Robert Pore, The Grand Island Indepent

A report showing that agriculturalland valuations increased by 29.12percent over the previous year isanother example of why Nebraskatax laws need to be changed, saidSteve Nelson, Nebraska FarmBureau president.

The Nebraska Department ofRevenue's Property AssessmentDivision released the report onMonday, April 15.

The increase in agricultural landvaluations in Hall County was evengreater — 40.73 percent, accordingto the report. For surroundingcounties, agricultural landvaluations from 2013 to 2014increased by 36.79 percent in AdamsCounty; 34.16 percent, Buffalo;

29.34 percent, Custer; 37.37 percent,Hamilton; 37.32 percent, Howard;and 28.06 percent, Merrick.

Nelson said the increase ensuresthe statewide valuation ofagricultural land for tax purposeswill have "doubled since 2009 as ourestimates suggest nearly a 120percent increase in valuation sincethat time."

"Our estimates also suggest that,due to the increase, the statewideproperty taxes paid by farm andranch families on agricultural landwill near $1 billion in 2015," Nelsonsaid.

Jim Jansen, research analyst withthe University of Nebraska-Lincoln's department of agriculturaleconomics, which conducts theNebraska Farm Real Estate MarketDevelopments survey annually, said

land markets in Nebraska remainedrelatively steady in the last year,according to preliminary findings.

Overall, the average statewidefarmland value — based on actualsale prices — rose by about 5percent, as of Feb. 1, to $3,195 peracre, Jansen said. Survey reportersacross the state reported percentagegains for all the farmland classes forthe period from Feb. 1, 2013, to Feb.1, 2014.

Jansen said farmland values inrecent years have increased sharply.The overall increase of 25 percent in2013 followed increases of 22percent and 32 percent in the twoprevious years, leaving the 2013 all-land value more than double thevalue in early 2010.

According to USDA's EconomicResearch Service, national net farm

income — a key indicator of U.S.farm well-being — is forecast at$95.8 billion in 2014, down 27percent from last year's record of$130.5 billion. The 2014 forecastwould be the lowest since 2010 butwould remain $8 billion above theprevious 10-year average.

The USDA reported that theforecast for lower net farm incomeand net cash income is primarily aresult of the outlook for lower cropreceipts and government payments.In contrast, livestock returns areforecast to be steady to slightlyhigher.

Jansen said that, in the last year,the largest increase by land classoccurred for non-tillable grazing

THE FARMER’S WIFEBy Christy Welch

Wins, Places and showsMy goodness we’ve had a busy few weeks, and

it’s just going to get busier!Both of my sons showed calves in the new

Hansen Agriculture Learning Center in Amesduring the last part of March.

What a fantastic facility Iowa StateUniversity now has to host an event such asthis. And, I’m not just saying that because I wasborn in Ames, and went to Iowa State.

The building doesn’t have any of the bells andwhistles that weren’t needed, and everythingthat is needed. The seats are comfortable andthe kids appeared to not have any problemsshowing in the arena. Under the seating area isa concession stand with an area to have a snackor a meal.

I can definitely see some of our ag studentswanting to rent the area out for a wedding inthe future.

The boys showed in the 20th Annual Block &Bridle Cyclone Classic on Saturday, March 22,and the AGR (Alpha Gamma Rho) SpringShowdown on Sunday, March 23.

On Saturday, the little kid had decided that heneeded a new rope halter for his steer, Nacho,and purchased a crimson and gold one at theshow.

Yes, my youngest son was in the show ring asIowa State was battling the North Carolina TarHeels to earn a spot in the Sweet 16 of theNCAA Basketball Tournament.

While I was waiting for him to show, my sisterwas texting me a running commentary on thescore, minute by minute.

Usually, I’m not a fan of basketball (I’m afootball girl), but as a lifelong Cyclone this wasexciting!

Unfortunately, neither boy was in the topcouple in their classes, but they had a greatexperience and hopefully learned a little bit.

After the little kid was done showing onSunday, I made my way to the car so I couldfinish listening to the game on the radio.

The boys and my husband washed the calfbefore returning to the tack area to hear myscreaming with the fans on the radio for ourbeloved Cyclones. That ending was a nail biter,as were a lot of the games this season.

The big kid arrived at the car first, andstarted yelling right with me. My husband andthe little kid were a little ways behind him.

There’s nothing like cheering your college’steam on while watching your son lead his steerwith a crimson and gold halter!

We are a family with diverse activities.This weekend, the big kid will be in a play at

the Donna Reed Theatre. He has a small part,but I think he’s enjoyed it.

I think I’ll enjoy having him home after a fewmonths of him having practices almost everynight until 9 or 10 p.m.

After that, the little kid is in a musical nextTuesday. The fifth grade Musical Monarchs areputting on a show based on Alice inWonderland.

A couple weeks after that, I ship off both boysto spring camp for Boy Scouts. Since myhusband drives the bus, this will be the firsttime that all three of my guys will be at a camptogether as Boy Scouts.

But first, my oldest son has to play histrumpet at our annual Jazz concert.

And right after spring camp, the big kid and Ihead off to the State FFA conference, he as astate FFA choir member and me as a judge.They get back from camp in the morning, andwe leave in the afternoon.

We may not win a lot, but we do go a lot ofplaces and put on a lot of shows! And boy do wehave fun!

An important aspect of discipline is teachingyour child to think for himself. A child who canthink for himself is on his way to being acompetent, responsible adult. Begin earlyallowing your child to make appropriate choices.Young children can choose between two differentshirts. Older children can choose if they want tohave their snack first or do their homework first.Help your child think through choices. If yourolder child is deciding between snack andhomework, you could help him think out loudwhich order seems right to him. Help himexplain his choice and thinking to you.

Include children in family decisions, whenappropriate. If the family is planning an outing,ask the children for ideas.

