KEARNEY — Every Thursdaywhen the U.S. Drought Monitormap is posted on the NationalDrought Mitigation Center’swebsite, University of Nebraska-Lincoln climatologists know they’llbe asked one question.
How can any of Nebraska still bein drought after so much rain?
“It’s perhaps the most challengingaspect of drought monitoring, whenyou’re coming out of it,” said MarkSvoboda, climate-based monitoringprogram leader at the NDMC.
A common misunderstanding isthat the map reflects only short-term conditions. However, it alsoindicates the long-term (six-monthsto two-years) picture.
State Climatologist Al Dutchersaid the ag sector typically is thefirst to respond at the end of adrought, while longer-term effectsare measured in streamflows,reservoirs, overall surface watersupplies and groundwater recharge.
Svoboda said the past 90 dayshave been good and the past 30 to

Ice cream is one of America's favorite treatsduring the hot summer months. TheInternational Dairy Foods Association says icecream and other frozen desserts are enjoyed by90 percent of households. The U.S. ice creamindustry generated total revenues of $10 billionin 2010, with take-home sales being the largestmarket section. July is National Ice CreamMonth and although ice cream and other frozendesserts are a fun treat, they can differ widely infat and calorie content. Check out the followingtips on how to keep this sweet treat within ahealthy diet plan and serve it safely.
Tips for cutting calories, keeping flavor, andfood safety with ice cream:
•Ice cream and nutrition. Premium ice creamis usually higher in cost, fat, and calories. Icecream with a higher fat content tastes richer andsmoother. Typically a 1/2 cup of vanilla ice creamwill have around 150 calories and 7 grams of fatper serving. Reading Nutrition Facts Labels is agreat way to compare brands and make healthierpurchases. Check the nutrition label of yourfavorite brand and see how it measures up. Asalways, moderation and portion sizes areimportant.
•Frozen dairy product facts. Ice cream has thehighest milk fat and milk solids content, rangingfrom 10 to 14 percent, with specialty versions ashigh as 20 percent. Ice milk usually has moresugar and milk fat ranges from 2 to 7 percent.Sherbet has less milk fat and solids (between 1and 2 percent), more sugar, and usually containsfruit. Frozen yogurt is made from cultured milkand has less milk fat than ice cream and lesssugar than sherbet.
•Storing ice cream safely. When buying icecream and other frozen desserts, be sure they arefrozen solid and the container is not sticky orfrosted. Have ice cream double bagged or bringan insulated bag to reduce melting on the wayhome. Ice cream can be stored in the freezerunopened for up to two months and opened fortwo to three weeks at 0 degrees Fahrenheit orbelow. If stored longer than one month, overwrapthe original container with freezer paper orwrap. Once the ice cream is opened, consume
within seven to ten days for best quality. If icecream or other frozen dairy products thawcompletely, they should be thrown away due tothe danger of bacterial growth.
•Cut the calories, keep the flavor. Typicallywhen people are watching their weight, ice creamends up on the "do not eat" list. Instead ofmaking a big bowl of ice cream with a handful ofberries on top, flip the ingredients around. Enjoya bowl of berries crowned with a small scoop(about ½ cup) of ice cream. For example, one cupof strawberries has about 50 calories and fiber,folate, potassium, and vitamin C. A half cup of alight ice cream adds about 100 calories andcalcium. Or substitute one sliced medium-sizedpeach for the strawberries for about 40 calories.This equals a sweet treat of ice cream and fruitfor about 150 calories.
•Premium ice cream and portion sizes. Somepremium ice creams just aren't available in low-calorie options. However, a small amount of ahigher-calorie food is sometimes all it takes tosatisfy the taste buds. Try scooping two or threetablespoons of a premium ice cream into asmaller container for you or your guests, such asa juice or shot glass. Serve on a small plate witha little cookie and keep calories around the 200level.
July is National Ice Cream Month

Signs these days work as well as an eightterm Congress person. If a sign says wetpaint, people touch it, and how often do yousee an abandoned couch beneath a "NoDumping" sign? If your "No Trespassing"sign isn't stolen, it only serves as aninvitation to party and picnic on yourprivate property. "No Hunting" signs onlyremind hunters to clean their gun inanticipation of hunting season, and if theysee a big buck on your property there isn'ta sign in the world that will keep them offof it.
Let's be honest, who amongst us whenthey see a 65 miles per hour speed limitsign doesn't drive 68 or 69 just to see whatwe can get away with? In every restaurantthat has a sign that says, "No shoes, noshirt, no service" you’re bound to see dinerswearing tank tops and flip-flops becausenone of us like to be told what we can, orcan't, do. Some people see a "No Parking"sign and their reaction is, "Well, we'll justsee about that, won't we now? No one isgoing to tell me where to park!"
Part of the reason that signs don't seemas effective any more is because they arewritten poorly and convey the wrong image.For example, I’ve seen signs in rest roomsof several restaurants that read,"Employees must wash your hands."
I am perfectly capable of washing my ownhands, thank you very much.
Those signs along the road that tell whatservices are available at the next exit canreally be confusing. One in our area says"Hospital Camping Next Exit”, whichmakes visitors wonder how good medicalcare is in our neck of the woods.
Years ago the Readers Digest told of asign in a church that read, "The bowl to therear of the church that says, "For the Sick,”is for monetary contributions only." And asign out front of another church that listedthe week's sermon and special messagessaid, "Do you know what hell is? Come andhear our organist."
Some signs are funny but I’m not surethey were meant to be. As a child on oldRoute 66 every summer we passed a lot ofStuckey's signs that read, "Eat with us andget gas." And I heard about a sign in askyscraper restaurant restroom that read,"Toilet out of order. Please use floor below.”I'd hate to be the janitor in that place.
Your typical ranch signs don't work anymore either. The landlord of a ranch weleased had six expensive "No Trespassing"signs painted. Four of them were stolen inless that a month and years later I spottedone at a former friend’s house!
I think optional signs like these mighthave been more effective in keepingtrespassers out: “Please don't feed theRottweillers or German Shepherds; Don'ttrespass; the Drones are watching; Bulls
mating, stay in your car; Our dogs are notvegetarians; Beware of quicksand.” Insteadof having a sign that shows your home isprotected by some security company haveone instead that says, "This home protectedby Smith, Wesson, Winchester and Baretta.And that ain't no law firm!”
Visual stimuli can also be effective. If youare tired of getting your fences cut tie acouple roadkill squirrels or rabbits and a“High Voltage” sign on your fence alongwith a sign that says... "You will beCHARGED if you cut this fence." If you aretired of your ranch being used as a dumpingground, instead of a "No Dumping" signhave one made that reads “Toxic WasteDump”. If you are a dumping ground for catlitters put up a sign that says, "Catswelcome. Dog food is getting expensive.”
Then there’s the smart rancher who gottired of following slow moving tourists andbig motor homes on the road to his ranch sohe painted his own sign that said,"Historical marker ahead." Then a quartermile up the road he flattened a smallparking lot and placed an importantlooking rock marker with a brass plaque onit that said: "History was made this daywhen a slow-moving, rubbernecking touristpulled to the side of the road so I that Icould finally pass. Adios sucker!"

