Schedule of Events By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Kearney - There aren't a lot good things to say about a season of drought in farm country nor are there many positive actions available. However, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack believes the stage is set for ag producers to have frank conversations with consumers about food production in America. "Sometimes tough times are an

opportunity to let people know how difficult agriculture is and how important it is," he said. What isn't needed in tough times is relentless criticism that using corn for ethanol - food versus fuel - is causing a spike in retail food prices and farmers are pocketing big profits from the spike in grain prices. Vilsack took a quick poll Friday at the American Coalition for Ethanol Conference in Omaha. When he asked farmers in the room who had

sold corn for $8 to raise their hands, none went up. When he asked how many already had contracted corn for $5 to $6 per bushel, several hands were raised. National Corn Growers Association Chief Executive Officer Rick Tolman of St. Louis said the misinformation about American agriculture "really irritates us."

Weather Outlook Al Dutcher Report Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Allen Dutcher

Several cold fronts worked through the state during the past two weeks, giving Nebraskan’s periodic relief from the incessant summer heat. Although widely scattered thunderstorms occurred with each one of these frontal passages, precipitation totals were not sufficient to reduce drought levels across the state. The best moisture totals received during this past two weeks occurred along the South Dakota and Kansas border regions. Exceptional drought (D4) conditions were expanded from the central Sandhills southwestward toward the North Platte area and southeastward toward the Grand Island area. Only the southern one and a half counties east of Hebron are depicted as experiencing severe drought (D2), with the remaining areas of the state depicted as experiencing extreme drought (D3). Week One Forecast, 8/18 - 8/24: The general upper air pattern for this period will be to slowly shift a trough over the northern Plains eastward into the Great Lakes region. This will allow the upper air ridge to slowly build into the central Plains as the week progresses. The upper air flow will be out of the northwest during the first half of the forecast, which will allow for several quick moving pieces of energy to work southeast on a nearly daily basis and providing a daily chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms to develop. No widespread coverage is expected out of these weak impulses. Model currently place the best moisture chances over the eastern ½ of the state on 8/18, south

central and southeast Nebraska on 8/19, the western 1/3 of the state on 8/20, and northeast Nebraska on 8/21. Weather models then develop a vigorous low pressure system over western South Dakota on 8/22 and move it east-southeast. Rain and thunderstorms are possible across the northern 1/3 of the state during the second half of 8/22, spreading southward during the overnight hours. Models then move the precipitation south and east of the state by the second half of 8/23.as cooler air works into the northern Plains. Dry conditions are currently projected for 8/24. High Temperatures: 8/18 (upper 60's NE low 80' SW), 8/19 low 70's NE- upper 80's Panhandle), 8/20 (upper 70's NE - low 90's Panhandle), 8/21 (low 80's NE - mid 90's Panhandle), 8/22 (low 90's NE - upper 90's SW and Panhandle), 8/23 (mid 80's NW - mid 90's SE), 8/24 (low 80's NE - mid 80's S). Week Two Forecast, 8/25 - 8/31: Weather models currently indicate that the first half of this forecast period should be precipitation free for the vast majority of the state, before another storm system is developed over western South Dakota on 8/29. The best chances for isolated showers and/or thunderstorms will be across northeast Nebraska on 8/25 and the western ½ of the state on 8/28. Models then take the South Dakota surface low and move in eastward toward the lower Great Lakes region during the 8/29-8/30 time frame. Significant moisture is kept north of the state, with the best chances for precipitation occurring across the Panhandle and eastern ½ of the state on 8/29. During the first half of 8/30, models keep small chances for precipitation across the southern 1/3 of the state before mowing cooler and drier air into the state to finish out this forecast period. High Temperatures: 8/25 (mid 70's E - mid 80's W), 8/26 (upper 70's E - upper 80's Panhandle), 8/27 (low 80's E mid 90's Panhandle), 8/28 (mid 80's NE - upper 90's SW), 8/29 (low 80's N - upper 80's S), 8/30 (mid 70's N mid 80's S), 8/31 (low 70's NE - low 80's S)

Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending August 12, 2012, temperatures moderated; however, with only limited precipitation, crop conditions continued to decline, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Drought damaged corn fields continue to be chopped for silage or baled for hay. A few fields of corn were harvested for grain in some southeastern counties, but progress is limited and not widespread. Irrigation remains active as crop progress advances. Fields are being prepared for seeding of winter wheat in the West. Cattle are being removed from pastures and receiving supplemental feed. Weather Summary: Light rain fell in all districts with amounts averaging less than one third of an inch. A few isolated pockets in the Central and East Central Districts received over one inch of rainfall. Temperatures were 1 degree above normal in the Northwest and Southwest Districts while averaging 2 degrees below normal for the rest of the state. Highs reached triple digits

in many areas and lows were mostly in the low 50’s. Field Crops Report: Corn in the dough stage was 86 percent, compared to 51 last year and 11 days ahead of 58 average. Corn in the dent stage reached 51 percent, ahead of 7 last year and 14 average. Corn that has reached maturity was 6 percent, compared to 0 last year and average. Corn conditions rated 22 percent very poor, 19 poor, 28 fair, 27 good, and 4 excellent, well below 76 percent good to excellent last year and 77 average. Irrigated corn conditions rated 51 percent good to excellent and dryland corn rated 2. Soybeans blooming were 97 percent, ahead of 93 last year but near 96 average. Soybeans setting pods were 83 percent, ahead of 66 last year and 74 average. Soybeans turning color were at 2 percent, compared to 0 last year and average. Soybean conditions rated 21 percent very poor, 25 poor, 36 fair, 17 good, and 1 excellent, well below last Continued on page 20

