New corn planting technique gets attention By Mark Coddington Grand Island Independent
Hundreds of spectators gathered at Husker Harvest Days' corn harvesting demonstration on Tuesday, watching and discussing each new combine as it made its pass down the show's demo field. But while the combines were getting most of the announcer's and viewers' attention, something else was new, too: The way the corn was planted. Tuesday's demonstration was the first in Husker Harvest Days' history to feature twin-row planting, a growing style intended to allow farmers to increase the amount of seed they plant without overpopulating a field. The technique involves planting corn in sets of two rows only about 7 or 8 inches apart, as opposed to the standard 30-inch distance. Each set of twin rows is separated by a space of about 22 inches. Roger Luebbe, Husker Harvest Days' operations manager, planted 200 of the show's 600 corn acres in twin-row style, with the rest in standard single-row style. He said Tuesday's demonstration is intended to give observers a glimpse into how standard combines perform with twin-row corn. "You line everything up side by side, and everybody can make up their own minds," Luebbe said. Luebbe said he's seen no adverse effects on standard combines when harvesting twin-row corn. He's putting his own corn on the line, too, planting 600 acres of twin-row corn on his own farms in Hall and Howard counties. Luebbe said twin-row planting works particularly well on dry-land or pivot-irrigation fields, and with no-till practices, too. "You've about got to throw your cultivator away," Luebbe said, laughing. Luebbe said twin-row planting is beginning to catch on elsewhere in the country where those practices are

more common, but he's seen a little bit more of it around Nebraska over the past couple of years. Tom Evans, vice president of sales and marketing for Great Plains Manufacturing of Salina, Kan., said his company has at least doubled its sales of twin-row planters in each of the past four years. He said leading seed companies have made recent statements about the ability for yield sizes to explode in the coming years, provided that seed populations are able to increase drastically, too.
That's where twin-row planting comes in. Evans said it has been shown to allow much higher seed population without showing the effects of overpopulation, because the staggered planting style allows the corn more room to use light and water more efficiently. "By giving it that much more space, it just turns the plant loose," Evans said. Though the combines were the main attraction at Tuesday's demo, some in the crowd were mainly there to check out the twin-row style.
Tim Lance, who farms near Maryville, Mo., said he was impressed with the yield of a twinrow test plot he planted about five or six years ago. He hoped to find someone Tuesday to ease his concerns about twin-row's potential long-term effects on standard combines. But as a dry-land farmer with hilly fields, Lance said he's always looking for new techniques, and he finds twin-row planting an attractive option. Continued on page 5

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
FARMERS & RANCHERS:
Al Dutcher Report Crops continue to remain behind normal and forecasts now indicate a significant cold air intrusion will impact portions of the corn belt during the upcoming forecast period. Weather models indicate that the September 24-28 period has the greatest likelihood of producing freezing conditions across the northern plains and central Allen Dutcher corn belt. If models are correct widespread frost and freeze conditions will impact the Dakota’s, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Iowa, and northern Illinois the mornings of September 26 and 27. Freezing conditions are possible on September 24, 25, and 28th across the Canadian border region of the northern Plains and Great Lakes. At present, north central and northeast Nebraska stand the best chances of seeing frost during the September 26-27 time frame. Week One Forecast, 9/19-9/25: Dry and warm conditions are expected during the 9/19-9/20 period as high pressure dominates the central Plains, Highs will be in the upper 70's northeast to mid 80's southwest. An upper level low pressure system will slide southward from the western Dakota’s on 9/21. Showers and thunderstorms are likely across the western 2/3 of Nebraska with highs in the 50's northwest to low 70's southeast. The rain will spread to eastern Nebraska during the overnight hours and throughout much of 9/22. Highs will be 50's northwest to mid 60's southeast. The upper air low is projected to slide southwest into Colorado on 9/23 with isolated showers possible across western Nebraska. Highs are forecasted to be in the low 60's west to low 70's east. The upper air low will move northeast through Nebraska on 9/24, bring showers and thunderstorms to the state. High are projected to be in the 60's. The upper air low will move toward the Great Lakes on 9/25 and filter Canadien air southward into the upper Midwest. Highs for Nebraska are projected to be in the 60's. Week Two Forecast, 9/26-10/2: Little to no moisture is expected during the period. However, below normal temperatures are expected during the 9/269/28 period. The cold Canadian air will remain in place across much of the corn belt with freezing conditions likely the mornings of 9/26 and 9/27. The highest probabil-

Health Care Reform: The “What’s in it for Me” Factor by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725
The vast majority of Americans, some 250 million people, have health insurance. That includes 85 percent of Nebraskans. While many Nebraskans have health insurance, most of those with coverage face steep increases in premiums every year. They want to contain those costs, but don’t want to sacrifice what they have so that coverage may be extended to others. That was one of the main themes I heard over and over again at public meetings statewide during August. Up until the President spoke last week, those proposing health care reform have failed to tell the majority of Americans who have insurance what reform holds for them and how they would benefit from it.

The Lost Message
Controlling Costs for the Previously, the message had been Insured
all about how to cover the uninsured and not addressed to those who have worked hard and paid their share to obtain health insurance. The value of reform for those who have insurance had been lost and the absence of this important message crippled the debate. The President spoke directly to these Americans on how health reform would make their coverage work better for them and become more secure. This is why I said his speech was a bit of a game changer. He regained control of the message for the 250 million people who have insurance and what's in it for them.
Their premiums are going up an average of 9 percent a year which most families cannot sustain because they’re going up two to three times faster than wages. While I need to see details and cost estimates, on the surface, I agree with the President that reform should help keep costs down for those who have insurance while not adding more deficit spending. I will be looking for a plan which stresses prevention and wellness, quality improvement in the delivery of health care, yet not raise taxes, increase the deficit, ration care, or fund abortions. These are some of the basic princi-
ples that are guiding me as we work our way through this difficult issue.
Listening to Nebraskans Swing votes, those of us in the middle, the centrist and conservative Democrats and moderate Republicans, were a target of the President’s speech, but the people I will continue to listen to on this important issue are Nebraskans. They will be the ones who influence my vote. As a result I plan to be holding more public meetings across the state on health care reform. Now that we are starting to get much needed details, additional meetings are more important than ever.
Health Care Debate Gets Heated by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335
In August, I – like many Members of Congress – made the most of my time to engage constituents in a debate about legislation directly impacting the future of our health care. I took the opportunity to ask folks attending my public meetings if they thought we should have finished the bill before the end of August. Even though we had people on both sides of the issue, not one on either side of the issue raised their hand. We need to work together, but more importantly, we need to take the time to get the bill right. What I heard back home is folks want us to take action here in Washington which will increase access to care, lower the cost of health insurance and lower the cost of health care in the long term. Just a few days ago, President Obama made a rare address to a joint session of Congress. I appreciated the President for once again laying out his thoughts on health care.

