Agreements to fund studies for aPlatte River wildlife habitatrestoration project and a proposedreservoir, both near Elm Creek,were approved Tuesday by thePlatte River RecoveryImplementation ProgramGovernance Committee.

The Central Platte NaturalResources District has hiredOlsson Associates of Grand Islandto continue engineering studies ona proposed reservoir northwest ofElm Creek.

Study topics include reservoirstorage, possible landowner effects,the potential to pump groundwaterinto the reservoir, use of the

Dawson County Canal to deliversurface water and how best todivert water from the reservoir tothe Platte River.

Original studies were done sever-al years ago after Elm Creek arearesidents sought the CPNRD's helpto solve flooding problems alongElm and Turkey creeks.

However, it was determined thata multipurpose reservoir also couldbe used to store water and retimereleases to the river to help theNRD and Platte program meetrequired streamflow enhancementsfor habitat used by threatened andendangered birds.

An agreement approved by theGovernance Committee Tuesday inKearney says Platte program funds

will reimburse the CPNRD fornearly all of the current studies'costs, up to $190,000.

The studies should be finishedlate this year. CPNRD GeneralManager Ron Bishop of GrandIsland said a public informationmeeting for Elm Creek-area resi-dents then will be scheduled.

Also being studied by programand Central Nebraska PublicPower and Irrigation District offi-cials is another re-regulation reser-voir on the south side of the river innorthwest Phelps County. Its watercould be transported in a CNPPIDirrigation canal.

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

Scattered frost/freezeconditions were report-ed across portions ofthe Panhandle on 9/7,but significant croplosses have not beenreported. Severe thun-derstorms rolled acrossportions of the statefrom 9/12-9/14, withsignificant crop/prop-erty losses reportedaround Mead, Ashland,Fairbury, and WestPoint. Hail ranged

from 1-2 inches and wind gusts approached 80mph with the thunderstorm that caused over 1.5million dollars at the Mead research station. Cornis rapidly approaching maturity at most locations.According to the Nebraska Ag Statistics Service,26 percent of the crop had reached maturity by9/12, an increase of 15% from the previous week.With normal temperatures during the upcomingtwo week period, it is expected that a minimum of75% of the corn crop will have reached maturity, a

full 2-3 weeks ahead of last years corn crop.Week One Forecast: 9/18-9/24: The upper air low

responsible for precipitation across the centraland northern Plains this past week will slowlymigrate toward the Great Lakes. Another upperair low will slowly build into the western U.S. dur-ing the upcoming week. Pieces of energy from thistrough are forecasted to lift toward the centralPlains bringing almost daily chances for moisture.As the upper air low over the northern Plainsshifts eastward, several waves of energy willrotate southeastward toward Nebraska and touchoff scattered showers and isolated thunderstormson 9/18 and 9/19. On 9/20, models forecast a pieceof energy ejecting out of the western U.S. trough,bringing a chance of showers to eastern Nebraskaas a warm front lifts northward from a developingsurface low in west central Nebraska. By 9/21 thelow will have moved east of the state and someearly morning showers are possible along thetrailing cold front. Another surface low will devel-op across eastern Colorado on 9/22 as anotherpiece of energy moves toward the central Plains.A few showers and isolated thunderstorms areprojected for eastern Nebraska on 9/22 and 9/23 as

the low slowly moves east-northeast. Models indi-cate a widespread moisture event for 9/24 as thelow tracks through the state. Heavy rain couldmaterialize from central through easternNebraska. Daily high temperatures will rangefrom the low to mid 70's on 9/18, warming into theupper 70's to low 80's on 9/19, and low to mid 80'son 9/20. With the passage of a cold front on 9/20,highs will drop back into the 70's on 9/21, warm-ing into the low80's on 9/22 and 9/23, with mid80's possible on 9/24.

Week Two Forecast: 9/25-10/1: The upper air lowand attendant surface low will pass east of thestate on 9/25, bringing an end to the precipitationduring the first half of the day. Weather modelsindicate that a broad upper air ridge will slowlybuild into the central Plains through the remain-der of the week, providing producers excellentharvest weather. Highs will range from the upper60's to mid 70's on 9/25, cooling into the mid 60'sto low 70's on 9/26. Temperatures will warm intothe upper 70's to low 80's west to mid 70's east on9/27.

According to the USDA My Pyramid & DietaryGuidelines, people should have at least six serv-ings per day of grains. People are beginning tolook at lesser known grains for some of thoseservings. One such grain is barley.

Barley has been in America since the 1600's.The colonists grew the grain in New England.Barley production moved to the central plains inthe mid-1800's, right along with the pioneers.Today, barley is grown primarily in the cold, drynorth central and northwestern United States.Barley is grown throughout the world.

In the United States, the majority of barley isgrown for animal feed. Barley is also used in beerproduction. Because of the increase focus onhuman consumption of grain products, barley isbeing used more and more in today’s meals.

Like other grains, barley must be cooked for liq-uid absorption. Using the conventional stove-topmethod, regular pearl barley requires about 45 to60 minutes cooking time. To decrease the cookingtime by half, use the microwave. Combine 3/4 cupregular pearl barley, 2 cups water, and 1/4 tea-spoon salt in a 2-quart glass container. Cover andmicrowave on HIGH 6 to 8 minutes or until mix-ture comes to a boil. Stir with fork. Cover andcontinue to cook on HIGH for 15 to 18 minutes oruntil most of the liquid is absorbed and barley istender. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes.Makes 3 cups barley.

One-half cup of cooked barley contains 88 calo-

ries. It is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber,and B-vitamins. Barley has very little fat andbecause it is a plant product, it does not containcholesterol.

In its natural state, barley consists of a kernelthat is enclosed in a tough hull. When the barleykernel is pearled, the hull is removed and thekernel is polished. One cup of raw pearl barleyyields about 3½ cups cooked barley.

