Nebraska Crop Progress and Condition LINCOLN - For the week ending August 31, 2014, most of the State received some rain with the heaviest amounts in the east central areas, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Much of the State saw below normal temperatures with only the southeast corner being above normal. Crops and pastures benefited from the rains with only hay harvest being hindered. Also, there were a few reports of winter wheat being seeded. The number of days suitable for fieldwork was 3.4. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 4 percent very short, 23 short, 67 adequate and 6 surplus.

Subsoil moisture supplies rated 9 percent very short, 27 short, 62 adequate and 10 surplus.

Field Crops Report: Corn conditions rated 3 percent very poor, 6 poor, 20 fair, 50 good, and 21 excellent. Corn dough was 94 percent, near 91 last year and 95 for the five-year average. Corn dented was 61 percent, ahead of 48 last year, but behind 65 average. Corn mature was 8 percent, ahead of 1 last year, but equal to the average.

Soybean conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 21 fair, 54 good, and 18 excellent. Soybeans dropping leaves was 5 percent, near 4 last year and 2 average.

Sorghum conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 33 fair, 40 good, and 20 excellent. Sorghum coloring was 71 percent, well ahead of 30 last year and 35 average.

Dry bean conditions rated 3 percent very poor, 1 poor, 15 fair, 61 good, and 20 excellent. Dry beans setting pods was 92 percent, behind 96 last year and 98 average. Dry beans dropping leaves was 39 percent, ahead of 32 last year and 17 average.

Alfalfa hay conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 6 poor, 30 fair, 51 good, and 11 excellent. Alfalfa hay third cutting was 90 percent complete, ahead of 84 last year and 86 average. Alfalfa hay fourth cutting was 19 percent complete, ahead of 5 last year, but near 17 average.

Proso millet harvested was 1 percent, behind 12 last year and 6 average.

Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 6 percent very poor, 9 poor, 33 fair, 44 good, and 8 excellent.

Stock water supplies rated 1 percent very short, 6 short, 92 adequate, and 1 surplus.

Straight From the Farm Barbara Soderlin, World-Herald Justin Jones and Mark Roh parked their small delivery vehicles out of the way of a semitrailer at the Hy-Vee dock, and carted their potatoes and tomatoes into the supermarket’s stockroom, navigating past towering stacks of Oreos, Froot Loops and Pepsi.

A store produce manager fit the farmers’ Thursday morning delivery into a single shopping cart, bound for a farmstand display just inside the store’s front entrance, under a banner reading, “Pick Fresh. Choose Local.”

Jones, of Jones Produce in Crete, and Roh, of Abie Vegetable People in Abie, are small scale in the world of mass-market food sales. But with a new business they’ve started with a third partner, the farmers hope to sell above their weight class by working together to meet a growing demand for local foods.

Businesses like their Lone Tree Foods are an “emerging sector” of the agriculture industry, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These “food hubs” increase the amount of local foods available to retail, commercial and institutional customers by aggregating farmers’ products in quantities these bigger buyers need.

Food hubs also help farmers reach these customers by handling tasks such as advertising, sales, order fulfillment, storage and delivery.

While the hubs vary in business model, including for-profit and nonprofit, privately owned and cooperatively owned, hubs differ from selling to a thirdparty wholesaler, because members retain control of the product throughout the process. The hubs also provide members with resources like educational programming.

In a 2013 visit to a Virginia food hub, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said regional food hubs are meeting a “skyrocketing” consumer demand for local food through entrepreneurship that comes with a social impact.

“By serving as a link between the farm or ranch and regional buyers, food hubs keep more of the retail food dollar circulating in the local economy,” Vilsack said.

Lone Tree Foods is only in a “formative” stage, Jones said, with a launch party planned from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 11 at Dixie Quicks restaurant in Council Bluffs, where potential buyers can learn about the food available through its 11 participating producers, and growers can learn about opportunities to sell their products.

“Our concept is, you can market collaboratively without having to concede a huge amount of your profit to a middleman, because we are the middleman,” Jones said. The business makes the sale and charges the buyer a 10 percent commission on top of the farmer’s price, he said.

Iowa is home to six food hubs, the USDA said, and besides Lone Tree, Nebraska has two others.

There’s Tomato Tomato, a west Omaha business that sells direct to consumers, with both an indoor farmers market and a multifarm communitysupported agriculture-shares program.

There’s also the Nebraska Food Cooperative, a membership-based organization operated by food producers and consumers. The co-op delivers food including meat, produce and eggs to 27 Nebraska locations, including nine in Omaha, one of which is Tomato Tomato.

The cooperative is seeing so much demand for local food that it is now doubling its service territory from the eastern third of the state to communities along the Interstate 80 corridor as far west as Ogallala.

THE

FARMER’S WIFE

Page 3

The Hardesty

By Christy Welch

Steers and Tears Our county fair has come and gone, ending with the livestock sale.

Each year, my sons each keep at least one steer and one heifer to show at the Iowa State Fair.

This year, the little kid’s steer did not make its rate-of-gain target set by the state to qualify for a blue ribbon so they – my husband and son – decided to sell it after the county fair.

“Nacho” had reached selling weight, but he would have gotten a red ribbon at the State Fair too. It’s really not about the ribbon, as I believe 4-H members can learn as much, if not more, by not getting a blue ribbon. In fact, the ribbon I learned the most from in my 4-H days was the only white ribbon I received in 4-H, during my last year.

Really, going into a contest knowing what ribbon you’re going to get, and knowing that you’ll be at the bottom of the class isn’t as fun as the anticipation of “maybe” you’ll be near the top of the class.

I shouldn’t have been surprised at the course of events on the day of the sale, as this happens every year. I’ve seen it from the little kids at the fair, the big kids at the fair, and from both boys and girls.

Each year, the calf is sold, and the kid walks it back through the horse building and into the cattle building before tying it up to be loaded and sent to the packing plant later.

The little kid in previous years would go back a few times to say goodbye to his friend, which helped ease his sorrow.

This year was different though.

The cattle were loaded directly onto the trailers as they were sold.

He couldn’t go back and hang out with Nacho.

He couldn’t talk to his steer about all the time they’ve spent together.

After a big hug goodbye, Nacho disappeared onto the trailer with other kids’ cattle headed to the packing plant, never to be seen again.

My big, strong, talkative, energetic son was reduced to silently mourning the loss of this summer’s best friend, Nacho.

I know he wasn’t the only one. Some of the kids happily sell their 4-H and FFA project, doing the math in their heads to find out how big a check they are getting back.

