Classifieds By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Agreements to fund studies for a Platte River wildlife habitat restoration project and a proposed reservoir, both near Elm Creek, were approved Tuesday by the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program Governance Committee. The Central Platte Natural Resources District has hired Olsson Associates of Grand Island to continue engineering studies on a proposed reservoir northwest of Elm Creek. Study topics include reservoir storage, possible landowner effects, the potential to pump groundwater into the reservoir, use of the
Dawson County Canal to deliver surface water and how best to divert water from the reservoir to the Platte River. Original studies were done several years ago after Elm Creek area residents sought the CPNRD's help to solve flooding problems along Elm and Turkey creeks. However, it was determined that a multipurpose reservoir also could be used to store water and retime releases to the river to help the NRD and Platte program meet required streamflow enhancements for habitat used by threatened and endangered birds. An agreement approved by the Governance Committee Tuesday in Kearney says Platte program funds

will reimburse the CPNRD for nearly all of the current studies' costs, up to $190,000. The studies should be finished late this year. CPNRD General Manager Ron Bishop of Grand Island said a public information meeting for Elm Creek-area residents then will be scheduled. Also being studied by program and Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District officials is another re-regulation reservoir on the south side of the river in northwest Phelps County. Its water could be transported in a CNPPID irrigation canal.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report Scattered frost/freeze conditions were reported across portions of the Panhandle on 9/7, but significant crop losses have not been reported. Severe thunderstorms rolled across portions of the state from 9/12-9/14, with significant crop/property losses reported around Mead, Ashland, Allen Dutcher Fairbury, and West Point. Hail ranged from 1-2 inches and wind gusts approached 80 mph with the thunderstorm that caused over 1.5 million dollars at the Mead research station. Corn is rapidly approaching maturity at most locations. According to the Nebraska Ag Statistics Service, 26 percent of the crop had reached maturity by 9/12, an increase of 15% from the previous week. With normal temperatures during the upcoming two week period, it is expected that a minimum of 75% of the corn crop will have reached maturity, a

full 2-3 weeks ahead of last years corn crop. Week One Forecast: 9/18-9/24: The upper air low responsible for precipitation across the central and northern Plains this past week will slowly migrate toward the Great Lakes. Another upper air low will slowly build into the western U.S. during the upcoming week. Pieces of energy from this trough are forecasted to lift toward the central Plains bringing almost daily chances for moisture. As the upper air low over the northern Plains shifts eastward, several waves of energy will rotate southeastward toward Nebraska and touch off scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms on 9/18 and 9/19. On 9/20, models forecast a piece of energy ejecting out of the western U.S. trough, bringing a chance of showers to eastern Nebraska as a warm front lifts northward from a developing surface low in west central Nebraska. By 9/21 the low will have moved east of the state and some early morning showers are possible along the trailing cold front. Another surface low will develop across eastern Colorado on 9/22 as another piece of energy moves toward the central Plains. A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are projected for eastern Nebraska on 9/22 and 9/23 as

the low slowly moves east-northeast. Models indicate a widespread moisture event for 9/24 as the low tracks through the state. Heavy rain could materialize from central through eastern Nebraska. Daily high temperatures will range from the low to mid 70's on 9/18, warming into the upper 70's to low 80's on 9/19, and low to mid 80's on 9/20. With the passage of a cold front on 9/20, highs will drop back into the 70's on 9/21, warming into the low80's on 9/22 and 9/23, with mid 80's possible on 9/24. Week Two Forecast: 9/25-10/1: The upper air low and attendant surface low will pass east of the state on 9/25, bringing an end to the precipitation during the first half of the day. Weather models indicate that a broad upper air ridge will slowly build into the central Plains through the remainder of the week, providing producers excellent harvest weather. Highs will range from the upper 60's to mid 70's on 9/25, cooling into the mid 60's to low 70's on 9/26. Temperatures will warm into the upper 70's to low 80's west to mid 70's east on 9/27. Highs will be primarily in the mid 80's during 9/28-9/30 period, cooling into the upper 70's to low 80's on 10/1.