However, for the most part he did not say anything we haven’t heard before. The President missed a historic opportunity. The American people don’t want us to launch a new government-run insurance plan which will lead to a government takeover of health care, paid for with $900 billion in higher taxes. What’s more, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office’s (CBO) Director Douglas Elmendorf confirmed H.R. 3200 would actually drive costs higher for American families and force patients onto a governmentrun plan. A separate study concluded this move could drive as many as 114 million Americans from their current employer-sponsored coverage. This bill would force providers to accept reimbursements equal to Medicare rates, which on average reimburse doctors 20 percent less than private plans, and hospitals as much as 30 percent less. The result
Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207
would be unsustainable, forcing private plans to raise the cost of private coverage to absorb underpayments. Moreover, millions of seniors would lose health care choices due to billions of dollars in Medicare cuts, making it more difficult for seniors to obtain the coverage they need. The American people want our current health care system to work better. They don’t want it replaced with a government-run plan. Nor do they support one party taking a go-it-alone approach. Why not let all Americans purchase health insurance across state lines? Why not bring about reasonable restrictions and limits on medical malpractice claims to end the era of defensive medicine? Congress must recognize the need to lower health care costs and both sides must be ready, willing and able to work with colleagues throughout the political spectrum to solve our health care challenges in a bipartisan
manner. It is understandable this issue has raised emotions, even causing outbursts from small constituent meetings all the way to the House floor. I say this with firsthand knowledge. Lawmakers should pursue ideas which hold to traditional American principles and offer real results. We should be working to empower states to experiment with their own reforms; to allow Americans to purchase health insurance across state lines; and implement tax reforms which would allow individuals to purchase the coverage best suited for them and their families. When I was in Nebraska, people told me Congress should take its time and work to develop a bill which will lower the cost of health care without spending $900 billion more of taxpayer dollars. We have the opportunity to make the American people proud. We should make the most of it.
Health Care Hot Topic in Nebraska by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

Last week, I traveled approximately 1,100 miles across Nebraska from Scottsbluff to South Sioux City, holding seven town halls, five round tables, and other meetings in 11 counties. I listened closely to Nebraskans' concerns and there is overwhelming anxiety about health care legislation. To be clear, I do believe action is needed. Small businesses are struggling to provide health insurance for employees, and many Nebraskans are falling through the cracks. At the Chase County Fair, I heard from a woman whose husband is a trucker with no health care plan. He makes too much money to qualify for Medicaid, is not old enough for Medicare, but has a pre-existing condition so he can't qualify for health insurance. There are about 12 million people like this across the country, who do not qualify for government programs and have no affordable options. We must find a solution for these people that won't break the bank. But current proposals are riddled with bad policy ideas. Expanding the government's role by forcing unfunded Medicaid mandates on the states and
Scottsbluff Office: 115 Railway Street, Suite C102 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Tel: (308) 632-6032 Fax: (308) 632-6295
sacrificing crucial Medicare funding is very much the wrong approach. Establishing a government-run option that drives private companies out of business is another bad idea. I visited critical access hospitals in Cherry and Brown Counties. These 25-bed hospitals provide essential services, but without a dense population base to help absorb escalating costs, they face serious challenges. Did you know there is only one hospital delivering babies between Chadron and O'Neill? It's in Valentine. We can't afford to lose it or any of our rural hospitals. Unfortunately, the current reform proposals would put some doctors' offices and hospitals at risk, and therefore their patients. If doctors in New York retire rather than operate under government rates, there is little impact, but similar retirements in rural Nebraska could have a dramatic effect. Under a one-size-fits-all approach for both New York City and Nebraska City, our state loses. I asked our rural hospitals if they could keep

their doors open at the Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement rates the government provides. The doctors and hospital administrators said no. This means private insurance companies have to pay higher reimbursement rates to subsidize government programs. As Washington attempts to shift more and more people onto government-run insurance, our rural doctors and hospitals will struggle to stay open and serve our citizens. Health care reform must address this and protect critical access hospitals. I am co-sponsoring legislation that would do just that. It's a rural hospital and provider equity act that adjusts Medicare rates for rural hospitals and doctors, among other provisions. There are other good ideas about how to bring costs under control and expand access without sacrificing quality care and consumer choice. I support them and I hope my colleagues will seriously consider them instead of ramming a bad bill through Congress. I continue traveling the state this week, eager to hear more from you about health care and other important policies.

“What Time is It?”
by Lee Pitts I can usually tell what a person’s occupation is with one simple question: “What time is it?” This is how people in the following jobs answer that question: Lawyer: Under some alleged circumstances the clock may be presumed to indicate a time period between three and five o’clock. That will be $5,000 please. Consultant: If you give me your watch I will be happy to tell you what time it is. CEO of Fortune 500 Company: I’m sorry but my lawyers, and the glare from all diamonds and precious jewels on the watch that my board members gave me for driving them into bankruptcy, makes it so that I am unable to tell you what time it is. Clerk In A Big Box Store: That’s not my department. And I wish you luck finding anyone in this store who can help you. Dairyman: It’s time to milk the
cows, what time did you think it was? It’s always time to milk the cows. Now get out of my way. (Someone needs a vacation.) Tax Accountant: What time do you want it to be? Preacher: It’s time for you to repent and give up your sinful ways. Large Animal Veterinarian: It’s an hour and a half past the time I was supposed to be at my next appointment. Farmer: It’s about time my wife returns from town with that part I sent her for. Farmer’s Wife: It’s about time that fat slob of a husband of mine drives 60 miles into town to get his own darn part. And he can stay there for all I care. Doctor: Before I can answer that question we will have to run several expensive tests, like what kind of insurance do you have. Now, if you’ll please excuse me, my Rolex says I’m
already late for my tee time at the country club. Computer Geek: Let’s see now, if the hour hand is x and the minute hand is y, it must be x squared minus the square root of y. Cable Company representative: It’s time to raise your rates again in such a sneaky manner that we hope you don’t notice. Government Bureaucrat: We cannot answer that question unless you put your request in triplicate and send it along with $50 to some big office building in Washington DC where it will be lost. Otherwise you should expect an answer within six to eight weeks in which case it will be a different time than it is now. We’re glad we could be of personal assistance. This is a recording. New Soldier: Let’s see, 2 o’clock plus twelve equals, uh, fourteen hundred hours, sir. Customer Service Representative:
Please punch #4 for the time in the eastern time zone. #6 for mountain and #8 for the time in the Pacific time zone or stay on the line and a representative will be with you in just 20 minutes. (Ha, ha. That’s a laugh. It’ll be more like an hour but you don’t know what time it is so what do we care?) Cardiologist: It’s two hours past your appointment time, but don’t get your blood pressure up. You shouldn’t have to wait but another hour. Or two. Politician: It’s the same time it always is... time to raise your taxes and my salary and lower our standards. Retired Person: Let’s see, it’s twenty minutes until my nap, six hours before cocktail time and eight hours before I nod off to sleep from sheer boredom. Cowboy: I have no idea, and furthermore, I don’t really care.
Cool, wet weather causes tomato and potato late blight LINCOLN — Cool, wet and foggy conditions this last week across parts of Nebraska are responsible for an unusual late-season tomato and potato disease that can quickly kill the plants. Late blight is striking potato and tomato plants, said Amy Ziems, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic coordinator. "We have confirmed the blight in the Fremont area and in the Omaha metro area," Ziems said. "It is being found because of the cool and wet conditions we've been having with temperatures at the 70 and 80 degree mark." Blight can kill the plant's leaves after two to three days and cause the tomato fruit and potato tubers to rot after they've been picked, she said. Signs of late blight include a dark green watersilk lesion. As it continues to grow, the edge turns brown and the lesion will dry up. Under really humid and foggy conditions, white spores will be present underneath the leaf. On the fruit, it causes at first a dark, greasy looking lesion that within two days will completely expand a soft rot to the whole fruit so it can't be eaten. This is similar for potatoes.
NEW CORN PLANTING Continued from page 1 "We're kind of limited in what we can do out there in the hills and terraces," Lance said. Luebbe said the real evidence will come in once the harvest is finished, when the yield is counted " though he noted that having a different combine harvest each pass would make reliable results difficult. A few farmers said they might also wait on a successful try at twin-row planting by neighbors before giving it a shot themselves. Evans said there may be more neighbors to meet that test, too. "There's getting to be a lot of guinea pigs now that are out there doing it," Evans said. "They're getting to have some success with it."

