Livestock News Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Celebrating its fifth year in Grand Island, the Nebraska State Fair will continue to expand its livestock shows during its 11-day showcase Aug. 22 through Sept. 1. The Nebraska State Fair has become a showcase for the livestock industry across the country. When the State Fair moved from Lincoln to Grand Island in 2010, its new home welcomed the fair with some of the country's best livestock arenas and barns. The State Fair allows exhibitors to show their livestock in world-class facilities, which have also hosted a number of national livestock shows during the fair's off-season over the past five years. Each day of the fair, the Five Points Bank Arena will feature some of the best livestock shows in the country, including all varieties of cows, pigs, sheep, goats, rabbits, fowl and exotic breeds, such as llamas and alpacas. And each year, State Fair officials continue to add to the variety of

livestock shows, introducing new breeds or forms of competition. The 2014 State Fair will be no exception, with the introduction of two new livestock shows. This year will mark the first time for exhibiting miniature Herefords at the Nebraska State Fair. Miniature Herefords are a smaller version of the Hereford breed and are in the American Hereford Association Register. The miniature Herefords have been shown all over the country in some of the largest livestock shows, including the National Western Stock Show in Denver; North American International Livestock Show in Louisville, Ky.; Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo; Iowa State Fair; and Star of Texas State Fair. Maximum miniature Hereford hip height is 48 inches for mature bulls and 45 inches for mature females. The breed is a favorite of the American public no matter where they are shown, said Bill Angell, Nebraska State Fair livestock superintendent. The cattle will be in the barns on Aug. 26 through 28. Their show will be on Aug. 27.

Nebraska Crop Progress and Condition LINCOLN - For the week ending August 3, 2014, cooler temperatures limited moisture demands of non-irrigated crops. However, another week of only scattered rainfall stressed dryland crops and pastures, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Irrigation continued nonstop in many areas. Wheat harvest was near completion with only northern Panhandle fields remaining. The dry conditions also supported hay harvest. The number of days considered suitable for fieldwork were 6.7. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 10 percent very short, 39 short, 51 adequate, and 0 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 12 percent very short, 31 short, 57 adequate, and 0 surplus. Field Crops Report: Winter wheat harvested was 93 percent, near of 90 last year and 95 for the five-year average. Corn conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 6 poor, 20 fair, 52 good, and 20 excellent. Corn silking was 94 percent, near 91 last year and equal to the average. Corn dough was 42 percent, well ahead of 13 last year and 32 average. Soybean conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 6 poor, 22 fair, 54 good, and 16 excellent. Soybeans blooming was 90 percent, equal to last year and the average. Soybean setting pods was 68 percent, well ahead of 46 last year and 50 average. Sorghum conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 32 fair, 41 good, and 20 excellent. Sorghum headed was 56 percent, well ahead of 33 last year and 39 average. Sorghum coloring was 16 percent, well ahead of 0 last year and average. Oat conditions rated 3 percent very poor, 18 poor, 27 fair, 49 good, and 3 excellent. Oats mature was 97 percent. Oats harvested was 82 percent, near 84 last year but behind 87 average. Dry bean conditions rated 3 percent very poor, 1 poor, 15 fair, 62 good, and 19 excellent. Dry beans blooming was 70 percent, behind 81 last year and 80 average. Dry beans setting pods was 25 percent, behind 36 last year and 35 average. Alfalfa hay conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 7 poor, 31 fair, 51 good, and 9 excellent. Alfalfa hay second cutting was 94 percent complete, near 91 last year and equal to the average. Alfalfa hay third cutting was 47 percent complete, well ahead of 15 last year and 33 average. Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 6 percent very poor, 12 poor, 31 fair, 45 good, and 6 excellent. Stock water supplies rated 2 percent very short, 10 short, 87 adequate, and 1 surplus.

Growing Alternative Fall Feeds Robert Tigner Red Willow Extension Educator-Agriculture Summer is flying by and soon this season will be over. We are going to be optimistic and assume we will get some welcome rain to grow fall forage crops. If you’re like most folks, you could use more pasture and winter feed. If it rains, what can you plant for quick feed? Right now your two best choices are turnips for grazing and oats for either hay or grazing. Winter small grains like cereal rye, wheat, and triticale won’t produce much fall growth although they will provide early grazing next spring. Oats can produce a couple tons of hay in the fall when seeded by midAugust if it receives good moisture and fertility. We usually drill about three bushels per acre in a prepared seedbed, but drilling directly into weed-free stubble of corn, beans, wheat, or other crops already harvested or hailed out works well when soil remains moist for several days in a row after seeding. For turnips, plant just two or three pounds per acre and barely cover the tiny seeds. Add 30 to 50 pounds of oats for an even better grazing mix. Broadcasting onto bare, tilled soil often works well as does shallow drilling into weed-free crop stubble. Oats can be ready to graze in six to eight weeks, moisture permitting, but don’t start grazing turnips until late October or November. Ease animals slowly into grazing either one to minimize respiratory or digestive problems. Oats will die following a real hard freeze, but turnips continue to grow slowly until temperature drops below twenty degrees. Even into the dead of winter, the root of the turnip remains a very desirable, and grazable, feed. You need to look ahead to fall and winter. If late summer rains appear, be ready to capitalize using oats and turnips.

