The 2011 Governor’s Ag Development Summit, June 29, provided producers and industry leaders with an oppor-tunity to come together and focus on topics impacting

South Dakota’s No. 1 industry and its people, says Walt Bones,

South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture.

“Agriculture is such a dynamic industry, with so many moving

pieces; all too often (those of us working in the industry) get fo-

cused on the urgency of the day and not on what is really impor-

tant,” Bones says. “This summit gives producers an opportunity to

focus on what’s important and not urgent.”

Ag banking, rural health and industrial agriculture were the topics which took center stage during the second annual summit, held in Sioux Falls. Each topic area was the focus of a panel discussion where experts discussed issues, solutions and answered attendee questions.

“These topics reflect the fact that agriculture of the future is surely not agriculture of the past,” says Dusty Johnson, Chief of Staff for Gov. Dennis Daugaard and the event’s master of ceremonies.

2011 Governor’s Ag Development Summit brings leaders in ag together

Rebekah Cradduck, Jay Weems and Dan Heineman discuss rural health issues as part of a panel discussion during the Governor’s Ag Summit June 29, Dusty Johnson, chief of staff for Gov. Dennis Daugaard, mediates the discussion. Rural health was one of several topics that took center stage during the second annual summit, held in Sioux Falls. Ag banking and industrial agriculture were the other two topics featured. Each topic area was the focus of a panel discussion where experts discussed issues, solutions and answered attendee questions.

Sitting around the kitchen table with his son and grandson, Jerry Oines, 73, says he started the three-generation farm-ing operation “cold turkey.”

“I owned an auto dealership in Brookings and managed quite a few employees and just wanted to get out and do something on my own,” Jerry says of his first career and the business he took over after his dad passed away in the late 1960s.

In 1970 Oines purchased an 800-acre farm 3 miles north of Brookings. Even though he had to ask his friend to teach him

how to operate the tractor and guide him in planting his first

field of corn, Oines quickly figured things out and never looked

back.

“I always say I went from the frying pan into the fire, but I

loved the independence. It felt good not to have employees,

even though they were good people, I enjoy being on my own,”

says Jerry, who is semi-retired, but still helps his son, Jason, 49,

and grandson, Nick, 23, on the operation which has grown to

include; 3,000 acres of corn, soybeans, alfalfa and a 499-head

Farming next door to acreages means being a good neighbor

Three generations of farmers, Nick, 23, Jason, 49, and Jerry Oines, 73, operate a farm and feedlot operation 3 miles north of Brookings, S.D.

Reflecting back on his career, Chuck Olsen attributes his success to a single decision he made as an 18-year-old college freshman. At 18 Olsen tried out for the South

Dakota State University livestock judging team and made the cut.

“There is no question in my mind that, that single experience has

had the greatest impact on the outcome of my business life,” says

the now 57-year-old swine seedstock producer and owner of Olsen Yorkshires, Irene, S.D.

The man he credits for this positive experience was his judging coach, Dr. Dan Gee.

“It was his passion. He is passionate about livestock and teaching. He was willing to share his life with us and teach us life skills we

Dr. Dan Gee An ambassador for South Dakota agriculture

Dan & Rae Jean at Table Mountain South Africa: Dan Gee has served as the executive director of South Dakota Ag & Rural Leadership with the help of his wife, Rae Jean, since 2000. Every two years a new class of 30 South Dakota agriculture producers and agribusiness people participate in two years of leadership and educational tours of South Dakota agriculture and go on an international trip. Dan and Rae Jean are pictured during a recent trip to South Africa with Class V.


would use long after the judging experi-ence was over,” Olsen says.

Olsen is one of many South Dakotans influenced by Gee’s passion for the people and industry of South Dakota agricul-ture. Gee was recognized by Governor Daugaard as the first recipient of the Governor’s Ag Ambassador Award for his more than 40 years of service, contribu-tions and commitment to South Dakota agriculture. He was presented with the award during the Governor’s Ag Summit June 29.

“The award gives us an opportunity to raise awareness of individuals who are true visionaries in our industry. People whose entire life has been consumed with agriculture – people who are leaving a large footprint on the future of South Dakota agriculture,” says Walt Bones, South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture and a member of SDARL Class II.

