Dave Ford Water flows at more than

8,000 cubic feet per second thisweek out of the full Pathfinder

Reservoir in Wyoming, over the

spillway and into a North Platte River

canyon. Pathfinder, the oldest dam on the river, is second in line

to Seminoe to catch snowmelt from the Rocky

Mountain headwaters. Platte Basin water managersstill dont know how the huge

amount of mountain snowremaining above 10,000 feet will affect North Platte and

South Platte flows in the next several weeks.

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub

HOLDREGE - Lake McConaughymanagers reduced water releases by500 cubic feet per second on Fridayin an attempt to mitigate PlatteRiver flooding downstream , particu-larly at North Platte.

Central Nebraska Public Powerand Irrigation District NaturalResources Manager Mike Drain ofHoldrege said the volume of waterisn't a lot, but the entire reductionwill be to downstream flows, from5,750 cfs to 5,250 cfs.

Drain said it's the first time sinceApril that releases have been cut.However, there are no guaranteesthat bigger flows won't still be seenas snow continues to melt in theRocky Mountain headwaters for theNorth Platte and South Platterivers.

"That doesn't mean we're out of thewoods," he said about Central's cuts.

Lake McConaughy was at eleva-tion 3262.8 Friday morning, orslightly more than 4 feet below themaximum of 3267 allowed byCNPPID's license with the FederalEnergy Regulatory Commission.

North Platte River inflows of 8,419cfs are higher than releases, so thelake level will continue to rise. Itheld 1,676,400 acre-feet of water onFriday and was 96.2 percent of full.

"It does not make sense to fill all 4feet," Drain said, "because then wewould have zero percent left. If thereare higher flows, then we'd have topass it all."

He said some media reports thisweek that CNPPID had stoppedreleasing water from LakeMcConaughy were wrong. Releaseshad been held steady in recentweeks.

Whether they can remain steadyat Friday's lower rate will depend onmany factors. One is rainfall inNebraska's Panhandle.

Drain said the third week of Junecommonly is when Panhandle irriga-tors start taking water from canalsto water crops. There was rain inthat area Thursday and more is fore-cast for the next five days, whichcould delay diversions for irrigation.

There's even greater uncertaintyabout how much water still maycome from snow at high elevations inthe mountains.

"We're seeing some stuff that'sunusual compared to past patterns,"Drain said, explaining that a lot ofsnow remains above 10,000 feet inheadwater areas for the rivers andtheir tributaries. "All the low stuff

Al Dutcher ReportWeather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist

Significant mois-ture was reportedacross much ofNebraska during thepast two weeks assystems continued toeject out the westernU.S. and into theupper Midwest. Asignificant severeweather outbreakwas observed duringthe 6//19-6/20 timeframe that brought

numerous tornado warnings to the western 2/3of the state. Unfortunately this same systembrought heavy rainfall to the Dakota’s thatresulted in widespread flooding and increasedreleases from Missouri river basin dams.Persistent cool weather across northern andwestern Nebraska has resulted in 75-85% ofnormal GDD accumulations since mid-May,

while extreme southern Nebraska has seennear normal accumulations. If the currentmodels are correct, a substantially warmer anddrier pattern appears to be setting up as wemove into the month of July.

Week One Forecast, 6/25 - 7/1: Weathermodels indicate that it will slowly warm duringthe period with two opportunities for wide-spread moisture. The first widespread event isprojected for 6/25, while the second on 6/28 assystems ride the upper air ridge that isprojected to slowly expand east and north fromthe southern Plains. Models indicate a chancefor isolated thunderstorms during the lateafternoon or early evening hours for thewestern half of the state on 6/26 and 6/29. Foreastern Nebraska, weather models indicateisolated thunderstorms are possible on 6/30.High temperatures: 6/25 (mid 80's NE - low 90'sSW), 6/26 (upper 80's N - mid 90's S), 6/27 (mid80's N - low 90's S), 6/28 (low 80's N - upper 80's

S), 6/29(upper 80's NE - mid 90's SW), 6/30-7/1(low 90's N - upper 90's SW).

Week Two Forecast, 7/2 - 7/8: Currentweather models indicate that the western cornbelt will be under the influence of an upper airridge that will shunt weather systems to thenorth of Nebraska. Weak chances for isolatedthunderstorms are indicated for the western1/3 of the state for the 3rd, 4th, and 8th asmoisture spills eastward from the melting snowpack. Little of this moisture is projected tomake its way into eastern Nebraska. Hightemperatures are currently projected to be upto 10 F above normal during the period whichwill allow crops to partially catch up from therecent cold weather. If the models are correct,irrigation demands will increase dramatically.High temperatures: 7/2 (low 90's NE - mid 90'sSW), 7/3 (mid 80's NE - mid 90's SW), 7/4(upper 80's NE - upper 90's SW), 7/5-7/6 (low90's E - low 100's W), 7/7-7/8 (low 90's E - upper90's west).

If this summer's plans include a barbecue, beprepared so food remains safe while cooking onthe grill.

Always wash hands before and after handlingfood. Wash hands for 15 to 20 seconds usingwarm, soapy water. No need to watch the clock orwonder how long 15 seconds is, just sing "HappyBirthday" twice through. Also, useclean utensils, containers andsurfaces because if they aren'tclean, they can contaminate foodwith bacteria and viruses thatcould cause foodborne illnesses.Don't use utensils that havetouched raw meats on other fooditems.

Grilling is a healthy way toprepare food because foods arecooked without adding extra fat.Marinades tenderize meatsurfaces, but cutting a quarterinch deep cut with a knife inseveral places of the meat beforecoating it with the marinade will help the mari-nade soak into the meat. Marinating meat orvegetables requires three things:

-- an acid ingredient to tenderize the meat, suchas lemon juice, wine, vinegar, yogurt, balsamicvinegar or soy sauce

-- herbs and spices for flavor and zest, such asgarlic, red pepper flakes, green onions, rosemary,thyme, onion or ginger

-- time: 30 minutes for flavor and up to fourhours for marinating

Once the marinade is added, place items in therefrigerator. Don't thaw or marinate foods atroom temperature. Use a non-reactive, sealedcontainer or a sealable plastic bag. Also, try toavoid using metal containers, especiallyaluminum or cast iron. Make sure any marinadeused on raw meat or poultry is not used on cookedfood unless it is boiled. Discard leftover marinadethat is contaminated with raw meat or poultryjuices.

If cooking vegetables on the grill, large vegeta-bles – like corn on the cob, eggplant or asparagus– can be placed directly on the grill. Choppedvegetables should be wrapped in aluminum foil.Add flavor by adding herbs and spices to thevegetables before wrapping them in the foil andplacing them on the grill.

Make sure the grill is hot before placing food onit. Preheat coals on a charcoal grill at least 20 to

30 minutes before adding food.For other grills, allow 15 to 30minutes for it to preheat beforecooking foods.

Thoroughly cook food at onetime because if food is partiallycooked, bacteria can growwithout being killed by enoughheat. Use a food thermometerbecause the meat's color or juiceis not a reliable indicator on howwell it's cooked. Make sure to usea clean food thermometer tocheck for correct internal temper-atures:

-- Hamburgers should be 160degrees Fahrenheit

-- Beef, veal, lamb steaks and roasts should be145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium rare; 160degrees Fahrenheit for medium

-- Poultry should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit -- Fish should be opaque and flake easily, 145

degrees Fahrenheit Always remember to keep hot foods hot and

cold foods cold. Foods shouldn't sit out for morethan one hour, especially when it is hot outside.Make plans so that food is eaten almost immedi-ately after it is cooked. If there are leftovers,refrigerate them right away or put into coolerswith a lot of ice. If leftovers have been sitting outin hot weather for more than one hour, throwthem away. The longer food is at unsafe tempera-tures, the more likely harmful bacteria can growand cause foodborne illness. Cold foods kept incoolers with ice are safe, but if ice has melted,that food should be thrown out.

Remember Food Safety for Summer Grilling

Susan Hansen, Extension Educator Colfax County

Drinking hot tea has been around for centuriesand has played a part in history. Remember theBoston Tea Party in our country’s quest for inde-pendence?

Next to water, tea is the most popular beveragein the world. Tea plays a role in hygiene andhealth. In many parts of the world, the water isnot safe to drink because of high bacteria count.Thus, hot tea is popular because it is boiled first,killing the disease carrying bacteria. The practiceof boiling water before drinking orusing as an ingredient is animportant one if you are in a situ-ation where you are not sure ofthe safety of the water. This couldbe on a camping trip or a highbacteria count in your watersupply.

Tea is also gaining popularitybecause of the presence of anti-oxidants. Research is showingthat anti-oxidants have healthbenefits. Tea is a source of aminoacids as well as vitamins andminerals. Tea contains a moderateamount of caffeine (less thancoffee, though). Herbal teas are not really teas;they are tisane’s and have no caffeine.

There are four types of true tea made from theleaves of the Carmelia sinensis plant. Thesetypes are green, black, oolong and white. Thedifference between the four types is theprocessing and the amount of oxidation thattakes place.

For green tea, the freshly picked leaves aresteamed to destroy natural enzymes and to softenthe leaves. This process keeps the green color andthe anti-oxidants.

For black tea, the leaves come from the fieldand then placed on drying trays with circulatingwarm air. The leaves are then bruised and rolled,giving the air and aromatic juices a chance to

mix. Oxidation takes place, causing the darkercolor.

Oolong tea is treated much the same way asblack tea except for a much shorter time.

White tea is the least processed. The leaves andbuds are carefully dried to prevent unwantedbruising or oxidation. For this tea, the lesshandling, the better.

