Production News By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent The U.S. wind market had a record-breaking year last year as 9.8 GW of wind projects were installed, according to the IHS Emerging Energy Research. But, IHS reports, the U.S. wind market could find itself confronting a growth-constrained 2010 and a near-term mar-
ket landscape with increased competition. According to a new market study, "U.S. Wind Power Markets and Strategies: 2010-2025" from IHS Emerging Energy Research, with the proliferation of favorable state and federal policies, the U.S. wind industry is on track to add more than 165 GW of new capacity through 2025, resulting in a total installed base of
200 GW, according to the study's projections. Nebraska is ranked as one of the top five wind-energy-potential states and legislation passed earlier this year is expected to help promote continued growth and development of the state's wind energy potential.

Corn Ethanol Plants Using Less Energy, Study Says
Corn ethanol plants continue to cut their energy use while at the same time producing more ethanol per bushel of corn, the Nebraska Corn Board noted in reviewing a national study conducted by the University of Illinois at Chicago and published in the scientific journal Biotechnology Letters. "This underscores the importance of using current data when it comes to estimating the life cycle analysis of ethanol production," said the Nebraska Corn Board's Randy Klein. "Using outFor daily agriculture news, updates and local happenings, visit the Heartland Express website at www.myfarmandranch.com
dated data just doesn't work, nor does the assumption that today's estimates will be valid tomorrow. The ethanol industry continues to develop, which is why one cannot label today's ethanol industry as mature." The study, conducted by Steffen Mueller at the Energy Resources Center at the university, examined energy use and ethanol output for dry mill ethanol facilities. More than 85 percent of the ethanol produced in the U.S. comes from dry mill facilities.
For the study, the researchers surveyed 90 of the 150 dry mill ethanol plants operating during 2008. Results were compared to a 2001 survey conducted by BBI International on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. In 2001, ethanol plants used an average of 36,000 Btu of thermal energy and 1.09 kWh of electrical energy per gallon of ethanol. They also produced 2.64 gallons of ethanol per bushel.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report The past two weeks have brought above normal moisture to most of the state, along with temperatures averaging 1-4 F above normal. Isolated pockets of the southwest, northeast, and Panhandle received 25-75% of normal moisture during the last 14 days. Allen Dutcher The warm temperatures reduced accumulated Growing Degree Day deficits by 50-75 units across the southern half of the state, with the northern half of Nebraska experiencing reductions of 25-50 units. Total GDD deficits since May 1 range from 25-40 GDD’s above normal along the Kansas-Nebraska border to 70-90 GDD’s below normal along the South Dakota border. A late snow melt and active weather pattern are contributing to high Platte river flows, local-

ized low land flooding, and impressive inflows to Lake McConaughy. All Wyoming reservoirs are expected to fill, with McConaughy peaking somewhere between 1.4 and 1.5 million acre feet. Full pool is just over 1.7 million acre feet. Week One Forecast: 6/12-6/19: A large upper air trough over the western U.S. will shift northeastward to the upper Great Lakes during the first half of the period. Thunderstorms and severe weather are possible on 6/12, with southern and eastern Nebraska possibly seeing the activity linger through the first half of 6/13. An upper air ridge will build into the central U.S. from 6/14-6/16. Organized moisture is not projected by the weather models for Nebraska during this period, but with the leftover surface moisture, late afternoon scattered thunderstorms are possible. A trough is expected to move across the northern Plains on 6/17, bringing a moderate chance of thunderstorms, some severe, to much of northern and eastern Nebraska. The activity could last through 6/18. Dry conditions are expected on 6/19. Highs are projected to range from the upper 60's west to low 80's east on

6/12, with 70's expected on 6/13. Upper 70's to low 80's are projected for 6/14, warming into the 80's during the 6/15-6/19 period. Temperatures may breach the 90 F mark across southern Nebraska, especially during the 6/17-6/18 time frame. Week Two Forecast: 6/20-6/26: Weather models indicate that ridging will dominate the central U.S. during the 6/20-6/21 time frame. Temperatures should be well into the 80's, with highs possibly approaching the mid 90's across south central and southwest Nebraska. The ridge is projected to break down on 6/22 as a cold front sweeps through the state. This will lead to a flattening of the upper air ridge and lay the jet stream in an east-west fashion across the U.S. corn belt. If this verifies, expect daily chances of thunderstorm complexes developing over western Nebraska and moving eastward. Heavy rain, severe thunderstorms and potential runoff problems may develop. Highs during the 6/22-6/26 time frame are projected to range from the low 80's north to upper 80's and low 90's south.

Agricultural Summary: For the week ending June 6, 2010, warm temperatures and widespread rainfall supported crop emergence and development, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Rainfall limited fieldwork to 4.6 days. This delayed planting of the last fields of soybeans and sorghum and challenged hay producers with hay cut. Heaviest amounts of precipitation fell across the eastern half of the state. Winds quieted down allowing herbicide applications. Hail was recorded in a number of areas during the week. Weather Summary: Temperatures for the week averaged 1 degree above normal with highs in the lower 90’s and lows in the mid 40’s. The East Central District received over two inches of precipitation, while the Panhandle recorded less than .25 inch in most cases. The Northeast remains well below normal in rainfall since the first of April. Field Crops Report: Corn condition rated 0 percent very poor, 1 poor, 14 fair, 72 good, and 13 excellent. Corn emerged was 96 percent complete, compared to last year’s 99 and just behind 97 average. Soybean planting was 94 percent complete, behind last year’s 99 but near 93 average.

Talk to Creditors when You Get Behind on Your Bills Sheryl Fellers, Dawson County Extension Service If you can’t pay all your bills, one likely reaction is to hide from creditors. That is the last thing you should do. It is better to face your creditors and contact them before the bills are due. They will be more likely to believe you. Before you make that contact, know the amount of take-home income you can count on and your fixed expenses. Explain your situation to the creditor and ask about delayed payments or partial payments. Discuss what you think is a reasonable plan for paying the debt. Possible options include making smaller payments for a short period, refinancing loans to get smaller payments, or consolidation loans.
Work out an agreement with each creditor, put that agreement in writing and follow it. Always keep creditor informed of changes that might affect the payment agreement. Remember, failure to make payments on a vehicle may result in repossession. To avoid repossession, check to see if the loan can be rewritten for lower monthly payments. If you don’t need the vehicle, see if you can sell it and pay off the creditor. Avoid making further credit card charges. If your payments are late, the credit card company will threaten to cancel the card or the account. If you are past due in credit card payments, call the creditor with an explanation and pay the minimum charge per month.
Let’s Preserve: Canning Basics Susan Hansen, Extension Educator, Colfax County Food from the garden can be preserved for later use through canning, drying, or freezing. All of the preserving methods are safe if proper procedures are followed. Proper canning practices remove oxygen; destroy enzymes; prevent the growth of undesirable bacteria, yeasts, and molds; and help form a high vacuum in jars. Whether food should be processed in a pressure canner or boiling water bath canner depends on the acidity in the food. Acidity of foods is measured by pH. Low acid foods include meat, poultry, fish, milk, fresh vegetables, and most mixed foods such as soups. To be sure that the microorganisms are destroyed, a pressure canner must be used for canning low acid foods. Foods higher in acid can be safely preserved in a boiling water bath. Acid foods include fruits, jams, jellies, marmalades, and fruit butters.
School is out for the summer and now is a great time to get your children involved in volunteer service. 4-H and other area organizations offer numerous opportunities for adults and youth to volunteer. For youth who volunteer, the benefits are enormous! Youth volunteers develop life skills through volunteering through increasing self-esteem, development of empathy for others and numerous other positive youth development factors. Volunteering promotes positive citizenship among youth when they engage and feel connected to their community. When youth volunteer, they are also able to form lasting relationships with peers, adults and others. Adults can have a great impact on youth volunteerism! Youth volunteer for a number of reasons. However, most of these reasons focus on being approached or asked by the organization, the student’s school, or family and friends. If you ask the youth in your community to volunteer, they probably will! Youth are extremely busy, but volunteering remains an important part of youth development. You can help youth to volunteer in a number of ways. · First, help youth to find opportunities to volunteer. Perhaps you can suggest a community activity where volunteers are needed. Youth are very capable of handling most volunteer activities. As the adult, your role may be to provide the