As the Department of Agri-culture sought nominations to present to the governor, Lucas Lentsch, director of agricultural development for the state of South Dakota, says it quickly became evi-dent Gee was known in agriculture circles across the state.

“His was the name that continued to sur-face over and over again,” says Lentsch, who met Dr. Gee in 1993 when he was a freshman in Gee’s Animal Science 101 class. “Dr. Gee sets the precedent of per-sonal accomplishment for the industry.”

Barry Dunn, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Director of SDSU Exten-sion agrees.

“I first met Dan 40 years ago when I was a student in his Animal Science 101 class. The commitment to agriculture that I saw in him then, as a 17-year-old college freshman, is the same commitment that I see today,” says Dunn, who refers to Gee as a mentor, role model, friend and leader within South Dakota agriculture.

Gee began teaching Animal Science 101 in 1966 while pursuing his master’s de-gree. He taught for 34 years, 17 of those years he served as coach of the collegiate

livestock judging team. When he retired in 2000, Gee helped launch the South Dakota Ag & Rural Leadership program and has served as executive director of SDARL ever since.

“The SDARL initiative is probably the most important things that have hap-pened in South Dakota agriculture in the

last decade. He was at the helm of the ship leading the way for us,” Dunn says. “He’s been a rock for the industry with 40 years of teaching and calm, steady leadership.”

A member of SDARL Class V, Adam Wirt, 32, says by watching Gee’s exam-ple, he and his classmates learned what it is to be a leader in their communities and South Dakota’s agriculture industry.

“He teaches you about showing up and participating – it’s one thing to talk about leadership, but he showed us that true leaders show up and participate,” says Wirt, who got to know Dr. Gee as a kid

when Gee brought SDSU livestock judg-ing teams out to his family’s farm. “It was nice to know when I went to college that I had a friend in Dr. Gee and he would help guide me.”

Thousands of SDSU agriculture students echo Wirt’s comments, says Jim Woster, an agriculture columnist and retired

stockyards cattle buyer who is actively involved in several South Dakota agricul-ture organizations and the SDSU Foun-dation.

“I don’t think we’ve had anyone in the state of South Dakota over the last 40 years who has had more of an impact on young people in agriculture than Dan. He puts his heart and soul in everything he does and believes in what he’s do-ing - in the importance of agriculture and the importance of education,” says Woster, recounting how Gee would bring his livestock marketing students to the stockyards each year.

The Kohler/Gee Endowment was recently established to help fund SDSU Colle-giate Livestock Judging. To contribute to the Kohler/Gee Livestock Judging Endow-ment, contact [email protected].

Teaching Animal Science 101 & Life

Dr. Dan Gee’s career began with a visit to the principal’s office.

“I clearly remember the day the high school principal pulled me out of class. I knew I was in some sort of

trouble. We marched down to his office and had a long conversation about why I was taking all the easy classes and not any of the college prep courses,” recalls Gee, of that day more than 50 years ago. “He said ‘mister, you’re college material.’ Until then I’d never thought about that

See DAn gEE • 16

Dr. Dan Gee enjoyed his 34-year career as a professor of Animal and Range Sciences. He chose to teach introductory classes his entire career because he enjoyed working with freshman and wanted the opportunity to have a positive impact early in their college career.


Networking within South Dakota agriculture

About 250 agriculture producers and agri-business people from across South Dakota attended the free event – allowing for many networking and idea-sharing opportunities says Cheri Rath, executive director of South Dakota Value Added Center.

“This is a good opportunity to get together with other progressive people in the agriculture industry,” says Rath, adding that she gains as much, if not more from visiting with her peers in the agriculture industry as she does listening to the panel discussions.

Key Leaders Roundtable

Rath was among 46 leaders of South Dakota agricul-ture organizations asked to attend the first Key Leader Roundtable discussion June 28. Inspired by Gov. Daugaard’s desire to sit down with representatives from

all the state’s agriculture organizations; the purpose of

this roundtable discussion was to develop a priority list

of issues which impact all sectors of South Dakota agri-

culture and discuss possible solutions with the governor.

“This was a time to focus on not what divides us, but

what unites us,” Bones says. “As we move forward, we

need to have one united voice – it’s the only way we can

be successful.”