When your child is not following a family rule,talk with him about the choice he is making.What are the consequences of his choice? Howwill it affect him and other family members?

Praise your child when he solves his ownproblems. Focus on his solution and how itworked for him. “What a good idea! Now both youand your sister can have a chance to use thebike.”Lying, Stealing, and Other Problem Behaviors

All children - at some point - behave badly. Ifyour child has stolen, lied, hit, or disobeyed insome way, he is no different from other children.Although these behaviors can be distressing,they do not mean that you have a bad, naughty,or hopeless child. What these behaviors do meanis that we have an opportunity to teach our childhow we want him to behave and why these typesof behaviors are not appropriate or acceptable. Itis important to think of your child as differentfrom his behaviors. Your child can be a good kidand still do bad things. Stay calm when dealingwith a child who has misbehaved. When a parentis able to stay calm, the child is better able to

hear what is said. If you do yell, be sure to repeatyour message later when you are calm.

Deal with the behavior and do not getdistracted by why your child did it. Children, likeadults, do things for many reasons. Your childmay never be able to tell you “why” he lied, stole,or disobeyed. Focusing on this will likely onlyfrustrate you further because it will feel as if thechild is being even more defiant.

Remember that love builds the foundation foreffective discipline. If you want your children toobey family rules, regularly let them know howmuch you love and appreciate them. Instead,focus on the behavior and what it is you want toteach your child. If your child took somethingthat was not his, you may want to considerhaving him return it to the person or store. Thiswill teach your child how to make amends andwill send a strong message about not takingthings from others. Remember it often takesmany failures to learn a lesson.

You will likely have to teach your childrenmany times what you want them to do. What isimportant is that you teach the lesson each time,and hold them responsible for making amends.Failing is just another chance to learn. In theUS, we tend to think that failing is bad – but it isprobably the best way we learn anything. Be arole model for picking yourself up, dustingyourself off and starting all over again.

Remember to praise your child when he makesan effort to behave appropriately. If your childhas been lying and then tells you the truth, makesure to point this out. “I know it was hard for youto tell me that you broke the chair. I am reallyproud of you for being honest. Now what do youthink we should do?”

If you are feeling overwhelmed by your child’sbehavior, seek help. Some good places to startlooking for help are with your family doctor,school counselor, and church.

• I T ’ S T H E P I T T S b y L e e P i t t s •I t C o u l d H a v e B e e n Wo r s e ( B e s t O f )

by Lee Pitts

Hanging around renegade livestock allmy life has taught me that no matter howbad things get, they can always get worse.

For instance, there was the wild buckingbull in Reno decades ago who celebratedIndependence Day by jumping over therodeo arena fence, frightening severalhundred onlookers and doing extensivedamage before knocking over a portabletoilet in the parking lot. The bull ofnondescript origin did not just politely tapthe modern day outhouse over, he sent itsailing through the air before landing on itsroof. When I mentioned the incident to therodeo contractor who owned the renegadebull he replied, "It could of been worse."

"How," I asked thinking of all thepotential lawsuits.

"Hey, I could have been the guy inside thetoilet at the time."

A similar incident occurred in Billingswhen a crazy bovine bull dozed his way outof the arena and hid out in the City Park. Iam told the entire city went on "full bullalert." When they finally did catch the bullfive weeks later he was renamed,LongTimeNoSee.

It could have been worse. It could havebeen Central Park in New York Cityinstead of Billings and the bull never wouldhave made it out alive.

Then there was the Longhorn sale we hadat the County Fairgrounds in Elko 25years, or so, ago. The cattle were docile andso the organizers of the sale saw no need fora very substantial sale ring. For someunknown reason a bull got on the prod anddecided to sharpen his horns on the pipesale ring. He lifted the whole thing up withhis horns and ran underneath into a packedset of bleachers. After the bleachers tippedover backwards someone had the presenceof mind to open the door of the salepavilion.

The bull saw his opening and ran throughthe door and on to Interstate 80. After theincident the sale manager told me, "itcould've been a lot worse. Luckily this isthe cow town of Elko and people aroundhere are used to having the freeway blockedby cattle. It could have been a morebooming metropolis, like Winnemucca, forinstance."

By far the worst renegade I’ve ever seenwas a big bad bull at the Arizona Nationalin Phoenix one year. This bull had beenmeaner than a biting boar all his life andreally should not have been brought totown. Especially a town with so manyfreeways!

A bee got in the bull's bonnet and theshow bull went berserk, clearing several

fences before proceeding the wrong waydown Interstate 17 headed for Flagstaff.Alex, who is a friend of mine with noshortage of sand in his craw, took off like acut cat, jumping into the back of thepickup, and yelling for another friend to getin and drive. They sped after the riled andringy bull and caught up with him aboutPrescott. But not before driving overmedian strips, big boulders, and generallycreating fifty miles of highway in the desertthat did not exist prior.

The skillful driver was able to wheel thetruck next to the bull who then rammed theside of the new pickup with his hard head.Several times in fact. With one swing of hisloop Alex ably got a rope on the bull anddallied to the broken bumper. The newtruck now looked like it had just been in ademolition derby... and lost!

Later when Alex returned to Phoenix asthe conquering cowboy hero I referred tothe terrifying incident.

"It could have been worse," said Alex."You mean it could have been your bull," I

joked.“No," said Alex. "It could have been my

truck."

Knickrehm Elementary fifth-graders Dabatha Sanchez andJazzlyn Nava were personallypresented certificates by Gov. DaveHeineman for creating winningposters in the annual AgricultureWeek in Nebraska Poster Contest.

Sanchez finished first in the fifth-grade and sixth-grade division, whileNava finished third.

Heineman gave the girls thecertificates during an appearance inDiane Meyer's fifth-grade classroom.

