By James PuseyAmes Tribune

Less than 1 percent of Americans are fulltimefarmers and the average age of those individuals isaround 57, said Richard Heinberg, a leading expertin sustainability education.

"We don't even know who's going to be growingour food in 20 years," Heinberg said.

Heinberg, Senior Fellow in Residence at the PostCarbon Institute, has written eight books aboutsustainability and gave a lecture Thursday eveningin the Sun Room of the Iowa State UniversityMemorial Union. His lecture, titled "The Food andFarming Transition: Toward a Post Carbon FoodSystem," focused on the future of agriculture.Heinberg said the United States will need to tran-sition to a more ecological food system in order toprovide for its growing population.

Fossil fuels are at the root of the problem, hesaid, as it takes about 350 gallons of oil to feed theaverage American for a year. He also said it takesseven calories of energy from fossil fuels to producejust one calorie of food.

"We're actually spending seven times more ener-gy on food than we get back," Heinberg said."Altogether, the food system uses great amounts ofenergy."

Heinberg said it is almost certain the UnitedStates will face oil supply problems soon, as oil pro-duction in America peaked around 1970 and oil dis-coveries peaked around 1930. He said even thoughthere have been several oil discoveries in the pastseveral weeks, they won't be largely significant inthe long run.

"The world's easy, cheap oil is gone," he said."What's left is going to be difficult to find and diffi-cult to extract."

The solution to the problem, Heinberg said, is aswitch from industrialized agriculture to ecologicalagriculture, with several key components:

Relocalization of food sytemsGrow food locally for local consumption. No more

shipping food out of the state for processing, thenback in for consumption.

Transport food with our most fuel-efficient meth-

ods: ship and rail. Stop building highways andstart rebuilding the country's vast rail network.

Host and participate in local farmer's markets.

Energy from the farmImplement solar, wind and micro-hydro energy

production.Collect biomass from agricultural waste produced

on the farm.

Changes in dietReduce the production of packaged and processed

foods.Reduce overall meat consumption.Return to eating foods in season.

Heinberg said the focus of the 20th century wasurbanization, but with gas prices on the rise heexpects to see a "reruralization" of America over thenext 100 years.

"Look out Iowa," Heinberg said, "you may havelots of folks wanting to take up residence here."

He said before a reform in agriculture can takeplace, some changes in government policy will needto occur, including land reform to make space fornew farmers and financial incentives to encouragefarming.

Aaron Rosenberg, a freshman from Urbandale,attended the lecture because he was interested inthe subject and said Heinberg's lecture alerted himto a number of sustainability issues.

"It was kind of eye-opening," Rosenberg said. "It'sobvious we're going to have to change our lifestylesif we want a sustainable future."

Heinberg said even though the task of agricultur-al reform is ambitious, he doesn't doubt that thenext generation will find a way to make it happen.

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

Scattered frost andfreeze conditions werereported across the west-ern 2/3 of Nebraska dur-ing the morning hours ofSeptember 28 and 29.

Preliminary reportsindicated temperaturesdropped down to 25 F inthe Alliance area.Overall, 30-32 F temper-ature reports were com-mon across west centraland north centralNebraska, while morescattered reports of lightto moderate frost wereobserved across south-

western and central areas of the state. If the weather models verify during the upcoming

two weeks, hard freezes are likely across most of thestate bringing an official end to the 2009 cropping sea-son.

Week One Forecast, 10/3 - 10/9: The powerfulstorm responsible for severe weather on 9/30 andrainy conditions through 10/2 has moved into theGreat Lakes region. In its wake, dry conditions areexpected on 10/3 and most of 10/4. High temperaturesare expected to be in the mid 60's northeast to mid70's southwest.

Another strong low pressure system will movethrough the central Plains during the 10/5 -10/6 peri-

od. Rain and thunderstorms may develop during thelate afternoon hours of 10/4 across western Nebraskaand move eastward during the overnight hours. Amore general rain is expected statewide on 10/5 and10/6.