The seven key issues the group agreed upon included;

infrastructure, increasing livestock production value,

water issues, youth in agriculture, increasing public

awareness of what South Dakota producers do and how

they do it, zoning issues, and value added. These issues

will be used to help guide the Department of Agricul-

ture’s focus over the next year.

“There was solid representation from all areas within the industry of agriculture,” says Shantel Krebs, a state sena-tor and chairperson of the State Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee. “It was so beneficial to bring together key leaders and develop areas to focus on for the future of agriculture in South Dakota.”

Brad Bonhorst, chairman of the S.D. Oilseed Council agrees.

“It’s not often that you get commodity groups in the same room talking about the same issues. Typically we talk about issues among ourselves, but it’s nice to discuss with others and it was great to get new perspectives from other agriculture leaders,” says Bonhorst, who op-erates a corn, soybean, sunflower and cow/calf operation east of Pierre, S.D.

Bonhorst says he was impressed by Daugaard’s effort to understand the state’s agriculture issues.

“I appreciate the fact that as a new governor he reached out and took the opportunity to get the opinions of farmers and industry leaders,” Bonhorst says.

Rural health: challenges and opportunitiesA cancer survivor, Bonhorst was also interested in the rural health panel discussion presented during the Ag Summit.

“Health care is very, very expensive – especially for people like me who are self-employed farmers/ranchers,” Bonhorst says, adding that like many who farm, his wife works in town; primarily so their family has insurance.

Bonhorst adds that his family is fortunate to live so close to Pierre; a community where health care is read-ily available – a service that many producers and their families in rural South Dakota have to drive a signifi-cant distance to access.

“Rural healthcare is a quality of life issue,” says Gary Cammack, a Union Center, S.D., rancher and co-owner of Cammack Ranch Supply. “When young people are

considering whether they will come back to a rural community, hospitals and availability of health care is on the list of services they look for – right up there with job opportunities and schools.”

Cammack’s wife, Amy, understands the inconvenience and dangers of living 50 miles from the nearest hospital

and health care professionals. She has served as a volunteer EMT on the Rural Meade Ambulance Service for 15 years.

“We live so far from anywhere that our rural ambulance becomes quite important,” says Amy, who has helped treat and transport victims of plane wrecks, car accidents, motor-cycle accidents, accidental shootings and rattlesnake bites.

Because the nearest hospital is small,

there are many specialists and ser-vices it does not provide. Amy says many of the people they transport end up in the Rapid City hospital – almost 80 miles from Union Center.

Technology and recruiting quali-fied staff to rural healthcare clinics and hospitals were two of several solutions discussed by health care experts during the Ag Summit Rural Health panel discussion.

“It’s important people in rural com-munities have access to many differ-ent specialists. One tactic we use at

Avera is telehealth services,” says Jay Weems, executive director of Avera eCare Services.

One way eCare works, Weems ex-plains is by utilizing two-way video technology to provide real time consultations between staff at rural clinics and hospitals and specialists located in Sioux Falls.

“With this technology we can take the specialists and drop them in the small rural communities when they are needed,” Weems says.

cattle feedlot.

Jason was only 8 at the time. Growing up on the farm, he developed a keen interest in farming and raising livestock and spent the early years of his career work-ing for area farmers and feedlot owners until his dad asked him to join the family operation about 20 years ago.

Since that time, the father-son team has slowly expanded their cropping and feedlot operation and began custom farming for their prominent neighbor – South Dakota State University. The family contract farms for the university’s farm department, the depart-ment which raises feed for the university’s livestock units.

“Trying to fit everything in takes some juggling be-cause SDSU’s fields have the same needs that ours do, but we get it done,” Jason says.

To help get everything done, Jerry and Jason asked Nick to join the operation a few years ago.

“Dad called one night and asked if I wanted the job. I said, ‘yup,’ and called my boss the next morning,” says Nick, who had been working for South Dakota Soybean Processors in Volga, S.D. “I enjoy working on the farm because I’m doing something different all the time. One minute I’m a mechanic, the next minute I’m a veterinarian.”

Good neighborsSince the day he traded in his Ford Motor hat in for one with a John Deere logo, taking care of the envi-ronment has been a top priority for Jerry.

“Back when I was in the automobile business, the vehicles were pretty smoky, you could see the exhaust and ventilation wasn’t that great either. Being confined to a building with those fumes always bothered me. My dad died of cancer, and I always felt that might have been the reason,” says Jerry, who served on the

Brookings Conservation District Board. “I think that had an influence on how we farm – I prefer clean air and clean water.”