The mid-morning ceremony tookplace after Heineman first visitedCentura Public Schools to present acertificate to first-grader HopeMcDonald, who won first place in thefirst-grade and second-grade divisionof the contest; and to Hope's sister,Faith McDonald, who won first-placein the third-grade and fourth-gradeportion.

The 2014 theme is "NebraskaFamily Farms."

Sanchez had a bright red headline,"Show-Casing Nebraska's FamilyFarms!" The poster showed a farmerstanding with a crop of sunflowers,as well as two other people who wereholding containers filled withNebraska crops.

Sanchez drew a roll of film goingdown the middle of her poster, witheach frame showing a different farmscene: crops such as wheat, soybeansand corn, as well as frames showinglivestock, farm equipment, a barnand silo.

In addition, her roll of film had apicture of a dinner plate filled withfoods produced by Nebraska farms,various food products that can bepurchased in grocery stores and afamily enjoying a picnic with foodprovided by Nebraska farm families.

Nava's poster was titled,"Nebraska Farm Families: RaisingKids, Crops and Animals." It showedthe outline of the state, which wasmostly colored red, with theexception of a yellow sunburst in thecenter with a red baseball cap in thecenter of the sunburst. The ball caphad the familiar Nebraska "N" logo.

Along the bottom of her poster,Nava showed a farmer, along with ason dressed in a blue FFA jacket anda daughter dressed in a 4-H shirt,complete with the 4-H clover. Herposter also showed a young mandriving a tractor, a red barn, a siloand cornfield.

After she was presented with hercertificate, Sanchez noted thatMeyer had helped all the students bybringing crops such as corn,soybeans and alfalfa for the studentsto see. Nava said Meyer told studentsabout FFA and 4-H.

During his talk with Meyer'sstudents, Heineman said he literallyhas lost count of how many times hehas been to her classroom because somany of her students have won theagriculture poster contest inprevious years.

"It's really extraordinary,"Heineman said of the success thatMeyer's students have had over theyears.

Meyer noted that Dabatha andJazzlyn came to school by 7:20 a.m.each day and worked on their postersuntil school started at 8 a.m. By thelook of one bulletin board in theclassroom — which had numerousagricultural posters — many otherfifth-graders in Meyer's classfollowed the same routine.

Meyer's students participate in lotsof poster contest, but the teacher saidbecause she lives on a farm, shewould have her fifth-graders do theag poster contest if she could onlychoose one.

With Heineman's time in office setto expire in January because of termlimits, the governor seemed to allot alittle extra time to take questionsfrom students. He sounded many ofthe same themes he has duringprevious talks to Meyer's fifth-graders.

Heineman said he becamegovernor when Gov. Mike Johannswas appointed U.S. secretary ofagriculture and he moved up fromthe lieutenant governor's job. He hasbeen elected governor twice, whichmeans he will have served asgovernor for just two weeks short of10 years. As a result, he will beNebraska's longest-serving governorwhen he leaves office.

Heineman said he has the best jobas governor, because he gets to seethe best of Nebraska every day. Henoted nobody ever invites him to seethe worst thing that happens in theircommunity.

Instead, he gets invited whenstudents such as Dabatha andJazzlyn win poster contests, when anew business opens in town, when afirm gets named as a business of ayear and to celebrate similar honorsfor individuals and organizations.

Heineman said his No. 1 priorityhas been education, with his secondpriority jobs so that, when studentsgraduate from community college orcollege, they will continue to live inNebraska.

The governor told students tobecome good readers because that's askill that will allow them to do wellin other subjects such as math andscience. Heineman told students thathe reads about three hours a day,which should show them theimportance of learning how to readwell.

April 17, 2014Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Government

It has been more than six months since theObamacare online exchanges opened and I continueto hear from Nebraskans about the problems andprice increases they are experiencing because of thelaw. While the President has refused to work withRepublicans on solutions to ease the burden onhardworking families, the Administration has beenbusy issuing delays which only postpone furthercomplications and hardships.

There are currently 22 delays to the AffordableCare Act which have been issued by theAdministration without the consent of Congress,even though in several cases they directly contradictthe text of the law. The most recent delay is to giveindividuals more time past the March 31 deadline toenroll in the exchanges if they experienced technicalproblems because of the glitch-filled website.Because it is difficult to show whether individualsactually had problems, eligibility for this delay isbeing enforced by an “honor system.”

I have supported multiple efforts in the House ofRepresentatives to delay the individual mandate to

purchase insurance for a year. This is the sameflexibility the Administration has already extendedto large businesses by delaying the employermandate. But the White House has actuallythreatened to veto these bills, while implementingsimilar policies without the consent of Congress.

I was disappointed this week during a Ways andMeans Health Subcommittee hearing when I asked asenior official at the Department of the Treasury ifthe Administration would consider legislation todelay the employer mandate tax penalty. Heresponded by saying the Treasury Departmentbelieves it already has the authority to implementthese changes. I strongly disagree.

The American people are better served by thefederal government when we follow the system ofchecks and balances envisioned by our founders anddefined by the Constitution. It is the President’sresponsibility to execute the law. Changes to lawmust be passed by Congress. Selective enforcementof the law sets a very dangerous precedent andundermines our system of checks and balances.

Even while keeping Obamacare enrollment openpast the stated deadline, the Administration claimsto have only signed up around 7 million Americansfor health insurance through the exchanges.However, analysts are predicting only a fraction ofthese enrollees previously did not have insurance,most likely have higher health care costs, and manymay not have made their first premium payment. Ifaccurate, premiums and health care costs would goup even further next year.

I would still prefer to repeal this law and passmarket- and patient-centered reforms to lower costand expand access to care. These ideas are unlikelyto pass the current U.S. Senate or be signed by thecurrent President, but in the meantime, I would hopethere is an opportunity to work together to easeburdens in a manner consistent with theConstitution. To prevent further disruptions in thehealth insurance market and the continuing priceincreases, the President and the Administrationshould work with, not around, Congress to findcommon ground and solutions.

