By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Animal agriculture in Nebraska is a more than $7 billion industry that supports thousands of jobs. But a group of agricultural organizations believes the livestock industry is threatened by outside groups, such as the Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. These organizations have formed We Support Agriculture (WSA) to educate Nebraskans about modern agricultural practices and to defend against attacks and misinformation about modern technology used to raise livestock. WSA was announced on Tuesday at Husker Harvest Days. Pete McClymont, vice president of government affairs for the Nebraska Cattlemen, is WSA president. He said Nebraska's farmers and ranchers are "caring people who know how to care for their animals properly."
"They go to great lengths to protect their animals from disease, predators and harsh Nebraska climate while feeding their neighbors and the world." But they now have a new predator to contend with, McClymont said, in the form of increased activity across the country by "extreme animal rights groups who have an agenda to make Americans eat less food originating from animals " such as meat, eggs and dairy." He said these groups want to institute "hostile regulations that will increase the price of food and make them much more difficult to produce." According to WSA, "This negatively affects consumers by inflating the cost of food and limiting the availability of nutritious food choices for their families." WSA said its goal is to "defend agriculture against this extreme agenda." With agriculture more than a $17 billion industry in Nebraska,

McClymont said it's a vital part of the state's economy. Nebraska is the nation's commercial red meat producer, with thousands of jobs, such as in Grand Island, dependent on the state's slaughterhouses and animalprocessing businesses. "When we saw what was happening nationally with some of the animal rights activism that was going on and saw states get into a position that they didn't want to be, that was motivation for us to get out ahead of this," McClymont said. The group began organizing last October, but McClymont said the various organizations have been talking about it for about three years. "These organizations (Humane Society of the United States, etc.) have created more regulation and put more burden on producers in restricting beef and hog production," he said. "But the reality of it, it's

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report A hard freeze event materialized across the northern Plains and upper midwest during the 9/14-9/16 period as Arctic air surged southward on the heels of a northwesterly upper air flow. An expansive area of <28 F lows hit North Dakota, the northern two-thirds of Allen Dutcher Minnesota, and northern half of Wisconsin. Frost (29-32 F) and scattered hard freeze conditions developed across eastern South Dakota, northeastern Nebraska, northern Iowa, and southern Wisconsin. Damage was likely for late planted corn and soybeans, with soybeans likely taking the brunt of the freeze punishment.

As is typical after a major freeze event, strong high pressure is forecasted to build into the central U.S. and bring Indian summer conditions for much of the next two weeks. This should help speed crops toward maturity and provide excellent harvest weather for crops already at maturity. Week One Forecast, 9/17 - 9/23: The best opportunity for moisture during this 14-day forecast period will occur from 9/17-9/18 as the western U.S. upper air ridge attempts to displace the air mass responsible for freezing conditions toward the east coast. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible across the state on 9/17, with eastern Nebraska under the gun on 9/18. Another trough of low pressure in the upper atmosphere will move from the Pacific Northwest toward the Great Lakes region during the 9/199/20 time frame. Nebraska will lie on the southern periphery of this trough and isolated showers are possible across northeastern Nebraska on 9/20. Models indicate that the
eastern 1/4 of the state may see a brief shower on 9/22, but confidence is low that the event will materialize. Dry conditions are likely for the remainder of the period. High Temperatures: 9/17 (70 NE - 80 SW), 9/18 (72 N - 78 S), 9/19 (73 NE 80 SW), 9/20 (73 NW - 80 S), 9/21 (76 NE - 83 SW), 9/22 (80 NE - 88 SW), 9/23 (85 E - 91 W). Week Two Forecast, 9/24 - 9/30: A massive area of high pressure will dominate much of the lower 48 states during this period according to recent model runs. The only precipitation chances currently forecasted are for 9/28 over the western half of the state and probabilities currently stand at less than 20 percent. Well above normal temperatures and low relative humidity levels will promote rapid dry down of mature crops and will rapidly speed up maturity of crops that are still growing. High Temperatures: 9/24-9/26 (8792 statewide), 9/27 (83 E - 89 W), 9/28 (75 W - 81 E), 9/29-9/30 (77 E - 86 W).
Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending September 11, 2011, crops were turning fall colors during a mostly dry week with below normal temperatures, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Producers were beginning to pick up pipe as irrigation was ending. Corn silage, high moisture corn, and seed corn harvests picked up momentum. Dry bean and proso millet harvests are underway in the west. Almost a quarter of the winter wheat crop was seeded. Flooded land that neighbored rivers has begun to reappear.