But for others, they are letting go of their buddy.

Each year I also have tears in my eyes as my sons say goodbye to their animals, having learned so much in taking care of them.

They’ve spent almost a year feeding, watering, washing, walking and caring for their animals.

My boys, and other 4-H and FFA members, know that if they don’t step up and be responsible in feeding and watering their animals, no one else will. That animal’s life depends upon their level of responsibility.

I think having kids being accountable in this way, having another life depend on them, makes them better. It doesn’t make them better than other kids who don’t have animals to care for, but better at being an all-around person.

The kids have to put someone else’s needs before their own, and have to make sure that life is healthy and safe. It’s a lot like being a parent to a 400 to 1,400 pound baby.

Sure, in the end, we have tears and sadness, but it’s really about the journey.

It’s not about what ribbon the queen or princess stuffs into your back pocket in the ring.

It’s about what you did and how your cared for the animal before you even got to the fair.

When my kids are older I hope they look back and think the journey was worth their time. And I hope eventually the next generation, my grandchildren, will also be given the gift of having to care for animals.

By suppertime the little kid was all smiles again and insisted on eating supper at the restaurant whose owners purchased Nacho. And when one of the owners rounded a corner, the little kid jumped up and gave her quite possibily the biggest hug he’s ever given to say thank you.

Spreading Their Wings Liz McCue, The North Platte Telegraph There is a bright side to the end of summer.

Several, in fact.

It’s butterfly season and residents in and around North Platte will be able to view swallowtails, monarchs, painted ladies, red admirals, viceroys and other species for about the next month.

David Boxler, entomologist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension in Lincoln County, said pretty much anywhere there are flowers in bloom, people will see butterflies.

In particular, monarchs and other migratory butterflies will begin showing up more as temperatures get colder to the north. Boxler said butterflies are diurnal — they are only active in the daytime — and are more active when temperatures are between 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Several fall flowers attract butterflies. Wild asters, spiderwort, columbines, petunias and marigolds are a few flowers that draw adult butterflies.

To attract butterflies to a garden, Boxler recommends planting for both the adults and their larvae. Swallowtail butterflies, for example, like to lay eggs in dill, parsley, fennel or other plants in the carrot family, Apiaceae.

By interseeding the plants or grouping two species close together, gardens will attract more

butterflies both to feed on nectar and to lay their eggs.

Nebraska is home to 14 species of swallowtail, although the most commonly-seen species are Canadian, two-tailed and western and eastern tiger swallowtails.

Boxler said gardeners can do fall plantings of carrots, dill and parsley to attract the insects.

Other garden plants that attract butterflies include butterfly and spice bushes.

Monarchs will only lay eggs in milkweed plants. Eating milkweed makes the larvae poisonous to predators.

Boxler said monarch populations are threatened because community development is reducing wild milkweed and monarch wintering sites in central Mexico are disappearing because of deforestation. Weather can also impact the monarch populations with ice in overwintering sites or a drought, like in 2012, where milkweed isn’t plentiful.

“Certainly the monarch is being threatened,” Boxler said.

Nebraska has several other species of migrating butterflies that might be seen at this time.

There are the orange and black painted ladies, white to lemon-colored sulfurs and buckeyes, which have blatant, eye-shaped patterns when their wings are open.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - The Lighter Side

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Cat’s Rights

by Lee Pitts

There seems to be organizations looking out for the civil rights of every thing and everybody these days. Gays, bisexuals, old folks, black folks, toddlers, dogs, horses, priests, prisoners, fat people, skinny people, tall people, short people, Muppies (mature urban professionals) and Puppies (pregnant urban professionals) all have their own guardians. Yet, to the best of my knowledge, no group is looking out for cats.

Cats are second rate citizens and are routinely discriminated against and I’m not going to put up with it any more. People will cross the street rather than share the sidewalk with a black cat and did you know that cats aren’t mentioned once in the Bible? You can hear the disdain we hold for cats in our speech when we use words like catty, cataclysm, and catastrophe. We need to eliminate such words from our vocabulary as it is very disrespectful.

Sadly, there is just no feeling for felines.

While 28% of Americans do not like cats only 5% dislike dogs and yet there are no cat sit-down protests, strikes or lobbyists.

Granted cats aren't real social, and very few cats are on Facebook, but still, cats have rights too!

No Congressman has stood on the floor of the House and given an impassioned plea for a Cats with Disabilities Act or health insurance for cats (Medicat). No Cat Liberation Front has stormed the shelter to

free the kitties and no Cat Victims Fund has sent me a mailer begging for money.

Why do we continue to dismiss the civil rights of cats while rich old ladies are dying and leaving their millions and mansions, to Corgis and Collies. Why do dogs have all the rights while all cats have is more kittens?

Talk about discriminated in the workplace! Dogs get the good jobs like sniffing baggage for drugs yet I don't know of a single cat employed herding cattle and sheep in this country. Although I'd pay a lot of money for a ticket to see such a thing!

The discrimination starts at the top.

President Obama and his family take their dog everywhere on vacation but I have yet to see a cat on Air Force One. For all I know, the President might have a cat but, like everyone else, when he leaves on one of his many vacations he probably just throws some cat chow on the ground and says, “You're on you're own.” As if it were an ally, or something.

Speaking of vacations, people pay a small fortune to leave their dog in a kennel where they get to play with other dogs. Next time you're at one of these places count the cats.

There are doggie bags and dog spas but whoever heard of a kitty bag or a cat massage? Poodles get clipped like a topiary hedge but a cat clip job? Never.

On the streets of every big city you'll see urban professionals walking their dogs yet when is the last time you saw a cat on a leash in New York City? I've been in banks that welcome dogs but bank Presidents would never allow cats inside. Perhaps it’s because dogs might leave a deposit, so to speak, but a cat? Never.

We make jokes about dropping cats from the top of the silo to see if they land on their feet and about washing the cat in the toilet, and rinsing them by flushing, but it's not funny if you're a cat. My heart bleeds for them. I've even seen bumper stickers on cars that say "Cats: The Other White Meat.

That's so hurtful! Cats can read too, you know? We build dog houses for our Border Collies and Labs but there's no such thing as a cat house. Well, actually there is, but I doubt they allow cats inside.

All this discrimination but I have yet to see a Million Cat March on Washington.