How to Save a Billion Livesby Senator Mike Johanns

Norman Borlaug might not be a name many wouldput on a list of American icons, but a statue of thisIowa farmer now stands with sculptures of formerpresidents and other great American figures in theU.S. Capitol. Inscribed on it is the phrase, “The ManWho Saved a Billion Lives.”

To put this in perspective, the world’s population is7 billion.

Borlaug earned this title for his lifetimeachievements in improving ag efficiency indeveloping nations struggling to feed their people. Heused science and technology to develop plant geneticsthat would thrive in local conditions and could beused by local farmers. As a result hungry nationsbegan outpacing the starvation that was too often attheir door.

The significance of his discoveries is only going tobecome more important as the global population isexpected to reach 9 billion by 2050. That meanslimited resources must be stretched further to feedmore people. The stakes are high and theimplications are real. Fighting hunger is not only a

matter of humanitarian aid, but also important forglobal stability. Hungry people cannot advance theircommunities when their lives are spent looking fortheir next meal. Desperate nations spar withthemselves over scarce necessities, and become easytargets for adversarial neighbors looking to capitalizeon their weaknesses.

Our nation has been a leader in working toeradicate extreme hunger around the world andimprove global food security. Our achievements onthis front have been remarkable. As Secretary ofAgriculture, I saw firsthand the benefits of our foodaid programs. This investment is returned to us inthe appreciation and affection felt by the recipients ofthese dollars. It’s an important diplomatic toolbecause it shows that Americans care about the mostbasic needs of people living in poverty around theworld.

Even though we live in a landlocked state in themiddle of the country, Nebraska farmers are alwaysthinking globally. And there’s a simple reason forthat: beyond our borders the demand for our products

is on the rise. Crops grown in Nebraska soil are usedto keep people alive on the other side of the globe. Asdeveloping countries become wealthier, they demandmore beef, and Nebraska leads the nation in itsproduction.

Meeting these demands means expanding onBorlaug’s mission of increasing ag productivity. TheWater for Food Institute at the University ofNebraska is just one example of how our state isprepared to meet this challenge. We’ve had to learnhow to ensure agriculture thrives despite scarcewater resources. The Institute is using thatknowledge to find solutions for sustainable watermanagement that benefits countries throughout theworld.

We must continue to embrace science-basedinnovations like plant and animal genetics andconservation techniques that help a safe and healthyfood supply meet a growing demand. I applaud thework of Nebraska’s ag community to explore new andcreative ways to feed the world and help to save abillion lives.

Nebraskans know there’s no shortage of waste andduplication within the federal government. Countlessfederal programs replicate existing, more effectiveprograms at the state or local level. Yet, somehowthese unnecessary programs, which are funded bytaxpayer dollars and serve no useful purpose,continue to exist.

What’s more, many departments and agencies useup federal dollars on overlapping expenses and fail totake advantage of easy opportunities for cost savings.It’s like Reagan once said, “Government programs,once launched, never disappear. Actually, agovernment bureau is the nearest thing to eternallife we’ll ever see on this Earth.”

Since 2011, the Government Accountability Office(GAO) has released a report outlining specific areasof “fragmentation, overlap, and duplication in federalprograms and activities.” These four reports haverevealed 188 areas that meet these criteria withinnearly every department and agency. GAO has alsorecommended 440 ways Congress and theadministration could act to improve efficiency.

This year’s report identified 15 new opportunitiesfor the federal government to achieve savings. Forexample, at least $866 million in taxpayer fundscould be saved if federal government properties wereowned rather than leased. GAO’s report also notesoverlap between disability benefits andunemployment benefits. In fiscal year 2010, 117,000individuals received simultaneous cash benefit

payments from both disability insurance (DI) andunemployment insurance (UI) programs.Overlapping DI and UI payments totaled more than$850 million – that’s over $1.2 billion that could besaved over the next decade.

While GAO’s report is an important tool to identifyexcessive spending, it is Congress’ job to executeoversight and pass policies that reduce this wasteand trim the fat.

I recently led an effort to introduce an amendmentwith Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) to strengthengender-based pay anti-discrimination laws andpromote more opportunities for men and women inthe workplace. It included a provision that wouldeliminate duplication and help people find good-paying jobs.

I have heard from many employers in Nebraskawho struggle to fill available jobs due to a shortage ofworkers with the necessary training. My proposalwould consolidate duplicative job training programsand use existing funding to provide federal grants tostates for the creation of industry-led partnerships.These partnerships are meant to provide women andmen with the tools they need to compete and besuccessful in fields requiring specific skills.

Unfortunately, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D-Nev.) refused to bring our commonsenseamendment up for a vote. Nonetheless, I will

continue to support efforts to reduce the size ofgovernment and focus on programs that work.

I believe the most effective way Congress canaddress government growth is to cut wastefulspending through responsible budgeting. InNebraska, the governor works with state senators,combing through the budget line by line to balance it.It seems this sensible accounting practice is a foreignconcept here in Washington.

Until last March, the Senate had not produced abudget in nearly four years. In fact, Congress hasonly met the required October 1 deadline for a budgettwice since 1980. That is why I cosponsored anamendment to constitutionally require the federalgovernment to produce a balanced budget. I am alsocosponsoring bipartisan legislation introduced bySen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) to make Congress’budget process more efficient. The BiennialBudgeting and Appropriations Act would requireCongress to pass a two-year budget, rather than anannual budget. A biennial budget would helpagencies plan ahead and allow more time forlawmakers to focus on oversight to help ensure themost effective use of taxpayer money.

Setting priorities, reining in spending, and growingour economy is the only way we are going to chart amore sustainable fiscal course, reduce our debt, andput our country back on the right path. It’s notpolitics; it’s smart policy – and it’s the job theAmerican people sent us here to do.

