The Lighter Side Connor Dethlefs was 12 years old in March 2010 when he manned a chute gate for his familys annual bull sale at his grandparents farm-ranch near Rockville. One question about proposed new Labor Department child safety rules is whether exemptions for youths working on a farm or ranch owned by their parents applies to working for grandparents or other relatives
By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub KEARNEY - It's impossible for Custer County rancher Barbara Cooksley to imagine a branding day without seeing children on horseback helping to wrangle calves. She doesn't know how routine ranch chores - taking mineral to pastures, checking fences and windmills - will get done if she and her

Livestock News husband, George, can't hire neighbor kids to help with those jobs. Those are two of many issues for the Cooksley Ranch near Anselmo, and for farms and ranches across the country, if child labor safety regulations proposed by the U.S. Labor Department are enforced. The proposed rules - which would prohibit youths younger than 16 from working with or around machinery, power-driven equipment,

livestock, chemicals and other hazards - won't apply to children working on farms and ranches owned by their parents. However, they would apply to other youths hired to work on farms and ranches. Ag officials say one of many questions raised is whether the family exemption would apply when grandparents or other relatives own the ag business. Continued on page 21

Weather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Al Dutcher Report Three precipitation events were observed across the state during the past two weeks. The most significant system in terms of moisture occurred during the 12/13-12/15 time frame as a strong upper air low moved from the southwestern U.S. toward the eastern Great Lakes. Allen Dutcher The southeastern 1/3 of the state received the bulk of the moisture as several locations south and east of Lincoln recorded upwards of 0.75 inches of rain. Most locations were in the 0.250.50 inch range. Following on the heels of this storm, a massive blizzard hit the southern Plains region, with the northern extent of the precipitation field brushing the southern tier of counties with a dusting of snow. The final system swept through the state on 12/22 bringing moderate snows to the Panhandle. Snow totals dropped off to a dusting across much of eastern Nebraska. With such minor snow accumulations, most of the

state will not see a “White Christmas” which is defined as a snow pack of one inch or greater when the official observations are taken. At this time, it appears that drier than normal conditions will be the normal during the holiday season.. Week One Forecast, 12/24 - 12/30:. High pressure is expected to dominate the central U.S. during the Christmas weekend, then slide eastward on 12/26 as a cold front sweeps through the state late in the day. Weather models indicate that moisture with this system will be limited and likely to produce little more than flurries and/or light snow with accumulations remaining under an inch. High pressure rebuilds into the central U.S. through 12/28 before another cold front sweeps into the state from the northern Plains. Once again moisture appears limited with this system and the best opportunity for accumulating snow will be across the western ½ of the state. At this point in time, models indicate no more than a couple inches of accumulation is expected and this may be optimistic. High pressure rebuilds into the region to end the forecast period. Projected High Temperatures: 12/24 (mid 30's NE - low 40's W), 12/25 (mid 40's NE - mid 50's SW), 12/26 (upper 30's NW - mid 40's SE), 12/27 (upper 20's NE - low 40's W), 12/28 (mid 40's NE - mid 50's
SW), 12/29 (upper 30's NW - upper 40's SE), 12/30 (mid 30's NE - mid 40's SW). Week Two Forecast, 12/31 - 1/6:. High pressure should block any moisture from reaching Nebraska during New Years weekend. Arctic air is projected to slide south out of Canada on 1/3, with a chance for light snowfall, especially across the western ½ of the state. As the cold air drops south, it is possible that winds will have an easterly component creating upslope flow conditions that may aid in the development of accumulating snow. High pressure will bring sunny skies and bitter cold into the central U.S. on 1/4 before a strong upper air trough moves into the central Rockies on 1/5. If the models are correct, a significant snow event may develop over the central Plains region from 1/5 through 1/6. Presently, the southern half of the state has the best shot of significant snow, but models are notorious for developing these strong upper air troughs too fast, so confidence in regards to the time of this projected event is low. High Temperatures: 12/311/1 (low 40's N - upper 40's S), 1/2 (low 30's NW mid 40's SE), 1/3 (upper 10's NE - upper 20's SW), 1/4 (low 20's N - low 30's S), 1/5 (low 10's NW - low 20's SE), 1/6 (single digits NW - low 10's S).
2011 Missouri River Flood - Effects on NE On June 2 Scouts Rest Ranch which was a Buffalo Bill home near the Platte River in North Platte closed because of flood fears. Exhibits were moved and berms were built around the buildings. As of July 13 officials said the flooding was not as severe as had been expected. On June 4, Omaha city officials began releasing 6,000,000 US gallons (23,000 m3) of raw sewage per day into the river from its plant in South Omaha. The city generates about 86,000,000 US gallons (330,000 m3) a day, but only a small percentage is dumped into the river. The city of Omaha installed giant water pumps just east of Qwest Center Omaha to evacuate storm and sewer water directly into the Missouri River. By June 22, the city estimated 3 million dollars had been spent directly towards this flooding event. On June 9, Nebraska reported its first eventrelated fatality when a worker was killed while working on a levee at Fort Calhoun when his truck tipped over. The flooding affected the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska, where the grounds of the plant were inundated by the flood,[49] however, the plant had been in safe shutdown mode for refueling since April 2011. On June 6, the Federal Aviation Administration placed flight restrictions over the plant within a 2 miles (3.2 km) radius in which planes cannot fly lower than 3,500 feet (1,100 m) over the plant. On June 7, a fire broke out in the plant's switch gear room, prompting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to declare an "Alert", which is level 2 on the NRC's emergency classification. Officials for the plant's owner, the Omaha Public Power
District (OPPD), were confident that enough redundancies were in place to ensure adequate safety. The complex's elevation is 1,004-foot (306 m) elevation above sea level and as of June 19 the river had risen to 1,005.5 feet (306.5 m). Officials from OPPD stated the Calhoun plant could handle water up to 1,014 feet (309 m). An 8 feet (2.4 m) high and 2,000 feet (610 m) long rubber berm surrounds the reactor building. On June 23 a helicopter being used by OPPD to survey transmission lines made an unplanned landing 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south of the plant. The helicopter was photographed lying on its side but there were no reports of injuries. On June 26 the 2,000 feet (610 m) long rubber berm at the plant collapsed after it was punctured by a small earth mover ("Bobcat"). It was reported more than 2 feet (0.61 m) of water rushed in around buildings and electrical transformers. Backup generators were then used to ensure the facility maintained electrical power for cooling. NRC officials were at the plant at the time and NRC statements said the plant remains safe. NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko confirmed the plant's safety when he visited the plant on June 27. On June 29 officials plan to close the Blair Bridge north of the plant effectively making the river impossible to drive across for 100 miles (160 km) from Sioux City to Omaha—although officials said they hope to erect flood barriers to reopen it. At Cooper Nuclear Station, Nebraska Public Power District's (NPPD) nuclear plant near Brownville, a "Notification of Unusual Event" was issued on June 19 due to the flooding.

Milk … a “Souper Food” Dana Willeford, UNL Extension Associate For most people, soup and cold weather go together. Soup is one of the simplest meals to prepare and will stretch into several meals. It’s an economical choice for a tight budget! It’s easy to make a nutrient packed bowl of soup. Add a colorful green salad and whole grain bread, and dinner is done! Making a milk based soup is a delicious way to give your family additional calcium, a nutrient many people are low in. Foods in the Dairy Group also provide nutrients such as potassium, vitamin D, and protein. Intake of dairy provides many health benefits such as building bones and teeth, and maintaining bone mass. It is also associated with reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure in adults. Try the “souper” recipe below to boost your calcium. Serving Soup Safely Source: Cook it Quick e-newsletter http://food.unl.edu
• For best safety and quality, plan to eat refrigerated soup within 3 to 4 days. Avoid letting soup set at room temperature for more than TWO hours. • Don’t put a large pot of hot soup directly into your refrigerator. According to the USDA, it
would take an 8-inch stock pot of steaming hot soup 24 HOURS to cool to a safe temperature. • To speed cooling, transfer soup to shallow containers, making sure soup is no more than TWO inches deep. Refrigerate promptly. You may place loosely covered foods in the refrigerator while still warm. Cover when cool. When reheating soup, reheat it until its hot throughout, at least 165°F. Midwest Chowder (6 servings) 4 cups water, divided 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed 1/2 cup carrots, chopped 1/2 cup onion, chopped 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup non-fat dry milk 8 ounces low-fat American cheese, cubed 1 (15 ounce) can cream-style corn In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups of water, salt, potatoes, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix flour and dry milk together until well blended. Slowly add 1 cup of water while stirring. Slowly add this liquid to the cooked vegetables. While stirring constantly, cook over medium heat until mixture is thick and smooth. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Add corn and heat well, but do not boil.
Get Started on Your Winter Bird Feeding Program Nebraska is a terrific place to discover the joys of learning about birds. You can start a bird feeding program anytime and results will vary with the seasons. For winter feeding, it is a good idea to have your feeders up now. Chickadees, downy woodpeckers and other birds are looking for winter feeding areas. And, food will be available to birds migrating through the area. Place feeders where they are protected by winds and predators. Choose locations where birds can avoid colliding with windows if they are startled and fly away from the feeders. Try putting your feeder in a somewhat open area but within about 10 feet of cover like bushes or trees. The birds will be able to see predators (like the neighborhood cat), and still use the shrubs and trees to avoid strong winds or hide from overhead predators like hawks. There are many types of bird feeders. You can purchase them or make simple feeders at home using recycled materials. Use feeders that protect the seeds from rain and snow, are easy to fill and clean, and have a way to dispense the seed so you don?t have as much spillage. Some seed that falls to the ground is okay because birds like juncos prefer to feed on the ground. A variety of feeders and foods placed in various locations around your home help provide for the greatest diversity of birds and reduces competition at the feeders. Small hanging feeders attract chickadees, finches and nuthatches. Feeders placed low to the ground attract birds like juncos and native sparrows. Solidly mounted, aboveground feeders attract a large variety of birds including cardinals, chickadees, grosbeaks, finches, woodpeckers and more. When choosing seeds, think about the types of birds you want to attract. Small black oiltype sunflower seeds are the most widely preferred bird seeds. Safflower seeds are popular with enthusiasts who report that cardinals, chickadees, some larger finches, nuthatches and mourning doves eat safflower seed, but it is not eaten by less desirable birds like grackles and starlings so they may avoid the feeder. Birds prefer good quality seeds that are reasonably fresh. For example: niger thistle seeds are popular in finch feeders. The seed is very attractive to finches when fresh, but they reject it if it is several months old. Commercial mixes may be a convenient way to get started and are inexpensive. However, these mixes may not be fresh and typically contain large amounts of filler seeds that the birds waste so they end up not being an
economical choice. Instead, try mixing your own seeds or try fresh specialty mixes available from sources that specialize in bird feeding products. Here is a seed combination that is attractive to a wide range of desirable backyard songbirds: • 50% sunflower seeds • 35% white proso millet • 15% finely cracked corn Other combinations of seeds also work well adjust them to your own situation and to the types of birds you want to attract. You could also try different types of seeds in different locations throughout your yard to see what works best. Important - Keep Your Feeders Clean! Clean your feeders and disinfect them occasionally. Use a solution of one part household bleach to nine parts water. Rinse well with clean water and make sure the feeder is dry before refilling with fresh seeds. Periodically sweep or rake spilled seeds and seed hulls from under the feeder.