Probably because cats don't lobby and aren't easily organized. So I've decided what this country needs is a Cat's Legal Defense Fund to end all this discrimination. So you cat lovers out there, both of you, give generously so that I can begin to file lawsuits on behalf of cats, and my 401K, immediately. And please realize what a sacrifice this is for me because, well, I don’t really like cats all that much.

Farmers Market is About Produce & Community Irene North, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald The smell of fresh bread, melons, berries and sweet corn is a flavorful attraction to the 18th Street Farmers’ Market in Scottsbluff. Strollers, children, family, friends, fresh produce, bread and baked goods are regular sights at the market.

Marketgoers come for the food, but stay for the numerous social aspects of the market.

Regular market attendee, Arla Veth Gable said she and her husband come for the bread and the fresh produce. “We also come for the socializing,� Gable said. “We see folks we haven’t seen in a long time here.�

Farmers markets encourage interactions between vendors and customers as well as create an occasion for friends and acquaintances to meet and interact with each other. It’s a break from the typical work week and the social aspect has become just as important to marketgoers as the shopping.

For Jennifer Smith, Judy Smith, Brenda Smith and Teresa Halley, it was a perfect opportunity to spend a few minutes together. Though they did not arrive together, the market provided the chance for them to talk and catch up, if only for a few minutes.

The farmers market is also a place for community events. Market manager Katrina Tylee has brought in several groups this summer for marketgoers to learn from. Different booths have been dedicated for community groups and public agencies to provide community outreach.

The Riverside Discovery Center visited the market and brought live snakes and other educational materials. The Scottsbluff police and fire departments hosted a car seat checkup to help parents learn how to properly place car seats for their children in vehicles.

The La Leche League of Scottsbluff stopped by the market during World Breastfeeding Week with information about breastfeeding awareness.

CAPWN also made an appearance at the farmers market this summer with an information booth about the services they provide to the community.

And, of course, Sultry Sounds plays for everyone who wanders in and listens. Their music wafts through the farmers market and is as familiar and inviting as the smell of sweet corn each Saturday morning.

These special events all encourage socializing with friends and family, creating a friendly community atmosphere. Some marketgoers visit the farmers market every week.

“I know most of the vendors because they’re my friends,� said Becky McMillen. “If you get to the market late, there’s more time to spend with them.�

McMillen said she does what she can to promote the farmers market. The produce is fresh; the conversations engaging.

Several regulars come to the market each week to support the market and to spend time with friends. Market manager Katrina Tylee said she looks out for some of the regulars and knows something is wrong or something happened if they miss a week. “The marketgoers enjoy the shopping as much as they do visiting with friends and talking to vendors,� Tylee said.

Kim Engel, of Engel Farms, said she enjoys the socialization aspect of the farmers market, particularly with the Nebraska Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program. “It’s a great time for seniors to get out, get fresh produce and have social time,� Engel said.

The farmers market is a place to purchase and eat healthy food, but it also allows people to reconnect with each other. “It truly is a community event and a great time for socializing,� Engel said.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Government

September 4, 2014

Flat on its Face

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 I visit communities across the state, countless Nebraskans continue to express to me their concerns with overreach by the federal government.

Specifically, many Nebraskans are frustrated by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) increasingly heavy hand. That’s why there’s so much skepticism about EPA’s latest rule regarding the “waters of the United States” or WOTUS. On March 25, EPA released its proposed rule redefining “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act. If finalized, the rule would represent a massive land grab by the federal government, since few bodies of water would escape the agency’s broad definition of “waters of the United States.”

Under the rule, federal bureaucrats – not state and local authorities – could assert control over water resources. This means the federal government could regulate almost any body of water, from road ditches to farm ponds. Nebraskans own the surface and ground water within our state boundaries. This overreach by the federal government is dramatic in scope and unprecedented in effect.

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy recently embarked on a public relations tour to try to alleviate growing national anxiety. She stated, “I have never proposed anything that I thought would be so wellreceived as this that has fallen totally flat on its face.”

It didn’t fall flat on its face due to EPA’s failure to properly explain it. It’s fallen flat because, when drafting the rule, EPA failed to listen to those impacted by it.

Lincoln Office 440 North 8th Street, Suite 120 Lincoln, Nebraska 68508 Phone: (402) 441-4600 Fax: (402) 476-8753

The WOTUS rule would have a disproportionate impact on agriculture – the backbone of Nebraska’s economy. EPA contends that an entire set of exemptions would protect many farmers, but these exemptions do not cover weed control, fertilizer use, or other common farm practices. An August 17 Omaha World-Herald editorial noted, “Responsible environmental projection is sensible. Bureaucratic overreach and costly complications for agriculture and industry are not.”

The rule would also have a dramatic impact on state and local governments. For example, there would be an increase in the number of county-owned ditches under federal jurisdiction, increasing permitting requirements for routine maintenance.

The rule would further complicate road construction projects, which are already unnecessarily delayed by red tape.

Understandably, it’s not just farmers and ranchers who are worried. I hear the same concerns voiced by manufacturers and businesses throughout the state.

A growing coalition of Nebraskans including home builders, county officials, natural resource districts, manufacturers, contractors, and golf course owners have come together to push back against this rule. It won’t harm a select few; it will touch the lives of all Nebraskans.

So what can we do about it?

I’ve raised my strong concerns directly with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy and Ken Koposis, the president’s nominee to head EPA’s water office. I’m also cosponsoring legislation to stop the rule from taking effect. I’ve written EPA numerous letters and I encourage all Nebraskans to take advantage of the

Omaha Office 11819 Miracle Hills Drive, Suite 205 Omaha, Nebraska 68154 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725

opportunity to offer comments explaining exactly how these rules would impact your lives and your livelihoods.

Public comments are welcome until October 20.

Submit your comments, identified by Docket identification (ID) No. EPA-HQ-OW-2011-0880, by one of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www .regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.

Finally, I was pleased to learn that at long last, Cherry County’s stalled River Road construction project is ready to move forward. Needed repairs and resurfacing on River Road have been a long time coming. No one knows this better than my neighbors in Cherry County, who have been on the front lines battling regulatory red tape for a decade.

As a state senator and Chair of the Transportation and Telecommunications Committee, advancing infrastructure projects like this was one of my top priorities. In 2011, I wrote a bill allowing state officials to “swap funds” with the federal government.

This enabled the county government to use cheaper millings for pavement and get this project going. This was a practical solution to address federal regulations without earmarks or spending more money. I’m glad to hear this project is finally moving forward.

