For Scott Kinkaid and Tim Nissen,the arguments over geneticallymodified food hit close to home.

Kinkaid grows soybeans and cornon a 1,380-acre tract about 12 milesoutside of Hartington in northeastNebraska. The crops sprout eachyear on a parcel that surrounds thefarmhouse his family has lived in forthree generations. He, like the vastmajority of farmers in Nebraska,plants seeds for the crops that aregenetically modified.

But Nissen has taken a differentroute. He raises alfalfa, corn,soybeans, oats, sunflowers and covercrops on a 350-acre plot of certifiedorganic soil about 20 miles to the

northeast. Perhaps fitting forsomeone who goes his own way,Nissen’s land sits off the two-laneOutlaw Trail.

Kinkaid, 55, and Nissen, 38, whoknow and speak highly of each other,have deep roots in their land. Theywatched their fathers andgrandfathers till and harvest inCedar County.

Over the years, Nissen’s once-skeptical father approved of his son’smove to make the family farmorganic while Kinkaid showed hisfather the benefits of switching tothe no-till practices that geneticmodification makes possible. All thewhile, the whole portrait ofNebraska agriculture changed.

Debates about genetically modifiedorganisms sprang up around theglobe, people fearing for human, foodand environmental safety. Big seedcompanies such as DuPont andMonsanto churned out research andseeds. Farmers began plantinginsect-resistant corn and herbicide-resistant soybeans, products createdwhen scientists modify a plant’sDNA to include desirable traits likeinsect and herbicide resistance.People voiced their concerns abouttampering with Mother Nature.

But these farmers, living just milesapart, think there is enough room inthe farm belt for both kinds ofagriculture. They each say they just

want to provide consumers with what they wantwhile supporting their community andthemselves.

“I really don’t see it as an organic versus GMOdebate. I just don’t see it that way. I see it moreas customers, consumers, dictating what theywant and farmers supplying whatever that needmay be,” Nissen said.

The Nissen family bought the farm in 1956,and Tim took over in 2001. For years, the familyfought for more acres, bigger profit margins.

In 2005, Nissen pitched the idea to go organic.He saw the shift as an opportunity to be anentrepreneur, play by his own rules.

That also would make him a part of the lessthan 2 percent of non-GM farmers in the state,according to the Nebraska Department ofAgriculture.

Three years later, Nissen was certified andready to plant. To qualify as organic, the soilmust remain chemical free. By rotating alfalfaeach year on different fields, Nissen maintainedan income from selling alfalfa while leaving somefields bare and on their way to becoming organic.

Nissen submits paperwork every year to aprivate company out of Fargo, N.D., that sendsinspectors out, many times unannounced, toverify from soil to seed to fertilizer to grain binthat every step is organic.

A 25-foot buffer must run along each edge ofNissen’s crops, separating them from any publicaccess or farming neighbor. The neighbors to thenorth and west grow genetically modified crops,while the east is organic and the south is in aConservation Reserve Program, where thegovernment grows natural prairie grass.

Nissen’s expenses are minimal. He pays about$50 to $100 for a bag of organic seeds. When hecan’t get organic seed, he uses untreated andnon-GMO seed, which he sends to a lab inBrookings, S.D., to be tested for GMOs. Compostacts as fertilizer. Nissen makes his own compostwith leftover cover crops like mill wheat andradishes, which keeps his costs down, andpurchases heat-treated manure pellets to killbacteria like E. coli.

Even though he needs more of them, tillingmachines and tractors are assets on his balancesheet, Nissen said, or investments in the longrun. He needs more specialized equipment to tillthe earth, since weeds must be maintainedthrough the season, but his tractor and tillingattachments cost less than the combines thatplow the thousand-acre fields and cost hundredsof thousands of dollars.

Because the soybeans and corn are certifiedorganic, they sell at a premium at co-ops, usuallydouble that of conventional grain.

“The big thing with organics, our customerswant a certain thing,” Nissen said. “They wantnon-GMO, and they want it raised in fashionsthat do not use chemicals or synthetic fertilizers… and they’re a very loyal customer base. Theyknow what they want, and that’s what theydemand as customers, and as a farmer I’mmeeting those desires.”