Located only a few miles from Six Mile Creek, the farm has several acres of grass waterways to filter water and prevent runoff. They also implement minimal tillage practices and utilize precision farming technol-ogy – GPS monitors and auto steer - to reduce fuel consumption and eliminate over-application of inputs.

Because the land they farm is surrounded by small acreages, the Oines say they make a concerted effort to portray a positive image of production agriculture to their non-ag neighbors.

“We’re very conscious of people’s perceptions. We work very hard to keep our farmsteads and fields tidy,” Jason says. “Sometimes we’ll get complaints about the “cow smell,” and when we’re out spraying they might stop and say they are concerned it will kill their flow-ers, so we have to explain how it works.

“Sometimes I think people forget that we all go to the same grocery store. We buy the same food. We want

our food to be healthy too,” he adds.

The trio believes that building strong relationships with their neighbors is as important as implement-ing environmentally friendly practices. They put up grass hay for a neighbor and throughout the winter they help clear roads and driveways, and have pulled a neighbor out of a snow bank more than once.

Relationships also play a key role in expanding their operation. A large percentage of their acres are leased.

“Competition is fierce in Brookings County. Most of the land we lease people who have known my dad for a long time,” Jason says.

Transitioning for the futureIn semi-retirement, Jerry still helps with planting and harvest, and is involved with marketing decisions, but for several years now, Jason has taken over the manage-ment role– taking care of farm bookkeeping, insurance paperwork and day-to-day operations.

Because the two men have different marketing styles, they rely on a third-party marketing consultant to as-sist in marketing decisions.

“Dad’s more conservative than I am. He’s in a different stage of life than me. I’m willing to take more risks,” Jason says.

“I’m more likely to sell too soon and maybe Jason would sell too late, so we like the fact our marketer is somewhere in the middle,” Jerry says.

Now that Nick works fulltime on the operation, Jason is slowly transferring more responsibility over to his son in hopes that when he is ready to retire, Nick will be ready to take over.

“I have a lot of goals for the operation that I want to implement as I become more involved,” Nick says. “More and more I get to make decisions on my own. It’s very gratifying when I know I’ve made the right decisions and dad or grandpa comes up to me and says I did make the right decision.”

I always say I went from the frying pan into the fire, but I loved the independence. It felt good not to have employees, even though they were good people, I enjoy being on my own.

because I was the first in my family to go to college.’”

Raised on a farm near Marshall, Minn., Gee grew up showing purebred Angus cattle and three breeds of purebred hogs at county and state fairs. He was also ac-tively involved in 4-H and FFA livestock judging – all experiences which prompted him to pursue a degree in Animal Hus-bandry at the University of Minnesota.

As a student he says there were a few pro-fessors who took him under their wing, inviting him to visit with them about life outside of course work.

“They seemed to recognize a guy a little lost and fresh from the country,” says Gee, of the example he set out to mir-ror as a college professor. “I always felt a university should be something more than old crotchety professors teaching class and going back to their office and shutting the door.”

It was also at the University of Minnesota that Gee began dating Rae Jean Stassen. A girl from his county that he’d noticed from 4-H activities, but didn’t get to know until college.

“I had a car and she didn’t, so she was always asking for a ride home,” he says of how he got to know his wife of 46 years.

Shortly after they married the couple moved to Brookings where Gee began pursuing his master’s in Animal Science with an emphasis on Meats – he’d devel-oped an interest in meat science while working in the meat science lab at the University of Minnesota.

A year later the head of the department asked him if he’d be interested in teach-ing the Animal Science 101 class while he finished his degree. His answer - as thousands of SDSU students who took Animal Science 101 during his 34-year

career as professor of animal and range

sciences know - was “yes.”

Gee enjoyed teaching the introductory

course so much that he taught it until he

retired in 2000.

“The unusual thing about me is most professors want to teach more advanced courses. I didn’t. Every fall I got to see a new set of freshman and I think I saw myself in them,” Gee says. “I wanted the chance to meet freshman and have a little influence on them. I tried to incorporate lessons of things they could think about for themselves – for better living and life. I taught Animal Science 101 and life.”