As stated before, herbal tea is not true tea butis a tisane or herbal infusion. A combination ofplants, leaves, flowers, roots and barks are usedto make the herbal teas.

What makes a good cup of tea? Start with thewater. Use good-tasting, coldwater. Minerals give the waterflavor so avoid using water thathas been through a watersoftener.

Make sure your kettle andteapot are clean. Over time, therecan be a buildup of tannins andmineral deposits which can affectthe flavor.

Use the correct water tempera-ture for steeping. Black teasrequire a full, rolling boil(212EF). Oolong teas should bebetween 180E and 190EF. Greenand white teas should be steeped

in water between 160E and 175EF. For oolong,white and green teas, bring the water to a boiland then cool to the correct steeping tempera-ture. Use a thermometer to check water temper-ature.

Use the correct amount of tea of the best teayou can buy. There are some cheap, terribletasting teas on the market. There are also inex-pensive teas that taste good. Find what you like.

Steep tea for the proper length of time. Blacktea should steep 3 to 5 minutes, depending on thesize of the leaves. Other teas should steep 1 to 3minutes. Do not steep too long since this causesthe bitter qualities of tannins to come out. Tea isbest served fresh.

• I T ’ S T H E P I T T S b y L e e P i t t s •I r r e c o n c i l a b l e D i f f e r e n e s

by Lee Pitts

I have noticed over the years that thereare distinct differences between the folkswho attend farm sales versus those who goto cattle auctions. For example, at the farmsale farmers kick tires, whereas at a bullsale ranchers get kicked back if they get tooclose to their work. At the auction, farmersget grease and rust on their hands whilerancher’s hands stay relatively clean. It’shis boots that are disgusting.

Farmers subscribe to newspapers andmagazines to get turned on by old tractors,while ranchers lust after good bulls theysee in advertisements. It’s odd, cattlemenlove to buy horses at auction but it’s thefarmers who care more about horse-powerwhen bidding. The farmer’s home and barnis apt to be wallpapered in old flyers, salebills and big girlie calendars advertisingwrenches, but if the dining room table iscovered in bull sale catalogues there prob-ably isn’t a combine, compressor or a pair ofbib overalls on the place.

Once they are at the auction the farmer isapt to interrupt the auctioneer by asking,“How many hours on the tractor,” whereasa rancher might ask, “Does she have anyteeth left in her head.” A farmer wants toknow, “Can you start it up?” A cattleman iscurious, “Who’s she bred to?” Both want toknow if the lot they are buying has any gasleft in its tank, so to speak.

A cattleman takes his Gooseneck to thesale while a farmer takes his flatbed. They

are both looking to buy something at theauction they can buy cheap and nurse backto health. At the end of the farm salethere’s lots of heavy lifting to do even if themanagement makes a loader available.Cattle at a sale barn will pretty much loadthemselves.

The only reason a rancher subscribes toDish or Direct TV is to watch the monthlycattle video sales, while the farmer watchesshows about old tractors on RFD. Theproudest moment for a rancher is gettinghis name listed in the representative salescolumn of the local sale barn, or having hispicture taken with the high selling lot at abull sale. The proudest moment that anauction-loving farmer could possibly havewould be if the producer from that show onTV about hoarding called and said theywanted to do a one hour special on his“collection” of rusty relics. Or, if Frank andMike from American Pickers made a coldcall after seeing the farmer’s junk pile fromthe road.

A farm auction goer has probably boughtseveral pallets of assorted rust just to getone old tractor seat from an InternationalHarvester, while a rancher more than oncehas bought a bull just because he felt guiltyeating the free barbecue. At least onefarmer every sale will try to leave a fewpallets of junk behind after cherry pickingwhat he wanted, while a rancher will often

ask the auctioneer if he can “take one out”of the cattle in the sale ring.

Bull sale attendees eat better than thoseat farm estate sales. The farmer pays to eatout of a truck while the rancher dines onthe best beef for free. There’s a good reasonfor this: the rancher is trying to get thecattleman’s repeat business by serving agood meal while the farmer doesn’t carebecause he’s either dead, or on his way toArizona to retire and play golf.

I’ve often seen a rancher bring a pillow ora donut to sit on during a long sale, but thefarmer is more concerned about a comfort-able pair of boots to walk up and down therows of farm implements. When he buyssomething, the farmer holds up a card withhis buyer number on it, while a bull sale isfar more personal and the auctioneer mightcall out the ranch or the buyer’s name, evenif it is fictitious.

Ranchers often mix business withpleasure by bringing their wives along,while farmers mix business and pleasureby leaving theirs at home. For the ranchwife the bull sale might be her only “vaca-tion” of the entire year. Ditto the farm wifewhen her husband leaves the house.

On the tombstone of the farm sale devoteeare the words, “Going, going, gone.” Theepitaph of the auction-going rancher reads,“Out the gate and down the alley.”

Opening markets around the world is critical toNebraska’s continued economic development.Trade creates opportunity for Nebraska farmers,ranchers, manufacturers, and small businessesto expand, generate jobs, invest in new tech-nology, and continue growing our economy. Forexample, Nebraska exported more than $5.7billion in merchandise to international marketsin 2010, directly supported almost 20,000 jobs.

To ensure this trend continues, I will onceagain host a seminar for Nebraska’s exporters aswell as those who wish to learn about exporting.On Wednesday, June 29, I am sponsoring Export2011, a free event to share information about thebenefits of international trade for farmers,ranchers, manufacturers, and small businesses.It will take place at the Heartland Event Centerin Grand Island from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.(C.D.T.). This event will provide critical detailsabout how Nebraska’s businesses, both large andsmall, can take advantage of the opportunitiescreated by access to new and emerging interna-tional markets.

Export 2011 will host speakers from selectfederal agencies as well as successful exportersfrom the Third District. The seminar will featurebreakout sessions highlighting a variety of topicsto best address specific questions or needs, suchas how to compete in the global marketplace,economic analysis of trade agreements, barriersto trade, or doing business in China. For addi-tional information about Export 2011 or toR.S.V.P., please call my Grand Island office at(308) 384-3900 or email export2011@mail.house.gov.

As a member of the Committee on Ways andMeans and its Subcommittee on Trade, wecontinue working toward passage of three long-delayed trade agreements – Colombia, Panama,and South Korea. It appears approval of theseagreements is within striking distance, but wemust continue pressing forward.

The critical next step in the approval process ofthese agreements is an informal markup of theproposals which should be scheduled soon. A“non-markup,” as it is called, is a legislative

procedure which allows Ways and MeansCommittee members to consider a draft bill forthe trade deals and vote on possible amendments.Hopefully, the Administration will send theagreements to Congress, where they enjoy bipar-tisan support, for final approval shortly after the“non-markup” is completed.

Each day we postpone enacting the pendingtrade agreements we delay the creation of at least250,000 American jobs. Congress and theAdministration should be taking all availablesteps during these tough economic times toincrease exports and the jobs trade supports.While the national economic impact of theseagreements is tremendously valuable, trade isdistinctly important to Nebraska. The nextdecade offers great opportunity for the farmers,ranchers, and manufacturers in our statebecause expanding access to thriving interna-tional markets would produce a direct benefit. Iinvite you to be a part of that success and join meat Export 2011!

Time to Hold EPA Accountableby Senator Mike Johanns

Over the past two and a half years, theEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) hasgrown increasingly intrusive when it comes toregulating agriculture and businesses. This hasbeen reflected in my conversations with many ofyou. Whether it's a proposed rule to regulate farmdust or farm ponds, or energy plants threatenedwith shutting their doors due to increased regula-tions, it's clear EPA is out of touch with a countryand economy still working hard to emerge from arecession. The agency's aggressive rulemakingregime highlights the need to take stronger stepsto rein it in, which is exactly what I've done.

Making EPA's regulations all the more frus-trating is its recent barnstorming charm offensivethroughout the Midwest. EPA officials have beentouring rural America, maybe even stopping in atown near you, in an effort to convince farmers andranchers that the agency's aggressive regulationswon't negatively impact producers. They aretelling you the Obama Administration is not"doing anything new" when it comes to new rules,especially agricultural regulations. It's bafflingand disingenuous that they'd tell this to farmers

and ranchers while simultaneously tellingCongress they won't blink an eye if their regula-tions put farmers or other job creators out of busi-ness.

The double talk at EPA goes all the way to thetop. Administrator Lisa Jackson recently statedthat EPA plans to meet farmers and ranchers andtake their thoughts into account before enactingnew proposals. Yet in a letter to 33 concerned U.S.Senators, Assistant Administrator Gina McCarthywrote that when EPA drafts proposals regardingair quality standards, it is "not focused on anyspecific category of sources or any activity,including activities relating to agriculture or ruralroads." She left no room for confusion by adding,"the agency is prohibited from considering costs."In other words, the costs to American agricultureand businesses have no bearing on EPA's pursuitof its regulatory regime, and despite their bestpublic relations campaign, agriculture will not beexempted.

These words are already bearing bitter-tastingfruit. Earlier this month, American Electric Powerannounced it would likely close three coal plants

in West Virginia if EPA air quality regulations arefinalized, at a cost of thousands of jobs. Everyonewants clean air, and EPA certainly should befocused on policies that improve the environment.But to be so blind to our country's agricultural andeconomic realities is leading us down a dangerouspath.

Congress must now ramp up its oversight ofEPA. Just as elected officials are held accountablefor their decision-making, EPA officials must beheld to the standard of their statements made toour country's farmers, ranchers and businessowners. Their overreaching regulations will haverippling effects across the Heartland, andAmericans have a right to know the price.Legislation I introduced with Senator Jim Inhofe(R-Okla.) would require a cost analysis of proposedEPA rules before they go into effect. With EPArevving up its charm offensive while pushing formore onerous regulations, it's imperative thateveryone involved is aware of exactly how ourcountry and our economy will be impacted. It'stime to hold EPA accountable.