Highs are projected to be in the 50's northwest tolow 70's southeast, with mid 50's to low 60's likely on10/6. As skies clear late on 10/6, temperatures willplunge overnight and frost/freeze conditions are likelyacross the northern half of the state the morning of10/7. High temperatures on 10/7 are projected to be in50's northeast to low 60's southwest, warming into the60's statewide on 10/8. Another reinforcing shot of coldair should move through the state on 10/9, with littlemoisture expected. Highs will be in the 60's, with lowsapproaching the freezing mark.

Week Two Forecast, 10/10 - 10/16. As the reinforc-ing shot of cold air sags southward, it may produceupslope flow conditions across the western 1/3 of thestate. Rain is likely with the possibly of a mixture ofrain and snow across the higher elevations of thePanhandle. Highs will be in the 40's west to 50's east.

A hard freeze is currently projected statewide on themorning of 10/11 as the rain is pushed out of theregion and high pressure lies directly over Nebraska.The high pressure system is forecasted to remainanchored over the central U.S. during the remainderof the forecast period.

Therefore, dry conditions are expected from 10/11through 10/16. Highs will warm from the 50's on 10/11into the mid 60's to low 70's by 10/16.

Those of us who enjoy living in small, rural com-munities know well the many benefits. Neighborsknow each other, they help out during harvest orcalving season, and they are always there to lend ahand.

Of course, there are challenges, among themaccess to air service, specialized medical care, androads funding. One such challenge is access to aqualified veterinarian. The demand for large-ani-mal veterinarians is soaring, but a shortage per-sists which could put our nation’s agriculture econ-omy at risk.

Nebraska’s Third District is one of the largestagricultural districts in the country, home to morethan 30,000 farmers and ranchers. We have thetop three beef cow counties in the U.S., and werank first in the nation in commercial red meatproduction.

Nebraska needs large animal veterinarians. Ourfood animal veterinary workforce is on the frontlines of food safety, public health, and animalhealth.

This vital profession, however, is facing a criticalshortage in the public, private, industrial, and aca-demic sectors. To make matters worse, the prob-lem is on the rise.

Large animal veterinarians, in particular, areintegral to small, rural communities. But in manyof these communities – communities with few peo-

ple but large numbers of animals – we are seeing avery distressing trend.

According to the most recent date from the U.S.Department of Agriculture, Cherry County has145,000 food animals per veterinarian. In fact,counties throughout our state are suffering fromthis disparity.

In order to stem this tide, I have introduced H.R.3519, the Veterinarian Services Investment Act.

The legislation authorizes the Secretary ofAgriculture to award competitive grants to helpdevelop, implement, and sustain veterinary servic-es, especially in underserved areas.

These grants may be used to support a widearray of activities based on the needs of an area,including:

• Veterinarian and veterinary technician recruit-ment;

• Expanding and establishing practices in high-need areas;

• Surveillance of food animal disease and the uti-lization of veterinary services;

• Establishing mobile/portable clinics and tele-vet services;

• Accredited veterinary education programs,including continuing education, distance educa-tion, and faculty recruitment.

Under my bill, eligible applicants must carry outprograms or activities which will substantiallyrelieve the veterinary shortages throughout ourcountry.

I am proud to say more than 30 of my colleagues– Democrat and Republican – have joined me ascosponsors of H.R. 3519.

My legislation has been endorsed by theAmerican Veterinary Medical Association, theNebraska Veterinary Medical Association, theAmerican Farm Bureau Federation, the NationalCattlemen’s Beef Association, the National PorkProducers Council, the American Horse Council,the American Feed Industry Association, anddozens of others.

Veterinarians make a difference everyday. Theyunderstand animals and they are integral parts ofour rural communities. Unfortunately, too manyrural communities don’t have this necessary sup-port.

Our nation faces major challenges to relieve vet-erinary shortages and to enhance the professionallives of veterinarians in both rural and urbanareas. Improving the well-being of food animalsand the agriculture producers who rely on largeanimal veterinarians for their economic well-beingis one of my priorities. The Veterinarian ServicesInvestment Act is a step in the right direction.

