Livestock News In its official comments submitted to the U.S. Department of State on the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, the Nebraska Farmers Union raised questions about the ownership of the oil to be transported by the pipeline.

The farm organization provided information from the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers that indicates substantial foreign ownership of tar sands oil. The

final destination of this oil goes to the heart of the matter relative to national interests," the Farmers Union's comments said.

Pipeline proponents have maintained that it will improve national security and reduce the nation's reliance on Mideast oil.

"How can the public make their own judgment about whether this

organization also noted a recent New York Times editorial that said, "three fourths of the oil to be transported by the TransCanada XL pipeline is destined for export."

"These two sources of information cause us to ask: Does the State Department know who owns the oil and its destination? If the State Department does not know, it is imperative that it finds out. The

October 13, 2011

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report After nearly three weeks of precipitation free weather for much of the state, a powerful slow moving upper air trough brought significant moisture to the western 2/3 of the state during the October 7-9 time frame.

Precipitation totals ranged from 1-4 inches, with the heavAllen Dutcher iest totals recorded in central Nebraska.

Further east totals dropped into the 0.25 - 0.76 inch range. Another quick moving system moved through the state during the 10/11-10/12 time frame and brought an additional 0.25-0.75 inches of moisture to the eastern 1/3 of the state.

Although the moisture will slow down harvest activity, it will significantly reduce the fire danger that had been moderate to extreme with the warm temperatures that proceeded the passage of the

upper air trough. There are several chances of moisture during the upcoming two week period, but enough drying should occur between events to allow producers the opportunity to make significant gains in regards to harvest activities.

Week One Forecast, 10/15 - 10/21: Weather models indicate that a quick moving system will cross the northern Plains on 10/15 and bring a chance of light showers to the northern ½ of the state during the later half of the day. A slightly stronger wave of energy is projected to follow on the heels of the first system and bring light to moderate moisture to the state on 10/16.

Precipitation with this system should clear the state during the first half of 10/17 and then high pressure is forecasted to bring dry conditions to Nebraska through 10/20. Another system is forecasted to move into the region from the northern Plains on 10/21 with precipitation breaking out during the evening hours across the Panhandle.

High Temperatures: 10/15-10/16 (mid 60's NE upper 70's SW), 10/17-10/18 (low 50's N - mid 60's SW), 10/19 (mid 50's NE - low 70's SW), 10/20 (low

60's NE - mid 70's SW), 10/21 (mid j50's N - mid 60's S), Week Two Forecast, 10/22 - 10/28: Light showers are possible across the eastern 2/3 of the state on 10/22, with moisture ending by the evening hours.

High pressure then builds into the central U.S. for the 10/23-10/25 period. Weather models indicate that a potent upper level low will move through the western U.S. during the 10/26-10/28 period and increase the chances for moisture across Nebraska. Often weather models move these large troughs too fast, so it is possible that the system may enter the central Plains region later than currently forecasted. If this system verifies, it is possible that widespread moisture will fall across the state, with the possibility of accumulating snowfall across the western 1/3 of Nebraska. High Temperatures: 10/22 (mid 50's N - upper 60's SE), 10/23 (upper 40's NE - upper 50's S), 10/24 (upper 50's NE - low 70's SW), 10/25 (upper 60's NE - upper 70's SW), 10/26 (low 40's NW - upper 50's SE), 10/27 (low 40's N - upper 40's S), 10/28 (low 40's NE - low 50's SW).

Nebraska Weather and Crop Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending October 9, 2011, soybean harvest advanced quickly until rainfall late in the week slowed progress, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Precipitation was welcome to suppress fires sparked by combines, which had spread rapidly due to high winds and dry conditions.

Corn and sorghum harvest continued to advance while dry bean harvest neared completion. Seeding of the wheat crop was winding down with about three-fourths of the crop emerged. Rain received was expected to help establish the wheat stand.

Weather Summary: Temperatures for the week were well above normal. The eastern twothirds of the state saw temperatures averaging 7 to 12 degrees above normal while the Panhandle averaged 3 degrees above normal for the week. High temperatures were in the 90’s and lows were mainly in the 40’s. For much of the State, the rain that fell was the first significant precipitation in five weeks. However, most of the rain was in a concentrated band that ran through the central third of the state.

Some South Central locations recorded 4 to 6 inches. Eastern counties bordering the Missouri River received little or no rainfall.

Field Crops Report: Corn condition rated 2 percent very poor, 5 poor, 19 fair, 55 good, and 19 excellent, below 80 percent good to excellent last year but equal to average. Irrigated corn conditions rated 78 percent good to excellent

and dryland corn rated 68. Corn mature was 88 percent, behind 93 last year but ahead of 85 average. Corn harvest was at 19 percent, behind 27 last year but near 20 average.

Soybean condition rated 1 percent very poor, 3 poor, 18 fair, 56 good, and 22 excellent, near last year. Soybeans dropping leaves was 96 percent, near 97 last year and 95 average.

Soybean harvest was at 63 percent, near 65 last year but well ahead of 49 average.

Winter Wheat seeded was 92 percent, near 93 last year and 91 average. Wheat emerged was 73 percent, ahead of 65 last year and 66 average.

Sorghum conditions rated 0 percent very poor, 6 poor, 17 fair, 61 good, and 16 excellent, near 75 percent good to excellent last year but ahead of 73 average. Sorghum mature was 84 percent, behind 87 last year but ahead of 74 average.

Sorghum harvested was 15 percent, near 14 last year but ahead of 11 average.

Proso Millet harvest was 82 percent, behind 85 last year but ahead of 78 average.

Dry Beans harvest was 94 percent, equal to last year but ahead of 87 average.

The fourth cutting of alfalfa was at 89 percent, ahead of 85 last year and 83 average.

Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 8 poor, 26 fair, 59 good, and 5 excellent, below last year’s 73 percent good to excellent but above 55 average.

Sugar Shorts Susan Hansen, Extension Educator UNL Extension in Colfax County • To color granulated sugar, put one to three drops of food coloring in a small jar. Swirl the food coloring in the jar. Pour in one-fourth to one-third cup granulated sugar; shake vigorously until evenly colored.

• To make the equivalent of one-half cup brown sugar, blend together one-half cup of granulated white sugar with two tablespoons unsulfured molasses.

A Grand New Start • To soften hard brown sugar, put the brown sugar in a rust-proof container. Place a piece of plastic wrap or foil on top of the sugar. Fold several paper towels into a square and dampen them. Place the towels on the plastic or foil, and seal the container tightly. The sugar will absorb moisture and become soft in a half a day. Remove the paper towels and foil or plastic wrap. Store sugar in tightly sealed container. One or two pieces of bread will also work to soften brown sugar.

Computer and Your Health Susan Hansen, Extension Educator UNL Extension in Colfax County Computers are common and in many cases, essential, in homes, schools and the workplace. Longer hours in front of a computer can cause eyestrain and muscle aches.

