Livestock News "The cattle industry is ready to set records for high prices this year and next, said Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt.

"Although this is positive news for finished cattle prices, calves and feeder cattle still face the pricedepressing burden of high feed costs.

In the longer run, current high feed prices will keep the industry in a liquidation phase, and smaller beef supplies in coming years will be pos-

itive for returns for years to come," Hurt said.

The cattle industry continues to adjust to high feed prices not only from the last three years, but also from the most recent increases in corn, distillers, and soybean meal costs. The longer-term adjustments continue to play out in the reduction of cow numbers, he said.

"The most recent surge in feed prices will likely keep producers

from expanding until feed prices moderate.

That will not be until the 2011 U.S. crops are assured, which is still at least 10 months away. This means cow numbers will not likely expand until 2012 and that beef supplies will not start to grow until 2014," Hurt said.

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Al Dutcher Report During the past two weeks, dryness continued unabated for portions of south central, central, and east central Nebraska.

A storm system moving across the central Plains during the 10/23-10/24 time frame brought limited moisture (< 0.50 inches) to western Allen Dutcher Nebraska, while heavy rain (1-4 inches) and hail was reported at various locations in north central, northeast, and southeast Nebraska. A second system rapidly moved across the state during the 10/25-10/26 time frame, resulting in light to moderate(0.25-0.75 inches) totals to northern Nebraska. This system eventually strengthened over Lake Superior and set all time low barometric pressure readings at numerous locations around the Great Lakes region. The corn harvest is virtually complete

with 76% of the acreage harvested as of 10/24.

Week One Forecast: 10/30-11/5: Weather models indicate that the majority of this period will be precipitation free. A fast moving low is projected to lift northeast from the southwestern U.S. and weaken as it moves toward the Great Lakes. Light precipitation (<0.25 inches) is possible across the western 1/3 of the state during the second half of 10/31. This moisture is expected to clear eastern Nebraska during the afternoon hours of 11/1. High temperatures on 10/30 are projected to be in the low 70's south to mid 60's north, cooling into the upper 60's south to low 60's north on 10/31. Further cooling is likely on 11/1 as the low moves east of the state and pulls colder Canadian air into the region. Highs will range from the low 50's north to upper 50's south, warming into the mid 60's west to mid 50's east by 11/2. Warmer temperatures are in store for the 11/3-11/5 period with highs in the low to mid 70's west and upper 60's to low 70's east.

Week Two Forecast: 11/6-11/12: Current model projections indicate dry weather will dominate the region during the 11/6-11/8 time frame, with high temperatures ranging from the upper 60's

south to low 60's north. If the models are correct, a potent upper air trough will enter the western High Plains region on 11/9 bringing heavy snow to the mountains of Colorado and Wyoming and cold rain to the western 1/3 of the state. Highs are projected to range from upper 60's southeast to low 40's northwest. The low will move toward the Great Lakes on 11/10, drawing enough cold air behind it to possibly generate moderate to heavy snowfall across the western 2/3 of the state. Rain, possibly heavy, is projected by the weather models for eastern Nebraska during the daytime hours, possibly turning to all snow by evening with light accumulations possible.

Highs will range from the 30's west to mid 40's east. Models are generating this storm at the tail end of the forecast period, so considerable uncertainty in regards to moisture totals and the eventual storm track still exist. Skies should clear on 11/12 with highs projected to range from the low 40's north to upper 40's south. A weaker system is forecasted to cross the state on 11/12, bringing a mixture of rain and/or snow to the state. Highs will range from the upper 30's north to mid 40's south.

Agricultural Summary: For the week ending October 24, 2010, weather conditions have allowed producers to make excellent harvest progress for the fourth week in a row, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Soybean harvest neared completion at 96 percent, approximately two weeks ahead of average. Corn harvest jumped to 74 percent complete, about 3 weeks ahead of average.

Crops are drying down in the field saving producers on drying costs. Harvested fields were beginning to get worked up as well as some fertilizer applications being made. Rangeland is starting to show some stress due to the dry conditions.

Weather Summary: Temperatures averaged 4 degrees above normal across Nebraska. High temperatures reached the mid to upper 70’s across the state while lows were recorded in the upper 20’s to low 30’s. Light precipitation fell late in the week mostly in the western twothirds of the state and the far southeast counties. The North Central District averaged the most moisture at over .5 of an inch.

Field Crops Report: Corn harvest was 74 percent complete, well ahead of 15 last year and 38 average.

Cleaning and Winterizing Garden Tools David Lott, Horticulture Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, North Platte, NE As gardens, flower beds, landscapes and lawns are being cleaned up and winterized for the end of the growing season, there is one job that helps finish out the gardening year. Winterizing gardening tools will help keep them clean and in working condition for the next year. By taking care of this job, the tools will be ready to use, and gardeners will save time and money repairing or replacing them next spring.

Ideally, tools should be cleaned after every use during the gardening season. Many times though, they are re-used without a thought about cleaning or maintaining them. Over time, tools become coated in soil, grease, plant resin and rust. They also can become dull, to the point that they don’t cut or dig as well as they did when they were new. Thankfully, neglected tools can be conditioned into workable condition at the end of the year. Cleaning and winterizing tools can be done outdoors as well as indoors. That is why this job is truly one of the last projects of the growing season!

Here are some easy garden tool cleaning and winterizing steps that can be completed without much time and effort from Linda Naeve, from Iowa State University Extension. Remove debris from hoes, shovels and spades with a steady spray of water, a stiff brush and soapy water.

Clean the blades with steel wool, and apply naval jelly to remove rust spots. Sharpen the edges of hoes, shovels and spades with a file or a sharpen-

ing stone. Hold the file at an angle over the beveled edge. Push the file in a single-stroke motion along the edge away from the blade of the tool. Turn over the tool and lightly file the back of the blade to remove the “burr” on the edge. Wipe or clean blades with petroleum-based lubricants after the sharpening process to reduce the chance of rust accumulating.

Remove soil and debris from tool handles, and wipe the handles with a cloth soaked in boiled linseed oil. Remove dried sap from shears and pruning equipment with turpentine. Remove debris from tight places on these tools with an abrasive emery cloth. Sharpen cutting blades and shears with a ceramic stone. Hold the stone at an angle, and push across the edge away from the blade. File off the “burr” on the opposite side.

Coat the sharpened blades with a spray lubricant to remove friction and prevent rust.

After following all these steps, it is important to store cleaned garden tools for the winter.

Select a clean, dry place to store tools. Tall metal containers or tool caddies are great places to store tall tools with handles. Store them with the handles down in the container. Sturdy hooks on the side of a wall that will hold the tools are another good choice for large and small tools.

Small tools can be stored in drawers as long as it is dry, and will not promote rust development over the winter.

If you have any questions about cleaning and winterizing garden tools, please contact me at dlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 532-2683, or by contact your local University of NebraskaLincoln Extension Office.

Serve Meat Safely Sheryl Fellers, Dawson County Extension Service Cooking meat until it is as tough as a hockey puck will ensure it is done, but this is unnecessary. Follow these simple guidelines for consumers and meat can be safely cooked and delicious.

Raw meat that will not be used within a few days should be frozen for long-term storage. The best place to defrost meat is in the refrigerator.

Place all meat on the bottom shelf so that dripping juices will not contaminate other food.

Do not leave meat out on the counter to defrost.

Raw meat left out for more than two hours should be discarded, even if it smells or looks safe. Some bacteria, such as staphylococcus, produce toxins not destroyed by high cooking temperatures. On days with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, perishable food should not be left out for more than an hour. Bacteria multiply rapidly between temperatures of 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. One bacterium can double in 20 minutes, meaning one bacteria left at room temperature can become more than 2 million bacteria after only 7 hours.

Raw meat and poultry does not need to be washed, and washing them actually increases the risk of causing cross contamination by spreading bacteria to ready-to-eat foods, kitchen utensil and counter surfaces.

When cooking meat, make sure it reaches the right internal temperatures to ensure all dangerous bacteria have been killed. Just because food looks, smells and tastes OK does not mean it has been cooked to the proper temperature. One in four hamburgers turn brown before they have reached a safe internal temperature.

The only way to ensure dishes have cooked to a proper internal temperature is to use a food ther-

mometer. Chicken, turkey and ground poultry must be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit; pork, egg dishes, hamburger and ground meats to 160 degrees; and beef, lamb and veal steaks and roasts to 145 degrees.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, most seafood should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, but there are additional ways to determine if seafood is safely done.