Back to School Lunches

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

Students across Nebraska returned to classes in recent weeks. However because of new, overbearing government regulations fewer students are participating in school lunch. A new national survey by the School Nutrition Association found a five percent decline in daily participation, even as the number of students receiving free and reduced meals increased.

The challenges facing school lunch programs are at least in part due to implementation of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. While I voted against this legislation, the law in theory intended to improve the quality and nutrition of meals served in American schools. In practice, this meant one-size-fits-all federal regulations with unintended consequences.

In addition to reduced participation, costs have risen, local control and flexibility has decreased, and meals may not meet the nutritional needs of all students.

Travelling Nebraska’s Third District, I often meet with students, teachers, and staff. Since the new

Grand Island Office 1811 West Second Street, Suite 105 Grand Island, NE68803 Phone: (308) 384-3900 Fax: (308) 384-3902

school lunch requirements were implemented many students tell me meals are not adequate, and they are left hungry. Administrators tell me the new requirements are straining already stretched school budgets. And parents are faced with difficult choices.

This feedback is consistent with a report issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an independent, nonpartisan federal agency in March.

The GAO report confirmed a decrease in student participation, an increase in the amount of food thrown away by students, and the challenges by school districts to plan menus and obtain food which meet the new requirements.

Most alarmingly, the GAO reported more than half of school districts surveyed believed students were going hungry because of the new calorie restrictions required by the new rules. It is worth remembering for many students school meals are their primary source of nutrition. Reductions in the size of meals

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

could affect the health and wellness of these and other students.

Decisions of how to spend limited resources are best left to local officials and school boards. They are better equipped and more accountable to meet the needs of their students and communities. I have urged Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to revisit the new school lunch rules to give more flexibility in implementing the guidelines and to review their costs and benefits.

We can all agree children need adequate and nutritious meals. As is too often the case, these worthy goals cannot be achieved by federal mandates. For all of the challenges and high costs of the new regulations it is now becoming clear too many children are not being well served by the new school lunches. As the new school year continues, hungry students and challenged school staff would welcome a change to the menu.

Veterans Deserve Flexibility, Accountability

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

Lincoln Office: 294 Federal Building 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508 Tel: (402) 476-1400 Fax: (402) 476-0605

A recent report from the Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) confirmed disturbing allegations that rampant mismanagement at some VA healthcare facilities has affected the care of thousands of our military heroes. The agency watchdog’s report revealed that of the 3,400-plus cases it reviewed, a majority of patients at the Phoenix VA facility experienced scheduling delays while trying to access primary care services.

The VA used secret waitlists to hide the number of veterans in line to receive health services—a practice that was encouraged by some senior-level staff. And while the report could not definitively confirm veterans’ deaths were directly linked to the poor care they received from the Phoenix VA, it did conclude that substandard scheduling practices were only part of the problem.

This is simply not the way we should treat our heroes. Our nation made a promise to our military men and women that we will care for them even after their service. The VA was created to uphold this pledge. It is appalling to learn of widespread examples of failures and outright cover-ups by VA employees. Indeed, even one case of negligence is unacceptable.

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

I’m pleased we have received no reports of widespread failures at Nebraska VA facilities.

Although we assist veterans who experience individual issues from time to time, I often hear from veterans who are very pleased with the care they receive in our state. That said, we have a responsibility as a nation to care for all of our veterans – in every state.

The investigation in Arizona and at 93 other facilities across the nation is ongoing, and the Department of Justice has announced its own investigation, as well. We will know more once they’ve concluded, but our veterans deserve immediate action to correct the dismal culture at the VA. As a member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I’ve led legislative efforts to improve access to care for our veterans and address systemic failures at the VA. Veterans bravely served to protect our nation’s freedom, so we should ensure they have the freedom to decide where they go for medical care. Some veterans may be completely happy with the services they receive at brick-and-mortar VA facilities, but often times traveling to the nearest VA facility is not feasible or convenient. Veterans should have the

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

option of seeking care in their local communities from non-VA health professionals they trust. If veterans face long waits for VA appointments, they should have the freedom to go to the same private practitioners who treat their family and neighbors.

The VA secretary should also have the authority to reprimand staff who are not following protocol or who are manipulating records and wait times.

Our veterans have earned top-notch care and accountability, so I’m happy Congress was able to set aside our differences and pass important reforms that address these concerns. The conference report I signed shortly before Congress adjourned in July marked the first time in 15 years that Congress’s Committees on Veterans’ Affairs engaged in a formal conference, underscoring the magnitude of the crisis at the VA, and our commitment to a swift resolution.

Much still needs to be done to clean up the VA, and I will continue to closely monitor the progress being made to restore quality and timely VA services for our veterans. While in the military they bravely fought to preserve our freedom. They should not have to battle the VA - the very agency dedicated to serving them once they return home.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is encouraging producers who have suffered eligible disaster-related losses to act to secure assistance by Sept. 30, 2014, as congressionally mandated payment reductions will take place for producers who have not acted before that date. Livestock producers that have experienced grazing losses since October 2011 and may be eligible for benefits but have not yet contacted their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office should do so as soon as possible.

The Budget Control Act passed by Congress in 2011 requires USDA to implement reductions of 7.3 percent to the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) in the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1, 2014. However, producers seeking LFP support who have scheduled appointments with their local FSA office before Oct. 1, even if the appointment occurs after Oct.1, will not see reductions in the amount of disaster relief they receive.

USDA is encouraging producers to register, request an appointment or begin a Livestock Forage Disaster Program application with their county FSA office before Oct. 1, 2014, to lock in the current zero percent sequestration rate. As an additional aid to qualified producers applying for LFP, the Farm Service's Agency has developed an online registration that enables farmers and ranchers to put their names on an electronic list before the deadline to avoid reductions in their disaster assistance. This is an alternative to visiting or contacting the county office. To place a name on the Livestock Forage Disaster Program list online, visit http://www.fsa.usda.gov/disasterregister.

Producers who already contacted the county office and have an appointment scheduled need do nothing more.

"In just four months since disaster assistance enrollments began, we've processed 240,000 applications to help farmers and ranchers who suffered losses," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Eligible producers who have not yet contacted their local FSA office should stop by or call their local FSA office, or sign up online before Oct. 1 when congressionally mandated payment reductions take effect. This will ensure they receive as much financial assistance as possible."

The Livestock Indemnity Program, the Tree Assistance Program and the Noninsured Disaster

Assistance Program Frost Freeze payments will also be cut by 7.3 percent on Oct. 1, 2014. Unlike the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, applications for these programs must be fully completed by Sept. 30. FSA offices will prioritize these applications, but as the full application process can take several days or more to complete, producers are encouraged to begin the application process as soon as possible.