Heather Johnson, The North Platte Telegraph
He’s humbled by the recognition, but that’s notwhy he does what he does.
Dr. Lawrence Schufeldt was presented with acommemorative Nebraskaland Days 50thanniversary belt buckle during a Buffalo BillRodeo performance weeks ago in North Platte.
The award was a tribute to the more than 20years he has volunteered to provide freechiropractic care to rodeo competitors.
Although he is honored, Schu-feldt would havebeen more comfortable hanging out behind thebucking chutes than standing in the arena infront of a crowd of thousands.
“It’s not about the doctors in this business,”Schufeldt said. “It’s about the contestants.”
Rodeo and the western way of life runs deep inSchufeldt. He was raised on a ranch south ofWhitman and competed in bull riding in highschool.
The owner of the Schufeldt Chiropractic Clinicin North Platte is certified through the ProSportChiropractic program. The network of
chiropractors offers on-sitetreatment to athletes of alltypes across the nation.
Schufeldt was recruited tothe program by his formercollege roommate right afterit began. Soon, he wasspending summers treatingcontestants at rodeosthroughout Nebraska andKansas.
The work promptedSchufeldt to return to schooland obtain a second degree asa certified chiropractic sportsphysician. He also took on thejob of lining up chiropractorsfor rodeos in the prairiecircuit and he treatedcontestants while attendingcontinuing education classesat the National Finals Rodeo,in Las Vegas.
“I don’t enjoy watching therides as much as I used to,”Schufeldt said. “Now, I look more at whethersomeone is getting hurt riding.”
Schufeldt doesn’t go into the arena when anaccident occurs, he leaves that up to paramedics.But he does assist if needed. Over the years, he
has handled concussions,broken bones, dislocations andeverything in between.
“I’ve never had to deal witha fatality — knock on wood,”Schufeldt said, “but there wasa kid in McCook one time whogot his heart stepped on by abull. His heart stopped. We gothim to the hospital andluckily, he lived.”
Schufeldt saidadvancements in safetyequipment have made a hugedifference in the arena. As aresult, the majority of cases hesees are pain and stiffness dueto long hours spent travelingbetween rodeos.
Some of his clients over theyears have included worldchampions, but he hasn’t letthat go to his head.
“I treat them all the same,”Schufeldt said. “I’ll keep
helping the cowboys as long as I’m able to, or untilthe rodeos kick me out. For me, it’s a way to stayinvolved in the sport and the western heritage itrepresents.”

Karla H. Jenkins, UNL Cow/Calf, Range Management Specialist
Many producers have found calving in latespring or summer allows them to match theirfeed resources to the cow’s nutrientrequirements better than spring calving.Producers who choose to calve at this time needto also consider the water requirements ofyoung calves during the heat of summer.
Very little research has been conducted on thewater requirements of nursing beef calves.However, data collected by Dr. Jim Quigley atthe APC Calf Research Unit in Ames, IA onbottle fed dairy calves can largely be applied tonursing calves in the beef sector. In his studies,calves were 3-5 d old at trial initiation andabout 60 d of age at termination. While severalfactors can impact the amount of water calveswill consume, three main factors emerged ashaving the most impact. The amount of milk thecalf consumes, the dry matter intake of feed thecalf consumes, and mean daily hightemperature were the factors having the largestimpact on free choice water consumption.
While it is difficult to know exactly how muchmilk a nursing beef calf is consuming, it is fairto say the amount of milk they get will impacttheir need for free choice water. Dr. Quigley’sresearch group determined calves fed 2.2 lb/d ofcalf starter and no milk replacer at 70°Fconsumed 1 gallon of free choice water daily.
However, when the calves were fed 0.8 gal/d ofmilk replacer in addition to the starter feed atthe same temperature, free choice waterconsumption dropped to 0.66 gal/d. It isinteresting to note that even though milkreplacer was fed at almost a gallon, waterconsumption only dropped by about 1/3.
Dry matter intake is critical for thedevelopment of rumen function. Beef calves in agrazing situation can be seen nibbling at grassby 3-5 days of age. It is important to understandthat due to closure of the esophageal grooveduring nursing; almost all milk will bypass therumen and go straight to the abomasum.Drinking water will enter the rumen andpromote digestion of solid feed in the rumen.Water intake and dry matter intake are highlycorrelated. Beef calves which start feedconsumption early will gain weight quickly andtend to thrive. The Iowa dairy researchersfound that dry matter intake explained morethan 60% of the variation in free choice waterintake. Allowing beef calves access to plenty offresh water will improve dry matter intake,rumen development, and average daily gain.
Temperature plays a very critical role inwater intake in the young calf. This isespecially true at high environmentaltemperatures as the relationship betweentemperature and water intake is exponentialrather than linear. Dr. Quigley’s dairy calfresearch indicated that when calves were fed
2.2 lb/d dry matter at 32°F they consumed 0.37gal/d of free choice water. If the temperaturewas increased to 59°F the calves consumed 0.53gal/d and if the temperature was increased to86° then water intake increased to 0.79 gal/d.These are still fairly mild temperatures. Youngcalves experiencing 90-100°F days wouldcertainly need access to plenty of water.
Calves born in the confinement cow studyconducted by the University of Nebraska areborn in July. At one day of age these calvesexhibit the need for free choice water if the hightemperature is above 90°F. Whether cows areconfined or not, producers need to make surecalves can reach the water source and that thesource adequately refills after cows drink toquickly make water available for the calves.Producers should supply 2-2.5 inches of lineardrinking space per cow/calf pair to supply 16minutes of drinking time every 4 hours. It maybe necessary, in really hot conditions, to placetubs of water out of reach of the cows, butaccessible to calves to prevent dehydration.Calves losing over 14% body water will mostlikely die. Therefore, adequate water iscritically important.
Beef cattle producers should pay carefulattention to ensure water is accessible to youngcalves, particularly in the summer heat.Providing adequate water will increase calfhealth, encourage dry matter intake, andimprove average daily gains.

Week Ending 7/4/2014
Eastern Nebraska: Compared to last week, all reported
forage sold steady. Buyer inquiry was light to moderate. The big
dilemma is what should we price last year’s hay and what will
this years be worth!? Near record rain fall across most of the
state in June has led buyers to pull back bids as there is ample
grazing right now for most livestock. Some alfalfa producers
have started second cutting and hope that it will stay dry long
enough to get it baled in the “right” kind of condition. All sales
are dollars per ton FOB (freight on buyer) stack in medium to
large square bales and rounds, unless otherwise noted. Prices
from the most recent reported sales.
Northeast/Central Nebraska: Alfalfa: Premium large
squares 220.00-230.00; Good large squares 140.00-180.00.
Grass: Premium large squares 160.00. Good small squares
170.00; Dehydrated alfalfa 17 percent protein pellets 300.00-
325.00; meal 305.00-325.00.
Platte Valley area of Nebraska: Ground and delivered
alfalfa 145.00, blended alfalfa product 120.00-135.00. Ground
and delivered corn stalks 90.00-115.00.
Western Nebraska: Compared to last week: All classes
traded steady on very light demand. Central and Western
Wyoming and Western South Dakota is still about a week or
two out on cutting. Rain, Weevils, and hail have been plaguing
areas making for later starts or reduced quality of hay. All
prices dollars per ton FOB stack in large square bales and
rounds, unless otherwise noted. Most horse hay sold in small
squares. Prices are from the most recent reported sales.
Alfalfa: Ground and delivered: 150.00. In windrow: 130.00.
Grass: Large Round: Good 100.00. No reported quotes for other
classes of hay.

Lauren Sedam, The Grand Island Independent
As Jessica Hain ran around setting upequipment, checking to see contestants werefollowing the rules and making sure allvolunteer posts were filled for the Hall CountyFair Horse Show, which wrapped up Tuesday,she knew there was someone there to back herup.
Ever since Jessica herself was a young 4-Hparticipant, her mom, Joann, has supportedher, volunteering countless hours to help makethe event her daughter loved happen.
Now that Jessica is a superintendent for theevent, little has changed.
The bond is not unique to the Hains, Jessicasaid. Another mother-daughter pair, JameeBockerman and her mother, have both held theposition she now fills.
And as the rest of the fair gets underwayWednesday, Jessica said, that family connectionis what makes the horse show before the fairstand out.
"It's always been something (my mom has)done," she said. "And I just followed the lead."
Jessica and Joann bonded over horses longbefore either took a leadership role in theorganization.
Joann had horses growing up, Jessica said,and when Jessica was in about sixth grade, she
started riding and getting involved in 4-H. Shestayed involved with the organization for aboutnine years.
While she was riding, Jessica and her motherspent a lot of time together at horse shows andriding lessons.
Eventually, Joann started looking for a way toget more involved in her daughter's activity.She started volunteering, doing anything andeverything they asked her to, from opening thegate to running to get drinks.
"I just like being involved with kids. I'vealways liked horses and it's just taking a chanceto help other people's children grow and learn,"she said.
When Jessica was no longer able to competein 4-H herself, the transition to becoming anorganizer was an easy one.
"When I was younger I was lucky enough tohave a really good experience in 4-H, and Iwanted to help provide that to the kids in 4-H tohave the same kind of experience that I had,"she said.
But it wasn't just her own experience with theorganization that drove her, Jessica said.Watching her mother all those years set thetone.
"You can't expect somebody to donate theirtime and all those years so I had a positiveexperience and not give that back," she said.
Now, Jessica and Joann work together tomake the event happen.
Having her mom there, Jessica said, isspecial. If she can't find enough volunteers or ifno one wants to do a challenging job, she knowsshe has her.
"Moms are dependable," she said.Joann said she has gotten a lot back, too.Through 4-H, she got to connect with Jessica."It kept me involved with her," she said. "I
could see her grow and make new friends. Itwas a very rewarding experience for me to beable to help her do the things that she was goodat."
And that family bond, Jessica said, definesthe horse show.
She worked as co-superintendent for yearswith Bockerman, whose mother also has heldthe horse superintendent position. Manyvolunteers come together every year to make itall happen, she said, and they're like a familythemselves.
"I think it goes to show that horses are afamily project, and it involves everyone,"Jessica said. "It's not something that kids do ontheir own, and that shows through thevolunteer base."