Consequences Teach Responsibility Brenda Aufdenkamp UNL Extension Educator Raising children is by no means an easy task; misbehavior is a normal part of growing up. Parents must select a discipline method that fits their beliefs and values. Allowing children to experience the consequences of their behavior is one method. Consequences should be viewed as learning experiences and not punishment. The purpose of consequence utilization is to help the child learn responsibility and how to make decisions. Natural consequences allow children to learn from the natural order of the world while logical consequences are arranged by the parents. Natural consequences should not be used if the health or safety of the child is involved. A few things to remember when utilizing consequences: 1. Using consequences as a discipline method helps children learn to take responsibility for their behavior. 2. Consequences must be logically related to the misbehavior. 3. The child must see the relationship between misbehavior and the consequence, or it will not work.

4. The child must know that there is a choice when logical consequences are used. 5. Use consequences in a firm, kind, friendly manner. 6. Time-outs work well when your children quarrel and fight. 7. Call time-outs in a firm, calm voice. 8. Calling a time-out instead of punishing makes for a happier atmosphere in the home. 9. Taking a child to Think Space helps children think about solutions and take responsibility for their own behavioral choices. 10 .A reverse time-out means that the parents isolate themselves from the child instead of isolating the child. To learn more about how to effectively use consequences, ask for the NebGuide “Consequences Teach Responsibility” (G1818) at your local University of Nebraska Extension office or available on the Internet at http://www.ianr.unl.edu/pubs Source: Brand, G.L., Fox, M.S., (2008) “Consequences Teach Responsibility“, University of Nebraska –Lincoln Extension NebGuide

These Animals Will Work for Grass

About 1,300 head of goats were let loose to take care of the weeds on land northeast of Humphrey owned by the Nebraska Department of Roads. Patrick Murphy, The Norfolk Daily News HUMPHREY — Imagine a job where you get to eat all day. That’s the life of goats owned by Cody and Heather Strawder of Dickens, located northwest of North Platte. They own Happy Goats Grazing Service, and their goats have been taking care of noxious weeds northeast of Humphrey. The Nebraska Department of Roads hired them to alleviate weeds on land it owns in this area. The goats will be grazing for about three weeks before the Strawders load them up and take them to land near Chambers to do the same thing for the roads department. Heather and son, Riley, 8, and their three dogs arrived here about two weeks ago. Cody and Heather’s mother, Michelle Wendell, helped them get set up, and then Cody went back to his job at the railroad. Riley will soon trade places with his sister, Ainsley, 10. Cody will return to help load up and move onto the next job. Wendell started the business about four to five years ago after learning about a woman in Wyoming who had a business. The Strawders took over a few years later. The job is what it says it is — the goats graze on weeds that need to be eliminated — but it’s more involved for the owners. “The kids are born in May and June, mostly, we load up the first part of July and come down and graze. We took three semis and brought them down. They jumped off the truck at the road and have been eating their way back across the field,” Heather said. The Strawders bring 1,300 head to do the work. The goats feast on trees, sunflowers, read canary grass and thistle — the main weeds the roads department wants knocked down. An electric fence is put around 1.5 to 2 acres, and it takes the goats about a day to clear that much land, depending on how dense it is. The goats will eat their way through 80 acres before they finish.

“When they get it grazed off, we move them to another pen,” she said. “First thing in the morning, they go out and eat. Then through the heat of the day, you see them laying around and getting a drink. They’ll eat until dark, and then they’ll find their baby and lie down together.” Heather and Riley set up the electric fence, which comes in 164-foot rolls, including posts. When the goats get done with one area, the Strawders roll it up and take it to the next area. They usually work in eastern Nebraska but go wherever the roads department needs them. They have a two-year contract with the state. When not eating weeds in other areas, the goats take care of the weeds at the Strawders’ farm. They are gone 45 to 60 days with the goats, traveling where the job takes them. “Every year we cull through herd. The ones I know didn’t do a good job raising a baby or didn’t raise a baby, I take them to the sale barn,” Heather said. “We raise our own replacements, so every year we pick out 120-130 kids we keep back to go into the herd.” Heather said her family’s business is the only company like this in Nebraska that she knows about. She said the advantage to using goats over spraying is the environment. “Part of their (roads department) reasoning is it’s more green, you’re not spraying chemicals out into the environment. The goats do a really good job. They knock back the invasive species and give the more desirable species a chance to take a foothold,” she said. “I guess they’re happy with the job were doing because they keep asking us back.” They were also in this area in 2010. Since the goats do the bulk of the work, there’s a lot of free time for the Strawders, and that’s OK with them. “I like that (it’s quiet). It’s fun to see the goats work their magic. Its amazing to see what they eat and clean up,” Heather said. When not tending to the goats, Riley said they watch movies in the trailer they live in during these trips.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Stock In Stock Now by Lee Pitts

