A 430-acre cornfield along thePlatte River in northwest PhelpsCounty is being studied as a possiblesite for a small reservoir from whichtimed releases of water could bemade to augment streamflows.
"This is still very preliminary,"
Dave Ford, Irrigation Division man-ager for the Holdrege-based CentralNebraska Public Power andIrrigation District, said as he stoodat the edge of the cornfield with amap of the site.
It was the first stop on Tuesday'sTri-Basin Natural ResourcesDistrict water projects tour.
The idea is to build dikes aroundthe field and divert water into thereservoir from a nearby CNPPIDirrigation canal when Platte Basinwater supplies allow. The water heldin the reservoir would be available

Al Dutcher ReportWeather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
Abnormally dry con-ditions were intro-duced by the U.S.Drought Monitor forsouth central ands o u t h e a s t e r nNebraska in responseto the excessive heatand lack of significantmoisture for much ofthe past 30 days. Thecurrent depiction does-n’t include rainfallthat occurred after the7:00 am deadline on
8/18. Crop stress due to a combination of heat,lack of moisture, and shallow developed roots fromexcessive rainfall during the first half of the sum-mer led to the upgrade. It is very likely that thisupgrade will be short lived as several opportuni-ties for additional moisture may be sufficient toreplenish soil moisture in the upper profile andalleviate crop stress. Depending on the quantityof moisture, it could very well supply enoughmoisture to carry corn and soybeans through tomaturity, which is progressing rapidly across the
impacted area.Week One Forecast: 8/21-8/27: Dry conditions
are expected during the 8/21-8/23 period as highpressure dominates the central and southernPlains region. A few isolated thunderstorms maydevelop across north central and southwestNebraska during the later half of 8/23 as a coldfront begins to move eastward from the northernRockies. Highs during the period will range fromthe upper 80's northeast to mid 90's west.Weather models indicate that the cold front willpush through the state on 8/24 with widespreadrain and thunderstorms developing from west toeast. Highs on 8/24 are projected to range fromthe low 80's north to low 90's south. The cold frontis currently projected to stall along the Kansas-Nebraska border on 8/25 with thunderstorms pos-sible most of the day. Highs will range from thelow 80's north to upper 80's south. On 8/26, highpressure will build into the central U.S. and pushthe stalled frontal boundary east of Nebraska.The best chance for precipitation will lie acrosssouth central and southeast Nebraska during theearly part of the day. Highs will warm into thelow 90's west to mid 80's northeast. Another coldfront is projected to move through western
Nebraska during the second half of 8/27 andresult in thunderstorm development. Highs willrange from the low 90's southeast to the lower 80'snorthwest.
Week Two Forecast: 8/28-9/3: The cold front thatentered western Nebraska on 8/27 is projected topush through the remainder of the state on 8/28and completely exit the state by the eveninghours. Scattered thunderstorms are likely acrossthe eastern half of the state, while mostly dry con-ditions will prevail across the west. Highs areprojected to range from the upper 80's to low 90'swest to the low to mid 80's east. High pressurewill build across the region on 8/29 and dominatethe region for the remainder of the week. Enoughmoisture will exist to generate isolated to scat-tered thunderstorms during the peak heatinghours. Highs during the 8/29-9/3 period are pro-jected to range from the mid to upper 80's north,with upper 80's to low 90's south. The bestchances for isolated thunderstorms will be acrossthe eastern half of the state during the 8/30-8/31period, shifting to the western half of the stateduring the 9/1-9/3 period.

Calcium is one of the most essential nutrientsin teens’ diets, but most aren’t getting enough.
A recent USDA study found that nine out of 10girls and seven out of 10 boys don’t get enoughcalcium. The results worry nutritionists because40 percent of a person’s bone development occursbetween the ages of nine and 18. The teen yearsare the best times to lay calcium into the bonesand reach peak bone mass, which reduces therisk of osteoporosis later. Osteoporosis usually isassociated with females, but males also candevelop the disease.
Calcium consumption decreases as children - -especially females - - enter their teen years. Noevidence shows that milk products cause weightgain, but girls usually avoid milk products whenthey’re dieting or watching their weight.However, there are plenty of low-calorie dairyalternatives to choose from. Low-fat cottagecheese, ice cream and non-fat milk contain asmuch calcium as regular products, but they havefewer calories.
Parents can encourage teens to consume dairyproducts by having calcium-rich foods like cheesesticks or fruit smoothies available for after-schoolsnacks. They also should set good examples forteens by drinking milk at home or serving dairyproducts at meals.

You open the mail box and there it is. Yetanother credit card application. And you’re evenpre-approved this time.
Before applying, however, review your creditreports. Lenders use credit reports to decidewhen to extend credit. If any mistakes are foundwithin the report you receive, immediately notifythe credit bureau in writing.
If credit is denied, it’s your right to ask thecredit bureau what their reasons were.
Credit can be a useful way to manage businessas well as family finances. But mismanagingcredit can derail long-term plans and lead tofinancial difficulties.
Families need to know how much credit theycan afford to use. Most people should limit theircredit payments to between 15 and 20 percent oftheir take-home pay; this figure does not includemortgage payments. Personal values about cred-it and economic conditions can influence credit
decisions. For example, if concern exists over thesource of future income, it isn’t necessarily smartto commit to payments that you won’t be able toafford.
If credit is used on a regular basis because cashisn’t available, this habit may become a problem.However, most people can use credit wisely ifthey know the danger signs and are willing totake action if the need arises. Some common dan-ger signs are making only minimum payments orjust skipping payments altogether, receiving pastdue notices, relying on extra income or dippinginto savings to make ends meet each month andtaking out new loans to pay off old ones.
Problems with credit don’t always stem fromspending too much. Unemployment, a medicalemergency or another large expense can bring oncredit anxieties.
A credit card must be in your own name toestablish credit history. It doesn’t do any long-term good if the credit card you use is only inyour spouse’s name.

Teenagers Lack Adequate Calcium

Extra summer tomatoes can be quickly frozenwithout blanching whether their skins are on oroff, whether they are whole, sliced, chopped orpureed.
First, be sure to select firm, ripe tomatoes tofreeze. Discard any tomatoes that are spoiled.
Like all produce, tomatoes need to be properlywashed before freezing. Wet tomatoes with water,rub the surfaces, rinse them with running waterand dry them with a paper towel. Do not washtomatoes in a sink filled with water because con-taminated water can be absorbed through toma-toes' stem scars. Using soap or detergent is notrecommended with fruits and vegetables becausethey can absorb detergent residues.
Peel the washed tomatoes by dipping them intoboiling water for about one minute, or until theskin splits. The skin can then be easily removed.To freeze tomatoes with their skins, wash thetomatoes and then cut away their stem scars andthe surrounding areas.
Wait to season tomatoes until after they havebeen defrosted and are about to be served.Freezing could possibly weaken or strengthenherbs and seasonings.
For freezing tomatoes, with or without skins,place them on a cookie sheet and freeze them.Once the tomatoes are frozen, transfer them tobags or containers.
For best results, use containers meant forfreezing and make sure they are tightly sealed.Use a freezer with a temperature at or below zerodegrees Fahrenheit. It is recommended that allfrozen vegetables be eaten within eight months.
To use the frozen tomatoes, remove them and
run them under warm water in a sink. This willhelp defrost them and any tomato skins will slipoff easily.
Thawed tomatoes can be used in recipes callingfor cooked tomatoes. However, freezing givestomatoes a mushy texture, so do not substitutethem for raw tomatoes.

“Whose bread I eat, his song I sing.” - OldGerman Saying
I have a multitude of faults and there aremany things I don’t like about myself. Idrive, talk and eat too fast and type tooslow. I have no patience, can be hotheadedat times, can’t keep a secret, and I worryconstantly about things that will neverhappen. Just to name a few of my manyfaults. I could go on and on but I think youget the picture. I am a man of many foiblesand frailties but there is one thing that I dolike about myself: I am loyal.
It breaks my heart to see companies thatI’ve been loyal to go bankrupt or cease toexist. The first vehicle I ever bought was aChevy because a nearby General Motorsdealer bought one of my Grand Championsteers when I was in high school. When Imarried and moved away my wife and Ibought seven Oldsmobiles from the samewonderful man who was extremely loyal tome. We wouldn’t have thought to go any-where else. So it broke my heart to see GMgo broke. If I was in charge of GM I’d go toa different employee parking lot everymorning and fire every employee whoshowed up for work driving anything but aGM vehicle. I think it’s terrible to draw agood paycheck from a company and thennot buy the product you helped build.
I banked with the same bank that gaveme my first loan as an FFA’er in high schooluntil they were merged out of existence.And to this day I buy Union 76 gasoline
exclusively because they gave me a job inthe oilfields during the summers so that Icould pay my way through college. I amloyal to the publications that run my col-umn and I have never upped my rates sinceI started writing a weekly column 27 yearsago. I think it’s the least I can do for thecompanies that took a big gamble on me.
We use the same husband and wifemechanic shop to smog test our vehiclesbecause the wife shops in the grocery storewhere my wife worked for 28 years. I’d feellike a schmuck going anywhere else. Andeven though the grocery store is smaller,and not as well stocked as the other one intown, we still buy our groceries from thestore where my wife worked all those years.They helped support us and how could wenot support them in good conscience?
I know this attitude is very much out ofstyle and that many would think I’m a fool.I’m supposed to shop at Wal Mart, buy aHonda and buy my books online fromAmazon. But Wal Mart never did anythingfor me, Honda never bought one of my FFAsteers like a local Caterpillar dealer did,and Amazon won’t even sell my books anymore because I’m not a big enough publish-er. (Although they’ll gouge you on a usedone.) Why should I give them any of mybusiness?
It may be irrational these days to remainloyal to brand names when the genericstore brands are cheaper, but I just can’tbring myself to do it. I buy Craftsman tools
because they are great tools and when onebroke a long time ago Sears replaced it, noquestions asked, just like they promisedthey would. I’ll only buy an Apple comput-er, even if they are more expensive, becausethey have served me well for over 25 years.I’ve been a lifelong customer of Mott’sApple Sauce, Justin Boots, A and W RootBeer, J.C. Pennys, and Pendleton WoolenMills because their products are consistent-ly good and, like the true friends they havebecome, they have earned my loyalty. Oldcowboys called such loyalty “ridin for thebrand” and, as usual, the cowboys got itright.
Although I may criticize our politiciansand assorted alphabet agencies, you willnever hear me criticize the United States ofAmerica. Some call such love of country“patriotism” but I still think of it as beingloyal. I love my country for giving me thefreedom and the opportunity to become allthat I could be, and I will always be loyal tothis country until the day that I die or itgoes out of business.
And unless more of us start shopping thesame way, I’m sad to say, that’s a very realpossibility.