Detailed Specifications
Because of the high acid content (in the form of vinegar), pickles and sauerkraut can be preserved in a boiling water bath. Unacceptable methods of preserving food are open kettle canning and canning in the oven. These two methods do not safely preserve foods. If you use these methods and have never been ill, you have been very lucky. Instead of counting on your luck, try the recommended methods of pressure canning and boiling water bath canning. Improperly canned food can contain the bacteria called Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism. The Clostridium botulinum bacteria exists either as spores or as vegetative cells. When ideal conditions exist, such as improperly canned items, the spores produce vegetative cells which multiply rapidly and may produce a deadly toxin which results in botulism poisoning. If the above paragraph scared you, it was meant to. Canning food can be safe if proper methods are followed; canning food can be harmful if the proper methods are not followed.

leg work in finding volunteer opportunities. · Second, be sure to ask and encourage youth to volunteer. Often youth do not volunteer because they have not been asked. · Third, help youth to work through some of those obstacles that may be in their way. Transportation and lack of time may be issues that prevent youth from volunteering. Can you help to arrange a carpool for the volunteer activity? Can you give suggestions for volunteer activities that maximize the free time that these youth may have? · Fourth, tap into the interest of the youth. A youth who is interested in helping younger children may be very interested in volunteering at a day care or summer youth program. · Fifth, highlight some of the extra benefits that volunteering can provide. Volunteer activities are beneficial in and of themselves, but they also provide the volunteer with some other benefits. Volunteering may add to the youth’s resume for future careers or college scholarships. · Next, you, the adult mentor can act as a positive role model with your volunteer service. Role modeling encourages youth volunteerism! · Finally, encourage families to volunteer together!

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts •
The Run Around
by Lee Pitts
Many years ago in our area two brothers took a bank for many millions by tricking the loan officer into thinking they owned a lot more cattle than they really did. In the morning they showed the loan officer a set of cattle and then they took him to lunch and force fed him martinis for two hours. In the afternoon their cowboys ran the same cattle around a hill a second time as a supposed new bunch of cattle. That evening they shipped the same cattle to another ranch where they were shown to the same loan arranger a third and fourth time as even more collateral. The loan officer should have been tipped off by the fact that a couple thousand head were supposedly subsisting on a 500 acre ranch that was so devoid of grass it looked like a moonscape. I’m not sure but the brothers may have gotten the idea from the Germans who, in World War II, captured a few Americans at El Guettar in Tunisia. They marched those American prisoners up the main street of Tunis to impress the natives with their military superiority and then they trucked the same prisoners back to the start of the parade where they marched them down the street again. This went on several times until the natives must have thought the Germans had captured our entire Army. Or the brothers may have gotten the idea by reading about Moreton Frewen. This pioneer businessman was so stupid he failed on three different continents. In the late 1800’s Moreton bought a large herd of
cattle and liked them so much he bought the same set a second time when they too were run around a hill and shown to him again. I don’t advise anyone to follow a life of crime but if you are going to try this trick at home there are a couple potential pitfalls. First, make sure that there are no “marker cattle” in the bunch. If the rest of your herd is healthy and all black or red, a white one, or an animal with a runny nose and frozen tail, is going to stick out like a wart on the face of a supermodel. Even a soft-shoed urban banker might recognize a Longhorn steer with long horns and a distinctly marked hide if he sees the same animal more than five times in a row amongst a set of straight blacks or reds. I hate to admit this but even I, your humble correspondent, have unknowingly helped cattle buyers see double. Many years ago, when cows were worth about 60% less than they are now, I worked ringside at a commercial cow sale that was held on a ranch out in the country. In many ways it was unlike any other sale I’ve ever participated in. For one thing, the sale started at ten o’clock in the morning. Most auctioneers and ring men work bankers hours and the sales usually start at one. We cranked up the sale and the cattle were coming through the ring in big bunches to make nice even loads. But the buyers weren’t interested in even buying a pickup truck load. Anticipating a wreck, the savvy owner
had pre-weighed the cattle and he protected the cows to the price they’d fetch at the sale barn in town. We weren’t getting any cows sold and I’m sure the owner was ready to call off the sale when a big buyer showed up at noon to eat lunch before what he thought would be a one o’clock sale. When he saw we were already selling cows he waded right into them. The ranch owner, who had more sand than the Hawaiian Islands, went out back, had the cattle he’d already caught back resorted into smaller bunches and, because they were all the same color and without ear tags, no one was the wiser when we resold them. I thought the cattle began to look familiar and kept thinking we’d be running out of cattle soon but the ranchers, who’d been sitting on their hands before, now suddenly came alive. They started bidding on the same cows they could have bought $300 cheaper just hours before. We ended up having a great sale, although it was a long day because we sold twice as many cattle as were advertised. It was the only time in my life I’ve worked the same sale twice in one day.

Rotational Grazing the Feature of a Pasture Walk on June 23 Near Cushing The walk, hosted by Ludvigson Stock Farm, a registered Red Angus cow-calf operation, will begin at 6 p.m. with a light supper. The pasture walk will also feature methods to prevent stream bank erosion. On the Ludvigson Stock Farm, cattle graze an alfalfa-brome mixture in 10 paddocks that are fenced on the contour. Excess forage is harvested throughout the season for winter feed. The stream running through the pasture is fenced off; cattle crossings were built to reduce the risk of stream pollution. James R. Russell, Iowa State University animal science professor and researcher, will lead the discussion at this year's pasture walk.
Nationally known for his research in grazing stewardship, Russell has studied cattle movements, how much time they spend around waterways and why. He will discuss methods he has used to alter their movement and enhance water quality in the pasture. The pasture walk is cooperatively sponsored by ISU Extension, Iowa Beef Center, Woodbury County Natural Resources Conservation Service, Woodbury County Soil and Water Conservation District, Woodbury County Cattlemen's Association, Farm Credit Services of America and the Iowa Forage and Grasslands Council.
Those interested should pre-register by June 18 by contacting the Sioux County Extension Office at 712-737-4230 or e-mailing Beth Doran at doranb(at)iastate.edu. Pre-registration is required so meal arrangements can be made. Payment of $5 per person will be taken on site. In case of inclement weather, the rain date for the pasture walk will be July 1. From Cushing, the pasture walk is located three miles west on D-22 and three miles south on Story Avenue to 190th Street. Go east on 190th Street to the pasture walk signs.
Western Nebraskans Benefit from Dryland Cropping Research By Dr. Drew Lyon Dryland Cropping Systems Specialist Panhandle Research and Extension Center On April 7, 1967, the U.S. Government made available to the University of Nebraska 2,410 acres of land northwest of Sidney, which had been part of the Sioux Army Ordnance Depot, for agricultural research and education. This land was to become the university's High Plains Ag Lab, a unit that has been instrumental in conducting research into dryland cropping systems. The work of the Cheyenne County Rural Area Development (RAD) Committee, largely through its crops committee, was instrumental in getting the High Plains Ag Lab established. Committee officers were Ralph Spearow, president; Ray Cruise, vice president; and Harold Tremain, secretary. The need for the field laboratory was underscored in 1964, when there was a severe outbreak of black stem rust, wheat streak mosaic, and crown and root rot of wheat in the Panhandle. In the same year it was announced that the Department of Defense was phasing out the Sioux Army Ordnance Depot. The RAD Committee immediately explored the possibility of utilizing some of the land and facilities for an experiment station. After extended negotiations, the government issued an interim use permit for UNL to initiate operations. The deed was issued in August 1970. On April 17, 1967, Ray Cruise and Col. Williams drew a symbolic furrow on what had now been named the High Plains Agricultural Laboratory (HPAL). Thus, after much effort, time, and travel expenses by the members, RAD had succeeded in getting the laboratory established.

