Christensen, a leading water expert in the Legislature, said he doubts that a lawsuit already filed by irrigators will get settled out of court. The suit challenges the state’s plan to pump groundwater into the Republican River. LINCOLN (AP) — Nebraska officials will likely face more court battles if they try to limit groundwater irrigation near the Republican River to conserve water, a state lawmaker says. The state is already mired in litigation, and a lingering drought

has raised concerns about whether Nebraska will have enough water to meet its obligations. Access to the Republican River's water is spelled out in a 1943 compact involving Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas. The agreement allocates 49 percent of

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report

Allen Dutcher

Week One Forecast, 9/7 - 9/13: Weather models indicate a very warm start to this forecast period before a cold front makes its way through the state by Wednesday. Very hot conditions are likely during the 9/7-9/9 period with highs consistently in the low to mid 90s. A slight chance for isolated thunderstorms are possible, with the most likely area to be the western third of the state. Scattered thunderstorm activity is indicated by the weather models for 9/10 as a cold front begins to move southeastward through the Dakotas on 9/10. This front is projected to clear Nebraska during the evening hours of 9/11 and become stationary across northern Kansas. Scattered thunderstorms are expected on 9/11 for the eastern half of the state. These same models indicate that another round of thunderstorm activity is possible across the eastern third of the state on 9/12 as stationary front begins to slowly sag to the southeast in response to high pressure building into the state from southern Canada. Mostly dry conditions are forecasted for 9/13

and temperatures may struggle to reach the upper 60's across extreme northern Nebraska. High Temperatures: 9/7 (89 NE - 95 W), 9/8 (89 NE - 97 W), 9/9 (85 NW- 96 SE), 9/10 (80 NW - 89 SE), 9/11 (72 NW - 82 SE), 9/12 (70 NE - 75 W), 9/13 (69 N - 77 S). Week Two Forecast, 9/14 - 9/20: Current model projections for this period indicate that drier than normal conditions will materialize and temperatures will be seasonable. The high pressure system that is forecasted to move into the state on 9/13 is expected to slowly drift eastward during the week. High temperatures will gradually move from the low 70s across eastern Nebraska to the upper 70s by the end of the forecast period. For western Nebraska, temperatures will begin in the low 80s at the beginning of the forecast period, warming into the mid 90s during the middle of the period, then cool back into the low 80s as a cold front approaches the state on 9/20. Precipitation chances currently look slim for the 9/14-9/19 time frame, with only isolated thunderstorms predicted for western Nebraska during the 9/16-9/18 period. As the cold front arrives on 9/20, weather models indicate an expansive area of precipitation developing across the Dakotas and western Nebraska. For eastern Nebraska, precipitation is forecasted to hold off until 9/21 as the cold front pushes south and east of the state. High Temperatures: 9/14 (70 NE 81 W), 9/15 (72 NE - 84 NW), 9/16 (74 NE - 84 W), 9/17 (77 E - 84 SW), 9/18-9/19 (78 E - 85 W), 9/20 (77 W - 81 E).

Nebraska Weather and Crops LINCOLN — For the week ending September 1, 2013, temperatures well above normal combined with limited rainfall to further reduce soil moisture supplies and stress dryland crops and pasture, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Dryland corn conditions rated 39 percent good or excellent, compared to 58 average. Corn in dough was 93 percent, behind 100 last year but near 95 average. Corn dented was 51 percent, behind 91 last year and 70 average. Corn mature was 1 percent, behind 34 last year and 9 average. Soybean conditions rated 3 percent very poor, 8 poor, 23 fair,

52 good, and 14 excellent. Ninetyeight percent of the crop was setting pods, near 99 last year and equal to 98 average. Soybeans dropping leaves were 4 percent, behind 6 last year but ahead of 2 average. Sorghum conditions rated 11 percent very poor, 19 poor, 30 fair, 37 good, and 3 excellent. Sorghum heading was 97 percent, ahead of 87 last year but near 96 average. Sorghum turning color was 34 percent, ahead of 27 last year but behind 39 average. Proso millet was 14 percent harvested, ahead of 8 last year and 5 average. Dry bean conditions rated 0 percent very poor, 2 poor, 14 fair, 71 good, and 13 excellent. Dry beans dropping leaves were 37 percent, ahead of the 15 last year and 16 average. Alfalfa conditions were 7 percent very poor, 13 poor, 29 fair, 44 good, and 7 excellent. The third cutting of alfalfa was 85 percent complete, behind 98 last year but near 87 average. The fourth cutting of alfalfa was 6 percent complete, behind 43 last year and 18 average. Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Stock water supplies rated 5 percent very short, 20 short, 74 adequate, and 1 surplus.

Home Storage of Apples Susan Hansen, Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, Colfax County Apple season is around the corner. Whether the apples are from your own tree, purchased at an apple orchard or found in the grocery store, proper storage can prolong the usability of apples. Apples are best stored at 30 to 32 degrees F with a relative humidity of 90 percent and some air circulation. In years gone by, root cellars were used to store fruits and vegetables. Very few homes today have root cellars, so the most practical home storage device for apples is the refrigerator. Produce such as apples are not dead at the time of harvest; they remain living, respiring organisms. Apples continue to take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide and ethylene gas. Since the apple is no longer receiving nutrients from the tree but is still respiring, it must use up the food it has stored over the growing season. As this food is gradually used up during storage,

the sugar, starch and acid content of the apple changes. Eventually the tissues break down and the fruit withers and decays. Low temperature, high humidity and proper air circulation serve to slow down the decline of the fruit as much as possible. When harvesting homegrown apples for storage, select fruit which have reached maturity but are not yet fully ripe. A mature apple is full-sized and has a sweet flavor. It should have a greenish-yellow undercolor and be hard and crisp. One bad apple spoils the whole bunch is true. When apples and other fruit are bruised, ethylene gas is given off. Ethylene causes fruit to ripen more quickly and can reduce storage time significantly. Apples are a healthy addition to the daily diet. Apples are a good source of fiber, particularly if the skin is eaten. Vitamins and minerals are also found in apples. When packing a lunch or looking for a snack on the go, consider apples.