Three insect orders, Collembola (springtails),Diptera (certain fungus gnats), and Coleoptera(fireflies) can produce light. Most Nebraskansusually refer to fireflies as “lightning bugs;” andgenerally these insects emerge around mid-summer just before Independence Day (July4th). So, they can provide small light showseach night like “free mini-fireworks displays.”Both lightning bug adults and larvae, oftencalled glowworms, produce light. These larvaelook very similar to sowbugs or roly-polies. Notethat sowbugs have 14 legs while lightning buglarvae have only 6 legs.
Besides their unique abdomen glow, lightningbugs (Lampyrids) are excellent predators of softbodies insects like aphids? Lighting bug larvaemay also eat small worms, snails and slugs.
The main reason that lightning bugs flash isto attract mates. Males fly about flashing whilefemales perch on vegetation, usually near theground. If the female sees a flasher, and she isready to mate; the female responds by flashingright after the male’s last flash. Then, a shortflash dialogue continues as the male flies closerand closer. Since there are different species oflightning bugs, each species has its own specialflash pattern. These flash patterns range fromcontinuous glows to single flashes to series ofmulti-pulsed flashes. Fireflies have light-producing chemicals in special organs insidetheir abdomens. The light produced by theseinsects has been called perfect light, since noenergy is wasted as heat.
A study at Cornell University found thatfemales of the genus Photuris flash signals thatattract male fireflies of another species. When amale arrives that mate the Photuris female, shebecomes cannibalistic and eat the male.
Lightning bugs and their larvae can alsoserve as a food source for other animals. Birds,bats, and spiders feed on the adults. Spiders,ground beetles, and other soil-dwellingpredators feed on the larvae.
Not only are lightning bugs beneficial foragriculture and homeowners, but they are alsouseful in human research. The lightning bugcontains luciferin and luciferase, two rarechemicals used for cancer, multiple schlerosis,cystic fibrosis, and heart disease treatments.So, overall lightning bugs are very beneficial.
More information on beneficial insects isavailable through our UNL Extension websitehttp://cropwatch.unl.edu or our UNL –Hamilton County Extension office by calling402-694-6174 or through your local UNLExtension office.

For many years, FSA's Hay Net websitewww.fsa.usda.gov/haynet has been the "go to"online resource for agricultural producers to listinformation concerning the need for hay or theavailability of hay.
Now, in response to requests from livestockproducers and landowners, FSA has expandedthe site to include the option to list a need forgrazing acres or to list acres available forgrazing.
If, due to extenuating circumstances,producers are in need of hay and/or grazingacres to support livestock, please use Hay Netto post an advertisement seeking theseresources. Likewise, landowners who have hayand/or grazing acres available for livestock
producers should post a Hay Net advertisementas well.
A few things to remember when using the HayNet website:
• There is a one-time registration process thatshould be completed by all users who want topost an ad online.
• Users who just want to browse ads DO NOTNEED to have an eAuthentication user id.
• Hay and grazing acre ads will beautomatically removed after a period of 13months.
• Please help your fellow farmer and rancherby keeping ads current and up to date andremove ads you no longer need or want
advertised on Hay Net. Please, no corporateadvertisements on this site.
Hay Net is brought to you by FSA as a publicservice. The sole purpose of this online resourceis to provide a site for the exchange ofinformation. FSA does not endorse, guarantee,or otherwise make representations of any kindregarding any user of this site and FSA is notresponsible for defining the terms of grazingagreements or lease contracts.

HOLDREGE — Current and futuregroundwater recharge projects in the Platte,Little Blue and Republican basins were maintopics of discussion at Tuesday’s Tri-BasinNatural Resources District board meeting.
The board approved an agreement extensionwith the Nebraska Department of WaterResources and Central Nebraska Public Powerand Irrigation District for diversions of highPlatte River flows this spring and early summerinto Elwood Reservoir for groundwaterrecharge benefits in the Platte and Republicanwatersheds.
The original agreement was for DNR and Tri-Basin to equally share the cost — $39 per acre-foot — for up to 10,000 acre-feet of diversions byCNPPID. The excess flows mostly were theresult of high precipitation in Colorado’s part ofthe South Platte Basin.
The high flows and precipitation that delayedirrigation needs in Central’s main service areaof Gosper, Phelps and Kearney counties greatlyreduced releases of stored water in LakeMcConaughy and allowed diversions intoElwood Reservoir to continue until Monday.
Total diversions were more than 13,000 a-f,according to CNPPID Irrigation DivisionManager Dave Ford.
Tri-Basin directors voted Tuesday to approvethe extended agreement and pay the costs forthe additional water. The main benefits for Tri-Basin and DNR are groundwater rechargecredits from water that seeps from ElwoodReservoir.
“I thought it went well,” Ford said about thediversions. “We raised the lake about 13 feet.”
He added that Elwood now is about 11 feetfrom full.
Tri-Basin General Manager John Thorburnsaid the new agreement will allow additionaldiversions in the fall, if Platte River flows arehigh enough.
Ford also reported that Lake McConaughywas 7 feet higher Tuesday than on July 8, 2013.Its 1.15 million a-f of water was 66 percent of afull reservoir.
CNPPID customers started irrigating overthe weekend, so there finally is more waterbeing released — 900 cubic feet per secondcompared with more than 3,000 cfs a year ago— than coming into the lake. Ford said that ina typical irrigation season, Lake McConaughywould drop 12 to 13 feet, but the declineprobably will be less this year.
“It all depends on what the weather does fromhere on out,” he said, adding that the patternusually is for peak irrigation use around July 4and then tailing off the rest of the season.
Also Tuesday, Thorburn gave his directorscopies of preliminary plans and cost estimatesfrom E&A Consulting Group of Omaha for theproposed Sand Creek groundwater rechargeproject in eastern Kearney County. Sand Creekis a Little Blue River tributary southeast ofMinden.
The project would create a shallow reservoirnorth of Highway 74 from which diverted creekwater would be held and seep for groundwaterrecharge. The goal is for recharge in May andGrant townships where there have been aquiferdeclines.
Thorburn has said there is no base flow in thecreek, so the reservoir would be catching onlygroundwater.
The estimated project cost, including a 15percent contingency, is more than $653,000.
Thorburn asked the directors to review theproposal and consider questions for the
engineers. Also, a meeting of the ad hoc SandCreek Land Committee will be scheduled.
He told the Hub the next step is to look atpotential funding, including new water projectfunding included in LB1098, which was passedby the Nebraska Legislature this year. Tri-Basin officials will continue working on landrights for the project.
“These types of projects are long-termprojects,” Thorburn said, commonly takingthree to five years. “Budget considerations aregonna rule this from here on.”
He also met in closed session with the boardto look at a potential groundwater recharge sitein Tri-Basin’s part of the Republican Basin.
That area may be one of the stops for theboard’s annual projects tour Aug. 12. Thorburnis setting up stops west of Holdrege thatprobably will include dinner and an afternoonboard meeting in Smithfield.
The annual public hearing on the fiscal year2014-2015 budget likely will be on the Aug. 12meeting agenda. Thorburn distributed an earlyversion of the budget to the board Tuesday. Thenext steps are an Executive Committee meetingearly next week and a special budget session forthe entire board at which the public hearingwill be set.
In other business, the board approved anapplication for a $35,000 DNR grant to improveTri-Basin’s databases. Thorburn said theimprovements are long overdue and will fitDNR’s interest in having the NRD modify itsreports to the state.
The grant application is due July 15, and heexpects to hear if it is approved within 30 days.

