Farm Bureau economist predicts better 2010

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub KEARNEY - After seeing the largest ever oneyear drop in net farm cash income from 2008 to 2009, U.S. agriculture producers may not mind hearing economists forecast 2010 as slightly improved.

"I don't see any reason why things would be worse next year," American Farm Bureau Federation Chief Economist Bob Young said Monday at the Nebraska Farm Bureau convention in Kearney.

Economic conditions should be better for beef and hogs and "dairy is up a couple of bucks from their low," Young said, adding that some crop inputs could cost a little less in 2010.

Land prices moved "sideways," which should continue. "It's not a 2008 scenario. ... It's (ag economy) good enough to keep prices where they're at.

Not bad enough to draw them down or good enough to go up."

He praised ag producers for maintaining good Continued on page 31

Heartland FFA Leads Out Loud The Heartland FFA Chapter is off to a busy start this school year. There have been numerous activities that have kept the Heartland FFA Chapter busy.

The summer was a busy one with FFA Officers, Brittany Ratzlaff, Andrea Boardman, Taylor Janzen, Carlin Epp, Sara Newton, Kara Buller and Abby Regier, attending a retreat to build their teamwork and communication skills. A float, dunk tank and dodge ball tournament, at Henderson Community Days, also kept the officers on their feet during the summer. Heartland also exhibited numerous crop, metal and woods projects at the York County Fair and the Nebraska State Fair. Many members received ribbons and trophies for the work on their projects. State Fair Trophy winners were, Abigail Bechtel, Brandon Friesen, Megan Friesen and Morgan Tracy.

The school year began fast with FFA Officers holding their annual Safety Day in the Ag Shop in late September, where 3rd - 6th graders were invited to learn about bike safety, ATV safety and poison control. Students also created safety kits for themselves. District land was held in early October. Heartland had 23 members compete with Rick Siebert, Cody Brown and Darrell Traudt receiving the highest ribbons (blues) for the chapter.

Following District Land Judging, Freshman FFA members worked as gleaners and timers for contestants at the Nebraska State Corn Picking Contest, held in York, Nebraska. Members helping were Sam Boardman, Emily Ott, Maelyn Huebert, Deit Driewer, Bianca Kujala, Daniel

The big news during the previous two week period was the massive snowstorm that moved from the west coast through the northeastern U.S. during the 12/5-12/11 time frame.

Much of Nebraska received between 8 and 15 inches of snowfall, with totals dropping off to less than 6 inches near Allen Dutcher the Wyoming and South Dakota borders.

Near blizzard conditions were felt after the storm moved east of the state, bringing traffic to a virtual standstill. High temperatures dropped into the single digits to low teens, while lows dropped as low as the negative teens. For the month so far, temperatures are averaging 5-8 F below normal.

Week One Forecast, 12/12 - 12/18: High temperatures will recover briefly from the Arctic surge that followed the big snowstorm on 12/9. Highs should reach the low to mid 30's across the southern ½ of the state during the 12/12-12/13 period, with mid to upper 20's across the northern ½ of the state.

Christmas Tree Care Is More Than Just Water Remember, a Christmas tree is a plant. Care for the cut tree as if it were a cut flower. The following suggestions will help keep the Christmas tree fresh and safe.

-- If buying a tree several days before it will be set up and decorated, store the tree outdoors or on a cool porch or patio until it is ready to be decorated. An area providing protection from the wind and sun will help the tree keep its moisture.

-- If planning to store the tree several days, make a straight across cut on the butt of the tree about an inch from the end. This opens the tree stem so it can take up water. Store the tree upright and place the butt end in a container of water. – When bringing the tree into the house for decorating make another fresh straight across cut in

the trunk about a half-inch from the original cut.

Use a tree stand that holds plenty of water.

-- Trees are thirsty. They may drink a gallon or more of water per day. Check daily and supply fresh water as needed. A stand which holds at least a gallon of water is recommended. If you allow the water level to drop below the trunk, a seal will form just as it does on a cut flower, and a new cut will be necessary.

-- Place the tree away from fire places, radiators, TV sets and other heat sources. Turn off the tree lights when the room is not in use and before retiring for the night.

-- Avoid use of combustible decorations. Check all electric lights and connections. Do not use lights with worn or frayed cords.

Holiday Baking Q & A Susan Hansen, Extension Educator Colfax County The holiday baking season has brought forth some questions about ingredients. Here are some of the questions I received and the answers.

Q.

Can I use evaporated milk instead of sweetened condensed milk?

A.

No. The major difference is the addition of sugar in the sweetened condensed milk.

Q. Can I freeze powdered sugar?

A. Generally, no, because of the possibility of powdered sugar attracting moisture. If moisture is absorbed into the powdered sugar, the result can be a bricklike piece of sugar.

Q. How do I know if my baking powder is still good?

A. Mix one teaspoon of baking powder with one-third cup of hot water. If the mixture bubbles, the baking powder is effective. If no bubbles or very few bubbles occur, throw the baking powder away.

Q.

I bought some shelled walnuts a year ago.

Can I still use them?

A.

Depends on how the walnuts were stored.

Most nuts can be stored in the freezer for up to a year. If stored on the shelf, nuts should be used within two months. Nuts turn rancid because of the oil in the nuts. Unsalted nuts have a longer storage life.

Q. Is white chocolate really chocolate?

A. No. White chocolate is actually a mixture of vegetable fats, coloring and flavors.

Q. Some of my spices are three or four years

Adults Should Serve As Role Model When Tasting In The Kitchen Children aren't the only ones who enjoy running their fingers around the edge of the cake batter bowl or devouring a spoonful of cookie dough.

Adults are equally likely to find satisfaction in such treats. However, despite the temptation precautions should be taken when sampling food in the kitchen.

All uncooked foods have potential for carrying harmful bacteria. Special concern often revolves around foods that contain raw eggs or are cooked at low heat, such as puddings and custards.

However, unbaked goods aren't the only treats that pose a threat. Fruits and vegetables can carry harmful bacteria on their skin if not probably washed before consumption. This is mostly due to the number of times a fruit or vegetable is handled before consumption.

If adults are concerned about children ingesting harmful bacteria, they should consider using an egg substitute when baking treats and be sure to wash fruits and vegetables before passing them out as snacks.

Bacteria does not come from food alone. In many situations, people are the ones who contaminate food by testing the final product before it is done.

For example, soup often is tasted with the stirring spoon to see if more seasoning is needed and noodles are munched off of the same fork to determine tenderness. To eliminate adding excess germs to the entire batch, set aside a small quantity in a separate dish and use another spoon or utensil to sample.

Common sense is also important when it comes to sampling food. Be careful not to sample food that is too hot and could burn the inside of the mouth. Keep an eye out to insure children do the same.

Call Tim or Eric

old. Can I still use them?

A. From a food safety aspect, it is okay to use old spices. However, from a taste perspective, there may not be much flavor left. Ground spices should be replaced yearly for optimum flavor and freshness. Spices in the powdered form lose their freshness quicker than whole spices.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts •

by Lee Pitts

H o w A r e Yo u W i r e d ? ( B e s t O f )

Have you ever had your weight or your age guessed at the county fair by a clown posing as a soothsayer? I've got news for you... the carnival clairvoyant is not just pulling a number out of thin air. These hucksters look for signs on your person that might give them clues as to how old you are or how much you weigh. These signs are known in the trade as "tells." For example, the information peddler might look for the date on a high school class ring to give some indication of how old you are. Or, if guessing your weight they might look to see if you are leaving permanent impressions in the asphalt or concrete where you are standing.

I too, possess this remarkable ability to read "tells." In fact, I can discern everything about you merely by counting the number of wires on your fence. Show me your fence and I'll write your life history.