Eyestrain can be reduced by taking vision breaks. Change the focus of the eye by glancing across the room or out the window from time to time. Look at an object at least 20 feet away. Roll or blink the eyes. Close eyes tightly for a few seconds. Such vision breaks help your eyes function better.

Working at a computer often requires sitting still for a period of time. Movement of the eyes, head, arms and fingers are small.

Retaining a fixed posture can cause fatigue.

The height of the chair and desk can make a difference. Adjust both to fit your body.

Posture supports for back, arms, wrists, legs or feet are available.

Take a break from computer work every hour or two. Stand up and stretch or walk around.

These are some exercises for relaxing muscles that can be done while at your desk.

SHOULDER ROLL - Slowly roll shoulders forward several times in a circular motion.

Then roll shoulders backward.

NECK ROLL - Let your head drop slowly to the left, then to the right. Slowly drop your chin to your chest; then raise your chin as high as you can. Turn your head all the way to the left, return it to the normal position and then turn your head all the way to the right.

Return to the normal position.

SIDE STRETCH - Interlace your fingers.

Lift your arms up over your head keeping your elbows straight. Press your arms backwards as far as you can. Then slowly lean first to the left and then to the right until you can feel the stretch along your sides.

WRIST FLEX - Put your elbows on a table with your hand raised. With your other hand, hyperextend your wrist to bend your hand so that the back of your hand is aiming to the top of our forearm. Repeat with opposite hand.

Lawn Winterizing Tips David Lott, Horticulture Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, North Platte, Nebraska There are several items that need to be taken care of now if they haven’t been already.

Here are some simple reminders and steps to help finish up some projects around the lawn before it gets any cooler.

Draining Water Lines and Garden Hoses Now is the time to clear out sprinkler lines and garden hoses before they freeze and burst.

Empty garden hoses by stretching them out in a straight line before coiling them up. The water will run out when the hose is coiled over the arm or on hose stand. Store the coiled hose in a place where UV rays will not break down the hose material. A dark corner of a garage or shed is a good place to place these for the winter.

Sprinkler systems are set fairly shallow in the surface of the soil. While there is some protection from the weather, sprinkler lines can be damaged or burst the lines when the ground freezes for the winter. First, if there is a shut-off valve, close it off. Next, run the sprinkler system’s zone to bleed off the lines.

If the homeowner does not feel comfortable draining out the sprinkler system, contact a local professional to drain the system and blow out the lines.

Mulching Fall Leaves Leaves are falling in earnest now, and it has been fun to watch children play in area yards.

Outside of the fun, what do we do with all the leaves on the lawn? Collecting, bagging and removing leaves can be a very time consuming process that is ongoing throughout the late fall. The wind also has an uncanny ability to blow the neighbor’s leaves into your yard too!

Instead of spending all that time and energy

Page 3

removing leaves, why not compost them with the help of the mower?

First, check the mower blades to make sure they are sharp to help shred the leaves as fine as possible. Second, mow over the leaves when they are dry to help increase the ability to shred. Third, mow the lawn at its regular height three or four passes slowly to shred the leaves as fine as possible so they fall into the lawn, and not cover the turf. Turfgrass will still need to have access to sunlight to continue photosynthesis, and store carbohydrates to build a strong root system. The mulching process will probably need to be repeated to keep the lawn from being covered with leaves for the duration of the fall.

Final Lawn Fertilization Cool season lawn turf such as bluegrass and fescue can be fertilized one last time before spring. This last fertilization will help boost the photosynthesis rate of the turf, and build carbohydrate reserves in the plant to help lawns green up in the spring. Late fertilization can also help increase the lawn’s winter hardiness, root growth and desirable, moderate shoot growth in the spring.

Apply 1/2 to 1 pound of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of area to the lawn.

Remember to look on the fertilizer label to ensure than at least a full pound of nitrogen is applied, not a pound of total fertilizer. Soluble fertilizers that contain urea or ammonium sulfate are desired in this application to help ensure that turf is receiving the nitrogen it needs as soon as possible. Avoid using slowrelease, or water insoluble fertilizer.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Why Buy The Cow?

by Lee Pitts

Everyone has their own theory of how we got so messed up in this country. I think you are probably, right this moment, holding the answer in your hands.

The downtown of a city near us used to be a quaint collection of thriving mom and pop stores but today it is a hollowed out assortment of vacant buildings and eateries, most of which are starving because consumers are watching every penny, and many can’t find a job. I talked to one man who was going out of business and he explained that his store had become nothing more than a showroom for folks to check out the merchandise before going online to buy it cheaper. And without any sales tax! So he had to fire five people.

The man I bought my last car from was forced to sell out for the same reason as his salespeople were spending their time giving free test rides to folks who had no intention of buying the car because they could get a better deal online from a dealer in the big city. And so the “too big to fail” get bigger, while mom and pop sell out.

The newsstand I used to love went out of business and fired more folks because consumers are downloading the same content they used to sell. Borders went broke and many newspapers are teetering because people are reading their newspapers online and not paying for a subscription. Music stores and video stores shut-

tered their doors for the same reason. Hey, why buy the cow when you get your milk for free?

There are two empty bank buildings in town, one of them was shut down by the Feds and the other was merged out of existence. The tellers lost their jobs because more folks are banking online or at the ATM. No need for a building or the folks who worked there.

And we wonder why there is 9% unemployment?

The Post Office is broke big time because everybody is e mailing instead, so they’re slashing jobs and probably going to do away with Saturday delivery. The gas and electric company that provides me services just announced they were installing “smart meters.” There went the meter reader’s job.

And I notice more and more self checkout lines at the grocery store, so more single moms who fed their family cashiering are now applying for unemployment.

I recently saw a painter make arrangements to paint a house and he didn’t have a pen on his person. “No problem,” he said, “who needs paper and pencil? I’ll just put it on my I-Phone.” That’s why both stationery stores in town went out of business.

And we wonder why people are out of work?

All this modern technology is great until you realize that folks have to have jobs in

order to afford it. Oh well, the unemployed will have more time to Tweet, check on their Facebook friends, and blog about the hard times. Change is necessary but the Internet revolution hit so hard and so fast that entire industries did not have time to adjust. And we can’t all make a living designing web pages.

They say all this technology will make us more efficient but I just spent 30 minutes watching a painter, paint gun in one hand and cell phone in the other. I swear he was on the phone the entire time and barely applied any paint.

The Internet has allowed hackers to disrupt our lives and perverts to prey on our kids. We’re all having our identities stolen, in more ways than one, as people on the street barely acknowledge each other because they’re too busy texting; in competition with each other to see who has the most Facebook friends. We have a childhood obesity problem in this country because our kids are all indoors, sitting on their haunches playing Madden Football, instead of being outside playing the real thing.

Meanwhile, far too many of us are in a dormant trance, staring at the screens on our cell phones, looking for a job.