Now that Osama bin Laden has been brought tojustice it is time to take a fresh look at the U.S.mission in Afghanistan. That’s why I have intro-duced a bill to establish benchmarks to measureprogress toward the 2014 goal of the Afghangovernment leading and conducting all militaryoperations in Afghanistan.

This is the same approach I took several yearsago during the war in Iraq. I was troubled becausethere was no objective measure of our progressthere. Some groups said that we were winning,while others said that we were losing. In response,I helped draft bipartisan legislation that Congressapproved and then-President Bush signed intolaw.

Benchmarks Worked in IraqWe established 18 benchmarks, or measure-

ments, of economic, military and diplomatic effortsin Iraq. The benchmarks helped Congress and theAmerican people gain a better understanding ofour successes and challenges in Iraq. They helpedplay down a partisan debate over whether we werewinning or losing.

We need to do the same in Afghanistan, espe-cially now that Bin Laden is out of the picture.

While the impact of his death on Al Qaeda remainsto be seen, Defense Secretary Robert Gates calledhis elimination a “game changer” in a speech onMay 6, 2011.

Benchmarks Can Work in AfghanistanAs Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan

moves to a point where American troops arereplaced by Afghan security forces, we need tounderstand what is working, what isn’t working,and what work remains to be done to make thistransition successful. Americans deserve to knowthe status of the transition and how close we are tobringing our men and women home fromAfghanistan.

My bill does that. It requires the Administrationto set clear measures, or benchmarks, of the tran-sition of security responsibilities to theGovernment of Afghanistan. Reports on the statusof these benchmarks would be included in thesemi-annual reports to Congress on Afghanistanwhich are already produced.

By establishing clear benchmarks for a strategictransition, we will have a better understanding ofwhether or not we can reduce troop levels inAfghanistan at a level faster than we had origi-

nally planned, or if other adjustments must bemade.

Independence Holiday Visit to Afghanistan and Pakistan

To better understand the challenges we face, I’mplanning to visit Afghanistan and Pakistan duringthe Independence Day break where I will meetwith government leaders and officials and have achance to talk with our troops, includingNebraskans who are deployed in Afghanistan.

The visit to Pakistan and Afghanistan followsmeetings with Husain Haqqani, Pakistan’sAmbassador to the United States and DefenseSecretary-Nominee Leon Panetta. Panettacommented that key areas to be evaluated are thelevels of violence, the stability of each district, thedevelopment and performance of the Afghan armyand police operations, and the performance andresponsibilities of the Afghan government.

This is a time of major transition in Afghanistan,Pakistan, Iraq, Libya and throughout the Mideastand North Africa. Each country’s circumstancesare generally different from one another, but anoverarching reality is they involve national secu-rity interests of the United States.

Corn trade has been lower this week due to chartselling and long liquidation. The weekly net changeis 23 cents lower on the July contract and Decemberis down 10. Near-term, the weather picture looks non-threatening, which has contributed to the weaknessthis week. The expected heat next week should helpdry out wet areas and provide more growing degreedays. Sustained heat for a week or longer would shiftthe weather perception to bullish. Additional losesdue to flooding are likely coming but it's hard to gagewhat this means to a final production number, espe-cially without confirmation as to exactly how manymore acres have been compromised. Additional sellinginterest developed at midweek due to the inability bythe market to confirm early rumors this week thatChina had resurfaced as a buyer of US corn. On thechart, the trade posted an outside down day with alower close on Wednesday which should promote addi-tional selling interest. Nearby support on the Julycontract is down at $6.59 which is the May low. Theweekly export sales came in at 410,800 tons of oldcrop and 120,300 tons of new crop. Combined, theywere toward the low side of expectations. On theweekly report, crop emergence was listed at 97% ver-sus the 99% 5-year average. Crop ratings improved by1% to 70% good to excellent. This is 5% worse thanlast year, but a good number historically. The poor tovery poor ratings were also up 1% to 7%. Hedgers callwith questions.

Wheat trade is under pressure this week due to chartselling, outside market pressure and spillover pressurefrom corn. The weekly net changes are 34 lower inChicago and KC; Minneapolis is down 37. China's AgMinistry announced early this week that 90% of the win-ter wheat crop there was harvested; they did not releasespecific numbers but stated that production hasincreased versus last year. As a result, Chinese customsdata estimated wheat imports during May at only 10,308tons, which was down 95% versus last year. Stats Canadareported on Wednesday that all wheat acreage there hadincreased to 23.6 million which was up from expectationsof 22.4 million and 22.1 million last year. Stats Canadaalso increased barley, durum, and oat acreage by 200thousand, 900 thousand, and 1.2 million acres respective-ly. Timely rains in parts of Eastern Europe have also con-tributed to the weakness this week. Although we havesome production issues in the US and the soft red winterwheat has found its way into the feed ration, the tradedoes not perceive a fundamental bullish wheat scenario.On the July Chicago contract, the momentum is clearlydown, but wheat is now aggressively oversold. Nearbyresistance is back up at $6.89 which is the 10-day movingaverage. Buying interest should be limited on bounceswithout fresh supportive fundamental news. The weeklyexport sales were slightly above expectations at 661,300tons. On the weekly report, the winter wheat harvestprogress was listed at 31% versus the 22% 5-year aver-age. Winter wheat conditions improved to 36% good toexcellent versus 35% last week. Spring wheat plantingswere up 3% from last week at 91%. Spring wheat condi-tions were listed at 72% good to excellent which is upfrom 68% last week. Anything not planted at this junc-ture will remain unplanted; this should mean that thetrade should see around a 10% reduction in spring wheatproduction. Hedgers call with questions.

Soybean trade has been lower this week due tospillover pressure from corn and the outside markets.The weekly net change is 3 lower on the July contractand 1 lower on November. Chinese customs datashowed earlier this week that soybean imports for themonth of May were 4.56 million tons which was up4.5% versus April. Year-to-date sales, however, weredown 1% from last year to 19.4 million tons. Despitethe lower yearly total, the month on month increasehas limited downside this week. On the weeklyreport, planting progress was listed at 94% which is1% ahead of last year and the 5-year average.Emergence was at 82% which is 4% slower than the 5-year average. The good to excellent ratings improved1% to 68% good to excellent. The weekly export saleswere disappointing with net cancelations of 32,100tons reported for old crop; new crop sales were lowalso with 120,300 tons reported. Meal sales came in at9,500 tons of old crop and 27,500 tons of new cropwhile oil sales were reported at 6,000 tons. Mealsales were below expectations while oil sales weretowards the low end of the projected range. StatsCanada reported on Thursday that Canola acreagethere had increased to 19.8 million versus their previ-ous estimate of 16.8 million. On the chart the Julybeans moved down to and found support at the $13.20100-day moving average at midweek; this area willcontinue to serve as important support this week. Aclose below it would project a test the May low at$13.06.Hedgers call with questions.

A pest is defined as an organism living in thewrong place. Most insects and small arthropodsare insignificant and rarely noticed in our land-scapes. Some insects are beneficial, feeding onpest insects whose populations might be very highwithout their presence. Still others are pollinatorsor are important in the food chain, providing foodfor birds we enjoy.

Many indoor insect pests are actually outdoorinsects and do not survive very well inside struc-tures. There are often simple non-toxic actionspeople can take to prevent having these pestsindoors.

Insects Feeding on Plants or TreesMany insects feed on plant materials in the

landscape. A few which periodically invade homesinclude:

• Clover mites: These tiny reddish mites feedon outdoor plants and come indoors in the spring.They particularly like well fertilized fescue.Vacuuming is helpful.

• Boxelder bugs: They feed on box elder ormaple trees during the summer and becomeadults in the fall. Overwintering adults squeezeinto cracks of houses. Once inside walls, theycannot be controlled.

• Conifer seed bugs: These insects are in thesame family as boxelder bugs, but are brownishcolored. They feed on pine trees during thegrowing season and squeeze into cracks of homesin late-summer.

• Hackberry psyllids: These insects liveinside the galls of hackberry leaves. Grayish bugsemerge from leaf galls in the fall and are so small,they squeeze through window screen. Keepingwindows closed will be helpful.

Predatory InsectsPredatory insects are beneficial because they

control other insect populations.A few predatory insects which can cause prob-

lems for people include:• Social wasps: Yellow jackets and paper

wasps feed their young on caterpillarsand other insects. They can be a problem when

they nest near human activities. Treat individualnests in high traffic areas.

• Asian lady beetles: These lady beetles areimportant predators of garden, landscape andagricultural plants and come inside in the fall.Seal cracks and crevices to prevent entry.

• Spiders: Most spiders do not survive wellindoors and only come inside because they arelooking for a hiding place. The spiders we have inNebraska are not aggressive and do not attackpeople.

• Carpenter ants: Carpenter ants feed onother insects and do not eat wood. They tunnelinto wood and live inside it. In the natural land-scape, carpenter ants nest in fallen trees.Moisture problems, like a leaky roof, plumbing,wet insulation, or ill-fitting windows can createmoist conditions within the structure of the house.Solving the moisture problem is the first step tosolving carpenter ant problems.

Decomposers and DetritivoresMany insects and small arthropods are impor-

tant in decomposing and recycling nutrients in thelandscape. These organisms are found abundantlyin bark chips and organic mulch, leaf litter andother moist locations in the landscape. Some ofthe most important are:

• Termites: In the natural landscape, termitesplay an important part in decomposing dead wood.