As I’ve traveled the Third District, I’ve had thechance to meet with hundreds of Nebraskans.They are concerned about our economy and theever increasing intrusion by the government intoour lives. They are frustrated Congress continuesto pass one stimulus bill after another withoutactually improving our economy.
Our nation’s unemployment rate remains nearly10 percent – and would be much higher if the offi-cial calculations took into account the growingnumber of Americans who have become so discour-aged they have given up looking for work. Homeforeclosures are rising, as lenders repossessed92,858 properties last month, up nine percent fromJune and an increase of six percent from July2009. The U.S. government paid nearly $20 billionin interest on our nation’s $13 trillion debt lastmonth, a debt which continues to rise every singleday.
Congress has the responsibility to find ways toget Americans back to work, stabilize our economy,and put our fiscal house in order. Unfortunately,Democrats in the House recently did the samething they’ve done a number of times before –pushed through another stimulus bill which willdo nothing to reduce the unemployment rate inthis country and will, in fact, hurt job creationthrough increased taxes on American companies.
The bill, H.R. 1586, contains a total of $26.1 bil-lion in short-term state bailouts paid for with per-manent tax increases. It provides $10 billion for a
state education bailout which can only be used topay teacher salaries. In order to receive the edu-cation money, states would be prohibited fromreducing their education budgets below 2009 lev-els and the federal money could not be used toreduce states’ debt. In other words, the bill does-n’t just shield states from making tough budgetchoices; it actually forbids them from doing so.This is particularly problematic for Nebraska,which set its 2010 education budget in 2009.Under this new law, Nebraska would have to addanother $30 million to its $750 million state deficitto receive its share of the education bailout.Either way, Nebraska taxpayers will ultimatelypay for the bailout, regardless of eligibility.
The bill’s temporary spending is partially offsetby $9.6 billion in permanent tax increases on U.S.multinational companies. These tax increasesalready have been used by Democrats at leastthree other times as offsets for other spending billsand could risk jobs and put American companies ata competitive disadvantage during a recession.
The National Association of Manufacturers hascriticized this approach, stating “imposing $9.6billion in tax increases on these companies…willjeopardize the jobs of American manufacturingemployees and stifle our fragile economy.” TheU.S. Chamber of Commerce also warned this billwill “impose draconian tax increases on Americanworldwide companies that would hinder job cre-ation, decrease the competitiveness of American
businesses, and deter economic growth.”Several other business groups, representing tens
of millions of employees, also have expressed theiropposition to this misguided legislation noting itwill jeopardize jobs, discourage investment, andthwart economic recovery.
The claims this bill is fully paid for ring hollowand amount to a Washington-style shell game.The bill claims to save billions through cuts to foodstamp benefits, cuts which will no doubt berescinded before their scheduled enactment nearlyfive years from now.
The American people know we can’t tax, borrow,spend, or bail our way back to a growing economy.They are seeing the results of failed policies andare desperately looking for a new direction.
Congress cannot continue to deny its responsi-bility for fiscal discipline and pass stimulus billafter stimulus bill and expect different results.Another multi-billion dollar federal bailout onlysets a dangerous precedent of expanding the roleof the federal government in local schools anddiminishing the role of parents, teachers, and localcommunities.
The more we increase taxes on American job cre-ators, the longer our nation’s economy will contin-ue to struggle. It’s time to stop raising taxes,encourage investment, and put our trust not inpublic sector programs, but in private sector jobcreators.

2008 was a bad year for the Stock Market, and asWall Street tumbled many Americans tumbledwith it as jobs were lost, retirement accounts weredecimated, and homes were repossessed. The trou-bles on Wall Street sent shock waves through therest of the economy triggering the worst recessionsince the Great Depression and now, two yearslater, we haven’t recovered yet.
The last thing America needs is a repeat of 2008,which is why it was critical to pass legislation toreform Wall Street and keep Americans from everhaving to foot the bill again for those who fly fastand furious with other peoples’ money.It Ends the Bailouts
The Wall Street reform bill that is now law aimsto avert another financial crisis. It ends bailouts,adds common sense consumer protections, andmakes sure that Nebraska Main Street businessesare not adversely affected as we rein in reckless-ness on Wall Street.
Nebraskans didn’t act irresponsibly and causethe problems, but we had to help solve them. Itboils down to this: Nebraska taxpayers and con-sumers have already been asked to bail out banks
and now we must provide protection from futureabuses by Wall Street. Those abuses cost thou-sands of Nebraskans and millions of Americanstheir jobs, savings, and financial security as ourcountry’s economy reached the brink of collapse.
This law will protect and empower consumerswith new transparency and accountability, and itdoes so without raising taxes.Inside the Wall Street Reform Bill
The following are some highlights of the new lawthat will not only help Nebraskans but will makesure our country isn’t again faced with a financialmeltdown. The Wall Street reforms:
• Prohibit taxpayer money from being used forfuture bank bailouts. Ends “too big to fail”bailouts.
• Provide comprehensive, transparent regula-tion of the multi-trillion dollar derivatives market,the creative financial instruments few understandthat are largely responsible for the economic cri-sis.
• Provide for an audit of the Federal Reserve.• Protect Main Street from footing the bill for
Wall Street. The bill now broadens the assessment
base used by the FDIC to determine bank premi-ums. Big banks that take big risks will pay moreand community banks pay less, leaving $4.5 bil-lion over the next three years in community banks.This provision was a high priority for Nebraskacommunity banks.
• Ensure that fees for accepting debit cards arereasonable and in line with the costs of processingtransactions.
• Require that compensation for senior execu-tives of failed financial firms be paid last, after allother creditors.
• Eliminate loopholes that allow risky and abu-sive practices to go on unnoticed and unregulated-- including loopholes for asset-backed securities,hedge funds, mortgage brokers and paydaylenders.
Through these reforms we will be able to keep aclose eye on Wall Street to protect our countryfrom economic catastrophe in the future. The WallStreet Reform bill is a true consumer protectionact that will help taxpayers and the economyrecover, while helping to assure what we’ve beenthrough since 2008 never happens again.

This week, a delegation of Nebraska agricultureand commodity group representatives led byNebraska Agriculture Director Greg Ibach tookpart in a trade mission to Taiwan and Hong Kong.The purpose of the visit was to explore opportuni-ties to secure agricultural exports in two interna-tional markets important to Nebraska.
We negotiated a deal that is expected to result in$436 to $516 million in purchases of Nebraskacommodities in the next two years. This is thelargest export agreement ever negotiated onbehalf of the state.
Nebraska corn, soybean and wheat representa-tives signed a letter of intent to provide up to onemillion metric tons of corn, and at least 300,000tons of soybeans and 500,000 tons of wheat toTaiwan importers which will be processed for soy-bean oil, tofu and other soy-based products, feedfor livestock and the flour needed for noodles andbread products.
Maintaining relationships with our internation-al trading partners is a priority. This trade mis-sion was an opportunity to revisit business con-tacts made three years ago during our last trade
mission to several Asian markets. Taiwan andHong Kong are two markets that rely on importedcommodities to fulfill food needs.
In addition to meetings with commodity importgroups in Taiwan, the delegation toured a compa-ny that has purchased plastic resin made fromcorn for use in its biotech manufacturing. Theyalso held promotions at two Taipei hotels featuringNebraska beef. In recent years, Nebraska beef hasreceived higher visibility and exposure throughpromotional efforts of the Nebraska Department ofAgriculture and the Nebraska Beef Council.
The visit to Hong Kong focused on promotingNebraska beef. During a trade mission three yearsago, the Chinese Cuisine Training Institute agreedto use Nebraska beef in its classes for Hong Kongand mainland China chefs. The delegationreturned to the culinary school during this visitwhere student chefs have the opportunity to workwith quality meats in their training. We wantNebraska beef to be the first choice for these grad-uates as they move on in their professionalcareers.
Another promotion featuring Nebraska beef hasbeen taking place this year at the Disneylandresort in Hong Kong, which since Christmas hasbeen featuring Nebraska and U.S. beef in itsrestaurants. We are working hard to expand mar-ket share in Asian countries. These promotionshelp remind customers of the consistent quality ofU.S. and Nebraska beef as we attempt to regainour position as the provider of choice in theseimportant markets.
Nebraska farmers are experienced in producingfor a global market. Taiwan and Hong Kong areimportant trading partners for Nebraska agricul-ture. In 2009, Hong Kong was Nebraska’s fifthlargest agricultural trade partner. Taiwan was oureighth largest international market.
I applaud the work of the Nebraska Departmentof Agriculture in securing this new commitmentfor exports. The sales agreement negotiated repre-sents a significant opportunity that is good newsfor farmers and our state economy.