When the RAD Committee was terminated on July 1, 1971, Panhandle Station Director John L. Weihing prevailed upon the members to become the advisory group for the HPAL. The advisory board continues to provide valuable input and support. Under the guidance of Charles Fenster, a research program was initiated immediately. The emphasis of his program was on the efficient use of soil and water and optimizing crop yields under the semi-arid conditions prevailing in the High Plains. This has remained the focus of the dryland cropping systems effort. The research program has grown in extent and depth since its inception, and today is recognized internationally for its many and continuing accomplishments. Fenster had been hired by the university in 1956 and appointed to a newly created position to study the total management system for winter wheat production. He began his university career at the Northwest Agricultural Laboratory near Alliance. His headquarters were moved to the Panhandle Station near Scottsbluff in 1967. Fenster was known internationally for his work with stubble-mulch and no-till conservation tillage systems. He and Dr. Gary Peterson, soil scientist in Lincoln, established the LongTerm Tillage plots in 1969 at the HPAL. These plots compare various tillage regimes (moldboard plow, stubble-mulch, and chemical) during the fallow portion of a winter wheat-fallow rotation on winter wheat production and soil quality. More than 40 years later, these plots continue to result in new knowledge about the effects of fallow tillage on soil quality. Fenster also worked with colleagues in weed science on some of the first chemical fallow work with atrazine, paraquat, and glyphosate. Fenster
retired in 1982 after a distinguished career at the Panhandle Station. Over the next eight years, three individuals led the dryland cropping systems program in the Panhandle: Dr. Mark Hooker (1983), Dr. John Havlin (1984-1985), and Dr. Duane Martin (1986-1988). In 1990, Dr. Drew Lyon was hired to lead this program. Lyon emphasized cropping system intensification and diversification to reduce the frequency of summer fallow, increase precipitation use efficiency, reduce the risk of soil erosion, and to break weed, disease, and insect pest cycles of winter wheat. Lyon was named the first Fenster Distinguished Professor of Dryland Agriculture in 2008. This professorship was the first at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln established for faculty not located on the main campus in Lincoln. The professorship was established with a $250,000 gift to the University of Nebraska Foundation from Charles and Eunice Fenster. Lyon worked closely with Dr. David Baltensperger through 2006, when Baltensperger left to become a department head at Texas A&M University, and subsequently, with Dr. Dipak Santra. Both Baltensperger and Santra served in the role of alternative crops breeding specialist, to identify promising crops that could be profitably incorporated into dryland crop rotations. Proso millet, sunflower, and corn are now grown as an integral part of the crop rotation on a significant number of dryland acres that previously produced only wheat in a winter wheat-fallow rotation.

Honoring Conservation Efforts in Nebraska By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031
Dear Fellow Nebraskans: This spring I had the pleasure of meeting a family that is helping conserve the wide open spaces, ranch and farm land that are part of Nebraska’s natural resources. Each year, the Nebraska Cattlemen join with the Sand County Foundation in honoring the work of a private landowner involved in caring for the land, water and wildlife in this state. Honorees are presented with the Nebraska Leopold Conservation Award. Named for the noted conservationist and writer Aldo Leopold, the award is presented to landowners who practice responsible land stewardship and management. This year’s award will be presented later this year to the Kalkowski Family Ranches, near Lynch which was started by the late Larry Kalkowski and his wife, Kay Lynn Kalkowski. He purchased his first 160 acres in 1957 and over the years the family expanded the main ranch to extend to areas along the Niobrara River. For 53 years, the Kalkowski family has owned land in Boyd County and today the family ranches are managed by Larry and Kay Lynn Kalkowski’s

four sons and their families, who visited the State Capitol for the announcement that they were the recipients of the 2010 Leopold Conservation Award. Their family includes nearly two dozen parents and children who live and work in different communities but return to the family’s ranches in Boyd County to plant trees, repair fences, care for cattle, and preserve the natural beauty of north central Nebraska. As the ranches expanded, land was cleared and restored by removing old homesteads, buildings and fences. Terraces and berms were added, ditches reshaped and the ground has been reseeded with native grasses. land that had previously been farmed for many years was returned to natural grassland. Larry Kalkowski was a pioneer in rotating pastures, which has been expanded by the Kalkowski family who have added prescribed burns as another land management tool. The family’s story and commitment to preserving the land, water, trees, and wildlife is truly worthy of recognition. It was clear from meeting and talking with Kay Lynn and her family that they take their responsibility as caretakers of the land
very seriously. They strive to be good stewards and are passing that legacy on to a third generation of Kalkowski’s. Approximately 93 percent of Nebraska’s total land area is privately owned. I applaud the work of the Nebraska Cattlemen and the many sponsors of this award program for honoring the commitment to maintaining Nebraska’s natural resources for the benefit of our residents and future generations. Our state’s farmers and ranchers have a good story to tell. Conservation is something Nebraskans have done very well for many years. The Leopold Award is one way to share the story of how Nebraska families are preserving the natural resources of our great state. It is an opportunity to honor agricultural leaders for their conservation efforts. I congratulate the Kalkowski family and the previous recipients of the Leopold Award in Nebraska on their successful partnership, and I thank them for passing on a strong tradition of good stewardship.
Entrepreneurship Strengthens Nebraska by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335
Our national debt just surged past the staggering amount of $13 trillion. That’s $13,000,000,000,000. Our country is now on a path to borrow an average of $1 trillion each year for the next decade, which is more than was borrowed from 1776 to 2000 combined. Just as our economy is beginning to turn around, Washington, D.C., is forcing more and more spending, leading to our ever-skyrocketing national debt. All too often there is a tendency to overlook this simple fact: government does not create wealth and prosperity. While it might be tempting for the federal government to pass massive “stimulus” bills, it is the private sector – risk-taking Americans with the courage to pursue their own ideas and innovations – which prove to be the rock our economy’s recovery is built upon. Entrepreneurs deserve our support and recognition as they work to build stronger local economies. Nebraska and other rural states have seen a ‘brain drain’ in recent years. As this depletion occurs, we lose our most vital economic asset to more populated areas. I am committed to reversing this brain drain by working to encourage rural investment and by recognizing those Nebraskans who have taken it upon themselves to help

strengthen rural economies. Recently, I introduced the Rural INVEST Act, legislation designed to help protect and revitalize rural communities by providing a tax incentive for businesses by accelerating the depreciation for commercial property in rural areas. The bill targets specific geographic areas where economic investment is falling behind. According to U.S. Census estimates, rural counties continue to suffer from a decline in population, even though the population of the state rose by 3.3 percent since the 2000 Census. Most of this growth was in the larger metropolitan areas or in communities along the I-80 corridor. Allowing a greater deduction in earlier years will help attract new commercial businesses to rural areas and help revitalize communities. By empowering rural America to attract new investment and jobs, this bill will help communities retain and grow the workforce, as well as attract new employers to make these areas more competitive in the modern economy. Now, more than ever, Nebraska needs those willing to invest in their communities –innovators and entrepreneurs, not government. This is why I am again calling for nominations for the Third District Excellence in Economic

Development Award. This award is open to individuals (including youth), businesses, and organizations which – through innovation, hard work, and entrepreneurship – have helped their communities. The winning entries will be recognized to the U.S. House of Representatives and will be available, along with other notable entries, on my website after the award’s conclusion. Last year, I was pleased to honor ten individuals, businesses, and organizations which have helped strengthen Nebraska communities. Nominations for this year’s Third District Excellence in Economic Development Award are due Friday, June 25. Forms can be found at http://adriansmith.house.gov, or requested by sending an e-mail to AskAdrian@mail.house.gov and including “Excellence in Economic Development” in the subject line. I am continually impressed with the spirit and dedication of entrepreneurs in our state – both young and old –working to create opportunities. As our economy struggles to right itself, we should recognize and celebrate those who are creating jobs and strengthening communities.
Nebraskans Highlight Misguided Federal Policies by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

It was wonderful to meet with many Nebraskans last week for insightful discussions about federal policies and their impact on our daily lives. I wish all of my five hundred-some colleagues in Congress could have been with me to hear the discussions. I met with Nebraskans from Omaha to North Platte whose comments so clearly illustrated how directly federal policy impacts lives, from burdensome regulations to unsustainable spending. For example, I met with a group of Omaha and Lincoln area business owners concerned that the federal government is inhibiting growth instead of enabling it. A business owner told me the new federal health care law might actually prevent her from adding employees. The law, as many of you by now know, requires that any business employing 50 or more people provide federally-approved health insurance. Her business happens to employ just under 50 people, many of whom are part-time or seasonal full-time. She wants to grow the busi-

ness and add employees. However, if she hires more people she faces two options: either meet the costly federal insurance mandate or pay a penalty to the federal government, not for just the few new employees, but for all of them. One remark she made struck me as the root of the problem with recent federal policies: "Maybe I just won't grow anymore." That is the exact opposite response federal policies should inspire among job creators, especially in a time of high unemployment and a struggling economy. In addition, I was privileged to meet with several Nebraska educators who are concerned with No Child Left Behind. Their concern: the federal government is reaching too far into local education. A veteran educator told me they are worried the federal government is more concerned with testing than results. As an example, I heard how federal rules forced Lincoln Public Schools to reassign a principal even though the parents, students and teachers at her school all wanted her to stay.