For example, if your fence consists of one smooth wire electrified by solar energy I can tell that you extremely optimistic, have more money than brains, are well educated, believe in the tooth fairy and probably have a gullible banker. You'd probably pay some clown good money to guess your weight and age, information you should already possess. You adapt easily to new technology and probably have an expensive mobile phone hanging on your ear at this very minute. Your horse is named "Honda" and every cow on your place has a

proper name. Your ranch does not border a stocker steer operation, a nudist colony or a sheep camp. You live in a sunny climate and are studying to be a half-wit if you think one slightly warm wire is going to hold or stop anything.

Three Loose Wires... You are an extremely poor or lazy cattleman with few good points.

Your neighbors don't speak to you and you receive frequent calls from the local police department because your cows routinely get on the road by walking through your fence like it was made of cobwebs. Your calves are probably sucking the neighbor's cows right now. Your ranch is overrun by wildlife including bikers, joggers and EPA officials.

Five Rusty Wires... You are a typical cattleman who hasn't put up any new fence since your great-grandfather homesteaded the place in 1880. You are afraid to mess with the fence now because the wires are actually holding up the posts that are rotted off in the ground. Antique barbed wire collectors covet your fence.

Three New Wires on Top a Tight Mesh Fence... You are a conniving cattleman who got the government or the Nature Conservancy to pay for your fence.

Ten Wires... Five of the wires on your fence are old rusted wires that have been in place since the Zachary Taylor administration and five are fairly new, only 50 years, or so, old.

This indicates that you are either single or divorced. If you had a wife you would have had her roll up the old wire before putting up the new.

Twelve Wires... You border one of Ted Turner's ranches and have trouble sleeping at night. You would prefer Ted keep his buffalo on his side of the fence.

19 Wires Energized With 210 Volts... You are a young, naive individual who thinks that such a fence can keep out the the neighbor's trich infected bull and assorted government bureaucrats. You will be sued in the near future by a Sierra Clubber who trespassed on your property by straddling your highly charged fence. You will lose everything you possess in court but it will be almost worth it.

No Wires... You live in a big mansion behind a plastic coated white board fence. Judging by your tight cinch, the wrinkles around your eyes and the smile on your face I’d say you are 65 years old, weigh 350 pounds and have a teenage wife. You raise fainting goats, miniature llamas and do not make your living in the livestock industry.

Corn Corn trade has been lower this week due to continued profit taking by market shorts. After three days of trade, the weekly net change is 5 lower on the March contract. Outside market pressure has also been noted for the lower trade at midweek; crude is $4.73 lower, the dollar is lightly higher, and the DOW is 68 lower. If the market believes the dollar has found a bottom then liquidation of long commodity funds may accelerate. The Ethanol profitability remains good, which should mean that we will find end user buying on breaks. Trade has been mixed this week ahead of the December USDA Supply and Demand report. The numbers were neutral to lightly negative due to a higher than expected U.S. carryover number.

Remember the USDA made no production changes on this report, their final 2009 production estimates will be seen in January. The weekly export sales came in at 847,700 which were above the range

of expectations, but the total sales for the year remain slow. This was echoed by the USDA with a 50 million bushel drop in the export usage number on the balance sheet, exports were lowered to 2.05 billion from 2.1. The carryover increased to 1.675 billion up 50 million from November and 25 million greater than the average expectation. The world carryover was virtually unchanged. Overall no surprises, the market now will look to the chart and outside markets for direction. The long-term picture is still sideways to flat, but the short term trend is down; a move below the late October lows could promote additional selling interest.

The progress report Monday afternoon had the harvest progress at 88% complete versus 79% last week and usually we are 99 to 100% complete by now. As corn harvest moves closer to complete, commercial selling interest should remain high, so selling interest could continue. Hedgers call with questions.

Support: Resistance

Wheat trade has been lower this past week due to spillover pressure from the row crops along with weak outside market influence. After three days of trade, the weekly net change is 23 lower in Chicago, KC is down 21, and Minneapolis is 17 lower. The wheat market has little to hang a bullish hat on at this juncture other than spill over direction from the row crops. The USDA export sales and monthly numbers were negative, which should limit buying interest through the remainder of the week. The world carryover jumped to 190.91 million tons versus 188.28 last month, versus 163.75 last year and 121.01 million tons two years ago. The domestic carryover moved to 900 million bushels which was 13 million higher than the average trade guess and up 15 million bushels from last month.

The change came from a reduction in the food usage category. The weekly export

sales were only 245,200 tons which was below the range of expectations. The outside markets are fairly flat so the path of least resistance appears to be down. I’ll again point out that we saw negative reports and rallied following them the past few months. I do not think there will be much buying enthusiasm on any short lived rally at this time due to the turn in the outside markets. On the chart the $5.28 1/2 level on the March Chicago futures is the lowest major moving average which serves as important support; it is the 100-day moving average. The crop progress listed 93% of the winter wheat crop emerged which is slow, and the last bit of this crop will likely have a poor start in the spring. The crop ratings remained at 63% good to excellent. The export sales were reported at 245,200 tons which was inline with expectations.

Hedgers call with questions.

We started out the day with a few videos about the Monsanto Seed Research and Learning Center and talked about a brief history about the Learning Center. Then having such a large group the students were split into two groups. The first group got to ride a tram around the 160 acre field research area to see seed plots of crops grown back in the early ages and compared them to the crops we have today. They learned about all the new technology used to grow the new crops such as biotechnology and genetically modifying. On the trip the students were told to pick a few weeds and bring them back with them. We learned to use a dichotomous key to identify weeds. We learned a lot about seed and water research.

Blue Hill FFA Chapter The Blue Hill FFA chapter has kept busy this school year. From barn dances to agriculture contests, and traveling the country, the Blue Hill FFA chapter never stops. At the beginning of the school year the Blue Hill FFA chapter had 32 FFA members participate in the range judging competition at Alma, Nebraska. Erin Kinley participated in the Sr. division and finished in the top ten. Blue Hill's FFA chapter can also proudly say that they have a Sr. division livestock judging team qualifying for the state competition. FFA isn't all about work and no play though. On October 14th-19th nine Blue Hill FFA members traveled to Indianapolis, IN for the 2009 National FFA Convention. While in Indianapolis Blue Hill's FFA members enjoyed various speakers, career workshops, the FFA Talent show, and a very exciting Toby Keith concert. Also while in Indianapolis they had the great pleasure of watching Blue Hill Graduate Sierra Zuellner receive her American degree. All nine Blue Hill FFA members were sad to leave Indianapolis and all the new friends they met, but they came back to Blue Hill with great ideas for their chapter. As soon as National convention was over Blue Hill's FFA started on greenery projects. These greenery centerpieces were created and sold by the horticulture class at Blue Hill and the money was donated to charity. Even though half the school year has flown by, the Blue Hill FFA chapter is keeping up with numerous activities.

Lawrence/Nelson FFA Chapter Derek Harrington, Chapter Reporter The Lawrence/Nelson FFA Chapter has been very active for the 2009-2010 school year so far.

They have participated in numerous activities and fundraisers. Following is a recap of the year to date.

The year began with the L/N chapter working at the Nuckolls County fair concession stand. All members helped with this and it was an excellent fundraiser. The chapter had some good times and caught up with each other since this took place during the summer.

The next activity was Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, NE. The members enjoyed touring the grounds and learning about new technologies.

Each member was given a paper that was very similar to a scavenger hunt. They had to find certain booths and get certain signatures. Some of the members had a very fun time with a certain booth because the booth presenter took pictures with almost all of the members. The members left Husker Harvest Days impressed with all of the new technologies and seeing what the agricultural industry is up to.

Next, the chapter officers took part in the Water Jamboree at Liberty Cove. The officers served as guides for the day. They took their respective groups to eight different stations that taught local elementary kids the value of water and everything that it does for us. The officers also took part in a “water relay”. Two officers and their groups went head to head and ran an obstacle course with a pan of water. The object of the relay was to teach the kids about the importance of conserving and saving water. The officers had fun and ended the day with a water fight. Needless to say, the boys won!

The officer team also helped out with the Farm Safety Day at the Nuckolls County Fairgrounds.