A time saver is quick cooking pearl barley. Thisproduct has been steamed and dried prior topackaging. It requires only 10 to 12 minutescooking time as opposed to the 45 minutes cook-ing time required by regular pearl barley.

A flavorful way to serve barley is “HerbedBarley Pilaf”. It is similar to rice pilaf, only bar-ley is used instead of rice.

Herbed Barley Pilaf3/4 cup pearl barley2 cups water1 tablespoon butter or margarine2 chicken or beef bouillon cubes1 tablespoon instant minced onion1 tablespoon parsley flakes1/2 teaspoon dry basil leaves1/2 teaspoon dry oregano leaves1/4 teaspoon garlic powderPlace all ingredients in medium-size saucepan.

Bring to boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook45 minutes or until barley is tender and liquid isabsorbed. Makes 4 servings.

To cut down on preparation time, assemble thispilaf mix in advance. Put in airtight container orziplock plastic bag. Store in cool, dry place.

Barley - An Old But New Food

David Lott, Horticulture Extension Educator,University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension NorthPlatte, Nebraska

Few spring blooming plants grab the attentionof the public like peonies do. They grace manyhome and public landscapes with their large,frilly blooms. Many times, peonies are dividedand brought into the landscape as a remember-ence to honor a family member or friend.Requests come into the Extension Office wantingto know when and how to divide these wonderfulplants so those memories can be shared in thefuture. Now is the perfect time to divide andplant peonies to add to another part of the land-scape or share with others.

Peonies have been a staple blooming perennialplant in landscapes here for years. They haveadapted to our climate and soil conditions easily.They grow and thrive with very little care.Peonies can be found in full bloom on abandonedfarmsteads and rural cemeteries found off thebeaten path. No wonder they have been a versa-tile favorite in gardens for some many years.

First, select a location for the new divisions toplanted before digging up the peonies from theiroriginal location. The new location should pro-vide at least six hours of direct sunlight to helppromote vigorous growth and blooming. Counthow many sets of newly divided plants will be putin the new bed. Allow enough space to avoid theseplants from crowding. There should be 24 to 36inches between each of the new plants. The newplanting location should be dug to a depth of twofeet to loosen the soil. Add in a two to three inchlayer of compost of decayed manure into theplanting area before planting the newly dividedplants.

Second, water the bed where the establishedpeonies plants are currently growing for a fewdays before attempting to dig. Open up the soil to

a depth of eight inches all around the plant thatwill be divided. These steps will help loosen thesoil, and hopefully reduce damage to the rootswhen the plant is dug up. After this is done, care-fully dig up the plant out of the ground.

Third, cut the plant foliage to a height of oneinch above the plant buds with a clean knife. Thebuds are usually red or pink in color found at thebase of the foliage. Rinse the soil from the rootswith a gentle stream of water to expose the rootsand the locations of the buds. Divide the mainplant into sections with three to five healthy budsand corresponding roots with a clean, sharp knifeor spade. Remove any diseased or damaged rootsat this point.

Fourth, transfer the plant divisions to the newplanting area that has been prepared in advance.Lay the divisions out in the bed to ensure a spaceof 24 to 36 inches between plants before diggingand planting the peonies in the ground. Peonieswill need to be planted at a shallow depth to pro-mote vigorous growth and blooming. Do not plantthe buds more than one or two inches below thesoil. Planting the divisions right below the sur-face will help avoid straggly growth and few, ifany, blooms.

Fifth, fill the soil back around the newly plant-ed divisions thoroughly to avoid air pocketsaround the roots. Water the newly planted divi-sions thoroughly. Apply two to three inches oforganic matter on the newly planted bed to retainmoisture and winter protection. Do not fertilizepeonies in the fall. This is done in the spring byapplying one-half cup of 10-10-10 fertilizeraround the crown of each plant, and incorporatedin the soils six inches deep.

If you have any questions about dividing andtransplanting peonies, please contact me atdlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 532-2683, or bycontact your local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Office. Have a great week!

H a l f w a y H o m eby Lee Pitts

Statistics say that marriages where thehusband goes on an annual trail drive are20 times more apt to end in divorce. Okay,so I made that up. But I’m sure it’s true.

It has come to my attention that men whogo straight home after spending a week“trail driving” with their buddies wherethey drink, cuss and tell dirty stories, arehaving a difficult time reentering politesociety. I know one trail driver who wentstraight from a week of such debauchery toa dinner party with the parents of hisfiancé. Suffice it to say that the weddinghas been called off and the fiancee's par-ents have a restraining order against thepoor schmuck.

I, myself, have never been on a trail drive.My friend Terrell invited me to go on oneonce but my wife, having heard what goeson at these things, wouldn’t let me go.Besides, as a writer I occasionally call uponmy brain to function and I simply cannotrisk the possibility of brain damage fromspending an entire week trail driving whileunder the influence of my buddies.

Because many of my friends do go onthese things I have decided to start a newcharity which will purchase a home to beused as a halfway house where trail riderscan go after their trail drive so that theymight gradually reacclimatize themselvesto normal living. Just like recently releasedpedophiles, I realize that people are notgoing to welcome such people into theirneighborhoods, so I’ll buy a ranch way out

in the country, with a ten thousand acrebuffer zone, on which I might also run a fewcows.

I envision an active rehabilitation pro-gram where the cowboys will be retaughtthings they forgot how to do after spendinga week with their fellow heathens. Lostskills such as shaving and bathing regular-ly, using indoor plumbing, changing theirunderwear and using a knife and fork willbe taught by clean and sober ex-trail riders.