Several educators added they are spending an increasing amount of time meeting federal rules. A superintendent said it felt like the federal government was more interested in punishing someone than in helping students learn. It was another vivid example of a federal government reaching too far into our lives. Finally, I heard a great deal of common sense advice delivered at the Nebraska Cattlemen's Midyear Meeting in North Platte. I was able to talk with ranchers from across the state and they are clearly concerned with the direction being taken by Congress and the White House. Many wondered if regulations currently under consideration will make it harder to sustain family ranching operations. Though my colleagues could not travel with me, I will make every effort to share what I've learned with my colleagues in Congress and do my best to infuse some common sense into Washington policymaking.

Corn trade has been lightly lower in slow trade this week. Position squaring ahead of the USDA Supply and Demand report was noted for the slow trade early. The outside market influence has been supportive, which has limited downside. Crude is up $1.87, the dollar is 37 lower, and the DOW is 66 lower for the week. On the report, the total old crop use was increased by 135 million bushels and new crop demand increased by 110 million while leaving production items unchanged. The new crop carryover was down to 1.573 million tons versus the 1.818 May number, this was below the range of expectations. World carryover was dropped by 7 million tons, with production down 4 million tons. The good crop conditions and potential for a higher yield will still prevent this market from becoming bullish long-term. Domestic weather will continue to be the focus. For now, there is some concern regarding potential flooding in parts of South Dakota and Missouri along with some localized areas in Nebraska and Kansas, but growing conditions remain friendly overall with no major heat event expected. There are some longer term weather forecasts voicing concerns surrounding the transition from El Nino to La Nina this summer, but the recent moisture should provide for adequate soil moisture up to the start of pollination. The weekly export sales were reported at 1.018 million tons of old crop and new crop sales were 143,500; combined they were above expectations. On the weekly progress report, corn emergence was listed at 94%. The crop ratings were up 1% versus last week at 76% good to excellent. Pasture ratings are at 72% good to excellent up 2% from last week and up 12% from a year ago; this implies a reduced feed usage. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been lower this week due to chart selling, long liquidation and limited buying interest ahead of harvest. After three days of trade, the weekly net changes are 7 lower in both Chicago and KC, and Minneapolis is down 6. There are still some protein concerns with the upcoming crop which should limit downside, and there has been some discussion this week about rust damage in parts of Kansas but the fundamental picture remains bearish. The USDA confirmed our bigger picture bearish supply side items on the Supply and Demand report Thursday. Old crop carryover was reduced to 930 million bushels, but new crop was up to 991 million due to a higher production number and limited usage increases. The global carryover estimate was dropped to 193.93 versus 198.09 million tons on the May report. But overall the big supply side items remain in place. On the weekly progress report, spring wheat plantings were listed at 90% complete versus 82% a year ago and the 94% 5-year average. The winter wheat progress has 84% of the crop headed versus the 86% 5-year average. Harvest progress was listed at 3% complete versus the 6% 5-year average. The winter wheat ratings were up 1% to 66% good to excellent. Spring wheat ratings slipped to 84% good to excellent versus last week's 85%, but are still significantly better than the 73% seen a year ago. The weekly export sales were reported at 118,300 tons of old crop, but no new crop sales were reported. Hedgers call with questions, continue to look forward at the carry in the futures for opportunities in 2011 and 2012.

Soybean trade has been mixed due to bull spreading this week. The weekly net change is 8 higher on the July contract and November is down 4. Meal is $8.30 higher and oil is up 3 points. The chart trend continues to be negative with trade consolidated around the $9 area on the November new crop contract. The May November lows, at $8.93, have held as support this week, but the market did drop below this level briefly. The USDA Supply and Demand report was released on Thursday. The old crop carryover was inline with expectations at 185 million bushels, versus the 190 million May USDA number. The new crop carryover was also inline with expectations at 360 million bushels. The global carryover was increased by .90 to 66.99 million tons, which remains a very large global carryover that limits the factual fundamental reason for beans to rally at this time. As long as weather remains favorable, the fundamental trend should remain bearish; selling interest on rallies should continue. The weekly export sales numbers came in at 420,600 tons of old crop and new crop sales were 130,000 tons. Meal sales were 49,700 tons of old crop and new crop sales were 24,400 tons. Soybean oil sales were 12,200 tons of old crop. On the weekly progress report, soybean planting was inline with the 5-year average at 84% complete versus 76% a year ago. Soybean emergence remains just above the average pace at 66%. The soybean crop ratings were very good at 75% good to excellent versus most expectations around 66%-69% and 66% a year ago. If weather remains good it will be hard to rally the market near-term; the outside markets need to give us positive commodity influence to avoid further downside. Hedgers call with questions.

Heartland Express - Tractor Pull
June 10, 2010
History of the Tractor Pull It is said that around the 1860s when farming machines were pulled by horse, farmers would boast about the strength of their horses. They would claim that their horse could tow large loads, such as a fully loaded hay cart or wagon. Farmers would challenge one another to contests to prove who had the strongest horse. A barn door was removed and laid flat on the ground, and the horse was then hitched to it, the farmer would then urge the horse to drag the barn door along the ground. One by one, people jumped on the door until the horse could no longer drag it; the horse pulling the most people the greatest distance was judged the strongest. This event, called horse pulling, is still carried out today with specially bred horses trained to have high strength and low stamina. Instead of people, fixed weights on sleds are dragged as far as possible. While it is said that the term horsepower is derived from this event, in reality the term was coined by James Watt. It wasn't until 1929 that motorized vehicles

were put to use in the first events at Bowling Green, Missouri and Vaughansville, Ohio. Although the sport was recognized then, it did not really become popular until the 50s and 60s. It was also realized, at that time, there were no uniform set of rules. The rules varied from state to state, county to county, and competitors never knew what standards to follow. This made the sport difficult for new entrants. In 1969, representatives from eight states congregated to create a uniform book of rules to give the sport the much needed structure, and created the National Tractor Pullers Association(NTPA). The NTPA's early years were events that used standard farm vehicles, with the motto "Pull on Sunday, plow on Monday". Pulling remained basically the same through the 70s, with only stock and modified tractors. Stock tractors were commercially available tractors produced by manufacturers, and modified tractors were the basic tractor chassis with another non-tractor engine mounted on it.
Rumble in the Dirt Tractor Pull
Tractors remained single engine until two Ohio brothers, Carl and Paul Bosse, introduced the crossbox which could allow multiple engines to be attached to a single driveshaft. Other innovators during this period included Bruce Hutcherson, with his triple Rodeck engine powered "Makin Bacon Special", and the "Mission Impossible" tractors of Tim Engler, which at one point had seven blown alcohol engines on board. Subsequently, modified tractors with four engines were common, while stock tractors tried to catch up by adding intercooled turbochargers, but both retained the appearance of a tractor. Soon tractors became single use machines that were not used on the farm, making the "Pull on Sunday, plow on Monday" motto obsolete. Throughout the 70s and 80s the modified division continued to thrill crowds by adding more engines, and soon the tractors lost their tractor appearance and turned into high 'spec' dragsters. The limit was reached in 1988 when a tractor with seven engines was built. As well as piston engines, jet engines appeared in 1974, with a four jet engined unit in 1989. The growing popularity of the sport caused the creation of a new four-wheel drive division in Continued on page 18