I’m ashamed of myself and admit that I’m a sicko. I sit for hours in a dark and secluded room with strained eyes staring at farmer porn in magazines for men with page after page of sexy hard bodies in alluring poses. And I simply can't get enough. Oh no, don't get me wrong, I'm not looking at naked women or anything like that. I'm looking at advertisements for tractors, trucks and equipment in farm magazines. It's my big secret, well not now that the “CAT” is out of the bag. See what I mean, I can't even go two paragraphs without referring to big yellow diesel machinery. I'm not supposed to be this way, after all, cowboys are supposed to hate tractors, trucks, heavy equipment or anything with a steering wheel or clutch. I should be looking instead at pictures of bulls, but frankly, they are all starting to look the same to me. Now days, if you’ve seen one bull you’ve seen them all. I was first drawn to tractor ads by the seductive and come-hither advertising copy that goes with them. If ranchers sold bulls and horses like John Deere, Case and New Holland sell tractors, rancher classified ads might read something like this: In Stock - Fabulous selection of new and used bulls. We have all sizes from small to

large, all tuned up and ready to go to work. 2013 models on sale now starting at only $325,000. 0% financing available for 15 years with no money down. Our bulls are known for their great service after the sale. Parting Out - 2001 model Longhorn cows for sale. 15 units available. Act today for they won't last long. (Literally.) Barren, with no teeth but their hides and horns are worth a fortune on today’s scrap market. Give Loco Larry a call and get your chance to win an all expense paid vacation to our annual bull sale. Let's rodeo! - For sale... wild and crazy bulls just gathered off the Arizona desert. Haven't seen a human in five years. Great rodeo prospects with leather seats, great financing and no bloat or B.S. They come with an attitude adjustment. Call for a free demo. Bring your truck. NO loader will be available to help you load them. Big reduction! - 1995 model bull with few moving parts. Not fully articulated due to arthritis. Guaranteed for three days which is about how long it will take to get the old bugger home. Has a leaky rear housing with no tread left. Will lengthen shorter frames. Let’s talk. One Horsepower! - Low emission horse with very few hours on it. Actually it was seconds. Selling for health reasons and to

pay medical bills recently incurred. Manual transmission in excellent condition with a twelve month interest waiver. Life insurance not included. Bale Busters - Super selection of old and new cows, many with duel eyes and ears. Come see our late model trade-ins and compare our prices. All units are not located at a single location and owner may not know they’re for sale yet. For additional info call Mike the cow trader. A Real Ripper - Late model straw chopper to handle all your weed and residue management problems. Good teeth, in stock with self levelers. A real hill walker. In super condition. Runs good... and doesn't walk too bad either. Rental Return - Just back from a prominent AI stud. Long wheel base, duals front and rear, and always shedded.

Unrest Overseas by Senator Deb Fischer Washington D.C. Office 825 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6551 Fax: (202) 228-1325

As Nebraskans continue to monitor ongoing conflicts overseas, I’d like to offer some thoughts on just a few of the troubling events occurring around the world. The recent attack of Flight 17, a commercial airliner filled with nearly 300 innocent passengers, over Ukraine is deeply concerning. Russian-leaning separatists, those responsible for the attack, denied access to the crash site for days, delaying the return home of the bodies to grieving loved ones. I know many Nebraskans join me in offering prayers for the families of the passengers who were lost, which include an American citizen. While many questions remain unanswered, we do know the missile came from separatist-held territory within Ukraine. We also know Russia has provided separatists with advanced weapons, including antiaircraft weapons, training, financial support and other assistance. Russia has made statements in support of an investigation, but it remains to be seen whether it will stop supplying the separatists with weapons. The conflict is now much larger than just a regional dispute between Russia and Ukraine. As a result of Russia’s recklessness, 300 innocent people are dead. Sanctions against Russia, which President Obama announced before the attack on Flight 17, were a step in the right direction. However, in light of recent events, I believe we must do more. For example, we

