“Yes, I’d like to ride with you.”He told her on the phone,“We’d save a bunch on gasoline,No need to go alone.” “We’re hired for the weekendWe’ll go and entertainI’ll meet you at the coffee shopI tell you,… thanks again.” It’s Friday now at 8 a.m.Here’s the busy dinerHe loads his gear into her rigCould anything be finer?

They chat away the many miles(It’s kilometers up there)Their destination, it is reachedIt was quite a trip to share.

Then they parted companyEach to their own concernOn Monday, they met up againHome, they did return.

They terminate the journeyIt’s right where it beganShe slides out of the driver’s seatShe opens up the van.

He transfers bags into his truckHe extracts his old guitarTwo meters to the restaurant door,That isn’t very far.

His cronies had a window seat,A view right from the glass,They observe their buddyWho is this unknown lass?

Her cheeks turned flush and she was shockedHis buddies seen it clearHe walked into the restaurantHis cronies gawk and leer.

For she’d reached out to shake his hand,It was the proper place,He pulled her right up next to him….It was a steamy warm embrace.

Money Talks

GIFT GIVINGAny good estate planner will tell you that there’s no time like the present to consider a program of gifts to

loved ones as part of an over all estate plan.Before embarking on a program of gift giving, it pays to know some of thebasic rules of federal gift taxation.A few states also have gift taxes, but we’re going to ignore state gift tax implicationsfor the purpose of this article. One of the most important and basic gift tax strategies is to make gifts that take advantage of the“annual exclusion” amount.Gift tax rules permit the donor of a gift to give up to $13,000 (in cash, property or somecombination of the two) to as many people as the donor wishes.There is no requirement that the donee of the gift berelated in any way to the donor.If you have $13,000,000 and 1,000 close friends you can give each of them $13,000completely free of gift taxes. Notice the rule applies to gifts of both cash and/or property.If Mom gives each of her three kids $13,000in cash and then gives each of them Christmas and birthday presents worth $1,000, she has made a taxable gift (moreon taxable gifts later) of $1,000 per child.Many experienced estate planners recommend that donors make regulargifts of $12,000 to $12,500 to allow the donor to continue to make their regular special occasion gifts without having toworry about gift tax implications. Finally, husbands and wives can join together to give $26,000 per year per donee. In order to qualify for the $13,000 annual exclusion, the donor must give a gift of a “present interest.”That means the donee must have at least some rights to use the gift today.That right may include the right to receiveincome from a trust. A gift into a Uniform Gifts (or Transfers) to Minors Act account qualifies as a gift of a present interest. So do gifts into special trusts for minors provided they terminate when the child turns 21. Two other gift tax exclusions are available. If the donor pays directly either the tuition or medicalexpenses of the donee, there is an unlimited exclusion for the gift.The tuition payment must go directly to the schooland the donee may be either a full or part-time student.The exclusion is not available for expenses other than tuition.The medical expenses must be paid directly to the health care provider, not reimbursed to the donee.To qualify, themedical expense must be deductible for income tax purposes regardless of the percentage of income limitations.Note, there is no requirement of any family relationship between the donor and donee for either the tuition or medicalexpense exclusion. If the gift exceeds the $13,000 per year, per donee, limit or does not qualify for either of the unlimitedtuition or medical expense exclusions, the donor has