• IT’S THE PITTS by Lee Pitts • Christmas Greeting by Lee Pitts
I'm one of those people who said I'd never forgo the sending of traditional cards and instead send one of those form Christmas letters that we all get bragging about the exploits of the sender's family. But have you seen the cost of a box of Hallmark Christmas cards lately? Couple that with the embarrassing problem of taking someone off your Christmas card list that you've mailed to for 30 years with no reply, only to receive a Christmas card from them the day before Christmas, which doesn't allow you anytime to reciprocate in kind, well, I decided this year to have my wife write and send an e mail Christmas letter to everyone this year. In having my wife write our first ever arrogant Christmas letter she discovered that it took too much effort. So we wrote an arrogant form Christmas letter that anyone can adapt for their own use. In the spirit of Christmas giving, I offer it to you. Dear (a) Friends; (b) Relatives; (c) Business Associates; (d) People We Want To Make Jealous; Well, another year has passed and that means it's time to send out our arrogant annual Christmas letter to (a) wish everyone a merry Christmas; (b) make our friends feel inferior.

time (a) high; (b) low; this year and so our entire family will be spending this holiday season (a) on an around-the-world cruise; (b) serving dinner to the poor and homeless; (c) eating Christmas dinner with the poor and homeless. To maintain the appearance of our garish and opulent lifestyle this Christmas (a) my husband leased and gave to me a fully loaded Cadillac Escalade; (b) we got a second mortgage on the house despite a credit score in the low two hundreds; (c) I got another job in town (my third.). For vacation we spent (a) two weeks in Tuscany; (b) one week at the county fair drinking beer and watching hog races; (c) a week picking up trash along the county roads as part of a guilty plea agreement in which my worthless husband was given two weeks of community service. Our entire family this year was humbled and honored (a) as Citizens of the Year; (b) to appear on the Judge Judy Show; (c) to finally emerge from bankruptcy protection. And as a concerned family of environmentalists this year (a) we installed solar panels, new insulation and wind machines; (b) we test drove a Prius; (c) my husband vowed to either walk or ride a horse everywhere he goes as a result of his third DUI. In addition to his strong commitment to the
farming and ranching community he (a) serves as chairman of the local United Way; (b) organized the local Tea Party; (c) hosts weekly poker games; (d) organizes the betting pool for local high school football games. I continue to serve (a) as dessert chairman for the Daughters of the American Revolution; (b) weekends in the local slammer. Our oldest son Steve this year was active once again in (a) FFA; (b) Weight Watchers; (c) Juvenile Hall; and he finally (a) graduated from Harvard; (b) flunked out of alternative high school; (c) got his ankle bracelet removed. Our oldest daughter Hyacinth was (a) Homecoming Queen; (b) an alternate member of the drill team; (c) knocked up by the Homecoming King. Our youngest son Josh this year got (a) his Drivers License; (b) ringworm from his steer that didn't make weight; (c) his first tattoo and tongue stud; (d) probation. Finally we know you're all dying to hear about our wonder dog, Potlicker. This year he (a) won a statewide sheepdog trial; (b) lost a paternity fight with a Shih tzu bitch; (c) got shot by the neighbor for killing his chickens. That's all for now. (a) Merry Christmas; (b) Happy Hanukah; (c) Eat your hearts out.

Comprehensive Tax Reform Key To Rebuilding Our Economy by Congressman Adrian Smith Grand Island Office 1811 West Second Street, Suite 105 Grand Island, NE68803 Phone: (308) 384-3900 Fax: (308) 384-3902

The November jobs report, which showed nearly twice as many Americans dropped out of the labor force than found work, underscored the deep and systemic problems still affecting the economy. One of those areas is our outdated tax code. Over the years, it has grown too complicated and cumbersome, and it is fundamentally unfair. There are many drivers of our sluggish economy, but we never will recover the jobs lost during the recession unless we undertake comprehensive tax reform. To simplify the tax code and grow our economy, we should eliminate tax preferences and reduce the overall tax rate for businesses and individuals, including small business owners. Doing so would make the tax code flatter, fairer, and simpler. Commonsense changes to the tax code will lessen the burden on families, ensure everyone pays their fair share, and create jobs by making America more competitive. The resulting economic expansion also would help us address our massive debt, which recently exceeded $15 trillion. With busi-
nesses growing and more Americans earning a paycheck, tax revenues would increase the long term. Comprehensive tax reform also would provide Nebraska families and businesses with certainty. The number of short-term provisions which are adjusted year-to-year has skyrocketed, making long-term planning almost impossible. More than 200 federal tax provisions are scheduled to expire between 2010 and 2020, whereas in 1998 there were only 50 such expiring provisions. An example of this is the current estate tax, which will jump to 55 percent in 2013. This tax disproportionately affects small businesses and producers, and the additional uncertainty puts the next generation of Nebraska business owners, family farms, and entrepreneurs at a further disadvantage. Making short-term fixes in exchange for longterm flawed policy is not tax reform, nor is it acceptable to continue down the path of adding carve-outs and loopholes. History has shown broadening the base while reducing rates spurs

the economy since these policies put taxpayers first - not the government. Tax reforms passed by Presidents Kennedy and Reagan were some of the most sweeping reforms in American history and were significant drivers of economic growth. Independent economists estimate, when coupled with reduced federal spending, comprehensive tax reform could lead to the creation of 1 million jobs in the first year alone. Conventional wisdom remains to think Congress cannot pass significant tax reform, but now is not the time to think small and shy away from addressing our nation’s biggest problems. Democrats and Republicans may not agree on everything, but both parties agree our tax code needs fixing. My work on the Committee on Ways and Means, which has jurisdiction over the tax code, gives Nebraskans a front row seat as we work to put together a vision for pro-growth, comprehensive tax reform.
Keeping Nebraskans Safe By Governor Dave Heineman Lincoln Office/State Capitol P.O. Box 94848 Lincoln, NE 68509-4848 Phone: 402-471-2244 Fax: 402-471-6031
Beginning January 1, Nebraska will have a new drunk driving law that forces offenders to choose an administrative license revocation hearing or apply for an ignition interlock permit. Through the passage of LB 667, we have found a way to ensure public safety with effective monitoring of individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), by allowing them to install an ignition lock device in their vehicles. The ignition interlock device prevents an offender from driving while intoxicated. Although LB 667 is a stricter law, it will allow offenders to drive to work, school and other specific locations in a sober manner that is safe to themselves and to other Nebraskans on the road. Choosing an ignition interlock device is the difference between keeping the ability to drive to specified locations and losing the privilege to drive until the court sentencing date. Ignition interlocks save lives and prevent alcoholimpaired driving, resulting in increased public safety for all motorists, including the driver. If an individual chooses installation of the ignition interlock device, instead of an administrative hearing, first-time offenders will be required to use an interlock device for six

months. For second and subsequent DUI offenses, there will be a 45-day suspension of driving privileges and the offender will be required to use an ignition interlock for one year. The goal of this new program is straight forward – No Interlock, No Keys. It’s that simple. Offenders who choose interlock will have four steps to complete. First, they must verify their eligibility for an interlock system to DMV. Once their eligibility has been established, they must have an ignition interlock device installed by an approved provider on each car they plan to drive. Third, they must submit an Ignition Interlock Permit Application to the DMV. Fourth, the permit is issued. A first time offender can accomplish these steps within the 15-day temporary driving permit period that starts the day of the DUI arrest. The permit provides for limited driving privileges, specifically, to and from work and school, substance abuse treatment program, probation or parole appointments, continued health care appointments, or the continued health care of someone dependent upon them
and court-ordered community service responsibilities. Offenders who choose to pursue an administrative license revocation hearing will have to petition for the hearing within 10 days of the arrest and will have the burden to prove to the DMV hearing officer that he or she was not the driver of the vehicle or that he or she was not over the legal blood alcohol limit of .08. An offender that does not meet the burden of proof at the administrative hearing will not be granted an Ignition Interlock permit. The offender may be granted access to Ignition Interlock by the court, but that would take place at sentencing in the criminal DUI trial, which could take up to six months. Highway safety is a partnership. It is vital that drivers and passengers commit to staying safe, sober, focused and buckle every time they are in a vehicle. This law is an important part of our continued efforts to make Nebraska roads safer and I encourage every Nebraskan to do whatever it takes to help ensure the safety of their families and fellow travelers during this holiday season and all year long.
Protecting Conscience Rights by Senator Mike Johanns Kearney Office: 4111 Fourth Avenue, Suite 26 Kearney, NE 68845 Tel: (308) 236-7602 Fax: (308) 236-7473

When President Obama delivered the Commencement Address at the University of Notre Dame in May 2009, he said, "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded in clear ethics and sound science." Yet in the months and years since then, the actions and policies of his Administration have pursued exactly the opposite. His health care law fails to protect conscience rights, despite promises to the contrary. Since the law was enacted, I have repeatedly called on the Administration to live up to its previous promise to protect conscience rights and pressed for legislation to ensure such protections. The Department of Health and Human Services recently proposed a rule to implement the new health care law requiring all new health insurance plans to provide contraceptives and the "morning after" pill at no cost to the patient. Supporters claimed it included a "religious exemption" clause, but this exemption was so narrow as to render it almost entirely meaningless. Many religious hospitals, universities, busi-

nesses, social services and charities with faithbased missions, serving diverse populations, would still be subject to the requirement. Earlier this month, I held a meeting in Nebraska with a group of advocates fighting to protect life in our state. One of their biggest concerns is that the current health care law could force them to choose between their deepest convictions and providing health care coverage. This is exactly what a religious exemption should be designed to prevent. Pat McCarthy is the executive director of the Lincoln Crisis Pregnancy Center. His organization helps women through unplanned pregnancies. While McCarthy believes in giving them the full truth on all their options, he doesn't believe his center should be forced to refer these women for abortions. "There's got to be room for people's heartfelt beliefs," McCarthy told me. I also met with Michelle Sullivan, the executive director of the AAA Center for Pregnancy Counseling. Michelle's own daughter is studying to be a nurse and has expressed that if she were forced to assist in an abortion, she would just as soon quit her chosen profession.

I cosponsored legislation to repeal the health care law and I voted for repeal on the Senate floor. The law simply represents a broken promise to all those organizations which were told their conscience rights would be protected. It's the latest way in which supporters of the health care law promised one thing, and reality turned out to be disturbingly different. This case and the many concerns I'm hearing have prompted me to cosponsor several bills to protect our religious and conscience freedoms, including the Abortion Non-Discrimination Act (ANDA) and the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act. My hope is this legislation will provide a robust foundation and needed clarity to current federal conscience rights laws by giving health care providers who object to abortion a clearly defined option to remain true to their convictions. President Obama was right. We should honor the consciences of those who disagree with abortion. We must do so with more than empty campaign speeches. Actions speak much louder.

A former TekamahHerman ag student has become the school’s first national FFA proficiency winner. Anders Olson named the winner in his proficiency area, Agriculture Sales— Placement, during the organization’s 84th national convention held Oct. 19-22 in Indianapolis. Under the guidance of Don Wallace, the Tekamah-Herman FFA chapter has forwarded more than a dozen national finalists. Olson is the first national champion. Olson also was presented with the highest award a member can earn, the American Degree. Less than one-half of one percent of all the FFA members in the country achieve the American Degree Proficiency awards recognize outstanding student achievement in agribusiness gained through establishment of a new business, working for an existing company, or otherwise gaining hands-on career experience. There are 47 proficiency program areas FFA members can participate in to develop valuable experience and leadership skills at the local, state and national levels. Ag Sales—Placement is sponsored by Fastenal and Vigortone Ag Products as a special project of the national FFA Foundation. Olson said it also is a very competitive area. He said he was notified in July he was a national finalist. At the convention each of the four finalists gives a two-minute speech about their proficiency to a panel of 15 judges and sit through a 15minute interview. Then they wait. “You have to wait a whole day. It’s very nerve wracking,” Olson said. “You have too much time to nitpick about every little thing you did.” Then comes the announcement. “I kind of fell forward. I didn’t know what to think,” he said. “Then a national officer grabbed me and ran me to the stage.” Olson said his proficiency was based on his work at the family business, Lee Valley Equipment. An entry is comprised of all the
402-374-1200 448 So. 13 St. P.O. Box 29 Tekamah, NE 68061 www.fnb-ne.com
skills, activities and hours worked at the business. Each of the four finalists received a plaque and $500. As a national winner, Olson received an additional $500 during a special ceremony at the convention. He said the money likely will be spent on his college education. Olson is majoring in ag business with a minor in ag leadership and communication. T-H grads Sydney Hansen and Andy Method also received their American Degrees. Although a total list was not available, Wallace told the Plaindealer the count of American Degree winners is approximately two dozen. Burt County had another finalist honored at the convention. Lyons-Decatur grad Eric Miller finished in second place in the Grain Production – Entrepreneurship area. It is sponsored by Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont business as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. The Lyons-Decatur Northeast FFA Chapter had nine members attend and participate in convention activities, two members, Eric Anderson and KayCe Hollman, earn the American FFA Degree, The L-D chapter also had other members attending the convention. Brittney Petersen, Jennifer Huffman, Taylor Mentink, Garrett King, Augusto Salazar, Corey McCullock, Lindsay Olsen, Jacob Maslonka, and Heidi Miller had the opportunity to hear a variety of speakers participate in over 80 development workshops and view over 150,000 square feet of a career show featuring companies, opportunities and college choices. The National FFA Convention is the largest annual youth gathering in the country. This year over 50,000 members attended from across the nation.