They split into two groups of four and discussed

the importance of cattle and equine safety. The officers felt that this was important because they believed that there are too many accidents on farms and the majority of those happen with young children. They believed that this would help reduce the amount of accidents in our area.

At the end of October, our chapter hosted our second annual Harvest Supper. This is an event that we started to show our respective communities how much we appreciate them. It was a free donation and all of the area farmers and their families were invited to come in and eat a free meal and have a good time with other local farmers. The whole event was sponsored by the L/N chapter and we had some very generous donations. This was a major fundraiser for us and is one that we really enjoy putting on. We hope that the event continues to happen in the future.

The year’s first competition took place in November. This was the livestock judging contest.

The L/N senior division did very well. We had two individuals, Kaci Schroer and Garret Svoboda, who placed in the top twelve. The senior team also placed second and will compete in the state competition. The Jr. team also did well with the team placing fourth. They will also compete in the state competition. This was the result of early morning practices and dedication. Ms. Tomlinson, our advisor, is proud of these accomplishments and wishes the teams the best of luck at state.

The last event for the L/N chapter before the Christmas break was another fundraiser. The members sold Christmas greenery. There were many options available and the chapter sold many items. This is another activity that our chapter enjoys because this gets everybody in the Christmas spirit.

This is what our chapter has been up to and the second semester looks like it will be just as busy as the first. We are looking forward to it!

Superior FFA Conducts Greenhand Ceremonies The Superior FFA Chapter conducted their annual Greenhand Ceremonies in the Superior High School Commons Area on November 23.

plans for a Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE) program, have a background knowledge in the FFA Greenhand pin, a membership card and sign.

The chapter conducted a free well water nitrate testing throughout the evening and several of the tests were found to be over the 10 ppm safe level.

Seven of the freshman presented a parliamentary procedure mock meeting to the audience. Later, ribbons were awarded from the recent district livestock judging contest. During the meeting, Tyler Strobl reported on the 2nd annual pie baking contest which will be held December 18th in the cafeteria, the raised money will be sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital to help with juvenile diabetes. Melissa Guilkey reported on National FFA week, which was held in Indianapolis where ten members participated.

Superior FFA attends national convention Ten Superior FFA members attended the 82nd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN October 20-24th. The students were accompanied

by Advisor Dave Barnard and Mr. Bruce Tinkham.

This year’s theme was, “Lead Out Loud”. The convention headquarters was in Conseco Fieldhouse where the Indiana Pacers NBA team plays.

Approximately 52,000 members, parents and quests attended this leadership event. The convention was carried by RFD TV. Ty Rempe and Rebecca Genung represented the Chapter as delegates. They attended a banquet dinner at the Marriott Hotel and went on stage to receive the National Chapter Award plaque the local chapter earned. Superior was rated a threestar Chapter on the national level. On Saturday at ceremonies in Lucas Oil Stadium, SHS graduate Kellie Tinkham was awarded the American Degree award. Kellie received the golden key of the American Degree and framed certificate. Lucas Oil Stadium is where the Indianapolis Colts NFL team plays. Kellie is currently a sophomore at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO. Her parents are Bruce & Karen Tinkham.

On Wednesday the Superior FFA Ag Issues Forum Team competed at the Westin Hotel. The team earned a bronze team plaque on their presentation on wind energy. Each member also received a bronze medal. Texas won this national competition. Members of the Superior team included Bethany Brittenham, Victoria Simonsen, Tyler Strobl, Andrew Brittenham, Melissa Guikey, Katrina Wulf and Kori Tinkham. The group also enjoyed several tours. On Friday evening the students attended a Pro Rodeo competition at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. They toured the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, home of the Indy 500 race. The group toured the National FFA Center, the Indiana State Capitol, the Indiana War Memorial and Museum, and attended the FFA Career Show. The FFA members enjoyed several convention leadership sessions including the keynote address given by Mr. Mike Rowe of television’s “Dirty Jobs”. On the way to Indianapolis the members visited President Abraham Lincoln’s tomb in Springfield, IL.

Superior Second Grade Students Color for Safety Thirty-five Superior second graders participated in the Superior FFA Chapter’s Rural Safety Coloring Contest. The students are taught by Mrs. Diane Kile and Mrs. Anne-Marie Giger. Each student submitted an entry from the Nebraska Soybean Board’s farm coloring book.

FFA members visited the second graders in their classroom on November 19 and discussed farm safety and prevention of accidents. Members coordinating the project were Vicki Simonsen, Montana Hayes, Sarah Wood, Tyler Strobl, Katrina Wulf, Matt Shafer, and Michelle Blecha.

The entries are currently displayed in the Superior High School commons area.

Katlin Lang, Reporter The Sandy Creek High School FFA chapter has been around for a short six years but has obtained many high awards and accomplished great goals in this time. The chapter has had five National qualifiers and numerous state awards. The Sandy Creek FFA currently has forty four members.

The 2009-2010 officer team is comprised of Ethan Lang, President; Preston Hild, Vice president; Kayla Lanhdorf, Secretary; Brianna Schlick, Treasurer; Katlin Lang, Reporter; Katie Benton, Sentinel; Levi Schlick, Parliamentarian; Stevie Crookshanks, Historian; and Amy Tomlinson, Advisor. The officer team and advisor traveled to Niobrara State Park for the annual FFA Officer Retreat. During the officer retreat, the chapter’s calendar and activities were planned for the upcoming year.

Over the summer, the members kept busy with the chapter’s vineyard donated to the chapter by Steve and Thomas Kluver of Fairfield. Over 4 tons of grapes were harvested and shipped to Mac’s Creek Winery in Lexington.

A Lake Day was held at Lovewell Lake in Kansas to interest and recruit youth into the FFA program. Much fun was had by all and the Lake Day was considered to be a success with over 60 members and parents attending.

As the school year started, members began competing in FFA contests; including livestock judging. The junior team of Caleb Schlick, Jared Taylor, Trevor DeVries, and Brett Peshesk qualified for state livestock judging placing second in the district competition. A harvest supper was held in November as a community service project to honor hardworking farmers and provide them with a free meal during the busy harvest season.

Ten members attended the National FFA convention this year in Indianapolis, Indiana to learn about FFA’s impact on a nationwide scale and experience FFA at a national level. Members attended Leadership Workshops and the Career Fair. They were able to tour the Indianapolis Speedway and the Indianapolis Zoo. Sessions with Keynote Speakers of Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs and the Paralympic Skier Josh Sundquist left a powerful mark on the members. The members went to the convention to compete in competitions, attend the nation’s largest youth convention, learn and participate in leadership development workshops and build contacts with other students across the nation.

Additionally, the agriculture education department also received a grant to purchase a greenhouse for installation in the spring. The South Central Unified School Board also helped out the chapter by approving additional funds needed for installation to include water, gas and electrical lines. Members are also preparing their hydroponic system for tomato’s over the winter months.

Members are now preparing for the upcoming Leadership Skills Events where they will be able to continue to achieve for their chapter and are begining to make future plans for the expansion of the vineyard.

First Semester Full of Activities for Sutton FFA Sutton FFA members spent nine days during August and September helping Dean Griess harvest grapes from his vineyard. According to Dean, this year's crop was excellent. Members were responsible for picking the grapes, loading them into buckets and unloading them into the walk-in cooler. On September 15th, chapter members hosted elementary students to discuss farm safety.

The elementary students watched demonstrations on farm chemicals, ATV safety, combine safety, and Hydraulics and PTO safety. Each demonstration lasted fifteen minutes. Additionally, the members of the Sutton FFA Chapter helped decorate the downtown on Saturday, November 28th.

Members placed decorations around the business district helping prepare for the community parade of lights.

A meal consisting of soup and sandwiches preceded the ceremonies. In addition, the Sutton FFA Alumni held their annual auction raising $2,000.00 to help sponsor chapter activities.

FFA Begins Fundraising for New Educational Greenhouse The Franklin FFA began fundraising efforts on Thursday, November 19 with a member auction. Dean Dallmann was the auctioneer and numerous buyers generously bought the 41 members that were sold for 8 hours of work.

