Schedule of Events By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub GRAND ISLAND - Natural resources district and county Emergency Management officials in the Big Bend region of the Platte River are making midsummer plans to take quick action against winter ice jams. The Central Platte NRD board approved an interlocal agreement Thursday to contribute $20,000, or 40 percent, for a $50,000 escrow account that could be tapped immediately. CPNRD Assistant Manager and Projects Director Milt Moravek said the goal is to prevent a repeat of last winter's problems from a 50mile-long ice jam. He met with Holdrege-based TriBasin NRD officials and emergency management directors from Dawson, Buffalo, Hall, Merrick, Polk, Hamilton, Phelps, Kearney and Platte counties about contributing funds proportionate to their miles of river. Tri-Basin has budgeted its $5,000, Moravek said, and the counties are being asked to contribute $1,600,

$2,400 or $3,450 for fiscal year 2012. "Since we have basically the entire stretch (185 miles), Central Platte would pay the lion's share," he said. The account can be tapped in an ice emergency. Moravek said that if some or all of the money is spent, the account will be rebuilt the next fiscal year using the same proportions for new contributions. The other key component is to have a permit in hand from state and federal Emergency Management agencies and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, "So we can proceed with some type of action without needing to get another permit," he said. Action options could include mechanically removing ice, applying a melting agent such as ash or using explosives, Moravek said. The steps to initiate action would start with CPNRD General Manager Ron Bishop or a county Emergency Management director determining that ice is creating an "imminent threat of widespread or severe damage, injury, or loss of life or property."

For daily agriculture news, updates and local happenings, visit the Heartland Express website at www.myfarmandranch.com

The agreement includes a list of local, state and federal parties who must be consulted. A designated "implementing officer" would identify people or entities qualified for the action selected. "It's actually something that can be done in one day," with the permit in place, said Moravek, who used a Lower Platte Basin ice jam agreement as a template. He said he couldn't guarantee that all the counties will approve and fund the Central Platte plan this fiscal year, even with their emergency managers' enthusiasm for the idea, but he recommended that CPNRD directors initiate it for 2012 if the majority of parties agree. Platte program update CPNRD Biologist Mark Czaplewski reported Thursday that the three-state Platte River Recovery Implementation Program needs fewer than 1,400 acres of protected habitat land in the Central Platte region to reach the program's first increment goal of 10,000 acres.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report Intense heat and high humidity made much of the past two weeks unbearable for man and/or beast. The intense heat has been identified as the main culprit in regards to pollination problems that seem to be fairly widespread across much of Nebraska through the Allen Dutcher eastern corn belt. A lack of significant rainfall during much of this period for northeast and southeast Nebraska has led to the upgrade of abnormally dry conditions on this weeks U.S. Drought Monitor. The recent cool down and rain activity was welcome, but more significant moisture is needed in the drier areas of the state to alleviate concerns regarding adequate moisture for grain fill and

stave off further drought degradation in eastern Nebraska. Week One Forecast, 8/6 - 8/12: The return to highs in the 80's experienced the past 3 days gave us a break from the dreadful July heat. Seasonable temperatures are projected by weather models for this forecast period as high are projected to remain in the 80's to low 90's. The upper air ridge responsible for the recent heat wave will remain south of the state early in the period, then shift towards the southwestern U.S. during the second half of the period when Nebraska will be under a northwesterly flow in the upper atmosphere. Since Nebraska will be on the ridge periphery for much of the period, there will be a daily chance for thunderstorms. Current model projections indicate the best widespread moisture opportunities will be on 8/8 and 8/11 as a couple of pieces of energy rotate around the upper air ridge. Outside of a dry forecast for 8/7, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible on any of the remaining days, with the western half of

the state assigned the highest probabilities. High temperatures: 8/6 (83 N - 92 S), 8/7 (78 NE - 90 W), 8/8-8/10 (81 NE - 92 SW), 8/11-8/12 (78 NW - 90 S). Week Two Forecast, 8/13 - 8/19 Models indicate that the upper air ridge will begin to build back into the southern and central Plains during this forecast period. Above normal temperatures would be expected under this scenario, but current model projections are not pointing to 100+ F heat. The best precipitation chances are assigned to 8/13 for the eastern 3/4 of the state and 8/16 for scattered thunderstorms across the western half of Nebraska. Dry conditions are currently the choice of weather models for the remaining days in this period, with only a 20-30% chance of isolated thunderstorms. High temperatures: 8/13 (86 NE - 95 SW), 8/14 (89 N E - 98 SW), 8/15(86 NE - 98 SW), 8/16 (87 N E - 95 SW), 8/17 (92 NE 98 SW), 8/18-8/19(90 NE - 98 SW).

Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending July 31, 2011, above normal temperatures impacted both crops and livestock, with high humidity adding to livestock stress, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Wheat and hay harvest progressed with the dry conditions and irrigation was active in most areas. Aerial applications of fungicides and insecticides were occurring where needed. Weather Summary: Temperatures averaged 3 degrees above normal. Highs reached triple digits, but were mainly in mid to upper 90’s. Lows were recorded mostly in the 60’s. Rainfall was highest in the Southeast District while the Panhandle received only a trace. Field Crops Report: Corn condition rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 16 fair, 56 good, and 21 excellent. Irrigated corn conditions rated 80 percent good to excellent and dryland corn rated 74. Corn silked was 89 percent, behind 94 last year and 90 average. Corn in dough stage was 17 percent, behind 25 last year and average. Soybean condition rated 1 percent very poor, 4 poor, 20 fair, 58 good, and 17 excellent, below 78 percent good to excellent last year but above 68 average. Soybeans blooming were 81 percent, behind 88 last year and 85 average. Soybean acreage setting pods were at 35 percent, behind 45 last year and 46 average.