Nissen sees a growing need for specialty cropproducers, like himself, as he sees the demandfor organics increase.

Getting into industrial farming on some of thelarger farms is difficult without a big financialinvestment, Nissen said, and becoming aspecialty producer allows younger farmers anopportunity to start their own businesses.

With organic farming, Nissen is on 24-hour,seven-days-a-week weed patrol. Each day duringthe growing season, Nissen monitors his fields,and if he can see the snarly white roots of theintruders, it’s time to till and break their hold.

Tilling frequently creates a loose and softtopsoil, which is easily swept away by wind andwater, but cover crops like rape, sweet clover andwheat help to block the wind and from sweepingaway the soil. Nissen said his farm is susceptibleto erosion, but because he has fewer acres than aconventional farmer has, it is a manageableconcern.

Wind, however, can carry Nissen’s greatestenemies — pollen and herbicides fromconventional farms. To combat potential cross-pollination between genetically modified cropsand his own, which would render his plantsuncertified, Nissen plants his crops about twoweeks after conventional farmers.

Still, herbicides like Dicamba and 2,4-Dvaporize and drift from farms near and far,landing on his plants and killing them. In

addition to the farm, Nissen owns a winery andvineyard up the road from his house. Herbicidedrift killed a portion of his grapes a few yearsback, leaving a dent in his wallet.

Nissan is registered with the NebraskaDepartment of Agriculture’s drift watch program,which alerts farmers in the area about sensitivecrops growing nearby. However, the programdoes not reimburse farmers whose sensitivecrops have been damaged by herbicides.

As a farmer, Nissen has learned to adapt toforces beyond his control. Bugs will outsmart andweeds will adapt, Nissen said. “You start to learnthat partnering with Mother Nature is mucheasier than trying to bend her to your will.”

Since his transition to growing organic, Nissensaid, he’s happier than he’s ever been.

Kinkaid’s farm, just off U.S. Highway 81,joined the family with his grandparents. ScottKincaid took over the business after graduatingfrom college in 1981.

For decades, his father and grandfather spentthe seasons plowing before spring planting, thencultivating the crops as they began to grow,turning over the soil three or more times eachseason. Then Kinkaid convinced his father thattransitioning to genetically modified seed andthe no-till practices that went with it would helpkeep the land from eroding and depleting the soilof its nutrients.

Like most large-scale and conventionalfarmers, Kinkaid uses genetically modified cornand soybean seed, which requires only two tothree sprays of herbicide each year and veryseldom an insecticide, since the geneticmodifications within the plant are designed tokill intrusive pests.

For each bag of seed, Kinkaid pays about $250,which covers 2 to 3 acres of land. Fertilizer costsabout $400 per ton, and herbicide varies, costingbetween $3 and $20 per acre.

A neighbor splits the cost of a combine andplanter, making the machinery, with a price tagwell into the hundreds of thousands of dollars,more reasonable for each farmer, especially whenthe equipment is being used 10 months out of theyear, Kinkaid said.

Kinkaid will stick to his no-till methods andGMO crops, he said. With tilling, Kinkaid said,much of the soil ends up in the Gulf of Mexicofrom soil runoff into streams and rivers.

Although the seed is produced by the bigcompanies, Kinkaid buys his seed locallywhenever he can. “I try to do some business withsmaller businesses, who are just like me, tryingto make a living.”

Often, Kinkaid buys from DuPont Pioneer innearby Wausa. Seed dealer Darren Vannessthere said most of the seed he sells is geneticallymodified, but he does have organic customers.The demand for organics has remained steadyover the years, while the demand for geneticallymodified seed has greatly increased, he said.

As a supplier of the seed, Vanness stays out ofthe GMO debate.

“I just serve the customers that we have here,”Vanness said. “I don’t approach my customerwith an opinion on organic farming one way oranother. That’s their choice, and I’m just there tomeet their needs.”

For Kinkaid, it really comes down toeconomics. Last season he grew conventionalcrops that were not genetically modified but notorganic, either, to see the differences in cost andprofit. He found costs for a conventional crop andgenetically modified crop were about the same,but he said he’ll give it a few more tries before hecan say which is better economically.

When it comes to genetically modifiedorganisms and their safety, Kinkaid said he feelscomfortable.

