Effective May 1,2017, a family of four can earn up to $3,793 each month (or $876 each week for the household) and still meet income el- igibility requirements. To qualify for WIC, families must reside in North Dakota, meet the in- come requirements and have a nutri- tional or medical need, such as anemia or inadequate diet, for WIC services. Need is determined by measuring the child's or woman's height and weight, performing a he- moglobin test, and taking a health and dietary history. To find out if you qualify, contact the WIC agency in your community or refer to the WIC web page at www.ndhealth.gov/wic. by Linda Thistle 1 4 7 7 1 4 7 1 4 1 Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine. • Moderate 00 Challenging • • • HOO BOY © 2017 King Features Synd., Inc.

Failing to plan for drought like planning to fail Cattle producers should be prepared to deal with drought this year, North Dakota State University range and livestock experts warn. Despite heavy snowfall in many areas of North Dakota during the win- ter, the current U.S. Drought Monitor shows approximately 75 percent of the state is classified as abnormall2¢.dt'y.~ The remaining 25 percent has moder- ate drought. "With the majority (80 percent) of perennial grass growth in our area dic- tated by rainfall received prior to July 1, current conditions are a concern for producers," says Janna Kincheloe, the NDSU Extension Service's area live- stock systems specialist at the Het- tinger Research Extension Center. Statewide precipitation to this point is 50 to 80 percent of normal, and dry conditions are expected to, persist throughout the summer. "Due to these dry conditions in May, producers should expect a 10 percent or greater reduction in forage," cautions Kevin Sedivec, NDSU Ex- tension rangeland management spe- cialist. "If June remains dry, expect a minimum 30 percent reduction in grazeable forage. Livestock producers should have a drought management plan in place in case drought continues into the growing season." Some common strategies to prepare for and deal with drought include: - Increase the use of purchased feed - Lease additional pasture - Place livestock in a drylot tem- porarily - Wean early - Destock One of the first steps in preparing a drought management plan is to iden- tify "triggers," or thresholds, associated with water and vegetation that indicate the need for action. ff water quality is questionable, pro- ducers should collect samples and send them to a laboratory for analysis. Water testing kits are available through the county offices of the NDSU Extension Service. "Producers need to ensure they have enough good-quality water to meet livestock needs based on the type of animal and physiological status," says Karl Hoppe, NDSU Extension area livestock systems specialist at the Carrington Research Extension Center. "If this is an issue, alternatives such as installing pipelines, accessing other sources such as rural water, or hauling water should be explored." In addition, producers must ensure appropriate pasture utilization levels to maintain plant health. "Overgrazing affects the entire rangeland plant community and can re- duce species diversity and biomass, in- crease soil erosion and weed growth, and reduce soil water-holding capac- ity," explains Miranda Meehan, NDSU Extension livestock environmental stewardship specialist. "Drought con- ditions also can lead to increased risk of toxicity from selenium and nitrates in plants." Identifying contingency feed sources and strategies to maintain cat- fie health and productivity is important. "Current markets for grain may provide a favorable alternative feed for cattle if dry conditions persist," says Carl Dahlen, NDSU Extension beef cattle specialist. "Identifying a trigger date and having a destocking strategy are also important components ,of,a drought management plan. "Destocking may ~eem ~tiC, btit in some cases, it is the only realistic so- lut'lon," he adds. "Producers should de- termine now which animals they want to keep and which should be sold based on age, productivity, health, dis- position and genetic background." Sedivec suggests that planting an annual forage for pasture or hay could be an option if moisture does return during the summer (mid-June to mid- July). Foxtail millet, sudangrass, sorghum-sudan hybrids and pearl mil- let are good warm-season grass options that provide high-production forages for late summer and fall use. Planting a cover mixture also will provide graz- ing forage for emergency pasture at that time. Goals for the ranch, short- and long-term needs of the ranch family and the ranching operation's current fi- nancial position are important consid- erations for developing a drought strategy as well. "It is important to have a thorough understanding of ranch resources in order to balance rangeland health with livestock production," Kincheloe says. "There is no 'one size fits all' plan for drought management. The most im- portant part of any drought manage- ment plan is simply to have a plan in place." She recommends producers use the Drought Calculator, a U.S. Department of Agriculture-developed tool that uses local precipitation data to estimate the impact of below-normal precipitation on forage production.