Allow fin fish to stand for 3 to 4 minutes to let them finish cooking. Then slip a sharp knife point into the flesh, pull it aside and make sure the meat edges are opaque and the centers are translucent with flakes starting to separate.

Shrimp, lobster and crab should have red shells and pearly, opaque meat. Scallops should be milky white or opaque and firm. Clams, mussels and oysters are ready to eat when their shells open. Always discard ones with shells that have not opened.

At-risk groups should avoid seafood with high mercury content. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, older adults and people who are immunocompromised should avoid eating shark, swordfish, King Mackerel and tilefish.

They could still eat up to 12 ounces, or two average meals, of low-mercury seafood a week. The five most commonly eaten low-mercury seafood are shrimp, light canned tuna, salmon, pollock and catfish. When eating local fish or other seafood with uncertain mercury contents, eat only 6 ounces, or one average meal, a week.

These at risk groups also should be cautious when eating deli meats and frankfurters. Always reheat these meats to steaming hot temperatures to decrease the risk of listeriosis.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts •

Uneducated

by Lee Pitts

Did you see where two Princeton sociologists conducted a study at eight “elite” universities and found that while most extracurricular activities increased a prospective student’s chances of admission, it actually worked against them if they were leaders, and or, won awards in 4H, the FFA and ROTC? I can only assume that these “elite” colleges were Ivy League schools where professors and grad students hold teas to discuss Plato and Aristotle and eat food they’d have no idea how to grow.

In our society there is a stigma attached to anyone who gets their hands dirty or is a vocational student. When I was a vo ag student 40 years ago our ag classrooms were separated far from the main campus and most of the teachers likewise felt that vo-ag kids dwelled on the outskirts of civilization.

We were second class citizens and I was expected to go to law school or to follow my brother to West Point. While I had the grades to go to an Ivy League school I had neither the money nor the desire. Instead I went to a college whose motto was “Learn

By Doing” and it has served me well.

I have a chip on my shoulder about your average white-collar worker looking down their nose at vocational education and then complaining when there is no one to work on their Mercedes. That chip on my shoulder flared up again when I offered to help a lost soul who was stranded by the road with his hood up and his engine sputtering.

He was staring at the motor but it might as

well have been the trunk for all he knew.

“Hi, got a problem?” I asked, trying to be friendly. “Whoa, first thing I’d suggest, is that you back away from the engine or else take off your jacket and that necktie.”

“Why do you say that?” asked the uppity Mr. Smarty Pants.

“Because your tie could get tangled in a belt or fan and could snap your neck.”

He jumped back as if a firecracker went off in his shorts. “What do you do?” he said in a way that implied I was inferior because I had calluses instead of a cum laude.

“Mostly I make my living as a writer,” I replied.

“You must have had a very good liberal arts education then.”

“Nope. I was a vocational agriculture student. What do you do?”

“After graduating from Yale,” he made a point of telling me, “I taught art appreciation at the local university. Needless to say, vocational students didn’t enroll in my classes. I often wonder how people like you can fully appreciate art, literature and music if you have not been “enlightened” on these subjects.”

“Oh, we muddle along in the dark the best we can, I suppose.”

“I can’t understand why students would waste their education on learning how to feed a cow or turn a wrench. These skills can be learned on the most menial of jobs.”

“You should take better care of your car,” I said, growing more irritable.

“Oh, I’ll have a mechanic take care of all that. Can you see what’s wrong?” “Well, I’m just a vocational student but I’d say that frayed wire that is arcing to that piece of metal and throwing off sparks might be a clue.” (Mr. Smarty Pants reminded me of the old saying about a fellow who was so smart he could name a cow in nine different languages, but so stupid that he bought a cow to ride on.)

“Can you fix it?” the Ivy Leaguer begged the vocational student.

“I already did but you’d better get your old wiring harness replaced.”

“Yes, yes. How much do I owe you?” the condescending Yale man asked.

I should have just disconnected a spark plug wire or two, so that down the road the Yale grad might come to more fully appreciate the complexities of the “infernal” combustion engine and the many benefits of a vocational education. Instead I merely “enlightened” him of twenty bucks. I considered it his downpayment on a tuition in hopes that one day he too might become truly educated.

Another Trillion Dollar Deficit

It’s plain and simple - you deserve fiscal responsibility from your government. Unfortunately, Washington has failed to live up to this basic tenet. Instead, through inaction and complacency of both political parties, Americans have been saddled with ever increasing federal spending, endless bailouts, and economic uncertainty.

This lack of responsibility was brought into clear focus just a few days ago when the Treasury Department said our government ran a $1.29 trillion deficit last fiscal year. This is the second year in a row the federal deficit has exceeded $1 trillion and is the second largest deficit in American history – with only last year’s record-setting deficit of $1.4 trillion clocking in higher.

Prior to last year, the federal deficit had never exceeded $459 billion – hardly acceptable even then. But the past two years are the highest spending levels in nearly all of American history except for World War II. Federal revenues last fiscal year amounted to $2.1 trillion, but federal spending exceeded $3.4 trillion. Anyone who has ever put together a

household budget knows the simple truth: you can’t spend more than you make without accumulating more debt.

I’ve talked to thousands of Nebraskans and we agree any deficit is unacceptable.

And Republicans aren't beyond blame. From fiscal years 1996-2007, Republicans in charge of Congress managed to average $104 billion deficits each year. But with Democrats at the helm the past four years, our economic situation has gone from dark to dismal. In fact, this year’s deficit alone is $45 billion higher than the combined total for the twelve years of Republican control.

Let’s put this into context - America's deficit is almost the size of Canada’s economy, larger than the economy of Mexico and roughly the same as the economic output of India, a nation with more than a billion people. In fact, more than 94 percent of the world’s economies are smaller than our nation’s annual deficit. But if that’s not troubling enough, the sobering fact is Washington’s appetite for spending equals 8.9 percent of the economy.

Debt and deficits will destroy our nation’s eco-

nomic future, and this common sense fact: we cannot continue to spend dollars we don’t have.

There is a better way. I am proud to be cosponsoring an amendment requiring Congress to pass a balanced budget – a simple step millions of American families do every year.

Further, with the Pledge to America, Republicans have offered a clear and positive plan to provide the fiscal discipline we need to jumpstart job creation and get our economy moving again. Ensuring we protect our seniors, veterans, and our troops, Republicans will rollback government spending to 2008 levels – which could save us $100 billion a year – and freeze current tax levels for at least two years. This would provide certainty to job creators so they can invest in jobs and not fear punishing taxes from Washington.

Americans know the first step towards financial security is to live within their means. It’s a value common sense Nebraskans like us live out each and every day. Let’s hope Washington learns this simple lesson before it is too late.

Create New Markets - Improve Nebraska’s Economy

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

Early this fall, leaders from about a dozen countries with exotic names like Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan converged on Nebraska for an important conference that could lead to increased trade with the Cornhusker State which will expand our economy and create jobs.

These countries, along with more widely known ones such as Russia, Ukraine and Bulgaria, who were also here, are in Eurasia and are among the countries that once made up the Soviet Union.

From Cold War to Warm Cooperation It was hard to imagine that we were having this conference to discuss ways of doing business together so near to the headquarters of the former Strategic Air Command that watched over those old Soviet countries during the Cold War. But, like we did with former adversaries such as Japan, Germany and Vietnam, the U.S. is constantly to expand our trading partners. I was very pleased to speak to the conference because one of the most effective ways to forge new relationships that also promote cooperation is through trade where everyone benefits.

The Cold War is over but there are still plenty beneficial for Nebraskans and our new trading of nuclear missiles in our countries whose numbers need to be reduced. The new START Treaty, partners.

It is supported by the current commander at $868 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 1998. I led eight trade missions overseas that StratCom as well as 7 past commanders and the resulted in at least $47.5 million in sales and Secretary of Defense whom I agree with wholeheartedly when he says the world will be safer investment for Nebraska business.

The increased trade was good for Nebraska as it with the treaty than without it.

I have a lot of hope for the future. Friendly meetexpanded our economy and created jobs. That’s what we’re hoping to do by increasing trade with ings like the one we had in Middle America Eurasian countries like Russia, which is the between former adversaries to pursue common United States’ 23rd largest goods and trading part- goals provides that optimism.