made a taxable gift.Taxable gifts, in effect, “use up” some or allof the lifetime transfer exemption equivalent ($1 million for 2010) applicable to the gift taxes.If taxable gifts over one’slifetime exceed this amount then the donor must actually write a check (rather than use up the exemption equivalent)to pay the gift taxes. One basic strategy involves developing a habit of making annual gifts of $13,000 ($26,000 for a marriedcouple) to each individual the donor(s) would like to benefit. The annual gift tax exclusion is too good a deal to pass up.If you miss a year, you will not be able to make it up in the future.Use it or lose it is the motto here, so use it ifyou have the opportunity. While donors may give anything they like to their donees, it is generally best to give something that willgrow in value between the date of gift and mortality.Although not guaranteed, given a long enough time horizon,virtually any investment could show a positive return.However, the only item that is positively going to go up betweenthe date of gift and the date of death is life insurance (or the cash used to pay premiums on life insurance).That’s oneof the reasons (liquidity is another) to look at life insurance as an ideal gift giving vehicle. However, even if the donor is uninsurable, making annual gifts still makes sense.Let’s say the donorshave four children and six grandchildren to whom they would like to make gifts.Further assume that the donors havea $4 million dollar estate.The donors can join together to give gifts totaling $260,000 each year ((2 x $13,000) x (4 +6)).If the kids and grandkids can be persuaded to invest rather than spend their gifts (use a trust if other persuasivetechniques won’t work) and they earn an 8% hypothetical return, after 10 years the donors will have transferred wealthworth over $3.4 million without any negative estate or gift tax implications.(This is a hypothetical example and is notindicative of any security’s performance. Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or a loss.) Rather than cash, some donors should consider giving away an asset with growth potential, for example,common stocks.For capital gain purposes, the basis of the donor in the stock will become the basis of the donee.Ifthe donor has a very low basis, he/she is sometimes loath to make a gift of the asset because the donee might haveto pay a capital gains tax.They think it makes more sense to hold onto the stock and receive the “step up” in basis atdeath. These donors should keep two things in mind.First, the capital gains tax is a voluntary tax-- you onlypay it when you sell an appreciated asset.The estate tax is involuntary--it’s due 9 months after death essentiallyno matter what.Second, the maximum long term capital gains tax rates (ignoring the possible implications of thoseimponderable phase-outs of personal exemptions and itemized deductions) is 15%.The lowest estate tax bracket iseffectively 45%. The capital gains tax rate applies only to the gain. The estate tax rate applies to the entire asset. Should everyone be making annual gifts?No, for some there are compelling reasons not to.Potentialdonors who need everything they have to maintain their lifestyles are not very good potential candidates.Neither arethose who will not have a taxable estate (i.e. their net worth is less than $3,500,000 for 2009).Often the foregoing willdescribe the same people.However, those with excess assets and a taxable estate are prime candidates to considerimplementing a disciplined, systematic gift giving program. Of course, this brief article is no substitute for a careful consideration of all of the advantages anddisadvantages of this matter in light of your unique personal circumstances. Before implementing any significant tax or financial planning strategy, contact your financial planner, attorney or tax advisor as appropriate.

