KEARNEY - A major offensivewill begin Labor Day weekagainst phragmites and otherinvasive plants choking thePlatte River from Columbus toKingsley Dam.

With more than $1 million ingrants this year in their fightagainst weeds, officials of thePlatte Valley and West CentralWeed Management Areas willextend helicopter spraying alongthe long river corridor.

State funds for riparian vegeta-tion control focused the past twoyears on the Republican Basin.Now, it's the Platte Basin's turn.

Platte Valley WMA GrantCoordinator Rich Walters of TheNature Conservancy's PlatteRiver Habitat Partnership atWood River expects that morethan 6,000 acres of phragmites,purple loosestrife and saltcedarswill be sprayed by helicoptersoperated by Provine, aGreenwood, Miss., company.

"At sunrise, they'll start. ... Ifthe weather allows, they'll sprayall day," Walters said.

Buffalo County WeedSuperintendent Dick Kincaid,the Platte Valley WMA chairman,said Habitat will be used becauseit's a herbicide approved foraquatic areas and meets all fed-eral safety standards. "It's thestandard application," he said,"and it has a history of gettingthe job done."

Platte Basin weed managershad limited funding the past twoyears, so spraying was focused onchokepoints at the city of NorthPlatte and from near Gothenburgto Elm Creek. Now they havemoney to spray hundreds of milesof weed-choked river.

Walters said NebraskaEnvironmental Trust officialsapproved $1 million over threeyears, with $400,000 earmarked

for 2009 and again in 2010, and$200,000 for 2011. The NebraskaDepartment of Agriculture allo-cated its full amount for 2009,$500,000, to the Platte Basin.

The Central Platte NaturalResources District, which runsalong the north side of the riverfrom Gothenburg to nearColumbus, is providing $117,000."This is the third year in a rowthat they (CPNRD) have been bigcontributors," Kincaid said.

In 2008, CPNRD's $100,000allowed disking of phragmitesbetween Elm Creek and Odessaand in Hall County to testwhether doing some ground workbefore spraying results in betterweed control.

Also for 2009, the three-statePlatte River RecoveryImplementation Program is allo-cating $80,000 to work on the

North Platte chokepoint. Walterssaid there's a verbal agreementfor more Platte program funds in2010 and 2011.

Landowners along the riverwill play vital roles now and intothe future.

Walters and Kincaid said about80 percent of landowners sentnotification letters have giventheir OK for spraying. They'remaking follow-up contacts withlandowners who haven't respond-ed.

Aerial spraying will start atColumbus and reach Kearney bymid-September. The project willskip an area from Elm Creek toHershey sprayed in 2008 andresume from Hershey to KingsleyDam.

NFU president saysCongress must acton climate change,health careBy Robert PoreGrand Island Independent

ST. PAUL — The United States is facing some“enormous challenges,” according to RogerJohnson, president of the National Farmers Union.

Johnson was in St. Paul Thursday morning atthe Nebraska Farmers Union District 2 FallMeeting. On Wednesday night, he attended theDistrict 3 Fall Meeting in Lawrence.Accompanying him at both meetings was JohnHansen, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union.

At both of those meet-ings, Johnsonaddressed the two hotbutton issues on theminds of a lot ofAmericans this summer— health care reformand climate change leg-islation, which are bothgoing to be addressedby Congress when law-makers return fromtheir summer recess.

“These are eventsthat maybe once adecade you can expectone of them to be considered, but you have both ofthem cued up in Congress right now at a time whenwe are digging out of one of the deepest economiccrises since the Great Depression,” he said.

According to Johnson, both health care reformand climate change legislation are vital pieces oflegislation for the country.

In health care, Johnson said, NFU has supporteda single-payer system for a long time.

He said health care reform is especially a vitalissue for agriculture “because we experience (diffi-culties) at more extreme rates than the rest of soci-ety.”

“We have less access on a per capita basis inrural areas than in urban areas,” Johnson said.“Farmers are older than average, meaning theypay higher premiums. As a rule, they buy individ-ual policies instead of group policies and pay high-er premiums. The real kicker, though, is that mostof us end up buying these individual policies with

August broughtanother month of belownormal temperaturesto the U.S. corn belt.Average temperaturesacross Nebraska weregenerally 2-4 F belownormal, with thelargest departures con-fined to portions ofnorth central, north-east, and east centralsections of the state.

Crops in Nebraskaare running about 10days behind schedule,

but areas east and north of the state are 2-4 weeksbehind. Light frost was reported across northeastMinnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan during thecouple days of August.

No major crop damage was reported as most ofthese areas are forested. In order for the areaseast and north of Nebraska to escape significantfreeze damage, average high temperaturesthrough early October will need to be in the low80's and low temperatures in the mid 50's. Inother words, temperatures will need to average

nearly 10 F above normal to offset the impacts ofbelow normal temperatures during July andAugust.

Week One Forecast, 9/5-9/11: High pressurewill dominate the central Plains during 9/5-9/8period. High temperatures are projected to rangefrom the upper 70's east to mid 80's west on 9/5warming into the low to mid 80's during the 9/6-9/8period.

A strong upper air trough will work eastwardfrom the Pacific northwest and begin to drive acold front through the state on 9/9. Isolated show-ers are possible across the Panhandle late on 9/8,with showers and thunderstorms moving west toeast on 9/9.

The cold front should clear the state during themorning hours of 9/10, with no precipitationexpected for the remainder of the period. Highswill cool from the upper 70's to low 80's on 9/9 tothe mid 60's northeast to mid 70's southwest dur-ing the 9/10-9/11 period.

Weather models don’t indicate frost develop-ment, but low lying areas may be vulnerable if themodels are underestimating the intensity of coldair expected to move into the region.

Week Two Forecast, 9/12-9/18: High pressure isexpected to dominate the central U.S. throughout

the period. Weather models currently indicate asmall chance for isolated showers across thePanhandle during the afternoon hours of 9/16 and9/17 as some southwest monsoon moisture movesinto the western High Plains region.

Otherwise, no significant frontal boundaries areprojected to move through the state and dry condi-tions are expected.

High temperatures are forecasted to be in theupper 70's to low 80's statewide. Coolest readingswill be across northeast Nebraska, with the south-west and southern Panhandle having the bestchance to reach the mid 80's.

Labor Day traditionally celebrates the social and eco-nomic achievements of the American worker.Unfortunately, this Labor Day finds our nation’s workersin a tough spot with an economy in recession and ourcountry’s unemployment rate nearing 10 percent.

Nebraska has been able to avoid the worst of unem-ployment numbers for the most part, but our state is stilllinked to America’s overall economy. According to theDepartment of Labor, in the month of July, 247,000Americans lost their jobs, bringing the job loss totalssince the recession began to 6.7 million and the totalnumber of Americans out of work to 14.5 million.

Throughout the month of August, I had the chance totalk with Nebraskans from across the state about healthcare, energy costs, and the economy. People are con-cerned about the future of our country, and I want tomake sure hasty and irresponsible government actiondoes not make things worse.

Currently, there is a push to enact the Employee FreeChoice Act – a bill more commonly known as “card check”after a provision which would allow workers to unionizeby simply signing in a public petition process rather thanthrough secret-ballot voting.

Fair and equal treatment in the workplace begins withindividual rights for the employee. The Employee Free

Choice Act would require the National Labor RelationsBoard to recognize unions formed by a petition-basedsystem – without a secret ballot election – if labor repre-sentatives obtained signatures from 51 percent of a com-pany’s workforce.

The bill also would impose a government-appointedarbitrator to set contract terms – including wages andbenefits – if companies and newly formed unions can’tcome to an agreement within 120 days. The legislationalso would increase penalties on employers which violatelabor laws during organizing periods, but does notstrengthen penalties for unions.

Employers which improperly intimidate workers orengage in other unfair labor practices to thwart unionorganizing campaigns should be punished. However, theoverall result of this legislation would effectively removeworkers’ rights to secret ballot elections, leaving themvulnerable to harassment and intimidation.