The auction raised $5288.00

toward the FFA greenhouse fund.

The FFA is also planning a Donkey Basketball game in the main gym on Sunday, Feb 7 at 2:00 to raise additional funds. The FFA would like to thank Dean and all the buyers for their generous support of our auction.

Seven members of the Amherst FFA Chapter attended the 82nd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. The members that attended were Kaisha Jurgens, Cassie Bergstrom, Katie Halva, Clint Bentley, Zane Petersen, Darby Oertwig, and Kody Saathoff. The members rode on a bus 16 hours to Indianapolis and once we got there we went to the opening session. Mike Rowe was the speaker at the opening session and gave a very interesting speech. After the opening session we went to the Toby Keith concert. On Thursday we toured the Indianapolis

Downs racetrack. While there, we were able to see trainers training standard bred horses. Later we went to the career fair and got information from businesses and colleges. On Friday we went to the Indianapolis motor Speedway and took a tour and then also went to the NCAA Hall of Champions and the career fair again.

The NCAA Hall of Champions provided some interactive activities, which made that tour very exciting.

After attending the American Degree ceremony on Saturday, we loaded the bus and made the long journey home.

The Ravenna FFA held a Farm Safety day for the Pre-school -6th grade kids on October 2nd at the Ravenna High School and Elementary. There was an electricity exhibit presented by Diana Luscher with Nebraska Public Power District, railroad safety presented by Tom Hagert and Chad Korth with Operation Lifesaver, nutrition lesson by Kayla Hinrichs UNL Extension in Central IV, hand washing safety by Gloria Zeller, bus safety by Tom Treffer, grain bin safety by FFA members, and also animal safety also by FFA members. Also as a general session Chief Miska taught about bicycle safety. Over 230 students were taught the safety information. Each student was given a Farm Safety Day shirt and a goodie bag with items donated by several companies. This was very important for the education of the students because knowing safety tips can prevent accidents from happening, especially in such a rural area.

The event was sponsored by Progressive Agriculture as well as the Ravenna FFA. Tara Dethlefs, Mark Chramosta, Alex Behrendt, Catherine Ripp, Shelby Behrendt, Liz Deines, Alyssa Fierstein, and the advisor Heath Ahrens and his wife Tammi Ahrens were the sponsors for this event. This group of kids had a day to take a tour of the Science Center of Iowa in Des Moines.

The recognition program is sponsored by Case IH, Farm Credit, Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont Company and Syngenta, as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The National FFA Convention is the nation’s largest annual youth gathering, welcoming students, parents and educators from all across the United States.

The National FFA Organization, formally known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 507,763 student members - all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture - as part of 7,439 local FFA Chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.

way to the 82nd annual National Convention. The first night they got to hear a excellent message from Mike Rowe who is from Dirty Jobs. Later that night they also got to attend the Toby Keith and Eli Young Band Concert. Thursday the day started off early with a visit to the Fair Oaks Diary.

This dairy has over 32,000 head of dairy cattle that they milk three times a day. These students got to see how the dairy cattle are milked from day to day. Also they got to watch dairy calves be born while touring this tremendous place. Later that night they headed to a Bulls and Broncs event which was held at the Pepsi Coliseum.

On September 16 the Ravenna FFA Chapter attended Husker Harvest Days there were 28 members who attended this event. They not only got to walk around and explore all the different things but they were also required to go back to school and write a report about questions that they were provided with before arriving there.

The Ravenna FFA Chapter held their annual Labor Auction on the 26th of September and had a very successful event. Every year at this event all the FFA members get to be auctioned off, and the person who gets the highest bid on each student gets an eight hour day of labor from the student or advisor. Twenty-eight members, one advisor, decorative corn, decorated pumpkins, pedal tractor, and necklaces were sold in the learning center at the high school. The funding pays for the many leadership activities that they participate in throughout the year. There were 33 bid numbers given out this year with 25 of those buying at the labor auction. That is a tremendous number of supporters for the FFA program.

The Ravenna FFA Chapter attended District Livestock Judging on November 11 students had to rise early and leave the school at 7:15 am despite the early morning rise several FFA member did very well in the Junior Livestock Judging they came home with a 12th place Tara Dethlefs, 33rd place Garrett Irvine, 40th Joshua Boardman, 49th Liz Deines and a 58th place Alex Behrendt these guys qualified as team for the Junior division to go to state.

Shickley FFA Members Attend National FFA Convention Members of the Shickley FFA Chapter attended the 82nd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. This year’s theme was Lead Out Loud! The convention went from October 20-24. Members attending were Jennifer Mick, Matyson Kleinschmidt, Christy Swartzendruber, Dillon Deepe AND Jacey Shipley.

The members arrived on Wednesday and attended the opening session at the Conseco Fieldhouse at 7:15. The main speaker was Mike Rowe. Mike is the host on Dirty Jobs. On Thursday we got the chance to go to the Indiana convention center and attend three workshops. We attended Go Army, which had four army representatives who talked about their jobs in the army. Then we attended “Is “good enough” good enough?” This workshop talked about how we don’t try our best we just settle for good enough. Later we attended the Serve Out Loud workshop. It talked about community service and service learning. Later in the day, we

had the chance to attend the career show. We played agriculture jeopardy against an FFA Chapter from Iowa, and we also saw many different agriculture opportunities. Then we attended the national FFA Talent Revue. On Friday we had the opportunity to go to the Blue Springs Caverns and Gem Stone Mining. In the caverns we rode on boats and went through a mile long cave. We saw many stalactites and stalagmites, these take 100 years to grow one inch. In the cave we saw various formations from two inches to five feet. After that we searched for gems that we got to bring home as a souvenir. On Saturday we went to the FFA Shopping mall, then loaded up the bus and headed for Lincoln.

We would like to thank the following organizations for their sponsorship that allowed us to attend National Convention: Shickley FFA Alumni, Shickley Booster Club, and Shickley Public Schools.

McCool Junction FFA competed at the South Central Area District Land Judging contest on Wednesday, October 7th. This years contest was held near McCool Junction with several schools competing including: Fillmore Central, Heartland, Superior, Aurora, Hampton, and Red Cloud.

There were 144 individuals making up 39 teams at the district contest. The contest was prepared and hosted by the Upper Big Blue Natural Resource District and the Soil Conservation Services.

The participants determined many characteristics at four different sites. Characteristics included depth of soil favorable to root development, surface soil texture, subsoil permeability, thickness of surface soil, slope, and erosion. These characteristics were used to determine the best use of the land, such as cropland, rangeland, or wildlife.

Participants also had to recommend land treatment practices that should be used on the site, such as establish and maintain grassed waterways, build and maintain terraces, mow or spray for weeds, or to enhance wildlife habitat area.

The contest was a great opportunity for the class to apply what they had learned in their classes and practices prior to the contest, which was taught by Mrs. Dana Hall. Buck Breazeale and Jason Hall also helped at practices. Mrs. Hall, agriculture education teacher, accompanied 33 students from McCool Junction.

The McCool Junction State Qualifying Team received third at the contest and consists of Josh Pettygrove, Jeremy Coffey, Billy Hall and Taylor Norquest. McCool Junction students that competed and placed were: 3rd Purple-Lindsay Schwartz, 4th Purple-Josh Pettygrove, 8th Purple- Kyle Smith, 18th Blue-Alicia Coffey, 36th-Red-Rebekah Jensen, 37th-Red-Devin Coffey, 41st-Red-Jac Bailey, 48th-Red-Jeremy Coffey, 57th White-Ben White, 59th White-Bailey Fisher, 63rd White-Billy Hall, 66th White-Erick Ackland, 68th WhiteLindee Jackson, 71st White-Cody Brouillette, 80th White-Jordyn Duffek, 81st White-Wade Obermier, 82nd White-Scott Bellows, 87th WhiteDaniel Bauer, 91st White-Jared Morner, and 93rd White-Shelby Real. Other students that participated but, didn’t receive ribbons include: Coleman Cogswell, Kolby Cheek, Terry Salyer, Brett Swantek, Jessica Cheek, Brooklyn Swantek, Shelbi Aunskt, Kyle Hein, Wade Taylor, Daniel Bauer, Elizabeth Coffey, and Dustin Payne.

