The Grand Island Independent U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reports that from 2009 to the middle of 2012, the U.S. biofuels industry, encompassing all liquid fuels derived from renewable sources, ramped up output to meet mandates for increased biofuels use under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) implemented by
the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Ethanol grew from 8 percent of U.S. gasoline consumption by volume in 2009 to nearly 10 percent in 2011 and in the first eight months of 2012. Volume shares are an important metric because of limits on the share of biofuels that can be used in motor fuels approved for use in all vehicles. Biodiesel consumption

grew from 326 million gallons in 2009 to 878 million gallons in 2011, after having declined in 2010. Biodiesel's share of all distillate fuel reached 2.2 percent in September 2011, and, after declining over the past winter, was at or above 2 percent in the spring and summer of this year.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report
Allen Dutcher
There were three distinct precipitation events during the past two weeks. The first system brought areas of heavy rain to southeastern Nebraska during the 10/13-10/14 time frame. Totals in the 2-3 inch range were reported just south of the I-80 corridor between Lincoln and Omaha. Unfortunately, totals dropped off dramatically northwest of this area, and no precipitation was reported across most of the western half of the state. A powerful storm developed over the upper Midwest during the 10/17-10/19 period. Wind gusts of 55-70 mph were common across the state with significant blowing dust reported from North Dakota southward through Kansas. Light precipitation was reported across extreme eastern Nebraska. The final system brought welcome moisture to the western half of the state during the 10/251026 period, with rain and thunderstorms common across southeastern Nebraska. Although the moisture was welcome, several more of these events will need to materialize prior to the onset of winter before anyone can entertain the idea of improving the extreme to exceptional drought conditions currently depicted for much of Nebraska in the more recent version of the U.S. Drought Monitor. Week One Forecast, 10/27 - 11/02: The storm system that produced a variety of weather during the 10/24 10/25 time frame, including thunderstorms east and snow west, is expected to strengthen over the northeastern U.S. during the first half of this forecast period. Nebraska will lie on the backside of the upper air trough supporting the deepening surface low. Two weak systems are expected to drop southeastward on the backside of
this upper air trough and impact extreme eastern Nebraska during the overnight hours of 10/27 and 10/29. At present, models indicate that moisture will amount to a few sprinkles or flurries with liquid equivalent precipitation totals in the trace to 0.10 inch range. Since Nebraska will remain on the backside of this upper air trough, a northwesterly flow aloft will usher in below - normal temperatures during the 10/27-10/29 period. Warmer conditions build back into the region by mid-week as the eastern U.S. upper air trough weakens and allows for upper air ridging to build across the Central Plains during the 10/30-11/1 period. Models are aggressively developing a surface low over the Texas Panhandle during the second half of 11/1 and move the system northeast toward Nebraska on 11/2. If the models are correct in their depiction of this system, widespread rainfall will impact the state on 11/2, with precipitation totals exceeding 0.50 inches across the eastern half of the state. Totals across the western half of the state would be in the 0.25 to 0.50 inch range. Models currently indicate that cold air will be lacking for snow development. High Temperatures: 10/27 (42 NE - 50 SW), 10/28 (46 NE - 55 W), 10/29 (50 NE - 65 W), 10/30 (62 NE - 70 SW), 10/31 (68 NE - 76 SW), 11/1 (65 N 75 S), 11/2 (45 NW - 62 SE). Week Two Forecast, 11/03 - 11/09: Weather models presently indicate that the most likely period for accumulating moisture will be in the 11/6-11/8 time frame, as another surface low develops across the Texas Panhandle on 11/3 and moves to the western Great Lakes by the morning of 11/9. If this forecast verifies, another round of significant moisture may be on tap for Nebraska. These models currently keep precipitation in liquid form, but enough cold air remains north of the region that snowfall would be a distinct possibility if the system drops slightly south of its currently depicted storm path. Dry conditions are supported by the weather models for the 11/3-11/5 and 11/9 time frames. High Temperatures: 11/3 (42 NE - 51 SW), 11/4-11/6 (46 NE - 58 SW), 11/7 (56 NE - 66 SW), 11/8 (42 NW - 55 SE), 10/9 (43 NE 52 SW).
Nebraska Weather and Crops Report Agricultural Summary: For the week ending October 21, 2012, high winds caused lodging in unharvested corn and soybean fields and slowed field activities at midweek, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. Fire danger was high due to the dry, windy conditions with losses reported to structures, crops, and machinery in western counties. Increased field losses were also reported due to the high winds. Statewide, soybean harvest was 95 percent complete, near three weeks ahead of average. Corn harvest is 89 percent complete, over one month ahead of average. Winter wheat seeding, at 97 percent, was also near completion. Emergence of the winter wheat crop has been slow and stands at 58 percent, over two weeks behind
average. Sorghum harvest neared two-thirds complete. Sugar beet harvest progressed in western counties. Some fall field work was being done. Producers continue to move cattle to stalks, dry lots, or sale barns due to reduced forage supplies. Weather Summary: Temperatures averaged 2 to 5 degrees above normal across the state. Highs reached the low 80’s and lows dipped into the upper 20’s. Precipitation was received mainly in the eastern border counties of the state with highest amounts recorded in the Northeast District. Some isolated pockets received near 1 inch of moisture. Field Crops Report: Corn harvested for grain was 89 percent, compared to 44 last year and 32 days ahead of 37 average. Continued on page 18