This was the theme of the Beef Producer Meeting held atCleveland Aug 31. Eighty plus producers were present to hear apresentation given by Dr. Gary Sides sponsored by Pfizer AnimalHealth. I concur with his message about technology. Studieson implanting calves prove that the hormone increase is minimaland condusive to human consumption. Springtime deworming(injectable preferred for internal parasites) makes sense, then pourin the fall.Cows need to be on mineral all year long however mineralis not all created the same.Any mineral with copper oxide or zincoxide is NOT bioavailable to the animal.Copper sulphate and zincsulphate are bioavailable ingredients. Protein supplementation isbeneficial but not all protein sources are equally utilized (ie ureawhen cattle are on forage). In defense of the product we produce we need to promotethe nutritional value of beef to the public.It is an excellent source ofprotein and provides the right kind of cholesterol and nutrition thatwe need.

I am proud to be part of the beef industry.

Better technology = More Pounds of Beef Produced

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT: by Tricia Kimmel

“Folks,thereisnoplanforanationalmonumentinMontana.” That was the emphatic statementmadebyRobertAbbey,DirectoroftheDept.of Interior’s Bureau of Land Management,at a meeting held at the Malta High SchoolGymnasiumonSeptember16th. Abbeycontinued,sayingthatInteriorSecretary Ken Salazar is not making anyrecommendationsforamonument,andstated“Wewillbetransparent,openandcandid.” Many of the approximately 2,000Montanans in attendance didn’t seemconvincedbyMr.Abbey’swords,however. Robert Abbey arrived in Maltaafter the Phillips County Commissionersinvited him to respond to local concernsoveraleakedInteriorpolicydocumenttitled“DISCUSSION PAPER, Bureau of LandManagement,TreasuredLandscapes”marked“Internal Draft—NOT FOR RELEASE”.ThedocumentoutlinesproposednewpoliciesforwhathasbeentermedbytheFedsastheTreasured Landscapes Initiative, involvingapproximately27millionacresofnewfederallandintheNationalLandscapeConservationSystem (NLCS), a system that was initiatedseveralyears agobyBruceBabbitt. A largeportionoftheaffectedlandliesinnortheasternMontana, though other designated areas arehighlightedacrossthenation. MontanacitizensfromacrossthestateturnedoutindrovestohearwhatAbbeyhadtosay.Theatmosphereoutsidetheentranceto the Malta Gymnasium was akin to thatof an athletic event, complete with foodbooths, propaganda and the symbolic greenarmbandsbeingwornbythoseinoppositiontotheproposal;signsandliteratureabounded,hailing a message to the effect of “TreasureState,notTreasuredLandscape”. Early in the agenda, Abbey tookownership of the draft, calling it only “aconceptpaperIwrote”,butsaidheembracestheconceptofmultipleuseonfederal lands.Hefeels,however,thatweshouldbeprovidingspecial management to some of these areas.Onthesametoken,hesays,“It’simportanttohaveadialogue...soyoucanreacttothat”andnoted,“Wehavemoreincommonthanwehavedifferences.” Abbey then opened up the floor forcomment, indicating that he would attemptto address every concern and answer everyquestion at the conclusion of the commentperiodthatevening.

Montanans Speak Out The citizens of Montana, throughselectedrepresentativeschosentospeak,thenrelayed to Mr. Abbey what they thoughtof his “concept paper” and any planned orunplanned National Monument designationinthestate.

The speakers covered nearly everyconcernofthelocalcitizens.ValleyCountyCommissioner Dave Reinhardt notedthat scientists are making great strides inenvironmentally friendly natural resourcedevelopment,andalsothatanyneweconomicactivitybroughtaboutthroughtheTreasuredLandscapesInitiativewillnotreplacethelossof industry already in these areas. PhillipsCounty Commissioner Lesley Robinsonquestionedwhatismeantto“remove[lands]from public domain” as stated in the BLMDiscussion Paper, and followed with herbelief thattheAntiquitiesActof1906needstobereformed.Robinson’sbiggestconcern,however,wasthatthedocument,onpages1,8and9,mentionscoordinationwithFederal,State, and Tribal governments, but doesnot indicate any type of coordination withlocal governments and, more importantly,no mention is made of coordinating withprivate landowners. She believes the firststopshouldalwaysbemadeonthelocallevel.Robinson also voiced concerns over whateffecteliminatingthecurrent“checkerboard”of BLM land ownership would have on taxrevenuesinaffectedcounties.Andregardingspending, others felt that the additionalexpenditures outlined in the draft are notin the best interest of the American public.

Some,likeDanTeeganfromcentralMontanawonderedwhy,iftheBLMmanageslivestockbisonandtheFish,Wildlife&Parkshandleswildlifebison,thisBLMdocumentaddressesanymatterrelatedtowildlifebison.RancherGreg Oxarart of Malta vehemently put hispoint across, saying, “Mr. Abbey, take thismessage back to Washington. The line isdrawn.” Public input continued frombankerstolocalranchersandpoliticians.Butoneofthe most provoking and unsettling speecheswasonedeliveredbyKerryWhiteofGallatinCounty, a 4th generation rancher whochallenged Abbey’s role with several activeenvironmentalgroups,questionedhis“cover-up”spendingbehaviorandoverallethics,andasked,“Whycanwetrustyou?” This issue of trust seemed to be acommon theme among participants, asCarl Salstad insinuated regarding the UpperMissouriBreaksMonument: “It startedasaconcept.Thenamapshowedup.Andnowthere’samonument.” Ranchers Stewardship Alliance(RSA) member Dale Veseth indicated RSAhad asked theBLMrepeatedly tobepartofany conservation plan development. But,he says theorganizationhasyet tohave theopportunity to speak about local objectives,

