Budget, Deficit Woes to Have Big Impact on Farm Bill By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Congress is preparing the groundwork for a new Farm Bill next year, but U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said the ongoing budget problems facing the nation will impact the next Farm Bill. Johanns spoke before about 70 people on Monday at an Ag Policy Perspectives listening session at the Beef Pit on the State Fair grounds in Grand Island. He said he wants to gather information from farmers and ranchers about federal ag policy, especially what they would like to see in the next Farm Bill. Johanns, who
served as agriculture secretary during the latter Bush administration, is also a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee. "The whole idea is to figure approaches to the next Farm Bill," he said. The Renewable Fuels Standard, which was created under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, established the first renewable fuels volume mandate in the United States, which required 7.5 billion gallons of renewable fuels to be blended into gasoline by 2012. That created an additional demand for corn, which in turned created tight corn supplies and higher crop prices.

Because of that federally mandated program, corn and other commodity prices increased and, according to Johanns, kept the federal government having to make payments to farmers due to below-production crop prices. Johanns said the annual cost of commodity programs has decreased from nearly $30 billion in 2000 to $10 billion in 2009. A controversial part of those commodity programs is the $5 billion in direct payments the federal government makes annually to the nation's biggest farmers. Continued on page 17

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report Below normal temperatures were the rule of thumb during this past two weeks. Thunderstorm development was almost a daily occurrence somewhere in the state with significant moisture falling across east central and southeast Nebraska. The abundance of moisture led Allen Dutcher to the removal of abnormally dry conditions for southeast Nebraska, but abnormally dry conditions continued for the northeastern corner of the state. Weather models appear to favor above normal temperatures during the next two weeks as upper air ridging strengthens across the southern Plains. During the first seven days of the period, waves of energy are projected to ride this developing ridge and continue the almost

daily chances of thunderstorms across the western corn belt. Week One Forecast, 8/20 - 8/26: A cool push of Canadian air into the northern Plains is expected to promote vigorous thunderstorm development across Nebraska and northern Kansas on 8/20. Some severe storms are possible along with localized heavy rainfall that may result in flash flooding. Thunderstorms could continue during the overnight hours across the eastern 1/3 of the state. Mostly dry conditions are expected on 8/21, with isolated thunderstorms developing across northern Nebraska as the upper air ridge over the southern Plains expands northward. Above normal temperatures are likely for the state from 8/22-8/26 as the high expands into the central Plains. Isolated thunderstorms are possible, especially the Panhandle and northern Nebraska, during the late evening and overnight hours of 8/22 and 8/23. Mostly dry conditions are projected for 8/24 before a weak cold front slides southward from the Dakotas on 8/25. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms are possible across northern Nebraska, shifting into southern Nebraska on
8/26. High temperatures: 8/20 (78 N - 88 SW), 8/21-8/22 (83 N - 91 SW), 8/23 (87 NE - 95 W), 8/24-8/25 (88 N - 95 S), 8/26 (88 E.- 95 W). Week Two Forecast, 8/27 - 9/2 Mainly dry conditions are expected for 8/27. Current models indicate a robust cold front will move southward through the state during the second half of 8/28 and bring a decent chance for thunderstorm activity. The front is projected to stall across central Kansas resulting in scattered thunderstorm development over the southern half of the state on 8/29. The front is then projected to lift northward on 8/30 and bring above normal temperatures that are projected to last through 8/31. Yet another cold front is forecasted to move southward through the state on 9/1, leading to scattered thunderstorms across northern Nebraska during the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms will be possible across the southern half of the state on 9/2 as the cold front shifts into southern Kansas. High temperatures: 8/27 (88 E - 95 W), 8/28 (77 N - 92 SE), 8/29 (70 NE - 79 SW), 8/30 (81 N E - 89 SW), 8/31 (86 E - 92 W), 9/1 (75 N - 88 SE), 9/2 (72 N - 83 SW).
Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending August 14, 2011, a week with below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation brought some relief to the high heat and humidity that made for challenging growing conditions, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Storms that brought high winds, hail, and heavy rain caused damage to crops and property in isolated locations. Irrigation was slowed by the rains and fungicide and insecticide applications occurred where needed. Preparation for wheat seeding had begun in the west while grasshopper numbers were still a concern. Weather Summary: Temperatures ranged from 2 to 7 degrees below normal. Highs stayed out of the triple digits, but reached the low 90’s. Lows were recorded in the low 50’s. Most areas of the state received above normal rainfall for the week. The highest levels of precipitation accumulated in the North Central and East Central Districts with some locations reporting over 3 inches. The Panhandle and some central counties were relatively dry. Field Crops Report: Corn condition rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 18 fair, 55 good, and 20 excellent. Irrigated corn conditions rated 79 percent good to excellent and dryland corn rated 71. Corn in dough stage was 58 percent, well behind 76 last year and 70 average. Corn in the dent stage was 10 percent, behind 28 last year and 22 average.
Soybean condition rated 1 percent very poor, 3 poor, 18 fair, 57 good, and 21 excellent, equal to last year’s good to excellent and above 70 average. Soybeans blooming were 94 percent, behind 99 last year and 98 average. Soybean acreage setting pods were at 72 percent, behind 89 last year and 84 average. Sorghum conditions rated 0 percent very poor, 3 poor, 18 fair, 69 good, and 10 excellent, below 81 percent good to excellent last year but above 72 average. Sorghum headed was 71 percent, behind 89 last year and 77 average. Sorghum turning color was 2 percent, behind 10 last year and 6 average. Dry Beans condition rated 1 percent very poor, 11 poor, 25 fair, 57 good, and 6 excellent, below 78 percent good to excellent last year and 67 average. Dry beans blooming were 97 percent, near 100 last year and 98 average. Dry beans setting pods were 69 percent, behind 81 last year and 78 average. Alfalfa rated 0 percent very poor, 2 poor, 20 fair, 63 good, and 15 excellent, below 82 percent good to excellent last year but well above 59 average. Third cutting of alfalfa was at 53 percent, behind 66 last year and 57 average. Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 1 percent very poor, 3 poor, 20 fair, 65 good, and 11 excellent, below last year’s 89 percent good to excellent but above 58 average.