Halloween Treats The Clockmaker's Caramel Coated Popcorn (A Haunted Recipe)

In 1921, a German born clockmaker quit his well respected job to open a popcorn stand in Chicago’s Wicker Park District. The clockmaker’s typical fare was freshly popped popcorn drizzled with warm butter and sprinkled with salt; but his favorite, and most beloved popcorn, was his caramel coated popcorn. The recipe he used to make it was given to him from his only true love, who tragically died four years earlier during World War I. The tattered and torn recipe, which was scribbled on the inside of an old playbill, was carefully framed and sealed in an exquisite frame. The clockmaker faithfully took the framed recipe with him everywhere he went.

By the summer of 1924, the clockmaker’s caramel coated popcorn had captivated the entire city’s attention; everyone was frantically lining up at his busy stand to buy the sweet, sticky confection.

A few months later, just as the clockmaker was preparing to close his stand for the day, a small fire ignited near the stove. The clockmaker instinctively ran out to call for help. When he returned, just seconds later, he remembered leaving the framed recipe hanging on the wall.

The clockmaker quickly ran into the burning stand to retrieve the recipe, but he never made it out. When the fire inspectors went into the charred ruins to investigate the accident, they found the clockmaker’s frame lying in a pile of smoking debris. The frame was in pristine condition; not a dent, nor a blemish, could be seen on it.

However, the recipe was gone. The recipe for the clockmaker’s caramel popcorn recently surfaced and is beginning to circulate around the globe.

Unfortunately, many people think the recipe is haunted because it is believed that if your clock stops running after making the recipe it’s because the clockmaker has paid you a visit in hopes of reclaiming his long, lost recipe.

1 cup margarine 2 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup Karo syrup 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon vanilla 10 -15 cups popped popcorn In a large pot, heat the margarine, brown sugar, Karo syrup, and salt together over medium heat.

While stirring, bring mixture to a boil and allow to boil for five minutes. Remove from heat. Add baking soda and vanilla. Mix well. Pour over freshly popped popcorn. Stir until the popcorn is well coated.

NOTE: This recipe, as written, results in a sticky, chewy caramel popcorn. If you prefer a crunchier caramel popcorn, bake it in the oven at 250°F for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds 2 cups pumpkin seeds, washed 4 teaspoons olive oil 2 teaspoons garlic salt 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 teaspoon hot sauce Preheat oven to 300°F.

Line it with waxed or parchment paper for best results. Place a pretzel around the hug. Don't worry if it doesn't drop to the base of the hug. Bake for approximately three and a half minutes. Immediately place an M&M in the center of the Hug and press down slightly to flatten. Cool.

Halloween Party Mix 1 (11 oz) package pretzels 1 (10 1/2 oz) package miniature peanut butter filled butter flavor crackers 1 cup dry roasted peanuts 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup light corn syrup 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 (10 oz) package M&M's 1 (18 1/2 oz) package candy corn In a large bowl, combine first 3 ingredients. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, butter and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat; boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla and baking soda (mixture will foam). Pour over pretzel mixture and stir until coated. Pour into a greased 15x10 inch baking pan. Bake at 250°F for 45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Break apart while warm. Cool completely. Toss with M&M's and candy corn. Store in airtight container.

Pumpkin Dip 8 ounces cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup canned pumpkin 2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, any color 1 ounce chopped olive Beat together the first four ingredients. Stir in the bell pepper and olives. Chill until serving!

Rural Post Offices are Critical

by Congressman Adrian Smith Grand Island Office 1811 West Second Street, Suite 105 Grand Island, NE68803 Phone: (308) 384-3900 Fax: (308) 384-3902

The U.S. Postal Service is an integral part of American life, especially in rural communities. In rural areas like the Third District, residents rely on the USPS for the delivery of prescription drugs, retail purchases, business mail, and cards from loved ones. In fact, you are likely reading this column in a newspaper delivered through the mail.

Despite being a vital part of American history and culture, the USPS is struggling to stay financially solvent and risks facing bankruptcy. Citing a $3.1 billion shortfall in the second quarter of the year, the USPS recently released a list of 3,600 post offices to study for potential closure, which included many rural facilities. It is clear the USPS must take drastic steps to fix its budget deficit, but it is unreasonable to put the brunt of this responsibility on rural customers.

Understanding the importance of rural post offices to communities in the Third District, I have continued to work to prevent the USPS from balancing its budget at the expense of rural customers.

In April of this year, I, along with my colleagues from Nebraska, sent a letter to the Postmaster

General of the USPS urging the agency to account for the impact on local communities when considering the closing or consolidation of a rural mail facility. My office also has contacted more than 1,300 individuals in the communities with post offices under review, and co-hosted a Congressional Rural Caucus briefing to draw attention to the benefits of rural post offices and the need for USPS to look elsewhere for costsavings.

H.R. 1351, a piece of legislation supported by postal labor unions, recently has gained a great deal of attention. I have expressed a number of concerns with this legislation. In reality, this measure does nothing to address rural post office closures. Instead, the bill changes existing law to allow the USPS to receive up to $75 billion in bailout funding from a civil service retirement account. This account is used not only for postal service retirees, but also for military retirees.

Even USPS officials admit H.R. 1351 does not resolve issues the organization faces in the coming years. As we in Nebraska know, short-term fixes often create long-term problems. For instance, this year alone members of two postal labor unions

Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207

will receive raises totaling more than $270 million.

Closing all 3,600 post offices on the recently released study list will save only $200 million – not even enough to cover union pay increases this year. The Postal Service expects a $238 billion shortfall by 2020, so even cutting a $75 billion bailout check directly from the Treasury will not make it solvent.

Long-term, structural reforms are the best solution to put the USPS on a path to fiscal sustainability. These reforms include asking postal employees to pay the same for health benefits as the rest of the federal workforce, allowing for advertisement sales on postal vehicles, or shifting to mailbox on the curb delivery, which could save as much as $100 per house annually.

When the Postal Service originally was created it was charged with a mission to serve all communities – both urban and rural – with prompt, reliable, and efficient services. It is important the USPS upholds this original mission while at the same time fixing its bottom line. As this issue continues to be debated and considered, I will keep working to ensure rural communities have a seat at the table.

Hard Choices Needed to Cut the Budget

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

When I’m home on weekends people talk to me about their jobs, their families and, often these days, what Washington should do to bring down the national debt.

One thing I don’t hear them telling me to do is raise their taxes. Nebraskans tell me Washington should cut spending first and I always keep that in mind when I’m at work in the U.S. Senate.

Cutting spending always runs into Special Interest Protectors That’s why a letter I recently got from a handful of my Senate colleagues caught my attention. They were upset with some budget cuts I’ve proposed. They made an argument you hear a lot in Washington: cut spending but don’t cut this budget or that program. It’s too important.

If Washington follows that advice as it tries to make major budget cuts this Fall, you’ll be counting the savings with pennies.

