WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack today unveiled highly anticipated new programs to help farmers better manage risk, ushering in one of the most significant reforms to U.S. farm programs in decades. Vilsack also announced that new tools are now available to help

provide farmers the information they need to choose the new safety net program that is right for their business. "The 2014 Farm Bill represented some of the largest farm policy reforms in decades. One of the Farm Bill's most significant reforms is finally taking effect," said Vilsack. "Farming is one of the riskiest

Activities to Help Me Grow! Lisa Poppe, UNL Extension Educator I want to help my child learn and be ready for school, but sometimes I feel like the day is so busy I can’t fit in one more thing! Do you have ideas for activities we can do together that won’t take extra time? Every day errands and chores are a great time to involve your child and help them learn and grow. Parents and caregivers often think they need to use computer software, videos, or workbooks for “learning” but actually, young children learn from every day experiences and learn best when they are involved in hands on activities. Plus, they love to help and be part of what you are doing. Here are some ideas to help you get started with suggestions for different ages of children. Talk about what you are doing. It may feel funny at first, especially with a small infant or toddler who cannot talk back to you or ask questions. Try to pretend you are on a cooking or “do it yourself” show while your infant or toddler is watching you or playing by your side. You can describe the actions you are doing while cooking or working in the garden. Describe what you see around you as you are driving in the car or at the grocery store. Your child is learning new words and concepts just by hearing you talk. Read signs and words around you. Children learn that printed words carry a message from the signs and words that are in their world. Try pointing out the signs of familiar stores, traffic signs, and signs with information. You might be surprised at how quickly your child learns to point out “S-T-O-P Stop!” Through these experiences, children learn that letters come together to form words

and these words carry a message…key things for readers to know! Laundry time is math time? Even toddlers can sort out all of the socks from a basket of laundry. Preschoolers may be able to match the socks into pairs. Young children can fold simple things like pillow cases, washcloths, and towels. Try giving your child their own little basket and asking them to sort or fold a certain type of laundry. They are learning early math skills of classification, shapes, fractions, (learning to fold in halves and quarters) and building their sense of competence as they help you. Dusting, picking up, and direction following? Try giving your child a damp rag and asking them to dust certain surfaces. Make it a game by giving interesting directions… “Can you dust three things that are green? Can you pick up all of the purple blocks and put them in the basket?” Then encourage your child to look for furniture or the toys that you have described. Being able to follow directions and use clues are both important early learning skills. Children may be motivated when you make a job a game. Let’s watch things grow together! Your child will enjoy working by your side in the garden. They may enjoy planting seedlings or flowers with you. They can learn important science skills about their natural world when working by your side. A small child sized rake can be fun to use in the fall. Children can help bag leaves, pickup sticks, and dig up weeds in the garden if you show them how to identify plants that are weeds. Work and play side by side with your child and they will be learning every day!

Humus Composting Todd D. Whitney UNL – Hamilton County Extension Educator Composting can be an excellent method to improve soil health. However, both gardeners and crop producers should use best management practices to maximize the benefits of composting, and this is accomplished through increasing soil humus. Although the % soil organic matter (SOM) test has usually been the standard soil quality measurement, this test includes both the stable (humus) and unstable organic components (plant/animal residue & decomposing parts) within soil. So, if the goal is to build field % soil organic matter, then the focus should be increasing stable humus production. Humus is the stable carbon chains within organic matter. Compared to other organic components, humus holds twice as much moisture as the other decomposing (active) soil parts and provides the stable structure for soil microbes. When coated around plant roots, the humus can trigger plants to harvest more nitrogen from air with less reliance on root nutrient absorption; thus increasing plant water use efficiency. Further, humus composting results from the right mixture of clay, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, pH, temperature and water. Research indicates that compost piles (windrows) reach the highest humus production when the overall mixture has 10% clay content. Next, the ratio of carbon to nitrogen in a plant and/or animal residues used for the mixture must be considered. The ideal carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio is between 25:1 and 30:1. This means that there is 20 to 35 times more carbon in the pile than there is nitrogen. When the C:N ratio