Wisner Pilger FFA Wins State Master Conservation Award Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter and its members were honored as a member of the elite class of eight selected as winners of the Omaha World Herald’s 2011 Master Conservationist Award. The Master Conservationist program was established in 1983 to recognize those throughout Nebraska who have excelled in soil and water conservation and protection. The program has been expanded from a production agriculture focus to now include community conservation efforts, as well as youth’s efforts in conservation. Current awards focus on recognition of excellence in water conservation. Awards are sponsored by the Omaha World Herald and the University of Nebraska – Lincoln Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The awards were officially presented at the Younes Conference in Kearney on September 26. Representing the Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter at the award ceremony were Latham Fullner, Chapter President, Jarrett Sindelar Chapter Community Service Officer and Mark Schroeder Chapter Advisor. The youth division awards are designed to recognize individuals or groups who are implementing unique ways to sustain water resources while creating new opportunities to improve the environment. Nominees age 19 and younger are eligible to be nominated. They must be Nebraska residents who have carried out a water and/or soil conservation program for a minimum of two years. Leslie Reed reporter and Jeff Beiermann, photographer for the Omaha World Herald spent time interviewing students about their conservation efforts on September 21. The story they developed as a result of their visit to Wisner Pilger High School was published on the front page of the Midlands Section of the Sunday, September 25, Omaha World Herald. Chad Moyer, Ag Director for KTIC, interviewed many of the students during the field day and featured them on his show “On the Road for Agriculture.” Jessica Cihacek, reporter from KCAU Channel 9 of Sioux City, Iowa was at the school on October 3 to interview the students and Mr. Schroeder about the conservation projects the chapter has completed. The goal of Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter conservation project as sited in the nomination has been to teach the students and community the importance of soil and water stewardship and conservation. It is a multi-faceted project involving no-till conservation farming methods in the FFA Chapter’s crop test plots; providing an environment where conservation methods are stressed in all segments of the program; assisting students with development of an in-depth knowledge base in soil characteristics, types and appropriate management techniques; providing students with information and leadership skills that they use to teach other members of the chapter as well as the community the latest techniques to conserve our scarce natural resources. Components of the Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter’s Conservation activities noted in the nomination included:
• The Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter has been given the opportunity to use five acres of farm ground owned by the school district as a test plot for corn and soybean crops. The students utilize their knowledge from their Junior and Senior Ag classes to plan, plant, manage, harvest and market the crops from the test plots, hosting an annual field day held on September 27, 2011 that has become a popular community learning environment. The test plots demonstrate total conservation and minimum tillage techniques. Since the school district is located in an intense livestock production area they have utilized manure as the key component of their fertilization program, and in turn used the test plots as a teaching environment for the entire community for conservation techniques. • Each student involved in the Ag program for their four year career develop in-depth knowledge and skills in soil characteristics, types and appropriate management techniques through their experiences in the land evaluation program. These valuable life time skills help them evaluate land that they are responsible for managing from residential to large farming operations. Through the program they perfect their skills and utilize them to make decisions during district, state and national (qualifying for Nationals in 2010 and 2011) contests, documenting the command of the knowledge base that they have developed. These are valuable skills that they will use throughout their lives. Chapter members have been preparing for the 2011 district land judging contest that was held on October 5. • Through the knowledge and leadership skills that the students have developed, they took on the challenge of teaching other students and the community cutting edge conservation techniques through the Ag Demonstrations that they developed and presented to over 600 people. Topics that they have researched and taught include: wind energy where they demonstrated how to locate, assemble and operate a wind powered electric generator; manure management teaching how to harvest, turn, manage and package fertilizer products; demonstrated how to make bio-diesel fuel and discussed how it can help our environment; installation of water sensor monitors to help manage the use of irrigation water; and in the “War on Wasted Water” they demonstrated how to install water blocks to manage water flow from tiled fields limiting the pollution of streams and rivers, making better use of fertilizers applied and managing water level which in-turn increases yields (Reserve Grand Champion Ag Demonstration at 2011 State FFA Convention). • Members have also researched other conservation topics and presented them to chapter members and the community on such issues as: manure management and electric generation through methane digesters, hydro electric power generation, benefits of wind generators, water and wildlife management through construction of
dams, carbon credits, and conservation efforts on a family ranch that earned the coveted Leopold Award for the family ranching operation. They have incorporated their research in a variety of speaking events that are part of the leadership development portion of the FFA program. • Taking on a new project several students are creating from completely recycled materials a pheasant habitat to raise young pheasants to assist in the repopulation of pheasants in our area that was greatly diminished by the harsh 2010 winter. Overall students in the program have developed a holistic outlook to conserving natural resources through their four year experience in the Ag program as conservation of natural resources is emphasized in all segments of the program. Whether the students are involved in residential projects where they develop plans for water management throughout a landscape design, to working to recycle discarded items to increase the pheasant population in the area, to making management decisions for the best use of a parcel of land in order to preserve its natural resources, to teaching a large percentage of the patrons in the school district on the importance of conservation of natural resources in all phases of their operation in town as well in the rural segments of the area. All of the FFA Chapter members gain an inner holistic sense for the importance of implementing conservation techniques in everything that they do. Innovative techniques that members of the chapter have worked with include: use of water sensors to manage water use in irrigated field increasing water management in additional acres in the school district, the increased awareness of what water blocks are and how their use in tiled fields can eliminate water waste, leaching of expensive fertilizers and reduce pollution that has caused the “Dead Zone” in the Gulf of Mexico, the opportunities that wind generated power can provide for farming operations as well as agro tourism for hunters from across the nation, to exploring how manure digesters can be used to produce electricity creating a growing interest in the topic due to the large quantity of manure that is produced in the school district and finally the districts patrons have learned research based non-biased information on carbon credits FFA Chapter members are using their creative skills and personal initiative to develop a habitat for pheasants from all recycled materials in order to increase the depleted pheasant populations. The chapter members have created community impact through the in-depth knowledge developed and the presentations that they have developed through Ag demonstrations, public speaking events, land judging contests, and test plot field days they have educated members of our community on how the wise use of conservation techniques can save our valuable resources and have Continued on page 16

The Blair FFA Chapter
Page 13
The Randolph FFA Chapter by Mackenzie Lemmons
The Blair FFA Chapter, located in Blair, NE has 60 high school members that participate in many community activities throughout the entire year. Activities include assisting with the FFA Alumni Tractor Pull, Washington County Fair, National FFA Convention, fruit sales, poinsettia production and donations, Leadership Skills Events, Career Development Events, National FFA week, Made for Excellence Conference, State Convention, COLT camp, Chapter Banquet, and other various community service activities. This fall Blair took 11 students to Indianapolis for National Convention where 4 members received their American Degrees. Blair FFA has their own greenhouse where students produce poinsettias in the fall semesters and bedding plants in the spring.
Rough hands, farmer tans, dirty boots, country roots. That’s right! It’s Randolph FFA. A lot has happened this year, starting with the Randolph Q125 this summer, July 1st-3rd. Our FFA members spent two weeks sharing ideas and gathering supplies to prepare for the parade that week. The float shared the idea of remembering the past and preparing for the future. It consisted of six FFA members, four chickens, the corn cob King and Queen from our previous FFA week challenges, and two tractors. After numerous hours and hard work, we were awarded second place in the category of clubs and organizations. Our school year kicked off with a FFA welcome back and recruitment barbeque where we were able to recruit 56 members! During September members participated in many district events such as District tractor driving, where our own
Rodger Haselhorst brought home first place, and District Dairy Judging where members learned the value of dairy cattle selection. Sticky fingers were gained as we harvested grapes to help out a local farmer. October was a challenging and busy month due to preparations for District Leadership Skills Events, our annual fall trash pickup and National FFA Convention. This year we had ten members travel to Indianapolis for National FFA and one member, Leo Haselhorst, participate in the National FFA band. Although it was a rainy Nationals this year, everyone that got the chance to go had a blast! We also decided to, as a chapter and as a fundraiser, hold an FFA haunted house. We prepared for a month in a lumber storage building owned by True Value and after one night of running, ended up having to shut down after finding out that our structure Continued on page 15
The Hartington FFA Chapter
The Hartington FFA chapter has been very busy this year. In late October several chapter members attended the 84th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN. The chapter attended for several reasons. The first reason for attending was to receive their National Gold Chapter Award. The Hartington chapter conducts many different types of activities each year which earned them the National Chapter Award. The second reason for attending the 84th National FFA Convention this year was to

The Hartington FFA chapter created a booth this year which featured how agriculture producers can come back from disaster after a natural disaster such as the Missouri river flooding, tornadoes, and hail damage. The final reason Hartington FFA chapter attended the National FFA Convention was to allow freshmen and sophomore FFA members to have the once-in -a-lifetime experience of attending the national convention. They attended leadership workshops, watched amazing speakers at the general sessions, and gathered career information at the Career Show. The group also got to attend a tour of an Elk Farm and a tour of the Blue Springs Caverns in Indiana. Overall it was a very educational and motivational trip for the Hartington FFA members.

Corn trade has rebounded solidly through midweek. South American weather concerns and improving outside markets have helped to fuel the rebound. The corn trade has moved about the 10 and 20 day moving averages, and is set to take aim at the 630 level on the March contract. Overall volume is low as the Holiday’s approach. Overall the trade was 33 higher on the week. Exports activity has been limited by the rebound in price and approaching year end. Ethanol production improved slightly this week, staying near a 5.1 billion bushel grind rate. Producer margins have faded to near breakeven levels recently, but blender margins are improved. Ethanol inventories increased 3% on the week, with better blender demand. However, there were not exports this week, but exports are not usually a weekly phenomena. US corn is still the higher cost option for feed grains. Chinese domestic corn prices remain stable indicating solid demand. Mexico does not expect imports to increase further from the already elevated levels due to slowing livestock demand. The December 2012 corn contract has rebounded as well, as the trade begins to speculate about the prices needed to secure the expected acre increase. Export inspections this week were 44.00 million bushels, ahead of the expected 32.5 million bushels an additional 1.3 million was added to last weeks total as well. Exports were above the top of the range at 715,000 metric tons with expectations of 450,000 to 675,000 metric tons. We are heading into the home stretch for 2011, and it is a good time to have your risk management plan updated for the coming crop year. Mar. 12 Dec. 12 Support: 561 522 Resistance 647 599
The wheat trade has moved higher in tandem with the row crops. With the large net short out there, this is promoting some short covering. The weekly net change is 34 higher on the March Chicago contract, KC is up 32, and Minneapolis is up 30. The Chicago/KC spread is staying at the low end of the range. The Chicago contract has traded even with corn all week. Plentiful soft wheat should keep it priced at parity with corn or at a discount. US soft wheat prices are a little cheaper than Russia out of the gulf now, but still at a discount to Argentina and Australia origin. Russia has completed the fourth round of purchases for their reserve program, getting towards 280,000 metric tons so far, with purchases expected to continue for some time. Middle Eastern importers continue to actively seek wheat. India continues to consider a limited export program but domestic inflation concerns have limited that so far. Wheat export inspections were slightly lower than expected coming in at 16.32 million bushels, while 17.0 million were expected. Export shipments are at a historically high 61% of projected as of this week. Active storm systems are reducing the dryness concern for the Southern Plains right now; the long term outlook remains questionable. Australian crop quality continues to suffer from rain damage. The Argentina government reduced crop size estimates to 12 million metric tons, which is well below the USDA estimates. The export sales were near the lower side of the range at 362,300 metric tons vs. a 300,000 to 500,000 metric ton range. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has continued to advance on South American weather concerns through midweek. The weekly net January soybean contract change was 23 higher through midweek. The trade is well positioned for a run to the 1180 area in the near term if the friendly bias continues, and the trade is solidly above the 1126 support areas. Meal is around $8.70 higher on the week; bean oil is down 10 points. The drying trend and recent heat has raised concerns about South American production. Rain is in the forecast for the end of the week, so the market will be watching that closely. The tight worldwide stocks to use ratio make any production slip friendly. Palm oil production has run into some weather difficulties in Malaysia, and could help to drive oil prices. While bean oil has been well supported, it hasn’t been able to generate upward momentum like raw beans and meal has this week. Basis has faded a bit into the end of the year. Soybean shipments were below expectations at 31.27 million bushels, with 32.5 million expected. The vast majority of these bushels are China bound. Taiwan purchased 55,000 metric tons of beans this week. Increased Turkish interest in beans and meal has been noted. Changes to the Renewable Fuel Standards may favor biodiesel in the near future. Increased corn oil production from ethanol plants has displaced some soyoil in biodiesel. Weekly export sales were above the range at 653,400 metric tons vs. 400,000 to 600,000 expected, meal exports were near the top of the 100,000 to 175,000 metric ton range, at a total of 142,000 metric tons, and soy oil exports were 14,800 metric tons near the top of the expected 5,000 to 15,000 ton range.