Mixed Developments Reported for Nation's Corn Exports "For the current marketing year that runs through August 2010, the USDA projects U.S. corn exports at 1.95 billion bushels. That projection is 92 million bushels larger than exports during the previous marketing year. The projection is about equal to average exports of the previous 10 years that have ranged from 1.588 billion bushels in 2002-03 to 2.437 billion bushels in 2007-08. "With one quarter remaining in the marketing year, there is mixed evidence of the likelihood of reaching the USDA's export projection," said University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good. The U.S. Census Bureau provides the official export estimates on a monthly basis, with about a six-week lag. Current Census Bureau estimates for the 2009-10 corn marketing year are available through March 2010. The USDA provides weekly estimates of exports and export sales. From September 2009 through March 2010, cumulative export estimates exceeded cumulative export inspection estimates by 69 million bushels. "If that margin persisted through May 27, cumulative exports would have totaled 1.401 billion bushels," Good said. "To reach the USDA projection of 1.95 billion for the year, exports during the final 13.7 weeks of the marketing year need to average about 40 million bushels per week." While export inspections underestimate actual exports, inspections have exceeded 40 million bushels in only nine weeks during the first 38.4 weeks of the marketing year and have averaged only 34.7 million bushels per week during that period. Inspections have been relatively large since mid-February, averaging just over 37.8 million per week. However, inspections averaged 46.1 million per week for the two weeks ending May 27. "A rapid pace will have to be maintained if the USDA projection is to be reached," Good said. "While the pace of shipments has been slow relative to that needed to reach the USDA projection, the pace of new sales has been rapid since the beginning of April," he added. As of May 20, the USDA reported that 444.5 million bushels of corn have been sold for export during the current marketing year, but not yet shipped. That compares to unshipped sales of
379.4 million bushels on the same date last year. Unshipped sales as of May 20 included unexpected sales of 23.4 million bushels to China, 108.3 million bushels to Japan, 60 million to South Korea, 63.4 million to Mexico, and 66.3 million to unknown destinations. "Assuming that no unshipped sales are canceled, new sales need to total only 104.4 million bushels in order for total export commitments for the year to reach 1.95 billion bushels," Good said. "That is an average of 7.6 million per week for the remaining 13.7 weeks of the year." New sales during the eight weeks ending May 20 averaged 49.7 million bushels per week. "It appears almost certain that export sales will exceed that needed to reach projected exports for the year," Good said. "It is less certain that shipments will reach the projected level. Along with weekly USDA export estimates, the Census Bureau export estimate for April, to be released next week, will provide more information about that likelihood. "Presumably, any unshipped export sales at the end of the 2009-10 marketing year will be rolled into the 2010-11 marketing year." Sales for the 2010-11 marketing year have started slowly, totaling 43.3 million bushels as of May 20. New marketing year sales totaled 57.4 million bushels on the same date last year. For the upcoming marketing year, the USDA projects U.S. corn exports at 2 billion bushels. According to Good, the modest increase reflects expectations for a 4 percent, or 782-million-bushel, increase in foreign corn production. More than half of that increase is expected in China. "The recent surge in corn export sales adds to the generally positive developments for corn demand that include favorable ethanol blending margins and higher livestock prices," Good said. "Those developments, however, have not resulted in sustained price strength for corn. In addition to continued slow economic recovery, corn prices have been kept in check by expectations for another very large U.S. crop in 2010. That crop is just entering the important stages of the growing season, with the National Weather Service providing a generally favorable outlook for June weather."

June is Dairy Month
Pictured (L to R) – Ginger Langemeier, Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy, Chandra Mosel, Dwaine Junck, Olivia Wolfe and Doug Temme Governor Heineman signed a proclamation declaring June as Dairy Month in Nebraska. A special ceremony was held at Hiland-Roberts in Norfolk on Thursday, June 3, 2010. Attendees received a tour of the Hiland-Roberts plant, celebrated with a Dairy Farmer Appreciation Lunch and the event culminated with the reading of the official proclamation by Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy. Ginger Langemeier, Assistant Director of Agriculture provided comments along with Carroll, Nebraska dairy farmer Dwaine Junck, Chairman of the American Dairy Association/Dairy Council of Nebraska board and Wayne, Nebraska dairy farmer Doug Temme, President of the Nebraska State Dairy Association. In attendance was the Nebraska Dairy Princess, Olivia Wolfe of Kearney and Alternate Nebraska Dairy Princess, Chandra Mosel of Neligh. The 2010 June Dairy Month Proclamation and ceremony marks the 11th consecutive year the Governor has officially proclaimed June as Dairy Month in Nebraska. In 1998, Governor Nelson designated milk as the Official Beverage of Nebraska. Nebraska’s ten leading agricultural commodities for cash receipts are cattle and calves, corn, soybeans, hogs, wheat, chicken eggs, dairy products, hay, dry beans and sorghum grain. These represent 98 percent of the state’s total cash receipts. The American Dairy Association/Dairy Council of Nebraska contributes to optimal health through leadership in nutrition research and education by encouraging food selection patterns that include dairy foods and other major food categories in accordance with scientific recommendations. The organization also performs advertising, public relations, and retail promotions on behalf of Nebraska dairy producers. For more information, visit www.nebmilk.org.

Big Mac More Than Three-fourths Full and Rising Wet weather continues to raise inflows, delay releases for irrigation By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Wet weather and water releases from upstream reservoirs in the Platte Basin have helped Lake McConaughy exceed 75 percent full and helped keep it filling. Civil Engineer Cory Steinke told the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District Board of Directors Monday that the lake still could go up another two feet during June. As of Monday morning, McConaughy held 1.32 million acre-feet of water, or 422,000 more than at this time last year. It's also 18.8 feet higher. May inflows were 130 percent of Steinke's projections. He said inflows have be averaging 1,850 cubic feet per second, but were at 3,140 cfs on Monday. Most of the water is the "spill" from Glendo Reservoir on the North Platte River in Wyoming, which is in flood stage. Rainfall in both the North and South Platte basins continues to run downstream at a time when Nebraska irrigation districts have delayed diversions because of wet weather. "So, we have another good 15 days at least of these good inflows, maybe more," Steinke said. Meanwhile, only about 600 cfs are being released from Lake McConaughy for Nebraska Public Power District operations and another downstream irrigation district. Central irrigation deliveries were scheduled to begin today, but Irrigation Division Manager Dave Ford said he's not aware of any customers taking water. Some water was delivered to a few pivot irrigation systems earlier this spring. It has been even wetter in the Nebraska Panhandle upstream of Lake McConaughy. Steinke said irrigation officials there told him it's still too wet to plant beans in some areas. In other CNPPID irrigation business, Ford reported on annual spring groundwater measurements taken from observation wells within the district's surface water delivery area. Of 155 wells, 94 showed an average 1-foot rise since spring 2009. "You'll see that a number of them are around Elwood Reservoir and to the west, with the filling (since last fall)," Ford said. Seepage from the lake recharges groundwater in that part of Gosper County. Ford said the trend for the past three years has been for more groundwater increases than deple-
tions throughout the Central District project area. However, the 10-year spring-to-spring comparison shows more declines that are linked to drought early in the decade and farmers' greater reliance on groundwater irrigation the past five years while CNPPID had surface water allocations because of low water levels in Lake McConaughy. "That's skewed around Elwood because we went five years without filling it completely," Ford said. There are fewer wells to compare 2010 to a 1981-1985 base, he said, but the basic pattern shows increases of 15 feet in many wells along the E-65 canal service area in Gosper County and average declines of 6-7 feet in Holdrege-FunkAxtell area wells. In other business Monday, CNPPID Public Relations Manager Tim Anderson said it likely will take Gov. Dave Heineman a month or two to decide whether to approve a Nebraska Game and Parks Commission board's recommendation to lift a ban on alcohol use at state parks.
"We sent a letter opposing lifting the ban, and they voted 8-1 to repeal it," Anderson said. "... Law enforcement is very, very disappointed." During testimony by repeal opponents at the recent Game and Parks meeting in Gering, Lake McConaughy was used an example of the problems with alcohol use at state recreation areas prior to the ban. Anderson said the Keith County sheriff told stories about past alcohol use and abuse at the lake "that I thought would be hard for the commissioners to ignore." Anderson said he'll continue to talk with other opponents of lifting the ban. Also in the coming months, he'll discuss possible 2011 legislation with other water, power, conservation and irrigation groups and meet with candidates for the Nebraska Legislature. He said that with term limits and the turnover in the Unicameral now, it's essential to start early to educate prospective senators on such issues.

