Kansas officials are asking theU.S. Supreme Court to requireNebraska to meet terms of a 2003settlement decree for RepublicanRiver Compact compliance.

A press release from the KansasDepartment of Agriculture saysKansas Attorney General Steve Sixasked the U.S. Supreme CourtTuesday to enforce the Kansas v.Nebraska lawsuit settlement decreethat outlines each state's rights toRepublican Basin water.

The filing includes the longstand-ing argument that Nebraskans haveviolated the compact and failed totake actions necessary to avoidfuture violations, especially ininevitable dry periods to come.

"Nebraska has failed to live up tothe obligations under the compact,despite assurances given to theSupreme Court and our attempts toresolve this conflict through arbitra-tion," Six said. "Kansas farmers andcommunities have been deprived ofthe water they rely upon in the pastand will again under Nebraska's cur-

rent policies. My office will continuethis fight until Nebraska complieswith our agreement."

In a press statement Tuesday,Nebraska Attorney General JonBruning said, "Thanks to the hardwork of Nebraska's irrigators, thestate has been in compliance since2006. We are working with local nat-ural resources districts to ensure westay in compliance. We are preparedto vigorously defend the state."

How to Survive a Tornado

Did you know that the United Stateshas the highest incidence of tornadoes inthe world? If you are caught in a storm,be prepared with these safety and sur-vival tips.

Tornado AlleyAlthough tornadoes have occurred in

all 50 states, Tornado Alley (an area cov-ering all or parts of Arkansas, Iowa,Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota,Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas)experiences them most frequently. Infact, Oklahoma City has been hit by morethan 100 tornadoes. This is do to the coldpolar air from Canada, warm tropical airfrom Mexico, and dry air from the

Southwest clashing in the middle of thecountry. Tornadoes occur on every conti-nent but Antarctica.

Signs of Danger• A pale green sky is an indicator that

a tornado may occur. No one knows whythis is, but because tornadoes usuallyform in the afternoon, some people theo-rize that the longer red and yellow wave-lengths of afternoon sunlight turn water-heavy, blueish clouds green.

• The Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA) also advises to look outfor the following danger signs: large hail,dark, low-lying clouds, and a loud roar,similar to a freight train.

Ways to Stay Safe• A tornado watch indicates possible

tornadoes in your area. Stay tuned to theradio or television news.

• A tornado warning means that a tor-nado is on the ground or has been detect-ed by Doppler radar. Seek shelter imme-diately!

• If you are indoors, take cover in thecellar or a small space (a closet or bath-room) in the interior of your home. Stayaway from windows!

• If you are outdoors, find a field orditch away from items that can flythrough the air and lie down as flat asyou can.

• Do not stay in a car or try to driveaway from a tornado. Cars can be flungabout by high winds or crushed by debris.

• If you have evacuated, do not returnto your home until it is deemed safe to doso by local officials.

May is Beef Month in Nebraska and it’s a greattime to fire up the grill! “Many people grill allyear around, but now is the time when we see areal increased amount of grilling being done byfamilies,” said Ann Marie Bosshamer, NebraskaBeef Council Executive Director. There are somany options when cooking with beef whether itis kabobs, steaks, marinated roasts or everyone’sfavorite, the burger. With grilling season uponus, the Nebraska Beef Council encourages you tofollow these tips for perfect cooking every time.

1. Keep beef refrigerated. Grilling times arebased on beef being taken directly from therefrigerator to the grill – not at room tempera-ture. Shape burgers in advance, cover and refrig-erate until the grill is ready.

2. Trim, if necessary. Remove visible fat frommeat and poultry before grilling to help preventflare-ups and excess smoke formation.

3. Marinating mantra. Always marinate inthe refrigerator. Tender beef cuts can be marinat-ed for 15 minutes to 2 hours for flavor. Less ten-der beef cuts should be marinated at least 6hours –but no more than 24 hours– in a mixturecontaining an acidic ingredient or a natural ten-derizing enzyme. Pat beef dry after removingfrom marinade to promote even browning andprevent steaming. Do not save marinade forreuse. If a marinade has been in contact withuncooked beef, it must be brought to a full rollingboil before it can be eaten as a sauce.

4. Grilling temperature matters. Grillingover medium heat ensures even cooking and fla-vorful, juicy meat. If beef is grilled over too highheat, the exterior can become overcooked orcharred before the interior reaches the desireddoneness. Charring meat, poultry or fish is notrecommended.

5. Watch the charcoal. Never grill while thecoals are still flaming. Wait until the coals arecovered with gray ash (approximately 30 min-

utes), spread in single layer. To check cookingtemperature, cautiously hold the palm of yourhand above the coals at cooking height. Count thenumber of seconds you can hold your hand in thatposition before the heat forces you to pull it away;approximately 4 seconds for medium heat.

6. Know your gas grill. Since gas grill brandsvary greatly, consult the owner’s manual forinformation about preparing the grill for mediumheat.

7. Turn properly. Use long-handled tongs forturning steaks; spatulas for burgers. A fork willpierce the beef causing loss of flavorful juices.And don’t be tempted to press down on burgers –it only releases the juices and creates flare-ups.

8. Use a thermometer. The best way to deter-mine doneness of burgers and steaks is to use aninstant-read meat thermometer, inserted hori-zontally from the side to penetrate the center ofthe meat. Allow 10 to 15 seconds for the ther-mometer to register the internal temperature.

9. Internal temperature matters. Cookburgers to at least 160°F. The color of cookedground beef is not a reliable indicator of done-ness. Cook steaks to at least 145°F (medium raredoneness). The color will be very pink in the cen-ter and slightly brown toward the exterior.

10. Practice food safety. Keep raw meat sep-arate from other foods both in the refrigeratorand during preparation. Wash hands, all utensilsand surfaces in hot soapy water after contactwith raw meat. Never place cooked meat on plat-ters that held raw meat. Use clean serving plat-ters and utensils. Serve cooked food promptly andrefrigerate immediately after serving (within twohours after cooking).

Celebrate the great taste of beef this May andall summer long, and remember what Nebraska’sfarmers and ranchers do for our community, stateand world. For more grilling tips or questions logon to www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com.

Fire Up the Grill to Enjoy Great Tasting Beef

By Andrea Nisley, UNL Extension Educator -Family Consumer Science, Dawson County

During early spring, many gardeners are anx-iously awaiting the arrival of the postman ordelivery truck bearing carefully packed plantorders from mail-order nurseries. These orderscontain highly prized plant material, usuallybare-root and dormant.

Plants commonly sold bare-root include fruittrees, deciduous trees, small fruits, strawberriesand roses. The novice gardener might look atthese “sleeping” plants and think they’ve beencheated. “Where are the green leaves? And what’sthis hunk of root?,” they might be heard mutter-ing in dismay.

Don’t panic and send these plants back. Theseplants are definitely alive and will soon sproutleaves. Many local nurseries also carry high-quality bare-root nursery stock, but unlessthey’re geared to mail order, they only carry asmall amount.

Ideally bare root plants should be planted thesame day they arrive, but this is not always pos-sible and plants may need to be stored untilplanting conditions improve.

Careful handling before planting occurs willdetermine success or failure. Bare root plantshave had the soil washed or shaken from theirroots after digging from the field. Because bareroot plants lack a rooting media that supplieswater to the plant, they must be stored in a dor-mant state with temperatures slightly above orbelow freezing, and high (95 percent) humiditylevels. However, do not allow them to freeze.

When bare root plants are shipped from a nurs-ery their roots are usually wrapped in dampsphagnum moss or newspaper. The plants arethen placed in a plastic bag and packaged in awax-coated or cardboard box.

After receiving the plants, inspect them brieflyto ensure they are healthy and undamaged, andthat the packing material is still moist. Re-wet

the packing material if necessary, and then storethe plants in their packaged state, under coldtemperatures until they can be planted.

Bare root plants must be planted in earlyspring, before the buds begin to swell. To mini-mize stress on the plants, try to plant on a calmor cloudy day, and keep the plants moist duringthe planting process. It is helpful to re-hydratethe plants by soaking them in a bucket of waterfor a couple hours before planting, but don’t storethe plants with their roots in water overnight.

Bare-root plants perform best when their foodreserves have not been depleted. You can helpthem maintain optimum food reserves by makingsure the root systems are healthy. A sharp knifeor pruning shears should be used to remove anybroken or twisted roots. Make clean cuts anddon’t remove more root than necessary.

Stay in this conservative mode when pruningthe top of your bare-root plant material at plant-ing time, too. Remove only broken, dying or deadplant tissue.

During planting, it is extremely important toavoid the exposure of roots to air any longer thannecessary, so keep the plants in a bucket of wateras you take them out to the planting area.