could expand restrictions and prohibit Russian entities from using U.S. dollars in their financial transactions. This action would send a strong signal from the United States that Russia must abandon its territorial ambitions and respect the rule of law. We should also consider providing more material assistance to the Ukrainian military. To date, we have only provided “Meals Ready to Eat,” radios, and body armor. We can do more to help Ukraine deter Russia, including assistance with intelligence sharing, fuel, and ammunition. Violence is also raging in the Middle East, including in Israel and Gaza. The deaths of both Israeli and Palestinian civilians are truly tragic, and I completely support Israel’s right to defend itself from the rocket attacks launched by Hamas. These attacks on Israel are a reminder to the world that Hamas is undeniably a terrorist group – one that is committed to Israel’s destruction and willing to use indiscriminate violence to achieve its goals. Hamas is firing rockets from civilian areas and hiding rockets in mosques, hospitals and schools. They even tried to hide rockets in a school run by the U.N. This latest round of violence should galvanize the entire international community to press Hamas to renounce violence and commit to peace. Lastly, I would like to update you on my ongoing efforts to offer commonsense solutions for problems

impacting Nebraska’s communities. In addition to introducing legislation to strengthen workplace flexibility and economically empower middle class families, I recently offered a bipartisan bill to explore how to increase local television programming. Nearly one-third of counties in Nebraska currently face challenges receiving local broadcast programming, including local news, weather, sports, and emergency alerts. This has limited access to important local information, negatively impacting our communities. That’s why I worked with Senator Cory Booker (DN.J.) to introduce The Let Our Communities Access Local TV (LOCAL TV) Act. Our bill requires the FCC to study how designated market areas affect access to local and in-state broadcast television programming. The bill requires the FCC to provide a report to Congress with recommendations on how to increase local coverage in states served by out-of-state media markets. I believe this legislation is an important step toward ensuring all communities have access to local, relevant information from Nebraska broadcast outlets. Rest assured I will continue to work to strengthen consumer choice and control over video programming.

American Leadership Needed in the World by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335

President Ronald Reagan is known for ending the Cold War without armed conflict with the Soviet Union through a policy of Peace through Strength. The Reagan Administration deterred the Soviets, terrorists, and others with military resources and a well understood willingness to defend our allies, freedom, and humanity around the globe. The Obama Administration too often has taken the opposite approach: disengaging from the world, appeasing bad actors, and alienating traditional friends and allies. The result has been growing chaos around the globe. Among the President’s first acts in office was to “reset” relations with Russia. Now, our former Cold War enemy seems to be reverting to its old ways. Russian President Vladimir Putin has suppressed opposition and the free press. Russia bullies its neighbors by withholding oil and gas supplies, and has seized the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. It appears very likely Ukrainian separatists armed by Russia shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 killing 298 innocent civilians including a U.S. citizen

last week. There have so far been no consequences for the separatists nor Russia for this atrocity. Nor were there consequences in Syria when the dictator Bashar al-Assad gassed his own people in open defiance of the “red line” set by the President. Regardless of whether setting this red line was a good idea or not; by stating a clear position and then failing to enforce it, he has undermined U.S. credibility with friends and foes alike. Even areas once boasted as foreign policy successes have resulted in failures. The United States helped topple the regime of Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya, only to have our Ambassador and three other Americans murdered in a terrorist attack which the Administration refuses to answer questions about. The country remains mired in violence and instability and most of the terrorists remain at large. After the near defeat of the Iraq insurgency because of the 2007 surge, President Obama removed our troops against the advice of commanders on the ground. Now Islamic extremists have taken over large sections of the country which is on the verge of a renewed civil war.

Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207

Our greatest ally in the Middle East, Israel, is currently under attack from a barrage of Hamas rockets. Rather than defend Israel’s right to protect itself, the only response of the Obama Administration has been to urge a cease fire. Not surprisingly, the Hamas terrorists have not complied with calls for peace and civility. All of these problems are rooted in a foreign policy lacking a strategy or overarching principles to guide our approach to world affairs. As we disengage from the world, refuse to support allies and friends in need, and fail to enforce our own policies – our enemies are emboldened. Engagement in world affairs and being a force for good does not mean we have to be the world police, or put boots on the ground in every conflict. America is understandably war weary. However, we must have principles and goals to advance our interests in the long-term, not just tactics to avoid immediate conflict. As President Reagan proved, the best way to ensure peace is through American strength and resolve.

EPA’s Murky Water Rule by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

A far-reaching water proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) would open the floodgates to expensive permits and compliance costs for a variety of industries and individual land owners. And as concerned citizens weigh in on the proposal before it is finalized, EPA’s unwillingness to provide details has muddied the water on its downstream implications. Congress gave EPA regulatory authority in the Clean Water Act over navigable waterways, but EPA’s proposal would go way beyond what I believe Congress intended. The rule would redefine federal regulatory reach to include everything from farm ponds to drainage ditches to low lying areas that are dry for most of the year. Basically, if EPA believes there’s a chance that a drop of water could eventually make it to a navigable water, they want to regulate it. American agriculture stands to be particularly hard hit by this federal overreach. EPA claims the rule will clarify what the agency can and cannot regulate, but it actually has created confusion and ambiguity in ag circles. When faced with specific