Barley - An Old But New Food Susan Hansen, Extension Educator Colfax County According to the USDA My Pyramid & Dietary Guidelines, people should have at least six servings per day of grains. People are beginning to look at lesser known grains for some of those servings. One such grain is barley. Barley has been in America since the 1600's. The colonists grew the grain in New England. Barley production moved to the central plains in the mid-1800's, right along with the pioneers. Today, barley is grown primarily in the cold, dry north central and northwestern United States. Barley is grown throughout the world. In the United States, the majority of barley is grown for animal feed. Barley is also used in beer production. Because of the increase focus on human consumption of grain products, barley is being used more and more in today’s meals. Like other grains, barley must be cooked for liquid absorption. Using the conventional stove-top method, regular pearl barley requires about 45 to 60 minutes cooking time. To decrease the cooking time by half, use the microwave. Combine 3/4 cup regular pearl barley, 2 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 2-quart glass container. Cover and microwave on HIGH 6 to 8 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Stir with fork. Cover and continue to cook on HIGH for 15 to 18 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed and barley is tender. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes. Makes 3 cups barley. One-half cup of cooked barley contains 88 calo-
ries. It is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and B-vitamins. Barley has very little fat and because it is a plant product, it does not contain cholesterol. In its natural state, barley consists of a kernel that is enclosed in a tough hull. When the barley kernel is pearled, the hull is removed and the kernel is polished. One cup of raw pearl barley yields about 3½ cups cooked barley. A time saver is quick cooking pearl barley. This product has been steamed and dried prior to packaging. It requires only 10 to 12 minutes cooking time as opposed to the 45 minutes cooking time required by regular pearl barley. A flavorful way to serve barley is “Herbed Barley Pilaf”. It is similar to rice pilaf, only barley is used instead of rice. Herbed Barley Pilaf 3/4 cup pearl barley 2 cups water 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 chicken or beef bouillon cubes 1 tablespoon instant minced onion 1 tablespoon parsley flakes 1/2 teaspoon dry basil leaves 1/2 teaspoon dry oregano leaves 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Place all ingredients in medium-size saucepan. Bring to boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook 45 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid is absorbed. Makes 4 servings. To cut down on preparation time, assemble this pilaf mix in advance. Put in airtight container or ziplock plastic bag. Store in cool, dry place.
Dividing Peonies David Lott, Horticulture Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension North Platte, Nebraska Few spring blooming plants grab the attention of the public like peonies do. They grace many home and public landscapes with their large, frilly blooms. Many times, peonies are divided and brought into the landscape as a rememberence to honor a family member or friend. Requests come into the Extension Office wanting to know when and how to divide these wonderful plants so those memories can be shared in the future. Now is the perfect time to divide and plant peonies to add to another part of the landscape or share with others. Peonies have been a staple blooming perennial plant in landscapes here for years. They have adapted to our climate and soil conditions easily. They grow and thrive with very little care. Peonies can be found in full bloom on abandoned farmsteads and rural cemeteries found off the beaten path. No wonder they have been a versatile favorite in gardens for some many years. First, select a location for the new divisions to planted before digging up the peonies from their original location. The new location should provide at least six hours of direct sunlight to help promote vigorous growth and blooming. Count how many sets of newly divided plants will be put in the new bed. Allow enough space to avoid these plants from crowding. There should be 24 to 36 inches between each of the new plants. The new planting location should be dug to a depth of two feet to loosen the soil. Add in a two to three inch layer of compost of decayed manure into the planting area before planting the newly divided plants. Second, water the bed where the established peonies plants are currently growing for a few days before attempting to dig. Open up the soil to
a depth of eight inches all around the plant that will be divided. These steps will help loosen the soil, and hopefully reduce damage to the roots when the plant is dug up. After this is done, carefully dig up the plant out of the ground. Third, cut the plant foliage to a height of one inch above the plant buds with a clean knife. The buds are usually red or pink in color found at the base of the foliage. Rinse the soil from the roots with a gentle stream of water to expose the roots and the locations of the buds. Divide the main plant into sections with three to five healthy buds and corresponding roots with a clean, sharp knife or spade. Remove any diseased or damaged roots at this point. Fourth, transfer the plant divisions to the new planting area that has been prepared in advance. Lay the divisions out in the bed to ensure a space of 24 to 36 inches between plants before digging and planting the peonies in the ground. Peonies will need to be planted at a shallow depth to promote vigorous growth and blooming. Do not plant the buds more than one or two inches below the soil. Planting the divisions right below the surface will help avoid straggly growth and few, if any, blooms. Fifth, fill the soil back around the newly planted divisions thoroughly to avoid air pockets around the roots. Water the newly planted divisions thoroughly. Apply two to three inches of organic matter on the newly planted bed to retain moisture and winter protection. Do not fertilize peonies in the fall. This is done in the spring by applying one-half cup of 10-10-10 fertilizer around the crown of each plant, and incorporated in the soils six inches deep. If you have any questions about dividing and transplanting peonies, please contact me at dlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 532-2683, or by contact your local University of NebraskaLincoln Extension Office. Have a great week!

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts •
Halfway Home
by Lee Pitts
Statistics say that marriages where the husband goes on an annual trail drive are 20 times more apt to end in divorce. Okay, so I made that up. But I’m sure it’s true. It has come to my attention that men who go straight home after spending a week “trail driving” with their buddies where they drink, cuss and tell dirty stories, are having a difficult time reentering polite society. I know one trail driver who went straight from a week of such debauchery to a dinner party with the parents of his fiancé. Suffice it to say that the wedding has been called off and the fiancee's parents have a restraining order against the poor schmuck. I, myself, have never been on a trail drive. My friend Terrell invited me to go on one once but my wife, having heard what goes on at these things, wouldn’t let me go. Besides, as a writer I occasionally call upon my brain to function and I simply cannot risk the possibility of brain damage from spending an entire week trail driving while under the influence of my buddies. Because many of my friends do go on these things I have decided to start a new charity which will purchase a home to be used as a halfway house where trail riders can go after their trail drive so that they might gradually reacclimatize themselves to normal living. Just like recently released pedophiles, I realize that people are not going to welcome such people into their neighborhoods, so I’ll buy a ranch way out
in the country, with a ten thousand acre buffer zone, on which I might also run a few cows. I envision an active rehabilitation program where the cowboys will be retaught things they forgot how to do after spending a week with their fellow heathens. Lost skills such as shaving and bathing regularly, using indoor plumbing, changing their underwear and using a knife and fork will be taught by clean and sober ex-trail riders. I am told that on many trail drives the participants tell dirty stories endlessly, sing bawdy songs and recite cowboy poetry that would make a sailor blush. Therefore, intense therapy sessions on language skills will be emphasized at Lee’s Halfway House and Cattle Company, so that the trail drivers will get all the vile words out of their vocabulary before sitting down to dinner with momma and the young ones. Speaking of flushing things from their system, my halfway house will offer a sober living environment in which substance abusers will enter a detox program, gradually replacing half their expensive whiskey consumption with cheaper beer. Realizing that many of these men have been on a liquid diet for an entire week, we will reintroduce both solid food and manners back slowly so as to not shock their system. As we attempt to reintegrate our clients back into captivity, my staff and I will also address such problem areas as going outside to make water, riding one’s horse into
living and eating areas, harassing and roping wildlife, betting large sums on trivial occurrences, playing cards all night and fist fighting. In order to promote recovery and restore them to the men they once were, I recommend that for every week spent on a trail drive that each patient spend from one to six months in Lee’s Halfway House and Cattle Company. Because they might regress to their previous behavior, there will be a probationary period in which they will not be allowed to communicate with any trail driving buddies until next year. Still we must warn you, recidivism rates are high in dealing with this type of illness. Thousands of men need your help today, so please, give generously. We think the $10,000 weekly cost per person of our halfway house will be picked up by Obamacare but until that happens, I beg you, Save a Cowboy! Send your cash, old clothes or cows to Lee’s Halfway House and Cattle Company. After all, someday you too may have a husband, relative or friend who will be afflicted with this dreaded malady.