The Livestock Forage Disaster Program compensates eligible livestock producers who suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire between Oct. 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2014. Eligible livestock includes alpacas, beef cattle, buffalo, beefalo, dairy cattle, deer, elk, emus, equine, goats, llamas, poultry, reindeer, sheep or swine that have been or would have been grazing the eligible grazing land or pastureland. Producers forced to liquidate their livestock may also be eligible for program benefits.

Additionally, the 2014 Farm Bill eliminated the risk management purchase requirement.

Livestock producers are no longer required to purchase coverage under the federal crop insurance program or Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program to be eligible for Livestock Forage Disaster Program assistance.

To learn more about USDA disaster relief program, producers can review the 2014 Farm Bill fact sheet at www.fsa.usda.gov/farmbill, the LFP program fact sheet, http://go.usa.gov/5JTk, or contact their local FSA office.

The Livestock Forage Disaster Program was made possible through the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

Reservations for the 2014-2015 school year are limited to 5,000 students on a first-come-first served basis. These spots fill up quickly, according to event coordinators, who urge teachers to sign up their classes as soon as possible, even if they don’t have firm schedules yet for their State Capitol visit. It is especially important that teachers wanting to bring their classes for the first time register quickly, they said, since many teachers have been bringing their classes back every year of the program’s existence.

Teachers can register their classes online at agsacklunchprogram.com More than 20,000 fourth-graders visit the State Capitol in Lincoln each year as part of their statemandated curriculum. The Ag Sack Lunch Program uses these visits as an opportunity to reach participating classes with its informative agriculture-centered message.

Letters of invitation will be sent in early September to fourth-grade teachers in about 660 elementary schools across 44 counties in the eastern third of Nebraska, the classes most likely to make the Lincoln trip. A primary objective is to help students from urban areas develop a better understanding of how agriculture impacts their daily lives.

In addition to the free sack lunches, each student receives a card game full of farm-related facts to take home and play with their families.

Many teachers use the game in classroom settings, as well.

The presentations, which last about 20 minutes, teach students about the vital role agriculture plays in the state’s economy. Presentation leaders are “Ag Ambassadors,” University of NebraskaLincoln students trained specifically to conduct these sessions. All come from farming backgrounds, and are enthusiastic about agriculture.

Among the facts the Ag Ambassadors tell students is that one in three jobs in Nebraska have some connection to agriculture, including equipment manufacturing and sales, building construction, transportation and supermarket retailers. Students also learn that Nebraska ranks first in the country in cattle production, sixth in pork production, and that over one-third of Nebraska-produced grain is fed to livestock within the state.

“Over its first four years, the Ag Sack Lunch Program has been successful in helping our fourth-graders understand where their food comes from and how Nebraska’s farm production methods help protect the environment while ensuring food safety and promoting animal health,” says Victor Bohuyslavsky, NSB executive director. “Participating teachers continue to tell us how their students learn so much from the presentations.” he says.

The NPPA also sees the Ag Lunch Program as reaching students effectively in a relaxed environment. “Since the kids come to Lincoln to tour the State Capitol anyway, it’s a great time to reach them with our message,” says Kyla Wize, the organization’s youth leadership and events specialist.

Teachers whose classes participated in the 201314 school year, voiced strong support for the program and its effectiveness in communicating its message to their fourth-graders.

“This is a great program,” says Bonnie Andrews, teacher at St. Mary’s School in David City. “I’m a teacher, but also a farmer and the facts given to the students are great. Keep up the awesome work.”

Lori Elder, fourth-grade teacher at Omaha’s Wilson Focus School, agrees. “We’ve been to the Capitol in the past, but we hadn’t done the Ag Sack Lunch program before. It was awesome? I loved how the lunch went along with the information the Ag Ambassadors shared. Very educational and engaging.”

Students learned how important farming is to Nebraska, according to Shawne Nelson, Yutan Elementary School in Yutan. “Students were very pumped up with Nebraska pride about Larry Sitzman, NPPA executive director, says the Ag Sack Lunch Program has been exceptionally successful in reaching students with the message that agriculture is important to all of us. “This program allows us to reach students with the truth about the dedication of Nebraska farmers to providing safe, healthy food for us and the world.”

Sponsors Rededicate the Thirty Mile Irrigation Canal GRAND ISLAND — In July 1928, a ceremony was held to dedicate the Thirty Mile Canal at Midway Ranch with over 10,000 people in attendance. A special train brought officials from the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, Union Pacific and CB&Q Railroad. Considering it was 1928 and the massive number of people who attended; it gives you an idea of how important the canal was to the Dawson County area.

A Rededication Ceremony to celebrate the completion of the rehab and tour of the project was held on Tuesday, August 19, with sponsors, Central Platte Natural Resources District (CPNRD) board and staff, Thirty Mile Irrigation District (TNID) board and staff, and community members in attendance.

Partners who spoke at the rededication included Lyndon Vogt, CPNRD general manager; Jim Harris, TMID manager; Brandi Flyr, Nebraska Dept. of Natural Resources; Mark Brohman, Nebraska Environmental Trust; Luke Dutcher, Miller & Associates; and Jerry Kenny, Platte River Recovery Program.

The project was initiated in 2012, when former CPNRD general manager Ron Bishop approached the

Thirty Mile Irrigation Company to negotiate a new way to increase flows to the Platte River. The Thirty Mile board and the CPNRD board agreed to a complete rehabilitation of the canal.

The CPNRD will be able to use the additional groundwater recharge and excess flows as credit to meet endangered species requirements of the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program, as well meet designated flow requirements as determined by LB 962. The TMID has seen an increase in irrigation efficiency, and will continue to see enhanced surface and groundwater supplies for many years to come.

CPNRD paid $1.9 million for half interest in the irrigation district; which includes half of the irrigation district’s water rights and half of the value of buildings and equipment.

The rehabilitation has included replacement or installation of 8 bridges, 8 check structures, 9 drop structures, 3 pipe roadway crossings, 2 pipe laterals, 4 miscellaneous structures, 5 flow measurement devices/structures and installation of rip rap.

The total cost of the project was $5 million.

The rehabilitation was approved as a Platte Basin Habitat

Enhancement Project, which provided 40 percent funding from the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and 20 percent funding from the Nebraska Environmental Trust. The Central Platte NRD and Thirty Mile Irrigation District each provided 20 percent.

