Covered in the lesson were the meaning of agriculture, the importance of agriculture, and the many businesses directly related to agriculture. The life cycle of a beef ani- mal and the fact that 99 per- cent of that animal is usable was also discussed. They learned that a 1,000 pound steer produces approximately 640 pounds of edible meat. The other 33-34 percent can be used in by-products such as leather, gelatin, medicines, glue, ink, lubricants, balms, etc. Also covered was that beef is healthy for a person, provid- ing protein, iron and zinc, all nutrients needed in our daily diet. A pop quiz ended the lesson with high scores showing that students had paid close atten- tion and were very knowl- edgeable about agriculture. A packet containing information on beef, a bracelet, pencil and beef stick was presented to each student to take home and share with their family.

Wheat Midge monitoring continues in 2016 The statewide Montana Wheat Midge Monitoring Project will be in full force again this June and July. Twenty-eight MSU Extension Agents, six MSU Ag Research Centers, growers, and consult- ants will place monitoring traps in spring wheat and durum fields this June to mon- itor for Wheat Midge. Orange Wheat Blossom Midge are now being called Wheat Midge to correspond with ter- minology used by the Ento- mological Society of America.

Wheat Midge traps are com- prised of a plastic trap, a sticky liner, and a pheromone lure that will attract the male Wheat Midge. Researchers monitor where the midge pop- ulations are present in the state and determine if they are spreading to counties not cur- rently known to have the pest. Growers also use traps to check for the level of midge presence in order to determine if fields need to be scouted. Producers use infield scouting techniques to determine if an insecticide application is war- ranted. Wheat Midge counts are re- ported on the Montana Pest - Let l'out- l'IELDS Grow, Not Your NYEEDS!

Growers can access this free site at: http://pestweb.montana.edu and view trap count data from 2014, 2015 and daily reports from cooperators this year. Wheat Midge may cause heavy losses in fields when they are present at economic levels and the crop is in a vul- nerable stage. More informa- tion on Wheat Midge, management strategies, and current trap counts can be found at the Pestweb site men- tioned. Growers can also con- tact their local MSU Extension Agent for more in- formation. The Montana Wheat Midge Monitoring Project is headed up by Brooke Bohannon and Dr. Bob Stougaard, North- western Ag Research Center near Kalispell and Dan Picard and Dr. Gadi V. P. Reddy at Western Ag Research Center near Conrad. The Montana Wheat and Barley Committee provides funding for the mon- itoring project. Fallon and Carter County Extension is partnering with Darrin Pluhar of Plu's Flying Service to place traps through Fallon and Carter Counties. In 2015, there was a very small population of Orange Wheat Blossom Midge in the area, far from the economic threshold, but monitoring will continut. this year.