Prepare a planting hole for each plant that iswide and shallow. Create a mound of soil in thecenter of each hole. Place a plant on top of themound and drape the roots evenly around eachside. Don’t bend or force the roots to fit in theplanting hole, instead dig the hole wider if neces-sary. Each plant should have its first roots justbelow the soil line- not showing above the soil, orseveral inches below the soil surface. Gently firmthe soil around each seedling after planting toremove air pockets. Water each new plant as it isplanted- do not wait until the entire planting isfinished to begin.

Finally, apply a two inch layer of mulch aroundthe base of the new plants to conserve soil mois-ture, moderate soil temperature fluctuations andprovide weed control.

Care for Bare Root Plants Can Be Easy

D o n ’ t B a n k O n I t ( B e s t O f )by Lee Pitts

With all the consolidating, downsizingand bankrupting going on banks are elimi-nating all sorts of services such as tellersand interest on savings accounts. But as faras I know, you can’t get your loan approvedat the ATM yet. Unfortunately, your bankeris still going to want to meet you face toface to check on your fiscal health.

I thought I’d pass along my expansiveknowledge on this subject by giving yousome tips:

• Dress for success not excess. If you showup looking too prosperous your banker willassume you are misappropriating his fundsand will “vocationally relocate” you. Inother words, he’ll put you out of business.It’s best to wear a simple shirt, work bootsand your darkest blue pair of jeans, that isif you haven’t already had to sell yourripped Levi 501’s or Wranglers to somefashion conscience teenager to pay overduebank charges.

• Should you be on time or fashionablylate? If you are punctual he’ll assume youare “personnel surplused.” But if you arelate your banker will be mad for makinghim late for lunch. Knowing how he likes toeat plan on arriving two hours early.

• Avoid the hand off. Sure you are uncom-fortable with your banker sitting there asaloof as a mountain goat, but this is betterthan being handed off to his administrativeassistant. That’s a sure sign your “loanpackage” has been “displaced.”

• Body language is critical. If possible,

touch your banker in a non-threateningway. A caress to the elbow or a light handon the shoulder has a calming effect. Butdon’t invade his considerable personalspace with a choke hold to the neck.

• Sharpen your communication skills.Drop important names, mention manage-ment books you plan to read and use bigwords like “transaction” instead of “black-mail. ” Doesn’t “professional fees” soundmuch better than “extortion?”

• Don’t be defensive. Your lending agentis going to bring up your past lendingrecord that probably resembles the bank’swallpaper: an ugly repetitive pattern. He’llrefer to your “performance indicators” and“past lending practices.” Assure yourbanker that your performance is for realthis time... no more practice.

• Don’t talk a lot. You won’t have toexplain something you never said. Whenyour banker talks about “break-even ratios”and when you might be able to pay a littleon the principle try not to laugh out loud.Do not sweat or cry on the paper workeither.

• Banker’s love “business plans.” Tell himyou are “reallocating resources” and diver-sifying by selling cow chips as an alterna-tive fuel source. Mention that you will har-vest some valuable grain this year. (Don’ttell him your yield will be measured incereal bowls per acre.) Be optimistic. Inprojecting a break-even assume your sowswill have 30 pigs per litter and mention

that you are developing a cow herd that willcalve only every other year so you’ll onlylose half as much money on your calf crops.

• Tell your “partner in progress” that youare reducing frivolous expenditures such asyour wife’s chiropractor and exorbitanthourly interest charges on bank creditcards. He should be glad to hear that youare consolidating all your debt with hisbank.

• The days when you can satisfy yourbanker with numbers on a matchbook coverare gone. Instead, buy a computer so whenthe banker asks for the numbers you canuse the same excuse the bank alwaysuses... “Sorry, but my computer is down.”

• Don’t drink alcohol before your meeting.Remember, this is a person with the powerto force you into early retirement or to“involuntary separate” you from your job ata time when the whole world is in a “workforce correction.”

• Assume nothing. Just because thebanker’s daughter is your wife doesn’tmean he’ll help the two of you realize yourfull potential by approving your loan.

Dear Fellow Nebraskans:I was joined this week by University of Nebraska

President James B. Milliken in a recruitment visitthat was part of the 2010 BIO InternationalConvention held in Chicago.

A growing segment of our economy consists of spe-cialized companies in the biosciences field. Theseare the high tech, research-driven fields producingbiofuels, pharmaceuticals and vaccines for humansand animals, robotics, and testing equipment usedin research labs around the world.

This trade show is the world’s largest biotechgathering, highlighting new innovations, emergingbiotech companies and the work of leading researchinstitutions from across the United States andaround the world. Being part of this event was anopportunity to meet with companies who haveinvestments in our state and highlight Nebraska’sstrengths in bioscience to an international audi-ence.

A study released at the trade show said employ-ment in Nebraska’s bioscience sector has grown by19.2 percent, which outpaced national bioscienceemployment gains of 15.8 percent between 2001 and

2008. The study noted that Nebraska’s bioscienceindustry paid wages that were 50 percent higherlast year than the average annual wages in the pri-vate sector.

The BIO International Trade Show event was anopportunity to highlight Nebraska’s investments inbiotech and expand our business recruitmentefforts in a field where companies are heavilyinvested in research and the latest innovations. Ourdelegation was coordinated by the Bio NebraskaLife Sciences Association. Bio Nebraska bringstogether leaders from private sector companies andthe Nebraska Department of EconomicDevelopment together with Nebraska’s academicand research institutions.

This collaborative relationship is reflected in therecipients honored in recent weeks by Bio Nebraskawith the 2010 Governor’s Award for Bioscience. Theaward is presented in honor of a partnership thatbrought leaders in research and academia togetherwith the business community for a project that hasbeen remarkably successful in advancing scientificdiscoveries and creating jobs here in Nebraska.

This year’s honorees were two individuals who

lead a joint team of business and universityresearchers working to develop genetics researchtools. The result of the collaboration was among theworld’s first automated DNA sequencing systems,which was then licensed and developed as a productfor the commercial testing and research market.

More than 20 years later, the work of thoseinvolved in the project is now a full line of testingand analysis equipment used in DNA research inmore than 30,000 labs around the world and hascreated 130 technology-specific jobs in Lincoln.

Strong relationships are essential and the work ofthe 2010 Governor’s Award for Bioscience recipientsembodied both the collaboration and the innovationBio Nebraska sought to honor in creating thisaward.

As we work to recruit new investments and newcompanies looking to expand in science-based sec-tors, the achievements of the scientists andresearchers already at work in Nebraska are anexcellent example of the potential that exists in ourstate.

At its most fundamental level, the duty ofCongress is to steward the government's revenue.Lately, all it's been doing is spending it. To shoul-der this responsibility appropriately, annuallyCongress drafts a budget, establishing a fiscalblueprint for government to follow on spendingdecisions.

Our nation faces enormous and unheard offinancial challenges. Every penny of debt accumu-lated must be paid by our children and grandchil-dren, but it is not too late to change the course ofour fiscal fate.

President Obama’s budget proposed for fiscalyear 2011 clocked in at an amazing $3.8 trillion. Ifpassed, this budget would increase spending byrecord levels, sending our nation’s deficits danger-ously high and - if implemented - would still raisetaxes. His budget proposal also would add $14trillion to our nation’s debt over the next ten years.

As distressing as those numbers sound, creditshould be given to the Administration for at leastsubmitting a budget to Congress. The deadline forthe House of Representatives to pass an actualbudget has come and passed without even so muchas a committee vote.

Indeed, there have been indications the House

may not consider a budget resolution this year atall, an unprecedented development. In fact, theHouse of Representatives always has passed abudget resolution since the current rules whichgovern the modern congressional budgetingprocess were put into place in 1974. The budget isthen used to set spending parameters for theappropriations process. Without a budget, the onlyspending rule is there are no rules.

Having served on the House Budget Committee,I know the process can be frustrating and arduousfor both Republicans and Democrats, but that is noexcuse for a lack of leadership. Families, business-es, organizations big and small, even cities andstates have had to face the harsh realities of astruggling economy and financially difficult times;Congress must do the same.

Regardless of the differences I have with severalof my colleagues on spending, taxation, and debt,there can be no doubt this is a debate we need tohave.

Our nation’s long-term fiscal outlook is unsus-tainable and our economy continues to face seriouschallenges on the road to recovery. Small busi-nesses and entrepreneurs need certainty for accessto capital and long-range planning. The longer

Congress waits to deal with the fiscal challengesfacing our nation, the greater harm will come toour economy.

Small businesses are struggling to comprehendexactly what the impact of the recently-passedhealth care legislation will be, and several compa-nies have already stated it will hurt their bottomline. Congress is still failing to meet promises ofenergy independence by not adopting an “all of theabove” approach to energy development. SincePresident Obama signed the stimulus bill into law,more than 2 million Americans have lost their jobsand the unemployment rate has soared to nearly10 percent.

Unless we rein-in the size and scope of the feder-al government and focus on true economic reformand job growth, our country will face the problemswhich come with an uncertain economy.