NDA to Facilitate USDA CostShare Monies for Nebraska's Certified Organic Industry The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) will receive funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to aid the state’s organic producers and processors with certification costs. “Each year Nebraska’s organic industry grows. We are pleased to be able to facilitate these monies to assist our producers in obtaining their organic certification,” said NDA Director Greg Ibach. “Nebraska producers will be able to utilize $85,000 from this program this year.” Authorized by the 2007 Farm Bill, the National Organic Program’s (NOP) CostShare Program is designed to assist producers and handlers of agriculture products in obtaining certification under the NOP guidelines. Those guidelines require certification and compliance with national standards in order to sell, label, or represent agricultural

products as organic. Producers and handlers can receive reimbursement for up to 75% of the costs of obtaining certification, with a maximum payment of $750. The actual costshare amount will be based on a percentage of the total the applicant paid for NOP certification. Applicants must have been certified or renewed their certification between October 1, 2009, and September 30, 2010, in order to be eligible for cost-share reimbursement. The funds will be reimbursed in the order applications are received, until the monies are exhausted, or until the eligibility period ends. All applications for reimbursement must be postmarked by October 15, 2010. To find out more about the program, Nebraska’s organic producers and handlers should call NDA at (402) 471-4876 or 800422-6692.
Conservation Reserve Program Sign-Up Benefits Producers, Protects Sensitive Habitat Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that USDA will accept 4.3 million acres offered by landowners under the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up. The selections preserve and enhance environmentally sensitive lands, including wetlands, while providing payments to property owners. “Interest in this open enrollment period was high, and I’m pleased that producers and landowners across the nation continue to realize the environmental benefits of enrolling land in the CRP,” said Secretary Vilsack. For this 39th general sign-up more than 50,000 offers were received on more than 4.8 million acres, nationwide. Enrollment of the 4.3 million acres will keep the program enrollment close to the 32 million acre statutory cap, which will maintain and enhance the significant environmental benefits the program has already achieved. CRP’s 39th signup will bring the total enrollment in the program to 31.2 million acres, leaving sufficient room under the 32 million acre cap to continue enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, continuous signup and other CRP initiatives through FY 2011. Under CRP, farmers and ranchers plant grasses and trees in crop fields and along streams or rivers. The plantings reduce soil and nutrients from washing into waterways, reduce soil erosion that may otherwise contribute to poor air and water quality, and pro-
For the third year, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is publishing county-level data on cash rental rates for agricultural land. The information, which is available online, includes average rental rates for non-irrigated cropland, irrigated cropland, and pastureland for the 2010 calendar year. “This data will provide an important decisionmaking tool for farmers, ranchers and other landowners,” said Dean Groskurth, Director of the NASS Nebraska Field Office. “In addition, USDA agencies will have these data available to help develop and administer important farm programs used by farmers and ranchers.” The 2010 county-level cash rental rates data are available online at www.nass.usda.gov through Quick Stats, NASS’s agricultural statistics database.

vide valuable habitat for wildlife. Plant cover established on the acreage accepted into the CRP will reduce nutrient and sediment runoff in our nation’s rivers and streams. The CRP has restored more than two million acres of wetlands and associated buffers and reduced soil erosion by more than 400 million tons per year. USDA selected offers for enrollment based on an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI) comprised of five environmental factors plus cost. The five environmental factors are: (1) wildlife enhancement, (2) water quality, (3) soil erosion, (4) enduring benefits, and (5) air quality. The minimal acceptable EBI level for this signup is 200. The average rental rate per acre for this signup is about $46. USDA implemented a number of measures including using additional EBI point incentives for producers to submit cost-effective offers, and producer outreach activities to encourage competitive offers on the most environmentally sensitive lands. These measures will maintain the high environmental benefits while decreasing the historic cost of the program. Under CRP, there are more than 31.3 million acres enrolled on more than 473,000 contracts. These 10 to 15 year contracts provide long term enduring conservation benefits in return for an annual rental payment.
Wind turbines generate “green” energy and can help reduce electricity bills. However, homeowners, farmers and businesses should ask themselves several questions before deciding if a wind turbine is right for them. First, people should look at their electricity load and see if there are any other areas where they can reduce their energy use. In the long term, taking simple steps to reduce the energy load can result in more savings than installing a small wind turbine. It is also important to make sure that the site is big enough for a turbine and there are no zoning laws that could restrict wind generators or tall buildings. After deciding that a turbine is an appropriate investment, people should determine which design and size of turbine will best suit their load. A new certification process for small wind turbines has been written by the Small Winds Certification Council based on the standards of the American Wind Energy Association. This new rating system has standardized measurements of output, making it easier for buyers to determine which turbines best fit their needs. It is important to question manufacturers about the installation, capabilities and testing results of turbines. Wind turbine installers should also be questioned about their experience, turbine maintenance and total costs of installation. For a complete list of questions to ask before installing a small wind turbine, visit the "Questions to Ask When Considering a Small Wind Turbine" NebGuide at http://www.ianrpubs.unl.edu/epublic /live/g2022/build/g2022.pd.