Wheat harvest was 87 percent complete, behind 93 last year and 6 days behind 96 average.

Mid-summer Lawn & Garden Issues Noel Mues, Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Extension Furnas County I will address several topics that usually come up during discussions with home owners concerning their lawns and gardens during the hot part of summer. Summer annual weeds (spurge, purslane, crabgrass & more) will continue to germinate and grow throughout the summer, and if it rains or as a result of regular watering, conditions will be ideal for weed growth. Positively identify weeds to determine the most effective herbicide for good control. Perennial weeds are not well controlled with summer herbicide applications. Evaluate why turfgrass is not competing with weeds. Consider management changes such as a higher mowing height, avoiding nitrogen fertilizer during summer and regular core aeration to improve turf growth. If weeds are a problem in areas of thin turfgrass stands, plan to overseed in September to improve turf coverage and minimize weed problems. Annual broadleaf weeds in turf can be killed with spot applications of 2, 4-D based herbicides. Do not spray herbicides anytime air temperature is above 90 degrees, or when wind speed is above 10 miles per hour. In many cases, it will likely be best to wait until midSeptember or later when herbicides are most effective and least risk to ornamentals. Crabgrass Control in Homelawns - If only one application of pre-emergence herbicide has been made to the lawn or ornamental bed to control crabgrass and other annual weeds, now is the time to make a second application. This will prevent additional weeds from germinating in the later part of the summer. In ornamental plantings, hand removal by hoeing or pulling will help. Or make very careful spot applications of herbicide to kill the weeds. If necessary, reapply mulch to thin areas to provide additional weed control. Summer Patch and Necrotic Ring Spot are root\infecting diseases in Kentucky bluegrass lawns. Their symptoms are some of the most difficult to manage, and control of the disease is even more difficult. Although these diseases differ slightly in when they attack the roots, the pathogens generally are active in the late spring to early summer. Roots that are infected cannot take up and transfer water efficiently to the rest of the plant, thus symptoms become visible later in the summer when drought stress begins. Symptoms appear as yellow\tan arcs, rings, or frogeyes in affected turf and the yellowing gives way to dormant or dead turf in these same patterns. Symptoms are most severe on lawns with 0.75 inches of thatch or more, as most of the roots are growing in the thatch. Since thatch doesn’t hold much water, these lawns are the first to show symptoms. These symptoms also tend to be more pronounced on sodded lawns that were poorly prepared (insufficient tillage) prior to sodding because roots cannot penetrate deeply into the soil and thus are susceptible to drought stress. A damp spring further exaggerates symptoms because of overall shallow rooting in water\logged soils. Over\irrigation over multiple years also favors these diseases by increasing thatch accumulation. Symptoms usually take two to three years to surface after sodding and three to six years on seeded lawns, depending primarily on the accumulation of thatch. Symptoms tend to diminish over multiple years. Brown patch causes roughly circular patches of dead and dying grass. Tan colored, irregularly shaped leaf lesions with reddish margins are found on leaf blades. Preventive applications of Prostar (commercial use), Bayleton, and chlorothalonil (Daconil) do a fairly good job of suppressing brown patch when applied at monthly intervals in June, July, and August. Curative applications of chlorothalonil beginning a few days after

symptoms of brown patch develop may suppress injury. In many cases, lawns damaged by brown patch recover in two to three weeks, provided the outbreak is not sustained by continuous hot, humid weather and treatment may not be necessary. Tomato Leaf Curling - There are a variety of causes of leaf curling in tomatoes ranging from environmental conditions, disease, or herbicide injury. If leaves are rolling, but are not distorted or turning brown, this is most likely leaf roll. When tomato plants grow vigorously in mild, spring weather the top growth often exceeds root development. When the first few days of warm, dry summer weather hit, the plant increases root development and reduces leaf area by rolling leaves. The leaves curl along the length of the leaf in an upward fashion. Leaf roll is worse on some varieties than others. Though rolling usually occurs during the spring to summer shift period, it may also occur after heavy cultivation or hoeing, hard rain, or any sudden change in weather. Too much rain can saturate the soil and suffocate the roots. A root system lacking oxygen cannot move water to the upper parts of the plant resulting in the same symptoms that occur with too little soil moisture or a limited root system. Avoid deep hoeing close to plants, mulch to keep the soil cooler and to moderate moisture extremes and do a good job of watering by keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Leaf roll is a temporary condition that goes away after a week or so when the plant has a chance to recover from injury, or the soil has a chance to dry out.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Fake-cation by Lee Pitts

This summer it has become obvious to me that most Americans simply don’t have any idea how to vacation properly. Lugging the family through airport security only to be mistreated in Europe is not a vacation, it’s hard work. Who can enjoy staying in a nice hotel knowing that for every night you stay you could have made one house payment? I read recently that 70% of people connect with work while on vacation! That’s not a vacation, it’s a fake-cation. Heck, I don’t even connect with my wife when I’m vacationing. Whatever happened to the good old American tradition of going camping for the annual family ordeal? And I’m not talking about loading up the family in a 42 foot motor home with satellite TV, hot showers, HDTV, Internet access and four slide-outs. I’m talking about a real camping trip where the only thing in your ear is a treble hook from a wayward cast. Here are a few other things that camping is NOT: • You are not camping if there is a gift shop within 60 miles of your campsite. • There are no beds or 300 thread count sheets on a real camping trip. You sleep in a sleeping bag on the ground, not on a mattress, cot, or blow-up bed. You must be fully exposed to things that slither on the ground. As for a pillow? That’s what rocks are for. Try to find a soft one. • Speaking of blow-up beds, you can’t use a generator or a compressor on a real