Living Resourcefully By Susan Hansen, Extension Educator, Colfax County Judging by the questions I’ve been receiving lately, people are busy canning and freezing. Based on these questions, here are some hints for better canning and freezing of food. Use good quality foods when canning or freezing. The quality will not improve. If you can or freeze overripe pears, your end result is overripe pears. If your tomatoes are spoiled when you can them, you’ll still have spoiled tomatoes. Open-kettle canning is not recommended. This method of canning greatly increases the risk of foodborne illness, particularly botulism. You may say to this, “I’ve been openkettle canning for years and I’ve never gotten sick.” My response is that you’ve been very lucky. With botulism, sometimes you only get one chance. The recommended methods of canning are boiling water bath and pressure canning. High acid foods such as fruits, pickles and jellies can be safely canned in a boiling water bath. Low-acid foods such as vegetables and meats need to be pressure canned. Pressure canners reach 240E F compared to boiling water bath which reaches 212E F. Other methods not recommended are canning in the oven, microwave, crockpot, dishwashers or sun. I have had questions regarding some of these methods. Use only jars that have been approved for canning. Jars that contained such things as peanut butter or mayonnaise are not recommended for canning for two reasons. One, the glass may or may not withstand the heat from the home canner. Second, jars that knives have repeatedly come in contact with have a greater tendency of breakage. Think about it. Each time a knife or spoon hits the glass while getting in the mayonnaise jar

actually weakens the jar, sometimes causing a hairline crack. When canning tomatoes, add bottled lemon juice to increase the acidity of the tomatoes to help ensure a safely canned tomato product. The varieties of tomatoes have changed over the years with many being less acidic. The ratio is 1 tablespoon of bottled lemon juice per pint of tomatoes. Properly canned food stored in a cool, dry place will retain optimum eating quality for a year. After that, the product may become mushy and the nutritional benefits begin to decrease. All jams, jellies, pickles, relishes and preserves need to be processed in a boiling water bath unless they will be stored in the refrigerator. Sealing jams and jellies with paraffin is not recommended. Most vegetables need to be blanched before freezing. Blanching is needed to stop the enzyme growth to reduce the deterioration of the food. The variety of cucumber can make a difference with making pickles. Look for pickling cucumbers rather than slicing cucumbers. A slicing cucumber will usually become very soft during the pickling process. Remember to use unwaxed cucumbers when making pickles. The brine cannot penetrate wax. Color changes occur on some foods in certain situations. Garlic can turn green in pickles because of the reaction between the acid in the vinegar and the color pigment in the garlic. Using overmature dill can cause liquid in dill pickles to turn pink. Beets may turn black if there is a high iron content in the water. Old beets may turn white during the canning process. Corn turns brown during processing because of the carmelization of the sugar in corn. If properly canned, all of the above are safe to eat.

NEBRASKAN’S BENEFIT FROM 8 FOOT PIG CANSTRUCTION Continued from page 1 cities around the world. Canstruction's mission is to provide hunger relief assistance by collecting canned food for local food banks while spotlighting the design/build industry. Food Insecurity is defined as not always knowing where the household will find its next meal. Food insecure households are not necessarily food insecure all the time. Food insecure may reflect a household’s need to make tradeoffs between important basic needs, such as housing or medical bills and purchasing nutritionally adequate foods. The

even more alarming fact is that most of these individuals are children. Approximately 20 percent of children in Nebraska under the age of 18 are at-risk for hunger. All 93 counties in Nebraska have food insure children. Shane Meyer, President for the Nebraska Pork Producers Association stated that, “with the food can construction project; we want to show the impact that hunger has in communities across Nebraska and to inspire the public to join us in finding solutions to this solvable problem.”

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Forbidden Foods by Lee Pitts

Did you hear that the Mayor of New York has proposed a ban on sodas larger than 16 ounces? For the health of his constituents he doesn’t want them drinking any more 32 ounce sodas, but how dumb does he think the people are who elected him? Given enough time, even New Yorkers should be able to figure out that if they want 32 ounces of sugary soda all they have to do is buy two 16 ounce drinks. Duh! In California they have banned fatty goose and duck liver on the grounds the poultry were force fed. I wish they’d have thought of that 50 years ago so I wouldn’t have had to eat the liver my mom force fed me. It tasted like garden snail, marinated in cod liver oil and held together with library paste, all nonfood items I tasted as a young child. I go on record as being wholly in support of a ban on all liver. Yuck! Massachusetts banned junk food on school days and Indiana has mandated that half of all items sold in vending machines at schools be healthy foods. I know American school kids aren’t doing well on tests but, again, just how dumb do they think they are? It won’t be long before second grade sugar junkies are peddling M and M’s out of their backpacks at highly inflated street prices. (That’s what I’d have done.) If they insist on putting carrot sticks and broccoli in vending machines they shouldn’t expect the kids to spend their folk’s hard-earned money on them. Mark

my words, there’s gonna be a whole bunch of produce and carrot juice rotting in vending machines. Rare burgers have been outlawed in California and North Carolina so can a burger bun ban be far behind? The sale of raw milk has become a real hot issue and 20 states have outlawed unpasteurized milk because it can make people sick, but I think we’ve just become a nation of softies. I’ve never read of a single pioneer who died from drinking raw milk. I suppose it won’t be long before states try to outlaw ice cream and milk shakes but if you think that ban will work you must be on medical marijuana. Speaking of which, the day is probably not too far off that if you want to consume dairy products you’ll have to carry a “medical milk” card. In the Wall Street Journal they mentioned that some states are banning high alcohol content beer and a liquor named Absinthe, which I, and most Americans I presume, have never heard of. Now that it’s banned I’m sure everyone will be drinking it. I suppose it might be different if they’d have outlawed foods I always hated, like the watery liquid that comes out of a ketchup bottle first and ruins your French fries. I also wouldn’t mind a ban on creamed tuna on toast, cucumbers, red cabbage, carp, peas, asparagus, arugula, marzipan, lima beans, sheep innards, beets