for releases into the river on the north side ofthe property at times when flows don't meettargets for the downstream habitat used bythreatened and endangered birds.
Ford said water could be used for pulse(short-term higher) and channel-scouring riverflows and to hold and release water from anenvironmental account stored in CNPPID'sLake McConaughy that's managed by the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service.
He said the reservoir might hold 9,000-10,000acre-feet at depths of 20-25 feet at times. But itprobably would be almost empty at other times.
Platte River Recovery ImplementationProgram Executive Director Jerry Kenny ofKearney said the proposed reservoir wouldrequire a water conveyance agreement withCNPPID.
Platte program uses could include holdingwater to mitigate short-term high river flowsand releasing stored water to reduce targetflow deficits. Kenny said having a reservoircloser to the key Central Platte habitat areawould help fine tune water management byallowing water to be pre-positioned for certainpurposes.
Water coming out of CNPPID's J-2 hydropow-er plant about seven miles west of the proposed
reservoir site could flow down an irrigationcanal and be held temporarily instead of goingdirectly into the Platte River at the J-2 returnstructure downstream of the plant.
"That makes very versatile uses possible,"Kenny said. "... Most of the water that the pro-gram itself is trying to capture is for re-timingreleases into the river. The more you can re-time, the less you'll have to buy."
Ford said benefits for CNPPID could be theability to run the district's hydros at peak effi-ciency more and soften peak flows in the river."It's a concern for the program that we send acharge (of water) down the river and then turnit off," he said.
Kenny said reservoir feasibility studies arebeing done by Olsson Associates under a Platteprogram contract and should be completed bylate this year or early in 2011. He said the fieldinvestigation of the site's suitability for areservoir includes analyzing soil types.
"Nothing so far has jumped out as a fatalflaw," Kenny said.
The engineers will report to a subgroup of theprogram's Water Action Committee. If a pro-posed project ultimately is recommended by thecommittee and the executive director's office, itwould be sent to the program's Governance
Committee for approval.Kenny said it could be on the agenda for the
Governance Committee's March meeting inKearney.
When asked about potential costs, he replied,"Well, it won't be cheap." The numbers used ina pre-feasibility study for a reservoir holding12,000-15,000 acre-feet were $30 million-$50million.
Public uses for a new reservoir may be limit-ed because of water level variability. "I don'tthink it would be much of a fishing hole,"Kenny said.
He added that public access policies still arebeing developed for all Platte program lands.

Sept 10 Dec. 10Support: 378 392Resistance 415 429
Corn trade has been higher this week due to chartbuying. The weekly net changes are 7 higher on theSeptember contract and December is up 6. The outsidemarket influence has been neutral; crude is $.16 lower,the dollar has been 70 lower, and the DOW is down 149points. Unwinding of long wheat versus short corn andbean spreads has also supported the market. The ProFarmer tour kicked off this weekend which has givenmarket bulls more to talk about this week. Ohio cornyields were estimated at 165.6 yesterday which issharply lower versus the USDA estimate of 176 seen onthe Supply and Demand report last Thursday. SouthDakota corn yields were estimated at 143.6 bushels peracre versus 148 from the USDA. Indiana corn yieldscame in at 167.1 compared to the USDA estimates of176. Pro Farmer reported Nebraska corn yields at 158.3bushels per acre versus the USDA expectation of 180.The Illinois corn yields came in at 166.5 bushels peracre versus the current USDA estimate of 180. Iowayields will be reported on Thursday. The tour has beena supportive item this week, but the estimates seemunrealistically low and it is important to note that thePro Farmer tour has underestimated final USDA yieldin 5 of the last 7 years. The weekly progress numbershad 74% of the crop in the dough stage versus only 38%last year and the 58% 5-year average. There was 32%dented versus the 22% 5-year average. Crop conditionsdropped to 69% good to excellent from 71% a week ago.On the December chart, support is down at $4.20 whichis the 10-day and resistance is up at last week’s high at$4.38. The weekly export sales came in at 594,900 tonsof old crop and 2.293 million tons of new; combined,they were nearly double expectations. Big sales likethis are very likely to continue with solid buying inter-est in this price area that is an indication prices maycontinue to go higher. Hedgers call with questions.
Chicago K City MinneapolisSupport: 630 649 665Resistance 780 772 772
Wheat trade has been lower this week due tocontinued long liquidation. The weekly netchanges are 46 lower on the Chicago Septembercontract, KC is 38 lower, and Minneapolis isdown 30. There continues to be global exportrhetoric about further export bans, whichshould limit downside, but uncertainty remainsthe key word here and a world weather marketis still in play. Spread trading has been the fea-ture this week which should continue near-term.The unwinding of long wheat versus shortcorn/bean spreads has limited upside in thewheat market, but there has also been buying ofKC and Minneapolis versus selling of Chicagocontracts. The Dec/ July spread in Chicago isback to trading at a carry after spending thepast seven days at an inverse. On the ChicagoSeptember contract, nearby support is downaround $6; the 40-day is at $5.97. Resistance isup around $6.80. The weekly 2010-11 exportsales report was above expectations at 1.412million tons which was positive, The cropprogress report had the winter wheat harvest9% from completion and spring wheat harvestwas listed at 34% complete versus the 44% 5-year average. The spring wheat harvest isexpected to move along with few problems thismonth. Hedgers call with questions. Expect veryactive and volatile trade to continue day to day.

November 2010 Wheat (CBOT) - Daily Chart
Soybean trade has been lower this week due to lightprofit taking by market longs. The weekly net changesare 8 lower on the September contract and Novemberis down 14. Meal is $4.70 higher and oil is down 166points for the week. The demand pace continues toremain friendly which should limit selling interest.Iowa State University also reported this week that upto 50% of the soybean crop in that state could beexposed to a fungus which can create sudden deathsyndrome in crops; this should also limit downside. Wedo typically see publicity on sudden death syndromeevery year, but its just usually not a meaningful per-centage of the crop. The Pro Farmer tour reported thatbean pod count was down 5% in Ohio, but up 28% inSouth Dakota. Indiana’s soybean pod count was 1,238per square yard versus 1,194 a year ago. The tourreported Illinois pod count at 1,308 pods per squareyard versus 1,102 a year go. The weekly crop progressreport had 97% of the crop blooming versus the 95% 5-year average, 84% setting pods versus the 81% aver-age. Dropping leaves numbers should start next week.The condition report had good to excellent ratingssteady with last week at 66%. The weekly sales werereported at 181,600 tons of old crop and 2.049 milliontons of new crop, which was near the high side ofexpectations. Meal sales were a combined 225k tonswhich was higher than expected and bean oil saleswere below expectations at 12,000 tons. The NOPAcrush for July was estimated at 124.2 million bushelsversus 126.2 in June and 120.9 million a year ago. Oilyields were unchanged from June at 11.2 millionpounds, but this was bigger than expected. Hedgerscall with questions.

Becoming involved in children's 4-H activitiesis a great way for families to grow and develop.Whether parents are attending club meetings orteaching their children about animal care, rock-etry or entrepreneurship, they are helping tobuild stronger relationships and families.
Research shows that young people need caringrelationships with adults to help them grow anddevelop positively. Parents can build these rela-tionships by becoming involved in their children's4-H activities. Grandparents, aunts, uncles andother extended family members should becomeinvolved too because they also play importantroles in the lives of children.
4-H'ers participate in a variety of individualand group projects, and family members can be apart of these learning experiences. If a partici-pant is enrolled in foods and nutrition, a familymember can teach them proper food safety. Thiscan then easily become a part of daily life. Justinteracting and communicating can help familymembers learn more about each other and growcloser.
Families can also benefit from participating in4-H community service projects. They can helpwith a food drive by donating some supplies fromtheir own cupboards, asking neighbors for dona-tions or making a cash donation to the local foodpantry. What matters is that families do theseactivities together. Not only will family membershave fun, but they will help their community andgrow closer together, all at little or no cost.
Families should contact the youth developmentworker at their local 4-H office for more ideas onhow to become involved in 4-H.
4-H Offers Opportunities for Family Growth
Kim Bearnes, Extension EducatorUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln
More than 11,000 Nebraskan 4-H'ers areinvolved in projects with livestock and companionanimals. While many of these animals will be dis-played at the show ring during the NebraskaState Fair, there are many other options for 4-H'ers who wish to display their knowledge andlearn even more about animals.
– The all-around team competition tests groupsof three to four members on their knowledge ofthe beef, sheep and dairy species. The teams com-pete in skill-a-thon stations focusing on nutri-tion, reproduction, meats and general animalcare. Each team must then groom one animal forshow.
– Contestants in the premier exhibitor competi-tion participate in a skill-a-thon, knowledge quiz,interview and the showmanship competition.They are judged on their familiarity with eitherthe beef, sheep, dairy or swine species.
– 4-H'ers can also demonstrate their knowledgeof dog breeds and proper care and handling tech-niques at the state fair's dog skill-a-thon.
– The state fair is not the only place where 4-H'ers can work with their animals. The secondannual dog expo will be held in Hastings inNovember. Contestants will be judged on theirknowledge of grooming, care, behavior training,health and nutrition.
– 4-H also hosts two Big Red summer campsevery June on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's East Campus. One is about companionanimals and the other about veterinary science.Campers spend time in the classroom, but theyalso spend time in the field and laboratories.
Regardless of which animal activities 4-H'ersjoin, 4-H works to increase Nebraskans' knowl-edge of animals and help them discover careeropportunities available in animal science andanimal care.

The Nebraska Department of NaturalResources (DNR) will receive a $350,000 grantfrom the Bureau of Reclamation’s Basin StudyProgram to study water management options inthe Niobrara River Basin.
DNR Director Brian Dunnigan said, “I ampleased that the Department’s basin study pro-posal for the Niobrara River basin was selectedas one of only six projects from across the sev-enteen state region. My staff and I look for-ward to working closely with the basin stake-holders and the Bureau of Reclamation todevelop tools and a complete analysis that will
assist the stakeholders in effectively managingthe water resources of the basin.”
The Niobrara River Basin study is one of sixprojects that the Bureau will fund in 2010. Thepurpose of the study will be to provide the foun-dational water supply and demand informationfor evaluation and implementation of watermanagement options for the basin. Evaluationof management options will include impacts toboth the water supply and the economy of theregion.
The study region will include the NiobraraRiver from its headwaters in Wyoming to its
confluence with the Missouri River in north-east Nebraska. The project proposal receivedsupport from a large group of basin stakehold-ers, including the Upper Niobrara-WhiteNatural Resources District, the Upper ElkhornNatural Resources District, the AinsworthIrrigation District, the Nebraska Public PowerDistrict, the National Park Service, the Fishand Wildlife Service, the Nebraska Game andParks Commission, and the State of Wyoming.
The study will begin immediately, with proj-ect completion expected in two years.