The Thirty Mile Canal is one of three canals to be rehabilitated by the partners along the Cozad Canal

and Orchard Alfalfa rededication ceremony June for the Cozad rededication ceremony Alfalfa Canal will be spring of 2015.

Corn Stalk Nitrate Testing Todd D. Whitney UNL – Hamilton County Extension Educator Late growing season corn stalk nitrate testing has been documented as a reliable end-of-season indicator of crop nitrogen use efficiency. Also, UNL chlorophyll meters research indicates that when chlorophyll meters are utilized in conjunction with end-of-season stalk nitrate-N tests, site-specific field nitrogen fertilizer recommendations for the next growing season can be improved. Overall, fall stalk testing provides feedback regarding whether the crop received the right amount of nitrogen when needed during the growing season.

As corn commodity prices have dropped significantly, economic optimal nitrogen rates will likely be a high priority for the upcoming growing season. Groundwater nitrate levels are also an ongoing environmental concern reinforcing the importance of not over-fertilizing crops. On the flip-side, producers should not under-fertilizer corn resulting in lower yields and reduced economic returns.

To conduct the stalk nitrate test, collect stalk samples similar to how you would collect soil samples. Generally, samples are taken between when corn ear kernels reach

¼ milk line (silage harvest stage) and up to 3 weeks after corn kernel black-layer development.

Harvest stalks from representative areas removing the sheaths. Avoid sampling diseased stalks; hail or insect damaged stalks; and disregard stalks without an ear or extremely small ears.

Cut 8-inch stalk samples using a hand pruner with the lower stalk cut at 6 inches above the soil surface and the upper cut being 14 inches above the ground. It is recommend to collect at least 15 stalks per lab sample test. Keep the samples cool and clean as you work. After the samples are collected, they can be cut into shorter pieces to promote drying. Then, wrap the samples in paper (rather than plastic) to avoid mold growth; and mail to the testing laboratory as soon as possible for nitrate analysis.

End-of-season nitrate-N stalk levels above 2,000 ppm may indicate a “red” flag warning. When more nitrogen is applied than the crop actually uses, a potential result is nitrate leaching below the roots and eventually into groundwater. Fields that tend to have high stalk nitrate levels are those where corn fields followed alfalfa; manure applied fields and/or areas where excess nitrogen fertilizer was applied. Hybrid corn fields, where male rows were previously destroyed and nitrogen

application rates were not adjusted, may also result in high corn stalk nitrogen rates. Based on corn grain nutrient contents of 1.12 to 1.35 pounds of nitrogen removed per bushel of grain production, nitrogen application rates can be adjusted based on projected hybrid corn yields usually 1/3 standard irrigated corn yields.

If the stalk nitrate test results range from 700 to 2,000 ppm nitrate-N, then the nitrogen management program was likely near optimum.

Conversely, if the stalk samples tested low (below 250 ppm) or marginal (250 – 700 ppm); then there is a strong probability that the crop lost yield due to lack of nitrogen. Were potential yield targets set too low for the field? Was too much nitrogen lost in pre-season nitrogen applications? Were mid-season nitrogen chlorophyll meter reading right or correctly calibrated?

More information regarding corn stalk nitrate-N testing is available in “The Corn Stalk Nitrate Test,” UNL NebFact publication NF01-49 through our UNL Extension website http://cropwatch.unl.edu ; our UNL – Hamilton County Extension office by calling 402-694-6174 or through your local UNL Extension office.

“We don’t necessarily have to do all the research,” he said.

The National Restaurant Association lists locally sourced produce among the top five menu trends this year for both full-service and quickservice restaurants.

Since many restaurants order everything from lettuce to toilet paper from a single distributor, Chapman said, a food hub could help an owner take steps toward meeting customers’ desire for local produce without making many more phone calls or visiting more websites to place those orders.

Today, Nebraska, a state best known for producing huge quantities of corn and corn-fed beef, has more small farmers to meet the demand for a wide variety of local produce.

The number of farms under 50 acres rose 32 percent from 2007 to 2012, to more than 11,600 operations, the USDA’s most recent Census of Agriculture shows. Meanwhile the number of the largest farms, those 2,000 acres and above, grew 1 percent, to about 5,300, and the total number of all farms with cropland fell slightly, less than 1 percent, to under 40,500.

Iowa saw slower growth of small farms, at 3 percent. The number of the largest Iowa farms grew by 6 percent.

Both states saw significant growth in the number of farms growing vegetables — up by 134 in Nebraska and 81 in Iowa. Nebraska had more acres devoted to vegetables, while Iowa’s vegetable acreage fell.

Nebraska is also one of 10 states that saw a “significant” growth in the number of farmers

markets in 2013, the USDA noted in August. The number was up 4.3 percent to 97. Iowa has more farmers markets, at 230, but that number grew by just one market in 2013.

William Powers, executive director of the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society, said food hubs will help Nebraska’s younger and newer farmers reach bigger buyers with less risk. One farmer he knows, he said, was approached about selling all his produce to an Omaha-area school, but that would have meant selling all his supply to a single customer, leaving established customers behind.

With a food hub, Powers said, “They can cooperatively meet that demand for that school.”

Interest in local and organic food is almost mainstream today, but it was still a novelty in 1995 when Charuth Van Beuzekom and her husband, Kevin Loth, started ShadowBrook Farm near Lincoln, Van Beuzekom said. Today they employ 16, and their cheese-making operation, Dutch Girl Creamery, this summer started selling in Omaha Hy-Vee stores, thanks in part to their participation as a producer with Lone Tree Foods.

Nebraska Food Cooperative is expanding its distribution system, and if Lone Tree also added a delivery option, that would be an even bigger benefit to smaller producers, Van Beuzekom said.

With 130 dairy goats and the ability to source more local milk for Dutch Girl’s cheese production facility, Van Beuzekom anticipates that the three deliveries she’s made so far to Hy-Vee are just the beginning.

“The potential is huge.”

STRAIGHT FROM THE FARM Continued from page 2 For the first time the co-op has a full-time, paid manager, whose job is to move the business into the institutional market, serving restaurants, schools, nursing homes and grocers. The co-op started with 10 paid members in 2006 and today has 1,700 and growing.

“The local food movement is just going crazy,” said the manager, Caryl Guisinger, of Belgrade, who started in July. She said restaurant buyers are telling her they want “as much local food as I can get.”