A Nutrition Makeover for the Pantry Susan Hansen, Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, Colfax County Now that your pantry is cleaned out, take time to think about the food you will be purchasing to add to the shelves. There are lots of choices in our grocery stores and I am thankful for that. However, we have to do a little work when grocery shopping so that we are getting the products we will use and we are making wise nutritional choices. Canned foods are timesavers and can offer good nutrition for a low price. Canned food can also be goldmines of fat, sugar and/or sodium. Read the labels to make wise choices. Look for low-sodium or no-sodium canned vegetables. Yes, salt gives the vegetables flavor, but you can control the amount by adding only a little salt, or better yet, adding some herbs or spices instead of salt. Rinsing regular canned vegetables will also get rid of some of the sodium. For canned fruit, buy the cans with fruit in its own juice or water. Heavy syrup means lots of sugar in water. Beans are a nutritional goldmine as well as budget friendly. Buy dry edible beans to have available on the shelf. Rehydrating the beans takes a little planning, but very little effort. Soak extra beans, package them and put them in the freezer for a later meal. Beans are full of vitamins, minerals, folic acid, fiber and protein. Canned beans are also a good choice; just rinse the beans before using (unless you are using chili beans already in a sauce). Lentils do not need soaking and are a good addition to soups, so keep a package on the shelf. Try to include healthy whole grains in your pantry. Whole grains contain the bran (the coat), the germ (the fatty heart) and the endosperm (the bulk of the kernel), to add needed fiber to our diet. Some whole grain alternatives such as rice or pasta have a texture difference from the white grain counterpart and will take longer to cook. Consider stocking (and using) couscous,
barley and quinoa to serve on occasion. Couscous is a pasta alternative that takes about 10 minutes to make. Barley is a great addition to vegetable soups. Quinoa is high in protein and can be used in hot casseroles or cold salads. If you are a baker, include whole wheat flour in the pantry but don’t get rid of all of your white flour. Whole wheat flour is heavier; thus, your baked product will be heavier. Use a combination of white flour and whole wheat flour for baking. Don’t substitute whole wheat flour for more than half of the amount needed. Canola oil is one of the best oils to keep in your pantry. It is high in unsaturated fats, has a high smoke point when sautéing and doesn’t have an overpowering flavor, so it is versatile. Olive oil is also high in unsaturated fats, but it does have a distinctive flavor that some people do not like. Whatever the oil, use it in moderation. Keep a cooking spray handy to use when you just need to keep a food from sticking. Salt, sugar and fat give food flavor but so can other items. If you like hot sauce, that is a great way to add flavor, but check the label as some brands are full of sodium while others are not. A splash of vinegar, especially flavored vinegars, can be used to add flavor to salads rather than a lot of bottled salad dressings that are full of fat, sugar and/or sodium. Keep a variety of nuts on hand for snacking and cooking. Adding a few toasted nuts can add a punch of flavor to casseroles or salads. Nuts are high in fat, but it is a healthier fat. Because the nuts are high in fat, they become rancid quicker than many other foods, so don’t stockpile. Is cornstarch healthy? Not if I eat it by the teaspoonful -- but who would want to. However, use cornstarch to thicken foods instead of the butter and flour roux. Cornstarch packs twice the thickening power of flour with less chance of lumps. Plan for a healthy, yet easy-to-use pantry, however large or small that might be.
Landlord/Tenant Cash Lease Workshop Highlights Communications, Alternative Lease Arrangements Randall Saner, Extension Educator, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, Lincoln-Logan-McPherson Counties A workshop hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) Extension will be held at the West Central Research and Extension Center located at 402 West State Farm Road in North Platte, Neb., in cooperation with the Lincoln-Logan-McPherson County Extension Office. This workshop will help landlords and tenants establish and maintain a positive farm leasing relationship. It is sponsored by the Nebraska Soybean Board and the North Central Risk Management Education Center. This workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 14, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. “The Landlord/Tenant Cash Lease Workshop Series will help producers and landowners deal with the volatility of their cash rents,” said Allan Vyhnalek, UNL extension educator in Platte County. “Landlords are trying to be loyal to their tenants, yet want a fair return for the land asset. Tenants want to be sure to stay in business, yet feel the pressure of bidding to keep the land base that they have been farming,” said Vyhnalek. Topics for discussion include: expectations from the lease, including goal setting for the rental property; lease communication; determining appropriate information sharing for both the tenant and landlord; tips for farm leases that include relatives; irrigation system questions, as
they pertain to setting lease rates; alternative cash lease arrangements; and flexible provision considerations for each situation. Other topics like grain bin rental will be covered as time allows. A team of UNL extension educators will be on hand to discuss these topics and provide common sense tips during the presentation. Managing the 2012 drought and implications for 2013 will also be discussed. It is very helpful if both the tenant and landlord can attend together. “Putting together the right lease isn’t about what is being discussed at the coffee shop, or what a university survey of cash lease rates says; it is about what fits both the landlord and tenant for their circumstance and situation. Attending this presentation will provide a set of ideas to work from as those specifics are discussed,” observed Vyhnalek. For more information about these workshops, contact Vyhnalek at 402-563-4901, or by email at avyhnalek2@unl.edu, or at the Lincoln-LoganMcPherson County Extension Office. Workshops are free, but registration is required to reserve a spot. Please register by November 10, 2012. Handout materials, a meal, and refreshments will be provided. Participation is limited. To register, call 1-800-200-1381 or 532-268, or register by e-mail at rsaner2@unl.edu.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Step Up America by Lee Pitts
Recently I had to look up the phone number for traffic court, and while I was on hold for the better part of a day I had time to thumb through the city, county, state and federal government sections of the phone book. There were listings for everything from A to Z, from alcoholic services to a zoo. (Why is the government serving alcohol?) It dawned on me that with our government’s gushing red ink, we simply can’t afford to continue to fund graffiti hotlines and Cantonese translators. There were phone numbers for street sweeping, adult sports, golf courses and, of course, traffic court. (I’d get rid of that one right now!) There’s also a phone number for a flood control agency, even though it hasn’t flooded in my neck of the woods since 1969. I wonder what those folks have been doing to keep themselves occupied these past 40 years? Then there’s a phone number for the Adopt-A-Highway program, in which people volunteer to pick up trash along our highways. As bad as our roads are getting I’d say to heck with the bottles and cheeseburger wrappers, it’s time to really adopt a highway -- by trading in their trash bags for a shovel and a wheelbarrow and start patching holes and building bridges. Under listings for our county there were things like food stamps, DUI schools and smoking classes. Now I ask you, do we really need to be teaching people how to smoke? And what does a department called
“Affirming Family Empowerment” do? There were several listings for fire departments, and it occurred to me that perhaps the time has come to go back to volunteer departments. My grandfather eventually got paid five bucks for every fire he fought as chief, and I think maybe we could afford that. There were also several listings for things like Lead Abatement, Hazmat and bomb disposal. Because our prisons are costing way too much, I suggest we take every prisoner convicted of child molestation and send them out to defuse bombs and clean up hazardous spills. We could replace the Solid Waste Department with politicians since it’s something they know a lot about. I’d also look into replacing Parks and Recreation Departments with convicted pot heads. If they want to smoke grass they’d have to mow it too. I’d leave the air traffic controllers in place though, because you really don’t want some pot smoker telling airplanes when and where to land. While on hold, I came up with a program I call “Step Up America” in which people with special skills will replace government employees by working for free. For instance, we could get rid of immunization programs by asking cowboys to give the shots. I’d get rid of jury duty and instead everyone would take a turn being a Judgefor-a-Day. Those lucky enough to draw a spot on the Supreme Court couldn’t do any
worse than what we have now, and look at the money we’d save. We could hire fewer teachers by asking professionals to teach at least one day, once every school year for free. We simply cannot afford programs listed in my phone book like the Barbering and Cosmetology Program, the lottery and special translators for people who don’t speak English. Evidently they can call a translator to learn how they can get government services. I say if they can’t speak English they don’t get food stamps. I wouldn’t fire the translators, however, instead I’d put them to work translating the Indians and Chinese at phone centers who are supposedly speaking English when we call for help. I’d stimulate the post office by having our mail sorted and delivered by all the convicted crystal meth users and speed freaks. We’d get our mail in a day! As for the Immigration Office and Wildlife Services, we can kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I’d quit turning wolves and mountain lions loose to terrorize, and I’d take their radio collars and place them on illegal alien drug pushers so we’d keep track of them instead. Let’s face it folks, we’re broke and the time has come to Step Up America!

Nation Should Learn From Nebraska’s Success 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 national economy is bleak. Four years after a deep recession, unemployment remains stubbornly high at 7.8 percent, and economic growth has slowed to 1.3 percent. Families and small businesses are struggling to make ends meet. As wages and benefits have been cut, prices of electricity, gas, food and health care continue to rise. Clearly, we are not headed in the right direction. Nebraska is a different story. During the recession, our unemployment rate peaked at 4.9 percent, and is now down to 4 percent – about half the national rate. Our state has been recognized as one of the best places to do business in the country because of our competitive tax structure, commonsense regulatory policies, sound infrastructure, quality education and responsible fiscal policies. While Nebraska is doing well, there are many families struggling, and the national economy limits the growth of our businesses and the domestic market for our crops, goods, products and services. Nevertheless, our success can serve as a model for other states and the nation. For example, Nebraska has benefitted from reduced taxes, encouraging companies and families to invest in our state. They can feel confident our rates will not rise because our state budget consistently has remained balanced
without tax increases. On the other hand, the federal tax code is complicated and uncompetitive. We face the largest tax increase in American history on January 1, 2013, unless Congress acts to extend the current rates. The national debt has spiked to more than $16 trillion, and there is no plan in place to reduce our deficits, much less balance the budget or pay off our debt. The federal government should follow Nebraska’s lead to instill confidence and generate economic growth by enacting comprehensive tax reform to simplify the code. We must find a way to solve our long-term budget problems by cutting spending, focusing on our national needs and priorities, and addressing the true cost drivers of our deficits and debt. While the House-passed budget goes a long way toward answering these questions, it has yet to pass in the Democratcontrolled Senate. Nebraska also enjoys electricity rates about 30 percent lower than the national average, which reduces overhead for energy-intense manufacturing and agriculture and makes it easier for families to pay their bills. To lower energy rates nationwide, we need a national energy strategy which takes advantage of our nation’s abundant natural resources, such as coal, oil, natural gas, ethanol, hydro power and wind.
Washington Office 503 Cannon House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-6435 Fax: (202) 225-0207
We have such low utility rates in part because our state has a regulatory climate which provides environmental and consumer protection without hurting energy generation, manufacturing or small business. The same cannot be said for federal agencies, like the EPA, which frequently overreach their authority to impose new regulations which unnecessarily increase the cost of energy. To address this problem Congress needs to streamline the regulatory code and reassert its authority for the regulatory process. A good place to start would be the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act. This commonsense policy, which passed the House of Representatives last year, would require all new major regulations to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President before being enforced on the American people. These examples are just a few of the ways Nebraska has achieved relative success compared to the nation as a whole. Washington could go a long way toward putting America back on track, reducing the burden of government, and restoring our promise and potential as a nation if it were to adopt some of our commonsense principles and policies.
Conservation: A Nebraska Value by Senator Ben Nelson Omaha Office 7502 Pacific St.,Suite 205 Omaha, NE 68114 Phone: (402) 391-3411 Fax: (402) 391-4725