"If you have infected potato plants, it can go down into the tuber, and a lot of times cause a soft rot while in storage," she said. "If you harvest potatoes in the next month or two, they may look fine, but when you go back and get the potato out of your storage area in December or January, it will be completely rotten." This is the same pathogen that caused the 1850s potato famine in Ireland, causing millions of people to immigrate from Ireland to the United States to avoid starvation. Ziems said there has been a sizable outbreak in the northeast United States, which started in June. It hit commercial organic tomato production
especially hard. Organic tomato prices have skyrocketed in the northeast and many organic tomato producers had to go out of organic production. Fungicides are available to treat the disease, but they must be applied immediately after symptoms are spotted. "For commercial growers, be sure to scout heavily. If you see one symptom, you need to spray," Ziems said. Be sure to follow label instructions. The fruit will still be safe to eat after applying the fungicide. Gardeners with infected plants this year should remove them immediately and throw them away. "Don't put them in the compost pile, throw them in the trash," Ziems said. "The disease can overwinter if a compost pile doesn't get warm enough." For more information about late blight, consult the Sept. 3 episode of "Backyard Farmer.”
Irrigation supplies look good for 2010 By SANDRA HANSEN Scottsbluff Star-Herald Ag Editor
MILLS, Wyo. - With the end of the 2009 irrigation season this week, producers are already looking at 2010, though with a lighter heart than last year. With a good supply of storage water in the North Platte River Basin reservoirs, and the wettest summer in several years coming to a close, they are more confident that the next growing season could be even more successful. As of Sept. 1, the seven reservoirs between the Colorado/Wyoming state line and the Whalen diversion dam east of Guernsey, Wyo., contained a total of 1,815 acre-feet of water. At this time in 2008, they held 1,241,000 acre-feet. Total capacity is 2,787,800 acre-feet. Seminoe Dam, the first inside the state line from Colorado, was at 773,900 acre-feet, out of a capacity of 1,017,300 acre-feet. Pathfinder Dam, the other large storage facility, was at 661,800 acre-feet, with a toal capacity of 1,016,500 acrefeet. They both are at more than 100 percent of their 30-year-averages, which have shrunk due to the past eight or nine years of drought. Seminoe is at 76 percent of capacity, while Pathfinder is at 65 percent. This leaves a lot of room for collecting inflows over the winter. Ownership totals for water users in the system are also holding strong. The North Platte Project, which serves irrigators in eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska, is at 136 percent of the 30year-average, with 664,000 acre-feet. This is 63 percent of the total storage capacity of 1,062,100 acre-feet. These numbers reflect inflow as well as conservation savings by the irrigation districts.
Glendo Reservoir, where storage water is located for the Mitchell Irrigation District, is also in better shape than it has been over the past several years. It is going into the end of the growing season with 123,000 acre-feet of ownership, or 67 percent of its total storage capacity. This is 92 percent of the 133,600 acre-foot 30-year-average. Seminoe received 40,700 acre-feet of inflow in August, which is 115 percent of the 30-year-average of 35,300 acre-feet. So far in Water Year 2009, which ends Sept. 30, Seminoe has accumulated 1,202,800 acre-feet of inflow. August inflow in 2008 was 41,900 acre-feet, 2007 was 27,100 acrefeet, and 2006 was 18,100 acre-feet. Pathfinder registered a negative inflow in August, as it has for the past four years. Total inflow for the 2009 Water Year is 95,400 acrefeet, or 72 percent of the 132,100 acre-foot 30year-average. With continued conservation, and hopefully a return to more inflow from snow pack and rainfall, John H. Lawson, manager of the western area U.S. Bureau of Reclamation office at Mills, Wyo., believes the storage levels will continue to grow. This will relieve some of the stress experienced by all agriculture producers who rely on the North Platte River system. Officials are eager for the upper reservoirs to gain, and at the same time are preparing Glendo and Guernsey reservoirs for the winter. Recreation opportunities at Guernsey have neared the end of their season, and Glendo is expected to level out by mid-September, at which time it will begin to increase during the winter.