They are a problem when they damage structuralwood of homes. Eliminating wood-soil contact isthe most important preventative measure you cantake to prevent termites.

• Millipedes, pillbugs and sowbugs, spring-tails, booklice, silverfish, oriental and woodcockroaches, and crickets: These arthropodsand insects feed on organic matter or fungi in thesoil, leaf litter, wood mulch, and other moist loca-tions.

• Most ant species: Some ant species feed onhoneydew produced by aphids; others collect seedsor organic matter in the landscape and are impor-tant recyclers.

Management of HomeInvading Pests

How to manage these pests depends on thespecific pest, so identification is extremely impor-tant. At the extension office, we offer the publicfree pest identification.

General Preventative Measures• Because many of these pests live outdoors and

invade homes when seeking harborage, sealingcracks and crevices is an important long-termstrategy which will help control many pests. If youhave had problems in the past with some of theseinvading pests, now is the time to find and sealopenings where they are coming indoors.

• Identifyng and eliminating moisture problemsin and around the home prevent or even solvesome infestations, like carpenter ants.

• Clean up the landscape and maintain the exte-rior of your home. Overgrown vegetation, peelingpaint, broken gutters, and downspouts will attractpests. Make sure soil grade slopes away from thehouse.

Once Pests are Indoors,Non-Toxic Measures Include

• Reduce moisture with a dehumidifier to helpcontrol millipedes, springtails, pillbugs, and othermoisture-loving pests.

• Use glueboards (i.e., sticky traps) to catchcrawling pests, like spiders, crickets, millipedes,and others. Flat glueboards are most effective.

• A vacuum cleaner is an extremely helpfulcontrol tactic for invading insects.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack todayannounced developments in two popular USDAprograms that will support conservation ofworking lands for the benefit of wildlife, waterquality, and recreation. The Secretaryannounced that USDA will accept 2.8 millionacres offered by landowners under the 41stConservation Reserve Program (CRP) generalsign-up. The selections preserve and enhanceenvironmentally sensitive lands whileproviding payments to property owners.Additionally, USDA has approved eight addi-tional states and one tribal government toparticipate in the Voluntary Public Access andHabitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP), whichencourages private landowners to providepublic access to their lands for wildlife-depen-dant recreational opportunities, includingfishing and hunting.

"USDA is committed to enhancing the greatconservation legacy of our nation’s hunters andanglers to benefit current and future genera-tions," said Vilsack. "VPA-HIP and the CRP notonly help achieve conservation goals, but alsoincrease opportunities for hunting, fishing andother wildlife-dependant recreational activitiesby providing additional access to privately heldlands. CRP assists private landowners andproducers as they voluntarily protect theirmost environmentally sensitive lands.”

For this 41st general CRP sign-up, more than38,000 offers were received on about 3.8 millionacres nationwide. Enrollment of the 2.8 millionacres will bring the total enrollment in theprogram to 29.9 million acres, leaving suffi-cient room under the 32-million-acre cap tocontinue enrollment in the ConservationReserve Enhancement Program, continuoussign-up and other CRP initiatives. TheSecretary has asked FSA to continue toconsider ways to use continuous enrollments toensure CRP contains those lands that are mosterodible, most valuable to wildlife or that

otherwise ensure the program targets the mostvulnerable acres.

Under CRP, farmers and ranchers plantgrasses and trees in crop fields and alongstreams or rivers. The plantings reduce soiland prevent nutrients washing into waterways,reduce soil erosion that may otherwisecontribute to poor air and water quality, andprovide valuable habitat for wildlife. The CRPhas restored more than two million acres ofwetlands and associated buffers and reducedsoil erosion by more than 400 million tons peryear.

USDA selected offers for enrollment based onan Environmental Benefits Index (EBI)comprised of five environmental factors pluscost. The five environmental factors were: (1)wildlife enhancement, (2) water quality, (3) soilerosion, (4) enduring benefits and (5) airquality. The minimal acceptable EBI level forthis sign-up was 221.

The average rental rate per acre for this sign-up is about $48. USDA implemented a numberof measures including using additional EBIpoint incentives for producers to submit cost-effective offers and producer outreach activitiesto encourage competitive offers on the mostenvironmentally sensitive lands. These meas-ures will maintain the high environmental

benefits while decreasing the historic cost ofthe program.

With today’s VPA-HIP announcement,California, Georgia, Hawaii, Montana, NewHampshire, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming joinArizona, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa,Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota,Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon,Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah,Washington and Wisconsin as states partici-pating in the program. Also participating arethe Confederated Tribes and Bands of theYakama Nation. The total amount of VPA-HIPfunds to be obligated in 2011 is $17.8 millionwith $4.6 million of that total being allocatedas part of today’s announcement.

The VPA-HIP program expands existingefforts or develops new initiatives to encourageowners and operators of privately held farm,ranch and forest land to voluntarily providepublic access for the enjoyment of wildlife-dependent recreation, including hunting orfishing, in exchange for financial incentives orother assistance under programs implementedby state or tribal governments. VPA-HIP is acompetitive grants program that is only avail-able to state and tribal governments. Fundingmay be used to expand existing public accessprograms, create new public access programs orprovide incentives to improve wildlife habitaton enrolled lands.

Up to $50 million is authorized by the 2008Farm Bill through VPA-HIP through fiscal year2012.State and tribal grant recipients use thefederal funding to provide additionallandowner incentives or assistance in order toincrease the number of acres available forpublic access.

Campers from across the state of Nebraskaparticipated in the second annual AdventureCamp about the Environment (ACE). ACE washeld at the State 4-H Youth Camp near HalseyJune 5th-8rth. The camp was sponsored andorganized by Nebraska Natural ResourcesDistricts (NRDs) and the Nebraska Associationof Resources Districts (NARD). The four-dayadventure drew 30 campers from across thestate; many of the campers had scholarshipsfrom their local NRD. The camp focused onincreasing knowledge about water resources,soil and land, forestry, rangeland and wildlife.

During the ACE, campers had the opportu-nity to roll up their sleeves and dig into natureand form a new understanding of the environ-ment through interactive participation. In

addition, campers had the chance to experiencenature through activities such as canoeing, zipline, water rockets, the water slide and otheradventures. Campers also learned aboutpossible careers in the area of naturalresources from the professionals who workthere every day.

“This is a great opportunity for our youth tolearn and get excited about natural resourcesthrough hands on learning activities taught byexperts who are passionate about naturalresources” said Larry Schultz, Lower LoupNRD Information and Education coordinatorand ACE committee member. “Campers reallytook an interest in what NRDs do to protectNebraska’s natural resources and how they can

get involved at home and in their communitiesto protect our resources.” said Schultz.

Nebraska NRDs and NARD partnered withseveral organizations to help make the camp asuccess. Partnering organizations included:University of Nebraska Extension Services,Nebraska Natural Resources ConservationService, University of Nebraska – School ofNatural Resources, Nebraska National Forest,Nebraska State 4-H Camp, Chadron StateCollege, and Nebraska Pheasants Forever. Formore information about ACE and other naturalresources learning opportunities contact yourlocal NRD or visit www.nrdnet.org.

The Nebraska Association of ResourcesDistricts (NARD), the trade association forNebraska's 23 natural resources districts,works with individual NRDs to protect lives,protect property, and protect the future ofNebraska’s natural resources. These districtsare unique to Nebraska. NRDs are localgovernment entities with broad responsibilitiesto protect our natural resources. MajorNebraska river basins form the boundaries ofthe 23 NRDs, enabling districts to respond bestto local conservation and resource managementneeds.

Tom Dorn, UNL Extension Educator

We occasionally are asked by rural residents,“How much does it cost to pump water with ourdomestic well?” I will show the calculationsnecessary to compute the electricity consump-tion. Note: This discussion is for electricity costonly and does not include an estimate of depre-ciation and repairs resulting from use of thepumping equipment.

The horsepower/electricity required to pumpwater, depends on four factors:

1. The distance the water must be lifted fromthe pumping water level in the well to the soilsurface (lift component).

2. The pressure in the distribution system(pressure component).

3. The volume of water pumped per minute,gallons per minute (GPM).

4. The efficiency of the pump and motor.Note: The lift component and the pressure

component combine to make up the total headthe pump is working against. Head is expressedin feet. Each PSI of system pressure the pumpmust produce is equivalent to lifting water anextra 2.31 feet.

Total head (ft) = lift (ft) + PSI x 2.31 ft/PSILet’s look at the example of a domestic well

pumping 10 gallons per minute while liftingwater from 125 feet pumping depth, and

producing 45 PSI pressure in the distributionsystem.

Water Horsepower (the useful work impartedto the water) is computed as follows:

Water Horsepower (WHP) = Gallons perMinute (GPM) x Total Head (ft)/3,960

WHP = 10 GPM x (125 ft + 45 x 2.31)/3,960WHP = 10 x (125 + 289 )/3,960WHP = 10 x 414/3,960WHP = 1.05

If we assume the pump is 75% efficient, themotor driving the pump must produce 1.05/0.75= 1.4 horsepower to drive the pump. Assumingthe single phase (220 volt) motor is 70% effi-cient, the pump motor consumes 1.07 kWh ofelectricity

for each horsepower-hour. Therefore, wewould expect this pump to use 1.07 kWh/hp x1.4hp = 1.5 kWh for each hour of operation.

A family of four will use about 250 gallons ofwater per day (91,250 gallons per year) fordomestic uses.

This pump would have to run 9,125 minutesor 152 hours a year to supply domestic uses.Total annual electrical use for domestic use is152 hours x 1.5 kWh/hour = 228 kWh. At $0.09per kWh the cost for pumping water for thehousehold would be $20.52.