while a single group, the World WildlifeFederation (WWF) had a strong part indirectingtheinitiative.VesethrequestedthatsamelevelofaccessfortheRSA. Many local level elected leaderswerepresentanddidvoiceheartyoppositiontotheproposal.Rep.WendyWarburtonextolledacommonopinionthatthefederalgovernmenthas enough land already, and expressed thatin a free country Government should fearthepeople,nottheotherwayaround.Inheropinion, “merely brainstorming”, as Abbeyhad indicated the documents are, alwaysprecedesaction.WarburtonbeseechedAbbeyto“doeverythinginyourpowertokillthis.”BlaineCountyCommissionerDonSwensonemphasizedthatthedesignated“monument”areadoesnotneedprotectionfromthepeoplewholivehere.Ifthereischange,heremarked,wehavetherighttohearit.Rep.WayneStahlof Saco warned Abbey that if “this crowdseemsexcited–itisnot.We’reallveryafraidoftheFederalGovernment.” SeveralindividualsvocalizedtheirfearthatAmericanswillseearepeatoftheabuse

of the Antiquities Act as demonstrated byPresident Clinton in his last days in office,withPresidentObamamakingtheNationalMonumentdesignationwiththeswoopofapenonhiswayout. In fact, thedocumentsuggests on pages 3 and 4 that should theinitiative make it unsuccessfully throughthe legislative process, “BLM proposes thatthe Administration . . . consider use of theAntiquities Act to set aside new NationalMonuments...” Abbey responded to the commentsas promised. But he left every questionunanswered. His final comments to thecrowd were, “You may not believe me. Idon’tcare.Formyourownconclusions.”HedidsayhewouldtakethecommentshometoWashington and share them, and reiteratedKenSalazar’sbeliefthatconservationworksbest when built on local efforts. Meetingover.

No Secrets Here? ThishighlevelofdoubtandmistrustoftheFederalgovernmentstemsfromseveralsources. A certain level of distrust seemsto exist even at the congressional level, asevidenced by a letter addressed to Hon.KenSalazar,Secretaryof the Interior,datedFebruary26,2010,signedby16membersofCongress,includingMontana’sRepresentative

DennisRehberg,thatbegins:

“We were distressed to learn froman internal ‘NOT FOR RELEASE’document that deliberations regardingpotential National Monumentdesignationsitesand‘highpriorityland-rationalizationefforts’weretakingplacewithintheDepartmentofInteriorwithoutpublicknowledgeorparticipation.”

The letter goeson to request full disclosureofanyandalldocumentsorcommunicationsrelatedtopreparingtheSecretary’sinitiative. Upon further research, it seemsthe transparency promised by the InteriorDepartment is nothing more than asmokescreen—and the correspondence andrecords that were eventually released provethat the draft is much, much more than a“brainstorming” document, as Abbey calledit. The full version of the draft, as well asthereleasedemails,memos,andotherrecordsthatwere eventually disclosed canbe foundat rehberg.house.gov under WildernessLegislation.Ascanthroughthefileentitled“AntiquitiesActDocuments” reveals averydifferentstorythanthattoldbyRobertAbbeyinMalta.Manyofthedocumentshaveportionsblackedout,andsomestringsofinformationseemtobeflatmissing.Thenotationsbelow,takenfromanemailcomposedbyNateHuntof the office of Fish, Wildlife & Parks tomembersvariousotherfederalorganizationsinvolvedinthediscussionsandmeetingsbeingheld, indicateaseriouscontradictiontothatwhichwaspresentedtothecitizensofMaltathatSeptemberevening:

“FYI,justgotthesesubmissionsforTL’sin northern great plains from WWF. Relates to our discussion yesterday w/USDA.”