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

questions during listening sessions with producers, EPA has failed time and again to provide adequate responses. In fact, the agency has refused to discuss specifically how the rule would work. This lack of transparency makes participating in the democratic comment process to improve the rule virtually impossible. Even EPA’s attempt to clarify exemptions for certain federal Clean Water Act permits has led to a boatload of confusion. Last week, I joined my Republican colleagues on the Senate Agriculture Committee in a meeting with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, and let her hear the concerns our constituents voice to us virtually on a daily basis. At the heart of our discussion was this proposed water rule. The fact that Senators who represent producers across the nation all expressed common concerns illustrates just how far-reaching and problematic this proposal is. Although the Administrator was meeting with Senate Republicans, ag producers’ beef with the ambiguity surrounding EPA’s water rule spans political perspectives. For example, some of the rule’s

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

early supporters within the industry recently asked the Administrator for greater clarification of what would fall in EPA’s new and expanded scope. The reality is, this confusion could have been avoided had EPA opened a meaningful dialogue with ag producers and actively sought to address their concerns before putting pen to paper. When I was Secretary of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), we hosted farm bill forums in all 50 states to better understand the concerns of the folks our policies would impact. We made it a priority to work with stakeholders and find the best solution for all involved before writing a proposal. EPA has a long way to go to improve its strained relationship with the ag community. Administrator McCarthy acknowledged that she needs to do a better job of working with producers. If she is sincere in this desire, she would scrap this flawed proposal and engage in a robust discussion with America’s farmers and ranchers before pursuing new, potentiallyburdensome regulations.

Living the Dream, Cowboy Lifestyle Ruth Nicolaus HASTINGS – There’s a little piece of rodeo going on near Juniata and Hastings. Rodeo is taking hold, namely steer wrestling, and Richard Coats, a Hastings native who now lives in Juniata with fellow steer wrestler Brady Hageman, who grew up in McCook, and Kyle Sanderson, who lives in Hastings and grew up in Chambers. He grew up the son of John Coats and Renee Coats, who encouraged their children, including daughters Ashley and Carrie, to compete in horse shows. But it was when he was twelve that the rodeo bug bit Richard. He competed in junior high and high school rodeo and tried his hand at several different events: steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, and saddle bronc riding. He qualified for the Nebraska High School Finals Rodeo all four years, and went on to qualify for the National High School Finals three times in the steer wrestling. By the end of high school, steer wrestling had won out; it was his best event, the one he enjoyed the most, so it became his only event. A couple of local friends: Duane and Bobby Meister, taught him to steer wrestle. Then in high school, he became acquainted with the man who would become his brother-in-law, his college rodeo coach, and who taught him even more about rodeo: Justen Nokes. “I met Justen in tenth or eleventh grade, and he and his brother (Garrett) and a bunch of their friends helped me out.” After graduating from Adams Central High School in 2009, Richard went to Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, but he wasn't happy there. He transferred to Hastings College, and rodeoed under the leadership of Nokes, who by then, had married Richard’s older sister Ashley. In college, he qualified for the College National Finals Rodeo twice. Richard graduated from Hastings College last December with a business administration degree. He works with his dad’s construction company, and in the summer, during the busy rodeo season, competes nearly full-time. He, Hageman and

An “outpost” of rodeo exists in Juniata and Hastings. Steer wrestlers Brady Hageman, second from left, and Richard Coats, far right, will compete at the Hastings rodeo August 22-24. They pose with Justen Nokes, far left, Hastings College rodeo coach, and John Coats, third from left. Photo by Cyndie Coats. Sanderson travel together, and he loves it. The travel, the competition, and meeting new people all appeal to him. The group will be gone for several days at a time, competing in both amateur and pro rodeos across the region. It’s a perfect lifestyle when you're young and single, Richard says. “Enjoy it while it lasts,” he laughs. Nokes and his wife Ashley also compete but not as frequently. And when they're home, they congregate at the arena at Nokes’ home outside Juniata. “In the evenings, we're out there practicing or riding.” He enjoys being home, but enjoys being on the road as well. There’s an adrenaline rush to the rodeo lifestyle, Richard says. “It’s exciting to be able to win money in that short of a time, and being able to travel and meet new people.

Everybody you meet at rodeos is good people.” And when they go to rodeos, they're enjoying the celebratory atmosphere in each town. “We're in towns, the best week their town has.” All three men will compete in Hastings at the Oregon Trail Rodeo August 22, 23 or 24. They'll run their steer, then load up and head down the road for another rodeo. The Oregon Trail Rodeo will be held at the Adams County Fairgrounds in Hastings August 22-23-24. It begins at 7 pm each night. Tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for children ages 6-12. Children five and under are free. For more information, call the fairgrounds office at 402-4623247 or visit AdamsCountyFairgrounds.com.