Lows were recorded in the 40’s but dipped into the upper 30’s in isolated locations. Only small amounts of rain were recorded in the extreme southwest and western Panhandle counties. The majority of the state received no precipitation. Field Crops Report: Corn condition rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 17 fair, 57 good, and 19 excellent, below 83 percent good to excellent last year but near 74 average.

Alfalfa rated 0 percent very poor, 4 poor, 18 fair, 65 good, and 13 excellent, below 80 percent good to excellent last year but well above 64 average. Third cutting of alfalfa was at 95 percent, near 96 last year and average. The fourth cutting of alfalfa was at 33 percent, behind 41 last year but ahead of 30 average. Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 1 percent very poor, 6 poor, 23 fair, 61 good, and 9 excellent, below last year’s 77 percent good to excellent but above 56 average.

Cereal has become a standard breakfast for many of us. If chosen well, it can be a valuable contributor to a healthy diet. Check the nutrient content and ingredients on the label to be sure you are getting the best cereal to meet your nutritional needs. Cereal can contribute fiber to the diet. Fiber is helpful in preventing constipation. It also may reduce the risk of colon cancer as well as reduce your cholesterol level. Not all cereals provide the same amount of fiber. Some cereals contain very little fiber. Cereal manufacturers add sugar in several forms. Look for fructose, sucrose, corn syrup and honey. These are all forms of sugar. Sugar provides simple carbohydrates but no other nutrients. Some cereals have as much as 2 to 4 teaspoons of sugar per serving. If you prefer a sweet taste, top the unsweetened cereal with

fresh fruit or a small amount of sugar. If you add the sugar, you have control over how much to add. Pre-sweetened cereals do not allow that option. Most cereals are very low in fat. The exception is granola. While most commercial granolas do contain nutritious ingredients such as raisins or oatmeal, a one-fourth cup serving generally contains as much fat as one teaspoon of margarine. Make your own granola to control the amount of fat. If you are on a diet limited to sodium, check the labels. Sodium in cereal is probably not a problem for most people. Check the serving size on the label. Serving sizes vary, depending on the type of cereal. Cereals composed of flakes usually have a larger serving size (3/4 cup to 1 cup). Dense cereals have smaller serving sizes (1/4 cup). The common denominator among cereals is the weight, not the volume.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • I’m No Hottie by Lee Pitts
The coldest I’ve ever been in my life was in Aberdeen, South Dakota, when the wind chill was minus 35 degrees. I can’t tell you what it felt like because I’d lost all feeling once we got into negative numbers. But I still preferred that to hot weather because you can always put on more clothes, but when it gets unbearably hot there’s only so much you can take off before breaking indecent exposure statutes. I’m touched that there have been so many good articles written this summer about how to care for the cows when it gets hot. But what about the cowboys? One article I read said that the comfort zone for cattle was between 41 and 77 degrees. This, of course, compares favorably with my personal comfort zone which ranges between 68 and 69 degrees. I admit I have no heat resistance, and you can call me a wimp, but be advised I know what it is to be hot. I’ve lived and worked in hot spots like Australia, New Mexico and the oilfields of Torrey Canyon where the thermometer routinely registered 120 degrees inside the compressor plant where I spent the three worst months of my life! Usually you go indoors to cool off, but in this case when we couldn’t stand it any longer and we needed to cool off, we went outside where it was only 105 degrees! At night we roustabouts would go to the grocery store and stand in front of the frozen foods section and apply frozen bags of peas as cold compresses.
I read that when temperatures get over 91 degrees it can stunt cattle’s growth, efficiency and reproductive performance. I can say with certainty that after a day in that compressor plant my reproductive performance was certainly the last thing on my mind! And we certainly weren’t very efficient. We’d venture into the plant to tighten a big bolt one revolution before escaping outside again. On some days, especially if we had a good card game going on in the air conditioned doghouse, it could take all day to sufficiently tighten one bolt. In one of my job’s I had to visit feedlots in California’s Imperial Valley where, in the words of the immortal Mark Twain, “It got hot enough to melt a brass doorknob.” (And that’s paraphrasing politely.) You couldn’t cool off by going swimming in a motel pool because the water was hot enough to slip the hair on a hog. A motel sauna would have been redundant! Everyone got up and did their work early when it was only 114 degrees in the shade. Except there wasn’t any shade! I remember I showed up one time to interview an El Centro feedlot manager and he had the good sense to send his Spanish speaking maintenance man in his place. The place looked like a ghost town. Death Valley holds the record in the U.S. for the hottest day when it reached 134 degrees. I think it was the day I was there! I know I left a layer of skin there on the black leather upholstery when I got out of
the car, and I swear the few bushes I saw were begging the dogs to provide some relief. It has to be the worst place in the world to lose one’s keys but that’s what I did, and when I finally found them in the dust of Death Valley they left a lasting reminder in the form of a burn scar on my hand. The most miserable I’ve ever been was once in south Texas where I went to work a Brahman dispersion. The heat and humidity had exceeded even the long-ear’s ability to dissipate it. I’ve lived through months of days when the temperature was higher, after all, it was only 98. The problem was that was the percent humidity too! I’d have asked to have someone hose me off with a garden hose but I was already dripping wet. As part of the sale crew my problems were only compounded when a supplement salesman handed out “Texas Air Conditioners” to all the buyers and bidders in attendance. Perhaps they did provide some form of relief, and sold some supplement as they were intended to do, but the worst thing you can possibly do at a cattle auction is hand out fans to a bunch of panting and gasping-for-breath bidders. Or, judging by the record cattle prices that day, perhaps it was the best thing you could ever do!

