Jamion Aden sprays phragmites on the north bank of the Platte River just downstream of the Kearney bridge with an aquatic-safe herbicide. An airboat provides access to invasive vegetation missed by helicopter spraying last fall because of power line and tree interference or other factors.

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Hunting expeditions along the Platte River are nothing new for Jamion Aden of Cozad, but his prey this fall have roots, not fur, fins or feathers.

Aden and his work partner, Matt Linder, are patrolling riverbanks, sandbars and smaller channels by airboat from Odessa to three miles

east of Gibbon looking for non-native invasive plants, specifically phragmites.

Their employer, Paulsen Inc. Habitat Services, is under contract with the Platte Valley Weed Management Area to do touch-up herbicide spraying of phragmites not killed by helicopter applications done a year ago.

Other Paulsen teams are doing

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report During the past two weeks, several rounds of significant moisture hit parts of eastern Nebraska, with considerably lighter totals across the western half of the state. Rainfall of 3-6 inches was reported across extreme northeastern Nebraska on 10/18, with widespread 1-2 inch totals reported Allen Dutcher during the 10/23-10/24 time frame from central through eastern Nebraska. Dry conditions, with limited moisture, continue across western Nebraska and no-till wheat producers are reporting difficulty planting winter wheat. According to weather models, the recent stretch of dry weather which began statewide on 9/26 will likely be the norm during the next two weeks. The corn crop was rated at 78% mature on 9/26, double last years rating, with the remaining crop likely to mature during the next 10

days. Ten percent of the corn had been harvested as of 9/26 and will likely push 50% or more if the mostly dry forecast indicated by the models during the next two weeks does indeed verify.

Week One Forecast: 10/2-10/8: The recent stretch of dry weather is likely to continue through the first half of the forecast period as the expansive upper air ridge centered over the western and central U.S. gradually shifts east. Highs on 10/2 will range from the upper 50's northeast to upper 70's over the Panhandle. Highs should warm into low 70's east to mid 80's west on 10/3, with low to mid 80's likely statewide on 10/4. The ridge will continue to shift eastward on 10/5 which will allow for the formation of low pressure over eastern Colorado. Models indicate rainfall will develop across western Nebraska during the morning hours, then spread eastward throughout the day. Central Nebraska is currently targeted by the models as the most likely area to receive an inch of moisture, with the remainder of the state generally seeing less than 0.50 inches of moisture. High temperatures on 10/5 are projected to range from the upper 50's northwest to low 80's southeast. Some lingering showers are possible

across eastern Nebraska on 10/6, but models indicate the brunt of moisture will shift to the southern Plains. Highs on 10/6 are projected to be in the 70's statewide. Models indicate high pressure will dominate the region during the 10/6-10/8 period, with highs confined to the low to mid 70's.

Week Two Forecast: 10/9-10/15: Weather models indicate that this period should be dominated by dry weather, with the only opportunity for moisture confined to 10/11 when a cold front is projected to drop southeastward from southern Canada. Moisture appears limited with totals at this time projected to be less than 0.25 inches. There are hints that freezing temperatures could impact the eastern half of the state on 10/12, but the core of the cold air is forecasted to impact areas east of the Nebraska. Highs during the 10/9-10/10 period are projected to range from the low 70's east to upper 70's west, then cooling into the mid 50's northeast to mid 60's southwest during the 10/11-10/12 period. Warmer temperatures return to the region during the 10/1310/15 period. Highs are projected to be in the mid 60's east to low 70's west on 10/13, with low 70's east to upper 70's west on 10/14 and 10/15.

Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending September 26, 2010, crop harvest was hindered in the east by rain falling the latter part of the week, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Drier conditions in the Panhandle allowed winter wheat seeding to approach the 90 percent mark. Soybean harvest gained momentum as the crop reached maturity.

Grasshopper damage was reported in some pastures, while wind and hail caused damage to crops and property in scattered areas of the state. Calves were moved from pastures into feedlots and backgrounding operations.

Weather Summary: The eastern third of the state received the most rainfall with areas of the Northeast District receiving 3 to 6 inches of precipitation. The Panhandle, Southwest, and South Central Districts were drier and averaged less than .5 inch of precipitation. Temperatures averaged 4 to 6 degrees above normal in all regions of the state except the North Central and Northeast Districts, which were 1 to 2 degree above normal.

High temperatures were mainly in the upper 90’s and even reached the 100 degree mark in the Southwest District. Lows were recorded in the mid 30’s.

Don't Listen to Food Safety Myths It seems like no matter how much correct information is spread about food safety, incorrect myths and rumors still manage to infiltrate homes and wreak havoc as families cook, eat and store food. Below are four myths that seem to particularly plague consumers and information on what people really should do.

First, when sanitizing countertops with bleach and water, using more bleach does not mean more bacteria will be killed. In fact, using too much bleach can be dangerous because it could remain on surfaces or end up on food, and bleach is not safe to consume. The recommended ratio for sanitizing solution is 1 tablespoon of unscented liquid bleach per gallon of water. Wash the countertops with the solution, allow it to sit for a few minutes and then let it air dry or pat the area with clean, dry paper towels. Any leftover solution should be lightly covered and stored for up to one week. After that, the bleach will lose its effectiveness.