No one ever should be forced into or prevented fromjoining a labor union, which is why I oppose any meas-ure which would repeal workers’ rights to a secret ballot.Instead, I am a cosponsor of the Secret Ballot ProtectionAct, which would require a secret ballot election to deter-mine union authorization.

The legislation I support emphasizes a key tenant of

our democracy, whereas card check legislation takesaway the secret ballot, in addition to imposing bindingarbitration and increasing penalties on businesses largeand small. For small businesses which maintain a num-ber of part-timers, union mandates on shifts, pay breaks,benefits and other rules could force many to close theirdoors.

This bill is not designed to create jobs or speed our eco-nomic recovery. Instead, it would have a chilling effecton efforts to stimulate the American economy at a timewhen it is struggling to recover. The bill will drive upthe cost of creating jobs for employers, especially smallbusinesses and agriculture producers, and could lead toeven greater job losses.

The future of this issue is unclear. There remain sev-eral hurdles to its final passage – and a final version hasyet to be seen.

Whatever form the final legislation takes, the goalshould be to empower workers to choose whether toorganize, as free as possible from intimidation fromeither the unions or their employers. Workers shouldhave the right to live up to the ideals of Labor Day with-out being strong-armed by bosses – their own or those ofa union.

Guiding pinciples for Healthcare Reformby Senator Ben Nelson

During the annual August break fromWashington I will be traveling throughoutNebraska holding public meetings onhealth care reform. I have already heardfrom thousands of Nebraskans and thesepublic meetings will give me a chance tohear from many more. It’s important tolisten to their comments and suggestionsbecause whatever plan is finally proposedmust work for Nebraska.

I will not support anything until I haveseen everything and there is no final pro-posal at this time that has the president’ssupport. The following are some generalprinciples that will guide me along theway.

Control CostsWe must bring ever increasing costs

under control. From 2001 to 2007, premi-ums for family insurance coverageincreased 78 percent while incomeincreased just 19 percent, with inflationconsuming these wages at a rate of 17 per-

cent. This is an unsustainable path,threatening the American dream andjeopardizing our global competitiveness.

Private market solutionsWhile some have called for establishing

a public plan, I believe we cannot effec-tively resolve our health care crisis ifCongress becomes weighted down by par-tisan bickering on the margins. There isa growing consensus on simplifying andguaranteeing access to affordable cover-age, eliminating insurers’ ability to denycoverage or charge higher premiumsbecause of preexisting conditions, invest-ing in health care workforce issues, andimproving the delivery of care.

It would be ill-advised to sacrifice theadvancements which have been made onthese critical issues by seeking a big gov-ernment-run option that would pullAmericans away from coverage they havenow, with little more to offer than cosmet-ic improvements.

Employer-based systemPreserving employer involvement is one

of the single greatest ways to avoid desta-bilizing the coverage Americans currentlyhave. Employers help individuals navi-gate the insurance market, negotiate andadvocate on their behalf, and help paypremiums.

State-Based RegulationThe state-based regulatory system pro-

vides local accountability and is an opera-tional component from which Americansall stand to lose if it is dismantled or dete-riorated.

Access portalsWe need to empower individuals with

transparent information about theirhealth care coverage by creating state-based access portals, so they can easilycompare co-pays, networks, provider qual-ity measures and access to medicalrecords, ultimately making more

informed decisions about the coveragethey deserve.

Encouraging healthful living and caringfor chronic disease

Each of us must take personal responsi-bility for our own health and America’shealth care system should provide indi-viduals with improved tools and service tomake better decisions about their well-ness.

Elements For ReformThere is a lot of misinformation and

confusion surrounding this issue and peo-ple have a right to be concerned. My goal,as the independent Nebraskan who hasserved you as governor and senator is toensure that the final plan will reducecosts, increase quality, expand coverage tothose unable to get it while not undermin-ing the insurance 200 million Americansnow have without raising taxes or addingto the deficit. It’s a tall order but it can beaccomplished if all of us work together.

Unanimous Agreement on improving VA Facilityby Senator Mike Johanns

Last week, our state and our military veterans gotsome great news at a Senate Veterans' AffairsCommittee field hearing I chaired in Omaha. Every wit-ness, including VA officials, agreed that major new con-struction is needed at the Omaha VA Medical Center.

The timeliness of this hearing became more pro-nounced after the VA released a feasibility study on thefacility earlier in the week. The study outlined five reno-vation options, ranging from partial renovation to majornew construction. I am very pleased that the recom-mended option in the feasibility study recognizes theneed for significant new construction, which was unani-mously reinforced at the hearing.

There is no doubt this facility is worn out, much like a1950 Chevy in need of replacement. We all agreed it isour responsibility to see that this new facility for our vet-erans is achieved. These veterans, who throughout theirlives always put their country first, deserve much morethan an outdated facility.

One of the witnesses at the hearing was DonaldOrndoff, Director of the VA Office of Construction and

Facilities Management. He let us know that the OmahaVA Medical Center is very high on the priority list at theU.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

David Brown, President of the Omaha Chamber ofCommerce, noted the Omaha community has a stronghistory of investing in economic growth opportunitiesthat benefit our citizens, including about $11 billion overthe past five years.

A new VA Medical Center will be a large undertaking.But the issues outlined in the feasibility study make acompelling case for modernization. Our veterans areworth the investment and I know Omaha can handle aproject of this magnitude.

Specifically, Director Orndorff recommended a plan"similar in size and scope" to a proposal outlined in thefeasibility study which would expand the VA MedicalCenter by 754,000 square feet. Most of this expansionwould be two new onsite patient facilities.

One building would overhaul the surgical suite andwould provide the Medical Center with state-of-the-artsurgical equipment. The second building would be a 10-

floor clinical suite, and according to the feasibility study,would "provide space for the most direct patient care andsupport functions on the Omaha campus."

Additionally, the study asserts this expansion would"provide the best environment of care without compro-mising space, function, efficiency, and patient safety"and "would provide the greatest improvements to patientand staff satisfaction."

I am very optimistic about the future of the Omaha VAMedical Center, and the future of medical care forNebraska's veterans. The commitment shown at thehearing is important and I will work hard to ensure thefacility is sufficiently upgraded.

This is something I believe all Nebraskans can sup-port, because our military heroes from across the statewill benefit greatly from it. I look forward to workingwith the VA, my colleagues in the Nebraska delegation,and others to follow through on this commitment tothose who put their lives on the line for our country.

If you asked most auctioneers I think they'dagree that momentum is what makes auctions thebest way to sell darn near anything.

There are a lot of things that can break themomentum and freeze an auction as if someonehad fired off a stink bomb. A long-winded color com-mentator, rookie ring man or mechanical difficultycan all stop the flow of commerce faster than anexpired credit card. I once saw the in-gate at a bullsale get so stuck that by the time they cut it loosewith a cutting torch a once successful sale had beenreduced to a begging affair. Bad weather will stopany auction before it gets started, as will auction-eers who forgot the sale date, and cold-heartedbankers. You'd be surprised how bank lien noticesencourage prospective buyers to keep their handsin their pockets.

When the early-adopters first started trying toincorporate Internet bids into live auctions therewere many disgruntled auctioneers as a result ofthe slow bidding. No matter how long an auction-eer waited to sell out, the person watching the com-puter for Internet bids would always yip that he'dgot a bid about a microsecond after the auctioneerhad said, "Sold." The nerds and geeks invariablysaid this was because of a "slow server," whichmost auctioneers thought was a lazy waitress.

Other times the computer glitches that sloweddown sales were not the fault of IBM or Apple. Irecall one incident when an auctioneer on the blockgot so frustrated with the computer that he pickedit up and threw it into the sale ring. Which mighthave speeded up the sale if they didn't have toresell every animal because the computer con-tained the only reliable evidence of who boughtwhat earlier in the day.