Preserving the Flavors of Summer Sheryl Schmeckpeper, The Norfolk Daily News

Well, at least the gardens are ripe with corn, educator, agrees that acid needs to be added to tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, zucchini, melons ensure a safe product. "Because tomatoes have pH values that fall and a plethora of other fruits and vegetables that are being canned, frozen, pickled, dried and, of close to 4.6, you must take some precautions to can them safely. To acidify tomatoes, add 1 course, eaten. Why go to the effort of canning, freezing, tablespoon of bottled lemon juice (not fresh squeezed) or ¼ teaspoon citric acid per pint of pickling and drying? "It still tastes like summer," said Stephany tomatoes. For quarts, use 2 tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon citric acid," she Matson. The Norfolk woman was referring to the flavor said. "The acid can be added directly to each jar of homegrown sweet corn when it’s served up on cold January day. Maybe it’s not as good as it was before filling it. If this makes the produce taste back in July when it was eaten off the cob, but it’s too acidic, add a little sugar to offset the taste." If lemon juice or citric acid is not available, a close second. So far this summer, she has canned 190 quarts vinegar can be used, she added. Just add 4 of green beans and 65 quarts of tomatoes and tablespoons of 5 percent acidity vinegar per salsa. She also cans other vegetables and makes quart or 2 tablespoons per pint, Schroeder said. When canning, it’s important to use proper jams and jellies. Taste is just part of the reason why Matson jars, lids and rings that will seal correctly.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Desperate.com by Lee Pitts

I laugh when I hear people say how revolutionary all this computer malarkey is, like email, eHarmony and e everything. As far as Internet matchmaking goes, let me tell you, people were just as desperate for affection back in my day. Or at least I was. Picking a mate without meeting him or her is nothing new; what do you think the lonely old miners, ranchers, mountain men and sheepherders in the early West did when they married whatever got off the stagecoach, or the train? It’s just one more example of how, if you wait long enough, everything that is old will come around again. I’m just waiting for it to be my turn. Many of the women who wanted to come West were “picture brides” because the men, who outnumbered the women sometimes by as much as 60 to one, picked their lifelong mate as if they were ordering from a Sears Roebuck catalog. They were also called “mail-order brides;” only in many cases they were “mail-order lies,” as the product that arrived by boat after sailing around the horn was often not as advertised. But what were the lonesome men supposed to do, send the women back? This wasn’t catch-and-release fishing we’re talking about here. It was also common for foreigners who came to this country to marry women who

were picked out for them back in the old country. And there were probably just as many lies told in the Gold Rush days as there are now on the Internet. There had to be; why else would a nice woman leave the cozy confines of the eEast to live in a dugout with a dirty old man, cook, clean, propagate and fight off Indians and wild animals in her spare time? This subject arose because a friend of ours is “back on the market” after being married for 25 long years. Slick said that his wife was “monogamously challenged,” but I can’t say as I blame her because Slick is as exciting as gray wallpaper. He’s also very lonely and he’s going broke paying $3.95 per minute to talk on the phone to some gal in Thailand who speaks terrible English. Slick is one of those men who just can’t seem to live without a woman in his life. He is also like those miners and ranchers of yesteryear in that he takes a bath once a week, has no social skills, lives in poverty and is desperate for a mate because he is tired of doing his own dishes. The problem is the odds have evened up and there is one woman for every man in the West now. Except for Slick, that is. Slick got so tired of cleaning his own bathroom and was so desperate for love that he went on a matchmaking website to prospect for a wife. After paying up, Slick

was asked to complete an in-depth confidential personal survey. But just like the liars of old, he “aggressively stretched the truth,” you might say. Instead of saying he’s 5’8”, he said he was 6’2”, and instead of saying he was bald, fat and ugly, he said he loved to cook, was a 185 pound bundle of muscle and had all of his own hair. He also said that he was sensitive, caring, liked jewelry, made in excess of $150,000 a year and had several homes, despite the fact that he’s a day-working cowboy who lives in a 1965 model trailer house. And it’s not even a double-wide! When I asked him why he lied Slick said, “What woman in her right mind would go out with me if I told the truth?” I had to admit, he had a very valid point. So the Internet dating service matched him up with a “voluptuous 25-year-old who loved to cook and clean” who turned out to be a 65-year-old whose face would stop a freight train. “She’d keep the crows out of your crops,” said Slick dejectedly. “So you’re not going to see her again?” I asked. “Oh no, we’re thinking of moving in together in the trailer house,” said Slick optimistically. “Sure, we were both a little disappointed at first,Home Storage of Apples but fortunately neither one of us is in a position to get too fanatical about a few minor details.”

September 5, 2013

A Month of the Good Life by Senator Deb Fischer

During the Senate’s state work period for the month of August, I traveled across the state speaking with Nebraskans, touring businesses and medical centers, and holding roundtables with various groups and industry leaders. Starting in Omaha and Lincoln, I made my way from eastern Nebraska all the way up to Chadron and then west to Gering and Scottsbluff before heading down to Holdrege and McCook, making stops in many other towns along the way. I traveled more than 1,700 miles to 23 counties, where I held or attended more than 20 public events and met with more than 20 different groups and organizations. I was so pleased to see wonderful turnouts of Nebraskans eager to share their insights and voice their opinions. In Chadron, I held a roundtable with Western Nebraska Veterans Service officers and discussed a number of issues, including health care for retired members of our military in rural communities. I heard from farmers and ranchers in Bridgeport and Grand Island about topics of concern in agriculture and the need for a multiyear farm bill. I am thankful for the many organizations that took time to inform me about the work they are doing to make a positive difference in Nebraska’s communities. For example, I was able to tour the Box Butte General Hospital in Alliance and Children’s Hospital in Omaha and speak with the

impressive health care providers at both of these facilities. Mosaic welcomed me for a visit and tour of its Omaha agency. While there, I was moved by the story of one family I met, Chris and his mother Janey, who told me how Mosaic has helped improve the quality of their lives. I was also delighted to spend a day at the State Fair, a tradition that brings Nebraskans together from all across the state. Another highlight included the Chamber of Commerce Fly-Back in Ashland with Nebraska’s Congressional delegation. I was pleased to attend the opening of the new Green Plains Ethanol Plant in Atkinson, as well as the Cherry Avenue/I-80 Bypass in Kearney. These events are meaningful opportunities to recognize the economic growth and development strengthening Nebraska’s communities. If there was one consistent concern voiced at both my listening sessions and private meetings, it was ObamaCare. Nebraskans are concerned with the impact of this law on their health care and our state’s businesses. Due to ongoing uncertainty and increased insurance costs resulting from the Affordable Care Act, business owners have cut back their employees, have reduced hours, and are delaying plans to expand. In my August 25 column published in the Lincoln Journal Star, I shared the story of Eileen Marrison, a small business owner I met in

Papillon. Marrison owns and operates Nebraska’s “Two Men and a Truck ®” franchises based in Lincoln and Omaha. She was recently forced to hire a costly consultant to understand her new employer duties under ObamaCare. The bottom line of the 40-page report? Increased costs and complex compliance requirements – common burdens now shouldered by many of Marrison’s fellow entrepreneurs. I join Eileen Marrison and the ever-growing list of hospitals, health care providers, disability advocates and job creators in opposing this law. I remain committed to repealing and replacing it with effective, commonsense reforms, which include: making health insurance portable so workers can take it from job to job, allowing smaller companies to pool their risk to obtain discounts from insurance carriers, increasing competition so health-insurance policies can be sold across state lines, and medical liability reform. Thank you to all those who took time to attend my local meetings and events. I value these opportunities to hear directly from Nebraskans. Congress returns to Washington in September, and I look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to promote smart, responsible policies.

