Blog-September 25, 2024-10-11—It’s YOUR Agri Business-4601
   Quite the show 9-10---and 10-11---but it’s a business, agri-business stop and we covered Senator, Congressmen and even a State Climatologist----that were quotable and answered our questions.
    Why not start with SD’s only Congressman---Dusty Johnson---we talked about the kind of meetings and votes they are having in Washington DC---as well as the kind of questions his constituents are asking from afar. With all the political noise leading up to the November 5th election—its good we can get our leaders to share and tell you who’s asking what—and what they see that is important.
    Dusty---talked about those very things---it seems that there are no shortages of differences of opinion---and we listened—rustled the leaves---and Dusty—being the good South Dakota representative that he is---was ready to answer. 
     Energy was another key subject. We talked with the Vice-President of Government  Growth Energy Affairs—John Fuh-er –who praised the legislation that would extend the 45Z clean fuels credit which is currently slated to EXPIRE at the end of 2027. 
     Among the sponsors---Senators Pete Ricketts from Nebraska, Amy Klobuchar and Tiny Smith of Minnesota. The tax credit would be extended another 7 years if it finds it way successfully thru Legislative Chambers. New requirements would prioritize domestic feedstocks for low carbon fuels like bioethanol.  Most feel that the important bill sends a strong signal that 45Z credit is going to be a top bipartisan priority if you believe Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. Skor shares with the longer runway from Congress and clear, flexible, and timely guidance from the US Dept of Treasure—we’ll have the pieces in place to unlock billions of dollars in new clean energy investments across rural America. 
      South Dakota Soybeans Jerry Schmitz-did what South Dakota Corn’s Danita Murray did with us earlier in the week---updated the harvest and the hopes and their opens for help from DC House and Senate.
      Brent Baloun---Plains Commerce Bank—yes part of the planners updated on what they are doing individually for those in AG---for those in Business, the Seniors and yes those that are the young couples. We enjoy talking about help from Plains and they have been good partners.
      Sarah Heinrich had the Growing Harvest Network from North Dakota—Matt Swenson chipped in the morning commodities.
      Thanks to our friends from Sanford—we talked about Fall Prevention Week—a program Sanford has to help people in their homes and get them screened for what they might need to be more independent. We enjoyed the visit with CAPABLE—a person directed, yes a home base program that addresses both function and health care expenses. This is a 4-5 month program that integrates services from an occupational therapy—a registered nurse and a hardworker who work together with the older adult to set goals and direction action plans that change behaviors to improve health independence and policy.
       We closed the show as we started the first hour—with MR.TREE—John Ball who was in Texas on the Texans dime  helping them with the fate of their trees. While he’s there—we make reference to our trees—and yes Mr. Ball talked about those that are in trouble and where we are as we head into October next week. Good stuff and we learned more about the fate of our trees and who’s in trouble and who could be soon.
    We closed the 10:00 show with Iowa State Climatologist Justin Glisin. Justin and Laura Edwards –South Dakota State Climatologist give us so information---and with all our friends that TV Meteorologist ——give us a different look with the numbers they keep and work with the weather professionals and observers.
    No doubt we think they are pretty special---and we know with the change of the season that things will be changing soon. 
    Listen live to our show at 1320, 105.1, 107.9---use the KELO App—Streaming on line or just ask Alexa. Norm Anderson posts the podcast of the show---and I write a blog—that lets the listeners know what was in the show---and a page or so of information for what they might want to listen to.

September 25, 2024 10AM - It's Your Agri Business with Bill Zortman

Blog—September 25, 2024-9-10—Working on Wellness WEDNESDAY-Show 4600
  Yes Show 4,600 in our It’s YOUR Business Series---and we had a few important wrinkles for our audience.
   We started with maybe the BEST EDUCATED Tree Talker in South Dakota. John Ball---Mr. Tree talked to us from Texas---and he issued some warnings for the trees and those that own them and count on them.
   While in Texas—we shared the fact that we have some Emerald Ash Borers that are in danger---and one by one---you need to check. The audio from John Ball gives you some direction---listen to it---as we started this landmark 4,600th show.
   You should look at all your trees---see if they are diseased in anyway---and take action if necessary. If you have questions a John Ball—or tree specialist can talk to you ---about disease—is it spreading---and listen to Mr. Tree for his suggestions of what makes the most sense to plant.
    We talked as well with Dr. Allison Tendler—about October 3rd—@ART Vision for an insightful seminar on cataracts—designed to help you understand the causes, symptoms and latest treatment options for cataracts.
    Dr. Tendler will share her knowledge on how modern cataract surgery and innovative vision-correcting lenses can help you achieve clearer vision. Whether you are exploring treatment options for yourself or a loved one the seminar will provide valuable information to guide you thru the journey to better vision.
    As we talked—do it and you shouldn’t have to do it again—we talked in our interview about making sure you take care of business—take care of your eyes and make darn sure that you can see. You may not have to wonder again if it is needed.
    Dr. Tendler even answered my questions about the glasses---what you need to be doing---and it makes sense to do it before you got off on vacation. If you are going to have an insightful seminar---do it HERE—not somewhere else. 
    Next up---a visit with Dr. Joshua Jorde----we talked about that even though most of the leaves have fallen---there is a definite change—that can threaten you and possible falls. This year isn’t an exception and there are all kinds of stories about the falls that are already happening. Dr. Jorde wants to make sure you are taken care of. He doesn’t want injuries—but if you are having some problem because of a fall----get it taken care of. It might be the upper back or lower back and you could be coughing or sneezing—and if that is too hard –you have just added to the list. 
    Suggestions are that to avoid the cold and flu in general—vitamins and minerals can be added to your preventive plan.
    Vitamin D—is a major player in the immune system and is often overlooked. Don’t forget Vitamin C and of course the zinc and iron and yes Vitamin E. 
    DR. Jordee also reports that if you are having physical aches and pains—it is usually better to get an adjustment before something happens. When working in the garden—even in the fall---it is important to work out and stretch, take breaks to stay limber. 
    Dr. Jordee and his companion chiropractors can make the cold winter months more tolerable—but you have to make sure you are taking care of business as well.
    Mary Michaels—AARP joined us---we talked about Fall Prevention Awareness—more than 25% of adults age 65 and older fall each year. It is important to understand the risk factors contributing to falls and preventing them—but also to not be so fearful of falling that it actually causes us to stop moving. 
    Make sure you work on your own health---building muscle strength with resistance training—as well as working on balance thru things like yoga or tai chi.
    Take care of your vision and hearing have regular checkups because clouded vision or impaired hearing can contribute to falls. 
     We closed the show with another look at the October 3rd event---and how Dr. Tendler can make a major difference.
     Listen live to the show at 1320, 105.1, 107.9—use the KELO App—Streaming on line or just ask Alexa.
     Norm Anderson will share the show as a blog-podcast for September 25, 2024—9-10---use these notes as a guide to what is in the show and where to find it.
     Questions for me—feel free-to call/text at 605-728-2455 (BILL) or email me at bill.zortman@mwcradio.com.