camping trip because the noise they make might scare off the bears and mountain lions. • You must leave your I pads, I pods, laptops, phones, video games and even your GPS at home to be truly camping, so that if there is an emergency back home the only way the authorities will be able to get in touch with you is by contacting the Highway Patrol and by putting out an allpoints bulletin or Amber alert for you. Now that’s camping! • Rugs, microwaves and food processors have no place in a proper campsite. Meals are never catered and the only prepared foods you’re allowed to bring from home are marshmallows, Graham Crackers, chocolate and wieners. You hunt and fish for your food and if you fail in your quest, you tighten your belt a notch or two. And there’s no cheating: no scopes for your guns or fish finders on your boat. You’ll fish from the shore like the rest of us. If you don’t have to hide your food from bears you are not camping. You big sissy! • Recently I saw in the Cabelas catalog (the Bible for campers), an entire section of “camp furniture.” I love Cabelas but shame on them! Chaise lounges, rockers, zero gravity chairs, fold-up kitchens, and showers are not allowed on a real camping trip. Neither are heaters, air conditioners, espresso machines, coffee makers, refrigerators, saxophones, electric porta potties or

bio-toilets. (Don’t forget the shovel.) You are definitely NOT camping if you use a restroom, outhouse, bidet, liquid soap, extra soft toilet paper, deodorant or room deodorizer. If you stink, or are sharing a sleeping bag with your spouse, spray on a little more OFF, which might also keep some of the more sensitive insects away. • Heat is supplied by the campfire for which you must gather sticks or dried up and old cow pies. (The fresh ones are hard to light.) You must be two hours away by helicopter from the nearest emergency room doctor and there must be plenty of unidentifiable insects, ants in the food, scorpions and snakes in the sleeping bag. Also, plenty of ghosts and Bigfoot sightings for the kids. No mosquito nets or shaving either! • Anything you might buy to make your vacation experience more enjoyable should be left at home. You aren’t supposed to enjoy a camping trip vacation... you are supposed to survive it. You must endure extreme discomfort so that when the vacation is over and you come home with marshmallows in your filthy hair, poison oak, first degree sunburn and a scrapbook full of memories, you’ll also have a greater appreciation for toilets, food without sand in it, beds and your otherwise boring life. Now that’s a vacation!

May 28, 2011 - January 8, 2012 Guest Curated by Bridget Long Mosaic quilts are eye-dazzling textiles made from thousands of precisely-shaped fabrics formed with the use of templates. The technique was used in the British Isles as early as the 1700s and also became popular in other parts of Europe, as well as in British colonies, including America. This exhibition will trace the development of the style and presents many stunning examples of an exacting and time-consuming art. The eighteenth century was the period when British patchwork blossomed as a domestic decorative needlecraft. Mosaic patchwork was made first with silks, then later with cotton and linens as the taste for printed cloths grew towards the end of the eighteenth century. Most surviving mosaic patchwork from this period was made by wrapping fabric pieces over paper pieces then whipstitching them together. The technique allowed the maker to use virtually any shape to create elaborate figurative imagery. Most makers, however, chose to make mosaic patchwork of tessellated (tiled or repeating) patterns, most often using hexagons, triangles, and diamonds. The technique, often referred to as paper piecing, was transported to North America with British settlers and through the continued cultural exchange between the United States and Britain. Using items in the IQSCM collection

drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, the exhibition considers the use of the mosaic patchwork technique into the twentieth century and will include an 1844 signature quilt from a prominent Quaker family, the Scattergoods, as well as one of the earliest quilts in the IQSCM collection, a 1796 hexagon mosaic by Anna Ruggles of the UK. Visitors will enjoy learning about an early quilt style, connecting it to familiar styles today such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flower Gardenâ&#x20AC;? pattern. The exhibition will reveal many interconnections between American quiltmaking and its British roots. Bridget Long, guest exhibition curator, is an authority on early British quilts and quiltmaking. She has been an IQSC Associate Fellow since 2004. In 2009, she was awarded the International Quilt Study Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Fellowship to study the IQSCMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early mosaic patchwork quilts and investigate relationships between American and British versions. In residence for two weeks, she carefully examined and documented mosaic patchwork quilts from both sides of the Atlantic. This exhibition emanates from her fellowship research. Her careful study has enriched our knowledge of the collections and has informed the first quilt exhibition in the United States to focus on the mosaic patchwork technique within a Transatlantic historical context. She is currently pursuing her PhD at the University of Hertforshire on the topic of Anonymous Needlework: British Patchwork 1680-1815.

The Debate in Washington Has Changed by Congressman Adrian Smith Grand Island Office 1811 West Second Street, Suite 105 Grand Island, NE68803 Phone: (308) 384-3900 Fax: (308) 384-3902

Over the last seven months the conversation in Washington has changed. For too long, Congress focused on how much government could spend, but now the debate has shifted to how we can stop spending money we do not have. The American people, who understand the status quo of excess government spending is no longer acceptable, have transformed the debate through their willingness to speak up and demand change. At the beginning of 2011, President Obama requested the largest debt increase limit in history. Because no spending cuts were attached, he essentially requested a blank check. The American people spoke out in opposition, Congress listened, and the President’s request was defeated by a bipartisan majority. Then, he shifted his ask to a “balanced” approach – equal parts spending cuts and tax hikes. Once again, American workers and job creators made it known such a decision would be detrimental to an already fragile economy,