SCRIBNER-SNYDER GIVES BACK
THE RANDOLPH FFA CHAPTER
Continued from page 10
Continued from page 13
Every year the FFA and FCCLA participate in a spring and fall highway trash pick-up. In the middle of October we conducted the 2011 Fall Trash pick-up. Many members from both chapters showed up ready to help and get the job done. This year the pick-up was done in a very speedy manor. FFA Members: Derek Beerbohm, Brant Stockamp, Garret Bertelsen, Chauncey Homes, Jordan and Micah Schut, Brooke and Sonny Lodl, Amanda and Emily Schreck, Amanda Schellenburg, Kim Siebe, Lindsay Peters, Brittany Hilliard, and Amber Metschke. Good Samaritan Nursing Home Before the weather turned cold, the ScribnerSnyder FFA members made their way to the nursing home in Scribner to help them with some fall yard clean-up. The FFA members raked leaves, trimmed bushes, cut trees, and removed much dead vegetation. In addition, the FFA members will be making their way to the nursing home to help make it festive for the holidays. We will be helping put up Christmas trees and decorating the facilities in December. Food Drive
was legally unsuitable for a haunted house. However we, as FFA members, are encouraged to never let anything stand in our way and were able to overcome everything that had happened and set up a haunted pathway at a local home that was just as successful. November was met with LSEs early in the month. Nathan Tunink placed second in Natural Resources Speaking and Patrick Olsen placed second in Creed Speaking. Both will be representing our chapter at the State FFA Convention in March. So far our year has been met with challenges and hardships, which is just what we were expecting, and with the persistence of our growing chapter, we have been able to overcome and defeat anything that tried to stop us. I see a successful future for the Randolph FFA and an exciting rest of the year.
In conjunction with American Education Week, the S-S FFA sponsored the “I CAN Make a Difference Food Drive.” Each class was challenged with donating the most non-perishable food items, toiletries, or paper products for a prize. The "I CAN Make a Difference" Food Drive was a huge success! As a total, we raised 792 items for the Faith Food Pantry in Snyder! First place was taken by the 2nd Graders, who brought 237 items! Second place goes to the Kindergarteners with 132 items, and a close third place was the 6th Grade with 121 items. In order to reward the classes for their donations the FFA provided donuts and juice for the 2nd graders; cookies and juice for the Kindergarten; and because it was such a close race, the 6th graders each got a sucker! We really appreciate all of the community support and participation in this project. Those in the community that need it will be very grateful! It is a GREAT way to kick off the holiday season! Leadership Skills Events Several Scribner-Snyder FFA members competed in the District III Leadership Skills Events on Thursday, November 22, 2011 in Pender. As a team the chapter brought home second place in the small schools sweepstakes, which is overall total points.
In addition two individuals earned purple ribbons and will be representing the district at the state competition during the 84th Nebraska FFA State Convention held in Lincoln in March. Jordan Schut took runner-up in Extemporaneous Speaking with a topic of “EPA Regulations” and Brooke Lodl was second in Natural Resource Speaking with a speech titled “Air Pollution.” Lodl and Schut teamed with Derek Beerbohm in an Ag Demo on Mig Welding for a blue ribbon. Also earning blue ribbons were Vincent Weeks and Kim Siebe in Creed Speaking and Amanda Schreck in Public speaking. Red ribbons went out to the Junior Parliamentary Law team of Faith Cole, Amber Metschke, Emily Schreck, Dakota Lundry, Devon Greaser, Damon Risch, and Kim Siebe. Emily Schreck also brought home a red ribbon in Extemporaneous Speaking. Greenhand Night November 15 was the Scribner-Snyder Annual FFA Greenhand Night, where the freshman recite the FFA Creed and compete against each other to earn their right to go to District LSE. The four freshman that competed this year where Devon Greser, Vincent Weeks, Kim Siebe, and Damon Risch. Also this year, the students that are going to give speeches at District LSE presented their speeches. The audience moved over to the Ag shop and watched the other presentations as the judges got together and discussed which two freshman creed speakers they thought deserved to represent the Scribner Snyder FFA at LSE and hopefully move along to represent the chapter at State. This year the two members that were chosen were Vincent Weeks and Kim Siebe. Congratulations on a job well done.

The Wisner Pilger FFA chapter sincerely appreciates the entire community for their support of all of their activities including: attending parent’s night to help with speech and demonstration practice; digging holes to practice land judging, providing the land and inputs including seed, fertilizer, composted organic matter, planting and harvesting equipment for the test plots; attending test plot field days; and encouragement to continue to develop knowledge in new Agricultural technology. The continued support of the Louis and Abby Faye Dinklage Foundation helps to underwrite the expenses of Chapter members competing in district, state and nationals contests. FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Distirct Land Judging: In addition to excitement of the conservation award our chapter has been busy with many other educational activities. A big day for our chapter as members competed in District Land Judging which was held near North Bend. Only the top 150 contestants in the contest receive ribbons and individual rankings. Zach Johnson earned 352 points out of 400 possible points for second place individual honors in the contest earning a purple ribbon. Dixon Godbersen was awarded a purple ribbon for his third place finish with 340 points. Prudy Biermann won seventh place honors and a purple ribbon with 325 points. Colin Johnson finished in 15th place with 304 points earning a purple ribbon. Qualifying for the State Land Judging Contest which was held near Wahoo the first week in November was the team of Dixon Godbersen, Nick Marx, Nathan Vesely and Zach Johnson. They were the first place team in the district contest and received purple team ribbons. Each FFA Chapter may take one team to the State Contest. Other teams that will represent the district in the state contest are: Tekamah-Herman, North Bend, Howells and Pender. Wisner Pilger FFA was honored to have two teams place in the top ten teams in the area contest with 83 teams competing. National Convention: “I Believe” was the theme for the 84th National FFA Convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Indiana Convention Center, Conseco Field House and the Lucas Oil Stadium, October 19-22, 2011. Nine members of the Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter participated in the Convention along with over 56,000 members and advisors. National FFA Convention is the largest annual student gathering in the country. Attending National Convention from the Wisner Pilger Chapter were: Nathan Vesley, Caitlin Bak, Katrina Eisenbraun, Nick Marx, Emilee Peterson, Jarett Sindelar, Latham Fullner, Sarah Schweers, and Zach Johnson and Mark Schroeder Chapter Advisor. To meet their Convention schedule and ACT testing schedule this year the group flew to and from Indianapolis. Adding to the excitement of the trip was the fact that their first flight was cancelled due to
mechanical problems and they flew through Newark, New Jersey, a state where many of the members had been to before, to get to Indianapolis. District FFA Leadership Contests: Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter was named co-champions in the District FFA Contest Sweepstakes competition for large schools in District III. They share this coveted honor with the West Point Beemer Chapter. Each chapter is awarded points for participating in each of the contests and additional points are awarded based on how their members rank in their contest to determine who wins the Sweepstakes trophy. Makenzie Kalkowski and Erica Lewis dominated the Cooperative Speaking Contest. The each prepared and presented a five to seven minutes speech on how cooperatives function and the role they play in our economy. Makenzie was awarded coveted first purple along with a trophy and the right to represent District III at the State FFA Convention. Her topic was “Cooperatives: The Answer for Our Fore-Fathers, An Answer for the Future of Nebraska”. She also prepared a power point presentation to support her speech. The judges were impressed with her topic, noting it was new and interesting. Erica Lewis earned the second purple in the contest winning the right to also represent District III in the state contest. Erica prepared for this competition in less than five days developing her speech entitled “Cooperatives: Their Role and Effect on Our Economy”. During the speaking portions of the contest each contestant is asked to answer questions from the judges for approximately ten minutes to test their knowledge of their depth of knowledge related to their topic. Emilee Peterson and Jasmine Kepler competed in the Extemporaneous contest where they draw a topic and then they were given 30 minutes to prepared and present a five minute speech on a current Agricultural issue. Following their presentation they must also answer questions from the judges. Emilee was awarded the coveted first purple along with a trophy and the right to represent District III at the State FFA Convention. Jasmine won a red ribbon.
Wisner Pilger captured Reserve Champion honors in the Ag Demonstration competition. “Planting the Seeds of Success” is the title of the Ag Demonstration developed by the senior members of the Wisner Pilger FFA Chapter. Latham Fullner, Nick Marx, Dixon Godbersen, and Nathan Vesley spent considerable time this fall researching and developing their presentation on testing and repairing seed meters for planters. During their demonstration they documented the importance of planting accuracy, shared amounts lost with miss placed seeds and gave hints on how to improve efficiency with planting equipment you currently own. The team was awarded a purple ribbon for their long hours of early morning practice. They will represent District III in the State FFA Ag Demonstration Contest in early April, 2012. “Don’t Get Bugged by Foodborne Illness” is the title of the demonstration developed by the junior members of the FFA Chapter. Members of the team were: Andrew Brahmer, Cody Callies, Emma Heermann, and Jarett Sindelar with Prudence Biermann, and Nic Polenske serving as the video technicians for the presentation. They learned about food borne illness –the causes, symptoms and how to prevent it throughout the food preparation cycle. They also shared how to clean, separate, cook and chill in order to keep food safe. They have practiced every morning before school for three weeks learning details of food safety and perfecting their speaking skills. They received the second blue ribbon in the contest for their efforts. Wisner Pilger was represented by Callie Albers in the extremely competitive Senior Public Speaking Contest. Callie’s topic was on “Food Verse Fuel: Has the Debate Grown Cold?” She worked for weeks before the contest to prepare for the 6 to 8 minute speech competition. Callie was awarded the second purple and the right to represent District III at the State FFA Convention. Erica Styskal also prepared to compete in the District Senior Public Speaking Contest. The state contest will be held at Pershing Auditorium on March 29, 2012 during the State FFA Convention.

Preparing for Winter Storm Emergencies As Nebraskans, we take winter storm warnings in stride but severe storms can often disrupt your usual routine. Winter storms can leave you without power or prevent you from getting to the grocery store. Planning ahead for winter weather can eliminate a major source of stress for you, your family, or others you care for, such as an elderly relative or neighbor. Planning ahead for winter storm emergencies can range from a well-organized seven-day emergency food supply to just keeping a few basic items on hand. Regardless of the complexity of your emergency preparations, keeping food safe is an important consideration. Always keep meat, poultry, fish, and eggs refrigerated at or below 40°F, and frozen food at or below 0°F. This may be challenging if there is no power! Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors
closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature. Once the power goes off, the refrigerator will keep food safely cold for about four hours if it’s unopened. A full freezer will hold the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it’s half full) if the door remains closed. Be prepared by stocking up on staples which don’t need to be refrigerated. Either they are precooked and can be used cold, or only require the addition of hot water. Here are some examples to keep on hand: • Water — one gallon per person per day • Ready-to-eat canned foods — vegetables, fruit, beans, meat, fish, poultry, pasta • Soups, canned • Smoked or dried meats — e.g., commercial beef jerky • Dried fruits and vegetables, raisins, fruit leather
• Juices — (vegetable and fruit) bottled, canned, or powdered • Milk — powdered, canned, or evaporated • Staples like sugar, instant potatoes and rice, coffee, tea, cocoa mix • Ready-to-eat cereals — instant hot cereals • High energy foods — peanut butter, nuts, trail mix, and granola bars • Crackers, cookies, candy, chocolate bars, soft drinks, other snacks • Ready-to-use baby formula for infants • Pet food • Manual can opener Consider what you can do ahead of time to store food safely in an emergency. For example, keep an insulated cooler on hand to keep food cold if the power is out for more than four hours. Keep frozen gel packs or blocks of ice in your freezer and use these to keep perishable food cold in the cooler.
Conservation Buffers What are conservation buffers? A conservation buffer is a narrow strip of land consisting of a permanent vegetation type, such as grass, trees, shrubs, or a combination of the three, planted along the edge of a stream or pond. The benefits of these buffers are multiple and can have a positive impact on your property. Listed below are several of the advantages associated with conservation buffers. • Reduce the risk of water contamination by catching pesticides and fertilizers before they can wash into streams and ponds. • Provide the habitat needed by wildlife and aquatic animals and plants. • Provide a safety zone between the field and the edge of a stream to keep equipment and operators away from the edge of steep embankments. • Can help reduce or slow down steep bank erosion by establishing permanent vegetation. • Eliminate farming of wet areas along streams and ponds that are often difficult to manage profitably.
• Eliminate following the edge of a meandering stream that can lead to many short crop rows. • Provide an area for alternative crop production. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) offers an annual rental payment for establishing or improving conservation buffers in cropland areas, field margins, and marginal pastureland suitable for use as a riparian buffer. Land under consideration must have been owned for at least 12 months prior to an offer being submitted. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Continuous Sign-Up assists with 50 percent of the average cost of establishing these buffer strips. The program also provides an annual payment based on soil rental rates determined for each county, approximately $120–$150 per acre per contract year. The contract length is from 10–15 years. There is also a one-time signing incentive payment of $100 per acre for eligible participants who enroll certain practices.
Continuous CRP is an open enrollment program. A landowner or operator may sign up for the program at any time with their local FSA office. For more information on the CRP program, contact the Lancaster County Farm Service Agency at (402) 423-9683. Program guidelines are also online at http://usda.gov (search for “conservation reserve program”). The State of Nebraska, local Natural Resources District (NRD), and other non-profit groups may have additional programs to help get conservation buffers planted along streams and ponds.