Harvesting and Storage of Vegetables Sarah Browning, UNL Extension Educator Many gardeners grow extra vegetables and fruits for winter storage, but how can you make your produce store for the longest time possible? First, remember good produce storage quality begins at harvest.
Harvest Tips Avoid physical damage during harvest. Most fruits and vegetables are easily bruised if not handled carefully. When harvesting, treat produce as if it were fine china. Tossing fruits and vegetables into baskets or boxes may not leave visible bruises and damage, but decay will begin under the skin. Seemingly sturdy vegetables such as sweet potatoes are actually quite delicate and will not store well if bruised. Any damaged produce should be used as quickly as possible and not placed in winter storage. Root crops such as beets, carrots, rutabagas, parsnips, and turnips can be left in the garden into late fall and early winter. A heavy mulch of straw will help prevent the ground from freezing so the roots can be dug when needed. The mulch will also maintain the quality of the roots, as it will reduce repeated freezing and thawing. Many people prefer the taste of these root crops after they have been frosted because their flavors become sweeter and milder. When temperatures drop low enough to freeze the ground under the mulch, finish harvesting the roots. Cut off all but one-half inch of the top and store at 32–40°F in high humidity to reduce shriveling.
Cleaning Produce Not all produce should be washed after harvest, including onions, garlic, Irish potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Some produce, however, should be washed and dried before storing, including winter squash and pumpkins, along with green and red tomatoes. Commercial packing houses use sanitizers in packing line water to kill the fungi, bacteria, and yeast that might otherwise cause spoilage. Sodium hypochlorite (liquid laundry bleach, 5.25% concentration) is the most readily available of these sanitizers for home gardeners. Cool produce before washing, then use water a few degrees warmer than the fruits and vegetables to mix up your solution of 4 tablespoons of liquid bleach per gallon of water. This prevents cold wash water from being pulled inside warm fruits along with any pathogens in the wash water. Dip produce in the solution but, do not allow produce to sit in water. A quick dip is sufficient to remove pathogens.
Curing
Spanish Eclectic Influence
Cool and dry storage consists of 50–60°F temperatures and 60% relative humidity. In the home, basements are generally cool and dry making this the easiest storage regimen to achieve. However, in the winter with a furnace and dehumidifier running, the humidity may drop below optimum. If storing vegetables in basements, provide them with some ventilation. Harvested vegetables still “breathe” and require oxygen to maintain high quality. Also, be sure they are protected from rodents. Cool, dry storage is ideal for winter squash and pumpkins. Cold and dry storage is 32–40°F temperatures and 65% relative humidity. For cold storage items 32°F is ideal, but is difficult to achieve in the home. For every degree above 32°F, expect a shorter storage life of your produce, as much as 25% for every 10°F increase in temperature. Refrigerator conditions are generally cold and dry, so an extra refrigerator is fine for long term storage of garlic and onions. Cold and moist storage consists of 32–40°F temperatures and 95% humidity. Root cellars provide cold and moist conditions, or try refrigerator storage with the produce in perforated plastic bags to increase humidity. Unperforated plastic bags may result in water condensation inside the bag that leads to the growth of mold and bacteria. Make sure the produce has adequate ventilation or air movement, and if using a root cellar, protect it from rodents. Clean straw, hay, and wood shavings may be used for insulation. Cold and moist conditions are best for the storage of beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, kohlrabi, parsnips, radishes, rutabagas, and turnips. Apples and pears also store best under cold (30–32°F) and moist (90% humidity) conditions, however, it is best to store apples separately from other produce. Apples give off ethylene gas which speeds the ripening of other produce.

With outstanding curb appeal, this home packs a lot of style into surprisingly manageable square footage. Influenced by the Spanish Eclectic style, the tower and second-floor balcony on this twostory home will clearly draw attention. A side-entry garage preserves the look of the house, which could easily fit onto a narrow lot. The layout inside also makes a big impact with limited space: the dramatic two-story foyer features a balcony overlook from upstairs and elegant columns leading to the main living area. At the heart of the home, the great room, kitchen, dining room, and breakfast nook are combined into one large open area that maxamizes flow between spaces. A snack bar offers plenty of casual seating, while windows on two sides let sun stream into the dining room. Head outside to the covered porch in pleasant weather, or stay inside and cuddle by the fire when it turns chilly. Sleeping quarters rest upstairs, including the master suite boasting a dual-vanity private bath with a tub that looks out to the side property. Two additional bedrooms, one with a charming balcony outside, use the full hall bath. A linen closet is a convenient touch.

Several vegetables benefit from post-harvest curing. Curing heals or suberizes injuries from harvesting operations. It thickens the skin, reducing moisture loss and affording better protection against insect and microbial invasion. Curing is usually accomplished at an elevated storage temperature and high humidity, which should be managed as accurately as possible. Produce can be cured in home storage areas. A space heater in an enclosed area can provide the needed heat for curing. Humidity can be increased by overlaying containers with sheets of plastic.
Storing Garden Produce Proper long-term storage of homegrown vegetables and fruits depends primarily on two factors: air temperature in the storage area and humidity levels. Different vegetables or fruits have different storage requirements, although three main storage regimens predominate, including 1) cool and dry; 2) cold and dry; and 3) cold and moist.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Dating Myself by Lee Pitts
The world is changing so fast these days that it’s leaving many old coots like me in the past, and I seem to be having problems communicating with the younger generation. I am ONLY 59 years old but I have to write carefully because I continually date myself by using references that young people can’t relate to. This was pointed out to me by a class of third graders recently who wrote me wonderful individual letters after their teacher had read to them one of my essays. Besides their kind words the little nippers asked questions like, “What’s a beatnik?” And “What is carbon paper?” They also reminded me that kids today play video games, not marbles. Now I know what my grandparents felt like when, as a child, I asked them why they went outside to the outhouse when a bathroom would have been much closer? It’s like I speak a different language than younger folks today whose reading consists primarily of text messages. I realize I’m either going to have to enter the 21st century and acquaint myself with today’s culture, or find another line of work. But there’s nothing I’m still qualified to do, as the oil patch now runs on computers instead of roustabouts, and cowboys ride four wheelers instead of horses. But just like Hopalong, Tonto, Hoss, and the Lone Ranger, I’ve never even been on an ATV.
They’ve taken the word “farmer” out of the FFA and the Colonel out of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Now it’s just “KFC” to anyone under the age of 30. I feel like I am outliving my audience as young readers today may know who Darth Vader is but they’ve never heard of Deputy Dawg, Dick Tracy, Elliot Ness, The Duke of Earl, Broadway Joe, Bosley, Buckwheat, Bozo, Bogart, Bullwinkle or Bo Diddley. In their frame of reference Cher never had Sonny, Dale didn’t have to compete for Roy’s affections with a horse named Trigger, and Car 54 was never lost. The drive-in theater is now a swap meet and hotel keys and house calls are a thing of the past. Every day there are fewer of us left who remember the milkman, or that when you went to the gas station two people emerged to fill your tank, wash your windows, check your tires and your oil. I guess I’ll just have to adapt to the new “service” economy in which we live. I’ve spent my life accumulating a pretty darn impressive nail collection, if I do say so myself, and my friend John, who is a young builder, took one look at all the nails in my shop and said, “Thank goodness we don’t use them anymore. We just use a nail gun.” With that one simple remark he discredited my life’s work. We baby boomers have spent our lives accumulating what we thought were valu-
able collections of lunch boxes, Buddy L trucks and Roseville pottery and our kids take one look, emit a collective yawn and the first chance they get they sell them on eBay. They could care less about our Gunsmoke cap pistols, 45 RPM records and motel ash tray collections. The worst part is, just like leisure suits, I don’t think I’ll be coming back into fashion any time soon either. I’ve thought about giving this column a complete makeover, but it’s not something I could fake. Even if I did use a pseudonym and wrote a new column where every other word was “awesome”, I’d be exposed faster than a streaker, if anyone still remembers them. My audience is getting older and they find my writing harder to read due to failing eyesight. Even if they do read and like one of my columns 20 minutes later they can’t remember who wrote it, or what it was about. As we’re getting older we’re losing our sense of humor too, finding less and less to laugh at in this weird world in which we live. Our only satisfaction comes from knowing that one day the current crop of youngsters will have to explain to their grandkids why they liked rap music, who Paris Hilton was, and why in the world they tattooed and pierced their bodies. For, as we all discover sooner or later, time has a way of making us all irrelevant.