Fall is the favorite season of many Nebraskans, and I can see why. It’s hard not to like the time of year when Husker football is in full swing, our farmers are wrapping up their harvests and the crisp autumn air brings welcome relief from the sweltering summer heat. Our state is truly a wonderful place to be during the fall. For Nebraska’s over 175,000 sportsmen (myself included), it also means that we’re in the heart of hunting season. Whether your pursuit is pheasant, quail, turkey, duck, deer, antelope or other, Nebraska’s wide ranging ecosystems give our state’s hunters opportunities for multiple species without ever having to leave our state. This provides a substantial boost to Nebraska’s economy, with hunters and anglers spending $709.1 million on trips, equipment and other related expenditures in Nebraska last year alone. Just as Nebraska’s soil and water resources provide us with a rich habitat for wildlife, these very same resources allow our state to be part of the world’s breadbasket. So, as a Governor and Senator, I have strived to find the balance necessary to maintain the integrity of the
environment while ensuring that our producers will have the land and water resources they need so Nebraska can continue being a world leader in agriculture. Key tools towards this end are the conservation provisions included in the Farm Bill. When talking about the need for the Farm Bill, the focus is on financial security for producers if disaster strikes. However, just as the commodity and crop insurance provisions in the bill are essential to producers’ economic security, the conservation provisions are just as essential to producers’ production security during a natural disaster. This summer, Nebraska struggled through drought conditions not seen since the Dust Bowl, when strong winds blew away topsoil, degrading soil productivity and harming people’s health. Fortunately, Nebraska isn’t seeing effects as severe as those following the Dust Bowl, in - part because of conservation provisions currently in place. These provisions allow the U.S. Department of Agriculture, conservationists, and sportsmen to work with producers and landowners towards
Washington Office 720 Hart Senate Office Building United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6551 Fax: (202) 228-0012
implementing critical conservation practices, benefitting both working lands and game habitats. However, all the gains we have made to maintain high quality soil and water in Nebraska are at risk with the expiration of the 2008 Farm Bill. Fortunately, the Senate has acted. We passed a five-year Farm Bill that cuts $23 billion in spending, provides disaster assistance for farmers and supports job creation in Nebraska’s largest economic sector. The Senate made current policies more efficient, but also more effective – especially conservation provisions. We consolidated 23 existing conservation programs into 13 while still maintaining tools currently available for land and water protection. Hopefully the House of Representatives will take action when Congress returns, and pass a fiveyear Farm Bill so we can ensure that Nebraska continues to enjoy the benefits of both a strong agricultural economy and a healthy and well maintained environment. Enjoy what is shaping up to be a beautiful autumn, Nebraska, and happy hunting!
Our Constitution Should Not Be Ignored by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

I recently joined 41 of my colleagues in supporting a lawsuit to reign in President Obama’s overreach and I appreciate the opportunity to explain, why I think it is so important. Earlier this year, President Obama deliberately sidestepped constitutional rules designed to limit the power of the executive branch when he appointed three members to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) without seeking confirmation from the Senate. The Constitution gives the Senate the authority to review and approve presidential appointees. It gives the President the power to make appointments without such approval only when the Senate is out of session. The problem is that when these appointments took place, the Senate was in session. Because the President violated the Constitution when selecting these board members, the NLRB has no legitimate authority to render decisions, and all of its actions are rightfully subject to legal challenges.
Scottsbluff Office: 115 Railway Street, Suite C102 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Tel: (308) 632-6032 Fax: (308) 632-6295
This may seem like a technicality, but it is in fact a violation of principles enshrined in our founding documents by the President, and it has real-world implications. Noel Canning, a family-owned soft drink bottler, recently lost an NLRB appeal regarding a dispute over a labor agreement. According to the NLRB, the company must now enter into a collective bargaining agreement with a labor union. The company filed a lawsuit against the NLRB, asserting that because members of the board were unconstitutionally appointed, it had no authority to act. I recently joined 41 of my colleagues in filing an amicus brief in the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of President Obama’s actions. The case is pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals. No small business wants to be bossed around by bureaucrats. This ruling by the NLRB could stand alone as another example of this administration’s fixation with telling small businesses what to do. But what makes this situation particularly disturbing is the unconstitutional manner in

which the bureaucrats were appointed, showing blatant disregard for the rules that our nation’s leaders are obligated to abide by. The contents of the Constitution are not mere suggestions. They are the recipe for a great America. I went through the process of congressional approval when I was appointed Secretary of Agriculture. Having been on both sides, I have a great appreciation for the Senate’s role in the confirmation process. These rules are intended to limit the power of any one branch of government and ensure the voice of the people— through their elected representatives—is heard. Our Founding Fathers created an ingenious system of checks and balances among the three branches of the federal government to prevent overreach. The President ignored these principles when he circumvented the authority of the Senate. It is now up to the third branch of government— the courts—to employ its checks and balances, and ensure the strength of our nation remains with the people and the principles that founded America.

BIOFUELS MARKETS FACE BLENDING CONSTRAINTS Continued from page 1 Ethanol production rose steadily over the past decade, increasing from 2.1 billion gallons in 2002 to 13.3 billion gallons in 2010. Growth in ethanol production slowed after 2010 as ethanol's share in the gasoline pool approached 10 percent by volume. Ethanol production in 2011 was 13.9 billion gallons, and monthly production through the first half of 2012 remained close to that level. However, production has slowed somewhat since July, in part because of the drought's impact on the current corn crop and the price of corn. Biodiesel production has followed a different path. In 2010, the production of biodiesel fell 34 percent, at least partly due to the expiration of the biodiesel tax credit at the end of 2009. The reinstatement of the credit in late 2010, retroactive to the beginning of the year, coupled with increased demand under the RFS2, reversed the decline in 2011. The federal excise tax credits for non-cellulosic ethanol and

biodiesel and the ethanol import tariff expired at the end of 2011. The production tax credit for cellulosic biofuel is scheduled to expire at the end of 2012. With almost all gasoline in the United States already blended with 10 percent ethanol (E10), significant increases in domestic consumption of ethanol as required under the RFS2 over future years will be challenging unless higherpercentage ethanol blends can achieve significant market penetration. E10 was the maximum ethanol blend allowed for use in most of the vehicle fleet until 2011, when the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the use of 15 percent ethanol blends (E15) in all light-duty vehicles from model years 2001 or later. Many ethanol producers have been approved by EPA to sell their ethanol for blending into E15, but as of August 2012, only one retailer in Kansas had announced that it has E15 for sale. International biofuels trade patterns have changed significantly in recent years. Trade with Brazil, the world's other major producer of ethanol, shifted during 2010-2011 as the United States became a net exporter of fuel ethanol in 2010, while at the same time raising