Each year, I have the opportunity to nominate a Nebraska family as national ‘Angels in Adoption’ honorees, and each year, I’m blown away by these special families. This year is no exception, and the many years Mitch and Betty Nisly of Beaver Crossing, Neb., have spent caring for children stood out in particular. The story of the Nislys and their 10 children began more than three decades ago. Since the age of 13, Betty felt a calling to be a foster parent. Growing up, she was the neighborhood babysitter, always looking after children, sometimes for days at a time. She followed her calling and became a foster parent by the time she was 21 years old. Soon after, she learned she was unable to have children of her own, and adoption was the natural choice. Mitch and Betty finalized their first adoptions almost 17 years ago and currently have nine adopted children: Brandon, Amber, Brianna, Dominique, Nicole, Asia, Daryl, Michael and Maj.

Scottsbluff Office: 115 Railway Street, Suite C102 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Tel: (308) 632-6032 Fax: (308) 632-6295

They’re expecting their 10th adoption to be finalized in the coming months. The children, who range in ages from 21 to 6, all came to the Nislys through the foster care system. Mitch and Betty’s first three adopted children, biological siblings Brandon and Brianna followed by Daryl, all came to them with developmental disabilities. According to the Nislys, adopting Daryl, now 9 and unable to speak, has been one of the best things to ever happen to their evergrowing family. Despite his disability, his personality shines brightly throughout the Nisly home. Nicole and Michael, also biological siblings, were the next to be adopted, followed by Amber. Biological siblings Dominique, Asia and Maj became official members of the family last November. A tenth child, who has been living with the Nislys for the past year as a foster child, is in the process of being adopted.

Together, they share an undeniable bond. The children relish their big family, and often ask Mitch and Betty to bring more children into their home. “They tease each other like all normal siblings do,” said Betty. “It’s wonderful to see how close they’ve become.” I couldn’t be more honored to recognize the Nisly family as 2013 ‘Angels in Adoption.’ They will be recognized at a special ceremony in Washington, D.C., this fall, and I look forward to celebrating their commitment to children. The unconditional love Mitch and Betty have provided to their adopted kids as well as dozens of foster children over the years is truly remarkable. They have enriched the lives of these children forever and are models of compassion and love. I encourage others who feel a calling toward foster parenting or adoption to explore that path, knowing it could forever change the life of a child.

Plant Closing Reflects State of Nebraska Dairy Industry Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent The Milking Parlor was a popular destination at the Nebraska State Fair. But while the dairy industry is an important part of Nebraska agriculture, the numbers of dairy farms and dairy cattle have been getting smaller very year. There are about 200 dairy farms in Nebraska, with 56,000 cows, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Last year, those dairy farms produced 1.19 billion pounds of milk with a value of $234 million. But a diminishing number of dairy farms is making it hard for dairy processors to do business in Nebraska as evidenced by the announcement that the Leprino Foods cheese plant in Ravenna will close in November. Greg Ibach, director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, said at the State Fair that Nebraska has all the ingredients to be a big dairy-producing state. It has good access to grain, hay, water, a favorable climate and a lot of space. "We just need to figure out how we can be more welcoming when they want to come," he said. Ibach said dairy operators have looked at Nebraska to relocate, but some counties were not as welcoming as they could have been. "I think this (the closing of the Ravenna plant) underscores the fact that, in Nebraska, economic development, jobs in local communities, really are tied to the livestock industry," Ibach said. "We really have to look at ways that we can manage our cultural heritage, our raw materials, our feedstuffs, our climate and our hard-working people in Nebraska to be able to expand livestock and create opportunities for existing businesses in Nebraska and new businesses to locate here." He said his department is looking for ways that agriculture can work with local economic development agencies to find the right kind of livestock agriculture.

"That doesn’t mean that we have to have a 20,000-head dairy in that community," Ibach said. "If that community wants to recruit several 1,500head dairies or several 1,000-head dairies, we will work with them to accomplish their goal. But at the end of the day, if we grow jobs around those communities in livestock agriculture, we are also going to grow jobs around food processing and other areas." Don Esau of Beatrice, a former dairy farmer, has been promoting the dairy industry at the State Fair for four years. He also helps with the Milking Parlor by giving milking demonstrations. Esau said the loss of the Ravenna cheese plant will hurt local dairy farmers and the state’s dairy industry. "It is going to cost the farmer in that area more to transport his milk to a different processing plant," he said. Esau said the family dairy farm, like the one he and his family used to operate, "is on its way out for the most part." "They are going to have to go to large-scale dairies that milk 5,000 cows or more a day," he said. "The economics of that is it is cheaper to produce lots of milk there than on a small farm." To illustrate how quickly the dairy industry has shrunk in Nebraska, Gage County, where Esau had his dairy farm, had 187 dairies 35 years ago. "Today, there are five," he said. Because of economies of scale, it’s tough for small family dairies to stay in business. Also, volatility in dairy prices makes it hard for smaller operations to survive. In recent years, high grain prices have further shrunk dairy profitability. Also, restrictive zoning laws in many counties make it hard to locate large dairies near processing plants. "No matter how many cows you milk, whether it is 40, 10 or 2,000, you have to be there seven days a week, 365 days a year and twice a day," Esau said.