and eggs. Especially eggs. More specifically hard boiled ones. To this day just the smell of one makes me sick. (So guess what my wife loves to eat?) I was what my mother called a “picky eater” and since my older brother liked corned beef and cabbage I had to eat it too, but I’ve always thought that corned beef is a waste of a good cow. I was sure glad when he left home. My Grandma, bless her heart, always tried to feed me Fig Newtons which is the only cookie I’ve ever disliked. Seriously, I have a real problem with these food bans. In America, the land of the free, you’re telling me that the government is going to now tell us what food we can and cannot eat? Where does it end? Will people one day have to be 18 or older to order a fast food burger or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Here’s an idea: instead, why don’t they ban all the chemical spices in our food and leave our beef and milk alone? They can ban all the liver they want but when the food police come after my beef, chili beans, root beer, wheat toast, Mexican food and potatoes in all forms, I will take up arms and fight them to the death. I think we can all agree to “ban” together if they come after our boysenberry cobbler with homemade ice cream. As I’m sure Patrick Henry meant to say, “Give me spuds, or give me death.”

Cool slightly (stirring occasionally). Pour into baked pie shell. For meringue: Preheat oven to 400°. Top with meringue and brown. Or may top with whipped cream after chilling pie.

Beat softened cream cheese until creamy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat to incorporate. Add egg yolks and beat well. Add lime juice and beat till combined. Pour mixture into pie crust and spread with spatula until evenly distributed. Place on cookie sheet and then into the oven and bake for 10 min. until the filling begins to set. Remove from oven and allow to cool on rack at room temp. Then place in the refrigerator for at least an hour. Two works better. Cut into 8 slices and serve with a generous helping of whipped cream.

Banana Cream Pie 3/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk 3 egg yolks, lightly beaten 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 medium firm bananas 1 9 inch pie shell, baked whipped cream or Cool Whip sliced banana In a saucepan, combine sugar, flour, and salt; stir in milk and mix well.

Blueberry Pie 5 cups fresh blueberries 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 teaspoon sugar Sprinkle berries with lemon juice; set aside. Fit half of pastry in a 9-inch pieplate according to package directions. Combine 1 cup sugar and next 3 ingredients; add to berries, stirring well. Pour into pastry shell, and dot with butter. Unfold remaining pastry on a lightly floured surface; roll gently with rolling pin to remove creases in pastry. Place pastry over filling; seal and crimp edges. Cut slits in top of crust to allow steam to escape. Brush top of pastry with beaten egg, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar bake at 400° for 35 minutes or until golden. Cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.

The Ultimate Lemon Meringue Pie Graham Cracker Coated Pie Shell 1 1/4 cups flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and frozen 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, frozen 3 -5 tablespoons ice water, as needed 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs Lemon Filling 1 cup sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/8 teaspoon salt 6 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups water 1 tablespoon lemon zest 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Meringue Topping 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1/3 cup water 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1/2 cup sugar 4 large egg whites 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Make pie shell: Mix flour, sugar and salt in a food processor, by pulsing a few times. Scatter the frozen butter pieces over flour mixture. Pulse in 1-second pulses about 5 times to mix in butter. Add frozen shortening; pulsing in 1-second pulses until mixture resembles cornmeal with pieces about the size of peas. Slowly add ice water, with motor running, one tbsp at a time. When dough forms a ball, stop processing. It should take about 2 or 3 tbsp of ice water to reach this stage. Shape dough into a ball in your flour coated hands, and then flatten into a 4 inch wide disk. Flour disk and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Generously coat your work surface or pastry sheet with a little flour and about 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs. Place dough on floured surface, coat with some flour and graham cracker crumbs, and roll into a 9-inch disk. Lift, coat surface with more graham and flour, turn dough, add more graham and flour on top, and roll out to a 13 inch disk. Place into a 9 inch pie pan, and finish edges. Refrigerate crust until firm, about 30 minutes. Prick dough with a fork to prevent bubbling up in the oven. While the oven is preheating to 375°, put pie crust in freezer. Bake at 375° for 20- 25 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure it's browning evenly and not bubbling up. Lemon Filling: Whisk sugar, cornstarch, and salt together. Add egg yolks, then immediately but gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups water. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking regularly, 8- 10 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, whisk in zest, then juice, and finally butter. Keep warm until meringue is made. Meringue topping: Mix cornstarch and 1/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat when translucent and thickened. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large mixing bowl, mix cream of tartar and sugar together. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add vanilla. Beat in sugar mixture, 1 tbsp at a time. Then drop in cornstarch mixture, 1 tbsp at a time until stiff peaks form. Pour warm lemon filling into pie crust. Distribute meringue evenly over the top, starting with the edges, and then the middle. Make sure it attaches to the crust. Lifting with the back of the spoon, create peaks in the meringue. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool completely before serving.