imports of Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, which qualifies as an advanced biofuel under the RFS2 program. It is also much more useful for compliance with the California low carbon fuel standard than domestically produced corn ethanol because of its significantly lower carbon intensity rating. Exports of ethanol increased substantially as producers looked abroad for new markets and Brazil experienced a poor sugar harvest during 2011-2012. Biofuels production uses significant amounts of both corn and soybeans. In the 2010-2011 agricultural marketing year, 40 percent of the corn crop and 14 percent of soybean oil production were used to produce biofuels and other products, including distillers grains for use as animal feed. The reduced forecast for corn production in the 2012-2013 marketing year led to higher corn prices, which affected the outlook for ethanol production. Biofuels production technology continues to improve, both for mature processes such as corn-based ethanol and vegetable oil-based biodiesel, and for new processes such as renewable diesel, renewable jet fuel, and cellulosic biofuels. However, progress on the commercialization of cellulosic biofuels has been slower than envisioned in 2007, when the RFS2 was enacted. As a result, from 2010 through 2012, EPA exercised its authority to set the mandate for cellulosic biofuels below the targets set in legislation. To date, EPA has not exercised its authority to waive or modify any of the other legislated targets. For 2013, EPA recently set the mandate for biodiesel at 1.28 billion gallons, exceeding the 1 billion gallon mandate applicable in 2012. EPA is expected to announce the 2013 mandates for cellulosic ethanol and other categories of biofuels later this year, after considering forecasts for motor fuels markets and cellulosic ethanol production to be provided by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Vote by Natural Resources District Partner Clears Way for “Historic” Water Project Following action by a natural resources district (NRD) on Tuesday, four NRDs in Nebraska have now partnered on a landmark water project to aid and protect the Republican and Platte Rivers, the agricultural economy across one of Nebraska’s most productive ag regions and taxpayers statewide by ensuring long-term compliance with interstate water agreements. The Curtis-based Middle Republican NRD on Tuesday voted to move forward with a land purchase that the NRDs plan to close next month. The vote by the Middle Republican NRD completes a partnership with the Upper Republican, Lower Republican and Twin Platte NRDs to pursue a stream flow enhancement project that is being described as historic. “This historic water project is unprecedented in Nebraska,” said Dean Edson, executive director of the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts. “The proposal addresses the most serious water availability issues facing the region. A project of this magnitude would probably not have been realistic a few years ago. I applaud the leadership of local NRD boards and staff for seeing the potential for stream enhancement in both the Platte and Republican Basins and making the idea a reality. This is a long-term solution that will benefit each and every Nebraskan no matter where they live”. The project will transport water, via a pipeline, to the Republican and Platte Rivers that otherwise would have been consumed by crops on a large swath of irrigated land in southern Lincoln County. A significant amount of engineering design must still be completed, but it is expected that the project could add a total of roughly 45,000 acre feet of water to both the Republican and Platte Rivers in years when needed to maintain compliance with both the Republican River Compact and the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program. In the Platte, NRDs are responsible for returning that basin to water supply-and-demand conditions that existed in 1997, and ultimately reversing an overFills and Packs Pivot Tracks • One pass fills and packs twice • Saves wear & tear on expensive hay and row crop equipment • Over 15X in-track compaction of any other closer!
appropriated designation to fully appropriated status under state law. “The ability to manage the augmentation releases when and if they are needed, to guarantee that our obligations will be met, will definitely protect the economic viability of our basin,” said Joe Anderjaska, a Middle Republican NRD board member and president of the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts. The amount of water available under the project is expected to be enough to close most of the gap between supplies and allowable use under the Republican River Compact that historically has existed in the Republican Basin during exceptionally dry years. In addition to helping the Republican Basin, the project should also provide enough water for the Twin Platte NRD to fully meet its obligations under the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program and efforts to return conditions to 1997 levels. “This is a proactive move that shows what is possible when NRDs partner. It will go a long way towards solving serious issues in the Platte and Republican Basins that also affect residents across the state,” said Jasper Fanning, general manager of the Imperial-based Upper Republican NRD. “In the Republican Basin, it will be satisfying to satisfy Kansas’ demands without sacrificing livelihoods as our neighbor to the south is seeking to do in its lawsuit against the state. The Republican and Platte Rivers will be better off with this project, groundwater resources will be protected, interstate demands will be met, and the ag economy won’t be at the mercy of outside forces.” The NRDs had to move quickly to pursue the project because the land was on the open market. They are forming an interlocal agenc,y and at this point are expected to contribute equally to the $83 million purchase of the property and improvements. An occupation tax of approximately $4-$6 per irrigated acre is expected to be needed in each of the NRDs to pay off the

project. The project could be paid for in a shorter timeframe, of course, if a higher occupation tax was levied. The $4-$6 occupation tax will not be in addition to the $10 per acre tax now levied in some districts such as the Upper Republican NRD; the occupation tax lid under state law is $10 per irrigated acre. NRDs are authorized by state law to levy occupation taxes on irrigated land, and occupation taxes are included in their Integrated Management Plans developed in cooperation with the state. The authority to levy the tax was granted by the Nebraska Legislature approximately six years ago; currently the Lower, Middle and Upper Republican NRDs are the only NRDs in the state that levy the tax on irrigators. State law outlines that the tax is supposed to be used to help enhance streamflow. Twin Platte NRD is revising its Integrated Management Plan that will allow an occupation tax to be levied. The property purchase being sought by the four NRDs is contingent on the NRDs securing financing for the project that is expected to be obtained. The NRDs expect to close on the property purchase within the next several weeks. The 15,800 irrigated acres on the property will be retired from irrigated production. Approximately 10,400 of the irrigated acres are located within the Middle Republican NRD; another 5,360 irrigated acres are in the Twin Platte NRD. By retiring all or a significant portion of the acres, the NRDs will essentially be able to store, underground, water that otherwise would have irrigated and been consumed by crops on the large farm. That “saved” water, then, could be transported to the Republican River via a tributary such as Medicine Creek, and the Platte. Possible pipeline lengths will vary depending on routes, but it is possible that approximately 17 miles of pipeline will be needed to transport water to both rivers. Continued on page 14

VOTE BY NATURAL RESOURCES DISTRICT PARTNER CLEARS WAY... Continued from page 11 “The ability to manage the river enhancement releases when and if they are needed, to guarantee that our obligations will be met, will definitely protect the economic viability of our basin,” said Joe Anderjaska, a Middle Republican NRD board member and president of the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts. It is anticipated that much of the property will be reseeded to native rangeland. The property expected to be purchased is located in a region of plentiful groundwater where the saturated thickness of the groundwater aquifer is approximately 600 feet. It is expected that less water will be pumped as part of the streamflow enhancement project than what otherwise would have been pumped had the ground remained in irrigated crop production. Brian Dunnigan, director of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, said, “Cooperative, proactive efforts among NRDs

present the state with the best opportunity to comply with interstate water agreements, and this project exemplifies those efforts.” Dunnigan added, “The state is committed to complying with these agreements and sustainably managing natural resources, and this project meets both of those objectives.” Water-supply alternatives to meet legally mandated objectives in both the Platte and Republican Basins could be much more expensive than costs associated with the project now being pursued by NRDs. Including land, project development and operations, producing water under the project for both river basins could cost between $300 and $500 an acre foot. By comparison, leasing surface water from irrigation districts can cost between $2,000-$3,000 an acre foot. Permanently retiring irrigated acres close to streams without piping the water and instead allowing groundwater to seep into rivers and
tributaries to increase flows can cost approximately $3,000 an acre foot, or more. Solely retiring irrigated acres lacks two primary benefits of the joint project being pursued by the four NRDs: the benefit of being able to time water releases to the river when additional flows are needed, and the certainty of the volume of water added to the stream. The ability to manage and measure the water is invaluable. Otherwise NRDs and the state are left to model and ultimately guess at the benefit of actions, leaving at least some uncertainty that the actions will meet the required objectives. Manageable streamflow enhancement projects are a good way to actually provide certainty and peace of mind that obligations will be met, and that Nebraskans are not at risk of losing the ability to manage their use the water in Nebraska.

A new report from the Nebraska Wildlife Federation says that solar power is a competitive alternative to traditional electrical sources. "The bottom line of our analysis is that solar PV costs have come down so far that individuals and businesses can now get electricity from solar photovoltaics about as cheaply as buying it from Nebraska utilities," said Duane Hovorka, president of the Nebraska Wildlife Federation.
The new Nebraska Wildlife Federation report, "Harness the Sun," can be found at: www.nebraskawildlife.org. "At a utility scale, it means the costs for new solar power plants is very competitive with a new coal-fired power plant [and cheaper than new nuclear]," Hovorka said. "This is a pretty big change from the conventional wisdom that solar is 20 cents a kilowatt hour or more. That is no longer the case."