Corn trade has been lower this week due to long liquidation. Speculative traders were overexposed at historical price levels following the neutral USDA report on Monday and have felt the need to lighten positions this week. The weekly net change is 12 lower on the December contract and March is down 11, but frost scares for the latter part of this week are expected to limit additional selling interest. Supply side concerns have been the driving fundamental force over the last several months and updated yield projections should continue to direct trade. The USDA projected the yield at 148.1 bushels per acre versus expectations of 148.8. Production was listed at 12.497 billion bushels versus the average trade guess of 12.505. This is still up form the 12.447 billion bushel crop in 2010. The world carryover rose to 117.39 million tons versus expectations of 112.52, which was the most negative aspect of the corn report. The new crop domestic carryover was projected at 672 million bushels versus expectations of 636 million bushels. The evidence on the report of declining usage due to higher prices should reinforce our recent highs as strong overhead resistance. The weekly crop progress report on Monday listed the crop as 84% dented versus the 82% 5-year average. The crop ratings were improved 1% to 52% good to excellent. The weekly export sales were better than expected at 1.127 million tons for the 11/12 year and 41,100 tons for the 12/13 year.
Wheat trade has been mixed this week due to inter market spreading. The weekly net change is 17 lower on the September Chicago contract, KC is up 5, and Minneapolis is up 11. The National Australian Bank issued updated production estimates this week at 21.8 million tons which was down from their previous estimate of 24 million tons. This compares to the current government estimate of 26.1 million tons. Germany’s Agriculture Ministry also lowered winter wheat production estimates to 22.6 million tons which was down 3.7% versus year ago levels. The production declines in Australia and Germany were offset at midweek by the announcement from the Russian Ag Minister that harvest there is nearly 55% complete with average yields reported at 2.6 million tons per hectare, up from 2.04 million tons last year. Global production estimates will continue to show neutral variation overall which should promote range bound trade. The weekly export sales were below expectations with 369,200 tons reported. On the weekly progress report, spring wheat harvest was listed at 50% complete versus the 71% 5-year average. Spring wheat conditions slipped 1% to 61% good to excellent. Spillover from the row crops should continue to dictate trade near-term.
Soybean trade has been lower this week following the negative USDA report. The weekly net change is 44 lower on the November contract and January is down 43. The USDA estimated the soybean yield at 41.8 bushels per acre which was up .4 from the August number. The total crop size was projected at 3.085 billion versus the average trade guess of 3.025 billion. The new crop carryover came in at 165 million versus the 152 million bushel average trade guess. World carryover was nearly 2 million tons greater than expected at 117.39 million tons. The August NOPA crush was reported at 118.77 million bushels which was 4.2 million lower than the previous month. On the weekly report, Good to excellent ratings were steady at 56% good to excellent. The crop progress report had 15% of the crop dropping leaves versus the 27% average. The weekly export sales were disappointing at a total of only 351,900 tons. Meal sales were 37,300 tons of old crop and 160,300 tons of new crop. Oil sales came in at 1,600 tons of old crop. Meal sales exceeded expectations while oil sales were toward the low end of expectations.