Corn trade has been higher this week following the supportive USDA report last week. The weekly net change is 10 higher on the September contract and December is up 11. News this week has been light and the next significant fundamental influence will be the September supply and demand report and then the stocks report. An Illinois Co-op, Top Flight, estimated yields for the local 5 county area on Wednesday was at 148 bushels which was down from their estimate of 173 bushels last year. These types of yield concerns have been noted for the recent strength over the last week and are expected to continue to limit downside. The FSA reported on Tuesday that 10.3 million prevent plant claims have been filed this year. This is up from 7.3 million last year and indicates a potential reduction of an additional 1.3 million harvested acres. Enough unknowns remain both economically and fundamentally to keep the market active, but the August weather has stabilized or slightly improved the production picture. The weekly crop progress report listed silking at 98% which is 1% ahead of the average but 1% behind 2010. There was 52% of the crop listed in the dough stage versus the 58% 5-year average and 17% dented versus the 21% 5-year average. The crop ratings remained at 60% good to excellent; poor to very poor ratings declined by 1% to 15% with 1% more going to fair. The weekly crop ratings will continue to be of relative importance, but seasonal declines are expected due to normal maturation of the crop. The weekly export sales were reported at 243,500 tons of old crop and 280,300 tons of new crop; combined, they were below expectations. Sept. 10 658 747

Wheat trade was higher this week due to spillover support from the row crops and renewed buying interest following last weeks USDA report. The weekly net change is 25 higher on the September Chicago contract, KC is up 27, and Minneapolis is up 55. Like the row crops, prevent plant claims for wheat were reported on Tuesday by the FSA. All wheat claims were reported at 3.8 million which was up from 3.3 million last year. This implies another 500 thousand acre drop in harvested acres. A German grain milling group estimated 2011 production there at 41 million tons this week, which was down from 44 million last year; 22.5 million of that total is expected to be wheat which is down from 23.8 million last year. Global production ideas will continue to fluctuate with declining production estimates in the US and parts of Europe being offset, at least partially, by rising yield estimates in Russia and Ukraine. In fact, Russia's Ag Ministry estimated total wheat production on Monday at 33.6 million tons; yields were reported at 3.15 million tons per hectare which was up from 2.3 million tons last year. Private analyst, UkAgro, also raised their 2011 Ukraine production estimate to 46.25 million tons which was up 2.1 million tons from their previous Estimate. The weekly export sales were inline with expectations with 548,800 tons of sales reported. The weekly crop progress report listed 91% of the crop harvested which is 3% behind the average pace. The spring wheat harvest was only 13% versus the 39% 5-year average. Spring wheat conditions were steady at 66% good to excellent.
Soybean trade has been higher this week following the supportive USDA supply and demand report last week. The weekly net change is 29 higher on the September contract and November is up 32. Forecasts continue to indicate normal to slightly above normal temperatures with normal moisture over the next 4 weeks. This is ideal for late group beans and should limit upside. The FSA reported prevent plant claims for soybeans on Tuesday at 1.4 million which was up from 1.3 million last year; this suggests a reduction of an additional 700,000 harvested acres. Despite expected production declines, there remains uncertainty about demand items. The July NOPA crush was better than expected at 122.95 million bushels, but China's National Grain and Oils center estimated August soybean imports this week at 4.5 million tons which is down 16% from July and down 6% from year ago levels. China's Commerce Ministry estimated total bean imports at an even lower 3.85 million tons. Shrinking demand items will reinforce ideas of price rationing which should limit upside. The weekly soybean export sales came in at 224,400 tons of old crop and 197,100 tons of new crop which were below expectations. Meal sales were also below expectations at 41,800 tons of old crop and 16,900 tons of new crop; oil sales were above expectations at a combined 75,000 tons. On the weekly report, crop ratings were steady with last week at 61% good to excellent. Progress numbers had 70% of the crop setting pods versus the 78% 5-year average.

Nebraska State Auctioneer Champion to be Chosen at Nebraska State Fair (Grand Island, Nebraska) The Nebraska State Auctioneer Champion will be chosen during the Nebraska State Fair on Sunday, August 28 at the Fair’s Fonner Park location. The event is sponsored by the two-hundred and fifty member Nebraska Auctioneers Association. Nebraska’s auctioneer champion will then progress to the International Champion Auctioneer competition to e held in Spokane, Washington, in July of 2012. Event Chairman Jeff Temme, Covered Wagon Auction of Petersburg, said the event should bring
a new venue of entertainment to the fair, allowing fair-goers to watch the competition. “The event will allow fair attendees to bid on several new items during the auction competition portion of the contest, and their participation will allow the judges to grade the competitors with audience interaction,” he stated. Contestants are judged on appearance, poise, command, salesmanship, eye contact, body language, crowd survey, chant, clarity, speed and rhythm. In addition, they must also undergo an
interview process by a panel of three professional judges. The competition will begin at 1:00 p.m., on the fairgrounds on Bristol Window Stage in the Market Place. There is no admission charge for fair goers to watch the auction, although they may participate and buy items at the auction at their leisure.
Nebraska's Corn, Soybean Crops in Good Condition By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Near normal temperatures and rain are in the forecast as both the corn and soybean crop are rated near 80 percent good or excellent by the latest Nebraska Weather and Crop report from the Nebraska Field Office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service. According to the report, for the week ending Sunday, statewide the corn crop was rated 79 percent good or excellent, while the soybean crop was rated 78 percent good or excellent. Irrigated corn was rated 82 percent good or excellent and dryland corn was rated 74 percent good or excellent. Nearly all the corn has silked, with 34 percent in the dough stage, compared to the five-year average of 45 percent. Nearly all the soybeans have bloomed and 50 percent have set pods, compared to the five-year average of 66 percent. Still, the condition of both Nebraska's corn and soybean crops at this stage of development has been rated by the USDA as among the best in nation. For the 18 major corn-growing states, 60
percent of the crop is rated either good or excellent as it continues to decline because of hot, dry conditions that have been hitting parts of the nation hard this summer. According to the USDA, for the previous week, the 18 states' corn was reported 62 percent good or excellent, which had fallen nearly 10 percentage points from 71 percent good or excellent the week before. With Nebraska's corn rated 79 percent good or excellent, other major or surrounding states' corn crop was rated: Iowa, 73 percent good or excellent; Illinois, 50 percent; Kansas, 33 percent; Missouri, 42 percent; South Dakota, 78 percent; Minnesota, 74 percent; and Colorado, 68 percent. Likewise with soybeans, Nebraska's crop, which was rated 78 percent good or excellent, was among the best in the nation, along with Iowa, 75 percent; South Dakota, 79 percent; and Minnesota, 70 percent. For the 18 major soybean-growing states, the crop was rated 61 percent good or excellent, compared to the previous week's 60 percent. According to Patrice Sarath of The Hoover's Company, losses related to the drought are at

about $1.5 billion and lost production could translate into higher feed cost for livestock producers, higher food prices for consumers and a drop in exports to other countries. For example, the USDA reported 40 percent of Texas' corn crop was rated very poor, while 52 percent was rated fair or poor and 8 percent rated good. Last year, Texas corn production was 301 million bushels, a record crop for the state. In Nebraska, other major crops are also faring well, as the USDA has rated the alfalfa crop 80 percent good or excellent; dry beans, 67 percent good or excellent; and sorghum, 81 percent good or excellent. Nebraska's pasture and range conditions are rated 73 percent good or excellent, compared to the five-year average of 59 percent good or excellent. Into the weekend for the Grand Island area, temperatures will be in the 80s (with cooler conditions Wednesday with a high in the low 70s), with chances for showers and thunderstorms daily through Friday.

