Inflation Reduction Act in Action: A Beginning Farmer’s Journey with Conservation

Despite not being raised on a farm, Michael Heine of Clay County, South Dakota, has found his own value in farming. His father farmed until the early 1990s, but Michael did not have the chance to farm with his father.

“Beginning farmers who are kids of existing farmers don’t always know why they [their farming parents] do what they do,” said Michael. And without knowing the why, it can be a struggle to learn the how.

Michael’s farming journey began in fall of 2022 when he rented the family land, and he chose to forgo the fields’ historical tillage and pursue no-till planting with cover crops. Michael is set on farming and teaching his kids the importance of protecting land through conservation management and soil health practices.

When Michael needed help with soil compaction and water erosion, he contacted the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office in Vermillion and began working with District Conservationist Ryan Frickel. “Ryan has a passion for soil health and helping farmers like me,” said Michael.

Working with Ryan, Michael received an  Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) contract funded by the that includes financial assistance for no-till planting and cover cropping. He plans to inter-seed cereal rye into his standing corn for soil health benefits. 

The Inflation Reduction Act provides an additional $19.5 billion for NRCS to deliver financial and technical assistance to producers for climate-smart conservation activities through existing USDA conservation programs.

Last fall, Michael broadcasted cereal rye at the field borders to address compaction and in the areas susceptible to water erosion. “You can see the beginnings of gully erosion from our spring rains, but the soil is stabilized once the water flow reaches Michael’s cereal rye,” says Ryan. Michael no-till planted corn into that standing cereal rye this spring. In addition to their soil erosion benefits and contributions to soil health, no-till and cover crops can reduce carbon dioxide emissions when the soil is disturbed and enhance soil organic carbon.

The demand for NRCS financial assistance for soil health conservation practices has historically far exceeded the available funds. But now many of these applications can be approved due to the additional funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. Over half of this year’s beginning farmer contracts in South Dakota, including Michael’s contract, were able to be funded due to the Inflation Reduction Act funds.

Smashed roast new potatoes with garlic and rosemary.

My children call out for this as soon as they see new potatoes coming in from the garden. For 6:

INGREDIENTS

1 head of garlic

1kg new potatoes

1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

3 tablespoons olive oil

Sea salt and black pepper

Grated pecorino (optional)

Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6 (approx. 392°F.) Put the head of garlic on to a piece of foil and roast in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, until soft.

Meanwhile, scrub the potatoes and put them into a saucepan. Pour over boiling water, add salt and cook them for 15 minutes.

Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Drain the potatoes and crush them roughly. Squeeze out the soft garlic from the cloves and add it to the melted butter with the finely chopped rosemary.

Toss the crushed potatoes in the garlic butter mixture and season well. Drizzle with the olive oil.

Place in an ovenproof dish and roast until golden brown and crisp on the top. Scatter a layer of freshly grated pecorino (if using) over the top before serving.

PARIS (AP) — Welcome aboard, hope you are standing comfortably. For the horses on the U.S. eventing team, the journey to France for the Paris Olympics was — quite literally — a four-legged journey.

Their trek began on a farm in Pennsylvania. They were driven to JFK airport last Wednesday to board an eight-hour flight to Luxembourg. The following afternoon the horses went by lorry to their pre-Olympic base camp in Vittel, located about four hours outside of Paris.

Having rested, shaken off jet lag and done some gentle trotting, they are scheduled to reach the Palace of Versailles for their Olympic check-in on Wednesday. The eventing competition gets underway Saturday with team and individual dressage in the regal gardens of Versailles, once the residence of French royalty where Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette held lavish banquets.

Susan Johns, the team veterinarian, said the horses actually prefer flying.

“To be honest it’s much easier than being in a lorry, there’s much more stability than being driven. Padding, bedding, everything possible was provided in case the take off and landing was abrupt,” Johns explained to The Associated Press during a phone interview. “They don’t really sleep on the flight, they’re standing upright. But they’re good at resting, they have hay nets and are mostly eating.”

Here’s a closer look at how the horses journeyed to France.

Horses need passports

Like humans, horses have passport controls to check that they are the right horse. Paperwork, such as vaccines and blood tests, is also checked for each horse.

The quirky-sounding, horse passenger list for the early hours flight to Luxembourg read as follows: Fedarman B; HSH Blake; Off The Record; Cooley Nutcracker; Diabolo; Commando 3, and QC Diamantaire.

The riders themselves, four-time Olympian Boyd Martin , first-time Olympian Caroline Pamukcu , Will Coleman , traveling reserve Liz Halliday , and Sydney Elliott all arrived separately to Paris.

Horses’ in-flight meals

Once at JFK the horses — four of which will be reserves at the Paris Games — were put onto palates and lifted onto the Boeing 747 plane by forklift.

The horses traveled two a stall with a dividing wall between them, somewhat like an arm rest for horses. Other equipment, including saddles and helmets, were loaded on, along with giant nets of hay and big jugs of water.

The human passengers accompanying them were Johns and senior grooms Hailey Burlock and Stephanie Simpson.

As boarding time approached, one horse was massaged on its lower neck by a groom. Then the horses trotted calmly into their stalls. A thunderstorm delayed the flight by more than two hours, but otherwise the process went smoothly.

“We had a very seasoned group of travelers. The majority of the horses have flown multiple times, they’re kind of pros at it,” Johns said. “I carry a bag in case there’s one (horse) who gets a wound or has a colic episode. But we had no need for it on this fight.”

Horse carryons and tray tables

Johns and the grooms were on the top deck of the 747, and rotated visits to check on the horses on the deck below.

“The captain allowed us two at a time to go down, every hour,” she said. “Horses are located at the very back. The front is mainly cargo.”

Each horse had their own hay net, hung up in their stall.

“Like when have your tray table which comes down, they have their hay net,” the team’s chief of mission Hallye Griffin told the AP. “Each horse has their own tack bag, similar to a carryon bag.”

Hydration is crucial on the flight.

Horses drink around 5 gallons (19 litres) of water from their regularly filled buckets, with apple slices sometimes added to encourage them to drink regularly.

Horses and jet lag

Once the horses landed in Luxembourg, they were checked through customs and driven to Vittel. Inside the lorry transporting them, they were separated by a small divider wall.

Other grooms were already in Vittel and helped unload the horses when they arrived. Some horses like to roll around to get any itches off, while others prefer to stretch their Olympic limbs and are hand-walked by grooms.

Horses also experience jet lag. Their bodies must adjust to sleep and changes to their feeding schedule, so the first couple of days are all about easing them back into a rhythm.

Then the serious business starts.

When they arrive in Versailles on Wednesday, a 20-feet container with mucking out equipment will be ready and one groom will be assigned to each horse on site.

Horses will be tested twice daily for their temperature in Versailles, to make sure there’s no fever that could be spread. Horse passports are verified and vaccination dates checked.

Throughout their Olympic journey, the horses were given treats to keep them in a contented mood — things like carrots, peppermint, or special horse cookies.

The people traveling with the horses enjoyed a few perks, too.

No long queues, stuffy airports or hanging around sweaty departure lounges in summer.

“It’s awesome, it’s actually the preferred way to travel. I don’t have to go to real airports and sit next to real people,” said Simpson, who is the groom for Martin’s two horses and is working at her second Olympics.

“It’s a lot of work, but it’s the ideal job,” Simpson added. “We work outside and get to be surrounded by horses.”