Building Nebraska’s Relationship with Japan By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031
On September 12 and 13, I will be leading a delegation from Nebraska to the 42nd Annual Midwest U.S. Japan Association Conference in Detroit. The delegation will be made up of Nebraska business and economic development representatives who are interested in developing or expanding trade and investment opportunities in Japan. The conference, Powering the Future: Transformation and Growth Strategies, will feature Japanese and U.S. business experts and economic specialists. The annual meeting typically attracts approximately 300 top industry and government officials, including internationally-known speakers from the United States and Japan. Comprised of ten member states, including Nebraska, the Midwest U.S. - Japan Association is focused on increasing awareness of how Japan's markets and resources can showcase the Midwest as America’s most dynamic and inviting business

environment. The association is dedicated to educating Japan about direct foreign investment opportunities in Midwest states. A growing segment of Nebraska’s economy consists of international trade and investment. International trade generates in excess of 56,000 jobs in the state and more than $6 billion in new money each year. More than 300 companies in Nebraska are foreign-owned with total employment approaching 20,000 workers. Approximately 30 percent of Nebraska’s small businesses export which is well above the national eight to nine percent average. Nebraska and Japan enjoy a strong relationship. In 2009, Nebraska exported $416 million worth of goods to Japan, up 4.5 percent from 2008, demonstrating that even during the most challenging of economic times, the partnership between Nebraska and Japan remains strong. We are honored to have more than 30 Japanese-
owned businesses located in our state. Our oldest and most recognizable investment is the Kawasaki Motor Manufacturing plant in Lincoln, which has more than 30 years of success in Nebraska. This facility is just one symbol of what has been a mutually beneficial relationship between Japan and the State of Nebraska. The State of Nebraska opened the Nebraska Center in Tokyo in 2006. This office has been very successful at developing new opportunities with Japan and is headed by Koji Nagasaka. He will be attending the Midwest U.S.-Japan Association meeting along with a delegation of Japanese business leaders. They will also attend the annual Passport to Nebraska Weekend in Lincoln on September 10 and 11. I look forward to this year’s conference and our continuing efforts to expand the relationship with Japan to grow our economy and create more jobs in Nebraska.
The Health Care Law’s Job-Killing Tax Mandate by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335
Our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and small businesses could have a pile of paperwork in their near future, thanks to – of all things – the government takeover of health care. The new health care law signed by President Obama requires farmers, ranchers, and small businesses to file a Form 1099 with the Internal Revenue Service for every vendor or contractor from which they purchase $600 or more in goods or services in a calendar year. In other words, when a farmer or rancher spends $600 on feed corn, seeds, fertilizer, fuel, equipment, or nearly every other expense, they will have to research and prepare a 1099 form for each and every vendor. When a shop owner pays the rent, a 1099 form will need to be sent to the landlord and then onto the IRS. A plumber who pays for lunch once a week for his employees will need to send a 1099 form to the restaurant, while at the same time receiving a 1099 form from nearly every business client. This provision was added to the health care bill without any debate or chance for the public to weigh-in on its costs to our nation’s small businesses, farmers, and ranchers. In addition to the hours and hours simply spent

tracking down all of this information, business owners may have to purchase new software or pay for additional accounting services. Even then, this new requirement could lead to thousands of innocent mistakes resulting in penalties on the very industries which we need to help for our economy to recover. The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) has stated this provision will have a “direct negative impact on small businesses” which lack in-house accountants and which already pay 66 percent more on tax compliance than large corporations. The NFIB also pointed out the “1099 reporting will cost more in compliance than it will generate in revenue.” The 1099-nightmare not only will create an administrative burden for our nation’s family farms, but also will unnecessarily increase the risk of identity theft due to the increased exchange of personal identification. Each of the 1099 forms will contain personal information about the vendor – including social security information, payment processing information, Taxpayer Information Number, or other information which could easily be used to steal a
Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207
business owner’s identity. Those who know how easily a person’s identity can be stolen because of a lost credit card should shudder at the thought of the billions of these forms being sent back and forth across the country. It’s important we repeal this harmful provision before it begins creating economic havoc. This is why I am a cosponsor of the Small Business Paperwork Mandate Elimination Act (H.R. 5141). This bill would repeal the new 1099 requirement and provide relief for producers already burdened by the heavy hand of government. It’s a very similar bill to one being championed in the Senate by Sen. Mike Johanns and is just one step we can take to get our economy moving again. Congress has the responsibility to find ways to get Americans back to work, stabilize our economy, and put our fiscal house in order. With nearly 10 percent unemployment, our nation’s agriculture producers and small businesses already have enough headaches. Instead of forcing job creators to track down tax forms and put their personal information at risk, we need to be enacting policies which help them create jobs.
A State of Wind by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725
Nebraska is one of the windiest places in the country. I was reminded of that in August while traveling around the state, not only by the wind which blew at every stop, but in meetings with fellow Nebraskans who are working on plans to turn the wind into energy. It’s an issue dear to my heart because it involves clean energy and the economy as it creates the new generation of green collar workers. Big Wind Potential One group I met with during a swing through the Panhandle provided figures showing the big wind potential for their county. Those figures showed that the grand total for 1000 megawatts would produce an economic benefit of $1.1 billion. New local jobs during construction would amount to 3.298. New local long term jobs would total 451. It’s no wonder that local groups around the state are pursuing ways to harness the wind just as major utilities are. There is plenty of room for improvement. While Nebraska ranks 4th for potential wind energy development, we currently rank 24th in actual energy generated by wind.

Stimulating Jobs Those promoting wind energy recognize that in order to realize our potential it will require some help from the federal government. This is one of the big benefits from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which I helped shape to be good for our state. The American Wind Energy Association says that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus bill, has saved about 40,000 jobs in America, many by providing financing for wind projects that had faced uncertainty after the near collapse of our economy in 2008. Also, the stimulus bill has provided $3.4 billion in grants for 100 smart grid projects that will promote advanced transformers and load management devices that are crucial for getting more wind energy onto our nation’s energy grid. To expand that grid, last year, I introduced the SMART Energy Act which helps build the national electricity grid that I call an interstate Energy Superhighway to enable energy generated by wind turbines on the Nebraska prairie to get to the big
Washington Office 720 Hart Senate Office Building United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6551 Fax: (202) 228-0012
cities on the coast. This summer I also co sponsored legislation aimed at helping Nebraska rural electrics and public power districts to obtain needed financing to help build new renewable energy projects. It would be paid for by expanding a section in the stimulus bill that would enable Nebraska’s consumer-owned utilities to receive grants to help cover the cost of renewable energy projects. Currently, the grants would only apply to utilities that are owned by private investors. So that the provision would not add to the deficit, it would be paid for by closing a tax loophole that exists today for big oil companies. Wind Energy is Good for America As long as Nebraskans are of a state of mind to turn our state of wind into an energy generating state I will continue looking for ways to take our message to Congress so it can become a reality. Taking advantage of the prairie winds is not only good for Nebraska; it is in the best interests of all Americans.

