By Amy Schweitzer, The Grand Island Independent In 1980, at his son's urging, Arlynn Johnson of Evansville, Minn., bought his first red combine. On Friday, he bought his 100th one.

The custom harvesters had always been a John Deere family.

Arlynn even had a John Deere dealership at one time.

"A John Deere fan died hard that day," he said of his son, Brent, after admitting that he liked an International combine better than a green one.

Arlynn and his sons, Brent, Shawn and Lance, were in Grand Island on Friday to pick up six new

combines, including their 100th International combine.

They joined six other operations that are members of the 100th Unit Club. At least 42 of the Johnsons' 100 combines have been made in the Grand Island plant.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report After nearly 7 weeks without a widespread significant weather system impacting the state, a very welcome moisture producer moved into our region late Thursday (2/2).

Rain and snow developed on 2/3, with the system expected to continue through 2/4.

This moisture will help Allen Dutcher eliminate the frequent days with high fire dangers for the time being and offers a glimmer of hope from the boost in soil moisture that accompanied this weather system.

Deficits across northeast Nebraska from October 1 were pushing 5 inches, so this storm will at least provide some surface moisture. Lets hope for more storms to impact the state over the next 3 months and that we don’t fall back into a long prolonged dry spell.

Week One Forecast, 2/4 - 2/10: The ongoing storm system that brought significant moisture to the central Plains is projected to slowly move eastward during the day and bring an end to snow and/or rain during the overnight hours.

Conditions will improve dramatically on 2/5, but snow cover from this storm should hang around for several days. This will likely keep readings below 40 F through at least mid-week. Models are signaling that a cold front will sweep through the state during the later half of 2/7, with a reinforcing cold front projected to arrive on 2/9.

Weather models indicate little moisture will be available with the first system and little more than flurries are currently expected. The second system has the potential to produce a couple of inches of snowfall for the western half of the state.

Outside of these two fronts, dry weather is expected. High Temperatures: 2/4 (mid 20's W upper 30's SE), 2/5 (mid 20's E - mid 30's W), 2/6 (mid 30's E - low 40's W), 2/7 (upper 20's N - upper 30's S), 2/8 (low 20's N - upper 20's S), 2/9 (mid 20's E - upper 30's SW), 2/10 (mid 30's E - mid 40's W).

Week Two Forecast, 2/11 - 2/17: Current weather models indicate that Nebraska will lie on the eastern boundary of an upper air ridge expected to dominate the western half of the U.S. Two cold fronts are forecasted to move through the state during the period. The first is scheduled to arrive on 2/12, while the second moves through during the second half of 2/15. Right now, the second system has the potential to produce light snow, with the greatest likelihood of accumulations assigned to the western 1/3 of the state. Little more than a wind shift is currently forecasted for the first cold frontal passage on 2/12. High Temperatures: 2/11 (upper 30's NE - low 50's W), 2/12 (low 30's N - mid 40's S), 2/13 (low 20's NE mid 30's SW), 2/14-2/15 (mid 40's E - mid 50's W), 2/16 (low 20's N - low 30's S), 2/17 (upper 10's NE - upper 20's W).

Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the month of January 2012, temperatures averaged well above normal while precipitation was well below normal across most of the state, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office.

Precipitation was light during January with most areas receiving less than a quarter of an inch of moisture, and at the end of the month, most of the State was free of snow cover. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated as short to very short across two-thirds of the State and adequate in the remaining counties. Wheat condition continued well above year ago levels, but declined during the month. Cattle are in good condition with the first calves of the season being born. Cattle have had access to stalk fields, limiting the need for supplemental feeding.

Weather Summary: Below normal precipitation fell during January across most of the state. This resulted in little or no snow cover at the end of January. By region, snow cover was the greatest in the northern third of the State; however, depth averaged only one inch. Little or no snow was on the ground across most of the southern two thirds of the state. Temperatures averaged 10 or more degrees above normal during the first half of the month. Temperatures averaged three degrees below normal the third week but returned to above normal reading again at the

end of January. During the last week of the month, soil temperatures ranged from 29 to 32 degrees.

Field Crops Report: Wheat conditions statewide rated 0 percent very poor, 3 poor, 32 fair, 61 good, and 4 excellent, well above last year. Hay and forage supplies rated 0 percent very short, 5 short, 93 adequate and 2 surplus, near year ago levels.

Livestock, Pasture, and Range Report: Cattle and Calves condition rated 0 percent very poor, 0 poor, 8 fair, 83 good, and 9 excellent, above last year.

This release is based on data from FSA county directors, county extension educators, NOAA, and the High Plains Regional Climate Center.

County comments and reports can be found at: http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State /Nebraska/Publications/Crop_Progress_&_Con dition/index The following are comments from Nebraska’s FSA County Executive Directors and County Extension Educators: NORTHWEST DAWES: Very Dry. Winter has been mild, calving started good, wheat could use snow cover due to cold nights.

SCOTTSBLUFF/MORRIL: Warm dry conditions so far this winter.

Radon

Page 3

Charming and Economical

Ruth Vonderohe, UNL Extension Educator in Knox County What is it? - Radon is a radioactive gas that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted and is found around the country. When you breathe air containing radon, the sensitive cells in your airway are irritated, increasing your risk of developing lung cancer.

Radon is found in the dirt and rocks beneath houses, in well water, and in some building materials. It can enter your house through soil, dirt floors in crawl spaces, and cracks in foundations, floors, and walls. Once inside, radon gas can sometimes get trapped inside the house.