Loss of Federal Incentive Could Hurt Cellulosic Ethanol By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Nebraska's ethanol industry could be adversely impacted if Congress doesn't extend key tax incentives, especially those for cellulosic ethanol, a Nebraska Ethanol Board official said. The incentives that the Advanced Ethanol Council (AEC) and other groups are seeking to extend are designed to help the cellulosic ethanol industry, especially the Cellulosic Biofuels Producer Tax Credit and the Special Depreciation Allowance for Cellulosic Biofuel Plant Property. They are set to expire on Dec. 31. Steve Sorum, ethanol project manager for the Nebraska Ethanol Board, said if the tax incentive for cellulosic ethanol expires at the end of the month, "it has the potential to stop alternative ethanol production in its tracks." He said cellulosic ethanol hasn't developed at a rate that will allow it to be competitive at this point. "While people still talk confidently about it, it is a ways off, and without some sort of buffer to help them get past the price situation, it will be impossible to get money to build the facilities," Sorum said. According to AEC Executive Director Brooke Coleman, these tax incentives "are vital to the ongoing development of the domestic advanced ethanol industry. To ensure stability in the marketplace, and prevent unnecessary job losses, Congress should provide long-term extensions of these provisions (five-plus years)."
Sorum said ending the subsidy "could be significant." For example, he points to Abengoa Bioenergy, which has a cellulosic ethanol pilot plant in York. The company is also constructing a commercialscale biorefinery to produce renewable liquid fuel from organic feedstock sources " plant fiber, or cellulosic biomass " in Kansas. "It is still difficult, economically, as the cost of production still ranges, by most estimates, from $4 to $4.50 per gallon," Sorum said. "There is a critical need for some federal or even state assistance that can them get past that price differential and get that product into the market." When Congress passed the renewable fuels standard in 2006, a goal was set to produce 36 billion gallons of domestic renewable fuels by 2022. Ethanol from corn was to provide 15 billion gallons with cellulosic ethanol and other renewable fuels to provide the remainder. While it is estimated that the U.S. will produce 14 billion gallons of ethanol this year, cellulosic ethanol has yet to get off the ground. Sorum said the corn ethanol industry could reach that 15 billion-gallon cap next year. "Nebraska producers and the entire ethanol industry are looking at bumping up against the cap of the renewable fuel standard real quickly," Sorum said. Because of the renewable fuel standard, Nebraska's economy could see a $7 billion to $8 billion bump from just corn production this year because of higher corn prices and production at
more than 1.5 billion bushels. According to the Nebraska Ethanol Board, there are 25 ethanol production plants in Nebraska, requiring 818 million bushels of grain. Because of high gas prices this year, ethanol producers have had a good year financially, as wholesale ethanol prices are tied to gasoline prices, Sorum said. But while gasoline prices are high, gasoline consumption is in its fourth year of decline in the U.S. Americans will consume about 135 billion gallons of gasoline this year. As new ethanol biorefineries are beginning construction, the AEC emphasized the importance of consistent federal policy. "The advanced and cellulosic biofuels industry is now in the process of building new plants, innovating existing production facilities with emerging technologies and introducing new product streams that will allow the renewablefuels sector to become more profitable, diversified and efficient," Coleman said. He said several billion dollars have been invested in advanced biofuels development with the expectation that Congress will stay the course with regard to its commitment to the industry. "A tax increase on advanced biofuels at this time would curtail investment and undercut an industry just starting to close deals and break ground on first commercial plants," he said.
Analysis and Comments from the Range Beef Cow Symposium Noel Mues, Extension Educator University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension I attended the Range Beef Cow Symposium (RCBS) that was held at the Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds in Mitchell, NE. Here are the analysis and comments that were given by the Livestock Marketing Information Center that is part of the State Extension Services in cooperation with USDA. Cattle Numbers and Comments: A Cow-Calf Perspective – This past summer, drought caused a downsizing in the U.S. beef cowherd, which had already shrunk in recent years. High grain prices have caused some mixed cropping/cow operations in the Midwest and some additional states to reduce forage production (hay and pasture) and eliminate or downsize their livestock enterprise to focus on selling grain. Overall, three factors will continue to support cattle prices in the next few years: 1) tight cattle numbers; 2) strong export markets (beef and byproducts); and 3) rather tight domestic supplies of competing meats and poultry. Here, we will focus on cattle numbers and implications. Cattle numbers are important, but how important? Historically, cyclical ups-and-downs in the number of head were often viewed as providing a basis for planning. In the last few years cattle producers have become all too familiar with record high and volatile input costs such as fuel and feedstuffs. The beef industry has also suffered through three unforeseen demand shocks since 2000 – the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the late

December 2003 case of a BSE cow, and the 2008 financial crisis that turned a normal recession into the worst economic contraction since the Great Depression. In spite of all that, Southern Plains annual average calf prices posted record highs in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011. Over the years, cycle analysis has become lessand-less relevant to the cattle business. That is not to say that an understanding of cattle numbers and directions of change are not important in a business plan. It simply means that this is no longer a highly cyclical industry with inventory cycles lasting about 10-years. Compared to history, cattle inventory swings (cyclical amplitude) are now greatly dampened and their duration is more difficult to specify. Unpredictability is not limited to the cattle cycle. Volatility can be found throughout today’s economic environment. Changes in oil prices quickly reverberate through corn markets and impact feeder animal prices. Globalization has made foreign consumers and international trade policies drivers of beef and byproducts. A less cyclical and more volatile industry is one which requires management to focus on within-year and annual market drivers. Managing In These Times – Four characteristics of the cattle industry operating environment are expected to dominate the next five years: 1) Supplies of feeder cattle will remain tight by historical standards. 2) Price volatility (inputs and outputs) and market shocks will continue.
3) Historically high feedstuff cost range will continue. 4) Export demand for animal protein and byproducts will grow. Forecasts indicate that prices for beef and all types of cattle (e.g. breeding stock, calf and cull cow) have not yet reached their top. High cattle prices and high costs of production make mistakes on the ranch increasingly costly. For cow-calf operations this has many implications, a few of which are: · The value of forage-based gain has changed (forage is much more valuable). Managing forage will be a key to success more than ever. The economics of range improvements have changed dramatically. · Cow-calf operations need to critically look at the economics of their heifer enterprise, and evaluate using low-cost systems as part of a business plan. · Cattle feeders and packers will face margin compression. So, the estimated returns of retained ownership can change quickly. Agile and adaptable firms will have opportunities benefit in this economic environment. Reviews and evaluations of management and marketing plans will be more important than ever. Success will require periodic assessment (every 3-4 months at least), not annually based on the cattle cycle. Communications within the management team need to be clear so that major profit opportunities, which might be fleeting, are not missed.

PROPOSED FEDERAL CHILD LABOR RULES NOT GOOD FIT FOR FARMS & RANCHES Continued from page 1 At last week's Nebraska Farm Bureau convention in Kearney, American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman called the Labor Department proposals "probably the most idiotic legislation that has come along in a long time." Cooksley believes the proposals will lead to unintended consequences, including increasing the danger for youths who visit farms and ranches but haven't been allowed to work around livestock and equipment at an earlier age to learn about safety. Labor Department officials point out that child labor rules for agriculture were last updated in 1970. "Fine. Review it. But use common sense," Cooksley said, including taking into account all the safety measures implemented on farms and ranches in the past 40 years. Former Nebraska Farm Bureau President Keith Olsen of Grant said ag producers want to provide a safe environment for their children and all employees. He added that it's important to the future of agriculture to give young people opportunities to learn about farming and ranching, and to develop a work ethic. Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach understands the value of a farm-based work ethic from raising his triplets - Evan, Emily and Alec - on a crop and livestock farm near Sumner. Ibach said job recruiters come to Midwest colleges and universities because they appreciate the region's reputation for raising kids with a strong work ethic and they know that students with farm or ranch backgrounds "were not standing around with idle hands all summer." More than 70 ag organizations have sent comments opposing the rule changes to the Labor Department individually and/or as part of what National Cattlemen's Beef Association Chief Executive Officer Forrest Roberts calls the "barnyard coalition." "This is probably one issue where there is complete agreement among the agriculture groups," Roberts said at last week's Nebraska Cattlemen convention in Kearney. Tangled mess Ag officials say the Labor Department proposals don't recognize that 21st century agriculture has
complex farm and ranch ownership and business relationships. "These regulations would be so restrictive that you couldn't get out there (on a farm or ranch) if you are a child of a partner or shareholder," Stallman said. NCBA comments to federal officials say that many family farms and ranches are organized as limited liability companies, corporations or other partnerships for reasons such as estate planning and ease of business transactions. Cooksley wonders how rules governing hired hands younger than age 16 would apply to the children in her nephew's family. They live on the Cooksley Ranch. Ibach said the Labor Department's definition of "direct supervision of a parent" is one of many areas subject to interpretation. What happens to the exemption for a farm or ranch owner's children if another relative or adult employee manages day-to-day operations? What if those children operate their parents' equipment on property owned or operated by other relatives or neighbors as part of a custom farming or equipment sharing agreement? The NCBA statement says, "What is important is the safety oversight of the youth at a time of employment." Practical problems Other worries include whether the regulations covering paid work by nonfamily youths would be extended to other activities. Buffalo County Extension Educator Brian Bosshamer said that if livestock safety rules are broadly written, they could affect 4-H and FFA members who live in town but keep project animals at area farms. Ibach wonders whether "supervised experiences" with an FFA adviser or 4-H leader would be allowed or if only a parent can supervise projects involving livestock, machinery or power tools. His children were exhibiting sheep, beef cattle and swine in 4-H at age 8. They and other youths hired to work at the Ibach farm helped with many jobs before age 16 that would be prohibited for nonfamily youths by the proposed Labor Department rules. "Even in preschool, they were out on the farm with us," Ibach said about his triplets. "They'd go get me a screwdriver or get a (irrigation pipe)
gate. Kids exposed to the farm all their lives as part of the family business are aware of the hazards." He added that some of the kids he hired found an interest in 4-H or FFA from that experience. Ibach said the proposed rules could restrict even the most common entry-level job for many children on farms and ranching: mowing yards. Other gray areas include whether "pay" is money only or some other benefit and how to separate work from play. All-terrain vehicles and horses are important tools for tasks such as checking cattle and irrigation systems. But they're also used for recreation by farm and ranch kids and their friends, Ibach said. "In small Nebraska communities, there are all kinds of opportunities to bridge that gap between town kids and farm kids," he said. "And with that opportunity, they learn where their food comes from." "When I was growing up on a farm, we would have our friends come out from Amherst to chop musk thistles or ride the four-wheelers," Bosshamer said, and town kids were exposed to agriculture. Money important too Farm and ranch jobs also are important for rural kids to make money, especially if they're too young or live too far away for town jobs. "In a smaller community, there aren't a lot of job opportunities," Bosshamer said. Cooksley said regulators must remember that for rural kids living far from even the smallest towns, working on a farm or ranch is about earning some income, not just having a job. Ibach said federal officials should consider public comments and modify the proposed rules. If not, he hopes Congress will act to change the rules. Cooksley said all of the many problems with the Labor Department proposals should be dealt with as a whole. She noted that concerns for detasseling crews have received the most attention. "I guess I'm a little disheartened that some of our legislators are trying to do this piecemeal," she said. "Exempt detasseling. That's good. But we need to address the whole deal that's bad."
U.S. Department of Labor Youth Farm Employment Safety Proposal Elements • Agricultural hazardous occupations orders for young workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act have not been updated since 1970. • The act sets a minimum age of 18 for hazardous work in non-ag employment and 16 in ag employment. • A goal is to bring parity between the rules for ag jobs and the more stringent rules for other workplaces. • Regulations would NOT apply to children working on farms owned by their parents. • They would prohibit or strengthen current laws prohibiting other farm workers age 16 and younger from: -Working with animals and in pesticide handling, timber operations, manure pits and storage bins. -Using electronic devices, including communication devices, while operating power-driven equipment. -Operating almost all power-driven equipment. A limited exemption would permit some student learners to operate certain farm implements and tractors under specified conditions. • Regulations would prevent children younger than age 18 from employment where raw farm products are stored, marketed or transported, including country grain elevators, grain bins, silos, feedlots, stockyards, livestock exchanges and livestock auctions.