Heartland Express - Hunting

Hunting Safety For serious hunters who love and are dedicated to the sport of hunting, it is imperative that we teach our children well and carry hunting safety into the next generation. The rules apply whether one hunts with a gun or a bow. Here are a few basic rules that should be implemented ALL the time: Treat your disarmed gun or bow with the same respect that you would with a loaded bow or gun. ALWAYS assume that your gun or bow is loaded and ready to shoot. NEVER, EVER point your gun or bow at anyone when unloaded. Always point your weapon in a safe direction. Keep your safety on until ready to shoot.
1 2 3 4 5
Do not become anxious and take your safety off of your weapon prior to the shot. That is why the safety is located usually within an inch of the trigger. ALWAYS keep your target IN FRONT of you. That is crucial. Clearly identify your target before you shoot. Every year individuals are shot because they are mistaken for a deer. In all my years of hunting, I still cannot fathom how this occurs. Even 30 minutes before sunrise, one should clearly see their target before shooting. Once again emotions get in the way and inappropriate shots are taken.
6 7
8 9
Always unload your firearm; never climb into a tree stand, climb over a fence, in or over a duck blind with a loaded weapon. Know the range of your weapon. Know how far it will shoot. Know what loads you have in the chamber. Know how accurate you are with a bow and how far that your bow will shoot. Know what is behind your target. Keep your emotions in check. Use GOOD judgment. No animal, no deer, whether it is a pintail drake, large rooster pheasant climbing out of a morning’s cornfield, or a 10 to 12-point buck is worth an accident. It is when these gifts of nature occur and our emotions rise that mistakes happen. Ear safety: Many hunters will sacrifice ear safety so they can hear game coming, especially when deer hunting. Put a soft earplug in the ear closest to your weapon. I personally have decreased hearing now in my right ear because this is one area I neglected over time. All of our senses are precious and we must take care of them as best as possible. Always keep your gun clean. When you unload your gun, if it is a pump, I usually make sure 2-3 ejections after the 3 shells come out that there is nothing in the chamber. I leave the chamber open. The same for automatics. Check and see if your barrel is free of any debris. Over the years, a mouse may find its way into your gun case. It can tear up some

of the cotton, and cotton may be stuck in the barrel. If you shoot, you’ll have a split barrel. The shrapnel could come back in your face, causing eye injuries and severe facial lacerations. Even a little bit of snow at the end of your barrel can cause a severe injury. When you drop your gun, you should always dismantle it, clean it, wipe it down, and put it back together. As with any piece of equipment, a clean weapon is a functional weapon. This holds true with bows, as well. Check them before use to make sure they are in good working order. All parts of the bow should be tightened and in correct position, usually accomplished with an Allen wrench, prior to hunting.

Corn trade has been higher this week following the supportive USDA Supply and Demand Report last Friday. The weekly net change is 17 higher on both the December and March contracts. Demand items continue to inch higher and the supply side is slowly deteriorating keeping the bulls in control. The USDA September Supply and Demand numbers were seen last Friday. The USDA 2010 US Corn Production estimate was reduced to 13.160 billion versus the average trade guess of 13.199 billion. The yield was reduced to 162.5 bushels per acre. The new crop carryover estimate was at 1.116 billion versus the average trade guess of 1.125. The old crop carryover was 26 million less than expected at 1.386. The world ending stocks were reduced to 135.5 million tons which was down 4 from last month. The USDA also released initial CRP acre expectations this week. They expect 4.3 million new acres to enter the program which almost completely offsets the 4.45 million that will expire this month, but the recent rise in prices may pull some of those acres into production and away from the CRP. On the weekly report, mature corn was listed at 52% versus the 32% 5-year average. Harvest was listed at 11% complete versus the 6% 5-year average. The crop ratings were down 1% at 68% good to excellent which was expected. The weekly export sales were a little low at 584,200 tons, which may help give us a downside correction near term. We still seem to have the ability to stretch up further into the $5 area. July 2011 futures did nearly reach $5.20, so we have moved into a target area, so more active up and down trade should start to occur rather than just up, like we have seen for nearly a month now.

Wheat trade has been mixed this week due to a combination of chart buying and light profit taking by market longs. The weekly net changes are 10 lower on the Chicago contract, KC is steady, and Minneapolis is up a penny. The KC and Minneapolis markets have gained on Chicago. This may continue, but some dryer soft red winter wheat areas may help support Chicago if moisture is not seen as we move through the row crop harvest. The world needs to import more quality milling wheat; this is supporting KC and Minneapolis. The USDA wheat numbers was neutral last Friday; the global 2010-11 carryover was up to 177.8 million tons versus 174.8 on the August report. The US domestic carryover was reduced to 902 million bushels versus 952 million last month. The 201011 export number was increased by 50 million bushels to 1.25 billion bushels which was up from 881 million last year. The export numbers for wheat and corn may still come up a little, but for now the USDA has good sizeable numbers in the balance sheets. The weekly export sales were only 484,600 tons which likely will have wheat challenging the lower part of our recent range over the next several sessions unless some fresh export news is reported. On the weekly report, spring wheat harvest was listed as 83% complete 67% a year ago and the 91% 5-year average. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and spillover support from the corn market. The weekly net change is 11 higher on November beans, October meal is up $3.30 and oil is up 25 points. The USDA Supply and Demand report was negative for beans last week, but we sold off into the report and spillover support from corn limited downside. As a review, the new USDA 2010 US Production number came in at 3.483 billion versus the 3.4 billion average trade guess. The yield estimate was raised to 44.7 bushels per acre which was noted for the increased production estimate. The new crop carryover was down 10 million from last month at 350 million but this was 46 million greater than expected. The world carryover was just over 1 million tons lower at 63.61 million tons, which remains a historically big number. The crop progress had 38% of the beans dropping leaves versus the 30% 5-year average and only 16% a year ago. The crop conditions were 1% worse at 63% good to excellent which was in line with expectations. The soybean weekly export sales were okay at 668,600 tons. Combined meal sales were low at 65 thousand tons and bean oil sales were again huge coming in just over 130,000 tons of combined new and old crop sales. The NOPA August crush was reported at 122.4 million bushels this week which was inline with expectations, but still up from 112.6 million last year. Soy oil stocks were inline with expectations at 2.818 billion pounds and meal stocks were lightly higher than last month. Soybean prices need to hold at current levels or go higher to compete for 2011 acreage, but in the near term, harvest pressure could push the trade back to the $10 area. Hedgers call with questions.