If the family also irrigates a 10,000 squarefoot (0.23 acre) lawn an average of 0.75-inchper week from May 1 through September 30,add 102,750 gallons for the lawn, making thetotal water used on the acreage 194,000 gallonsper year. The electrical cost would be 323 hoursx 1.5 kWh/hour = 485 kWh x $0.09 per kWh =$43.65.

One of the questions I get on occasionconcerns what a landowner should charge forpumping drinking water for cattle on pasture.

In the summer months, cows nursing a calfrequire about 22 gallons of water per day. Eachcow will drink about 22 x 31 = 680 gallons ofwater per month.

The pump described above would need to run68 minutes = 1.13 hours per month to pump thewater needs of each nursing cow. The electricityusage would be 1.74 kWh x 1.13 hours = 2 kWhper nursing cow per month. At $0.09 per kWhthe electricity cost would be about $0.18 permonth.

"The first year in use (last fall), it was set to dry corn down to 15%," Wright recalls. "When we were taking the corn out of the bin, the majority of our loads ran from 14.9% to 15.1%. It’s unbelievable how accurate it is."

USDA's executive director of the NationalFood and Agriculture Council, John Bergespoke today with agricultural producers andbusinesses regarding his tour of the agricul-tural lands devastated by the Missouri Riverflood and the assistance that USDA has toprovide in this time of need.

"Our goal with this tour and the conversa-tions that we have had with producers andcommunity leaders is to get a firsthand lookand provide that information back toWashington necessary to better deliver ourdisaster programs expeditiously to effectivelyrespond to this disaster,” said Berge.

Berge, representing USDA Secretary ofAgriculture Tom Vilsack, John Whitaker,Executive Director for Iowa Farm ServiceAgency (FSA) and Dan Steinkruger, ExecutiveDirector for Nebraska Farm Service Agency(FSA) visited this week with impacted agricul-tural producers and businesses along theMissouri River including stops in Blair,Tekamah and Decatur in Nebraska and Onawa,Missouri Valley and Glenwood in Iowa. Thetour of the damage provided the informationnecessary for USDA agencies to implementprograms to assist producers as they assessrecovery efforts.

Berge continued, "It is an amazing thing tosee firsthand the damage and potential damagefrom these historic releases, but equallyamazing has been the witnessing of neighborshelping neighbors and community involvementin preparation for this flood."

USDA administers many programs to assistwith recovery in rural areas reeling fromnatural disasters. USDA and the entire federalfamily have been working with state and localofficials to provide relief to residents, farmers,ranchers and businesses.

USDA OfficialDiscusses AgriculturalLands Ravaged byMissouri River Flood Sharry Nielsen, UNL Extension Educator

Summer is a time when many children visitfamily and friends who live in the country. Youmay be hosting young guests at your acreage orfarm during the next few months. Dave Morgan,UNL safety engineer, says “The greatest numberof farm accidents occur during the summer. Julyhas the highest accident rate.” Over one-third ofchildren injured in farm accidents, don’t live onfarms. Take a few extra minutes to teach yourchildren about safety. ATV’s, tractors, and pondsare among the causes of injuries and fatalities.Here are some ways in which you can keep yourguests and family safe as you create positivesummer memories.

ATV — Make Every Ride SafeSince 2004, ATV’s have been the leading cause

of agricultural fatalities in Nebraska, averagingover five deaths each year. Children 15 andunder account for 25 percent of the fatalities. AConsumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)report released in February 2008 indicates in theU.S., ATV accidents killed 111 children under theage of 16 and injured over 39,000 seriouslyenough to be taken to the emergency room.Parents can help stop this trend by following andteaching the ATV riders in their families somebasic safety techniques.

ATV’s are not toys. They are not appropriatefor children under six years of age. For children

between 6 and 12 years only (50 cc) machines aresuitable. Not only do young children lack thephysical size and strength to operate a motorizedvehicle safely, their ability to think through situ-ations, their motor skills, and their perceptionare not fully developed. ATV’s are difficult to rideand require constant attention to avoid acci-dents.

Between the ages of 12 and 15, youth shouldlearn on and operate, only mid-size ATV’s. Again,look for manufacturers’ Minimum AgeRecommendation label. Adult-sized machinesshould be reserved for teens over 16 who havereached their full physical size.

Arrange for a training course. A hands-ontraining course offers youth the opportunity toreceive experience operating an ATV under thesupervision of a certified instructor. Practicingbasic maneuvers on safe terrain gives teensconfidence in handling the vehicle under yourguidance.

Helmets save lives — insist on them! Withyour children, select helmets that fit them andtheir style. It is estimated helmets could havesaved the lives of about 25 percent of those whodied from head injuries in ATV accidents. Therisk of head injury without helmet protection istwice as high as when an injured wore a helmet.Don’t let helmets be an option; make them part ofusing the ATV.

Absolutely No Passengers! Most ATV’s aredesigned for one operator. Their unique handlingcharacteristics require focus and maneuver-ability from the driver. A second person seriouslyimpairs the driver’s ability to shift weight, steer,and control the vehicle. And, distracted drivingapplies to ATV’s just as it applies to cars, pick-ups and other vehicles.

No paved roads. In Nebraska, the only time anATV can legally be on a paved road is to cross itdirectly. ATV’s are meant to be used on terrain.They react awkwardly and are difficult to control

(snow to melt) is gone. The high stuff is a lot moreuncertain.

"There remains a tremendous quantity of snow,but a lot of that is at higher elevations, and wedon't know how it will respond," he continued.

The uncertainty has created differences ofopinion about the runoff from the Laramie River,a major tributary of the North Platte River.Reservoir managers believe the snowmelt there isnearly done, but U.S. Army Corps of Engineersofficials believe there is a lot of water still to come,Drain said.

The worst possibility is a stretch of hot weatherthat could cause all that snow to melt and flowdown the North Platte River at once. Drain saidthat with more moderate temperatures and windyconditions, some moisture from snowmelt would

evaporate, and some of the snow might remainfrozen throughout the summer.

"We all know the snow is up there, but we don'tknow how much of it will get into the stream," hesaid.

The same uncertainty applies to the SouthPlatte River, which showed early spikes frommelting snow at the lower elevations and thenmuch lower flows.

Managers of full or nearly full Bureau ofReclamation reservoirs in Wyoming face the samedifficult choices as CNPPID officials.

Water was going over the spillway at PathfinderDam southwest of Casper, Wyo., at 8,400 cfs onFriday. Drain said bureau officials expect releasesto continue at around 8,300 cfs from late June toJuly 13 and then may drop.

For CNPPID, river flows at the Wyoming-Nebraska state line are a more important indi-cator of the water coming to Lake McConaughythan data from upstream reservoirs. Drain saidstate-line flows have been around 7,000 cfs thisweek.

The changing water conditions and projectionshave generated almost constant communicationbetween entities throughout the Platte Basin.There is a conference call every Friday morningthat includes officials from the Bureau ofReclamation, Corps of Engineers, FERC,Nebraska Department of Natural Resources,Nebraska and Wyoming Emergency Managementoffices, reservoir and water project managers,municipalities, and other interested parties.

For a kid from small town Nebraska, stop lightsand four lane streets can seem like New York City.

And for many of the kids who come from allcorners of the state to Hastings for the annualNebraska State High School Finals Rodeo, thetown seems like a metropolis.

About 150 kids, from Atkinson to Wolbach, willconverge on Hastings June 23-25 for the NebraskaState High School Finals Rodeo and its fiveperformances.

For them, it’s a chance to not only compete, butto have fun.

The high school finals committee makes surethere are plenty of things for the kids to do, plan-ning a day at the Aquacourt Waterpark, theYMCA, and a shooting competition at the FourRivers Gun Club. “It’s good to keep teenagersbusy,” said Sandy Himmelberg, manager of the

Adams County Fairgrounds. Activities are free forcontestants.

The kids love it. “It’s a big deal, going to state(rodeo),” said senior Shelby Frazier. TheBenkelman cowgirl competed in Hastings for thefirst time as a freshman, and “I remember thefirst year I went there. I was like, oh, my gosh,look at the traffic,” she laughs.

Chase Rieken, a sophomore from Fullerton, hadthe same assessment as Shelby on his first trip toHastings. “There are no stop lights in Fullerton,”he says. “Hastings is like big time.”

Students compete in five rodeo performances,beginning at 9:30 am and 6 pm on June 23 and 24,and then the top ten contestants in each eventcompete again at 1 pm on June 25 in the Finals.In between, they take care of their horses andthemselves. “The main thing is eat, sleep, rodeo,

go to the waterpark, and eat some more,” Frasiersays.

But no big town trip would be complete withouta stop at Wal-Mart. “The big thing is going to Wal-Mart. When you’re from the sticks, you have to goto Wal-Mart and hang out with all your friends,”Frasier says.

Small Town Rodeo Kids Enjoy Hastings and its Attractions

Multiple challenges can face gardeners andlandowners during the growing season. Rightnow is a good time to apply systemic grubcontrol in lawns to reduce grub infestations anddamage.

Grub control in lawns is a yearly challenge toaddress to maintain turfgrass health. Controlmeasures are used to reduce the population andthe damage that white grubs, masked chafers,Japanese beetles, and May/June beetle larvaecreate in turfgrass lawns.

As the larvae grow and develop in the soil,they move closer to the root zone of many typesof turfgrass, feeding as they develop. At theirfinal and most damaging stage, they willactively consume grass roots before they pupateinto beetles.

