Classifieds By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub GRAND ISLAND - A landowner's lawsuit filed in Hall County District Court to challenge the constitutionality of the Central Platte Natural Resources District's groundwater use rules and regulations has implications for all of Nebraska's NRDs. CPNRD General Manager Ron Bishop described the dispute to his board on Thursday. He said Les Denning of Central City had drilled an irrigation well before the district established a moratorium on net new irrigated acres, but did not irrigate the land prior to the moratorium taking effect. Denning's appeal to the board for a variance was denied, so he has filed the lawsuit challenging CPNRD's authority to impose its limits. All of the state's NRDs have rules governing water and land uses. Many also have moratoriums on wells or net new irrigated acres, and
most of the Republican Basin is under irrigation water allocations. NRD rules in the Republican Basin NRDs are tied to Republican River Compact compliance requirements. Central and western Nebraska NRDs use some rules to meet Endangered Species Act requirements being addressed basinwide by the three-state Platte River Recovery Implementation Program. CPNRD's insurance carrier will pay a Lincoln attorney to represent the district in the Denning lawsuit. However, Bishop was authorized by the board on Thursday to also retain the district's regular counsel, Cathy Allen of Grand Island, who is most familiar with the rules and regulations, and water law expert Don Blankenau of Lincoln. "It won't be cheap, but we don't have much choice," Bishop said, adding that he will see if other NRDs that could be affected by a ruling in the case will help pay the legal costs.

Also Thursday, the board approved by an 11-6 vote, with five directors absent, amendments to the rules and regulations for groundwater use in fully appropriated and overappropriated areas. There was a lengthy discussion about one change that requires land with poorer soils, from which groundwater use is being transferred, to be seeded to grass. An amendment to also allow that land to be no-till farmed with methods approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service failed on a 106 vote. "Class 6e soils are 6e because they are prone to erode," Bishop said, especially if they no longer are being irrigated, so a grass cover is better. After several speakers questioned the accuracy of soil survey maps, NRCS District Conservationist James Huntwork of Grand Island

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report Summer conditions, including heat and severe thunderstorms, dominated much of the past two weeks. Several rounds of thunderstorms dropped heavy rainfall resulting in flash flooding, particularly within the Blue and Platte basins of central and Allen Dutcher eastern Nebraska. High temperatures breached the 100 F mark during the 6/30-7/1 time frame, with an unofficial high of 108 F recorded at Hebron on 7/1. A few pockets of dryness have been reported across extreme south central and southeast Nebraska, but so far no significant crop stress has been reported. A significant portion of the state’s corn crop is projected to come into pollination during the next two weeks and there is the potential for

highs reaching into the upper 90's to low 100's for parts of this forecast period. Models do indicate that the heat may be partially offset by several opportunities for moisture. Week One Forecast, 7/9 - 7/15: Recent weather model runs have struggled with the placement of the upper air ridging pattern across the southern U.S. Depending on which model run one looks at, Nebraska lays on the northward extent of the ridge on just south of the northern extent of the ridge. In other words, southern Plains heat will build across the state or the heat will remain just south of the state. My forecast is inclined to bring more heat to the region and could easily be 5-7 F too hot if the ridge doesn’t expand north toward the South Dakota border. Irregardless, there will be daily chances for thunderstorm activity as uncomfortable relative humidity levels will remain elevated. The best opportunities for widespread moisture appear to be in the 7/117/12 and 7/14 time frames. More scattered to isolated activity is projected for the remaining days in the period, with the greatest probabili-
ties assigned to western Nebraska. High temperatures: 7/9 (95 N - 102 SC), 7/10 (92 NW - 102 SC), 7/11 -7/12 (88 N - 95 S), 7/13-7/14 (92 NE - 101 SW), 7/15 (90 NW - 101 S). Week Two Forecast, 7/16 - 7/22: Weather models project the heat to persist during the first half of the forecast period before dramatically cooling temperatures into below normal territory by the end of the forecast period. The best opportunities for moisture statewide are currently projected to occur on 7/16, 7/21, and 7/22. Models indicate a large convective complex developing across western Nebraska during the evening hours of 7/21 and 7/22, then moving eastward during the overnight hours. Isolated storms are indicated for the 7/18-7/19 period with the best chances assigned to the western half of the state. Mostly dry conditions are projected for the 7/19-7/20 time frame. High temperatures: 7/16-7/17 (92 N -103 S), 7/18 (95 N - 105 S), 7/19 (92 NE - 101 SW), 7/20 (87 NE - 100 SW), 7/21 (87 N - 95 S), 7/22 (80 N - 88 S).