“As long as the facts are used and not emotion,I would go with whatever the result is,” he said.“But if it’s just emotion, then that’s it. Why arewe wasting our time?”

Like Nissen, Kinkaid believes in the power ofcompetition and producers selling to consumerswhat the consumers demand. As Kinkaid sees it,there isn’t enough competition in the market forgenetically modified seed production, since a fewlarge companies are developing, patenting andselling GM seed.

With more companies in the market, Kinkaidsaid, he would feel more comfortable with theirrole in the farming industry.

Both brothers had been on the dodge fromprosperity and the law their entire adultlives. A snake would break its backfollowing the windy trail left behind bythese two. Now they were hooked up in acow outfit where the calves didn’t suck theright mommas and the horses were “morelegal” the further east you went. Thebrother’s brand was a stain on the goodname of cattlemen everywhere.

Thanks to a banker who couldn’t count ashigh as your average horse, the siblings gota bank loan shortly after leaking into thelandscape. With each year they went deeperin debt and things got so bad the bank hadtheir phone number on speed dial and theirnote was classified as “nuclear”. As indisaster.

For the brothers the upcoming bank visitwas a BIG problem because they had notalways spent the bank’s money for theintended purpose. Consequently their “bookcount” and the actual number of crittersdidn’t exactly match up. This put them in apinch when the local bank got bought outby a much larger regional institution. Itbecame necessary for them to devise a“business plan” for the first time when thebank wanted to see the collateral.

“We got lucky this time brother,” said oneof the crooks, “I heard our new loan officer

is a female so that means the only timeshe’s ever seen beef was in a stew.”

“Yeah, she probably doesn’t know whichend the hay goes in. Here’s what we’ll do.You gather the cattle and I’ll keep heroccupied at the corrals with my charm. Youjust keep rerunning the cattle we got leftand after she counts those same animals afew times it ought to match the bank’scount.”

The brothers were in for a BIG surprise.When their new banker arrived a longstemmed beauty stepped out of the truckwearing well worn boots worn well and asilver and gold roping buckle with hername on it. Uh oh.

“Have a seat here in the shade and drinklemonade,” offered one brother. “My brotherwill run the cattle by in bunches so you cancount them in comfort.”

The brother’s plan seemed to be workingas the banker diligently recorded eachdraft, which represented every knownbreed or combination thereof. About noonone partner offered, “Let’s take a break andgo eat some lunch and have a drink down atthe country club.”

Of course, the idea was to get the ladybanker so drunk she would see double, orcount things that weren’t there thatafternoon. But after three rounds of drinks

that were so strong they’d slip the hair offa hog it was obvious the female bankercould hold her own. More so than thebrothers who between them couldn’t hit thefloor with their hats given six tries.

In the afternoon the cattle were walking alittle slower after six sashays around themountain. After they had made enoughtrips to make the book count match thebank’s, the brothers smugly announcedthat there were no more cattle to count.

As the lady banker was climbing in herpick-up she stuck her head out the windowand said, “My husband and I rope and wehave an arena at our place. We’ve beenlooking for some new practice steers andyou have seven calves that would work realwell for us. It seems there was one calf ineach bunch that would fit the bill, allbrindle with eight inch horns and a whitestar in the shape of a “T” on theirforeheads. They’d make a very uniformgroup. Almost like they were clones orsomething,” she laughed. “I’ll hold offwriting my report to the bank Presidentuntil tomorrow morning. Things might go alot easier for you fellas down at the bank ifyou’d sell me those seven steers and havethem in the corral ready for me to pick upat first light tomorrow morning.”

A recent study showing how mandatory labels for foods made withgenetically modified ingredients would cost families in one state hundreds ofadditional dollars each year at the grocery store is yetanother reason why Congress shouldn't delay in passingthe bipartisan Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act,according to the American Farm BureauFederation.

Andrew Walmsley, a Farm Bureau biotechspecialist, said the Safe and Accurate FoodLabeling Act will provide a federal solutionto protect consumers from a confusingpatchwork of 50-state GMO labeling policies.

Walmsley said Cornell Universityresearchers earlier this month revealed theresults of a study showing that New York's proposedmandatory GMO labeling bill would cost families anaverage of $500 per year at the checkout aisle. Hesaid the findings come on the heels of similar studiesin Washington state and California that showedmandatory GMO labels would result in comparableincreases in the cost of food.