Also helping out with the Milking Parlor at the Nebraska State Fair is Roger Henrichs of Beatrice. He said it’s sad that the Ravenna plant is closing, but "milk has wheels." For example, the last three loads of milk coming from the Milking Parlor at the State Fair have gone to a dairy processor in Omaha, another load went to a dairy processor in West Point and one load to the Ravenna cheese plant. A load of milk is about 7,500 gallons. "Milk cow numbers have remained pretty steady in Nebraska, but they are all concentrated in less than 200 dairies," Henrichs said. He said the high price of corn and other feedstuffs has also hurt Nebraska’s dairy industry. "Eight dollar corn was great for Nebraska, but it really hurt the dairy industry," he said. "The biggest thing that will help the dairy industry is four or five dollar corn." Henrichs said he heard that the Ravenna cheese plant recently took in eight loads of milk. "That is a lot of milk that has to go somewhere else now," he said.

As Harvest Nears, Variable Weather a Concern Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Variable weather conditions have producers concerned about crop conditions as crops begin to head into their later stages of maturity. Roger Luebbe, Husker Harvest Days site manager, said the crops will be ready for HHD, though they will be on the wet side. He said several weeks ago, it was borderline whether the crops would be ready for the show, but the recent hot weather has helped crop maturity enough so that they will be ready the field demonstrations. "The heat will continue on this week and that will help us catch up on heat units," Luebbe said. "It won’t be like the last couple of years, but should be in that 28 percent to 30 percent moisture area." While HHD plants its crops earlier in the season so they will be ready for the Husker Harvest Days — this year on Sept. 10-12 — late corn planting in some areas because of wet field conditions last spring could lead to reduced yields if an early frost hits this fall, said Jenny Rees, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator. Overall, Rees said Nebraska’s corn crop is looking strong, and for farmers who planted around the average time, in mid-May, yields in irrigated fields are projected to be up 5 to 10 percent over the 30-year average. According to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service’s most recent weekly crop and weather report, all corn condition rated 5 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 23 percent fair, 46 percent good, and 20 percent excellent for the week ending Aug. 25. Irrigated corn conditions rated 81 percent good or excellent, compared to the 76 percent average. Corn in dough was 82 percent, behind 98 percent last year and the 90 percent average. Corn dented was 29 percent, well behind the 80 percent last year and the 52 percent average. But, Rees said, some farmers didn’t get into the fields until after Memorial Day because of wet conditions. Expected yields in those fields could be down as much as 13 percent from the 30-year averages, thanks to late-season lower temperatures and a dramatic increase in the probability of frost damage before the crop matures.

Richardson County Free Fair Schedule 2013 September 11-14

He said the projections were made using UNL’s Hybrid-Maize model, a computer program that simulates the growth of a corn crop, and weather data from the High Plains Regional. According to Rees, yields for rainfed fields are harder to project, but the model simulated yields where corn was planted on the average planting date to be lower than an average year for most areas, but close to or higher than a normal yield in the northeast, thanks to aboveaverage growing season rains. For fields planted around June 1, simulated yields are also lower than an average year for most locations. Cindy Fey, senior meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Hastings, said the first frost of the fall is typically in late September when the morning low reaches the mid-30s. For the first freeze, when the morning low is at the freezing point of 32 degrees, the 30-year average is around Oct. 9. By Oct. 22, there’s a 90 percent probability of a hard freeze when the morning temperature falls to 26 degrees or colder. "We are still looking at a trend of where temperatures will be above normal," Fey said. Going into September, daytime highs average in the lower 80s. Recently, daily average temperatures have been about 10 degrees above the 30-year average. Weather models show as farmers head into harvest season, there are equal chances that temperatures and precipitation will either be on the high or low side. Following the climatology, Fey said, that could mean that 30year frost and freezes averages could be expected. "Obviously, we need to watch as weather systems come through, but right now we are not seeing any big trends in the forecast," she said. This year’s variable weather conditions have also impacted other crops along with corn. Loren Giesler, UNL Extension plant pathologist, said stem and root rots continue to be a problem in several Nebraska soybean fields. Also, in northern Nebraska white mold has been reported in several fields. "We also continue to see brown stem rot, phytophthora root and stem rot, and sudden death syndrome," Giesler said. Statewide, soybean conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 4 percent poor, 22 percent fair, 56 percent good, and 16 percent excellent. Ninetyfour percent of the crop was setting pods, near the 95 percent last year and equal to the

average. Soybeans dropping leaves were 1 percent, behind 3 percent last year but equal to the average. White mold, also known as Sclerotinia Stem Rot, is a disease that starts earlier in the season during flowering. The actual infection occurs on the senescing flower, which serves as a food source for the fungus, Giesler said. "Therefore, all infections in soybean typically start at a node," he said. "You can even tell when the infection occurred based on how high up the plant the stem lesions and fungal growth are. The cool wet conditions that occurred during flowering were favorable for infection, and the cool temperatures the last couple weeks were very favorable for fungus growth." During this soybean growth stage, Giesler said, symptoms will appear in individual or small pockets of dead or dying plants. Upon close inspection, growers will see a white, cottony fungal growth on the stems. There also may be dark black bodies (sclerotia) of the fungus on the stems. If it is drier and plants are dead, the stems will be very light (bleached) in color. When dead stems are split, often growers will see sclerotia of the fungus inside. Since further spread will be limited to localized spread (no sporulation stages) from plant to plant, soybean growers’ management decisions will depend on how widespread the plant infections are, according to Giesler. He said he has received several calls asking whether a fungicide should be applied. "While there is no good data on this, if producers are seeing widespread infection of plants across the field, there may be some benefit from treating," he said. Many fungicides are labeled for Sclerotina Stem Rot and could stop the disease from spreading to adjacent plants. However, Giesler said soybean growers should keep in mind that the disease will not spread much if temperatures are in the 90s, as predicted for the next week or so. The optimum temperature for growth of this fungus is 75 degrees. Right now the best action is to make sure the problem is identified so it can be managed in the future, he said. As with any disease, correct diagnosis is critical to proper management. For more information or to have plants diagnosed, visit the UNL Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic at http://pdc.unl.edu/home.