Rose Chafer Control in Gardens and Landscapes David Lott, Horticulture Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, North Platte, Nebraska Rose chafer, a damaging pest to flowers, fruit, vegetable plants, trees and shrubs are actively feeding in the garden and landscapes in the area. Here is some basic information about this pest, and how to try to control them from causing further damage. Adult rose chafer measure between 5/16 to ½ inch in length. Their slender bodies can range from pale green to shades of light tan and gray. Their legs are distinguishable ranging from reddish-brown to orange in color, with noticeable spines. The antennae are short with page-like segments. This pest produces one generation each year. Adults emerge in late spring after the grub-like larvae have completed metamorphosis. Adults will lay eggs before they die to repeat the life cycle of this pest. Rose chafers feed on flowering blooms, causing large holes in the petals. They can also feed on grape, raspberry, and strawberry fruit. locally reported cases also note damage to tomatoes in the garden as well. They are also known to defoliate many trees and shrubs as well. Tissue between the leaf veins will be chewed up, leaving the veins behind. This kind of feeding damaging is called skeletonizing.
How are these pests managed? When small numbers are present, they can be hand picked and placed in a bucket of soapy water to kill them. Barriers around specific plants made out of cheesecloth can be erected to reduce damage. Garden insecticides can be applied when large numbers of rose chafers are present, and manually picking individual chafers or erecting barriers is not feasible. Contact insecticides labeled for rose chafer control containing bifenthrin, permethrin, esfenvalerate, and carbaryl on the product ingredient label can be used. Please read all product use restrictions before using on vegetable and fruit crop plants. Not all of these products are labeled to use on edible food crops. If a product is used that is safe for food crops, follow the harvest waiting period after application guidelines before harvesting and eating the produce. Systemic insect control products labeled for rose chafers, containing imidacloprid, can also be applied to ornamental flowers, trees and shrubs. When applied to specific plant material, the root systems will absorb this product, and carry nutrients to the foliage to kill the feeding rose chafers If you have any questions about rose chafer control, please contact me at dlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 532-2683, or by contacting your local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Office.
Camping Safety
UNL Extension in Colfax County Susan Hansen, Extension Educator With Summer upon us, families may be camping – some in their backyard while others are a distance away. Keep safety in mind when camping. The first safety issue for this year is to be aware of the floodwaters – those waters that are already here and not going away as well as the potential floodwaters that can come from flash floods. Find out if your camping spot is indeed open and safe from floodwaters. Once at the campsite, find out the evacuation procedures. Planning ahead saves time and more importantly, it can save lives. Let others know where and when you will be camping. Cell phones have helped tremendously in keeping in contact with people but remember that there are still some “black holes” of cell phone coverage. This is particularly true in hilly or mountainous terrain. Enjoying the outdoors through camping, hiking, mountain climbing or biking are popular ways to spend leisure hours. Whatever activity you choose, pack an appropriate first aid kit. Dress in layers to adjust to the changing temperatures and elevations. Pack a flashlight, extra food, and rain gear. Check the forecast before heading out. If you are in an unfamiliar area, learn the nearby towns or county names so you can better use the weather alerts. When hiking, be prepared. Have a trail map handy and read the signs. Stay on the trails. Venturing off the trail may be exciting until every tree looks the same and every rock looks alike and you end up lost. Avoid hiking alone and definitely do not let children hike alone. Tell
someone the area where you will be hiking and when you expect to be back. Wear sturdy shoes. Hiking is fun and great exercise. However, be aware of your physical capabilities and limits. If you hike down into a canyon, remember you have to hike back up. I learned this lesson well in Peru while visiting Machu Picchu. Not only was the mountain steep but it was high altitude. Altitude sickness is not fun. Camping usually means cooking outdoors. The aroma of food cooking on a campfire is a great smell. Remember that not just humans will smell your campfire so be aware of wildlife. Before building the campfire, find out if open fires are permitted. Keep a bucket of water and a shovel near the fire to use in an emergency. Never leave a campfire unattended and always make sure the campfire area is cold before leaving. The outdoors is a place to explore but explore safely. Teach children how to identify poison ivy. Many wild plants and berries are safe to eat but not all of them so avoid experimenting. Apply insect repellent but read the directions first. Avoid using scented soaps, shampoos and perfumes since they may attract insects and animals. Do not disturb or provoke animals. If I am sleeping and someone wakes me up suddenly, I’m not too happy – the animals feel the same way. Many people camp near the water or include water in their outdoor activities. Make sure the water is safe. If it is floodwater, stay out since there are many health issues related to floodwater. Do not swim alone or during thunder & lightning storms.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • That Time In Life by Lee Pitts
It is my conviction that people are either acquirers, or they are liquidators. I happen to fall, most assuredly, in the acquiring camp. I’m not so extreme that you'll soon be seeing me star in that hoarding show on TV, but I have been known to collect motel stationery, caps, auction market buyer cards and any other free thing that is not bolted down. My wife insists that our local bank went broke because I took so many of their free ballpoint pens. Our house and shop are full, we’re not getting any younger and we have no kids that I can leave my valuable plier and wrench collection to, so my wife recently stated the obvious: we’ve reached that time in life when we should start getting rid of what my wife calls junk, but I call “antiquities.” I reluctantly agreed to begin to turn our trash into cash and promised that as a start I would put a few boxes of stuff together that I might be able to live without. As luck would have it, this all coincided with the fact that my friend Todd recently started selling a monthly sale for a nearby auction house. I felt I should support him in his new endeavor by entrusting him to sell some of our valuables, which included an electric stapler that never worked, a rusty set of truck chains that I have no idea what model they fit, an electric knife sharpener that actually makes blades duller, two old and broken horse bits, and a tool called
a Dart that I never quite discovered a use for. In other words, I dug deep into my bag of goodies to put together an extremely valuable consignment. During our 37 year marriage my wife has sat through thousands of auctions so I wasn’t surprised that she didn’t care to accompany me to the auction. I, however, being an auction junkie sat through the entire seven hour spine-tingling sale of my valuable consignment, and other people’s junk. How can people sell such trash? Upon arriving home after the sale my wife immediately wanted to know how much richer we were. “How did the sale go?” she asked expectantly. “It was great,” I said. “Todd did a fantastic job and you should see what I bought.” “Wait a minute,” my wife replied in an agitated and somewhat aggressive manner. “May I remind you that you went there to sell junk, not to add to your collection of it.” “Yes, but I couldn’t pass up the bargains. Look what I got,” I said excitedly as I showed her a box of old hammer handles, a set of 15 blacksmith tools, another box of old rusty blades for wood planes, an oil painting (that I didn’t realize when I bid had a hole in it), a watercolor (that I thought was an original but turned out to be a print), a collection of old medicine bottle labels from an old drug store, one
end of a pair of brass bookends, a sack of wine corks, and to top it all off... a collection of motel ash trays that will go with my motel stationery collection perfectly. “Wow!” I exclaimed. “Can you believe our good fortune?” Going from a simmer to a slow boil, my wife replied, “I hope you got enough money out of the stuff you sold to pay for all this junk.” “Not exactly,” I said quietly in hopes she might not hear me. “What do you mean, “not exactly?” “Our stuff was such a bargain that I bought it back.” (And it only cost me a 10% seller ’s commission and a 15% buyer ’s commission.) “Did you sell anything?” she screamed. “Of course. I sold two pieces of Roseville pottery and a box of Christmas ornaments.” “BUT THOSE WERE MINE you idiot. I didn’t even know you consigned them. You didn’t ask my permission. Those were old family heirlooms,” she said, now starting to sniffle. “Now, now, you know what you said? I remember that you stated quite emphatically that we’ve reached that time in life when we need to start getting rid of a few old things around the house that aren’t serving any purpose.” “And you’re next mister!” she yelled in what I thought was a complete overreaction.

Recently, President Obama requested an increase in the debt ceiling. Created in 1917, the debt ceiling limits the total amount of money the federal government can legally borrow. While Congress authorizes new spending, the debt ceiling controls the ability of the Treasury Department to finance the spending obligations Congress and the President have previously made. The national debt currently stands at more than $14 trillion, which amounts to a $45,500 “birth tax” for every child born in America this year or $120,500 for each household. The federal government is currently borrowing more than 42 cents of every dollar it spends, much of it from the Chinese, and sending the bill to future generations who deserve better. It is time to put a long-term debt reduction plan in place which gets our fiscal house in order by cutting spending. Failing to fulfill spending obligations would result in a United States default which could setoff a string of catastrophic events for our economy. It would substantially increase the cost
of borrowing for the federal government which would in turn increase the cost of borrowing for all of us, creating a cascade effect on everything from pensions and 401(k)s to gas and groceries. Furthermore, a debt default could stop, limit or delay payments from the federal government, such as tax refunds, salaries to men and women in the military, veterans’ pensions, and Social Security and Medicare benefits. While defaulting on the federal debt would have serious consequences for our economy, it is equally clear continuing to borrow without significant spending cuts and substantial budget reforms is a serious threat to our fiscal future. The debt limit is not the real problem. The real problem is the federal government’s spending addiction. The debt ceiling originally functioned to force Congress to consciously and cautiously approve more borrowing. The periodic vote was intended to act as a check and balance against runaway deficits and debt. Over time, Washington has unfortunately treated the debt limit as a routine

action. Since 1985, Congress has voted 27 times to increase the debt limit with little fanfare. Democrats and Republicans share equal blame; in fact, the debt ceiling has already been raised three times and by almost $3 trillion just since President Obama took office. Like a family or business which finds itself in deep debt, we need to create and implement a realistic plan to balance our budget and pay down our debt to solve long-standing spending problems in a responsible way. Before there is any consideration of an increase to the debt limit, a solution to immediately address our debt crisis must be considered. The debt limit is serving its intended purpose by allowing us to debate difficult questions which impact our fiscal sustainability, such as our longterm obligations to entitlement programs, the real effects of meaningful tax reform, or the impact of runaway regulatory policy. We must take advantage of this opportunity to face these challenges now, before it is too late.
Improve Medicare, Don’t End It by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725
Years ago when I worked at the Nebraska Department of Insurance and we had a choice about whether to try to make a new health care law work or try to undo it and not implement it. We chose the first course. The law was Medicare, which was created in the 1960s because millions of elderly Americans couldn’t get good enough health coverage from the private market. From Day One, in spite of opposition, we tried to make Medicare work. We’ve seen Medicare become the lifeline for health insurance for millions of Americans. In our state today, Medicare affords 230,000 Nebraskans longer and more vital lives. Two Approaches on Medicare Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about Medicare that’s focused not so much on care but on cost. Nebraskans I talk to understand that to cut our national debt, we have to tackle health care spending, including Medicare. Two approaches have emerged, with the first one reforming how Medicare pays for care in the new health reform law, and the second by changing