Proponents of GMO labeling say they're concernedabout the safety of foods made with GM ingredients,he said, despite the fact that GMOs "have been usedin our food supply for more than 20 years and nostudy has ever shown them to be unsafe or evendifferent from foods without GMOs."

"There is no uncertainty about the safety of GMOfood ingredients," Walmsley emphasized. "And as theCornell study and others have shown, nor is there anydoubt mandatory state-by-state labeling requirements

will hit consumers' wallets hard, with those who can least afford it hurtingthe most. "

He said the Cornell study found that a mandatory labeling law likethe one proposed would likely cost the state of New York millions of

dollars in revenue to implement the new requirementsand to account for a loss in farm income.

The study was conducted by Bill Lesser fromCornell's Dyson School of Applied Economicsand Management to evaluate the added coststhat will be passed on to consumers ifmandatory labeling becomes law in New York.

The federal legislation would safeguardfarmers' and ranchers' access to the technologythey need to provide consumers with the variety

of food options and price points they expect and need,while ensuring food safety is the leading driver of anational labeling policy. Specifically, the measurerequires FDA to conduct a safety review of all newGMO traits well before they're available onsupermarket shelves and empowers the agency tomandate the labeling of GMO food ingredients if theagency determines there is a health, safety ornutrition issue with a new GMO technology.

The bill would not prevent companies fromvoluntarily labeling their products for the absence orpresence of GMO ingredients, but would insteaddirect FDA to establish federal standards for thosevoluntary labels.

Todd D. Whitney, UNL – Hamilton County Extension Educator

Although corn is grown in every U.S. state,Nebraska is the leading irrigated corn

state; and our “cornhusker state” has manyagricultural leaders. Among those nationallyrecognized key corn researchers is Dr. BrianLarkins, UNL plant scientist, honored by theNational Science Foundation for his researchteam’s effort in identifying the 34,000 mRNAgenes and molecules influencing early corn stagekernel development. While cooperating withRamin Yadegari’s laser dissection microscope labat the University of Arizona and other cornresearchers at Michigan State, Iowa State andIllinois, Dr. Larkin’s UNL team has completedinitial identification of the mRNA’s genetic codefor further improving crop yields.

Although there is still more to learn about corngrowth & genetics, many University Extensionpublications provide details for how to increasecorn production. For example, the “How a CornPlant Develops” guide outlines that the typicalcorn plant develops 20 to 21 total leaves; silksabout 65 days after emergence; and matures

around 125 days after emergence. Variation mayoccur among corn hybrids, planting dates,environments, and locations.

Generally, corn management decisions arebased on vegetative and reproduction growthstaging, and vegetative (V) stages are determinedbased on the number of leaf collars present on thecorn plant. The leaf collar is the light-coloredcollar-like “band” located at the base of an exposedleaf blade, near the area where the leaf bladecomes in contact with the plant stem. Leaveswithin the whorl, not fully expanded and with novisible leaf collar are not included. For example, aplant with 3 collars would be called a V3 plant,but may have 6 leaves showing on the plant.

Yield is directly correlated with the totalnumber of kernels and kernel weights per acre, soany stresses that limit kernel development willalso impact harvest totals. As a corn plantdevelops, the number of ears per plant isdetermined early (prior to the V6 stage), and thenumber of rows per ear is set prior to the V7development stage. So, although potential cornear length is not set until after pollination iscompleted, any corn plant stresses, beginning atthe V6 stage, can influence final kernels per ear

counts. These stresses might include: lowmoisture; hail or frost; nutrient deficiencies;insect damage; and root pruning by cultivation.

So what are some recommendations for cornproducers in the early growing season?

First, install any soil moisture monitoringprobes in fields prior to V4 – V5 corn growthstages. This will help insure that field soilmoisture growing conditions are right when thecorn plants set the number of ears and kernels perrows in the early development. Second, for thoseproducers “hilling” their corn fields, complete thecultivation early, since root pruning near the V6stage can reduce final kernel counts. Third, startcrop insect scouting early and determine if insectsmay be limiting yield. Early season corn rootwormfeeding and insect leaf defoliation may reducefuture kernel development.