is greater, then it takes too long for the pile to compost and less stable humus is formed. Conversely, if the ratio is below 20:1, the excess nitrogen leaves the pile as ammonia or nitrous oxides, thus also lowering stable humus production. For back yard composting: 1 part brown tree leaves (C:N ratio = 54:1) can be layered with 3 parts green grass clippings (C:N ratio = 17:1) to form a target C:N mixture 26:1 ratio. For beef manure composting: 7 parts cattle manure (C:N ratio = 19:1) can be mixed with 1 part corn stalks (C:N ratio = 65:1) to form a target C:N mixture 25:1 ratio. For swine manure composting: 3 ½ parts swine manure (C:N ratio = 14:1) can be mixed with 1 part corn stalks (C:N ratio = 65:1) to form a target C:N mixture 25:1. The target temperature for the compost piles is 130°F which might require turning the pile and mixing in water 5 times during the 8 to 12 weeks composting process. Target moisture content should be between 50 and 60% (moist like a rung out sponge). The compost should glisten with moisture; but when a handful is picked up and squeezed, there should not be any water dripping from the material. Too much moisture will deplete oxygen needed by the microbes. So, if the pile becomes anaerobic and starts producing an odor, the pile likely needs turned for more oxygen. Overall, the target pH is 6.5 to 8.0. More information regarding humus composting is available through our UNL Extension website http://cropwatch.unl.edu ; our UNL – Hamilton County Extension office by calling 402-694-6174 or through your local UNL Extension office.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Road Rage by Lee Pitts

The clean-cut boys and girls in their blue and gold FFA jackets make me so proud to be a former member. That was certainly the case when I saw on the front page of my weekly copy of the Voice News of Hickman, Nebraska, FFA members from the Freeman Chapter harvesting over 1,000 pounds of tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn, beans, cantaloupe, cucumbers and zucchini that they gave to needy area residents and food pantries. Although I’m quite sure the zucchini was probably later returned under the cover of darkness. They also grew something called swiss chard and kale, which in my gardening days were known as weeds! Most FFA chapters have such activities where they strive to make their community a better place to live. And I salute them. In our town our big community effort was the annual roadside cleanup. This was back in the day when motorists thought nothing of opening the car window to empty their trash. So it was a big job and we were aided by Lions Club members who drove the trucks we filled with trash. I must admit, I dreaded the day because it was a lot of hard work and I almost picked up a rattlesnake one time. But my Grandpa lived for roadside cleanup, although my Grandmother definitely didn’t. Just the words "roadside cleanup" were enough to

make her break down and sob for she knew that if anything "good" was found it would end up in her house. Probably in the living room. There is a big park named for my Grandpa in my town because he put on rodeos to build it. He was Chief of our volunteer fire department for decades, Honorary Chapter Farmer and a stalwart of our community, except on this day when his behavior was somewhat suspect. He voted himself the Inspector General and it was he who performed the mandatory check on every truck so that he might redirect it to his house if he found any “keepers” that were worthy of his museum. We picked up a lot of flat tires and flotation cushions that flew out of boats. We also picked up Studebaker hubcaps and chromed car graffiti that would be worth a fortune today on eBay. We also found some weird stuff like a chicken coop (empty) and handgun (not empty). We even found a watch that had probably followed a beer can out the window when the passenger threw it. Speaking of beer, that's mostly what we picked up, empty cans of Olympia, Falstaff, Schlitz and Pabst Blue Ribbon. We found prophylactics (unused), baby diapers (used), bed springs, tire irons and broken car jacks, no doubt flung aside by an angry motorist. Once we even found a

garbage disposal, which seems redundant. There were broken Thermos bottles and furniture that my Grandpa just couldn’t abide being trashed. We even found a bunch of mail once that must have been discarded by a lazy postman who wanted to take the rest of the day off. It only took one day a year for us FFA members to know all the town secrets because we had looked through its collective trash. The biggest prizes for my Grandpa were license plates and he had quite a collection. Although he was a little overaggressive and premature in one instance when a driver who couldn’t wait for the next rest stop came out of an orchard after answering nature's call and found Grandpa unscrewing the license plates on his old and battered Chevy Nova. Talk about road rage! Grandpa was also constantly on the lookout for road signs and he always claimed to have only taken ones that were laying on the ground, although in some cases he had to lean mighty hard on the post to get them there. I am constantly reminded of the all good being done by FFA chapters all across the country because I inherited most of my Grandpa's belongings and if it wasn't for FFA roadside cleanup, my wife and I would be living in an unfurnished house.