6th Annual
October 1 & 2, 2010 Midtown Holiday Inn 2503 S. Locust St., Grand Island, NE Quilts From Across Nebraska Vendors • Displays For more information call: LeAnne Killion (308) 440-8867 • llkillion@gmail.com Threads Across Nebraska, which is sponsored by the Nebraska State Quilt Guild, will be held October 1 and 2 at the Grand Island Midtown Holiday Inn, 2503 S Locust St. Threads Across Nebraska is a quilt show with various vendors set up throughout the display area. We will have the “Legacy Quilt” which is nearly 14’ square. It is the quilt used in the final act of the play “Quilters” at the Omaha Community Playhouse. Peg Pennell designed the quilt and enlisted her quilting friends to help complete it. Lynn Greer’s miniature doll beds and quilts will also be displayed. Can you imagine a doll bed that is ½” x 1” with a quilt on it? The biggest of the doll beds will be 12” x 18” and the rest of them fall under this size. Another feature of Threads Across Nebraska will be Quilts of Valor. Quilts of Valor is a national organization of volunteers creating heirloom quality quilts for those wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is a tangible way to say “Thank you for your service, sac-
rifice and valor” for our country. To date more than 28,000 quilts have been awarded. For more information visit www.qovf.org. There will be two 1930’s quilt tops given away via a Silent Auction. One is entitled “Fans” a 86” x 102” hand pieced quilt top. Each fan has six rays, with a gold color predominant. It is stained in one place. “Cloth of Gold” is stamped on the selvage of the gold fabric, which was manufactured from 1920-1939. The top entitled “Hour Glass” is a 76” x 82” machine pieced quilt top, made of scrappy fabrics. These tops are classic 1930’s quilt tops that are in great shape and are very collectible. Quilt and textile appraisals will be offered Saturday only at Threads from 9am to 4pm. Jan Sears, AQS Certified Appraiser of Quilted Textiles offers written appraisals for insurance purposes as well as consultation on age and history of antique quilts.

Make sure the paper side of the web is on the top. Use a pencil to trace each of the pattern pieces separately. Leave at least 1/4” between the drawn pieces. Dotted lines mean a piece has over lapped it. Trace the whole piece including the area with the dotted lines. Numbering your pieces may help. Cut out pieces leaving 1/8” around the outside. Check the information from the manufacturer for the temperature setting and time length on iron. Place your cut fusible on the wrong side of the fabric selections. Press Cool. Cut out on the drawn line. Fuse on the Pumpkin Remember the pattern is reversed. I place my pattern backwards over a light source, so I can see the correct placement of pieces. The bottom of the pumpkin is sewn into the seam allowance. Follow diagram for sewing on the borders. Press.

IQSC Exhibition Childhood Treasures: Doll Quilts from the Ghormley Collection. Childhood Treasures will introduce audience members to the special charm of doll quilts and discuss their role in individual lives as well as in a greater cultural context. Mary Ghormley's collection, donated to the IQSC, contains more than 300 quilts made between 1800 and 1950. Collected over a fortyyear period from all over the United States, the collection is one of only a few such quilt collections in the world. Doll quilts are the smallest, yet some of the most endearing of quilts. When made by mothers for a young daughter's playtime, they embody love and care. When made by young girls as they learned to sew, they represent the first efforts in one of an eighteenth and nineteenth century woman's life-long responsibilities to her home and family - namely the sewing of all of the household textiles and family clothing.
Mary Ghormley is a founding member of the Lincoln Quilters Guild and was a leader in the Nebraska Quilt Project, which documented the rich quilting heritage of Nebraska and resulted in publication of the book Nebraska Quilts and Quiltmakers. Merikay Waldvogel has written the book Childhood Treasures, which contains beautiful images of many of these quilts and tells the story of how Mary collected them over the years.