Grub damaged lawns will exhibit dead spots.Damaged grass will be discolored in these spots,and can be easily pulled without any accompa-nying roots. Root loss will cause the damagedgrass to quickly die.

According to “White Grub Management” fromthe University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension,now is a good time to apply systemic insecticidescontaining chlorantraniliprole, clothianidin,halofenozide, imidacloprid, or thiamethoxam onthe active ingredient label to the entire lawn.Apply ½ of water immediately after applicationto help the product absorb into the roots systemof the grass. Once larvae start feeding ontreated roots, they will receive a dose of thetoxin.

If these products did not produce the desiredlevel of control, or turfgrass damage was notdetected, a “rescue” treatment can be directlyapplied to infected areas. These products, whichcontain carbaryl or trichlorfon on the activeingredient label, can be applied. These productsdo not last as long in the lawn, but are fastacting when they come in contact with thedamaging larvae.

Dry conditions can also impact larvae contactwith these control products. In these cases,apply ½ inch of water 48 hours before applica-tion to help encourage the larvae to move closerto the surface for more effective control.

If you have any questions about grub controlin lawns, please contact your local University ofNebraska-Lincoln Extension Office.

Farm Service Agency Youth Loans have beenavailable since 1973. They are designed to enableyouth, ages 10-20, in their efforts to becomesuccessful business operators. They do not need tobe agriculture oriented.

The Rural Youth Loans are available as directloans only, and have a maximum loan amount of$5,000. The loans may be made to individuals whoare sponsored by a project advisor, such as a 4-Hclub, FFA or local vocational instructor. Youthmust also live in a rural community, or a town orcity with fewer than 50,000 people.

According to Laurie Morris, advisor at theScottsbluff FSA office, Interest rates are lowerthan on commercial loans, and applications areless complicated than those for the usual loaning

institutions. "It's a very simple process," Morrisexplained. "And there is no co-signer."

Morris said the loans are generally for food orfiber projects, and not limited to livestock. Theycan be used to purchase 4-H or FFA projects, suchas lambs or calves, or machinery, other equipmentor operating expenses. In addition to first timeloans that might be used to earn money forcollege, the loans can also benefit those who havehad bad luck, such as hail, and need help gettingback on their feet.

"Our main purpose is to help them get started inan operation," Morris said. For more informationon the program, call the Scottsbluff FSA office,308-632-2195, Ext. 2, or your local FSA office.

FSA Youth Loans Encourage Ag Careers

By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

Naomi Pelster is doing her part to carry on thefamily legacy of raising quality Angus cattle. As a15-year-old, she obtained a Farm Service AgencyYouth Loan to start her own Angus cow herd, andwith the aid of additional FSA loans continues toexpand her operation.

It is all part of the "family plan" to raise the bestregistered Angus possible on their ranch south-west of Harrison. And it definitely is a familyenterprise, which began 113 years ago with herancestors. Her parents, Rod and Laurie Gray,have passed it on to their children. Naomi, as wellas her four younger brothers have also been homeschooled and worked on the spread that bordersWyoming. All have obtained FSA Youth loans tohelp get started in the cattle business. Levi is alsoa pilot, and Colt is in the Marine Reserves. (Heattended eighth grade in a country school to helpkeep it open.) After completing his education,Heath is full time on the ranch and Garret is astudent at Sioux County High School.

Home schooling made it possible for thisyounger generation to remain closely tied to dailyranching operations, while laying the groundworkfor obtaining well-rounded, real-life quality educa-tion. According to Pelster it was possible toarrange work and learning schedules to meet theneeds of both.

Pelster began her own operation when she tookout her first FSA loan. Her parents offered her anopportunity to buy a few head of quality Anguscows. "They encouraged me to get the loan becausewe all enjoy this life, and they wanted to do whatthey could to let me get into it on my own," Pelstersaid. "When I paid off that loan, I got another FSAloan to buy 108 head. I was a college freshmanthen."

Pelster got her first youth loan in 1998 and paidit off two years early. She then took out an adultloan to purchase the additional cattle, and alsoobtained an operating loan. The young womansaid she prefers to buy her parents' line of Angusbecause she knows the quality of their animals.

"It's beneficial to know the breeding, and it helpskeep the numbers up on my parents' place. We'llsee what happens when I pay off this loan. Thewhole family is involved in the ranch, and theylease a lot of ground. It all depends on if grass isavailable then."

As far as the Farm Service Agency is concerned,"Naomi is a model borrower," said Laurie Morris,who oversees Pelster's loans at the ScottsbluffFSA office. "That first loan provided her an oppor-tunity to run cattle, and build from there. It'spriceless to do what you love, and Naomi loves thislife. It's intensely satisfying for me if I can make adifference in people's lives, like Naomi."

Pelster has been involved in the family ranchsince she can remember. In addition to being homeschooled so she could be more involved in dailyoperations, she gradually took on more responsi-bilities. These include just about everything frombookkeeping chores to helping build the barn usedfor their bull sales. It isn't all work though. Sheand her brothers have been members of the JuniorAngus Association, and, along with a number oftheir cousins, showed cattle at the 2000 NationalJunior Angus Show. In 1999-2000, Pelster wasNebraska Angus Queen, and one of the five final-ists for the national title. She said that herranching background proved helpful in her quali-fications as a candidate, and the scholarshipswere welcome in paying for college.

As well as being dedicated to living on a ranch,Pelster always wanted to be a nurse. She receivedher Associates Degree as a registered nurse fromCasper Community College in Casper, Wyo.During those years she also drove home everyweekend to work on the ranch. With her degree,she returned to the Nebraska Panhandle and theranch, and began her nursing career at RegionalWest Medical Center. Pelster invested seven yearsas an ICU nurse, two years full time, as well asworking on the ranch. She then re-arranged herschedule to part time when one of her brothers leftfor college, and another set of hands was needed

ALMA - The Lower Republican NaturalResources District Board of Directors now has60 days to decide whether to sign an integratedwater management agreement with the stateDepartment of Natural Resources.

About 30 people attended a public hearing onthe plan Thursday, June 16 in Alma, saidLRNRD Assistant Manager Bryan Lubeck. Ofthe eight who testified as individuals or onbehalf of federal and state agencies, four wereagainst the plan as written, two urged theboard to sign it and two were neutral.

"Certainly there wasn't anything earth-shat-tering" in the testimony, Lubeck added.

State law requires Republican Basin NRDs,which oversee groundwater use, to write inte-grated water management plans with DNR,which regulates surface water. Also involved isfederal law that requires compliance with the1943 Republican River Compact.

LRNRD General Manager Mike Clements hassaid the overall goal is to allow his district tomeet its share of compliance responsibilities.That will be done by retiring some acres fromirrigation and with possible streamflowaugmentation projects.

Lubeck said there will be two more regularLRNRD board meetings, on July 14 and Aug.11, before the 60-day decision period expires.

One unresolved issue is LRNRD officials'interest in re-evaluating the percentage of

streamflow depletions assigned to the Lower,Middle and Upper Republican NRDs.

"We're afraid that if we sign it (the plan) thatissue will not surface for a long time," Lubecksaid. Anything approved by both the LRNRDand state officials probably will be enforced formany years, he said, because there is no sunsetdate included.

"We do not get a do-over," Lubeck continued,although there is a process to make changes inthe future. "But to change things, you have tohave DNR willing to change things."

U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm ServiceAgency officials say reports from ag producersare vital to get an accurate picture of stormdamage to crops, buildings and equipment.

"We need to have numbers, costs, where it'sat," said Sharon Blue, acting executive directorfor the FSA in Buffalo and Sherman counties."We need to map this out."

Also, she said, reports are vital for farmers toqualify for assistance from possible federaldisaster declarations.

Blue said that as of Tuesday morning, she hadreports of homes damaged in the Elm Creek,Ravenna and Amherst areas, plus a dozen ormore pivot irrigation systems tossed by torna-does on Monday. "I think I have the tip of theiceberg here," she said.

Where tornadoes touched down, the crops aregone. Other hail-damaged crops that weren't"green snapped" may rebound, but Blue saidthat damage still needs to be reported.

She planned to contact her county committeemembers for help in identifying damages intheir areas and initiate a "calling chain" toproducers in the known damaged areas.

Dawson County Executive Director JohnValentine said there is significant hail damagefrom a Saturday night storm in a wide area ofthe Platte River Valley from about five mileseast of Lexington into western Buffalo County.

Franklin and Harlan county officials aretrying to define another big area of hail damagethat night in northern parts of their counties.

One Upland area producer reported adamaged area five miles wide and 11 miles longin his area. Franklin County Executive DirectorVal Phelps also found heavy hail damage in theMacon and Hildreth areas.

"I had a couple of guys in Monday who werepretty dejected," Harlan County ExecutiveDirector Lee Christensen said about haildamage in the Ragan area.

Kearney County Executive Director LarryEvans toured an area from southwest ofHighway 10 to north of Axtell on Monday. Hecouldn't tell if the corn and soybean damagefrom Sunday night that he saw along theFranklin-Kearney county line and other areaswas from high winds or hail.

"The worst damage we found was along R roadsouth of the new Awarii (Dunes) golf course,"Evans said, estimating that almost 8,000 acreshad severe crop damage.

Phelps County Executive Director GalenEhrke planned a driving tour today to check onreports of hail north of Funk and south ofHoldrege on Sunday night, and in the Raganarea on Saturday.

"I've heard a lot of bits and pieces," Ehrkesaid, adding that it's important to get morecomplete reports from producers.

*Heavy rains encourage slug problems. Checkfor slugs during rainy periods and hand pick thepests.

*For hanging baskets in cool, shady locations,use tuberous begonias, ferns, impatiens or fibrousrooted begonias in combination with trailingplants, such as English ivy.