Gizmo Comes to Hastings HASTINGS – Gizmo McCracken has several identities. But no one’s going to throw him in a psychiatric ward for his multiple personalities. The rodeo clown and barrel man uses his different characters to entertain rodeo crowds, and he'll do just that when he comes to the Oregon Trail Rodeo in Hastings August 22-24. The Wheaton, Mo. man grew up fighting bulls but switched over to clowning when he realized “I could make a lot more money being funny than being scared” as a bullfighter. The man, always a natural jokester, says, “I was always that kid they sent home from school with a note pinned on his shirt: ‘Don't send him back till his problems are corrected.’ I just turned it into a career.” Making people laugh comes naturally to Gizmo, and he loves doing it. His characters range from an ostrich jockey to Mustang Sally to the fat cop and the music man, and his acts are just as varied: an ambulance, shrinking machine, golf act, elephant hunting, and the chicken rocket. He strives to make sure rodeo fans get their money’s worth. A sticky note on his mirror, where he applies his clown makeup, reminds him before each rodeo: ‘Respect the fan’s time.’ “I don't want fans to say, ‘well, there’s two hours of our life We&#146;ll never get back.’ I want them to have fun, to enjoy being at the rodeo.” And Gizmo finds humor in everyday life. “We're a funny bunch of people. I try to make people laugh at themselves. They can relate to my jokes. There ain't nothing funnier than what happens. You can't make real life up.” Gizmo, a Pro Rodeo Cowboys Association member since 1992, has worked rodeos from coast to coast and border to border. His biggest honor was being selected to entertain at the National Finals Rodeo in 2005. He credits his wife of 35 years, Janice, and their two daughters with his success. “I

wouldn't be what I am today if it wasn't for Janice and my girls. I love my kids, my grandkids. We're a very tight family.” Gizmo will entertain during all three nights of the Oregon Trail Rodeo in Hastings, August 2224. Tickets are $15 for reserved seating. General admission adult tickets are $10 and kids are $5. Children ages five and under are free. Tickets can be purchased through the Adams County Fairgrounds at 402.462.3247. For more information, visit the fairgrounds website at AdamsCountyFairgrounds.com.

“Dr. Gizmo” observes his “patient” at a rodeo. Gizmo will entertain during each night of the Oregon Trail Rodeo in Hastings August 22-23-24.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Making It Work for Land and Livestock Owners in a Grazing Lease Agreement Bethany Johnston, UNL Extension Educator Central Sandhills, University of Nebraska Pasture leases can be a tricky business or a great opportunity for both the land and livestock owners. Pat Reece, professor emeritus and now a consultant and owner of Prairie and Montane Enterprises, understands this from years of experience working with producers. Lease agreements should always benefit the rangeland resources. "It is in the best interest of the land and livestock owner to improve and maintain range condition," states Reece. Landowners can provide incentives for grazers in a lease. First, the landowner must realize the potential herbage production of their rangeland. A trusted rancher, Extension staff, or NRCS staff can advise the landowner. How do you start improving the rangeland resource? •Start with a moderate stocking rate that matches your pasture condition. The NRCS has stocking rates for a variety of range sites and condition. •Graze semi-arid pastures one time per year and vary the time pastures are grazed from year to year.

•Subirrigated meadows may be grazed two or more times during the year, because of their plentiful soil moisture. •Base the lease on Animal Units, or how much grass is available to graze. This allows flexibility as production changes from year to year. •Plan to adjust stocking rates for dry and wet years to match livestock forage demand to available herbage production. Land owners should consider rewarding good management practices by the livestock owner through deferred compensation. Management activities that could be rewarded with deferred compensation to the livestock owner could include the following. •Rewarding good grazing management. Management practices that will increase herbage production and the land value for the land owner. •Labor and materials the livestock owner provides. Is the livestock owner fixing the fence or wells? What would it cost to hire someone to do these activities? Continued on page 13

Nebraska Farm & Ranch

August 7, 2014

USDA Sending Acreage History and Yield Reports to Help Producers Prepare for New Farm Bill Programs they need with them to discuss the available program options.” By mid-winter all producers on a farm will be required to make a one-time, unanimous and irrevocable election between price protection and county revenue protection or individual revenue protection for 2014-2018 crop years. Producers can expect to sign contracts for ARC or PLC for the 2014 and 2015 crop years in early 2015. Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (includes short grain rice and temperate japonica rice), safflower seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed, and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Juan M. Garcia announced today that farmers should start receiving notices updating them on their current base acres, yields and 2009-2012 planting history. The written updates are an important part of preparing agricultural producers for the new safety net programs established by the 2014 Farm Bill. “We’re sending these reports to make sure that farmers and ranchers have key information as they make critical decisions about programs that impact their livelihood,” said Garcia. “It’s important that producers take a few minutes to cross check the information they receive with their own farm records. If the information is correct, no further action is needed at this time.