NRD Offers New Recreation Areas (Lincoln, NE) This summer several of Nebraska’s Natural Resources Districts (NRDs) have opened or re-opened recreation areas in their district. The districts with new or renovated areas include: Little Blue, Lower Big Blue, Lower Elkhorn, Nemaha and Upper Big Blue. These areas offer a variety of outdoor recreation activities including; fishing, hiking and camping. “In addition to providing much-needed opportunities for outdoor fun, NRD recreation areas are often built and operated to meet multipurpose needs”, said Mary Ann Wortmann, the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts (NARD) Board President. “NRDs combine recreation facilities with other purposes including: flood control structures to protect lives and property, wildlife habitat enhancement, prevention of soil erosion, aide in sediment control, provide wetland renovation, other important conservation activities and provide local outdoor experience,” said Wortmann. New or renovated recreation areas and features include: Little Blue NRD: Liberty Cove recreation area near Lawrence and Lone Star recreation area near Strang have been renovated in 2011 to include new camper pads. Both recreation areas offer fishing and camping and Liberty Cove has 1.4 miles of walking trail that tours around the lake as well as Lone Star walking trail. Lower Big Blue NRD: The Big Indian Lake improvement project near Odell has been completed and the recreation area was officially re-opened in June, 2011. Several new additions have been added to the lake including: an emergency helipad, three sediment dikes, four maintenance breakwaters, nine in-lake breakwaters, and fish shoals and scallops have been constructed. Among other changes, visitors to Big Indian Recreation Area will notice improved shoreline stabilization, improved access, a new boat ramp, boat dock, handicap-accessible restroom, additional and improved camping areas and a new beach with the swimming cove protected by breakwaters. Lower Elkhorn NRD: The brand Maple Creak Recreation Area near Leigh, opened in May of this year. The 160 acre reservoir’s primary purpose is flood protection for the south side of Leigh, downstream bridges and land owner along the west fork of Maple Creek. The reservoir is divided into two parts by highway 91, which was raised to create a sediment retention/wetland area to provide good

water quality and extend the life of the reservoir. The recreation area includes camper pads, a swimming beach, a walking/biking trail, fishing, boating (5 mph – no wake), and picnic shelters. Nemaha NRD: At Iron Horse Trail Lake near DuBois, renovations included tree clearing, sediment removal and construction of sediment traps to slow the movement of new sediment into the lake. Fishing will be available but anxious angers will have to wait a couple of years for newly stocked fish to reach catchable size. Incorporated into the renovation work were improved fish habitat, fishing access points that include a handicapped accessible fishing pier, a boat mooring island near the beach, and walking trails. While the park was closed for renovations, the NRD also added 11 electrical camping hookups and developed a new, primitive RV and tent camping area. Upper Big Blue NRD: The completed upgrade project at Recharge Lake near York, includes 12 new camping pads, an RV Dump Station, a refurbished day use area, dedicated tent camping area, outdoor amphitheater with tiered-seating, new restrooms, two new picnic shelters with picnic tables, cooking grills, and fire rings, plus additional landscaping and planting of new tree. These upgrades and new amenities complement the already established hiking and biking trails, playground equipment, boat dock, and boat ramp. To learn more about these areas or other NRD Recreation areas visit www.nrdrec.org, this is a new interactive website that allows you to search dozens of outdoor recreation areas perfect for camping, fishing, a family picnic, hiking/biking, wildlife viewing, and much more. The interactive website allows you to search for recreation areas by NRD, highlight an activity at a recreation area such as boating or fishing, or find a lake with a specific type of fish. The Nebraska Association of Resources Districts (NARD), the trade association for Nebraska's 23 natural resources districts, works with individual NRDs to protect lives, protect property, and protect the future of Nebraska’s natural resources. These districts are unique to Nebraska. NRDs are local government entities with broad responsibilities to protect our natural resources. Major Nebraska river basins form the boundaries of the 23 NRDs, enabling districts to respond best to local conservation and resource management needs. To learn more about Nebraska NRDs visit www.nrdnet.org.
Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Reassures Farmers and Ranchers in States Affected by Extreme Weather WASHINGTON - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today pledged his commitment to the nation's farmers, ranchers and rural communities that USDA would continue to work to deliver assistance to those affected by recent extreme weather, including floods, drought, fires and tornadoes. Vilsack said that USDA would work to offer flexibility to producers and encouraged producers to contact their local county or state USDA Service Center or Farm Service Agency office for assistance. Vilsack also announced additional flexibility in the Conservation Reserve Program that will assist producers struggling from drought in a number of states. "America's farmers and rural communities are vitally important to our nation's economy and our values, and my heart goes out to all who are facing hardships because of severe weather and natural disasters," said Vilsack. "At USDA, we are working tirelessly to get assistance to folks who need it and are searching for flexibility in our programs to help farmers and ranchers in these difficult times. We will continue to listen to producers' concerns and, whenever possible, offer assistance to help put people on the road to recovery as quickly as possible." Vilsack has issued disaster designations for 547 counties in 30 states. So far, producers have received $693 million in indemnity payments to help recover from disasters, including more than $520 million to those affected by drought and $88 million to those affected by flooding. Additional assistance for livestock producers affected by the drought comes from the Livestock Forage Program which has already provided $114 million nationwide and over $50 million in Texas, $24 million in Oklahoma, and $11 million in New Mexico. This timely assistance helps ranchers purchase feed for their livestock when they need it most. USDA has also offered more than $30 million in emergency loans to help about 280 producers recover from production and physical losses due to disaster. To provide producers additional flexibility, USDA has Continued on page 23

NE FSA Offices Implement Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) For Missouri River Flooding Damages 46344
LINCOLN – “The Nebraska Farm Service Agency (FSA) is implementing the ECP to assist producers in rehabilitating farmland and conservation facilities damaged by the Missouri River flooding,” according to Dan Steinkruger, State Executive Director of the Nebraska Farm Service Agency. The following counties have been approved for the ECP to help in assisting producers to rehabilitate farmland and conservation facilities damaged by the flooding: Boyd, Burt, Cass, Cedar, Dakota, Dixon, Douglas, Knox, Nemaha, Otoe, Richardson, Sarpy, Thurston, Washington Producers can file applications for the ECP at their local FSA office from September 1, 2011 through October 31, 2011. The ECP is available to provide cost share assistance to agricultural producers who have suffered severe damage to
Upcoming Special Sections
their farmland as a result of a natural disaster and the damage is of such magnitude that it would be too costly to rehabilitate without federal assistance. Producers may be eligible to receive 75 percent of the eligible cost of restoration not to exceed $200,000 per natural disaster occurrence. Eligible practices include Debris Removal, Grading, Shaping, Re-leveling or similar Measures, Restoring Permanent Fences, Restoring Conservation Structures, and Field Windbreaks and Farmstead Shelterbelts. ECP application approvals are subject to the availability of funds and will depend on future dollars when determining full application approval. For producer’s land to be eligible, the disaster must create new conservation problems that, if untreated, would impair or endanger the land and affect its productive capacity. Conservation problems that existed prior to the applicable disaster are ineligible for ECP assistance. More information on ECP and other disaster assistance programs is available at any FSA office and online at: http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov.