Based on August 1 conditions, Nebraska’scorn crop is forecast at 1.54 billion bushels, 2percent below last year’s record production butstill the second largest of record, according toUSDA’s National Agricultural StatisticsService, Nebraska Field Office. Area to be har-vested for grain, at 8.55 million acres, is down3 percent from a year ago. Yield is forecast at arecord high 180 bushels per acre, 2 bushelsabove the previous high set last year. “Abovenormal rainfall throughout much of the grow-ing season has benefitted dryland areas, result-ing in excellent yield prospects. This combinedwith irrigated corn prospects which are abovehistoric norms has contributed to the excellentyield forecast,” said Joseph Parsons, Director ofthe Nebraska Field Office.
Soybean production in Nebraska is forecastat 284 million bushels, 9 percent above lastyear and highest of record. Area for harvest, at5.35 million acres, is up 12 percent from 2009.Yield is forecast at 53 bushels per acre, down1.5 bushels from last year’s high but still thesecond largest of record.
Nebraska’s 2010 winter wheat crop is forecastat 68.4 million bushels, down 2 percent fromlast month’s forecast and 11 percent below lastyear’s crop. Area for grain, at 1.52 millionacres, is unchanged from last month but 5 per-cent below last year. Yield is forecast at 45bushels per acre, down 1 bushel from lastmonth and 3 bushels below last year’s recordhigh.
Sorghum yield is forecast at 94 bushels peracre, up 1 bushel from last year. Production isforecast at 6.1 million bushels, down 53 percentfrom a year ago, a result of fewer acres planted.Oat yield is forecast at 70 bushels per acre, 1bushel above last year. Production of 2.1 mil-lion bushels is 1 percent above last year. Dryedible bean production is up 48 percent fromlast year, largely due to more acres planted.Sugarbeet production is down 13 percent from2009. Alfalfa hay production is forecast to be 4percent above last year and all other hay pro-duction is unchanged.
Nebraska's 2010 Corn and Soybean Prospects Excellent
By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub
Special property taxes collected by the LowerRepublican Natural Resources District in 2007and held in escrow since they were ruledunconstitutional by the Nebraska SupremeCourt will be invested in Republican RiverCompact compliance measures.
That contrasts with decisions by the Middleand Upper Republican NRDs to use theirescrow money for fiscal year 2010-2011 budgetsand not collect any property taxes for a year.
"I think the overall consensus is that thereare a lot of expenses for compliance-relatedactivities. We have to get it somehow. So do yougive it (taxes) back and then collect it againlater?" asked LRNRD General Manager MikeClements about his board's approach.
The money involved was from a special prop-erty tax authorized for the three NRDs in 2007by the Nebraska Legislature. That tax plus anoccupation tax of up to $10 per irrigated acrewere to provide funding mechanisms for theNRDs to purchase surface water from irriga-tion districts in 2007 to augment streamflowsto Kansas for compact compliance.
Court challenges meant the districts couldn'tissue bonds to pay the irrigation districts, sothe state loaned them the $8.5 million to paythat debt.
The state Supreme Court ruled that the spe-cial property tax was unconstitutional, butNRD officials couldn't find a legal way torefund the money directly to taxpayers.
In approving a FY2011 budget for a Sept. 9public hearing, the LRNRD board decided tokeep the property tax asking for the generalfund the same as last fiscal year, at $760,100.Clements said the 4.32-cents-per-$100 valua-tion may drop some because of expectedincreases in property valuations.
A primary use of the $670,000 from theLB701 escrow fund will be to provide the localmatches for more than $4.5 million in recentlyawarded multi-year federal grants from theU.S. Department of Agriculture's NaturalResources Conservation Service.
The first-year money from those grants isreflected in an increase to the total budget from$4,548,793 in FY2010 to $6,221,791 forFY2011.
A three-year $625,315 CooperativeConservation Partnership Initiative grant willhelp pay for soil moisture sensors to improvefarmers' irrigation use timing.
An Agricultural Water Enhancement
Program grant for a planned five-year, $5 mil-lion effort to retire irrigated acres will pay $4million, while the NRD contributes $1 million."We feel that's a very good investment,"Clements said.
Occupation taxesThe state Supreme Court is expected to rule
soon on the constitutionality of the LB701 occu-pation tax.
Clements said the LRNRD collected$1,850,844 in 2007 - $5.20 per irrigated acre -that's in escrow. One option for the money is topay part of the LRNRD's $2,223,260 share ofthe 2007 state loan.
A legislative fix of legal issues with theLB701 occupation tax earlier this year allowsmore NRDs to use it as a funding option.
Clements said the LRNRD board decidedThursday to charge a $5-per-acre occupationtax for FY2011 budget to start building a com-pensation account if farmers near theRepublican River are required to shut off wellsin dry years for compact compliance.
The Upper and Middle Republican NRDsrecently approved changes in integrated watermanagement plans with the NebraskaDepartment of Natural Resources that includesuch restrictions. The LRNRD and DNR contin-ue to exchange drafts of plan updates,Clements said.
He said the overall goal for his district is tomaintain the region's economic viability.
"A drastic shutoff of 47,000 acres (those clos-est to the river) in our district would just becatastrophic," Clements said. "... For some guyson the edge, one year would put them under."
Instead, LRNRD officials are trying to usegrants and the escrow funds to promote a vol-
untary irrigated acre reduction program andwater conservation efforts to avoid more drasticmeasures in dry years. Clements said that ifsome well shutdowns in dry years still arerequired, the occupation tax-funded accountcould provide some compensation.
"Anything that we can do to promote conser-vation and reduce consumptive use is going tobe good for everyone in our district," he said.
Compact meetingEarlier, Clements had attended the annual
Republican River Compact Administrationmeeting in Burlington, Colo. He said the waterreports required of Colorado, Nebraska andKansas officials were made, but the meetingwas otherwise uneventful.
That was expected given Kansas officials'request that the U.S. Supreme Court revisit theKansas v. Nebraska lawsuit over compact com-pliance.
"When you have attorneys sitting up at thetable with all three states, you know that noone is gonna have too much to say," Clementssaid.

Even with early spring rains reducing somegrasshopper numbers this summer, late seasongrasshopper activity has been high in manyparts of Nebraska, especially the Panhandle, aUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln entomologistsays.
With wheat harvest finishing up, many wheatgrowers soon will start to get ready for winterwheat planting, said Jeff Bradshaw, UNLExtension entomologist.
However, it's important to remember thatgrasshoppers can make emerging wheatseedlings their next meal.
"The risk increases the closer we get to falland more grasshoppers are adults," Bradshawsaid. Some growers may want to plant earlierthis year because last year wheat crops weredamaged by October snow storms. However, theproblem with earlier planting, in addition towheat streak mosaic, is the seedlings also aremore susceptible to grasshoppers.
The same goes for alfalfa. August is an excel-lent time to plant alfalfa if conditions are wet.However, it is important to watch out forgrasshoppers, said Bruce Anderson, UNLExtension hay and forage specialist.
Although grasshopper populations declinethrough the late summer and fall, they canremain significant enough to cause damageuntil the first hard freeze.
Growers should monitor grasshopper densi-ties and use a seed treatment on wheat,Bradshaw said.
To save money, growers can plant a 60-footborder in their fields with the treated wheat,
and the other without to create an insecticide-treated border.
Densities in the range of 11 to 20 grasshop-pers per square yard is enough to cause signif-icant loss in winter wheat.
When it comes to alfalfa, if growers find morethan two or three grasshoppers per square yardin the field to be planted or more than 10grasshoppers per square yard in field margins,treatment with insecticides probably will help,Anderson said.
Other options to help reduce the risk and/ormanage grasshopper problems in winter wheatinclude:
– Avoid early planting in areas of highgrasshopper activity. Planting higher riskfields near the end of the optimum plantingwindow will reduce the time period that a fieldwill need to be protected from grasshoppers inthe fall.
– Increase the seeding density of wheat infield margins. This may compensate for partialstand loss and allow for a reasonable standafter grasshopper damage has run its course.
– Neonicotinoid seed treatments can provideprotection from emergence, and treatment caneasily be limited to treating only the field mar-gins to reduce costs. These treatments will beeffective for moderate grasshopper densities,but they will likely not hold up under severegrasshopper pressure. These seed treatmentsare only available through a certified seedtreater so advanced planning is necessarywhen ordering seed. Also, to be effective thehighest registered rate of product must be
applied to the seed.– Several foliar insecticides can be used to
treat wheat for grasshopper control; however,treatment of the emerging wheat crop willresult in little residual activity of the productbecause of the restricted leaf area for insecti-cide deposition.
Other options to help reduce the risk and/ormanage grasshopper populations in alfalfainclude:
– Treat field margins before new alfalfaseedlings begin to emerge to head off potentialinvasions. If the surrounding area is a non-croparea, the best treatments to control adultgrasshoppers would be Warrior (or other lamb-da-cyhalothrin products) and Asana (or otheresfenvalerate products.) If the area surround-ing the field is pasture, the best products wouldbe Warrior or Mustang MAX. Warrior is theonly product that can be used in non-cropareas, pasture, alfalfa or wheat.
– Several other insecticides also help controlgrasshoppers in field margins as well as in theseeded field itself. Pyrethroids like Baythroid,Warrior and Mustang are labeled for grasshop-per control on alfalfa.
"Whenever using any insecticides, be espe-cially careful to avoid injuring bee and otherimportant pollinating insects," Anderson said."Time of day when spraying, using less toxicinsecticides and avoiding areas with bloomingplants are some precautions to take to protectbees."
With all insecticides, be sure to carefully readand follow all label directions.