Corn

Wheat

Soybeans

Corn trade initially tried to move higher following soybeans lead Monday night before sagging into Midweek. For the week, September corn is unchanged, and December corn is 12 lower. December futures have support at $4.65 nearby, while resistance is in the $4.79 area. The short position has grown slightly ahead of anticipated harvest pressure again. The center of the Corn Belt is seeing the most weather concern with the heat stressing late developing corn, but also helping to cure the lagging maturity. The weekly ethanol production and export numbers were delayed because of the Labor Day Holiday. Export inspections bounced a little to 17.1 million bushels. Crop conditions were reported at 56% good to excellent, down 2% on the week, 84% in the dough, and 42% dented, remaining behind normal but catching up slightly. Harvest is moving along in the Southern growing areas with good yields reported so far. If the warmer than normal temperatures persist in should get harvest going on a more widespread basis soon. End user margins remain pretty solid which should help demand in the near term. Basis has faded nearby with more bushels just around the corner. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been sideways to lower with spillover pressure from row crops and a stronger dollar. So far Chicago wheat is down 8, KC wheat is 5 lower, and Minneapolis is 8 lower. The December Chicago contract has support at the $6.35 from the past lows, and resistance at the $6.50 area. Export news will need to remain solid to find some more short covering and the stronger dollar has put the US at a disadvantage with Egypt securing large quantities of Black Sea origin wheat. The weekly export sales are delayed as well. Export inspections were 36.1 million metric tons, which was very strong and shipments are 32% ahead of year ago pace. Spring wheat harvest is now on the homestretch. Canadian yields sound solid so far. Wheat will likely need additional support from row crops for a bigger rally, but problems in South America and strong shipments should keep a level of support under the market. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade spiked to test the contract highs before falling back into the left over gap. For the week, November beans are 5 lower. On the chart, November has support at $13.51, and $13.33 with resistance at $13.65 and then $14.09 which is the contract high. Basis has stayed fairly firm on old crop basis. The weekly export sales are delayed because of the holiday. Export inspections were soft 1.44 million bushels. Crop conditions were off 4% at 54% good to excellent. Soybean pod set is nearly complete. The export market has been quiet except so far this week, but already booked sales are very strong, and South America has been shipping ahead of pace. The weather forecast continues to lack finishing rains for much of the distressed territories. Hedgers call with any questions or to discuss working with FuturesOne.

Fast Isn't Always the Goal in Antique Tractor Games Harold Reutter, The Grand Island Independent

the wooden platform, with the goal being to get the end down in the dirt to rise a few inches into the air without having the opposite end fall into the earth. In other words, the platform is balanced. The competition is timed, so having one end of the platform or the other plop down into the dirt is not a disqualification. The driver just keeps inching the tractor forward or backward until the platform balances for a couple of seconds. Stein noted that there were divisions: under 2,500 pounds, 2,500 pounds to 4,500 pounds and over 4,500 pounds. "I’m talking about the tractors, not the drivers," Stein clarified. Many folks have perhaps competed in an egg race, where contestants balance an egg on a spoon and try to walk as fast as they can over a race course without dropping the egg and smashing it.

Following the conclusion of the Antique Tractor Games at the Nebraska State Fair, Dave Zumbrum of St. Libory confirmed the obvious: If a person loves antique tractors, he or she will look for any reason to drive them. Zumbrum, president of the Central Nebraska Antique Tractor and Equipment Club, said people in his organization get an opportunity to drive their shiny antique tractors in lots of town parades and festivals during the summer months. The fact that several of the tractors in the Antique Tractor Games were adorned with small American flags was a visual tipoff about the tractors’ role in many parades. However, the Antique Tractor Games provide another excuse for their owners to drive them. Zumbrum said Antique Tractor Games have been part of the Grover Cleveland Alexander Days for many years and the games have been part of the Nebraska State Fair ever since it moved to Grand Island in 2010. The individual games themselves evolve over time, with some competitions dropped and new contests invented, he said. The lineup included the balance platform, the egg race, a ball drop race and the slowest in forward and the slowest in reverse. Undoubtedly, the competing drivers take pride in being Lewis Barth of Dannebrog, attempts able to handle an antique to balance his 1927 International tractor with deftness and Regular tractor while competing in the skill. On the other hand, all Antique Tractor Games at the Nebraska the drivers are good friends State Fair in Grand Island with one another, so the (Independent/Matt Dixon) competition is very friendly and lighthearted. "Color commentator" Jim Nelson of Cairo put the games in perspective, The principle was the same in the tractor egg race, pointing out to the crowd that there is "no entry which was a two-person event. One person drove fee," which means the winner of the $3 plastic the tractor and one person sat in a chair between trophy "has gotten a good return on investment" two large metal wheels. The passenger in the chair balanced the egg on on restoring his or her antique tractor. "Play-by-play announcer" Steve Stein took an a long wooden spoon that had a handle that was equally lighthearted approach. He is not a about 3 to 4 feet long. Each handle was marked member of the Central Nebraska Antique Tractor with masking tape, which was the place where and Equipment Club, but he said he was asked to everybody was supposed to grab the handle. That announce the games and "they keep announcing ensured the egg was at about 2½ feet away from the person’s hand. the annoying announcer back." However, the real difficulty in balancing the egg In conversation between Nelson and Stein, it was revealed that the balance platform contest was because one metal wheel had four wooden was once called the balance beam until insurance blocks attached to it and the opposite metal wheel companies became nervous. The story – perhaps had two wooden blocks attached to it. That gave apocryphal – is that the name, not the game itself, the passenger trying to balance the egg a very bouncy, uneven ride. was changed and "everything’s safe now." Dropping an egg did not disqualify a team. The In any case, balance platform is certainly descriptive of the competition. Tractors are driven person riding in the seat simply got out and placed onto a wooden platform that sits atop a metal the egg back in the spoon. However, dropping an beam. One end of the platform is down in the dirt, egg and having it break did "DQ" a team. The with the other end sticking a few inches up in the team with the fastest disqualification made it air. Each driver guides the tractor in reverse onto

about a foot and a half before dropping its egg and breaking it. The egg drop race was a timed event over a forward and back course. Lots of teams made it up and down the course without disqualifying themselves. But far fewer teams made it over the course without dropping the egg even once. In addition to the tractor owners, there also was a media celebrity egg race. As a result, Stein ended up being one of the contestants. He almost immediately dropped and broke his egg. However, he got another egg and was able to complete the course without mishap. Stein kept hold of his microphone during his race, all the while issuing mock complaints that he was handicapped because he had to balance the egg on the spoon while simultaneously gripping his microphone and providing color commentary for himself. The ball drop race was pretty self-explanatory as well. Plastic buckets, one plastic barrel and a metal milk can were placed next to traffic cones that were laid out in something of an obstacle course. The goal was to drop the ball into each bucket, barrel and the lone milk can without missing the target. A miss was assessed a time penalty. A ball that landed in the bottom of a bucket and bounced out also got a time penalty. More than a few balls did end up bouncing during the competition. "The bottom of the bucket is unforgiving," Stein noted. Running over a traffic cone with a tractor also got a time penalty. No one hit a traffic cone, but one driver did hit a bucket. Announcer Stein declared that hitting the bucket should be a time penalty — and because the Central Nebraska Antique Tractor and Equipment Club is a nonprofit association, it should also result in "a fine of $1.79!" Stein described the final two events — slowest forward and slowest backward — as something of an "anti-NASCAR" competition because the goal was to go the slowest. That was easier said than done because a person who tried to go too slow would sometimes kill the engine and be disqualified. When the slowest in both directions had been declared the winner, the Antique Tractor Games were completed. That meant it was time to hand out trophies and ribbons. That was a pretty lowkey affair. People gratefully accepted their prizes, but they seemed just as interested in talking to their friends as being crowned champion. Besides, everyone had to pitch in to clean up the arena. After that, there was one pleasurable chore to be done: Drive the antique tractors back to the spot where they are on display for fairgoers.