Nebraska's Corn Crop Projected to be Record By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent A hot July has taken its toll on the nation's crops, according to a report issued Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But while the heat has impacted Nebraska's crops, based on Aug. 1 conditions, the state's corn crop is still forecast at a record high 1.6 billion bushels, 9 percent above last year's production and 2 percent above the previous record high in 2009, according to USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. In Nebraska, temperatures were hot in July, but not like the soaring temperatures in the Southwest. Also, rainfall was sufficient across the state, though the hot weather did impact the pollination process. Statewide, the area of corn to be harvested for grain, at 9.65 million acres, is up 9 percent from a year ago. Yield is forecast at 166 bushels per acre, unchanged from last year. Nationwide, the USDA said corn production is forecast at 12.9 billion bushels, up 4 percent from 2010. If realized, the USDA said this will be the third-largest production total on record for the United States. Based on conditions as of Aug. 1, the USDA said yields are expected to average 153 bushels per acre, up 0.2 bushel from 2010, and the fourthhighest yield on record. Acreage planted for all purposes is estimated at 92.3 million acres, unchanged from the June estimate. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 84.4 million acres, down less than 1
percent from June, but up 4 percent from 2010. The USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, which was also issued Thursday, reported that U.S. feed grain supplies for 2011-12 are projected lower this month, with sharp drops in forecast corn and sorghum production. According to the USDA, corn production for 2011-12 is forecast 556 million bushels lower than previously expected, with a reduction in harvested area and lower expected yields. The national average yield is forecast at 153 bushels per acre, down 5.7 bushels from last month's projection, as unusually high temperatures and below-average precipitation during July across much of the Corn Belt sharply reduced yield prospects. The Associated Press reported Thursday that the price of corn jumped 26 cents to $7.14 a bushel after the report was released. The AP said that's almost twice the price paid last year. But it's below the record $7.99 reached in June. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported earlier this week that last month was the fourth-warmest July on record in the U.S. The average temperature across the U.S. in July was 77 degrees, 2.7 degrees higher than the long-term average (1901-2000). Precipitation averaged out to 2.46 inches, which is 0.32 inches below average, with large variability between regions. Continued on page 23

Kids Stampede into Fairgrounds Field trip teaches heritage, the sport of rodeo HASTINGS, NEB. – Instead of horses and bulls, kids will stampede into the Adams County Fairgrounds on September 2. That’s the annual Kids’ Day at the Oregon Trail Rodeo, an opportunity for fourth grade students from area schools to get a taste of pro rodeo. The Oregon Trail Rodeo has hosted a Kids Day for the past decade, Willis Hunt figures. Hunt has been in charge of it from its beginning. “It’s been well received,” he said. “We have a good time doing it.” About 500 kids and 55 accompanying adults pass through several stations: the history of rodeo, rodeo’s place in Nebraska history (Buffalo Bill put on a wild west show in Hastings on five different occasions, Hunt said), and present day rodeo. Then kids go into the arena where professional cowboys and volunteers demonstrate steer wrestling, tiedown roping and barrel racing. “We love it,” said fourth grade teacher Rita Will from Lincoln Elementary in Hastings. “It’s
a great educational experience for the kids, and it fits well with our fourth grade curriculum,” which emphasizes Nebraska history. “It gets better every year.” Kids from Hastings elementary schools, Juniata, Doniphan-Trumbull, Red Cloud, St. Michael's, Giltner, and other schools take part. This year, a school new to the field day: Nebraska Christian Elementary in Central City – will participate. Mrs. Will’s students enjoy all part of the Kids’ Day. “We walk over,” from school, “so that’s fun. They enjoy the whole morning spent outside, and they like the hands on activities, where cowboys let them swing the rope or practice the actual event. That keeps them engaged.” And it’s more than just a field trip. “We’re trying to give a heritage to our children,” Hunt said. “Our young people have no heritage unless we tell them about the past, unless they can experience it.”

Next Order of Business: Pass Trade Agreements by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335
Several times since taking office President Obama announced he will pivot his focus to job creation. The reality is creating jobs and spurring economic growth always should be the top priorities for the White House and Congress. The July job statistics from the Department of Labor found only 117,000 jobs were added last month – far short of the 250,000 many economists say are needed to propel the economy forward. In the midst of the debate about raising the debt ceiling, the President announced he would delay sending the trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea to Congress until after August. Rather than press forward to get approval for these agreements, the White House decided to hold them hostage. Unfortunately, farmers, ranchers, manufacturers, and small businesses will continue losing opportunities because of this needless delay. The longer we wait to approve the agreements, the more market share we lose to international competitions and the more hardworking Americans are punished.

For example, the European Union and South Korea recently implemented a trade agreement. This agreement is having an immediate, positive impact. From July 1 to July 13, EU exports to South Korea increased by 16%. In just two weeks, EU exporters directly benefited from increased exports and gained market share in South Korea which will be difficult for U.S. producers to reclaim. As a member of the Committee on Ways and Means and its Subcommittee on Trade, I am working to move these agreements forward, which the House is prepared to do at any time. On August 3, the Senate announced it had agreed on a process to move the pending trade agreements forward as well. This agreement on a path for approval brings us one step closer toward our products reaching global markets. With the both chambers of Congress prepared to act, it is now up to the White House to move as quickly as possible. In 2010 exported products from the Third District totaled more than $2 billion, supporting more than 8,000 jobs. These figures

would only increase if the agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea were enacted. We cannot afford for these trade agreements languish any longer. Trade is the model economic stimulus. Increased exports to our allies around the world creates new American jobs which would in turn spur economic growth – all without requiring one dime of new government spending. Even President Obama admits passing the trade agreements would directly support 250,000 American jobs. Congress and the Administration should be taking all available steps during these tough economic times to increase exports and the jobs trade supports. While the national economic impact of these agreements is tremendously valuable, trade is distinctly important to Nebraska. The next decade offers great opportunity for the farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers in our state because expanding access to thriving international markets would produce a direct benefit.

It’s no wonder people get frustrated when Washington spends six months debating how to reduce the deficit and ends up with the political drama we’ve just witnessed, pushing our country to the edge of its first ever default. What’s even more frustrating to me, and probably others, is that the perpetual debate ended with just kicking the can down the road again. Washington’s Perpetual Debate Impacts Nebraska The so-called debt reduction plan that Congress passed, which I voted against, basically puts into law that the perpetual debate must continue. Already, the last six months of talk had an impact on our economy. The markets declined and the confidence of business leaders in Nebraska and across the Midwest was shaken. A new Business Conditions Index shows that business leaders aren’t optimistic about the economy in the next six months. The confidence index dipped below 50 for the first time since February 2009 during the worst of the recession.

Celebrating the Agriculture Outlook By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031
The headline on the front page of the July 11, 2011, Time magazine was intriguing: "Want to Make More Than a Banker? Become A Farmer!" I was very proud of our state when I read the story and found Nebraskan John Willoughby and his farm as the photo backdrop for the piece. The article featured a discussion on the profitability of agriculture, and talked about what that has meant for our state. Nebraska has weathered the economic slowdown better than most states due in large part to our agriculturally-based economy. Nebraska's unemployment rate is the second lowest in the nation. Hard work and sweat equity as any farmer or rancher can tell you, is why agriculture has been successful. Another area where Nebraska has excelled during the economic slowdown is with our trade efforts. Our current efforts include a trade mission to eastern Asia being led by Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy that will build upon previous work in the region on agricultural exports and educational collaboration. In 2010, Hong Kong was Nebraska's sixth largest agricultural trade partner, and Taiwan was the state's seventh largest. Lt. Gov. Sheehy will lead a small delegation to Taiwan and Hong
Kong Aug. 9-17, while Nebraska Agriculture Director Greg Ibach will lead the trip when the group travels to Beijing, China, Aug. 18-20. In 2007, I led a prosperous trade mission to the region, and last year a Nebraska trade delegation returned from Taiwan with signed agreements with Taiwanese representatives for an estimated $500 million in corn, soybeans and wheat exports. In addition to trade efforts, there is more good news for Nebraska. Across the state, a successful wheat harvest is nearing completion. Corn and soybean irrigation is in full swing, and livestock producers are caring for their animals in the extreme heat. It is worth the effort. Crop commodity and livestock prices are generally good across the board. Estimates from the United States Department of Agriculture predict the second highest net farm income in the past 35 years. This 19 percent increase is on the heels of a 27 percent increase in 2010. This good farm news has translated into positive returns for agribusiness. Farmers are reinvesting their income into new grain bins, tractors, shop buildings, pickups and irrigation equipment. As a result, main streets all across Nebraska are doing better.