Firing up for hunting season By TONYA WIESER Scottsbluff Star-Herald
ALLIANCE - Along with falling leaves, jack-olanterns and the harvest, autumn also brings the start of several hunting seasons. Currently, archery antelope season is in full swing. Todd Nordeen, Game and Parks Commission District Manager for the Panhandle Wildlife Division said a few hunters have checked in and are doing fairly well. The number of big-game hunters has remained steady over the years with a slight increase; whereas, the numbers of small-game participants have declined the last 15 years. Much will depend on the weather. When the area experiences wintry weather there is usually a decline in harvest, he added. Deer season will soon be opening. The deer population, predominately the whitetail, has tremendously increased, especially in eastern Nebraska. Game managers are looking at different ways in which to get those numbers under control. "We are staying on top of it throughout western Nebraska and are seeing good numbers of both whitetail and mule deer," Nordeen said. "So this year should prove for a very good season." In an effort to keep the numbers under control, Season Choice Tags have been implemented allowing hunters to harvest additional antlerless whitetail deer. The bonus tags involve several different deer management units with different quotas, because the different areas involved, such as Pine Ridge, Plains and Upper Platte, are dealing with different populations. "But each unit allows hunters to harvest beyond the normal limit," Nordeen said. "By allowing the taking of additional antlerless whitetail deer it helps us control the population by the taking of those females." Officials are also trying out a new pilot program this year for archery and muzzleloader deer hunters only. Although check stations remain available for all deer seasons as in the past, Nordeen said this year Nebraska hunters will also have the option of

checking in their harvested deer through telecheck by simply calling (800) 405-7700 at any time. Telechecking will be available during all deer seasons except the November firearm deer season. Nordeen said rifle deer hunters will still be expected to check in at the regular check-in stations because that is how the Game and Parks Commission collects a lot of its data. Hunters will be asked several questions and will receive a seal number and security code, both of which must be written on the permit. "If the program proves successful I foresee that it will most likely be extended to the harvesting of antelope," Nordeen said. Once again Game and Parks will be offering the deer exchange program. "It was something new we tried last year and it drew quite an interest," Nordeen said. "The program is designed for those wishing to harvest deer but who do not want or need the meat." The program allows for the transfer of deer meat from hunters to people who want to receive it. Venison donors and willing recipients can register online at www.outdoornebraska.org at no cost and the parties will then contact each other and work out the details of transfer. "It is a good way to get people talking to each
"We are staying on top of it throughout western Nebraska and are seeing good numbers of both whitetail and mule deer. So this year should prove for a very good season.'' Todd Nordeen NGPC district manager other," Nordeen said, "and hunters are very good about donating meat. It is a very good program proving to be a win-win situation for all involved." Another change this year is an early open for fall turkey season due to the population increase. In addition to the early opening, each hunter will be allowed two permits. Basically they will get two for the price of one, allowing them the ability to harvest four birds. Nordeen said the turkey population has exploded in eastern Nebraska with a significant increase over the past 10 years. "We have also experienced a slight increase in western Nebraska," Nordeen said, "so there are plenty state-wide for anyone interested in harvesting turkeys."

Deer, turkey seasons kick off
Hunters hold off on warm opening day for deer, turkey By Marjie Ducey WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER
The turkey and archery deer seasons started with more of a whimper than a bang on Tuesday, Game and Parks officials said. "It's so warm out there and with it starting in the middle of the week, very few people are out there hunting," said Ben Rutten, the district two wildlife supervisor in Bassett. Many hunters are waiting for the weather to cool, crops to be harvested and the bug population to die off. "After you get that first frost, it's easier to see to hunt, especially for turkey," Rutten said. "There's so much cover with the crops in, it's really hard." Hunters have plenty of chances, officials said, since the seasons began Tuesday instead of in October. Both stretch to Dec. 31, although archery deer hunters must sit out during the nine-day rifle deer season in November. Turkey hunters can still go afield, but they have to wear hunter orange during that Nov. 14 to 22 window. Numbers also may be down, although traditionally low anyhow on this opening day, because hunters now can check in their deer electronically instead of driving a half-hour to 45 minutes to the nearest check station. Scott Taylor, the wildlife research section leader, said they've had a few questions about the new system but no major problems were reported. Rutten said they've had a lot of people in buying permits, but that's it. "Most people don't like fighting the bugs in a tree stand too much," he said. "Eventually we'll get a lot of hunters in." Todd Nordeen, the district wildlife manager in Alliance, said hunters will have plenty of opportunity.

"We've got a lot of turkeys," he said. "I think people are going to have a good year. I think there is a lot of game out there."

October comes early this year for Nebraska turkey hunters. How early? Try Tuesday. That's when fall turkey hunting season begins, instead of the traditional October start. Nebraska bowhunters also take to the woods for the opening of the archery deer hunting season Tuesday. Holders of fall turkey hunting permits may pursue gobblers using either a shotgun or archery equipment from Tuesday through Dec. 31. And, for the first time, there is no need to suspend the hunt in November during the firearm deer season. Archers, however, must wear at least 400 square inches of hunter orange on their head, chest and back during the November rifle deer season. The longer season and hunting in November are the two biggest changes to fall turkey hunting this year, according to the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. No longer are there separate archery and shotgun fall seasons, with permits required for each weapon. Hunters only need to purchase a fall turkey hunting permit to hunt wild turkeys with either weapon. In 2008, 11,335 fall turkey permits were sold and 8,775 birds were taken. Those numbers are expected to increase dramatically this year due to the large population of birds and the liberalized season. “Fall turkey population numbers should be outstanding,” said Kit Hams, big game manager for the commission. Hams said Nebraska has a record adult turkey population. Good spring weather resulted in big increases in the summer survey by rural mail carriers. Those participating in the archery deer season have bonus tags, allowing them to take an antlerless whitetail to help control the species' herd size. Bonus tags were added to statewide archery permits in 2008. Bowhunters responded by taking a record 7,440 deer last year, up from 4,854 in 2007. The archery season is not the only deer season one to open Tuesday. Landowner, youth and season choice seasons also begin. Nebraska's popular firearm deer season is Nov. 14 to 22.