Second, produce should always be washed, even if it is peeled. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be placed under running tap water just before eating, cutting or cooking. Harmful bacteria may be on the outside of the produce, and it could be transferred to the part that is eaten if the produce is not washed before being peeled or cut. Wash delicate produce, like grapes or lettuce, under cool, running water and then blot them dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel.

Rub firm-skin produce under running tap water or scrub them with a clean produce brush. Never use detergent or bleach to wash fruits or vegetables.

Third, standing time for microwaveable foods is not optional or recommended just so people don't burn themselves. Standing time is an important part of the cooking process because it makes sure food reaches a safe internal temperature. Letting food stand allows the center of the dish to finish cooking without overcooking the outer edges of the dish that cook faster. When microwave cooking, always read and follow package instructions, know the microwave's wattage and use a food thermometer to ensure the food has reached a safe internal temperature.

Finally, leftovers are safe to eat until they smell bad, right? Wrong. Although foods that smell bad and have little green things growing on them should be thrown out, the types of bacteria that cause illness do not affect the taste, smell or appearance of food. Because of this, it is important to freeze or toss refrigerated leftovers within three to four days. If leftovers have been setting in the refrigerator for an unknown amount of time, don't take the risk – when in doubt, throw it out!

Selecting A Family Pet Submitted by Brenda Aufdenkamp, UNL Extension Educator in Lincoln County In the United States about three of every five homes have a family pet. If you find yourself one of those parents contemplating pet ownership, here are some facts to think about. Yes, pets can be a lot of work to care for; there’s the feeding, the walking, cleaning their cage or home and those unexpected veterinary bills.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, pet ownership can help lower blood pressure as well as cholesterol and triglyceride levels. For youth, pet ownership can provide a means of learning and fact finding. Youth will learn to make decisions, examine what is needed with pet ownership, and be responsible for something beyond themselves.

The 4-H Companion Animal project helps youth learn about their pets as well as helps to lead the entire family through how to select the

“Best Family Pet”. Use the following questions to lead your family through the decision of pet ownership.

1. What could a pet add to our family?

2. What are our favorite pets?

3. Who would be willing to help care for a pet?

4. Where would be the best place to keep a pet?

5. How will be cover the costs associated with our new pet?

Ultimately, it seems as though the benefits of pet ownership can outweigh the majority of disadvantages. In particular, there appears to be sufficient evidence that pets can alleviate stress, pets can improve one’s self-esteem, and many people find their pets to be great conversation starters. The decision of pet ownership needs to be explored by the entire family.

Information for this article was adapted from the 4-H curriculum titled, Pet Pals, 4-H CCS BU06359.

Fall Yard and Garden Cleaning Tips!

Cooler weather is starting to set in now! As we are enjoying this cool weather, fall foliage, bright chrysanthemums and all the pumpkins, we need to think about winterizing yards and landscapes.

Here are a few chores to be working on or at least be thinking about! · Dig up and store tender bulb plants such as cannas, caladium and dahlias before the first frost. These bulbs will not survive in the ground over the winter. They need to be stored in a dry cool place such as a basement, an insulated tool shed or garage. · Disconnect and drain all garden hoses so the water doesn’t freeze up in the hose. · Drain lawn sprinkler systems and winterize the system to avoid winter damage. · Drain water out of garden fountains. Remove the pump and store it in a safe place for the winter. If the fountain can be moved into a shed or garage, this will help reduce the chance of freezing water being trapped in the fountain bowls and pools. If the fountain cannot be moved, cover it with a fountain cover bag or a tarp. · Plant hardy fall bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and crocus. · Fertilize existing bulb beds for good bloom quality next spring! · Remove dead garden debris out of the garden. Destroyed diseased or blighted plant material. Healthy plant material can be added to a compost pile.

· Remove leaves off the yard. Leaves can be added to compost piles or tilled into garden beds. · Clean leaves and debris out of house gutters to avoid plugged gutters that could freeze up. · Cut back and winterize rose bushes by Thanksgiving. · Apply a layer of mulch around perennial landscape plants to help insulate them for the winter. · Clean out garden pond pumps so they are ready for next year. If you have fish in the pond, consider installing a water heater to keep the fish alive over the winter. · Remove shallow garden pond plants to a warm location to survive the winter. Deep water garden plants such as water lilies can be set in the deepest part of the pond. · Put away yard furniture in a safe storage place to avoid cracking and winter damage. · Clean all debris and soil from garden tools. A broken piece of brick seems to do a good job of scouring of debris and soil away. Store garden tools to avoid winter damage and rusting.

This is a very short list of potential chores to take care of in the garden or the yard. If you have any questions about these winterizing tips, please send an e-mail to dlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 696-6781, or by contact your local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Office. Have a great week!

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts •

Double Headers

by Lee Pitts

I’ve been trying to breed a three-tailed lamb or a six-legged dog for decades now and haven’t had any luck, and then I hear about some dude in Egypt whose cow gave birth to a double-headed calf. Some guys have all the luck.

Remember as a child going to the circus and giving up a hard-earned quarter to see a sheep with the head of a goat? Or a one ton sow, or a 3,000 pound steer? Freakish animals have been a staple of sideshows and circuses ever since Barnum met Bailey.

I’ve seen two-headed animals in jars of formaldehyde at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and once paid a whole dollar to see a horse with the head of a pig. I was very disappointed with the horse/pig combo for two reasons: #1 because I could see the stitches where the taxidermist did a poor job of attaching the two, and, #2, because I really wanted to believe that it was possible to have a horse that could eat, think and smell like a pig. Oh, I forgot... I already had a horse like that.