Brucellosis found in eastern Idaho cow

By Rebecca Boone, Associated Press Writer BOISE, Idaho (AP) The infectious bacterial disease brucellosis has been found in a beef cow in eastern Idaho, and state agriculture officials are scrambling to see if the infection is isolated or if it has spread to other herds.

Idaho Department of Agriculture state veterinarian Bill Barton sent a memo to state animal health officials on Monday, saying that a beef cow from a newly assembled 600-head herd tested positive for brucellosis. No calves or bred females have been sold from the herd, according to Barton's memo.

The herd has been quarantined and is being tested, and epidemiologists are trying to determine the source of the infection, Barton told The Associated Press on Tuesday. ``We've got just a few more head to do, and we'll be finishing that testing and have the results back in a few more days,'' he said.

Barton said the owner, who lives in the Rigby area, was cooperating. None of his cattle had been sold, other than directly to slaughter, Barton said.

The infected animal and other cattle in the herd had been vaccinated for brucellosis, Barton said. ``The vaccine is fairly efficacious in preventing disease, but it's not 100 percent,'' he said.

The animals came from a variety of sources, including private sales and livestock markets, Barton said. Officials had not yet determined where the man purchased the infected animal.

Barton declined to detail what prompted the state to begin testing the animals, simply saying ``there was an indication that this herd needed a whole-herd test.''

Brucellosis is rarely transmitted to humans but can cause spontaneous abortions, infertility, decreased milk production and weight loss in cattle, elk, bison and other mammals.

Gov. C.L. ``Butch'' Otter's spokesman Jon

Hanian declined to comment, referring calls to the Idaho Department of Agriculture.

A spokeswoman for the federal agency that oversees livestock diseases said an investigation has been launched into whether the infection has spread to other herds.

How long that investigation could take was uncertain, said Lindsay Cole with the Agriculture Department's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

The infection comes as government officials are considering softening restrictions that apply to states with brucellosis infections.

Because the disease has been eliminated nationwide except for Yellowstone National Park and surrounding counties in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, the government has proposed turning that area into a brucellosis ``hot zone.''

That would shield cattle producers outside the area from costly testing requirements for any animals they ship out of state.

A public comment period on that proposal ends Friday. No timeline has been set for putting it into place, but Cole said APHIS would keep those potential changes in mind as it deals with the Idaho case.

That could spare the newly infected cow's owner at least temporarily from being asked to slaughter the remaining animals in the herd. ``It may buy them some time,'' Cole said.

Idaho was granted brucellosis-free status in 2007 after losing the status in 2006, when the disease was found in a cattle herd in Swan Valley near the Wyoming border. Wyoming lost its brucellosis-free status in 2003 when the disease was found in a herd of cattle near Pinedale but was granted it again in 2006. Montana gained brucellosis-free status in September after losing the designation in 2008.

Beef Home Study Still Providing Key Information Noel Mues, Extension Educator Furnas County Sixteen years after the beginning of Beef Home Study Courses, they are still putting researchbased information into the hands of cattlemen without requiring them to attend a meeting.

University of NE-Lincoln Beef Basics Home Study Courses are designed to assist producers in utilizing research-based information to help them manage their beef operations profitably and efficiently. The producer benefits by developing the understanding of fundamental production principles and technical skills that contributes to a more sustainable business.

Time and expense of traveling to workshops and tours are big limitations to many producers.

Members of the UNL Beef Home Study Team initiated the series in 1993 so producers can study at their own pace and at a time that is convenient to their own work schedule. Since 1993 new courses have been developed and existing courses have been updated and revised.

The six courses are: 1) Beef Cow Basics Plus – Cutting Edge Information on Nutrition, Forages, Supplements and Economics (new in 2005). 2) Beef Basics II – Breeding for Profitability (new in 2009). 3) Beef Basics IV – Beef as a Business. 4) Beef Basics V – Nutritional Strategies for the Beef Cow Herd. 5) Beef Basics VI – Optimizing Beef Cattle Production on Rangelands. 6) Beef Basics VII – Using Corn Co-Products in the Beef Cow Herd (new in 2007).

Demand for these courses has been excellent with over 5000 enrollments from more than 25 states and several foreign countries. Participants estimate savings of $16 per head using the management and production information presented in these courses. This translates into an economic benefit of over 2.1 million dollars annually to the beef cattle industry.

There are no prerequisites for enrollment in any of the courses. You will be assigned to a University of NE-Lincoln Extension Educator who will serve as your instructor/coordinator. All courses include lesson quizzes to measure your progress and you will be given a certificate when you complete the course. For more information and how to enroll contact your local UNL Extension Office or go to the Beef Home Study Website at http://beefbasics.unl.edu.

Bovine TB tests to continue through December

Nebraska agriculture officials say they now expect bovine tuberculosis testing to continue through December as they investigate whether two cases found in one herd last spring were isolated incidents.

A total of 19,800 cattle in north-central and eastern Nebraska have been tested since the first cases were found in Rock County. No new cases of the disease have been found, but the herd where the disease was found has not yet been slaughtered.

Nebraska Agriculture Department spokeswoman Christin Kamm says the testing was delayed this fall because wet weather delayed the corn harvest some ranchers had to complete.

Nine herds remain quarantined in eight counties.

Experts say there is little risk of the disease being transmitted to humans.

and position squaring ahead of the Quarterly Hog and Pig report, may start to promote sideways to lower trade. On the chart, the February contract has been hugging the 20-day moving average for a few days now, which has held as support.

The April, May and June contracts have also held above this level. This is just above $65 on February, $69.20 on April and $76.90 on June. A move below this level could promote additional selling interest and pick up sell stops, but the trade should find support if cash trade remains firm after one additional chart sell off. Hedgers call with questions.

Heartland Express - District 7 FFA

December 10, 2009

Fairbury FFA Chapter The Fairbury FFA had a very successful 2009 Nebraska State Fair with many Champions and Reserve Champions. The Chapter attended Husker Harvest Days Farm Show and provided assistance in the “Nebraska Farmer Tent, with the Health Screening. The Chapter was very active during National Farm Safety Week. Members constructed an outdoor display, presented radio spots, and held a safety day for all K-2 and 4-5 grade students at our school. The chapter was also represented this past October in the Soils Evaluation contest held in Beatrice. Sixteen members attended the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana on October 21-25. Members attended General Sessions, Career Show, Bulls and Broncs Rodeo, Toby Keith Concert, and toured the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Fairbury FFA held its annual Family Soup Supper on November 10. During the evening, chapter officers presented the 23 Greenhands and 9 Chapter degrees. FFA teams performed parliamentary procedure, ag issues, and ag demonstration during the evening. The chapter will attend the District Leadership Skills on December 9 at Seward High School.

The chapter also did community service work during the fall. This included the construction of greenhouse benches and work on the new sports complex. The chapter also worked with the local radio station to conduct the Harvest Bonanza at the Farmer’s Cooperative at Daykin and Jansen, Nebraska. Chapter members provided over 200 sack lunches to farmers during harvest.

As a natural resources project, the chapter is now involved with the “Adopt a Stream” project in cooperation with Doane College of Crete. Members will test water samples in the Little Blue River at the city dam.

The chapter also received news that they will earn a NIFA grant, called the “Governors Excellence Award.” The chapter earned $1,000 to purchase technology for the National Animal Identification System.

The chapter is currently busy selling and delivering their yearly fruit sales.

Chapter degree pins and certification presented to: Shalyse Ahl, Karabeth Block, Thadieus Immink, Kaitlyn Phillips, Kyle Russel, Jarrod Shinn, Amelia Stone, Katie Umland, and Cody Welsch.