I am committed to commonsense approaches tothe problems plaguing our nation, but scatteredand haphazard gimmicks billed as fixes, such asthe stimulus and various bailouts, are not the wayto go. We need a practical, workable federal budg-et which limits spending and puts our fiscal houseback in order.

Cutting Spending To Lower Debt is in Our Futureby Senator Mike Johanns

When the topic of the public debt comes up,many are quick to blame the budget deficits on theprevious Administration. While there is plenty ofshared responsibility, this response fails toacknowledge the true problem of our nationaldebt, nor does it justify our current astronomicaland unsustainable rate of federal spending.

In 2008, our public debt totaled $5.8 trillion.Another way to consider this: from the birth of ournation until less than two years ago, our govern-ment spent $5.8 trillion more than it collected.Astonishingly, President Obama's budgets are pro-jected to more than double that amount - to $12.3trillion by 2013. In other words, the President inone term is set to more than double the amount ofdebt accrued by every President from GeorgeWashington to George W. Bush. By 2019, the debtis projected to triple.

These are truly uncharted waters for our coun-try, and simply blaming others does not hide ourserious financial situation that will require toughdecisions and bold leadership. Unfortunately, lead-ers in Congress and the Administration have been

evading this responsibility and have only enabledthe burden to grow heavier. When Congresspassed a provision last February requiring all pro-posed additional non-emergency spending to bepaid for up front, there was widespread applauseand pats on the back. Yet in the three short monthssince the passage of PAYGO law (Pay As You Go),Congress has conveniently waived the require-ments three times instead of adhering to fiscal dis-cipline. As a result, billions of dollars were addedto our national debt.

Even small efforts to rein in spending have runinto roadblocks. For example, Congress tradition-ally passes an annual budget resolution as a fiscalroadmap for our country. However, progress isstalled for next year's budget because agreementsto cut just $8-10 billion in spending - less than one-third of one percent of the budget - are proving elu-sive. Our country is literally on an unsustainablespending trajectory and yet even the smallest cutscannot be agreed upon.

It would be foolish to think we can continueaccruing debt while escaping consequences. Just

this week, the European Union, with seemingly noother viable options, was forced to fund a bailoutfor Greece, whose debt has grown to 115 percent ofits Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Our debt is cur-rently 60 percent of our GDP, and under thePresident's proposed budget is projected toincrease to 90 percent in the next decade. Shouldour country's circumstances become as dire asGreece's, there would be no bailout. We would bein serious trouble.

No one knows the importance of acting now bet-ter than our country's leading economic officials.Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner recently toldCongress, "We're living with unsustainabledeficits;" and Federal Reserve Chairman BenBernanke stressed the solution is "not somethingthat is ten years away" and that it's "very, veryimportant" for the government to "bring itself backto a sustainable position." I agree completely, andwill continue looking for ways to work with my col-leagues to lower spending and rein in our nationaldebt. Congress must confront our bloated debt, orfuture generations will face the consequences.

Since it was introduced, this nation's beefquality assurance program has measurablyimproved safety, helped reduce chemicalresidues in beef and given producers new mod-els for quality production.

When the program started in the early '80s,1 to 2 percent of beef had chemical residues ofsome kind. The most recent U.S. Departmentof Agriculture tests conducted in 2008 showchemical residues down to .00007 percent inbeef cattle, said Dee Griffin, University ofNebraska-Lincoln feedlot veterinarian.

"It is now clear that educational efforts byCooperative Extension and the beef industryover the last 10 to 15 years has paid off inmeasurable reductions in chemical residues inmeat," said Dave Smith, UNL dairy/beef vet-erinarian.

In the BQA program, federal governmentagencies supply regulations and data, whileCooperative Extension at land-grant institu-tions and commodity groups help with dissem-ination and education. The intended result isthat producers lead quality initiatives thatbenefit their customers.

The BQA mission is to maximize consumerconfidence in and acceptance of beef by focus-ing the producer's attention to daily produc-tion practices that influence the safety, whole-someness and quality of beef and beef prod-ucts through the use of science, research andeducation initiatives.

"Much of the UNL Extension mission of beefeducation comes from the producer-led educa-tional programs of the beef quality assuranceprogram. These programs are then carried outby producers and also work with the commod-ity groups," Smith said.

For example, as Smith promotes a programto improve the health of cattle or the safety ofbeef, his work also supports the BQA program.

In addition to residues showing up in food,the program also addresses other issues, suchas tenderness, biological hazards, food safetyand how cattle are handled.

Quality assurance programs for all livestockwere driven by the USDA's Food Safety andInspection Service for residue control.

This effort stemmed from a high percentageof vegetables with chemical residues in the1980s. In addition to beef containing 1 to 2percent chemical residue, 4 percent of porkalso had chemical residues of some kind.

With 33 to 35 million head of cattle in theUnited States, 8 million of those in Nebraska,1 to 2 percent of beef with chemical residuewas unacceptable, Griffin said.

The FSIS, with the organization ofCooperative Extension at the nation's univer-sities, along with commodity groups and oth-ers led the effort to fix the problem.

Within two years, those involved knewwhere the chemical residues were comingfrom: antibiotics.

Griffin said they found out that producerswere giving the correct dose of antibiotics, butat maximum amounts. Amounts were reduced

and producers also started following with-drawal periods that ensure antibiotics are notin the animals' system when they areprocessed for food.

"Once we learned that, we had to teach it toeveryone across the world," Griffin said. "TheCooperative Extension service became a wayto get it out."

In addition, veterinarians, producers andothers came up with a very simple six-pointsystem that not only dealt with antibiotics,but anything that could potentially cause adefect. This program is followed in 47 states.

These six points:• make sure animals are in perfect health

and don't get sick;• make sure feed is clean and not contami-

nated;• make sure products used on cattle, such as

antibiotics or vaccines, are administered prop-erly;

• concentrate on animals that need specialcare, such as those that are sick;

• have sick animals evaluated by a nutri-tionist or veterinarian, following the properwithdrawal time on antibiotics;

• keep accurate records.USDA tests all cattle, pigs, chickens, milk,

eggs, ducks and other animals randomly for abroad spectrum or environmental contami-nants like lead, Griffin said. In other meats,like pork and chicken, the residue percentageis zero.

"If you eat a pork chop or eat at KFC, youwill never bite into any residue of any kind,"Griffin said. "And we aren't done (with thebeef industry) as the only acceptable numberis all zeroes."

Griffin said it is important that the public iseducated about agriculture. In 1950, 30 per-cent of Americans were directly involved inagriculture. Today that number is fewer than2 percent.

Ultimately, the BQA program is based on theethics, principles and practices of individualproducers.

"We need to make sure everything we do pro-duces a safe and wholesome product the wayMother Nature intended it to be," Griffin said.

Beef Quality Assurance Assures Beef Safety

For the first time in its four-year history, theNebraska Beef Industry Scholars program at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln has freshmen,sophomore, junior and senior members.

The program, which has about 50 members,delivers intensive training about all aspects of thebeef industry, said Matt Spangler, assistant pro-fessor in the Department of Animal Science in theCollege of Agricultural Sciences and NaturalResources.

The first students to enter the program are nowseniors, said Spangler, who coordinates the pro-gram. No other university has a similar program,in which students are taught by not only UNL fac-ulty members but by representatives of the beefindustry.

"The beef industry is extremely important in thestate of Nebraska," Spangler said, noting thatabout 55 percent of the state's agriculturalreceipts are from beef. "It's just natural an under-graduate program like this exists at UNL."

All students entering a degree program inCASNR are eligible to apply for the scholars pro-gram. Of those in the program, five are seniors.Not all are animal science majors. Other degreeprograms represented include agricultural eco-nomics and agricultural leadership, education andcommunication.

Students in the program are required to takecourses created specifically for the scholars pro-gram in addition to their regular degree programcoursework, Spangler said. The courses focus onall aspects of the beef industry and provide stu-dents opportunities to meet up to 20 experts in theindustry each year.

Those industry representatives, from agricultur-al-related companies as well as organizations likethe Nebraska Cattlemen, do not get paid for theirteaching, Spangler said. They are offered reim-bursements for travel expenses, but many decline.

"The beef industry sees this as an opportunity tohelp educate their replacements," Spangler said."Because of that, we've had tremendous industrysupport."

The goal of the program is to better equip thesestudents for work in the beef industry. Manyindustry representatives specifically ask forinternship applications from participants in theprogram, Spangler said.

The seniors in the program traveled to SanAntonio in January for the National CattlemensBeef Association National meeting, where theyparticipated in discussions on beef policy.

One of those seniors was Alex Wolf, an agricul-tural economics major from Albion who grew upworking on his family's ranch and feedlot.Participation in the scholars program has helpedhim learn a lot about current issues in the indus-try, he said.