Keystone Pipeline Anslysis Fall Far Short

Lincoln Office: 294 Federal Building 100 Centennial Mall North Lincoln, NE 68508 Tel: (402) 476-1400 Fax: (402) 476-0605

As your Senator, it is my duty to review federal actions that might impact resources critical to Nebraska. I take this duty seriously – federal consideration of the Keystone XL Pipeline is no exception. As proposed, the pipeline route runs directly through the sandy soils of the Sandhills region, and runs also through the heart of the Ogallala Aquifer.

Last week I sent a letter to the State Department outlining what appears to be a deficiency in the route review process. Based on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), it appears the federal government considered only routes that crossed the U.S. border in the State of Montana. Presumably this is because the company proposing to build and operate the pipeline, TransCanada Corporation, listed only the Montana entry point on its permit application.

This limited scope may have led to the conclusion that the proposed route, through the middle of Nebraska and right through the Aquifer, is the best route because it is the shortest route. Both

TransCanada and the Department of State have signaled that the shortest route is almost always the most environmentally favorable. However, considering other entry points into the United States could significantly impact the final determination of the best route in terms of the environmental impact. My letter asks the Department of State if they have considered other entry points into the United States, such as an entry point that runs nearly straight south from North Dakota into and through Nebraska, closely following an existing Keystone pipeline. This would be a shorter route through the U.S. If they have not considered it, I asked the Department of State to broaden the scope of the environmental review to include this examination.

In the letter, I asked also if the Department of State looked at the implications of a leak in sandy soil along the proposed route compared to the implications of a leak in less porous soil along alternative routes. The DEIS acknowledges that the soil is sandy – or porous – along the proposed

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

route, but does not compare the impact of a potential leak there versus in the clay soil along the existing pipeline. Again, if the Department of State has not done this comparison, I ask them to complete it.

I am committed to ensuring that the Department of State conducts a thorough analysis and considers all reasonable routes. After all, the Aquifer is an irreplaceable natural resource and we must take appropriate steps to protect it.

Our country’s demand for additional energy is a top priority. Increased oil supplies are part of the solution, along with many other sources. Nebraska already plays a role in delivering oil through existing pipelines in our state. I am not opposed to additional pipelines. But, we have a responsibility to ensure the safest route is selected. That’s why I am committed to ensuring that federal agencies conduct a thorough review and all appropriate routes are considered. Until my questions are answered, I simply cannot support the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project.

The Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) - Final Rule Provisions BCAP, created in the 2008 Farm Bill, is a primary component of the domestic agriculture, energy, and environmental strategy to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil, improve domestic energy security, reduce carbon pollution, and spur rural economic development and job creation. BCAP provides incentives to interested farmers, ranchers and forest landowners for the establishment and cultivation of biomass crops for heat, power, bio-based products and biofuels.

BCAP will address a classic chicken-and-egg challenge: if commercial-scale biomass facilities are to have sufficient feedstocks, then an established, large-scale energy crop source must exist.

Conversely, if profitable crop production is to occur, then a viable consumer base must exist to purchase the product.

With the enactment of the updated federal Renewable Fuels Standard, which requires 36 billion gallons of advanced biofuels in the national fuel supply by 2022, new crops must keep pace with these revised Federal targets. Many bioenergy crops need several years to become established.

Many bioenergy facilities need several years to reach commercial scale. BCAP serves as catalyst to unite these multiple dynamics by reducing the financial risk for landowners who switch from familiar, revenue-generating crops to new, unconventional crops in preparation for these emerging markets.

Crop producers and bioenergy producers will be able to team together to submit applications to USDA to be selected as a BCAP project area.

If selected, crop producers will be eligible for reimbursements of up to 75 percent of the cost of establishing a bioenergy perennial crop.

Producers also can receive up to 5 years of annual payments for grassy crops (annual or perennial), and up to 15 years of annual payments for woody crops (annual or perennial).

Assistance for the collection, harvest, storage and transportation of biomass to biomass conversion facilities will be available for 2 years, per producer, in the form of a matching payment for up to

$45 per ton of the delivery cost to the facility.

HIGHLIGHTS Expenditures During the Notice of Funding Availability period, $250 million was expended during roughly one quarter year of BCAP matching payments.

Refinements to the BCAP final rule has the BCAP cost-benefit analysis estimating that total expenditures over 15 years will be $461 million.

Blue, White and Green-Collar Job Creation The Record of Decision on the BCAP Environmental Impact Statement estimates the total impact from implementation to be an estimated $88.5 billion in economic activity.

New Energy Crop Feedstocks BCAP will reducing the financial risk for producers who support emerging biofuels markets - - crops including, but not limited to switchgrass, miscanthus, fast-growing woody poplar, jatropha, algae, energy cane, and pongamia.

Enhanced stewardship and conservation measures Biomass must be certified to have been collected and harvested only with an approved conservation, forest stewardship, or similar plan to protect soil and water quality and preserve land productivity into the future.

Harvesting must occur with an approved harvest plan.

BCAP project areas cannot occur on native sod.

All crop collection, harvesting and transportation must be in strict accordance with invasive plant species protections.

Protects existing markets Eligible materials may not qualify for matching payments for BCAP purposes if UDSA determines that in those distinct localities that the materials are used for pre-existing markets.

Provides feedstock neutrality The eligibility of both woody and herbaceous biomass for energy purposes is fully maintained, and the objectives of heat, power, biofuels and biobased products all remain supported by BCAP, as required by statute.

Kick-starts liquid cellulosic biofuels to meet Renewable Fuel Standard targets Provides bonus incentives for the cultivation of cellulosic biofuels that have 60 percent lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions.

Ensures additional production Promotes the cultivation of new biomass for new purposes.

Doesn't penalize existing users of biomass for heat and power.

Disallows windfalls or undue financial gains for producers seeking payment for existing practices.

Two year eligibility Prior (NOFA period) participants are not penalized. Previous participation counts against the "clock", but clock stopped between the last matching payment received under the NOFA and the next matching payment received after the final rule.

Matching payments for eligible materials.

Provides for matching payments to eligible material owners at a rate of $1 for each $1 per dry ton paid by a qualified biomass conversion facility, in an amount up to $45 per dry ton. An eligible material owner may be a producer of an eligible crop or a person or entity with the legal right to collect or harvest eligible material. By law matching payments may be made to eligible material owners for a maximum of two years.

Eligible materials remain the same; qualification for matching payments is based upon the sequence of collection, harvest, storage, transportation and delivery.

Federal Scientists Find Ethanol Doesn't Impact Land Use "A report prepared for the California Air Resources Board by a team of scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory found corn ethanol contributed "minimal to zero" impact from the Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) scheme.

The report was compiled by the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge lab at the request of CARB, which has appointed several teams of expert working groups to assess the methodology and data that went into California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. That standard used a controversial ILUC formula that heavily penalized American grain farmers for carbon emissions theoretically produced by farmers overseas.

"This should put the stake into the heart of the bizarre ILUC scheme. Here are some of the best scientists in the country " scientists who have no stake in the game " who found that ethanol had little to no impact from ILUC," said Tom Buis, CEO of Growth Energy. "We must ask why California insists on going forward with a regulation that is based not just on controversial theory, but a theory that has been disproven."

Buis said the report recommended that CARB update its ILUC calculations with the newest ILUC formula models and data. The study, which examined use of grain and demand for ethanol over a 10-year period, found that increased demand by ethanol was largely met by reallocating domestic uses of grain " and not by reducing grain for export, which is the basis for the ILUC theory.

Renewable Fuels Association Vice President for Research and Analysis Geoff Cooper also said the most recent work on ILUC is showing that ethanol expansion in the U.S. simply isn't incurring the type of land use changes that were originally hypothesized.

"The initial results recently presented by the Department of Energy are further proof that

America can continue to meet its global responsibilities to provide food and feed, while simultaneously providing a cleaner, domestic alternative to petroleum " all without needing to bring new lands into agriculture," Cooper said.

The Oak Ridge analysis, first presented to an expert working group focusing on California's low carbon fuel standard (LCFS) last week, looked at real world data on land use from 2001 to 2008.