and once again, President Obama gave up on his request. By listening to the American people, Congress passed legislation on August 1 which ended the uncertainty of a potential national default; and it did so by sticking to principles of smaller government. The amended Budget Control Act of 2011 immediately cuts spending, caps future spending, and clears the way for a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. This legislation, which cleared the House with bipartisan support, is the direct product of the American people’s demands for Congress to get serious about its spending addiction and address our debt crisis. While far from perfect, it demonstrates how much the terms of the debate in Washington have changed. The immediate reductions may be small relative to the size of the problem, but the change in direction is historic. There is no question greater spending cuts would have been preferred, but for the first time in our nation’s history, every dollar of debt limit increase will

be matched by more than one dollar in spending cuts. Additionally, discretionary federal spending will be cut for the second consecutive year – a first in the course of modern federal budgeting. In addition to the immediate spending cuts, the Budget Control Act paves the way for a guaranteed vote on a balanced budget amendment in both the House and Senate for the first time in 15 years. Its inclusion is a significant development to change the out-of-control spending cycles. Washington’s inability to control spending on its own makes it clear the only effective way to do so is through an amendment to the Constitution. Our commitment to cutting up Washington’s credit cards continues. Controlling spending, saving future generations from national bankruptcy, and shrinking the size of the federal government will remain top priorities as we continue moving forward on this long road to get our fiscal house in order.

A Summer of Floods, Finances, and Fallen Heroes by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725

This has been a very emotional summer for many Nebraskans who’ve met with me on a variety of topics including those who’ve lost homes and livelihoods in historic flooding, seniors who are concerned that they’re going to be made the scapegoat in cutting the national debt, and the family of one of our fellow Nebraskans who died in service to our country. Flood – Swift Action During visits to a number of areas hit by the flood, there was a central theme. They need help from the federal government as soon as possible. Each person has a heartbreaking story and it made me commit to do all I can in working closely with state and federal officials to help those who’ve been displaced get the help they need. There is flood insurance for people who are insured and there is crop insurance for farmers. For those who are not insured there is the possibility of individualized assistance. The point I’ve tried to stress to flood victims is that Congress should do whatever it can in these tight budget times to address their hardships and do it quickly.

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

I also assured flood victims that there will be Congressional hearings into this year’s flooding and what can be done to keep it from happening again. Already I have met with a group of my fellow senators along the Missouri River to question the Army Corps of Engineers, determine how much water storage capacity is needed in upstream dams, and what it will take to repair damage to levees caused by the floods. Finances – Cut Spending Moving from floods to the debt debate, I’m following the debt ceiling negotiations carefully and want to reiterate that I do not favor tax increases. The U.S. needs to cut spending in order to bring down the debt. However, I oppose efforts to balance the budget on the backs of the elderly. There are 239,000 Nebraskans on Medicare and about 300,000 Nebraskans that receive Social Security. That’s not an obligation we can turn our back on. We have an obligation to fulfill our promise to them and I will fight against efforts to make

seniors pay for the lack of fiscal discipline in Washington. Fallen Hero – Street Named in Honor Recently, I had the distinct honor of delivering remarks at a ceremony that named a street in Bellevue, Nebraska in honor of a Nebraskan, Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey L. Chaney, who was killed while trying to dismantle a bomb in Iraq in 2007. As I said to those gathered, which included members of his family, it is important to celebrate and remember our heroes and Jeff Chaney is most certainly a genuine, red, white and blue American hero. Jeff Chaney gave his life for liberty. He gave his life trying to save others. It is the mark of heroism and his sacrifice makes our nation stronger. My hope is that when future generations see his name on that street in Bellevue it will cause them to think about the sacrifices our military men and women have made on our behalf. I know that’s what I’ll do because that’s what makes this such a great country.

Debt Agreement A First Step by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

The agreement reached this week in Washington to raise the debt ceiling and cut spending marks an important $2 trillion reduction in government spending that has been stuck on auto-pilot in the wrong direction. While this is a good start, let there be no mistake that there's still much more work to be done. Congress must use this agreement as a first step in a serious process toward reversing the mountain of debt we still face. Raising the debt ceiling was unfortunate, but necessary to send a signal to the world that we will pay our bills. It's now time to get serious not only about slowing the growth of government, but getting our fiscal house in order and back on a sustainable path. The agreement will raise the debt ceiling in two increments, which is not an authorization of new spending, but an allowance to pay for the spending that's already been passed. In previous columns, I wrote of the serious need to

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

meet these obligations. I studied the Treasury Department's books for August, and there's simply no question this was the right move – the stock market, interest rates, jobs, and the value of the dollar were all at risk. As with the debt ceiling increase, spending cuts will also come in two phases. The first goes into effect immediately, and reduces our projected deficit by $917 billion over the next ten years. These new cuts, though still just the first step, represent a shift in not only the spending numbers of our federal government, but its overall fiscal philosophy. To enact the second step of cuts, the agreement authorizes the creation of a joint bipartisan, 12-member Congressional committee. This committee is tasked with crafting legislation to cut an additional $1.5 trillion in spending, and will take a hard look at every facet of the federal government. It is time to address our unsustainable entitlement

spending with an eye for getting it back on the right track. The agreement also mandates a vote on a Constitutional Balanced Budget Amendment, of which I am a co-sponsor and a strong supporter. This agreement is only the beginning, yet reducing the deficit by as much as $2.4 trillion is a positive step toward less spending and smaller government. As recently as last year, the debate in Washington was about how much more to spend. Today, it's about how much to cut. This is the right direction, but we must remain vigilant if we wish to continue this trend until future generations are no longer burdened with crushing debt. I will continue to fight for a government that responsibly spends your tax dollars, encourages job creation, and passes a healthy and prosperous country on to our next generation.