60 days have been really good for south-centralNebraska precipitation, so “things are startingto turn that corner.”
However, impressive precipitation deficitsfrom the past few years still must be made up.
“There’s a natural lag in the system’s memory.... Each part of the state and the countryresponds differently” when emerging from adrought, Svoboda explained, depending onfactors such as geology and the time of the year.
Dutcher said soil moisture deficits continuefrom 2012. “You have to fill up your profile toyour root system first before the water goes ondown to the aquifer,” he said.
Climatologists reviewing data to identify thelocations and severity of drought on theDrought Monitor map must balance the dryconditions of the past few years with thecurrent wet conditions.
Widespread rainSvoboda said a plus for Nebraska is that 2014
rains have fallen across the state. “The overallmoisture has been good, but not unworldlycrazy,” he said.
He said Nebraskans aren’t seeing record-breaking amounts in the recent rainfall. “It’s allrelative. It’s been so dry so many places forthree or four years, so this seems like gangbusters,” he said.
Despite the good news, those long-termdeficits must be made up before all signs ofdrought are removed from the Drought Monitormap. Dutcher expects that Thursday’s new mapwill reflect only long-term drought conditions inNebraska.
“The most stubborn area will be thesouthwest part of the state. They have the mostground to make up,” Svoboda said.
Central Platte Natural Resources DistrictHydrologist Duane Woodward of Grand Islandsaid, “On the groundwater front, we kind of relyon the fall (static groundwater) readings to seehow far down we are ... how much we havepumped.”
Although precipitation has kept mostirrigation systems idle early in this growingseason, which Woodward said will help the fallreadings, it still will take years to recover pastgroundwater depletions. Many parts of theCPNRD along the north side of the Platte Riversaw declines of 4.5 to 5 feet from spring 2012 tospring 2013 and smaller declines from 2013 to2014.
Conditions could change“Right at this time, I don’t see an agricultural
drought,” Dutcher said, but he cautioned that itwouldn’t take much to reverse agriculture’sshort-term good fortunes.
“All you would need is three weeks of noprecipitation,” he said, explaining that drylandcrops generally need 6-7 inches of moisture inJuly. Getting that entire amount from MotherNature also is a concern for farmers with storm-damaged or destroyed pivot irrigation systemsthat aren’t yet operational.
Dutcher is more conservative whenconsidering long-term drought indicators,particularly surface water supplies. He saidpeople tend to live in the moment and mayunderestimate the effects of past drought.
Surface water suppliesDutcher noted that Central Nebraska Public
Power and Irrigation District officials havemaintained water-use restrictions on theirirrigators despite the wet weather and higherPlatte Basin river flows.
CNPPID Civil Engineer Cory Steinke ofHoldrege said Central’s primary irrigationservice area in Gosper, Phelps and Kearneycounties probably is out of drought. “But I haveother concerns,” he added.
The big one is continuing baseline declines forNorth Platte River flows into LakeMcConaughy that won’t be reversed by thisyear’s rainfall or “spills” of excess water fromupstream reservoirs.
On Friday, Lake McConaughy’s elevation wasalmost 5 feet higher than a year ago. Steinkesaid the lake has been gaining about 0.3 of afoot a day, compared with losing that amount ormore daily at the end of June 2013.
Inflows were 1,000 cubic feet per second onFriday. Releases of 600-700 cfs compare with2,000-3,000 cfs in 2013.
High flows in the South Platte River continueto be diverted into Elwood Reservoir. TheCentral board has authorized its staff to exceedthe original 10,000 acre-feet diversion cap,expected to be reached today or Wednesday, byup to another 5,000 a-f.
“Yeah, we like this rain,” Steinke said. “It haspushed irrigation back. We probably won’t seethe big pickup on July 4 like we usually see.Right now, everything is good.”
So, his worries aren’t for today’s LakeMcConaughy inflows, but for what they mightbe 20 years from now.
Meanwhile, Dutcher remains optimistic aboutprecipitation prospects for the rest of thissummer because the wet weather patternshaven’t changed.
“I was a little bit worried in April going intoMay, but it started (raining), and we haven’tlooked back,” he said. “There is a saying in mybusiness that dry breeds dry and wet breedswet.”

Teachers became the students last week duringa two-day workshop on soil conservation.
Educators spent their day at ESU #13 at theworkshop, “Educating the Next Generation ofNebraskans about Soil Conservation using thePower of Geographic Information Systems.”
Part of their day included a field trip to theUniversity of Nebraska Extension Center andexperimental farm road where The University ofNebraska grows winter wheat, canola, dried beansand corn.
As part of the class, teachers learned how tocreate new lessons for their students. Topicscovered were the importance of geography, treeconservation and soil conservation.
Teachers also spent their time learning aboutand creating story maps, which can be used in anumber of different applications.
“A story map is like a National Geographicarticle,” said Harris Payne, director of social
studies for the Nebraska Department ofEducation. “There are three components: photos,text/story and a map.”
In a National Geographic article, maps arelocked in and static. Story maps use computermapping techniques to make them interactive.
“You can then make a story about anything,”Payne said.
When in the field, teachers used GPS to obtainlatitude and longitude of a particular area andmade notes of location and soil conservationpractices in place. They then used thisinformation to build their story maps.
Each workshop includes a speaker from theGIS/LMS (land management systems) user groupacross the state. Jeff Sprock, GIS coordinator forNRD, demonstrated how to use technology tomonitor water levels in wells in the North PlatteBasin as well as other ways GIS is used in the realworld.
Using GIS in soil conservation allows companiesor individuals to learn better techniques to keepsoil healthy.
“We’re illustrating to a general audience aboutthe practice of soil conservation and why it’shelpful,” said Lesli Rawlings, assistant professorof geography at Wayne State College.
Rawlings said the USDA has soil databases ontheir website and they are in charge ofdescriptions.
“They have soil listed by soil type, drainage andwhether the soil is suitable for building on,” shesaid.
Payne said the motivation behind creating theworkshop was Nebraska state standards forgeography, earth science and agriculture requirestudents to learn about soil conservation and GISand workshops allow teachers to gain a betterunderstanding of both so they can teach theirstudents.
GIS teaches students spacial awareness and anunderstanding of natural and social sciences. Italso uses math, computer, problem solving,decision-making and communication skills.
GIS is used in many fields, including planning,resource management and wildlife management.Payne said GIS is one of the hottest technology
fields in the U.S. and job opportunities will openup for qualified students in the future.
“We will need 360,000 trained by 2016,” he said.A grant made it possible for Payne to put on
workshops for the next three summers to increasetechnical knowledge using GIS technology.
Payne will host five workshops per year forthree years, scattered across the state to educateas many teachers as possible. Because of changesin licensing, Environmental Systems ResearchInstitute, the world’s largest producer of GISsoftware, is more accessible.
“Individual teachers can now apply for anaccount and run their own online website for theirclassroom,” Payne said.
Payne will conduct a follow-up webinar andevaluation in the fall to get feedback and tweakthe program.
“Next year, we’ll do urban conservation and thenthe final year create books from pastparticipants,” he said.
Soil health is always a concern, particularly inwestern Nebraska and water needs to beconserved.
“We educate the teachers so they can educatethe kids about the importance of soilconservation,” he said.