Because such freaks of nature don’t pop up often they are extremely valuable. The guy in Egypt says he’s going to keep his two-headed calf but I think he’ll change his mind when he’s offered the $25,000 experts believe it could bring at auction. Qualified veterinarians believe the calf will survive and it could be a real show stopper because each head has its own set of eyes and mouth. I wonder, after its mother takes one look at the calf and runs away do you then

bottle feed each head or just one?

There have been double-headers before.

According to an article by Marc Hartzman such a calf was born in 1936 on a dairy farm in California. The dairyman obviously had the same morbid sense of humor as I do because he named one head Dolly and the other Rolly. All four eyes blinked at once and, get this, Dolly ate the food while Rolly chewed the cud. Tell me that’s not the neatest thing you’ve ever heard!

When it comes to freaks, dairymen have all the luck. I remember reading about a white Holstein and about the only black on her coat was in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head. I heard Disney bought her for a lot of money. I once had a crossbred cow that if you looked real hard and drank enough beer you could see the profile of Abraham Lincoln, but she died and I had to pay Buzzard Bill the tallow man to haul her away.

I should have had all sorts of freaks in my herd because I was too cheap to buy enough bulls, so brothers often bred sisters and fathers their daughters. But the closest I ever came to a “cash cow” was a heifer that walked sideways. She was good for a lot of laughs and was really entertaining to watch until you tried to herd her, or run her up a chute. No one wanted to pay me big bucks for her either, especially the cow buyers who, as we all know, have no appreciation for modern art. They got what they deserved, I’m sure, when they bought her at

auction and then had to unload her out of a truck.

The circuses were also NOT interested in our Berkshire hog that looked like W.C. Fields, or a calf that sounded exactly like Barbra Streisand when it bawled “The Way We Were.” I think circus goers would have really liked a bull we bought that came from Montana. Its tail was half frozen off and when he went to the bathroom I swear he looked exactly like a 1,800 pound German Shorthair pointing for quail.

Kids loved our horse that I could make laugh but we never made a nickel off him and our three legged dog was not born that way but was the result of catching up to the car she was chasing. We once owned a pig that could grunt, eat and wallow in mud all at the same time, which is not all that rare if you’ve ever seen Congress in session. My best chance for immortality though was a deformed carrot that I grew in our garden that looked exactly like an anatomically correct male. I was wiped out financially though when my wife, not realizing the treasure she held in her hands, cut up the carrot and put him in a salad.

A Roadmap for Nebraska’s Future Economic Growth

By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031

Recently we unveiled the findings of a study that provided a detailed look at Nebraska’s business climate. The report was compiled by the country’s foremost researchers of innovation and research.

The study recommended strategies to capitalize on existing resources in our state.

The result provides a roadmap for directing Nebraska’s future economic development. It helps us better understand Nebraska’s strengths and competitive advantages. It highlights opportunities for better collaboration among schools, colleges and businesses. The study also offers ideas for accelerating innovation in communities across our state.

The report was very good news for Nebraska.

Our state has an unusually diverse economy with at least 12 industries positioned for growth. Some of those industries include: renewable energy, transportation-warehousing and logistics companies, hospitality and tourism, food processors, research and development, and the biosciences.

Each of these sectors has a connection to Nebraska’s single largest industry: agriculture.

The study demonstrates the critical role agriculture plays in our economic strength. Other standouts for our state include financial services-relat-

ed firms and computer and software service companies.

Three initiatives were identified as key to our future competitiveness in America’s new economy landscape. The first recommendation is aimed at providing tailored support to encourage development of our growing industries.

The study found that virtually every county in Nebraska has potential for development in the field of hospitality and tourism. One possibility for stimulating new development in this growing industry is to establish a new state park to provide recreation and expanded lodging options for visitors to the central and western parts of our state.

Developing a strong talent pool and connecting talented professionals and recent graduates with high-skill jobs in Nebraska is another strategy for helping advance Nebraska’s strategic growth.

The report recommends developing a paid internship program to help employers recruit and train future staff. Using a portion of our existing job training funds to partner with businesses in establishing a statewide internship program would help employers recruit and train future staff, particularly in specialized fields. Internships provide college-age students with experience and

job training. A statewide program could help connect many of our future graduates with jobs at Nebraska’s highly-skilled and fast-growing companies.

The final set of recommendations involves supporting the innovation and expansion of Nebraska companies. One way to assist Nebraska’s growthoriented companies is to create an angel investment tax credit to attract new investment to innovative start-up ventures or companies ready to expand. This could help entrepreneurs raise the capital they need while providing an incentive for individuals and venture capital firms that invest in Nebraska’s innovators.

Nebraska is fortunate to have so many industries that are strong and that contribute to our economy. It means our opportunities for growth are very diverse. Our challenge is to focus on attracting more specialized and advanced companies within these clusters.

This report provided a comprehensive survey we can use in our efforts to continue building an economy focused on technology and innovation. The feedback we received was positive and will be useful as we begin to develop and implement new proposals.

Small Business: The Backbone of Nebraska

by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725

Anyone who travels through Nebraska can’t help but notice the number of small businesses we have in our state. The number of small employers in Nebraska totals 41,288 according to figures from the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy.