I am told that on many trail drives theparticipants tell dirty stories endlessly,sing bawdy songs and recite cowboy poetrythat would make a sailor blush. Therefore,intense therapy sessions on language skillswill be emphasized at Lee’s Halfway Houseand Cattle Company, so that the trail driv-ers will get all the vile words out of theirvocabulary before sitting down to dinnerwith momma and the young ones.

Speaking of flushing things from theirsystem, my halfway house will offer a soberliving environment in which substanceabusers will enter a detox program, gradu-ally replacing half their expensive whiskeyconsumption with cheaper beer. Realizingthat many of these men have been on a liq-uid diet for an entire week, we will reintro-duce both solid food and manners backslowly so as to not shock their system.

As we attempt to reintegrate our clientsback into captivity, my staff and I will alsoaddress such problem areas as going out-side to make water, riding one’s horse into

living and eating areas, harassing and rop-ing wildlife, betting large sums on trivialoccurrences, playing cards all night and fistfighting.

In order to promote recovery and restorethem to the men they once were, I recom-mend that for every week spent on a traildrive that each patient spend from one tosix months in Lee’s Halfway House andCattle Company. Because they mightregress to their previous behavior, therewill be a probationary period in which theywill not be allowed to communicate withany trail driving buddies until next year.Still we must warn you, recidivism ratesare high in dealing with this type of illness.

Thousands of men need your help today,so please, give generously. We think the$10,000 weekly cost per person of ourhalfway house will be picked up byObamacare but until that happens, I begyou, Save a Cowboy! Send your cash, oldclothes or cows to Lee’s Halfway House andCattle Company. After all, someday you toomay have a husband, relative or friend whowill be afflicted with this dreaded malady.

Wind turbines generate “green” energy and canhelp reduce electricity bills. However, homeowners,farmers and businesses should ask themselves sev-eral questions before deciding if a wind turbine isright for them.

First, people should look at their electricity loadand see if there are any other areas where they canreduce their energy use. In the long term, takingsimple steps to reduce the energy load can result inmore savings than installing a small wind turbine.It is also important to make sure that the site is bigenough for a turbine and there are no zoning lawsthat could restrict wind generators or tall buildings.

After deciding that a turbine is an appropriateinvestment, people should determine which designand size of turbine will best suit their load. A newcertification process for small wind turbines hasbeen written by the Small Winds CertificationCouncil based on the standards of the AmericanWind Energy Association. This new rating systemhas standardized measurements of output, makingit easier for buyers to determine which turbinesbest fit their needs.

It is important to question manufacturers aboutthe installation, capabilities and testing results ofturbines. Wind turbine installers should also bequestioned about their experience, turbine mainte-nance and total costs of installation.

For a complete list of questions to ask beforeinstalling a small wind turbine, visit the "Questionsto Ask When Considering a Small Wind Turbine"NebGuide at http://www.ianrpubs.unl.edu/epublic/live/g2022/build/g2022.pd.

Small Wind Turbines Can HelpReduce Energy Bills

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture(NDA) will receive funding from the UnitedStates Department of Agriculture (USDA) toaid the state’s organic producers and proces-sors with certification costs.

“Each year Nebraska’s organic industrygrows. We are pleased to be able to facilitatethese monies to assist our producers in obtain-ing their organic certification,” said NDADirector Greg Ibach. “Nebraska producerswill be able to utilize $85,000 from this pro-gram this year.”

Authorized by the 2007 Farm Bill, theNational Organic Program’s (NOP) Cost-Share Program is designed to assist producersand handlers of agriculture products inobtaining certification under the NOP guide-lines. Those guidelines require certificationand compliance with national standards inorder to sell, label, or represent agricultural

products as organic. Producers and handlerscan receive reimbursement for up to 75% ofthe costs of obtaining certification, with amaximum payment of $750. The actual cost-share amount will be based on a percentage ofthe total the applicant paid for NOP certifica-tion.

Applicants must have been certified orrenewed their certification between October 1,2009, and September 30, 2010, in order to beeligible for cost-share reimbursement.

NDA to Facilitate USDA Cost-Share Monies for Nebraska'sCertified Organic Industry

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack todayannounced that USDA will accept 4.3 millionacres offered by landowners under theConservation Reserve Program (CRP) generalsign-up. The selections preserve and enhanceenvironmentally sensitive lands, includingwetlands, while providing payments to proper-ty owners.

“Interest in this open enrollment period washigh, and I’m pleased that producers andlandowners across the nation continue to real-ize the environmental benefits of enrollingland in the CRP,” said Secretary Vilsack.

For this 39th general sign-up more than50,000 offers were received on more than 4.8million acres, nationwide. Enrollment of the4.3 million acres will keep the program enroll-ment close to the 32 million acre statutorycap, which will maintain and enhance the sig-nificant environmental benefits the programhas already achieved. CRP’s 39th signup willbring the total enrollment in the program to31.2 million acres, leaving sufficient roomunder the 32 million acre cap to continueenrollment in the Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program, continuous signupand other CRP initiatives through FY 2011.

Under CRP, farmers and ranchers plantgrasses and trees in crop fields and alongstreams or rivers. The plantings reduce soiland nutrients from washing into waterways,reduce soil erosion that may otherwise con-tribute to poor air and water quality, and pro-

vide valuable habitat for wildlife. Plant coverestablished on the acreage accepted into theCRP will reduce nutrient and sediment runoffin our nation’s rivers and streams. 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 basedon an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI)comprised of five environmental factors pluscost. The five environmental factors are: (1)wildlife enhancement, (2) water quality, (3)soil erosion, (4) enduring benefits, and (5) airquality. The minimal acceptable EBI level forthis signup is 200.

The average rental rate per acre for thissignup is about $46. USDA implemented anumber of measures including using addition-al EBI point incentives for producers to sub-mit cost-effective offers, and producer out-reach activities to encourage competitiveoffers on the most environmentally sensitivelands. These measures will maintain the highenvironmental benefits while decreasing thehistoric cost of the program.