It's an exciting time for agriculture. There is a great deal of optimism. However, there are potential challenges to acknowledge. Tens of thousands of crop and pasture acres were flooded this spring along the Missouri and Platte Rivers. These are acres that held the promise of a good year. Now producers are wondering if they'll be able to crop them or graze them next spring. Additionally, I requested and received a United States Department of Agriculture agricultural disaster designations for 15 of the most severely impacted counties, which opens up some assistance programs for impacted producers. We must also keep our eye on several other challenges. Many farmers and ranchers are concerned about the current regulatory activities of the Environmental Protection Agency. The largest potential threat to the agriculture industry is extreme animal activist organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States, which could threaten Nebraska's livestock industry. I want to thank our farmers and ranchers for what they do for our state. Agriculture has been and will continue to be essential to Nebraska's economic success.

BUDGET, DEFICIT WOES TO HAVE BIG IMPACT ON FARM BILL Continued from page 1 Regardless of high commodity prices, direct payments are available to producers with eligible historical production of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, rice, soybeans, other oilseeds and peanuts. "Budget issues are going to affect everything, including the next Farm Bill, which is the reality of what we are dealing with," he said. "It is a very difficult budget." To highlight that point, Johanns said, as part of the debt-ceiling agreement passed last month, Congress has assigned itself the task of cutting the budget by $2 trillion immediately and more in the future. The problem when it comes to the federal agricultural budget, Johanns said, is that 83 percent is spent on domestic food assistance programs, mostly food stamps and the government's reduced-price lunch program. Because of the current economic downturn, demand for those nutritional programs is at a record high, he said. With Johanns saying it would be unlikely that lawmakers would cut nutritional programs to the poor, there will be pressure to cut farm programs, such as conservation, commodities & crop insurance.
That makes direct payments to producers more vulnerable to budget pressure because of the current higher crop prices. While Johanns favors reducing direct payments, cuts to conservation and crop insurance programs could be detrimental to the nation's farmers, especially crop insurance. On Monday, the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City reported that, during the second quarter of this year, drought and flooding have impacted farmers, along with higher production costs, such as energy and feed. Several comments from the report emphasize the role crop insurance will play this year because of the weather problems facing producers. For example, a banker from southwest Oklahoma commented: "Severe drought hurt crops, but farmers will receive income from crop insurance." Another banker from eastern Nebraska said: "Missouri River flooding has the potential to affect over 400,000 acres of crop production plus the cost of cleanup and building repairs." Also, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week that corn production for 2011-12 is forecast to be 556 million bushels lower, with a reduc-
tion in harvested area and lower expected yields because of severe weather during July. But Johanns said the crop insurance program was cut by $6 billion in the 2008 Farm Bill and another $6 billion in 2010, with $4 billion used for debt reduction and $2 billion reinvested in conservation programs. While Johanns said the current budget allotment for the federal crop insurance program will not be impacted this year, it is a different story when lawmakers begin drafting a new Farm Bill next year. "Crop insurance is the real safety net," he said. With the government not having to make loan deficiency payments and counter-cyclical payments due to higher crop prices, he said, the key component to the Farm Bill, especially as a safety net, is crop insurance. "If you lose crops, at least there is some safety net, even though it is not as good as raising a crop," he said. "The battleground here is to keep crop insurance in place and do everything we can to improve it."

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry
Southern Drought Creates Opportunities, Issues for Nebraska's Beef Industry
Nebraska cattle, including these south of Kearney, have plenty of grass to graze this summer, unlike livestock in drought-decimated Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas. Feed needs and herd culling in the southern Great Plains have short-term and long-term implications for Nebraskas cattle industry. Line and Amherst Gelbvieh breeder Mike Taubenheim said they haven't had any contacts from southern producers for pasture or hay. "If we've got it, we use it," Taubenheim said about feed supplies. Line guessed that most
central Nebraska pastures already are taken, which means there are few, if any, places to graze more cattle. Craig Uden, who manages cattle procurement and customer relations for Darr Feedlot near Cozad, sees drought results in the higher numbers of lightweight cattle offered by Texas and Oklahoma producers. "They are just short of grass and short of water," Uden said, which is why 400pound feeder cattle are being sold and shipped north. He normally wouldn't see Texas and Oklahoma cattle now. "Those cattle would be offered in the fall and winter ... We've never seen it this big," Uden said, adding that he's heard of some cattle sales in drought country going on 24 hours a day. "The better cows will find a different home," he said, and older, less-productive cows will be culled, which can be good if done periodically. "The bad thing is if we keep liquidating cows in that country, there will be short supplies." That's true even though herd growth in northern and western states is making up some of the difference, Uden said, because the drought losses are extending the trend of declining U.S. cattle numbers. "We've taken a lot of cattle out of production the last few years because of (feed) costs," he said, and those costs, the general economy and producer age may mean some Texas and Oklahoma cattlemen won't rebuild their businesses. Uden and Ibach said that has implications for all segments of the ag economy. "Our feedlot industry is very important to us and our slaughter industry," Ibach said. "Can we keep our feedlots full and our processing plants at capacity?" Other concerns include maintaining markets for corn, ethanol byproducts and other feeds and continuing to attract consumers to beef products that now are higher priced in domestic and international markets.

KEARNEY - Nebraska farmers and ranchers clearly remember a severe drought less than a decade ago that withered crops and left pastures looking like deserts. Now, they empathize with struggling ag producers in the baked and bone-dry southern Great Plains. In Texas alone, 70 percent of the rangeland and pastures are classified as very poor, reflecting a crop failure and leaving little, if any, food for grazing livestock. "I feel sorry for the guys down there," said Darby Line of Miller, who raises Simmental and Angus cattle. "We went through this not all that long ago." Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach of Sumner said the drought creates opportunities for Nebraskans with extra hay or pasture space to generate some extra income. However, he hopes high hay prices won't erase memories of the 2000-2004 drought and the need to maintain adequate feed supplies. Brad Howard of V.C. Howard Hay Co. at Litchfield has seen a boost in his business, which focuses on grinding hay and wet corn and on hauling corn and distillers grains from ethanol plants to Nebraska cattle feeders. As cattle are shipped from drought areas to pastures and feedlots to the north, some of his customers have a greater demand for his products. "I see loads of hay going south every day," Howard said. He shares Ibach's concern that some Nebraska producers may take advantage of high alfalfa prices now - $115 to $120 per ton compared with $50 to $70 a year ago - and then face fall and winter feed shortages. Howard said area farmers who bale corn stover, soybean stubble and wheat stubble after harvest can mix those fillers with distillers grains in their livestock feed. Then, they can consider selling excess hay.
"If we don't have the cornstalks covered with snow, we'll all get through this," he said. Demand for Nebraska hay may shrink with the size of Texas and Oklahoma cattle herds. Howard said costs to transport hay 400 miles to Texas can boost the price to $200 per ton, and some cattlemen won't be able to afford that for long.

