Forty feet may not sound big,but when you are in the ma-chine and cutting, 40 feet of strawand wheat rolling through thecombine is almost crazy towatch. Not to mention when you“accidentally” fill your headerand plug the feeder house.

“Now that’s a 40-foot mouth-ful,” as my cousin Hank says.

As I left that Friday in June,little did I know what the futurewould hold. I drove slowlynorth, following a grain cart thatI could not wait to drive as soonas we got to Garden City, Kan.

This would be my first timeto step out into a big new world;my first time to leave my homeand my family and set out on ajob that would have late hoursand continuous struggles as Iwent along.

Kansas is much differentfrom Oklahoma. It is wheat fieldafter wheat field, not to mentionthe amount of feeder cattle thatare in the feed yards. Timeseemed to fly by, waking upearly and cutting till the mois-ture became too high or wedidn’t have any more fields tocut. In no time at all, we leftGarden City, ready for the up-coming events that were in store.

Brewster, Kan., was the nextspot we cut. We began on a 400-acre field. This is what harvest-ing is about; cutting the biggestcontinuous fields I have seen.

Driving the tractor and graincart turned out to be stressfulwork. Keeping everyonedumped and empty was a full-time job, considering there arefour combines with 40-footheaders. Dumping on the gowas one of the best experiences.Having the ability to have a

combine dump on you whilethey are still cutting is amazing.

Soon after mastering thegrain cart, I got my dream job;driving one of those monstercombines. Running this ma-chine alongside Hank was abreathtaking experience I willalways treasure.

I got to meet farmers in thesetowns and listen to the strugglesand discomforts that they arefeeling during the drought.These small towns each re-minded me of home – placeswhere everyone knows every-one and someone is alwaysthere to lend a helping hand.

Before I knew it, we were allthe way north to Philip, S.D.,the home state of MountRushmore. The geography inthis area is so diverse; fields ofamber waves nestled betweenthe hills and massive rivers thatseparated the Indian Reserva-tions, one of the most beautifulplaces that anyone could see.

As if enjoying the scenerywhile I worked wasn’t enough,I was surprised by my familyshowing up all the way fromOklahoma to visit. I asked for aday off to go see Mt. Rushmorewith my family, which was sobeautiful and memorable.

My family vacation went bytoo fast, and the next thing Iknew I was back in the combinecab again. I have never been moreproud than showing my mom,dad and sister that I can run acombine, and do it pretty well.

My journey’s end came inBillings, Mont. on Aug. 8, a sadday for me. Being on a combinefor two months really does af-fect you mentally and physi-cally. There was no greater feel-ing than driving that combine

from June 8 to Aug. 8. You getso used to showing up everyday to the field, smelling thewheat and the fresh air, know-ing that every time you start upthe combine you are taking onthe responsibility of running a$300,000 combine and an$85,000 header.

But deeper than that, youknow that you are helping thefuture of agriculture with thework you are doing. I have beenaround farming and livestockall of my life, so this summerand its experiences were new,but at the same time somehowfamiliar, like an old comfort-able pair of boots that seem to“fit” just right.

Farmers have a stressful lifeand one that requires a greatdeal of hope, optimism and faith.You can do great one year, andlose it all in a drought the next.

A farmer in Kansas told me:“You thank God for the days itrains and the good years youhave, because you never knowwhen the time comes and youhave no crops at all.”

Kansas had one of those

years for growing wheat andcorn in some areas. The mas-sive drought gave the farmers arealization of what can trulyhappen without any rain.

Being on a combine givesyou lots of time to think. Thequestion I keep coming up withas I made my lazy circles was:What would we do withoutfarmers? The farmers I met aresome of the hardest workingand most trusting people. Theyput their time, money and liveson the line each and every dayto feed the rest of us. Farmerswork all hours of the day, miss-ing their families at times andmissing important things intheir family’s life.