An Omaha family’s dream getaway is now aviable southwest Iowa organic farming operationafter a few years of hard work, the help of a localexpert, and the USDA’s Organic Initiative to makefinancial and technical assistance available toproducers of all commodities.
The Konstantinovs found the undeveloped 102-acre farm of rolling hills in April 2006, about atwo-hour drive from Omaha tucked away fivemiles southeast of Clarinda. Andre Konstantinov,a software engineer, who moved to the United
States from Moscow, Russia, says he always want-ed his very own dacha, a Russian expression for ahome in the country.
He says most people in Moscow live in high riseapartments. He and his wife, Liz, were looking toreplicate a dacha, with a cabin, a small garden,and a lot of open green space. “We weren’t consid-ering farming at all – maybe just a kitchen gar-den,” said Liz.
The Konstantinovs have four children, rangingin ages from 9 to 21. They built a couple small cab-ins, a composting area, and other facilities asplanned the first year, and named the placeDouble K Farms.
A New Adventure – Organic Farming
With their passion for organics, and after build-ing a good relationship with several organic pro-ducers in the area, they decided they wanted tofarm the land organically.
Before planting anything, Andre and Liz metwith Kevin McCall, district conservationist withUSDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) in Page County. McCall assembled a con-servation plan for their farm – a tool to help themto better manage the natural resources on their

Sorghum farmers are invited to attend the2010 Sorghum Field Day to be heldWednesday, September 8 at Blue Hill, NE.The event starts at 5:00 PM with a tour of theHybrid Demonstration Plot located 3 milessouth of Blue Hill on Highway 281, then ½mile east on Highway 4 – on the north side ofthe road. From Lawrence, the plot is located9 ½ miles west on Highway 4. The plot isclearly marked with a 4’ x 8’ NeGSPA sign.The plot is sponsored annually by theNebraska Grain Sorghum ProducersAssociation, UNL Cooperative Extension, theNebraska Grain Sorghum Board, participat-ing seed companies, and agri business. Thisyear’s sponsorship also includes the UnitedSorghum Checkoff Program.
“We’ll have representatives from the com-mercial seed companies on hand to discusstheir plot entries,” said Kenneth Herz,NeGSPA Director and Plot Coordinator.“Farmers will be able to see and evaluate fieldperformance for themselves.”
“Sorghum is often grown in areas wherewater is limited due to its ability to be morewater efficient,” says Jenny Rees, UNLExtension Educator. “This project, funded bythe Nebraska Grain Sorghum Board, is a sideby side comparison study to quantify anddemonstrate water uptake by three differentcrops – corn, soybeans and grain sorghum.The data gleaned from the project will help usunderstand crop water use under normalrainfall conditions.”
A dinner, featuring sorghum cookies fordessert, will be served at 6:30 PM. Theevening program will also include remarks byBill Greving, Prairie View, KS, Chairman ofthe Board of the United Sorghum CheckoffProgram, to provide an update on the nation-al sorghum checkoff.
“The checkoff officially began in July 2008,”stated Herz. “Producers will have the oppor-tunity to hear firsthand what the programhas accomplished and their plans for thefuture to improve the profitability of sorghumproducers.”
Sorghum Field Day Set for Blue Hillfarm. “We had no idea who NRCS was,” said Liz.
“Kevin laid out how to keep the water clean andhow to reduce soil erosion. We felt we knew theland better, field by field, after talking to him andputting a conservation plan together.”
In 2007, Andre planted organic corn for the firsttime on their 30 tillable acres. Liz says the familyhas always felt strongly about chemical-free foods.They had that in mind when they bought the farm.“It is a getaway, a garden, and a farm, but it is alsoa concept project for us,” she says. “We have amotto of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ in all that we dohere.”
Dan Wood, an organic seed distributor fromnearby New Market, soon became the family’smentor for organic farming. “We got lucky and metDan when we first moved here,” said Liz. “Danhelped us decide what types of seeds to plant,where to get them, and how to plant them – hewas great.”
The family earned double the price of conven-tional corn the first year. In year two and three,they switched to organic wheat. Liz says theyearned about $16 per bushel in 2008, but just $6per bushel in 2009. With the market for organiccrops down, they decided to let the land rest thisyear, and planted clover and grass for hay. “Wequickly grew tired of the annual crop because ofall the work it involves,” said Liz. The family wasstill at home in Omaha during the week, andspending weekends on the farm.
Organic Produce A Hit
While Andre farmed the land, Liz started herorganic vegetable garden. A growing market fororganic fruits, vegetables, and other produce isallowing this part of the operation to thrive. Lizgrows asparagus, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers,squash, potatoes, eggplant, garlic, raspberries,and she specializes in herbs. She and Andre alsoplanted two acres of aronia berries in 2009.
Liz says she can stay as busy as she wants try-ing to keep up with the demand for fresh organicproduce. After marketing her produce at the
Omaha Farmers Market and through CommunitySupported Agriculture (CSA), she decided to cutback to be at home in Omaha more often duringthe week. Currently, she sells her produce toTomâto Tomäto, a year-round indoor farmer’s mar-ket in Omaha.
High Tunnel Help
The next project for the Konstantinovs is tobuild a seasonal high tunnel for crops. High tun-nels – or hoop houses – are polyethylene-coveredstructures that help extend the growing seasonwith more favorable growing conditions for veg-etable and other specialty crop growers. They ben-efit natural resources by improving plant, soil andwater quality by reducing pesticide use and keep-ing vital nutrients in the soil.
High tunnels are used year-round in parts of thecountry, providing steady incomes to farmers – asignificant advantage to small, limited-resourcefarmers and organic producers. These structuresshould not exceed a 30 foot width, and should beat least six feet tall to allow cultivation, harvest-ing, and other farming operations.
Iowa NRCS is going to fund the Konstantinovshigh tunnel through the Environmental QualityIncentives Program (EQIP) Organic Initiative.The Organic Initiative offers already-certifiedorganic producers assistance for applying newconservation practices to treat natural resourceconcerns, and offers participants transitioning toorganic agriculture assistance to protect naturalresources while meeting their organic certificationgoals.
Liz says the high tunnel will allow her to expandproduction of herbs and peppers. “I have been con-sidering a high tunnel for a couple years,” shesaid. “It will make that piece of land really niceand provide warmth in the off season when weneed it.”

Reports of stink bugs in Nebraska corn andsoybean have been increasing the last fewyears. In the past, stink bugs have not beenconsidered a significant pest of corn or soybeanin Nebraska, but they are economic pests to avariety of crops in the southern United States.
Over the last five to ten years there appearsto be a general trend of increasing stink bugpopulations in more northern states, includingNebraska. Because stink bugs were only anoccasional pest in seedling corn in Nebraska,we do not have well researched stink bug man-agement recommendations. Therefore, theNebraska Soybean Board funded a study toassess the damage potential for stink bugs inNebraska and to develop a stink bug integratedpest management program.
Nebraska Stink Bugs
The major stink bug species in Nebraska arethe brown stink bug, the one-spotted stink bug(Euschistus variolarius), and the green stinkbug. In general, adult green stink bugs arebright green, and adult brown stink bugs arebrown with a yellow or light green underside.Green stink bug nymphs change color and pat-tern as they grow, but brown stink bug nymphsare yellow to tan with brown spots down thecenter of the abdomen. The one-spotted stinkbug looks similar to the brown stink bug,except it has a small spot on the underside ofthe abdomen.
Recent surveys (2009-2010) indicate severalother economically important stink bug speciesare present in Nebraska. These include red-shouldered stink bugs and dormant stink bugs(Holcostethus limbolarius). In addition, thespined soldier bug (Podisus maculiventrus) hasbeen collected. This is a beneficial insect pred-ator. Ongoing studies will determine howimportant these species are to Nebraska crops.
General Biology
Adult stink bugs overwinter primarily in leaflitter, under bark, or in wood piles. We believethat the green stink bug migrates north. We
typically begin to find the green stink bug inJuly. Brown and one-spotted stinkbugs, as wellas the other recently collected species, appearto overwinter in Nebraska.
In the spring, adult stink bugs leave the over-wintering sites and feed on a variety of wildand cultivated hosts. Early spring samplingindicates brown and one spotted stink bugsprevalent in alfalfa and wheat. After feeding afew days, stink bugs mate and lay clusters ofeggs. As the season progresses, female stinkbugs are attracted to a variety of floweringplants, including corn and soybean. There arelikely one to two generations in Nebraska,depending on species.
Stink Bug Injury
Stink bugs have piercing and sucking mouth-parts and feed by piercing a plant part (oranother insect in the case of the spined soldierbug), injecting digestive enzymes, and remov-ing fluids.
Nymphs and adult stink bugs injure repro-ductive stage corn by piercing the husk andfeeding on the developing kernels from thebeginning of kernel formation through milkstage, although they can feed through the harddough stage. Damage appears as missing orshrunken kernels. Severe damage causes earsto curve (banana ears).
Nymphs and adult stink bugs injure soybeansby puncturing various soybean plant parts andextracting plant fluids. They prefer young ten-der growth and developing seeds. As they feedthey inject digestive enzymes, which causedeformation and abortion of seeds and pods,and predispose the feeding site to variouspathogens. In addition, stink bugs can causedelayed maturity and deformed leaf growth.Yield and quality losses depend on when thebugs injure soybean, and can be severe.
Injury in either corn or soybean often appearsfirst on field borders as the stink bugs moveinto the field. With time the stink bugs canmove throughout the field.
Stink Bug Management
In general, thresholds are based on counts oflarge nymphs and adults, as those are the mostdamaging stages. Green stink bugs are morenumerous in soybeans and brown stink bugsmore numerous in corn, but don’t be surprisedto find a mix of species.
For Soybeans
Thresholds for stink bugs on soybeans varyconsiderably by state, and also do not explicitlyconsider variable costs of control or marketvalue. They range from 0.3 per ft-row (Illinois)to 3 per ft-row (Wisconsin), or 0.2 per sweep(Indiana) to 6 per sweep (Ohio) and are not con-sistent with respect to timing, row spacing, orsoybean use (seed or grain). The most commonthreshold for stink bug in soybeans is 1per row-ft during the reproductive stages. If thresholdsare met, the standard insecticides registeredfor soybean should be effective.
For Field Corn
Florida recommends that “for corn in theearly silk through milk stage, treatment maybe justified when there is 1 stink bug per 5plants. From the end of milk through the harddough stages treatment may be justified whenthere is an average of 1 stink bug per plant.Only stink bugs 1/4 inch or longer should beconsidered when determining thresholds.”
Georgia advises that “corn is most sensitiveto stink bug injury during ear elongation beforepollen shed. The treatment threshold at thisstage is one bug per four plants (25% infestedplants). Once pollination occurs, feedingthrough the husk causes damage to individualkernels. Kernels are susceptible to damage upuntil the milk stage (R3) and possibly earlydough stage (R4). The threshold at this time isone bug per two plants (50% infested plants).”