LAWSUITS PREDICTED IF IRRIGATION IS RESTRICTED Continued from page 1 four reservoirs in the Republican River Basin to keep the state in compliance with the Republican River Compact, a move that alarmed surface-water irrigators. State Sen. Mark Christensen of Imperial said he was confident that more lawsuits will come if the state restricts irrigation, as many expect will happen. Kansas has long accused Nebraska of violating the 1943 compact by allowing farmers to divert more than their legal share for private use. Kansas has said Nebraska has allowed the proliferation and use of thousands of wells hydraulically connected to the river and its tributaries, thus depleting the river's flow. The state already has been sued by Kansas over use of the Republican River. Another lawsuit filed by two groups of irrigators is challenging a plan to pump groundwater into the river to comply with the compact. Christensen, a leading water expert in the Legislature, said he doubts that lawsuit will get settled out of court. When lawmakers convene in January for the 2014 session, they will begin secondround debate on a bill that would compensate farmers when Nebraska limits or shuts off irrigation in the Republican River Basin. It would direct $10 million to pay surfacewater irrigators as much as $150 an acre per year for two years as compensation for the loss of water. Of that, $6.6 million would come from a fund the Legislature has been paying into since 2007 — the last time the state paid irrigators for water sent to Kansas. The other $3.4 million would be new spending from the general fund.

Evaluating the Value of Corn Silage in Nebraska Under Current Conditions Dr. Galen Erickson, University of NebraskaLincoln Beef Feedlot Extension Specialist In the past, corn silage was more attractive and more economical when corn prices were relatively expensive. A large body of research was conducted on how silage fits in different beef cattle systems. As a result of expensive grain, we are focusing on how this approach may fit today. There are two other reasons to revisit this issue today. We want to determine how distillers grains (which are common today) impact cattle performance when fed with silage. This is different from feeding corn silage 30 to 40 years ago when distillers grains weren’t so abundant. The other reason is that pricing silage is different when corn prices change. Finishing Cattle When feeding elevated levels of silage to finishing cattle, producers’ daily gain and feed conversions will generally get poorer. However, if silage is priced appropriately, this relatively minor change in performance is still economical. Therefore, how silage is priced is critical. We have updated pricing on corn standing in the field to 7.65 times the price of a bushel of corn. The bushel price is as-is bushels and the corn silage is priced on an as-is ton at 35 percent DM. When we price it into the bunker, we use commercial rates for harvesting and packing the silage as well as estimating the price or cost of the bunker. However, you have a discount if you harvest silage as you don’t have to harvest grain (cost of combining) and you don’t have to deliver it to the market (average of $0.11/bu). There is much discussion on removal of stover and the fertilizer value. In actuality, the cost of not having to harvest the grain is about equal to the cost of N and P removed from the field. In addition, this system only fits sustainably on acres suitable for silage harvest, likely on irrigated acres, and also on acres receiving manure. We have not credited acres that receive manure which would fit integrated crop-cattle operations.

Shrink is also a key factor when you go to price silage from the bunker to a price delivered to the cattle. In our economics, we have used 10 percent and also shown the impact of going to 15 percent. As you can see, properly packing, covering, and managing your silage pile face is critical to minimize shrink losses. We would always recommend measuring shrink. More information on the feeding of elevated amounts of silage is available in our 2013 Nebraska Beef Reports in the Forage Resource Management and Finishing sections. Backgrounding or Cow-calf Operations Silage also is a good fit for many backgrounding or cow-calf operations. Pricing it appropriately and evaluating price per unit of energy (usually totally digestible nutrients) is essential. In recent times, silage was the cheapest source of TDN and should be evaluated. Lastly, harvesting drought challenged areas for silage is one way to salvage a corn crop. It is important that removal of the crop as silage does not compromise any government payments for yield losses. Targeting 35 percent DM for silage from those acres is very important so that you can anaerobically store the silage and fermentation occurs. Webinars Recordings of three webinars providing additional information on the value of corn silage and on proper harvesting and storing methods are now available online. • Keys for Harvesting and Storing Quality Silage • Silage Pricing and Nutrition – Economics of Use in Forage Fed Cattle • Using Elevated Levels of Silage in Finishing Diets and Addressing Shrink Source: http://beef.unl.edu, August 2013

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Ergot Poisoning in Cattle Richard Randle, Beef Extension Veterinarian, University of Nebraska, and Dee Griffin, Feedlot Production Management Veterinarian, Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center There have been recent reports across the Midwest of cattle suffering from ergot poisoning. Several reports have been in Nebraska as well. Ergot is a fungus that grows on the seed head of cereal grains and grasses. Historically rye was commonly affected by the ergot fungus, but wheat, rye, barley, oats, brome, fescue, blue, Timothy, Western and Intermediate Wheatgrass and other grasses can also be infected. Environmental conditions associated with a cool wet spring followed by hot early summer temperatures are ideal for the ergot fungus to grow. Delayed harvesting of grass hay because of rain also means that late cut hay may also be at risk of ergotism. All animals are susceptible to ergot but cattle are often most affected. The fungus produces toxic compounds called ergot alkaloids which are vaso-active, causing severe vasoconstriction of small arteries. The extremities of cattle are most often affected, causing loss of the tips of ears and tail. Depending on the level of ingestion, feet and legs can be affected as well, causing signs of lameness with potential swelling in the fetlocks and hock joints observed, and in severe cases, loss of hooves. Changes in blood flow can also