Then there was the time a big mouthed blowhardhad bragged to everyone that he was going to give$100,000 for a herd bull prospect at an upcomingsale. He couldn't be at the sale so the sale manag-er got him on the phone on sale day and he bidright along to about $3,500, but suddenly the linewent dead. They spent half an hour trying to gethim on the phone again but for some reason hisline was always busy. Like maybe it had beentaken off the hook! Later the blowhard said thathe'd been prepared to give a quarter million for thebull that eventually brought $15,000. Yeah, right.

I've already written a column about the time that90% of the people at a certain big time Brangussale in Arizona got food poisoning from eating thebeans and spent the sale in the porta potties. Talkabout a speed bump! Those bad beans slowed thatsale down to the pace of a three legged turtle. Itmay sound funny now but believe this bean eater...it wasn't very funny at the time.

Of course, nothing will stop a sale before it getsgoing like a bad market or an inferior product.Combine the two and you have what we in the busi-ness call a "wreck." We were trying to sell a breedthat was colder than Anchorage in January, whenone of the bulls broke out of the sale ring. People onthe front rows got so scared they ran to the top ofthe bleachers, which caused them to fall over back-wards. It didn't help when half the crowd left thesale pavilion to go watch a couple idiots, who didn'thave the brains of a dead battery, try to rope theescaped bull from the back of a pickup, first on thefairgrounds and later on the Interstate. Then thefella whose cattle we were trying to sell had a mildheart attack and had to be hauled away in anambulance. Evidently he needed the proceeds fromthe sale because as he was being loaded into themeat wagon he loudly encouraged everyone to, "Bidem up high, boys."

You can't say we didn't try. After we finally gotrestarted the next ten bulls that came into the ringnever got a bid. Then the auctioneer said that ifanyone in the crowd had a bull they wanted to buyto please raise their hand and we'd bring thatscamp into the sale ring and then we'd have anauction. Not a single hand was raised!

That's usually a pretty good momentum stopperright there!

Walters said the South Platte River from whereit joins with the North Platte River west to theDeuel County line also will be sprayed.

He hopes spraying will be completed by Oct 1. Itmust end after the first killing frost.

Walters said Paulsen Habitat Services of Cozadhas had an airboat in the river between Elm Creekand Hershey to do touch-up spraying on areastreated in 2008. Some previously treated areas willbe disked this year, he added, including sites nearLexington, Overton and Elm Creek.

"Our hope this year is that the massive applica-tion (of herbicide) will get done, and next year we'lldo all the removal" of dead vegetation, Walterssaid.

Removal will be by mechanical means. Kincaidand Walters said they'd like to use some controlledburns along the river, but that would be "too scary."

They estimated that more than 90 percent of theinvasives in and along the river in the WestCentral and Platte River WMAs will have beensprayed by the end of 2009. "There will be certain

stretches you can't get to because of the overstoryof trees," Kincaid said, and it always will be diffi-cult to manage weeds in floodplains and along sea-sonal channels.

"Ultimately, it (control) will be turned over tolandowners with cooperation of the WMA," Walterssaid.

WMA officials will monitor the main channelsannually, but they need landowners to be vigilantin spotting, reporting and treating early growth ofinvasives. "That's part of the buy in," Kincaid said."We can get the big acres."

Walters said there will be meetings in 2011 toinform landowners about cost-share programs totreat invasives and/or restore areas to grazing orwildlife habitat. By then, the WMA will have com-pleted grant-required best management practicesguidelines to help landowners with long-term weedmanagement.

"Will the project ever be done?" Kincaid asked. Answering his own question, he said current

projects can bring quick improvement in the river'sability to convey water, but long-term maintenancewill be required.

Rail Fest in needof volunteersBy DIANE WETZELThe North Platte Telegraph

As Rail Fest grows, so does the need for volunteers.Co-hosted by the Original Town Association and NebraskaLandNational Bank, the annual event showcases North Platte’s rich railroadpast and present and the value of the Union Pacific Railroad’s presencein the community.

It is also growing in scope, said OTA chairman Dave Harrold. “As it grows, so do the requirements for volunteers,” Harrold said. Harrold said the senior volunteer program RSVP has been a terrificpartner with Rail Fest.

“They are a community resource you just can’t duplicate,” he said.“RSVP will be right there. That’s the thing about them. They are justright there.”Volunteers are needed in the following areas:

• Tour guides: Taking bus loads of visitors on a tour of Bailey Yard. Apre-written script on the history and attractions of North Platte will beprovided.

• Traffic control and parking: “Unsung heroes of any event are thosebehind the scenes who keep everything running smoothly,” said MurielClark of the North Platte/Lincoln County Convention and VisitorsBureau, which is coordinating volunteers for Rail Fest.

• Union Pacific Railroad Family Picnic: Bailey Yard SuperintendentChad Wilbourne is making a conscious effort to ensure that Saturday,Sept. 19, is truly a family day for past and present employees of the U.P.,Harrold said. Volunteers will help serve food as a way to show appreci-ation for the more than 3,000 retirees and employees in North Platte.

• Kids activities, Wellness Program, Music Pavilion, InformationBooth and Merchandize Booth.

• Litter patrol: As part of its mission to be eco-friendly, Rail Festencourages recycling. Volunteers will let visitors know about recyclereceptacles in Cody Park, picking up litter, and carrying trash bags to acentral location.

• Set up and tear down: Volunteers are needed Thursday afternoon,Sept. 17, Friday morning, Sept. 18, and Sunday afternoon, Sept. 20, toprepare Cody Park for Rail Fest and return the park to its original statefollowing the event.

Needing more volunteers is a “pleasant burden,” Harrold said. “Itmeans we are growing,” he said.

To volunteer, contact Clark at the CVB, (308) 532-4726, ormclark(at)visitnorthplatte.com, or contact Diana Andersen at the Do-ItCenter, (308) 534-3648.

after-tax income. That makes it 25percent or 30 percent more expensivethan everybody else.”

And, according to Johnson, the sky-rocketing cost of health care and theenormous individual debt it createsfor families both with and withouthealth insurance have become “thenumber one cause of bankruptcy inAmerica.”

Because of the emotional content ofthe climate change debate, Johnsonsaid, there has been a lot of “fearmongering.”

“Right now the fear mongering iswinning, but I firmly believe in theend that the science is going to win,”he said. “You can be naysayers andnot believe the science, but eventual-ly that is going to overtake that. Youcan be out there saying that this isthe worst piece of legislation everand prefer the EPA (EnvironmentalProtection Agency) come out and reg-ulate this under the U.S. SupremeCourt ruling.”

An earlier decision had the U.S.Supreme Court mandating that it’sthe EPA’s responsibility to addressclimate change under the nation’sclean air law.

“When farmers come to under-stand that, a lot of that tide willswitch back,” Johnson said.

He said NFU supports cap-and-trade legislation and would preferCongress approve climate changelegislation rather than allowing theEPA to regulate greenhouse gasemissions.

He said that in the coming weeks,the EPA is poised to determinegreenhouse gases to be a threat topublic health and thereby potential-ly trigger its regulatory authorityunder the Clean Air Act. The Obamaadministration has been steadfast in

calling upon Congress to addressgreenhouse gas emissions, ratherthan leaving it to the EPA.

Johnson points to an economicanalysis conducted by the U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA)that demonstrates a significant eco-nomic benefit for farmers and ranch-ers via climate change legislation’soffset opportunities. Annual netreturns to farmers range fromapproximately $1 billion per year in2015-2020 to nearly $15 billion to$20 billion in 2040-2050. These eco-nomic opportunities would not existunder a purely regulatory scheme.

“You have a lot of people who areworried,” Johnson said. “Change isnot easily embraced, especially whenit’s coming with all of these negativeconnotations.”