I am Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch, which handles spending for Capitol Hill. This includes budgets for the Capitol Police, the Architect of

For months I’ve talked about the need for the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Government Accountability Office, and our own shared sacrifice to tackle the debt. While I certainly will listen to people’s concerns, and office budgets as senators or representatives. there could be more pushback from others in Congress, I won’t back down from that prinWe’ve Made Responsible and Real Cuts Since I became chairman several years ago, ciple.

I’ve worked in a bipartisan way to reduce Legislative Branch spending. This year, Washington Doesn’t Get It Too often, Washington just doesn’t get it.

Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota, the ranking member on my committee, and I put People in Washington say they want to cut together a Legislative Branch bill that cuts 5.2 spending, until the hard choices have to be percent in fiscal year 2012. That cuts several made. I stand by our bill because I’m ready to make hard choices. Moreover, the example our hundred million dollars.

We made responsible and real cuts, and were bill sets can be a model for all of Washington.

The reality is the bureaucracy never wants to pleased it got strong bipartisan backing when it be cut. I learned that when we had to tighten was sent to the full Senate for consideration.

It wasn’t a much of surprise, however, to get the belt to balance the state budget all eight the letter from my colleagues raising a red flag. years I was governor of Nebraska. We always While they welcomed the cutting Senator had to do what people told us we couldn’t do, Hoeven and I did overall, they singled out one but we got it done anyway.

This is such a time in Washington. agency they said should be exempt and called Washington has to cut spending in a responthe proposed cuts excessive.

In my view, there will always be someone’s sible way, with shared sacrifice, by working favored agency or program that will have to do together, and it won’t be easy. Our future, the economy and jobs for thousands of Nebraskans with less. and millions of Americans, depend on it.

Honoring Adoption Heroes

It is always a true honor to recognize Nebraskans who are making a profound difference in their communities – citizens who are literally changing lives at a very basic level.

This week I will have the pleasure of meeting with a Kearney couple who has gone above and beyond in making a positive difference in the lives of children. Paul and Mandy Mueting are headed to Washington, D.C., to be honored as 2011 Angels in Adoption. I nominated them for this distinguished award because they are shining examples of the life-changing power of adoption and foster care.

Paul and Mandy's story touched my heart.

After the birth of their biological daughter Lydia, they felt called to raise more children.

They also couldn't imagine any child being deprived of love and stability.

Paul and Mandy began the process of adoption in 2007 after learning about a young mother who was considering relinquishing her

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

parental rights to her 22-month-old and 4month-old sons. For several months, they prayed and waited while serving as foster parents to Steven and Edward. In an unexpected turn, their birth mother decided to give parenting a second try. The following year, the Muetings were overjoyed by news that another birth mother had selected their family and wished to place her soon-to-be-born son with them. They welcomed Evan into their family with open arms.

In 2009, having seen the love and care Paul and Mandy provided, Steven and Edward's mom once again looked their way, and suddenly Paul and Mandy were faced with the opportunity and responsibility of doubling the number of children in their family overnight. The decision was easy for them and in 2010 the adoption was made final. The Muetings are now a happy and healthy family of six.

Washington, D.C. Office 404 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510

Paul and Mandy say they know this is what they were called to do and will now use this experience to mentor other families considering adoption. There are currently more than 400,000 children in the United States waiting for a permanent home and many of those children wait an average of three years. That's a long time in the life of a child. These are heartbreaking statistics, but people like the Muetings are making them better through their selfless commitment to provide hope and a home for vulnerable children.

I am honored to recognize this family for their incredible commitment. So many children have yet to experience the blessing of a safe and loving home, caring parents to guide them into adulthood, and hope for the future. I encourage others who may feel called to open their hearts and homes to children in need to step forward and give a child something all children deserve – a home and a loving family.

Corn trade is stronger midweek after a limit move on Tuesday before the October Supply and Demand Report.

Talk of significant end user and exporter pricing helped fuel the move, along with supportive outside markets.

Wednesday’s report was slightly negative to corn. The weekly net change is 41 higher on the December Chicago contract. The contract was also able to achieve the 40% retracement of the break this week at 6.50 on the December contract. The corn portion of the report was as follows; the domestic carryover came in at 866 million bushels versus the average trade guess of 806 million. Global carryover grew to 123.19 million metric tons versus expectations of 120; this is up 6 million tons from last month. The USDA lowered harvested area by 500,000 acres and planted area by 400,000. This was widely discussed this summer, so not a surprise. Total production was reduced by 64 million bushels versus last month down to 12.433 billion versus the average trade guess of 12.471. The yield was unchanged at 148.1 versus the average trade guess of 148.7. The dollar has slid this week, trading 3 points below the recent highs. Increasing optimism about a workable Eurozone solution is fueling a slow move back into risk for funds, as most commodity classes have seen a significant bounce the past week. Export interest has been noted with a 200,000 Metric ton sale of corn to Mexico, and unconfirmed reports of China buying 1.5 Million Metric Tons of corn for spring delivery. During the midsummer break we saw Chinese buying show up in a big way, and the market looks to be well supported on breaks below $6 as end user see value there. Upside will likely be limited to the $6.50-$7.00 range in the near future. The weekly crop progress report on Monday listed the crop as 89% mature versus the 88% 5-year average. Harvest was estimated at 33% complete versus the 32% 5-year average.

The crop ratings were improved 2 at 53% good to excellent.

Exports are delayed until Friday due to the holiday, but the USDA confirmed 900,000 metric ton sale to China Thursday morning, and 292,100 metric tons to unknown destinations.

Hedgers call with questions.

The wheat market saw a negative supply and demand report which drove wheat futures down at midweek. The US carryover came in at 837 million bushels which was above all expectations and up 76 million from the September report. World carryover rose to 202.37 million metric tons which was well above expectations of 194.64.

The increase was due to the higher US carryover and a 3.5 million ton jump in the Australian carryover. Planted area was dropped by 800,000 acres on the US balance and the yield was down to 43.9 versus 45.2 on the last report. This followed a strong bounce with the row crops on Tuesday, some of which the Chicago and KC contracts were able to maintain. Weekly net change is 19 higher on the December Chicago contract, KC is up 27, and Minneapolis is 15 lower. The Chicago December contract has lost its premium to December corn for the moment.

This should encourage wheat feeding again; however suspected wheat feeding this summer does not seem to have shown up on USDA reports yet. Weather items include significant rainfall for HRW growing areas, and the drought has been bent in many areas after last weekends stationary rain system .This should be sufficient to get the crop out of the ground in most areas. Russia is looking at imposing an export duty on sales over 23 Million Metric Tons, which should support US exports down the road. For the time being, US exports will struggle to find traction though. India reported an 86 Million Metric Ton crop, which will keep them self sufficient and potential a minor exporting nation. The downward chart trend is intact, but spillover direction from the grains and outside markets however, will continue to direct trade. Feed wheat interest was noted from Asia.

Winter wheat planting came in at 59%, 67% being the 5 year average, and emergence was at 28%, below the 5 year average at 38%. Exports are delayed until Friday.