Corn trade was mixed in early trade this week but buying interest returned to the market on Tuesday following the passage of the debt bill through Congress. The weekly net change is 41 higher on the September contract and December is up 45. Weather views remain mixed with rain still in the forecasts, but the extent of damage following the recent heat remains unknown. Speculation developed late last week and early this week that corn in drought stricken areas has begun to abort near the tips. On Tuesday private field surveys confirmed that damage had, in fact, occurred due to the heat, but specifics were not given. This, along with passage of the debt ceiling bill led to limit up trade on Tuesday. FC Stone released updated yield projections early this week following the supportive field surveys. They estimated corn yield at 153.2 bushels per acre, which was 5 bushels lower versus the current USDA estimate; the recent Linn Group estimate was 152.1 bushels per acre and Informa's estimates are expected on Thursday. Outside market items have been negative this week. The DOW posted 8 consecutive down days and crude oil has slipped back below $92. The energy markets are not supporting higher corn trade, and this rally will eventually fail if the weak energy trade persists long enough to significantly affect ethanol margins. The weekly export sales were within expectations this week; 297,400 tons of old crop were reported and 461,200 tons of new crop were sold. On the weekly report, 83% of the crop is silking versus the 84% 5-year average and 92% last year. Eighteen percent of the crop was in the dough stage versus the 23% 5-year average. Crop conditions were unchanged at 62% good to excellent. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and spillover support from the corn market. The weekly net change is 38 higher on the September Chicago contract, KC is up 31, and Minneapolis is up 14. Early this week, a private Ukrainian crop analyst group estimated that July exports there were only 334,000 tons which is down from 1.78 million in June. They did not indicate, however, whether or not this was due to diminishing reserves or declining foreign demand. On Wednesday, Russia's Ag Ministry estimated wheat harvest to date at 27 million tons. Yields there have rebounded to 3.32 million tons per hectare which is up from 2.5 million last year. Despite rising production estimates in Europe, The USDA ag attach to Canada estimated on Thursday that wheat harvest in Canada will drop an estimated 3% due to lower planted acres. Domestically, quality issues should also limit downside due to surveys earlier this week that indicated increased exposure to vomitoxin. The weekly export sales report listed 499,600 tons for the 11/12 year, and 4,500 tons for 12/13. Combined, they were toward the high side of expectations. The weekly crop progress report listed the winter wheat harvest at 81% complete versus the 86% 5year average; spring wheat heading was listed at 90% versus the 98% 5-year average. Spring wheat conditions slipped 4% to 70% good to excellent..

Soybean trade has been higher in active trade this week. The weekly net change is 15 higher on the September contract and November is up 16. Strength developed early this week following the passage of the debt bill in the Senate and the subsequent rally in the corn market. At midweek, FC Stone estimated the US soybean crop at 3.145 billion bushels yesterday; they used a yield of 42.4 bushels per acre which implies harvest acres of 74.2 million. The Linn Group released a 43 bushel per acre and 3.148 billion bushel total estimate on Wednesday. Informa will release updated production estimates on Thursday which should direct trade the remainder of the week In addition to declining domestic production estimates, global production is thought to be declining as well. The International Grains Council revised world soybean production estimates early this week to 263.4 million tons which was down 1% from previous estimates. They cited declining acres in both the US and China as the reason for the decline. The Argentine Ag Minister reported on Tuesday that the June soybean crush was 3.3 million tons, which was down nearly 11% versus year ago levels. January through July crush totals, however, were 18.1 million tons which was up from 16.2 million over the same period last year. Both foreign and domestic crush rates will need to remain supportive, but the recent declines over the past two months indicate a slowing demand pace in response to higher prices. If lower demand items are confirmed on next week’s USDA Supply and Demand report, then renewed selling interest is likely. On the weekly report, crop condition was reported at 60% good to excellent which was down 2% from last week. The crop progress report indicated that 77% of the crop is blooming versus the 81% 5-year average; 34% were setting pods versus the 45% 5-year average. The weekly export sales were disappointing with only 10,500 tons of old crop and 362,200 tons of new crop reported. Meal sales were within expectations at 83,500 tons of old crop and 11,200 tons of new crop. Oil sales were reported at 9,600 tons of old crop and 2,000 tons of new crop. Hedgers call with questions.

ICE JAM ACTION PLAN OK'D BY CPNRD Continued from page 1 Negotiations continue on about 150 acres, and more potential tracts are being evaluated, he said. Meanwhile, the program's Governance Committee passed a public access policy to allow limited hunting and fishing on some properties. Czaplewski said the policy will be administered by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. The committee is proceeding on the water component of the plan, focusing on possible construction of a reservoir downstream from the Central Nebraska Public Power District's J-2 return on the south side of the river. The goal is to store water diverted through the Phelps Canal into the CNPPID-owned reservoir in times of excess and release it into the river when needed. Czaplewski said there still are more questions than answers about the proposal, but early estimates are that the reservoir could hold about 40,000 acre-feet of water annually and cost around $50 million to develop, build and manage.

"It's the program's first and biggest bite of the apple, so to speak," he said. Smaller recharge projects also will contribute to the goal of reducing river depletions. The CPNRD directors approved an agreement Thursday with three Gothenburg-Cozad area irrigation projects - Cozad Ditch Co., 30-Mile Co. and South Side Irrigation Co. - to lease use of their canals in the off season to hold excess river flows, when available. Water would seep from the canals into groundwater hydrologically connected to the Platte River. Bishop said the project depends on CPNRD getting an instream flow water right from the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources to make the canal diversions. In addition to the river credits Central Platte would gain, he said some water may be leased to Tri-Basin and Twin-Platte NRDs.