According to Hansen of NebraskaFarmers Union, “It’s easy to scarefolks about cap and trade, but whenthey sober up and say, ‘Let me getthis straight, it’s going to be EPA orcap and trade.’ Then it’s a very dif-ferent answer than if it’s just capand trade or do nothing.”

Hansen said having the EPA begina regulatory process to address cli-mate change would be a “worst-casescenario.”

Some “Junkers” have survived all five previousjaunts and are planning to come back for morewhile others are planning their very first JunkJaunt©.

Fun lovers, bargain hunters, collectors or adven-ture seekers, seasoned veterans or novices are allinvited to take part in the 6th annual Nebraska’sJunk Jaunt©, scheduled for Sept 25-27, 2009.

Thirty towns in north-central Nebraska are

planning city-wide garage sales during the samethree days (Sept. 25-27), plus some sales at farmsand ranches between towns. The route between allthirty towns follows two of Nebraska’s most scenichighways (11, 91, 2) and covers over 300 miles of“Shop ‘til you drop” fun.

In 2008, shoppers and buyers from 34 states and70 of Nebraska’s 93 counties were documented,according to Peggy Haskell, the Junk Jaunt’s vol-unteer coordinator. All indications point towardJunk Jaunt© 2009 being bigger and better thanlast year.

Event organizers have compiled a 112 pageShopper Guide to aid survivors and newcomers intheir search for that “special treasure.”

This printed guide has a map of each of the 30participating towns, a listing of over 400 vendors(sales) and some of the items that can be found ateach sale.

Until Sept 15th, a mail order copy of this shop-per guide can be purchased online using PayPal oryour credit card or by sending $7.00 to Junk Jaunt,P.O. Box 21, Burwell, NE 68823. After the Sept15th deadline, the shopper guide will be availablein each participating Junk Jaunt© town, in a fewselected sites outside the area or through the web-site www.junkjaunt.com.

One couple described the Junk Jaunt© as “thebest vacation we’ve had in years,” while anotherlady calls it “a three-day shopping marathon.”

Junkers will find anything from antique saddlesto machinery, semi trucks and farm tractors toBarbie dolls, sauerkraut and dumplings toNebraska steaks, model trains to old windows andmuch, much more.

No proof of shopping experience or “garage saleDNA” is required to be a part of this Junk Jaunt©reunion.

Some towns will have Junk Jaunt© souvenirs forsale or free Junk Jaunt Survivor bumper stickers.www.junkjaunt.com can answer most of your ques-tions but information can also be obtained by call-ing 308-346-4815 .

See you at the Junk Jaunt© Survivors Reunion,September 25-27, 2009.

Junk Jaunt© survivors to hold reunion

Goss’s Wilt expanding in the stateTamra JacksonExtension Plant Pathologist andAmy ZiemsUNL Plant & Pest Diagnostic Clinic

As of August 21, Goss’s bacterialwilt and blight of corn has been con-firmed in 24 counties (see map)stretching from eastern to westernNebraska. The gram-positive bacteri-al causal agent of the disease,Clavibacter michiganensis subsp.nebraskensis, was confirmed insymptomatic samples submitted tothe UNL Plant and Pest DiagnosticClinic.

For the past four to five years, thedisease has been a serious problem inwestern Nebraska, eastern Coloradoand Wyoming, reappearing afteralmost two decades of its near disap-pearance. In this tri-state region ithas become the most severe diseaseproblem in corn. Last year was the

first time the disease was confirmedin Nebraska counties statewide inapproximately two decades. In addi-tion, the disease developed in otherMidwest states, including SouthDakota, Iowa, Illinois, and for thefirst time, Indiana.

Goss’s wilt is likely much morewidespread than the 2009 map ofNebraska counties indicates. Forexample, many of those countieswhere the disease has been con-firmed this year are not the sameNebraska counties where the diseasewas confirmed in 2008. One possibleexplanation is that disease develop-ment is consistent with parts of thestate that received the most severeweather earlier in the season, espe-cially hail, high wind, and sandblast-ing that created the wounds neces-sary for infection. Since bacteriadon’t blow long distances by wind,the bacteria were already present atthe time of wounding. Disease maydevelop in other areas, but at a less-er incidence and severity and gounnoticed. In addition, as more peo-ple become familiar with the appear-ance of the disease symptoms, fewerare submitting samples for diagnosis

to the UNL Plant and PestDiagnostic Clinic, so the map maynot be representative of all countieswith the disease. Goss’s wilt is likelypresent in many counties not indicat-ed on the map. We recommend thatproducers, consultants, etc., continueto monitor for this and other dis-eases.

Symptoms The disease may become systemic

and kill entire plants in severe cases,as is occurring in parts of westernNebraska. This results in the mostsevere yield losses. The stalks of sys-temically infected plants may be cutinto cross-sections or longitudinallyto observe internal discoloration evi-dent of systemic movement of thebacteria. Otherwise, it is most com-mon to observe the foliar blightphase of the disease, which has beenseen in eastern Nebraska morerecently.

Disease symptoms are becomingmore evident now as they increase inseverity and larger portions of theleaves begin to blight and die in moresevere cases. Although the leaf blightlesions may appear similar to some

other diseases, there are two diag-nostic features that may be used todifferentiate them from other dis-eases. Specifically, this is the onlyknown disease to cause “freckling” ordark green to black discontinuouswater-soaked spots near the expand-ing edges of the lesions. These “freck-les” may be accompanied by secretionof bacterial exudate or “ooze” on theleaf surface giving it a glossy appear-ance. Lesions may continue toexpand and blight entire leaves.

Management Unfortunately, since this disease is

caused by bacteria, it cannot be con-trolled with foliar fungicides, whichhave been much more widely used inNebraska during the past two yearsfor control of foliar diseases causedby fungi. And, the pathogen overwin-ters very well in infected crop residuethat is not broken down. As a result,if you have had the disease in a fieldin the past, it is likely to developagain under the right conditions.

Crop rotation, tillage of debris topromote breakdown (when practical),and use of resistant hybrids havebeen the most effective means of con-trolling this disease. Differences inyield between susceptible and resist-ant hybrids with the leaf blightphase of the disease have reportedlybeen as high as 65 bushels per acrein southwest Nebraska in recentyears. With fall approaching, thetime is right to start thinking aboutselection of resistant corn hybrids toplant in fields with a history of Goss’sbacterial wilt and blight, particularlyin high risk fields, such as continu-ous corn and/or conservation tillagesystems where crop residue is main-tained.

Plants in the systemic wilt phase of Goss’sbacterial wilt and blight may experiencepremature death and collapse.

Counties where Goss’s bacterial wilt and leaf blight has been confirmed by the UNLPlant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic.

The Power Take Off (PTO) shaft is an efficientmeans of transferring mechanical power betweenfarm tractors and implements. It is also one of theoldest and most persistent hazards associated withfarm machinery.

Typical injuries resulting from getting caught inan open power take-off shaft are amputations,severe lacerations, multiple fractures, spine andneck injuries or complete body destruction. Brokenarms, broken legs and severe facial lacerations arecommon. Spine and neck injuries are common if aperson is rotated around the shaft.

All it may take for a person to become entangledin an open power take-off shaft is one singlethread, string from a hooded parka or strand ofloose hair. As the items begin to wrap extremelyfast around the power take-off shaft they pull thevictim directly into the PTO unit.

The following parts of the PTO have been foundto be hazardous:

Power Take-Off (PTO) Stub: Most incidentsinvolving PTO stubs stem from clothing caught byan engaged but unguarded PTO stub.

The reasons a PTO stub may be left engagedinclude:

The operator forgetting or otherwise not beingaware the PTO clutch is engaged. Seeing the PTOstub spinning but not considering it dangerousenough to disengage or, where the operator isinvolved in a work activity requiring PTO opera-tion.

Bootlaces, pant legs, coveralls, sweatshirts, andwindbreakers are clothing items that can becomecaught and wrapped around a spinning PTO stubshaft.