All houses have some radon, but houses next to each other can have very different radon levels, so the only way to measure your particular risk is to test your own house.

Radon is measured in “picoCuries per liter of air,” abbreviated “pCi/L.” This measurement describes the number of radon gas particles in one liter of air. The amount of radon outdoors is usually around 0.4 pCi/L, and indoors is around 1.3 pCi/L. Even though all radon exposure is unhealthy, radon at levels below 4 pCi/L are considered acceptable. If your home has more than 4 pCi/L, you should take action to lower this level.

What can you do? - Testing your home is very important. About 1 out of every 15 homes has a radon problem, and yours could be one of them. The only way to know for sure is to test your home. There are two types of tests: shortterm tests take two to seven days, while longterm tests take around 90 days and provide results that are slightly more accurate. We have a limited supply of short-term tests available at the UNL Extension Office in Center.

Follow all the instructions that come with your test kit. If possible during the test, keep your windows closed to keep air from escaping.

Place your test kit in a room on the lowest level of your home that you use regularly, probably on the first floor or the basement.

When the test is done, send it to a lab to process the results.

Fix it! - It is possible to lower the levels of radon, and the risk of lung cancer, in your home. Most of the time, this will involve removing radon gas from underneath your concrete floor, crawlspace, or foundation before it can enter your home. This will require special skills and knowledge, and you may need to hire a professional contractor to help you reduce the levels of radon in your home. If you are considering fixing your home’s radon problem yourself, you should first contact your state radon office for guidance and assistance.

A few things you can do: • Stop smoking and discourage smoking in your home. Smoke increases the risk of lung cancer from radon. Increase air flow in your house by opening windows and using fans and vents to circulate air. Natural ventilation in any type of house is only a temporary radon reduction approach because of the following disadvantages: loss of heat or air conditioned air, related discomfort and increased costs, and security concerns.

• Seal cracks in floors and walls with plaster, caulk, or other materials designed to seal cracks and gaps.

Contact your state radon office for a list of qualified contractors in your area and for more information on how to fix radon problems yourself. Always test again after finishing to make sure you’ve fixed your radon problem. If you are buying a new home, ask whether radon-resistant construction techniques were used. It is almost always cheaper and easier to build these features into new homes than to add them later.

Negotiating 2012 Cash Rents for Cropland Noel Mues, Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Furnas County Firming up 2012 cash rental rates is on the minds of many landowners and tenants these days. Coming off a very strong income year in 2011, it looks like cash rents for this year are moving higher. How much higher, though, is the big question? We really can’t answer that until early March when we have the results from our UNL Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Survey. For now, we can offer a few suggestions that both tenants and landowners might want to consider.

First, in the dynamic times of the past few years, many cash leases have not been kept very current, with levels that are seriously lagging the “going rates” of local markets. In these situations, the parties involved need to work out fair adjustments—even if that means a significant jump from the old level. Our UNL cash rent series in the Resources section of our departmental website can be a help in those kinds of adjustments.

Second, if the cash rent levels have been kept current, the adjustment from 2011 to 2012 may be rather minor. While high returns over the past few years will likely lead to some cash rent increases this year, look for other factors to dampen some of the enthusiasm.

Recent crop commodity prices are volatile and suggest a year where prices and profit

AG NEWS COMMODITIES myfarmandranch.com

margins may not even come close to 2011 levels. Input costs are also higher. Of course, weather is always the wild card; and abnormally dry conditions through the winter across much of the state do not bode well for soil moisture levels going into this crop year.

So, most market participants seem to be looking ahead with greater caution.

In instances where landowners are looking for potentially higher returns, they may need to consider sharing some of the risk through going back to the more traditional crop-share lease arrangement or a flexible-cash lease.

Recently, we have been seeing particular interest in flexible cash leases, which are a good option in more volatile times.

Third, be sure to communicate well and strive to keep the rental arrangement current and fair. This is always important, but more critical than ever. more Resources – The UNL Ag Econ Department's Nebraska Farm Real Estate page includes: •The 2010-2011 Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Development Highlights with a complete cash rent history in the appendix •Farm Lease Calculator •Flex Lease Calculator •Other tools and related information for estimating costs

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • No-Till Housekeeping

by Lee Pitts

Just because I wrote a column idea in the dust on a piece of furniture because I didn’t have a pencil and paper handy, my wife thought I was making a critical comment about her housekeeping. “If you don’t like the way I clean house,” she said, “you can just start doing it yourself.”

I don’t know why women complain so much about cleaning the house. They get to work in comfortable mud-free conditions in which there are no snakes or flies, in most cases. Although it’s true that we men don’t routinely dust the furniture and wash the dishes that doesn’t necessarily mean we couldn’t if we had to. It’s just that there’d have to be a few changes made. Take vacuuming for example, an activity in which men are much like dogs in that we run and hide whenever we see or hear one.

All it would take to make men vacuum enthusiasts is for someone to make a riding vacuum. Of course, houses would have to be redesigned and bumper pads would have to be affixed to furniture, but if we had tractor-like vacuums our wives would soon be yelling, “You’re vacuuming the floors again? That’s the fourth time this week!”

Naturally, men would tinker with their vacuums to increase their horsepower and pretty soon we’d be racing them. And just think, with wider hallways we could use a Bobcat whenever you needed to flip a mattress or move the furniture!

Our house is hard to clean because it’s big; when it’s noon in the kitchen it’s three o’clock in the living room. There’s a lot of furniture to dust but I came up with another brilliant idea when I bought myself a 33 gallon portable air compressor for Christmas. Now I just blast the dust away.