Relationship Between Cow Weight, Milk Production, and Nutrient Needs Dr. Rick Rasby, Professor of Animal Science University of Nebraska - Lincoln, Lincoln, NE Calf prices appear to be strong this fall. Because of high input costs, margin of profit for the cow/calf producer will again be narrow. Producers that continue to match genetics (mature weight and level of milk production) with feed resources, environment, and management system will be the ones that continue to enhance their profit potential. If moderation is your goal in terms of cow weight and milk production, it may be an increasing challenge to find the genetics to meet this goal. Breed sire summaries indicate that the genetic trends for growth traits, carcass weight, and milk production have increased over the years. It is hard to see how milk production and mature weight of commercial cow herds has not continue increased over time. In addition, it hard to see how nutrient needs of the commercial cow herd haven’t increased over time as well. McMurray (Feedstuffs article, 2008) suggested that average cow weight had increased 322 pounds between 1975 and 2005. McMurray indicates that average cow weight (weight for cows at body condition score 5) in 2005 was 1,369 pounds compared to 1,047 pounds in 1975. Maintenance feed intake is proportional to the animal’s metabolic body weight. Metabolic body weight is defined as body weight to the 3/4
power (body weight3/4) which also describes the surface area and is representative of the active tissue mass or metabolic mass of an animal. So as cow weight increases, maintenance feed intake increases because metabolic body weight increases. Cows partition energy that they consume to body maintenance and growth, then lactation, and finally reproduction. In a low feed environment, cows with a high production potential would have limited energy left over for reproduction because they would shunt energy to maintenance and lactation and finally reproduction. In contrast, cows with low production potential (described as lower mature weight and daily milk production) in a low feed environment in theory would be able to shunt energy to body maintenance, lactation, and reproduction. A solution to increase energy intake for high producing cows in a low feed environment on a fixed resource base would be to reduce cow numbers (cow inventory). In a high feed environment, low production potential cows have enough energy to partition to maintenance, lactation, reproduction, and will likely put on condition. In this low feed environment and a fixed resource base, to limit energy intake of low production potential cow so they don’t get over-conditioned would be to increase cow numbers. If cow mature weight were fixed at 1,200 pounds and milk production varied from 10
pounds/day to 30 pounds/day, annual maintenance energy needs increase. As milk output per day increases from 10 to 20 pounds/day, annual maintenance energy needs increase by 8% (7,815 Mcal per year compared to 8,427 Mcal per year). The increase in annual maintenance energy of a 1,200 pound mature cow producing 10 pounds of milk daily is 16% less than the same cow producing 30 pounds of milk daily. If milk output per day is fixed at 10 pounds per day and cow mature weight changes from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds or 1,400 pounds, annual maintenance energy needs increase 14% going from a 1,000 pound cow (6,803 Mcals annually) to a 1,200 pound cow (7,728 Mcals annually). Likewise, maintenance energy needs increase 27% between a 1,000 pound cow compared to a 1,400 pound cow (8,637 Mcals annually). If a ranch unit has a fixed set of resources, the effect of mature cow weight and daily milk production can be used to determine the number of cows at the same milk output with cows differing in mature weight that could be managed on the unit. If par was annual maintenance needs in Mcals for cows with a mature weight of 1,200 pounds and daily milk production was 20 pounds, we could calculate the number of 1,400 pound cows producing 20 pounds of milk daily on a fixed resource base. Likewise, using similar information, we could calculate the number of 1,000 pound cows producing 20 lb of milk daily that could be managed on the same set of resources. If 100 head of 1,200 pound cows producing 20 pounds of milk daily could be managed on a fixed resource base, using the annual maintenance energy needs, about 90 head of 1,400 pounds cows producing 20 pounds of milk daily or 112 head of 1,000 pound cows could be managed on the same fixed resource base. If cows in each weight group had a weaning rate of 85%, 85 Continued on page 19

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due to short covering. The weekly net change is $2 higher on the October contract and December is up $1.97. New highs for the move were seen yesterday, so greater short covering may occur before the week is out. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the upcoming Hogs and Pigs report; traders are holding a lot of profit in the deferred contracts and they may want to reduce their risk ahead of this report which could lead to long liquidation. Seasonally, traders expect weakness this time of year due to increased hog numbers and tonnage. Hogs are averaging 1.4 pounds heavier versus last week, and are only .8 pounds lighter versus last year. Sow slaughter continues to decline sharply which suggests we may be heading for bigger numbers by next summer or fall. Hedgers call with questions.

Several large strings of yearling feeders, off of native Nebraska pasture came to town this week. Most were in average flesh for this time of year. Few, offerings of spring calves in the mix again this week, most had their booster vaccinations. Slaughter steers and heifers in Nebraska sold from 97.00-97.50 on a live basis with dressed sales ranging from 152.00-154.00. Feedlot managers have started to prepare for the "fall run" by getting pens in shape and filling their "pits" with large quantities of corn silage or high moisture corn. Steers comprised of 95 percent of the run, heifers were at 46 percent. Offerings over 600 lbs were at 94 percent this week.

Live cattle trade has been higher this week due to short covering and chart buying. The weekly net change is $.97 higher on the October contract and December is up $.80. Fund buying seems to have resurfaced this week which should limit downside near term, but position squaring ahead of the Cattle on Feed Report could keep trade active. Light cash trade was reported on Wednesday at $154 in the South, but the bulk of feedlot managers are holding out for steady money at $100/$157. The Cutout finished lower on Wednesday with choice down $.69 at $158.28 and select was down $.60 at $151.43. On the December chart, resistance is up at $101.90 and
important support is down at $98.30-65. There continues to be a lot of optimism around but our concern is that it's priced-in with futures now over $100/cwt for 2011. The average trade guess for total cattle on Feed is 101% versus 102% last month. Total placements are expected to come in at 94% versus 99% a month ago and marketings are expected at 105% versus 98% last month. Hedgers call with questions.

Nebraska Pork Producers – Doing It Right With Free Training September 30th , Hartington October 5th ,Grand Island The Nebraska Pork Producers Board of Directors feels very strongly that continuing education is an important step to show consumers that the industry is taking actions to be socially responsible and to show their strong support for the ethical principles set for U.S. Pork Producers by the National Pork Board and National Pork Producers Council. Nebraska now has over 6300 producers and employees certified in the PQA Plus (Pork Quality Assurance Plus) and/or the TQA (Transport Quality Assurance) programs. The Nebraska Pork Producers Association in cooperation with the Nebraska Soybean Board will be hosting two FREE Animal Handling Training Seminars. Guest speaker for the programs will be Mark Klassen, Animal Handling/Welfare Specialist with Elanco. The one hour program will cover in detail topics that will help swine transporters, producers and handlers understand the science behind fatigued animals and provide tips and tricks on how to handle, move and transport pigs and the potential impacts of those actions on profits, pig well-being and pork quality. Operation managers and everyone who handles, transports pigs, or sets protocols for handling pigs should attend.