The solution to grow our economy lies in creating an environment where Americans see more opportunity through job creation, not through an expansion of government’s reach. For more than two centuries, American workers and innovators have been the engine of an economy envied around the world because they had the ability to create, invent, hire, and expand without a looming uncertainty of the government’s role in their business. On September 8, President Obama addressed a joint session of Congress to share his ideas for job creation and economic growth. It is disappointing much of his proposal promotes stimulus-like policies and spending, which evidence shows will not work. Since the trillion-dollar stimulus package was enacted in 2009, America has seen a net loss of 1.7 million jobs from the economy and failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent as the Administration promised. Doubling-down on another stimulus plan will drive us further into debt without creating jobs. While I do not agree with the President’s plan to throw more government money at the situation, now is the time to focus on areas where we do agree and can build consensus for bipartisan solutions to get our economy moving again. In the remaining months of the year, the U.S. House of Representatives plans to vigorously pursue commonsense policies, which the President also

Nebraskans are among the most patriotic Americans I’ve ever meet. We always remember meaningful days in history. September 11, 2001 is one such day. It marks that terrible moment in history when America came under attack and 3,000 innocent people were killed in an attack by terrorists. This year the anniversary has added significance because it marks the tenth anniversary. As I prepare to speak at one of the tributes I wanted to share some of my thoughts with Nebraskans statewide. First Responders Each time I see first responders these days it makes me remember watching as first responders answered the call the morning of September 11th, 2001 and the pride I felt, followed by anguish as they gave their lives trying to save others. While we must never forget those we lost, we must do more than remember them. We must remain vigilant in order to prevent new attacks and new victims.

President Obama's speech to Congress and the American people last Thursday was a great opportunity to lay out a serious way forward for our economy. Among those listening with a keen ear for certainty and details were our businesses hamstrung by a mountain of costly regulations, along with our ag producers hoping for new markets overseas. What they got instead was another empty campaign speech, filled with lofty words but little substance. At a time when our country needed him to lead with real solutions, the President let us down. I've talked with many business owners trying to expand and hire new workers, and they share the same problem – regulatory overreach from the Obama Administration is keeping them stuck in neutral. The question is not whether we should have some oversight over workplace safety and the environment – of course we should. It's just that we need to be smart about it, guided by scientific evidence and good old fashioned common sense. There's simply no doubt this enormous regulatory expansion is throwing a wet blanket over job

creators and keeping hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work. Ask your local business owners and they will tell you the same thing. The President not only squandered an opportunity to rein in this overreach, he demanded it move forward. I've introduced three bills to freeze or eliminate these regulations, and I'm hopeful they'll gain bipartisan support in Congress. He also mentioned the three trade agreements we've signed with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. These agreements will not only create thousands of jobs but will expand market access for our beef, wheat, and other ag producers. I'm ready to vote for them and have been ever since I arrived in Congress. Yet I can't vote on a trade agreement that hasn't been submitted to Congress, and the President is the only one who can submit them. They've been sitting on his desk since the day he took office, and for him to continue instructing Congress to pass them before he actually submits them is exasperating and severely disappointing.

Relieving regulatory burdens and passing trade agreements are two bipartisan, proven solutions that could provide an immediate economic boost. With presidential action, we could accomplish both in a week. Instead, he insisted again last week on throwing more money we don't have at a problem that's already been unresponsive to deficit spending. The stimulus left us with 9 percent unemployment and an extra $1 trillion in debt. Now he wants another $450 billion in spending, but has offered no specifics for how, or if, it would be paid. The President is leading us in the wrong direction. I reject the idea that more government spending is the answer. I will continue my push to have the trade agreements submitted to Congress. I will continue to work with my colleagues to pass bills to halt the federal regulatory overreach. And I'll continue to stand for small government, small businesses, and a guiding principle in which the American people, not its government, determine our economic future.