Randy and Hank Hamiltaught me more this summerthan I could ever learn by stay-ing home and being a typicalteenager. There are so many lifelessons that I have learned:learning how to grease a com-bine and header by myself,blowing off a machine and get-ting ready to move to anotherstate, and learning skills to be-come a young worker.

To the editor:I began this journey as a cus-

tom cutter last summer (see re-lated story) with a sentence fromthe FFA Creed, and I ended itwith the same sentence that af-fected me personally. The Creedstates, “for I know the joys anddiscomforts of agricultural life.”

Do we truly understand this?There will always be successfulmoments in your farming ca-reer, but sometimes an outsidefactor can come sweeping in likea plague of locusts and destroyall you have worked towards.

FFA stands for Future Farm-ers of America. I had the greathonor this summer to be a farmerof the future. My choice to workand assist my family financiallythis summer made me unable toattend the Oklahoma FFAAlumni Camp. Because of myhardship, I was stripped of mylocal FFA office. It was one of theworst life changing moments Icould ever imagine. My familyhas always told me that God hasa plan for you, and it must bebigger and greater than what hehad for you now. Upon reflec-tion, if I could turn back timeand change my choice to workthis summer in agriculture,would I? Resolutely, no. AlumniCamp is a great thing for FFAmembers, but it pales in com-parison to the “real” FFA expe-riences I received this summer.

I thought FFA stood for Fu-ture Farmers of America. Youcannot find a more textbookdefinition of that than an FFAstudent going out to work in anagricultural endeavor. To pun-ish a young girl, officer and Starchapter FFA member like this ishumiliating and disgraceful. ButI have learned a valuable lessonfrom this. The biggest one is thatunfortunately you can’t alwaystrust your FFA advisor, admin-istrators and state Career TechAg Ed staff to do the honest andright thing. Abraham Lincolnonce said, “Nearly all men canstand adversity, but if you wantto test a man’s character, givehim power.” Sadly my familyand I have learned this lesson ofman’s character only too well.

FFA is a student-driven orga-nization, so the betterment andbest interest of students shouldcome first. The opportunities areunlimited in agriculture, so whymake a child choose between acamp or a once in a lifetimechance to fulfill her dreams? Justas the creed states “Joys and Dis-comforts,” I can honestly say thispast year I have experiencedmore discomforts and heartachethrough the FFA organizationthan joy. Remembering the nega-tives will stand out in my mindforever. I can only hope by theend of my junior year that I willhave more positive experiencesthrough the FFA.

My passions in life are wherethey stand and will never change.Life is about having passion forsomething. If you don’t have apassion for something then youwill never succeed. I had a pas-sion this summer for running acombine, and living my dream. Iwouldn’t change that for any-thing. I have learned the bitterlesson to have passion, truth,honesty and integrity, even inthe face of adversity. Adversityis like a strong wind. It tearsaway from us all but the thingsthat cannot be torn, so that wesee ourselves as we really are. Tothose that have weathered theserecent trials with me on bothsides of the fence, when you lookin the mirror, what do you see? Ihope someday I will be seen asan example for students acrossOklahoma that there is more tothis life than what your FFAchapter has to offer.

Letter to the editorDisappointment

firsthand how my uncle andcousin have been living the last27 years of custom harvestingwas the trip of a lifetime.

It wasn’t all work and noplay. We had some pretty greattimes too; from funny late nightsat I-Hop with all of the boys, tome “gently” waking up the restof the crew every morning.Adrian Thompson and JacobPicket from the Cashion FFAjoined me on this journey. Weare the future of America andthe Future Farmers of America.

After returning from har-vest, I had one week till schoolstarted and then the KingfisherCounty fair was right aroundthe corner. I showed a first andsecond place Commercial heiferas well as a Champion com-mercial. I also received seniorshowmanship.

Then I went to the Tulsa StateFair, where the KingfisherCounty chapters allowed us tostall with them and treated uslike we were one of their own.

They are outstanding FFAchapters, with teachers that putin the effort to help anyone andthe families that I met withinthose chapters are caring andhard working when it comes tosucceeding with their projects.