(Note to men: Don’t set the compressor at more than 90 psi or you may ruin the patina on your wife’s heirloom furniture.)

If you don’t have a compressor a leaf blower will also work. The leaf blower actually blows the dust into your neighbor’s home, no matter how far away.

Using shop tools men can clean anything.

Dishes and clothes can be cleaned in your parts washer, but be careful not to agitate your delicates. And grinders, sanders, or a jackhammer can be used to clean the dirt that builds up in bathrooms during a year’s time. What, you don’t have a jackhammer?

That’s the beauty of my idea: wives can never again question your tool purchases because it’s for cleaning HER house.

A word about laundry. I’d recommend either getting a laundry hamper the size of a grain silo or leaving dirty clothes for the wife to do after coming home from work.

After all, we still want her to feel a part of the home management team.

When my wife complains about housekeeping I remind her that her forefathers and foremothers had to live in

sod houses in which tarantulas and big bugs might drop from the grass ceiling at any minute. This rarely happens in our home. I also tell her that the pioneers often had to share their houses with cows and horses, but she reminds me of all the bummer lambs and orphaned calves who’ve shared our bathtub. Speaking of pioneers, did you know that when the homes of some tribes of Indians got real dirty they just burned them down and moved. Whenever I hear something like that it reinforces my inkling that I must have some Indian blood coursing through my veins.

With men taking over home management it means wives will be freed up to work more outside the home. Of course, such dramatic change will necessitate some changes in our society. Because real men don’t watch soap operas or the Ellen Show, NFL games will henceforth have to be on weekdays so that weekends will be free for us to attend vacuum races, demolition vacuum derbies and tractor/vacuum/car shows.

History will henceforth record that it was I who suggested the use of shop tools to clean house and I will take my rightful place in housekeeping history.

Gentlemen, start your vacuums!

Corn trade has pushed higher after a soft start to the week. Last week’s bull spread trade has been unwound to a small degree as the December contract gained on the March at midweek. March corn is unchanged at midweek, and December is up 12 cents. The March corn chart support is at the 100-day at $6.40 with resistance at the 200-day at $6.63. Further support is layered at $6.30 and $6.35. Outside markets have generally been supportive with the dollar maintaining its weaker trend and the stock market pushing higher. South American weather continues to be a mixed bag, and consistent reductions of crop sizes have been supportive. Estimates by private sources range from 18 to 22 million metric tons for Argentina, while the USDA kept estimates at 26 last month. Double crop corn acreage in Brazil has kept their number more fluid for the moment. Strength it the wheat pit has also helped the corn by pricing it more attractively on the world feed market. Ethanol production edged higher this week, as did inventories. If the current production pace is maintained, there should be little problem meeting USDA estimated consumption. Ethanol inventories are large but that is a seasonal norm, and chatter continues about further exports to Brazil, but nothing is confirmed yet. South Korea and Japan have been very active buyers of feed grains from multiple origins, including the US. However, they have taken large amounts from Argentina, and Europe as well. Extensive winter kill issues in the Ukraine should extend corn acres in the spring. Corn export inspections on the week were disappointing at 22.7 million bushels vs. 31.0 million bushels. However, inspections are still near last years pace. Exports for the week were 912,000 metric tons vs. 700,000 to 950,000 expected. Hedgers call with questions.

The wheat trade has moved higher this week, taking the lead from row crops on Eastern European weather concerns, and worries over the status of Russian exports.

The weekly net changes on the March contracts are 30 higher in Chicago, 22 higher in KC and 10 higher in Minneapolis. The Chicago/KC spread has narrowed back to recent lows at 48 cents. The more aggressive short covering activity has moved Chicago wheat back to a 33 cents premium to corn, and further follow through could extend this significantly. The overall short position remains large, and short covering has propelled some intraday spikes. North American weather remains a mixed bag as moisture moves through the Eastern growing areas, while western areas anticipate a snow storm at the end of the week. Texas wheat conditions remain poor overall, while Oklahoma and Kansas are better.

However, overall conditions are still fairly mediocre overall in those states. Once the Southern Plains areas start greening up, a better sense of direction will develop on US crop conditions. Eastern Europe continues to struggle with bitter cold and snow which has damaged crops, and disrupted logistics. Russian domestic prices continue to firm and rumors about export curbs have filled the trading floors. The Russian government will make statements about exports on Thursday. The USDA confirmed 120,000 metric ton wheat sale to an unknown destination. Australia is positioned to move significant quantities of grain into the export market with near record stocks at their port facilities with up to 25 million metric tons potentially available. Asian markets continued to actively bid for feed wheat, while Middle Eastern countries bid for milling wheat. Export shipments this week were fairly strong at 18.655 million bushels keeping ahead of the USDA’s pace. The weekly export report was solid at 518,900 metric tons vs. 400,000 to 600,000 expected.

Soybean trade broke hard to open the week before regaining most of the break with outside support and Chinese buying. The weekly net change on the March contract is 4 lower, and the November is down 4. Both contracts have moved back above the 10-day and 20day moving averages at 12.10, and on the break it looks like significant support remains at the $11.80 area for now. Meal is unchanged on the week and bean oil is down 40 points. Better rains for Argentina have been seen as stabilizing for the trade, but Southern Brazil remains under the gun for now.

Outside markets have supported the trade as well this week, pulling more money back into the general commodity sphere. Basis levels have continued to firm as exporters pay a premium for beans that are already afloat. Processors are stepping up and paying some pushes as well. Chinese crush margins have improved to 3 months highs. Chinese buying has surfaced midweek as they return from their Holiday.