*Remove old flower heads from annual beddingplants to keep them blooming.

*Disbud chrysanthemum flowers to securelarge, beautiful blooms on straight, strong stems.To disbud, remove the small side buds along thestems which form in the angles of the leaves. Thiswill allow all of the food reserves to be used forone large flower rather than many smaller ones.

*Plant annual flowers in tubs or largecontainers for the porch or terrace. Make surethere are holes in the container's bottom toprovide good drainage.

*Remove foliage from spring bulbs after it turnsyellow and begins to dry. Set out bedding plants tocover the bare spots using care not to damage thebulbs.

*Watch for and control blackspot and powderymildew on rose foliage.

*Use bark mulch around young trees to protectthem from lawn mower damage.

*Spring flowering shrubs such as spirea,viburnum, lilac and forsythia should be pruned assoon as they are done blooming.

*Mid to late June is an excellent time to takesoftwood cuttings of shrubs to start new plants.Some shrubs which can be propagated in this wayare spirea, lilac and viburnum.

*When you buy nursery stock that is containergrown, check the root ball and make sure it is notbound too tightly. A mass of circling roots will staythat way even after it is planted in the ground.

*If you do not have much room to landscape,consider using some of the many dwarf varietiesavailable. These are plants that have slow growthand stay small, so there is little pruning mainte-nance. There are numerous dwarf evergreens,flowering trees and shrubs from which to choose.

*After your vegetable garden is well estab-lished, it is best to water it thoroughly once a

week rather than giving it a light wateringeveryday. That way, a deeper root system isencouraged to develop, which will later help theplants tolerate dry weather.

*Keep a close eye on the quality of your springcrops. Hot weather causes lettuce to bolt andbecome bitter. Plant a warm season crop as soonas the spring vegetables are harvested.

*In most cases, blossom-end rot on tomatoes,peppers, squash and watermelons can beprevented. Do this by maintaining uniform soilmoisture by mulching and watering correctly,planting in well drained soil and not cultivatingdeeper than one inch within one foot of the plant.Also avoid the use of high nitrogen fertilizers.

*Continue planting warm season vegetablecrops such as beans, squash and cucumbers.

* The best time to harvest most herbs is justbefore flowering, when the leaves contain themaximum essential oils.

*Before pouring gasoline into the fuel tank ofyour lawn mower, garden tiller or other gardenequipment, be sure to turn off the engine andallow it to cool for at least five minutes.

*Identify garden pests before you attempt tocontrol them. If you decide to use chemicalcontrol, read the label carefully.

*Bats can be an effective way to control insects.One big brown bat can eat 3,000 to 7,000 insectseach night. Attract bats by building and placingbat houses in your yard.

*Leftover vegetable and flower seeds may bestored in a cool dry location to be saved forplanting next year.

*Start a gardening notebook. Pay special atten-tion to those plants which withstand droughtconditions.

*During the hot summer months, mulch can beespecially useful for conserving water. Forvegetable gardens, shredded leaves or grass clip-pings are good mulch material. For ornamentals,pine needles or wood bark do the best job.

*Weed removal is important for a number ofreasons. It conserves moisture, conserves nutri-ents in the soil and helps prevent the spread ofdisease and insects.

on pavement. While all-terrain vehicles have beena work-saver for farmers and ranchers, familiesneed to take the time and effort to teach youth howto operate them safely. The biggest risk factorsleading to injuries are driver misuse and inappro-priate driving behavior, such as excessive speedand allowing passengers to ride. If you have anATV, sit down with your children this week andreview rules for the use of the ATV. You will alsoneed to decide the consequences if the rules are notfollowed (loss of ATV privileges might be a goodone). Make an appointment for a rider course fromyour local ATV dealer or contact your local UNLextension office for a rider course in your area. Ifyour children visit homes where there is an ATV,you should also discuss your expectations and howyour children should handle situations wherethere are few or no rules — such as no use ofhelmets or the allowing of passengers on the ATV.

Tractor Safety is Everyone’s Business

“Higher, Grandpa, higher!” Gleefully shouted 4-year-old Mikey Dobberpuhl to his grandfather,Harlow. His grandfather was feeding cattle with afront-end loader on a brisk March day in SouthDakota. Mikey loved shadowing his grandfather’severy move at chore time, even on a snowpackedwinter day like this one. As he had done manytimes before, Mikey jumped in the scoop of thetractor-loader.

With Mikey in tow, his grandfather drove towardthe haystack. Once there, Harlow briefly glancedbackward. Horrified, he saw Mikey’s body lying inthe snow. “I was hoping the soft snow would havecushioned him, but it wasn’t enough,” his grandfa-ther said. Today, the Mikey D. Chapter (of FarmSafety 4 Just Kids) of Conde, SD works feverishlyto educate local children, youth, and farm familiesabout not only tractor safety, but all aspects offarm safety. (Reprinted with permission from theDakota Farmer)

Annually, in the United States, over 350 fatali-ties are related to tractor incidents. Thirty percentof farm machinery related deaths are among chil-dren under the age of five. Tractors are essential tomodern agriculture, but unfortunately, in the U.S.,

are identified as the largest hazard on the farm.Roll-over protective structure (ROPS) and seatbelts, when worn, are the two most importantsafety devices to protect operators from deathduring tractor overturns. As parents, it is impor-tant to both teach and model safe behavior whenoperating a tractor. When teaching and super-vising teens, practice these tips:

• Securely fasten your seat belt in tractors withROPS or cabs.

• Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes,and on rough, muddy or slick terrain.

• Avoid slopes that are too steep for safe opera-tion.

• No riders. Riders are allowed only for teachingor supervising

purposes.• Be sure everyone is clear before moving.• Set brakes and use park locks, if available.• Remove keys when leaving the tractor.Young children should never be allowed to ride

along on a tractor. Remember: No extra riders, noinjured riders. It can’t get any simpler.

Safety Around PondsDrowning ranks second only to motor vehicle

mishaps as the most common cause of accidentaldeath for children. Children under age 4 are espe-cially high risk. Even adults are at risk in watermuddied by silt, plants, and fish. It takes only afew moments and an inch of water for a child todrown. Small children have been known to drownin 5-gallon buckets. Most drowning, however,occurs when a child is left alone or accidentally

falls into a pool or pond. Farm ponds can lookinviting, but many times they are deep with asudden dropoff. A person can go from knee deepwater to water 50 feet deep in seconds.Additionally, weeds growing from the bottom canentangle a person, making it difficult or impossibleto return to the surface. If you live close to a pondor irrigation source, take steps this spring to keepyour family safe. Begin with these:

• Provide children over 3 years with swimminglessons.

• Fence off ponds and other water areas asfeasible.

• Never leave a young child alone in water. Achild can drown in the time it takes to answer aphone call.

• Adopt a “swimming buddy” policy for children.Where swimming is allowed, be sure childrenalways swim with a friend or adult.

• Insist children use personal flotation devices,such as buoyant vests, cushions, or rings.

• Keep rescue equipment near water areas.Purchase a flotation device or make one from agallon plastic jug and attach a rope. Install asafety post near the pond. Tie the loose end of therope to the post. Add a laminated poster withinstructions on how to use and other water safetytips near the top of the post.

• Teach older children and teens “Reach, Throw,and Wade,” so they do not risk their lives to help adrowning victim.

• Be sure all swimmers know how to get helpquickly. Older teens and adults should learn CPR.

• Never swim during storms or lightning.Drowning rates are three times higher in ruralareas than in urban areas and often occur in waterlike farm ponds and irrigation canals.

Summer and water go together, so help keepyour family safe with adult supervision of youngchildren and teaching water safety measures to allfamily members.

These tips also apply to rivers and creeks, manyof which are experiencing high water levels thisspring.

NebraskaCattle onFeed Up 2 Percent

Nebraska feedlots, with capacities of 1,000or more head, contained 2.19 million cattle onfeed on June 1, according to USDA’s NationalAgricultural Statistics Service, NebraskaField Office. This inventory was up 2 percentfrom last year.

Placements in feedlots during May totaled340,000 head, down 11 percent from 2010.

Marketings of fed cattle during May totaled495,000 head, up 9 percent from last year.Other disappearance during May totaled25,000 head, unchanged from 2010.

U.S. Cattle on Feed Up 4 Percent

Cattle and calves on feed for slaughtermarket in the United States for feedlots withcapacity of 1,000 or more head totaled 10.9million head on June 1, 2011. The inventorywas 4 percent above June 1, 2010.

Placements in feedlots during May totaled1.81 million, 11 percent below 2010.

A number of factors interplay and make waterrequirement and needs difficult to assess.Because feeds themselves contain some waterand the oxidation of certain nutrients in feedsproduces water, not all must be provided asdrinking water. Feeds such as silages, greenchop or pasture are usually high in moisture,while grains and hays are low. Feeds high inwater content reduce water intake when cattleconsume them. High energy feeds produce moremetabolic water compared to low energy feeds.

As you think about water intake, it is mainlyinfluenced by environmental temperature, classof livestock, and weight. This just makes sense.Water needs increase as temperature increases.Lactating cows have a greater need for water ascompared to non-lactating cows. Data suggeststhat bulls have a greater daily water require-ment than non-lactating cows and is likely afunction of weight. As feeder cattle get heavier,daily water intake increases.