Most Tri-Basin Groundwater Levels on the Rise
Wheat: Recapping 2011 & Selecting Seed for the 2012 Crop
By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub
Noel Mues, Extension Educator University of NE-Lincoln, Extension, Furnas County
HOLDREGE - Two areas on opposite ends of the Tri-Basin Natural Resources District with groundwater declines in the past decade saw opposite results from spring 2010 to spring 2011 measurements. A report to the Tri-Basin directors Tuesday showed that for the first time in eight years, groundwater levels in Gosper County's Union Township were above the 1981-1985 baseline. Tri-Basin General Manager John Thorburn said farmers there have been limited the past three years to a total of 27 inches of irrigation water per acre. This is the third year of allocations. He was directed by his board to schedule a Gosper County meeting to review the data with Union Township residents. The board may decide on Oct. 18 whether to continue the irrigation allocations. Favorable weather in the past two years has meant less groundwater pumping. "But I really have to give the farmers credit," Thorburn said, for reducing pumping each year and for other water conservation measures. Meanwhile, in the southeast corner of Kearney County, spring-to-spring measurements showed continuing groundwater declines. Thorburn said it was the only part of the NRD, which covers all of Gosper, Phelps and Kearney counties, that registered declines. Overall, TriBasin groundwater levels rose an average of 0.89 of an inch. Declines have been seen for nearly a decade in southeast Kearney County. Thorburn said May Township readings now are 4.5 feet below the 19811985 baseline, and Grant Township is down 2.5 feet. It's in that area where Tri-Basin officials are proposing to build a reservoir on Sand Creek, a tributary of the Little Blue River, north of Highway 74. The goal of the 100- to 140-acre reservoir would be to hold water that could then seep into the ground to recharge the aquifer. Other water could come from Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District customers on
the far end of the Phelps Canal. After heavy rains, some excess water could be pumped back into the canal and put into Sand Creek. During a Tri-Basin board tour of the proposed site in August, Thorburn had called that "an intriguing possibility." Permits will be required from the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Money for reservoir design and land acquisition was included in the fiscal year 2012 budget approved by the Tri-Basin board in August. The levy to raise the property taxes required for that budget was set Tuesday at 3.6 cents per $100 valuation. Thorburn said that's a decline from 3.8 cents for FY2011. The property taxes required are unchanged, at $989,508 including county treasurers' fees. The levy dropped because property values increased. Also Tuesday, the board reviewed a letter from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers responding to TriBasin's request for a public hearing on a permit sought by the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program for a sediment augmentation study. Thorburn said at the board's July meeting that the plan is to put tons of sand in the Platte River at Overton as a pilot project. Tri-Basin officials requested a public hearing on the plan. Thorburn told the Hub that the corps letter simply lists Platte program officials' responses to Tri-Basin questions raised in seeking the hearing. "We're just not really convinced that this is a useful project," he said, or that there is enough public awareness of the plan. Tri-Basin officials will pursue their public hearing request. Thorburn said he was directed to seek advice from the district's legal counsel on how to move forward. The board moved its next regular meeting from Oct. 11 to Oct. 18, primarily to deal with subdistrict boundary changes that must be made by Nov. 8. The meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at the Tri-Basin office in Holdrege.
A dry late summer and early fall in 2010 resulted in many uneven wheat stands throughout much of western Nebraska and some areas of eastern Nebraska. Many growers went into the winter with low expectations for the 2011 harvest. Ample spring rains, some may say excessive rains, turned the moisture situation around throughout the state. However, with the moisture came problems with residue-borne fungal diseases such as tan spot, Septoria tritici blotch, and Fusarium head blight. Severe drought conditions to our south limited movement of leaf and stripe rust spores into the state, which could have been disastrous had the spores arrived during our wet weather. Hail was the other unwanted scourge that rode in on the coattails of our above average rainfall. Those fields missed by hail and disease issues, performed very well indeed. Average rainfed yields across the state generally were between 50 and 60 bu/ac, but ranged widely from 0 to more than 70 bu/ac. Test weights were generally good, but grain protein levels were generally lower than normal, typically falling between 9% and 12%. The Furnas County wheat variety plot was located northwest of Arapahoe on land farmed by Scott Haussler. The chem-fallow plot was planted into corn stalks and featured 49 varieties/hybrids. The average yield for the plot was 50.3 bushels per acre. Tam 111 had the highest yield at 61.6 bushels per acre. Lower yields in this plot can be attributed to almost 40% hail damage. The Red Willow County plot averaged 76.5 bushels per acre and an experimental variety, Continued on page 12