Thistle Control Durning October Bruce Anderson, UNL Forage Specialist It’s thistle time again. Even if they are hard to see, this is the time to control them. Timing is everything. That's particularly true with thistle control. And October to early November is one of the best times to use herbicides. Did you have thistles this year? If so, walk out in those infected areas this week. Look close. I'll bet you find many thistle seedlings. Most thistle seedlings this fall will be small, in a flat, rosette growth form, and they are very sensitive now to

certain herbicides. So spray this fall and thistles will not be a big problem next year. Several herbicides are effective and recommended for thistle control. Several newer herbicides like ForeFront, Milestone, and Chaparral are very effective. Two other very effective herbicides are Tordon 22K and Grazon. Be careful with all these herbicides, but especially Tordon and Grazon, since they also can kill woody plants, including trees you might want to keep. 2,4-D also works well while it’s warm, but you will get better thistle control by using a little less 2,4-

D and adding a small amount of Banvel or dicamba to the mix. Other herbicides also can control thistles in pastures – like Redeem, Cimarron, and Curtail. No matter which weed killer you use, though, be sure to read and follow label instructions, and be sure to spray on time. Next year, avoid overgrazing your pastures so your grass stands get thicker and compete with any new thistle seedlings. Give some thought now to thistle control during October and November. Your pastures can be cleaner next spring.

USDA UNVEILS KEY NEW PROGRAMS TO HELP FARMERS MANAGE RISK Continued from page 1 paid farmers in good years and bad, these new initiatives are based on market forces and include county - and individual - coverage options. These reforms provide a much more rational approach to helping farmers manage risk." The new programs, Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC), are cornerstones of the commodity farm safety net programs in the 2014 Farm Bill, legislation that ended direct payments. Both programs offer farmers protection when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices and/or revenues. Producers will have through early spring of 2015 to select which program works best for their businesses. To help farmers choose between ARC and PLC, USDA helped create online tools that allow farmers to enter information about their operation and see projections about what each

program will mean for them under possible future scenarios. The new tools are now available at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc. USDA provided $3 million to the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) at the University of Missouri and the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M (co-leads for the National Association of Agricultural and Food Policy), along with the University of Illinois (lead for the National Coalition for Producer Education) to develop the new programs. "We're committed to giving farmers as much information as we can so they can make an informed decision between these programs," said Vilsack. "These resources will help farm owners and producers boil the information down, understand what their options are, and ultimately make the best decision on which choice is right for them. We are very grateful to our partners for

their phenomenal work in developing these new tools within a very short time frame." Starting Monday, Sept. 29, 2014, farm owners may begin visiting their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices if they want to update their yield history and/or reallocate base acres, the first step before choosing which new program best serves their risk management needs. Letters sent this summer enabled farm owners and producers to analyze their crop planting history in order to decide whether to keep their base acres or reallocate them according to recent plantings. The next step in USDA's safety net implementation is scheduled for this winter when all producers on a farm begin making their election, which will remain in effect for 2014-2018 crop years between the options offered by ARC and PLC.

Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Fall Irrigation

October 2, 2014

Wayne Meyer's Been Ranching for Nearly 30 Years Tracy Overstreet, The Grand Island Independent RURAL CAIRO — Wayne Meyer's been ranching for nearly 30 years. He checks on the herd at least twice a day — filling feed bins at one visit and water troughs the next. He closely monitors the herd's breeding — keeping meticulous records of parents and offspring, colors and gender. And Meyer dotes on his herd — giving each a daily raisin and baths in volcanic ash at least once every five days. Yes, raisins and volcanic ash. Meyer is a chinchilla rancher. "I just love animals," said the jovial Meyer, whose cattle can be heard lowing in outside pens and homing pigeons cooing in a nearby shed after a hawk chased them from their perch on a grain bin. His hand in raising chinchillas all started years ago when daughter, Sherry, continually brought home report cards one grade shy of perfect. She was just a second grader, so Meyer used the power of reward to motivate her. "I told her when she gets all A's, I'd get her a chinchilla," Meyer smiled. The next semester, Smokey, a standard grey chinchilla, was added to the Meyer household. "We had to close all the doors in a room when we let him out because he was so fast," said Meyer's wife, Diane. Soon, Sherry and sister, Wendy, had Smokey trained to take a raisin by hand. Smokey would even sit atop a tiny chair to get the daily treat. Meyer had acquired some older breeding chinchillas with Smokey and so turned one of his farm outbuildings, formerly used for sheep and goats, into a temperature-controlled comfort zone for chinchillas, native to the Andes Mountains. He assembled 2-feet-by-3-feet cages for the plump rodents with bushy tails and constructed a water tubing system that could serve each individual housing unit. While females reside in each individual hut, the breeder males have a run behind the huts, with an access door that Meyer can control.