NEBRASKA HAY SUMMARY Week Ending 8/12/2011 Eastern Nebraska: Compared to last week, alfalfa fully steady, grass fully steady, dehy pellets sold steady in the Platte Valley and steady to 5.00 higher in North East part of the state. Ground and delivered to feedlots sold steady. Majority of the hay sales continue to be sold to out of state buyers. Most seller/buyers are having a very hard time finding trucks that will hall the product, especially when the hay needs to be tarped. Some out of state producers have bought hay in the windrow and are using their own equipment to bale and haul it home. Tough running in some parts of the state on 3rd cutting, heavy dew and spotty rains have made this cutting hard to bale. Some producers are buying alfalfa seed to plant later this fall. All prices dollars per ton FOB stack in medium to large square bales and rounds, unless otherwise noted. Prices from the most recent reported sales. Nebraska Department of Agriculture has a hay and forage directory available at www.agr.state.ne.us click on Hay Information. Northeast Nebraska: Alfalfa: Premium large square bales 180.00-190.00, Good large square bales 150.00-165.00, few at 200.00 for horses; fair large square 135.00-140.00. Good large rounds 120.00.

Confirmed: 152,276 Week Ago: 159,730
Lean hog trade has been lower this week due to chart selling. The weekly net change is $2.07 lower on the October contract. The Census Bureau data reported this week that July pork exports were 127,100 tons which was up 1% from June; year to date totals were also up 15%. China's National Grain and Oils center reported, however, that the country's hog population rose to 3.8 million head which was up 1.1% from June. This marks the fourth consecutive month of increases, which may limit the long-term sustainability of bullish US pork export numbers. On the chart, the October contract slipped to a 4-day low at midweek which may promote a test of the 200-day moving average down at 8645. Cash trade was mixed at midweek but the cash influence has been minimized recently. Specifically, cash is significantly higher relative to futures, so lower day to day cash trade will likely be priced-in until cash is inline with futures prices. Last week's hog weights were reported on Wednesday at 261 pounds which .3 pounds heavier versus the previous week but still 4.6 pounds lighter versus year ago levels.

Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to renewed chart selling. The weekly net change is $2.05 lower on the August contract and October is down $3.05. The futures have given back a good portion of last week's gains and the chart is now starting to turn lower. The October contract moved below the 50-day moving average at 117.10 at midweek which may promote a test of support at $115.50. The Cattle on Feed report will be released on Friday. The Average total on feed estimate is 108%. Placements are expected at 117% and marketings are projected to come in at 96%. These are expectations, but they are
negative numbers which may have contributed to the long liquidation Wednesday. The cutout finished higher on Wednesday with choice up $1.62 at $185.94 and select was up $1.23 182.24. There has been some light cash trade reported at $186 dressed this week which was lower than expected.

Taubenheim is confident that U.S. beef producers can meet consumer demands in the meantime. "Texas is big, but there is a lot of beef in the East and North, and in Nebraska," he said. Line said the cattle market has been good recently and continuing low numbers resulting from the drought should keep prices good for awhile. He still hopes to see a quick rebuilding of the lost herds. "We've been in that situation where we had to decide whether to sell cows or hold on a little longer," Line said. Ibach sees the current conditions as part of the continuing balancing act by farmers and ranchers between short-term gains and-or losses and longterm gains and-or losses. "Producers in Nebraska are very versatile and can adapt to conditions as they present themselves," he said
NEBRASKA'S CORN CROP PROJECTED TO BE RECORD Continued from page 13 According to NOAA, the south central part of the country probably experienced the worst weather of all. Oklahoma and Texas each had their hottest months ever. The average temperature in the south was 86.1 degrees. The USDA's WASDE report said that with total projected corn use for 2011-12 reduced by 340 million bushels, the feed and residual use projection is 150 million bushels lower, reflecting the smaller crop and higher expected prices. Corn use for ethanol is projected 50 million bushels lower, with tighter supplies and lower forecast gasoline consumption for 2011 and 2012. The corn export projection for 2011-12 has been reduced 150 million bushels, with wheat feeding expected to increase. According to the WASDE report, ending stocks are projected 156 million bushels lower at 714 million bushels, with the stocks-to-use ratio projected at 5.4 percent, compared with last month's projection of 6.4 percent. The seasonaverage farm price is projected at $6.20 to $7.20 per bushel, up 70 cents on each end of the range. Nebraska's soybean production is forecast at 244 million bushels, 9 percent less than last year, according to the USDA. Area for harvest, at 4.7 million acres, is down 8 percent from 2010. Yield is forecast at 52 bushels per acre, down one-half bushel from last year. Nationwide, soybean production is forecast at 3.06 billion bushels, down 8 percent from last year. Based on Aug. 1 conditions, the USDA said

SOUTHERN DROUGHT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES, ISSUES FOR NEBRASKA'S BEEF INDUSTRY "We still have to be price-competitive with other proteins at the meat case. Worldwide, there is a very high demand for all kinds of proteins," Ibach said. Sales of cull cattle may hurt prices in the shortterm, Taubenheim said, but there should be opportunities for seed stock growers when Southern cattlemen start rebuilding. He expects producers in Texas, Oklahoma and southern Kansas to keep their base genetics, even if it's one-third of their original herds. "To get back and have the same quality would take five to seven years," Taubenheim said. "... If you try to go faster than that, you're gonna sacrifice quality for quantity." "A generation of genetics is being compromised because they (drought-area producers) don't have the resources to sustain them," Ibach said.

yields are expected to average 41.4 bushels per acre, down 2.1 bushels from last year. With wheat harvest completed in Nebraska, its winter wheat crop is forecast at 63 million bushels, up 2 percent from last month's forecast, but 2 percent below last year's crop, according to the USDA. Area for grain, at 1.4 million acres, is unchanged from last month, but 6 percent below last year. Yield is forecast at 45 bushels per acre, up 1 bushel from last month and 2 bushels above last year. Nationwide, the USDA said that all wheat production, at 2.08 billion bushels, is down 1 percent from the July forecast and down 6 percent from 2010. Based on Aug. 1 conditions, the United States yield is forecast at 45.2 bushels per acre, up 0.6 bushel from last month, but down 1.2 bushels from last year. For other Nebraska crops: " Sorghum yield is forecast at 83 bushels per acre, down 7 bushels from last year. Production is forecast at 5.4 million bushels, down 20 percent from a year ago, a result of fewer acres planted and a lower expected yield. " Oat yield is forecast at 66 bushels per acre, 2 bushels below last year. Production of 1.32 million bushels is 22 percent below last year. " Dry edible bean production is down 21 percent from last year, largely due to fewer acres planted. Sugar beet production is up 11 percent from 2010. " Alfalfa hay production is forecast to be 7 percent below last year and all other hay production is down 12 percent.
contacted all current loan-holders in disaster affected counties and offered them the opportunity for a 'disaster set-aside' – permission to put off their next annual payment to the final year of their loan. So far, 230 producers are taking advantage of this option. USDA is also working to rebuild local economies by making housing and business assistance programs available to help finance repair and replacement of homes and businesses in rural communities. To help feed families in need during the recovery efforts, USDA is also providing nearly $149 million in Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to more than 1.1 million individuals in 466,080 households in 11 States. USDA has also made available about $27 million in financial and technical assistance to help 25 states restore damaged and flooded land by assisting with debris removal and other repairs. To ensure assistance quickly got to those in need, USDA provided funds immediately to states to enable the states to respond quickly to any urgent needs. USDA reminds producers affected by extreme weather that resources are available to cover losses, including losses to livestock, crops, orchard trees, and private forests. Types of USDA assistance to farmers and ranchers may include the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), federal crop insurance, and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program. USDA continues working with state and local officials, as well as our federal partners, to make sure people have the necessary resources to recover from these challenges.