The PTO driveline hazard This drive shaft isknown as the implement input driveline (IID). Theentire IID shaft is a wrapping point hazard if it iscompletely unshielded.

If the IID shaft is partly guarded, the shielding isusually over the straight part of the shaft, leavingthe universal joints, the PTO connection (the frontconnector), and the Implement Input Connection(IIC, the rear connector) as the wrapping point haz-ards.

The machine IID shaft is coupled to the tractorPTO stub. At recommended or slower speeds cloth-ing is pulled around the IID shaft much quickerthan a person can pull back or take evasive action.Once wrapping begins, the person instinctivelytries to pull away. This action simply results in atighter, more binding wrap.

If an IID shaft is coupled to the tractor PTO stubbut no other hitch is made between the tractor andthe machine, then the tractor may pull the IIDshaft apart. If the PTO is engaged, the shaft on thetractor end will swing wildly and may strike any-one in range. The swinging force may break a lock-ing pin allowing the shaft to become a flying mis-sile, or it may strike and break something that isattached or mounted on the rear of the tractor.

Separation of the driveline shaft is not a common-ly occurring event. It is most likely to happen whenthree-point hitched equipment is improperlymounted or aligned, or when the hitch between thetractor and the attached machine breaks or acci-dentally uncouples.

Protruding pins and bolts used as connectionlocking devices are particularly adept at snaggingclothing. If clothing doesn't tear or rip away, as itsometimes does for the fortunate, a person’s limb orbody may begin to wrap with the clothing. Evenwhen wrapping doesn't occur, the affected part maybecome compressed so tightly by the clothing andshaft that the person is trapped against the shaft.

Other unsafe practices include mounting, dis-mounting, reaching for control levers from the rearof the tractor, and stepping across the shaft insteadof walking around the machinery. An extra riderwhile PTO powered machinery is operating isanother exposure situation.

SHIELDING THE TRACTORMaster Shield: The first shield in the PTO drive-

line is the master shield on the rear of the tractor.This shield prevents the operator from accidentallycoming into contact with the tractor stub shaft andthe front universal joint of the equipment’s drive-line. Operators should make it a practice to replacethe tractor PTO shaft guard, which completely cov-ers the tractor stub shaft, when the PTO is not inuse.SHIELDING PTO-OPERATED EQUIPMENT

Fully Shielded Driveline: This type of drivelineshielding encases the shaft in a plastic or metal cas-ing supported by bearings at each end of the shaft.The bearings allow the shield to stop spinning ifsomeone or something comes into contact with thedriveline, while the shaft inside continues to spin.

The ends of the driveline shield are bell-shapedto cover the universal joints of the shaft. Becauseuniversal joints are irregularly shaped and proneto grab objects, operators should never modify thebell-shaped shield to make maintenance, greasingparts or connecting the shaft easier.

Guards: Manufacturer installed guards must bereplaced when removed for maintenance. Theseguards are designed to protect the operator andequipment. Guards not only reduce the risk of aninjury; they also keep dust and other foreignobjects from damaging gears and other movingparts.

MAINTENANCELike any moving part, the driveline shield must

be maintained to ensure proper operation.PTO equipment is frequently operated in

inclement weather and exposed to dust, chaff andother foreign materials, which can quickly damagethe bearings that allow the shaft to spin freelyinside the shield.

Rust, dirt and crop debris must be cleaned fre-quently to allow the bearings to spin freely. Replaceany damaged or worn shields with the manufactur-er’s recommended parts. Storing equipment insidewill also help extend the lifetime of the equipment

Power Take Off Safety

A G F A C T SAgriculture ranks

among the most haz-ardous industries.Farmers are at very highrisk for fatal and nonfa-tal injuries.

Farming is one of thefew industries in whichthe families (who oftenshare the work and liveon the premises) are alsoat risk for fatal and non-fatal injuries.

and reduce maintenance costs. Manynewer machines have a bracketattached to keep the driveline off theground, thus preventing dirt andother materials from damaging it.

POSITIONING THE DRAW-BAR TO THE PTO SHAFT

The length and height of a tractordrawbar may need to be adjusted tomatch the implement to the manufac-turer’s specifications. It is importantto make these adjustments to ensurethat the PTO driveline does not com-press or separate during operation.

To make this adjustment, check theimplement manufacturer’s recommen-dations and adjust the height of thedrawbar and the distance from thePTO stub shaft to the center of thedrawbar hitch hole (see Figure 2).

Failure to match the drawbar to theimplement can result in the drivelinebeing compressed or separated whenthe tractor makes a sharp turn orcomes to the top or bottom of a hill.

Separation or compression frequentlydamages the protective shield to thepoint where it no longer slides togeth-er or allows the shaft to spin freelyinside the shield.

Most PTO-driven equipment hassome form of a shear pin to preventdamage to the shaft or gearbox.Always follow the manufacturer’s rec-ommendations for size and hardnesswhen replacing a damaged shear pinor bolt. Using a pin or bolt that islonger than necessary creates a poten-tial catch point that may snag theoperator’s bootlace or clothing, result-ing in a possible entanglement.

PTO SAFETY PRACTICESAlways disengage the PTO, shut off

the engine and remove the key beforegetting off the tractor. This protectsyou from accidental entanglementwhile servicing the equipment andensures that no one else can start thetractor during maintenance proce-dures.

Keep the master shield in place atall times. The master shield should beremoved only when required for hook-ing up special equipment with equiva-lent shielding. Replace the PTO trac-tor stub shaft guard whenever PTOdriven equipment is not being used.

Check that the PTO drivelineshields are in good condition. With thePTO stopped, test driveline guards byspinning or rotating them to ensurethey have not become stuck to theshaft the shield should rotate freelyby hand. Make any necessary repairsto damaged bearings or shields.

Never modify driveline shields tomake servicing or connections easier.Cutting or drilling a hole in the shieldallows dirt; chaff or other foreignmaterials access to shaft bearings.This reduces the life of the shield andalso increases the risk of the operatorgetting clothing caught in the spin-ning shaft. Always use the drivelinerecommended for your machine.Never switch drivelines among differ-

ent machines.Never step across a rotating PTO

driveline. Always take the time towalk around a rotating shaft.Although the shaft may be enclosed insafety shields and guards, there is achance that clothing could be caughtin the spinning shafts.

Reduce PTO shaft abuse by observ-ing the following: avoid tight turnsthat pinch rotating shafts between thetractor and machine; keep excessivetelescoping to a minimum; engagepower to the shaft gradually; andavoid over tightening of slip clutcheson PTO-driven machines.

Wear snug fitting clothing. Bulky,loose fitting clothing can quickly becaught in a spinning shaft, entanglingan unsuspecting operator. Boots orshoes without laces are preferredbecause laces may become entangledin the shaft.

Over the next two weeks temperatures areexpected to be near average across Nebraska, withthe western third of the state having the greatestlikelihood of experiencing above normal tempera-tures.

Even with normal temperatures, models indicatetemperatures will fluctuate between below normaland above normal every three to five days.Therefore, it is unlikely that crops across the statewill cut into the growing season deficits alreadyaccumulated.

Freeze RiskWith the planting delay issues common across

the eastern Corn Belt this spring and record coldJuly temperatures, the fall freeze damage riskremains elevated. Using state agricultural statis-tics information and production estimates, approx-imately 1.2 billion of the projected 13.8 billionbushel corn crop has an above average freeze risk.

The states at greatest risk are North Dakota,South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, andMichigan.

It will take normal to above normal tempera-tures and a hard freeze at least two weeks laterthan normal for these areas to escape significant

damage. The situation this year is similar to lastyear and it took one of the latest freezes on recordfor much of the Corn Belt to escape damage.

Even with delayed crops, Nebraska’s risk of anearly hard freeze stands at less than 20%.