Cooper said the time frame is significant as U.S. ethanol production more than quadrupled during this era. The researchers found that, "Empirical evidence does not support significant effects on U.S. commodity exports (and) other crops or cropland expansion in the U.S." "If substantial indirect land use changes were truly occurring as the result of U.S. ethanol growth, there would have been clear evidence of that during the past decade, as 2001 to 2008 was the period in which U.S. ethanol production rose dramatically," said Cooper. "As the data clearly indicates, the types of land use effects hypothesized by some crude, early analyses didn't happen."

Coinciding with the Department of Energy research, a paper published in Environmental Science & Technology and authored by Bruce Dale and other researchers at Michigan State University, found that significantly larger volumes of biofuels can be produced without incurring ILUC. According to the research: "Using less than 30 percent of total U.S. cropland, pasture, and range, 400 billion liters (106 billion gallons) of ethanol can be produced annually without decreasing domestic food production or agricultural exports. This approach also reduces U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 670 Tg CO2equivalent per year, or over 10 percent of total U.S. annual emissions, while increasing soil fertility and promoting biodiversity. Thus we can replace a large fraction of U.S. petroleum

consumption without indirect land use change."

In related ethanol news, American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) Chairman Keith Dittrich of Nebraska dispels another false impression being pushed by ethanol foes that there's not enough corn to go around and that is causing the higher prices.

Dittrich said U.S. Department of Agriculture's Corn Supply and Demand report of Oct. 8 projects U.S. corn exports to only reach 2 billion bushels in the 2010-2011 marketing year that just began last month.

"At 2 billion bushels, U.S. corn exports will be less than in 1980 as U.S. corn exports have averaged below 2 billion bushels most of the last 30 years, making corn demand for ethanol the real superstar for corn utilization," said Dittrich.

He said when putting corn for ethanol vs. corn exports in perspective, "we must consider that an estimated 4.7 billion bushels of corn use for ethanol in MY 2010-11 vs. 2 billion bushels of corn exports means that corn demand for ethanol is 235 percent more than corn demand for export."

"This means that all of the so-called export oriented/free trade' policy over the last 30 years has done little more than maintain the status quo for exports," said Dittrich.

Corn trade has been higher this week due to chart buying and bullish sentiment surrounding the upcoming November USDA Supply and Demand report. The weekly net change is 17 higher on the December contract and March is up 18. The overall market momentum is still higher and the trade looks poised to challenge the $6 area, but fears of demand rationing should limit upside above that level. China did state last weekend that industrial feed usage is up 22% from this time last year which should promote additional import interest. There were rumors early this week that China had bought 3 million tons of US corn, but COFCO, China's government grain buyer, indicated on Wednesday that China has not yet secured any US corn. They did not rule out the possibility of participating in future purchases. JCI, a private Chinese analyst, indicated last week that China may have to import a total of over 5.8 million tons. It should be noted that the JCI estimate is made with the assumption that China will only produce 153 million tons of corn, which is down nearly 13 million tons from the current USDA estimate. Outside market influence should continue to direct trade near-term, but the long-term focus will remain on the USDA and their upcoming November yield estimates, South American weather, and Chinese import activity. On the weekly report, corn harvest was listed at 83% complete versus 20% last year and the 49% 5-year average. The weekly export sales were reported at 550,800 tons for the 2010/2011 year; there were net cancelations of 500 tons for the 11/12 year. The sales were just above expectations, but this is still a disappointing number. The data to date suggests our current USDA export number is overstated, but the thought at this time is that the poor quality world wheat is fulfilling world feed demand along with DDGs and corn sales will pick up as we move forward. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been higher this week due to global weather concerns and limited selling interest following the negative chart move last week. The weekly net change is 32 higher on the December Chicago contract, KC is up 35, and Minneapolis is up 30. Plus we moved above all major moving averages on the close on Wednesday so further upside appears likely based on this positive chart move. Wheat has actually been the bullish leader this week. Russia extended its export ban last week through June of next year; some private analysts there now estimate that exports of all grain next year will not exceed 7 million tons due to reduced production and the need to replace government stocks. Global weather concerns have supported the market this week; additional rain is needed to alleviate drought concerns in both northern China and the US winter wheat belt. Strong winds across the US have also lowered winter wheat production prospects. The crop progress report had winter wheat plantings at 88% complete which is 4% ahead of the 5-year average and 11% ahead of last year. The first aggregate crop ratings were only 47% good to excellent versus 62% a year ago. The poor condition numbers have forced some unwinding of long corn/beans versus short wheat spreads. The move the last two days has only been 20 cents, but that spread has moved more than $3.80 in the last few months.

This could lead to a bigger bounce, but the market will still need to see sustained export demand in order to maintain any bounce. The unwinding of these spreads may limit upside on corn briefly, but the idea seems to be that wheat is undervalued versus corn and beans with wheat priced-into some feed rations around the globe. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has been higher this week due to supportive Chinese demand items and friendly outside markets. The weekly net change is 24 higher on November beans. December meal is up $5 and oil is 130 points higher. Chinese demand remains supportive as crush margins there have moved to their highest levels in years.

Chinese customs data also showed last weekend that September soybean imports were 4.64 million tons, which was up 68% versus last year. For the calendar year, Chinese soybean imports have totaled 40.16 million tons, which is up 24% from last year. The September Census crush number came in at 130.44 million bushels which was in line with expectations. The weekly export exceeded expectations again this week at 2.025 million tons. Meal sales came in at 153,900 tons, and oil sales were reported at 5,500 tons. Demand trends remain friendly but soybean yields are expected to increase on the November report. The trade could also see some profit taking by market longs heading into the end of the month, which may limit upside for the remainder of the week. The bullish item for beans moving forward will be the need to compete with corn for 2011 production, but the recent strength will also encourage greater South American production. Market bears argue the carryover domestically and globally are comfortable, but it's hard to fight the upward momentum until we get into January and have some idea on what type of South American crop we will see. On the weekly report, harvest was listed at 91% complete versus 42% last year and the 72% 5-year average. Hedgers call with questions.

CATTLE INDUSTRY HAS BRIGHT LONG-TERM OUTLOOK Continued from page 1 In the past six months, the cattle industry was also responding to feed price signals. Last spring, the early planting of corn and optimism regarding yields dropped the U.S. average price of corn below $3.50 per bushel. Cattle feeders responded quickly by adding more cattle to feedlots. In May and June, placements were up 20 percent from the same months in 2009, he said.

"For the more extended period from May through August, placements averaged 9 percent higher. The recent sharp increases in corn and other feed ingredient prices are likely to send this fall's placements well below levels of a year ago when U.S. corn prices averaged $3.62 per bushel for the final quarter of 2009," Hurt said.

Expanding trade opportunities are important to cattle markets this year. The USDA expects beef exports to expand by 18 percent this year, with imports falling by 5 percent. The impact of more exports and less imports represents nearly 500 million pounds of beef that will not be available in the U.S. compared to last year. That represents almost 2 percent of domestic production and enhances finished cattle prices by $2 to $3 per hundredweight, he said.

"It is increasingly encouraging that Asian markets are leading the export volume increases so far this year. Purchases from South Korea are up 130 percent from last year, with Japanese purchases up 21 percent. China is back in the market as well with an increase of 50 percent in beef purchases," Hurt said.

Gaining back export markets after the first U.S. BSE cow was announced in late 2003 has been a long process, he noted.

"Even after this year's large gain in export volume, annual exports will still be only 91 percent of 2003 export tonnage," Hurt said.

Smaller beef supplies will continue to support high finished cattle prices for the rest of 2010 and all of 2011. Per capita beef supplies in the U.S. will be down about 3 percent this year and an additional 1 to 2 percent in 2011, he said.

"Prices will be supported not only by reduced beef supplies but by strength in the world economy and some recovery in the U.S. economy, which will enhance demand. Recent high feed prices are expected to keep the hog industry from expanding and to cut into the previously expected 3 percent expansion in chicken production. Smaller supplies of competitive meats support beef prices," he noted.

According to Hurt, Nebraska finished steer prices averaged $93.75 in the first three quarters this year.

That compares with an annual price of only $83.25 in 2009 when recession deflated demand. Assuming the prices in the final quarter of 2010 are about $98, 2010 will have reached a new record price of $94.80, exceeding the previous record high of $92.27 in 2008.

That record price is expected to be broken next year with Nebraska finished steers averaging in the low $100s. Prices are expected to be in the low $100s during the first quarter and then reach yearly highs in the second quarter when they may average about $105, he said.