On March 27th this year the Norfolk FFA wasable to host the annual baby animal farm at thelocal Chuck Pohlman Ag Complex in NorfolkNebraska. During baby animal farmkindergartens from the surrounding schools cancome learn about farm animals for a little while.The goal of the day is to educate the youngergeneration on basic knowledge of what happens ona farm. Along with learning about the animalsthey also get to pet each animal. The animalsfeatured this year included a baby llama,numerous puppies, cats, rabbits, chickens, a pony,and two bottle calves. We also were able to havesome learning tools such as a fake dairy cownamed “Annabelle” (sponsored by Midwest Dairy)that the kids got to milk. We also had a pig barnthat showed the kids what a pig operation lookslike on the inside from Nebraska Pork Producers.Lastly, the kids learned about the differentmachinery on a farm and got to sit inside a tractorand on numerous four-wheelers. We were able tohost 400 kindergartners and then open the displayto the public for three hours. This is the NorfolkFFA chapter’s favorite event of the year and wethank everyone that help to make it such a successyear after year!

Corn trade has found a tight range up near the 8-month highs with market waiting on planting progressover the next few weeks. The weekly net changes afterthree days of trade are unchanged. The first aggregateplanting progress report of the year listed corn at 3%planted vs. the 6% average. Very little progress is expect-ed to be planted this week, with a more open forecast fornext week. South Am has occurred this week due to thecold and mostly wet conditions but the east is expected toadvance in the week ahead. The western belt will stilllikely be slow. Corn basis has been steady to firmer withfarmer movement slowing with the light board break,plus producer attention is now on planting. The weeklyEIA report showed ethanol production up 4.8% andstocks down 2.8% on the week and total gas demand wasdown over 2%. The high ethanol prices the past monthslowed ethanol usage, so the jump in disappearance thispast week was likely blenders catching up and filling thepipeline. What is not good is the lower demand for gas asa whole. Also the higher ethanol production has beennegative for futures. So board margins for ethanol pro-duction have sank this week, but not to a level that pro-duction is expected to slow. The weekly export sales wereokay at 601,900 metric tons of old crop and 192,600 tonsof new. The weekly export inspections were outstandingat 1.45 million metric tons. Nearby May contract chartsupport is at $4.96, the 20-day moving average andresistance is at $5.19, which is the multi-month highreached last week following the friendly USDA monthlySupply and Demand report. Hedgers call with questions,we recommend looking at ways to protect/hedge here, socall us to discuss your individual situation. Ag marketswill be closed for Good Friday and then normal hoursnext week.

Wheat trade moved sharply higher to start theweek on cold weather and renewed Russian tensions.The weekly net changes were 28 higher in Chicago, 35higher in KC and Minneapolis is 25 higher. TheUSDA weekly crop ratings slipped 1% to 34% good toexcellent, and poor to very poor rose 3% to 32%.Weather concerns remain in western wheat areasthat remain dry. The cold snap pushed pretty farsouth and presented a threat to the early jointingwheat, most of the northern parts of the wheat beltshould miss out of the damage due to slow develop-ment. Black Sea wheat weather is mixed for themoment, potential political tensions flaring up thisweek is the biggest question in the forecast. Theweekly export sales were better at 438,000 metrictons of old crop and 359,900 of new. The weeklyexport inspections were good at 683,544 metric tons.On the chart, wheat is back to a higher trend, thecloses on Wednesday were above the 10-day movingaverages on KC and Chicago at $7.39, and $6.76, withthe 20-day just above the market at $7.55 and $6.88.If we can move and close above the 20-day for a fewdays another round of short covering good give wheatan additional upside boost around the holiday week-end.

Soybean trade has pushed to new highs this week dueto good demand news and chart buying. For the weekMay beans are 55 higher, meal is $19 higher and oil 160points higher. The NOPA March crush was bigger thanexpected at 153.8 million bushels versus expectations of146 million. The May/July soybean spread has softeneda bit but the July/November spread has moved to newhighs with July a $2.70 premium to November. Also newcrop beans have moved to new highs versus new cropcorn, which ultimately is negative for new crop becausethe planting intentions are already for a 5 million acreincrease over last year. The weekly export sales were19,200 metric tons of old crop and 400,700 metric tons ofnew, soymeal sales were soft at 36,600 metric tons andoil was soft at 5,500 metric tons. The weekly exportinspections were good at 267,939 metric tons. SouthAmerican shipments are picking up with more cargosexpected to be diverted from China to the US.

land, at 7 percent. Non-tillable grazing landincludes pasture and rangeland that does nothave the current potential to be converted intocropland for small-grain or row-cropproduction.

Jansen said record high livestock pricestranslated into strong increases seenthroughout the state for pasture andrangeland. He said expectations among surveyparticipants also indicated high future cattleprices to be a strong factor fueling the increasein non-tillable grazing land.

Nelson said Nebraska Farm Bureau haspointed out on a number of occasions that the"unprecedented growth in valuation onagricultural land and the associated increasesin property taxes are carried by farm and ranchfamilies who make up less than 3 percent of ourpopulation but pay more than 25 percent of theproperty taxes collected statewide."

"While the Legislature placing more moniesinto the property tax credit program in the veinof property tax relief is appreciated, the factremains that Nebraska farmers and rancherspay the third-highest property taxes in the U.S.and will continue to do so until something isdone to address this issue," Nelson said.

He said Nebraska Farm Bureau will continueto advocate for change to a tax system that"fails to recognize that property is not the solemeans of measuring wealth and unfairly relieson farmers' and ranchers' primary productiontool (land) as the basis for funding schools andlocal government."

The Nebraska Department of Revenue saidpreliminary analysis indicates that valuationsfor all real property have increased 12.45percent from 2013 to 2014, resulting in anincrease in valuation of approximately $20.93billion.