No doubt you have noticed by now that we arein the midst of a cricket invasion. The crea-tures gather abundantly at night in well light-ed areas. These might include any location(e.g., gas or service station or downtown com-mercial business) that is well lighted.
The species in question is the striped groundcricket, Nemobius faciatus. It is smaller (aboutone-half inch long) than the field cricket and isgray to brown in color with tapering wings. It isa strong flier and, as stated earlier, highlyattracted to lights. Ground crickets commonlyare found in wooded areas, meadows and pas-ture. They resemble house crickets but aremuch smaller. Their songs are soft, high-pitched, pulsating trills or buzzes. Groundcrickets invade homes in the fall especiallyafter harvest or hay cutting in rural areas.
Common Nebraska Crickets – There are sixspecies of crickets commonly found inNebraska: 1) field crickets, 2) ground crickets,3) house crickets, 4) mole crickets, 5)camel/cave crickets and 6) tree crickets.
Description and Life Cycle – Crickets belongto the order Orthoptera, as do grasshoppers.Generally, insects in this group have enlargedhind legs (except mole crickets) adapted forjumping. They also have opaque leather-likeforewings that cover a pair of clear, membra-nous hind wings. Most crickets are nocturnalwhile their grasshopper relatives are activeonly during the day. Crickets have adapted to awide range of habitats and thus are diverse informs and colors. They are omnivorous, feedingon plants, fruits, decaying organic matter, andeven live and dead insects. Crickets usuallyhave very long antennae and a “boxlike”appearance, because their wings are foldedsharply over the side of the body. Female crick-ets have long, spear-shaped ovipositors, usedfor egg-laying.
Crickets sometimes are confused with cock-roaches, especially Oriental cockroaches or
“water bugs.” However, crickets are distin-guished from cockroaches by their enlargedhind legs, and their bodies are not flattenedfrom top to bottom like those of cockroaches.
Male crickets sing to attract mates throughrhythmic chirps or trills by either rubbing onewing against another or a leg against a wing.This process is called “stridulation.” Eachspecies has a characteristic chirp that is recog-nized and responded to only by females of thesame species.
Once the female cricket has mated, she seeksloose, pliable soil in which to deposit her eggs.The ovipositor is then thrust into the groundand 150-400 eggs are deposited. Unlikegrasshoppers, the eggs are laid singly, and arenot cemented together in “pods.” The over-win-tered eggs hatch in May and June and theyoung crickets (nymphs) climb to the soil sur-face. They closely resemble adults, but they aresmaller and do not have fully developed wingsor functional sexual organs.
Most crickets mature in August andSeptember, and there is normally one genera-tion each year.
Damage – Crickets have been known to dam-age plant seedlings, seeds of grain crops, alfal-fa, strawberries, tomatoes and other vegetablecrops. They also can damage stored tubers orfruits. In hay meadows, crickets can chewthrough bale twine. On a positive side, cricketsoften eat a large number of other insects, someof which are crop pests.
In homes and commercial buildings, cricketssometimes chew on clothing, draperies or furni-ture upholstery. They particularly like fabricscontaining organic materials such as cotton,silk and wool, but occasionally may damagesynthetic fibers such as nylon, rayon, etc. Thisis more likely to occur when preferred food islimited or unavailable.
Control Strategies (Non Chemical) – Whentemperatures begin to fall in late summer,crickets often enter structures and annoyhumans by making unpleasant chirping noises.A single cricket or few crickets can be killedwith a fly swatter or broom. Reduce hidingplaces around the perimeter of homes andbuildings to discourage build up of cricket pop-ulations. Removal of dense vegetation, loosebricks, boards, wood piles and other debrisminimizes hiding places. Deny entry to cricketsin homes by sealing cracks and gaps around thefoundation, loose-fitting doorways andhose/wire entrance points.
Chemical – Insecticides registered for cricketcontrol are available in various formulationssuch as aerosols, baits, dusts, granules, emusi-fiable concentrates (EC), soluble concentrates(SC) and wettable powders (WP). Insecticideproducts available locally may contain activeingredients as follows: bifenthrin, cyfluthrin,cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate,permethrin and pyrethrins.
If the cricket problem persists, you may beadvised to call a commercial pest control com-pany professional. Always read and follow thelabel when using pesticides.
Cricket Invasion
By Colleen Barry, Associated Press
Giorgio Fidenato has made a habit of carryinga raw ear of yellow corn and taking a hearty bitewhenever a camera is in sight.
It’s a provocation. The Italian farmer’s corn isgenetically modified, grown surreptitiously infields in the northeast not far from the Austrianand Slovene borders.
“Our biggest goal is to show consumers that itis safe to eat,” said the 49-year-old advocate ofwhat’s known as genetically modified organisms,or GMOs.
More activist than farmer, Fidenato’s cultiva-tion of nearly 5 hectares, or 12 acres, of geneti-cally modified corn is a rogue act aimed at forc-ing the legalization of genetically engineeredcrops in Italy. He waxes on about their benefits:They require fewer chemicals and produce high-er yields and greater profits.
Fidenato faces formidable opposition in Italy.His opponents are angry, organized and, in somecases, equally prepared to take the law intotheir own hands. Unlike Americans, the vastmajority of Europeans are staunchly against themarketing of genetically modified foods.
Arrayed against Fidenato are agriculture offi-cials, who put a moratorium on genetically mod-ified seeds in March, the country’s main farmlobby, consumer groups, environmentalists andanti-globalization protesters.
“Violating the law to get the debate going is avery dangerous precedent,” said RobertoBurdese, president of Slow Food Italy, one of 20organizations that have banded together to keepgenetically modified food out of the country.
The European Commission announced in Julya proposal that would allow the 27 memberstates to have the final word on whether to allowcultivation of genetically altered food withintheir own borders. That would likely lead tomore bans because countries would no longer berequired to back up their rulings with new scien-tific data.
The announcement was bad news for Fidenato,though by then his corn was knee-high.
The genetically modified corn, produced by St.Louis-based Monsanto, was the only geneticallymodified seed authorized for commercial cultiva-tion in Europe until March, when a potato seedsold by the German company BASF wasapproved. Besides the moratorium in Italy, theseed has been banned in at least six countries,including France, Germany and Austria.
Tired of legal battles, Fidenato planted thecorn on April 25, Italy’s national Liberation day.
He posted a video on YouTube showing himplanting six seeds, but he didn’t disclose that hehad in fact planted two fields. That only cameout when anonymous letters containing pieces ofthe plants reached prosecutors in July, raisingopponents’ suspicions that there could still beothers. He won’t say where he got the seeds.
Word spread about the crop, and on Aug. 9about 70 anti-GMO activists wearing chemicalprotection suits trampled nearly an acre of cornto the ground.
“The pity is they should have waited 10 days,and it would have been ready to make polenta,”Fidenato said, referring to the corn meal that isa dietary mainstay in northern Italy.
The leader of the corn bandits, astrophysicistLuca Tornatore, argued there is enough uncer-tainty surrounding the health and environmen-tal risks posed by GMOs to make them undesir-able.
Tornatore said his group grew frustrated thatprosecutors, who have sequestered the fields,had not destroyed the crops despite a 2001Italian law that forbids their cultivation.
The protesters also would like to destroy the 41/2 hectares Fidenato has planted in anothertown, but “we don’t know where it is,” Tornatoreacknowledged.
Fidenato responded that genetically modifiedcorn has been legal in Italy since it was added tothe European Union’s catalog of authorizedcrops 12 years ago. And he pointed to a decisionby an administrative court in Rome, which ruledthat the agriculture ministry cannot decline to
authorize the seeds out of caution. The ruling resulted from a three-year court
battle waged by Silvano Dalla Libera, a neigh-boring farmer in the northeastern region ofFriuli, where Fidenato’s fields are located.
The former agriculture minister, Luca Zaia,along with the health and environment minis-ters, responded to the administrative decision byputting a moratorium on GMOs in March. Therewas a risk nearby fields could be contaminated,they said.
“To stop me, one poor farmer, three ministriesmobilized,” Dalla Libera said with a hint ofpride.
Fidenato began farming when he was 12 andnow has about 70 acres. He became persuaded ofthe merits of genetically altered crops during atrip to the United States in the 1990s and helpedfound Futuragra, a group of farmers fighting forGMOs.
By planting the corn, he risks up to threeyears in jail and a fine of 0x12850,000.
Fidenato said he’s not bothered by the threatof prosecution. Futuragra has been in touch withfarmers in Spain, which has the highest concen-tration of genetically modified corn in Europe,and France, where it has been banned, to pressthe battle.
“If they don’t understand it is an EU right,that we don’t need authorization, then I havefarmers in the entire Po River valley, fromPiedmont to Veneto, who will plant GMO corn,”Fidenato said.

