We continue to patiently wait for the tax credit to return on Bio Diesel. The larger our government becomes the slower the process….it was a slow grind before the last 55,000 people were hired for government service…now it is at a complete stop.

Our thought and prayers go out this week to :

Our service men and women, serving bravely in foreign lands…Thank You.

The families, the fishermen and all the clean up works working our beloved Gulf of Mexico coast line…we wish you strength, offer our thanks and know that you are doing all you can to preserve a great piece of American life.

Happy Memorial Day…..

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service

Memorial Day was officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, in his General Order No. 11, and was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The first state to officially recognize the holiday was New York in 1873. By 1890 it was recognized by all of the northern states. The South refused to acknowledge the day, honoring their dead on separate days until after World War I (when the holiday changed from honoring just those who died fighting in the Civil War to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war). It is now celebrated in almost every State on the last Monday in May (passed by Congress with the National Holiday Act of 1971 (P.L. 90 – 363) to ensure a three day weekend for Federal holidays), though several southern states have an additional separate day for honoring the Confederate war dead: January 19 in Texas, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; May 10 in South Carolina; and June 3 (Jefferson Davis’ birthday) in Louisiana and Tennessee.

Traditional observance of Memorial day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions of Memorial Day. At many cemeteries, the graves of the fallen are increasingly ignored, neglected. Most people no longer remember the proper flag etiquette for the day. While there are towns and cities that still hold Memorial Day parades, many have not held a parade in decades. Some people think the day is for honoring any and all dead, and not just those fallen in service to our country.

There are a few notable exceptions. Since the late 50′s on the Thursday before Memorial Day, the 1,200 soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. They then patrol 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing. In 1951, the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of St. Louis began placing flags on the 150,000 graves at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery as an annual Good Turn, a practice that continues to this day. More recently, beginning in 1998, on the Saturday before the observed day for Memorial Day, the Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts place a candle at each of approximately 15,300 grave sites of soldiers buried at Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park on Marye’s Heights (the Luminaria Program). And in 2004, Washington D.C. held its first Memorial Day parade in over 60 years.

To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the “National Moment of Remembrance” resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.”

The Moment of Remembrance is a step in the right direction to returning the meaning back to the day. What is needed is a full return to the original day of observance. Set aside one day out of the year for the nation to get together to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their all in service to their country.

From the May 2010 Issue

ASA: farmers, call legislators about biodiesel

Posted April 27, 2010

It’s time to plant soybeans and corn across much of the United States, and the American Soybean Association is encouraging farmers to pick up their cells phones and make calls next week, April 26-30, from their tractor cab to promote passage of a retroactive extension of the vital biodiesel tax credit.

“Call your senators and representative and ask them to contact their respective leadership to stress that the biodiesel tax incentive extension must be enacted before the Memorial Day recess,” said ASA President Rob Joslin, a soybean producer from Sidney, Ohio. “We realize that at this time of year many soybean farmers are spending long hours in their tractor cab planting crops, and this is a perfect opportunity to stop and take a few minutes at the end of a field to call your elected representatives in Washington about the urgent need to extend the biodiesel tax incentive.”

All soybean farmers are urged to participate in ASA’s CAB Campaign: Call About Biodiesel. Contact the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak with your senators’ and representative’s offices.

The biodiesel tax incentive expired on Dec. 31, 2009. Since then, biodiesel production and consumption has dramatically declined, biodiesel production facilities have closed, thousands of biodiesel industry workers have lost their jobs, and surplus soybean oil stocks continue to increase as a result of lower demand.

“It now has been over 112 days since Congress allowed the biodiesel tax credit to lapse,” Joslin emphasized. “We need soybean farmers to send a strong message to Congress that the biodiesel tax credit needs to be extended before the Memorial Day recess.”

The U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 4213, the Tax Extenders Act of 2009, in December 2009, and the Senate passed its version of H.R. 4213, the American Workers, State and Business Relief Act in early March 2010. Both versions of the bill include retroactive extension of the vital biodiesel tax credit through Dec. 31, 2010. The House and Senate must now reconcile the differences between the two versions of the bill approved by the respective chambers.

Helpful Points:

Farmers should personalize and explain the impact the credit expiration is having on you, your business, and your state:

• Biodiesel production has stopped and green jobs are being lost.
• The resulting negative impact on state and local economic development.
• The detrimental effect expiration of the credit is having on your bottom line (estimated impact of 25 cents per bushel).
• From a nationwide standpoint, green job creation, energy security and environmental benefits associated with domestic biodiesel production is being lost.
• Biodiesel reduces our dependence on foreign oil.
• The biodiesel industry creates green jobs and makes a positive contribution to the economy.
• Biodiesel is good for the environment.

“Please take a few minutes next week to make three phone calls,” Joslin added. “Your two senators and your representative need to know that you care about this issue and how it impacts our economy and your profitability.”

ASA represents all U.S. soybean farmers on domestic and international issues of importance to the soybean industry. ASA’s advocacy efforts are made possible through the voluntary membership in ASA by over 22,500 farmers in 31 states where soybeans are grown.