The attached documents go on todelineate activities by the American PrairieFoundation and WWF (World WildlifeFederation)innortheastMontanatoenhancethe activities of the Interior. The very lastparagraphofthedocumentthenreads:

The outcome would be a multimillion-acre wildlife complex creating thelargestprairiereserveinNorthAmericaanchored by the Charles M RussellNational Wildlife Refuge to the southand Grasslands National Park inSaskatchewantothenorth.Thiswouldbethelargest,unfragmentedmixed-grassprairie in North America and wouldsupport theecological recoverofbison,the endangered black-footed ferret, andgrassland birds.

Juan the Smuggler

Juan comes up to the Mexican border on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders. A guard stops him and says, “What’s in the bags?”

“Sand,” answered Juan.

The guard says, “We’ll just see about that. Get off the bike.”

The guard takes the bags and rips them apart; he empties them out and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains Juan overnight and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but pure sand in the bags. The guard releases Juan, puts the sand into new bags, lifts them onto the man’s shoulders, and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens. The guard asks, “What have you got?”

“Sand,” says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to Juan, and Juan crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events repeats every day for three years. Then one day, Juan doesn’t show up. The guard meets up with him in a cantina in Mexico.

“Hey, buddy,” the guard says, “I know you’re smuggling something. It’s driving me crazy. It’s all I think about. I can’t sleep. Just between you and me, what are you smuggling?”

“Bicycles,” Juan says.

Ramblings of a Conservative Cow Doctor

by Krayton Kerns, DVM, State Rep. HD 58

We hope you enjoy reading this neWest feature in Tricia’s Trader. you may agree, you may disagree

With dr. Kerns’ ramblings, but you Will alWays have something

to discuss over dinner.

Liberty Over the years, I have attacked the progressive movement as a political ideology which will destroy our American republic. Our salvation is liberty. Let me explain the difference. The term “progressive” is the greatest political word ever coined because it sounds so ad-vanced and enlightened; things which it truly is not. The 19th century Marxist political philoso-phy “from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs” laid the groundwork for progressivism. During the 1960s, Marxist followers euphemistically rallied under the banner of “liberalism.” This term soon lost favor as it consistently conjured the image of long-haired, bearded, hippies driving Volkswagen vans decorated with yellow, plastic, daisies. Something more creative was needed and when the “progressive” moniker was adopted, the political ripple of the early 1900’s became a tsunami. America would never be the same. Progressives derive all their power via two mechanisms: 1) Suffocating regulation of busi-ness and citizens. 2) Redistribution of massive amounts of tax payer money. Let me address each specifically. Number one: For decades we Americans have been taught to be incompetent. We must let the government decide what kinds of light bulbs we buy, the type of electricity we must use, when and where we can use our cell phones, the flush volume of our toilets, and our consumption of salt, trans-fats and Happy Meals. Once Americans have surrendered their self-reliance, they reflexively, albeit helplessly, collapse on the government as their savior. Think back to the news clips of the help-less Katrina victims wandering the flooded streets of New Orleans; ruling class progressives love to see their subjects begging for government salvation. Who needs God, guns and guts when you have government and it is not a coincidence progressives are regulating all three into extinction. Number two: No single gift from the producers will ever perpetually satisfy the non-produc-ers. Progressives must continuously create new giveaways which are instituted only after sufficient media softening of the willpower of the masses. We simple-minded commoners must be prepped to believe the new item is something we not only are entitled to, but the only reason we don’t have it now is because we have been cheated by a rich guy who does have it. Under the guise of being fair, we are urged to get off the couch and help ourselves to the bounty produced by the sweat of others. In the last few years we have seen Medicare prescription drug plans, cash for clunkers, cash for Kelvina-tors, extended unemployment benefits, nationalization of student loans, and universal health care, all sold to us as things we are entitled to. There is a freebie around every corner. Just like the progressive crown jewel of Obamacare, with Marxism there is no freedom. There will be no opting out; all citizens will accept the will of the ruling class implemented “down the barrel of a gun,” to quote Chairman Mao. Does that quote not grab you by the throat? It should. Constitutional conservatism, on the other hand, is founded entirely upon freedom. Opt in or opt out, your lot in life is entirely dependent on your abilities, effort and willingness to accept risk. There will be winners and losers and it is the free-market, not government, which decides the outcome. We must return to the founding principle which made America the greatest nation in world history; liberty!