"It gives me a greater knowledge and apprecia-tion of the cattle industry and helped me develop alot of contacts in the beef industry," Wolfe said.

July 10 Dec. 10Support: 356 373Resistance 396 409

Corn trade has been higher in active trade this weekfollowing the lightly supportive USDA report and contin-ued rumors of Chinese export activity. After three days oftrade, the weekly net change is 6 higher on both the Julyand December contracts. The USDA supply and demandreport has been the focus this week, but the weather andcrop development should continue to dictate trade long-term. On the monthly USDA Supply and Demand report,the old crop carryover was only 1.738 versus the averagetrade guess of 1.853; this was near the low side estimate.The new crop carryover was then smaller than expectedat 1.818 versus the 1.884 average trade guess. The newcrop yield was actually slightly higher than expectedcoming in at 163.5 bushels per acre and we used the 88.8million acre planted number. The trade will talk abouthalf to one million more acres of corn to be planted and ayield that could stretch up to 170. But this will take goodweather and time, so for now the report suggests a rangebound market. The USDA jumped the export number by50 million and ethanol usage number by 100 million giv-ing the larger than expected drop in the carryover. TheUSDA is using about a 2% increase in usage for the newcrop balance sheet versus the old. The world balancesheets were negative with old crop carryover up by 3 mil-lion tons to 147 million tons and new crop carryover is upto 154.21 million metric tons. The weekly export salestotals were great again coming in at 1.85 million tons ofold crop which was well above expectations; new cropsales were minimal at 30,400 tons. China was a listedbuyer of two cargoes while Japan was the major buyer ofabout 12 cargos – nearly 700,000 tons. The weeklyprogress report listed corn plantings at 81% completeversus 46% last year and the 62% 5-year average.Emergence was listed at 39% versus the 21% 5-yearaverage. Weather will continue to influence the trade butplanting conditions remain mostly ideal; temperatureswere colder over the weekend but warming temperaturesare expected near-term. Hedgers call with questions.

Chicago K City MinneapolisSupport: 473 493 514Resistance 524 532 551

Wheat trade has been lower this week due to longprofit taking. After three days of trade, the weekly netchanges are 19 lower in Chicago, KC is down 14, andMinneapolis is down 11 on the July contracts. TheUSDA report on Tuesday confirmed the bearish funda-mentals which have been noted for the weakness. Thedomestic carryover numbers were steady at 950 millionbushels on old crop and new crop 2010-11 was at 997million bushels versus the average trade guess of 961million. So the first new crop balance sheet is at a 47%stocks to usage ratio and that is using a usage figureabout 70 million greater than 2009-10. The Globalwheat carryover was up by about 1 million tons on theold crop balance sheet to 196.7 million tons and the2010-11 world carryover estimate was at 198 milliontons. The weekly winter wheat condition report onMonday showed good to excellent ratings down 2% fromlast week at 66%. The spring wheat plantings were list-ed at 67% versus the 66% 5-year average. Winter wheatwas listed as 40% headed versus the 43% 5-year aver-age. The weekly export sales were at 150,200 tons of oldcrop and 134,100 tons of new which combined were atthe low end of expectations.

July 2010 Wheat (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has been higher this week due to lightprofit taking by market shorts and spillover support fromthe corn market. Heading into Thursday, the weekly netchange is 5 higher on the July contract and is up 3. Mealis $1.30 higher and oil is steady on the week. The sell-offlast week priced in some of the negative items so the reac-tion to the report was less negative than expected. TheUSDA old crop carryover was unchanged from the Aprilnumber at 190 million bushels versus the average tradeguess down at 182 million. The new crop carryover was at365 million versus the 338 average trade guess. The USDAused a 42.9 trend line number versus the 44 bushels peracre seen last year. The trade should be thinking we couldsee 300k to 750k more acres of beans and the yield numberis fair for now. The USDA backed off new crop demand byover 150 million bushels versus 2009-10. Global carryoveritems grew with the old crop carryover up by just under 1million tons to 63.8 million tons and the initial 2010-11 car-ryover is up at 66.1 million tons. Last year the carryoverwas only at 43 million metric tons. The weekly soybeanexport sales numbers were at 283,200 tons of old crop and209,100 tons of new; China was the major buyer of bothnew and old crop. The recent great demand for nearbytrade should start backing off as the South American har-vest is nearly complete. China has likely done most of thebig buying for the near term; they will keep buying for newcrop, but may not get aggressive unless their domestic pro-tein oil production has any problems. Weekly meal saleswere good at 137,800 tons of old crop and 300 tons of new.Bean oil sales were within expectations at 10,300 tons. Onthe weekly progress report Monday afternoon, the soybeanplantings were listed at 30% complete versus the 19% 5-year average. We do still have a long year ahead, but wemay need weather to promote trade above $10.

NEBRASKAland DAYS was first conceived in1965 as a statewide celebration with two primaryobjectives, first to promote tourism and secondlyto commemorate our great heritage and pay trib-ute to the people that paved the way for theNebraskaland of today. The first celebrations,held in Lincoln, Nebraska, lasted only four daysand included only a limited number of events withan annual budget of approximately $50,000.

In 1968, NEBRASKAland DAYS came to its per-manent home in North Platte and has since

expanded to a major tourist attraction with over80 events, including four performances of profes-sional rodeo, two or more concerts, a westernmusical theater production, professional and com-petitive art shows, parades, feeds, a heritage fes-tival, competitive sporting events and a host ofother special events. Many events are targeted tospecific audiences like seniors, youth, or families.The annual June celebration now lasts nearly twoweeks operating on an annual budget approaching$1,000,000.

As "Nebraska's official celebration,"NEBRASKAland DAYS continues to successfullyaccomplish many of its primary goals. Even asearly as the mid-to-late 1960's, the value oftourism as an economic product was recognized.However, as our economy continues to evolvebeyond industrial genres of economic output, thevalue of tourism and specifically NEBRASKAlandDAYS assumes a greater significance in the over-all role of our economy.

You don’t have to be a commodities expert to protectyourself against an unpredictable livestock market.

Just call The Home Agency for an LRP quote. There is no minimum number of head. This program is for the small

and large producer. Ask for Arlyn Rieker, Jim Baldonado or JeriSchultheiss at the Elwood office, Dan Tinlin or Steve Johnson at

the Gothenburg office, or Chip Bullock at the Cozad office.

We’d like to show you how Companion Hail policies cover the top part of your crop and CRC

or RA take care of the bottom. There’s no need to cover the bottom again.

Give The Home Agency a call for some rates. We have 4 companies to choose from and depending

on your legals, some companies may be $2-$3 cheaper per $100 of coverage.

USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service(NASS) is surveying thousands of farmers acrossNebraska to get a clearer indication of the produc-tion and supply of major commodities for 2010.

“With the 2010 growing season now in fullswing, we can start to get a more complete pictureof how things are shaping up for the agriculturalsector. We?ll be looking at what crops have beenplanted, what commodities are in storage and howmuch livestock is in inventory,” said Joe Parsons,Director of the NASS Nebraska Field Office.

Parsons explained that NASS will gather thisinformation through two major mid-year surveys:the June Area Survey and the June AgriculturalSurvey.

“For the area survey, we visit randomly selectedtracts of land and interview the operators of anyfarm or ranch on that land. We collect information

on crop acreage – including biotech crops, as wellas grain stocks, livestock inventory, cash rents,land values, and value of sales,” he said.

“For the agricultural survey, which we also callthe crop/stocks survey, we contact producers bymail, phone or personal visit. We ask them to pro-vide information on their total acreage, acresplanted to specific commodities – includingbiotech varieties, and quantities of grains andoilseeds stored on-farm.” This information will bea critical component of several key nationalreports, including the annual Acreage report andthe quarterly Grain Stocks report, both to bereleased on June 30. Survey data also contributeto NASS’s monthly and annual Crop Productionreports and various other crop and livestock-relat-ed publications, all of which are available onlineat www.nass.usda.gov.

“Especially in these uncertain economic times,farmers and the rest of the agricultural industryneed timely, accurate data on the current state ofU.S. agriculture,” Parsons said. “The informationcollected through our mid-year surveys can helpproducers, suppliers, traders, buyers, export cus-tomers and others to make sound and informedbusiness decisions.”

As is the case with all NASS surveys, informa-tion provided by respondents is protected by law.NASS safeguards the confidentiality of allresponses, ensuring that no individual produceror operation can be identified. All reports areavailable on the NASS web site:www.nass.usda.gov. For more information, call theNASS Nebraska Field Office at (800) 582-6443.

USDA June Surveys to Provide Vital Data on 2010 Farm Production

Musk Thistle – Favorable rains last fall andagain this spring have created the right condi-tions for lots of thistles this spring.

The rosette stage of growth is ideal for control-ling musk thistle plants this spring. That meansyou should apply herbicides soon, while the plantsare in the rosette stage, prior to bolting.