who pays for seniors’ health insurance in a plan by for medications next year alone. These provisions save lives and reduce health care costs. House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan. The Ryan plan would turn Medicare into a voucher program and end Medicare as we know it. Existing Law Streamlines and Saves Money I think there’s a better way for Nebraska seniors. The existing law cuts government Voucher Plan Costs Seniors More The Ryan plan sets up a new system where spending by getting rid of Medicare Advantage seniors pick plans offered by private insurance overpayments. It reduces future Medicare companies. The government would pay “premium payment increases to hospitals because the support” payments to the insurance companies, government will pay less for the uninsured. They cost insured taxpayers $57 billion a year for the not to seniors. This voucher plan transfers most of seniors’ free care they receive at hospitals when they show health care costs from the federal government to up sick. It saves money by changing how Medicare reimthe patient. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said seniors “would pay more for burses health care providers so it doesn’t reward their health care than if they participated in tradi- them for running lots of tests. Instead, it rewards quality—good care. Medicare also will save money tional Medicare.” The Ryan plan also cuts services to seniors by by moving away from paper records toward eleceliminating new wellness checkups—which more tronic records, which will deliver more cost-effithan 1,700 Nebraskans have already received— cient and better care. The Senate voted down the Ryan plan but there and free cancer screenings. It gets rid of new prescription drug coverage which would have are those who will still push hard for it. Just as I 28,000 Nebraska seniors paying $16 million more did years ago, I’m going to support ways to make Medicare better and less expensive, not undo it.
Spending Policies Have Made Things Worse by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

Throughout our history, we as a country have faced – and overcome – many great challenges. Today we face another one: a debt crisis brought about by years of spending beyond our means. A troubling report was released last week outlining the consequences if we fail to confront the reality that we are dramatically over-spending and must start acting responsibly. Many in Congress stand ready to make these tough but necessary changes; it's now time for President Obama to follow suit. His policies have made our country worse off than when he took office two and a half years ago, and it's time to reverse course. The report I've referenced was conducted by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). This office is nonpartisan, unaffiliated with any party, policy or purpose other than providing straightforward analysis. The report studied the policies advocated for and enacted by this Administration, including the 2009 stimulus, and projected their future impact. Its findings should be the latest warning bell about our country's fiscal situation and addiction to government spending.
Scottsbluff Office: 115 Railway Street, Suite C102 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Tel: (308) 632-6032 Fax: (308) 632-6295
Partly due to the stimulus, the report concludes, federal public debt will soon be 70 percent of our Gross Domestic Product, and is projected to be 100 percent of GDP in ten years. In other words, by the time today's 12 year-olds graduate college, our public debt will equal the total of every single dollar produced by our economy. If that's not a crisis for a country that's long been the world's economic leader, I don't know what is. We have an opportunity this summer to change course and steer us away from a crisis. The ongoing negotiations to raise the debt ceiling must also pave a way to fiscal soundness through spending cuts. As the CBO report shows, raising the debt ceiling without addressing the debt would only delay a major crisis. Yet some in Congress are now throwing a wrench into the gears of negotiation by actually demanding that more stimulus spending and more taxes be included in an agreement. Here we can again turn to the CBO report, which made sure to include the clarification that it didn't "include the impact of higher tax rates on people's incentives to work and save." CBO acknowledges further adding to our bloated debt or

taxing more money out of the economy would likely make their already dire projections even worse. I can't say it any better than CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf: "Growing debt would also increase the probability of a sudden fiscal crisis…the government would thereby lose its ability to borrow money at affordable rates." The report assertively concludes, "The explosive path of the federal debt…underscores the need for large and rapid policy changes to put the nation on a sustainable fiscal course." CBO couldn't possibly provide us with a louder warning siren. We must address our debt crisis now. It's time for the President to step up and work with Congress. He can't continue outsourcing it to someone else. As President Truman once famously stated, the buck stops with the President. The Obama Administration has undoubtedly taken us down the wrong path. A renewed commitment to leadership can still reverse our course and lead us back to a sound economy and a bright future.

What Can Growers Do About Hail-damaged Crop?
USDA Continues Efforts to Inform Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers As part of continued efforts to close the chapter on allegations of past discrimination at USDA, a series of outreach efforts are being conducted throughout the country with farmers and ranchers to talk about the process that has been put in place to resolve the claims of women and Hispanic farmers and ranchers who assert that they were discriminated against when seeking USDA farm loans. "The Obama Administration is committed to resolving all claims of past discrimination at USDA, so we can close this sad chapter in the department's history," said Deputy Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Fred Pfaeffle. "We want to make sure that any Hispanic or women farmer or rancher who alleges discrimination is aware of this option to come forward, to have his or her claims heard and to participate in a process to receive compensation." According to Maxine Moul, Nebraska Rural Development State Director, she and her staff will be talking with individuals, as well as farmer and community organizations to underscore USDA’s commitment to resolving allegations of past discrimination and ushering in “a new era of civil rights”. “If you believe that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) improperly denied farm loan benefits to you between 1981 and 2000 because you are Hispanic, or because you are female, you may be eligible to apply for compensation,” said Schneider. “Potential claimants can register to receive a claims package by calling the Farmer and Rancher Call Center at 1-888-508-4429 or visiting www.farmerclaims.gov.” The program USDA announced earlier this year with the Department of Justice provides up to $50,000 for each Hispanic or woman farmer who can show that USDA denied them a loan or loan servicing for discriminatory reasons for certain time periods between 1981 and 2000. This claims process offers a streamlined alternative to litigation and provides at least $1.33 billion in compensation, plus up to $160 million in farm debt relief to eligible Hispanic and women farmers and ranchers. Hispanic or female farmers who provide additional proof and meet other requirements can receive a $50,000 reward. Successful claimants are also eligible for funds to pay the taxes on their awards and for forgiveness of certain existing USDA loans. There are no filing fees or other costs to claimants to participate in the program. Participation is voluntary, and individuals who decide not to participate may choose to file a complaint in court. However, USDA cannot provide legal advice to potential claimants, and persons seeking legal advice may contact a lawyer or other legal services provider. Under the leadership of Secretary Vilsack, USDA is addressing civil rights complaints that go back decades and through these outreach meetings, we are taking steps towards achieving that goal. USDA is committed to resolving allegations of past discrimination and ushering in "a new era of civil rights" for the Department. In February 2010, the Secretary announced the Pigford II settlement with African American farmers, and in October 2010, he announced the Keepseagle settlement with Native American farmers.
Many areas of the Panhandle have received moderate to severe hail, and hail season isn't over yet. Evaluating hail damage for the different crops can be complicated; it is specific to the crop, stage of growth, hail severity and what has already been done for the crop in terms of weed control, fertilizer and any plant protection products. A new University of Nebraska Extension web site will help take growers in the Nebraska Panhandle through the major management decisions and factors that should be considered following hail. To find the information, go to the University of Nebraska Panhandle Research and Extension Center's web site at panhandle.unl.edu and look for the Hail Damage link featured on the home page. The web information covers corn, sugar beets, and dry edible beans. Information on the web site was prepared by specialists and educators at the Panhandle Center, including Gary W. Hergert, Extension Soil and nutrient management specialist; Robert Harveson, Extension Plant Pathologist; Robert Wilson, Extension Weed Specialist; and Jim Schild, Extension Educator for Scotts Bluff and Morrill counties. The site also contains links to UNL Extension publications that will help growers in the decision-making process.