Corn trade has ground sideways to lower this week with pressure from outside markets, but we experienced good buying support around $7.50. Overall, we are 7 lower on the week through Wednesday, which is in the lower part of the 20 cent range we have seen this week. Outside markets have generally been negative with crude oil and stocks selling off. The chart has maintained its sideways tone with support at $7.49 and $7.32, and fairly thick resistance at $7.69 to $7.77. Ethanol production has stayed at the lower side of the range, and is just below USDA projections. Slumping oil prices have crimped margins yet again. Basis has stayed very firm as processors have to work for bushels. Corn harvest is winding down, now 87% complete, with most remaining bushels in the east where rain has disrupted then end of harvest. The corn export inspections slipped to 7 million, as fresh export business is hard to come by. Weekly export sales were 142,300 metric tons with fresh corn export demand still hard to come by. Asian destinations have been very active in securing South American supplies, but the easily available stocks are running low, plus other feed grains are getting tighter as well. Informa projects 97.2 million acres of corn next year, as high prices continue to try to cure high prices. The near term range remains pretty sideways for now, it there does not seem to be anything on the horizon that would snap us out of it. The USDA will not adjust acres again until January, and there are still plenty of forward demand concerns out there. Hedgers call with questions. Dec. 12 732 780

Wheat
Soybeans
Wheat trade worked higher with support from the Ukraine export ban, and further weather issues in Australia. The weekly net change heading into Thursday is 12 higher in Chicago, KC is 13 higher, and Minneapolis is 13 higher. Winter wheat was listed at 81% planted and 49% emerged on the Monday afternoon progress report, both of these are roughly average. On the Chicago December chart trade is above the 10, 20, and 50-day moving averages, but will need to move above $9.10 to make the chart a lot friendlier. Spreads between wheat types have generally steady within their recent ranges lately. Australia looks to remain dry for the remained of the growing season, and South American wheat has been too wet, with flooding and disease becoming significant issues. Eastern Europe is in line for better rains for the new crop, but old crop supplies continue to run low in the near term. Other associated feed grains have seen strength in the cash market which is adding to the supportive tone. The Ukrainian export ban was widely expected but still generally supportive. Export inspections were better at 16 million bushels, and weekly sales were good at 572,000 metric tons. Hedgers call with questions.
Soybean trade has found good buying support to start the week, with trade working towards major resistance levels. For the week, beans are 36 cents higher through Wednesday. Meal is $19 higher, and oil is 32 higher. On the chart, we have support at $15.31, and resistance is at $15.75 which was tested on Wednesday. Harvest pressure is now 80% complete with rains slowing the remaining harvest. Basis has continued to firm as easily exhausted supplies run low, and crush margins are still pretty good. The USDA announced 105,000 metric tons of further sales, and Asian interest is expected to remain stout in the near term. Fund liquidation has stopped for the moment, and the commercial interest is still indicated as pretty strong. Export inspections were 61 million bushels, keeping shipments well ahead of the needed pace to meet USDA projections. South American weather looks to improve 10 days out, but there are still problems in the near term. China has continued to sell out of reserves, but interest is waning with US imports cheaper than domestic reserve auction prices. Export sales were mildly disappointing at 522,200 metric tons of beans, 173,100 of meal, and 12,000 of soyoil. Hedgers call with questions.

Ainsworth FFA Chapter’s Busy Service Schedule Provides Recognition for Firefighters, Diabetes Relief for Families Rob Maxwell, Ainsworth FFA Chapter Reporter The Ainsworth FFA Chapter has had a busy fall. The Animal Science class of 26 students and the freshman Ag Science class of 14 students participated in both the District and Area Range contest. On a quick rebound, many of the same students/members participated in the District X Livestock Evaluation Contest hosted in Bartlett, Nebraska. The senior team qualified for state competition by placing third. Team members are Ely Sharkey, Blaine Finney, Jordan Hollenbeck and Cheyenne Cook. On the community service side of the Ainsworth FFA Chapter’s activities, members have served several benefits for community organizations. The
largest was the recognition dinner for the hundreds of volunteers that helped fight fire and provided service to the firefighters during the wildfires in North Central Nebraska. They also provided free hamburgers to all fall sports athletes during lunch time of the homecoming football game. The previous week the chapter also had hosted a hamburger/pork feed and served approximately 300 patrons. On October 5, the Ainsworth FFA Chapter sponsored its second annual “Run For Health.” All of the proceeds of the run are donated to the local diabetes organization operated by the Brown County Hospital. The run included a 50 mile, four person relay; a 5 mile walk/run; and a 10 mile walk/run. Relay team members from South
Dakota, Colorado and various locations in Nebraska came to participate and promote a healthy lifestyle. The 5 and 10 mile walk/runs found 42 local individuals competing for bragging rights. A total of $1,500 in proceeds will be donated by the chapter to aid local families in dealing with the hardships associated with diabetes. Upcoming activities include attending the National FFA Convention, enjoying the chapter’s annual Clue Caper, preparing for District Leadership Skills Events, providing street crossing monitors for the downtown Safe Halloween Project and participating in the annual fruit sales program.

Spalding FFA West Boyd and Lynch Has Busy Start AgScience Students Attend to 2012-2013 District Range Judging School Year Jerome Engelhaupt, West Boyd FFA Advisor
Abby Knobbe, Agriculture Instructor/Spalding FFA Advisor The Spalding FFA Chapter has had a busy two months of school thus far, and things don’t appear to will be slowing down anytime soon! The year started off with seven students entering 2’ x 2’ barn quilts at the Nebraska State Fair. For many of these students, it was the first time they had ever had anything entered, so it was an exciting event. Shortly thereafter, the chapter started preparing for Range Judging. Ten members practiced and prepared, both in class and by taking several trips during class time to get out and practice plant identification. The unit culminated with the District Range Judging Contest held near Central City, where Spalding FFA member Daylinn Feik received a participation ribbon for her efforts. September 16 was a perfect fall day for the Spalding FFA Annual Blue Rock Shoot Fundraiser. A large number of community members showed up throughout the course of the day to participate and support the chapter. All participants had a fun and enjoyable day. The highlight of the fall semester will certainly be attending the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., October 23-27. Eight Spalding FFA members and Ms. Knobbe will be travelling down to Indianapolis to attend the convention. This is the first year that any members from the Spalding FFA Chapter will be attending. At convention, members Kyle Berger and Ethan Asche will be receiving their American Degrees – the first students from Spalding to ever do so! The entire chapter is excited about this amazing opportunity! Continued on page 26
Fifteen West Boyd and five Lynch AgScience students recently attended a range judging contest/clinic sponsored by the West Holt FFA Chapter at a site northeast of Atkinson, Nebraska, on the Dwaine Marcellus ranch. Here they joined approximately 270 other students from the District 10 FFA area. Range judging allows students to learn about and exercise their knowledge of range management in a competitive environment consisting of nine different stations. Stations 1 through 4 each consisted of six different range plants, for a total of 24 different plants. Students were challenged to identify the plants, as well as determine and identify the plant's life form (grass, grass-like, forb, or shrub), life span (annual, biennial or perennial), origin (native or introduced), season of growth for the grasses and grass-likes (warm or cool), livestock forage value (high, medium or low), and growth form for the grasses or grass-likes (bunch, stolon or rhizomatous).

McPherson County FFA Off to Quick Start
NEBRASKA WEATHER AND CROP REPORT
Tim Negley, McPherson County FFA Advisor
Soybeans harvested were 95 percent, ahead of 90 last year and 19 days ahead of 75 average. Winter wheat seeded was at 97 percent, near 98 percent last year and average. Winter wheat emerged was 58 percent, well behind 91 percent last year and 87 average due to dry soils. Sorghum mature was 97 percent, ahead of 92 last year and 87 average. Sorghum harvested was 63 percent complete, ahead of 39 last year and 26 average. Sorghum conditions rated 10 percent very poor, 42 poor, 35 fair, 12 good, and 1 excellent, well below 75 percent good to excellent last year. Proso millet harvest was 93 percent complete, near 94 last year and ahead of 88 average. Dry beans harvested were 91 percent, behind 99 last year and 98 average. Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 74 percent very poor, 23 poor, 3 fair, 0 good, and 0 excellent, well below 67 percent good to excellent last year and 66 average.
It may be hard to believe that in the middle of the Sandhills there might be a school that doesn’t have an FFA chapter. However, that was the case for McPherson County High School until the FFA chapter had its debut just three years ago. Again, this may sound surprising in a rural school of 35 high school students where many of them come from ranches, but true nonetheless. In its first year, the chapter consisted of nine members and competed in only two or three events. The McPherson County FFA chapter has grown now to 21 members, which includes more than half of the high school! These numbers keep growing annually too. Our chapter went from being the new chapter that had hardly any members to qualifying two teams for the state competition in just its second year. McPherson County FFA also quickly established as a chapter by qualifying a livestock management team which finished third at the District 9 competition, and winning first place at the livestock judging contest in the junior division, including bringing home the first place individual award. With the expectations now set high, the students are working hard to make sure that they experience the same success again this year. So far, we are off to a good start by
Continued from page 2
qualifying a junior and a senior team already this year in livestock judging. The members are really excited and taking the initiative to make sure they are ready for each competition. In fact, for the first time this year we will field a team for the parliamentary procedure contest. This is a big deal because just 12 months ago none of our members really knew much about parliamentary procedure. The excitement really took off this May when four of our officers attended a Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) session for three days and learned a great deal about being chapter officers. We have a great group of kids that are energetic and full of ideas and have great leadership potential. The community has really come together around our new McPherson County FFA Chapter, and right now the sky is the limit. Since FFA is new to the community, most of the community members have a great deal of interest and willingness to help make sure it succeeds. The fact that FFA is focused so much on building leaders for the future of the agriculture industry makes it a top priority in this community that was completely clueless to its existence just three short years ago. Today’s students will become tomorrow’s leaders, especially in a rural community such as McPherson County where many of the students come back home to work on the ranch.