Soybeans have bounced significantly this week, as significant end user buying has surfaced along with reduced yields and supportive outside markets. The weekly net change is 81 higher and the market looks like it has support above the $12.00 area, as it moves about the ten day moving average in the $12.20 area.

Meal is around $18 higher on the week; bean oil is up 276 points on the week. The monthly report was friendly to beans at the soybean carryover came in at 160 million bushels versus the average trade guess of 183 and range of 153-255. The world carryover was in line with expectations at 63 million metric tons. The yield number slipped to 41.5 versus 41.8 last month which gave us a slightly lower production estimate versus expectations. The production number was 3.06 billion bushels versus 3.329 last year. The old crop carryover was 215 million bushels. The bean market will continue to be heavily influenced by outside markets. Exports have picked up with significant China activity being noted with strong crush margins on imported beans supporting activity.

High Plains Ranch Practicum Expands into Nebraska, Colorado WHEATLAND, Wyo. -- Grants totaling more than $671,000 will expand a Wyoming ranch management skills development program into Nebraska and Colorado.

Four ranch practicums will be offered per year: two in Wyoming, one in Nebraska and one in Colorado, said Dallas Mount, University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service educator based in Platte County and grant recipient.

The High Plains Ranch Practicum, already established in eastern Wyoming, is a hands-on program designed to build ranch management skills and tools.

Mount, who started the practicum with Aaron Berger of University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, noted the schools are eight full days spread over several months.

The new schools will be offered beginning spring 2012.

"They will cover what we see as four focus areas for successful ranching: range and forage management, nutrition and reproduction, financial management, and family and employee working relationships," said Mount.

A beginning rancher supplemental program will be offered for beginning ranchers from any of the four ranch practicums.

UNL and Colorado State University are coauthors of the grant and are co-project directors. The $670,890 grant is through the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. The program will also have $167,722 in cost-share funds.

Program partners are the Wyoming Stock Growers Association, Colorado Cattlemen's

Association and the Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition.

The partner organizations will distribute scholarships to attend schools, train rancher mentors to work with targeted beginning ranchers and provide information/education to beginning ranchers at annual meetings and through quarterly publications.

"The High Plains Ranch Practicum school has been successful in training beginning and experienced ranchers since it began in 2005," said Mount. "This grant program seemed to us to be an excellent fit with the ranch practicum, and the team that came together around this proposal was unique and greatly strengthened the proposal."

Smith, Johanns Support Trade Agreements

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Pending trade agreements between the U.S. and Colombia, Panama and South Korea have been sent to Congress by the Obama administration and they have the support of Rep. Adrian Smith and Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska.

Smith said the trade agreements are good news for Nebraska.

"These agreements will create opportunity for Nebraska's farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers by creating quality jobs, expanding exports, and strengthening our economy," Smith said. "All three pending trade agreements " Colombia, Panama, and South Korea " enjoy broad bipartisan support in the House and Senate, so I look forward to immediately moving forward on passage."

Smith serves on the Committee on Ways and Means and its Subcommittee on Trade.

Johanns said the three pending trade agreements have been delayed for years.

"I'm pleased that after more than four long years we are finally voting on the pending trade agreements, and I look forward to being a very enthusiastic yes vote," Johanns said.

Johanns said he is not certain when Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will bring the agreements up for consideration in the Senate.

"Farmers and ranchers across Nebraska and our country have been waiting a long time for increased access to these markets and the

New Custer County Grain Elevator, ShuttleTrain Loading Facility MAUMEE, OHIO - The Andersons Inc. announced that construction will begin soon on a 3.8 million-bushel-capacity grain elevator near Anselmo in Custer County. It plans to begin operation in time for the 2012 harvest.

"Constructing a new facility located in the center of Nebraska fits well with our strategy to provide service to customers west of our traditional eastern Corn Belt market," said Chief Executive Officer Mike Anderson. "During the past 15 months, we've expanded our operations in Nebraska to nine locations, both through acquisitions and merchandising agreements."

The Anselmo facility is the first The Andersons have constructed in Nebraska and will be Custer County's largest, according to a press release.

Located on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad main line, the elevator will have trainand truck-loading capabilities.

In late August, the Hub reported that the Custer County Board of Supervisors approved a conditional-use permit for a shuttle train-loading elevator near Anselmo that is estimated to cost $15 million to $20 million.

The Andersons' Regional Director Jim Cripe said then that the facility will be capable of dumping 50 truckloads of corn per hour and handling 500,000 bushels of corn per day. The elevator will have a projected annual grain volume of 13 million to 20 million bushels and employ seven to 10 people.

Custer County Economic Development Corp.

President Elizabeth Babcock said, "While this is a tremendous economic development opportunity for our entire county, it is especially beneficial to our farmers to have value added to their grain and an additional outlet that increases the efficiency and speed with which their grain can move to end users."

opportunity to create jobs," Johanns said. "I'm hopeful Sen. Reid, the majority leader, will make these agreements a top priority on the Senate calendar to open the door for job creation."

The U.S. trade agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea have been awaiting congressional action since their signing more than four years ago.

According to Johanns, failure to implement these agreements could result in the loss of up to 380,000 American jobs.

He said since the U.S.-Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement was signed in November 2006, U.S. exporters have paid almost $3.8 billion in tariffs that would be eliminated under the agreement. Estimates say the agreement would boost U.S. exports to Colombia by $1.1 billion.

According to Johanns, more than 90 percent of imports from Colombia already enter the U.S. duty free, while U.S. exports to Colombia face tariffs as high as 35 percent.

Approximately 88 percent of consumer and industrial products and more than 60 percent of agricultural commodities exported to Panama would enter duty-free.

He said the U.S.-Panama Trade Promotion Agreement would expand trade between the two countries, eliminate tariffs and other trade barriers and promote economic growth.

Implementing the U.S.-Korea Trade Promotion Agreement, Johanns said, would

result in the reduction of tariffs on U.S. exports to South Korea, increasing such exports by approximately $10 billion annually. As a result of the agreement, the U.S. Gross Domestic Product would increase between $10-12 billion.

Bob Stallman, president of American Farm Bureau Federation, said the three agreements moving forward is very good news for the economy.

"Now that the administration has done its part, it's up to Congress to expedite this matter," Stallman said.

He said it is vital that the process move forward to ensure the agreements will be put in place as soon as possible so a level playing field for U.S. exports to these three nations can be restored.

According to Stallman, the three agreements represent nearly $2.5 billion in new agriculture exports and would create the economic growth that could generate support for up to 22,500 U.S. jobs. He said these gains will only be realized if the three agreements are passed by Congress and implemented.

"Without these agreements, over the last four years, Korea, Colombia and Panama have opened their doors to our competitors. A further delay will provide more benefits to our competitors at the expense of our economy," Stallman said.