More focused on making a difference through teaching than adding titles be-hind his name, Gee turned down many requests to serve as department head.

“I concluded fairly quickly that it would get in the way of teaching.”

In addition to teaching, coaching live-stock and meats judging, and serving as the professor in charge of the meat lab and slaughter operations at SDSU, Gee spent his summers judging state and national livestock competitions.

His efforts did not go unnoticed. Very early in his career, Gee was recognized as Outstanding Teacher for the College of Ag & Bio Sciences. The list of awards Gee received from educational and agriculture organizations throughout his years of teaching is long and impressive. In 2001, he was bestowed the title, “Professor Emeritus of Animal and Range Sciences,” by then SDSU President, Peggy Gordon Elliot.

When he retired from teaching at 57, he was approached by the South Dakota Livestock Foundation and asked to de-velop a leadership program for agriculture producers and agribusiness people.

“I said I’ll lead the first four classes and

get the program off and running and then someone else can take it over,” he says of how he became the driving force behind South Dakota Ag & Rural Leadership in 2000. “Four years turned to six years, and eight years and today I’m 12 years in.”

Like his career as a professor and livestock judging coach, Gee says it’s the people he has the opportunity to work with that has made SDARL a program he has eagerly invested 12 years of what would have been his retirement.

“It’s the people. The program is just a program without the people. Sixty apply and we get to select 30,” he says of the program that more than 180 South Dakota agri-culture producers and agribusiness people have participated in.

Although he will be retiring after class six wraps up in 2012, Gee and Rae Jean will remain actively involved as the director of SDARL alumni.

“South Dakota’s agriculture industry has so many good people who care about farm-ing, raising crops, livestock and feeding themselves and the other hungry people in the world,” Gee says. “Our state has people who actually care about doing the right things.”

There’s a lot of research and testing going on inside South Dakota State University Seed Technology Laboratory that will impact the future of South Dakota wheat.

“It’s amazing what happens under this roof,” says Padmanaban “Padu” Krishnan, professor of health and nutritional sciences and cereal chemist at SDSU.

As he walks into the Crop Quality Lab he picks up two jars of flour and says that just by looking he can’t tell one type of flour from the other. However, once he runs a series of tests on the wheat kernels, the flour and the dough, he will be able to determine the wheat’s gluten content along with its other nutritional and functional

traits. And, once he bakes a loaf of bread, or pizza crust, or batch of noodles in the lab’s processing room he will be able to determine how well one wheat variety fares in the test-kitchen over another variety.

The end product is the focus of Krishnan and his peers’ research – developing varieties of wheat that will succeed in South Dakota fields and in the global marketplace.

“The consumer drives our research. They show us by their buying behaviors what we need to develop,” he says. “Our consumer is the milling company, the baking industry and the home maker. Just about everyone has some specifications of the type of flour they

need and they are all different.”

What’s new in wheat research?To answer this question, Krishnan, research assistant, Julie Kindelspire and post doctorate research associate, Melanie Caffe-Treml, invited us into their lab to share some of the projects they are cur-rently working on with Land and Live-stock readers.

Q: What new consumer demand are you responding to in your research?Krishna: Health and food functionality has always been very important to the consumer. I’ve worked in this industry for more than 23 years and health appears to be top on the priority list, along with taste. If it is not tasty they will not eat it. So, it is a catch-22.

With health as our focus, we are currently looking at cancer fighting wheat variet-ies. We are researching wheat varieties to determine which varieties contain higher levels of selenium; the only mineral ele-ment the FDA allows us to say reduces instances of cancer.

Selenium could increase the value of South Dakota wheat, as wheat grown in other areas of the country contains on average .05 parts per million (ppm) sele-nium and South Dakota wheat contains 0.5 ppm selenium and some areas have as much as 10 to 60 ppm selenium in the wheat.

What used to be a nutritional liability is now viewed as a magic bullet. The trick and research question now is how to turn it into a goldmine for producers and the

industry as there are markets for high-selenium wheat? Our answer is to produce high selenium vital gluten.

Q: Why does South Dakota wheat con-tain higher levels of selenium?Krishnan: Selenium is found in the soils along the Missouri River – so the wheat absorbs the selenium from the soil.

Selenium binds to the protein in the wheat. Because gluten is the protein in the wheat, wheat with higher gluten content, will also contain higher levels of selenium.