"Expect prices to drop 2 to 4 dollars per hundred in the summer quarter and then finish the final quarter of 2011 in the very low $100s. Price forecasts tend to have large errors, so consider a range of at least $3 higher or lower from these forecasts," Hurt said.

Some analysts miss the fact that higher feed prices eventually are reflected in higher meat prices. In the beef industry, feed prices, which began to move higher late in 2006, are now reaching consumers as record-high beef prices. Consumers are in for many years of much higher retail beef costs, he noted.

"The retail price so far this year has averaged $4.37 per pound, exceeding the previous record of $4.29 for the same period in 2008. Early forecasts of retail prices in 2011 are $4.60 to $4.65 per pound, an increase of about 6 percent over the 2010 record price," Hurt said.

The lofty level for next year compares with an average retail beef price of $3.84 per pound for the five years from 2002 to 2006, before the period of much higher feed prices. To be fair, the added retail cost of beef is a combination of both higher farm-level values, mostly due to high feed costs, and higher costs involved in marketing margins, he said.

Record finished cattle prices for 2011 and higher feed costs are tugging feeder cattle and calf prices in opposite directions. Stronger finished cattle prices push calf prices up while higher feed prices push them down. The winner of that battle will depend on the relative changes in finished cattle and feed prices, Hurt said.

"Although cow-calf producers would have received much higher prices for calves without the recent increase in feed prices, they should hold on to their cow herds because record finished cattle prices and, hopefully, cheaper feed in the fall of 2011 should result in much higher calf prices, perhaps for multiple years to come," he said.

but may not be able to use a traditional confinement system," Faulkner said.

In addition, naturally raised beef in either pasture or confinement settings resulted in beef with higher quality grades.

"There continues to be more interest in naturally raised beef because organic beef standards are so high," Faulkner added. "We need to increase consumer education efforts because naturally raised beef is actually what many consumers are looking for these days."

Both organic and naturally raised steers do not receive hormones or antibiotics. The major difference between naturally raised beef and organic beef is that organic beef comes from cattle that are raised on organic pastures that have not been treated with chemicals or chemical fertilizers. In addition, these cattle can only be fed organic certified feeds.

Faulkner also differentiated pasture-fed beef from grass-fed beef.

"Grass-fed cattle cannot be fed any concentrate" they can only receive roughage," Faulkner said. "And that roughage must meet strict guidelines set by the USDA. On the other hand, pasture-fed cattle have access to a finishing diet and pasture."

Pasture-fed cattle have carcass and meat characteristics that are the same as traditionally finished cattle, he added. The meat characteristics of grass-fed cattle are quite different than the average consumer is used to eating.

Faulkner said naturally raised beef, regardless of finishing management, is a niche market that has great potential if consumers will pay premium prices.

"As producers, we need to be responsive to consumer demand," he said. "Currently, naturally raised beef is a very small percentage of the market. But it is a market that is growing at several hundred percent a year, and has been identified as a niche that consumers are very interested in."

"As consumer demand for naturally raised beef continues to increase, researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered that naturally raised beef can be produced effectively for this niche market as long as a substantial premium is offered to cover additional production and transportation costs.

Naturally raised beef is produced without hormones or antibiotics, whereas traditional systems take advantage of technologies the industry offers including ionophores such as Rumensin to improve feed efficiency and implants to improve gain and efficiency.

"Producers are asking many questions about the value of natural programs and the premiums needed to remain profitable," said Dan Faulkner, a professor of animal sciences. "Our goal was to find out the costs involved in natural systems focused on producing environmentally friendly, locally raised beef."

Researchers studied the effects of finishing management (confinement versus pasture) and production system (traditional versus naturally raised) on performance, carcass and economic characteristics in a group of early weaned Angus x Simmental steer calves at the Dixon Springs Agricultural Center in Simpson, Ill. The calves were fed on fescue pastures or confinement feedlots.

The study revealed that naturally raised steers can be produced effectively either in confinement or with a pasture finishing system, but they require a substantial premium of $110 with today's feed prices to justify the costs and returns.

Faulkner said that pasture finishing is $35 more profitable than confinement feeding using current feed prices, making it an attractive option for producers interested in raising locker beef for local markets with either natural or traditional production systems.

"I think this information will benefit smaller operations that would like to pursue a naturally raised market in a pasture finishing system,

Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Announces Renewable Energy Initiatives to Spur Rural Revitalization Throughout the Country Biomass Crop Assistance Program Will Help Create National Biofuels Industry; New Agreement with the FAA Will Promote Production and Demand for Biofuels; USDA Report Shows Domestic Biofuel Production Benefits the Economy As part of the Obama Administration's effort to promote production of fuel from renewable sources, create jobs and mitigate the effects of climate change, Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced a series of measures during a speech to the National Press Club in Washington.

"Domestic production of renewable energy, including biofuels, is a national imperative and that's why USDA is working to assist in developing a biofuels industry in every corner of the nation," said Vilsack. "By producing more biofuels in America, we will create jobs, combat global warming, replace our dependence on foreign oil and build a stronger foundation for the 21st century economy."

The Secretary announced several measures, including the publication of a final rule to implement the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP). Under the BCAP final rule, USDA will resume making payments to eligible producers.

The program had operated as a pilot, pending publication of the final rule. Authorized in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, BCAP is designed to ensure that a sufficiently large base of new, non-food, non-feed biomass crops is established in anticipation of future demand for renewable energy consumption.

"The Obama Administration is aggressively supporting our nation's farmers, ranchers and producers of biofuels as they work to bring greater energy independence to America," Vilsack said.

"BCAP will help the nation's power, biobased product, and advanced biofuel industries produce energy from sustainable rural resources and create jobs that will stimulate rural economies across

THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN GRAND ISLAND AND KEARNEY! 1810 Diers Ave. Grand Island (308) 384-3045 119 Third Ave. Kearney 238-0100

the nation."

The BCAP final regulation reflects policies developed as a result of more than 24,000 comments received on previous Federal Register notices and a proposed rule, and knowledge gained by implementing a portion of the program in 2009.

BCAP uses a dual approach to support the production of renewable energy. First, BCAP provides assistance for the establishment and production of eligible renewable biomass crops within specified project areas. Producers who enter into BCAP contracts may receive payments of up to 75 percent of the cost of establishing eligible perennial crops.

Further, they can receive payments for up to five years for annual or non-woody perennial crops and up to 15 years for woody perennial crops. FSA is accepting project area proposals and, after project area proposals have been approved, eligible producers may participate by enrolling at their FSA county office.

In addition, BCAP also assists agricultural and forest landowners and operators by providing matching payments for the transportation of certain eligible materials that are sold to qualified biomass conversion facilities. The facilities convert the materials into heat, power, biobased products or advanced biofuels.

The Secretary also announced jointly with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a five year agreement to develop aviation fuel from forest and crop residues and other "green" feedstocks in order to decrease dependence on foreign oil and stabilize aviation fuel costs. Under the partnership, the agencies will bring together their experience in research, policy analysis and air transportation sector dynamics to assess the availability of different kinds of feedstocks that could be processed by bio-refineries to produce jet fuels.

The participants will develop a tool to evaluate the status of different components of a feedstock

supply chain, such as availability of biomass from farms and forests, the potential of that biomass for production of jet fuel, and the length of time it will take to ramp up to full-scale production. The agencies already have existing programs and collaborative agreements with private and public partners and resources to help biorefiners develop cost-effective production plans for jet aircraft biofuels.

This cooperative agreement supports a larger research plan led by USDA through its five Regional Biomass Research Centers, which will help accelerate the development of a commercial advanced biofuels industry across the United States. Just as important, the plan sets out to include as many U.S. rural areas as possible to maximize the economic benefits of biofuel production across the country. The Centers will provide the critical mass needed to develop high-performance teams that will guide biomass research to address needs in both the public and private sector, including commercial aviation, military transportation, and other activities.

The Secretary also discussed a biofuels report prepared by USDA's Economic Research Service (ERS)that says replacing more petroleum with cost-competitive domestic biofuels reduces crude oil imports, thereby lowering prices for energy and benefiting the U.S. economy. The report also includes these findings: The biofuels industry becomes more productive as cost-reducing technology is applied, which results in higher wages for workers.

Gains in Gross Domestic Product and real income are driven largely from the contribution from technological progress in biofuels, which increases the productivity of the economy.

