HISTORIC ST. JOHNS EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO
REOPEN IN JUNE
Historic (1831) St. Johns Episcopal
Church will reopen in June as a summer
chapel with Service of Evening Prayer.
Three services are planned which will be
led by local Episcopal clergy
and the rich notes of the original 1860s
William Nutting hand-pumped organ will
accompany hymns. Light refreshments will
be available after worship in the garden,
weather permitting.
The fourth annual Welsh service in honor
of the Vermont / New York regions rich
Welsh heritage will be held on Saturday,
June 10th at 4:00 p.m. The service is
spoken in the English language. Scripture
readings, spoken in the Welsh language,
will be given by Nia Davies Demiray who
is native of Aberystwyth, Wales, a member
of Poultney Area St. Davids Society.
James Cassarino, Director of Welsh Heritage and professor of Music studies at Green
Mountain College will provide organ music for this service. All are welcome. These
summer services are a rare opportunity offered to worshippers, historians, musicians
and lovers of early Vermont.
A group of residents have been planning for the yearly summer reopening of very
special St. Johns Church on Route 140 in East Poultney. Untouched and unchanged
St. Johns is one of the two churches from the early 1800s surviving in this village. It is
located across from the village green, which is dominated by the stately United Baptist
Church.
St. Johns is a fine example of classic New England Carpenter Gothic. It retains its
gated pews, kerosene lamps, stenciled walls and a rare, hand pumped organ made by
Vermonter, William Nutting, which dates from the 1860s. The cornerstone of St. Johns
was laid May 27, 1831. The
first services were held a year later, May 27, 1832. The first Episcopal Bishop of Vermont,
the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hopkins, presided at the consecration of the building.
For further information, please call The Reverend William A. Davidson (518- 499-
1850), Chair, or Ida Mae Johnson (802-287-9744) of St. Johns Executive Committee.

came to Second Chance when her owners had to
relocate. She is around 10 years old and needs is
on medication for a hyper thyroid condition. Sissy
is declawed in the front so she needs to be an
inside only cat. She gets along great with other
cats and has lived with them in the past. Sissy is a
very affectionate cat and would make a wonderful
friend to keep you company. She and all of our
black or black and white cats is fee waived this
month.
Julio came to Second Chance after his owner had to
move away and wasnt able to bring him. He is a
very handsome tuxedo cat that loves to get attention
and lay on your lap. Julio would do best as the only
pet in the house and would prefer to stay inside. He
would do best in a quieter home; he enjoys relaxing
and looking out the window in his spare time. If youre
looking for a couch potato to hang out with then Julio
is your guy!
Andy is a one year old American Shelter Dog. This
friendly, excited, and active dog was brought to
Second Chance from another shelter that found him
as a stray. Andy would be best in an active home
that understands his need to run and play. He can
possibly go to a home with energetic children to
keep him busy, but he must be the only pet in a
home. If Andy sounds like he could be your next
family member stop by the shelter to meet him.

RENTAL DECISION MAKING TIME: How to decide if ground is reducing your profitability. As
@ eccdb@verizon.net you look at your rented-land portfolio, consider whether a certain parcel could be pushing
your operation into the red. Are you paying more in cash rent than you expect to earn back
in profits?
The decision to drop a parcel is multi-dimensional, says Mykel Taylor, ag economist at
Kansas State University. Farm profitability is
projected to be weak for several more years, so This Weeks sponsor:
Taylor says farmers need to create a framework
to analyze each piece of ground they rent. CAPITAL TRACTOR, INC.
Use it as an opportunity to improve your 1135 STATE RT. 29
business future, suggests Mark Gannon, owner GREENWICH, NEW YORK, 12834
of Gannon Real Estate & Consulting in Ames,
Iowa. You want to get rid of marginal farms to (518) 692-9611 FAX - (518) 692-2210
be ready for the right one that comes along,
Gannon says. Think about it like a cattle
producer. They should be culling out the bottom
10% every year, as long as you can grow and
replace. Think about your farmland the same way.
What costs are associated with the rented ground? Tabulate expenses and production
history for every rented parcel. The longer you have been farming it the better, because you
have better data, Taylor says.
Variable costs such as fertilizer, chemicals, seed, fuel and labor can be avoided if you dont
farm a parcel. The trade-off is fixed costs such as depreciation on machinery will be spread
over fewer acres. To decide whether you should continue renting a farm, these experts
recommend answering several questions (see below).
4 Questions to Ask
1. How long do you expect to rent a piece of ground? It can take four or five years to build
up productivity, says Mark Gannon, owner of Gannon Real Estate & Consulting. Take into
account what the projected longevity is of renting the piece of land. If the owners are fickle
or they wont own it for very long, you wont have time to build up the soil.
2. Can you negotiate a less expensive rent? Arriving at a lower rent is difficult, admits Mykel
Taylor, ag economist at Kansas State University. Landowners may drop a tenant rather than
take a lower rate, Taylor says. Because most leases in Kansas average three to five years, she
suggests switching to a single-year rental rate to allow for adjustment up as soon as profits
improve. You can also suggest a flex lease or crop share to share risk. The key for these
negotiations is to do your homework. Renters should do a five-year average of their farm
income and expenses before meeting with the landlord, adds Joe Koenen, agriculture
business specialist with University of Missouri Extension. Do not pressure your landlord to
accept an unrealistic lower rate, Koenen says. Instead, remind landowners you are a good
steward of their land. Offer something of value to offset the feeling they are losing. You can
offer services such as plowing snow on landowners roads, marketing timber on their
property or fixing fences.
3. What are the pros and cons of a piece of rented ground? How close is a farm to the others
in your portfolio? Does it cause logistical headaches? How do its yields compare to other
farms? You should also account for the relationship between you and your landlord that
could be damaged if you decide not to rent a farm, Taylor says, especially if you are related
to the landlord.
4. Will you be able to replace the rented land in the future? During the past few years,
Gannon has seen farmland lease renewals in his region be delayed compared to previous
years. As farmers retire or cant meet financial obligations, landlords are seeking new
tenants, sometimes even in the spring. Land will become available, he says. Farmers need
to build their reputation as being professional operations that treat people well and are
open about their communication. That word will get around, and landlords will come
looking for you.