Of that amount, $1.99 billion (9.5 percent) isattributable to newly constructed real propertyand $18.94 billion (90.5 percent) is attributableto existing property valuation increases.

Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent

Long-awaited livestock disaster assistance isjust around the corner, U.S. Sen. Mike Johannssaid during a telephone conference withreporters.

"It will be for producers who experienced lossesduring the prolonged drought or severe weather,"Johanns said.

Johanns said the U.S. Department ofAgriculture (USDA) will begin enrollingproducers for disaster assistance programs onTuesday.

The livestock disaster assistance programs arepart of the new Farm Bill that Congress passedearlier this year. But Johanns said many of thesesame programs expired in 2011 with the previousFarm Bill. It took Congress two years to pass anew Farm Bill and to reinstate those programs.

During the interim, producers took huge lossesdue to drought and severe winter weather, suchas the October 2013 blizzard that killedthousands of cattle in Nebraska and SouthDakota.

During the drought, cattle producers had toreduce their herds because of the lack of grassgrowth in pastures and rangeland. Supplementalfeeding was expensive because of the drought.

According to the USDA, severe or greaterdrought in 2012 impacted 67 percent of cattle

production and about 70 percent to 75 percent ofcorn and soybean production.

The Oct. 5 and 6 blizzard struck Dawes, Sioux,Box Butte and Sheridan counties. NebraskaEmergency Management Officials estimated thatcattle deaths resulting from the storm numbered3,000 to 5,000 within western Nebraska counties.

"People out there who have experienced lossesduring this lapse and maybe gave up hope thatthere would ever be any disaster program, I justneed to tell them that they need to reach out totheir FSA (Farm Service Agency) office," Johannssaid.

Johanns hoped producers have documentedtheir losses because the assistance is retroactive.

"It will help people back to the 2011 expirationdates," he said. "It is encouraging news toproducers."

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said earlierthis week that the programs will "provide long-awaited disaster relief for many livestockproducers who have endured significant financialhardship from weather-related disasters whilethe programs were expired and awaitingcongressional action."

"President Obama and I prioritized theimplementation of these disaster assistanceprograms now that the Farm Bill has restoredand strengthened them," Vilsack said.

Programs providing payments for losses thatoccurred since the expiration of the livestock

disaster assistance programs in 2011, including2012, 2013 and 2014, include:

— The Livestock Indemnity Program, whichprovides compensation to eligible producers whohave suffered livestock death losses in excess ofnormal mortality due to adverse weather.

— The Livestock Forage Disaster Program,which provides compensation to eligibleproducers who have suffered grazing losses dueto drought or fire on publicly managed land.

Enrollment also will begin on April 15 forproducers with losses covered by:

— The Emergency Assistance for Livestock,Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program,which provides emergency assistance to eligibleproducers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish that have losses due to disease,adverse weather or other conditions, such asblizzards and wildfires.

— The Tree Assistance Program, whichprovides financial assistance to qualifyingorchardists and nursery tree growers to replantor rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes and vinesdamaged by natural disasters.

The USDA said all producers are encouraged tocollect records documenting these losses inpreparation for enrollment in these disasterassistance programs. Producers also areencouraged to contact their county office ahead oftime to schedule an appointment.

Cheatgrass, also known as downy brome,military grass, and downy chess, is a winterannual grass that was introduced fromsouthwestern Asia in the late 1800's. It was firstreported in British Columbia and has sincespread throughout western North America. It isnow moving into grasslands of the Midwest.

Cheatgrass is an invasive plant species thatreduces forage quality and increases thepotential for large and more frequent fires. Itgrows from 6 - 24" with distinguishing featuresof hairy leaves and stems, ligule with fringedmargin, and drooping panicles. It has beenreported that a heavy infestation of cheatgrasscan produce up to 80,000,000 seeds/acre.

Why is cheatgrass so successful? It is verycompetitive for available resources, primarilysoil moisture. Since it typically germinates inthe fall, develops roots during the winter, andbegins re-growing as soon as temperatures beginwarming in the spring, it has an advantage overmost native and desirable rangeland andpasture species that emerge from dormancy lateror have a slower growth habit. Another keyfeature of cheatgrass is its ability to thrive underfrequent and intensive fire cycles.

Managing cheatgrass requires an integratedapproach with a focus on breaking the seed cycleand maintaining or improving the vigor ofdesirable plant species. Several tools areavailable for managing cheatgrass, includingmechanical, cultural, chemical, and biological.

•Cheatgrass seed populations in the soil canbe reduced by cultivating to germinate and killnewly emerging seedlings.

•Herbicides can be used to prevent emergenceand control existing cheatgrass populations, butcare must be taken to not injure desirable plantspecies.

•Prescribed grazing can reduce populationsand prevent new seed if applied at the right timeand frequent enough without injuring perennialgrasses.

•Finally, the establishment or maintenance ofdesirable vegetation is the most effective way tocontrol cheatgrass at very minimal costs.

Remember to read and follow the label of anyherbicide used and prevent the development ofherbicide resistance by incorporating the use ofall the available tools.

Live Cattle have tracked sideways in quiet trade thisweek with feeder cattle staying near the recent highs. Ifcorn trade turns lower it could add some additionalupside support to feeders. The weekly net changes wereunchanged on June Live Cattle and 20 lower on feedercattle. Seasonal pressure should persist on fat cattle fora little while longer, plus market ready supplies shouldbe expected to increase every week as we move into May.The cutout activity has been sideways to a few dollarshigher this week with choice around $224 and select at$215. The strength in the choice/select spread indicatesthat feedlots are current, which we would view as a sup-portive item at the moment because the futures are pric-

ing-in a sizeable cash downside correction. Cash tradelooks like it will be fairly slow in the near term withpackers still short bought and showlists tight.