That amounts to nearly 97 percent of all employers in Nebraska and accounts for more than half of our private sector employment.

Backbone of America’s Economy In the past 15 years small businesses have created two-thirds of all new jobs. However, the recession has hit small businesses particularly hard and they are in need of help. Since December 2007 small businesses have lost more than 6 million jobs across our country. The good news is there are things we can do to help turn that around.

One of the major concerns I’ve heard from Nebraska’s small business owners as they come in to visit me is the lack of capital available because of financial institutions’ fear to lend after the recklessness of Wall Street.

Lincoln Office Federal Building, Room 287 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508 Phone: (402) 441-4600 Fax: (402) 476-8753

New Lending Pool This is why the Senate approved a small business jobs package that would include a $30 billion lending pool, so small community banks can extend their lending to small employers in order to unlock capital that has been so scarce.

The bill also provides $12 billion in tax cuts for small businesses that will help create the right economic conditions for small businesses to create as many as 500,000 new jobs.

Some incorrectly called this another bailout but it’s not because it only allows resources to go to healthy community banks, not emergency aid for collapsing big banks that threatened to take our economy down.

To make this small business legislation even more attractive, it pays for itself and does not add to the nation’s debt. The non partisan Congressional Budget Office says the provision will actually create a $1.1 billion surplus that goes back to the treasury.

Besides creating a half million jobs, a $30 billion lending pool, and $12 billion in tax cuts the Small

Business Jobs Act rewards entrepreneurs for investing in new small businesses and helps Main Street businesses compete with large corporations.

Strong Support The bill is really good news for our small businesses, which is why it had the support of the Nebraska Independent Community Bankers, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Independent Community Bankers of America and 28 state community bank associations, the National Small Business Association, the National Association for the Self Employed, Small Business Majority, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, the National Bankers Association and the American Bankers Association. The bill also enjoyed bipartisan support in the Senate and passed on a vote of 61 to 38.

If there is one thing both Democrats and Republicans can agree on, it’s that small businesses are a critical part of our country’s economic engine and the job creators who are going to fuel the recovery.

National Security Over Politics

This is one reason why people are angry at Congress: the Majority party in the Senate has hijacked a bill supporting our military efforts and loaded it with its own social policy initiatives.

With our nation at war; thousands of Americans putting their lives on the line for our freedom and security every day; and our military depending upon its government to provide it with necessary support; such an endeavor is simply indefensible.

This misguided effort is a last gasp to score political points before the November election. That it comes at the expense of our military is a tragedy.

Every year, Congress must pass a Defense Authorization bill to authorize funding for our military efforts around the globe. One would think it's a no-brainer to simply pass the authorization and then focus on other issues like job creation – but when an election is at stake, the Majority has defied common sense. Issues completely unrelated to our national defense, such as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," abortion, and even illegal immigration have

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

been interjected into the bill and turned legislation we can all agree on into a game of politics.

When the debate over "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rose to a boil earlier this year, the Department of Defense initiated an internal review of the policy and pledged to report its findings. To repeal the law before this review can be complete would, in the words of General George Casey, "be seen by the men and women of the Army as a reversal of our commitment to hear their views before moving forward." This has been our military's policy since 1993 and should not be cast aside lightly.

If that were not enough, other social policy changes have been slipped into the bill. If the Defense Authorization were to pass as is, elective abortions would be allowed in military hospitals, overturning policy that has been in place since 1995. Majority Leader Harry Reid has even indicated he will use the defense bill as a vehicle for passing amnesty for certain illegal immigrants – the DREAM Act.

Senator Reid has defended himself by saying these initiatives are in fact related to defense spending. Yet even if that was the case, some of them have yet to even be approved by the relevant Senate committee. The DREAM Act has been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee, not the Armed Services Committee – which ought to say something about how relevant it is to national defense. Little about this disingenuous effort remotely resembles a credible effort at legislating.

Our responsibility to provide support for our troops has turned into a political football, with one side trying to get an unrelated wish list over the goal line before the elections.

There is a time and a place for debating domestic and social policy – saddling it on the backs of our military men and women is not it. Exploiting our troops and everything they stand for to score political points and advance a partisan agenda is not only inappropriate, it is inexcusable.

Schools Go Locally Grown Goal is to Make the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice

By Julie Anderson, The Omaha World-Herald In Omaha's Westside school district, lunch workers have been serving up a who's who of fresh tomatoes: beefsteak, zebra and more.

Also on the menu in August and September were zucchini, cucumbers, watermelon and cantaloupe.

Acorn squash and potatoes will appear this fall.

What the various veggies and fruits have in common is that all were grown locally: the tomatoes in O'Neill, Neb., the zucchini near Fort Calhoun, Neb., and the cucumbers, watermelon and more zucchini in Honey Creek, Iowa.

Locally grown foods are by no means replacing those from distant sources. But more schools in Nebraska and Iowa now are slipping -- a bit at a time -- locally produced foods onto schoolchildren's lunch trays.

Locally grown products are seen as more nutritious because they get from field to plate faster, with less time to lose nutrients. School officials say kids are more likely to try fruits and vegetables if they know where they come from or have a hand in growing or preparing them.

Tapping local markets also creates opportunities for area farmers.