At the Tulsa fair, I won aclass three first place and a classfour first place Simmental In-fluence heifer, and placed thirdoverall Simmental Influence.

These winnings could nothave happened without thehelp of my family, PembrookCattle Company and GriswoldCattle Company. My cousinHeath Hamil also supported mein my journey of showing andalways pushes me to reach myfull potential.

Goods and services ex-pected to be produced are val-ued in the report at $12.8 mil-lion per year or $320 millionover the project’s lifetime.

Local landowners are pro-jected to earn $2.6 million an-nually, or $65 million over theproject’s lifetime and the ben-efit to local governments andschools in increased propertytaxes is estimated at $3 millionper year or $75 million total.

EIG’s analysis confirms es-timates made by Apex, accord-ing to the news release.

“The Kingfisher WindProject will provide energy re-sources across Oklahoma andfinancial resources for localresidents and governments forthe foreseeable future,” wrotestudy authors Kyle D. Deanand Russell R. Evans, who cur-rently serve as the associatedirector and executive direc-tor, respectively, of the StevenC. Agee Economic Researchand Policy Institute in theMeinders School of Business atOklahoma City University.“Kingfisher Wind Farm will bea source of significant economicactivity in Canadian County,Oklahoma.”

The Kingfisher Wind Farmis expected to infuse millionsof dollars into the localeconomy through direct and“spillover” effects, the studyconcluded.

In addition to the 90 long-term jobs it will support through

operation, it is estimated thatthe project will support a totalof 270 jobs during construction,resulting in over $9 million peryear in county labor incomeduring construction.

Income earned by partici-pating landowners in Canadianand Kingfisher counties is esti-mated to total about $3 millionper year during construction.

A significant proportion ofthe income generated by theproject will benefit local schools,according to the report.

The project will contributeabout $1.4 million to theOkarche School District (over$35 million during the lifetimeof the project), increasing theDistrict’s current budget by 63percent, the report said.

It will contribute another$426,000 to the Piedmont SchoolDistrict (over $10.7 million dur-ing the lifetime of the project), asum that will support an esti-mated eight to 10 new teachers.“EIG’s report confirms that theKingfisher Wind Farm repre-sents a significant economic de-velopment opportunity in Ca-nadian County,” KentDougherty, Apex wind devel-opment manager, said.

“It is economic impacts likethese that have encouragedGovernor Fallin to make Okla-homa a national leader in windenergy. We are proud to bringclean, domestic energy to Okla-homa in a way that offers suchgreat support to the local com-munity.”

County Treasurer KarenMueggenborg announced Fri-day that county propertyowners were ahead of lastyear in paying their 2012 advalorem tax.

As of Dec. 28, the last daythe treasurer’s books wereclosed out, 69 percent of thetotal tax abstract had beenpaid, $7,027,877.07 of a totalabstract of $11,965,005.

In 2011 at the same time, 56percent of the tax had beenpaid, $6,786,936.06 of a totalabstract of $12,039,856.

Mueggenborg said thattaxpayers who paid half oftheir total bill by Jan. 2 haveuntil April 1 to pay the sec-ond half without penalty orinterest.

Early payment helpscounty school districts, allow-ing them to remain current ontheir bills and avoiding issu-ing tax warrants, which bearinterest.

Schools receive 83.2 per-cent of the county’s ad valo-rem tax with county govern-ment general fund receiving13.8 percent, the county healthdepartment 2.8 percent andambulance districts 0.2 per-cent sharing the rest.

Kingfisher County will acton several pipeline road cross-ing applications at their weeklymeeting at 9:30 a.m. Monday atthe courthouse in Kingfisher.

In addition to monthly re-ports and appropriations, theywill consider a water pipelinecrossing from Blake ProductionCo. in the South Half of Section4, Township 15 North, Range 7West, a water pipeline crossingrequest from Newfield Explo-ration starting in the NortheastQuarter of Section 22, Town-ship 26 North, Range 7 Westand ending in the SouthwestQuarter of the southwest Quar-ter of Section 11, 15N,R7W anda water pipeline crossing fromBrickman Fastline, Inc., start-ing in the SE/4 of S21,T19N-R6W and ending in the NW/4of 33-19N-6W.