There is a little time left before South American beans pour on to the market, so the US will need to book sales now. If South America comes up short, additional exports will surface a little further down the road.

Some analysts are calling for stronger biodiesel usage and tighter oil stocks down the road, which will enhance the oil side of the crush equation and support the soy complex. Export inspections remained strong at 41.6 million bushels vs. 28 million expected.

Exports were disappointing at 308,400 metric tons for this year, and 60,000 for the new crop year, vs. expectations of 350,00 to 550,000 metric tons. USDA confirmed 120,000 metric tons of soybean sales to China.

Product exports were at the bottom of the range on meal at 74,700 metric tons vs. 75,000 to 150,000 expected, and oil was 6,700 metric tons vs. 0 to 10,000 expected. Hedgers call with questions.

It’s About the Future

This past week President Obama delivered his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. Traditionally, this speech has been a chance for the President to outline his agenda for the coming year. After more than three years of economic hardship, this was the time to chart a new path forward to put our nation back on a sounder fiscal and economic footing.

Nebraskans aren’t looking for more of the same policies of the last three years – more government, more taxes, more stimulus spending. These policies have not only failed to boost the economy, but also made our financial situation even more perilous. Unemployment has remained above 8 percent for a post-World War II record 35 consecutive months while our national debt has increased to more than $15 trillion. This pattern is unsustainable.

The President has said in the past he wants to make the tax code simpler, but his call for a new tax on American companies with growth overseas and more tax preferences for certain industries belies any notion of pro-growth tax reform. What President Obama proposed in his speech would actually make our tax system even more convoluted by essentially exchanging

loopholes he doesn’t like for new ones he does while damaging the competitiveness of American businesses. History shows picking winners and losers in the tax code is not good policy.

What we really need is a comprehensive approach to tax reform which simplifies the code by lowering rates, reducing loopholes, and broadening the base. This will make America more competitive with the rest of the world and help all sectors of the economy invest and create jobs here at home. Just as important, the additional revenue which would be generated by economic expansion would greatly improve our nation’s grave fiscal health – a topic the President barely mentioned.

We’ve seen a more rapid accumulation of debt over the last three years than any similar period in our nation’s history. Our nation’s debt is expected to surpass $16 trillion later this year – more than the entire size of our economy.

Economists widely acknowledge once the size of a country’s debt eclipses economic output, it becomes a serious drag on growth. The uncertainty this dynamic creates for employers

was a major contributor to last year’s tepid 1.7 percent GDP growth.

Ending Washington’s current fiscal pattern requires tough decisions and principled leadership, which leaders are supposed to offer in the form of a budget. Yet, Washington hasn’t operated under a budget for more than two years. In fact, the President’s speech marked the 1,000th day without a budget from the Senate. The economic and fiscal challenges before us require tough choices and fiscal restraint. Last year in the House, I voted to pass a serious budget containing trillions of dollars in savings and I will certainly do so again this year.

Strengthening our nation’s economy and getting our fiscal house in order continues to be my number one priority. My responsibility to you is to keep working to tackle the big problems we face.

I remain committed to finding common ground to advance reforms to control spending, reduce the deficit, improve our economy, and create jobs. It is critical we work together to advance bipartisan solutions and principled reforms so we can finally get our fiscal house in order and grow our economy.

Ethanol Remains a Top Priority in the New Year

by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725

The ethanol producers of Nebraska and throughout the country got a big boost with the new year when a federal judge decided to block a tighter fuel standard in California from going into effect that would have cut back on the amount of ethanol going to California from producers here in the middle of the country.

This ruling is good news for Nebraska’s many ethanol producers who would have been shut out of the California market by unfair rules that created inefficiencies in state to state commerce, while failing to recognize renewable fuels such as ethanol are part of the ultimate strategy for improving our environment and reducing our reliance on foreign fuels.

Increasing the Use of Ethanol The ruling comes at an important time as the federal ethanol subsidy expired on January 1st, so any reduction in the market would have been unfortunate to say the least. As it is, ethanol has a good future. We’ve seen to that in Congress with passage of the energy bill a few years ago.

Lincoln Office Federal Building, Room 287 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508 Phone: (402) 441-4600 Fax: (402) 476-8753

The energy bill improves vehicle efficiency while increasing production of renewable fuels.

By 2022, 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels must be used annually. That’s enough to displace 11.3 billion barrels of crude oil and reduce the outflow of dollars to foreign oil producers by $817 billion between 2008 and 2022. That will add $1.7 trillion to the Gross Domestic Product, 1.1 million new jobs, and generate $209 billion in new federal tax receipts.

Beyond Corn Ethanol The newest standards set for 2012 will include a mandate to blend 15.2 billion gallons of renewable fuel this year. This also includes an 8.65 million-gallon requirement for cellulosic biofuels, 1 billion-gallon requirement for biomass-based diesel, and 2 billion gallon requirement for advanced biofuels. These new standards reaffirm the base corn-ethanol will continue to play in the U.S. renewable fuel production, while providing the framework in

Washington Office 720 Hart Senate Office Building United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6551 Fax: (202) 228-0012

developing advanced biofuels which can be produced nationwide.

Just think what ethanol means for America.

It’s a cleaner burning, renewable fuel that cuts down on the amount of foreign oil the U.S. needs to import. According to the Renewable Fuels Association, in 2010 ethanol displaced 445 million barrels of oil. That’s 445 million barrels of oil we won’t have to import from other countries.