LINCOLN — U.S. Agriculture Deputy SecretaryKrysta Harden today announced theimplementation of new Farm Bill measures andother policy changes to improve the financialsecurity of new and beginning farmers andranchers. Harden also unveiledwww.USDA.gov/newfarmers, a new website thatwill provide a centralized, one-stop resourcewhere beginning farmers and ranchers canexplore the variety of USDA initiatives designedto help them succeed.
”New and beginning farmers are the future ofAmerican agriculture,” Said Deputy Secretary
Harden. “The average age of an American farmeris 58 and rising, so we must help new farmers getstarted if America is going to continue feeding theworld and maintain a strong agriculture economy.The new policies announced today will help givebeginning farmers the financial security theyneed to succeed. Our new online tool will provideone-stop shopping for beginning farmers to learnmore about accessing USDA services that can helptheir operations thrive.”
USDA’s www.usda.gov/newfarmers has in depthinformation for new farmers and ranchers,including: how to increase access to land andcapital; build new market opportunities;participate in conservation opportunities; selectand use the right risk management tools; andaccess USDA education, and technical supportprograms. These issues have been identified astop priorities by new farmers. The website willalso feature instructive case studies aboutbeginning farmers who have successfully utilizedUSDA resources to start or expand their businessoperations.
Today’s policy announcements in support ofbeginning farmers and ranchers include:
Waiving service fees for new and beginningfarmers or ranchers to enroll in the Non-InsuredCrop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for the2014 crop year. NAP provides risk managementtools to farmers who grow crops for which there isno crop insurance product. Under this waiver,announced via an officialnotice to Farm ServiceAgency offices, farmers and ranchers whomalready enrolled in NAP for the 2014 crop year areeligible for a service fee refund.
Eliminating payment reductions under theConservation Reserve Program (CRP) for new andbeginning farmers which will allow routine,prescribed, and emergency grazing outside theprimary nesting season on enrolled landconsistent with approved conservation plans.Previously, farmers and ranchers grazing onCRP
land were subject to a reduction in CRP paymentsof up to 25 percent. Waiving these reductions fornew and beginning farmers will provide extrafinancial support during times of emergency likedrought and other natural disasters.
Increasing payment rates to beginning farmersand ranchers under Emergency Assistance forLivestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised FishProgram (ELAP). Under this provision, beginningfarmers and rancherscan claim up 90 percent oflosses for lost livestock, such as bees, under ELAP.This is a fifty percent increase over previouslyavailable payment amounts to new and beginningfarmers.
These policy announcements are made possiblethrough the 2014 Farm Bill, which builds onhistoric economic gains in rural America over thepast five years, while achieving meaningfulreform and billions of dollars in savings for thetaxpayer. Since enactment, USDA has madesignificant progress to implement each provisionof this critical legislation, including providingdisaster relief to farmers and ranchers;strengthening risk management tools; expandingaccess to rural credit; funding critical research;establishing innovative public-privateconservation partnerships; developing newmarkets for rural-made products; and investing ininfrastructure, housing and community facilitiesto help improve quality of life in rural America.For more information, visitwww.usda.gov/farmbill.
The Deputy Secretary made theseannouncements at the inaugural meeting of thereconvened Beginning Farmer and RancherAdvisory Committee held at the University ofCalifornia Davis, California. This AdvisoryCommittee, composed of 20 members, includingExtension agents, lenders, farmers, ranchers andacademics will meet through 2015 to learn,discuss, and formulate recommendations to USDAon how to support new and beginning farmers.

Features and Benefits• Produce consistent bales because the optional monitoring
system displays the weight and estimated moisture of
each bale.
• Large capacity lets you work efficiently, thanks to the power
windguard working in conjunction with pick-up tines to
condition crop and move more material into the bale chamber.
• Get the Vermeer Package -- a simple, ruggedly designed Super
M baler with the Vermeer reputation for excellence.
• Complete more bales per day by increasing baling speed and
pick-up capacity, decreasing labor and time.
• Clear blockages without getting off your tractor by simply
reversing the rotation of the power windguard, which unplugs
the pick-up.
• See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and
genuine Vermeer replacement parts.

A coalition of agricultural organizationscalled Common Sense Nebraska has formed toprevent implementation of a proposedEnvironmental Protection Agency rule that thecoalition said would "vastly expand the federalagency's authorities over farms and ranches."
Common Sense Nebraska includes theNebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Corn GrowersAssociation, Nebraska Farm BureauFederation, Nebraska Pork ProducersAssociation, Nebraska Poultry Industries,Nebraska Soybean Association and NebraskaState Dairy Association.
Coalition members held a press conferenceabout six miles south of the Alda interchange onInterstate 80 in a soybean field owned by TravisRainforth. The coalition's purpose is to bringattention to the proposed EPA rule through its"#DitchTheRule" campaign. For moreinformation, visit www.ditchtherule.fb.org.
According to the coalition, the proposedWaters of the U.S. Rule would seek to bringponds, ditches and other areas where waterflows or pools during or after rainfall underfederal Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction.They said the proposed rule would even apply ifsuch areas aren't wet most of the time andwould subject farmers and ranchers to CleanWater Act programs, regulations andpermitting requirements.
Steve Nelson, Nebraska Farm BureauFederation president, said the EPA proposalhas "little to do with improving the quality ofwater and a lot to do with EPA having morecontrol over land use."
"They've tried to spin this rule as simplyclarifying confusion on the limits of theirpowers under the CWA," Nelson said. "Theirversion of clarification is to regulate all water,everywhere. We're working to help farmers andranchers tell EPA it's time to ditch the rule,"
Nelson said the EPA is serious about the rulesand regulations it's proposing.
"The new rules they are talking aboutimplementing would truly change how farmersand ranchers operate their farms now and intothe future in a very, very significant way," hesaid.
According to the coalition, the power toregulate ponds, ditches and the other waterfeatures in question was specifically given tostate and local jurisdictions when Congressadopted the Clean Water Act, while EPA wascharged with regulating "navigable waters"such as rivers. The U.S. Supreme Court hastwice ruled against EPA for similar efforts toexpand its reach.
Under the proposed rule, the coalition said,basic activities such as tilling the soil,fertilizing crops, changing land use and evenbuilding a fence would require permits whenwater features are present. Permittingrequirements can be costly and timeconsuming, while many farming practices aretime sensitive.
During June, much of Nebraska received 6 to10 inches of rain. The soybean field where thepress conference was held saw more than 13inches of rain during June, Rainforth said. Thefield was littered with weeds because heavyrains prevented Rainforth from taking care ofthem. Nelson said fields like Rainforth's thatreceived rain and had water running on them"would be land that the EPA would have controlover" under the proposed regulation.
"They would do this by requiring permits,"Nelson said. "You would have to have permits todo normal farming practices whether it becultivating, spraying weeds — whatever itmight be, you would have to have a permit to dothat."
Joel Grams, Nebraska Corn GrowersAssociation president, said so much of whatfarmers do depends upon nature and theweather.
"When weeds and insects start destroyingcrops, we need to act," he said. "If we have towait on a Washington, D.C., agency's approvalto put on crop protection products, we'll lose ourcrops. If they really understand this rule, Ithink you'd be hard-pressed to find a farmer orrancher who wouldn't be negatively impacted."
U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., is co-sponsoring a bill that would prevent the EPAand the Army Corps of Engineers fromfinalizing a proposed rule that would ignorelimits established by Congress regardingregulation of bodies of water. The rule wouldexpand federal regulatory authority beyondnavigable waters, which was the scope ofjurisdiction established by Congress.
Johanns called the proposed rule a "massivepower grab by EPA, which has demonstratedtime and again that it is out of touch and out ofcontrol."
According to the EPA website, the proposedWaters of the U.S. Rule would not protect anynew types of waters that have not historicallybeen covered under the Clean Water Act. TheEPA said the rule is consistent with theSupreme Court's more narrow reading of CleanWater Act jurisdiction.
The EPA said the proposed rule would notregulate groundwater and would not expandEPA jurisdiction over ditches. The rule"actually proposes to reduce jurisdiction and
exclude certain ephemeral and intermittentditches."
But the proposed rule would "reducesconfusion about Clean Water Act protection,"according to the EPA. The EPA saiddetermining when the Clean Water Actprotected streams and wetlands "becameconfusing and complex following SupremeCourt decisions in 2001 and 2006."
Specifically, the proposed rule clarifies that,under the Clean Water Act, most seasonal andrain-dependent streams are protected, andwetlands near rivers and streams are protected.
Other types of waters may have moreuncertain connections with downstream water,and protection will be evaluated through a case-specific analysis of whether the connection is oris not significant. However, EPA said, theproposal requests comment on optionsprotecting similarly situated waters in certaingeographic areas or adding to the categories ofwaters protected without case-specific analysis.
The EPA also said the proposed rule wouldprovide an estimated $388 million to $514million annually of benefits to the public,including reducing flooding, filtering pollution,providing wildlife habitat, supporting huntingand fishing and recharging groundwater.
"The public benefits significantly outweighthe costs of about $162 million to $278 millionper year for mitigating impacts to streams andwetlands and taking steps to reduce pollution towaterways," the EPA said.
During Tuesday's press conference, BarbCooksley, Nebraska Cattlemen vice president,said farmers and ranchers "strive every day toprotect our land and water for the futuregenerations of beef producers."
"This proposed rule will greatly hinder ourability to care for our diverse landscape here inNebraska as well as manage our land and waterresources in harmony with wildlife, habitat andthe needs of our cattle," Cooksley said.
Larry Sitzman, Nebraska Pork ProducersAssociation executive director, said CommonSense Nebraska will work to bring awareness tofarmers, ranchers and the general public "abouthow harmful this rule would be."
"We're also going to work to build ourcoalition outside of agriculture as virtuallyanyone who puts a spade in the ground andturns the soil would be affected by thisproposal," Sitzman said.