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry
Government Oversight Hearing Calls Out Job-Killing GIPSA Rule WASHINGTON - The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform today hosted a hearing called “How A Broken Process Leads To Flawed Regulations.” Representing the livestock industry was Robbie LeValley, co-owner, Homestead Meats and member of the board of directors for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA). She told the committee about the potential impact of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) proposed livestock marketing regulation – the GIPSA rule (Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration would oversee the rule). Specifically, LeValley denounced big government invading the private marketplace. “Value-based marketing has given our family business the opportunity to compete for market share at the highest level,” said LeValley, a third generation Colorado cattlewoman who sells beef directly to consumers. “We do not need big government setting up shop on our farms and ranches. Government intrusion into the private marketplace is not the answer.” She told the committee that USDA did not conduct a cost/benefit analysis before proposing the rule. NCBA, the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) and other groups commissioned an independent analysis by Informa Economics, which concluded the rule would result in the loss of more than 23,000 jobs and reduce the annual gross domestic product by $1.6 billion. Chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee Congressman Darrell Issa (RCalif.) said LeValley’s testimony revealed how the
NEW AG GROUP AIMS TO PROTECT AGRICULTURE Continued from page 1
proposed GIPSA rule could dismantle the food production and supply markets. He said LeValley’s testimony also called attention to the overall cost of this proposed rule. “Government regulators set the rules, but working Americans and job creators pay the price for their implementation. GIPSA’s proposed rule change under the Packers and Stockyards Act is a blatant attempt to regulate livestock marketing practices that could literally dismantle the food production and supply markets as we know them,” said Chairman Issa. “This would mean higher prices and fewer options for consumers, as well as impacts on food producers and firms at every point in the supply chain. GIPSA’s rule was pursued with a woefully inadequate economic impact analysis. Today’s hearing has called attention to this key issue and points out the price paid by producers, distributors and consumers.” NPPC President Doug Wolf said Chairman Issa’s hearing again reinforced that the rulemaking process at USDA was flawed in the case of the proposed GIPSA rule. Wolf said livestock producers and consumers have the most to lose if the rule is implemented. “Chairman Issa’s hearing shows, as we have continually pointed out, that the rulemaking process for the GIPSA rule was flawed and that this major regulation is bad for farmers and ranchers, bad for consumers and bad for rural America,” said Wolf. “It will raise producers’ costs, increase meat prices and kill jobs.” LeValley urged the committee to help stop the proposed rule from being finalized.

about choices, which is fine, but don't tell us what to do and how to do it." At the news conference at Husker Harvest Days, Nebraska Farm Bureau's Jay Rempke said WSA wants to build a broad coalition to "stand behind Nebraska's farmers and ranchers and basically protect our way of life and the state's economy." Rempke said they want to be prepared for any assault animal rights groups may make. "We want to be ready to activate at any time when any extreme animal rights group comes to Nebraska and tries to enact new laws or regulations that would be detrimental to consumers in Nebraska, Nebraska's economy and our farmers and ranchers," Rempke said. He said WSA's main goal is to share with Nebraskans the "real agenda of these extreme animal rights groups and what they seek to try to do and how they oppose hunting and oppose rodeos and a whole host of other uses of animals in today's society." Rempke said the goals of groups such as the Humane Society of the United States, Animal Legal Defense Fund and PETA are to "eliminate animal agriculture through restricting certain practices by raising the cost of food to consumers, and consumers will quit buying those products that we produce, and ultimately farmers and ranchers will lose their businesses."

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due to profit taking by market shorts and spillover support from cattle. The weekly net change is $1.20 higher on the October contract and December is up $.27. Cash trade is called steady to $.50 higher for the remainder of the week due to reports of short-bought packers. The chart managed to avoid a sell signal early this week after closing above the 20-day moving average. On Wednesday, the chart moved above the 100-day moving average at $88.07 which prompted a test of the 50-day at $89.30. A move above this level could pick up buy stops and encourage volatile trade to the upside.

Live cattle trade has been higher this week due to short covering and chart buying. The weekly net change is $2.55 higher on the October contract and December is up $2.65. Upward cash momentum developed late last week and has persisted this week. Cash trade is called steady to $2 higher for the remainder of the week. Asking prices are firm at $120 live and $190 dressed. Market bears argue that the higher cash trade over the last week has priced in friendly items, but supportive cutout trade could still encourage aggressive buying from packers. The cutout finished mixed on Wednesday with choice up
$.40 at $173.54 and select was down $.47 at $173.54. Rumors developed at midweek suggesting that imports of Mexican feeder cattle were sharply higher last month. If true, the August placement number could be significantly larger than expected which would encourage new selling interest. On the chart, the October contract moved above the August high of $121.07 which could encourage continued chart buying near-term.