Soybean Checkoff Capitalizing on Growing Aquaculture Markets Soybean meal takes to the lakes, rivers and seas, as well as the barns and feedlots, as the prominent poultry and livestock feed grows in popularity in fish and shrimp diets as well. The growing demand for commercially raised aquatic products presents significant opportunity for soy-based aquaculture feeds for fish and shrimp species. Currently, the greatest demand for soy use in aquaculture rests in the China freshwater sector, which produces 63 percent of global aquaculture. Estimates show the Chinese aquaculture industry uses up to 6.5 million metric tons, or the equivalent of 280 million bushels of soybeans. “The amount of soybean meal used for aquaculture in China exceeds the soybean production of Nebraska,” says Mike Thede, United Soybean Board (USB) director and a soybean farmer from Palmer, NE. “The soybean checkoff continues to work to expand the aquaculture industries in other areas, such as Southeast Asia, Central America and the Middle East.” Soy-based feeds and production technologies developed in China and through collaborative research with the soybean checkoff are currently being used in 18 countries. Some of the aquaculture technologies developed in China include: • A pond production system that produces a single fed species, together in the same pond ecosystem as another species that lives off other organic matter in the ecosystem for maximum efficiency. • A cage technology that is sustainable and environmentally friendly for lakes and rivers. • An ocean cage technology that is storm resistant and allows fish to be raised in cleaner offshore environments. “The whole fish-feeding industry is in its infancy, and we’re still determining soy inclusion levels in diets and market opportunities for many species,” says Thede. “Global demand for seafood continues to increase, with the United States consuming about $15 billion worth of seafood annually. At the same time, the wild catch of seafood is leveling off or decreasing, so there is a large opportunity for aquaculture.”
The challenges of a reduced wild catch affect the cost and supply of fish meal for aquatic diets. Increased costs of fish meal, as well as other plant ingredients, like canola meal and cotton meal, mean more soy products will be used in aquaculture this year. The increased use of soy protein concentrate (SPC), a product with higher protein levels than soybean meal, will allow even more soy to be fed to fish and shrimp, as more fish and shrimp producers become aware of the advantages of using SPC to partially or completely replace fish meal for different fish species and shrimp. Estimated SPC production for 2010 will be about 30,000 tons, according to the U.S. Soybean Export Council, which carries out checkoff-funded aquaculture promotion efforts abroad. “Protein levels for fish nutrition are much higher than what we would expect for poultry and livestock, so SPC allows us to develop aquafeeds that meet the nutrient requirements of a number of species of fish and shrimp that have a limited tolerance for soybean meal,” says Thede. The success of the soy in aquaculture program shows another example of USB working with state soybean checkoff boards to leverage checkoff dollars for the best results. State soybean checkoff boards from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, South Dakota, Ohio, and Minnesota have all partnered with USB to fund aquaculture-related research and international marketing efforts. “The work on soy in aquaculture has only begun,” says Thede. “We expect to see continued expansion of the aquaculture industry in Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Thailand, India and other markets.” USB is made up of 68 farmer-directors who oversee the investments of the soybean checkoff on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. Checkoff funds are invested in the areas of animal utilization, human utilization, industrial utilization, industry relations, market access and supply. As stipulated in the Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff.
Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program June marks the official start for the Nebraska Department of Agriculture’s (NDA) Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP). In its tenth year, the program provides low-income senior citizens with coupons to purchase, at no cost, locally grown, fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and honey from NDA certified produce vendors. This year, NDA received $253,365 in the form of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) grant money for the program. “This program continues to be popular in Nebraska and provides us with an excellent opportunity to reach our state’s low-income senior citizens. We are expecting more than 5,000 people to take advantage of this year’s program,” said NDA Director Greg Ibach. “This program is a win-win for everyone, because it not only benefits the lowincome seniors, but also the produce growers who are certified to accept the coupons.” SFMNP, established as a pilot program in 2000, and re-authorized in the 2007 Farm Bill, provides low-income seniors with coupons that can be exchanged for fresh produce and honey at farmers' markets, roadside stands, and U-pick operations. SFMNP is intended to provide fresh, nutritious, locally grown fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey to low-income seniors and to increase the consumption of agricultural commodities by expanding or aiding in the development of farmers' markets and other outlets. Nebraska's SFMNP is a joint effort between NDA, Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Medicaid and Long-Term Care – State Unit on Aging, Nebraska DHHS Commodity Supplemental Food Program, Nebraska Area Agencies on Aging, and the Nebraska Senior Centers. Coupons are available to low-income seniors, during the month of June, from their local senior centers. Free copies of the “Your Guide to Nebraska Fresh Produce,” which identifies the locations of Nebraska's farmers' markets, roadside stands, and U-pick operations, are available from NDA by calling 800-422-6692, or visiting www.agr.ne.gov.

on weekends, Rhyder would play football on Friday nights, come home, load horses, and head out to rodeos yet that night. It was, in his words, “go to school, go to football practice, go home, rope, go to sleep, wake up, lift (weights)” and start all over again. He chose not to play football his senior year, wanting to be “at the top of my game” for rodeo. In place of football practice, he would go home and practice his roping. The position of president has matured the 18 year old. He has become a better speaker, says his mom, Monique. “He’s more outspoken in his government and debate classes.” His peers in the rodeo association call him the “silent leader,” he says. “I’d let things go on till something needed to be said, and if something needed to be done, I’d make sure it got done.” Rhyder is the only male on the board, serving with three girls. “We don’t talk much about sports,” he quips. The role has also allowed him to do some traveling. Representing the association, he spent time at Denver’s Western and English Continued on page 18

There’s a young cowboy in Doniphan who represents about 1,200 high school kids across the nation. Rhyder Nelson is the prseident of the National High School Rodeo Association, the sanctioning organization of high school rodeo in 44 states and four provinces. Nelson, who graduated from Doniphan High School this past May, was elected to the position in July of 2009. A friend, Wyatt Clark, of Wellfleet, Neb., who had held the same position two years ago, convinced him to run for election. Six girls- no other boys- ran for the same office, and Rhyder won. His job as president? To represent high school rodeo. “Wherever we’d go, we showed that these are the kinds of kids that rodeo produces,” Rhyder said. He also served as an advocate for high school rodeo athletes with voting rights on all decisions. He not only serves in an office in the NHSRA, he competes. Rhyder is a calf roper, steer wrestler and team roper in the Nebraska State High School Rodeo Association, where he’s currently ranked first in the team roping, third in the steer wrestling, and fifth in the calf roping. To say the young man is focused and a hard worker is an understatement. He played basketball all four years of high school and football three of them. He competes in 4-H rodeo and shows horses. Football presented the biggest time challenge for him. With high school rodeos

runoff from all production areas, including feed storage areas. 3. Are you controlling runoff from manure/bedding stockpiles? These stockpiles are considered part of a facility’s production area even if they are located outside the facility’s footprint. Care should be taken to prevent runoff from discharging into nearby rivers and streams. 4. Is your facility medium sized? If your operation conveys runoff from the production area through a man-made ditch, flushing system or other similar man-made device, then you need to obtain a permit or stop the discharge. 5. It is important to read your National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and implement its requirements. 6. Are you counting animals correctly? Both EPA and state regulatory agencies require that species in open lots be counted together with similar species in confinement for the purposes of determining your size status as a CAFO. Also, if your operation confines enough animals of one species to be considered a large CAFO, then all animals at the operation must be counted and runoff from these areas must be contained. 7. Maintain complete and accurate animal inventory records. One of the first things an inspector does is determine your CAFO status by looking at the number of animals that have been confined at your facility. This determination can take time if the right records are not readily available. 8. If you have an NPDES permit, you cannot expand operations beyond the capacity listed in your current permit without authorization from the state regulatory agency. Continued on page 22