According to Hergert, growers should stop and assess their damage before taking action. This step may take several days. "A grower's first reaction is to do something that will benefit the crop," he said. "However, many corrective actions may or may not improve growing conditions or improve yield potential. Adding 'something' may only increase costs and reduce potential profits. Often making sure that you have adequate weed control or providing cultivation for aeration and weed control is all that is needed." Deciding what to do can be complicated, but Hergert recommended taking the following steps before doing anything: 1. Wait and allow regrowth for 7 to 10 days. 2. Determine remaining population and yield potential. 3. Check weed control and the remaining residual value of applied herbicide and determine whether additional herbicide and/or cultivation is needed. 4. Check fertilizer nitrogen (N) rate based on projected new yield potential (corn and sugar beets). If you have plenty of N for the new yield potential, additional N or S or micronutrients will not increase yield potential. 5. Determine plant health status and consider plant protection options. The UNL web site has more detail on assessing crop damage and choosing among the available options.
NE Receives Additional Conservaton Funding LINCOLN – The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Nebraska received additional funding for natural resource conservation through several of its Farm Bill programs. This funding will go towards applications NRCS currently has on-hand. Nebraska State Conservationist Craig Derickson said, “This additional funding means NRCS can provide financial and technical assistance to more landowners and operators than originally anticipated. Here in Nebraska, we often receive twice as many applications for natural resource conservation assistance than we can fund. This additional funding will help NRCS apply more conservation work on Nebraska’s working lands.” The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) received an additional $3.25 million, of which $2.5 million will be geared toward irrigation water management practices. The remaining dollars will go towards financial and technical help with structural and management conservation practices on agricultural land. The Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP) received an additional $1.3 million. AWEP is a voluntary conservation initiative that provides technical and financial assistance to help
farmers and ranchers conserve surface and ground water and improve water quality, mostly through irrigation water management practices. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) received an additional $75,000. WHIP is a voluntary program that encourages the creation of wildlife habitat. Through WHIP, NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to landowners and others to develop upland, wetland, riparian, and aquatic habitat areas on their property. The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) also recently had the total number of acres that can be accepted into the program during 2011 increased to 1.2 million acres. Nebraska currently leads the nation in the amount of acres enrolled in CSP. This voluntary conservation program encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking new conservation practices; and improving, maintaining, and managing existing conservation activities. “This additional funding and acres dedicated towards natural resources conservation will result in cleaner water, more wildlife habitat and more productive crop and pastureland,” Derickson said.

Corn trade has been mixed this week. Followthrough selling after last weeks negative Quarterly Grain and Stocks report has limited upside while short covering has prompted buying interest at support levels. Additional rumors have developed that imply China has secured as much as 7-8 million tons of new crop US corn since last weeks sharp decline. In fact, the USDA confirmed on Thursday morning that 540,000 tons of new crop corn had been booked for Chinese delivery. This will limit downside heading into next week’s USDA monthly Supply and Demand report, but those additional rumored sales will need to be confirmed before sustained buying interest returns to the market. Brazil’s CONAB raised their corn production estimate to 57.1 million tons at midweek which was up 400,000 tons from their previous estimate. This has worked to help offset some of the supportive Chinese rumors. On the chart, there is a gap following the limit down report day. September and December moved within the gap and nearly filled it yesterday. The $6.20 December and $6.36 September prices should be viewed as resistance and the top of the gap. No weekly sales will be seen today; they are delayed until Friday due to the holiday. On the weekly report, corn silking was listed at 6% versus 18% last year and the 12% 5-year average. Corn condition was reported as 69% good to excellent which was up 1% from last week. Hedgers call with questions.
Wheat trade has been mixed to higher this week due to light short covering and chart buying. Wheat printed a new low for the move last week, which keeps the short-term trend lower, but winter wheat is now around or past the half way point which means harvest pressure should be subsiding. Spread activity should continue to be active near-term. US wheat continues to trade at a premium to Black Sea wheat; in fact, Egypt asked for Russian wheat offers on Wednesday which has analysts concerned that US exports could decline short-term. CONAB left its wheat forecast unchanged at 5.4 million at midweek. On the chart, support is down at Friday’s lows; the Chicago 10day on the September contract will serve as resistance at $6.49, and then the 20-day up at $6.97. Wheat has a wide range it could trade over the next month. We expect rallies to be sold unless there is big spillover support from corn. On the weekly condition and progress report, the winter wheat heading was listed as 97% complete versus 98% last year and the 97% 5-year average. Winter wheat harvest was at 56% complete versus 52% both last year and as the 5-year average. Winter wheat condition was listed as 36% good to excellent which was up 1% from last week. Spring wheat emergence was reported at 94% which is down from 100% last year and the 100% 5-year average. Spring wheat headed was only 13% compared to 47% last year and spring wheat condition was estimated at 70% good to excellent which was up 1% from last week. The weekly export sales will be delayed until Friday. Hedgers call with questions.
Soybean trade has been higher this week due to short covering. The trade seems to be range bound in the low $13 area. With no threatening weather the trade should find trouble on rallies. Outside markets need to remain firm in order to prevent beans from slipping back to new lows. The European Central Bank, however, is meeting today to discuss monetary policy; analysts expect them to raise key interest rates slightly which could create renewed outside market pressure. On the chart, nearby August resistance is up at $13.41 and then $13.54 which are the 20- and 50-day moving averages respectively. CONAB increased its soybean forecast on Wednesday to 75.04 million tons which is a record amount and up from the June estimate of 75 million tons. This may limit upside the remainder of the week. On the weekly condition and progress report, soybeans emerged were reported at 96% which was inline with the 5-year average and down from 97% a year ago. Soybeans blooming came in at 8% versus 21% last year and an 18% 5-year average. Soybean condition was estimated at 66% good to excellent which was up 1% from last week. The weekly export sales will be delayed until Friday. Hedgers call with questions.