Fall Weed Control NoNoel Mues, Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Furnas County Weed control activities can continue well into fall and it is the opportune time to get the best results on some of our most difficult weeds. A lot of our tough weeds thrive when the temperatures are in the 40’s and 50’s in mid to late fall. Many of the perennials and winter annuals get their start during early fall, particularly when there is abundant moisture. This doesn’t happen to be the case this fall but, if and when we do receive moisture, it is the best time to kill them.

Several reasons why fall is a good time to kill weeds include. One, the leaves tend to have less wax or cuticle on them, which allows the herbicide to enter the leaf more readily. Second, the weeds are in the process of translocating nutrients in fall, so the herbicide goes along for the ride. Third, there are fewer veggies to damage in fall. Fourth, if the plant doesn't die outright from the herbicide, it will enter the winter in a weakened state and more likely succumb to winterkill.

Here are some weed control operations that can be done during the next four to six weeks, weather permitting: · Make herbicide applications for pennycress and downy brome control in established alfalfa.

Karmex, Sencore/Lexone, and Sinbar should be applied to dormant alfalfa. · Treat musk thistle with Tordon; 2,4-D + Banvel; or Milestone. Use Tordon 22K at 6 to 8

ounces for November applications. Milestone or one of the combination products (ForeFront™ or Chaparral™) containing Milestone does especially well on all the thistles, including musk thistle and Canada thistle. · Apply herbicides to vigorous fall growth of Canada thistle and field bindweed. Use 2,4-D, Banvel or Roundup or combinations of any two of the products. Where the label permits, Milestone does an excellent job on Canada thistle. Research shows that Milestone applied in the fall is nearly 100% effective in control of Canada thistle. · Apply turf herbicides for dandelion, chickweed, ground ivy, henbit, shepherdspurse, black medic, and other perennials and winter annuals in lawns. A combination product, such as Trimec, that contains 2,4-D, mecoprop and dicamba (Banvel) will control most troublesome broadleaf weeds. In garden spots limit use to Roundup and 2,4-D because Banvel can cause residual carryover problems. · Clean up and winterize sprayers for storage. · Store liquid pesticides that might be damaged by freezing, in a heated building. The pesticide label provides guidelines for protection against low temperatures when applicable. Dry forms of herbicides in labeled paper bags should be protected from moisture by placing in plastic bags. · Always read and follow the label when using pesticides!

Groundwater Education Site to be Ready for Next Year's State Fair

By Amy Schweitzer, The Grand Island Independent By this time next year, kids of all ages will be able to learn about how and why groundwater is used just by visiting the Nebraska State Fairgrounds in Grand Island.

On Friday ground was broken on the Grand Island Groundwater Guardians outdoor learning area, to be located in the Kidz Zone at the Nebraska State Fair.

"It is a followup to the Groundwater Guardian theme, educating kids, and adults too, about groundwater " how it works, why it works, how we use it, why we use it, how much we use, what kind of provisions can be made to protect the groundwater, both quality and quantity," said Gary Mader of the Grand Island Groundwater Guardians team, adding that the State Fairgrounds was chosen because, ""Education requires access by the people."

The half-acre site will include fun things that can teach about how water is used such as a willow tunnel, prairie maze, tree fort, rain gardens, a xeric garden, bioswale and gazebo. The Nebraska Arboretum, working with the Natural Resources District, designed the outdoor learning area for the team.

Mader said the team wanted features in the project that are "fun as well as educational."

Jana Kruger, chairwoman of the Nebraska State Fair Board, said the board was excited to get something like this on the grounds.

"When we were in Lincoln, we discovered that when we created a kids zone, an area that was in a park-like setting, people naturally gravitated to it," she said, adding that when the fair moved to Grand Island, the board wanted to create the same kind of area. "(People) need a place to refresh and relax after a hard day at the carnival or showing their livestock."

The project got off the ground last spring when it received a $10,000 grant from Rain Bird. The grant was awarded through an online contest, "The Intelligent Use of Water Awards," in which citizens voted on their favorite project. The project received 30,597 votes, about 1,000 more than any other project in the country.

"The citizens of Grand Island got behind us and supported us," Mader said.

Dave Johnson, director of corporate marketing for Rain Bird, said Friday one of his company's goals is making sure that groundwater and irrigation are used as efficiently as possible and in previous years they had rewarded ideas that led to the conservation of groundwater, but this year for the first time they decided to give money for an idea that without them may not get built.

He said the Grand Island project was exactly the type of thing they were looking for when they proposed the contest.

"Grand Island came through in spades," Johnson said, adding that not only was it a great idea, but the entire area got behind it. "You got the word out and really promoted the idea."

Besides the Rain Bird grant, nearly $40,000 in other grants and donations have been received from Vetter Health Services, Water For The West and Waterwise. The Nebraska State Fair Board also set up an endowment for ongoing maintenance of the project site.

Jack Vetter said he gave to the project because he felt it was important to the young people of the state.

"I think the young people are eager to learn and we need to make these opportunities available to them," he said Friday.

Mader said they hope to have as much of it as possible completed by the 2012 Nebraska State Fair.

"It's going to take a few years to develop some of these things; they aren't all going to be there the first year," he said as he spoke of the shade tree plantings and willow tree tunnel. "Trees are going to have to have time to grow."

Mader said although the site will be located at the fairgrounds, the outdoor learning area will be available year round for the public and for school field trips.

"While we anticipate there will be a good deal of use during the course of the State Fair, it will be there 365 days a year," he said.

Farm Groups Oppose Changes to Renewable Fuels Standards

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Legislation being introduced in Congress that would reduce or eliminate the volumes of renewable fuel use required by the renewable fuel standard (RFS) could hurt Nebraska's economy, said Todd Sneller, administrator of the Nebraska Ethanol Board.

A coalition of farm organizations and ethanol groups is opposing the legislation introduced in the House that would arbitrarily control the amount of corn used for ethanol based on stocksto-use ratios.

Introducing the legislation, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said the federal government's creation of an "artificial market for the ethanol industry has quite frankly created a domino effect that is hurting consumers."

"It is expected that this year about 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop will be used for ethanol production," Goodlatte said in a letter to his colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives. "Our legislation will alter the RFS to give relief to our livestock and food producers and consumers of these products. This is a common sense solution to make sure that we have enough corn supplies to meet all of our demands."

The legislation is co-sponsored by Rep. Jim Costa, D-Calif.

The legislation has the support of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association.

"Cattlemen are not opposed to ethanol and we're not looking for cheap corn. We simply want the federal government to get out of the marketplace and allow the market to work," said Kevin Kester, president of the California Cattlemen's Association, which is an NCBA affiliate. Corn is the main ingredient of livestock feed, which can make up as much as 70 percent of a livestock production cost.

But reducing America's consumption of renewable fuels based upon arbitrary, pre-determined

thresholds for corn demand and supply ratios is unnecessary and may lead to higher prices at the pump, according to the coalition opposing the legislation. The coalition includes the American Coalition for Ethanol (ACE), the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF), Growth Energy, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA), the National Farmers Union (NFU), the National Sorghum Producers and the Renewable Fuel Association (RFA).