FROM THE MARKETING TOOLBOX:by Tricia Kimmel

Whose Job Is It? As obvious as it may seem, business owners often forget thatit is not the job of their customer to remember a particular businessexists.And, sad as it may be, many customers who’ve done businesswith you before can simply fade away into the great unknown.Whathappens to them?

There are several reasons why people don’t continue to dobusiness with you.Maybe . . .

They’ve Moved ~ It’s just impractical or inconvenient to dobusiness with you now.You Did Something Wrong ~ In other words, they had some sortof bad experience with you.They’re Price Shopping ~ Sometimes they’ve found the sameproduct or service for a lower price.They Don’t Need You Anymore ~ Circumstances have changed,or you’ve solved their great problem or need.

But the BIGGEST reason?

They forget you.Out of sight, out of mind.

If you think about it, why else do businesses grapple to findthat prime main street location?When customers drive by regularly,they tend to not forget about you as easily.Not everyone has a greatLOCATION, however.In fact, many businesses today have virtualstorefronts, or they provide a traveling service.So, business ownershave their work cut out for them.What can you do, as a businessowner, to pull those lost customers back in?

You may want to begin“sequencing” your marketing messages.Stop for a moment to consider this:most people are procrastinators andthey’re busy.On top of that, they’re notalways willing to trust someone afterjust a handshake.So, why would youever expect them to call you after seeing your advertisement or mailingjust one time?This goes for your lost customers as well.

Sequencing is similar to starting a conversation with yourcustomers.Start with an introduction and a greeting.“Here we are,and we’re going to tell you something important.”In your next seriesof marketing, pique their curiosity a bit, and recapture their interest.They will begin to connect the dots, and your message will start tobecome more concrete, with customers even anticipating what the nextad or mailer might say.Of course, by the time you get to the third orfourth message, you are revealing an extraordinary offer, and by now,your “lost customer” is paying attention.A step-by-step campaign canbreak down some tough barriers and keep you front-of-mind.Lostcustomers just need to be reminded you’re there in a way that doesn’tjust say, “Remember us?”

An example of such a sequencing campaign might be this ifyou are, maybe, a restaurant owner.A little legwork will be required,but you can expect measurable results.For this example, we’ll assumeyou’re doing a sequential mailing.

“Your Anniversary is coming! We want to congratulate you! From your favorite restaurant down on Y Street.” This letter will be senta week or two prior to your customer’s actual anniversary.“Happy Anniversary! We’d like to invite you and your spouse to join us at our downtown location for a romantic meal for two. Dinner is on us!” Plan for this to arrive about two or threedays ahead of their actual anniversary.Be sure to include all thenecessary details of your offer, as well as essentials like testimonialsand personalization.“We missed you! This is your last chance to get your free Anniversary Dinner worth $__.00. Offer expires ______.” Thiswould be sent only if they haven’t taken advantage of the freedinner in your second message.

Do you think this couple will remember you next time theywant to go out to eat?You bet they will!And they’ll probably tellabout 14 other people they know, as well.