Under CRP, there are more than 31.3 millionacres enrolled on more than 473,000 contracts.These 10 to 15 year contracts provide longterm enduring conservation benefits in returnfor an annual rental payment.

For the third year, U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s National Agricultural StatisticsService (NASS) is publishing county-level data oncash rental rates for agricultural land.

The information, which is available online,includes average rental rates for non-irrigatedcropland, irrigated cropland, and pastureland forthe 2010 calendar year.

“This data will provide an important decision-making tool for farmers, ranchers and otherlandowners,” said Dean Groskurth, Director of theNASS Nebraska Field Office. “In addition, USDAagencies will have these data available to helpdevelop and administer important farm programsused by farmers and ranchers.”

The 2010 county-level cash rental rates data areavailable online at www.nass.usda.gov throughQuick Stats, NASS’s agricultural statistics data-base. Maps of Nebraska cash rents by county anddistrict can be found at: http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Nebraska/Charts_and_Maps/index.asp.

Our nation’s farmers, ranchers, and small busi-nesses could have a pile of paperwork in their nearfuture, thanks to – of all things – the governmenttakeover of health care.

The new health care law signed by PresidentObama requires farmers, ranchers, and smallbusinesses to file a Form 1099 with the InternalRevenue Service for every vendor or contractorfrom which they purchase $600 or more in goods orservices in a calendar year.

In other words, when a farmer or rancher spends$600 on feed corn, seeds, fertilizer, fuel, equip-ment, or nearly every other expense, they willhave to research and prepare a 1099 form for eachand every vendor. When a shop owner pays therent, a 1099 form will need to be sent to the land-lord and then onto the IRS. A plumber who paysfor lunch once a week for his employees will needto send a 1099 form to the restaurant, while at thesame time receiving a 1099 form from nearly everybusiness client.

This provision was added to the health care billwithout any debate or chance for the public toweigh-in on its costs to our nation’s small busi-nesses, farmers, and ranchers.

In addition to the hours and hours simply spent

tracking down all of this information, businessowners may have to purchase new software or payfor additional accounting services. Even then, thisnew requirement could lead to thousands of inno-cent mistakes resulting in penalties on the veryindustries which we need to help for our economyto recover.

The National Federation of IndependentBusinesses (NFIB) has stated this provision willhave a “direct negative impact on small business-es” which lack in-house accountants and whichalready pay 66 percent more on tax compliancethan large corporations.

The NFIB also pointed out the “1099 reportingwill cost more in compliance than it will generatein revenue.”

The 1099-nightmare not only will create anadministrative burden for our nation’s familyfarms, but also will unnecessarily increase therisk of identity theft due to the increased exchangeof personal identification.

Each of the 1099 forms will contain personalinformation about the vendor – including socialsecurity information, payment processing informa-tion, Taxpayer Information Number, or otherinformation which could easily be used to steal a

business owner’s identity. Those who know howeasily a person’s identity can be stolen because ofa lost credit card should shudder at the thought ofthe billions of these forms being sent back andforth across the country.

It’s important we repeal this harmful provisionbefore it begins creating economic havoc. This iswhy I am a cosponsor of the Small BusinessPaperwork Mandate Elimination Act (H.R. 5141).This bill would repeal the new 1099 requirementand provide relief for producers already burdenedby the heavy hand of government. It’s a very sim-ilar bill to one being championed in the Senate bySen. Mike Johanns and is just one step we cantake to get our economy moving again.

Congress has the responsibility to find ways toget Americans back to work, stabilize our economy,and put our fiscal house in order. With nearly 10percent unemployment, our nation’s agricultureproducers and small businesses already haveenough headaches. Instead of forcing job creatorsto track down tax forms and put their personalinformation at risk, we need to be enacting policieswhich help them create jobs.

Nebraska is one of the windiest places in thecountry. I was reminded of that in August whiletraveling around the state, not only by the windwhich blew at every stop, but in meetings with fel-low Nebraskans who are working on plans to turnthe wind into energy.

It’s an issue dear to my heart because it involvesclean energy and the economy as it creates the newgeneration of green collar workers.

Big Wind Potential

One group I met with during a swing throughthe Panhandle provided figures showing the bigwind potential for their county. Those figuresshowed that the grand total for 1000 megawattswould produce an economic benefit of $1.1 billion.New local jobs during construction would amountto 3.298. New local long term jobs would total 451.

It’s no wonder that local groups around the stateare pursuing ways to harness the wind just asmajor utilities are. There is plenty of room forimprovement. While Nebraska ranks 4th forpotential wind energy development, we currentlyrank 24th in actual energy generated by wind.

Stimulating Jobs

Those promoting wind energy recognize that inorder to realize our potential it will require somehelp from the federal government. This is one ofthe big benefits from the American Recovery andReinvestment Act, which I helped shape to be goodfor our state.

The American Wind Energy Association saysthat the American Recovery and ReinvestmentAct, better known as the stimulus bill, has savedabout 40,000 jobs in America, many by providingfinancing for wind projects that had faced uncer-tainty after the near collapse of our economy in2008.

Also, the stimulus bill has provided $3.4 billionin grants for 100 smart grid projects that will pro-mote advanced transformers and load manage-ment devices that are crucial for getting morewind energy onto our nation’s energy grid.

To expand that grid, last year, I introduced theSMART Energy Act which helps build the nation-al electricity grid that I call an interstate EnergySuperhighway to enable energy generated by windturbines on the Nebraska prairie to get to the big

cities on the coast.This summer I also co sponsored legislation

aimed at helping Nebraska rural electrics andpublic power districts to obtain needed financingto help build new renewable energy projects.