Tragedy highlights risks to farmers By Bob Glissmann Omaha World-Herald
Experience doesn't help if a mechanical failure occurs at the wrong time. Tractors and all-terrain vehicles that can roll over. Machines with fast-moving parts that can tear off a limb. Animals that can gore, crush or bite. Chemicals that emit toxic fumes. It's no wonder that farming is considered one of the most dangerous professions in the United States. The weekend death of former State Sen. Ron Raikes of rural Ashland, Neb., demonstrates the hazards farmers face daily. Raikes, 66, was killed while he was working on a hay-grinding machine on his farm late Saturday. The tub of the machine, where the hay bales go, can be lifted hydraulically to give the operator access to the grinding mechanism, which can get clogged. Hydraulics can hold up the tub, but a mechanical arm, which must be put in place manually, keeps the tub from dropping if the hydraulics fail for some reason. In this case, the mechanical arm wasn't up, and the frame holding the tub came down onto Raikes, who was alone at the time, said Lonnie Buller, who manages the grain operation on Raikes' 2,400-acre farm. Raikes was an experienced farmer, Buller said, who understood the risks inherent in the job. Similar hydraulic lifts can be found on front-end loaders, the headers on combines and folding cultivators, said Chuck Schwab, a safety specialist with Iowa State University Extension. All typically have mechanical locks that must be engaged, he said. Farmers can perform potentially dangerous tasks many times over the years and not get injured, Schwab said. All it takes is one instance of not following a safety procedure for a person to run into trouble, he said. "These are smart individuals -- they've made their livelihood in farming for years and years," Schwab said, speaking in general terms. "They've probably done multiple tasks. What happened this time? It likely was several things that came together and created this injury situation." One of the biggest risks farmers take, he said, is operating tractors that don't have rollover-protection structures, or ROPS. Newer tractors come with rollover protection, Schwab said. Older ones can be retrofitted, he said, but many farmers decide not to spend several hundred dollars for safety equipment on a tractor they have operated without incident for years. Overturned tractors and machinery have been the leading cause of farm-related deaths in Nebraska for years, said Dave Morgan, safety specialist with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension. On Monday, a 70-year-old Iowa City man was killed when he was pinned under a utility tractor mower, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office said. On Tuesday afternoon, an 18-year-old Lincoln man suffered broken bones and internal injuries when the 1965 open-seat tractor he was driving along a road rolled on top of him in a ditch, said Lancaster County Sheriff's Sgt. Andy Stebbing. Roll bars usually stop tractors from tipping more
than 90 degrees, Schwab said. "Fatalities usually happen at 180 (degrees)," he said, because tractors roll on top of the operator and crush them. The use of rollover protection and seat belts in tractors could drastically reduce the number of tractor-related injuries and deaths, said Dan Neenan, manager of the Iowa-based National Education Center for Agricultural Safety. Farmers also need to remember that attaching equipment to ATVs, such as sprayers or hay-bale racks, changes ATVs' center of gravity, Neenan said, and makes them unstable. And ATV-related deaths are increasing, Morgan said. Six people have died in ATV crashes in Nebraska so far this year, he said, and three of those were farm-related. Schwab said his big concern for this fall's harvest is if grain comes in wet and farmers try to break up clogged grain as it is being transferred into a bin. "I see a spike in suffocation," he said. "You don't enter the bin with the auger operating." Neenan said busy farmers need to slow down and pay attention to everything happening around them. "Nobody wakes up and says, ‘I'm gonna have a farm accident today.' You don't get to call that," Neenan said. "We need to be prepared for that every day."
LINCOLN, Neb. — ReTree Nebraska encourages Nebraskans to celebrate fall's ideal tree-planting weather by participating in ReTree Nebraska Week Sept. 19-26. "Many people don't know that fall is a great time for planting trees," said Jessica Kelling, ReTree Nebraska coordinator. "When properly planted, many tree species are able to quickly establish their root systems thanks to fall's lower temperatures and reduced humidity. This allows young trees to prepare for the upcoming winter and gives them a jump start on spring growth." According to Kelling, Nebraska has lost nearly half its community forest resource since the 1970s. "We have the opportunity to do something now that will have a positive impact on future generations," said Kelling. Kelling said Retree Nebraska ambassadors are coordinating local activities in communities across the state in celebration of the event. A list of events is available at ReTree Nebraska. Information about species selection, including ReTree Nebraska's Nine for 2009 – a list of specially selected species for Nebraska landscapes, and proper planting is also available at http://www.retreenebraska.unl.edu. ReTree Nebraska is a 10-year, cooperative initiative to promote the proper planting and care of 1 million trees in communities across Nebraska by 2017. Trees planted within city limits on public and private property, as well as trees planted in certain rural areas, can be counted toward ReTree Nebraska's 1 million tree goal. ReTree Nebraska is a cooperative effort of the Nebraska Forest Service, Nebraska Statewide Arboretum Inc., University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, University of Nebraska Rural Initiative, Nebraska Community Forestry Council and the university's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

This simple scrappy quilt is fat quarter friendly and perfect for just about any fabric collection. Use country colors, batiks, thirties prints, brights, neutrals, holiday prints, etc. FABRICS: 8 pieces of assorted dark fabrics (or 8 fat Quarters) for the star, measuring 15 x 22 inches We used 2 greens, 2 reds, 2 blues, 2 purples 8 ten inch squares of assorted medium neutrals for background (need to be similar values) can use all the same fabric or 4 fat quarters, but it won’t be as scrappy Backing: fabric approximately 46 inches square— or if you want to make a scrappy back, use 6 fat quarters CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS: Darks— Binding strips – Cut these first. Cut 2¼ inch strips (using the longest side) of each of the 8 darks for your binding and then cut a second 2¼ inch strip from one more of the darks to total 9 dark strips to piece together for a scrappy binding. Cut one 9½ inch square from each of the 8 darks & cut these squares on the diagonal once. SCRAPPY BORDER: Cut two 4½ inch wide pieces from each dark color as shown on the diagram Medium neutrals— Cut one 9½ inch square from each of the 8 mediums & cut these squares on the diagonal once. ASSEMBLE THE STAR: The dark triangles form your star and the medium triangles will be the background. Experiment with the placement of the triangles before you sew any of them into squares and choose a scrappy layout you like. The placement I used is in the diagram. Use your imagination and try different layouts. Sew the triangles together to make triangle squares. Square and trim the triangle blocks to measure 8 ½ inches square. Lay them out again to check your placement. Press your seams so that the seam allowances will lock together and then join the rows. Square and trim your star center. It should measure 32 ½ inches square. BORDER: Lay your border pieces around the Star Center, balancing the colors. Cut these border pieces into random sizes (I used 3 different pieces for each side and placed 4 ½ inch squares in each corner). Piece together, measure your quilt center and cut these borders to match your measurements. Sew to the quilt center and press.

Backing: you will need a piece of backing that is about 46 x 46 inches. If you decide to use fat quarters, trim all 6 fat quarters to a uniform size and piece together. Trim again to measure approximately 46 x 46. Layer with your batting and quilt top. Quilt as desired. Piece your binding strips together using diagonal seams and bind your quilt.