All summer the North Platte River has been car-rying an abundance of water downstream. It hasbeen beneficial as well as harmful, providingenough water for irrigation, but swamping base-ments and crops in other areas.
Soon, area ag producers will begin shuttingdown irrigation for the year. This will generatemore questions for water managers, who mustdeal with the excess water when most of the reser-voir storage space is still full.
The entire system from Seminoe Reservoirnortheast of Sinclair, Wyo., to Lake McConaughyis full, or so close there isn't much difference. Thesummer has been a total turnaround from thepast eight or nine years when drought caused theriverbed to be dry in many places.
The Aug. 1 report from the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation office in Mills, Wyo., shows that Julyinflow was above average for all major NorthPlatte reservoirs except Pathfinder. Pathfindergained 8,800 acre-feet or 91 percent of the 30-yearaverage of 9,700 acre-feet. Seminoe picked up121,400 acre-feet in July, or 121 percent of the 30-year average.
Storage levels in the reservoirs are well aboveaverage, due to heavy snowmelt and unusuallylarge amounts of spring precipitation. SeminoeReservoir has 957,000 acre-feet, or 135 percent ofthe 30-year average. Pathfinder holds 921,400acre-feet, or 158 percent of the 30-year average.Between the two, there is a storage capacity of 2,034,000 acre-feet.
North Platte Irrigation project ownershipstands at 1,062,100 acre-feet, 150 percent of the30-year average.
With these levels on hand, local irrigation dis-
tricts are deciding what to do as the end of thenormal irrigation season approaches. According toDennis Strauch, general manager of thePathfinder Irrigation District at Mitchell, userdemand will decide when the water quits flowingin the canals. The PID board will meet Sept. 9,when it will probably make the final decision.Strauch said that could be Sept. 20, but that is nota definite date. "It will run until the users disap-pear," Strauch said.
He noted that enough water has been movedthat the Glendo Reservoir flood pool is now empty,but there still is about 70,000 acre-feet of excesswater in the system.
"We haven't even gone into storage yet," Strauchsaid. This means that the water used this summerhas not counted against the supply held in storageby the districts.
Water Users Begin Planning for End of Irrigation season

In recent years there has been a trend towardusing cash rental agreements to leaseNebraska farmland. While many of thesetransactions have been negotiated and record-ed in a contract format, there are still a num-ber of landowners that continue to rely on oralagreements to lease their land.
In the State of Nebraska, oral leases are pre-sumed to run from year-to-year with an auto-matic renewal unless proper notice of termina-tion is given. The Nebraska Supreme Courthas ruled through case law that while tenancyon farmland runs from March 1st to March 1st,notice of change to an oral lease agreementmust be given 6 months in advance. Thismeans that if you currently have an oral con-tract with a land tenant, notice of change in theterms of tenancy must be provided bySeptember 1st of the year proceeding the crop-ping year. Thus, if you wish to terminate anoral contract for farmland to be rented in 2011,notice of the termination must be given to thecurrent tenant by September 1, 2010. In legalterms, if there is a need to renegotiate therental price for a parcel of ground held underan oral lease, then the old lease must be termi-nated and a new agreement constructed. Ifproper notice of termination is not given by theSeptember 1st deadline, then the lease is con-sidered valid for the next cropping year underthe previously agreed upon terms. Notice oftermination may be given verbally; however ifthere is a disagreement, verbal notices arehard to prove; therefore, it is recommendedthat notices of termination be sent via regis-tered mail. Case law has not defined what anotice of termination must include; however ifyou need help in drafting one, please contact anattorney.
For those using written contracts, the termi-nation date will be the last effective day of theagreement and requires no advance notice oftermination; even if the contract is for one yearor even five years. Many landowners or ten-ants will place a renewal clause into their con-tracts that states if a notice of termination isnot given within so many days of the expirationof the contract, then it automatically renewsfor one year under the previous terms and con-ditions. If a written contract expires withoutrenewal and the producer maintains tenancy,then the producer is technically trespassing onthe land. Removal of the tenant from theground requires that the landowner initiateseviction proceedings. If the tenant incurs anyexpenses on the land pursuant to the next cropand the landowner has failed to complete theeviction process, then the courts have ruledthat a hold-over lease is in play. A hold-overlease allows the tenant to farm the ground withthe terms previously identified in the expiredcontract. The landowner still maintains theburden of issuing a notice of termination 6months prior to the termination date of thehold-over lease. The hold-over lease termina-tion date will be one year beyond the contract'soriginal termination date. For example, if yourwritten contract expires on March 1, 2011, thenthe hold-over lease will expire on March 1,2012. If you are using a written contract, makesure to check to see if you have a renewalclause in place, or if you need to begin theprocess of renegotiating a new contract.
Even though an oral agreement ends onSeptember 1st of the year proceeding the crop-ping year and a written lease expires on thelast day of the effective agreement, changesmay still be made so long as they are agreed toby both parties. Thus, with an oral or writtencontract, changes may be made to the agree-ment at any time so long as both sides agree,
even if the termination date has passed. Forthe tenant with an oral agreement, it is often intheir best interest to at least enter into negoti-ations with a landowner to modify the terms ofthe contract after September 1st, otherwisethey may find they have no chance of renewalthe following year. It is recommended that anyand all contract changes, whether they arewritten or oral, be recorded in writing and sig-natures from all parties involved obtained forlegal protection.
Pasture oral leases have no requirement fortermination notice, so long as the oral contractperiod is for the traditional five-month grazingseason. If you are renting crop residues or pas-ture ground outside of the traditional grazing,it is recommended that you draft a written con-tract complete with terms and conditions foruse.
Regardless of the business arrangement, awell constructed written agreement shouldalways be used to protect the business, and inmany cases, the personal relationships of thoseinvolved.

By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald
For the first time in many years, Jay Grotedid not have any 4-H animal projects at theScotts Bluff County Fair, but he was busy atthe show ring anyway. The senior at ScottsBluff High School spent part of his timeannouncing events for swine, horses, goats andsmall animals, putting his 4-H as well as hisradio experience to use. Grote, 17, has been anannouncer on KNEB Radio since February2009, where he has developed a "radio voice,"and taken a liking to meteorology.
Grote said he was driving to school, andwanted a job, but not one of the traditionalhigh-stress environments in which teenagersusually have to work. He has always beeninterested in public speech, singing in pro-grams, and the announcers at the various rodeoevents he attended with his father over theyears.
"I always liked radio," Grote said on a recentafternoon. "Before we moved to town, out fixingfence, I'd have KNEB on. I always thought itwas cool." He also participated in 4-H RadioDays, and often accompanied his mother, KayGrote, when she did public service announce-ments for the North Platte Natural ResourcesDistrict where she works.
Grote and his father, Brad, finally took thebig step and went to the radio station where
they talked to the staff about his desire to workthere. "They decided they liked me, and I washired," he said. He had two weeks training, andwas then put on his own. "I sort of got a hold onthings, but I was nervous. I preferred recordingbecause if it wasn't right, I could erase it." Hedid have a notebook in which he kept a list ofthings he wanted to talk about, and this proveda major benefit in the beginning. He eventual-ly gained confidence and could do his job onSaturday and Sunday afternoons without usingit as a crutch. Then one day, he forgot the note-book, and discovered he could do without it.
He especially likes to do the weather on radio,and "...especially when it's bad," he admits. "Iget nervous, but I almost look forward to it."His duties include writing his own weatherforecasts to use during his shift on the air. Hesaid he gets the information from the weatherservice, and writes it for the audience, "...justlike Don Day does."
Husker football is also a favorite of his, but,even though he enjoys playing baseball, hedoesn't appreciate Rockies baseball, whichreally makes a slow afternoon long.
Most of his time at the fair announcer's tablewas interesting and enjoyable, Grote said. Hemissed not having 4-H projects there, but hefeels the experience he gained will be valuablein the future. He plans to take a few technolo-gy courses at Western Nebraska CommunityCollege, and go on to the University of
Oklahoma. He wants to explore opportunitiesin meteorology, broadcasting and computers.
"Ideally, I'd go into radio, and weather andcomputers. Dennis (Ernest at KNEB) told me tofind something that would make me valuable inradio, and those would."
Grote is also working on his "radio voice," onethat is "official, crisp and clear." He said he cantell the difference in his voice from when hestarted on radio, and practices around home --sometimes mimicking an announcer giving theprice of a soap bottle when helping load thedishwasher. "It's fun to play with your voice,"he said. "Like saying something funny in anofficial sounding voice."
Meanwhile, he is reserving time for nextyear's fair. Janna (Schwartz, 4-H Extensioneducator) has asked him to do the goat showagain, and if she throws in free food, as she didthis year, Grote said that is a sure cinch to geta 17-year-old volunteer.
His experience this year is a recommendationitself. "I really liked how smoothly it went,"Grote said of his announcing job. "Extensionpeople keep track of the kids, what's going on inthe ring, the tag numbers. They do a great jobof keeping it organized for me and the parentsso we know what is going on in the ring."
If other youth are interested in radio or relat-ed careers, Grote said they should let peopleknow. "If you let people know you like it, theywill give you a chance."

Nebraska Soybean Board September Board of Directors Meeting
Lawns face several threats this summer, buthomeowners should treat lawns carefully toavoid causing further damage, a University ofNebraska-Lincoln turfgrass specialist said.
"With the cool season grasses that we havealmost throughout the state of Nebraska, youoften can do more damage than good during theheat of the summer," said Zac Reicher, UNLExtension turfgrass specialist in the Instituteof Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Turfgrass roots did not grow as deep this yearbecause May and June's high moisture depletedthe soil of oxygen. Now, the heat of July andAugust has dried out the soil, and turfgrassdoes not have the deep root systems it needs toremain healthy.
"The soil dries out really fast, and since wehave shallow root systems, the turf shows signsof drought very quickly. It seems like it's almostovernight," Reicher said.
Shallow root systems and other disease prob-lems also can be caused by fungi. According toAmy Timmerman, coordinator of the Plant andPest Diagnostic Clinic, the brown grass typicalof summer patch is in lawns across the state.The grass browns because a fungus hasattacked its roots and prevented them fromgrowing as deep as they should have.
"The plants then can't get water deeper downin the soil when it's hot and dry, so they go intoearly dormancy," Timmerman said.
The grass usually greens right back up whenit rains in fall or spring, but summer patch cancause severe damage in isolated cases, Reichersaid.
Summer patch returns in the same spots eachyear, so homeowners can have fungicide com-mercially applied to their lawns in April andMay if they anticipate a problem. However,Timmerman recommends just reseeding thepatches with new varieties in the fall. This will