Ethanol is also good for America creating more than 400,000 jobs in all sections of the economy nationwide. In Nebraska, the ethanol industry provides more than 1,300 jobs, while producing as much as 2 billion gallons a year from 25 plants… quite a change from when I first became governor and there was just one plant.

Nebraska has always had a commitment to ethanol as have I because it’s good for the economy, the environment and America’s fight for energy independence.

STOCK Act Sets the Right Standard

Members of Congress are sent to Washington with the trust of those who elected them. Not only are we responsible for making laws, but also for abiding by them and holding ourselves, at a minimum, to standards which are commonplace in Nebraska: discipline, honesty, integrity.

That's why I support a bill that would make it explicitly illegal for members of Congress and the executive branch to engage in insider trading. The Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act sets the right standard for Congress and reflects the trust placed in us by those we represent.

In order for members of Congress to legislate effectively, we sometimes are made aware of information not publically available. This is especially true in the case of the Senate Intelligence Committee (on which I do not serve), which handles critical issues of national security. Other times, a public official might have a good understanding of what the impact --

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

positive or negative -- of a certain action will be, and as such could make an educated guess as to its impact on the markets and stock prices. The STOCK Act is based on the premise that public representatives shouldn't be able to profit financially from information other Americans don't have. And I agree.

The STOCK Act, currently being considered by the Senate, was introduced by Senator Joe Lieberman, an Independent from Connecticut. It explicitly states that members of Congress as well as the executive branch cannot buy or sell stocks, bonds or commodities futures based on non-public information. It additionally requires Congressional decision-makers to more frequently report the purchase or sale of any stock or commodity over $1000.

Lastly, it directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to report on the role of Washington firms which do business in this area -- known as "political intelligence firms."

Washington, D.C. Office 404 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510

These firms acquire and organize information from Capitol Hill and in turn sell it to interested parties; the GAO report will illuminate whether something further should be done to monitor or restrain these firms.

I could not be more supportive of this bill, and I'm now a cosponsor of the STOCK Act. I look forward to passing it through the Senate and working to get it to the President's desk. It should enjoy swift approval and hopefully will soon be the law of the land.

You sent me and others to Washington to craft good laws to make our country better. In doing so, you deserve a very high standard from your public officials. I embrace that standard, and it should be made crystal clear to all Americans that all members of Congress are acting in good faith. The Nebraska standard of honesty and integrity should be upheld by all public servants.

Central Platte OKs Agreements With Two More Dawson County Irrigation Districts

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub GRAND ISLAND - Central Platte Natural Resources District officials approved agreements Thursday with two more Dawson County irrigation districts to rehabilitate the projects in exchange for using the canals to hold water offseason.

A purchase agreement was approved with officials of the Thirty Mile Canal. It actually runs about 36 miles on the south side of the Platte River from near Jeffrey Lake east to the Interstate 80 exit at Darr.

CPNRD General Manager Ron Bishop said the NRD will pay approximately $2 million for half interest in the irrigation district. That will include half of the irrigation district's water rights and half of the value of all buildings and equipment.

A management-lease agreement was approved with the Southside Irrigation Company, also known as the Orchard-Alfalfa canal. Bishop said CPNRD will assist in operations for all of the irrigation district's benefits, pay half the operations and maintenance costs, and get half the revenues.

A lease agreement already is in place with the Cozad Ditch Co. on the north side of the river, which dates back to 1894.

All three agreements will allow CPNRD to use the canals after irrigation season to hold diverted off-season excess Platte River flows, when available. Water will seep from the canals into groundwater hydrologically connected to the river and provide river enhancement credits for the NRD. The plan requires the NRD to get water rights from the Nebraska Department of Natural

Resources for the diversions and assurances that Central Platte will get credits for any water returning to the Platte River.

Rehabilitation work on the Thirty Mile and Southside projects is estimated to cost about $3 million for each. The Cozad canal costs are estimated at $7.7 million. The projects will be done in phases to avoid interference with irrigation operations.

Two grants have been approved so far to pay 60 percent of project costs. The grants are from the Platte Basin Habitat Enhancement Program, which involves money from Platte Basin NRDs, the Nebraska Environmental Trust and state water management fund.

One grant is for the Cozad Ditch Co. project. The second is for $2.75 million worth of work planned on Thirty Mile structures and a similar grant will be sought for the Southside project.

In December, Ho Chunk Builders of South Sioux City was awarded a $551,801 contract for phase one on the Cozad canal, which involves tree clearing, canal reshaping and seeding on the lower 10 miles of the project. The contract calls for the work to be completed by April 10.

"They've gotten about 21/2 miles of the 10 miles done and are pretty much ready for seeding and mulching and the cover crop," CPNRD Assistant Manager-Projects Director Milt Moravek said Thursday.

The board voted to proceed with bid preparations on the first phase of tree clearing and canal shaping on the lower 12 miles of the Thirty Mile Canal rehabilitation - from about three miles west of Cozad to the canal's river outlet - in hopes of getting at least part of the job completed by early spring.

The estimated cost of phase one is $400,000$700,000. Bids will be considered at the Feb. 23 board meeting.

However, Kent Cordes, an engineer with Miller & Associates of Kearney, cautioned that environmental issues may make a spring construction schedule impossible.

The entire canal runs through an area south of the Platte River that is habitat for the American burying beetle. It is on the federal list of threatened and endangered species list, Cordes said, so officials of the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must comment on how and when the project phases can be done.

The Migratory Bird Act might limit tree removal that otherwise could be done over the summer without interfering with irrigation, he added.

His preliminary schedule includes three more phases, with bids awarded at CPNRD board meetings on Aug. 23 and Nov. 22, 2012, and on March 28, 2013, and project completion by April 1, 2014.