WHEAT: RECAPPING 2011... Continued from page 9 NE03490, had the highest yield at 90.2 bushels per acre. Selecting Seed for Disease Resistance – While it is seldom wise to base next year’s production plans solely on this year’s results, wheat growers who saw a lot of disease issues may want to consider selecting wheat varieties with good resistance to the diseases of greatest interest. If plant emergence was a problem because of deep seeding to try and get seed in contact with moist soil, growers may wish to consider wheat varieties with a long coleoptile. Compare Wheat Variety Traits 24/7 on the Virtual Wheat Tour – Whatever the coming season has in store, one of the most critical decisions a wheat grower will make is the choice of wheat varieties. One of the resources to use in making this decision is the Wheat Varieties Virtual Tour. http://cropwatch .unl.edu/web/wheat/virtual Wheat growers can see a list of wheat varieties recommended for their part of the state, read about a variety’s characteristics, and compare those characteristics to other varieties of interest. Growers also can see how different varieties performed in nearby wheat variety trials and locate a certified seed dealer who carries the varieties they are most interested in buying. Wheat variety recommendations are based on three-year average yield data and specialists’ experience with the varieties in their regions of the state. Given the highly variable climate of Nebraska, we do not advise that growers make variety selections based on just one or two years of test results. The Wheat Varieties Virtual Tour site is updated each year in early August with the results from the latest statewide variety testing program. This ensures that growers have access to the most current information on winter wheat varieties when making their seed purchases. Selecting adapted and complimentary varieties is one of the most important decisions a wheat grower will make for this season. Source: Cropwatch – Drew Lyon, UNL Extension Dryland Crops Specialist

Ten Commandments of Shooting Safety 1. Always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Do not point a firearm or bow at anything you do not intend to shoot. Control the direction of the muzzle at all times. Never rest a muzzle on your toe or foot. Keep your finger out of the trigger guard until the instant you are ready to fire. Always keep the safety on until ready to fire; however, the safety should never be a substitute for safe firearm handling. 2. Trust every firearm or bow with the same respect you would show a loaded gun or nocked arrow. Every time you pick up a firearm, the first thing you do is check to see if it is loaded. Be sure the chamber and magazine are empty and that the action is open until ready to be fired. If you do not understand how to determine if it is loaded, do not accept the firearm until someone has safely shown you that it is unloaded. Read your instruction manual carefully before you handle new firearms or bows. 3. Be sure of your target and what is in front of and beyond your target. Before you pull the trigger you must properly identify game animals. Until your target is fully visible and in good light, do not even raise your scope to see it. Use binoculars! Know what is in front of and behind your target. Determine that you have a safe backstop or background. Since you do not know what is on the other side, never take a shot at any animals on top of ridges or hillsides. Know how far bullets, arrows and pellets can travel. Never shoot at flat, hard surfaces, such as water, rocks or steel because of ricochets. 4. Unload firearms and unstring conventional bows when not in use. Leave actions open, and store sporting arms in cases when traveling toand from shooting areas. Take bolts out or break down shotguns if necessary. Know how your equipment operates. Store and transport firearms and ammunition separately and under lock and key. Store firearms and bows in cool, dry places. Use gun or trigger locks and guards when not in use. 5. Handle the firearms, arrows and ammunition carefully. Avoid horseplay with firearms. Never climb a fence, a tree or a ladder with a loaded firearm or bow and arrows. Never jump a ditch or cross difficult terrain with a loaded firearm or nocked arrow. Never face or look down the barrel from the muzzle end. Be sure the only ammunition you carry correctly matches the gauge or caliber you are shooting. Always carry arrows in a protected cover or quiver. Learn the proper carries. Try to use the two-hand carry whenever possible because it affords you the best muzzle control. Always carry handguns with hammers over an empty chamber or cylinder. If you fall, be sure to disassemble the gun and check the barrel from the breech end for obstructions. Carry a field cleaning kit.
6. Know your safe zone-of-fire and stick to it. Your safe zone-of-fire is that area or direction in which you can safely fire a shot. It is "down range" at a shooting facility. In the field it is that mental image you draw in your mind with every step you take. Be sure you know where your companions are at all times. Never swing your gun or bow out of your safe zone-of-fire. Know the safe carries when there are persons to your sides, in front of, or behind you. If in doubt, never take a shot. When hunting, wear daylight fluorescent orange so you can be seen from a distance or in heavy cover. 7. Control your emotions when it comes to safety. If you lose control of your emotions you may do something carelessly. If you have just shot a target or animal you probably will be excited. At that moment you may turn with a loaded firearm back towards your friends or you might run with a loaded firearm towards a downed animal with the gun safety off. You or someone else may be in danger once you lose control of your emotions. Show discipline. Rehearse in your mind what the safe actions will be. Do not allow your daydreams to prelace good judment. Show restraint and pass up shots which have the slightest chance of being unsafe. 8. Wear hearing and eye protection. While shooting at the range, you must wear hearing and eye protection at all times. Firearms are loud and can create noises which are damaging to a person's hearing. It can be a gradual loss of hearing due to outbursts of noise over many years. The damage could also be immediate, especially if your ears are next to a muzzle blast. Vibrations from the blast are enough to create loss of hearing. Wear glasses to protect your eyes from escaping gases, burnt powder (especially in blackpowder shooting), and other debris. 9. Don't drink alcohol or take drugs before or while handling firearms or bow and arrows. Alcohol and drugs impair normal physical and mental body functions and mustn't be used before or while handling firearms or archery equipment. These substances affect emotions, making it easier to lose control. 10. Be aware of additional circumstances which require added caution or safety awareness. Just because something isn't listed under these "ten commandments of shooting safety" doesn't mean you can ignore it if it is dangerous. There may be rules such as in muzzleloading or archery or posted at a shooting range which should also be followed. Also, practice reloading safety by following and reading all specific instructions. Practice all commandments of shooting safety. Ensure a safe future for you, others and the shooting sports! Source: www.gamecalls.net