On the front of each cage, Meyer keeps an intricate log about that individual animal, including age, color and breeding history. He has chinchillas in a variety of colors — the standard greys, a tan-colored beige mosaic, a darker grey called ebony and a light-grey called violet. A multi-colored chinchilla with white and gray and black is a favorite of Diane's. "She told me I can't sell this one," Meyer said, carefully lifting the chinchilla. All color aside, it is the chinchilla's coat that makes the animal so unique. It is luxuriously soft — described by some as velvetlike. It is softer than the softest puppy or kitten. At one time, Meyer sold some of his chinchillas to pelters — but no more. All his animals now are sold to major pet stores for pets. While he used to have several hundred chinchillas, his herd now is about 150 and he sells off about 50 at a time, after the babies are weened. "This one is just two days old," Meyer said holding up a furry golf-ball sized baby. "They are born fully-furred, with eyes open." Meyer also hand selects a chinchilla each year to go to his wife's fifth-grade classroom at Knickrehm. During the fall semester, her students study about chinchillas and how to care for them. After they have properly researched the animal, she brings one in to share as class pet until Christmas time. "They really enjoy it," Diane Meyer said. "It's something that lasts in their memories." During the second semester, she asks Meyer for a pregnant chinchilla. He calculates the 111-day gestation cycle and gives her a chinchilla that will give birth in about six to eight weeks. The

students then get to name the chinchilla and all her babies using a democratic voting process. "They really enjoy watching the chinchilla dust," Diane Meyer said. The dusting is something the chinchillas do naturally, Meyer said. Chinchillas like to be dry. The volcanic ash helps remove moisture from their fur. He simply puts a pan of the dust, purchased from a volcanic ash vein that is mined in Norton, Kan., into their cage and the chinchilla hops in and circles over sideways into the pan causing the dust to fly up into a tiny cloud. "They look so much better after they dust," Meyer smiled. Then he shook a tall box of raisins and hundreds of little nocturnal eyes popped open and looked eagerly out as Meyer walked from cage to cage handing out the sweet treat. Chinchillas have no claws and easily grab the raisin in small padded paws. "They're a very low maintenance pet," Meyer said. "They are quiet and clean and don't eat much." And they are oh so soft.

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

The Nebraska FFA Association was the sixth state chartered by the National FFA Organization in 1928. The Association has a current membership of over 7,300 members in 157 chapters. Nebraska FFA members are enrolled in agricultural education courses, conduct a Supervised Agricultural Experience Program and can participate in a variety of FFA competitions and activities. Nebraska FFA Association is led by the state officer team - seven students who are freshman & sophomores in college serving as president, secretary and five vice presidents. In addition, adult guidance and leadership is provided by the state Executive Director and Agricultural Education Director. This is a very exciting time for Nebraska FFA. The Association is experiencing growth, new opportunities for its members and increasing support from the community, business and industry and former members. The annual State FFA Convention is held each spring in conjunction with the State Career Development Events. Over 3,500 FFA members attend the convention each year. Over 4,000 members, advisors, parents and guests participating in convention activities including sessions, workshops, Career Fair, leadership academy, interviews and Leadership Skills Events. Nebraska FFA provides leadership development opportunities for members. These include: COLT Conference (Chapter Officer Leadership Training), NPower Conference, IMPACT Workshops, State Officer Chapter Visits and Made For Excellence/Advanced Leadership Development. Leadership workshops, sessions and academies are also offered during State FFA Convention. There is a place for you in agriculture and Nebraska FFA! Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agriculture education students will be the leaders and innovators of the futureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;responsible for ensuring a safe and stable food and fiber supply for the growing world.