Nebraska Farm Safety Sharry Nielsen, a University of NebraskaLincoln Extension educator in Kearney County and a farm-safety specialist, said there were two farm fatalities in Nebraska in 2011 as of August. The accidents involved children ages 8 and 3. That compares with 10 motor-vehicle accident fatalities of ages 19 and younger through August. The most common causes of farm-related fatalities for children age 18 and younger in recent years were: 2007-2011 (10 total) - ATVs, five; and run over, rolled farm truck, livestock equipment, shop accident and unspecified, one each. 2002-2006 (14 total) - ATVs, seven; animal, three; run over, two; and livestock equipment and electricity, one each. National Farm Safety • In 2010, there were approximately 2.2 million U.S. farms. • In 2009, more than 1.04 million children lived on farms. • In 2006, more than half of all youths living on farms performed work and another 307,000 were hired to do work. • The National Safety Council's 2009 edition of "Injury Facts" ranked agriculture as the most dangerous U.S. industry, with 28.6 deaths per 100,000 adult workers. Child workers: • Agriculture has the second-highest fatality rate, at 21.3 per 100,000 full-time equivalents, compared to 3.6 across all industries.
• The leading sources of fatal injuries on farms from 1995-2000 were machinery, including tractors, 25 percent; motor vehicles, including ATVs, 17 percent; and drowning, 16 percent. • Data from 2006 indicates that 75 percent of injured children were not actively working when injured. • The injury rate was significantly greater in livestock operations than in crop operations. • From 1998-2009, the rate of injuries per 1,000 farms, including children who reside there, visit or were hired to work, declined by 59 percent. The rate per 1,000 youths living on farms declined by 48 percent. Source: National Children's Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety
Compared with football • Every fall, 1.2 million high school students play football. • The New York Times reported that half of those players have suffered at least one concussion, and 35 percent have had more than one. • Since 1997, at least 50 high school students or younger players in more than 20 states have died or suffered serious head traumas on the field. • According to the Annual Survey of Football Injuries compiled by the University of North Carolina, 31 high school players died of heat stroke complications between 1995 and 2009.

Nebraska Cattle on Feed up 4 Percent
U.S. Cattle on Feed up 4 Percent
LINCOLN, Neb., December 16, 2011 -Nebraska feedlots, with capacities of 1,000 or more head, contained 2.56 million cattle on feed on December 1, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska Field Office. The inventory was up 4 percent from last year. This is the highest inventory for any month since the data series began in 1994. Placements in feedlots during November totaled 480,000 head, up 8 percent from 2010. Marketings of fed cattle during November totaled 375,000 head, 5 percent below last year. Other disappearance during November totaled 15,000 head, up 50 percent from 2010.
Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market in the United States for feedlots with capacity of 1,000 or more head totaled 12.1 million head on December 1, 2011. The inventory was 4 percent above December 1, 2010. This is the second highest December 1 inventory since the series began in 1996. Placements in feedlots during November totaled 2.04 million, 4 percent above 2010. Marketings of fed cattle during November totaled 1.77 million, slightly below 2010. Other disappearance totaled 102,000 during November, 65 percent above 2010.
How Many Days Can A Beef Cow Graze An Acre of Corn Stalk Residue? husk and leaf per acre on a dry matter basis and 50% of the husk and leaf are consumed, then this residue field would provide 1.5 AUM’s (1200 lb of husk and leaf on a dry matter basis per acre/816 lb of forage per month for a 1200 lb cow = 1.47 AUM’s) per acre for a 1200 lb cow or 44 days of grazing (30 days per month x 1.5 AUM’s = 44 days of grazing). If one acre would feed a 1200 lb cow for 44 days then it would feed a 600 lb calf for 88 days. Higher grain yields provide more AUM’s and lower grain yields less AUM’s. One acre of irrigated corn stalks or grain sorghum stubble will provide approximately 1.5 to 2 AUM of grazing. Source: beef.unl.edu Rick Rasby, UNL Professor of Animal Science

Previously we have discussed the many benefits that corn stalks have as winter feed and how you manage grazing of stalks can have a big effect on its success. It may be of interest to you to know how to calculate the number of days that a beef cow can graze an acre of corn stalk residue. Then you must make sure you have enough acres so your stocking level can be light enough so cattle can select just the higher quality plant parts to eat. And whenever the grain and husks are gone you can move your cows to a fresh field. Residue (leaf and husk) yield is related to grain yield, but corn hybrids obviously vary in this relationship. With high producing corn (irrigated or with ample rainfall) there will be
about 16 lb dry leaf and husk per bushel corn yield. Some residue disappears by trampling and other factors. We usually estimate 50% utilization of the leaf and husk by the grazing animal. Therefore, 150 bu of corn produces 2400 lb leaf and husk per acre on a dry matter basis and 1200 lb (50% of the total 2,400 lb) of husk and leaf on a dry matter basis are available for the animal to consume. This is equivalent to about 1.76 AUM (1200 lb of husk and leaf per acre at 50% use/680 lb of feed per AUM). One Animal Unit Month (AUM) is the amount of forage required to sustain a 1,000 pound cow or equivalent for one month and it has been determined that a 1,000 pound cow will consume 680 pounds of dry matter monthly. A 1200 lb cow is 1.2 AU and would consume 816 (680 lb x 1.2AU) pounds of forage dry matter per month. If the corn yield was 150 bu per acre and that yield produces 2400 lb of

Lean hog trade remains under some pressure as a near term sideways pattern develops ahead of Friday’s report. The weekly net change is 35 higher. Packers have worked cash bids slightly lower as the Holidays curtail slaughter runs. The pork cutout remains under pressure as export demand is questionable going forward. Pork should be improving its price competitiveness with other meats in the near term. Expectations for Friday’s pig report are for a small increase in herd size as good margins in the last quarter have encouraged producers to expand herds.

Live cattle trade moved higher on weather concerns and improved packer margins early in the week before moving into a sideways pattern. The weekly net change is 210 higher on the February contract. Cash trade is not expected to develop until Thursday or Friday after light trade last week. The Holiday schedule is limiting packer needs though. Producers are holding bids in the $122 live and $198 dressed area for now. Packers are working bids at $117 live and $190 dressed for now. Showlists are growing in the north and shrinking in the south. Packers have slowed their chain speeds and will likely remain at reduced levels through the end of the year. The cutout has rebounded some more this
week with choice up $2.74 at $191.46 and select is up $2.30 at 173.38. Boxed beef movement has picked up as packer margins rebounded into the black. Feeder cattle are 135 higher on the week as buyers look to fill empty pens. Sale barn prices have held together okay. Increased imports of feeder cattle from Mexico have been noted due to drought. Exports continue to show encouraging signs, and liberalized trade rules with Japan are coming down the pike. The cattle on feed report was negative to the front months as Placements came in at 104% vs. the expected 99%, marketings were 1% ahead of expectations at 100%, and total on feed was inline with expectations at 104%.

Medicine Valley FFA Wraps Up a Busy Semester By Madison Clark, Chapter Reporter Members of the MV FFA have been very busy this first semester. We have participated in many competitions and traveled around the state and country since school started in August. Our most recent activities included National Convention in October, our Holiday Sales fundraising in early November, the Cambridge pre-LSE competition and Livestock Selection/CDE Contest #1 in late November, and District LSE contest in early December. Seven members of the MV FFA chapter made the long trip to Indianapolis in late October. Starla Henderson, Spencer Bierfreund, Jessa Lemon and Kathryn Schick traveled from Curtis to Lincoln with advisor Tonya Mortensen. Outof-school members Sarah Cooper, Johanna Nutt and Raquel Taylor met the group there and they all took a charter bus along with members of the Ashland-Greenwood, Mead, Waverly, Holdrege and Centura FFA chapters. While in Indianapolis, members attended the opening session along with over 50,000 other FFA members, toured the Hall of States exhibits, attended the Career Fair and watched the national finals rounds for Creed Speaking and the Marketing Plan CDE. Members had a chance to find lots of great information and materials while touring the college fair area and also enjoyed the FFA Shopping Mall. Outside of convention, the group had a chapter meal at Maggiano’s Italian Eatery and attended an improvised comedy show at ComedySportz in the Mass Avenue Arts District, and went to the Beef & Boards dinner theatre show of “It’s a Wonderful Life.” On the final day of the convention, FFA members watched
Sarah, Jo and Raquel cross the stage to receive the highest honor possible in the FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree. It was a fun-filled and exciting trip. FFA members worked hard in selling our Holiday Sales items. Members in grades 7 to 12 sold fruit, potatoes, popcorn and beef jerky sticks. We are lucky to have Town & Country Market to help us with this fundraiser through Affiliated Foods. The profits from our holiday sales helps to pay for the expenses of hotel rooms, registration fees and chapter meals at State FFA Convention. Each member’s goal this year was $250 of total sales, which normally yields about $50 per member. We had a very successful year, with over $15,000 of items sold. The items were delivered to the school on Monday, December 12 and students spent the next two days sorting and organizing the delivery into gift boxes, half and quarter orders. The nice weather in the middle of the week helped students deliver items safely and was a nice change from the normal “fruit time” weather. On Monday, November 22, seven FFA members traveled to Cambridge to participate in the 2nd Annual Pre-LSE competition. This event is hosted by the Cambridge FFA to help students prepare for the District LSE contest, and get additional feedback from a variety of judges. This year, we had an incredible showing at the contest. We entered 2 members in Creed Speaking and Extemporaneous Speaking, 1 member in Jr. Public Speaking and 1 member in Job Interview. Madison Clark, Regan Garey and Shaylee Schroeder were all champions in their events, and were rewarded with a pin for their FFA jackets and a gift from the FFA store. Blake Hodson received 3rd place and Rodger Farr received 5th place in Extemporaneous Speaking. All members received good feedback from the judges to prepare for District LSEs.

EUSTIS-FARNAM FFA COMPETES AT DISTRICTS Continued from page 25 Isaac Hueftle (3rd), Matthew Blender (18th), & Dannyl Bromander (20th). The Junior Division team was made up of team members Chris Werth (12th place individual), Katie Adkisson (15th), Austin Boller (21st), Collin Thompson (25th) & Marcus Wilcox (75th). Livestock Judging is comprised of evaluating classes of 4 animals to determine which order the animals should be placed, depending upon what the animals are to be used for. There were 8 classes, plus 3 sets of questions, a keep-cull class and slaughter beef evaluations. On Wednesday December 7th, the FFA chapter returned to NCTA to compete in the District XI Creed Speaking contest and Jr. High Agricultural Quiz Bowl. Wisconsin native E.M. Tiffany wrote the FFA Creed in 1930. Freshmen learn to recite the Creed and compete for top honors at Districts. This year Collin Thompson earned a blue ribbon, while Austin Boller earned a red ribbon.
The Jr. High Agricultural Quiz Bowl is designed as a way for Jr. High students to apply general agriculture knowledge in a competitive atmosphere. Eustis-Farnam FFA had 3 teams compete and their top team placed 4th. The EustisFarnam FFA Chapter Jr. High Agricultural Quiz Bowl teams were as follows: Team #1 Dannyl Bromander, Isaac Hueftle, Mitchel Head, & Lane Baxter; Team #2: Jessica Deterding, Gage Bellamy, & Tristan Westphal; Team #3: Mason Fasse, Matthew Blender, & Austin Miller. The teams now have until State to work and prepare for competition. “I am really proud of how well our teams have done over the past couple of weeks,” said Chad Schimmels, Ag. Teacher, at Eustis-Farnam. “And we really appreciate all the work that NCTA has Front (LtoR): Chris Werth, & Katie Adkisson; done to welcome our District onto their campus Back (LtoR): Collin Thompson, Austin Boller & once again this year.” Marcus Wilcox
MEDICINE VALLEY FFA WRAPS UP A BUSY SEMESTER Continued from page 25 The district held our Livestock Selection and CDE Contest #1 (which consisted of Ag Communications and Natural Resources) on November 29. This was a busy day for many members. The Livestock Selection contest includes six classes of market/breeding livestock, one class of market evaluation and a female selection class. We had eight junior high students, 17 junior division students and seven senior division students participate. The senior team of Keith Towne, Blake Hodson, Brendan Johnsen and Dallas Petersen received fourth place and qualified for State. Individually, our top finishers were Keith Towne in 5th place, Blake Hodson in 10th place, Jacob Brennemann in 16th place and Kenzie Pyzer in 17th place.