The Omaha Public Schools are making plans to serve Jisa's Farmstead Cheese, made in Brainard, Neb., in December as part of a yearlong educational focus on dairy products.

The Council Bluffs Community School District recently served apples -- some 4,500 of them -grown at Ditmars Orchard in Council Bluffs at its elementary schools.

OPS's Western Hills Magnet Center has a garden and has offered a farmers market, and its Kellom Elementary is building a garden and small

greenhouse. The school has held the first of four after-school farmers markets.

Lincoln and Grand Island schools have purchased locally grown melons through their suppliers, while a Central City, Neb., food service manager goes straight to a local roadside market.

Nationally, more than 10,000 schools now are participating in a farm-to-school program, said Debra Eschmeyer, communications director for the National Farm to School Network, a nonprofit group working to help connect schools with local farmers.

Eschmeyer said data collected indicate that farm-to-school programs increase fruit and vegetable consumption by at least a serving a day.

That has spawned interest in such programs as a tool in fighting childhood obesity.

One piece of a $5.7 million federal grant the Douglas County Health Department received this year will help facilitate a local farm-to-school initiative.

A complementary piece will focus on developing school gardens. A number of area schools and child care centers already have them.

The focus of the grant will be to make the healthy choice the easy choice, whether that's offering fruit with doughnuts at church coffees or installing bike racks, said Mary Balluff, the Health Department's division chief for community health and nutrition services.

The main aim of the farm-to-school portion of the grant is to make it easier for schools to buy local products.

The Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which is leading the farm-to-school portion of the grant, will help schools overcome barriers, said Amy

Yaroch, the center's executive director.

Schools that participate in the federal school lunch program, for example, have to abide by certain purchasing policies, including seeking the best price, she said. But recent changes in federal rules provide ways to specify local products.

It's important for schools to get involved, Yaroch said, because kids spend a good portion of their days there. If kids try something at school, they may ask for it at home.

For now, however, schools largely are growing their own programs. A few are buying directly from growers or producers. Others go through regular distributors or wholesalers who seek out local supplies.

Diane Zipay, nutrition services director in the Westside school district, has spent Sunday mornings at farmers markets, talking with farmers.

She said she feels confident in the safety of the food she's buying because she's purchased produce from the same growers for her own table for years.

But lining up enough to fill out a menu written weeks in advance can be tricky. In addition to serving its own students, Westside's food service operation provides meals for students at 11 parochial and private schools in the area.

At one point, Zipay didn't have enough zucchini.

She had to buy some from another source.

Some fresh, local food items can be a bit more pricey. For those that are, Zipay finds other ways to cut expenses.

To aid its shift, the district also has added some new equipment: a new produce washer at the middle school and small steamers for its elementary schools. Steaming cooks veggies with less nutrient loss than boiling.

October Pork Month Kicks off 3rd Annual Pork and Bean Recipe Contest

Nebraska Hog Inventory Down 5 %

Contest sponsored by the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission and Nebraska Pork Producers Association

Nebraska inventory of all hogs and pigs on September 1, 2010, was 3.15 million head, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. This was down 5 percent from September 1, 2009 but up 2 percent from June 1, 2010. Breeding hog inventory, at 370,000 head, was down 3 percent from September 1, 2009 and unchanged from last quarter. Market hog inventory, at 2.78 million head, was down 5 percent from last year but up 2 percent from last quarter.

The June-August 2010 Nebraska pig crop, at 1.75 million head, was 6 percent below 2009. Sows farrowing during the period totaled 170,000 head, down 8 percent from last year.

Nebraska hog producers intend to farrow 180,000 sows during the September-November 2010 quarter, up 3 percent from the actual farrowings during the same period a year ago. Intended farrowings for December 2010-February 2011 are 175,000 sows, up 3 percent from the actual farrowings during the same period the previous year.

Nebraska pork producers and dry bean growers know there’s a new crop of mouthwatering recipes combining the great taste of pork and beans stashed away in drawers and cupboards across the state. But they’ll make it worth your while to share: A $1,000 grand prize in the New Pork & Beans Recipe Challenge.

“Today’s pork is leaner than ever, while dry beans are a great source of low-fat fiber and protein,” said Jane Reeson of the Nebraska Pork Producers Association. “People have combined the two for ages to create flavorful and nutritious meals, and we’re excited to have the chance to try some new favorites.”

To enter the contest, which is sponsored and organized by the Nebraska Pork Producers Association and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission, recipes must use either boneless pork loin or tenderloin and any dry edible bean, canned or dry-packaged.

“Nebraska is the country’s top producer of

great northern beans and a leading producer of pinto, light red kidney, black and navy beans,” said Lynn Reuter of the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission. “I’ve no doubt there are many recipes combining these dry edible beans and pork that have been updated, created and tweaked in family kitchens across the state. We’d love to have a taste.”

In addition to the $1,000 grand prize, the runner-up will receive $500 and the second place winner will receive $250. Culinary students from Southeast Community College in Lincoln will prepare the top selections to be judged by a panel made up of culinary instructors, chefs, NPPA staff and pork producers.

Recipes must be typed and postmarked on or before December 15 All entries should be sent to Lynn Reuter, Nebraska Dry Bean Commission, 4502 Ave. I, Scottsbluff, NE 69361, or to Jane Reeson, Nebraska Pork Producers Association, Box 277, Giltner, NE 68841.