Hedgers call with questionsand keep your eyes on the margin with a lot of risk at thehigher prices.

Lean hog trade has remained very volatile this weekwith wide swings in the daily trade. For the week, Junehogs are 260 higher and have moved back into the mid-dle of the recent range. That being said, cash trade hassoftened a bit with packer margins falling into the red,and a short kill week for the Holiday. The cutout has slidwith Easter demand filled at this point. There is someconcern that demand will struggle in gains in poultryconsumption showing, although the high beef prices willpartially offset. Carcass weights continued to run solidlyhigher year over year partially covering the drop in num-bers. Hog production margins remain strong for the dis-ease free, and the spread seems to be slowing withwarmer spring temperatures. On the chart, June Hogshave support at the 10-day moving average at $121.81,and resistance at the 20-day moving average at $124.50.Barring a major weather event, feed costs should remainfairly manageable.

andranch.comKearney County Groundwater Project Takes Small Steps ForwardLori Potter, The Kearney Hub

HOLDREGE — A proposed groundwaterrecharge project in eastern Kearney Countyhas reached the “which comes first” point inthe decision-making process for the Tri-BasinNatural Resources District Board of Directors.

About $135,000 already has been spent onpreliminary and final designs for the SandCreek Reservoir project by EA Engineering inOmaha, and land acquisition talks have begunwith owners of three primary parcels of land.

Although the final design is expected anyday, applications have not been made forrequired project permits, and it’s not known ifstate or federal grants will be available to helppay project costs.

The Tri-Basin directors voted at theirmeeting Tuesday in Holdrege to get appraisalson two additional properties, owned by theJohn Kuehn family and Agee familypartnership based in Lancaster County, thatengineers have determined might be affectedby the reservoir.

Appraisals are completed on land owned byChuck Tomsen, Tomsen and his son-in-lawSteve Anderson, and the Bohaty familypartnership based in Seward County.

Sand Creek is a Little Blue River tributarynear the divide between the Platte and Blueriver basins southeast of Minden. May andGrant townships in that part of easternKearney County have seen declines in thegroundwater table.

The project would use Sand Creek water tocreate a shallow reservoir north of Highway 74from which water would seep for groundwaterrecharge. The dam on the east side of theproject would be 38 Road.

“There is no base flow in Sand Creek, so wewould be catching rainwater,” Tri-BasinGeneral Manager John Thorburn said.

There would be a maximum of 140 surfaceacres involved. At full pool, water would cover75 to 80 acres.

Showing an illustration of what a fullreservoir might look like from above, Thorburnsaid it wouldn’t look that way most of the timebecause the goal is to have the water soak intothe aquifer.

Efforts to seek state or federal grants arelimited by the need to have final projectdesigns, estimated costs and land rightsagreements in hand first.

Thorburn said an application to the SmallWatershed Flood Control Fund for landacquisition money was approved by theNebraska Natural Resources Commission, butthere is no money in that fund. Other federaland state funds for such projects also are shorton money, and any other grants approvedlikely would be limited to project constructioncosts.

He said it could take a year or longer to getthe necessary water rights and permits,including a 404 (dredge or fill) permit from theU.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

When asked by John L. Kuehn of Heartwellabout project costs, Thorburn saidconstruction has been estimated at about$500,000, but land acquisition would be themore expensive part of the overall cost.

“It seems to be a relatively small outcome fora relatively large project,” Kuehn said,especially because tax dollars are involved. Headded that there doesn’t seem to be “animmediate impact or pressing need.”

Landowner Brian Petersen said he disagreedwith those statements.

Kearney County Supervisor Roy Nelsonconfirmed that Tri-Basin officials have workedwith the county board to ensure that 38 Roadwould remain a through road over the SandCreek dam.

Following the public hearing, Tri-Basindirectors focused on whether the districtshould spend more money on two additionalappraisals when other factors make ituncertain if the project will be built.

Thorburn describe the Kuehn and Ageeappraisals as another planning andnegotiating tool for making a final decisionabout the project.

Director Larry Reynolds of Lexington saidhe’s concerned about the costs to get a shovel-ready project before seeking grants and aboutthe possible need to for new appraisals or torenegotiate land acquisition agreements ifyears pass before grants and/or permits areapproved.

Director Dave Raffety of Kearney also askedif the board was “getting the cart before thehorse” in spending more money on appraisalswithout knowing if there will be a project.

In response, Director David Nelson ofUpland said a lot of money has been spent“over here,” referring to the western part ofTri-Basin, on projects such as the J-2 re-regulating reservoirs along the Platte River.But Kearney County residents haven’t seentheir tax dollars used on similar beneficialprojects in their area.

He reminded the board that a plan must becompleted to qualify for state or federal aid.

Roy Nelson, the Kearney County supervisor,told the Tri-Basin directors that if they don’tdo anything more on the Sand Creek Reservoirproject, they’ve wasted a lot of money alreadyspent on project development. “You alreadyhave an investment in it, so you might as wellgo ahead and find out what it’s gonna take todo this,” he said.

The board voted 10-3 to proceed with the twoadditional land appraisals. Directors Raffety,Todd Garrelts of Holdrege and Brad Lundeenof Wilcox voted no.

April 17, 2014 Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Welcome to Kearney Map

KEARNEY - Because of its location 1,733 milesfrom Boston and 1,733 miles from San Francisco,Kearney once was called “Midway City of theNation.”

Its newspaper, now the Kearney Hub,established in 1888, was named with visions ofbecoming the hub of the nation.

Although Nebraska Territory was not createduntil 1854, the area was already well-known asthe main east-west route along the Platte River.Kearney is near the southernmost point of thePlatte. Westward travel on the Oregon, Mormonand California trails had reached suchproportions by 1848 that Fort Kearny, southeastof the present city, was established to protecttravelers on the trails.