MID-YEAR ACREAGE HIGHLIGHTS Continued from page 1 the lowest planted area since 1930. Alfalfa hay acreage for harvest, at 850,000, is down 4 percent from last year. Other types of hay, at 1.70 million acres, are also down 6 percent from a year earlier. Proso Millet plantings, at 60,000 acres, are down 33 percent from a year ago. Oat seedings, at 80,000 acres, are down 11 percent from 2010. Dry edible bean producers planted 125,000 acres, down 26 percent from a year earlier. Sunflower acres of 48,000 are down 23 percent from 2010. Sugarbeet plantings of 53,000 acres are up 6 percent from last year.
LAWSUIT CHALLENGING CENTRAL PLATTE'S IRRIGATION RULES Continued from page 1 said, "No soil survey is perfect. Never has been. Never will be ... The maps weren't produced to finely describe every square foot out there." He also was concerned that "no-till" means different things to different people. The amended rules approved are posted on the website at www.cpnrd.org under "plan updates." There were two updates related to the CPNRD's efforts to meet its responsibilities in rolling back Platte River streamflow depletions to 1997 levels and to change the overappropriated designation west of Elm Creek to fully appropriated. To get Dawson County and western Buffalo County back to fully appropriated, with water uses matching supplies, the NRD has purchased and retired irrigation rights on land near the river. There also was an agreement with Six-Mile Canal irrigators in the Gothenburg area to buy their surface water rights as river credits, and close and fill the canal.
Bishop said he continues to work with three irrigation districts associated with the Nebraska Public Power District on conjunctive water use plans that could use some surface water for groundwater recharge. CPNRD Hydrologist Duane Woodward said Cooperative Hydrology Study sponsors will meet on July 11 to measure progress on groundwater, surface water and watershed computer models, which soon will be calibrated to be used together. He said that following a peer review, the models should be up and running by December as a Platte Basin management tool. One of the first uses will be to review actions taken by the basin's NRDs over the past five years, including water transfers and retiring irrigated acres, and measure their river impacts. The board set the public hearing on the fiscal year 2011-2012 budget at 1:30 p.m. July 28, ahead
of the regular board meeting at the CPNRD office in Grand Island. Bishop said a lot of numbers still must be finalized, but the best guess is that the new budget will require about $700,000 more in local taxes. During an legislative review at the March meeting, the directors were told that a law passed by the Nebraska Legislature and signed by Gov. Dave Heineman to eliminated state aid to counties, municipalities and NRDs probably would mean the loss of about $100,000 to Central Platte. The board extended Bishop's contract from July 1, 2012, to July 1, 2013, with the option for an additional year. Nebraska Association of Resources Districts Executive Director Dean Edson announced that CPNRD Director Jim Bendfeldt of Kearney will receive an award as the state's NRD director of the year during the Sept. 26-27 NARD annual conference in Kearney.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry
Working Cattle in Summertime Heat Nebraska cattlemen debate Dr. Glenn Selk, Professor-Animal Reproduction Avoid working cattle during very hot parts of the Specialist Animal Science - Oklahoma State day. Very excitable cattle will be even more prone brand inspections to heat stress if handled at high environmental University, Stillwater, OK temperatures. If animals are going to have limited access to water under stressful conditions such as shipping by truck or trailer, they should be allowed water prior to further stressful situations. If weaning calls for cattle to be gathered and put through a working chute for immunizations, implanting, or other operations, then a few common sense rules should be followed. During hot weather, cattle should be worked before 8:00 am, if possible. Certainly all cattle working must be complete by about 10:00 am. While it may seem to make sense to work cattle after sun down, they will need most of the night cooling before enough heat is dissipated to cool down from an extremely hot day. Recent research at Oklahoma State University with rumen temperature boluses has shown that the core body temperature of beef cows peaks at 2 to 5 hours after the highest daytime temperature. On a hot summer day the highest daytime temperature is often late afternoon. Therefore the peak body temperature of cattle may occur at 6 PM to 11 PM. (Source: Pye, Boehmer, and Wettemann. 2011 Page 104; Abstract 285 http://adsa.asas.org/midwest/2011/Midwest_Abstr acts_2011-revised.pdf.) Cattle that must be handled during hot weather should spend less than 30 minutes in the working facility. Drylot pens and corrals loaded with cattle will have very little if any air movement. Cattle will gain heat constantly while they are in these areas. Therefore a time limit of one-half hour in the confined cattle working area should limit the heat gain and therefore the heat stress. Make every effort to see that cool, fresh, water is available to cattle in close confined areas for any length of time. During hot weather conditions cattle will drink more than 1% of their body weight per hour. Producers need to be certain that the water supply lines are capable of keeping up with demand, if working cattle during hot weather.
By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald BRIDGEPORT -- To brand or not to brand, is the question being debated by Nebraska cattle producers. The issue has been discussed for several years, with cattlemen in the eastern part of the state mostly opposed, and those in the west mostly in favor. The way things stand now, producers on the east side of an invisible line running north from Grand Island are not required to obtain brand inspections when moving cattle, or for other miscellaneous reasons. Those west of the line are required to call upon brand inspectors. Two arguments exist. The eastern part of the state believes there is no problem with rustling or other issues that might be prevented by brand inspectors, while westerners believe brand inspections are necessary in order to prove ownership, and prevent rustling, something that is easier accomplished in the wide open spaces where many miles can separate herds from owners for long periods of time. The Nebraska Cattlemen Association is conducting meetings around the state to gather input from members and other livestock producers. NC Executive Vice President Michael Kelsey conducted the recent Bridgeport meeting. Among popular suggestions to date are no changes to the current system; modify the current program by increasing or decreasing the per head fee; a tiered inspection fee program; options for small-lot inspections, such as no charge for designated small numbers; self certification bill of sale; eliminate brand inspections in the entire state; include the eastern part of the state in the current or a modified brand inspection program; inspectors at livestock markets only; or other ideas.

Understanding and avoiding heat stress in cattle can be a valuable management tool for summertime. In the summertime, most cow calf operations will be working cattle on days when heat stress to cattle is possible. Cattle have an upper critical temperature approximately 20 degrees cooler than humans. When humans are uncomfortable at 80 degrees and feel hot at 90 degrees, cattle may well be in the danger zone for extreme heat stress. Humidity is an additional stressor that intensifies the heat by making body heat dissipation more difficult. Over heating is sporadically encountered in cattle, but is really a rare problem. High humidity contributes to the likelihood of heat stroke or prostration because water evaporation from the oral and nasal cavities is decreased, in spite of rapid panting. At an environmental temperature of about 88 degrees, heat dissipation mechanisms such as sweating and evaporative cooling must take place to prevent a rise in body temperature. Sweat gland activity in cattle increases as the temperature goes above the thermoneutral zone. Panting is an important heat regulatory device in cattle. The signs of overheating may develop suddenly and depend upon the environmental conditions and the health of the cattle exposed to the heat. Panting often occurs at rectal temperatures at or above 104 degrees F, but may begin even at lower body temperatures. Some animals manifest restlessness, excitement, and spasms of certain muscles. However, other animals may be dull and depressed. A protruding tongue may be covered with saliva, and frothy mucus discharged at the nostrils. Rectal temperatures of overheated cattle have ranged as high as 107 to 115 degrees F. Overheating in cattle can be prevented under most management conditions. Allowing animals access to cool water and mineral supplements is a must in very hot summer weather. Shade and free air circulation should be provided if at all possible.

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due to short covering. Cash trade is expected to be steady for the remainder of the week; chain speeds have been aggressive this week, but that is likely an attempt to make up for lost time on Monday. The pork carcass value jumped sharply at midweek but remains below $100. A move above this level would likely push cash prices sharply higher. Hog weights were reported on Wednesday at 267.6 pounds which is .6 pounds lighter versus the previous week and .8 pounds lighter versus year ago levels. The negative hog and pig report earlier this month coupled with the slip in grain prices should continue to bring in willing sellers on rallies. Aug. 11 9007 9607

Live cattle trade has been higher this week due to renewed chart buying. Cash trade has been slow to develop this week. Cash volume was light last week and packers should be willing buyers after the holiday on Monday. Asking prices are firm at $114 live and $183 dressed. Cutout values were firm on Wednesday with choice up .20 at 179.38 and select up 36 at 173.93. Carcass weights were reported late last week at 769 pounds which was 2 pounds larger versus the previous week and 4 pounds heavier
versus last year. On the August chart, the market found resistance at the 100-day moving average which is at 113.37. The trade may need to close above it this week otherwise renewed selling interest may develop. A close below the 109.65 20-day moving average would be negative. Hedgers call with questions.