Cordes said the Thirty Mile project was constructed in 1927 and now has 52 structures, including bridges, siphons and culverts, that will be replaced in the later phases.

In another project update Thursday, Moravek said land acquisition work for dams in western Hall County that will be part of the Prairie-SilverMoores flood control project was halted to get new appraisals.

Moravek said ag land values have risen so high, so fast recently - 15 percent to 20 percent more than the values on which original offers were based - that a reappraisal was sought in fairness to landowners.

USDA Announces Greater Flexibility and Additional Tools for Beginning Farmers and Ranchers WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Bruce Nelson today announced today a new rule that expands loan opportunities for beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, while also establishing a new Land Contract Guarantee Program. The rule provides additional flexibility allowing FSA loan officers to consider all prior farming experience, including on-the-job training and formal education, when determining eligibility for FSA for farm operating and ownership loans. It also expands a previous pilot program, the Land Contract Guarantee Program, from six states to all 50 states. This program is designed to encourage farmers and ranchers to sell their property to beginning and socially disadvantaged (SDA) farmers and ranchers through the use of seller financing.

“USDA continues to find ways to improve our services for farmers and ranchers by streamlining processes, accelerating delivery, and using innovative solutions to 21st century agricultural challenges,” said Nelson. “These improvements demonstrate FSA’s commitment

to helping the next generation of America’s farmers and ranchers participate in our nation’s agricultural economy. The new flexibility also enlarges the pool of potential farmland buyers, which is important to young, beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers who start out or operate without established credit.”

The changes in eligibility announced today will increase access for farmers and ranchers to FSA loans and credit assistance. The new rule enables landowners to sell their farmland to the next generation on a contract for deed with a 90-percent guarantee against losses to the seller. Alternatively, the agency can provide a guarantee of three years’ amortized loan installments, plus payment of real estate taxes and hazard insurance premiums for the same three-year period.

U.S. agriculture is currently experiencing its most productive period in decades thanks to the productivity, resiliency, and resourcefulness of America’s producers. The improvements outlined today will help producers and businesses maintain this competitive edge. In late 2011, FSA announced a series of additional

process improvements that included quicker disaster assistance and less reporting dates.

Details follow: USDA is reviewing comments on a proposed rule to streamline the process for its Secretarial Disaster Designation, allowing farmers and ranchers devastated by natural disasters to obtain emergency loans and other assistance faster than before. Streamlining the process from six steps to two will enable USDA to help those in need in an expedited manner.

Additionally, the proposed rule can help to ensure all eligible disaster counties receive a designation.

USDA established 15 common Acreage Reporting Dates (ARDs) for farmers and ranchers participating in FSA and Risk Management Agency (RMA) programs. The common reporting dates will reduce the reporting burden on producers and also help to reduce USDA operating costs by sharing similar data across participating agencies.

Before the streamlining, RMA had 54 ARDs for 122 crops, and FSA had 17 ARDs for 273 crops.

USDA Reminds Producers of Sign-up Dates for 2012 Direct and Counter Cyclical Program and Average Crop Revenue Election Program WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Bruce Nelson today announced that enrollment for the 2012 Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE) will begin on Jan. 23, 2012. The last day for producers to sign up for either program will be June 1, 2012.

USDA urges producers to make use of the electronic DCP (eDCP) automated website to sign up, or producers can visit any USDA Service Center to complete their 2012 DCP or ACRE contract. eDCP saves time, reduces paperwork and speeds up contract processing at USDA Service Centers. It is available to all producers who are eligible to participate in the DCP and ACRE programs and can be accessed at www.fsa.usda.gov/dcp. To access the service, producers must have an active USDA eAuthentication Level 2 account, which requires filling out an online registration form at www.eauth.egov.usda.gov followed by a visit to the local USDA Service Center for identity verification.

USDA computes DCP program payments using base acres and payment yields established for each farm. Eligible producers

receive direct payments at rates established by statute regardless of market prices.

For 2012, advance direct payments are not authorized in accordance to the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Countercyclical payment rates vary depending on market prices.

Counter-cyclical payments are issued only when the effective price for a commodity is below its target price. The effective price is the higher of the national average market price received during the 12-month marketing year for each covered commodity and the national average loan rate for a marketing assistance loan for the covered commodity.

The ACRE Program provides a safety net based on state revenue losses. When the ACRE option is chosen, it acts in place of the pricebased safety net of counter-cyclical payments under DCP. USDA provides the farm a revenue guarantee. The guarantee starts with multiplying an average yield calculated using a five-year state average times the most recent two-year national price average for each eligible commodity. For the 2012 crop year, the two-year price average will be based on the 2010 and 2011 crop years. When all criteria are considered in calculating the target and the

annual revenue is lower than the revenue guarantee, the farm is eligible for support under ACRE, assuming all other qualifications are met.

Since 2009, producers have had the option to participate in either DCP or ACRE. A producer who initially chose to enroll in DCP has the option to switch to ACRE during the 2012 enrollment period; however, producers who chose to enroll in ACRE cannot switch back to DCP. An ACRE payment is issued when both the state and the farm have incurred a revenue loss. The 2012 crop year ACRE payment is based on 85 percent of the farm's planted acres times the difference between the state ACRE guarantee and the state revenue times the ratio of the farm's yield divided by the state expected yield. The total number of planted acres for which a producer may receive ACRE payments may not exceed the total base on the farm.