Broken Bow FFA Harvests Test Plot Taelor Cole, Broken Bow FFA Reporter
Broken Bow FFA members had to clean out a 24-row planter and measure the seed to plant eight row test strips. In the front is Scott Gates and Logann Govier, taking care of one variety.
Participants included the freshman and sophomore classes, and the officer team. We first divided up into groups, with two officers in each group. We counted how many stalks it took to get 100 plants in our population count and then measured the distance. This was done for twenty varieties planted at two different plant populations. Our sponsors for the seed were Pioneer, AgriGold, AgVenture, LG Seeds and Dekalb. Our twenty-one acre field did extremely well for dryland corn on less than three-fourths of an inch of moisture since May 1. The total was 1,063 bushels at 23.8 percent moisture. Our FFA chapter would not have been able to be successful without the help of the Govier Farms and Frank and Logan Govier for donating the use of their land and equipment. We also appreciated Trotter service for the herbicide and fertilizer. It was a great experience to get new kids that have not yet worked with agriculture
On September 11, 2012 The Broken Bow FFA Chapter harvested our corn test plot.

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry
Drought Brings Uncertainty to Cattle Industry Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Nebraska agriculture faces serious consequences going into the 2013 growing season if drought conditions persist through the winter. One of the areas that will be hit the hardest is the cattle industry, which depends on Nebraska's 22 million acres of grassland. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska field office, reported on Friday that feedlots with capacities of 1,000 or more head contained 2.33 million cattle on feed on October 1. That was up 5 percent from last year and is the highest October inventory since the data series began in 1994. According to the report, placements in feedlots during September totaled 470,000 head, down 16 percent from 2011. Marketings of fed cattle during September totaled 370,000 head, up 6 percent from last year. As grasslands dried up all summer long, the number of cattle on feed in feedlots of 1,000 head or more headed up. In September, it was up 11 percent; in August, 13 percent; and July, 12 percent. In a feedlot, cattle gain a lot of weight quickly to fatten them up for slaughter. But the corn, soybeans and hay to feed the animals are also running higher. Earlier this month, USDA reported that Nebraska's corn crop is forecast at 1.3 billion bushels, down 15 percent from last year. Soybean production is forecast at 203 million bushels, down 22 percent. In September, the USDA reported that old-year corn and soybean stocks, both on and off farm in Nebraska, were down 21 percent and 17 percent respectively. Old-season corn stocks were down the lowest since 1996.
While cattle prices are high, the loss of grasslands to the drought and high feed costs are negating a lot of that gain. Jeff Stolle, vice president of marketing for the Nebraska Cattlemen, said there is "little margin for error" for cattle producers. "We are in desperate need, and I don't think it is an understatement, of precipitation in whatever form it might come," he said. The National Weather Service in Hastings issued a drought statement on Friday, saying that 19 of the 30 counties the Hastings weather office covers continue to be classified as D4 exceptional drought, including Hall County. Most of the remaining 11 counties remain in the D3 category of extreme drought. All 30 counties in the Hastings weather service area have received a drought disaster designation. The USDA has rated Nebraska grassland 97 percent poor or very poor. Also, soil moisture reserves have been rated 98 percent short or very short and topsoil moisture 95 percent short or very short. The lack of winter moisture and warmer weather pose a major concern for farmers and ranchers next year, especially if the growing season begins early next year. According to the National Weather Service in Hastings, soil moisture across south Central Nebraska is only in the 1 percent to 10 percent range north and west of Highway 6, where 50 percent is normal. Areas southeast of Highway 6 are generally in the 10 percent to 20 percent range. During the summer, the Nebraska Cattlemen's Stolle said there were accelerated placements of cattle in feedlots due to the drought. "We are getting to the point on the calendar now where you would see cattle coming off of

grass anyway due to just the end of the grazing season," he said. While it has been a hot, dry year, real humid days were not as common. "As long as you've got a breeze and there is not a lot of humidity, cattle tend to get along fine," Stolle said. He said it's been good feeding-weather, allowing the cattle a better rate of gain. In August, Nebraska slaughterhouses killed more than 623,000 head of cattle, which was up slightly from the year before. The average weight at time of slaughter was 1,365 pounds. "Performance has been very, very good," he said. Because of the drought, Stolle said, some producers have reduced their herds, and next year's calving season could see lower production. But the impact of culling herds this summer won't be fully realized until January, when the USDA releases its cattle and calf inventory. "Right now, we are just guessing," Stolle said. "But there is no doubt, when you look at it from a big-picture standpoint, we saw quite a liquidation last summer in Texas and Oklahoma because of the drought. "The drought, here in our part of the country this summer, is yet to be determined in how the liquidation was or is, but it definitely kept us from being able to hold back females and start to rebuild the breeding herd in some cases." Stolle said it is a critical situation. "We saw people who weaned calves early with the idea of preserving what feed resources they had for the cow herd," he said. "People have taken about every action that is feasible to try to hold their cow numbers together."

Lean hogs have backed away from the recent highs, with some profit taking surfacing, and softer trade in the cash market. The December contract is 120 lower on the week and has resistance at $7890 for the near term, with support at $7720. The trade has struggled to hold above the 200-day moving average. Packers have been killing hogs aggressively with good margins. The cash tone has been a little softer with supply catching up to demand. The pork cutout has been soft, but underlying support seems pretty good. Feed costs have firmed again, which should reignite liquidation talk, but world numbers are off hard and US pork may find a pretty good market. The back months have struggled with ideas that liquidation may slow more than expected. Holiday ham sales are just around the corner which should provide a boost. The poultry flock in still seeing signs of expansion. Hedgers call with questions, and focus on margins looking into next year.

Cattle prices have been effectively sideways to start the week with outside market pressure spilling over. The December contract is 20 lower on the week, and the November feeder cattle are 120 lower. Cash trade isn’t expected until late in the week, with feeders looking for $129 live or $200 dressed while packers have sat on their hands. Packer margins are still poor, but the cutout has been strong this week helping maters. Choice is up $3.65 at 199.36 and select up $3.07 at 183.82 on the week. The choice select spread has narrowed a little bit as choice bumps against the $200 barrier. Showlists have grown larger to the North, while the South has shrunk.

The USDA released the monthly Cattle on Feed report Friday afternoon, with cattle on feed just below expectations at 97%, placements below expectations at 81% vs. 85%, and marketings below expectations at 88% vs. 90 expected. Generally the report confirmed the growing tightness of cattle with the effects of the drought. With harvest winding down, more feeder cattle should be working their way into sale barns in the north. Forage availability is going to remain a concern coming forward. Hedgers call with questions.