Guisinger said there is room for more food hubs in Nebraska, and some of the co-op’s members are also members of Lone Tree Foods.

In addition to Jones and Roh, Lone Tree is also owned by Ben Gotschall of Davey Road Ranch in Raymond, a provider of organic, grass-fed beef, and it’s managed by Lori Tatreau, an artist and local-foods advocate who helped launch the organization and organize its workshops for farmers.

As Lone Tree launches as a formal business, it has several restaurants as customers, in addition to Iowa-based Hy-Vee. Jones said he’s had interest from potential institutional customers and a second supermarket chain.

One customer is Clayton Chapman, whose Grey Plume restaurant in Midtown Crossing serves locally sourced seasonal dishes.

He said the food hub model can be convenient for the busy chef. “If we’re looking for something, if one provider doesn’t have it, another one will.”

Hub operators also do the work of verifying that member producers use sustainable farming practices or otherwise meet certain standards.

State Fair Attendance Down 5 Percent This Year Harold Reutter, The Grand Island Independent Attendance for the 2014 Nebraska State Fair was down slightly more than 5 percent, with Executive Director Joseph McDermott saying a big drop in Sunday attendance over Labor Day weekend was the biggest reason for the overall decline.

Attendance for the 2014 fair was 317,785 people, compared to 334,931 in 2013 — a decline of 17,146 people or just more than 5.1 percent.

The 2014 State Fair had five days of increased attendance and five days of lower attendance, with Sunday, Aug. 31, seeing the biggest drop of just more than 36 percent. McDermott cited severe weather forecasts for Central Nebraska as the most likely cause for the decreased attendance, which was 45,588, compared to 71,355 in 2013 — a drop of 25,767 people.

Sunday's attendance was also about 17,300 below the average Sunday attendance on a Labor Day weekend for the previous four State Fairs in Grand Island.

The National Weather Service had issued a forecast of potential severe weather for a fairly wide area that included Grand Island. It called for a chance of thunderstorms on Sunday morning, with a better chance of more widespread and severe thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon and into Sunday night, mainly between 4 and 10 p.m.

The primary threats from that severe weather included hail, possibly up to 2 inches in diameter, winds up to 70 mph and heavy rainfall. The forecast said a tornado would be possible as well.

McDermott said Grand Island had great weather on Sunday, with any severe weather that occurred happening to the east of the city.

However, he believes the forecast likely influenced people's decisions about attending the fair that day.

While overall attendance was down, State Fair Board President Jana Kruger said the people who attended said they enjoyed the fair, based on survey results of 10,000 people, who were asked to rate the fair on a 1-to-5 scale, with 5 being the most favorable rating.

Kruger said respondents gave the fair a 4.55 rating for being family friendly, which was gratifying because one of the priorities for the State Fair Board is creating a family-friendly environment. She said respondents gave the fair a 4.4 average rating for overall enjoyment and a 4.42 average for safety, security and cleanliness.

She said survey respondents gave the fair an average rating of 3.84 when asked if the 2014 fair was better than the 2013 fair.

McDermott said more than 85 percent of people said they would recommend to others that they should attend the Nebraska State Fair.

While the Sunday prior to Labor Day was a down day, McDermott said the $2 Tuesday was a great success, with an increase of slightly more than 29.5 percent for a total attendance of more than 25,000 people. He said that promotion worked so well that it could be expanded for the 2015 fair.

"Maybe we'll have a $2 Thursday," McDermott said, noting that no final decisions have been made. He said one gratifying aspect about the $2 Tuesday was that food and other vendors voluntarily participated in the promotion, helping to make it a success.

He said letting people come to the fair on several weekdays to eat their favorite fair food for lunch and pay no admission if they presented a ticket showing they were leaving by 1 p.m. did not have an appreciable impact on attendance.

However, McDermott indicated the fair would probably keep that promotion because it could take several years to build awareness of the special offer.

McDermott was also pleased with the State Fair serving as Nebraska's Largest Classroom on three days this year, noting that 5,000 students attended on those days. He said he would like to see even more schools and students participate in 2015.

Kruger noted that the 2013 fair had extremely hot weather, while the 2014 fair had extremely rainy weather.

The fair had five straight days of measurable precipitation between Aug. 25 and Aug. 29.

Kruger noted farmers probably appreciated the rain, but McDermott acknowledged that the fair had several spots in its grass parking areas that got too muddy, although the problem areas were improved while the fair was still going on.

Potential improvement to parking will be examined during the coming months, McDermott said, including whether grading work could eliminate low spots and whether drainage might be improved. He said one problem parking area was a piece of ground where the drainage naturally flows.

He noted that the Luebbe lot east of Stuhr Road that is only used when needed worked well during the 2014 fair.

McDermott said there would be additional changes and improvements for the 2015 fair, although he said, "We won't build a new building."

That was a reference to the new Nebraska Building, which housed several new exhibit areas, most notably the Outdoor Encounter area by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Raising Nebraska exhibit, which showcases Nebraska agriculture and has the University of Nebraska-Lincoln as one of its primary partners.

McDermott and Kruger said the Nebraska Building got rave reviews.

Because the Nebraska Building was near two entrances, Outdoor Encounter and Raising Nebraska likely helped set a positive tone for numerous fairgoers at the very beginning of their visit to the Nebraska State Fair.

• Produce consistent bales because the optional monitoring system displays the weight and estimated moisture of each bale.

• Large capacity lets you work efficiently, thanks to the power windguard working in conjunction with pick-up tines to condition crop and move more material into the bale chamber.

• Get the Vermeer Package -- a simple, ruggedly designed Super M baler with the Vermeer reputation for excellence.

• Complete more bales per day by increasing baling speed and pick-up capacity, decreasing labor and time.

• Clear blockages without getting off your tractor by simply reversing the rotation of the power windguard, which unplugs the pick-up.

• See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.

Nebraska FFA to Benefit From Titan Tire Auction Each year, Titan Tire Corporation donates hundreds of farm tires for auctions that benefit local chapters of the Future Farmers of America .

Last year, Titan added Husker Harvest Days to the list of events at which the company sponsors an auction. Titan donated a total of 74 tires resulting in donations totaling $45,000. for the local FFA chapter.

With such a strong turnout in the first year, Titan Tire and FFA hope to grow the auction to new heights and keep the enthusiasm mounting.

This year's auction will be on Wednesday, Sept.