If you own a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), you have probably heard about EPA’s inspection and enforcement activities in Region 7. These activities are part of an increased national emphasis aimed at ending harmful discharges of pollutants from CAFOs into rivers and streams. Having EPA show up at your facility for an inspection can sometimes be a daunting experience. Inspections are very comprehensive and typically cover all aspects of a facility's operation. EPA inspectors routinely perform walk-throughs of production and land application areas, review records and collect samples. To assist producers in preparing for inspections, EPA offers the following 10 tips to help ensure operations are in compliance. 1. Are you discharging? Answering this question is one of the primary purposes of an EPA CAFO inspection. Owners and operators of CAFOs should evaluate their facilities to determine if any runoff is getting into nearby rivers and streams. If you are discharging, contact the state regulatory agency to determine waste controls and permit requirements. 2. Are you controlling runoff from feed storage areas? CAFOs are required to control
Pinkeye is a highly contagious infectious disease affecting the eyes of cattle. The name describes the redness and inflammation of the lining of the eyelid and eyeball, an early sign of the disease. This common disease can vary in its severity from year to year. Although pinkeye rarely causes the death of affected cattle; it can cause substantial losses to the cattle industry through decreased weight gain, lowered milk production and treatment costs. Pinkeye is known to occur at all seasons of the year and in all breeds of cattle. Pinkeye can occur in one or both eyes. Excessive weeping of the affected eye and closure due to pain are the two signs most commonly observed. As the disease progresses, the cornea becomes cloudy or white. An ulcer frequently develops near the center of the cornea. Blood vessels often extend into the cornea from the white of the eye as the healing processes begin. Cattle with pinkeye keep the affected eye or eyes closed because of pain and to avoid bright sunlight. The course of the infection may run for 4 to 8 weeks, or even longer. As the eye begins to heal, white scar tissue infiltrates the cornea. In most cases this scar will gradually disappear as healing progresses and vision will be restored. However, in severely affected eyes, a white scar often persists and interferes with vision. If the ulceration is severe enough to penetrate all layers of cells forming the cornea, the fluid in the eyeball will escape. This results in the iris and/or lens protruding partially or entirely through the ulceration. If this occurs, there will be permanent blindness in the affected eye. Pinkeye is primarily caused by Moraxella bovis (M. bovis) however veterinarians have also found that Mycoplasma bovoculi and IBR virus are capable of causing an eye infection resembling pinkeye. Other factors instrumental in causing eye irritation, thereby allowing for invasion of M. bovis and subsequent disease, are excessive ultraviolet light (sunlight), the face fly, the house fly, the stable fly, plant material and dust. Plant material such as cool and warm season grasses, hybrid Sudan grass and other forage sorghums, weeds and brush produce air-borne irritants, pollen and chaff, as well as serve as mechanical irritants. When animals eat out the middle of round bales, leaving a hay shelf over their heads, the incidence of foreign body irritation is greatly increased. The same situation occurs when hay is fed in overhead feeders. This is especially true with wheat hay or hay containing cheat grass. The face fly has been associated with an increased incidence of pinkeye in recent years. Research at the University of Nebraska's West Central Research and Extension Center has demonstrated that face fly feeding produces mechanical injury to the conjunctiva and spreads IBR virus and Moraxella bovis from animal to animal as the fly feeds on eye and nose secretions of cattle. Flies not only serve as irritants as they feed on secretions from the eye; they also serve as a means of transmitting M. bovis from infected to non-infected animals. Face flies can remain infected with M. bovis up to 3 days following feeding on infected material. Under experimental conditions, disease transmission is uncommon without the presence of face flies and is common with flies present. The infection can also be spread by direct contact when the eye secretions of an infected animal are rubbed into the eye of an uninfected animal. Vitamin A deficiency and inadequate protein intake may be other factors that possibly contribute to lessened resistance to eye infections. Vitamin A deficiency results in excessive watering of the eye, night blindness, and may cause cloudiness of the cornea in severe cases, giving the eyeball a dry, lusterless appearance. Pinkeye is caused by a combination of factors. Continued on page 18

Lean hog trade has been lower this week due to chart selling and long liquidation. After three days of trade, the weekly net change is $1.68 lower on the June contract and July is down $1.55. The low on Friday was nearly $9 below the high printed in late April, so negative items should be priced-in. Cash trade is called steady to $.50 lower today; packers are rumored to be short bought but the absence of aggressive weekend kill plans suggests otherwise. Hog weights are up 3 pounds versus this time last year which could also explain the lackluster packer buying. Current cash hog prices suggest the futures have a little more downside potential, but now we are looking at support in the $73-5 area and resistance up at $80-2 as a range for summer contracts. Hedgers call with questions.

Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to continued long liquidation and slipping processor margins. Heading into Thursday, the weekly net change is $.130 lower on the June contract and August is down $1.15. Cash trade has been slow to develop this week, but it is called $1 lower at $93; asking prices still remain firm at $95/$155. The cutout finished lower on Wednesday with choice down $1.75 at $156.81 and select was down $1.85 at $148.26. This will continue to promote ideas of lower cash trade. Funds have been big net sellers this week, but the open interest is still near 100,000 con-
tracts, so the market is still susceptible to further downside. The chart continues to look negative with both June and August below the 200-day moving average. Hedgers call with questions.

Ethanol plants in 2008 used an average of 25,859 Btu of thermal energy and 0.74 kWh of electricity per gallon of ethanol produced " that's 28 and 32 percent less than 2001, respectively. Ethanol per bushel of corn, meanwhile, increased 5.3 percent to 2.78 gallons per bushel. According to the survey, many older dry mill ethanol plants installed energy efficiency retrofits during that time period. "Like corn farmers, who continuously strive to produce more corn with fewer inputs, ethanol
plants get more efficient and productive over time," Klein said. "Regulations and fuel standards should not be implemented without taking that into consideration." The survey also showed that a dry mill corn ethanol plant in 2008 produced 5.3 pounds of dried distillers grains and 2.15 pounds of wet distillers grains per gallon of ethanol produced. On a perbushel basis, that is 20.7 pounds of total distillers grains produced per bushel of corn converted into ethanol.
HISTORY OF THE TRACTOR PULL Continued from page 10 1976, which captured a large fan base. The engine sizes in these vehicles continued to increase, from 450 cubic inches/7.3 liters up to 700/11.5 and probably would have continued, but the NTPA limited it to 650/10.6 naturally aspirated and no blown engine in 1989. Today the 4-wheel drive division is one of the most popular with the success of trucks like the Holman Brothers "4-Play" Chevy and Bob Boden's "Studley Studebaker". Blown engines were allowed, but only in the new 1986 division of two-wheel drives or "funny cars" as the ATPA/PPL called them. Three other divisions were created. The super stock, pro-stock and the mini-modified, which is a

SILENT LEADER FITS COWBOY Continued from page 15 Association Sales Market, speaking with rodeo sponsors, and he got to try alligator for the first time at meetings in Louisiana. He traveled to Las Vegas for pro rodeo, and spent time in Lexington, Kentucky, also. Rhyder will compete at the Nebraska State High School Finals Rodeo in Hastings June 23-26 in all three of his events. He hopes to earn a berth to the National High School Finals Rodeo in July, where he was elected a year ago. He’ll step down as president at that rodeo, and he says he’ll miss it. “There are a lot of good people I met in the high school association,” he says. This fall, Rhyder will attend Southeast Oklahoma State University in Durant on a rodeo scholarship, with an eye on a pre-medicine degree. He is considering becoming a chiropractor. He’ll compete on Southeast’s rodeo school in all three of his events, and might consider pro rodeo competition, depending on how school goes. He is the son of Rod and Monique Nelson. Rhyder has an older sister, Neilee, and a younger brother, Rhett.