Next generation biofuels are considered to be a decreasing cost industry. This means that the cost of producing ethanol will decline as output increases.

Funk Farm Families Still Gather for Hot Supper During Harvest

By Jennifer Chick, The Kearney Hub A fall harvest's hectic pace doesn't stop some farm families from continuing a tradition. They still pause in the evenings for hot food, conversation and family time along the edges of cornfields.

Branda Wohlgemuth and her sister-in-law, Brenda Wohlgemuth, have been serving hot meals in the fields for 30 years.

"Last year, we thought would be our last time," Branda said with a laugh. "And the guys said, 'Hunh-uh. That's how we keep our guys coming to work for us.'"

"I said, 'So we retire when you retire?'"

In the early years, the sisters-in-law balanced raising kids with trips to the fields for both dinner and supper. When they found that they were spending hours just waiting to catch everyone in the harvest crew for the noon meal, they decided to send sandwiches then and plan more elaborate meals for supper.

Now, with both women having their own fulltime jobs, there's a whirlwind of afternoon food prep followed by the hustle of packing the meal and getting to the field by 6:30 p.m.

"When we get home (from work), we are flying," said Branda, an office manager for CHS Agri Service Center Agronomy.

Brenda is a home health care nurse.

Sometimes utensils are left at home, forcing the creation of eating devices out of paper plates.

Forgetting a water jug left some thirsty men in the field one night.

"Sometimes I get tired and I just don't want to go out, but once I get there, I enjoy it," Branda said. "If you want to see your family, that's it. The only way you get to see them is to go out to the field."

Branda's husband, Dave, and her sons, Morgan and Colby, all are busy harvesting, as are Brenda's husband, Don, and her sons, Shane and Chase.

Sometimes the two families work on fields together and the women share cooking duties or

take turns. Other times, the crews are stretched across two counties and each woman serves her own family and crew.

"It still keeps you like a unit," Brenda said. "It gives them a little downtime, even if it's just a half hour."

Now the next generation of cooks is joining the kitchen team. Branda's daughter-in-law, LeAnna, serves a few meals and Brenda's daughter-in-law, Jayde, helps, too.

George Peterson, a harvest truck driver for the Wohlgemuth family of Funk, digs in to a hot supper served from the back of a pickup. Branda Wohlgemuth jokes that the meals are a perk that keeps their harvest help coming back each year.

The hectic schedules, long hours and volume of work are bound to create stories that turn into family folklore over the years.

The Wolgemuths once prepared a turkey meal with all the trimmings. They arrived at the field and realized the man in the truck wasn't anyone they recognized and their crews certainly didn't drive a white combine.

Then they noticed their own crew one field over.

After bumping through the field as a shortcut, they were stopped by a fence and had to back-

track, all to the amusement of their husbands watching from the nearby field.

The farmers never turn down the opportunity to stop for just a few moments. "It's kind of nice to shut the door for 30 minutes and shovel some grub in," Dave said.

When supper is served, the trucks and combines are shut down. The only noise for those precious minutes are the shared conversations of family members, who usually are too busy working to pass along anything more than the most pertinent instructions.

They stand huddled over their steaming plates, sharing stories from the day and laughter over the latest predicaments. Even a little dirt in their food on a windy night won't make a meal any less special.

"This is the time I enjoy the most," a beaming Branda said, "when we sit down with the guys and hear what happened in the day."

She clearly is in her element, making sure everyone gets enough food, fussing over plates and dishes, and fretting about the temperature of the food, even when everyone else thinks it's perfect.

"What they usually bring, it's pretty darn good," Dave said. Branda always tries to slip a few fruits and vegetables in to balance the meat-and-potatoes the crews love.

Farm families reconnect for a few minutes as they stop to share a meal and the stillness of an October evening.

After the last bite, the harvesters return to grain-loaded trucks waiting to be driven to elevators in town. The combine rumbles back to life.

The tractor and grain cart continue their relentless pursuit of the combine as it chews through a cornfield.

Harvest soon will be over and they can celebrate another successful year. But for now, a long day in the field is made easier by the thought of a hot meal shared with family and friends.

"You can't beat that eating outside during a sunset," Brenda said, "even if it's in a field."

Aurora FFA Demonstrating its “Infinite Potential” Elizabeth McDonald, Aurora FFA Chapter Reporter The Aurora FFA Chapter welcomes seven new officers, as announced at last spring’s FFA Banquet. The Officer Team consists of; Mathew Grosshans as President, Trevor Sullivan as Vice President, Natasha Hongsermeier as secretary, Andrew McDonald as Sentinel, Kayla Carriker as Treasurer, Elizabeth McDonald as Reporter, and Jordan Hohwieler as Parliamentarian. The Officer Team is all new faces this year, after the graduation of all seven officers last spring.

Many of our members participated at the Hamilton County Fair this summer. On the mechanical side of the competitions six members received Grand Champion. On the livestock portion of competition our Chapter is proud to announce that out of the members participating they earned sixteen Grand Champions total.

Our Chapter had fifteen entries in the State Fair. The FFA division of competition was held the first week of September. Our members participating in this competition received three Grand Champion places.

We congratulate these members on their hard work and dedication towards their projects.

The FFA year started off with a big bang!

September 13th, our Chapter held our annual BBQ. We enjoyed good food and some laughs.

However, we did get down to business the remainder of the night. Our BBQ is a night that we use to recruit new members, and show them the many advantages and possibilities that come with joining FFA. Our Chapter is lucky enough to have the opportunity to share the experience of Husker Harvest Days with some of our young members.

On September 15th, our Chapter Officers, and

DISTRICT 6

29 Animal Science students attended one of the Nation’s largest farm shows.

Providing our services to the community anyway we can is one of the ways our Chapter stays involved in the community. September 28th, the Ag Committee of the AACD held an Ag Day for the 4th graders of Aurora Elementary.

Our Officer Team shared their time to help with this educational experience. The Ag Day was held at Jensen Farms just North of Aurora.

Planning out our future is one of the many ways to stay ahead in life. Our Chapter took fifty members to the Ag Career Day on September 29th. This event was held in York at the York City Auditorium. Cornerstone Bank is kind enough to sponsor this event for the FFA community. Our members listened to sessions involving the many job possibilities in the Agricultural Field. We hope that everyone learned something new about agriculture or a career path from this generously provided opportunity.

Cedar Rapids FFA

By Trey Mogensen, Reporter Another year, added to the win column. The final FFA banquet puts the final touches on a stellar FFA year. The night began with a meal provided by Julies Catering of Albion. Proceeding that was the slideshow of pictures of members through out the year from the watermelon feed to State Convention. A special thanks goes out to Jim Jaroz for being our auctioneer for the labor auction, in which every FFA member was sold for eight hours of work to the highest bidder. Guest speaker Cody Rasmussen of Albion gave a speech on how agriculture is helping him in life and his story. We rewarded community members who have helped us through the year. This would not have been possible with out them. Proficiency awards were handed out to those who participated. Awards were then handed out to FFA members as listed.

St. Edward FFA Chapter The St. Edward FFA program has gotten off to a good start this year. We have attended two activities. Our first activity was Husker Harvest Days.

On Wednesday, September 16, we took 30 students to Grand Island. We arrived there at 9:00 in the morning. The rest of the day was then spent visiting the booths and learning about many different agricultural areas. We met up at the bus at 2:00 to head back home. It was a great learning opportunity for many of the students and a new experience for some of the younger ones who had never gone before. We all hope that we will be able to attend again next year.

Our next activity was a competition. On Tuesday, September 21, the St. Edward FFA took 22 students to the district range judging competition held near Primrose. There was a total of 322 students partaking in this competition. The top

FFA Creed I believe in the future of agriculture with a faith born not of words but of deeds--achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.

I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.

I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and 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.

three competitors from our school were Kevin Hoshor, Josi Kramer, and Christina Hamling. In the senior division Kevin Hoshor individually placed 23rd. In the junior division Josi Kramer placed 36th and Christina Hamling placed 37th.

As a team Kevin Hoshor, Kelli Hoshor, Laura Troyer, and Jena Scarlett placed 16th out of 39 teams in the senior division. In the junior division the team of Christina Hamling, Alicia Hamling, Alex Cumming, and Ethan Sutton placed 21st out of 55 teams. The competition was a great learning experience for all of the students that went.

On October 14 our chapter will also be attending our district land judging competition in Ord. We have ten students attending and hope to do well there also.