NEBRASKA CATTLEMAN DEBATE BRAND..... Continued from page 12 Currently, inspections are required for cattle going into a feedlot, but not coming out. Records and a head count serve to monitor the cattle that went in compared to those that come out. Some producers agree with that system, while others feel that if their cattle have to be inspected to leave their property, feedlot cattle should be inspected as well. On both ends of the issue, some cow/calf producers do not brand their cattle, and others do. The same holds true of operations that have their own cow/calf operations, and feed out their own animals. They feel branding is not necessary. Other cow/calf producers believe brand inspections are a necessity in the western part of the state, especially for herds that are kept near the state line with Wyoming or any neighboring state. It is too easy to move cattle into another state where the animals can escape identification as stolen if they are not branded. Speaking at the meeting was Nick Lapaseotes of Bridgeport, who has a cow/calf to feedlot operation, and does not brand his animals. "There has to be a better way," Lapaseotes said, noting that new technology, such as electronic ear tags, could take the place of some of the inspection. Steve Johnson, a Sioux County rancher, brands his herds for ID purposes and to help prevent rustling. He does use age-source tags. Mike Norby owns a ranch on the Nebraska/Wyoming state line near Lyman, and strongly believes brand inspections should continue, at least in the panhandle. Robin Lapaseotes asked if making brand inspections mandatory across the state would result in magnifying the current problems. One rancher said they had recovered a branded calf, which they assumed had died during the winter, from a Wyoming market because of the brand. Also on everyone's mind is the fee schedule. Currently, inspections cost 75 cents per head. This could generate very little revenue for expenses on a call to inspect five head 60 miles away. Discussion involved modifying the fee schedule in a number of ways. Norby pointed out that if a surcharge is approved, it
should be one that is fair to all concerned. He said a $20 surcharge on one inspection is not fair to the small operator who is maybe moving five head, while a larger operation may be loading out three truck loads for the same money. At this time, the Nebraska Brand Inspection Committee has been given permission to establish a surcharge, if they feel is it needed, for as much as $20 per inspection visit. It is included in legislation passed by the Nebraska unicameral. The committee faces financial issues for several reasons. Owners are cutting back on herd sizes and/or not branding. Fewer and smaller herds are farther apart, and gas prices and other expenses continue to increase. One suggestion called for a statewide inspection system as a means of closer monitoring cattle sales which could result in more income for the Beef Checkoff program. Another comment referred to the belief that courts put more weight on inspections than brands. Committee member Gary Darnall, a Banner County rancher, attended the Bridgeport meeting, along with other committee representatives. "We want to keep the service as palatable to the producers as possible," Darnall said. The committee will meet later this summer, and needs all of the producer recommendations they can get to develop a proposal. The committee will then schedule hearings around the state. "We want to get others involved, like bankers," Darnall said. The Brand Inspection Committee was created in 1941. It is a cashfunded agency, meaning it receives no state or federal funding. It survives on the revenue it generates from inspections, commissions, herd reporting, and annual brand renewals. The revenue has to cover the brand inspectors' costs, investigators costs, staff and benefits, utilities, etc., just with other businesses. Producers are encouraged to contact the NCA or the Brand Inspection Committee, with their suggestions.

Nebraska County Fairs The History of Fairs
The history of fairs is clouded and the record is less than complete. Nonetheless, the story of mankind is replete with references to fairs, not in an institutional context, but as a part of everyday social intercourse. A casual observer might conclude that American fairs and exhibitions came fresh out of eighteenth century western Europe, delivered to the colonial docks of Boston and Halifax with a predisposed mission to serve agriculture and animal husbandry. This observation fits with our collective sense of tradition, but fails to recognize centuries of historical linkage to the eastern Mediterranean before the birth of Christ. Old and New Testament references to fairs are mixed with allusions to commerce, trade, the marketplace, festivals, religious feasts and holy days.
Where and when the first fair was held is not known, however, evidence points to the existence of fairs as early as 500 BC Scripture records in the book of Ezekiel: "Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the kinds of riches with silver, iron, tin and lead, they traded in thy fairs." Ezekiel's account of the destruction of Tyre, supposedly written about 588 BC, describes Tyre as an important market and fair center. Fairs were commercial in character from the beginning. Merchants from distant countries would come together, bringing native wares to trade with one another, and even though it is not clearly explained in Ezekiel or in other biblical references, it is reasonable to assume that "fair" was the name given to the place at which early

trading between foreign merchants was conducted. It is equally clear that religious activity was companion to the commerce. The Latin world "feria" meaning holy day, would appear the logical root of the word "fair." Each feria was a day when large numbers of people would assemble for worship. Worship in those early days was centered around temples in great cities, including Ninevah, Athens, Rome and Mecca. These cities were also respected as the great commercial centers of the world. Fields adjacent to these temples were staked out for traders. Religious figures were placed about the fields in order to protect the traders and merchants.

Grassroots Program in Nebraska Works to Find the CommonGroundTM Between Consumers and Farmers Program Expands to Include Six Additional Volunteer Farm Women LINCOLN, Neb.— With the recent addition of six CommonGround volunteers, the Nebraska Soybean Board and Nebraska Corn Board now help provide consumers with a stronger connection to food. CommonGround, a national grassroots program designed to create conversations about food between the women who grow it and the women who buy it, is gaining momentum in Nebraska. Due to the program’s success, the original Nebraska team of three volunteers will now include six new women. The farm women who will join CommonGround Nebraska volunteers, Shana Beattie, Dawn Caldwell and Kristen Eggerling include Diane Becker, Chandra Horky, Hilary Maricle, Joan Ruskamp, Leslie Boswell and Linda Schwarz. Both statewide and nationally, CommonGround offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how food makes it from the farm gate to the plate by utilizing a team of volunteers across 11 states. Jan. 2011 marked the launch of CommonGround in Nebraska along with four other states including Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and South Dakota. Since then, each volunteer works to
engage in one-on-one conversations with consumers about how food is produced, drawing upon their own experiences on the farm. “CommonGround is expanding in Nebraska, and in order to reach more consumers, we needed to add more volunteers,” said Drew Guiney, consumer relations specialist with the Nebraska Soybean Board, “We’ve received a positive response to the CommonGround program efforts in Nebraska, so we welcome this opportunity to increase our outreach.” With success of the program in Nebraska, it soon became obvious farm-to-consumer conversations happen in Nebraska’s mid-sized cities, not just in dense urban areas such as Omaha and Lincoln. “While the original idea of CommonGround was to target events in the Omaha and Lincoln areas, we’re finding that there’s a need to explain the farming process to consumers in smaller cities as well,” Guiney said. “More volunteers give us the flexibility to react to these opportunities.” Even though there was a need to fulfill volunteer response, it was also important to the Nebraska corn and soy boards to include volun-

teers who have diverse agriculture backgrounds. “We want consumers to be able to tap into a new range of farm experiences and broaden the conversation about food and farming,” Guiney said. The CommonGround program encourages volunteers to share their personal experiences with agriculture and food, and new volunteers in Nebraska will do this primarily through social media. Contributions will be made to the Nebraska CommonGround blog, the volunteer’s personal social media sites and by creating educational videos. The team of nine volunteers will also continue to share their experiences through appearances at grocery stores, clubs, food fairs, and other foodrelated events. These events initiate one-on-one conversations about family farms and their dedication to conservation, food safety, the humane treatment of animals and other pertinent food topics.

Women Landowners Learn About Conservation By: Rachael Ruybalid, The Wahoo Newspaper CERESCO - Women and conservation was at the heart of a recent one-day program. A group of woman landowners attended "Women Caring for the Land," a conservation discussion and program, on June 30 at the Ceresco Covenant Church in Ceresco. The purpose of the discussion was to provide the women attending with information and resources regarding what can be done in terms of conservation on their land, said William Powers, director of Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society. "Women own almost a third of farmland in Nebraska, and often want to do more to conserve their land and resources. However, many are unsure of exactly how to reach their conservation goals and what resources are available to help them," said Traci Bruckner, assistant director for Rural Policy and the Center for Rural Affairs. "Women Caring for the Land can help." During the discussion time at the church, the women heard from representatives from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Nebraska State Department of Agriculture. Rhonda McClure (second from left) gives a tour of The 12 attendees were able to ask questions and her family farm near Wahoo to women attending talk amongst themselves in an informal discusthe Women Caring for the Land program on June sion format about their individual conservation 30.