"This legislation represents backward-looking thinking regarding our economic and energy security," said NFU President Roger Johnson. "We need policy that continues to transition our economy away from imported fossil fuels and toward homegrown biofuels."

Sneller said, "When we are sitting here looking at more than 2 billion gallons of renewable fuel production, which is twice the fossil motor fuel consumption in Nebraska, shouldn't we ask ourselves, Can we do better with our own resources?'"

Nebraska has one of the stronger economies in the nation with the country's second lowest unemployment rate. Sneller said much of that is due to the growth of the state's ethanol industry, which produces more than 2 billion of ethanol annually, as aided by the passage of the renewable fuel standard.

For example, since the RFS was introduced in Congress, Sneller said, the number of ethanol plants in the state has doubled and now totals 25, making Nebraska the second-largest ethanol producer in the nation.

He said by creating another market for corn, it has helped to increase the price producers were paid. Next year, lawmakers in Washington will be debating a new farm bill. But with the RFS, Farm Bill payments have been eliminated because of improved corn prices, saving taxpayers billions of dollars in government payments that were made

AG NEWS COMMODITIES myfarmandranch.com

when corn prices dipped below the cost of production.

The increase in corn prices has also helped to funnel more than $2 billion in improved prices to the state's economy, as Nebraska is the nation's third-leading corn producer.

Prior to the RFS, in 2005, corn prices were as low as $1.75 per bushel in Nebraska. Currently, cash prices are nearly $6 per bushel.

"When you look at the RFS, it was enacted in late 2007, and we haven't even had this program in effect for four years," Sneller said.

He said Nebraska's ethanol industry didn't occur overnight as it took more than 25 years to develop it into a 2-billion-gallon-plus industry.

Sneller said development of other renewable resources to replace corn's burden as a fuel source for ethanol also will not happen overnight and must be nurtured through both public and private sector investment.

With the proposed legislation, Sneller said, the government could nearly eliminate private investment because of the instability of corn supplies.

That, in turn, could also reduce private-sector investment in other renewable resources that could be used to replace corn as a fuel supply.

The legislation being proposed in Congress, if passed, could diminish investment in renewable fuels in the nation, he said, thereby increasing the nation's dependency on foreign oil, such as the proposed Canadian pipeline being routed through Nebraska's Sandhills.

"The two members of Congress who have introduced this legislation are creating uncertainty in the marketplace and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy to say that we aren't seeing these things develop fast enough," Sneller said. "We won't because of these mixed signals being sent to the private sector."

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

Maximize Value of 2011 Calf Crop Carl Dahlen, North Dakota State University Extension Service beef cattle specialist "For producers to capture the most value from their calf crop, they need to follow a carefully planned marketing strategy," says Carl Dahlen.

Here are four strategies to maximise calf crop value this year: • Start with a uniform group of calves.

• Implement a sound herd health program.

• Consider age and source verification.

• Talk with your auction market representatives.

The sale price almost always is greater for a large group of high-quality, uniform calves than similar-quality calves brought to the livestock auction in smaller groups or similar calves with more weight range variation.

High-quality genetics and groups that are uniform in color, frame, muscling, flesh and weight range are essential to add value to a group of cattle. To improve calf uniformity, concentrate on purchasing high-quality breeding stock, managing breeding seasons to create a tight calving window (consider a 45day breeding season) and possibly culling latecalving cows.

"Implementing a sound herd health programme is the easiest way to add value to the calf crop, but it has to be done correctly," Mr Dahlen advises.

"Calves must receive the correct vaccines at the correct time."

Vaccines calves receive as they walk onto the truck do not have a large impact on the price buyers are willing to pay because most cattle will be revaccinated upon arrival at a feedlot.

However, producers who vaccinated calves two to three weeks prior to weaning and followed all Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) procedures are more likely to be rewarded with higher prices.

The type of vaccine cattle receive also can impact the price. Cattle feeders are looking for calves that have received a modified live vaccine. Many feeders are not happy with the protection from a killed vaccine.

Recent sales have shown price swings of $5 to $8 per hundredweight for the same quality of calves, depending on vaccination status, with higher prices paid for vaccinated calves.

Consult with your veterinarian about the vaccination strategy appropriate for your herd.

Even one year ago, auction market staff had not received a lot of requests for age and source verified calves or special age and source verified sales.

"However, 2011 is a different story," Mr Dahlen says.

"This year may prove to be the most beneficial year to date for producers who age and source verify their calves. As long as Japan restricts imports to less than 21 months of age, the demand for age and source verified calves will remain strong. But the process for verifying calves does not happen overnight."

Producers should be proactive, initiating and following through with the age and source verification process. They need to have records in place and start the paperwork well in advance of the sale to properly verify the age and source of calves.

Mr Dahlen recommends producers talk to a third-party certification agency to learn if their calves and records qualify for age and source verification. Similar organizations can help producers certify that their calves are suitable for natural and organic markets. For a list of third-party certification agencies, visit http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDoc Name=STELPRD3320450.

"I encourage producers to spend time evaluating production costs and returns to ensure that they are obtaining a sufficient premium when marketing under a natural or organic

label, compared with managing and marketing calves in traditional markets," Mr Dahlen says.

Auction market representatives can be great resources for producers with questions about improving the value of their calf crop. The market representatives deal with questions about feed yard preference for calves, status of calf supply and demand, whether feedlots are running at capacity and the latest market trends daily, whereas many cow-calf producers evaluate these questions once a year.

In addition, auction markets may offer their customers alternative marketing avenues, such as special sales, Internet sales and video auctions.

Producers should remain in contact with auction market staff and be flexible in their marketing strategy, according to mr Dahlen.

Consign cattle well in advance of the sale and let the auction market know as much about the calves as possible (for example, what color they are, when they were born, when they were vaccinated and whether they are age and source verified). The more information the auction market has, the better job it can do of marketing those calves.

In addition, producers should ask auction market representatives about other ways to improve their cow herd and calf marketability.

"No silver bullet will make you consistently top the sale each time you sell calves," Mr Dahlen says.

"Concentrate on creating a uniform set of calves with cows that work in your environment. Manage your herd with good BQA practices, vaccinate in a timely fashion, age and source verify if the market is rewarding the effort, and remain flexible with marketing strategy and dates."

Lean hog trade has slipped this week, as stronger grain prices, and weaker cattle prices encourage profit taking. The weekly net change is $2.60 lower on the October contract and $.20 on the December. These contracts are still in the upper end of their trading range. Cash trade has remained firm as export buyers continue to be active, but seasonally expanding supplies are beginning to weigh on the market at little bit. Packers are looking to slow kills a little bit, and are not pricing as aggressively this week. Outside markets have calmed some, reducing spillover pressure and/or support. The weaker dollar should help to maintain the exports underpinning the market.

Live cattle trade has been softer this week as grain prices rebounding have encouraged profit taking, while packer margins slump. The weekly net change was 1.88 lower on the October contract.