Several herbicides are effective and recommend-ed for musk thistle control. One of the most effec-tive is Tordon 22K®, but be careful with Tordonsince it can also kill woody plants, including treesand shrubs. Milestone® also does an excellent jobof controlling musk thistle. Both Milestone andTordon will help control other weeds that usuallyappear later in the season.

Dow Agrosciences has two relatively new herbi-cides, ForeFront® R&P and Chaparral®, that doan excellent job of controlling all the thistles andmany other broadleaf weeds. Chaparral® will alsodo an excellent job of controlling buckbrush/snow-berry. The active ingredients in ForeFront® R&Pare [aminopyralid (0.33 lb/gal) + 2,4-D amine (2.67

lb/gal)]. The active ingredients in Chaparral® are[aminopyralid (52.5% ae) + metsulfuron (9.45%)].Aminopyralid is the active ingredient inMilestone® and metsulfuron is the active ingredi-ent in Ally® (DuPont).

2,4-D also works very well, but you will get bet-ter thistle control by using a combination of 2,4-Dand dicamba (Banvel). Other herbicides labeledfor controlling musk thistles in pastures include;Redeem®, Grazon®, Cimarron®, Ally® andCurtail®. Always be sure to read and follow labelinstructions, and treat at the proper time.

All these herbicides will work for you this springif you spray before musk thistles bolt and send upflowering stalks. After flowering, the shovel isabout the only method remaining to control this-tles this year.

Eastern Redcedar Trees – continue to explode inmany area pastures. These trees reduce forageproduction, make animal handling difficult, andencourage pastures to shift from warm-season tocool-season grasses.

Cedars can be controlled with herbicides, by cut-ting, or fire. By far the least expensive, when itcan be used safely, is fire. The effectiveness of firedeclines, however, as trees get large. Herbicides

like Tordon 22K® and Velpar® applied directly tothe soil beneath the tree work very well, butthey’re time consuming to apply and more expen-sive. While cutting can be cheaper, it is even moretime consuming, especially if cut trees need to beremoved.

Recent research in Nebraska has shown that acombination of control measures can combine thestrengths of each method while overcoming mostdisadvantages.

For best results, a prescribed fire is needed tokill many smaller trees and to weaken or improveaccessibility to larger trees. It also can be usedperiodically, maybe every four to eight years, toeliminate new infestations.

After the prescribed burn, it usually is best towait a year before using herbicides or cutting tocomplete the job because some trees that appearto survive the fire will eventually die.

For more information on cedar control, contactyour local extension office or visit the UNLExtension Publications Web site at http://exten-sion.unl.edu/publications.

The farmer-leaders of the United SoybeanBoard (USB) and soybean checkoff take pride insupporting their partners in the U.S. poultry andlivestock industries, particularly during themonth of May for Beef and Egg Month. This part-nership not only helps provide the world with asafe, affordable and abundant food supply butalso generates benefits for our economy, includ-ing creating jobs throughout the country.

U.S. animal agriculture represents the singlelargest user of U.S. soybeans, consuming nearly98 percent of the domestic supply of U.S. soybeanmeal. The checkoff supports the long-term inter-ests of U.S. poultry and livestock producers inorder to improve the stability and success of theU.S. soybean industry.

The checkoff-funded Nationwide EconomicImpact of Animal Agriculture study shows theeconomic value of animal agriculture to commu-nities. Figures from the most recent analysisshow the U.S. animal agriculture industry direct-ly employs nearly 230,000 Americans. Other keyfindings of the recently completed study include:

• U.S. poultry and livestock producers spentover $100 billion on supplies and services thatsupport local jobs.

• Every animal agriculture job supports morethan 11 jobs somewhere else in our economy.

• The overwhelming majority of animal agri-culture jobs cannot be easily exported overseas.

• Finally, U.S. animal agriculture paid over$10 billion in income and sales taxes and morethan $6 billion in property taxes.

“Small-town communities rely heavily on localpoultry and livestock operations,” said ChuckMyers, a checkoff farmer-leader from Lyons,Neb., and a member of the USB Domestic

Marketing program. “Animal producers supportother local producers, manufacturers and serviceproviders, whether it’s soybean and corn farmersor the local markets that sell the meat, to trans-portation companies to veterinarians. It all feedsoff itself and creates a lot of opportunitiesthroughout the community.”

According to checkoff-funded research con-tained in the latest edition of the USB MarketView Database, poultry alone consumed over 15million tons of soybean meal, or the equivalent ofmore than 500 million bushels of soybeans. Beefcattle consumed over 3.9 million tons of soybeanmeal, which equates to over 130 million bushelsof soybeans, according to the most recent data.

“With all of the pressures animal producerscurrently face, it is now more important thanever to support them,” Myers said. “As a U.S. soy-bean farmer, I would much rather feed our prod-uct to animals here at home and then export themeat, which contributes to the world food supplyand adds value to our soybeans. We definitelywant to help make sure the U.S. animal ag indus-try can stay here. The closer our animal opera-tions are to our farms, the more profitable we areas soybean producers.”

USB is made up of 68 farmer-directors whooversee the investments of the soybean checkoffon behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. Checkofffunds are invested in the areas of animal utiliza-tion, human utilization, industrial utilization,industry relations, market access and supply. Asstipulated in the Soybean Promotion, Researchand Consumer Information Act, USDA’sAgricultural Marketing Service has oversightresponsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff.

During a luncheon this week with egg producers,Governor Dave Heineman presented a proclama-tion to William Claybaugh, President of theNebraska Egg Council, declaring “May Is EggMonth” in Nebraska.

“The egg industry continues to play an essentialrole in Nebraska’s economy,” said GovernorHeineman. “I’m pleased to proclaim “May as EggMonth” in Nebraska as a way to recognize theimportance of the egg industry to our state.”

Nebraska’s commercial laying hen population ofapproximately 9.5 million birds produces over 2billion eggs annually. Nebraska currently ranksninth nationally in total egg production, and isalso a national leader in the production of furtherprocessed egg products.

May DeclaredEgg Month in NE


By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

Tuesday's field hearing for the U.S. House ofRepresentatives Agriculture Committee followeda familiar formula, until near the end, whenNebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (Dist. 1), askedabout the ag industry's future.

"The average age of Nebraska farmers is 58years," said Fortenberry. He noted that this couldbe an emerging opportunity for young farmers andentrepreneurs to get involved.

Fortenberry, who is also the ranking member ofthe Subcommittee on Forestry, asked members ofthe panel testifying on ag issues what they believelies ahead for their industry.

Dennis Sun, Wyoming rancher and publisher ofthe Wyoming Livestock Roundup, said there willalways be opportunities in this world with mil-lions of people who need to be fed. He noted thatsmall things, such as winning legal battles withenvironmentalists, add up to opportunities, andthat the rich and famous buy ranches in Colorado,Montana and Wyoming.

"We have what they want," he concluded. "It's atough go, but there are opportunities."

John Snyder, president of the Washakie BeetGrowers Association at Worland, Wyo., said his23-year-old son has joined the family operation,

making three genera-tions to live on the land.

He cited the sustain-ability of farm life asone reason for his son'sreturn to the farm afterreceiving a college edu-cation and turningdown other jobs.

According to Snyder,the sugar policy and existing farm bill havestrengthened the outlook for production agricul-ture, which helped draw his son back.

"They have a love for the land, and they do seean opportunity," Snyder said. He also stressed thevalue of advanced technology in making agricul-ture a more attractive way of living. He said larg-er equipment, GPS systems, and new plant vari-eties are among the reasons young people comeback to their roots.

Other issues discussed during the hearingincluded brucellosis, pine bark beetle infestation,biomass economics, USDA farm programs, foreigntrade, and dairy issues.

The Cheyenne Field Hearing was held Tuesdaymorning at Laramie County Community College.It was one of several scheduled for the House AgCommittee this spring. Other area committee

members participating in the hearing were AdrianSmith, of Nebraska's 3rd District, and CynthiaLummis, Wyoming.

Upon the conclusion of the hearing, Smith said,"Our nation faces unprecedented economic chal-lenges, and rural communities across the countryoffer innovative solutions. We should be workingto create policies, which will strengthen Americanagriculture and provide long-term stability for ournation's producers, and to promote economic poli-cies that will foster sustained growth in ruralcommunities. The rural way of life is foreverchanging, and I believe we have a good story totell."

Committee Chairman Colin Peterson ofMinnesota told the large audience that his goal isto have the 2012 Farm Bill ready to go when the2008 bill expires on Sept. 30, 2012.

6th Annual

"The average age of Nebraskafarmers is 58 years."

Jeff Fortenberry

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent

The 2012 Farm Bill was the focus of attention onTuesday in Cheyenne, Wyo., as members of theHouse Agriculture Committee, including U.S. Rep.Adrian Smith, R-Neb., heard from farmers andranchers on a variety of issues.