10. All proceeds from the tire auction will benefit FFA members in Nebraska â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take great pride in supporting the FFA and helping to benefit the next generation of growers,â&#x20AC;? says Scott Sloan, agricultural product manager at Titan Tire and Goodyear Farm Tires. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this very successfully for years at Farm Progress and Sunbelt Ag Expo, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see that the event went off without a hitch at our first year doing it in Nebraska.â&#x20AC;?

Tire auction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Starting at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 10, event-goers can place bids on a selection of Titan and Goodyear Farm tires for everything from skid steers and backhoes to implements, tractors and combines. The highest bids win the tires, and all proceeds go to the Nebraska FFA. Source: huskerharvestdays.com

In another test, the speed of rooting was compared in FRE-FLOTM conditioned water (shown in green) and untreated water as a control (in red). After 10 weeks none of the untreated plants had initiated roots, while a third of those growing in FRE-FLOTM conditioned water had started roots. After 12 weeks FRE-FLOTM produced 58% rooting, with only 8% in the untreated water.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Husker Harvest Days

September 4, 2014

Have Your Cattle Dog Trained Man's best friend can often also be man's best hired hand. Livestock producers are finding that incorporating working dogs into their operation can be an effective management practice. This often time unrecognized member of the ranch team is vitally important to keeping operations running smoothly and assisting with day-to-day tasks.

Again this year, visitors to Husker Harvest Days can bring their own dog to be worked by the members of the National Cattle Dog Association.

It's a great time to work with experienced handlers and continue your dog on the path to being an experienced working stock dog.

Stock dogs are used to move herds of livestock such as sheep or cattle, round up strays and assist in sorting out specific animals from the herd.

Stock dogs are bred with the natural instinct to gather herds and when trained, can assist their owner to efficiently handle both large and small animals.

"You can't build in the instinct, it's a natural instinct, a desire to work. It fascinates me how

cattle dogs handle the stock, the way they think and the way they work is pretty cool," says Tim Gifford, Gifford Border Collies.

Gifford, and members of the National Cattledog Association, will present demonstrations four times daily at Husker Harvest Days – 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.

Demonstrations will vary from young inexperienced dogs to seasoned older dogs to give visitors an idea of the training involved. There will also be time to work in dogs that visitors to Husker Harvest Days bring to the demonstration.

Gifford of Harrisburg, Nebraska has been working with stock dogs for over 10 years. He has been on the ranch all of his life. At present he runs a cow/calf herd and backgrounds calves. Tim uses the dogs extensively in the operation. He also travels the country attending competitions as well putting on working cattle dog clinics, demonstrations and lessons.

"I use my dogs to gather cattle, move cattle from pasture to pasture or sort cattle in an alleyway. I work alone a lot with my dogs," comments Gifford.

Heartland Automotive of Eudora, Kansas displays their truck lifts complete with a semi loaded.

Gifford and members of the NCA will touch on steps to train a dog, how to properly raise a puppy to make a successful ranch dog and how useful a working dog can be to their owners during the demonstrations.

Stock dog demonstrations will be located on the north side of Flag Row, just outside the exhibit field. If you bring your own dog to be worked during the demonstrations, it is important to remember that the dog must stay in the demonstration area and is not allowed on the Husker Harvest Days exhibit field.

Antique Equipment Demos Bring The Past To Life Just like the field demonstrations showcasing new combines, tillage tools, etc. the antique equipment field demos show what farm equipment was like when grandpa and greatgrandpa farmed. These demos have been a familiar highlight at Husker Harvest Days for decades. But you need to look in a new location at this year's show.

The antique exhibits will be located along Flag Road near the main entrance to the exhibit field from the parking lot between Gates 2 and 3. And there will be some changes and new things from what you've seen in previous years.

"Last year we had corn available for picking on the ear but that won't be the case this year," explains AJ Boehler, Hastings, who is in charge of the antique equipment area. However, he expects

to have ear corn on hand for antique shelling demonstrations.

Besides plowing demonstrations, Boehler also expects a larger number of "hit and miss" stationary engines to be demonstrated. "These are always popular and will be used to shell popcorn and grind feed, among other things."

Boehler is also excited about the new location for the antique equipment. "A lot of school children come to the show. Now when they walk in from the parking lot they will see what farm equipment used to be like before they get to the other end of the exhibit field and see the latest technology.

"Having the equipment actually running is a plus, too," he adds. "It really makes a difference in understanding the old equipment."

Boehler is a member of the Platte Valley Antique Tractor and Machinery Association and the Central Nebraska Antique Tractor and Machinery Association – both sponsors of the antique equipment demonstrations. He owns several restored tractors and a restored Ford pickup that he purchased new in 1975.

His goal is to continue to grow the antique equipment displays and demos at Husker Harvest Days to preserve the past for the future.

So, make sure to check out the antique equipment display and demos, which will be held each day at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Donate Food To Help Fight Local Hunger Visitors to this year's Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Nebraska, will have an opportunity to contribute to the fight against hunger for local Nebraska families. From Sept. 9-11, organizers will be accepting nonperishable food donations for the America's Farmers Food Drive.

Since 2009, this food drive has collected more than 100,000 pounds of food, providing enough nourishment for 83,000 meals. All of the food collected will be donated to local hunger organizations. The food drive is sponsored by Monsanto, in conjunction with Farm Progress Companies to benefit the Heartland United Way. "In order for children and families to thrive and do their best every day, they need reliable and nutritious food," says Karen Rathke, president of Heartland United Way in Grand Island. "There are 9,270 people in our four-county area that are completely food insecure, uncertain where their

next meal is coming from -- and almost half of those individuals are children. That's why our food pantries, shelters, backpack programs and places that serve community meals need food to support individuals and families."

How to get in free! FFA chapters and 4-H clubs have special incentives to participate in the food drive. Members from these two organizations will receive free admission with a donation of five nonperishable food items per student. The top three FFA chapters and top three 4-H clubs that bring in donations of more than 100 pounds of food will each be awarded $250 from Monsanto.

Donations will be accepted at the main bus entrance and main street flag entrance of the show.

"Students involved in FFA and 4-H are the future of agriculture," says Elizabeth Vancil, customer advocacy manager at Monsanto.

"Raising awareness about the reality of rural hunger helps students understand their role in feeding an ever growing population and builds educated and passionate leaders for the next generation."

Additionally, for every pound of food collected, Monsanto will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to the Heartland United Way. The Howard G. Buffett Foundation is also committed to matching that donation with $1 (up to $10,000) to Feeding America. Join this important cause and donate food at this year's Husker Harvest Days.