With El Nino conditions strengthening in theequatorial Pacific, the probability of a later thannormal hard freeze for Nebraska is likely if statis-tics hold true.

Since 1950, there have been seven El Ninoevents that formed in the same year that a LaNina event dissipated. The years were 1951, 1957,1963, 1965, 1968, 1972, and 1976.

Welcome moisture finally fell across much ofNebraska August 14-16, helping alleviate moisturestress, particularly in areas of south central, cen-tral, and east central Nebraska. As producers enterthe final stretch of the 2009 production season, it istime to look at some of the climatic issues thatcould still have an impact on yields.

PrecipitationPrior to the mid August precipitation, much of

eastern Nebraska had been upgraded to abnormal-ly dry conditions by the U.S. Drought Monitor.Within this area, moderate drought conditionswere assigned to much of Thayer, Nuckols,Filmore, Saline, York, Seward, and Lancaster coun-ties.

With 3-5 inches of rain reported during the three-day period, most areas north of I-80 were returnedto normal conditions. Abnormally dry and moder-ate drought conditions still remain south of I-80.

Although there are pockets of dryness acrosswestern Nebraska, most locations have receivedenough moisture to put drought concerns on theback shelf. In fact, generous moisture events haveresulted in normal to above normal streamflowrates on the Platte and Republican rivers theentire growing season.

Although the recent rainfall should temporarilyhalt crop stress, additional moisture will be neededto maximize production potential, especially inareas that have exhibited stress during the past 30days.

For the next two weeks, weather models indicatethat precipitation is expected to below normal,with the best moisture chances falling prior to thestart of September.

TemperaturesAlthough producers were able to get crops plant-

ed in a timely fashion, an unusually cold Julyresulted in crops falling 7-10 days behind normal.The statewide July preliminary average tempera-ture of 71.1°F is currently ranked 6th coldest since1895 and the coldest since 1992, which was thecoldest July on record.

An area from the Dakota’s eastward through theOhio Valley experienced its coldest July on recordand crops are running two to three weeks behindnormal.

Initially, the celebra-tion was namedGerman Heritage Daysbecause of the domi-nance of Germandescent in the area.However, as the yearspassed, it became evi-dent that the citizenswanted to encompass allkinds of heritage, thusthe name was shortenedto merely HeritageDays. Following theSaturday morningparade, the tantalizingaroma of ethnic foodsdrifts through the air asyou stroll through theArts & Crafts Fair ortake a break to be enter-tained by both musicand dance featured inthe historic bandshell.Most of the events arecentered in Norris Park,in the heart of the com-munity, but you willalso discover otheropportunities “on thebricks” in downtownMcCook. Added to thisyear’s schedule is a bar-beque competition, aswell as, a barbeque feedopen to the public.

Nebraska data indicates that five of these yearsexperienced a hard freeze 7-17 days later than nor-mal, with the remaining two years having a hardfreeze 7-14 days earlier than normal. The averagehard freeze data ranges from the first week ofOctober in northwest Nebraska to the third weekof October in southeast Nebraska.

Reservoir LevelsLake McConaughy has benefited from the gener-

ous moisture pattern established since May acrosswestern Nebraska. Even though the central RockyMountain snowpack was below normal during the2008-09 winter, heavy spring rains supplementedstreamflow rates on both branches of the PlatteRiver in May and June.

Lake McConaughy peaked at 940,000 acre-feet,even with the release of 90,000 acre-feet from theEnvironmental Trust account.

Heavy streamflow rates on the southern branchof the Platte were diverted into the irrigationcanals during May and early June, replacing waterthat would have been diverted out of LakeMcConaughy.

August 18 storage levels stood at 880,000 acre-feet (50.4% of capacity), about 60,000 acre-feetlower than its May peak elevation. McConaughy is300,000 acre-feet higher than this time last year.

As long as above normal temperatures and belownormal moisture don’t return to western Nebraskain the next month, McConaughy should remainabove 800,000 acre-feet of storage.

LEFT: The Climate Prediction Center's 90-day outlook shows Nebraska having equal chances of above normal, nor-mal, or below normal temperatures in September. RIGHT: The Climate Prediction Center's 90-day outlook showsNebraska with above normal chances for precipitation in western Nebraska and equal chances of above normal,normal, or below normal precipitation for the eastern half of the state in September.

The 30-day forecast issued for September by theClimate Prediction Center indicates equal chancesfor above normal, normal, or below normal tempera-tures and precipitation. The 90-day forecast forSeptember through November indicates a tendencytoward above normal moisture for the western half ofNebraska and equal chances of above normal, nor-mal, or below normal precipitation for easternNebraska. The 90-day forecast for temperature pro-jectss equal chances in all three categories for theentire state.

Looking at conditions in past years when La Ninatransitioned to El Nino, some distinct trends materi-alize. The strongest trends occur across the westernthird of Nebraska, with precipitation consistentlyrunning below normal during the October throughFebruary period. October temperatures were consis-tently above normal. The remaining months fromSeptember through April had no dominant trend. Ifwe have a similar below normal precipitation trend,then snowpack feeding the Platte River basin is like-ly to below normal heading into the 2010 runoff sea-son.

In these years the central third of the state experi-enced below normal September temperatures andabove normal October temperatures. Precipitationwas above normal during September and February,with below normal conditions during the Novemberthrough January period. The remaining months indi-cated no defined precipitation or temperature trend.

The eastern third of the state had a below normaltemperature trend during the November throughDecember period, with an above normal trend inFebruary. November and March had below normalprecipitation trends, while January and April hadabove normal precipitation.

Generally, car owners are aware of the need tochange their vehicle’s oil and filter every 3,000miles or as frequently as the manufacturer sug-gests; that’s been the rule of thumb for years.However, many have forgotten the other half of therule — change your oil and filter every threemonths or 3,000 miles! Those words have taken oncritical new importance as the spike in gas priceshas resulted in motorists driving less than the tra-ditional thousand miles a month.

What Time Has To Do With ItSo, what does time have to do with the need for

changing your oil and filter?“More than you might think it does,” said Ramon

Nunez, Director of Filtration for Bosch, joint ven-ture owner of Purolator Filters, a leading supplierof filters to the automotive aftermarket. Purolatorinvented the first automotive oil filter in 1923, andthe first “spin-on” oil filter in 1955.

According to Nunez, time takes its toll on the lifeof engine oil, and infrequent driving can actuallybe oil’s enemy.

“Combustion gases enter the crankcase and con-taminate the engine oil with raw fuel, burned com-bustion gases, and tiny particulates, all of whichcompromise the composition of the oil,” he said.“The raw fuel and exhaust gases can interactchemically with the oil, leading to formation ofdamaging acids. Furthermore, seasonal changesmay result in moisture in the air condensing intowater in the crankcase. This dilutes the oil andcontributes to the formation of rust, corrosion, andsludge.

“Shorter trips don’t give the engine a chance towarm up fully and burn off the raw fuel, condensa-tion and other materials that can collect in the oil.Usually, these liquids and vapors are burned awayharmlessly in long turnpike-type driving, which isnow more the exception than the rule.”

Some motor oils are marketed as ‘extended life’lubricants, with suggested oil change intervals ofas much as 25,000 miles or more. And though thechemistry of these oils may well perform the job forthat long a period of time, grit and other particu-lates continue to accumulate in increasing andpotentially damaging quantities unless they’reflushed away during an oil change.

“Our PureOne premium oil filter can capture upto 13 grams of microscopic contaminants, includ-ing dirt and metal shavings — the equivalent of 31standard-size paper clips,” said Nunez. “If the oiland filter are not changed in a timely fashion andthe filter becomes clogged, the bypass valve (asafety valve built into quality oil filters) will allowgritty, unfiltered oil into critical areas of theengine where it can cause catastrophic damage.

