It's not that I thought I would fail. It did- n't occur to me how quickly one column every day can run up to 2,000. I am proud of my achieve- ment, but not too impressed. I wish I could say that at least once each day I am overcome by waves of wit and wisdom. The truth is, the fear of a daily deadline is my best motivator. I count on intimidation to give me a jumpstart, and the satis- faction that comes from writing to keep me going. I get excited knowing the written word can stir passion in my readers to be better stewards of their resources. This creates a bond of trust between you -- my reader -- and me. It's the feeling of accom- plishment I get each time I press "Send" that charges my batteries. I suppose if this were my 2,000th birthday, you would expect some words of wisdom from me. This is what I would say are the most important things I've learned over these eight years: It all adds up. One column is insignificant in the larger scheme of things. But one column consistent- ly, routinely, turns into 2,000 before you know it. And quite pain- lessly, too. Keep at it. Doing it, even when you don't feel like it, builds confidence that you'll know how to keep doing it even when you don't feel like it. So what advice would I offer to you? It all adds up. Whether saving or spending, a dollar here and five bucks there may not seem like much. But repeat that activity rou- tinely, consistently, and it will turn into $2,000 before you know it. Keep at it. Establish goals, make a plan. And read. Always be working on something. Never keep all of your money, and never spend it all. Let giving to others and saving for the future quiet your insatiable desires and keep your life in proper perspective. Do not focus on what you lack, instead be grate- ful for all that you have. Words alone cannot adequately express my gratitude to Creators Syndicate for inviting me to join its family of columnists. But even more to you my readers -- for where would a columnist be without loyal and long-suffering readers? I thank you for your support and encour- agement. Your collective let- ters with questions, tips and sundry responses have aver- aged more than 100 a day from day one. Do the math, and treat yourself to yet another example of how it all adds up.

Weed control equipment available Landowners and land managers have a new tool available in assisting them control weeds. A new rotary wiper herbicide applicator can be rented through the Tehama County Resource Conservation District. The equipment was purchased by the resource conservation district to assist landowners and land managers with controlling weeds in and around Tehama County. A rotary wiper is a great tool for pastures because the wiper can be set at a height above desir- able grasses so that it only wipes the weeds and does- n’t hurt the pasture. The Rotowiper weed control system is available for rent on a do-it-yourself basis, and is easily pulled behind an ATV or UTV. The rotary wiper has many application possibil- ities and advantages and locally can be used on all of the following: walnuts, prunes, almonds, olives, citrus, pasture, rangeland, vineyards and fields. A rotary wiper is differ- ent from traditional appli- cators and sprayers, including a traditional rope wick. It features a rotating drum, which rotates in the opposite direction of travel, brush- ing herbicide onto stems and the underside of leaves, where the herbi- cide is more readily absorbed. Last summer UC Farm advisors and specialists researched ways to control the invasion of smutgrass that is occurring in Sacra- mento Valley irrigated pastures. Control of 95 percent of mature plants was obtained with the use of a rotary wiper in early July. “It’s a very economical tool, especially consider- ing the cost of spraying a whole pasture and having to re-establish it. It’s great to have another tool that helps to control smut- grass, which is a weed that can devastate pasture pro- duction.