By Tom Holman, Extension Educator
By 1915, the Scotts Bluff ExperimentalSubstation (now the UNL Panhandle Researchand Extension Center) had facilities sufficientto begin dairy, swine, sheep and beef research.True to the land grant mission, livestock andrelated research centered around solving pro-duction issues of local producers.
A broad range of research projects has beenconducted since the earliest years, all of themaddressing producer problems and concerns.
Dairy research published in 1915 involvedsire selection for replacement females in localherds. Early in the 1920s the center was instru-mental in the development of a six-breed swinecomposite breed for improvement in carcassquality.
In 1949, sheep-feeding trials were concludedto compare beet tops with traditional expensivepelleted feeds. This resulted in using a cheapbyproduct of the sugar industry to reduce lambfeeding costs.
In 1951 winter hardiness of a landmark alfal-fa variety, Ranger, was tested at the researchcenter. Alfalfa variety tests continued from 1974to the present, along with weed control. In addi-tion, insect interactions (1976) and fertilizer tri-als (1977 and 1979) were conducted to improveyields. In 1978, innoculants were tested fortheir viability in harvesting alfalfa, and in 1982the effects of nematodes were tested.
In response to the dramatic expansion of cat-tle feeding in the Panhandle that occurred in1963, 1968 and again in 1980, primary livestockresearch investigated implants, supplementsand locally grown cheap feeds to improve cattleefficiency and reduce cost of gain in the feedingindustry.
In 2007 the UNL Panhandle Research Feedlotcompleted a significant expansion to continue tosolve producer problems in a state-of-the-artfacility. The cattle segment was and is still the
largest agricultural contributor to the economyof the Panhandle.
Implant research to improve weight gain andcontrol diseases began in 1951, and continues tothe present with initial testing and profitableuse of such industry standards as Bovatec,Rumensin, Ralgro, Synovex and Finaplex ongrowing and finished cattle.
Feed tests to reduce feed costs and improveweight gains were extensively and routinelyconducted on locally grown feeds. These feedsincluded corn silage, beet pulp, alfalfa silage,corn stalks, wheat straw, high moisture corn,dry beans and ammoniation of many feeds toimprove protein digestibility. The first pub-lished feed trials occurred in 1973 and continuetoday.
Beef herd health has been a priority for pro-ducers, and products commonly used today wereinitially tested at the center. These include min-eral, vitamin, and enzyme additives, antibiotic,viral and insecticide products injected andadded to feeds to improve livestock health andproducer income. The first of these improve-ment tests were conducted in 1973 and are stillan important part of the program.
Profitability and sustainability of the rangebeef cattle industry benefited from PanhandleCenter research. In 1969 the effects of differentstocking rates on native pasture were evaluat-ed, which identified benchmarks for grazingmanagement in western Nebraska. Anothergrazing study completed in 1976 measured theeffect of different breeds on western Nebraskanative ranges.
A detailed beef herd evaluation project provid-ed beef producers with a method of quantifyingprofits in comparison with other herds. Spayingand implant trials on heifers were conducted in1981 to improve feedlot gains. Recently, inresponse to the drought of the 1980s and 1990s,early weaning trials were conducted to improvecow health and measure the effects on calves.
Scottsbluff PREC 100 Livestock Research
Well into the evening of Aug. 5, 2010, theU.S. Senate reauthorized by unanimous con-sent the Livestock Mandatory PriceReporting Act (LMPR), which was set toexpire Sept. 30 of this year. Colin Woodall,vice president of government affairs for theNational Cattlemen's Beef Association(NCBA), said the reauthorization will contin-ue to encourage transparency in the market-place. He said producers have come to rely onthe information provided by the LMPR to aidin their negotiation of sales prices for cattleand meat products.
"This mandatory reporting provides U.S.producers with readily understandable andtimely information regarding pricing, con-tracting for purchase, and supply anddemand conditions for all segments of thebeef industry," said Woodall, adding thatNCBA was part of an industry coalition urg-ing Congress to reauthorize LMPR. "Alongwith transparency, LMPR encourages compe-tition, without violating producers’ privacy,in the marketplace by substantially increas-ing the volume of industry sales transactionsreported by the U.S. Department ofAgriculture."
LMPR was signed into law by PresidentClinton as part of the 2000 AgriculturalAppropriations Bill. Prior to 2001, informa-tion was collected by observing public auc-tion markets and via voluntary submissionby market participants. However, by 1999many producers had come to notice funda-mental changes in the market structure.About 35 percent of fed cattle sales in 1999occurred via contract agreements that were

Live cattle trade has been higher this weekdue to chart buying and improving fundamen-tals. The weekly net change is $2.40 higher onthe October contract and December is up $1.75.Cash trade developed sharply higher onWednesday; sales were reported at $97/$155which was mostly $3 to $5 higher versus theprevious week. There were even a few smallsales reported at $99 in the South. The cutoutfinished higher on Wednesday with choice up$.1.25 at $158.41 and select was up $.90 at$150.96. The August Cattle on Feed report will
be out on Friday, so the trade could be pricing ina friendly report with the recent strength. Onthe chart, the trend is up and the trade is aboveall major moving averages. We moved to a newhigh for the move on Wednesday, so a firmertone seems likely for the remainder of the week.Hedgers call with questions and look to use thisstrength.
Lean hog trade has been higher this week due toshort covering and improving fundamentals. Theweekly net changes are $3.42 higher on theOctober contract and December is up $2.05. Cashtrade has been higher this week due to improvedprocessing margins and a bigger than expectedweekend kill plan. The only fear on the meat sidemay be a concern that this may be a pre-holidaytype demand run and we’ll end up correcting beforethe month is over. On the chart, October lean hogsgapped above the 40-day yesterday and filled thechart gap created in late July. This should promoteadditional buying interest, but you could alsoargue that near-term upside objectives have beenmet. Resistance is up at $80.05.

not covered by USDA reports. Bruce Hafenfeld,California cattle producer and NCBA’s policydivision chair, said these unreported transac-tions hampered producers' ability to accuratelyassess livestock prices, negotiate with packersor obtain a fair price when selling their live-stock. He said LMPR augments producers’knowledge base when making marketing deci-sions by providing them with pricing and sales
information from transactions around the coun-try.
“As a producer of food and fiber for a growingglobal population, I appreciate the Senate'sefforts to help continue the availability of time-ly and accurate information for U.S. cattle pro-ducers. By reauthorizing mandatory pricereporting, cattle producers will continue tohave access to daily price and volume informa-
tion on purchases of cattle and boxed beef salesas well as export and import data," Hafenfeldsaid. "This effort to enhance transparency inthe marketplace is a definite win for everyaspect of the industry.”
Woodall said LMPR now needs approval fromthe U.S. House of Representatives. He saidNCBA will continue to urge the House to reau-thorize LMPR before it expires next month.

Farming ranks behind mining with the sec-ond highest number of disabling and fatal inci-dents annually. This harvest season, farmersshould remember to follow basic safety rulesbecause they could save lives.
When moisture is right, producers often willwork for many hours, long into the night. Whileit is important to get in the crops, most farmingaccidents happen in the evening with fatalitiespeaking at 4 p.m. Workers need to remember torest, eat and take all needed medications sothat they are alert and do not make simple mis-takes that could have horrible consequences.
Working late also can have consequencesbecause the sun sets sooner in the fall anddarkness only increases the danger. Some ofthe most dangerous locations are on publicroads. Use lighting, reflectors and slow-movingvehicle signs when driving farm equipment onthe road. Warning flashers should be usedwhenever a machine is operating or being driv-en on rural roads both day and night. Machineoperators should always be aware of their sur-roundings and have a spotter when backing up,but these precautions are even more importantat night. Always alert people where harvestingequipment will be used and avoid altering fieldharvesting plans without notifying others.
Reading and following manufacturers' opera-
tion and maintenance recommendations also isimportant. Always lower the combine header tothe ground, turn off the engine and remove thekeys before performing any service to themachine. Never clear a clogged harvester withthe machine running. Always use approvedsupport devices when working beneath headersor truck beds to ensure they will not accidental-ly fall down. If machines must be serviced inthe field, take the time to clear debris and dustfrom all steps and platforms and wear shoeswith solid, slip-resistant tread.

save money, create a more resistant lawn andprevent the use of chemicals.
Brown patch is another fungal disease thatcauses circular spots of lighter green andbrown in bluegrass and fescue. This will appeararound the end of July and last for a month orsix weeks. Once again, Timmerman saidreseeding was the best option.
"You just have to live through four to sixweeks of light brown discoloration in yourlawn," Timmerman said.
Homeowners often instinctively start water-ing their lawns in the spring and then continueto water them with automatic irrigation sys-tems for the rest of the summer. According toReicher, this is unnecessary.
"By and large, most of our lawns can functionwith a lot less water than we think," Reichersaid.
It actually is better to keep turfgrass on thedry side during the summer and save water.Reicher said to watch turfgrass for signs of ablueish haze in the afternoon. When thisappears, water the grass the next morning.Watering in the morning is more efficientbecause of the decreased disease pressure, heat
and wind. Homeowners should wait three to eight days
depending on weather or until the bluish hazereappears to water turf again.
In the case of fairy rings, watering will help,but only if the ground is aerated first. Fairyrings are circles of bright green grass caused bythe release of excess nitrogen from fungi break-ing down organic material. They often arefound in lawns with a thick layer of thatch ordead leaves.
"This is actually good because it's breakingdown organic matter for us," Timmerman said.
The downside is the fungus forms an under-ground structure that does not allow water topermeate the soil. Once again, the roots cannotget enough water and the grass inside the ringturns brown. Homeowners should stick theground with a pitchfork or aerate the soil insome other way before watering the grass so itcan reach the roots.
The fungus also produces mushrooms. Thesecan be mowed, but pet owners should pick anddiscard them because some can be poisonous.
Turfgrass also may fall victim to nutsedgeand other weeds during the summer. Nutsedge
can be treated with herbicides as long as lawnsare well-watered and mornings are cool. Withthe heat of the late summer, it often is better toleave herbicide and fertilizer application toprofessionals.
"Weed control can be very damaging if youover do it. Or sometimes even if you under do itwith the right temperature, the right wind, theright lack of humidity you can cause seriousdamage," Reicher said.
Homeowners should also avoid applying fer-tilizer during hot, stressful weather. Saturatedsoils that have been unable to dry out may yel-low and appear to be nitrogen deficient. If theunattractive yellow grass is the main concern,homeowners can apply iron to maintain color.However, nitrogen applications will not fix thisproblem until the soil has dried. Fertilization ismost effective in September.
Homeowners may be tempted to continuallytreat and water their turfgrass this summer,but they could just cause more harm, so asReicher said, "During the heat of the summer,stay off the turf."
LESS IS BETTER WHEN TREATING LAWNS THIS SUMMERContinued from page 31