Women from all over eastern Nebraska and parts of Iowa attended the conference. Susan Sievers, a landowner from Iowa, came to the program because she's interested in implementing conservation efforts on her farm. "We have an area that had been developed into a wetland conservation area," Sievers said. She added that she was hoping to get more information about different easements that are available through the agencies. Farmers in their area have recently been contacted by representatives from a wind energy company asking for permission to investigate whether their land would work to develop wind energy on, she said. "I'm concerned about what they would bring onto the farm and what it would do to the conservation we've already done on the farm," Sievers said. After the program, the women did two farm tours where they were able to see conservation practices being implemented by the landowners there and also what sustainable agriculture practices were being used. Darby Springs Farm, the farm near Ceresco owned and operated by Powers and his wife, Crystal, was on the farm tour as well as Ewe and Us, a farm near Wahoo owned by Rhonda and Don McClure.

Summer School Includes Beans, Tractors, Microscopes By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald Another summer finds more new students coming into the BeanCAP program at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center in Scottsbluff. Charity Burkey and Danni Becker, both recent graduates of Scottsbluff High School, joined Scout Wilson, a veteran of the program, who also graduated high school this year. BeanCAP, a new program developed by UNL dry bean breeder Dr. Carlos Urrea, and researchers from other universities, gives students a chance to learn about dry edible bean breeding, as well as an opportunity to investigate new career options, and skills that will benefit their futures. All three have been working with Urrea for nearly a month, and are getting used to the humdrum as well as unexpected aspects of their summer jobs. So far, they have counted, by hand, more than 800,000 dry edible beans, or about 540 pounds. They will be planted in 15,000 rows, with 55 seeds each. These will make up the various test plots at PREC and grower locations. Counting beans wasn’t the main reason the students joined the summer operation. Burkey, who will attend the University of Wyoming this fall as an AgriBusiness major, took advantage of the opportunity because she likes plants. Becker, a biology major, is headed for the University of Missouri at Kansas City, likes just about anything based in agriculture and trying different things. Wilson will enroll at Western Nebraska Community College, and wants to continue studies in bean breeding. This will be his second summer in the PREC bean program. Wilson will remain in the program after classes start, so he will become familiar with harvest, and even selecting beans that will be shipped to New Zealand and Puerto Rico for additional study projects. So far, in addition to counting, they have planted beans in PREC test plots and in grower’s fields. They have also assisted in creating maps of the test plots on the computer. Their experiences in the lab and greenhouse will include pollinating, and cross breeding for various traits, including drought tolerance and resistance to diseases. Lessons learned so far have explained the process, and why they are doing something, rather than just doing a chore. Wilson also noted that
they learn what they are doing it for, which this summer will include improving nutritional traits. Greenhouse projects will focus on crossing varieties to improve resistance to bacterial wilt, bacterial brown spot, and common bacterial blight. The students will learn to innoculate plants for those studies. Among other things, they will also study Mendel’s Laws regarding genetics, growth habits, leaf temperatures, soil moisture, stress factors, and chlorophyll content. If there is time, they will also do molecular work in the lab with state-of-the-art equipment. “I’m very pleased with these students,” Urrea said. “They have helped with everything so far. They understand what needs to be done, and they learn quickly.” Past BeanCAP students, including WNCC volleyball players, have been hired for jobs because of the skills they learned in the program, such as DNA mapping. BeanCAP stands for Bean Coordinated Agricultural Project, and is designed to broaden the bean breeding application pool by initiating a training program focusing on early career recruitment and practical breeding/genetics training. The idea is to illustrate how the integration of genomic and phenotypic data can be used to improve nutritional traits in plants. Earlier participants included two WNCC and two high school students. About 15 to 20 students have been enrolled throughout the four universities participating in the program: the University of Nebraska, North Dakota State University, Michigan State University, and Colorado State University.

“This is a good program because the students are realizing how important it is to be exposed to breeding from the beginning to harvest,” Urrea said. “It is a way for them to learn about it before enrolling in university.” The program is open to students in other areas and at other schools.

THE HISTORY OF FAIRS Continued from page 1 During the early Christian era, the church took an active part in sponsoring fairs on feast days, and as a result, fairs came to be a source of revenue for the church. Possibly, our modern church bazaars possess some rudiments of these religious fairs. This evolution which blended religion and commerce continued over time and moved into western Europe. Periodic gatherings brought together the producers of all types of commodities for the purpose of barter, exchange and, finally, outright sale. To this marketplace were added entertainment and other forms of activity thus, these primitive market took on the aspect of fairs as we know them today.

In 1765, less than 300 years after Columbus finished his work in the New World, the first American fair was presented in Windsor, Nova Scotia. The same fair continues to operate today. In upper Canada, as Ontario was known in early Confederation, a fair was held in 1792, sponsored by the Niagara Agricultural Society. As with Windsor, the Niagara Fair remains in operation today. In addition, many small fairs were held during the early 1700's in French Canada while under French rule. Meanwhile, Elkanah Watson, a New England patriot and farmer, earned the title, "Father of US agricultural fairs" by organizing the Berkshire Agricultural Society and creating an event (known then as a Cattle Show) in Pittsfield, Massachusetts in September 1811. It was more than just an exhibit of animals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a competition, with prize money ($70) paid for the best exhibits of oxen, cattle, swine and sheep. Watson worked diligently for many years helping communities organize their own agricul-

tural societies and their respective shows (fairs). By 1819 most counties in New England had organized their own agricultural societies and the movement was spreading into the other states. The nineteenth century closed with almost every state and province having one or more agricultural fair or exhibition. The core elements of those agricultural society events of the early 1800s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those early fairs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are at the heart of the agricultural fair in North America today. Competition for the best agricultural and domestic products of the county and/or community (or region or state), an annual celebrate for the community to come together, to share, to learn. Today, over 3,200 fairs are held in North America each year. They provide industrial exhibits, demonstrations and competition aimed at the advancement of livestock, horticulture and agriculture with special emphasis placed on educational activities such as 4-H, FFA and similar youth development programs. While enjoying these high-minded pursuits, fair visitors are also able to see, hear, touch, smell and taste the richness and variety of what the world has to offer.

SURE Disaster Program Deadline Approaches for 2009 Crops WASHINGTON – Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today reminded producers that they have until Friday, July 29, 2011, to apply for assistance for 2009 crop losses under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program. The program provides crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production or quality losses. “USDA wants to ensure that all eligible producers are aware of the approaching deadline,” said Vilsack. “SURE covers producers on farms in disaster counties that incurred crop production, crop-quality losses or both, but in order to qualify, you need to file in a timely manner. I encourage anyone with questions to visit their local USDA Farm Service Agency Office.” The SURE program takes into consideration losses on all crops grown by a producer nation-

wide. To be eligible, producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance and obtained a policy or plan of insurance under the Federal Crop Insurance Act or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), for all economically significant crops. A producer must have a farming interest physically located in a county that was declared a primary disaster county or contiguous county by the Secretary of Agriculture under a Secretarial Disaster Designation or have actual production on the farm that was less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to a natural disaster. A limit of $100,000 per person and legal entity collectively received, directly and indirectly, applies to the combination of payments from SURE and the livestock disaster programs admin-
istered by FSA — Livestock Forage Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-raised Fish (ELAP). Persons or legal entities whose average nonfarm income exceeds $500,000 are not eligible for SURE payments. A producer interested in signing up for SURE for their 2009 crops must do so before close of business July 29, 2011, at the county FSA office servicing the producer. The sign-up for the SURE program for the 2010 crops will be announced at a later date.