affect thermoregulation and result in heat intolerance. Cattle will commonly develop a rough hair coat, lose weight and have extended periods of time standing in water or shade if available. Pastures and hay should be examined for the presence of the fungus. If present, the fungus can be identified as dark brown, purple or black bodies within the seed head. There is no practical way to eliminate the ergot-producing fungi from pastures. The incidence and severity of outbreaks vary with climatic conditions. Producers that rely on fescue grass may be at additional risk since the toxins produced by endophyte infected fescue are very similar to ergot toxins. Removing the animal from the source of the ergot toxins and providing supportive care is the only treatment for affected animals. Animals can recover if they are removed early enough before severe clinical signs are present. Grass in pasture or hay should be examined to determine if the fungus is present. Since the ergot fungus is only in the seed head, grazing of infected pasture before the seed head develops is advised. Grass that has developed a seed Grass in pasture or hay should be examined to head can be clipped before allowing cattle to determine if the fungus is present. graze. Hay produced from ergot infested grass may be toxic as well and should be inspected before feeding. For more University of Nebraska-Lincoln beef information go to http://beef.unl.edu.

Nebraska Weekly Weighted Average Feeder Cattle Report Week Ending: 9/2/2013

MARKET: Burwell Livestock Market – Burwell; Lexington Livestock Market – Lexington; Loup City Commission Co. – Loup City; Tri-State Livestock Auction – McCook; Valentine Livestock Auction – Valentine Receipts: 12,095 Last Week: 9,073 Last Year: 9,485 Compared to last week fresh bawling steer calves under 600 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Yearling steers sold steady to 6.00 higher. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold steady with weights over 500 lbs trending 2.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was good for fresh calves and very good for yearling feeder cattle. For the last few weeks record prices continue to paid for yearling feeders. With the “short” supply of feeders at area auctions farmer/feeders and strictly order buyers have been fighting over these offerings. Valentine livestock traded 800 lbs steer offerings up to 170.00 per cwt right off of summer pasture. This week’s weighted average price for an 800-900 lbs steer was 160.70. Nebraska slaughter steer and heifer trade was sluggish with dressed sales trading 1.00 to 2.00 lower from 195.00 to mostly 196.00 and live sales sold 1.00 lower at 124.00. Feeder supply included 49 percent steers with 55 percent over 600 lbs.

Nebraska Department of Agriculture has a hay and forage directory available at www.agr.state.ne.us click on Hay Information.

Lean hog trade has worked higher in active trade this week. October futures were 140 higher and the deferred months have been more sideways on the ideas of increased expansion as illustrated by the slowing sow kill numbers. October futures have resistance at 8950, and support at 8800 for now. The pork cutout has been fairly sideways. Packers have been aggressive killing pigs after of the Holiday and while carcass weights have edged down due to heat, and pork remains attractively priced in the retail market. Hedgers call with questions, and focus on margins looking forward. The summer lean hog futures strength coupled with breaks in feed costs has provided good opportunities to lock-in good board margins. Oct. 13 8490 9155

Live cattle have ground lower on soft demand and bigger numbers, while feeder cattle have remained fairly sideways. Live cattle are 60 lower on the week, while feeder cattle are 10 higher. The cutout activity has started to stall as Labor Day clearance wasn’t exceptional. Choice is .88 higher to $196.56 and select was down .15 at $182.13. Cash trade has surfaced at $126 in light action. Showlists have gained this week with slow cash trade as packers are developing better leverage especially with the short week. Packer margins are holding on for the moment. October Live

Cattle on the chart have been sideways to lower, and are drifting into longer term support. October Live Cattle chart support is now $125 from the lows a couple of weeks ago. Resistance is the $126.85 area on the 10-day moving average. The hotter weather should lower carcass weights in the near term, and the loss of Zilmax should show up more in the next 4 to 6 weeks. Hedgers call with questions.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Husker Harvest Days

September 5, 2013

Husker Harvest Days: Ready For The Show! Now in its 36th year, Husker Harvest Days isn't resting on its laurels. Show management continues to add new features and upgrade facilities. For example, this past spring Roger Luebbe, HHD site manager, drilled a grass seed mixture into 400 exhibitor lots. Recent dry seasons and all that foot traffic took its toll on the grass on many lots. Unlike the new grass seeding, you will have a hard time seeing the newest irrigation system installed on the show site – it's underground. A subsurface drip irrigation system is watering a corn field and parking lot south of the exhibit

area. It's the first time an SDI system has been installed at HHD. The cattle handling demonstrations will be observing a milestone as well – the 25th anniversary of live cattle demonstrations at HHD. Nebraska veterinarian Joe Jeffrey has been involved since the beginning in 1988, and he's sure to have some humorous anecdotes from all those years moderating the demonstrations. But there is a lot more at HHD. Here's a quick 30-second look at some of the highlights: •Nearly 600 hundred exhibitors from the top agribusinesses from across the country and around the world on an 80-acre exhibit field

•Hundreds of acres of field demonstrations highlight side-by-side equipment comparisons. •Irrigation systems, components and accessories •Ag marketing seminars •Ride 'n' Drive demonstration areas •Crafts and artwork •Antique tractors and equipment •Hospitality tent with health screenings, seminars and prize drawings •Horse training •And more!

Irrigating Underground at Husker Harvest Days Don McCabe, Archives During Husker Harvest Days this year, you'll have a hard time seeing the newest irrigation addition at the show site six miles west of Grand Island. That's because it's underground. A subsurface drip irrigation system is watering a corn field and part of the parking lot south of the exhibit area in 2013. It's the first time an SDI system has been installed at HHD. Western Irrigation, based in Garden City, Kan., installed the drip lines, feeder lines, drain lines, filtering system and control panel this spring. During the show, Western Irrigation's lot, Lot H, will be located at the site of the control panel and filtering system. For 35 years, HHD has showcased irrigation technology and has featured center pivot

manufacturers, pipe manufactures and dozens of other irrigation equipment suppliers. About every type of center pivot and lateral-move system has been installed during those years. The big four in center pivot sprinkler systems— Valley, Reinke, T&L and Lindsay—are fixtures every year in the 80-acre exhibit area. Roger Luebbe, site manager at HHD, says the SDI system replaces a hose-drag lateral move sprinkler that had been there for years and was "showing some fatigue." The SDI system is watering 30 acres, six of which are part of the exhibitor parking lot at the show. Four different types of drip tape were installed. "During the summer season, we intend to fly over the SDI field to see if there is much of a difference in plant growth in the different field zones," Luebbe says.