York quilters make pillowcases for sick kids By Kate Burke York News-Times
YORK - Parents always want to do as much as they can for their sick children. A Pennsylvania mom, Cindy Kerr, knew she could not do the one thing she most wanted: cure her son, Ryan, of his rare childhood cancer. So she did something she knew she could do well. She made him a colorful pillowcase to brighten up his hospital room. The bright colors and fun patterns were a hit with Ryan, and with all of the other kids in the pediatric oncology unit, as well. Cindy sewed more pillowcases for them. Her loving effort grew to include chronically ill kids of all kinds, in any hospital that chose to participate, with pillowcases sewn by volunteers across the country. Over 100,000 pillowcases have been distributed so far. ConKerr Cancer, Cindy’s nonprofit organization, is now in 37 states, Canada and South Africa. Ryan lost his six-year battle in 2008, but his pillowcase legacy is picking up steam in the Heartland. Early this year, two Omaha-area women, Donna Tajvar and Cathy Pasko, organized the Nebraska program for ConKerr Cancer. The York Area Quilt Guild invited Donna and Cathy to their September meeting at Arbor Drive Community Church on Tuesday. About 20 mem-
bers presented the Nebraska coordinators with the pillowcases they had sewn over the summer. Guild member Linda Glisson saw a brochure for ConKerr Cancer in a Lincoln quilt shop last May and brought the idea home to York. The pillowcases don’t require quilting, but she knew it would be a fun, heartwarming project for these dedicated sewers. Besides, she said, “Quilters always have spare fabric.” Putting together the pillowcases was a breeze for these experienced piece workers. Guild member Deb Girard reported that seven people, during one sewing party, completed 72 pillowcases. Even inexperienced sewers find the directions simple and the results great. ConKerr Cancer even takes the sewing part of the program into some hospitals for the kids to whip up their own pillowcases. Donna and Cathy said that many Brownie and Girl Scout troops, school groups, church and civic organizations get involved with ConKerr Cancer to show sick kids that people care about them. The project is inexpensive, easy and fun. Donna showed a patch that Scout sewers can earn for completing a ConKerr Cancer project.

“There are always going to be sick kids with cancer.” Donna organized ConKerr Cancer Nebraska because her own daughter, now 21 years old, has endured 23 hospitalizations and 13 surgeries during her lifetime. She is grateful that her daughter’s condition is not terminal, but she was still looking for a community service project that combined her love for sewing with her concern for chronically ill kids. She enlisted her friend, Cathy, to help. They split their responsibilities, Cathy taking western Omaha and nearby towns, and Donna taking eastern Omaha and Council Bluffs, to pick up completed pieces from participating drop sites. They also regularly pick up in Lincoln.

They deliver the pillowcases to UNMC, Children’s Hospital and Boys Town. Concerned, also, for the siblings of hospitalized kids, they added Ronald McDonald House to their delivery route. Both of them were pleased to make the trip to York. The York quilters packed up 122 fun pillowcases for them to take back for Nebraska’s sick kids.

Unveiling the truth behind four common food myths LINCOLN — The next time you take that hamburger off the grill, don't assume it is fully cooked just because the inside is brown. The appearance of hamburger or any other meat can't be used to determine doneness, said Julie Albrecht, food safety specialist in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Rather, a food thermometer is the only sure way to determine when meat is cooked properly. "Many people use color as an indication of doneness, but new research shows color can't be trusted," Albrecht said. The color of hamburger was one of four food myths listed in a report issued by the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education in recognition of September being National Food Safety Education Month. When using a food thermometer on a hamburger, it should be inserted into the side of the burger. It is done when cooked to 160 degrees. A thermometer should be used when cooking all meats, Albrecht said. Poultry is done at 165 degrees and fish at 145 degrees. The temperature of steak and beef roast is best determined by consulting PFSE's Web site. Other myths identified by PFSE include a belief that lemon juice and salt will clean a cutting board. While
lemon juice may inhibit the growth of bacteria, it does not kill it, Albrecht said. The best way to sanitize a cutting board and other kitchen surfaces is by cleaning it with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach in 1 gallon of water. Cutting boards can be sanitized in a dishwasher as well. Another myth is that rinsing raw chicken with water will kill bacteria. The only way to kill bacteria in poultry is to cook it to its proper temperature, Albrecht said. Rinsing it under water will promote cross-contamination. "If you do it in a sink it splashes all over the place and you get microorganisms in your sink area," she said. The fourth myth is that hot food should not be put in the refrigerator. Many people leave hot food on the counter to cool it before refrigerating it so as not to heat up the refrigerator, Albrecht said. Perishable food needs to be refrigerated within two hours after being cooked or bacteria will form, she said. Food left outside in heat of 90 degrees or higher should be discarded after one hour. Large amounts of cooked food, such as a pot of soup, should be placed in smaller containers to cool it faster. Albrecht recommends containers no more than 3 inches deep.

Corn Corn trade is higher on the week thanks to a big limit-up market on Tuesday following a frost threat in the forecast. After three days of trade, the weekly net change is 17 higher on the December contract and December 2010 is up 14. Outside market support was also noted for the higher trade; crude is over $3 higher, the dollar is 45 lower, and the DOW is 200 higher on the week. The weather has been the main market mover this week; on Tuesday the forecasts indicated a chance for frost over much of the northern Corn Belt for the September 25th timeframe. This was noted for the sharply higher trade and short covering rally on Tuesday following the move above the 20-day moving average, which is down at $3.23. The forecasts have since warmed up, which promoted some profit taking by market longs on Wednesday and may promote a sell off back toward the lows rather quickly. The crop is still behind and the threat of an early frost has not been removed, but actual damage may only be minimal. If forecasts swing back toward an early frost then we could see additional short covering, but the trade mentality is likely looking

Soybean trade has been higher this week due to supportive weather items and outside markets. Heading into Thursday, the weekly net change is 47 higher on the November contract and January is up 45. Meal is $18.50 higher and oil is 88 higher. Weather items should continue to dictate trade, but for the very moment the frost rally seen early in the week, is no longer present so prices should drift back to the downside. The market should be range-bound following the neutral USDA Supply and Demand Report last week, but continued frost concerns could lead to additional short covering if the forecasts bring cold temperatures back into the picture. It will be important for the U.S./China trade dispute to be resolved quickly; the continued strong demand/tight supply situation that developed in the old crop market could help support the new crop November contract near-term, but any rumors of shifting demand may keep market bulls on the side-
lines. The weekly export sales were good at 489,400 tons; China was most of the weekly total. There was also some 2010/11 sales of 215,000 tons, most of which were also to China. The combined total was within expectations. Meal sales were in the lower part of expectations at 42,900 tons of old crop and 72,200 tons of new. Bean oil sales were above expectations at 29,900 tons of old crop sales. (The soy product new crop year starts next month). On the weekly crop progress report, percent dropping leaves was reported at 17% versus 20% a year ago and the 36% 5-year average. The crop condition came in at 68% good to excellent, unchanged versus last week. On the November chart, we were unable to find follow-through buying interest after the short covering rally on Tuesday. The market sold off on Wednesday but found support at the 10-day at $9.32. View this area as near-term support for the rest of the week.