Otoe County Fair

The earliest such a project could be used is the fall of 2012, "but that's probably overly optimistic," he added. DU agreement Jonas Davis and Steve Donovan of Ducks Unlimited in Grand Island gained CPNRD approval to work together on a project to retire irrigation on land near the river that will be restored as waterfowl habitat. The goals are for CPNRD to add credits to its water bank, for Ducks Unlimited to develop habitat and for the landowner to be paid for retiring irrigation water use. Davis and Donovan said the landowner payment could be the local match required for a North American Wetlands Conservation Act grant to fund the habitat work. "The way I see it, this would kind of recruit customers for our water bank," Bishop said. Donovan called it a pilot project and said he knows other landowners along the Platte River who are interested in improving waterfowl habit.

Natural Sources of Nitrogen for Plant Growth Tom Dorn, UNL Extension Educator

non-leguminous broadleaf crops (e.g., sunflowers, potatoes, sugar beets, cotton, etc.) are not colonized by nitrogen fixing bacteria and must obtain the nitrogen they need from the soil. In addition to nitrogen fixed by Rhizobium bacteria, other natural sources are used as a source of nitrogen. These sources include: mineralization of organic matter which releases nitrogen that can be utilized by plants, and nitrogen released as plant residues are broken down in the soil. Animal waste is a good source of natural nitrogen as well. Barnyard or poultry manure and other animal waste products (e.g., bat guano) were used as a source of supplemental nitrogen long before inorganic nitrogen fertilizer came into popular use. Biosolids, a byproduct of the sewage treatment process, are utilized by many farmers in Lancaster County. Manure and biosolids supply nitrogen, phosphorus, and many other nutrients required for plant growth. Repeated applications of manure and/or biosolids also increase soil organic matter levels

Some plants â&#x20AC;&#x153;make their own nitrogen.â&#x20AC;? If a legume (i.e., clovers, soybeans, alfalfa) is colonized by certain strains of Rhizobium bacteria, nodules will form on the plant roots where the bacteria live and reproduce. Within these nodules, a symbiotic relationship develops between the bacteria and the host plant. The bacteria utilize plant sugars as a source of energy and, in turn, â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixâ&#x20AC;? nitrogen, converting nitrogen gas in the soil into forms of nitrogen that can be used by the plant. Once nodules form, the plant usually receives all of the nitrogen necessary for plant growth from that â&#x20AC;&#x153;fixedâ&#x20AC;? by the bacteria. When planting a legume crop, UNL recommends inoculating the seed with the appropriate strain of Rhizobium bacteria unless the same legume crop has been planted in the field within the last three years. Given the small expense for inoculant, especially as compared to making a nitrogen fertilizer application in the absence of sufficient nodules to supply the needs of the crop, many folks will â&#x20AC;&#x153;play it safeâ&#x20AC;? and inoculate every time they plant a legume. Other crops, including all grass crops (e.g., corn, sorghum, wheat, forage grasses, etc.) and

over time and improve water infiltration and cation exchange capacity in the soil. Organic Sources of Nitrogen Composted plant residues, legume crops such as red clover or vetch, are plowed under as green manure and animal wastes are used as a source of nitrogen by organic crop producers. A small amount of nitrogen (a few pounds per acre per year) is also contributed by rainfall in the form of nitric acid (HNO3), which when dissolved in the water in the soil disassociates into hydrogen and nitrate ions. The nitric acid is formed when nitrogen and oxygen gases are combined with rain water by the intense heat of a lightening bolt during a thunderstorm.

USDA Announces Commodity Credit Corporation Lending Rates for August 2011 WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) today announced interest rates for August 2011. The CCC borrowing rate-based charge for August 2011 is 0.125 percent, unchanged from 0.125 in July 2011. For 1996 and subsequent crop year commodity and marketing assistance loans, the interest rate for loans disbursed during August 2011 is 1.125 percent, unchanged from 1.125 in July 2011. In accordance with the 2008 Farm Bill, interest rates for Farm Storage Facility Loans approved for August 2011 are as follows, 2.250 percent with seven-year loan terms, down from 2.375 in July 2011; 3.000 percent with 10-year loan terms, unchanged from 3.000 in July 2011 and; 3.375 percent with 12-year loan terms, up

from 3.250 percent in July 2011. The interest rate for Sugar Storage Facility Loans for August 2011 is 3.625 percent, unchanged from 3.625 in July 2011. The maximum discount rate applicable for August 2011 for the Tobacco Transition Payment Program is 5 percent, unchanged from July 2011. This is based on the 3.250 percent prime rate plus 2 percent, rounded to the nearest whole number. Past monthly releases announcing interest rates charged by CCC on commodity and marketing assistance loans disbursed for that particular month reflect the interest rate the U.S. Treasury charged CCC for that month. This was the interest rate specified by CCC since Jan. 1, 1982, but the process of estab-

lishing the interest rate was changed by a provision of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (the Act), enacted on April 4, 1996. Section 163 of the Act requires that monthly interest rates applicable to commodity and marketing assistance loans are to be 100 basis points — or 1 percent — greater than the rate determined under the applicable interest rate formula in effect on Oct. 1, 1995. This formula resulted in a rate equivalent to the amount the U.S. Treasury charged CCC for borrowing, for the month. Further program information is available from USDA Farm Service Agency's (FSA) Financial Management Division at (703) 3051386.

USDA Makes Funds Available to Meet Urgent Credit Needs of Producers WASHINGTON - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today that a high demand for guaranteed farm ownership and direct farm operating funds has prompted USDA to transfer appropriated funds between programs as authorized by law, to meet the urgent credit needs of producers, including beginning and minority farmers and ranchers. "Demand is strong for direct operating loans and guaranteed farm ownership loans, while demand for subsidized guaranteed operating loans has stabilized," said Vilsack. "With these funds, we can help thousands of producers establish and maintain their family farming operations and obtain long-term credit assistance through a commercial lender." The transfer will make an additional $100 million in loan funds available for the direct operating loan program, providing 1,600 small, beginning and minority farmers with resources

to establish and maintain their family farming operations. In addition, $400 million in loan funds will be made available for the guaranteed farm ownership loan program giving an additional 1,000 family farmers access to commercial lending backed by USDA. Both programs had run out of funds resulting in a backlog of approved but unfunded loan applications. This measure will allow all of the backlogged loans to be funded and provide sufficient funds to meet the needs of new loan applicants for these programs while at the same time leaving sufficient funding for the subsidized guaranteed farm operating loans program to meet the expected demand for fiscal year 2011. Producers needing additional direct operating or longer term guaranteed farm ownership loans funds are encouraged to make application at their local Farm Service Agency office.