Finally, consider using some early season leafnutrient content monitoring tools. For example, anitrogen deficiency with corn plants before the V8stage can cause irreversible decreases in corn eardiameter; kernels per ear; and ultimately less earlength.

May 29, 2014 Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Government

On May 26th we celebrated Memorial Day, anational holiday to remember those who have madethe ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Thewillingness of many to give their lives and livelihoodsto defend our borders, our freedom, and our Republichas helped keep America the greatest nation onEarth.

In addition to honoring the fallen, May is alsoMilitary Appreciation Month. I hope all Nebraskansjoined me in thanking our veterans for their service.The United States is the greatest source of good inthe world in large part because of our men andwomen in uniform.

American servicemen and women have not onlyserved our nation, they have defended democraticvalues around the world, helped other nationsrecover from natural disasters, and defendedinnocent people from terrorists organizations, drugcartels, and oppressive dictators. The strength,intelligence, and readiness of our military can serve

as a deterrence to rogue nations from committingcrimes against other nations or their own people.

In Nebraska, we take great pride in our veterans.We are grateful for their service and we strive tomake sure they receive the benefits and services theywere promised and have earned. Unfortunately, thequality of services for veterans does not alwaysmatch our gratitude.

For example, veterans often face long wait times inscheduling appointments and a record backlog ofcases continues to go unaddressed. Most recently,there are reports as many as 40 veterans diedwaiting for medical appointments at the Phoenix,Arizona Veterans Health System. Some of theseveterans may have been placed on a secret waitinglist to avoid scheduling appointments within therequired period. This behavior is unacceptable and isno way to show our respect to veterans who servedour country, or any American.

The House of Representatives is working toinvestigate this situation, and I recently agreed to co-sponsor H.R. 4031, the Department of VeteransAffairs Management Accountability Act. Thislegislation would allow the Secretary of VeteransAffairs to remove Senior Executive Service employeesbased on their performance. The individuals whoallowed this abuse to occur should be heldaccountable for their actions.

If you are a veteran, or know a veteran, who ishaving difficulty securing your benefits or dealingwith the Veterans Administration (VA), pleasecontact my Grand Island office at (308) 384-3900.The caseworkers in my office may be able to help youcut through the red tape and resolve problems withthe VA, or other federal agencies.

It is an honor to serve veterans because they havegiven us so much. Please take time to honor thosewho did not return from the battlefield, and all whohave served to make possible our many blessings asAmericans.

A Month to Recognize our Heroesby Senator Mike Johanns

We live in a time of tremendous volatility aroundthe world. In some countries today, many familieswouldn’t dream of leaving their houses for fear offalling victim to violence. In other countries, manyfamilies wouldn’t dream of returning to their homesbecause violence has driven them away. Howfortunate we are as Americans to come and go as weplease, with hardly a thought about our safety andfreedom. Memorial Day, we remember the gift thathas been given to us by the men and women who diedto ensure you and I could leave our homes and returnto them without fear.

Memorial Day is a time we honor all Americanswho have made the ultimate sacrifice by giving theirlives for our freedom. Their resolve to defend ourcountry no matter what and put service before self isthe ultimate portrayal of American patriotism. Theircourage and bravery can never be fully repaid, just astheir actions in the name of freedom must never beforgotten.

May was also Military Appreciation Month, anopportunity to recognize all of our armed forces. As amember of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs committee, I

take seriously our duty to care for those who havebravely worn the uniform.

They aren’t the only ones who have sacrificed.Their families have also shown tremendouspatriotism by supporting their loved ones’ service toour country. Gold Star Pins, worn by survivingfamily members of fallen soldiers, honor theirsacrifice. The U.S. Army has created a resource,www.goldstarpins.org, to learn more about what thegold star represents and how you can support theloved ones of those who never made it home.

One way my office has been honoring our heroes inNebraska is through the Veterans History Project. Itinvolves interviewing wartime veterans to foreverpreserve their oral histories within the Library ofCongress. My staff often conducts these interviews orhelps to connect veterans who want to share theirexperiences with interviewers willing to record theseimportant stories for the history books.