It would be paid for by expanding a section in thestimulus bill that would enable Nebraska’s con-sumer-owned utilities to receive grants to helpcover the cost of renewable energy projects.Currently, the grants would only apply to utilitiesthat are owned by private investors.

So that the provision would not add to thedeficit, it would be paid for by closing a tax loop-hole that exists today for big oil companies.

Wind Energy is Good for America

As long as Nebraskans are of a state of mind toturn our state of wind into an energy generatingstate I will continue looking for ways to take ourmessage to Congress so it can become a reality.Taking advantage of the prairie winds is not onlygood for Nebraska; it is in the best interests of allAmericans.

On September 12 and 13, I will be leading a del-egation from Nebraska to the 42nd AnnualMidwest U.S. Japan Association Conference inDetroit. The delegation will be made up ofNebraska business and economic developmentrepresentatives who are interested in developingor expanding trade and investment opportunitiesin Japan.

The conference, Powering the Future:Transformation and Growth Strategies, will fea-ture Japanese and U.S. business experts and eco-nomic specialists. The annual meeting typicallyattracts approximately 300 top industry and gov-ernment officials, including internationally-knownspeakers from the United States and Japan.

Comprised of ten member states, includingNebraska, the Midwest U.S. - Japan Association isfocused on increasing awareness of how Japan'smarkets and resources can showcase the Midwestas America’s most dynamic and inviting business

environment. The association is dedicated to edu-cating Japan about direct foreign investmentopportunities in Midwest states.

A growing segment of Nebraska’s economy con-sists of international trade and investment.International trade generates in excess of 56,000jobs in the state and more than $6 billion in newmoney each year. More than 300 companies inNebraska are foreign-owned with total employ-ment approaching 20,000 workers. Approximately30 percent of Nebraska’s small businesses exportwhich is well above the national eight to nine per-cent average.

Nebraska and Japan enjoy a strong relationship.In 2009, Nebraska exported $416 million worth ofgoods to Japan, up 4.5 percent from 2008, demon-strating that even during the most challenging ofeconomic times, the partnership betweenNebraska and Japan remains strong.

We are honored to have more than 30 Japanese-

owned businesses located in our state. Our oldestand most recognizable investment is the KawasakiMotor Manufacturing plant in Lincoln, which hasmore than 30 years of success in Nebraska. Thisfacility is just one symbol of what has been amutually beneficial relationship between Japanand the State of Nebraska.

The State of Nebraska opened the NebraskaCenter in Tokyo in 2006. This office has been verysuccessful at developing new opportunities withJapan and is headed by Koji Nagasaka. He will beattending the Midwest U.S.-Japan Associationmeeting along with a delegation of Japanese busi-ness leaders. They will also attend the annualPassport to Nebraska Weekend in Lincoln onSeptember 10 and 11.

I look forward to this year’s conference and ourcontinuing efforts to expand the relationship withJapan to grow our economy and create more jobs inNebraska.

•For serious hunters who love and are dedi-

cated to the sport of hunting, it is imperativethat we teach our children well and carryhunting safety into the next generation. Therules apply whether one hunts with a gun or abow. Here are a few basic rules that should beimplemented ALL the time:

1Treat your disarmed gun or bow with thesame respect that you would with a

loaded bow or gun. ALWAYS assume that yourgun or bow is loaded and ready to shoot.

2NEVER, EVER point your gun or bow atanyone when unloaded.

3Always point your weapon in a safe direc-tion.

4Keep your safety on until ready to shoot.

5Do not become anxious and take yoursafety off of your weapon prior to the shot.

That is why the safety is located usually with-in an inch of the trigger.

6ALWAYS keep your target IN FRONT ofyou. That is crucial.

7Clearly identify your target before youshoot. Every year individuals are shot

because they are mistaken for a deer. In all myyears of hunting, I still cannot fathom how thisoccurs. Even 30 minutes before sunrise, oneshould clearly see their target before shooting.Once again emotions get in the way and inap-propriate shots are taken.

8Always unload your firearm; never climbinto a tree stand, climb over a fence, in or

over a duck blind with a loaded weapon.

9Know the range of your weapon. Knowhow far it will shoot. Know what loads

you have in the chamber. Know how accurateyou are with a bow and how far that your bowwill shoot. Know what is behind your target.

10Keep your emotions in check. UseGOOD judgment. No animal, no deer,

whether it is a pintail drake, large roosterpheasant climbing out of a morning’s cornfield,or a 10 to 12-point buck is worth an accident.It is when these gifts of nature occur and ouremotions rise that mistakes happen.

11Ear safety: Many hunters will sacrificeear safety so they can hear game com-

ing, especially when deer hunting. Put a softearplug in the ear closest to your weapon. Ipersonally have decreased hearing now in myright ear because this is one area I neglectedover time. All of our senses are precious and wemust take care of them as best as possible.

12Always keep your gun clean. When youunload your gun, if it is a pump, I usu-

ally make sure 2-3 ejections after the 3 shellscome out that there is nothing in the chamber.I leave the chamber open. The same for auto-matics. Check and see if your barrel is free ofany debris. Over the years, a mouse may findits way into your gun case. It can tear up some

of the cotton, and cotton may be stuck in thebarrel. If you shoot, you’ll have a split barrel.The shrapnel could come back in your face,causing eye injuries and severe facial lacera-tions. Even a little bit of snow at the end ofyour barrel can cause a severe injury. Whenyou drop your gun, you should always disman-tle it, clean it, wipe it down, and put it backtogether.

13As with any piece of equipment, aclean weapon is a functional weapon.

This holds true with bows, as well. Check thembefore use to make sure they are in good work-ing order. All parts of the bow should be tight-ened and in correct position, usually accom-plished with an Allen wrench, prior to hunting.