Corn trade has continued its recent choppy action this week with December on both sides of the $8 mark. September futures are 6 lower on the week heading into Thursday, and the December futures are 6 lower. The outside markets have been choppy as well, and have not added much direction this week. The front month spreads have moved back to a more normal carry with September a dime below December. On the chart December futures have ample support at $7.85 and resistance in the $8.08 area. With larger support at $7.70 and resistance at the contract high printed on Friday of $8.49. Corn harvest continues to expand with poor yields, test weights, and ample quality concerns. Export inspections improved to 22.3 million which is still behind the USDA pace. Weekly export sales were 122,800 metric tons of old crop, and 123,600 of new crop, which was a little below expectations. Ethanol margins remain under pressure but production rebounded slightly this week. On the Monday afternoon crop conditions report good to excellent conditions stayed at 23%, while poor to very poor conditions slipped further to 51% poor to very poor. Maturity is well ahead of normal, with the crop two to three weeks ahead of normal. The cooler temperatures will slow maturity in the near term. On the report, the USDA lower yield to 123.4 bushels per acre, on 87.4 million harvested acres for a total production number of 10.779 billion. Carryout was lowered to 650 million bushels, while carry in was raised to 1.021 billion. Usage cuts were made sharply across the board in all categories for the next year. The harvested acres number will likely be revised further in coming months. If you are debating your hedging strategy after this very nice upside run, or how to manage crop insurance give us a call to assist.

Wheat trade has chopped lower this week as Russian exports put pressure on the market. The September contract weekly net changes are 40 lower in Chicago, 28 lower in KC and 6 lower in Minneapolis. Winter wheat harvest is effectively complete. Spring wheat conditions were slightly lower at 61% good to excellent, and harvest is now 65% complete. Spring wheat production in North American is expected to be bright spot in the world situation this year. Wheat exports were good at 396,700 metric tons after the strength of the US dollar has eroded the US price advantage in the near term. Russia has aggressively moved wheat to Egypt, but that should effectively be a short term situation. Export shipments have improved this week, with 22.2 million bushels. Report wise, production was raised .9 bushels per acre to 46.5, and carryout was raised 34 million bushels to 698. World carryover will likely see further revisions to the Russian and Australian production coming forward. Argentina looks to be catching good rains in the near term, but the Australian situation is generally worrisome at the moment. Hedgers call with questions. Make sure you are looking at 2013 prices on this rally to start a program for next year.

A Simple Choice on Taxes by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335

Current tax rates are set to expire at the end of the year, resulting in the largest tax increase in American history. This economic calamity, known as “Taxmegeddon” or the “Fiscal Cliff,” could not come at a worse time for taxpayers. The latest economic data confirms unacceptably low levels of growth, and the national unemployment rate has remained above 8 percent for 42 months in a row. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office found failing to prevent this fiscal cliff would result in a recession in early 2013. The pending tax increase sets up a simple choice for Congress; remove the threat of the fiscal cliff by extending current tax rates for all Americans while working on comprehensive tax reform, or allow tax increases to cripple our economy at the time we can least afford it. Put another way, do you believe the economy grows by money being in your hands, or with the government? I have joined a bipartisan majority of my colleagues in voting to extend the current tax rates for another year to avert further financial strain. Importantly, the House voted to extend rates for all Americans.

In contrast, Democrats in the Senate and the President want to raise taxes on income above $250,000, which might make for good political fodder, but it does not make good policy. Their plan would raise taxes on nearly one million small business owners who pay business taxes at the individual rates, and will cost more than 700,000 jobs according to a report by Ernst and Young. The Democrat plan also would allow the estate tax, also known as the Death Tax, to revert back to 55 percent and a $1 million exception which would be disastrous to Nebraska farms, ranches, and small businesses. I visited a manufacturing plant in the Third District with less than forty employees, and they told me this increase in the estate tax would devastate their business. While extending the rates for one year is a temporary measure to avoid immediate harm to Nebraskans and the national economy, we need comprehensive tax reform which encourages economic growth and job creation through a simpler, flatter, and more competitive code. This form of comprehensive tax reform when combined with spending cuts would create an estimated one million new American jobs in the first year.

Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207

The House also recently passed legislation to provide an expedited process for tax reform next year. This expedited process would remove several of the hurdles to tax reform and help ensure Congress can focus on passing a long term solution rather than more temporary measures. As a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, which is charged with rewriting the tax code, I look forward to this process. During the month of August, I will be traveling throughout the Third District meeting with Nebraskans about the need to reform our outdated tax code and to get your ideas for reform. I will host tax reform roundtables in Sidney on August 21 and in Wayne on August 23. Please contact my office for more information or if you are interested in attending one of the roundtables. The House of Representatives has acted and it is my hope the President and Senate will support our bipartisan efforts to spare all Americans from higher taxes next year and set the stage for tax reform to encourage long-term economic growth. Compared with the alternative, this one is an easy choice.

that threaten the economy and job growth, delay aid to drought stricken food producing states like Nebraska, soaring deficits and soon to expire tax cuts won't go away without action. It is extremely frustrating and it's all caused by a terribly politically polarized Congress. It's no wonder Congress has such low approval ratings. Respected scholars Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein, who've covered Congress for 40 years, have been quoted in the media as saying, "we have never seen Congress this dysfunctional." While some have dubbed this the "Do-Nothing" Congress, I've taken to calling it "The Kick the A Do Nothing Congress With major problems facing the country Can Down the Road" Congress because of its habit Congress acts like nothing is wrong and the of putting off making decisions on crucial issues leadership decided to follow the usual practice of until another day. taking off the entire month of August, right through Labor Day. Even after we go back into Major Issues Not Addressed Some of those issues include failure to pass a 5 session no one really expects the problems to be year Farm Bill that not only provides disaster addressed until after the November elections. The American economy can ill afford this delay. relief for the drought but actually cuts costs. Decisive action is needed because the problems Failure to fund government beyond September One of America's most colorful and most quoted presidents was Harry S Truman who, in 1948, dubbed the 80th session of Congress the "DoNothing" Congress because they were rarely in and when they were they were voting against the interests of common people. Fast forward 64 years to the 112th Congress and almost the same thing is being said. In fact, many observers have already proclaimed it the "DoNothing" Congress and it doesn't even expire for another 5 months, January 3, 2013.