We are partnering with an organization calledStory Corps this summer to preserve and help sharestories of post-9/11 veterans and their loved ones. Iencourage those interested in learning more about

these efforts to contact my Omaha office at (402)758-8981.

In May, we also recognized heroes wearing adifferent uniform. National Police Week, a timededicated to those who put their lives on the line toensure our safety here at home. Law enforcementofficers take significant risks to protect and serve ourstate, counties and communities. They are deservingof our gratitude. We must also never forget theheroes here at home who have lost their lives whilemaintaining our peace and security. It is our duty toshow our appreciation and support to the familieswho must carry the burden of their loss.

It can be easy to get wrapped up in our own busyschedules amidst graduations, planting season,holiday picnics and the official kickoff of summer.But, we must not forget that all of these activities arepossible because we are free and confident in ourfundamental security. Thus, we are forever indebtedto the men and women in uniform, who havesacrificed everything to give us the gift of freedomand security. God bless them and God Bless America.

Nebraskans gathered with friends, family, andloved ones to observe Memorial Day. While manyspend time over the long weekend relaxing andenjoying the beginning of summer, the federalholiday is also an opportunity for us to reflect on thememory of those who paid the highest price for ourfreedoms.

Their service and commitment to defending ournation’s truest values are the reason Americans cancontinue to enjoy our most special traditions. Ourway of life is possible because of the generations ofheroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, the patriotswho fought alongside them, and all who continue toserve in the line of duty.

Memorial Day was first known as Decoration Day,established to honor the fallen soldiers of the CivilWar, which saw more casualties than any otherconflict in our country’s history. After World War I, itbecame a time to remember all the brave souls whohave died fighting for our nation.

We honor these soldiers for their heroic acts inuniform and recall the lives they led out of uniform.Family members mourn the loss of a beloved child, a

loving parent, or a committed spouse. These devotedloved ones have also sacrificed and suffered on behalfof our country, and we are deeply grateful for theircontributions to protecting our freedoms as well.

Many Americans commemorate Memorial Day byvisiting the final resting place of the fallen.Nebraskans travel across the state to visit FortMcPherson National Cemetery in Maxwell, wherethe white headstones of the fallen lie peacefullyrepresenting men and women of valor who fought fortheir fellow Americans in wars throughout ournation’s history. Among them is Private First ClassJames W. Fous, an Omaha native who died in battleand was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumouslyfor his courageous acts of service during the VietnamWar.

Twenty-one years old, Private Fous was serving asa rifleman on a mission with his unit in the Kien HoaProvince of Vietnam in the spring of 1968. WhileFous and three of his fellow soldiers were occupyingtheir position for the night in a thickly vegetatedarea, Fous spotted three members of the enemyforces approaching him. He quickly notified his

fellow men and directed fire at the enemy. Foussuccessfully defeated two of the men, but the thirdhurled a hand grenade into Fous’ position beforedisappearing into the dense brush that surroundedthe area.

Showing extraordinary courage, Fous yelled out tothe nearby American soldiers to warn them beforethrowing his own body upon the grenade. He shieldedhis fellow men from the deadly blast, sacrificing hisown life to save the lives of the three other men of hisunit.

Artwork to Showcase Youth

David Hendee, The Omaha World-Herald

Nebraska and Iowa are at the heart of a newfederal soil and water conservation program thatfeatures a focus on public-private partnerships.

The new initiative means local municipal waterutilities, farm equipment manufacturers,universities and stewardship organizations mayteam up for the first time with the U.S.Agriculture Department to jointly fund projects tohelp improve the quality of the region’s soil andwater.

“This is an entirely new approach toconservation,” Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsacksaid Tuesday.

The new public-private partnerships promise toprovide a punch beyond what the federalgovernment could accomplish on its own to keepland resilient and water clean, Vilsack said fromMichigan during a conference call with reporters.The projects also will promote economic growth inagriculture, construction, tourism, outdoorrecreation and other industries, he said.

The initiative is called the RegionalConservation Partnership Program. It willcompetitively award funds to conservationprojects designed by local partners specifically fortheir region. The plan is to address commonnatural resource goals while maintaining orimproving agricultural productivity.