Smith, who represents Nebraska's 3rdCongressional District, said energy is an impor-tant component of the new Farm Bill, and themassive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico shouldn'tscare the United States away from continuing tolook at all resources in achieving energy inde-pendence.

In a recent New York Times column, ThomasFriedman said America now imports about 11 mil-lion barrels of oil a day " about 57 percent of itstotal needs " mostly from Canada, Mexico,Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria. Quoting T.Boone Pickens, Friedman said the U.S. tradedeficit for January 2010 was $37.3 billion " and$27.5 billion of that went to import oil.

The Farm Bill hearing was the fourth in a seriesbeing held throughout the country. Upcominghearings will be held in Morrow, Ga.; Troy, Ala.;Lubbock, Texas; and Sioux Falls, S.D.

In framing the importance of the Farm Billhearings, Smith said the U.S. faces "unprecedent-ed' economic challenges. But he believes "ruralcommunities across the country offer innovativesolutions."

"We should be working to create policies whichwill strengthen American agriculture and providelong-term stability for our nation's producers andto promote economic policies which will foster sus-tained growth in rural communities," Smith said.

The hearings are allowing Smith and other agcommittee members to review U.S. agriculturepolicy prior to writing the 2012 Farm Bill.

Issues raised at the hearing in Cheyenne includ-

ed resource devastation of the western pine beetle,cattle, sheep, wheat, sugar beets, trade and farmpayments.

"There was a pretty good broad perspective,"Smith said about the testimony heard atTuesday's hearing.

By starting the hearings early, Smith said, thecommittee hopes to get "ahead of the curve" whenit comes to getting a Farm Bill completed on time.

With the U.S. deficit at more than $12 trillion,spending limitations are going to be a hot Farm

Bill topic.Because of good commodity prices during the

term of the 2005 Farm Bill, not a lot of govern-ment money was needed for crop support. Smithsaid that could "affect numbers into the future."

"That is something we need to keep it in mind,"Smith said. "We heard from a wheat grower aboutthe stability of direct payments, for example."

Direct payments are fixed, regardless of year-to-year variations in acres, yields and prices, whilecounter-cyclical payments depend on the nationalseason average price for each crop.

Making those necessary cuts to the Farm Billbecause of the government's deteriorating finan-cial problems will be difficult, Smith said.

Production agriculture is just a small portion ofthe Farm Bill. Nutrition programs make up morethan 70 percent of Farm Bill spending.

"The issues of spending are pretty broad, andthose folks who think we can gather up all thismoney out of the Farm Bill have to keep it in per-spective that there are a lot of other things thatneed to be looked at," Smith said.

With agriculture a key component of thenation's economic vitality and national security,an inadequately funded Farm Bill could putAmerica's agricultural industry in jeopardy.

Smith said there's no talk amongst committeemembers about extending the current Farm Billinstead of writing a new piece of legislation.

The current Farm Bill will expire in September2012.

"That's why we are starting early to get a newbill passed in time rather than delaying it orextending it," Smith said. "That's what we are try-ing to prevent, but we will see how it goes."

Smith said one of his main priorities with a newFarm Bill will be the energy component.

Smith represents the nation's leading ethanol-producing congressional district. Nebraska is thenation's second-leading ethanol producer and thefourth-leading state in wind energy potential.

"Agriculture plays an important part of ournation's energy mixture," he said. "Whether it'srenewable fuels and leading this country to ener-gy independence, it's going take a lot of differenttypes of fuels, and agriculture plays a role not onlyin the production of energy but in terms of con-sumption."

Extreme volatility in energy like the nation sawin 2008, when oil prices hit nearly $150 per barrel,can play havoc on the highly energy-dependentagricultural industry, not only from fuel but fromthe fertilizer and chemicals that are derived fromfossil fuels.

Smith advocates an "all-of-the-above" approachto energy production that calls for a mixture ofenergy sources, whether it be fossil fuels ornuclear energy or renewable fuels. He is alsoinvolved in new energy research, such as biofuelproduction from algae.

In light of the massive oil spill in the Gulf ofMexico that threatens the U.S. Gulf Coast, Smithsaid there should be additional emphasis onrenewable fuels.

"We don't want to be so dependent on one sourceof energy, and this is a good reason," Smith said."I'm not saying we should shut off off-shoredrilling because I think this is an isolated situa-tion, but it does point to the fact that we needother options. Biofuels and other alternative ener-gy, such as wind, hydro and solar, are all impor-tant as well."

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack hasannounced that the U.S. Department ofAgriculture is seeking proposals from eligiblepartners for projects to help owners and operatorsof agricultural and nonindustrial private forestlands improve their natural resources through theCooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative(CCPI) in fiscal year 2010. Producers can useCCPI to achieve conservation benefits such asclean air and water, productive soils and abun-dant wildlife.

"Partnerships with America's producers are aneffective way to address environmental concernsrelated to agriculture," said Vilsack. "ThroughCCPI, we are employing a voluntary approachwith landowners and operators to help reduce sed-iments and nutrients, increase carbon sequestra-tion and build a healthier environment across thecountry."

About $5 million will be made available throughCCPI in fiscal year 2010. USDA's NaturalResources Conservation Service (NRCS) will usethis initiative to enter into agreements for up tofive years with eligible partners interested inenhancing conservation on agricultural and non-industrial private forest lands in specific areas.

CCPI helps agricultural producers and forestlandowners address conservation priorities at thelocal, state, multi-state, or regional levels; meetfederal, state, and local regulatory requirementsrelated to production; cooperate in installing andmaintaining conservation practices; and developand demonstrate innovative conservation prac-tices and delivery methods, including practicesassociated with specialty crop and organic produc-tion as well as precision agriculture.

Potential partners include federally recognizedtribes, state and local units of government, farmercooperatives, producer associations, institutions ofhigher education, and nongovernmental organiza-tions with a history of working cooperatively withagricultural producers. The Request for Proposalscan be found at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-8244.pdf.

Individual landowners and operators cannotsubmit a partner proposal. An agricultural pro-ducer or nonindustrial private forest landownercan receive financial and technical assistance forsoil, water, plant, air and animal-related concernsif their land is located within an approved CCPIpartnership project area.

CCPI will be funded through three existingNRCS programs this fiscal year—theEnvironmental Quality Incentives Program(EQIP), the Conservation Stewardship Program(CSP) and the Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program(WHIP). NRCS will provide financial and techni-cal assistance directly to agricultural producersusing the rules and procedures of these three pro-grams. Potential partners are not required to con-tribute matching funding but it increases theirprospects for selection if they provide financial,technical, or other resources.

To participate in CCPI, potential partners mustsubmit their proposals by close of business(Eastern Time) on May 27, 2010 to FinancialAssistance Division, NRCS's NationalHeadquarters in Washington, D.C. Proposalsshould identify the project area, conservation pri-orities in the area, the conservation objectives ofthe project, the number of producers likely to par-ticipate, the capabilities and resources offered bythe applicant, and a monitoring and reportingplan, among other factors.

Detailed partnership proposal requirements arelocated at www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs.ccip.Once a partnership proposal is selected, interest-ed eligible agricultural producers and nonindus-trial private forest landowners within the projectarea should apply directly to NRCS for fundingunder the appropriate conservation program—EQIP, CSP, or WHIP. Applicants must meet theeligibility requirements of the program for whichthey are applying. Please visitwww.nrcs.usda.gov/programs for more informa-tion on each program, including eligibilityrequirements. Applicants may also contact BradSoncksen, NRCS assistant state conservationistfor programs at (402) 437-4111 for additional guid-ance.

NRCS is celebrating 75 years helping peoplehelp the land in 2010. Since 1935, the NRCS con-servation delivery system has advanced a uniquepartnership with state and local governments andprivate landowners delivering conservation basedon specific, local conservation needs, while accom-modating state and national interests.

It may look like simple fields and pastures,but Nebraska's agricultural land is steadilybecoming more valuable " and more costly to itsowners.

For the third straight year, the assessedvalue of the state's ag land has increased bydouble-digit percentages, according to figuresreleased in April by the Nebraska Departmentof Revenue.

Ag land values went up by 11.85 percent from2009 to 2010, dwarfing the 3.59 percentincrease in commercial and industrial propertyand 0.88 percent increase in residential andrecreational property.

The most fundamental reason for such a bigjump is a simple one, said Jay Rempe, vicepresident of governmental affairs for theNebraska Farm Bureau.

Ag land values are primarily driven by theprofitability of the land, and as yields and com-modity prices rise, the value of the land riseswith them, he said.

Nebraska's increase is particularly sharpbecause the state uses a three-year sample ofag land sale prices, dating back to July 2006 forthis year's totals. That means this year's valu-ation increases are being driven largely by theag economy's boom a few years ago.

"We're playing a little bit of catch-up for thereally good years that row crop farmers in par-ticular had in '07 and '08," Rempe said.