Individually, the top junior division students were Jessa Lemon in 33rd, Tori Garza in 37th, Spencer Bierfreund in 41st and Starla Henderson in 43rd place. Junior high students were allowed to participate in the contest this year for the first time, and the MV team finished in 3rd place overall. Individual placings were Wyatt Roblee in 4th, Tate Lueth in

Rulon Taylor won the competition as an individual, while Riley Garey tied for 5th place and Darren Nutt finished in 16th place. Taylor Sandoe finished in 22nd place. The District LSE contest was held at NCTA in Curtis on December 7, 2011. We had many students compete and qualified three students for State with their public speaking. In Creed Speaking, Madison Clark was the district champion. Regan Garey, giving a speech on the Keystone XL Pipeline, was the district champion in Jr. Public Speaking. Jessa Lemon finished in second place in Jr. Public Speaking with her speech about the need for horse slaughter in the U.S. These three all qualified for State. Blake Hodson was the alternate to State by finishing in 3rd place in Extemporaneous Speaking. The Jr. Parliamentary Procedure team was also alternate to State. Team members were Tori Garza, Rachel Towne, Spencer Bierfreund, Matti Mickelsen, Rodger Farr, Brett Jones and Madison Clark. Other speakers who received blue ribbons were
Shaylee Schroeder in Job Interview, Matti Mickelsen in Creed Speaking and Rodger Farr in Extemporaneous Speaking. The Sr. Parliamentary Procedure team of Riley Garey, Jacob Brennemann, Rulon Taylor, Jaden Clark, Regan Garey and Brendan Johnsen received a red ribbon. We also had two teams in Jr. High Quiz Bowl. The 8th grade team of Jade Earhart, Tate Lueth and Allison Campbell finished tied for 9/10th place, while the 7th grade team of Brice Hodson, Logan Burke, Skyler Sandoe and Wyatt Roblee finished tied for 5/6th place and received a white ribbon. Looking ahead, the FFA members will stay busy through the early months of 2012 with practicing for CDE contests in February, preparing State Degree and Proficiency applications, and getting our students ready for State competition. We appreciate all the support we have received this semester from NCTA and the many businesses and individuals in the Curtis area, and hope to continue to build great relationships within our community for the rest of the year.
Farwell High School Student, a Future Farm Leader, to Tour Taiwan By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Eighteen-year-old Laura Gorecki of Farwell is one of three Nebraska students visiting Taiwan this week to learn more about the role of Nebraska agriculture there, along with the country's agricultural education system and agricultural industry. With Taiwan being an important trade partner with Nebraska, Gorecki said pursuing trade opportunities is important of the future success of U.S. agriculture. "Trade is what's going to stablize our markets, not only now, but for the future," she said. "When I look at my career, global markets are going to be even more important when it comes to feeding the world's growing population." The trip is sponsored by the Nebraska Farm Bureau and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Kansas City, Mo., and is coordinated by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA). Gorecki is a senior at Elba Public Schools and is involved in FFA, 4-H and the National Honor Society. Her parents are Donald and Kathryn Gorecki. This is the eighth year for the student exchange program. Each year, three students from Taiwan visit Nebraska to attend the annual Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute (NAYI), a weeklong summer program coordinated by NDA. In return, NDA chooses three NAYI delegates to travel to Taiwan. NDA Director Greg Ibach hopes the exchange program will continue, as it benefits agriculture in both countries. "Agriculture is a global industry, and it's important that our students are educated and understand the important role our trading partners, such as Taiwan, play in our state's agricultural industry," Ibach said.
The students left for Taiwan on Sunday and will return to Nebraska on Friday. While in Taiwan, the students will be staying at the Taichung Senior High School of Agriculture and Technology. Their visit will include tours of the campus, interaction with Taiwanese students, participation in presentations, visits to local farms and observations of several agricultural research institutes. They will also have the opportunity to do a little sightseeing and visit the Council of Agriculture: Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The students will later attend the 2012 NAYI, where they will share their experiences with the delegates. Joining Gorecki in Taiwan are Jennifer Keyes of Springfield and Lukas Fricke of Ulysses. Gorecki lives on a family farm where they raise corn, soybeans and wheat, and have about 100 head of Hereford/Angus cross beef cattle. As her part of the family farm operation, she said, she runs a small square bale hay business that started out as a FFA project. She also is responsible for 10 mother cows. Much of her square bale hay is sold to horse operations, along with cow calving operations. She rents the land for her haying operation from her parents. "I get to pay taxes and all," she said. Gorecki said the biggest challenge for her in running her own business has been the bookkeeping. "I found that really hard as things were coming in and out and I had to keep track of everything, along with inventory," she said. "I also learned to market my product through newspapers, but a lot of it has been through word of mouth." She also said she learned the importance of quality control with her products and making sure "the customer is always happy, especially when it comes to native grassland and keeping the quality of your product consistent."
Along with growing up on a family farm operation, Gorecki said her involvement in FFA and 4H gave her the tools and self-confidence to start her own for-profit operation. "The 4-H program introduced me to the livestock industry," she said. "I have showed cattle and hogs since I was knee-high." Also, those youth programs taught her lessons in leadership. This year, she is president of her FFA chapter. "It was a bigger responsibility than I thought it was going to be in being a good example to the rest of my chapter and being an advocate of agriculture through that," she said. Gorecki got involved with NAYI through a friend and her FFA adviser. "I have had an amazing time being involved with NAYI," she said. "They are amazing people." She hopes to attend the University of NebraskaLincoln after high school and major in animal science. Gorecki said being a spokeswoman for agriculture is important to her. "Coming from an agricultural background, it is more of a lifestyle for me," she said. "Going to conferences, such as NAYI and other things I have been to, I see the outside attacks that agriculture is getting and I don't think we are doing a good enough job promoting agriculture that way." As she adds experience to her resume, such as her trip to Taiwan, she has learned there are plenty of career opportunities in that field for young people. "If you go into agriculture, there's more than just being a farmer or rancher," she said. "For example, in Nebraska, one in three jobs is in agriculture. There is a wide spread of options available."

Southwest FFA Pool parties, contests, fundraisers, and community service projects have kept the Southwest FFA busy and involved so far in the 2011 school year. Starting with parades in two of the communities in the school district, Southwest FFA participated in the 125th Bartley Celebration and the annual Old Settlers Celebration in Indianola. FFA members ran games, created floats, and served a meal during these fun celebrations. The Red Willow County Fair also allowed the chapter to get involved in the community by assisting in the operation of the Muttin’ Bustin’ event held annually. Members were able to participate in several unique opportunities this fall by attending the Nebraska State Fair for a full day as a chapter, attend Husker Harvest Days and the McCook Farm Expo. Members not only have tried several foods on a stick, but have been able to visit and view many of the Nebraska Agribusiness from across the state. Members have been involved in contests, participating in Land Judging, Livestock Judging,
Natural Resources, Agricultural Communications, and Parlimentary Law. These competitions have been fun to attend on the campus of NCTA in Curtis, NE. Students have been impressed with all the improvements and construction on the college campus. Students were also able to attend a leadership workshop called IMPACT performed by the Nebraska State FFA officer team. Members have conducted activities to assist the community by preforming a Coat Drive and a Toy Box drive. Students have participated in a local food drive and have tried to reach out to the community for donations to the “I Believe” campaign sponsored by the Nebraska FFA Foundation. The chapter has also been awarded a NIFA Grant for this school year. A $1000 fund will be provided for the chapter to purchase and construct a grow house for starting plants in the spring. Members are excited to utilize this next semester. Southwest FFA will finish off the first semester of the school year by holding its FFA member Christmas Party and reflect on their rewarding activities.

2011 MISSOURI RIVER FLOOD - EFFECTS ON NEBRASKA Continued from page 2 the situation at Fort Calhoun, the FAA placed a temporary no fly zone within 2 miles (3.2 km) of the plant on June 7. Officials said, "There is no threat to plant employees or to the public; the plant continues to operate safely." In preparation for the flood more that 5,000 short tons (4,500,000 kg) of sand were bought in for barricades and Hesco barriers protecting facilities at the plant. The plant is 13 feet (4.0 m) above natural grade. On June 19, the river was reported 11.5 feet (3.5 m) above flood stage at Brownville. The Cooper plant sits at 903 feet (275 m) above sea level. The river hit 900.56 feet (274.49 m) on June 19 before dropping slightly to 900.4 feet (274.4 m) on June 20. At 9:47 a.m., July 12 the plant ended its emergency status because the river had dropped to 895.8 feet—3 feet lower the emergency status level. On June 23, the main levee 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Brownville bridge breached, prompting an evacuation in Atchison County, MO. On June 27, officials said 12 of 70 planned dewatering wells at Eppley Airfield in Omaha were functional. The wells pump water collecting around the airport over the levee wall back into the Missouri River. On June 29, Nebraska reported its first floodrelated death when the body of a 26-year-old fisherman was found in the river near the Little Nemaha River at Nemaha. On July 1, the flood level at Omaha hit 36.29 feet (11.06 m), higher than the 30.26 feet (9.22 m) on July 10, 1993 during the 1993 flood but lower
than the all time record of 40.2 feet (12.3 m) on April 18, 1952. On July 2, the Corps of Engineers awarded a $1.4 million contract to shore up the 9 miles (14 km) levee system around Eppley Airfield with a seepage berm to allow water to seep through the levee but hold the levee materials in place. The action came after the Corps reported there were multiple sand boils on the airport side of the levee. On July 3, Lindbergh Road which rings Eppley by the levees was closed so work could continue on 70 relief wells by the levees. On July 5, the National GeospatialIntelligence Agency reported that 265 square miles (690 km2) of Nebraska has been inundated by floods on the Missouri and the Platte River. At the same time NASA released satellite photos of the flood from the Landsat 5 showing flooding from Blair to Plattsmouth to June 30. On July 9, the Corps of Engineers said water behind the reservoirs had peaked on July 2 with only 1.5 percent left for flood storage. By July 9, the available storage increased to 3.1 percent. Officials said they planned to begin decreasing the water flowing to the Gavins Point Dam but noted that the water going into Gavins Point would fill it in 1.5 days if the reservoir were empty. On July 11, the Omaha World-Herald quoted USGS researchers who are studying unique aspects of the flood. Among their discoveries:
• the flood water which is predominately coming from behind dams is clear rather than the traditional silt that gives the Missouri its Big Muddy nickname; • the river normally flows at 4 miles (6.4 km) per hour but in the early days it was flowing at 11.6 miles (18.7 km) per hour • the river depth of the channel at Nebraska City is normally 12 to 16 feet (3.7 to 4.9 m) and, during high water, can be 25 to 30 feet (7.6 to 9.1 m) but during this event they recorded depths of 66 feet (20 m). On July 13, OPPD said it had spent $26 million in June as a result of flooding affecting its power plants on the river ($20 million in work protecting its plants and $6 million in replacing lost generating capacity). OPPD has two coal fired plants that are both larger than Fort Calhoun at Nebraska City. One of the rail lines providing coal is covered in water and the utility wants to raise that track. The plants have been getting coal via a parallel line. In Omaha, after peaking at 36.29 feet (11.06 m) on July 2, 2011, the river was still more than 3 feet (0.91 m) above the flood stage of 29 feet (8.8 m) as of August 28.