I Believe in the Future of Ag fundraising campaign kicks off with matching funds LINCOLN – October marks the beginning of the annual I Believe in the Future of Ag fundraising campaign. This campaign helps local FFA chapters raise money for innovative projects in their classrooms, leadership programming, community service projects and field trips to advance agriculture education in their schools. The Nebraska FFA Foundation, along with twenty corporate sponsors, will provide extra incentives to participating FFA chapters. This year, $24,000 in matching funds will be distributed to chapters proportionate to the percentage of dollars raised. “In 2050, today’s students will be feeding the world and they’re learning that in their agricultural education classes today,” says Stacey Agnew, Nebraska FFA Foundation Executive Director. “I’d like to challenge everyone in Nebraska to donate something to their local agricultural education program and FFA chapter. Whether it’s $10 or $500, it’ll make a difference.” The campaign runs through January 31, 2015. For more information, go to www.neffa foundation.org or contact your local FFA chapter. The mission of the Nebraska FFA Foundation is to enhance quality agricultural education/FFA programs in order to achieve excellence in leadership development, curriculum innovation and scholastic advancement of students.

Nebraska Agricultural Education and FFA Sets All-Time Record . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The 2014-15 school year is a landmark year for schools offering instruction in agriculture, food and natural resources, as more schools and students are engaged in the program than ever before in Nebraska. With the addition of eight schools that have added the program this fall, there are now 157 schools offering agricultural education and FFA as a career and college preparation program to their students. This equates to 59

percent of all Nebraska high schools offering instruction to prepare students for Nebraska’s largest industry. In total, over 13,000 students enroll in at least one agricultural course in Nebraska high schools, with many taking multiple courses each year. Of those, just over 7,100 also choose to be members of the National FFA Organization (formerly known as Future Farmers of America), a student

leadership organization emphasizing career readiness in agriculture, food and natural resource based-industries. The 2013-14 membership numbers are also a record for the state, and state leadership expects to break this record again given the new programs and increased student interest. So what is causing the increase? Many factors are likely at play, including a strong and stable agriculture economy. State leadership started to see an uptick in interest during the fallout of the 2008 recession from parents, community members, agribusiness, school administrators and boards of education. While the recession certainly affected businesses and families in Nebraska, it’s fair to say that Nebraska may have been somewhat insulated by the effect, given the strength of the agriculture industry in recent years. The result of this, state leadership believes, is that parents, students and others have

come to realize the immense demand for young people to enter the agriculture industry and realize that there are many, many good jobs in agriculture beyond farming and ranching. In fact, there are over 300 different careers/occupations that contribute to the growing list of opportunities in the industry. According to a USDA study, each year the agriculture industry needs to hire over 54,400 college graduates with agriculture-related degrees. The problem is that only 29,300 are annually available, leaving a huge gap for talented students to find good careers. (USDA Employment Opportunities for College Graduates, 2010). For these reasons, also consider the forecast that our planet will breach 9 billion people by 2050 (up from 2.5 billion people in 1950). This will occur when current high school students are at the height of their career, meaning that demand in the agriculture, food and natural resources-related fields will not go away.

She loves to applique, paint, embroider, knit, make dolls and read. Sandra will be sharing her story with her quilts and dolls with mini lectures during the show. Quilters from across the state of Nebraska will showcase over 150 quilts at this event. The NSQG raffle quilt will be on display as well as opportunity quilts from other guilds.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Effects of a Freeze on Forages Bruce Anderson, UNL Forage Specialist If you haven’t experienced a freeze yet this fall, you soon will. And remember, a freeze can cause hazards for using some forages. When plants freeze, changes occur in their metabolism and composition that can poison livestock. But you can prevent problems. Sorghum-related plants, like cane, sudangrass, shattercane, and milo can be highly toxic for a few days after frost. Freezing breaks plant cell membranes. This breakage allows the chemicals that form prussic acid, which is also called cyanide, to mix together and release this poisonous compound rapidly. Livestock eating recently frozen sorghums can get a sudden, high dose of prussic acid and potentially die. Fortunately, prussic acid soon turns into a gas and disappears into the air. So wait 3 to 5 days after a freeze before grazing sorghums; the chance of poisoning then becomes much lower.

Freezing also slows down metabolism in all plants. This stress sometimes permits nitrates to accumulate in plants that are still growing, especially grasses like oats, millet, and sudangrass. This build-up usually isn't hazardous to grazing animals, but green chop or hay cut right after a freeze can be more dangerous. Alfalfa reacts two ways to a hard freeze, down close to twenty degrees, cold enough to cause plants to wilt. Nitrate levels can increase, but rarely to hazardous levels. Freezing also makes alfalfa more likely to cause bloat for a few days after the frost. Then, several days later, after plants begin to wilt or grow again, alfalfa becomes less likely to cause bloat. So waiting to graze alfalfa until well after a hard freeze is a good, safer management practice. Frost causes important changes in forages so manage them carefully for safe feed.