They also will act on therenewal of an agreement withCircuit Engineering District 8.

Rain and light snow acrossthe county on Christmas gavecounty wheat fields a little re-prieve from the drought that hasplagued the county for two years.

While more moisture isneeded, wheat brightened upafter the shower.

Kingfisher registered .25 inchofficially while the Mesonet sta-tion west of Kingfisher showed.4 inch.

Mike Combs said the gaugeat his home north of townshowed .6 inch and some fieldsin the Loyal area received .7 inch.

While the rain provided hopefor wheat and canola fields acrossthe area, crops aren’t out of thewoods, yet.

“It’s still a watch and waitdeal,” said County AgriculturalAgent Keith Boevers.

“It (the rain) may have pro-vided enough moisture to ger-minate seed and get plants up insome of the late-planted fields.

The crops’ success will de-pend on the weather betweennow and harvest, he added.

Stocker cattle operators arethe most affected by wheat con-dition at this point.

Fields which have beengrazed have been shorn of thefoliage they produced.

Stocker operators are goingto have to watch their fieldsclosely to have enough pastureto get their cattle through tomarket, Boevers said.

He estimated there are only20 percent of the normal numberof cattle on wheat pasture thiswinter in the county.

He said the late sown wheatthat comes up after the Christ-mas rain and snow would havea chance to produce seed.

In addition to extensivedamage in the art room,Sternberger said an estimatedeight to 10 CPU towers whichwere sitting on the floor in anearby computer lab will haveto be replaced, along with cabi-nets in another classroom.

Baseboards were also pulledout in the Commons area andelsewhere and some floor tilesare starting to pull loose.

“We’re going to have morethings show up as we go along,but all of it will be covered byinsurance,” he said. “The goodnews is, TRC is telling us thewater got extracted quickenough that we won’t have tocut out any sheetrock, whichsaves us a huge expense.”

Temporary shelving likelywill be installed in the art roomfor the time being and then newpermanent storage units willbe ordered at a later date.

“I’m just waiting for a requi-sition from the art teacher onceshe determines what consum-ables were lost and need to bereplaced,” he said.

While a musty smell lin-gered in the high school Friday,Sternberger said TRC measuredthe moisture in the walls andfound it to be well within ac-ceptable levels and also appliedan antimicrobial wash to pre-vent the development of moldand mildew.

“Overall, the school lookspretty good, considering whathappened,” he said. “The teach-ers worked as a team Thursdayto get things back into prettygood shape.”

Sternberger said he’ll havea better idea of the total dam-age estimate at Monday’sschool board meeting, whenhe’ll be asking board mem-bers to approve payment ofTRC’s bill, which will be re-

Oklahoma’s economy con-tinued to grow, but the paceof recovery slowed during2012, State Treasurer KenMiller said as he released thestate’s monthly gross receiptsto the treasury report.

“December receipts were1.5 percent better than theprior year and total year col-lections surpassed the previ-ous year by 3.8 percent,” Millersaid. “That compares togrowth last December of 11.1percent and a 2011 growth rateof 9.6 percent.”

Miller said December wasthe eighth time in the past yearthat collections exceeded thoseof the same month of 2011. Infour months of 2012, collec-

tions dipped slightly belowprior year collections.

“Twelve-month collectionsnow stand more than $1.7 bil-lion higher than in Februaryof 2010. Since we hit the troughalmost three years ago, almost90 percent of the revenue lostfrom our peak in December2008 has been recovered,” hesaid.

Miller said sales tax collec-tions indicate a healthy Christ-mas shopping season in Okla-homa. December sales tax col-lections, reflecting sales be-tween mid-November andmid-December, were $20.45million or 5.9 percent higherthan the last holiday shoppingseason.