Cautions Remain for Continuing High Platte River Flows
Hydraulic Rakes E Co., Inc. NC
SI 959 1
THE ULTIMATES
By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub MINDEN - Platte Basin flooding concerns have eased, but water managers still face big challenges. They must release enough water from full reservoirs to make room for high river flows after irrigation season without creating more problems for flood-prone areas that include the city of North Platte. "I don't want people to think we're out of this," Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District Civil Engineer Cory Steinke of Holdrege said Tuesday at the Tri-Basin Natural Resources District board meeting in Minden. Steinke said snowpack in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming, which is the source of Platte Basin water, was 250 percent of average in a year when federal reservoirs in Wyoming started spring at full and Central's Lake McConaughy also held lots of water. There still are 250,000 acre-feet of water upstream of Lake McConaughy to "spill" in September. Steinke's challenge is to release enough lake water to make room for those high flows and still maintain a maximum elevation of 3260 after Oct. 1, as required by CNPPID's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license. "I still have North Platte in my mind," he said, knowing that releasing too much water will extend flooding in the city. As of Tuesday, the North Platte River there was at 6.73 feet. Flood stage is 6 feet. Lake McConaughy inflows at Lewellen are at 3,700 cubic feet per second, or four times the early August average of 900 cfs. "And that's with all the irrigation being on," Steinke said. There are 11/2 months left in the water year, he said, with the overall Platte Basin water supply for 2011 expected at 2 million to 2.6 million a-f, compared with 1.5 million a-f in 2010. Steinke said the numbers show how quickly conditions can change. Water managers have had to adjust their focus from years of drought early into the 21st century to flood conditions the past two years. He said CNPPID officials see all the extra water going downstream this year as lost hydropower production and income.
Flooding conditions could have been a lot worse if the snowmelt had been fast instead of slow. "We dodged a bullet," Steinke said. "...but it's not over." He expects to make higher releases from Lake McConaughy through October. Meanwhile Tuesday, much of the Tri-Basin directors' budget discussion focused on proposed water reregulation reservoirs downstream of Central's J-2 power plant that would provide more water to the Platte River at times of shortages to meet wildlife habitat target flows. Tri-Basin General Manager John Thorburn said state Department of Natural Resources officials want the NRD to participate in the $60 million project to curb Platte River depletions as part of the three-state Platte River Recovery Implementation Program. The state would pay $15 million. Tri-Basin and Grand Island-based Central Platte NRD each have been asked to pay $3 million over three years, of which 60 percent would be reimbursed. Thorburn said that leaves Tri-Basin's total share at $1.2 million. The district would get annual river credits of 2,000 acre-feet per year for the life of the project, expected to be 50 years. Tri-Basin's overall responsibility is for 2,800 a-f of additional water to the river. Thorburn said that number will increase to 3,500 a-f by 2020. The proposed project would have two shallow reservoirs on the south side of the Platte to store water that could be released into the river when needed. Thorburn said it would be J-2 water that Central is unable to divert into the Phelps Canal for irrigation. He said the Planning Committee studied six funding options for Tri-Basin's share of project costs. Three required more property taxes for fiscal year 2011-2012 and three didn't. Thorburn reminded the board that any changes to property taxes in the FY2012 budget presented at Tuesday's public hearing would require another public hearing. After a long discussion, the directors approved the budget as presented. The property taxes required for the approved budget, including county treasurers' fees, total $989,508. Thorburn said that's 0.7 percent less than for FY2011.

Outflows Continue at Above Average Levels Along North Platte Reservoir System By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald MILLS, Wyo. - The latest report from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation office in Mills, Wyo., shows above average water conditions continue to exist along the North Platte River reservoir system. In its Aug. 1 update, the Bureau shows above average outflows at all reservoirs, from 141 percent at Guernsey to 346 percent at Seminoe and Kortes. Report information is current as of July 31. The high levels are in response to record-breaking snowmelt in the Rocky Mountains this year, which resulted in potential flooding downstream. While high water conditions have receded somewhat, the North Platte River still carries well above its normal amount of water. A silt run, the annual flush of silt laden water from Guernsey Reservoir into the river and connected irrigation systems, is underway. Although large amounts of water are required to move the silt, flooding is avoided by reducing the amount of water released into the river, other than to manage the silt run, which is scheduled to continue until August 23. The silt settles into the canals, laterals and ditches, sealing them to reduce seepage, and improve efficiencies. According to the report, Seminoe Reservoir is releasing 424,300

acre-feet (AF), or 346 percent of the 122,500 AF 30-year average. Pathfinder Reservoir is sending 456,800 AF downstream, or 255 percent of the 179,300 AF 30-yearaverage. Glendo was at 148 percent of the 30-year average, or 459,700 AF. To date, the accumulated outflow for Water Year 2011, which ended July 31, was 2,111,400 AF out of Seminoe. This was 267 percent of the 30-year average of 791,400 AF. Pathfinder's accumulated outflow for WY 2011, was 1,846,300 AF, or 239 percent of the 30-year average of 771,300 AF. Inflow at Seminoe Reservoir was 550 percent of the 30-year average, or 556,200 AF compared to 101,200 AF. At 2,300 AF, Pathfinder inflows were 25 percent of the 30-year average of 9,200 AF. Seminoe's accumulated inflow for Water Year 2011 was 2,213,200 AF, or 243 percent of the 30-year average of 910,600 AF. Storage at Seminoe as of July 31 was 922,600 AF, compared to 957,000 AF in 2010. Pathfinder storage was 1,014,700 AF, compared to 1,016,500 AF in 2010. The North Platte Irrigation Project ownership is at 149 percent of the 30-year average of 713,500 AF, or 1,062,100 AF. It is at 100 percent of capacity. As of Aug. 12, just over 5,000 cubic feet per second were flowing down the North Platte River at the stateline gauge near Henry, Neb.

IntegraSpec The User Friendly ICF Insulating Concrete Forms distributed by: IntegraSpec Nebraska, LLC
★ Stronger and Safer ★ An ICF wall is also a superior structural combination of concrete and steel. When compared to stick framed buildings, an ICF wall offers greater protection from high winds in hurricane and tornado areas and from the often dangerous projectiles hurled during these storms. The strong “bond beams” created within the walls from the steel rebar protect in earthquake and mudslide prone areas stabilizing the structure when the ground has shifted or fallen.
uilt If it is b d, o with wo with ter t e b s i it Spec a r g e t n I ICF!
★ Energy Efficiency ★ With the combination of a solid concrete core in full contact with an interior and exterior insulation panel, a super energy efficient wall is created protecting the indoor air temperature. A “heat sink” is created from the thermal mass of the concrete which is now very difficult to penetrate. The total wall system is greater than the sum of its parts, reducing air leakage and increasing the “R” Performance to 40+. Owners enjoy energy savings up to 70%.