NATIONAL CONVENTION--Twelve members joined a record attendance of more than 52,000 members, advisors, and guests who crowded their way into sessions and workshops during the 82nd National FFA Convention held in Indianapolis, IN. In keeping with the theme of “Lead Out Loud”, the convention participants were offered a multitude of activities including the national finals for contests such as creed speaking and parliamentary procedure, award ceremonies for the star degree candidates, leadership workshops, and the career show which featured over 300 exhibitors from colleges and universities with agricultural programs, and industry representatives from production agriculture, agribusiness, and agriscience. They also heard inspirational words from a variety of speakers, including Mike Rowe of the TV show Dirty Jobs, who urged students to believe in themselves and to work to build lifetime leadership skills. The group also took part in educational tours which included visiting the FFA center, touring a Harley-Davidson manufacturing plant, the Gateway Arch, the NCAA visitors center, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Three members were recipients of the American FFA Degree, which is the highest degree a member can achieve in the organization. They were Amie Engelman, Julie Kalivoda, and Teri Ann Koch.

Heartland Express - District 7 FFA

December 10, 2009

Centennial FFA Chapter Cassidy Leif, Centennial FFA Reporter Centennial’s FFA Chapter has been very busy so far this year. The year started out with Farm Safety Day. Elementary students from Centennial and St. Paul came out to learn about farm safety.

Some of the main points they learned about were grain bin safety, machine safety, seat belt safety, and how to be safe around animals.

We had many new additions to this year’s event.

Butch came with his camel, buffalo, and wallaby to show kids how unique different animals can be.

A state trooper also came out to inform kids how beneficial it can be to wear your seat belt. The Utica Fire Department taught kids how to use a fire extinguisher and how to be safe around fires.

Seward Public Power, the last of our new stations, taught the kids how dangerous power lines can be.

Overall, the event went terrifically. Kids learned a lot while having tons of fun.

On the 21st-23rd of October, thirteen students from Centennial and four sponsors went to National Convention in Indianapolis. Students went to many sessions, went on a tour of a cavern,

and had the chance to go to the career fair. The students all had a fun time while learning a lot about agriculture.

On November 14, Centennial held its annual Harvest Dinner. The FFA puts a dinner on every year for members, parents, and people of the surrounding communities. The main purpose of the dinner is to celebrate new greenhand degree recipients and to thank farmers for brining in a bountiful harvest.

The night began with opening ceremonies. They were followed by a meal; all of the food was donated by members and the meat was donated by Nathan Baack with CPI. After the meal, freshman members were presented with their first FFA award. Centennial FFA’s main fall fundraiser is a live auction held at the Harvest Dinner. This year’s auctioneer was Kurt Wynegar. All items were donated by businesses and member families.

The FFA raised about $6,500.

We hope that the Chapter’s other activities can go as smoothly and as fun as the beginning of the year.

HEARTLAND FFA LEADS OUT LOUD Continued from page 1 career show. Members attending were; Andrea Boardman, Carlie Weisheit, Morgan Tracy, Connor Hiebner, Darrell Traudt, Brian Barr and Brandon Friesen. The Heartland FFA Chapter also had five American Degree Recipients; Karla Buller, Trenten Friesen, Michelle Newton, Tony Squire and Kyle Zierott.

Recently, the chapter welcomed 16 new members into active membership by awarding them the Greenhand Degree.

To help celebrate the Greenhand Degree Ceremony, members were treated to a hamburger feed. New members receiving the Greenhand Degree were, Sam Boardman, Deit Driewer, Justin Foster, Matt Hiebner, Mattison Hiebner, Maelyn Huebert, Aaron Jensen, Ashton Kroeker, Bianca Kujala, Emily Ott, Daniel Quiring, Brent Regier, Stephanie Stamp, Nikki Chacon, Leslie Borroyo and Alex Ruybalid.

Currently, the Heartland FFA Chapter has been working on their District Leadership Skills Events, which will be held on December 9th in Seward, Nebraska. Members have also been applying for the State FFA Choir. They are also looking forward to the Christmas Party FFA Meeting.

The Heartland FFA Chapter is off to a fast and active start to the school year. Members look forward to participating in other upcoming FFA events during the rest of the school year and “leading out loud.”

A Great Caring Team 39880

CRP acres add value to no-till operation

By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald Glenn Bauer began using no-till techniques on his North Dakota farm in 2003. He goal was to improve the soil health, get more diversity in his crops, and do it all as economically as possible.

In 2007 he decided to renovate a Conservation Reserve Program field and bring it into his no-till system.

"I'm not trying to do research," Bauer told his audience Tuesday morning. "I don't have time for that."

Instead, he and his sons, Steve and David, experiment with what they think will work, and after getting the results, they decide whether to try it again or go on to something else.

They are especially interested in using as many of their existing resources as possible in transforming the CRP ground into no till. This includes adjusting machinery and equipment they own, being innovative when it comes to "making do" with what they have, and depending as much as possible on their own labor. As an example, they were able to cut input costs for nitrogen by planting behind peas last year.

No-till techniques minimize soil disturbance and use weed-killing chemicals rather than cultivation to prepare soil for the next year's crop.

A roller they use in preparing ground, which has a lot of rock and gravel, for their pea crop was used to level the prairie dog mounds in the CRP field.

Bulk seed on hand was weighed in the grain cart, and seed still in bags was added as necessary to get the right mix. The small-seed mix of red proso millet, sweet clover, forage radish and turnips was placed in the grain cart, then augured into a truck and then augured again into the grain cart. The same was method was used for the large-seed mix of corn, peas, sunflower and buckwheat.

After a harvest, Bauer decides what to retain and what to leave out of the next season's mix. The family grows its own radish seed, after experimenting with just a few acres. The entire system is based on a short growing season, so warm season cover crop mixes have to be planted before Aug. 1, while cool season cover crop mixes have to be planted after Aug. 1. And Bauer has decided that the seeding depth on the expired CRP ground needs to be increased.

Bauer believes compaction is a greater problem than most people think. To eliminate some of the compaction, he uses a track tractor for most of his fieldwork. He wants to do further studies on the compaction issue.

According to his experiences, Bauer said the crops on his farm, which is located about 30 miles northeast of Bismarck/Mandan, are getting better, and the costs are decreasing. He broke even last year, but the big question is "What is the value of the soil health," which he is certain is improving with each crop.

"We'll just keep experimenting and try to learn from the mistakes we make, and we make plenty," he said.

Other Tuesday programs included Dr. Ray Ward of Ward Laboratories who talked about the carbon cycle, and Wing, N.D., rancher Darrell Oswald explained how he enhances his foraged based livestock operation with no till. The afternoon was spent in breakout sessions where producers were able to share their experiences and knowledge, and talk about irrigated and dryland no till, as well as no till and grazers, and beginning no till operations.

NRCS Provides $800,000 to Protect Nebraska Farm and Ranch Land LINCOLN – To protect prime farmland, historic or archaeological sites in Nebraska, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced that $800,000 is available through the agency’s Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program. Nebraska conservation partners and land preservation groups have until February 1, 2010, to apply.

The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP) is a voluntary program that helps farmers and ranchers keep their land in agriculture while preventing the conversion of land to nonagricultural uses.

“This program can help communities preserve farm or ranch land and cultural resources,” Steve Chick, NRCS state conservationist, said. “The program offers an excellent way to keep prime farmland in agriculture and, at the same time, keep farming and ranching communities thriving by relieving development pressures,” he said.

NRCS is seeking proposals from organizations interested in working with landowners to acquire conservation easements on farms and ranches.

Applications from eligible entities may be submitted at anytime, but must be received by February 1 to be considered for fiscal year 2010 funding.

Proposals should be sent to Steve Chick at the NRCS state office, Federal Building, 100 Centennial Mall North, Rm. 152, Lincoln, NE 68508.

The program provides matching funds to State, Tribal or local governments and non-governmental organizations with existing farm and ranch land protection programs and the ability to purchase conservation easements. Landowners may also contribute up to 25 percent of the matching funds.