STUDIES OF ELM CREEK AREA PROJECTS GET PLATTE PROGRAM FUNDING Continued from page 1 The 430-acre field is near the Plum Creek Massacre site, which raises historic preservation issues. Platte Program Executive Director Jerry Kenny of Kearney said every project site is studied for any history, environmental and/or economic feasibility issues. "With every property and project, we thoroughly explore these issues," he said. "We don't take this lightly." The "Elm Creek complex" project to clear trees and invasive weeds choking the river channel east of the Highway 183 bridge already has undergone environmental studies and a review by the Nebraska State Historical Society's State Historic Preservation Office, according to Kenny's staff. Director of Technical Services Jason Farnsworth and Director of Natural Resources Chad Smith said the program owns about 500 acres on either side of the river that extend into the channel. The project area runs about one mile east from the Highway 183 bridge to Nebraska Public Power District's Kearney Canal diversion and then another two miles east. NPPD and private landowners along the route have granted access for the project contractor. Farnsworth said the work also will include disking sandbars and building up islands as nesting sites for least terns and piping plovers. The project is out for bids now, and the contract will run from Oct. 1, 2010-May 2011. That portion of the river will be affected by future habitat-related tests to add sediment to the channel and create temporarily higher streamflows. An NPPD-program agreement approved Tuesday addresses NPPD officials' con-
cerns about possible negative effects on the Kearney Canal and hydro. The Platte program will pay the costs for NPPD to monitor canal effects and for water quality testing by an outside contractor. The estimated first-year costs, including equipment, are around $82,000. The agreement says the monitoring will be reevaluated after three years. Also Tuesday, Wyoming officials reported that they've hired a contractor for the $3 million "three-brick project" at Pathfinder Reservoir on the North Platte River southwest of Casper. The current reservoir capacity of about 1 million acre feet will be increased behind the 101-year-old dam. Mike Besson, deputy director of the Dams and Reservoirs Division for Wyoming's Water Development Commission, told the Hub that 2.39 feet in height will be added to Pathfinder's spillway wall, which also will be extended on the north end. "We're gonna start this fall - the end of this week, actually," he said, with the contractor moving equipment to the site. The completion date of April 2012 would be sooner, Besson said, if not for the expectation of continued high water levels in the reservoir and Platte Basin. Kenny said much of Pathfinder's additional water will be used to enhance flows down the North Platte River as Wyoming's share of the program's water plan. Part is earmarked for future municipal water needs, he said, but Platte Program may be able to lease that portion in the meantime. Governance Committee members discussed possible lease terms at the Kearney meeting, which continued this morning.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COW WEIGHT, MILK PRODUCTION, AND NUTRIENT NEEDS Continued from page 12 calves, 77 calves, and 95 calves would be weaned from cows that weighed 1,200, 1,400, and 1,000 pounds respectively. This is only part of the profit equation. Profit of an enterprise is a complex set of relationships. Net income or profit is gross income dollars generated minus total annual expenses. Gross income in a cow/calf enterprise is pounds of calf sold times price ($/cwt). Pounds of calf sold is a function of weaning weight and the number of cows weaning a calf. Nutrition impacts both of those factors. Breed differences allow producers to design genetic packages that best fits the feed resources of the operation. In turn, this should increase the profit potential of the enterprise. The next question is what is the difference in costs as cow mature weight and daily milk production are varied. You’ve got over half the battle whipped when you have a genetic package of your cow herd fitting the resources they are to be managed in, especially feed resources. If the genetic trends continue in the direction they have been, how do producers maintain the genetic package that they have worked so hard to fit their resources and environment? The focus of the article isn’t to say light mature weight cows are better than heavy cows and high milk output is less desirable than low milk output. The idea is to help you keep your eye on the target of what genetics package fits your environment and to remind you of the major items that impact of the nutrient needs of your cow herd.

UNL and the Nebraska Department of Education Partner to hire the new State Supervisor of Agricultural Education Matt Kreifels, Director Nebraska Agricultural Education University of Nebraska—Lincoln & the Nebraska Dept. of Education After a two-year vacancy, Nebraska now has a new State Supervisor of Agricultural Education. In tough budget times, the University of Nebraska—Lincoln and the Nebraska Department of Education have created a combined position that will meet the needs of Nebraska Agricultural Youth. In July, Matt Kreifels started in the position that combines duties from both entities. "This is a creative way to handle these positions," said Mark Balschweid, head of UNL's Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communications, in which Kreifels' UNL position will reside. "This is the first time anything like this has been
done at UNL or the department of education ... We're pretty excited about this." For the last nine years, Kreifels, a 2001 graduate and alum of the university’s ALEC department, has taught agricultural science at Blair High School, in Blair, NE. Kreifels will fulfill a broad spectrum of responsibilities as the new State Supervisor, “I spend my time in four ways: supporting current schools and teachers with agricultural programs, helping to train future agricultural teachers, facilitate development of new curriculum and professional development, and help to start new agricultural education programs in Nebraska.” Agricultural Education prepares students in 139 Nebraska schools for successful careers and a lifetime of informed choices in the global agriculture, food, and natural resources systems.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE - - NEBRASKA FFA FOUNDATION It's the most amazing thing. And it happens almost every time I'm at an event, a luncheon or a meeting. When I tell people what I do, someone in the group says: "Hey, I was in FFA!" And they start to tell their story. They reconnect. And, as they speak, they realize just how much FFA meant to them when they were younger-and how their FFA experience shaped their lives. Yes, the Nebraska FFA Foundation is about raising money. But it's first about reconnecting with past members-and with those who have had a relationship with FFA as a parent, a teacher, a volunteer, a business or a neighbor. Once that connection is established, the importance and value of FFA begins to again shine through-and giving to the Nebraska FFA Foundation grows in importance as well. I personally invite you to share your memories of FFA with us-and I hope those memories will encourage you to consider a tax-deductible gift to the Nebraska FFA Foundation.

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.