HOLDREGE — Irrigation deliveries areramping up this week as temperatures rise andcrop water needs increase, according to a reportat Monday’s Central Nebraska Public Power andIrrigation District board meeting.
Irrigation Division Manager Dave Ford saidJune precipitation in most parts of the district’sservice area exceeded 8 inches, which is 3 to 4inches better than average. However, the arearemains about 2 inches less than normal for theyear to date.
Deliveries to Central irrigation customers arelimited to 9 inches per acre this season. Ford saidthe June precipitation has been important toextend the storage water supply in LakeMcConaughy.
According to a CNPPID press release, the lakehad above-normal inflows at the same time rainfell on south-central Nebraska crops. Thoseconditions allowed Lake McConaughy to reach apeak elevation of 3243.1 feet last week, whichwas one-half foot higher than the 2013 peak.
The reservoir was 7.5 feet higher Monday andstored about 163,000 acre-feet more water thanon July 7, 2013.
Inflows recently fell back to normal for earlyJuly. They were at 417 cubic feet per second as ofMonday, compared with the historic median of604 cfs.
Also related to the lake, Gothenburg DivisionManager Kevin Boyd said preliminary reportsindicate there may have been a record number ofJuly 4th weekend visitors. Nebraska Game andParks Commission officials are confirming thenumbers.
Meanwhile, CNPPID pumping of excess water— the result of high flows from the South PlatteRiver — continued into Elwood Reservoir untilMonday.
The diversions, which were done in cooperationwith Tri-Basin Natural Resources District andthe Nebraska Department of Natural Resources,totaled about 13,000 a-f and raised the reservoir’selevation by more than 13 feet. The additionalreservoir water also provided groundwaterrecharge benefits in the Platte and Republicanwatersheds.
Also Monday, the board was told by CivilEngineer Cory Steinke that Central officials andconsultants for the proposed J-2 reregulatingreservoirs met last week with representatives ofstate and federal agencies. Discussion topicsincluded potential environmental effects and anystudies needed to fill information gaps and/oranswer resources agencies’ questions.

CONTROLLING SUMMER GRASSES IN ALFALFA
Wet soils in alfalfa fields right after cuttingwill certainly do one thing. It will help weedygrasses like foxtail and crabgrass grow.
So, how do you reduce the amount of foxtailand other weedy grasses in your hay? Well, thebest way to start is to keep your alfalfa thickand thrifty so it will compete aggressively withinvading foxtail. Thick initial stands and goodsoil fertility are needed. In addition, harvestalfalfa only after it begins to bloom or when newshoots appear at the base of the plants. Thenalfalfa should regrow rapidly so foxtail doesn'tget much time to become a problem.
Unfortunately, this method often is easiersaid than done. It also may sacrifice someforage quality since harvest occurs after bloombegins. So this method may not solve all yourproblems.
Herbicides are another option. Roundupworks great, but only for Roundup Readyvarieties. In conventional alfalfa, twoherbicides that control annual grasses areSelect Max and Poast Plus. These herbicideswork well on seedling grasses that are less than4 inches tall, and alfalfa tolerates bothherbicides very well. Another herbicide option,but a much more risky option, is GramoxoneExtra. Gramoxone burns back top growth of allgreen plant material. This will kill mostannuals like foxtail, but it also can injurealfalfa regrowth that has already emerged.Therefore, only use Gramoxone immediatelyafter harvest and before any new regrowthshoots appear. None of these herbicides haveany soil residual activity, so good plant coverageis necessary and you may need to repeat thespraying if new weeds emerge.
If weedy grasses are a problem in your hay,thick and vigorous alfalfa stands and some well-chosen herbicides can help you get it undercontrol.
PRAIRIE HAY STRATEGIES
When should you cut prairie hay? Let’s lookat some things to consider.
When is the best time to cut prairie hay?While it’s still leafy? When it heads out? Afterit’s done growing for the year?
First let’s make sure we all know what I meanby prairie hay. In today’s message, I’m talkingmostly about warm-season grasses like thebluestems and gramas, indiangrass,switchgrass, lovegrass, or prairie sandreed.There might be some wheatgrass or junegrassor other cool-season species present, but if thisfield is fully green and growing by mid-April inNebraska, it’s not what I’m calling prairie hay.
One factor to consider when timing harvest ofprairie hay is stand persistence. Producerexperience and university research both showthat prairie hay stands decline rapidly if theyare often harvested twice a year. Another factoris hay quality. Prairie hay cut in late June orearly July might have over 10 percent proteinand 65 percent TDN. But as grass gets olderand develops seedheads and stems, its foragequality will decline. If you wait until August tocut, protein might drop down as low as 5percent and TDN as low as 45 percent.
Other practical considerations might be yourdifficulty harvesting all your prairie hay at onceand your potential need for both high qualityhay for young stock and average quality hay fordry cows.
What I think this means is that mostoperations should have at least two differentprairie hay areas. Harvest one area in lateJune or early July for high quality and again inOctober if sufficient regrowth occurs. Harvestthe other area just once in early August for highyield. Then switch areas the next year.
Prairie hay is a valuable resource. Extra carecan assure long term production of highlyuseable

Heather Johnson, The North Platte Telegraph
The concept of community-supportedagriculture is gaining momentum in LincolnCounty.
On Wednesday, Cathy Grauerholz loadedlaundry baskets full of produce into a suburbanand dropped them off at the West Center Researchand Extension Center in North Platte. It was thefirst of many deliveries she will make every weekthrough mid-October.
The crops were raised on Grauerholz’s farmabout 6 miles south of Hershey. People paid her atthe beginning of the season and, in return, shegives them fresh fruits and vegetables on a weeklybasis. The food is distributed at sites in NorthPlatte and Wallace.
“CSAs are really popular in urban areas,”Grauerholz said. “My daughter was part of one inDenver, but they are pretty rare around here. Iwish more people would get into them.”
She decided to pursue a CSA business this yearas way to phase out another one. Grauerholz has
been taking crops to farmers markets since theearly ’90s.
“I’m getting older, and the farmers markets area lot of work,” Grauerholz said. “With the CSA, Ican do business from home.”
She calls her venture SugarSand Farms.Grauerholz grows crops on an acre of land withthe assistance of three seasonal employees. Twohigh tunnels allowed her to start the plants thefirst part of April, as opposed to waiting until mid-May.
“I raise almost everything except broccoli,cabbage and sweet corn,” Grauerholz said. “I haveabout five kinds of cucumbers, seven to eightvarieties of tomatoes and three different types ofonions.”
So far, sales have been through word of mouth.There has been enough interest that Grauerholzis not taking on any new customers this season.However, she does plan to start a waiting list fornext year.
“I charge $225 for half a share, which feeds oneto two people,” Grauerholz said. “A full share is$450, which is usually enough for three to fivepeople.”
Shareholders run the risks with her when itcomes to hail, insects and other factors capable ofcontributing to unforeseen crop failures. However,Grauerholz believes there are a lot of benefits tobe gained from CSA food.
“You know exactly where your food is comingfrom,” Grauerholz. “Shareholders are welcome tocome out to the farm and see how the produce isdeveloping.”
Although she is not certified organic,Grauerholz follows organic growing principles.She doesn’t use chemicals on her plants andresorts to compost for fertilizer.
“Everything is fresh and pure,” Grauerholz said.“The fewer chemicals in our lives the better.”
More information is available on the SugarSandFarms Facebook page.