NRCS may provide up to 50 percent of the appraised fair market value of the conservation easement. The entities purchase perpetual easements from landowners in exchange for a lump

sum payment, not to exceed the appraised fair market value of the land’s development rights.

The eligible farm or ranch must have the following components: · Contain productive soils or historic or archaeological sites; · Furthers a state or local policy consistent with the purposes of the program; · Be part of a pending offer from a nongovernmental organization, State, Tribe, or local farmland protection program; · Privately owned; · Covered by a conservation plan, and; · Large enough to sustain agricultural production, or serve as a buffer to protect an agricultural operation from development.

To participate in FRPP landowners agree to limit the use of their land for nonagricultural purposes. Landowners keep possession of their land, and work with NRCS to develop and implement a conservation plan.

Parcels submitted by eligible entities will be ranked on the following factors: · Percent of prime, unique, and important farmland in the parcel to be protected; · Percent of cropland, pastureland, grassland, and rangeland in the parcel to be protected; · Ratio of the total acreage of land in the parcel to be protected to average farm size in the county; · Decrease in the percentage of acreage of farm and ranch land in the county in which the parcel is located; · Percent of population growth in the county; · Population density; · Proximity of the parcel to other protected land; and · Proximity of the parcel to other agricultural operations and infrastructure For more information about FRPP please contact Randy Epperson at (402) 437-4048 or visit http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/frpp.

Bringing Increased Transparency to Government

by Congressman Adrian Smith Scottsbluff Office 416 Valley View Drive, Suite 600 Scottsbluff, NE 69361 Phone: (308) 633-6333 Fax: (308) 633-6335

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once said, “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

For too long the federal government has gone about its business in secret. Congress has added special-interest provisions to bills behind closed doors, spent millions with no regard to fiscal reality, and purposely passed bills no one had the chance to read.

Throughout the year, Democrats in Congress have passed expensive and massively consequential bills without any meaningful scrutiny, including a 1,073-page, trillion-dollar “stimulus” bill which was released at 10:00 p.m. the night before the vote, and a 1,200-page national energy tax bill which had an additional 300 pages tacked on at 3:00 a.m. the day of the vote.

Over the years as majorities have changed, both parties have been guilty of substantially changing legislation at the last moment or pushing through bills in the dark of night. This is not a case of Republican versus Democrat, but a case of what is right for the American people.

All Americans should have access to the information they need to make sure Congress is doing its job. This is why I am supporting several transparency initiatives – commonsense congressional reforms aimed at bringing much-needed openness and accountability to the federal government.

Congressional statements of disbursements are

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

now available online for the first time at http://disbursements.house.gov.

The Statement of Disbursements – which documents all Congressional, Committee, Leadership, and administrative offices expenditures – allow taxpayers to see exactly how their hard earned money is being spent.

I also support legislation which requires all bills to be posted online for a minimum of 72 hours before they are brought to a vote on the House floor, and I have previously written about the need for such legislation. I agree with those who say this already should be happening and not even a subject of debate. However, even something as simple as letting the public read a bill before Congress votes on it has stalled in Washington.

Similarly, I have supported efforts to have Members’ committee votes posted online within 48 hours so the American people can see how their representatives vote at this critical, but often overlooked, stage of legislating. I also have called for media access to the House Rules Committee (the panel which meets behind closed doors to decide which bills and amendments can come before the full House for a vote), and to make sure major negotiations on sweeping bills which would dramatically expand the reach of the federal government (such as the current government takeover of health care) are open to the public.

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

The fact such negotiations still are occurring away from the public eye flies directly in the face of President Obama’s pledge that such discussions take place before television cameras. It is time to make good on that and other promises of openness.

These measures should be brought before the House of Representatives for debate, and the American public should have the chance to weigh in on the need for a more transparent federal government.

You can read more about these and other transparency initiatives at my website http://adriansmith.house.gov or a special website hosted by Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH): http://gopleader.gov/readthebill. In addition, my complete voting and legislative record is available through my website as well as the Library of Congress’ website http://thomas.loc.gov, where you can view all amendments and bills from this and previous sessions of Congress.

With the federal government spending trillions of dollars this year and contemplating spending trillions more, we must instill a sense of fiscal responsibility and accountability if we want to avoid another fiscal nightmare. The best way to achieve this accountability is by shining sunlight on the matter – transparency which is long overdue.

A Revised Mission in Afghanistan

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

Like many of my fellow Nebraskans I watched President Obama deliver his West Point speech announcing a troop buildup in Afghanistan and I generally support the revised mission as it was outlined.

The President maintained the goal he outlined in March which is to disrupt, dismantle and defeat Al Qaeda. To achieve this goal, the President listed his main points:

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

American troops will begin to draw down by July 2011. But the scope of drawdown will be based upon conditions, which, in my opinion, is essential.

It is important to note the new strategy has the strong support of key U.S. military leaders.

Performance Based As the President said during his speech, “This effort must be based on performance. The days of providing a blank check are over” and I agree.

In order to measure Afghanistan’s political and military progress my hope is that a series of benchmarks will be included.

For months I’ve called for establishing benchmarks to measure the new strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They will help the American people see where progress is being made and what challenges remain.

Three Main Points 1.Deployment of 30,000 more U.S. troops in an effort to break the Taliban’s momentum, while simultaneously building the Afghan Army and Security Forces.

2.A civilian surge to work with the Afghanistan ministry, government, and local leaders.

3.Partner with Pakistan to eliminate terrorist safe havens in that country The president set an aggressive 18-month plan for our forces to train and then turn over the lead President Committed to Benchmarks security role to Afghan National Security Forces.

The Administration committed to benchmarks in

Washington Office 720 Hart Senate Office Building United States Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Phone: (202) 224-6551 Fax: (202) 228-0012

February and again in the Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week on the Afghanistan/Pakistan strategy.

During that hearing I asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the continued commitment to measure our progress with benchmarks. I was encouraged that they both said that benchmarks were being developed and changed to match the new strategy. I will continue to be adamant about reviewing and tracking these benchmarks.

A stable security situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan – one that is sustainable by their governments – is vital to our national security. It is my hope that Afghanistan will take advantage of this increased attention and support to prepare for taking the lead role in the security of their country.

As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I will pay close attention to the new strategy’s impact on our service members, how we will pay for it and what we can expect from the Afghan government.

Preventive Measures a Necessity in Health Care Coverage

by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

Dear Nebraskans, When the federal government promises to provide more for less, red flags rightly go up. This has been part of the health care reform debate. How can the government provide health insurance to tens of millions more people without skyrocketing costs, a decrease in services, or both? It simply cannot. Therefore, it begins to make decisions based on cost instead of what is best for patients.

Even preventive and early diagnosis tools-the importance of which have been heavily touted by this Administration-could be scaled back.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an advisory committee within the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), revised its recommendations for using mammography as a tool to combat breast cancer. The Task Force's recommendations now advise against the use of routine mammogram screening for women under 50 years of age.

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

The poor judgment of the Task Force has been criticized by numerous highly-respected organizations. Let's just start with the basic facts: approximately 17 percent of breast cancer deaths occur among women in their 40s, yet since regular mammogram screenings were adopted in the 1990s, the mortality rate from breast cancer has dropped an astounding 30 percent. The effectiveness of mammogram screenings in combating one of our country's deadliest diseases cannot be overstated. Since the Task Force's announcement, the American Cancer Society, the breast center at Johns Hopkins, and the American College of Radiology have all publicly stated the importance of continuing mammogram screenings for women in their 40s. The Mayo Clinic asserted they find "invasive breast cancer" in women in their 40s "every day."

Preventive health care services are a mandated benefit under the current health care bills before Congress. The legislative text outlines that the

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

standard for preventive health care will be determined by the recommendations of the Task Force.

In fact, in the current Senate bill, the Task Force is referenced 14 times. That is why the new guidelines are so troubling; they showcase how the government can truly set policy and make decisions that come between patients and their doctors-all in the name of controlling costs.