30th, or even to pass a Continuing Resolution to fund it for a short time, meaning it'll be done at the 11th hour in September. Failure to pass a Postal Reform bill, which means the Postal Service will default for the first time ever on its financial obligations. Failure to pass a Cyber Security bill, leaving America still vulnerable to cyber attacks by hackers. Failure to pass legislation addressing tax cuts that expire for nearly all Americans at the end of the year. Failure to address sequestration which will force automatic and major cuts in the defense budget. This is truly the 'Kick the Can Down the Road" Congress. They keep making the can bigger, and each time Congress just kicks it farther down the road. Even the "Do Nothing" Congress of Harry Truman's time managed to do more than this one. The American people deserve better than this. The job of Congress is to respond to their needs through legislation which it has failed to do because of a poisonous partisan atmosphere that is choking our Nation's capitol.

Trade Mission Success in China By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031

I led a trade mission to China that included stops in Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai. This was the 11th trade mission undertaken by my administration. We met with many company officials who have attended our previous two Reverse Trade Missions. Our goal was to expand opportunities for Nebraska companies already operating in China, to open new doors of opportunities for Nebraska companies exploring the China market and to attract Chinese companies that want to expand into the American market to locate in Nebraska. Joining me was a diverse group of individuals representing Nebraska’s outstanding manufacturers and service providers, industry representatives and educational professionals. We had business leaders from Kimball, Hastings, Columbus, Deshler, Beatrice, Plattsmouth, Laurel, Chapman, Omaha and Lincoln. Each was looking to increase and expand their knowledge of China’s economy and culture; to identify international trade and investment opportunities in China; and to strengthen existing relationships. I met with several Chinese leaders including Vice Premier Wang, Shaanxi Province Governor Zhao and Shanghai Vice Mayor Chen. We had

productive meetings with local and national government leaders, private business and industry professionals, and educational representatives. There were several significant developments and announcements during the week we were in China. A key announcement was a new Nebraska trade office in Shanghai, in collaboration with the Shanghai Small to Medium Enterprise Center for International Cooperation. Five years ago, the Shanghai Small to Medium Enterprise Center brought 40 of their business members to Nebraska’s First Reverse Trade Mission, expressing their interest in learning what Nebraska had to offer. Since then they have become one of our most important business development partners. When they approached us with a proposal to establish a presence in China, we were very honored. A second key announcement was a letter of intent to create a Sister State relationship between Shaanxi Province and the State of Nebraska. This agreement will foster and promote the common development and prosperity of both Shaanxi Province and State of Nebraska. Our past few years, Nebraska and Shaanxi Province have

developed strong economic, medical, cultural and educational ties. Third, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the State of Nebraska signed a memorandum of understanding to reaffirm our commitment to working together to promote trade and investment activities, and business-to-business matchmaking. I want to emphasize that developing business relationships in China takes time just like it does in America. Good business relationships develop and improve as you get to know each other, trust each other and become reliable partners. For the past three years, Nebraska export growth to China has been more than 30% annually and China is now Nebraska’s fourth largest trading partner. China’s population is 1.3 billion people so the Chinese market has enormous potential for Nebraska companies. I have been to China twice, in 2007 and in 2012. In 2008 and 2011, we held two Reverse Trade Missions in which more than 100 Chinese business leaders attended. The Nebraska-China relationship is just beginning and I am confident this will be a growing and improving relationship for many years to come.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Options for Drought Damaged Corn Fields Corn that has been affected by drought can be used as a feed for cattle. Before harvesting the drought damaged corn field for something other than the grain, check with your crop insurance person to determine what needs to be considered to make sure that the field can be put up as a forage crop and still receive any insurance that is possible. The drought damaged corn plant will likely contain nitrates. Data indicates that the nitrates reside in the bottom 6 to 8 inches of the stalk. Use management strategies to reduce any possible cattle losses due to high nitrates in feed. Silage. A drought damaged corn field can be salvaged as corn silage. Harvesting the drought damaged corn field as silage will reduce nitrates by 30 to 60 percent. To reduce the nitrates through the ensiling process, allow the silage to go through the 21day fermentation process before opening the bunker to feed. Ideal moisture content of the silage for packing into a bunker is 65% (35% dry matter), with a range of 62 to 68 percent moisture. This is critical when making silage. If the silage is to wet, there will be excessive seeping and spoilage and proper fermentation will not occur. If the silage is to dry, then it will be difficult to pack and make the anaerobic (with oxygen) conditions necessary for the fermentation process. It is difficult to determine when to chop a drought damaged corn field for silage. The chop material when it is green may be as high as 80% moisture, which is too wet to pack into a bunker. At this moisture content, let it continue to dry in the field. An extra step in making silage would be to windrow the field and let it wilt in the field until the desired moisture content is achieved for chopping and packing into the bunker. To determine the moisture of the standing crop, select some stalks and cut them at the same height that the chopper will be set. Cut the stalks into small pieces (about Âž to 1 inch in lenght) using a cleaver or heavy knife, mix the sample and then analyze the sample for dry matter using the microwave. Take a sample from some of the chopped material, weigh the sample then dry it down in a microwave. Reweigh the sample to determine the moisture. Microwave slowly so as not to "burn" the sample. Microwave and weigh until there is no change in weight of the sample after microwaving. This process requires a scale that can accurately weigh small amounts of material and changes in weight due to water. Most producers are not set up to test moisture using this method. There is a "quick" method of estimating time to harvest a drought damaged corn field: the "squeeze test".