Wind damage to trees – Manytrees suffered wind damage as aresult of recent storms. Winddamage can lead to structuralproblems and potential hazardousconditions and future problems fora tree if corrective pruning is notdone. As the saying goes "an ounceof prevention is worth a pound ofcure" and preventative/correctivepruning is well worth the time andeffort to prevent further and moreserious problems. Some key pointswhen wind damage occurs are:
• Safety first. Assess thesituation and hire a certifiedarborist to prune/remove damagedbranches that are clear hazardsusing correct pruning practices.
• In many instances time onlyallows for broken branches and‘hangers’ to be removed quickly forsafety purposes. Be sure to have anarborist return to make a correctpruning cut so stubs and/or brokenbranches are not left in the tree.
• Do not treat the wind damageor wounds with a pruning paint ordressing of any kind as a tree’s bestline of defense is a proper pruningcut.
• Do not apply fertilizers or over-irrigate in hopes of helping the treerecover more quickly. These typesof activities will further stress thetree, are unnecessary, and canprovide a more favorable growingenvironment for harmful decaycausing organisms. (Source: EricBerg, Nebraska Forest Service)
• For information on hiring anArborist see: http://www.nfs.unl.edu/treecare/hiringanarborist.as.For information on identifyinghazards in trees see: http://www.in.gov/dnr/forestry/files/04_Identify_and_Manage.pdf
Watering young trees- Newlyplanted trees require consistentlymoist soil to establish new roots.Correct watering of trees to avoidover- and under-watering is criticalto establishment and long termhealth. Young trees in areas withheavy rain and or flooding willneed to be watered once soils dryout. Roots will have been stressedand or killed by flooding or excesssoil moisture. Once the soil dries,correct watering will be importantto promote growth of new roots toreplace roots that are lost.
Post emergence crabgrasscontrol- Crabgrass is emerging orsoon will be. If so, a postemergenceherbicide may be needed ifcrabgrass control is desired.Typical preemergence herbicideslike prodiamine or pendimethalinmay provide postemergence controlof small crabgrass, butpostemergence herbicides are moreeffective once crabgrass hasemerged. Do not forego the use of apreemergence herbicide just yet ascrabgrass will continue togerminate well into July. At thefollowing link are the currentrecommendations forpostemergence control of crabgrassin cool-season turf.

LINCOLN — The U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s (USDA) Farm Service Agency(FSA) will begin accepting requests formarketing assistance loans (MALs) and loandeficiency payments (LDPs) for eligible 2014commodities. MALs and LDPs for the 2014 cropyear become available to eligible producersbeginning with harvest/shearing season andextending through a specific commodity’s finalloan availability date.
MALs and LDPs provide financing andmarketing assistance for wheat, feed grains,soybeans, and other oilseeds, pulse crops, rice,peanuts, cotton, wool, mohair and honey. MALsprovide producers interim financing afterharvest to help them meet cash flow needswithout having to sell their commodities whenmarket prices are typically at harvest-timelows. Allowing farmers to store their products atharvest facilitates a more orderly marketing ofcommodities throughout the year. A producerwho is eligible to obtain a loan, but agrees toforgo the loan, may obtain an LDP if such apayment is available.
The final loan availability dates are asfollows: January 31 – mohair, unshorn pelts(LDP only), and wool March 31 – barley, canola,crambe, flaxseed honey, oats, rapeseed, wheat,and sesame seed May 31 – corn, dry peas, grain
sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, safflower seed,chickpeas, soybeans, and sunflower seed
The 2014 Farm Bill also establishes paymentlimitations per individual or entity not toexceed $125,000 annually on certaincommodities for the following program benefits:price loss coverage payments, agriculture riskcoverage payments, marketing loan gains(MLGs) and LDPs. These payment limitationsdo not apply to MAL loan disbursements. Pleaseconsult your local FSA office for details.
Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) provisions weremodified by the 2014 Farm Bill, which statesthat a producer whose total applicable three-year average AGI exceeds $900,000 is noteligible to receive an MLG or LDP.
The 2014 Farm Bill establishes national loanrates for the 2014 crops of wheat, feed grains,oilseeds, pulse crops, wool, mohair, and honey.County loan rates also are announced for the2014 crops of wheat, corn, grain sorghum,barley, oats, soybeans and other oilseeds(sunflower seed, flaxseed, canola, rapeseed,safflower, mustard seed, crambe and sesameseed); and regional loan rates for 2014 pulsecrops (dry peas and lentils).

For those who have enjoyed the relatively coolerstart to July, more of such conditions may be instore.
The chances for cooler-than-normal weather forthe rest of the summer have increased over muchof the Missouri River Basin, according to long-term forecasts discussed during a conference call.The call was hosted by the Army Corps ofEngineers Missouri River Basin WaterManagement Division.
That forecast also calls for better chances forgreater-than-normal precipitation over the nextthree months for the western and northern partsof the basin, which stretches north through theDakotas and west across Montana.
The next seven to 10 days should bring somemore precipitation to the region but not the kindof heavy rains that have caused flooding in Iowa,South Dakota and Minnesota, said Doug Kluck,central region climate services director for theNational Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration.
The outlook for the next eight to 14 daysincludes a patch of
below-normal temperatures centered over Iowaand normal precipitation over Nebraska.
In the forecast for July through September, thebelow-normal temperatures shift to the north andwest, enveloping northwest Nebraska, as does theprobability of above-normal precipitation.
All of that comes on the heels of a June thateased drought in some areas but brought floodingto others.
The above-normal precipitation in June acrossmuch of the basin contributed to heavy runoff intothe Missouri River’s six large reservoirs — a totalof 8.3 million acre-feet, or 153 percent of normal.An acre-foot is the amount of water it would taketo cover an acre of land with a foot of water.
The total runoff for the year is expected to total33 million acre-feet, or 131 percent of normal.
While that number is higher than usual, it’snowhere near the 61 million acre-feet of runoffthat poured into the reservoirs upstream fromSioux City, Iowa, during record flooding in 2011.And following two years of drought in parts of thebasin, there’s still plenty of room to store it.
“The reservoirs remain well-positioned tocapture additional runoff should furtherreductions in releases become necessary,” saidMike Swenson, team leader for the basin watermanagement office.
The corps cut back releases from Gavins PointDam near Yankton, S.D., during June to reduceflood risk downstream on the Missouri River.
However, runoff from rain-swollen tributariessuch as the Big Sioux River that raised theMissouri’s flows downstream from that pointduring June now have worked their way throughthe system, officials said.
Releases from Gavins Point have graduallybeen increased to support navigation downstream.While corps officials will continue to fine-tunethose releases, officials said, the agency expects tosupport a full eight-month navigation season,which ends Dec. 1.
Al Dutcher, Nebraska’s state climatologist, saidthat the region needs some drier weather tooptimize crop yields.
Nebraska already is getting some of those drierconditions. Roots have grown down rather thanstaying near the soil surface. Areas to the northand east may have concerns, however.
At the same time, the region doesn’t needextreme heat, given that crops are entering thepollination period. Extreme heat can hinder thatprocess.
If conditions are cooler, crops should be in goodshape as long as temperatures get within a degreeor two of normal. The exception would be in areaswhere farmers have had to replant.
“We’re sitting on fairly decent crop prospectsright now as long as Mother Nature continues tobless us,” he said.
Crops Should Enjoy Cooler, Wetter Weather