In exchange for participating in ACRE, in addition to not receiving counter-cyclical payments, a farm's direct payment is reduced by 20 percent, and marketing assistance loan rates are reduced by 30 percent.

Nebraska's Cattle Numbers Up From Last Year

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Nebraska's cattle and calf numbers are up 4 percent from a year ago, according to a report released Friday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

But, while Nebraska's cattle and calf inventory is up, a percentage of that increase are cattle from other states, such as Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, which saw declines in their cattle inventory because of drought, said Jeff Stolle, vice president of marketing for the Nebraska Cattlemen.

Nationwide, the USDA reported Friday that all cattle and calves in the United States as of January 1, 2012, totaled 90.8 million head, 2 percent below the 92.7 million on January 1, 2011.

This is the lowest January 1 inventory of all cattle and calves since the 88.1 million on hand in 1952.

According to the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office, all cattle and calves on hand January 1, 2012, in Nebraska totaled 6.45 million head.

All cows on hand January 1, at 1.94 million head, were 6 percent above last year. The 2011 calf crop was estimated at 1.69 million head, up 2 percent from 2010. Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter in all Nebraska feedlots on January 1 totaled 2.65 million head, up 4 percent from last year.

Nationwide, all cows and heifers that have calved, at 39.1 million, were down 2 percent from the 40.0 million on January 1, 2011. The 2011 calf crop was estimated at 35.3 million head, down 1 percent from 2010. This is the smallest calf crop since the 34.9 million born during 1950. Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter in all feedlots on January 1 were 14.1 million, up 1 percent.

Texas was hit hard last year by what is being described as an historic drought, which took a toll on the Texas cow herd as more than 150,000 head left the state " three times more than the 45,000 recorded in 2010, according to a Texas AgriLife Extension Service economist Dr. David Anderson.

Those numbers are from the Texas Animal Health Commission, and are the number of animals receiving veterinary inspection certificates prior to interstate movement.

"Reported out shipments rose dramatically above 2010 in August-October. Total cattle

reported shipped out of state in 2011 was 1.113 million head, 287,000 more than in 2010," Anderson said.

Texas, the nation's largest beef cow producing state, saw a decline in 2011, in the number of beef cows of 660,000, to 4.365 million head.

"That's the smallest cow herd since 1960," Anderson said. "This decline was fueled by the drought, which left 2011 as the record holding driest year on record in Texas."

Stolle said when looking at the increase in Nebraska's cattle and calves inventory, he said it is important to look at the bigger picture that while Nebraska's cattle numbers have increased, both of those where imports from other states that suffered from drought, along with the fact that nationwide, cattle numbers are falling.

"When we look at the prosperity or the lack thereof of the beef industry here at home, we have to look at it at this day and time as part of the whole," Stolle said.

According to Anderson, cattle prices are predicted to continue to be at all-time highs. He said retail beef prices are expected to remain high as well reflecting less supply. The USDA report revealed the national 2011 calf crop was estimated at 35.3 million head, down 1 percent from 2010.

USDA reports it's the smallest calf crop since the 34.9 million born during 1950.

Nationwide, in December, the USDA reported that the average steer and heifer price was $121 per hundredweight. Calf prices averaged $158 per hundredweight.

Slaughter numbers continued to escalate in 2011 due to drought, Anderson said.

"The southwest region, which is Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma, slaughtered almost 200,000 more beef cows in 2011 than the year before," he said. "Nationwide, beef cow slaughter numbers were up 170,000 head. And also fewer heifers were held back to enter the cow herds due to the dry conditions."

In December, the USDA reported that beef production, at 2.13 billion pounds, was 6 percent below the previous year. Cattle slaughter totaled 2.75 million head, down 6 percent from December 2010. The average live weight was down 8 pounds from the previous year, at 1,297 pounds.

Nebraska lead the nation in total red meat production with 606.6 billion pounds, which is

down 4 percent from a year before. Nebraska also lead the nation in cattle slaughter in December with 557,000 head slaughtered in Nebraska packing plants.

Anderson said the decline in the nation's cattle herd continued the trend to fewer cattle that was kicked off by the sharp increase in costs that began in late 2006.

"Skyrocketing feed costs beginning in the fall of 2006 began a wave of herd culling as livestock producers nationwide tried to adjust to unprofitable conditions," Anderson said.

Stolle said while Nebraska has benefited with the additional cattle imported into the state due to drought conditions in other parts of the nation, margins have still been low for the state's cattle feeders and packers. The reason, according to Stolle, is that because of their built in capacity and economy of scale, they have had to bid up prices to keep their operations running efficiently, which pushes their margins thin or non-existent.

Also, corn and soybean prices have been high during the year, which also cuts into those margins as feeding can be 70 percent or higher the cost of feeding.

Anderson said the top destinations for all Texas cattle outshipments were Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

"Those states were also the top destinations for Texas cattle in 2010," he said. "The value in this data is certainly that it shows the general trends in cattle movements and highlights the effect of the drought in moving cattle numbers."

Stolle said this year's mild winter has been good for cattle producers, especially as calving is starting to get under way, but the year is just getting underway and weather and drought will be a big factor again this year for the nation's cattle industry.

He said indications are out there that cattle producers may be starting to rebuild the nation's cow herd, but that could take several years to get those numbers up.

"I do think we will see producers keeping heifers in some cases to add to their herd, but short-term that just exacerbates the problem at the feedyard and packing level because those animals don't proceed through the production chain," Stolle said.

Lean hog trade has pushed higher this week as the stronger cutout has brought fresh money into the market.