But if our letter is incomplete or incorrect, producers need to contact their local FSA county office as soon as possible.” Verifying the accuracy of data on a farm’s acreage history is an important step for producers enrolling in the upcoming Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program and the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. Later this summer, farmers and ranchers will have an opportunity to update their crop yield information and reallocate base acres. “We’re working hard to prepare and educate farmers on the new programs created by the 2014 Farm Bill,” added Garcia. “I encourage producers to bring their USDA notice to any scheduled appointments with the local FSA county office. This will help ensure they have the information

Chris Young, on the cusp of his fourth album, A.M., (out september 17 on RCA Nashville), the man known for his classic baritone and melt-your-heart ballads has suddenly revealed himself to be king of the good time, too, with lead single "Aw Naw" electrifying crowds and storming up the charts. Young's hits include, “Who I Am With You”, “Voices”, “You”, “Tomorrow”, and many others! STYX Saturday, August 23, 7:30 p.m. Heartland Events Center $6 Convenience Fee plus gate admission. STYX - Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips (along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo), have performed more live since ’99 than all of the previous years of its career combined. Spawned from a suburban Chicago basement in the early ‘70s, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late '70s and early '80s, due to a fondness for big rockers and soaring power ballads. BJ Thomas Wednesday, August 27, 11:00 a.m. & 3:00 p.m. Heartland Events Center $6 Convenience Fee plus gate admission. Since the mid-1960s, BJ Thomas has become one of the most recognized and respected voices of the

Karmin Saturday, August 30, 7:30 p.m. Heartland Events Center $6 Convenience Fee plus gate admission. In April of 2011, Karmin’s Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan ignited the blogosphere when they posted a cover of Chris Brown’s “Look At Me Now” on YouTube. The clip instantly went viral, racking up millions of views after being Tweeted by such hiphop heavy hitters as The Roots’ Questlove, producers Diplo and Jermaine Dupree, and rapper The Game, each of whom marveled at the astonishing spectacle of Amy spitting Brown’s, Lil Wayne’s, and Busta Rhymes’ raps at warp speed. Her verbal dexterity alone would be jaw-dropping coming from anyone, never mind a young girl from Nebraska styled like a ’40s film star in a black corset and ruby-red lipstick. Karmin has had great success with songs such as “Brokenhearted”, “Hello”, “Acapella”, and “I Want It All”. Brantley Gilbert Sunday, August 31, 7:30 p.m. Heartland Events Center $30 plus gate and fees Gilbert's taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel, but his true-to-life testimony of heartache, trials, triumph, and success found a home in country music. Gilbert’s hits include, “Bottoms Up”, “Kick It In The Sticks”, “Small Town Throwdown”, “17 Again”, and many more. Gilbert’s taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel while telling his own life’s story through lyrics and song.

Irrigation Demand Boosts Big Mac Releases Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub HOLDREGE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hot, dry weather the past few weeks boosted irrigation demand in the Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District and also boosted water releases from Lake McConaughy. Those releases peaked at 3,000 cubic feet per second but were at about 2,500 cfs on Monday. It was the promise of some higher South Platte River flows resulting from recent heavy rains in eastern Colorado that allowed CNPPID Civil Engineer Cory Steinke to reduce the releases. He told the CNPPID board Monday in Holdrege that some rainfall in the Central service area to reduce irrigation demand also would greatly help keep more water in Lake McConaughy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a short one,â&#x20AC;? Steinke said about the expected length of beneficial higher flows in the South Platte, which had reached Roscoe by Monday morning. In his board meeting report, he said Lake McConaughyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elevation dropped about 1.5 feet

last week. As of Monday morning, its volume was 1,056,000 acre-feet, or 63.7 percent of maximum, and the 666 cfs of inflows were 67 percent of average. At a special board meeting July 25, the directors approved extending irrigation season for one week beginning after Labor Day weekend. CNPPID Irrigation Division Manager Dave Ford said the fifth and sixth irrigation runs of two weeks each were starting Monday. The extension means there are five weeks remaining in Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 irrigation season. A meeting of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irrigation Committee was set at 1 p.m. Aug. 20 to discuss irrigation delivery recommendations for 2015, which will be presented at the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sept. 2 meeting. Ford said some Central irrigation customers will be invited to the committee meeting to join the discussion. In other business Monday, the board approved a 2014 budget revision to allow construction of a well, septic system and bathroom at the CNPPID warehouse site at Lake McConaughy. Gothenburg

Division Manager Kevin Boyd said Central employees also use the site for vehicle maintenance and welding. Cost of the improvements will be about $12,000. Boyd said $5,000 has been in the budget the past few years in anticipation of drilling the well. The other $7,000 will come from two bridge projects in the 2014 budget that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be done this year. Also Monday, the board: n Approved closing a contract to purchase a mobile boom crane for $762,089 from Crane Sales & Service. n Approved a final payment of $67,038 on a $297,752 contract with Survalent Technology for upgrades to Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition remote operations system. n Approved two funding requests from the Lake Improvement Fund, $55,000 for grading and dirt work on about 1.9 miles of a new section of the hike-bike trail at Johnson Lake and $12,500 for labor and materials to repaint the Leave Only Your Footprints sign at Lake McConaughy.