Corn trade has been higher this week following thesupportive USDA Supply and Demand Report lastFriday. The weekly net change is 17 higher on both theDecember and March contracts. Demand items continueto inch higher and the supply side is slowly deterioratingkeeping the bulls in control. The USDA SeptemberSupply and Demand numbers were seen last Friday. TheUSDA 2010 US Corn Production estimate was reduced to13.160 billion versus the average trade guess of 13.199billion. The yield was reduced to 162.5 bushels per acre.The new crop carryover estimate was at 1.116 billion ver-sus the average trade guess of 1.125. The old crop carry-over was 26 million less than expected at 1.386. Theworld ending stocks were reduced to 135.5 million tonswhich was down 4 from last month. The USDA alsoreleased initial CRP acre expectations this week. Theyexpect 4.3 million new acres to enter the program whichalmost completely offsets the 4.45 million that willexpire this month, but the recent rise in prices may pullsome of those acres into production and away from theCRP. On the weekly report, mature corn was listed at52% versus the 32% 5-year average. Harvest was listedat 11% complete versus the 6% 5-year average. The cropratings were down 1% at 68% good to excellent whichwas expected. The weekly export sales were a little lowat 584,200 tons, which may help give us a downside cor-rection near term. We still seem to have the ability tostretch up further into the $5 area. July 2011 futures didnearly reach $5.20, so we have moved into a target area,so more active up and down trade should start to occurrather than just up, like we have seen for nearly a monthnow. Hedgers call with questions.

Chicago K City MinneapolisSupport: 681 710 710Resistance 777 802 799

Wheat trade has been mixed this week due to acombination of chart buying and light profit taking bymarket longs. The weekly net changes are 10 lower onthe Chicago contract, KC is steady, and Minneapolisis up a penny. The KC and Minneapolis markets havegained on Chicago. This may continue, but somedryer soft red winter wheat areas may help supportChicago if moisture is not seen as we move throughthe row crop harvest. The world needs to import morequality milling wheat; this is supporting KC andMinneapolis. The USDA wheat numbers was neutrallast Friday; the global 2010-11 carryover was up to177.8 million tons versus 174.8 on the August report.The US domestic carryover was reduced to 902 mil-lion bushels versus 952 million last month. The 2010-11 export number was increased by 50 million bushelsto 1.25 billion bushels which was up from 881 millionlast year. The export numbers for wheat and corn maystill come up a little, but for now the USDA has goodsizeable numbers in the balance sheets. The weeklyexport sales were only 484,600 tons which likely willhave wheat challenging the lower part of our recentrange over the next several sessions unless somefresh export news is reported. On the weekly report,spring wheat harvest was listed as 83% complete 67%a year ago and the 91% 5-year average. Hedgers callwith questions.

November 2010 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has been higher this week due tochart buying and spillover support from the corn mar-ket. The weekly net change is 11 higher on Novemberbeans, October meal is up $3.30 and oil is up 25points. The USDA Supply and Demand report wasnegative for beans last week, but we sold off into thereport and spillover support from corn limited down-side. As a review, the new USDA 2010 US Productionnumber came in at 3.483 billion versus the 3.4 billionaverage trade guess. The yield estimate was raised to44.7 bushels per acre which was noted for theincreased production estimate. The new crop carry-over was down 10 million from last month at 350 mil-lion but this was 46 million greater than expected.The world carryover was just over 1 million tonslower at 63.61 million tons, which remains a histori-cally big number. The crop progress had 38% of thebeans dropping leaves versus the 30% 5-year averageand only 16% a year ago. The crop conditions were 1%worse at 63% good to excellent which was in line withexpectations. The soybean weekly export sales wereokay at 668,600 tons. Combined meal sales were lowat 65 thousand tons and bean oil sales were againhuge coming in just over 130,000 tons of combinednew and old crop sales. The NOPA August crush wasreported at 122.4 million bushels this week whichwas inline with expectations, but still up from 112.6million last year.

IQSC ExhibitionChildhood Treasures: Doll Quilts from the

Ghormley Collection. Childhood Treasureswill introduce audience members to the specialcharm of doll quilts and discuss their role inindividual lives as well as in a greater culturalcontext. Mary Ghormley's collection, donated tothe IQSC, contains more than 300 quilts madebetween 1800 and 1950. Collected over a forty-year period from all over the United States, thecollection is one of only a few such quilt collec-tions in the world.

Doll quilts are the smallest, yet some of themost endearing of quilts. When made by moth-ers for a young daughter's playtime, theyembody love and care. When made by younggirls as they learned to sew, they represent thefirst efforts in one of an eighteenth and nine-teenth century woman's life-long responsibilitiesto her home and family - namely the sewing ofall of the household textiles and family clothing.

Mary Ghormley is a founding member of theLincoln Quilters Guild and was a leader in theNebraska Quilt Project, which documented therich quilting heritage of Nebraska and resultedin publication of the book Nebraska Quilts andQuiltmakers. Merikay Waldvogel has writtenthe book Childhood Treasures, which containsbeautiful images of many of these quilts andtells the story of how Mary collected them overthe years.

Calf prices appear to be strong this fall.Because of high input costs, margin of profit forthe cow/calf producer will again be narrow.Producers that continue to match genetics(mature weight and level of milk production)with feed resources, environment, and manage-ment system will be the ones that continue toenhance their profit potential. If moderation isyour goal in terms of cow weight and milk pro-duction, it may be an increasing challenge tofind the genetics to meet this goal. Breed siresummaries indicate that the genetic trends forgrowth traits, carcass weight, and milk produc-tion have increased over the years. It is hard tosee how milk production and mature weight ofcommercial cow herds has not continueincreased over time. In addition, it hard to seehow nutrient needs of the commercial cow herdhaven’t increased over time as well. McMurray(Feedstuffs article, 2008) suggested that aver-age cow weight had increased 322 poundsbetween 1975 and 2005. McMurray indicatesthat average cow weight (weight for cows atbody condition score 5) in 2005 was 1,369pounds compared to 1,047 pounds in 1975.