The April futures contract is up 300 on the week, and finished on the high at midweek. The April moving averages are congregating in the 8800 area. Cash prices have firmer as the cutout encourages packers to pay up, and finished hogs are getting harder to come by. Finishing floors are current, so it may be hard for packers to save a lot of money.

However, packing margins are not particularly good, and the cutout will have to sustain its gains to sustain the rally. The Chinese hog herd continues to grow, which should reduce the need for imports. However, there have been recent disease concerns which could limit the growth. The recent weakness in the dollar could find more exports to other Asian destinations as well.

Live cattle trade has moved higher through midweek as fund money flowed in on the early week break. The April contract is up $1.05 on the week, and most contracts are up a similar amount. Feeder Cattle contracts have continued to grind higher this week as well, up $1.70. The cattle charts have turned fairly positive, with nearby support at the $128.50 area. The cutout have slid on the week with choice down 1.58 to $184.57, and select down .75 to $178.68, as big retail demand has not surfaced. Showlists are larger this week, and packers are bidding in the low $120’s after last weeks cash break. Feedlots are seeking $128 cash, and packers did pick up the slaughter pace somewhat through midweek. Packer

margins remain sharply negative, and better boxed beef clearance will be needed to push the trade in the near term. Feeder cattle sales continue to put smiles on the faces of cow/calf operators, and frowns on buyers’ faces. It does look like replacement heifer numbers are starting to pick up. Friday’s cattle inventory report confirmed the expected with the calf crop at 99% of last year, a shade bigger than expected, and calves down at 98% slightly below expectations.

Hedgers call with questions. The strength this week has provided us an opportunity to lock in higher prices.

MINNESOTA FAMILY BUYS 100TH INTERNATIONAL COMBINE Continued from page 1 "They've got some good salesmen," Brent said with a laugh.

Arlynn Johnson said he's been a farmer "forever," adding that he was 6 years old when he helped with his first threshing.

"I had my dog hooked up to my coaster wagon, and we hauled bundles to the thresh machine," he said.

In 1951, he bought his first threshing machine and started harvesting farmers' fields.

"I didn't even have a tractor," Arlynn said. He provided the thresher and the labor, and the farmer provided the tractor and its fuel.

"I got 50 cents an acre," he said with a smile, adding that things haven't changed that much.

"We're still cutting the grain off, and it still has to be threshed."

In 1960, Johnson Harvesting was formed, and Arlynn bought a used 92 Massey Harris for $3,650 to do custom harvesting from Oklahoma to North Dakota.

"You can maybe buy a tire for that now," joked Shawn Johnson, who is the brother who's usually in the field with the combines and the company's 20 other employees.

For years, the Johnsons were a John Deere family. For seven years, Arlynn was a John Deere dealer.

In 1980, Brent Johnson was introduced to an International Axial Flow rotary combine while harvesting.

"Brent was very impressed with it, so we ended up buying it," Arlynn said, adding with a laugh that he didn't actually see their new combine until Brent brought it home with more than 200 hours on it.

"I asked him, Brent, what do you think of it?'"

Arlynn said, reminding that they were diehard John Deere fans at the time. "He said, I'm kind of disappointed how well it performs.'"

"Now I bleed red," Brent Johnson said with a smile. The family bought that first red combine before International Harvester merged with Case to become Case IH. The company is now known as CNH.

Shawn Johnson said they stuck with the Case IH machines because of their simplicity, reliability and productivity.

Lance Johnson said the International combines they buy are not only simple to operate, which means it's simple to train new employees, but also simple to maintain.

"Very few moving parts adds to the reliability," Shawn said. He said that, the first 20 years, they would run the combines for six or seven years before trading them in, and they continued to run well.

He said the operation now usually runs eight combines as they harvest wheat, canola, peas, barley, soybeans, corn and other grains from late May to December. Each year, the company buys six new combines, which are driven around 1,000 hours in a year.

The Johnsons' first International 1460 combine was on hand at the CNH plant, parked next to the new 8120 combines to show the changes in technology in 32 years, but Lance said there aren't many changes from year to year.

"It's the exact same concept," he said, although the large front tire on the old combine is the same size as the smaller back tire on the new combines. The first International combine had been sold to a neighboring farmer about 20 miles away from the Johnsons, and last fall, they had the opportunity to buy it back.

CNH Plant Manager Bill Baasch said every customer is important, "but when you have customers like this coming through their 100th one, it is even more special."

As the Johnson family walked through the plant to drive their 100th combine out the door, nearly 1,000 CNH employees lined the way applauding the family.

"Oh, wow," Shawn said when he saw the line.

"It was really unexpected " just overwhelming."

Kelly Kravig, CNH platform marketing manager, said Friday was a unique celebration.

"It's a milestone few can achieve," he said, adding they aren't just customers but also partners with CNH. Baasch said customers such as the Johnsons help out CNH in more than just sales because they can count on them to tell CNH what works and what doesn't.

On occasion, CNH also can test out a new design in the field by taking it to farmers such as the Johnsons who run their combines long hours.

"They work with us in developing and improving and giving feedback," Baasch said.

Arlynn's sons have been running the day-today operation, but it remains a family corporation. Brent and his wife, Deb, got out of the custom harvesting to farm their own place but still own a part of the combines.

"It's been a family operation from day one," Arlynn said, adding that his sons have grown up working in the business. "They grew into it.

I made sure they had combines when they were young and still in the mood to learn and to work. They learned to work on the harvest."

Another generation is now working for the operation.

Lance's sons " Trey, Ty and Tanner, who were also in Grand Island as the family drove their 100th International combine off the line " also drive combines during the busy season.