Soybeans Sudden Death Syndrome Todd D. Whitney UNL â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Hamilton County Extension Educator â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sudden Death Syndromeâ&#x20AC;? (SDS) is caused by the Fusarium solani virguliforme disease and may be causing yield reduction in many soybean fields again this year. This fungus overwinters in soybean residue as well as in soil of previous SDS impacted fields. Early cool, wet planting conditions (followed by hot, dry weather), favors disease outbreaks. Heavy rains or moisture around the flowering time can also promote foliar symptom development. Loren Giesler, UNL Extension Plant Pathologist, says that foliar symptoms of sudden death syndrome typically do not appear prior to soybean flowering. Early symptoms at the R3 soybean growth stage and beyond show chlorotic (yellow) spots on the leaves between veins. Eventually as the disease progresses, the yellow areas between the veins will become brown (necrotic) as the tissue dies. Roots will also show obvious root rot typically on the tap root. Discoloration of the outer stem area (xylem) also occurs and can extend up the stem from the soil line. The pith will remain white as a key symptom to differentiate SDS from brown stem rot.

Although sudden death syndrome can cause some plant early defoliation, this disease can be differentiated from drought environmental stress in that infected plants usually die suddenly with the petioles (leaf stems) and most leaves still attached to the dead plants. Symptoms of the root system are more difficult to distinguish from other soybean root rots. When roots are removed from soil, the fungus is often visible on the outer root surface as masses of cobalt blue growths. If soybeans producers suspect this disease is causing yield losses in their fields, what can be done? Unfortunately, there are no seed treatments or foliar fungicides which will help control this disease. So, the most important management decision is to plant SDS-resistant soybean varieties. According to Dr. Giesler, soybeans with moderate-to-high SDS resistance levels are available and should be used especially in fields with a history of sudden death syndrome. Consider sampling and testing suspect fields for soybean cyst nematodes (SCN); since these microscopic insects can hasten the development of both sudden death syndrome and brown stem rot diseases. Symptoms of soybean cyst nematode are highly variable from no visible plant injury to premature plant death.

Generally, soybean producers notice a downward trend in soybean yields where SCN is prevalent. Also, yellowing and stunted â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot spotsâ&#x20AC;? may occur within fields. Frequently, SCN soybean damage is misdiagnosed as a potassium or nitrogen deficiency; iron chlorosis; herbicide injury; soil compaction; drought stress; or other diseases. The 6 to 8 inches depth soil samples for soybean cyst nematodes are best collected on the outer edge of â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot spotsâ&#x20AC;? as close to soybean harvest as possible. Avoid collecting samples in the center of hot spots, since severely damaged plants usually have severely damaged root systems that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support SCN. Also, note that SCN numbers tend to be highest when the plants are almost mature to shortly after harvest. Place the nematode soil samples in a plastic bag (not a paper soil test bag), and keep the sample out of direct sunlight during sample transport. If SCN field numbers test high, then the next step is to have the nematode testing lab follow-up with a race test to classify the SCN populations as â&#x20AC;&#x153;HGâ&#x20AC;? type. As a result, soybean variety selection can be improved and based on SCN race resistance.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - State Fair

Farm Production Expenditures LINCOLN â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Farm and Ranch Production Expenditures for Nebraska totaled $20.3 billion in 2013, down 5 percent from a year earlier, according to USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Livestock expenses, the largest expenditure category, at $3.56 billion, decreased 23 percent from 2012. Rent, the next largest total expense category at $2.68 billion, increased 9 percent from 2012. Feed, the third largest expense category, at $2.15 billion, decreased 25 percent from 2012. Livestock expenses accounted for 18 percent of Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total production expenditures. Feed accounted for 11, Rent 13, and Farm Services 9 percent. The total expenditures per farm or ranch in Nebraska averaged $408,367 in 2013, down from $424,600, a decrease of 4 percent. The Livestock expense category was the leading expenditure, at $71,774 per operation, more than 4 times the national average. Feed L E H NA I T G I R

expenditures, at $43,347 per operation, were nearly 2 times the national average. The average Rent expenditure, at $53,831, was over 3 times the national average. Farm Services expenditures per operation, at $37,298, were double the national average. These results are based on data from Nebraska farmers and ranchers who participated in the Agricultural Resource Management Study conducted by USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Producers were contacted in January through April to collect 2013 farm and ranch expenses. This is the tenth year of state level information published for Nebraska from the Agricultural Resource Management Study.