The prairie grasslands and the MississippiRiver basin are two of the eight criticalconservation areas where some of the $1.2 billionin USDA funding will be targeted. Nebraska andIowa are in the grasslands region that spans thePlains from Montana to Texas. Iowa and all orparts of 12 other states are in the MississippiRiver basin region.

The overall goal for the Plains region is torestore and protect native grasslands andwetlands while promoting sustainable use of soiland water to mitigate flooding, drought andoveruse of the Ogallala Aquifer. In Iowa, theMississippi basin goal is to reduce nitrogen,phosphorus and sediment runoff from private landinto the Gulf of Mexico.

Vilsack said eligible partners — such as privatecompanies, nonprofit organizations, agriculturaland conservation organizations and producers —will invest money, manpower and materials intheir proposed initiatives. USDA’s $1.2 billion infunding over the life of the five-year program canleverage another $1.2 billion from partners for atotal of $2.4 billion for conservation. USDA willprovide $400 million in funding this first year.

Mace Hack, executive director of the NatureConservancy’s Nebraska office in Omaha, said heis eager to see how a current Nature Conservancyproject in western Nebraska fits into the newfederal program. This is the first growing seasonfor its Western Nebraska Irrigation Efficiencyproject along the South Platte River.

The organization is studying how on-farm watersavings affect farmers’ financial and hydrologicalbottom lines. The goal is to improve irrigationefficiency on enough acres to measure not justhow each farm benefits but also how the changeson each farm add up to watershed changes, suchas stream flow.

Vilsack said clean land and water investmentsalso create jobs in local communities.Conservation work involves building andmaintaining infrastructure, such as buildingterraces in fields or restoring wetlands, whichrequires hiring contractors, engineers, scientistsand others.

The 2014 farm bill created the new conservationprogram, which merged several existingprograms.

Japan is wanting more exceptions when it comesto the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade dealthat is currently being negotiated than the "rest ofthe 21st century trade agreements combined,"said Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb.

Beef producers from four TPP member countriesare demanding that any TPP agreement be a high-quality deal that eliminates all tariffs on beef,according to the National Cattlemen and BeefAssociation (NCBA).

NCBA said that members of the Five NationsBeef Alliance (FNBA) from Australia, Canada,Mexico, New Zealand and the United States areurging all participants involved in the TPPnegotiations to "re-commit to securing acomprehensive, non-discriminatory outcome —one which eliminates tariffs and importantlyaddresses behind the border trade barriers."

According to NCBA, "FNBA is concerned thatTPP members have not been able to craft a tariff-eliminating deal for beef, and unless all partiesstep up to the plate and reaffirm theircommitment to a trade-liberalizing outcome,countries could begin to drift away from the goalof achieving a 21st century agreement."

FNBA wants a TPP agreement that will make iteasier to do business, facilitating and enhancingtrade, according to NCBA.

FNBA also is calling for each TPP membercountry to provide the same market accessarrangements to all other members, in order toensure that competitive disadvantages are notcreated and trade isn't subsequently distorted.

"TPP members must ensure any agreementdelivers the open trading environment originallyenvisaged," according to FNBA.

The TPP agreement is important to Nebraska'slivestock industry, which had a gross income in2013, according to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, of $11.5 billion for cattle and hogs.Last year, livestock products were Nebraska'slargest trade component at more than $1.5 billion,according to the U.S. Census.

Smith said when it comes to the TPP agreement,agriculture is the "biggest hang-up" for Japan.

"They (Japan) are dependent on the U.S. andother countries for their food," he said. "Whilethey do produce some of their own food, it wouldbe in their best interest to open things up ratherthan having so many exceptions that get awayfrom what trade agreements are intended."

When Japan closed its markets to U.S. beef aftera case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)was discovered in the U.S. in 2003, it halted U.S.beef imports and didn't reopen those marketsuntil nearly three years later. At the time, Japanwas the biggest market for U.S. beef and loss ofthat market dealt a big blow to U.S. beefproducers.

The incidence of BSE in the U.S. is rare, as onlyfour cases have been confirmed out of millions ofhead of cattle.

Smith said Japan's hesitance to reopen itsmarkets to U.S. beef was more political thanbased on science.

"We want good policies based on science on thesetrade issues so political games aren't played withissues like BSE," he said.

Smith is confident that TPP issues involvingJapan can be worked out.