Weathering the Peaks and Valleys to Make Your Ranch Profitable Dave Pratt transferred his passion for teaching and innovative research after 15 years at California Extension Service to the Ranch Management Consultants, which has taught over 150 Ranching for Profit schools across the states and Canada. Pratt will be in Nebraska for 4 day-long workshops. Pratt will discuss characteristics of highly profitable ranch businesses. He will also help participants increase their profits and sustainability through business, finances, and people management strategies. Strategies include trimming “deadwood” or money draining enterprises from your ranch. Working in the business versus working on the business is the difference between the CEO’s job ($100/hr) and the hired man’s job ($10/hr). Techniques to improve communication at home and in your business will help keep and train employee/family members. Everyone keeps track of finances for the tax man, but what else can the numbers show you. Pratt states there are only three things a rancher can do to increase profit: 1. Decrease the overhead costs; 2.
Improve the gross margin per unit; and 3. Increase the turnover (the number of units). But only one of these three things is the most important. If high overheads are the problem, increases in production efficiency are likely to increase your work load but may not significantly increase profit. If gross margin is the problem, then decreasing overheads won’t have much effect and increasing turnover may actually help you go broke faster. It isn’t enough to know the numbers. We must now find out what the numbers mean. While businesses of all stages are welcome to attend at Valentine, Pratt will focus on ranchers starting up. All the same principles apply, but all start-up businesses, including ranches, face additional challenges that Dave will address in this workshop. Communication may also be needed as the next generation transitions onto the ranch. Want to know more about what Dave teaches? Visit Pratt’s website at www.ranchmanagement .com, to view articles or webinars. Dates and Locations (Times are Local):
• January 25, 2-8 pm, North Platte, WREC Synder Classroom. Rick Funston, UNL Beef Specialist, will also talk about heifer enterprises. • January 26, 10 am – 5 pm, Thedford, Thomas County Fairbuilding. •January 27, 10 am – 5 pm, Broken Bow, Broken Bow Country Club. •January 28, 10 am – 5 pm, Valentine, Cedar Canyon. These business and people principles will relate to everyone, but focus will be toward ranchers starting out. Sponsored by UNL Extension, Sandhills Cattle Association, Lincoln County and Nebraska Cattlemen, Security First Bank of Thedford and Valentine, the Bank of Broken Bow, and Nebraska State Bank. Registration is $50 per person ($75/couple) for the daylong workshop. To preregister for a meal count, contact Randy Saner at 308.532.2683 for North Platte, Bethany Johnston at 308.645.2267 or 1.800.657.2113 for Thedford, Troy Walz at 308.872.6831 for Broken Bow, and Jay Jenkins at 402.376.1850 or 1.800.657.2188 for Valentine

Concerns Expressed on Rising Property Taxes as Ag Land Values Soar By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent Nebraska farmers are expected to harvest more than 1.5 billion bushels of corn this year on land that is continuing to become more valuable with each harvest because of high commodity prices. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City's quarterly Survey of Agricultural Credit Conditions, released last month, Nebraska has posted the strongest gains, with irrigated and nonirrigated land values rising approximately 40 percent above year-ago levels. Record gains in the northern Plains were fueled by another bumper crop this harvest season that raised farm income expectations despite the recent slide in crop prices, according to the Federal Reserve survey. "There's an ongoing concern about property taxes, especially with land value skyrocketing," said John Hansen, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union. Farmers Union is holding its annual state convention this weekend in Grand Island. Hansen said agriculture is paying a "disproportionate share of the total cost of K-12 education." "There is always a concern about property taxes because you have had such an extraordinary good growth in the price of land because agricultural is doing so well," Gov. Dave
Heineman said at the convention. He was the luncheon speaker for the opening day Friday. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasted that net farm income would be up 28 percent at $100.9 billion for 2011, an increase of $21.8 billion from 2010. Net farm income reflects proceeds from production in the current year, regardless of whether it is sold within the calendar year. The USDA reported that the average cash corn price on Nov. 15 in Nebraska was $5.90 per bushel, up $1.44 per bushel from the previous year in November. Wheat prices were up 90 cents and soybean prices were up 40 cents. "We have seen the growth of ag land significantly more than residential property," Heineman said. "While there is a concern, the good news is that agriculture is doing well and it is being very profitable and it is being reflected in those evaluations." While the issue will more than likely be discussed during the upcoming state legislative session, which begins in January, Heineman said, "I think there will be a conversation, but let us not forget property taxes are decided at the local level. They are locally spent, locally collected and locally assessed." Heineman said, "If you want to hold the line on property taxes, that means city councils, county boards and school boards have to
tighten their belts because that is what forces higher property taxes." But with budget problems facing the state and the federal government, tax relief becomes more of a challenge, with property taxes taking on the extra burden of paying for essential public services, such as schools, roads, and public safety. With declining populations throughout most of rural Nebraska, forcing a major redistricting of Nebraska's congressional districts, Heineman said, "We have to find a balance, especially if you live in a rural community, where you are seeing more of the property tax burden shift to agriculture." While there are challenges as ag land valuations go up and more of the property tax burden falls on the shoulders of farms and ranches in rural areas, Heineman said, "I don't want valuations to do down." "Four or five years ago, farmers and ranchers used to come up to me complaining about higher valuations because city people were moving out and buying acreages," he said. "That is not occurring today. The reason valuations are going up is because of the value of that land and what it means in terms of ag profitability."

Miss Rodeo Nebraska Wraps Up Year By Heather Johnson, The North Platte Telegraph She didn't make the top 10, but she still made her home state proud. Becky Grimm, Miss Rodeo Nebraska 2011, returned home from the Miss Rodeo America Pageant in Las Vegas, Nev. on Monday. From Dec. 3-10, she and 26 other contestants were judged around the clock on their horsemanship, personality, appearance, knowledge and presentation skills. Mardee Swanson, member of the MRA national advisory council, said competition was tough. "It was really hard to pick a top 10 this year," she said. "As part of the public, I didn't get to see everything, but the judges spent a lot of time with the girls. They ate breakfast with them and rode the bus to their events. So, even though they might not have had a judging sheet in front of them, they got a good feel for what the girls were like." In the end, it was Miss Rodeo Oregon 2011 Mackenzie Carr who claimed the national title after nearly sweeping the categories. Swanson had judged the Oregon pageant this year and said she knew Carr would be hard to beat. "I'm not disappointed with the choice, but I think Becky did a great job for us out there," said Swanson. "She modeled well, and she rode well
even though she had a tough horse for the first goround." The contestants drew names to see which stock contractor-supplied horses they would ride. They weren't allowed to warm up prior to the horsemanship competition. They were required to complete a set pattern followed by a freestyle run, in which they created their own pattern based on what they thought their horses' strengths were. Grimm's first horse was hard to handle and kept fighting her when she tried to give him direction. "When she tried to get him to go right, he ducked left," said Swanson. "A lot of girls probably wouldn't have stayed on. But, that's the luck of the draw." Grimm said some of the current event and political questions asked during the personal interviews also caught her off guard. "I answered them to the best of my ability, but I wasn't completely prepared for them," she said. Being "completely prepared" is almost impossible because the sky's the limit when it comes to questions. Contestants are expected to be knowledgeable about all facets of the pageant and MRA organization, the history and rules of professional rodeo, current and past rodeo champions, social and political issues and horse feed, tack and ailments among other things. Still, Grimm said she enjoyed herself the entire week.
"Some of the other girls I traveled with all year and I have decided we're going to have 'queen' reunions," she said. Now that the pageant is over, Grimm's planning to pursue a nursing degree at MidPlains Community College in North Platte, which gave her scholarship money. "Then, I'm not really sure where life will take me," said Grimm. "What I do know is I'd like to stay connected to rodeo. I want to get back into barrel racing and some of the other activities I did before I became Miss Rodeo Nebraska." She will also assist with a rodeo queen clinic in March and the MRN pageant in June as well as coach up-and-coming queen hopefuls. Grimm will officially give up her title Jan. 21, when she crowns lady-in-waiting Sierra Peterson, MRN 2012. Asked what advice she has for Peterson, Grimm said, "Just to enjoy herself. The reign really does fly by fast, but it's such a wonderful opportunity. I met so many people and did so many things I never would have dreamed of doing otherwise. I wouldn't have traded it for the world."
Gering Steer Wrestler Dean Gorsuch Concludes His Year By Jeremy Woznick, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald Just reaching the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas once is the ultimate goal for many professional cowboys and cowgirls. While that's certainly quite an accomplishment in its own right, it's something Dean Gorsuch has now fulfilled six different times in the span of the last seven years. The two-time world champion steer wrestler from Gering just concluded another strong NFR performance that helped him finish fifth in the final world standings. Gorsuch, who entered the finals No. 1 in the world, placed in 5 of the 10 rounds to finish eighth in the average in Las Vegas. "I wish I could have done better, but I came home with close to $45,000 and there's a lot of people who would love to win that kind of money at the finals," said Gorsuch, who won his world championships in 2010 and 2006. "I just felt like I could have bulldogged a lot better. I didn't make as good of runs as I wanted to. The horses worked great. They were outstanding. I just felt like I didn't quite do what I needed to do. I'm not blaming it on the steers or anybody but myself. I dang sure felt like I should have bulldogged a little better." Gorsuch got off to a bit of a slow start in the opening two rounds of the finals. His first-round time landed him just out of the money and he followed that up with a no time in the second round. Gorsuch said his second-round performance really caused his game plan to change, which forced him to be more aggressive and take more chances.
"When that one steer got away from me in the second round, that made a big difference," he said. "The rest of the week I felt like I was trying to win every go round instead of just trying to make good runs. You win rounds when you go out there and just make good runs. When you've already missed a steer, you feel like you have to make things happen and that forces mistakes that shouldn't be made." Gorsuch did manage to bounce back strongly from that miss by placing in the money in the next three rounds in a row, including a second-place finish in the fourth round. He went on to place in two more rounds, but couldn't make up the difference against the rest of the field, specifically eventual champion Luke Branquinho. Branquinho won a record $146,779 at the finals to capture his third gold buckle. He placed in nine of the 10 rounds. "Those other guys did great," Gorsuch said. "Luke won it because he bulldogged the best. He made the best runs and that's why he walked away with the world championship. I'm happy for him." Branquinho also ended on top of the world standings with a final total of $234,518. Gorsuch finished fifth with a total of $141,857. He's now just shy of the $1 million mark in career winnings. As Gorsuch's career has rapidly progressed, so have the goals he sets for himself every year. "When I first started out as a professional, my main goal was to make the finals," Gorsuch said. "When I made the finals my first time, I told my wife that I loved making it there but then I wanted to win the world. Now my main goal every
year is to win it, but you have to make the finals first in order to get a chance to win the world." Gorsuch said the feeling of making the finals never gets old. He's qualified in six of the last seven years. The only time he didn't compete in Las Vegas during that span was in 2007 when his season was cut short due to injury. "It's such a special feeling just to be there every year because it's so tough to get there," Gorsuch said. "When you get to that place it just seems like things can go really good for you or not so good. But when you do make it, you want to win it." Gorsuch said his accomplishments wouldn't be possible if not for the support of his family and friends, in particular his wife, sons, and hazer, Del Kraupie. "Del's hazed so many steers for me. He does a great job and he bulldogs, too," Gorsuch said. "He knows me, I know him and we just work well together. He's like a brother to me. "I can't stress enough that I couldn't do this without my wife, my boys and my family. My wife is what makes this work and I can't thank her and my boys enough." As usual, Gorsuch will have little time before he begins next season's schedule in Denver in January. He said he plans to compete in around 70 rodeos next year. "I'm not ready to be away from my family, but I'm ready to get out there and run steers again," he said. "It would be nice to hit only 30 or 40 rodeos and get qualified for the finals, but that's not an easy thing to do."

Barnes Family Celebrates By Marvin Olberding for ProRodeo.com On a night that seemed to celebrate those who left the rodeo world this year almost as much as those who highlighted it, it was fitting that the 2011 PRCA Awards Banquet at the South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa in Las Vegas concluded by honoring the recently departed matriarch of one of rodeo’s most enduring families. The Contract Personnel Lifetime Achievement Award, new to the program this year, was awarded posthumously to Donita Barnes as a record crowd rose to honor the Barnes family, who came up as a group to accept the prize on her behalf. John Barnes, Donita’s son, said her most enduring quality was her positive outlook and how that influenced everyone around her. “Bareback riders and bronc riders, when they’d enter our rodeos and pay their fees, she would talk positive to them and build them up; that’s who my mother was,” John Barnes said. “She passed away on the 18th of August, and we had a rodeo that weekend. We went to that rodeo that weekend – because she told us to – and there wasn’t a contestant that weekend with a dry eye. Donita Barnes wasn’t the only recently deceased member of the rodeo family to be paid tribute on the evening. Dress Act of the Year John Payne expressed his respect for trick roper Vince Bruce, and three-award winner Keith Isley (Coors Man in the Can, Clown of the Year and Comedy Act of the Year) announced he would donate his Comedy Actwinning check to the family of pick-up man Sonny Hansen. Here is the full list of winners from the 2011 PRCA Awards Banquet: Justin Committee Person of the Year – Julie Graber, Pretty Prairie, Kan.