Select a few stalks (like described in the previous paragraph) and chop them into pieces about the same size that the silage chopper would using a heavy knife or cleaver. Also, you could chop a round of the field with a silage chopper and sample the chopped material. Grab a hand full of the chopped material and squeeze it for 30 seconds. If the juices drip easily from the material, then it is too wet. In this situation, wait to chop in a couple of days or test again in a couple of days. If the sample doesn't drip any juices from the squeezed material, then slowly open your hand. If the stalk material remains compacted and doesn't fall apart or quickly expand back , the moisture level is acceptable for ensiling. If your hand is not wet and the stalk material falls apart when you open your hand, the material is too dry to ensile. If the chopped silage is too wet: Stop chopping and allow the field to dry. - OR - Add whole corn, dried distillers grains, or ground dry forage. To avoid the nitrates, the chopper head could be set to leave an 8 inch stubble. This will result in a reduction in yield. The ensiling process will reduce nitrate 30 to 60 percent, so a compromise is leaving a 6 inch stubble. Droughted corn silage will be 85% to 95% the energy value of regular corn silage depending on the number of ears on the stalk. The protein content can be slightly greater than regular corn silage. Before feeding, sample and test for moisture, energy (TDN), crude protein, and nitrates. Pricing drought corn silage is a bit of a challenge. Rule of thumb has been that each ton of 65% moisture corn silage in the bunker is priced at 9 to 10 times price of a bushel of corn (normal, well-eared corn). Pricing the standing crop is a little more difficult to determine. Below are two ways some have priced it in the field. Ton price is 5 times price of a bushel of corn (earless corn) Ton price is 6 to 7 times price of a bushel of corn (low grain corn - less than 100 bu/A). It is hard to estimate the amount of silage that will be produced in a corn field that has been droughted out. The National Corn Handbook estimates the tonnage of a drought damaged corn field is related to the corn yield if the field were allowed to be harvested. For each 5 bu/acre corn yield results in a ton of corn silage per acre. If the droughted corn field were going to yield 15 bu/acre it would produce 3 tons of corn silage per acre. Green Chop. The droughted corn field could be salvaged as green chop. The field is chopped daily and

fed daily. Set the chopper head to leave at least an 8 inch stubble to avoid the high concentration of nitrates residing in the base of the stalk. Nitrates will be a concern. Do not allow the green chop to heat in the wagon. This will cause nitrates to be converted to nitrites and nitrites are 10x more toxic than nitrates. Observe cattle frequently while they are eating the green chop. Baling. The droughted corn field can be salvaged as hay. Nitrates are still a concern and consider leaving an 8 inch stubble as a major portion resides in the bottom part of the stalk. One of the challenges is to get the hay dried down enough to make a good bale. Leaving an 8 inch stubble will allow air movement around the underneath side of the windrow close to the ground to help the drying process. Crimping the stems will help in the drying process. Before feeding, take a sample and test for moisture, energy (TDN), crude protein, and nitrates. Grazing. Grazing the droughted corn field is a way to extend the grazing season. Introduce livestock slowly to this new forage by feeding them hay before turning in to reduce the chances of digestive problems. Nitrates are still a possible problem so don't force cattle to consume the bottom part of the stalk. Acidosis could be a concern depending of the amount of ear development. Adapt cows and access may need to be limited depending on the amount of ear development and grain. Avoid losses due to trampling by cross-fencing and allowing cattle only enough feed for a couple of days of grazing. A watering source or system will need to be developed. Windrow Grazing. Windrow the droughted field and leave windrows in the field for winter grazing. Nitrates are still a concern and consider leaving an 8 inch stubble as a major portion resides in the bottom part of the stalk. Leaving an 8 inch stubble will allow air movement around the underneath side of the windrow close to the ground to help the drying process. Nitrates can still be a concern, so fill cattle up with a forage low in nitrates before allowing access to the windrows. Acidosis could be a concern depending on the amount of ear development. Adapt cows and access may need to be limited depending on the amount of ear development and grain. When feeding the windrows, fence off enough for a couple of days feeding to avoid wasting a lot of the forage. A watering source or system will need to be developed.

Lean hog trade has chopped along under pressure this week. The October contract is 20 lower on the week and has resistance at $76 and $78. With below normal to more seasonal temperatures in August carcass weights should rise, and production is expanding seasonally. Liquidation is picking up which may provide some artificial production expansion influence in the trade, but it needs to be respected. This fundamental situation should add more support to the back months as more and more sows go to town as well as fewer gilts put into production. Cash trade has been soft with packers securing needs relatively easily and the soft cutout limiting margins. The dollar remains elevated compared to months past and will keep a lid on exports. December futures are down in the $72/$73 range and October at $75, meal is over $500 a ton and cash corn is around $8. Feeder pig prices are in the cheap to free range to make feeding them out work for the near term picture. Its not a good scenario to say the least. Hedgers call with questions.

Cattle prices have worked higher as the cutout begins to improve packer margins. The October contract is $1.20 higher on the week, and the September feeder cattle are $5.25 higher. Cash trade is expected to move back above $120 this week. Overall show lists are smaller, helping to give feeder some more leverage. Packer margins have improved substantially. The cutout has been stronger this week. Choice is up 5.57 at 190.52 and select up 5.59 at 183.24. The choice select spread has been fairly steady. Retail demand is starting to pick up a bit, as the last major grilling holiday approaches. Pasture conditions are declining so far this

month, and herd liquation will accelerate. Deferred months should continue to show support with supplies shrinking. The October contract is back above all the major moving averages for the moment. Feeder Cattle have acted stronger but will be vulnerable to swings of the corn market. The November low was just below $140; trade has been able to move a bit above that and hammer out a little better support with expectations of declining supplies. The cooler weather should boost carcass weights as well. Trade does look to hold near historical levels. Hedgers call with questions.