"But we want to be tough negotiators," he said."Like with any trade agreement, we need to be

aggressive negotiators and ultimately haveCongress sign off on what that trade agreementwill be."

The U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF),reported earlier this month that he pace of U.S.beef exports increased sharply in March, drivenby double-digit increases to leading markets inMexico, the China/Hong Kong region and SouthKorea. Exports of U.S. beef rose 12 percent involume to 205.8 million pounds, valued at $516.2million, an increase of 17 percent, according toUSMEF.

The top five importers of Nebraska productswere Canada, Mexico, Japan, China and SouthKorea.

Japan is Proving Difficult in TPP Trade Deal Negotiations

Chabella Guzman, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

The Cattlemen's Ball will kick off on June 6 atthe base of the Scotts Bluff National Monument inthe form of the annual golf tournament.

The Cattlemen's Ball Golf tournament will be atMonument Shadows Golf Course in Gering withregistration at 7:30 a.m. and a shot gun start at8:30 a.m. for the four-person scramble.

"The tournament is just one more thing for ourvisiting guests and locals to enjoy," said Bill Boyer,co-chair of the golf tournament committee for theCattlemen's Ball. His co-chairs are KariGrotemaker and Mike Custer.

He added that they have locals and teams fromacross the state already signed up. The event isopen to 36 teams, or 144 golfers. The event isfilling quickly, but Boyer said there is still time tosign up.

The 18-hole course is very well maintained, hesaid, and visiting golfers will find it challenging.

"It's like many golf courses with water hazardsand should give any golfer a good game," he said.

"It has a great rep in the Panhandle for being apremier course."

He said the golfers will also participate at thebase of the "majestic bluffs."

The proceeds from the tournament will also goto the "Corral a Cure for Cancer" and assist withhealth care research to benefit the University ofNebraska Medical Center — Fred and PamelaBuffett Cancer Center and local health care.

"The benefit is such a great cause," Boyer said."I'm glad to help out. It's been fun and we have alot of people that are glad to help out."

He said the event is also a good way to see whatag producers do for America. A lot of people, hesaid, are removed from farms and ranches andunderestimate the importance of theorganizations.

"The family farm and cattle industry are a hugepart of Nebraska. To see every one of them cometogether to raise money for cancer research,patients and survivors is huge," he said.

Boyer said he has three different familymembers dealing with cancer and enjoys beingpart of something that is working to find a cure.

The event will also host a Hole in One contest,on hole 17, sponsored by Fremont Motors ofScottsbluff, which will donate a brand new car. Infact, there will be prizes on many of the holes.

Boyer said the ball is also hosting its annualraffle for a truck and this year it is a Dodge Ram1500 3.0L Ecodiesel V6 pickup. It's the industry'sfirst light-duty diesel engine with exceptionaltorque, reduced CO2 emissions and the best fueleconomy of any full-size pickup.

"We've had a lot of people nationally interestedin it," he said. "I've sold dozens of tickets for itfrom Arizona to Michigan."

The raffle tickets are $100 and only 1,000tickets will be sold. The winner will be drawnSaturday night after the dinner.

For more information on purchasing tickets orentering the golf tournament, call Boyer at 308-641-9247, email bboyer(at)kneb.com or visitwww.cattlemensball.com.

Nebraska Weekly Weighted Average Feeder Cattle Report Week Ending: 5/27/2014MARKET: Huss Livestock Market LLC – Kearney; Tri-State Livestock Auction – McCook; Valentine Livestock Auction –Valentine; Loup City Commission Co. – Loup City

Receipts: 5,320 Last Week 6,295 Last Year 10,455 Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold sharply higher. This runaway feeder market has yet to show any signs ofstopping or even slowing down as there doesn’t seem to be a counter-weight on the other side. Nebraska buyers aided high-er feeders this week as offerings have become very light locally and appear they may be that way all summer. On the flipside of the coin slaughter steers and heifers sold lower. Live sales sold 2.00 to 3.00 lower at mostly 144.00 and dressed salessold 4.00 lower from 230.00 to 234.00, most 230.00 sales won’t deliver for two weeks. Feeder cattle supply included 48 per-cent steers with near 72 percent of the run weighing over 600 lbs.