He expects those increases to slow downsomewhat over the next couple of years asthose prime years drop out of the sample. ButHamilton County Assessor Patricia Sandbergsaid that, in her county, sale prices are onlygoing up.

Another contributing factor to increasingland valuations is basic supply and demand,said Ruth Sorensen, a property tax administra-tor for the state Department of Revenue.

The supply of agricultural land in the state islimited, and when demand increases for a rela-tively scarce supply, prices shoot up, Sorensensaid.

Rempe said that, while those increasing val-ues can be lucrative for sellers, they often hurtbeginning farmers who are buying land andother farmers who are paying taxes on it.

This year was the first, though, that the stateused a new methodology to encourage consis-tency between various counties, encouragingcounties to use "borrowed sales" from adjacentcounties in determining their assessments.

Sorensen said the sales' effect on counties'assessed ag land values won't be clear untilvalues are equalized statewide later this year.

But she said the new practice is intended tohelp lessen valuation disparities between bor-dering land in different counties.

"When you have land on one side of the roadand land on the other side of the road, you can'thave a huge difference, because that doesn'teven make sense," Howard County AssessorDeloris Heminger said.

Both Howard and Hamilton counties used ahandful of sales prices from adjacent countiesafter they had determined their own counties'prices as a way to verify that their prices werein a reasonable range.

Heminger said the nearby sales can be usedto fill out small sample sizes in a county, butnot many were necessary in her county becauseof a high number of sales there.

The borrowed sales are determined byDepartment of Revenue regional officials alongwith assessors based on proximity and similar-ity of soil type and land use.

Howard County used sales from five differentcounties " Hall, Merrick, Greeley, Sherman andValley " but Hamilton County only used salesfrom Clay and Polk counties.

Sandberg said sales from Hall and Merrickcounties wouldn't be used because the marketsthere are so different from those in HamiltonCounty.

Sandberg said the new practice "could be adouble-edged sword" " fostering more uniformi-ty between counties but possibly making it dif-ficult to explain to farmers why another coun-ty's sales helped determine their land's value.

"If they don't own any land in Polk County,they only care about Hamilton County,"Sandberg said.

Heminger said it's always healthy to look out-side of just one county, and she appreciates thereassurance of knowing her valuations are inline with her neighbors'.

"That gives you something to kind of knowthat you're correct in what your assumptionsare," she said.

The Kansas pleading says Nebraska should beheld in contempt of court for not obeying theSupreme Court's 2003 decree. It says the courtshould take action against Nebraska to ensure itwon't violate the compact again and thatNebraska should pay unspecified damages toKansas for violations of the decree.

Lower Republican Natural Resources DistrictGeneral Manager Mike Clements of Alma said hewas somewhat surprised by the timing of the peti-tion. "The (Harlan County) lake is full and in itsflood pool," he said. "Nebraska is in compliance forits most recent five-year running average."

"Our state's actions in this matter are andalways have been to ensure that we get the waterwe are due under the compact and settlement,"said David Barfield, chief engineer of the KansasDepartment of Agriculture's Division of WaterResources, which manages Kansas' interests ininterstate water issues.

"We're not trying to be litigious; we just wantNebraska to be fair," he said.

Barfield told the Hub Tuesday that no signifi-cance should be attached to the timing of the peti-tion. "It was when we were ready to go," he said,adding that Kansas officials have been "verydeliberate" in going forward.

They couldn't take action until an arbitration

process concluded last summer.In June 2009, an arbitrator found that

Nebraska has not adhered to the compact andmust take additional action to comply with obliga-tions. The Hub reported then that there werepluses and minuses for both states in arbitratorKarl J. Dreher's nonbinding arbitration report.

Bruning had said he was pleased that Dreherrejected the Kansas argument that monetarydamages should be based on Nebraska's gainsfrom overuse of water in 2005 and 2006. The arbi-trator recommended that Nebraska make a nomi-nal damage payment of $10,000 until Kansascould correct its estimates of water that shouldhave been available to the Kansas BostwickIrrigation District.

Kansas officials had wanted $9 million in dam-ages, while Nebraska replied it owed no more than$1.23 million. Kansas' original bill was $72 mil-lion, but Dreher had ruled in December 2008 thatKansas could seek payment only for actual dam-ages.

"I think Nebraskansunderstand that we'regonna have to do morein water-short years. ...We can live with that,"Bruning said in June.

Barfield had describedthe arbitrator's reportas "a very positive deci-sion for Kansas" in partbecause it saidNebraska's currentwater use plans for com-pact compliance wereinadequate.

Dreher's report saidthe integrated watermanagement planswritten by the NebraskaDepartment of NaturalResources and Upper,Middle and LowerRepublican NRDswouldn't ensure compli-

ance during prolonged dry periods. He wrote thatfurther reductions in consumptive groundwaterwithdrawals should be made beyond what wasrequired in the initial plans and there should bepermanent, interruptible supply contracts withsurface water irrigators.

Clements agrees that Mother Nature willchange and there will be dry years in the future,but he said the Republican Basin NRDs are work-ing "vigorously" with state officials on plans toaddress water-short years as defined by theamount of water stored in Harlan Lake. He saidthe main goal is to maintain water supplies abovethe water-short definition.

"There is no silver bullet," he added, and multi-ple actions are required to maintain compact com-pliance.

An ongoing project is enhancing streamflows toKansas by removing invasive plants and debrisfrom the river channel. "We are in a lot bettershape now than we were three years ago,"Clements said.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln research findsfeeding reproducing cows corn coproducts is ben-eficial to their post calving gain, reproductionand may improve beef production sustainability.

Dried distillers grains plus solubles or wet corngluten feed are co-produced during the fermenta-tion process of ethanol or corn sweetener, so theyare a readily available, economical feed choice forNebraska cattle producers.

Little information is available when it comes tofeeding coproducts to reproducing cows, said RickFunston, beef cattle reproductive physiologist atthe West Central Research and Extension Centerat North Platte.

"There's been a lot of research on feedingcoproducts from the corn ethanol and corn sweet-ener industries, but most of that has been infeedlot cattle, not in breeding females," Funstonsaid. "We wanted to look at the impact of feedingcoproducts to first-calf heifers."

UNL animal scientists conducted feeding trialson 134 first-calf heifers between calving and arti-ficial insemination. The experiment was replicat-ed over two years to determine the effect of addi-tional bypass protein and dietary fat from feed-ing dried distillers grains plus solubles or wetcorn gluten feed.

The first-calf heifers were fed diets equal inenergy and crude protein with varying levels ofby-pass protein and dietary fat.

Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resourcesresearchers found that feeding first-calf heifersdried distillers grains plus solubles or wet corngluten feed in amounts that do not exceed proteinneeds do not have any negative effects on repro-duction. In fact, they are beneficial.

Funston said the various diets did not affectpre-breeding body weight of the cows. However,scientists did find that the first-calf heifers con-suming the wet corn gluten feed diet had agreater average daily gain during the supple-

mentation period compared to the cows fed thediet containing dried distillers grains plus sol-ubles.

In addition, researchers observed a 24 percentincrease in cyclicity before synchronizationwhich resulted in a 9 percent greater artificialinsemination conception rate in heifers fed thediet containing dried distillers grains.

"You can feed relatively small amounts of thisinexpensive coproduct in a cow diet, and balancewith moderate to low quality hay," Funston said."In these challenging economic times, producersshould evaluate a diet containing coproducts ifthey are readily available and reasonablepriced."

Researchers also found that male and femalecalf weaning body weight were similar betweentreatments, but female calves from dried dis-tillers grains plus solubles-fed cows had a greaterage-adjusted body weight than those from cowsfed the diet containing wet corn gluten feed.

Overall, they found that wet corn gluten feedimproved cow average daily gain before breedingand dried distillers grains plus solublesincreased reproductive response of the first calfheifers and adjusted weaning body weight offemale offspring.

Further research will identify the appropriatelevel and duration of supplementation. This willlook at additional mechanisms to decrease pro-duction costs and further enhance reproduction.

UNL Research Finds Feeding Corn Coproducts to Reproducing Cows Positive

Research demonstrates estrous synchronizationin cows can improve calving distribution and prog-eny value.

Synchronizing estrous is a tool that can be usedto concentrate when animals exhibit estrus andpotentially calving distribution.

Calving records collected between 2000 and 2008at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory nearWhitman were used to determine the effect ofestrous synchronization on calving distributionand the impact of time of calving on steer weaning,feedlot and carcass characteristics.

A major goal in estrous synchronization is toincrease the percentage of calves born early in thecalving season. University of Nebraska-Lincolnresearch found that calves born in the first 21 daysof the calving season are heavier and more uni-form at weaning and have greater carcass weightsand quality grades.