Sandhills FFA Chapter Scores at Livestock Judging Todd Thompson, Sandhills FFA Advisor The Sandhills FFA Chapter has had a busy start to the school year. We had a kickoff meeting to inform the high school and junior high students of what FFA is and what we hope to accomplish. Since then we have had two regular chapter meetings and multiple officer meetings. We have 25 members in the Sandhills FFA Chapter. The first event the chapter went to was in Valentine, Nebraska, to a range judging competition. In October, ten members attended an IMPACT workshop to learn about leadership in our local chapters. To prepare our students for livestock judging, two students and their families allowed us to look at their livestock and take notes on the animals. After getting the results from the Curtis event, we found that one of our teams qualified to go to state. In the junior division of the livestock judging, one of our chapter members got a purple ribbon and two got red ribbons. In the senior division, two members got red ribbons and one person got a white ribbon. On October 20, our Sandhills FFA Chapter helped the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) host the Halloween party. Fruit sales start on November 5.
FFA Creed Written by E. M. Tiffany
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
Garfield County FFA
secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and 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 on 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 Ord FFA Chapter, Active and Growing Sydney Boden, Ord FFA Reporter The Ord FFA is a very active and growing chapter. This year the Senior Range Judging team won first place at the 2012 State Range Contest and will be going to National Range Judging in the spring. This is the fourth year in a row that the Ord Senior Range Team has won the State Range Contest. At this year’s Nebraska State Fair, Ord had one FFA member who went above and beyond while showing cattle. Silas Platte is this member. Silas Platte showed two heifers this year at the State Fair. With his shorthorn heifer, he won Grand Champion in his class, and with his British breeder, he won Grand Champion of his class. Both heifers were in the final rounds of showing, and his British breeder heifer won Reserve Grand Champion over all breeder heifers. This year at the end of March, Johnny Ference, who was Ord’s Chapter president for 2011-2012, was elected to serve as the 2012-2013 State FFA Secretary. Johnny Ference is the son of Dave and Chrie Ference. Johnny is attending the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is majoring in agricultural education, agronomy and agribusiness. The Ord Chapter is also very thankful for the Ord Economic Group and Green Plains and the land that these sponsors donated to the chapter. The chapter uses the donated land to grow corn and soybeans. The corn and soybean profits are used to fund many of the trips and contests that the chapter attends. The ground was donated five years ago. The chapter is very involved with the Ord community. They cook meat for groups and do many community service projects, such as cleaning up trash and delivering fliers to the people of Ord. In this past year, the Ord Chapter has been involved with state Envirothon, earned second at District Range and first at the State

State FFA Officers From Ord and Stuart Find Common Ground During Selection Process When State FFA officers Johnny Ference and Doug Larsen landed as roommates in Kearney this March for preliminary interviews in the Nebraska FFA officer selection process, they didn’t expect that it would be kind of like looking in a mirror. “Doug came back from Kearney this spring and said ‘I didn’t expect to have so much in common with my roommate.’ These kids kind of grew up together on the same path,” says Monty Larsen, Stuart FFA instructor. Monty also happens to be Doug’s father, which reflects the similar situation in Ord. Ord FFA Instructor David Ference also has a state officer from his chapter, his son Johnny. Mr. Larsen added, “When Doug found out that Johnny had also been selected as an officer finalist at State FFA convention, he was pretty excited.” Doug and Johnny joined 14 other students in Lincoln for the final selection process this past March. After the final interviews, the field was reduced to the seven students who would be selected as the 2012-2013 state officers. Both Johnny and Doug were selected in this group. Johnny Ference serves as the state secretary, and Doug is one of five vice presidents. Their paths didn’t part there. They even became more congruent, when both students elected to attend the University of Nebraska at Lincoln (UNL) this fall. Both young men have also been inducted into Farmhouse Fraternity, which has a long-standing tradition as a leader on the UNL East Campus. Best wishes and good luck to them both! Monty Larsen has become one of the most active small FFA chapter leaders in the state at Stuart High School. David Ference has taught the Ord FFA for 23 years.

SPALDING FFA... Continued from page 17 Many students both in the chapter and school are extremely excited about the addition of a greenhouse to the Spalding Ag Ed and FFA programs. The Spalding Ag Ed Department received an $8,000 grant from DuPont Pioneer to put towards the purchase of a greenhouse. Parents, community members and volunteers gathered on a Sunday afternoon to construct the greenhouse. The greenhouse will be used for Ag Ed classes, other classes within the school and FFA activities and projects. Students have already begun preparations for district leadership skills events that will take place in December. A number of students are working on writing speeches and memorizing the creed in addition to teams preparing for parliamentary procedure and ag demonstration. This year will see the largest group of participants Spalding has taken to leadership skill events, and students are looking for some high finishes! While Christmas break will give a short relief from all the hustle and bustle and activities, chapter activities will surely start again in full swing shortly after everyone returns in January!
BROKEN BOW FFA HARVESTS TEST PLOT Continued from page 20 activities. This gave them an opportunity to learn more and gives them an idea of what harvest season is like. The members are currently doing bulk density testing, comparing the rows that are traveled on versus the untraveled rows. They will also be testing for soybean cyst nematodes as a part of their Introduction to Ag Science class. Once again, we want to thank all of our sponsors, and especially Govier Farms.
Twenty eight students were helping to conduct population counts. Here they are receiving instructions on the proper way to conduct these.
Pat Taylor the district manager for AgVenture shows this planting crew how to check for planting depth and spacing. They also learned to identify potential problems if the seed to soil contact is not enough.

O’Neill FFA Emphasizes the Value of Community Service
Monty Larsen, Stuart FFA Advisor
Krystl A. Knabe, Agriculture Instructor/O’Neill FFA Advisor
Following a busy summer of community service projects, supervised agriculture experience home visits and a cooperative broiler and fryer project, the Stuart FFA Chapter has entered a very busy time of the year with activities, events and contests. The Stuart FFA Chapter kicked off the year with the annual parent and member “Softball Bash” held on August 12. Following the competitive softball game between the parent and the member teams, all were treated to a cream can supper, burgers, brats, salads and dessert bar. As the school year started, the chapter held its annual Program of Activities review night on August 27 with nearly all members in attendance, as they enjoyed pizza and planned out the upcoming year’s activities with a focus on community, chapter, and student improvement. Stuart FFA Chapter was well represented at the Nebraska State Fair in September with Devan King exhibiting the Champion arc welding board and the overall Grand Champion welding board, and Nick Kunz exhibiting the Runner-up arc welding board. Other FFA members earning a purple ribbon for other types of static exhibits such as range boards or horticulture displays were Brittany Hanzlik, Kayla Bouska, Mitchell Dvorak, Shyenne Dickau, Chase Broders, Alex Kunz, Courtni Kunz, Trina Swanson and Logan Olson.
The O’Neill FFA Chapter started off their summer with chapter officers attending the Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) Conference, held at The Leadership Center in Aurora, Nebraska, in late May. Officers learned how to get members involved in chapter activities, make things fun and share ideas with other chapters. “Hanging out with the state officers and National Officer was really fun!” said Vice President Jacob Goldfuss. Advisor Ms. Krystl Knabe added, “I am really excited to see the new officer team work together this year. They have great ideas and a desire to get the chapter even more involved in the school and community.” The officer team is excited to get this year started and begin using the skills they learned while at the COLT Conference. While at the COLT Conference, the chapter earned a gold rating on their 2011-2012 chapter scrapbook, and the 2012-2013 officer team earned a first place rating in the opening ceremonies competition. The summer continued with numerous community service activities. Chapter members assisted the Steps-N-Strides Fun-Run hosted in O’Neill on June 30. The funrun was held for autism awareness. Members drove four-wheelers to lead the 5K and 10K runs, and helped take runners’ times. They also

State FFA Officer from West Boyd One of “Nebraska’s Finest” Alix Mashino is an outstanding young lady and leader in Nebraska agriculture. She has a passion for agriculture, fostered by her being raised on a very progressive family farm and ranch. Her parents always attempted to provide a positive experience in agriculture while Mashino assisted in the daily chores and events surrounding livestock and crop production. She carried these positive experiences with her into her high school career, by being very active in the West Boyd FFA Chapter as an officer and participating in numerous career and leadership development events, in which she enjoyed much success. She also developed a national competitive SAE
(supervised agricultural experience) in beef production. Mashino sought out opportunities to develop her leadership skills by participating in other high school activities including FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America), Mock Trial, speech, one act plays and others. She has also sought ways to be an advocate for agriculture by participating in Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute and the first ever Nebraska Ag Career Academy. Alix Mashino is certainly one of “Nebraska’s Finest.”
O’NEILL FFA EMPHASIZES THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY SERVICE Continued from page 27 helped with the preparation of games for children after the races were done. Another fun-run members assisted with was the O’Neill Police Department K-9 Unit Paw Pounding Fun-Run. It was held in conjunction with the Summerfest celebration on July 14. FFA members helped the department with timing the race as well as directing the runners through the course. The Summerfest rodeo was also held on July 13 and 14, and members assisted the rodeo committee with setting up, coordinating the “best seat in the house,” taking tickets, sorting stock, setting up barrels, watching gates and cleaning up following the rodeo. Among all of the community service opportunities throughout the summer, the members managed to squeeze in a little fun too. O’Neill FFA Chapter members traveled to Burwell, Nebraska, in late July for the summer meeting and a tanking trip down the Calamus River. This is a popular event for members, and it allows them to have fun and enjoy the summer before fairs and school start back up. The Holt County Fair was held in early August in Chambers, Nebraska. Numerous members entered static exhibits such as houseplants, floral arrangements and crops. Miles Stagemeyer exhibited the Grand Champion Market Hog and also earned Grand Champion Senior Swine Showman. David Shields exhibited the Reserve Champion Shorthorn Market Steer and earned Reserve Champion Rate of Gain. The O’Neill FFA Chapter hosted their annual school kick-off barbeque on August 27. Members and potential new members enjoyed food and games together. Junior high members commented that they had a great time playing games like the scavenger hunt, balloon pop, and lifesaver relays. Chapter membership increased again this year --