Corn trade has been lower this week due to position squaring ahead of the Thursdays USDA report. The weekly net change was 8 lower on the December contract. The USDA Quarterly Grain and Stocks report was released on Thursday, which should keep trade active near-term. The September 1 corn stocks number, which is also going to be the latest old crop carryover number, came in at 1.7 billion bushels which was 300 thousand bushels higher than the average trade guess. This has created some liquidation that could lead to follow through selling. Nearby support on the December chart should be seen from $4.60-70. If the crop size gets smaller and ethanol margins stay positive then we should take another shot at the highs within the next few weeks. The EIA reported today that the July US ethanol production was a record 1.116 billion gals. They estimated that the industry consumed 399 million bushels of corn this month which was up 17% from this time a year ago.

Ethanol inventories also declined to 747 million gallons, which was down 4.4% from June. The crop progress had mature corn at 85% versus the 65% 5year average and 35% last year. Harvest progress was at 27% versus 6% last year and the 15% 5-year average. Crop conditions were down 2% to 66% good to excellent which is also 2% lower than last year. As long as the weather dries out harvest progress should be big through the first two weeks of October. We could be close to 2/3rds complete.

Crop ratings were steady at 68% good to excellent.

The weekly export sales were reported at 925,900 tons, which was above expectations. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade is lower this week due to profit taking by market longs. The weekly net change is 37 lower on the Chicago contract. Improved Russian weather forecasts and spillover pressure from corn have been noted for the weakness. The Ukraine Prime Minister commented that the government will consider wheat export quotas or embargoes over the next few weeks in an attempt to fight rising food costs there. The USDA Quarterly grain report was neutral for wheat. All wheat output was reported at 2.22 billion bushels versus expectations of 2.26 billion, but wheat stocks came in at 2.459 billion versus expectations of 2.43 billion. The weekly export sales were 630,800 tons of old crop, but new crop 2011/12 saw net cancellations of 2,500 tons. The crop progress report listed winter wheat plantings at 33% versus the 38% 5-year average. The spring wheat harvest was listed at 89% complete versus the 98% 5-year average.

The slow spring wheat harvest is due to moisture which is keeping the winter wheat plantings slow; this may lead to fewer HRW wheat acres for our 2011 production year. This should support KC versus Chicago. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has been lower this week due to spillover pressure from the corn and wheat markets. The weekly net change is 16 lower on November beans. Early yield expectations remain positive which may lead to selling interest nearterm, but index fund reallocation could still put additional money into the bean market once profits are taken on corn and wheat. The USDA September 1 stocks number came in at 151 million which was as expected. The bean report was neutral, but the negative corn report may pull beans lower. The World Vegoil conference over the weekend raised expected world demand by 7 million tons. This should continue to support the soy oil market, which should also limit downside in the bean complex. The crop progress listed 77% of the crop dropping leaves versus the 72% 5-year average. The harvested number was at 17% versus the 13% 5-year average. Crop conditions were unchanged at 63% good to excellent. The weekly export sales were reported at 1.73 million tons for the 10/11 year, which was above expectations. Meal sales came in at 12,500 tons for old crop and 10/11 sales were at 95,100 tons. Oil sales were reported at -3,600 tons of old crop and new crop sales were 80,600 tons. Hedgers call with questions.

LLNRD Irrigation Proposals Getting Word Soon

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Lower Loup Natural Resources District farmers who applied to add irrigated acres in 2011 may know as early as the Oct. 28 NRD board meeting if their proposals are accepted.

Board members were told at their meeting Thursday in Ord that applications have been received to irrigate about 11,000 new acres, LLNRD General Manager Leon Koehlmoos said.

That compares with 12,925 acres submitted last fall for irrigation in 2010. The 41 applications approved totaled 2,003 acres, with parcels ranging from 4-132 acres and small adjustments on already certified irrigated acres to full pivots.

The application period for 2011 was Sept. 1-20.

The LLNRD staff has started ranking applications, which will be pared to the 2,000 acres allowed.

"I know we'll definitely beat that Dec. 1 timetable" to approve the new acres, Koehlmoos said. He won't be surprised if the list is ready for

board approval on Oct. 28.

Tuesday, the directors were shown how an application is run through a ranking system model.

Koehlmoos said that for the 2010 acres, weight was given to river depletion factors. That meant more points were awarded for land farther from streams.

This year, the points for soil types were doubled.

He said the goal is to get land that is more level and has soils better suited for irrigation.

"We are going to better soils than we did last year and slightly closer to streams," Koehlmoos said, explaining that some new irrigated acres approved for 2010 are on pretty rough ground.

He said last fall's applications were scattered across the district, which includes northern Buffalo, most of Custer and all of Sherman counties in Hub Territory. There seems to be more new applications for the eastern part of the district, which runs to Columbus.

The expansion of irrigated acres is possible because the Loup and Elkhorn basins haven't

been designated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources as fully appropriated. A moratorium on new wells remains in place within the LLNRD, but the board decided in 2009 to allow development of up to 10,000 new irrigated acres over four years.

In other business, the board approved minor rule changes for a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 28 during the regular board meeting at the LLNRD's Ord office. Koehlmoos said the biggest issue is to include a definition of "water banking" in the rules.

He also reported that repairs were completed on the Big Slough drop structure south of Dannebrog.

