McCauley In modern agriculture, there is much we can con- trol, but two dynamics re- main beyond our reach: weather and markets. The unpredictability o both, and sudden changes in ei- ther, can disrupt any am- ily arming operation. Kentucky dairy produc- ers know these dynamics rsthand. The 2014 Farm Bill provides a saety net, in the orm o the new Margin Protection Program (MPP) or dairy, so that when un- oreseen swings in markets occur, dairy producers are better protected and amily businesses remain strong. The Margin Protection Program or dairy, which replaces the Milk Income Loss Contract program, was created by the Farm Bill to shield against when the margin — the dier- ence between the price o milk and eed costs — alls below the levels o coverage selected by participating dairy producers. However, this saety net is not automatic. You must visit your Farm Service Agency oce to enroll be- ore Dec. 5 to lock in these protections through 2018. For just $100 you can cover USDA Urges Dairy Producers to Choose Protections by Dec. 5 90 percent o your produc- tion at $4 margin swings and with aordable incre- mental premiums, you can cover $8 margin swings. In act, i you enroll this year, you will even receive a slight increase in produc- tion protection that won’t be available in the uture. It’s a small step to take to ensure your business is covered. I you’re not sure how the Margin Protection Pro- gram works or what it will mean or your operation, USDA’s online resource can help. Go to www.sa.usda. gov/mpptool, type in your specic operation data and explore price projections and market scenarios to de- termine what level o cov- erage is best or you. (You can also compare the data to see how the program would have helped in pre- vious years like 2008 when margins dropped rom $8 to $3 in just three months.) The online resource is on a secure website that can be accessed rom your com- puter, mobile phone or tab- let, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You also have a chance to share your comments and help shape the Margin Protection Program or the uture. According to statis- tics, more than 90 percent o dairy arms are amily- owned and operated, oten by multiple generations. USDA is committed to sup- porting amily armers and creating strong opportuni- ties or the next generation o dairy armers. But we need to hear rom you about best to make the Margin Protection Program work or arming amilies.

Although en- rollment in the Margin Protection Program ends Dec. 5, 2014, comments will still be accepted until Dec. 15, 2014. Don’t wait to enroll - - act today. Today’s market conditions are strong, but as previous years have shown, markets can turn on a dime, costing you so much more i you don’t have a saety net to protect you. Note: John W.

This past Saturday was such a warmly, loving day. In the aternoon, I ate at my cousin Jim Murley’s and watched his beau- tiul granddaughters, Anne-Kelly and Sweet Cora Rose (that’s what she calls hersel), pull out gits rom the magi- cal tree in ront o Jim’s house. Jim had hidden treasures inside the knot- hole, just as Boo Radley and Scout did in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and the girls were ecstatic to play this little game. Join- ing the un was their Un- cle Chris and his riend, Kristen. I’ve included a photo or your pleasure as well as a photo o Jim’s wie, Barbara and mother, Arilla, standing behind the Tree o Thanksgiv- ing which the girls and their mom, Rachel, made leaves or. Each person present rst wrote what we were thankul or on a lea and then hung the leaves on the branch o a tree. I have so much to be thankul or, including riendships that are at with love and enjoyment in each other’s presence. It is such that I elt on Saturday evening when the riends and amily o Becky Gilbert and husband, Jack, joined each other at a long table in Jones’ Restaurant. My riend, Becky who once hosted the very best party I ever went to, has been di- agnosed with a pervasive cancer o lungs and liver. She looked lovely though and Jones’ owner, Mi- chael Sams topped o our meal with the git o pies. Becky’s sister and brother- in-law were visiting rom Maryland which made the evening perect. I’m asking you all to pray or Becky and Jack as she continues her lie’s journey under a cloud o cancer and pain. Becky’s smile remains un- aected and she is so much loved, and she knows she has lots to be thankul or and smile about. We’ve all lived long enough to know that our lives can turn upside down in a heartbeat. I extend, to each o you, my blessings and prayers or a sae and Happy Thanksgiving. Keep the aith, Becky, T.J. and all who are combating cancer or any chronic disease that Healthy Minds A Weekly Column All About Mental Wellness Name Your Poison: Aspartame or High Fructose Corn Syrup By Elliott B. Sewell MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC “The mentally ill righten and embarrass us. There- ore, we marginalize the people who most need our acceptance. What mental health needs is more sun- light, more candor, more unashamed conversation.” Name Your Poison: Aspartame or High Fructose Corn Syrup An old slang expression (as dened in The Diction- ary o American Slang, Fourth Edition by Barbara Ann Kiper, PhD. and Robert L. Chapman, Ph.D.) goes “Name your poison”, mean- ing “What would you like to drink?”. It usually reers to an alcoholic beverage, too many o which can be poisonous to body and spirit. There are many toxic (poisonous) substances available in our ood and drink today, many o which aect our mental and physi- cal well-being. How do you like your Mountain Dew (or Pepsi or Coke) or example? I you preer “diet” then you will be ingesting a sub- stance called aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal, Spoon- ul, and Equal Measure) which is widely used as a sugar replacement, even in chewing gum and some medications. It has no calo- ries, but gives the sensation o sweetness. However, aspartame is a poison. Any- thing you eat that has no calories may not be ood. Older research has shown an association between aspartame use and non- Hodgkin[s Lymphoma and leukemia. Other research shows that aspartame does not promote weight loss, but rather weight gain. Chew- ing aspartame sweetened gum increases appetite, according to another study. A recent study involving 60,000 post-menopausal women ollowed or more than 10 years, showed that drinking just two diet sodas per day can dramatically increase early death rom heart disease. This study was presented at the 63rd Annual Scientiic Session o the American College o Cardiology. Many other studies show similar dis- turbing results, but the in- dustry, protecting its billion dollar market, denies any problem. Let us consider drinking the sweetened variety o most soda pop. Unortu- nately, it is no longer sweet- ened with cane sugar, but rather with a manuactured product called high-ructose corn syrup. This is not a “normal” ood that actually exists in nature, and much o it has a residue o poison- ous mercury in it rom the manuacturing process. Sugar in any orm causes obesity and diabetes when consumed in large quanti- ties. It is cheap to produce and so soda pop can be sold in larger size drinks or the same cost to manuacture, and so the consumer is en- couraged to consume more.

It is a major cause o liver damage and aects 70 million people. It causes spikes in the insulin caus- ing metabolic disturbances, increasing appetite, diabe- tes, weight increase, heart disease, cancer, dementia, hot fashes, high triglycer- ides, low good cholesterol (HDL), high blood pressure, high asting blood sugar, increased aging process, mercury poisoning, reduced immune system and a large waist. What can we do? The most dramatic and eective step we could take is to com- pletely eliminate soda pop rom our diet. Sugar is more addictive than cocaine, and taking it causes other addic- tive behavior. Aspartame is a poison. Use your strength and courage to quit.