The Cheapest Insurance You Can Buy“In these tough economic times, when people are

holding onto their cars longer, it’s even moreimportant to protect the engine so it provides thelongest and most reliable service possible,” Nunez.“Changing your oil and filter every three monthsor 3,000 miles is the cheapest insurance you canbuy.”

The Car Care Council, a consumer group, warnsdrivers, that if your driving is ‘severe’ — frequentshort trips, driving in stop-and-go traffic, idling forextended periods of time, driving where the air isdusty or dirty, living in a cold region or towing atrailer, it’s better to always stick to the threemonths or 3,000 miles schedule.

If you drive infrequently, you should follow the 3-monthrule for changing your oil and filter rather than waitinguntil you’ve driven 3,000 miles.

How to Choosean auto shop

Today's vehicles may not quite be the spaceshuttle, but they are far removed from the dayswhen that little clicking sound can be diagnosedand fixed by any shade-tree mechanic.

That means one of the best ideas for vehiclemaintenance and repair is to find a qualifiedshop to first prevent problems, and should oneoccur to be able to find it efficiently and then fixit.

HERE ARE SOME GOOD IDEAS OFWHAT TO DO:

What should you look for when choosing arepair shop?

• Look for an auto repair shop before you needone.

• Avoid being rushed into last minute deci-sions.

• State or local law may require the repairshop to be licensed or registered, and you shouldask to see current licenses. Also, ask your stateattorney general’s office or local consumer pro-tection agency about the repair shop’s complaintrecord.

• Be sure the repair shop is capable of per-forming the repairs needed.

• Find a repair shop that honors your vehicle’swarranty.

• Shop around among comparable shops forthe best deal.

FINDING THE RIGHT TECHNICIAN

Look for shops that display various certifica-tions like an Automotive Service Excellenceseal. Certifications indicate that some or all ofthe technicians have met basic standards ofknowledge and competence in specific technicalareas.

Make sure the certifications were recentlyobtained. Remember, however, that certificationalone is not an absolute guarantee of good orhonest work.


Wheat trade has finally seen a lightbounce following several weeks of a lowergrinding market. The bounce in the rowcrops coupled with a lower dollar havehelped wheat find a short term bottom.The jury is still out in regard to howshort term this bottom may be.

Soybean trade has bounced back thisweek due to firm basis levels across thecountry and some yield concerns. Theyield concerns are keeping weather pre-mium in the market.

The weekly September closes were$1.13 higher in the beans, meal was $54higher and soybean oil was 26 lower.The Pro Farmer tour estimate, seen justover a week ago, was supportive at a 41national yield giving a 3.15 billion bushelcrop.

Weather over the next month will bethe ultimate item that will determine ifour yield is between 40.5-41 on the lowside, or without a major frost issuearound 42.5-43 bushel per acre.

The crop is improving, but behind nor-mal maturity, so there is a change for areally good yield, but also that the cropmay have a chance to complete maturity.Right now we should guess that the coolsummer could lead to an early to at leastnormal first frost.

The crop ratings were better Mondayafternoon which pressured trade. Thecrop ratings were 3% higher than theprevious week at 69% good to excellent.The crop progress listed 85% of the cropsetting pods versus the 92% 5-year aver-age.

The ratings were negative, but thesolid nearby basis levels are supportivewhich supported the bull spreads. Thenew crop weekly export soybean saleswere a very large 1.922 million tons ofnew crop and old crop sales were at 87.9

thousand tons; combined they wereabove expectations.

A bigger number was expected. Mealsales were at 68,400 tons of old crop and99,600 tons of new crop, these were justabove the range of expectations. Bean oilsales came in at 400 tons of old crop and3,700 tons of new, which were belowexpectations.

On the November chart the $10-$10.03area is important with the 20-day at$10.03, a close above here would be posi-tive, but a close for the week negative.

So it appears we should expect somechart pressure early next week if there isno change in the forecasts to set a differ-ent tone. The outside markets are sup-portive in the big picture, but may haveturned their momentum to a negativeinfluence on commodities.

The following information appearson a feed tag of a protein supplement.Because the feed is a protein supple-ment, the name on the tag usuallyindicates the percentage protein thatthe supplement contains. As anexample, let’s evaluate the feed tag ofa medicated protein supplementcalled Protein Gem Fortifier 32-10B70.

The 32-10 indicates that this sup-plement is a 32% protein supplementand that 10% comes from a non-pro-tein nitrogen source; therefore 22%coming from an all “natural” proteinsource (see the example below). Theguaranteed analysis will indicatethat this feed has a “Min.” (mini-mum) of 32% crude protein.

As an example from a feed tag: Crude Protein (not less than) 32% Protein Equivalent from NPN (not

more than) -10% Amount of Natural Protein 22% You can determine the proportion

of the protein in a supplement that issupplied by the NPN source(s) bydividing the percentage of proteinequivalent from non-protein nitrogenby 2.81 if the NPN source is urea.Urea is 281% crude protein equiva-lents, so the decimal of 281% is 2.81(move the decimal two places to theleft to convert a percentage to a deci-mal). The above feed tag is 10% NPNand, again, let’s assume that theNPN source is urea, so 10%/2.81 =3.55%; therefore is supplement is3.6% urea.

To determine the amount of urea

that is being supplied, simply multi-ply the percentage by the pounds fed.In this case, if the supplement isbeing fed at 1 lb/hd/da x 0.036 = 0.036lb/hd/day urea. When supplementingcows protein in range conditionswhen it is warranted, the supplementshould contain only small amounts ofurea.

The most common NPN source incattle feeds is urea. Urea is not pro-tein, but provides a nitrogen sourceso that the rumen microbes can maketheir own protein. There are enzymesin the rumen that allows the nitrogensource to be cleaved away from theurea and the microbes incorporatethe nitrogen with a carbohydratechain to make bacterial protein.

A component of all protein is nitro-gen. A question may be, do cattle usethe bacteria as a protein source? Theanswer is yes. The bacteria flow fromthe rumen to the small intestinewhere they are broken down bydigestive enzymes into amino acidsand the amino acids are absorbedacross the wall of the small intestine.In the research world, this is calledbacterial crude protein.

In many articles, we have dis-cussed the concepts of degradedintake protein (DIP) and undegradedintake protein (UIP). DIP is the pro-portion of the total crude protein in afeedstuff that is degraded in therumen. This fraction is used byrumen microbes to build their ownprotein and is later digested by theanimal in the small intestine.

This is the primary source of pro-tein for most ruminants. UIP in afeedstuff that is not degraded in the

rumen, but remains intact to bedigested by the animal in the smallintestine. UIP is commonly referredto as “by-pass” protein. If a proteinsource is 30% crude protein and 80%DIP, by subtraction, the UIP is 20%(100% - 80% = 20%; %DIP + %UIP =100%). Urea is 100% DIP.

The DIP and UIP content of a pro-tein supplement will not be on a feedtag. As a general rule, most of theprotein supplement will contain agreater amount of DIP as comparedto UIP. However, distillers grains isan excellent source of UIP and isused as an ingredient in protein sup-plements because it is 30% crude pro-tein.

So the DIP in protein supplementsthat contain distillers grains willcontain less DIP. But that is ok asthese by-product based cubes workwell as a supplement. A cube or pelletwill not be 100% distillers. Distillersgrains are high in fat and fat is diffi-cult to cube or pellet. In most cases, adistillers based cube will not begreater than 2/3 of the ingredients ina protein cube.

Continuing on with the proteinconcept, a producer is considering a32% protein supplement, this produc-er has cows grazing dormant rangeand has determine that there is plen-ty of forage, and cows are deficient inprotein. If the cows are in mid-gesta-tion, how much of a 32% protein sup-plement does the producer need tofeed? Usually a dormant forage isless than 7 percent crude protein(dormant pasture and crop residuewill often be 3-6 percent crude pro-tein), the rumen bacteria are being

“starved” for nitrogen, and will notbreak down the forage as efficientlyas possible. By supplementing withprotein source, the bacteria will do amore effective job of breaking downthe consumed forage and the animalwill get more out of the forage. Inaddition, as digestion of the forageimproves, cows will consume moreforage and, in this scenario, the sup-plemented cows will also get moreenergy from the diet.