The Fullerton FFA Chapter

FFA Off And Going Strong!

Abbie Hambleton- FFA Historian

The Spalding FFA has already been busy this school year with a variety of different activities and many more coming up very soon!

On September 19th, the FFA Chapter held their first Blue Rock Shoot near Spalding. The event was a huge success, with the chapter raising several hundred dollars. The students enjoyed having the chance to get out, visit, and have some fun while raising money for the chapter.

On Wednesday, September 21st, FFA members – Ethan Asche, Kyle Berger, Kyle Bloom, Gerardo Lozano, Carrie Langer, Colin Wagner, Wyatt Pfeifer, Kyle Wagner, and Megan Berger - attend the District Range Judging Contest near Cedar Rapids. While no students placed at the top of the contest, it was a great opportunity to test their skills and learn about rangelands.

Three of the members that attended the District Range Judging Contest also attended the State Range Judging Contest a week later in Red Cloud. Kyle Berger, Ethan Asche, and Gerardo Lozano all improved upon their scores from the district contest and had the opportunity to see what a state contest is like.

September 26th was an early morning for ten members who went to the AKSARBEN Livestock Exposition to assist with the Purina Mills Petting Zoo. Members cared for animals in addition to showing the animals to young children and telling them about the animals. It was a good activity for the students to get out in the public and help out. The students also had the opportunity to watch the 4-H exhibitors show cattle in the ring next to the petting zoo.

On October 5th, Brandy Herley, Ashley Glesinger, Crystal Herley, Morgan Mortimer, Shayla Ranslem, Mercedes Hemmingsen, Karen Schmeits, and Emily Asche attended

On Labor Day weekend twenty-two FFA Members traveled to Grand Island to compete in various events at the State Fair. The new facilities were fantastic. Members competed in range boards, horticulture, beef, sheep, goat, and swine showing.

In the range board competition receiving purples were Caitlin Lane, Katie Lesiak, Danielle Murray, Chase Rieken, Franny Rieken, Chelesa Sonderup, Kalan Swertzic, and Curtis Wetovick. Receiving a blue was Lane Knopik.

In the Horticulture division Jamie Frenzen and Ellie Lesiak exhibited boutonniere’s, both receiving blues. Kaite Lesiak, Danielle Murray, and Shelby Wetovick received blues in the artificial corsage division.

Showing beef at the State Fair were Katie Frenzen, Jamie Frenzen, Abbie Hambleton, Alyssa Hambleton, and Gage Horacek. Jamie earned a blue on a late Jr. Yearling heifer, and a blue in senior showmanship. Katie acquired a second purple on an Angus Jr. Calf. Katie also received a purple in out of school showmanship.

Abbie received second purple with a late Jr. Yearling Chianina heifer, a purple with a Jr. Simmental Calf, feeder steer receiving 4th purple, and an early summer Maintainer heifer getting Reserve Champion Division. Alyssa exhibited a market steer receiving a blue, a Chianina Jr. Calf with a blue, a late Jr. Yearling Chianina Heifer acquiring first purple. Alyssa also showed a cow calf pair receiving first purple and also was awarded a purple in the freshman showmanship. Gage exhibited an early Jr. Yearling Simmental Heifer receiving second purple, and a Commercial Heifer with a blue.

He also was awarded a purple in the Junior High showmanship division.

FFA Members Enjoy O’Neill FFA Chapter Agribusiness Tour On Wednesday, September 22nd, eighth grade agricultural education students, along with Stuart FFA members boarded a bus for an agricultural business tour. The educational tour was funded with a grant award which the Stuart FFA Chapter received from the Nebraska Investment Finance Authority. The tour allowed students to see innovations in agriculture as well as career opportunities within the field of agriculture. The first stop for the group was at “Garden Fresh Vegetables”, located northwest of O’Neill. Students had a first hand look at the hydroponics operation, which currently houses approximately 100,000 tomato plants, along with cucumbers too. The second stop on the bus tour found the group making a visit to Shamrock Nursery. Delray Kumm, owner and operator of the business gave students a tour of the facilities and shared valuable information about the plant and landscaping industries. The final stop on the tour was NEDAK Ethanol, located east of Atkinson.

Students had the opportunity to tour the entire facility while learning about the plant processes and the ethanol industry. In addition, students gained knowledge about the co-products of the plant.

By Tasha Lechtenberg, Public Relations Chair The O’Neill FFA Chapter continued to grow since re-chartering early in fall 2009. Brady Wakefield and Josh Womack represented the O’Neill FFA Chapter at State FFA Convention in April received their official charter.

They had a busy year with contests, community service and managed to squeeze in a little fun.

Livestock Judging held in Neligh proved to be a favorite contest among our new members. All the participants did well. For many members this

HEARTLAND CATTLEMAN Dedicated to the Livestock Industry

USDA to Proceed with Proposed Livestock Market Reform Rule

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Earlier this week, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack declined the request by 115 members of Congress to complete another comprehensive economic analysis of USDA's proposed competitive livestock market reform rule (GIPSA rule). The proposed GIPSA rule was published in the Federal Register on June 22 and the agency is accepting public comments about the rule until Nov. 22.

According to Vilsack's letter in response to the members of Congress who signed the request, USDA will not hold up the rulemaking process further to complete another economic analysis.

"The proposed rule has started a dialogue on a number of complex issues in the livestock and poultry marketplace. The proposal is a first step in an important process that will include serious consideration of the public comments and further cost-benefit analysis based on those comments. Just as you do, I want a workable, feasible and commonsense rule, which is why we extended the comment period to 150 days to allow stakeholders additional time to comment on the proposal," Vilsack wrote in his reply.

John Crabtree of the Center for Rural Affairs said the rural advocacy organization is applauding Vilsack's decision for "standing firm and not allowing opponents of these crucial reforms to derail the rulemaking process."

According to Crabtree, there are two requirements for cost-benefit analyses in rulemaking.

Under Executive Order 12866, the agency issuing the rule provides an assessment of the potential costs and benefits of the regulatory action. Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, agencies must consider the impact of their regulatory proposals on small entities, analyze effective alternatives that minimize small entity impacts, and make their analyses available for public comment.

"The Center for Rural Affairs fully supports Secretary Vilsack's decision," said Crabtree.

"The call by meatpackers and the National Pork Producers Council for a new economic analysis is an obvious effort to delay, and hopefully derail, these long-awaited livestock market reforms."

But, according to the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, which called for the economic analysis, an economic impact study conducted

by John Dunham and Associates Inc. concludes that the proposed rule on livestock marketing could leave approximately 104,000 additional Americans without jobs.

Consequently, acording to NCBA, the study reports a $14 billion reduction in the National Gross Domestic Product. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration proposed the rule on June 21 in response to a request made by Congress. However, NCBA President Steve Foglesong said the rule goes beyond the intent of Congress and serves as another example of government overreach into private business.

Foglesong said Congress did not direct USDA to write a rule that would take away the rights of cattle producers to be innovative and creative by embarking on contract agreements for premium, consumer-demanded beef.

"The goal of cattle producers is to provide the

very best and safest product possible, while sustaining our family-owned operations for future generations. The administration should help us accomplish these goals and not throw them down the drain along with 104,000 jobs," he said.

Foglesong said the study found that retail meat prices would increase 3.33 percent at a national level, resulting in a 1.68 percent drop in consumer demand. He said family farmers and ranchers would also witness a reduction in beef demand and profitability. He said it is unfortunate that this study was even conducted, but USDA left no choice. USDA did not conduct a comprehensive economic analysis and has indicated to 115 members of Congress calling for an economic study that one will not be conducted.

But R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard, who supports Vilsack's decision, said the economic analysis is the "same sort of tactics the packers made during the rulemaking for country-of-origin labeling (COOL)."