Data were compared from 60-day, non-synchro-nized and 45-day, synchronized breeding seasons,both using natural breeding. Compared to the 60-day non-synchronized season, 12 percent morecalves were born in the first 21 days of the calvingseason, and the average weaning weight was 20pounds greater for the 45-day synchronized breed-ing season.

The benefits don't stop with weight at weaning,said Rick Funston, beef cattle reproductive physi-ologist at the West Central Research andExtension Center at North Platte.

"There are significant benefits to the cow,"Funston said. "It benefits the cow because she hasa longer time to breed back. It gives the cow alonger period of time from calving to breeding, sothe postpartum interval is lengthened. This willpotentially increase longevity and decreasereplacement needs."

Shortened calving periods result in more effi-cient use of labor inputs for calving and vaccina-tions and increased returns on feed inputs.

Cow nutrition can be optimized by grouping cowsaccording to stage of gestation and feeding eachgroup accordingly.

Live cattle trade is mixed in active trade.Heading into Thursday, the weekly net changesare 20 lower on the June contract, and August isup 50. A combination of light profit taking by mar-ket longs and chart buying has controlled trade.Cash trade has been slow to develop this week, butsome light sales were reported at $100 which wassteady with last week. The cutout finished mixedon Wednesday with choice down 35 at 171.05 andselect was 4 higher at 166.95. The trend is stillhigher on the chart and futures will remain sup-

ported as long as cash maintains the firm tone.Hedgers call with questions, feeders should belocking in positive margins, or at least gettingsome option protection in place.

Lean hog trade is light higher this week due tolight chart buying. After three days of trade, theweekly net changes are 12 higher on the June con-tract and July is up 5. Cash trade was steady earlythis week, but prices fell more than $2 onWednesday due to slipping packer margins.Seasonally, we do expect a decrease in hog weightsthis time of year so cash should find support. Thechart turned lightly negative last week, but thereis support at $83.85-$84 on the July contract. Thismarket is still at historically very high levels andthere is additional room to correct to the downside.Hedgers should be / should have been fairly aggres-sive over the past month. We do not believe themarket needs to go back to the February lows, butthe profit margin on paper can be greatly reduced.

By Jim Schild, Extension Educator and Bob Hawley, Research Technician UNL Extension

Many people associated the work of theScottsbluff Station with the production of grains,but the early work of the Scottsbluff station wasalso to investigate the possibility of horticulturalproduction in the Panhandle region.

The first station manager, Fritz Knorr, plantedan orchard in 1911. The station's charge was toevaluate varieties for adaptation to the region.Jules Sandoz was growing fruit trees in hisorchard in Sheridan County at the turn of the cen-tury, but the unpredictable weather challengedhim and others trying to grow fruit and vegeta-bles.

Weather has been and continues to be thebiggest challenge for growers trying to producequality fruits and vegetables, as evidenced by thisreport for the station from 1916: "The garden andorchard work were a total failure this year, due tosand storms, late snow and the hail at a laterdate. On June 20 the garden was practically asbare of vegetation as in January. All that we wereable to get out of the garden was a few stringbeans and a few tomatoes, the first of whichripened about a week before the first frost. All ofthe fruit was destroyed by the weather this fall.The hail did perhaps most of the damage to theyoung fruit. The trees were considerably damagedby the hail, most of the scars, however, healedvery nicely during the summer and no winterdamage should result from these wounds."Gardeners today can relate to those same weatherchallenges.

The second superintendent, James Holden,planted 100 fruit trees (apples, pears, cherriesand plums) and 250 small fruits (currants, goose-berries, grapes, raspberries, and strawberries) in1923. Some of the trees lived and produced fruitperiodically during the next 30 years. In 1949 theapple crop contributed to the cash revenue of thestation, the only year the orchard did so.

The third superintendent, Lionel Harris, contin-ued looking at fruit production. He worked incooperation with the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Cheyenne Horticultural Station and

planted an experimental orchard in 1939. Out ofthat collaboration many fruit trees and smallfruits were identified as being hardy, and someare still planted in this region today.

Harris also conducted vegetable variety tests inthe early to mid 1930s. Vegetables tried wereasparagus, bush beans, table beets, cabbage, car-rots, cauliflower, celery, chard, sweet corn, cucum-bers, eggplant, peppers, endive, kohlrabi, lettuce,muskmelons, watermelons, okra, onions,parsnips, peas, radishes, salsify, spinach, squash,pumpkins, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and turnips.The work was mostly concerned with varieties andother factors from the standpoint of the home gar-den.

However, Harris also goes on to say that com-mercial production of cabbage and onions is feasi-ble in the area and that certain varieties of toma-toes, peas, beans, sweet corn, and red beets havecanning possibilities. In March 1937, a meetingwas held for local growers to discuss growing veg-etables for canning purposes. The following is thereport in Harris's weekly log: "The Otoe FoodProducts Co. is building a canning factory nearScottsbluff at the present time. This company willcan only tomatoes and sweet corn this year, buteventually expects also to process asparagus,spinach, red beets, carrots, beans and peas.Approximately 200 growers attended the meeting,which indicates the interest that is being shown inthe new industry."

Otoe Foods, latter called Morton House, cannedvegetables from 1939 to 1946, when it was sold toConsumer's Cooperative of Kansas City.

Commercial vegetable production interest wasrenewed in the 1960s, when David Nuland evalu-ated vegetable varieties in 19 counties inNebraska. The specific purpose was to generateinformation for the vegetable processing industryregarding the potential for vegetable productionin Nebraska. Information was compiled onasparagus, lima beans, dry beans, snapbeans, redbeets, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers,onions, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, sweet corn, andtomatoes.

Campbell Soups in Omaha was looking for localsources of vegetables, but as the interstate road

system developed it brought with it the ability tobring in fresh produce from the traditional veg-etable growing regions. Nuland began looking atturf and landscape issues in the early 1970s, con-ducting trials on bluegrass varieties and lookingat warm season grasses suited to the high plainslandscapes.

Nuland teamed up with Stan Haas, who was thecommunication specialist at the center, and start-ed the D.A. Murphy Arboretum. The arboretum ispart of the Nebraska Statewide ArboretumSystem and is still in existence. Nuland, alongwith county agents in the Panhandle region, start-ed and recruited Master Gardeners for a new stateprogram in 1986. In return for classroom instruc-tion, the Master Gardener volunteers donate backto their communities 40 hours of their time work-ing on various horticultural projects.

An attempt at vegetable production was againmade in the mid 1980s, when the UNL FoodProcessing Center established a presence at theLionel Harris building at the Mitchell Unit.Carrots, onions, and peppers were all grown at thecenter. Onions started in paper pots in greenhous-es and later transplanted to the field were alsoevaluated. Some local businessmen were at thistime trying to set up a freeze dry operation inGering to package the vegetable products.Unfortunately, the local bank that was helpingwith the project failed, and with the bank failurethe project also failed.

Nuland retired in 2000 and in the budget-cut-ting process for that year the horticultural posi-tion at the Panhandle Center was lost. ExtensionEducator Jim Schild and other educators pickedup pieces of Nuland's work.

Schild's horticultural work has been looking atdifferent varieties of grapes that can be grown inwestern Nebraska. Currently, three commercialwineries are in operation.

The D.A. Murphy Arboretum continues and thefocus of the work has been to reduce the amount ofwater used in the landscape. Native shrubs andtrees have been planted in landscape beds, blue-grass turf areas have been converted to buffalo-grass turf, and mulched landscape plantings oftrees and shrubs are included.

ESTROUS SYNCHRONIZATION CANBOOST CATTLE PRODUCERS' PROFITSContinued from page 24

The synchronization system used was a single injection ofprostaglandin F2-alpha given five days after bull turn in andcost less than $2 per dose.

Funston does not recommend shortening the breeding sea-son of the cow herd with this synchronization system thefirst year as late calving, non-cycling cows will not respondto this synchronization protocol and may need the addition-al days to become pregnant.

"It is likely more profitable to have your veterinarian iden-tify those late pregnant animals and either market them aspregnant females or calve them and sell the pair nextspring," Funston said. "The place to start is with replace-ment females, having a short first breeding season coupledwith synchronization so they never are introduced into theherd as a late calver.

"In a modest to low input heifer development system, anon-pregnant female at pregnancy diagnosis is generally avaluable commodity as a yearling."

What else would disappear with it?

Well, to start, the millions of dollars that livestock and poultry producers generate to help build and restore your local schools and parks.

Then there’s the locally produced meat that we trust to be part of the safe and healthy meals we feed our families.

And of course saying goodbye to your local poultry and livestock industries would also mean saying goodbye to the number one customer for U.S. soybean meal.

Animal agriculture helps our community thrive. That’s why it’s important that we continue to give them our support. Because a safe and secure food supply and a safe and secure rural community both come from the same place – inside the barns and out in the fields of America’s farmers and producers.

Soybean farmers helping livestock and poultry producers just makes sense.