"Very little corn will be traded at $8 (per bushel) and that's what the media is focused on," Tolman said. Vilsack said most consumers don't distinguish between a commodity and a food product that includes that commodity. They don't understand that if a commodity goes up $1 it doesn't mean a food product goes up $1. He said that, on average, ag producers get 14 cents of every food dollar spent at restaurants and retail stores. "So you have to ask, "Who's getting the other 86 cents?'" Vilsack said, listing processing, labor, transportation, storage and marketing as some of the costs within that 86 cents. He said food inflation is estimated at 3 percent to 4 percent in 2012, which compares to the historic annual average of 3 percent. "There's absolutely no reason food prices should be going up now," Tolman said, at least not because

of the higher corn prices and not because ethanol is using up all the corn. He pointed to graphs showing the different ways in which corn is used, but give no feed value for distillers grain that is a co-product of ethanol processing. "Corn usage in ethanol is not a disappearance, like exporting it," Duane Kristensen, vice president of operations and general manager of Chief Ethanol Fuels Inc. in Hastings told the Hub. Tolman presented National Corn Growers data about how much corn value is in some basic grocery products: 37 cents of a pound of beef or chicken, 51 cents for a pound of pork, 12 cents in a box of cornflakes, 28 cents in a gallon of milk and 57 cents in a dozen eggs. "It's not corn driving up prices or ethanol," he said, explaining that even the current increase in corn prices would make only a few cents difference in these products. "Folks, this is an education responsibility we have. ... You have to educate. You have to advocate. You have to be engaged," Vilsack said. "We, in agriculture, do a good job of talking to each other, and we do a real good job at fussing at each other," he said. "But we don't do a good job of talking to other people." That includes messages about the value of biofuels, the conservation practices used on farms and ranches, the importance of food security, and the fact that Americans pay a much lower percentage of their incomes on food than the vast majority of the world's population. Vilsack said it's good that rural folks tend to be quiet and humble. However, they must stand up to tell their stories, especially when so much of the information about what they do and what they produce is wrong. "We have a great story to tell. We're a foodsecure nation," he said, that feeds itself and much of the world. "But who knows it?"

Crop Estimate for State, Country Dropped By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent One of the worst droughts in the last 50 years and one of the driest growing seasons on record has led the U.S. Department of Agriculture to report Friday that Nebraska's corn crop is forecast to be 13 percent less than last year and the soybean crop 17 percent below last year. Based on Aug. 1 conditions, Nebraska's corn crop is forecast at 1.34 billion bushels, 13 percent below last year's production and the smallest crop since 2006, according to USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Area to be harvested for grain, at 9.1 million acres, is down 5 percent from a year ago. Yield is forecast at 147 bushels per acre, down 13 bushels from last year and the lowest since 2003. On June 1, the USDA reported that Nebraska corn growers planted 9.9 million acres of corn for all purposes, which was up 1 percent from the previous year, and the largest total since 1933. The drought has had a huge impact on the crop since it was planted earlier this year. Some farmers planted early because of the above normal temperatures, which manifested themselves in March. Others, weary of the historic spring frost dates, planted their corn at more traditional times. But drought conditions have been relentless. Precipitation-wise, May, June and July are the wettest months of the year and produce 45 percent, or 12.11 inches, of Grand Island's 30 year annual average of 26.65 inches of precipitation. So far this year, during May, June and July, Grand Island received only 3.69 inches, of which 2.12 inches fell in May. That trend has continued into August with a little over a half-inch of rain recorded. For the year, Grand Island is 10.95 inches below the 30 year average at 7.68 inches of precipitation. Last year, at this time, Grand Island had recorded 21.17 inches. That precipitation surplus during the growing season last year led to a 1.54 billion bushel corn crop, which was the second largest production record. This year, despite the lack of rain, the USDA 2012 corn production forecast was down only 13 percent. On Monday, the weekly USDA crop report said that dryland corn, statewide, was rated only 4 percent good or excellent and irrigated corn 56 percent good or excellent. And those conditions could get bleaker as the latest weekly U.S. Drought Monitor map showed drought conditions continue to worsen in key farming states in the Great Plains. According to the Associated Press, that update

showed the expanse of extreme or exceptional drought " the two worst classifications " in Iowa jump from less than 31 percent to nearly 70 percent. Illinois, Kansas and Nebraska also saw drought conditions deepen. Last year, of the 9.6 million acres of corn harvested by state farmers, 4 million was from dryland acres, which had an average yield of 132 bushels. State farmers harvested 5.6 million bushels of irrigated corn for an average yield of 180 bushels per acre. During the first week of August in 2011, irrigated corn was rated 82 percent good or excellent and dryland corn, 74 percent good or excellent. Nationwide, the USDA reported Friday that corn production is forecast at 10.8 billion bushels, down 13 percent from 2011 and the lowest production since 2006. Based on conditions as of Aug. 1, yields are expected to average 123.4 bushels per acre, down 23.8 bushels from 2011. If realized, the USDA said this will be the lowest average yield since 1995. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 87.4 million acres, down 2 percent from the June forecast but up 4 percent from 2011. "There is an old saying in commodity markets that small crops tend to get smaller," said American Farm Bureau Federation economist Todd Davis. "If this holds true, then future reports will show declining projected production for corn and soybeans and further reductions in projected demand. This will also mean higher projected prices and great volatility in the commodity markets as demand is rationed and more supply is encouraged worldwide." The USDA reported that soybean production in Nebraska is forecast at 215 million bushels, 17 percent below last year and the lowest since 2007. Area for harvest, at 5.0 million acres, is up 4 percent from 2011. Yield is forecast at 43 bushels per acre, down 10.5 bushels from last year and the lowest since 2003. In June, the USDA reported that state producers planted 5.1 million acres of soybeans, which was up 4 percent from the previous year, and the second highest on