It is important that health care reform does not decrease the quality of care within our current system. Reform is supposed to make things better, not worse. Even President Obama in September insisted upon the inclusion of mammogram screenings, "because there's no reason we shouldn't be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse." I agree, and have sent a letter to Secretary Sebelius saying as much. I will continue working to see that the attempt to reform our health care system does not eliminate procedures that save lives.

FARM BUREAU ECONOMIST PREDICTS BETTER 2010 Continued from page 1 debt repayment numbers. "You guys have been very good ... not to get this massive increase in debt like in the 1970s," Young said, noting that any growth in debt has included asset growth.

Commodity markets' wild ups and downs the past two years have mirrored some of the trauma and uncertainty in the general economy.

Young said net cash income for farms totaled $68.8 billion in 2006, jumped to $78.24 in 2007 and then rode summer spikes in crop prices to total $97.5 billion in 2008. The 2009 figure is expected to be just less than $70 billion.

Meanwhile, farm receipts jumped from $241 billion to $325 billion from 2006 to 2008 and are expected at about $282 billion for 2009. "At the same time, we had a tremendous surge in expenses," Young said.

In the past year, the beef industry lost $20 billion in net income, dairy income was cut in half and hogs were down 30 percent to 40 percent, he said.

For 2010, Young expects livestock to do better and grain plantings to be about the same at 86 million acres of corn and 77 million-78 million acres of soybeans.

He said general demand for beef remains low because people aren't eating out as much because of the recession, and they're putting hamburger, not steak, on the grill at home. It doesn't help that export problems with Russia have left a lot of poultry on the U.S. market, despite less production.

Young said two big challenges for ag exports are the higher dollar and the continuing recession drag on consumer purchasing power worldwide.

The good news for corn growers is that margins are up for U.S. ethanol processors at around $1.50 per bushel, Young said, so there will be higher demand for corn.

He's also seeing more interest by investment fund managers in commodity futures markets.

Soybean growers may capitalize on price "pops" until February or March, when the South American harvest is in the bin. Young advised growers to watch for reports of dry weather, political unrest or other worries about crop disruptions and then "sell into those pops as they come along."

Once the South American harvest begins, market prices likely will drop.

Young said higher production in Russia and Europe, resulting in "gobs of wheat" on world markets, means lower prospects for wheat prices.

He expects history will show that the current recession ended in the third quarter of 2009, when job losses declined dramatically, business investments in software and manufacturing equipment were up, and employee productivity jumped by 8 percent overall and even more in manufacturing sectors.

"We're doing the best that we can to get as much out of our current workers as possible," Young said, adding that companies can use temporary employees for only so long.

"A lagging indicator of where the economy is heading is jobs," he said, so it may take five or six years to recover from months of job losses in the 750,000 range. "... Basically, all the (7 million) jobs we created in the last 10 years, we gave back."

Young believes there will be quarterly economic growth in 2010 of at least 2.5 percent to 3 percent.

Consumers ultimately will determine if the projections are correct. He said 70 percent of the general economy remains tied to consumer spending on goods and services.

Farm Bureau president challenges producers to speak up for agriculture

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Nebraska Farm Bureau President Keith Olsen urged state convention delegates in Kearney Monday to get out their toolboxes to protect their interests in a world that doesn't understand production agriculture.

"There is one tool we need to make sure that we use more. That is the tool of telling agriculture's story, telling about your operation and how important agriculture is not only to Nebraska, but to the United States," he said in his annual president's address.

Olsen said food production must increase by 70 percent, with no increase in tillable acres and under growing climate change pressure, to meet the needs of a world population United Nations officials estimate will grow to 9.1 billion by 2050.

"We are producing more food with fewer inputs.

We need to tell that story and tell it with pride," he said.

Information also is the tool needed to respond to critics of production agriculture, including animal rights groups. "Since agriculture started, producers have known that proper care of animals was needed in order for them to be productive," Olsen said. "... We must be willing to explain why we keep animals indoors, why we castrate, why we dock tails and dehorn.

"We, again, must tell our story in a way that makes sense to the consumers of our production."

Sometimes a hammer is the best tool to get the attention of legislators and other policymakers.

Olsen said the keys to success are selecting the correct hammer and knowing how hard to swing it.

"If we use too big of a hammer with too much force, we destroy relationships," he said. "If we use too small of a hammer with too little persuasion behind it, we will appear timid and wishy-washy."

Farm Bureau members were among the ag producers who successfully swung away during the recent special session of the Nebraska Legislature. They protected commodity checkoff funds from being diverted to balance the budget, as was sought by Gov. Dave Heineman.

"I think we've got it stopped for now," Olsen said.

He expects to see 2010 legislation that clearly says checkoff funds are restricted to their intended marketing, research and education purposes.

Olsen told the Hub that Nebraska's water issues always are a focus for NFB convention delegates.

The Grant farmer said there are critical issues in all the river basins, but the most immediate one is developing a water-short year plan for Republican River Compact compliance. He believes the answer must involve contributions from the state and the basin's ag producers.

Nebraska Farm Bureau supported the local tax options provided in 2007 by LB701, Olsen said, "but that doesn't mean we always like it (more local taxes)."

The special property tax was declared unconstitutional by the Nebraska Supreme Court and an occupation tax on irrigated acres faces a similar legal challenge.

"This is a tough time for the state to come up with any funds. We know that," Olsen said. "... The compact was set up by the state, so we feel the state as a whole has some obligation."

He told the convention's 150-plus delegates that Nebraskans won't like the results if they fail to come up with a compact compliance plan and the conflict with Kansas returns to court.

"The (water) challenges aren't insurmountable.

They can be resolved if we, in agriculture, make up our mind to work together," Olsen said. "The alternative, going to court, is not an option."

He acknowledged that the growing imbalance of urban-to-rural state senators creates challenges in getting support for vital rural Nebraska issues, including adequate funding for the University of Nebraska's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and for state aid to schools and counties that helps hold property taxes in check.

There will be another shift from rural to urban after the 2010 Census, but Olsen doesn't know how many legislative seats might be involved.

"We work well with our urban senators. We have to," he said, adding that most do understand the value of agriculture to Nebraska.

Average water use per acre in NE has decline

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Average water use per acre in Nebraska has declined as more and more state irrigators are turning to sprinkler systems, but the cost to operate those irrigation wells has gone up sharply, according to the 2008 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey released last week.

The survey, conducted every five years, showed Nebraska irrigators used less water from wells and off-farm sources in 2008 than in 2003, according to USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office.

Average water use per acre declined to 0.8 acre-feet in 2008, compared to 1.1 in 2003, while average depth to water dropped to 72 feet, compared to 80 feet, according to the survey.

The USDA reported that more farms in 2008 reported the use of sprinkler systems as the means of water delivery. Farms with sprinkler systems increased to 14,035, up 5 percent from 2003, while farms with gravity systems declined to 6,506, down 28 percent from five years earlier.

According to the survey, energy expenditures to irrigate cropland from wells increased to $42.89 per acre, up 40 percent from 2003.

Nationwide, USDA's 2008 Farm and Ranch Survey found that farmers and ranchers are now irrigating 54.9 million acres farmland, an increase of 5 percent since 2003.

The survey results show a continuing trend nationwide toward more efficient irrigation methods as farmers reported irrigating more acres with sprinkler systems and less with gravity irrigation. During the five-year period since the last irrigation survey, the area irrigated by sprinkler systems increased 15 percent, while the area with gravity irrigation decreased 5 percent.

Despite the changes in application methods, the USDA reported that equipment in general continues to be one of the leading expenses of irrigation. In 2008, farmers and ranchers spent $2.1 billion on expenses related to irrigation equipment, facilities, land improvements and computer technology.

Between 2003 and 2008, the survey reported that nearly 75,000 farms implemented changes in equipment or management practices that reduced energy use and/or conserved water. Nearly 46 percent of these farms reported reduced energy cost and 59 percent reported a reduction in the amount of water applied.

For the first time, NASS also gathered information on the use of recycled and reclaimed water. A total of 9,843 farms reported using recycled water and 3,205 used reclaimed water.