to sell rallies due to expectations of a big crop. The USDA Supply and Demand Report last week confirmed this by increasing the carryover and rising yield expectations with their number up at a new record 161.9 bushels per acre. A small trade dispute emerged earlier this week between the U.S. and China following the U.S. tariff on Chinese tires. China is expected to retaliate with a tariff on U.S. meat and poultry. This situation should continue to be monitored; any escalation of the dispute could result in shifting Chinese grain demand. On the weekly crop progress report, percent dough was reported at 93% versus 95% a year ago and the 98% 5-year average. The percent dented was listed at 66% compared to 76% last year and an 86% 5-year average. The crop condition came in at 69% good to excellent, unchanged from last week. The weekly export sales came in at 965,600 million tons which was in line with expectations. Hedgers call with questions.
Wheat Wheat trade has been mixed this week due to a lack of fresh supportive news, but some short covering has stopped the slide. After three days of trade, the Chicago December contract is steady, KC is up 3, and Minneapolis is up 5. On the Chicago December chart, the market did move above the 10-day moving average which could promote some buying interest. The 20-day has held as resistance for now. This market is still oversold and due for a bigger bounce, but it still may be a while before this occurs, meaning we still appear to need a bigger reason for wheat to rally. Winter wheat seeding should stay on a normal pace; the Drought Monitor illustrates good conditions for most all winter wheat production areas. The friendly item for this market could come from reduced seeding due to the lower

price of wheat versus our price range the past few years and the current new crop row crop prices. There was some short covering early in the week following the rally in the row crops, but the negative USDA report last week will likely limit buying interest on bounces. The biggest item from the report was the rising global carryover, which is the best illustration of why our exports are very low. The weekly sales came in at 449,400 tons which was 19% lower than last week, but in line with expectations. On the weekly crop progress report, winter wheat planting was reported at 13% complete which was in line with the 5-year average. Spring wheat harvest was listed as 69% complete compared to the 92% 5-year average. Hedgers call with questions.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry
U.S. livestock producers urged to look overseas By Steve Jordon Omaha World-Herald
U.S. livestock producers will have to reach out to foreign consumers to restore profits, according to a report by two Federal Reserve economists. Demand for meat is down at home because of the recession, and it likely will be slow to return even after the economy turns around, the report said. But in developing countries, including China and India, consumers' incomes are growing, along with their demand for protein. And that creates market potential for U.S. hog, cattle and dairy producers. "As stronger economic growth emerges in developing countries, foreign consumers will enjoy some of the fastest-growing disposable incomes in the world, with per-capita meat consumption patterns to match," said economists Brian Briggeman and Jason Henderson at the Omaha branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, Mo. In 2008 and this year, they said, U.S. profits from cattle and hogs disappeared because of lagging demand and high fuel and feed costs. Farmers and ranchers are reducing herd numbers, the traditional response to falling demand and high costs. Herd reductions may continue next
"As stronger economic growth emerges in developing countries, foreign consumers will enjoy some of the fastestgrowing disposable incomes in the world, with per-capita meat consumption patterns to match'' Brian Briggeman Economist year and should help balance supply and demand, the report said. But in previous recessions, demand for meat has lagged for a year or more even after recovery begins, they said, and prospects are high for "anemic" employment growth after the current recession. "Contractions in expenditures during the current recession could be an ominous sign of steeper contractions going forward," the economists said. China's economy, meanwhile, is growing by 6.7 percent so far this year and may grow an additional 8 percent in 2010, and a rising middle class is boosting protein consumption, the report said.
In the United States, meat consumption rose 18 percent from 1975 to 2009, but in China it went up 532 percent, the economists said. Milk consumption is up 3,000 percent in China. Competing in international markets means overcoming food safety issues and creating products attractive to foreign tastes, and the U.S. meat industry must make that effort, the report said. "The industry has traditionally innovated to meet ever-changing consumer tastes and preferences at home," the report said. "As foreign countries emerge from poverty, the lessons livestock producers have learned about demand at home may hold for demand abroad."
CATTLE SAFETY Accidents with beef cattle tend to occur while the victim is handling the livestock. Beef cattle are known for an even disposition, but can become startled, and inflict injury to anyone in their way. Groups of animals are easy to "spook." Bovines can see nearly 360 degrees without moving their heads. Therefore, a quick movement behind is just as apt to "set them off" as a frontal one. • Dairy cows may look contented in the pasture, but they are generally more nervous than other animals. Creatures of habit, they are easily startled, especially by strange noises and persons. • Always announce your presence when approaching a cow. Gently touch the animal rather than let the first contact be a bump or shove. • When moving cows into a constraining space such as a milking parlor stall or squeeze chute, give them time to adjust before starting the work at hand. • If a cow tends to kick, consider using a hobble. Don't permit workers to talk loudly, clatter and bang equipment around or handle cows roughly. Gentle cows can become dangerous when defending calves and this fact should be impressed to children, visitors and new workers. • Special facilities should be provided so that a bull can be fed, watered, exercised and used for breeding without the handler coming into direct contact with him. • Once you have moved dairy cattle into the milking stalls, give them a moment to adapt to the new environment before beginning your operation. Although cattle are not apt to attack you, they can overwhelm you with their size and weight. Leave yourself an "out" when trying to corner or work with cattle.

Oct 8622 8812
Support: Resistance
Live cattle trade has been flat to lower this week due to some chart selling and limited fresh supportive news. Heading into Thursday, the weekly net change is 25 lower on the October contract and December is down 27. Cash trade has been slow to develop this week, but asking prices remain firm at $87. The cutout values finished lower on Wednesday with choice down 45 at 142.34 and select was 32 lower at 134.61. Position squaring ahead of the Cattle on Feed Report should be the theme through Friday.

Support: Resistance
Lean hog trade was has been mixed this week due to some unwinding of long October versus short December spreads, but we still are holding a higher trend. After three days of trade, the weekly net changes are $.02 lower on October, and December is up $1.63. Cash trade has continued the up tick this week with trade $1 to $2 higher than a week ago. The carcass value has rebounded this week after the sharp drop late last week, so the improving processing margins should give packers incentive to pay steady to higher money the rest of the week.