Holdrege Gets the Dirt on Dirt By Jennifer Chick, The Kearney Hub HOLDREGE - Phelps County's rich agricultural history is rooted in some of the best soil in the nation. The Holdrege Soil Series was named the state's official soil in 1979 by the Nebraska Legislature. Only five states in the nation have legislatively designated state soils. "It is one of the most fertile soils not only in our state, but in the nation," John Thorburn, general manager of Tri-Basin Natural Resources District, said during a presentation for the Nebraska State Historical Society Friday morning. Thorburn made the presentation during NSHS Board of Director's quarterly meeting at Nebraska Prairie Museum. The historical society meets at locations outside of Lincoln several times each year to give board members a chance to experience other parts of the state while cutting travel time. "One of my personal goals as we go around the state to places like this is to get us a little better acquainted with the important natural features of our state of Nebraska," said Michael Smith, director of the State Historical Society, "which, of course, are striking and fantastic and underlying, no pun intended, all that we have done here in terms of settling this state, making it what it is today. We need to know more about this fantastic agricultural land that we have here in Phelps County and this part of the state." "Maybe not every day at a Nebraska State Historical Society meeting do you get to dig in the dirt," Thorburn said as he passed around a sample of Holdrege soil. The Holdrege Soil Series is made up of several horizontal layers. The first layer is a thick, dark-colored topsoil followed by a clay-
enriched subsoil, and then a substratum layer that contains free lime. The topsoil is described as having a crumby texture that drains well but can also hold between 10 and 11 inches of water that is available to plants within a five-foot depth. The lack of acidity in the soil, coupled with a high amount of organic matter, creates a high level of native fertility. This soil is why Phelps County regularly falls within the first or second spot in the state for corn production. The fertile soil occurrs in south-central Nebraska, Thorburn said, because glaciers advanced across Nebraska three or four times in the last 30 to 40 million years. "This area was never covered with glaciers, but it was not exactly a tropical paradise either during that time period," he said. "You can imagine, it was like the tundras of northern Alaska and Canada." Estimates were that the area had sustained winds of 50 to 60 mph for months at a time. "Wind was a major factor in the formation of the Holdrege soils, especially as the glaciers retreated," he said. The glaciers left behind silt-sized particles of rock, which Thorburn said is often referred to as glacial flour. This sediment was picked up by the wind and redeposited in great drifts across the state. Eventually, grasses started to grow in it and became the material that forms the A horizon, the top layer of the Holdrege Soil. "I have seen locations in Phelps County where that A horizon is four or five feet thick," Thorburn said. "For that thick of an organic layer is very unusual and very impressive." He said the Dust Bowl and the farming practices of that time period were very destructive to the topsoil, but modern farming practices are allowing the topsoil to regenerate.
"Soils can be renewed if they are well-takencare-of, and that is one of the great advances of agriculture is the minimum till that builds up the soil," he said. The Holdrege Soil also drains water easily, so surface water from the large amount of irrigation in Phelps County leaches down into the groundwater, creating a groundwater mound. Where other water tables are rapidly dropping, Thorbun said, since area farmers began irrigating, the water table has risen about 50 feet. "As we look forward to further development of our exhibit programs and our museum, these are the kinds of issues that I think are extremely important for not only visitors to our state, but for young people to know," Smith said. "With almost everyone in the state growing up in an urban area, where water is something that comes out of a faucet, rather than a rural area where water is something that makes your living, I think that is extremely important. As an old farm kid from Illinois driving past Phelps County, I always have a grin on my face because it is wonderful land."

Communication Technology Improving for Rural Nebraskans By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent The 2010 U.S. Census showed the continued population decline in much of rural Nebraska. But the good news is that those left are narrowing the digital divide. That was among the findings of the 2011 Nebraska Rural Poll. The 16th annual University of NebraskaLincoln poll, taken last March and April, found that 91 percent of rural Nebraskans own a cellphone, though how they use that technology varies significantly among demographic groups. Three-quarters of respondents use the Internet or email from home; 18 percent said they had no access at home. Bradley Lubben, a UNL public policy specialist who's part of the Rural Poll team, said the digital divide refers to the "gap between individuals, households, businesses and geographic areas in their access to communications technologies such as cellphones and Internet." Federal and state agencies have made it a priority in the last decade to shrink that gap, in large part through technological advances, Lubben said. Among those priorities are better access to health care and providing economic revitalization opportunities as a safety net to declining populations. Since 1980, the latest U.S Census information shows, Nebraska's rural population has declined by nearly 45,000 people, and the state's urban population has grown by more than 300,000. A challenge to providing improved communication technology is the state's population density. According to the 2010 census, Nebraska ranked 43rd in the nation with a population density of just 23.8 inhabitants per square mile. While technology gains and public programs have helped close the gap, other factors now may be more important, Lubben said.
"The digital divide is more about demographics and socio-economics than it is about technology," Lubben said. "That's important for policy makers to know because it means additional efforts to bridge the divide that are based solely on technology are unlikely to close the gap further." The poll found that women are more plugged into Internet and cellphone technology, said Randy Cantrell, rural sociologist with the Nebraska Rural Initiative. He said women in rural Nebraska tend to be better educated, more socially engaged and more frequent shoppers than men. Cantrell also said the poll shows that younger people, more educated people and people with higher household incomes were most likely to use the Internet and use their cellphones for activities other than voice calls. Of the 91 percent of poll respondents who own cellphones, he said the poll found 30 percent use them for voice calls only, 39 percent use messaging services in addition to voice calls, and 31 percent also use them to access the Internet. As for the Internet, the poll found that 80 percent of rural Nebraskans use it to research products or services; 78 percent for information related to hobbies and projects; 74 percent for health or medical information; 72 percent to purchase products; 60 percent to watch video on a video-sharing site; and 55 percent for social networking. According to the poll, 62 percent of rural Nebraskans have positive attitudes about the Internet's usefulness in taking formal courses to further their education or careers, and 77 percent say researching health information online can help people better manage their health. However, the poll found that rural Nebraskans retain a healthy skepticism about the reliability of modern technology, with 39 percent agreeing the quality of information found online is questionable. Twenty-one percent disagreed with that statement, and 40 percent had no opinion.

According to the poll, most rural Nebraskans also have positive opinions about shopping online. Sixty-five percent said the Internet is the best place to buy hard-to-find items, and 72 percent said it's convenient. Other concerns the poll found, Cantrell said, are that even among frequent online shoppers, 64 percent said they were reluctant to provide their credit card number or other information, and 65 percent said they preferred to see items before buying them. "People are not convinced it's a good deal, there's some things they don't like about it, but they do it anyway," as the simplicity and convenience of online shopping seem to trump concerns about it, Cantrell said. As for conducting government business online, the poll found that rural Nebraskans indicated some initial reservations, but those who tried it were overwhelmingly positive. Ninety percent of those who renewed driver's licenses or auto registrations online agreed it was convenient, while 79 percent who paid taxes, fees and fines online felt similarly. With online sites such as Twitter and Facebook, the poll found that rural Nebraskans view social networking as a good way to keep up with friends and family, provide support to people isolated by geography or disability, and obtain information or advice. But according to the poll, 56 percent of respondents said they don't trust that people on social network sites are accurately representing themselves and 67 percent think online social networks have replaced face-to-face communication. Rural Poll surveys were mailed to about 6,400 randomly selected households in Nebraska's 84 non-metropolitan counties. Results are based on 2,490 responses. Complete poll results are available online at cari.unl.edu/ruralpoll/report11.shtml.