"The packers threatened that they would require producers to pay for third-party certification of origin claims, require producers to make their records available to the packers for random producer audits,' and pass all the costs associated with COOL on to producers," Continued on page 30

Lean hog trade has resumed the downtrend this week due to limited fresh news. The weekly net change is $2.80 lower on the December contract and February is down $2.12. New lows for the move were seen on the nearby, in fact December futures traded to the lowest level since bullish March USDA Quarterly Hog and Pig report back in March. The inability to find follow-through buying after last week’s bounce indicates that the strength was only in response to oversold conditions and the chart rend remains negative. Cash trade has been lower this week, so the cash trend remains negative. The seasonal influx of hogs has created a surplus of live inventory that was bigger than the market was expecting is safe to say at this point. Plus hog weights continue to grow with barrows and gilts averaging 1.4 pounds heavier versus last week and nearly 5 pounds heavier compared to a year ago. Sow slaughter continues to average 16% lower versus last year, so herd expansion continues to linger on differed contracts despite the decline in margins. There may be a danger of the summer 2011 contracts falling in the week ahead, they have maintained a higher trend, if corn prices do not spike higher. Hedgers call with questions.

Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to profit taking by market longs and a neutral to negative monthly Cattle on Feed report last Friday. The weekly net change is $1.70 lower on the December contract and February is down $1.20. Light cash trade was reported at $100 on Wednesday which was $2 lower versus last week. Packers should still need to secure additional cash needs this week.

Expectations are steady to $2 lower market based on the board action. Additional sales around or below the $100 level may lead to additional futures pressure, if we could see the bulk of trade near last weeks

levels then the market should see strength heading into November. Cutout values finished higher on Wednesday with choice finishing 81 higher at 161.37 and select up 33 at 154.55. On the chart the trade set back to the 50-day moving average just below $100/cwt; this area should act as support. Trade is over $2 off our October high and $3 above our October low; mixed trade appears likely the rest of the week.

As a review, the Cattle on Feed report was neutral last Friday with total on feed at 103% of a year ago, placements at 103% of a year ago and marketings at 102% of a year ago. Hedgers call with questions.

Heartland Express - FFA District 10

October 28, 2010

O’NEILL FFA CHAPTER Continued from page 23 The next contest out chapter took part in was District Leadership Skills Events held in Ainsworth. Ten O’Neill FFA members competed in this district contest. Sophomore Tasha Lechtenberg received District Champion in the Employment Skills contest, which qualified her to represent our district while competing at the state level in April. Also, the Jr. High quiz bowl team consisting of Jacob Goldfuss, Nate Gotschall, Whitney Hoffman and Tim Lechtenberg earned 2nd place and also compete at state level of this contest held in April at the State FFA Convention.

To teach younger students in the community a little about non-traditional agriculture and a little about what FFA is, the O’Neill FFA Chapter arranged a reindeer appearance in late December.

The reindeer were brought from Kringle Stables located in Nehawka, Nebraska. The kids enjoyed seeing them, and a popular questions included “Can they fly?” and “Are these Santa’s reindeer?”

In February, along with the thousands of other FFA members across the nation, the O’Neill FFA chapter celebrated National FFA Week with various activities. Activities included hosting a teacher appreciation lunch, a business and community supporter appreciation breakfast, and held a Penny Wars/ Kiss-a-Pig contest to raise money for local charities. The teachers with the most money collected included the High School Principal, Mr. Steve Brosz, High School Math teacher, Mrs. Janice Vosler, and High School English teacher Mrs. Katrina Gotschall. These two teachers and principal puckered up during a school assembly to kiss-the-pig for this charitable cause. From this event, the chapter was able to raise over $400 dollars, making a donating to the Holt County Humane Society and to the O’Neill Food Pantry. Members also recorded radio ads at KBRX for The Seed House and for the “I believe in the future of agriculture” campaign coordinated

Continued from page 18 Bullard said "Those were hollow threats then, and these are hollow threats today."

Vilsack concluded his letter of response by pointing out that GIPSA solicited specific comments no fewer than eight times about aspects of the proposal's costs and benefits and their magnitudes.

In addition to those solicitations, GIPSA invited comments on potential unforeseen consequences of the proposed regulations, their related magnitudes and whether all types of cost-benefit categories had been considered, Crabtree said.

"USDA has done their homework and written a strong rule that should move forward and become law. The meatpacking industry and their commodity group lackeys do not want livestock markets to be more competitive because they want to reserve the right to put the screws to family farmers, ranchers and feeders whenever they damn well please," Crabtree said.

Livestock, Pasture and Range Report: Pasture and range conditions rated 2 percent very poor, 4 poor, 26 fair, 60 good, and 8 excellent, near year ago levels.

THE BIOMASS CROP ASSISTANCE PROGRAM...

Continued from page 10 To qualify for matching payment, eligible materials must be collected or harvested directly from the land, before transport and delivery. Materials cannot be "collected or harvested" after transport and delivery, nor "collected or harvested" by separating from of a higher value material in order to be used for heat, power, bio-based products or biofuels.

Woody eligible material collected or harvested must come directly from the land and must be a byproduct of preventive treatments that are removed to reduce hazardous fuels, to reduce or contain disease or insect infestation, or to restore ecosystem health.

All eligible material must be harvested in accordance with an approved conservation, forest stewardship, or equivalent plan.

Establishment payments Producers can get up to 75 percent of the costs of establishing a perennial crop. This does not include equipment.

Annual crops are not eligible. (Annual crops, however, are eligible for annual payments.)

Annual payments Biomass producers in BCAP project areas can receive annual payments up to 5 years for herbaceous biomass (annual and perennial) and up to 15 years for woody biomass (annual and perennial).

Reduced upon sale of the crop by: 1% if biomass sold for cellulosic biofuels defined by RFS regulation as having 60 percent lower lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions 10% if biomass sold for advanced biofuels 25% if biomass sold for heat, power or biobased products 100% if biomass sold for anything other than heat, power, biofuels or biobased products.

Requirements on Arm's Length Transactions / Related Party Transactions Replaced with a requirement that eligible material must be purchased at fair market prices regardless of the relationship between buyer and seller. This provision allows BCAP participation for startup and other vertically integrated operations, but prevents efforts to defeat the purpose of BCAP by inflating biomass prices to gain higher matching payments.

Tare Lab Crew Important Part of Sugar Beet Harvest

By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald Farmers are paid for the sugar content of their sugar beets. Consequently, the results of tests conducted in the tare lab each day are vital to the amount of money growers receive for their crops.

The sugar content is determined by the amount of sugar extracted from the beets. This is done by taking samples of beets from loads delivered to the receiving stations, and processing those beets at the tare lab. The bags of beets, which weigh about 20 to 30 pounds, are weighed, washed and pulverized with a brei saw. A sample of the pulp is mixed

with aluminum sulfate, a clarifying agent, and then filtered to obtain a liquid sample. The liquid is then tested in a polariscope to determine how much sugar is in the beets.

The sugar content information is printed onto an ID card for that sample, which is then entered into the computerized information for each grower. Because these numbers are so critical, it is vitally important that the information is correct.

The Western Sugar Cooperative tare lab runs 24 hours a day during sugar beet harvest, testing about 40 percent of the loads delivered over the scales. The tare lab runs through harvest, pro-

cessing samples from all of the fields in the Nebraska growing region, Wheatland, Wyo., to Ogallala, and Kimball to Hemingford.

The jobs provide reliable seasonal income, or extra cash for retirees or students.

Luci Steffen, tare lab supervisor, makes sure scales are correct, the equipment works properly, and supplies are available, in addition to overseeing the employees.

With cooperation from the weather, the 2010 harvest was expected to be about 80 percent completed by Friday.

USDA Issues Final Payments Under DELAP to Provide Financial Relief to Dairy Producers Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that final Phase III payments under the Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment (DELAP) program began the week of Oct. 12, 2010. The program is funded by $290 million from the 2010 Agricultural Appropriations Bill to provide loss assistance payments to eligible dairy producers.

"We know that dairy producers have been experiencing difficult economic circumstances, but with this assistance, producers have been able to offset a portion of their financial losses," said Vilsack.

Payments to eligible DELAP program producers were issued in three payment phases. Phase I payments were issued in mid-December 2009 to eligible dairy producers with production records from previous participation in dairy programs administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA).

Dairy producers who did not have production records at the FSA county office but submitted a request for DELAP benefits before the application deadline of Jan. 19, 2010, were issued payments in Phase II beginning June 18, 2010.

DELAP Phase III will be disbursed to eligible dairy producers that received DELAP benefits under Phase I or Phase II. Of the $290 million budgeted for DELAP, a total of $273 million was dispersed to eligible dairy producers under DELAP Phase I and Phase II. The remaining $17 million minus a reserve established by FSA will be dispersed during Phase III. For more information regarding payments under the DELAP program, visit the local FSA county office or http://www.fsa.usda.gov.