totally 61 members! Two of those members earned State Champion in their proficiency areas at the State FFA Convention in April, earning them the honor of representing Nebraska at the national level. Tasha Lechtenberg earned a gold rating at the national level with her placement proficiency in agriculture communications. Brady Wakefield earned a silver rating at the national level with his entrepreneurship proficiency in the area of equine science-entrepreneurship. The Nebraska State Fair continues to showcase outstanding awards earned by chapter members, such as Tejlor Strope, who earned Division Reserve Champion Feeder Heifer. Many other chapter members exhibited static exhibits, including crops, houseplants and floral arrangements. Mattie McCabe earned a first place purple with her pothos houseplant entry. Miles Stagemeyer was awarded an FFA jacket through a local scholarship program this year. Through similar support at the state level, Amanda Pischel was awarded an FFA jacket through the Nebraska FFA Foundation Jacket Scholarship program. Support such as this is greatly appreciated, and nearly always is needed. The O’Neill FFA Chapter attended Husker Harvest Days held in Grand Island in midSeptember. The chapter decided once again to participate in the Monsanto and Heartland United Way Food Drive. The chapter ranked in the top three donors for amount of food donated.

The ‘peel & stick’ Universal Preheater attaches to the bottom or the side of the oil pan and converts the housing into a heat transfer element. It warms the oil without burning it making cold starts easy. It can be used on gearboxes, transmissions, transfer cases, water tanks and even bulk oil tanks. The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outlet and consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containing a metal grid. To install it, you clean an area on the bottom or side of the oil pan and press the pad onto it, then use silicone to seal the edges of the pad and place a flexible ceramic insulation pad over it. It is available in several models depending on the lube capacity. A 50 watt unit sells for $42 and a 350 watt unit sells for $133.
By ranking in the top three, the chapter received $250 from Monsanto for their outstanding efforts in the food drive. This summer the O’Neill FFA Chapter members evaluated the chapter’s needs and came to the decision that an FFA Boosters/Alumni organization should be formed. On August 12, an informational meeting for all those interested was held. There was a positive turnout at the meeting. Parents and community members may get involved in the O’Neill FFA Chapter through various activities, including preparing for contests, driving to events, assisting with chapter operations and possibly setting up scholarship funds. To be a part of the O’Neill FFA Boosters, one does not need to be a past member of any FFA chapter or have a child in FFA. It is open to the public. The boosters held a meeting on September 12, where officers were elected: Jim Gotschall, president; Steve Goldfuss, treasurer; and Gayleen Knopp, secretary. All parents and community members interested in supporting the O’Neill FFA Chapter and its members are encouraged to take part in the boosters.

FROM SEEDS TO WEEDS WITH THE ANSLEY FFA Continued from page 20 good idea on how the scavenger hunt started and even gave members free T-shirts after they completed their hunt. UNL had an exhibit that showed participants how to test meat for E. coli. There were several exhibits for food production that served food. One of them, the “Pork Place,” was where the Ansley FFA Chapter had lunch and enjoyed some of the best pork burgers in Nebraska. On Tuesday, September 18, the Ansley FFA Chapter participated in the Area IV District Range Judging in Merrick County. The contest consisted of nearly 500 participants. In the senior division, the Ansley chapter’s two teams placed 24th and 35th out of the 50 Senior Division teams. In the Junior Division, the three Ansley teams placed 25th, 29th and 53rd, out of 58 teams. The top Ansley Junior Division scorer placed 40th individually, out of 217 contestants. The top Ansley Senior Division scorer placed 54th out of 179 participants. The Ansley FFA Chapter will be attending the 85th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, on October 23-27 for the first time in the past several years. There are five members who
are excited to be attending. They are planning to attend national competitions, career fairs and educational tours, to broaden their horizons in the agricultural industry.
What is the name of that range plant?

WEST BOYD AND LYNCH AGSCIENCE STUDENTS... Continued from page 17
Meanwhile within the classroom component of the agriculture education department finds the Agriculture, Foods, and Natural Resources (AFNR) and the Animal Science classes studying the science of agriculture and the animal science industries through the CASE curriculum. The Advanced Agriscience Exploration students have been studying the livestock and the dairy industry. The Plant Science students will be working through the soils curriculum and then the public speaking component of their class, while the Welding students are honing their skills in both the arc and oxyacetylene components of the welding curriculum as well as learning about safety and metallurgy. The Stuart FFA Chapter and Ag Education Department would like to encourage parents, community members and stakeholders to inquire about some of our many activities coming up this school year as we look forward to your continued support of our program.

the site by comparison to the types that are typically on an undisturbed site of that type. Students also determined the degree of use -amount grazed in a clipped area in relationship to a non-grazed, non-clipped area. Station 8 consisted of a range map where students determined available animal unit months (AUMs), given the AUMS per acre and total acres of each range type on the map, and the needed AUMs based on the number of animals grazed and the number of months planned for grazing the unit. Students also made recommendations for range management regarding: increasing or decreasing livestock numbers grazed; water, salt and mineral locations; weed and brush control; whether to cross fence and initiate rotational grazing systems, and if they should implement prescribed burning or change the season of grazing. Station 9 was a comprehensive written test regarding various range management practices and range establishment. The contest/clinic was very challenging in part due to drought conditions having an adverse effect on the normal growth of range plants, as well as the fact that most of the West Boyd and Lynch students were ninth and tenth grade students. After the contest/clinic the students were treated to a lunch of grilled brats, chips, beverage and cookies, compliments of the West Holt FFA chapter. Special thanks goes to the West Holt FFA Chapter and the Dwaine Marcellus family for providing and arranging a tremendous educational experience for these students!!

The Stuart FFA Chapter also celebrated Farm Safety Week by holding several safety presentations designed to introduce elementary students to safety issues in agriculture, during the National Fire Prevention Week. The chapter worked with State Fire Marshall, Don Mast to present the interactive activities. Elementary students were also given an opportunity to participate in a farm and fire safety poster contest. Several ag students participated in the District Range Judging Contest held on September 14 near Atkinson, Nebraska, as the event was hosted by the West Holt FFA Chapter. Additionally, ag students have taken part in two livestock judging events. They traveled to Valentine, Nebraska, on Wednesday, October 10, to participate in the PreDistrict Livestock Selection clinic. Students gained valuable insight into the problem-solving and critical thinking skills necessary for a livestock selection contest. The following week students took their newly gained skills and put them into use at the District Livestock Selection contest held at Bartlett, Nebraska. The junior team of Alex Kunz, Brittany Hanzlik, Shyenne Dickau and Hailey Paxton earned the District Runner-up plaque and will compete at the State Livestock Selection Contest in Lincoln at the State FFA Convention in April. There were several senior individuals placing high in the oral reasons component of the contest, namely, Sam Sattler, 1st; and Kayla Bouska and Shelby Paxton, T-3rd. The senior team of Samantha Sattler, Aaron Ammon, Trevor Ramm and Shelby Paxton placed 12th, with Samantha Sattler in 17th place and Aaron Ammon in 25th leading the scoring. The Stuart FFA Chapter and members will be recognized at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, as the chapter will be recognized for the two-star National Chapter Rating, and Travis Wallinger will represent our chapter as he vies to be the national proficiency winner in the Grain Production-Placement proficiency area. Additionally, Paul Johnson, Ben Kaup and Becky Ramm will earn their American FFA Degree, the highest degree to be bestowed on a FFA member, at this year’s National FFA Convention.