A concrete block chute was replaced with sheet piling 80 feet wide across the waterway.

Koehlmoos said there was some damage to the structure in 2009 and more with this year's spring and summer flooding. The LLNRD's contributions to the project done with Howard County were about $12,400 and in-kind services.

Platte Valley WMA Project Coordinator Rich Walters said the water is too high now to do that kind of work, which was planned for the main channel in western Buffalo and eastern Dawson counties upstream of Elm Creek. However, some contractors are making progress on side channels.

Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation District officials plan to continue water releases from Lake McConaughy for optimum generation at downstream hydropower plants. That's expected to result in higher river flows all winter.

"Mother Nature may take care of some of that (vegetation removal) with the high water flows," Kincaid said.

Meanwhile, he and Walters have patrolled the South Loup River in recent weeks scouting for phragmites, determining if what's found is native or non-native, and spraying non-native phragmites and any purple loosestrife found in the channel or upland areas.

Kincaid said an area from Boelus east to Custer County was covered last week. "We're probably done in Buffalo County and now ready to go into Custer County," he said.

Helicopters were used to survey the South Loup for invasive plants. "We're seeing a lot more up close," Kincaid said.

When the South Loup is finished, he expects that similar inspections will be done in the Middle and North Loup basins.

However, weather didn't allow spraying in two gaps, one in Keith County and a section between Gibbon and Wood River. Those areas were finished within the past three weeks, Kincaid said.

Airboat patrols are catching smaller infestations of phragmites that couldn't be sprayed by helicopters because of power lines, an overstory of trees or crops growing near the riverbank, he said.

"It's the nooks and crannies where you don't want (herbicide) drift or don't have access," Kincaid said.

Aden and Linder use Platte River water to mix the aquatic-safe Habitat herbicide in tanks on the airboat. Spraying on riverbanks and small sandbars can be done from the boat. On larger sandbars, they use a long hose stored on a boatmounted reel.

"We spray anything from the bank to 200 to 300 feet off the bank," Aden said Wednesday morning, as long as weather conditions, particularly wind speed and direction, allow.

The team has worked between Gibbon and the Minden bridge for the past two weeks. They just started on the segment from Minden to Kearney, which is expected to take another two weeks.

Aden said the high water levels in the Platte are helping them. "We're able to get down some channels we weren't able to get to in the last year or two," he said.

The water conditions aren't favorable to mechanically removing phragmites sprayed last

At the same time, the district also has added more local suppliers for a variety of other products, including bread and cereal. It also has begun cooking more items from scratch: cookies and other baked goods, chicken tenders to serve with lo mein noodles and pork butts for barbecue.

Garden Fresh Vegetables in O'Neill so far has made a couple of 500-pound deliveries of fresh tomatoes to Westside. And the produce company would like to add more schools to the list of restaurants and grocery stores it supplies, said John McGuire, sales manager.

It's good for kids, he said, and it creates jobs in the metropolitan area and in O'Neill. Garden Fresh, which also operates the Tomato, Tomäto retail store near 156th Circle and West Center Road, expects to double its greenhouse capacity from 10 acres to 20 acres by December.

Jody Fritz, who works for and owns an interest in Garden Fresh, is particularly excited to see the greenhouses' products in schools. Her daughters, Sylvia, 8, and Madeline, 6, attend Trinity Christian School, one of those catered by Westside.

Trinity's hot lunch is served by volunteers, so she's the lunch lady once a month. "For them, there's obviously the novelty of Hey, those are our tomatoes.' " But it's also more like what they eat at home.

"It just works on so many levels," Fritz said. "For producers, for people who are eating the food."

Nebraska Youth Beef Leadership Symposium The eighth annual Nebraska Youth Beef Leadership Symposium, Nov. 20-22 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, will introduce Nebraska high school students to beef industry careers, current issues and an opportunity to use their leadership skills in a product development activity.

In addition, four $500 scholarships for UNL's College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources will be presented.

The three-day symposium, geared toward Nebraska high school juniors and seniors, features presentations on goal setting, leadership development, food safety and international beef promotions, said Dennis Brink, UNL animal scientist. Students also will experience presentations in beef quality assurance and the latest meat science technologies.

"This educational symposium will give students hands-on presentations on innovative cattle pro-

duction practices and a variety of other opportunities from marketing to networking with sponsors and panel members," Brink said.

A career opportunity discussion and banquet will be the evening of Nov. 21. Several people working in different segments of the beef industry will give their perspectives on the importance of a college education and the variety of career opportunities. Numerous career areas within the beef industry will be represented by the panel members.

A marketing project will allow students to take on the role of a national retailer or restaurant chain. Students will be responsible for creating a new beef product and designing a final marketing plan presentation.

"NYBLS is a great opportunity and experience you can't afford to miss, even if you are remotely interested in animal science, and livestock, especially beef cattle. It's a great way to meet new

friends who are interested in the same things you are, and get to know the Animal Science Faculty at UNL too. I've had an amazing time at NYBLS and met some great people," said Kyle Clymer, a past NYBLS participant.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Identifying Profitable Characteristics of Steer Calves To Be Retained

A recent study done by the Department of Agricultural Economics, University of NebraskaLincoln, investigates the predictive power of physical characteristics exhibited by steer calves, at and prior to weaning, on profits associated with weaned calf retention. Historically, retained ownership of beef cattle calves owned from birth through the finishing stage of production by a single owner, has been found to be a profitable endeavor for cow-calf producers. Despite these findings, observed evidence indicates many producers choose not to retain ownership. Three reasons that may explain this include tradition, cash flow needs of the business and risk. Producers who choose to retain ownership of their cattle face the risk of volatile markets and production challenges. This investigation explores the possibility that cow-calf producers may be able to mitigate a portion of these risks by selectively screening calves with specific physical characteristics.