Maintenance feed intake is proportional tothe animal’s metabolic body weight. Metabolicbody weight is defined as body weight to the 3/4

power (body weight3/4) which also describes thesurface area and is representative of the activetissue mass or metabolic mass of an animal. Soas cow weight increases, maintenance feedintake increases because metabolic body weightincreases. Cows partition energy that they con-sume to body maintenance and growth, thenlactation, and finally reproduction. In a lowfeed environment, cows with a high productionpotential would have limited energy left overfor reproduction because they would shuntenergy to maintenance and lactation and final-ly reproduction. In contrast, cows with low pro-duction potential (described as lower matureweight and daily milk production) in a low feedenvironment in theory would be able to shuntenergy to body maintenance, lactation, andreproduction. A solution to increase energyintake for high producing cows in a low feedenvironment on a fixed resource base would beto reduce cow numbers (cow inventory). In ahigh feed environment, low production poten-tial cows have enough energy to partition tomaintenance, lactation, reproduction, and willlikely put on condition. In this low feed envi-ronment and a fixed resource base, to limitenergy intake of low production potential cowso they don’t get over-conditioned would be toincrease cow numbers.

If cow mature weight were fixed at 1,200pounds and milk production varied from 10

pounds/day to 30 pounds/day, annual mainte-nance energy needs increase. As milk outputper day increases from 10 to 20 pounds/day,annual maintenance energy needs increase by8% (7,815 Mcal per year compared to 8,427Mcal per year). The increase in annual mainte-nance energy of a 1,200 pound mature cow pro-ducing 10 pounds of milk daily is 16% less thanthe same cow producing 30 pounds of milkdaily.

If milk output per day is fixed at 10 poundsper day and cow mature weight changes from1,000 to 1,200 pounds or 1,400 pounds, annualmaintenance energy needs increase 14% goingfrom a 1,000 pound cow (6,803 Mcals annually)to a 1,200 pound cow (7,728 Mcals annually).Likewise, maintenance energy needs increase27% between a 1,000 pound cow compared to a1,400 pound cow (8,637 Mcals annually).

If a ranch unit has a fixed set of resources,the effect of mature cow weight and daily milkproduction can be used to determine the num-ber of cows at the same milk output with cowsdiffering in mature weight that could be man-aged on the unit. If par was annual mainte-nance needs in Mcals for cows with a matureweight of 1,200 pounds and daily milk produc-tion was 20 pounds, we could calculate thenumber of 1,400 pound cows producing 20pounds of milk daily on a fixed resource base.Likewise, using similar information, we couldcalculate the number of 1,000 pound cows pro-ducing 20 lb of milk daily that could be man-aged on the same set of resources. If 100 headof 1,200 pound cows producing 20 pounds ofmilk daily could be managed on a fixedresource base, using the annual maintenanceenergy needs, about 90 head of 1,400 poundscows producing 20 pounds of milk daily or 112head of 1,000 pound cows could be managed onthe same fixed resource base. If cows in eachweight group had a weaning rate of 85%, 85

Live cattle trade has been higher this week due toshort covering and chart buying. The weekly netchange is $.97 higher on the October contract andDecember is up $.80. Fund buying seems to haveresurfaced this week which should limit downsidenear term, but position squaring ahead of the Cattleon Feed Report could keep trade active. Light cashtrade was reported on Wednesday at $154 in theSouth, but the bulk of feedlot managers are holdingout for steady money at $100/$157. The Cutout fin-ished lower on Wednesday with choice down $.69 at$158.28 and select was down $.60 at $151.43. On theDecember chart, resistance is up at $101.90 and

important support is down at $98.30-65. There con-tinues to be a lot of optimism around but our concernis that it's priced-in with futures now over $100/cwtfor 2011. The average trade guess for total cattle onFeed is 101% versus 102% last month. Total place-ments are expected to come in at 94% versus 99% amonth ago and marketings are expected at 105% ver-sus 98% last month. Hedgers call with questions.

Lean hog trade has been higher this week due to shortcovering. The weekly net change is $2 higher on theOctober contract and December is up $1.97. New highsfor the move were seen yesterday, so greater short cover-ing may occur before the week is out. There is a lot ofuncertainty surrounding the upcoming Hogs and Pigsreport; traders are holding a lot of profit in the deferredcontracts and they may want to reduce their risk aheadof this report which could lead to long liquidation.Seasonally, traders expect weakness this time of yeardue to increased hog numbers and tonnage. Hogs areaveraging 1.4 pounds heavier versus last week, and areonly .8 pounds lighter versus last year. Sow slaughtercontinues to decline sharply which suggests we may beheading for bigger numbers by next summer or fall.Hedgers call with questions.

Operationmanagers and everyone who handles, transportspigs, or sets protocols for handling pigs shouldattend.

Nebraska Pork Producers – Doing ItRight With Free TrainingSeptember 30th , HartingtonOctober 5th ,Grand Island The 430-acre field is near the Plum Creek

Massacre site, which raises historic preservationissues.

Platte Program Executive Director JerryKenny of Kearney said every project site is stud-ied for any history, environmental and/or eco-nomic feasibility issues.

"With every property and project, we thorough-ly explore these issues," he said. "We don't takethis lightly."

The "Elm Creek complex" project to clear treesand invasive weeds choking the river channeleast of the Highway 183 bridge already hasundergone environmental studies and a reviewby the Nebraska State Historical Society's StateHistoric Preservation Office, according toKenny's staff.

Director of Technical Services JasonFarnsworth and Director of Natural ResourcesChad Smith said the program owns about 500acres on either side of the river that extend intothe channel.