record, behind only the 5.15 million acres planted in 2010. On Monday, the USDA reported that 22 percent of the state soybean crop was rated either good or excellent compared to the five year average of 76 percent. Last year, of the 4.83 million acres harvested of soybeans, 2.59 million were dryland acres. Nationwide, soybean production is forecast at 2.69 billion bushels, down 12 percent from last year. Based on Aug. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 36.1 bushels per acre, down 5.4 bushels from last year. If realized, the average yield will be the lowest since 2003. Area for harvest is forecast at 74.6 million acres, down 1 percent from June but up 1 percent from 2011. While crop prices will be higher due to lower production because of the drought, that loss of crop could also have an economic impact on Nebraska's economy. Last year, the value of production for corn and soybeans in the state was $12.3 billion, which was nearly a $2 billion increase over 2010. The USDA report said that Nebraska's 2012 winter wheat crop is forecast at 55.4 million bushels, 15 percent below last year's crop. Area for grain, at 1.32 million acres, is 9 percent below last year. Yield is forecast at 42 bushels per acre, 3 bushels below last year and lowest since 2006. Sorghum yield is forecast at 60 bushels per acre, down 34 bushels from last year and lowest since 2002. Production of 4.8 million bushels is down 27 percent from a year ago. Oat yield is forecast at 56 bushels per acre, 9 bushels below last year. Production of 1.4 million bushels is 8 percent above last year. Dry edible bean production is up 13 percent from last year. Sugar beet production is up 14 percent from 2011 due to a record high yield forecast of 30 tons per acre. Alfalfa hay production is forecast to be 27 percent below last year and the smallest production since 1947. All other hay production is down 29 percent.

citrus, forestry and municipal wastes as energy sources.

Kearney - U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack gets excited when he talks about his recent visit to a Wisconsin business that makes 100 percent recyclable plastic bottles from corn cobs. At last week's American Coalition for Ethanol Conference, he described a future bio-based economy in which every part of a plant and animal, even its waste, is processed into a fuel, fiber, chemical or polymer. There already are technologies to turn hog waste into asphalt and soybeans into tires. Vilsack said all of Ford's vehicle seats are being made from soybean-based materials. "There is unlimited opportunity here," he said. New products always face a chicken-and-egg issue of having an adequate supply of a product and a market available at the same time. "We buy a lot of stuff in the federal government," Vilsack said. President Obama wants to double the amount of bio-based products among that "stuff" and use a USDA label identifying them as bio-based. Vilsack said such efforts will continue to reduce the outside influence from areas where oil-based products used in the United States come from. "And it started with you," he said, referring to people in the ethanol industry. He's excited about progress being made with support of three federal agencies to develop homegrown aviation fuels. Vilsack said the U.S. Navy wants half of its fuel supply to be biofuels. "It's a national security issue," he said. "The Obama administration is four-square behind a bio-based economy," Vilsack added.

Vilsack said studies also are being made on biofuels distribution systems, including blenders pumps that offer consumers several choices in ethanol blends. Because they are expensive to install, there are federal funds to help gas station owners make that investment. The Nebraska Corn Board also has an incentive program for Nebraska stations. "Here's the difficult news," Vilsack said, explaining that while the Senate has supported biofuels-related projects in its farm bill, there's no money for energy in the House Ag Committee's bill. "It's hard for farmers to understand that we have to speak to the other 98 percent (of Americans without ties to agriculture) to get political support," he said. So, support for research and development of a future bio-based economy will depend on what Congress does. Vilsack said there are some in Congress who already want to tighten controls on the USDA on how it spends what has been flexible funding for worthy projects. "We're committed to this. Absolutely committed to it. ... Think about every aspect of crops and livestock waste used in some way," he said. Or how about an entire car made from ag-based materials? Vilsack said more young people will be drawn to college agriculture programs by projects that make them believe "agriculture is cool, it's innovative, it's forward thinking." Another vital next step toward using more plant materials for fuel is making it profitable. Duane Kristensen of Minden, vice president of operations and general manager of Chief Ethanol Fuels Inc., in Hastings, said cellulosic ethanol hasn't reached that point yet. However, with 96.5 million U.S. acres of corn planted in 2012, there would be plenty of existing cornstalks for cattle grazing, to bale for feed and still supply ethanol plants, Kristensen said.

In this demonstration alfalfa field, FREFLOTM dramatically improved the crop yield by a very large margin. Results: 690 tons more crop yield on 360 acres (compared to the crop yield before FRE-FLOTM was installed). As a green technology innovator, FREFLOTM is a trailblazer, conditioning water naturally since 1972. For 39 years, various companies have tried to copy FRE-FLOTM, but without succeeding. Using advanced scientific technology, with nature as inspiration, FREFLOTM continues to be the effective, eco-friendly, non-chemical scale buster and soil amendment tool.

For Pipe, Pivot, Drip Irrigation

FRE-FLO™

enhances even your best irrigation systems, as the water still needs help to percolate into the ground. This all-natural water conditioning system is proven to give your crops a faster, healthier start by getting the water where it needs to be . . . what a difference it makes!

FRE-FLOTM for a “green environment” • Use Up to 25% Less Water • Save Up to 25% on Pumping Cost • Cut Expense, Increases Yields, Increases Profits