Dry, dusty environmental conditions or wet, warm environmental conditions play a role. In wet, warm conditions such as many parts of Nebraska experienced this year can lead to overgrowth of pastures. The taller grass and seedheads can damage the eyes. The wet, warm conditions also lead to heavier fly populations that irritate the eyes and spread the organisms. A good control program should incorporate procedures to reduce initial eye irritation. An intensive fly control program is essential to limit the spread of pinkeye in a herd of cattle. Cattle often have grass or weed seeds in their eyes, and these materials no doubt irritate the eye and contribute to the development of pinkeye. Cattle with pinkeye can be helped by prompt treatment. Since the
cornea heals slowly, any ulceration is likely to require several weeks for complete recovery. There are medications available for treating pinkeye. However, many of the most effective pinkeye treatments must be recommended by a veterinarian with whom you have a valid veterinary-clientpatient relationship. This is because the medications are only available by prescription or because the dose or route of administration is not on the label. Also, at least a part of the decision on how to treat pinkeye is what kind of restraint is available and how frequently cattle can be treated. There are other infections that look like pinkeye so it is recommended that you consult with your veterinarian to assist you in the diagnosis and treatment of pinkeye.

TEN TIPS TO PREPARE FOR EPA CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS INSPECTIONS Continued from page 16 9. Maintain lagoon berms free of trees, shrubs and erosion features and follow pump-down level requirements for lagoons to maintain adequate storage levels. 10. Maintain records for land application of manure solids and liquids and follow a nutrient management plan/manure management plan in the application of any manure. These records are vital to demonstrating that you are implementing appropriate land application practices.

WIND ENERGY GROWTH KEY TO NEBRASKA ECONOMIC FUTURE Continued from page 1 Wind power conference coming to Kearney The Nebraska Wind Power 2010 Conference will be held in Kearney at the new Younes Conference Center Nov. 9-10. The event is sponsored by the Nebraska Wind Working Group (NWWG), a state and federal partnership funded by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind Powering America to help develop the state's wind resources. The two-day conference will focus on Nebraska's future wind energy development challenges and opportunities, including the recently passed LB1048 that clarifies the roles and responsibilities between private sector developers, public power, and the Power Review Board for wind-generated electricity for export, according to John Hansen, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union. As the blueprints of Nebraska's wind energy industry begin development, the IHS study forecasts anywhere from 6.3-7.1 GW of wind could be installed in 2010, 40 to 60 percent lower than 2009 installations. According to the IHS, 2010 marks the first time since 2004 that the U.S. wind industry will not surpass the previous year's growth level. Despite unprecedented federal wind incentives, IHS said, "reverberations from the financial crisis continue to create a difficult nearterm market landscape especially in light of continued energy policy uncertainty." However, the U.S. wind market is poised to emerge from this near-term uncertainty with a clearer path toward strong future growth," according to IHS Senior Analyst Matthew Kaplan, one of the study's authors. Kaplan said the U.S. wind industry will represent $330 billion in investments between 2010 and 2025, with more than 90 percent stemming from onshore wind, according to the study's projections. The Midwest, Great Plains and Rocky Mountain states will act as major wind export hubs to areas with large appetites for renewables, including California, the MidAtlantic and the South. While the U.S. is closer than ever to tapping into its enormous offshore potential with the expected completion of the Cape Wind project in 2013, offshore is expected to account for only 5 percent of total U.S. wind energy built in 2025. "The unprecedented decline in power demand and electricity and natural gas prices has had a profound effect on utility willingness to ink power purchase agreements," said Kaplan. Despite their large build years in 2009, he said leading independent power producers EDP Horizon and NextEra Energy Resources have
slashed wind build expectations exemplifying near-term challenges. As heightened transmission congestion and waning utility demand for wind have strained growth in traditional "wind hot spots," including Texas, Minnesota and California, developers have been forced to prospect states with less prolific resources and more arduous development conditions. "Transmission remains one of the greatest barriers to the development of U.S. wind projects. Coordinated national policies will be necessary to more efficiently link the U.S.' vast wind resources to high-demand regions. However, even with enabling policies, there will be a lag of several years for projects to become operational," said Kaplan. "A national renewable energy standard or federal energy policy legislation along with a streamlined transmission siting and cost allocation process are the essential ingredients to building a robust future U.S. wind market."
Nebraska is ranked as one of the top five windenergy-potential states Energy consumption growing considerably While wind-energy growth this year may be flat, the U.S. Energy Information Administration's International Energy Outlook 2010, which was recently released, said world marketed energy consumption will grow 49 percent between 2007 and 2035, driven by economic growth in the developing nations of the world. "Renewables are the fastest growing source of world energy supply, but fossil fuels are still set to meet more than three-fourths of total energy needs in 2035 assuming current policies are unchanged," said EIA Administrator Richard Newell. Newell said the global economic recession that began in 2007 and continued into 2009 has had a profound impact on near-term prospects for world energy demand. According to the 2010 Outlook report, total marketed energy consumption contracted by 1.2 percent in 2008 and by an estimated 2.2 percent in 2009, as manufacturing and consumer demand for goods and services declined. The report said average world oil prices increased strongly from 2003 to mid-July 2008, then declined sharply over the rest of 2008. In 2009, oil prices again trended upward and this
trend continues, with prices rising to $108 per barrel by 2020 (in real 2008 dollars) and $133 per barrel by 2035. Total liquid fuels consumption projected for 2035 is 28 percent or 24.5 million barrels per day higher than the 2007 level of 86.1 million barrels per day, according to EIA. Conventional oil supplies from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) contribute 11.5 million barrels per day to the total increase in world liquid fuels production, and conventional supplies from non-OPEC countries add another 4.8 million barrels per day. World production of unconventional resources (including biofuels, oil sands, extra-heavy oil, coal-to-liquids, and gas-to-liquids), which totaled 3.4 million barrels per day in 2007, increases nearly fourfold to 12.9 million barrels per day in 2035. Other findings Other report highlights include: Petroleum and other liquid fuels remain the largest energy source worldwide through 2035, though projected higher oil prices erode their share of total energy use from 35 percent in 2007 to 30 percent in 2035. World natural gas consumption increases 1.3 percent per year, from 108 trillion cubic feet in 2007 to 156 trillion cubic feet in 2035. Tight gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane supplies increase substantially, especially from the United States, but also from Canada and China. In the absence of additional national policies and/or binding international agreements that would limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions, world coal consumption is projected to increase from 132 quadrillion Btu in 2007 to 206 quadrillion Btu in 2035, at an average annual rate of 1.6 percent. China alone accounts for 78 percent of the total net increase in world coal use from 2007 to 2035. World net electricity generation increases by 87 percent, from 18.8 trillion kilowatthours in 2007 to 35.2 trillion kilowatthours in 2035. Renewables are the fastest growing source of new electricity generation, increasing by 3 percent per year followed by coal-fired generation, which increases by 2.3 percent per year. Almost 20 percent of the world's total delivered energy is used for transportation, most of it in the form of liquid fuels.Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rise from 29.7 billion metric tons in 2007 to 42.4 billion metric tons in 2035 " an increase of 43 percent. Much of the increase in carbon dioxide emissions is projected to occur among the developing nations of the world, especially in Asia.

WHAT IF LOCALLY RAISED CHICKENS SIMPLY DIDN’T EXIST?
Who would step up to replace livestock and poultry producers as the number one customer for U.S. soy? Where would we get the meat that is responsible for providing most of the protein necessary to feed the world? And how would we replace the millions of tax dollars they generate to help create new roads, repair existing ones and build new schools and parks? Animal agriculture helps your rural community thrive. That’s why it’s important that we all continue to give them our support. Because a safe and secure food supply and a safe and secure rural community both come from the same place – inside the barns and out in the fields of your rural neighbors. Soybean farmers helping livestock and poultry producers just makes sense.