The driving logic behind this study is that physical characteristics of calves are commonly expected to predict physical performance. Given that this expectation is true, physical performance contributes to and is one determinant of profitability.

From an economic perspective, information in this market relative to animal characteristic is asymmetric. Cow-calf producers may have a distinct advantage over others in the marketing chain with respect to information specific to their animals, information that relates to performance.

These producers have direct access and are familiar with information about their calves, such as birth weight, dam size, weaning size and date, age and any other information they choose to collect.

Several methods are designed to exploit the information asymmetry between cow-calf producers and the downstream supply chain.

Brian Williams, Ph.D. Student Department of Agricultural Economics, Oklahoma State University

Animal information used in this study are from March born Husker Red steer calves owned by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, weaned at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory (GSL) near Whitman, Nebraska, and fed out as slaughter cattle at the University’s West Central Research and Extension Center (WCREC) in North Platte, Nebraska. This study only considers calf-feds; steers are typically taken to slaughter in June, where all carcass data is recorded. UNL is able to control quality, and markets these slaughter animals on a grid system.

Input information for the various cost and revenues were obtained from the USDA-AMS, Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC), actual values paid at the WCREC, Dawson County Extension office, Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments report and the Cattle Fax database.

Two marketing schemes, a live cattle and a grid pricing system, are used to determine if various physical characteristics of calves are predictive of profitability.

Results While not part of the actual study, it was found that for most of the years covered by the study, 2003–2007, calf retention was more profitable than selling at weaning. This fact does not consider other methods of sale, such as pre-conditioning, yearling or anything in-between.

The important indicators for profitability for the live slaughter cattle market scheme include the physical characteristic of birth weight, weaning weight and weaning age. Birth weight and weaning weight are found to have a positive effect on profitability, while weaning age is negative. Other non-physical characteristics that affected profits are corn prices and differences in cattle market conditions by year. The corn price coefficient is negative, consistent with reduced profits from increasing corn prices. The years 2004 to 2006 have a negative effect, making these years reduced in profit relative to 2007.

The grid pricing scheme is found to be somewhat different, which is surprising given that grid pricing considers more variables in developing a value. Birth weight is found to be the only physi-

cal characteristic statistically associated with profit prediction. This characteristic is positively associated with profit. The other variables, including corn prices and years has a similar effect as the live slaughter pricing scheme. Interestingly, the grid price scheme model was not as powerful a predictor of profit, possibly indicating that information is missing from the model. It may be that information from the sire, such as found in an EPD, would be beneficial.

Discussion Calves’ birth weights affect profitability in both live and grid marketing retained ownership scenarios. The birth weights influence cost and revenue factors, with the revenue factors overpowering the cost factors, on average, for the years considered here. Larger birth weights are often associated with larger cows, and ultimately larger carcass weights, which increase revenues.

The two other physical effects found to affect profit for the live market scheme are weaning age and weight. Weaning age is negatively associated with profits, which may be caused by increased opportunity costs and the effects of age and maturity on efficiency. Weaning weight has a positive effect, making heavier calves more profitable than light calves, given all other factors are equal.

Heavier calves are likely the faster growing, with larger frames.

Conclusions Information asymmetry in the beef cattle supply chain is used as a hypothesis to explore retained ownership options for cow-calf operators. The methods developed investigate the predictive power of calves physical characteristics, observed up to and including weaning, by cow-calf producers on profitability. Two marketing regimes are explored: a grid-based market and a live-slaughter weight market.

Profitability is improved by ranking and selecting calves based on models developed in this research for specified years for the GSL calves. In general, the live marketing scheme model suggests that a calf with a larger birth weight and heavier weaning weight, weaned at a relatively young age, has the best profit potential for retention. It is possible that additional information about the calf ’s genetic potential and health might increase the accuracy and success of the models suggested here.

It is reaffirmed that calf characteristics are not the only contributors to profitability. Both input costs and revenue related to prices play major roles in overall profitability of retained calf profits versus weaned calf profits. This study limits the analysis to steers, but could be extended to heifers. A copy of the complete study and results are available from the authors.

Lean hog trade is sharply lower this week due to profit taking by market longs. Cash trade is called steady for the remainder of the week. Processing margins have narrowed this week, but chain speed is expected to remain constant. Hog weights are averaging 1.3 pounds larger than a year ago and 3.8 pounds larger than the 3-year average; the increased tonnage should work to limit upside. On the October chart, the trade closed below the 20day yesterday at $77.91. Support is down at $76.70 which is the 40-day moving average. Resistance is up at $79.50-$80.

Demand on native grass hay is good, especially for customers that wean calves. Ground and delivered alfalfa trending mostly steady. Dehy pellets (17%) sold steady. Buyer inquiry is starting to increase on pellets. Nebraska Department of Agriculture has a hay and forage directory available, for the directory visit http://www.agr.state.ne.us/hayhot/hayhotline.htm.