A University of Georgia publication lists theestimated water requirements for cattle indifferent production stages if the daily hightemperature is 90 degrees F. Their data suggestfor cattle in this environmental condition,growing animal or a lactating cow needs 2gallons of water per 100 pounds of body weight.A non-lactating cow or bull needs 1 gallon ofwater per 100 pounds of body weight. As anexample, spring calving cows will need close to24 gallons per day for themselves and another 5to 10 gallons of water for their calf in these hightemperature environmental conditions. On dayswith extreme heat, expect the water usage to goup even further. Remember, some of that waterwill come from feed they eat and vegetativegrass is high in water content. Also, for thenursing calf, a portion of the daily water needswill come from the dam’s milk.

Providing clean, fresh water is always a goalfor the livestock producer. There are a number ofitems that affect water quality. Producer need to

adapt management practices that do not nega-tively impact water quality.

Water that contains high amounts of totaldissolved salts (TDS) can result in reducedperformance. Cows will adapt to some salt intheir water. Care must be taken if salt is used tolimit intake of a feed in a free-choice supplemen-tation management strategy. Cattle actuallyprefer water that contains very small amounts ofsalt. Research would suggest that water thatcontains a TDS of 5,000 ppm results in about a10 percent reduction in performance. Guidelinessuggest that water that contains 3,000 ppm TDSor less is usually satisfactory for most livestock.Water that contains 5,000 to7,000 ppm TDSshould not be used for pregnant or lactatingfemales.

Nitrates themselves are not poisonous tocattle; however, in the rumen, nitrates areconverted to nitrites and nitrites and absorbedinto the bloodstream and converts hemoglobin tomethemoglobin. Methemoglobin does not bind tooxygen and the oxygen carrying capacity of theblood is reduced. Cattle can be adapted tonitrates, but it must be done slowly. However, itis stilled advised to avoid high nitrate water asa source for livestock. A safe level of NitrateNitrogen in the water for cattle is less than 100ppm. Water over 100 ppm NO3N needs to bemanaged when used as a part of cattle’s diet.Remember, total nitrate intake would be thesum of the nitrates contained in both the feedand water consumed.

Animals can become acclimated to the sulfatesin water. Consider diluting high sulfate waterwith low sulfate water for newly arrivedanimals. The sulfate recommendation for calvesis less than 500 ppm (167 ppm sulfur as sulfate).For adult cattle the recommendation is less than1,000 ppm (333 ppm sulfur as sulfate). Cautionis required in evaluating sulfate levels in waterbecause of interactions with copper and molyb-denum and the inhibiting effect compounds suchas sodium fluoride have on sulfate absorption forthe digestive tract. In addition, high levels of

Live cattle trade has been higher in active trade thisweek. Early week buying interest developed following thesupportive cattle on feed report last Friday, but profit tak-ing by market longs developed at midweek. The weekly netchange is $1.52 higher on the June contract and August isup $1.50. Cash trade has been slow to develop this week, butis called steady to $1 higher. Improved packer margins arenoted for the optimism this week. On the chart, AugustCattle posted a downward reversal yesterday after tradingwithin 5 cents of its 100-day moving average. This may pro-mote additional selling interest today. Since last Thursday,the upward move on the chart has been paralleled by adecline in open interest. This indicates that the recent rally

may be tied only to short covering and profit taking.Sustained buying interest will be hard to find if this trendcontinues without fresh fundamental support. Cutout val-ues were firm again yesterday with choice up 1.65 at 177.97and select up .86 at 173.01. The USDA monthly cold storagereport showed total beef stocks at 453.77 million poundswhich was up from expectations of 447 million pounds and448.8 million pounds last month. The cattle on-feed reportwas bullish last Friday afternoon. As a review, total on feedwas only 104% versus the average trade guess of 105.5%.Marketings were a whopping 107% versus 103% expected.Placements were only 89% versus 92.5% expected.

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due to contin-ued chart buying. The weekly net change is $2.62 higher onthe July contract and August is up $2.47. Cash trade hasbeen mostly steady this week. Iowa hog weights were report-ed on Wednesday at 268.3 pounds which is .3 pounds lighterversus last week and 2.3 pounds smaller versus last year.The monthly cold storage report was negative on Wednesdaywhich has been noted for the midweek pullback. Total porkstocks were reported at 545.1 million pounds which was upsharply versus expectations of 510 million pounds. Stocks offrozen pork bellies were reported at 56.53 million poundsversus expectations of 54.4 million. The sell off at midweekindicates that the trade will likely see position squaring therest of the week ahead of the Quarterly Hogs and Pigsreport. The trade will need to see a breeding herd reductionon the report to support trade into next week if cattle can notfind support.

RANCH FAMILY LEGACY CONTINUES WITH FSA SUPPORTContinued from page 21

on the ranch. Even during her full-time years, herschudule was "bunched" so she could spend ablock of 10 days on the ranch. She worked atRegional West until December 2010, when it wastime for her to focus on a new aspect of her life --the birth of Chisum, her and husband Jeff's son,who arrived on March 7, 2011. Even with the addi-tional responsibilities, Pelster still does someprivate nursing.

Pelster credits her life on the ranch for her workethic, and her communication skills, both essen-tial to nursing and dealing with critical situa-tions. She said you find them in calving or inbuilding a sale barn, when you have other lives inyour hands. "Handling critical situations is part ofwho we become," she said of ranchers.

While Pelster was getting her nurse's trainingat Casper, she was also preparing for life on the

ranch. She attended artificial inseminationschool, and embryo transfer school. With a laugh,she said, "I don't think there are many nursingstudents who take ag classes, too." But the dualtraining has been important. She was offered a jobas a veterinarian's assistant because of her nursestraining, ag classes, and ranching background,but put that option on hold for maybe later in life.

In the meantime, she and Jeff Pelster becameacquainted through their ranching family experi-ences and married almost three years ago. Pelstersaid there must be something about bull sales,because that was where she and Jeff met, andseveral of their married friends have met duringthe same events. The Pelsters now live and workon a ranch north of Harrison, but it is closeenough that when needed, either one or both cancome and help on the Gray ranch.

And now they have another rancher in training.Young Chisum had already been to five bull salesbefore he was born, and took in four more bullsales by the time he was three weeks old. He alsohelped deliver bulls to eastern Nebraska, helpedhis mother by sleeping through a bull sale she wasclerking, and was on hand to sort cattle. He's alsomanaged to make five brandings, plus much morein his first three months as a ranch hand.

In what may be an indication of his future,Chisum went with mom and dad to close on anFSA operating loan on the way home from thehospital after he was born. "He was a good sportabout it," Naomi said of the office visit. "He sleptthrough it all."

With that kind of start, Naomi said she's prettysure Chisum will continue the family plan in histurn.

Rained on hay. Sometimes it’s down so long thatit’s virtually worthless. Trouble is, what do you dowith it?

Rained on hay causes many problems.Obviously, feed value of the hay is lowered. Andmany times, in our rush to put this hay up, it getsbaled or stacked too wet, which causes mold orheat damage to develop.

Sometimes a bigger problem, though, is thelong-term damage to the regrowing plants.Driving over the field repeatedly — trying to turnhay to hasten its drying — will injure regrowth

and can cause soil compaction, especially if theground is soft.

But, not driving on the field leaves an evenbigger problem with the windrows. If they staythere until next cutting, plants underneath will besmothered. This not only lowers yield, it creates aterrible weed problem as grasses and broadleavesinfest the killed strips. These weeds will contam-inate all subsequent cuttings. In addition, ifrained on hay windrows are left in the field, theyfrequently will plug your mower next cutting, bothslowing you down and maybe even expanding yourvocabulary.

So — remove that hay any way you can. Bale it,chop it, even blow it back on the ground as mulch.

You may need to damage plants by driving onthem to turn hay to speed drying and get sunlightto plants underneath. But do it anyway to preventold windrows from ruining the rest of your hayingyear.

Then, watch for problems in the damaged strips.Insects and weeds may invade, and then needtreating to prevent further problems.

There isn’t much of a positive paybackmanaging rained on hay, but to ignore it is evenmore expensive.

sulfates may also contribute to an increased inci-dence of polioencephelomalacia (PEM), a braindisorder found in cattle. If copper deficiencyproblems are suspected, water sources should beanalyzed for sulfates to determine if high sulfatelevels are contributing to the problem.Remember, distillers grains can be high in sulfurand sulfur intake is the amount from the feedsand water consumed.

Stagnant water is an excellent environment todevelop blue-green algae that can be toxic tocattle. The scum that you see on the inside ofstock tanks is algae. Ponds seem to be the mostcommon reservoir for blue-green algae. Toxicityis most common after rapid bloom normallyoccurring in late summer when cattle have theirgreatest water consumption. Toxicity as a resultof blue-green algae is difficult to predict. Algaeblooms can be controlled in a pond by usingcopper sulfate (blue stone). Be aware that a rapiddie-off of algae may result in killing fish. Contactyour extension person for guideline for theamount of copper sulfate to use. The best way tocontrol blue-green algae is to eliminate thesource of nutrients entering the pond.

Water is the most important nutrient for cattle.Daily provide a clean supply of water for yourcattle. As you think about developing grazingsystems, the water system will impact grazingdistribution.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ Two companies areteaming up to build Nebraska's largest windfarm.

The Lincoln Journal Star says Tuesday thatWay Wind LLC of Madison, Wis., and NordexUSA of Frankfurt, Germany, want to put 48turbines on up to 8,000 acres near Winside inWayne County in northeast Nebraska.

The combined output would be 120 megawatts,or enough power for nearly 47,000 homes.

Currently, the state's two largest wind farmsproduce 81 megawatts of power. Those are inBoone and Knox counties.

Wes Slaymaker, a partner in Way Wind, saysthe project is expected to cost around $250million. He says the companies still have tosubmit an application to the Nebraska PowerReview Board, but he hopes the wind farm willbe operational by the end of 2013.