Alert: Take Steps Now to Prevent West Nile Virus Barb Ogg, UNL Extension Educator Lancaster County residents who live near wetlands or on acreages have been plagued by mosquitoes this summer. The rainfall events in May and June are providing ample breeding sites. Culex tarsalis, the primary vector of West Nile virus, feeds on nesting birds in the spring and early summer, but after breeding season is over, it begins to feed on other mammals, including humans. Cases of human West Nile encephalitis (virus) show up beginning in July. Most people — about 80% according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — will have few or no symptoms from the bite of an infected mosquito. But, some individuals will develop West Nile fever. Symptoms include fever, headache, tiredness, and body aches, occasionally with a skin rash (on the trunk of the body), and swollen lymph glands. These symptoms show up 2–15 days after the bite of an infected mosquito and may last a few days to a week or two. These symptoms resemble the flu, so many people don’t even go to the doctor. More serious illness can occur in people of any age. However, people over age 50 and some immunocompromised persons (for example, transplant patients), are at the highest risk of

HOT WEATHER DRAGS DOWN CORN... Continued from page 1 was 77 percent good or excellent, compared to 80 percent the previous week. Irrigated corn was rated 80 percent good or excellent (the same as the previous week) and dryland corn was rated 74 percent good or excellent (compared to 79 percent the previous week.) As the above-normal temperatures heated up the Nebraska landscape during July, the condition of dryland corn has continued to slip. For the week ending July 10, dryland corn was rated 84 percent good or excellent and irrigated corn was rated 85 percent good or excellent. This year, the USDA had reported that Nebraska farmers planted 10 million acres of corn for all purposes, up 9 percent from last year and the largest total since 1933. Last year, Nebraska ranked third in the nation in corn for grain production with 1,469 billion bushels. Of the 9.15 million acres of corn planted in the state, 31 percent was dryland acres. Nationwide, the USDA reported that for the 18 major corn-growing states, 62 percent of the crop was rated either good or excellent, identical to the previous week, but down by 9 percent from two weeks ago. For surrounding states, corn conditions were rated 75 percent good or excellent, Iowa; 34 percent good or excellent, Kansas; 75 percent good or excellent, South Dakota; and 68 percent good or excellent, Colorado. For Nebraska, the report also said that 89 percent of the corn crop has silked, compared to the five-year average of 90 percent, but corn in the dough stage was slightly behind at 17 percent, compared to the five-year average of 25 percent. According to the USDA: " Soybeans were rated 75 percent good or excellent, above the five-year average of 68 percent. " Wheat harvest was 87 percent complete. " Sorghum conditions were rated 74 percent good or excellent, above the five-year average of 71 percent. " Alfalfa conditions were rated 81 percent good or excellent, much better than the fiveyear average of 59 percent. The second cutting was 88 percent complete, with the third cutting at 14 percent complete. " Pasture and range conditions were rated 77 percent good or excellent, well above the fiveyear average of 58 percent. " Both subsoil and topsoil conditions were rated above the five-year average. " The National Weather Service in Hastings reported that through the weekend temperatures will be in the mid- to upper 80s, with a chance of thunderstorms each day and Wednesday having the best chance.

getting severely ill when infected with West Nile virus. The symptoms of West Nile encephalitis include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, and paralysis. It is estimated approximately one in 150 persons infected with the West Nile virus will develop a more severe form of the disease. This isn’t a very high proportion, but, for those people who develop these symptoms, it can be deadly. At-risk persons who develop any of these symptoms should immediately seek the advice of their doctor. Measures to reduce mosquito populations around your home are to eliminate breeding and resting sites. Culex tarsalis lay their eggs in shallow pools of warm, sunlit, standing water. Dump containers which hold water to reduce breeding sites. Mosquitoes rest on long vegetation, so reducing vegetation will help eliminate many resting sites around your home. At-risk persons should avoid being outdoors during times when Culex mosquitoes are active, which is usually in the early morning hours or at dusk. If you cannot avoid mosquitoes, wear longsleeved shirts with long pants and socks to help prevent bites, and use an insect repellent to prevent mosquito bites. Deet repellents are the most effective. For a list of other repellents, go to http://go.unl.edu/0a2.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Hot Weather Hard on Cattle By Denton Cushing, The Grand Island Independent People are not the only ones who can be severely impacted by extreme temperatures, high humidity and dangerous heat indices. Brent Plugge, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educator in Buffalo County, said the combination of high humidity and no wind in addition to heat is tough on livestock. "It's the combination of conditions and the stage at which an animal is in life," Plugge said. "You have to pay attention to all of the factors that can create a serious situation for livestock." According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, the temperature at the Central Nebraska Regional Airport at 3:10 p.m. was 99 degrees with a heat index of 106 degrees and humidity at 39 percent. The service issued a heat advisory for most of south Central Nebraska, which was set to expire at 9 p.m. Monday night.