July 10, 2014 Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Government Page 27
The investigation into allegations the InternalRevenue Service (IRS) targeted conservative groupsfor political purposes recently took a surprising turn.The agency now claims it lost two years of e-mailsfrom former IRS official Lois Lerner because hercomputer hard drive malfunctioned and was recycled.The agency’s failure to immediately report thesealleged technical problems to congressionalinvestigators does not lend the IRS any credibilitywith the American people.
These suspicious claims have rightfully receivedmuch attention. The potential destruction ofevidence and obstruction of justice must beinvestigated because it adds to a serious crime theWays and Means Committee has already referred tothe Department of Justice for possible prosecution.The seriousness of these allegations, the evidenceuncovered so far, and now the appearance ofmisconduct require a special prosecutor to furtherthe investigation.
Abuse of the tax code for political purposes by theIRS, the most feared and powerful agency in the
federal government, is simply unacceptable. It goesagainst everything we expect from a government of,for, and by the people. The IRS has an importantmission, and it must do its job fairly and withoutbias. Even the suggestion of impartiality at the IRScould undermine the agency’s ability to operate.
Through the investigation by the Committee onWays and Means we now know the targeting wasdirected primarily at conservative groups. Of the 298applications for tax-exempt status held up by theIRS, 83 percent were conservative-leaning, and 10percent were liberal-leaning. We also know Ms.Lerner helped coordinate the targeting as head of theExempt Organizations Division. We don’t know who,if anyone, told Ms. Lerner to act but this practice wasnot the work of low-level employees in the Cincinnati,Ohio office as originally reported by the IRS.
When the IRS first admitted to improperlyscrutinizing political groups more than a year ago,there was bipartisan outrage and broad agreementthe situation must be fully investigated and neverallowed to happen again. President Obama even said
“I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in anyagency, but especially in the IRS, given the powerthat it has and the reach that it has into all of ourlives.”
Recently, some of my Democratic colleagues havebeen more interested in seeing this investigation goaway, and have criticized our efforts as politicaltheatre. If they truly believe this to be the case,these individuals should support our calls for anindependent prosecutor in this case. ManyDemocrats joined with Republicans in voting for aresolution calling on the Department of Justice toappoint a special prosecutor; however, theDepartment has so far refused to do so.
Regardless of the party in power, no one deserves tobe singled out by the IRS for their First Amendmentrights to free speech and expression. It is critical wefind out what happened so the responsible partiescan be held accountable, the credibility of the IRS canbe restored, and we can implement reforms to makesure this never happens again.

Our Hard-Fought Independenceby Senator Mike Johanns
It’s been 238 years since our forefathers set out toestablish a new nation based on the idea that thepeople should be able to govern themselves, free fromthe pressures of a powerful central government orindividual ruler in a far off land. They set out toestablish a new and innovative system of governmentwhere the citizens enjoyed equal representation andthe power of the central authority was limited. At theheart of this new nation were principles like religiousfreedom and individual liberty.
Building this new nation didn’t come easy. Bloodwas spilled and lives were lost while installing anddefending these values. Over time, our experimentalsystem of government was tried and tested both bythose on the outside who sought to attack our way oflife, and by those from within, who attempted toexpand their own authority.
Our founders knew this would be an ongoingstruggle. They created a separation of powers and asystem of checks and balances in our centralgovernment to keep it from becoming too powerful.Those safeguards are still alive and well today.
Just last week we saw this system in place whenthe Supreme Court stepped in to prevent theExecutive Branch from usurping power granted toCongress by the Constitution. When one branch ofgovernment oversteps its authority, it is up to theothers to reestablish balance. That’s exactly what theSupreme Court did when it unanimously ruled thatthe President ignored Congress’s role of advice andconsent, and illegally filled certain executive branchvacancies. This week, the Court upheld our rights toreligious liberty when it ruled that the governmentcouldn’t compel closely-held businesses to providecertain services that violated their deeply-heldreligious beliefs.
These are just a few of the most recent challengesour system of government and values have faced.Through it all, our independence has endured. Andwhile many Americans share different views,lifestyles and goals, the very fact that we canpeacefully coexist despite our differences is atestament to the strength of our freedom.
I encourage you to take a moment to consider themany blessings we have as a nation, like our freedomand individual liberty. Think about how theseblessings were won—through bold resolve andselfless sacrifice.
There are many places in the world today that donot share our principles. Families in other nationsstill face the tyranny of harsh dictators. Militaryoppression is not a thing of the past in some cornersof the globe. Rampant corruption and sectarian strifestill plague the progress of people reaching for theirindependence.
We truly are blessed to live in this great nation.Through our hard-fought independence and ongoingcommitment to preserve the rights and freedoms ofall our citizens, the United States remains a beaconof hope and liberty for nations still fighting to cast offthe shackles of oppression that our forefathersshattered 238 years ago.

Like so many Nebraskans, I have been deeplymoved by images of destruction from the recenttornadoes, which tore through communities innortheast Nebraska. The loss of life, serious injuries,and almost complete devastation in Pilger hasbroken hearts across Nebraska, mine included.
I am grateful for the efforts of Governor Heinemanand Nebraska Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) officials in the aftermath of the storms.Governor Heineman has issued a state disasterdeclaration for all areas impacted by the tornadoesand severe weather. Nebraska’s congressionaldelegation has always worked together to obtainneeded disaster relief, and we will step up once againto do whatever we can to help these communitiesrebuild. My staff and I remain in close contact withstate and local officials to see what sort of federalassistance might be necessary.
I appreciate NEMA’s ongoing work to survey thedamage in the area and respond with swiftemergency assistance. The American Red Cross hasalso served as a dedicated partner in providing aid tothe Pilger community, setting up a shelter within 10miles of the community and delivering relief andsupport to victims. I thank all the workers andvolunteers who remain on the ground to assist withthe area’s recovery.
Pilger will survive and it will rebuild. Nebraskansare strong – and our neighbors from Pilger are among
the strongest. I will be traveling to Pilger to assessthe damage for myself and to meet with members ofthe community and local leaders on Saturday, June21.
As a member of the Small Business Committee, Ihave spent a great deal of time exploring ways toencourage more Americans to start their ownbusinesses, which will create jobs and help turnaround our economy. Many aspiring entrepreneurshave a hard time obtaining modest loans to get abusiness off the ground. These challenges are due, inpart, to large loan requirements from the vastmajority of primary lenders.
A man or woman aspiring to open a small café orbook store doesn’t necessarily need a $500,000 loan;however, a $100,000 loan could make a big differencein turning a dream of a business into a paycheck-producing reality. Programs that offer access to thesefinancial services and provide capital, typically forlower income earners, are called microfinanceprograms.
Microloans have helped thousands of peoplearound the world climb out of poverty. The UnitedStates has invested heavily in microfinanceprograms through foreign aid, including inAfghanistan. Studies have shown that theavailability of microfinance services has increasedhousehold incomes and strengthened families andcommunities. These programs have proven
successful, not only around the world, but also hereat home.
The Small Business Administration currentlyoversees a microfinance program to provide similarsmall loans in the United States, but the amount ofthese loans is often not large enough to cover thingslike inventory or overhead costs – necessary expensesfor a new business.
The legislation I introduced, the Access to Capital,Access to Opportunity Act, would increase access toneeded capital so ambitious men and women withgood ideas and limited resources can start their ownbusinesses here in the United States. My bill wouldstrengthen the existing SBA program by increasingthe loan limit to $100,000. It would enact reportingrequirements among loan recipients, intermediaryloan providers, and the SBA to increaseaccountability.
The bill also promotes entrepreneurship byrequiring the SBA to increase its efforts to educatemen and women, especially those with limitedfinancial resources, about the availability of theseloans to start their own businesses.
New businesses strengthen our economy,strengthen our communities, and strengthen ourfamilies. I believe this proposal that can make a realdifference in the lives of our neighbors in Nebraskaand across the country.