As an example, 1200 pound cowgrazing unsupplemented dormantsandhill range in NE will consumeabout 1.8% of her body weight on adry matter basis or about 22 lb ofrange daily. If the forage is 5.5%crude protein and her proteinrequirement is 7% CP in the diet, sheis deficient. She needs to consume1.54 lb of protein daily and she is get-ting 1.21 lb daily; therefore deficient0.33 lb daily.

The pounds of supplement neededper head per day of the 32% proteincube is 1.03 lb/hd/da (.33 lb/.32 = 1.03lb). Supplements are about 90% drymatter, so the producer would deliver1.2 lb/hd/da on an as-fed basis (1.03lb/.90 = 1.146 lb).

The “B” on the feed tag mentionedat the beginning of this discussiondenotes that the feed contains theionophore Bovatec (Lasalocid) andthat the concentration of theionophore is 70 grams per ton of feed.The inclusion of the Lasalocid is thereason for the supplement be tagged“medicated”.

There is also information in regardto fat, fiber, and mineral and vitamincomponents of a feed tag.

• Personal ProtectiveEquipment appropriateto the work situationshould be worn. Thiscould include safetyglasses, gloves, longtrousers, steel-toedshoes or boots, shinguards and a hard hat.It is also important towear the properfootwear when aroundlivestock. Footwear thatsupplies the proper footsupport and protectionis essential. Forinstance, one misplacedhoof of a 1500-poundcow can easily break thebones of the human footencased in a pair of run-ning shoes.

• Wear rubber gloveswhen working with sickand injured animals aswell as other protectiveclothing for protection.Practice personalhygiene by washingyour hands and faceafter handling animals.


Live cattle futures finished poorly lastweek despite a positive move in the cashmarket. The weekly closes were $1.90lower on October, $1.05 lower onDecember and September feeders were$2.55 lower.

This was a poor past few days on thecharts which will likely lead to chart sell-ing in the week ahead.

The cash and cutout items are better,but the futures are pricing-in a rallywhich the market in not convinced willoccur.

The cutout finished lower on Fridaywith choice down 16 at 143.55 and selectdown 46 at 135.88.

One issue this summer has been theweather has been too good. This hasadded weight to the animals and beefproduction looking ahead is bigger than

what we would have normally expectedwith the numbers going through thepipeline.

Cash was $85 in the South and $133 inthe north this past week, so offeringprices will likely start way up at $87 and$136-7 in the week ahead.

On the Monthly Cattle on Feed reportseen just over a week ago, the placementnumber was at the high side estimate of113% and marketings were in line withexpectations at 95%.

This gave a 98% cattle on feed numberwhich was 1.4% higher than expected.

Hedgers call with questions.

Lean hog trade was mixed this pastweek with the upward chart momentumsubsiding. The weekly closes were 20higher on October, December was down87 and next June was down 15. Cashtrade has been chopping around in themid $40 area and there is a mixed picturewith packer margins improving, but theyhave serious questions about continuedgood demand with still high productionthe rest of the year.

In the week ahead we will likely testthe downside, but if cash can hold steadywe should not find new lows. In the bigpicture this year we had an early springhigh, the tendency with early seasonalhighs is to get an early fall low. Aprilhighs bring Sept lows but just a tendency.

We have not been faced with an eco-nomic situation of this magnitude. Thesupport line drawn off of the 1998 low onthe monthly chart was hit this week at43.60. The 40.00 area has only beenbreached in 95, 98, and 2002 over the last25 years. During those years it was backabove 40.00 within 3 months.

The cattle versus lean hog spread is toowide, when cattle approach 90 and hogs40 the $50 spread will bring some buyinginterest back into the hog market.Historically the $50 spread narrows veryquickly back to $30 or narrower. We willsee hogs trade the 40.00-50.00 range onthe weekly chart for 6 months or more,this has been a 30 year baseline area forthe hogs.

STEPS TO FREE APTO ACCIDENT VICTIM

Rescue procedures to remove a victim from thepower take-off shaft should start by shutting offthe tractor and making sure it will not re-start.Next, chock the tractor wheels so that the tractorcannot move. The critical time to remove a victimfrom the equipment may vary from only a few min-utes to several hours.

There are several methods that can be used toremove a victim from a PTO shaft:

PTO entanglements cause extensive damage totrapped limbs and sometimes require limb ampu-tation. Use caution if disengaging the PTO as itcan cause additional movement or injury to the vic-tim.

Place the power take-off drive unit in neutral andturn the PTO shaft counterclockwise to un-wrapthe person from the shaft. This may require usinga large pipe wrench or putting a small shaft or barinto the yoke of the Power Take-Off Unit and turn-ing with considerable pressure.

You may be able to disconnect the hitch pin thatattaches the trailing equipment to the tractor andmove the tractor forward to pull the PTO shaftapart.

After the PTO shaft separates into two parts, youwill have to turn the shaft counterclockwise toremove the victim. If the shaft is solid, the rescuersmay have to cut it with a cutting device such as aportable power grinder, hacksaw or oxyacetylenetorch. Under no circumstances should tractorpower be used to rotate the shaft.

If there are combustible materials in the area,rescuers should be extremely careful when usingany type of flame-producing equipment, or evenportable grinders that produce sparks.

If such equipment must be used, adequate fireequipment must be readily available in case a firestarts. If explosive products such as gasoline maybe have been spilled in the area, open flame mustbe ruled out. In this case, rescuers and observersshould be alert and not smoke in the area.

While the victim is being removed from thepower take-off shaft, other rescuers must providelife support to the victim and monitor his vitalsigns continuously. Cut away clothing, if necessary,to allow the victim to breathe easier.

15 Nebraska countieseligible for USDAEmergency Loans

LINCOLN - Farm Service Agency(FSA) State Executive Director, DanSteinkruger, announced today thatfamily farmers in three Nebraskacounties are eligible to apply for lowinterest Emergency (EM) loans dueto physical and production lossescaused by excessive rain, hail, highwinds, and flooding, that occurredon June 6, 2009 and continuing. Inaddition, with a qualifying loss, thisdesignation makes producers eligi-ble for the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE). Those coun-ties are:

Hayes, Perkins, and Valley. In addition, 12 Nebraska counties became eligible for this assistance

because they are contiguous to one or more of the primary Nebraska countiesthat were designated on August 25, 2009 by the Secretary of Agriculture.Those contiguous counties are:

Chase, Deuel, Frontier, Greeley, Keith, Sherman, Custer, Dundy, Garfield,Hitchcock, Lincoln, Wheeler

Emergency loan applications are available and must be submitted throughthe local FSA county office from any applicant who qualifies for a physical orproduction loss (at least a 30 percent reduction from normal) in a single enter-prise from this disaster in these counties.

To qualify for an EM loan, an applicant must be an established family farmoperator; provide evidence of having suffered a qualifying physical or produc-tion loss; be unable to obtain suitable credit from a source other than FSA.

The low interest loans may cover up to 100 percent of their actual produc-tion or physical losses, to a maximum amount of $500,000. The loan appli-cants must show ability to repay the loan and the loan must be adequatelysecured. FSA loans for production losses may be used to buy feed, seed, fertil-izer, livestock, or to refinance certain debts. FSA loans for physical losses maybe used to repair or replace the property that was damaged or lost.

The current interest rate for the EM loans is 3.75%. The deadline for sub-mitting applications is April 26, 2010.

In addition to the Emergency (EM) Loan Program, the FSA has other Directand Guaranteed Farm Operating and Farm Ownership Loan Programs,which can be considered in assisting farmers to recover from their losses.Additional information about FSA Farm Loan Programs is available atwww.fsa.usda.gov/dafl.