Mountain Pine Beetle Spreading in Panhandle LINCOLN — The mountain pine beetle, a small insect that has killed millions of acres of pine trees in the western U.S. and portions of Canada, has shown up on trees in several western Nebraska communities. Forest health experts with the Nebraska Forest Service said mountain pine beetle attacks have been reported in Scottsbluff, Gering, Minatare, Kimball, and areas of the Wildcat Hills. Nebraska's first mountain pine beetle infestation was confirmed near Harrisburg this summer. Mark Harrell, Nebraska Forest Service forest health program leader, said adult mountain pine beetles bore into pine trees from July through October, leaving small, marble-sized masses of resin, called pitch tubes, on the trunk. "Adult beetles are black, about 1/4-inch long and lay eggs in the tunnels between the bark and wood," Harrell said. "Grub-like larvae hatch from the eggs and feed in the tree until July of the following year. The tunnels made by the larvae as they feed can kill a tree if enough larvae are present." According to Harrell, Scotch pine is very susceptible to mountain pine beetle attacks, while Ponderosa and Austrian pines are susceptible to a lesser degree.
Trees heavily attacked by the mountain pine beetle have many pitch tubes on the trunk and usually die. To reduce the risk of the beetles spreading to nearby pines, these trees should be removed and either chipped, burned or moved at least 2 miles from other pines before the end of May. Trees that are lightly attacked have only a few pitch tubes on the trunk and may not be killed by mountain pine beetle. These trees should be watched closely for any sign that the tree is dying and should be removed by the end of May if dying symptoms, such as yellowing needles, are seen in the spring. Harrell said insecticide trunk sprays can be applied to prevent attacks on high-value trees and should be applied in the late spring but before mid-June. "Carbaryl is the most effective insecticide for mountain pine beetle," said Harrell. "Bifenthrin and permethrin are also effective, but permethrin should be applied twice for better protection, first by mid-June and second by early August. Use only insecticides that have directions for mountain pine beetle on the label because similar products without mountain pine beetle on the label will not be as effective." Harrell said insecticides will not control beetles that have already entered the tree.
Heavily attacked trees in forest stands also should be removed and either chipped, burned or moved at least 2 miles from other pines. Dense stands of trees are often stressed and more susceptible to attack. Thinning dense stands will improve tree health and will reduce the susceptibility of the trees to the beetle. Improving tree health also will help pines in communities and residential landscapes to be less susceptible to the beetle. Timely supplemental watering can improve tree health during extended periods of drought. In average soils, trees can benefit from receiving 1 inch of water each week from rainfall or irrigation. During irrigation, however, water needs to drain from the soil before more water is applied. The best way to water trees is to do it infrequently and let the water soak in deeply. Trees in soils with high levels of clay should receive not more than 1 inch per week, and those in soils with high levels of sand could use up to 2 inches of water each week. This is best if applied all at once or one half at a time. Daily or very frequent waterings can keep the soil too wet, or the soil may be moist on the surface but not moist enough a few inches below, depending on how much water is applied each time.

IANR Vice Chancellor and NU Vice President Owens to step down in June 2010 LINCOLN, Neb. — John Owens, Harlan vice chancellor of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will step down June 30, 2010. Owens has been vice chancellor since January 2001. He also serves as the University of Nebraska's vice president for agriculture and natural resources. Owens, 65, said two recently diagnosed heart arrhythmias contributed to his decision. He noted, too, that by the time he steps down, he will have been a dean, vice president or vice chancellor in the landgrant university system for 25 years, longer than anyone else currently serving as an administrative head of agriculture. "It's time," Owens said of his decision. After a period of faculty development leave, Owens plans to remain with UNL as a UNL Extension professor of entomology. UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman said Owens will be missed. "John has made many significant contributions to the institute and to agriculture in Nebraska. More than that he has been a personal friend and colleague," Perlman said. "I am pleased he is staying at the university so I can continue to draw on his knowledge and experience. We will quickly initiate a search for his successor as vice chancellor and vice president." NU President James B. Milliken said, "Throughout his tenure, John Owens has demonstrated that he cares deeply about agriculture and he understands its importance in the 21st century. His passion and enthusiasm for his work is evident to all around him, and he has been a tireless promoter for IANR and Nebraska agriculture. We will miss his leadership but welcome his continued contribution as a faculty member." "I'm really proud of the strides IANR has made in the last 8 1/2 years and, just as important, very excited about what the future holds for the institute," Owens said. "But let me be clear: This isn't about what I've accomplished as vice chancellor and vice president. This is about the achievements of our faculty, staff, and students. "And it's those faculty, staff, and students who are the key to the institute's future, which I'm convinced
is very bright despite the very real challenges public universities face," Owens added. Owens said stakeholder support also has been key. The Ag Builders of Nebraska, the Nebraska Farm Bureau, the Nebraska Cattleman, and others contribute great ideas and energy, and Owens said he has appreciated their effectiveness as spokespersons for IANR and the university as a whole. During Owens' tenure at IANR, which comprises the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, UNL Extension, the Agricultural Research Division and parts of the College of Education and Human Sciences, there have been a number of accomplishments for which he credits many people. – Owens made increasing enrollments in CASNR and at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (NCTA) at Curtis a priority when he arrived in January 2001. From fall of 2004 through fall of 2009, CASNR saw a 44 percent increase in enrollment, to 1,758. "That's a remarkable achievement," he said, and he credits CASNR Dean Steven Waller, faculty, staff, students, and supporters for the increase. Enrollment also is up this year at NCTA to the highest number ever in its history as a college, to about 425 under the leadership of NCTA Dean Weldon Sleight. – New educational offerings within IANR during Owens' tenure include the Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine, a partnership with Iowa State University that represents "the most cost-effective veterinary medicine program in the United States," Owens said. – During the fiscal year ending June 30, IANR faculty were awarded nearly $62 million in external grants and contracts to support research, teaching, and extension. – Extension's importance to Nebraska is exemplified, among other things, by the fact that the state leads the nation in the percentage of its eligible youth who are enrolled in 4-H. About 135,000 participate in the program. "That makes it the largest single educational enterprise in the state of Nebraska," Owens said. – IANR's agricultural scientists are among the
most-cited in the world. Latest figures rank UNL scientists 14th in the world in the number of times their articles are cited by other authors. – Owens successfully pushed for establishment of the Nebraska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, a partnership of UNL's School of Natural Resources, the U.S. Geological Survey John Owens Biological Resource Discipline, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Wildlife Management Institute. Nebraska's is the only such unit Congress has established at a university this decade. IANR's progress since 2001 "has been accomplished in the face of withering budget cuts faced by the University of Nebraska," Owens noted. "This is one competitive academic unit full of highly accomplished people," he said, "and I think IANR's future is bright, which is good for Nebraska agriculture and natural resources, which in turn is good for Nebraska. As the university looks to hire the next vice chancellor, that person will come into a successful institute, well-positioned for further advancement and achievement."

What causes Farmer’s Lung? Mold spores which microorganisms, which grow in baled hay, stored grain, produce or silage with a high moisture content (30 percent) are main causes of Farmer’s Lung. They become active when temperatures reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit in poorly ventilated areas. Farmers most often suffer from this disease in winter and early spring when stored hay or grain is used to feed livestock and the molds have had time to develop in closed storage areas. The disease is most common in regions with wet weather at harvest time. Farmer's Lung is also more common on dairy farms, especially those not equipped with automated equipment for handling hay or feed. Heavy concentrations of mold spores appear as a dry, white or gray powder in grain or forage. When the feed is moved, billions of these microscopic sized particles become airborne and attach themselves to dust. These particles pass through the body’s natural filtering mechanisms (nose, hair, and throat mucous) and accumulate in the lungs where they can cause an allergic type of pneumonia.