The drip lines are on 60 inch centers and buried 14 inches deep. The system is fed by a 300-gallon-per-minute well powered by a submersible pump. Through a wireless connection, the control panel can be automatically connected to either a computer or smartphone, allowing the operator to manage the system remotely. The self-cleaning filtering system will keep out of the drip lines any fine sands, according to Mark Beckett of Western Irrigation. Beckett estimates SDI, because of its efficiency and water delivery uniformity, can save one-third of the water applied by a center pivot and 2/3 of the water applied by gravity irrigation systems.

Hall Of Fame Conservationists To Be Recognized Don McCabe The Natural Resources Building at Husker Harvest Days serves as a "one-stop-shop" for anyone interested in learning more about Nebraska's natural resources and conservation programs. The Natural Resources Building is located on the southeast side of the show grounds in Lot 1106. "This is a great opportunity for folks to stop by and check out the new building, pick-up a tree seedling and learn about what's new in water and natural resources management," according to Joe Anderjaska, the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts (NARD) board president. "Our natural resources--water and soil--are the building blocks of agriculture, so it makes sense that the organizations that protect those resources have a prominent location at the state's largest agriculture-oriented event, he says. The Hall of Fame is a new award that honors individuals that have made significant contributions through Nebraska's 23 natural resources districts. The award, to be presented Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the show, is designed to recognize outstanding effort and dedication to conservation, resulting in improving natural resources in Nebraska. The purpose of the Natural Resources Hall of Fame is to reward individuals for service and commitment to natural resources conservation.

The candidates are elected into the Hall of Fame by vote of current NRD managers and NARD board members. There are three Hall of Fame categories: natural resources district board member, natural resources district employee and an "Other" category which includes individuals outside the NRD system. The building will be manned during the threeday event by conservation partners ready to explain voluntary conservation and cost-share programs available to landowners. "This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about Nebraska's natural resources and conservation programs. The resources building will be loaded with opportunities for farmers and ranchers to learn more about water and soil conservation programs, which can improve their operations financially while protecting our natural resources for future generations," says Anderjaska. At Husker Harvest Days, the NARD partners with other agencies to create a true "one-stop shop" for natural resources questions and answers on conservation programs. For example, Nebraska Health and Human Services will be testing water for nitrates, so people who bring in a sample can have their water tested for free. Agencies expected to exhibit are USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Nebraska Department of Health and

Beaver Bearing Co.

Human Services, the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality, the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture, the Nebraska Forest Service, the USDA Farm Service Agency and representation from Nebraska's 23 natural resources districts. "Make sure to stop by our new location this year to pick-up your free Colorado blue spruce tree seedling and learn more about conservation programs that protect your farm for future generations," says Anderjaska. The Nebraska Association of Resources Districts, the trade association for Nebraska's 23 natural resources districts, works with individual NRDs to protect lives, protect property, and protect the future of Nebraska's natural resources. These districts are unique to Nebraska. NRDs are local government entities with broad responsibilities to protect our natural resources. Major Nebraska river basins form the boundaries of the 23 NRDs, enabling districts to respond best to local conservation and resource management needs. To learn more about Nebraska NRDs visit www.nrdnet.org. Learn about cost-share programs and pick up a tree seedling at the Natural Resources Building, Lot 1106.

Take Forage Sample to Husker Harvest Days For Nitrate Testing Cattle producers are asking if drought has harmed crops and other forages, particularly high nitrate levels. To find out for sure, take samples with you to this year's Husker Harvest Days west of Grand Island, Sept. 10-12. In its building on the show site, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension specialists will conduct nitrate testing of cattle forages. The free rapid testing will be available at the university's building during the event. "If you are concerned that drought has damaged crops or other forages and want to know if the nitrate level is too high to feed, UNL extension can address these concerns," says Matt Luebbe, assistant professor of animal science.

To have forage tested, producers collect a representative sample of the feedstuff they are concerned with and drop off samples. Producers should choose samples that represent the greatest risk level, Luebbe says. The samples can be tested while producers enjoy other exhibits. "With the rapid test, we can usually determine if high nitrate levels exist within 1-2 minutes. After that we can quantify the amount of nitrates within an hour if the preliminary test is positive," he says. "If we determine your feedstuffs are high in nitrates, there will be UNL beef extension personnel available to help you to tailor a feeding program that fits your needs and resources available."

Shop For Your Country Crafts At Husker Harvest Days Creativity abounds at Husker Harvest Days, and it's not all in the field demos or exhibitor booths, either. Crafters from Nebraska and several surrounding states, about 40 in all, will show and market their wares at the Country Crafts Tent at Lot 1301 in the southwestern corner of the show's exhibit area. Don't miss your chance to check out and stock up on the creations, for yourself or for gifts for family and friends. In the big white tent, you will find these types of crafts on display and for sale: candles, jewelry, paintings, toys, quilts, pottery, jam, clothing, flowers, yard ornaments and much more. Diane Bybee, from the Nebraska Farmer, coordinates the Country Crafts Tent. Here is the list of crafters exhibiting at this year's show: •All of Us, Lee Shumate, Tallulah, La. •Barn Candle Co., Rod and Sadi Pontine, Hastings •Blankets 4 U, Kathy Johnson, Grand Island •Blue River Art, Cindy Brader, Glenvil •CD & LL Enterprises, Larry Lausten, Lincoln •Charles Freitag Illustrations, Charles Freitag, Marion, Iowa •CMJ Enterprises, Ida Reynolds, O'Neill •Country Lavender Farm, Kevin & Mim Klawonn, Hampton •Country Rhoads Jelly, Cindy Rhoads, Superior •Dangle's, Pam Roth, Papillion •Dazzle Me, Dawn Hill, Kearney •Fabulous Frenchies, Francesca Melgoza, Grand Island •Grafted Tree Signs, Engraving & Gifts, Toni and Rick Nolze, O'Neill •Grandma's Stitching & Grandpa's Sawing, George & Sandra Davis, Grand Island •GT Embroidery, Rick and Toni Nolze, O'Neill •Heirloom Treasures, Sharon Walde, Hoskins •Inscribed Creations by AlyJo, Pam Hakl, York

Luebbe adds that he does not think many forages will have elevated nitrate levels because the weather-related stresses this year are not as widespread as they were in 2012. Although the tests are not as comprehensive as those done by commercial labs, Luebbe says, results will help feeders decide how to feed these forages, or if additional commercial tests are necessary. The UNL building at HHD will have rapid tests for forages while you're at the show.