Grazing Alfalfa in the Fall Bruce Anderson, UNL Forage Specialist Some good pasture still may be available this fall – from your alfalfa fields! But make sure you do it safely with your animals. Alfalfa can provide considerable, high quality grazing this fall. Grazing avoids the problem of slow curing of hay that often occurs during the fall and it eliminates the cost of baling. Many growers find that grazing alfalfa in the fall provides some special flexibility that often is useful this time of year. Alfalfa makes an outstanding weaning pasture for spring calves; yearlings gain weight rapidly on fall alfalfa even after summer grass has already died off; cows gain excellent condition before winter by grazing alfalfa during the fall; and ewes and lambs perform very well on fall alfalfa. Fall grazing of alfalfa is not without problems, though. Bloat always must be a concern, but after alfalfa has been frosted and started to dry down it

has less tendency to cause bloat than summer alfalfa. Same thing holds true with fully bloomed out alfalfa. To protect your livestock from bloat, fill them with hay before turning them onto alfalfa. Also, maintain access to dry hay or corn stalks while grazing alfalfa to help reduce bloat. Or you can swath your alfalfa ahead of grazing and let animals graze dry hay in the swath. Of course, bloat protectants like poloxalene can be fed as blocks or mixed with grain. This can be an expensive supplement, but it works well when animals eat a uniform amount each day. Also be careful not to damage your alfalfa stand. Only graze when fields are dry and firm. Reserve a small sacrifice area to graze and for feeding when soils are wet to avoid damaging the entire field. If you aren't already doing so, consider alfalfa for late fall pasture. Its advantages greatly exceed any disadvantages.

Nebraska Cattle on Feed Up 2% LINCOLN — Nebraska feedlots, with capacities of 1,000 or more head, contained 2.13 million cattle on feed on September 1, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Fed cattle marketings for the month of August totaled 440,000 head, up 5 percent from last year. Other disappearance during August totaled 15,000 head, up 5,000 head from a year ago.

Livestock, Art Auction Raises Scholarship Funds The Ak-Sar-Ben Buyer’s Club Purple Ribbon Auction that included livestock and art pieces raised a total of $252,650 for scholarships, Ak-Sar-Ben officials said Monday. The auction capped four days of activities in and around the CenturyLink Center Omaha as part of AkSar-Ben’s River City Rodeo and Stock Show. Profits from the rodeo and post-show livestock auction benefit the Ak-Sar-Ben scholarship fund. In all, 32 companies and individuals bid for livestock and six pieces of art. Top-dop dollar bids were $22,500 by Bank of the West for the fourth-place winner in the calf challenge, $20,000 by David and Lori Scott for the grand champion in the calf challenge and $18,000 by Champion’s Buyer’s Group for the grand champion market beef. The fourth-place calf challenge price and the $9,000 paid by Loretta Patterson for the reserve grand champion goat set records for the prices paid for that title. The top prices paid for art were $2,750 each by Farm Credit Services of America and Union Pacific. First-time buyers this year included TransCanada and 21st Century Equipment/Orthman Manufacturing. Midwest Labs had the winning bids in four categories.

Livestock Market Nebraska Weekly Weighted Average Feeder Cattle Report Week Ending: 9/27/2014

MARKET: Burwell Livestock Market – Burwell; Huss Livestock Market LLC – Kearney; Imperial Livestock Auction – Imperial; Tri-State Livestock Auction – McCook; Valentine Livestock Auction – Valentine Receipts: 10,615 Last Week 11,056 Last Year 16,535 Compared to last week, steers sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers sold unevenly steady to 5.00 higher on 800 lbs offerings. This report represents the first big test of fresh bawling spring calves through the auctions this fall with most of the calves having precondition shots. Buyers also bid readily on the short supply of yearling cattle, especially, on the Value Added offerings that were certified as Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC). Overall demand remains good to very good for cattle this year as most everyone is expecting shorten receipts in all cattle producing areas so buyers continue to fill orders as quickly as they can before the supply runs out!? Supply this week included 39 percent heifers with 66 percent of the run weighing over 600 lbs.