"In these conditions, unfortunately, you would have to expect to have a few deaths due to the heat," Plugge said of livestock. "Sometimes there is an accommodation period to adapt to the higher temperatures, but when you have an unbelievable period of extreme temperatures, it creates additional stress on the animals." The weather service predicts highs for Grand Island to be 91 degrees on Tuesday, 85 on Wednesday, 85 on Thursday and 87 degrees on Friday. Lows for this period will range from 69 to 72 degrees. Plugge added that heavier cattle have a much higher risk of problems than lighter cattle, which is sometimes determined by what part of the life cycle the animals are in. "The digestive tracts of cattle put off a lot of heat they have to get rid of," he explained." "Horses and pigs are a little better off, because cows are ruminants." A ruminant is an animal that is hoofed, eventoed or has horns and characteristically has a

four-part stomach, which includes the rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. "Any time you can improve one of the conditions, you can increase the chances for survival," Plugge mentioned. "To do this, you can cut weeds to allow more wind, use shaded areas, allow cattle to pasture, which gives them freedom to find more wind and make sure they have a lot of water, because they need more on days when it is this hot." The weather service forecast does offer some relief in the form of rain. Tuesday afternoon shows a 20 percent chance of rain with a 30 percent chance overnight. A north wind should blow at 5 to 10 mph. The 30 percent chance carries through Wednesday and increases to 40 percent for Wednesday night. The last predicted breeze for the week will be an east wind at around 10 mph. Thursday will have a 30 percent chance of rain during the day and overnight. Friday also shows a chance of rain at 20 percent during the day and overnight.

Range Beef Cow Symposium XXII The 2011 Range Beef Cow Symposium, which is scheduled to be Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at the Mitchell Event Center, Mitchell, Neb. The event center is located at the Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds. The Range Beef Cow Symposium is sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service and animal science departments of the University of Wyoming, South Dakota State University, Colorado State University and the University of Nebraska. The biennial symposium has a reputation of being an excellent educational program, offering practical production management information since the first symposium in Chadron, Neb., in 1969. The event rotates between Colorado, western Nebraska, western South Dakota and Wyoming. Focusing on beef production issues in the Western states, the symposium regularly attracts 8001,200 attendees and more than 80 agribusiness booth vendors for the three-day event.

The Bull Pen Sessions, which this year will be at the Gering Civic Center, Gering, Neb., are one of the most popular aspects of the symposium. This is a time for attendees to have considerable discussion with the speakers and an opportunity to ask specific questions. The majority of symposium speakers on Tuesday and Wednesday will be present in the evening following their presentations. Commercial displays representing many segments of the industry are an integral part of the symposium. Exhibitors will be present to discuss their products, plus information on newly released products will be available. Prior to the conference, http://www.range beefcow.com/ will feature hotel and registration information, a schedule of the symposium and an archive of API coverage of the 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2009 events. During and after the conference, API will post summaries of the sessions, along

with the PowerPoint presentations and proceedings, if available, and video coverage as provided by the American Angus Association public relations team. Go to the Newsroom page for coverage. Symposium registration, including three days and two lunches, is $90 if paid prior to Nov. 20. Single-day registrations and student registrations are also available. The conference committee is accepting vendor signup now. One 10x10-foot (ft.) space with an 8ft. table and one registration is $600. You can purchase two exhibit spaces for $800. Outdoor or outbuilding exhibit space and corporate break sponsorships are also available. For more information about the symposium, contact Karla Jenkins at 308-632-1245.

Confirmed: 114,392 Week Ago: 103,589

Lean hog trade has been mixed this week due to bull spreading. The weekly net change is $1.88 higher on the August contract and October is down $.15. Cash trade is called steady to $.50 higher for the remainder of the week due to the unprecedented bullish move in pork carcass value. The loin cuts jumped another $5 alone on Wednesday which pushed the composite pork carcass value more than $2 higher; this also marked the seventh consecutive move to all time highs. Hog weights for the week ending July 30th were reported at midweek at 260.9 pounds which was 2.8 pounds lower versus the previous week and 6.1 pounds lower versus year ago levels. The sharp rise in prices and cash hog values are likely unsustainable. They will promote ideas of heard expansion, and they are also likely to ration demand. This brings into question the issue of how long China will continue to import record high pork. Hedgers call with questions.

Live cattle trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and cash optimism. The weekly net change is $.50 higher on the August contract and October is up $.95. Feedlot managers have been reluctant sellers this week due to the escalating futures prices. This may delay significant cash business until Friday barring any extreme movement in futures or cutout values on Thursday. Cash trade should end up directing how we finish this week. Momentum in the futures is up, but with cutouts flat to lower the past several weeks it may be hard to get cash up into the $110-112 area that feedlots are look-

ing for this week. The cutout finished mixed again on Wednesday with choice down $.26 at $173.51 and select was up $.24 at $169.51.

Farmers, Ranchers Reminded of NDA Hay and Forage Hotline LINCOLN – Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) Director Greg Ibach is reminding producers of the availability of the NDA Hay and Forage Hotline. “Many of our neighbors here in the Midwest have been experiencing flooding, while our neighbors in the South have been dealing with extreme drought,” said Ibach. “The Hay and Forage Hotline is a way for producers who have hay for sale to connect with those that are in need of hay.” The Hotline was established in 2002 in response to the need to connect buyers and sellers of hay due to extreme drought conditions

in parts of the state. The free service continues to be available to all buyers and sellers. Those wishing to sell hay or forage can call 800-422-6692 to request that their information be added to the listing. Those wishing to purchase hay can access the list on-line at www.agr.ne.gov or may request a copy by calling 800-4226692. Potential buyers can make contact will sellers through the listing and negotiate transactions. NDA does not participate in the transaction process nor does NDA endorse any of the hay or forage being sold.

Rain date is Thursday, Aug. 11. Contestants ages 14 & up may represent either their 4-H club or their FFA chapter by completing a general