The project area runs about one mile east fromthe Highway 183 bridge to Nebraska PublicPower District's Kearney Canal diversion andthen another two miles east. NPPD and privatelandowners along the route have granted accessfor the project contractor.

Farnsworth said the work also will includedisking sandbars and building up islands asnesting sites for least terns and piping plovers.The project is out for bids now, and the contractwill run from Oct. 1, 2010-May 2011.

That portion of the river will be affected byfuture habitat-related tests to add sediment tothe channel and create temporarily higherstreamflows. An NPPD-program agreementapproved Tuesday addresses NPPD officials' con-

cerns about possible negative effects on theKearney Canal and hydro.

The Platte program will pay the costs forNPPD to monitor canal effects and for waterquality testing by an outside contractor. The esti-mated first-year costs, including equipment, arearound $82,000.

The agreement says the monitoring will be re-evaluated after three years.

Also Tuesday, Wyoming officials reported thatthey've hired a contractor for the $3 million"three-brick project" at Pathfinder Reservoir onthe North Platte River southwest of Casper. Thecurrent reservoir capacity of about 1 million acrefeet will be increased behind the 101-year-olddam.

Mike Besson, deputy director of the Dams andReservoirs Division for Wyoming's WaterDevelopment Commission, told the Hub that2.39 feet in height will be added to Pathfinder'sspillway wall, which also will be extended on thenorth end.

"We're gonna start this fall - the end of thisweek, actually," he said, with the contractor mov-ing equipment to the site. The completion date ofApril 2012 would be sooner, Besson said, if notfor the expectation of continued high water levelsin the reservoir and Platte Basin.

Kenny said much of Pathfinder's additionalwater will be used to enhance flows down theNorth Platte River as Wyoming's share of theprogram's water plan. Part is earmarked forfuture municipal water needs, he said, but PlatteProgram may be able to lease that portion in themeantime.

Governance Committee members discussedpossible lease terms at the Kearney meeting,which continued this morning.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COW WEIGHT, MILK PRODUCTION, AND NUTRIENT NEEDSContinued from page 12

calves, 77 calves, and 95 calves would be weaned from cows that weighed1,200, 1,400, and 1,000 pounds respectively.

This is only part of the profit equation. Profit of an enterprise is a com-plex set of relationships. Net income or profit is gross income dollarsgenerated minus total annual expenses. Gross income in a cow/calfenterprise is pounds of calf sold times price ($/cwt). Pounds of calf soldis a function of weaning weight and the number of cows weaning a calf.Nutrition impacts both of those factors.

Breed differences allow producers to design genetic packages that bestfits the feed resources of the operation. In turn, this should increase theprofit potential of the enterprise. The next question is what is the differ-ence in costs as cow mature weight and daily milk production are varied.You’ve got over half the battle whipped when you have a genetic packageof your cow herd fitting the resources they are to be managed in, espe-cially feed resources. If the genetic trends continue in the direction theyhave been, how do producers maintain the genetic package that theyhave worked so hard to fit their resources and environment? The focus ofthe article isn’t to say light mature weight cows are better than heavycows and high milk output is less desirable than low milk output. Theidea is to help you keep your eye on the target of what genetics packagefits your environment and to remind you of the major items that impactof the nutrient needs of your cow herd.

EXECUTIVE

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

- - NEBRASKA FFA FOUNDATION

It's the most amazing thing.

And it happens almost every time I'm at an event, a lunch-eon or a meeting.

When I tell people what I do, someone in the group says:"Hey, I was in FFA!" And they start to tell their story. Theyreconnect. And, as they speak, they realize just how muchFFA meant to them when they were younger-and how theirFFA experience shaped their lives.

Yes, the Nebraska FFA Foundation is about raising money.But it's first about reconnecting with past members-andwith those who have had a relationship with FFA as a par-ent, a teacher, a volunteer, a business or a neighbor.

Once that connection is established, the importance andvalue of FFA begins to again shine through-and giving to theNebraska FFA Foundation grows in importance as well.

I personally invite you to share your memories of FFA withus-and I hope those memories will encourage you to consid-er a tax-deductible gift to the Nebraska FFA Foundation.Visit our website at -- www.neffafoundation.or

Matt Kreifels, DirectorNebraska Agricultural EducationUniversity of Nebraska—Lincoln& the Nebraska Dept. of Education

After a two-year vacancy, Nebraskanow has a new State Supervisor ofAgricultural Education. In toughbudget times, the University ofNebraska—Lincoln and theNebraska Department of Educationhave created a combined positionthat will meet the needs of NebraskaAgricultural Youth. In July, MattKreifels started in the position thatcombines duties from both entities.

"This is a creative way to handlethese positions," said MarkBalschweid, head of UNL'sDepartment of AgriculturalLeadership, Education andCommunications, in which Kreifels'UNL position will reside. "This is thefirst time anything like this has been

done at UNL or the department ofeducation ... We're pretty excitedabout this."

For the last nine years, Kreifels, a2001 graduate and alum of the uni-versity’s ALEC department, hastaught agricultural science at BlairHigh School, in Blair, NE.

Kreifels will fulfill a broad spec-trum of responsibilities as the newState Supervisor, “I spend my time infour ways: supporting current schoolsand teachers with agricultural pro-grams, helping to train future agri-cultural teachers, facilitate develop-ment of new curriculum and profes-sional development, and help to startnew agricultural education programsin Nebraska.”

Agricultural Education preparesstudents in 139 Nebraska schools forsuccessful careers and a lifetime ofinformed choices in the global agri-culture, food, and natural resourcessystems.

FFFFFFFFAAAA CCCCrrrreeeeeeeeddddI believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds achievements won by the present

and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we

now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.

I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well

as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associ-

ations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.

I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and

think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve

our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.

I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest

wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being

happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.

I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can

exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
