OBITUARIES NEWS
ChristineAnn 1 .
(Barthel) Finneman '
BEACH Christine Ann (Barthel)
Finneman, 96, passed from her
earthly life on ‘Jan. 24, 2021 , at San-
ford Hospital in Bismarck.
Christine was born in Sentinel
Butte at the home of a midwife on
Jan. 6, 1925, to Tony and Catherine
(Dietz) Barthel, the second oldest of
nine children. Her first eight grades
were at the Barthel Country School,
southeast of Golva, half a mile from
her home. Babysitting was one of her
jobs during high school, for 25 cents
a night, as well as working at the
local telephone office switchboard.
Christine graduated in 1942, along
with her future husband Ralph, who
was also her childhood sweetheart.
She achieved her teaching certificate
from Dickinson State College and
Minot, teaching at the Carew School.
Ralph and Christine married on
May 25, 1943, at St Mary’s Catholic
Church. They had 40 wonderful
years together when Ralph passed
away June 8, 1983. To this union, 11
children were born, seven girls and
four boys.
Christine was active in St. Mary’s
Altar Society, sang in the church
choir for many years, taught CCD,
led rosary before Mass, helped with
fall dinners and funerals, was a
teacher’s aide at the Golva School
and made numerous costumes for the .
children. For many years, she invited
the school children to come and get a
pumpkin from her garden, better
known as Grandma’s Pumpkin
Patch. Christine enjoyed family get-
togethers, playing cards, gardening,
canning, baking breads, singing and
dancing. She was everybody’s mom
and grandma, including a Japanese
4-H exchange student. She supported
many missionary children. Christine
enjoyed the iPad, e—mails and Face-
book. Her sewing machine put in
many hours making bridesmaid
dresses, multiple quilts, potholders
and patching jeans. Ralph and Chris-
tine were awarded Family of the
Year by. Knights of Columbus. Chris-
tine was also nominated for Beauti-
ful Women of. North Dakota.
Christine’s home became the
breakfast hot spot after Mass on Sun—
day mornings, serving many priests,
seminarians and whoever would
show up at the'door, including the
Rev. Adam Maus’s dog, Sally.
Teachers were always welcomed at
her home if they needed. a place to
rest their heads. She enjoyed writing
letters of encouragement and she had
a love of supporting the seminarians.
She was the community welcome
wagon whether it was offering a
plate of cookies or as a taxi driver for
the elderly. Her last home, the
(9019611 Valle Manor shp mm":
was Asllce Il'leaven.
Christine was preceded in death
by her parents, Tony and Catherine;
her husband, Ralph; three brothers,
Laurence, Raymond and Donnie;
one sister, Helen; a granddaughter,
Brandy Alberta; an infant grand-
daughter, Lindey Dale; an infant
grandson, Leon Jay and daughter-in-
law Linda.
Christine is survived by her 11
children Gene (Susan); Marylee
(Paul); Arlene (Marvin); Pauline
(Frank); Darrell (ReNee); Brenda
(Gary); Lynn (Duane); Gerrianne
(Al); Raphael (friend Robin); Mark
(Bella); and Michelle (Gary); 26
grandchildren; 45 great-grandchil-
dren; 10 great-great grandchildren;
her sisters, Dorothy Finneman, Lil-
lian Patterson, MaryAnn Marman
and Leona Jacobs; as well as numer-
ous nieces, nephews and in-laws.

NDSU offers updated crop compare program for 2021
North Dakota State University
Extension has updated the Crop
Compare program, which is a
spreadsheet designed to compare
cropping alternatives.
The program uses the direct
costs and yields from the 2021 pro—
jected crop budgets for nine regions
of North Dakota, but producers are
encouraged to enter the expected.
yields and input costs for their
farm. ‘
The user designates a reference.
crop and enters its expected market .
price. Depending on the region, a
broad selection of nine to 18 crops
are compared. The program pro—
vides the prices for competing
crops that would be necessary to
provide the same return over vari-
able costs as the reference crop.
“Producers can compare these
‘break-even’ prices to expected
market prices to see which crop is
most likely to compete with the ref-
erence crop,” says Ron Haugen,
NDSU Extension farm manage-
ment specialist. “Grain prices can
move quickly. The program pro-
vides a tool for producers to check
the changing scenarios until final
planting decisions are made this
spring.” .
The program includes an under-
lying assumption that fixed costs,
such as machinery ownership, land,
and the owner’s labor and manage—
ment, do not vary among crop
choices and therefore do not need
to be included in the analysis.
“In practice, there may be dif-
ferences in fixed costs that should
be considered,” Haugen says.
“For example, there may be ad-
ditional labor, management and
risk associated with a competing
crop,” Haugen adds. "‘If all the
labor and management is provided.
by the owner-operator, it would be
considered a fixed cost and could
be excluded. However, the pro-
ducer should add some cost if he or
she would only want to produce the
crop when an adequate reward
would be received for the extra
time and management required rel-
ative to the reference crop.”
A similar rationale could be used
if a competing crop is considered
higher risk.
The Crop Compare program is‘
available online at‘

agement/tools.
Use trigger dates as droughtdecision making guide:
As drought continues to affect
much of the western US. and North
Dakota, ranchers will make manage-
ment decisions that deal with the
land, livestock and even people.
“Based on the lack of fall mois-
ture in 2020 and snow this winter, the
odds for a negative impact on forage‘
production of pastureland and hay
land in 2021 is more likely than not,”
cautions Kevin Sedivec, North
Dakota State University Extension
“We need to remember that
drought conditions are common in
the northern Plains,” he adds “We
know 70% to 80% of our forage pro-_
duction is driven by moisture that oc—
curs by early July in the Dakotas and-
by late June in eastern Montana and
Wyoming.” .

age production include: r

Producers also know most of their
hay is harvested by early July.
“The lack of snow creates differ-
ent concerns,” says Miranda Meehan,
NDSU Extension livestock environ;
mental stewardship specialist. “Many
stock ponds and dams rely on
snowmelt runoff for recharge. With-f
out recharge, these livestock drinking:
water sources war become low,‘ ere:
ating water shortage and potentially
deadlywater.” V" T‘ ' ‘ ‘ ’
Total dissolved soluble (TDS) and
sulfate levels can reach toxic levels
when water levels are low. High lev-
els of TDS and sulfates lead to herd
health issues and low calf weightsp
Another concern with low water
levels is that cattle can become stuck
in the mud. . ,
Here is a decision guide for live-
stock producers based on trigger
dates to plan for drought impacts: ‘

“Having a plan in place with well-

will help you get through the drought
and minimizes losses,” Sedivec says.
“The longer you wait to make man-

will be available and the greater the
risk for losses.”