Q: What is your role in this research?Krishnan: The wheat breeders send me wheat from different varieties to test. We process the wheat and then test the nutritional value of the flour, the gluten content of the flour and finally, how well it performs in the test-kitchen. I then relay this information to the breeders so they can make selections based on this information.

Q: What other things are you working on?Krishnan: Selenium is only one story. We have investigated high fiber pizza crusts and tortillas as well as multiple applica-tions for our South Dakota white wheat, Alice.

Our white wheat can make a good noodle as well as a decent loaf of bread. With a lot of science, a little bit of creativity, and the best tools available we can translate intrinsic good qualities in our crops into economic advantages for the people who produce the food in the first place.

The “seed” in the “Seed Technology” also serves as a metaphor for ideas as Laird

He adds that the eCare services expand beyond con-sultation to providing 24/7 bedside monitoring of ICU patients, Emergency room support, and access to pharmacists.

“Basically you have a specialist using video to support rural hospital medical staff. They can see the patient,

review the monitors and consult with the rural hospital staff,” Weems says. “It’s a game changer for healthcare when you can provide immediate care.”

Weems adds that this support technology also helps rural hospitals recruit doctors.

“We have an example of a physician resident who want-ed to stay in South Dakota and chose one Avera hospital over another Avera hospital because it was wired with

eCare technology and the other one was not,” Weems says.

Recruiting qualified people to staff clinics and hos-pitals in rural communities is a challenge, adds panel member Rebekah Cradduck, the vice president of the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations. Cradduck says communities need to take advantage of federal and state resources to make their community more attractive to practitioners.

“There are many resources out there. Communities need to reach out to these resources,” Cradduck says, specifically sighting the South Dakota Loan Repayment Program.

This program provides for the repayment of qualifying educational loans for health professionals. In return, the health professional commits to fulfill a service obliga-tion in an eligible practice site within a federally desig-nated health professional shortage area for a minimum of two years. To learn more visit, http://doh.sd.gov/RuralHealth/StateLoan.aspx.

“You need to be the community that has filled out the application and qualifies for this designation. If you don’t engage with those who match at the state level, you’re missing out on an opportunity to recruit,” Crad-duck says.

South Dakota Governor’s Ag AmbassadorThe Governor’s Ag Summit concluded by naming Dan Gee as the first South Dakota Governor’s Ag Ambas-sador. The annual award was presented during the Governor’s Ag Banquet. To learn more about Dan Gee and view a video presentation visit http://sdda.sd.gov/AgDevelopment/SpecialEvents.aspx.

eCare technology and the other one was not,” Weems says.

Recruiting qualified people to staff clinics and hos-pitals in rural communities is a challenge, adds panel member Rebekah Cradduck, the vice president of the South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations. Cradduck says communities need to take advantage of federal and state resources to make their community more attractive to practitioners.

“There are many resources out there. Communities need to reach out to these resources,” Cradduck says, specifically sighting the South Dakota Loan Repayment Program.

This program provides for the repayment of qualifying educational loans for health professionals. In return, the health professional commits to fulfill a service obliga-tion in an eligible practice site within a federally desig-nated health professional shortage area for a minimum of two years. To learn more visit, http://doh.sd.gov/RuralHealth/StateLoan.aspx.

“You need to be the community that has filled out the application and qualifies for this designation. If you don’t engage with those who match at the state level, you’re missing out on an opportunity to recruit,” Crad-duck says.

South Dakota Governor’s Ag AmbassadorThe Governor’s Ag Summit concluded by naming Dan Gee as the first South Dakota Governor’s Ag Ambas-sador. The annual award was presented during the Governor’s Ag Banquet. To learn more about Dan Gee and view a video presentation visit http://sdda.sd.gov/AgDevelopment/SpecialEvents.aspx.

Larson of the South Dakota Wheat Com-mission once articulated. The seed is the plant’s best idea and investment for the next generation.

Q: Can you give me an example of how the lab’s kitchen is used to test flour?Kindelspire: Half of the wheat we pro-duce in this country is exported overseas. Currently Asian markets only purchase the wheat they use for noodles from Australia. I’m testing different varieties of South Dakota white wheat to see if we can use our wheat to make noodles that meet the Asian market’s expectations. Ideally, we want to produce an American Asian noodle that is superior in eating quality by blending and by defining in-

strumental parameters for our dough and processing equipment.