Lower corn prices have fueled significant feed pricing to secure margins, culminating in Tuesday corn rally. Packer margins have deteriorated and no cash movement is expected until late in the week. Showlists are smaller this week, and asking prices are $123 live, and $190-192 dressed.

The cutout has been mixed with choice up 1.62 at

$186.03 on the week, and select was down .10 at 169.31. The cutout has been friendlier to choice than select. The weaker dollar should help move the exports that the market has been relying on to keep stocks current. Feeder cattle have remained near their contract highs as continued concerns about future availability linger because of drought. However, the good rains in the south plains could encourage longer backgrounding of calves, and further constrict supplies in the near term.

Harvest Gets Off to Good Start

By Ben McCall, The Wahoo Newspaper WAHOO - Crops are starting to be harvested around the area.

Grain elevators around the area reported good quality for corn and soybeans this year.

Farmer's Union Cooperative in Prague reported that the soybeans have a good test weight of 57 pounds this year. Branch Manager Dennis Prochaska said that this is better than the previous year.

Soybeans are being reported as dry this year.

There isn't an estimated level of moisture of corn yet.

"Beans were pretty wet a week ago," said Cedar Bluffs Farmer's Union Cooperative Branch Manager Randal Schwartz. "But they are pretty dry now."

In Prague, Prochaska reported his elevator had a range of nine to 11 percent dryness.

Frontier Cooperative Seed Sale Manager John Brabec said the moisture for soybeans in Mead has been nine to ten percent. Brabec also said that the ideal moisture level is from ten to 11 percent.

"Corn is going to dry next week real quick with the south winds and warm weather," said Brabec.

Brabec stated that his yields for the soybeans this year have been 60 bushels per acre on dry land and 70 bushel per acre on irrigated land.

He estimated that the corn yield for his grain elevator will be around 165 bushels per acre on dry land and 200 bushels per acre on irrigated land.

Grain elevators had several difficulties with weather this year.

"Hail stunted the plants and the beans didn't mature fast enough," said Rick Milenkovich, the branch manager of Farmer's Union Cooperative in Wahoo. "Hopefully a little frost will come so it will kill the plants and make the combining a little easier."

According to meteorologist Cathy Zapotocny, this season will have temperatures above average.

She also stated that rainfall should be normal this year.

"We are calling for pleasant weather," Zapotocny said. "Soybeans and corn should be pretty dry. " Zapotocny said that next week there will be a chanced of isolated showers.

She said that the ground level moisture will possibly have a quarter-inch of water.

"It's been very dry from the last month," said Zapotocny. "Any moisture should run off the soil."

Heat this summer was also an issue for the elevators in Cedar Bluffs and Mead.

"The hottest July on record was tough on the corn," said Brabc. "It interfered with the pollination process."

Most of the harvest still needs to happen.

"I think it's going to be a spread out harvest," said Milenkovich. "Everything is not coming in at the same time and the weather has caused things not to mature at the same time."

New Loop Rail Line Will Give KAAPA Ethanol Ability to Ship Ethanol by the Trainload

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub MINDEN - The KAAPA Ethanol plant west of Minden could be shipping ethanol to West Coast customers by the trainload by early 2012.

Heavy equipment operated by employees of Mid Nebraska Land Developers of Phillips is moving dirt on the west side of the plant and on 240 acres purchased by KAAPA Ethanol on the south side of K Road. The properties are being prepared for construction of a loop railroad track that will allow shipments of 96 tank cars of ethanol at a time on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line.

KAAPA Ethanol General Manager Chuck Woodside said the multimillion dollar project - he declined to give a specific dollar amount - recognizes the economy of scale all agribusinesses must operate under to manage transportation costs.

He added that the project doesn't involve increasing the plant's processing capacity of 60 million gallons of ethanol per year and no additional rail cars will be needed.

Just as grain elevators now must be capable of loading 100-110 railcars at a time, railroads are requiring ethanol plants to ship a train-length number of tank cars to make the most efficient use of new receiving facilities at West Coast and Gulf Coast terminals, Woodside said.

"They'll ship singles (grain railcars), but it's so much more expensive. It's the same way with ethanol," he said.

Woodside said KAAPA Ethanol purchased three "80s" on the south side of K Road. Company officials are working with the city of Minden, which annexed the plant site prior to construction that started in 2002, to vacate the road.

The loop-and-a-half track will come off of the rail line on the west side of the plant and cross the road. Woodside said there will be a west entrance with a new route and traffic still will have plant access on K Road from the east.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe officials have approved the rail loop plan. "Their equipment will be on that track," Woodside said, unless KAAPA Ethanol officials decide to purchase a locomotive.

Ameritrack Rail, with offices in Frankfort, Ind., El Dorado, Kan. and Houston, will build the new line.

Woodside said there is a lot of demand for rail construction in the Great Plains now because of flood damage repairs and demand from other energy-related projects, but the target is to have the KAAPA Ethanol line completed by Dec. 31.

Weather also will be a factor in meeting that goal.

He said that once the rail construction is finished, 96 tank cars for a train can be filled about every three weeks. Each railcar holds 29,000 gallons of ethanol, so the total volume will be 2,784,000 gallons per train.

Shipments from KAAPA Ethanol still will go to California and other points west, Woodside said, but the ability to ship trainloads of ethanol could open new markets to the south.

He described the rail improvements as an important long-term step for the locally owned plant.

Farmers Union Seeks Clarification...

Continued from page 1 proposed pipeline is in the national interest unless they know the destination of the oil? We call on the State Department to gather the pipeline oil ownership and final destination and release this information to the public," said John Hansen, president of the Farmers Union. "Let's put the facts on the table so American citizens can make their own informed judgments about whether this proposed pipeline is in the national interests."

Among other issues raise, the NEFU comments also focused on leaks. The comments stated: "The National Response Center data for pipeline leaks document 18,558 pipeline leaks in the last 12 years, which is an average of 1,546 pipeline leaks per year. The Keystone I Pipeline has experienced 14 spills since it was put into service in the last 12 months."

Hansen added, "It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when, how often, and how much leakage there will be. As a result, the route itself becomes of critical importance. It is not prudent to tempt fate. The current route is not the safest route. The current route is an environmental, economic, and sociological disaster waiting to happen."

Hwy. Inter. 2 & 92, P.O. Box 56 Merna, NE 68856 605 Super M Cornstalk Special Baler

Features and Benefits • Produce consistent bales because the optional monitoring system displays the weight and estimated moisture of each bale.

• Large capacity lets you work efficiently, thanks to the power windguard working in conjunction with pick-up tines to condition crop and move more material into the bale chamber.

• Get the Vermeer Package -- a simple, ruggedly designed Super M baler with the Vermeer reputation for excellence.

• Complete more bales per day by increasing baling speed and pick-up capacity, decreasing labor and time.

• Clear blockages without getting off your tractor by simply reversing the rotation of the power windguard, which unplugs the pick-up.

• See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