F FA C r e e d
I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years. I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.

I Believe in the Future of Ag Campaign Launches with $87,000 Challenge Grant (Lincoln, Neb.) – Sixteen corporate sponsors have created the largest challenge grant for the Nebraska FFA Foundation’s annual I Believe in the Future of Ag campaign to date. Agriculture and FFA supporters and local FFA chapters across the state are challenged to match the $87,000 challenge grant by donating funds to their local chapter at local sponsoring co-ops, the Nebraska FFA Foundation’s website or obtaining a donation card from their local FFA chapter members. “The I Believe in the Future of Ag campaign allows for a very unique way to support not only your local FFA chapters, but FFA across the state of Nebraska.” Kent Thompson, Nebraska FFA Foundation Board President says. “Resources
collected will have a direct impact on our number one priority—young people in agriculture.” The funds raised from the I Believe in the Future of Ag campaign will be split between the local chapters and the Nebraska FFA Foundation. At the local level, the funds will support local FFA chapters with leadership programming, community service activities and other innovative projects that promote agriculture. The other funds, at the state level, will be used to support statewide programs, grow the capacity of FFA chapters— both current and potential new chapters—and ensure leadership for the organization into the future.
The local campaign will launch November 1, 2011 and run through January 31, 2012. To participate, contact your local sponsoring co-op representative or go to www.neffafoundation.org For more information about the campaign, contact Stacey Agnew, Nebraska FFA Foundation Executive Director, at 402-472-5846 or stacey@neffafoundation.org. The mission of the Nebraska FFA Foundation is to enhance quality agricultural education/FFA programs in order to achieve excellence in leadership development, curriculum innovation and scholastic advancement of students.
FFA-Integrating the Three Essential Components Classroom Instruction A student's experience in agricultural education starts in the classroom. Students can expect classes to be based on career opportunities within Nebraska's leading industry. Often billed as 'hands on' courses, today's agricultural class prepares students for both career and college opportunities. Teachers work hard to ensure their students are the beneficiaries of experiences that can only happen at the intersection of academics and real life. Most schools with an agricultural education program provide experiences for their students with mechanics labs, greenhouses, aquaculture/aquaponics labs, land plots, large and small animal facilities, and throughout the community by use of field trips and guest speakers. Certified teachers with an endorsement in Agricultural Education engage their students in over 19 available courses based on the identified career pathways within the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resource Career Cluster.
Leadership Instruction (FFA) Instruction in leadership has been a cornerstone of agricultural education for over 80 years. As mechanization of agricultural processes enabled other industries to be born, fewer Americans were involved with the production and processing of food. The Future Farmers of America organization was established in 1928 in order to enable those involved with production agriculture to have a voice amongst a shrinking employment base with the goals of educating consumers disconnected from the industry and to affect policy. Today, the FFA has shed its acronym and is known as the National FFA Organization in response to the number of agricultural careers that are non-farm related. With a redefined agricultural industry in resurgence (and as one of the only industries with a trade surplus), FFA membership is at an all-time high at over 500,000 members nationally. Nebraska membership is over 6,500, and is the largest Career Student Organization in the state.
Experiential Learning (SAE) True learning occurs in more places than just the classroom. When students apply knowledge by their own choice, in their lives (oftentimes away from school), they transfer their learning into experience which oftentimes leads to a successful career. A student's Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) is a formal way to gain that experience under supervision of their agricultural teacher. Student SAEs can consist of placement (employment/volunteer) opportunities, entrepreneurial ventures, personal research/agriscience projects or be of an exploratory nature. Students document their projects through an electronic portfolio known as the SAE Record Book. In this, they track their personal goals, skills attained, and financial records for their business and personal lives. Instruction within the classroom and at visitations from the teacher enable students to make wise decisions for themselves year-round and in to their future careers and lives.