The transcontinental Union Pacific Railroadwas built through the area in 1866. It was notuntil the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad,which ran south of the Platte, connected with theUnion Pacific line at that point that KearneyJunction came into being.

The town, like the fort, was named for Gen.Stephen Watts Kearny, known for hisdistinguished military service in the MexicanWar. When application was made for a post officeat the fort in 1857, the name was misspelled, withan extra e added. The town has retained thatspelling.

The junction of the railroads gave early settlersgreat optimism and faith in the future of theirnew town as a transportation center. Constructionof a bridge across the Platte River south of the cityprovided a safe crossing for travelers andhomesteaders. This improvement helped to make

Kearney the county seat, which it took fromGibbon in 1874.

The dry years of the 1870s stimulated interestin irrigation. One of the city’s first projects was acanal that would not only carry water foragriculture, but also provide a source of power.The 16-mile Kearney Canal was finally completedin 1886. The ability to supply the community withpower generated from the water in Kearney Lakewas the key to rapid expansion of industry inKearney.

The collapse of the economy in 1893, not only inNebraska but also nationally, plus threeconsecutive years of severe drought, broughtabout an end to Kearney’s first boom period.

The city lost population, factories were idle andhomes were vacant. Eastern investors left, but thepeople who remained continued to work andrebuild.

A new Kearney was in the making. The originaltown planners had laid out wide streets, and theexpansion of the 1880s left many fine dwellingsand architecturally impressive buildingsdowntown as well as attractive parks and thecanal, lake and powerhouse.

The hopeful citizens continued to sing theglories of the community, the beauty of the city,and in general, its desirability for anyone andeveryone as an ideal place in which to live.

In 1903, Kearney was chosen as the site for anew normal school. Today this school is nowknown as the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

The State Hospital for the Tubercular waslocated in Kearney from 1911 to 1972. Kearney

Army Air Base was established east of the cityduring World War II and continued until 1949.

Educational resources, public and private, arewell accounted for on all levels - elementary, highschool, and college. The community supports morethan three dozen churches. Two large hospitals,Good Samaritan and Richard Young, have madeKearney the state’s largest medical center outsideLincoln and Omaha. Their excellent facilitiesserve central and western Nebraska.

As a college town and county seat, Kearney’spopulation was 30,787 in 2010 and growing. Itscore economy consists of wholesale and retailsales, manufacturing, tourism, farming and cattlefeeding.

The city of Kearney and industry mix wellbecause of immediate access through key routesfor shipping and travel - Interstate 80, U.S.Highway 30 and state Highways 10 and 44, aswell as daily passenger and freight air service andUnion Pacific freight service.

Hilltop Mall on the north edge of the city andMain Street Kearney: On The Bricks offer the bestin shopping.

The city’s attractions include historic homes,fine parks with recreational facilities, libraries,museums and art galleries. The establishment ofthe Museum of Nebraska Art in the formerdowntown post office building offers anoutstanding cultural center to the entire state.

The city of Kearney, now seeing a third century,promises continued growth in business andindustry, and the good life for its most importantasset - its people.

Don’t be caught by surprise. Army cutworms areshowing up in high enough numbers to causedamage to alfalfa, especially in western Nebraska sostart monitoring your fields today.

Conditions are right for army cutworms thisspring. Cutworms feed on newly emerging leavesnear the crown of alfalfa. This feeding often slowsdown or delays alfalfa green-up. Cutworms can bedifficult to detect unless you are looking closely for

them. So, if your alfalfa seems slow to get startedthis spring, examine fields for cutworms. Alfalfa candie if enough cutworms are present and they aLookfor army cutworms near the crowns of your alfalfaplants. During daylight they often are found hidingin the loose soil surrounding the plant, so scratcharound a little to find them if you don’t see themright away.

Count the number of cutworm larvae per squarefoot in several areas. The economic threshold forspraying is four or more army cutworms per squarefoot on established alfalfa, but just two larvae are

needed in fields seeded last year. Once your alfalfagets four to six inches tall, spraying is unlikely to bebeneficial unless you see a lot of active leaf feeding.

The best insecticides for controlling armycutworms in alfalfa are synthetic pyrethroids. Theseinclude Baythroid, Mustang Max, Proaxis, andWarrior II. Lorsban also works well. Beforespraying, read and follow label directions to safelyapply the correct rate.

Most alfalfa fields should start greening up soon.If yours does not, check it for army cutworms. Youmay need to spray to save it.

Despite receiving some rain or snow recently, mostareas still are very dry below the surface. Today I’llsuggest some ways you can limit the forage problemsdrought can cause.

Drought is likely to be a problem again thissummer, at least somewhere. Because hay isexpensive and pastures short, we need to considerways to minimize damages if we receive less thanaverage rainfall. Fortunately, early spring is a timeyou can take action that can minimize some ofdrought’s problems.

For starters, prepare a strategy for using anyremaining hay. One of the better options is to feedhay a bit longer this spring before turning cows outto permanent pasture. I know this action is exactlyopposite of my usual recommendation to graze moreand feed less hay. But, allowing pastures toaccumulate a bit more growth before grazing beginswill provide more total grazable forage if droughtprevents much regrowth later on. Leftover hay alsocan be used later during the summer to give pasturesmore time to recover between grazings.

Another strategy is planting annual forages forpasture or hay. Oats planted now or summer annualgrasses like sudangrass, sorghum-sudan hybrids,

and pearl millet are excellent choices. Wait untilsoils are good and warm before planting thesesummer grasses, though. Late May or early Juneusually is best. So reserve some ground now forthese drought-insurance grasses, before you planteverything to corn, beans, and other crops. And don’tforget about possibly planting these grasses or evensome fall cover crop forages into wheat stubble as adouble crop after harvest.

If the rains don’t come, planning and acting now toreduce potential forage losses from drought will paybig dividends.