Since there is no test that can predict if a flour will produce a quality noodle, I am using the Crop Quality Lab facilities to make noodles from scratch and then will test the quality and texture of the noodles I make.

With the science and the tools available, we are developing predictive tools to quickly estimate the value of our crops as well as to see what factors may become critical defining that quality. What is important this year may be different next year. Quality refuses to be the same every year, and therefore a programmatic effort will solve tactical problems as well provide for fundamental research. We also need to understand the interaction between

varieties (genetics) and our growing envi-ronments.

Q: Are there any new techniques when it

comes to developing new wheat variet-

ies?

Caffe-Treml: I’m working under the su-pervision of the winter wheat breeder, Dr. Berzonsky, and I am using a technique to speed up the development process.

In order to develop a new wheat line it traditionally requires several generations of self-pollination. However, I am work-ing to create a doubled-haploid wheat – a wheat line which can be obtained in one step without multiple generations of self-pollination.

This technique uses corn pollen to trigger the development of a wheat seed contain-

ing an embryo with half the chromosome number. The corn chromosomes are eliminated during the embryo develop-ment. Because the seed doesn’t have a nor-mally developed endosperm, the embryo is rescued and cultured in vitro. At the appropriate stage, the haploid plant-let is treated with a chemical that will double the number of chromosome. The resulting doubled-haploid lines are then extensively tested in the field. Overall, this technique probably saves one to two years on the development of a variety.

I started implementing this technique at SDSU in January. Although this tech-nique has been utilized in other labo-ratories across the United States, this is the first time it has been used within the winter wheat breeding project at SDSU.

Gearing Up for DakotafestReplicated SDSU campus, educational

forums and fundraising auction planned

The 16th Annual Dakotafest is set for August 16-18, 2011 at the Schlaffman Farm in Mitchell, South Dakota, and SDSU's presence will be hard to miss - thanks in part to a three-story inflatable replica of SDSU's signature campanile.

The campanile is just one piece of a simulated SDSU campus that was unveiled at the 2010 Dakotafest and will return in 2011. The recre-ated campus features a SDSU tent with nearly 60 exhibitors and five separate pavilions representing plant science, seed technology, animal science, ru-ral health, politics and the SDSU bookstore with logoed merchandise for sale.

"We are excited to partner with SDSU again this year at Dakotafest, and we have several activities planned," says Ray Bianchi, farm show director for Cygnus Farm Shows which hosts the annual event.

"The SDSU campus format is very visibile and offers a great opportunity for SDSU to share its wealth of knowledge on agricultural research, Ex-tension outreach, and the variety of curriculums offered to students," Bianchi adds. Approximately 32,000 people visited the three-day event in Mitchell last year.

A fundraising auction to benefit the SDSU Cow-Calf Unit Expansion is also being planned for Thursday, Aug. 18 - the final day of the show. In 2010, an impromptu auction came together dur-ing the last day of Dakotafest to raise money for the SDSU Cow-Calf Unit, and it was such a suc-cess the intention is to build upon that this year.

"The auction was planned in just a few hours last year with vendors donating livestock equipment and items they had at the show. All total, $3,200 was raised for SDSU. We will solicit donations well in advance this year - from ag products and services to trips - and hope to aid the University in raising significant funding for the Cow-Calf Unit," Bianchi explains.

Information about iGrow, the innovative web portal launched by SDSU's College of Agriculture and Biological Sciences this winter, will be avail-able at SDSU exhibits throughout Dakotafest as well.

One of the things that hasn't changed at Dakot-fest is the commitment to delivering pertinent information to attendees. Throughout this year's three-day event the SDSU pavilion will continue to host educational sessions- from coffee shop talks with Extension specialists each morning to forums on current industry and political top-ics. "We are planning to have a panel to discuss the next generation of the Farm Bill, as well as a forum on the budget pressures to education and how that impacts K-12 and collegiate curricu-lums," Bianchi says.

Editor's Note: The 2011 Dakotafest event will be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 16 - 18 in Mitchell, SD. The $8 entry price for the show will remain the same as 2010. The full schedule of events for Dakotafest will be released in June, visit http://farmshows.com/DFST/ for details.