A way forward for Afghanistanby Senator Ben Nelson

America is at a tipping point inAfghanistan. It hinges on a function-ing government that is able to provideprotection for its citizens and can pro-vide the most basic services to its peo-ple.

As Chairman of the Senate ArmedServices Subcommittee on PersonnelI am watching developments and thetroop buildup in Afghanistan closely.My concern is about the U.S. strategyand how it will address governance inAfghanistan.

Benchmarks Need toMeasure Progress

For months I’ve called for establish-ing a series of benchmarks to meas-ure the new strategy in Afghanistanand Pakistan. They will help theAmerican people see where progressis being made and what challengesremain.

This is the substance of a letter Isent to Admiral Mike Mullen,Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,following his recent appearancebefore the Armed ServicesCommittee.

I am confident that he and othersare measuring effective governancebut urged him to make those bench-marks public when he and others onthe National Security Council outlineother military and diplomatic meas-ures of progress.

Disrupt Dismantle andDefeat

In my letter I also mentioned thatour committee is waiting for anassessment on Afghanistan fromGeneral Stanley McChrystal, the topU.S. and NATO commander there. Weneed to know how U.S. strategy fitswith the President’s goal to “disrupt,

dismantle and defeat al Qaeda inPakistan and Afghanistan, and toprevent their return to either countryin the future.”

The President has noted the keyrole of governance in reversing theTaliban’s gains and promoting a morecapable and accountable Afghan gov-ernment. This is no small undertak-ing but it is absolutely essential forAmerica to be able to eventually leaveAfghanistan and to make sure it does-n’t again become a safe haven for alQaeda and terrorists.

The forthcoming benchmarks andreports will demonstrate to thosecalled to service in Afghanistan andto the American people what we hopeto accomplish and how we will opera-tionally achieve those goals.

Straightforward ApproachMy approach is an outgrowth of

bipartisan work I undertook severalyears ago during the war in Iraq. Iwas troubled because there was noobjective measure of our progressthere and some groups said that wewere winning, while others said thatwe were losing. In response, I helpeddraft bipartisan legislation thatCongress approved and PresidentBush signed into law.

We established 18 benchmarks, ormeasurements, of economic, militaryand diplomatic efforts in Iraq. Thebenchmarks helped Congress and theAmerican people gain a better under-standing of our successes and chal-lenges in Iraq. They helped play downa partisan debate over whether wewere winning or losing.

We need to do the same as we see abuildup in Afghanistan so U.S. troopsand the American people have a clearmission and a clear set of benchmarksto judge how it is progressing.

New Senate Health Care Proposal needs workby Senator Mike Johanns

Dear Nebraskans, On Monday, my colleagues in the Senate rose

above partisan loyalties to support my amendmentthat will prevent tax dollars from supporting anorganization shrouded in controversy: ACORN.Employees of the Association of CommunityOrganizations for Reform Now have been convictedof irresponsible, fraudulent, and at times illegalbehavior, and I took action to protect taxpayers.

The federal government has long provided fund-ing to many services and organizations on thepremise that its recipients put the money to gooduse.

Our government funds the construction of roads,bridges, and public areas; and community serviceorganizations that assist the less fortunate andpromote the public interest. But ACORN's employ-ees have established an alarming pattern of decep-tion over time that demonstrates they do notdeserve taxpayer support.

ACORN employees have been arrested for voterfraud in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, and

most recently Miami. These offices have been raid-ed by federal agents and local authorities andfound to have falsified voter registration forms.Last year in Miami, one office was found to havefalsified 888 registration cards out of about 1,400.

That means ACORN falsified close to three voterregistrations for each legitimate one-and that wasjust in Miami.

Even more shocking are the videotapes that havebeen emerging reportedly from ACORN offices inNew York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

The tapes appear to feature ACORN employeesoffering advice on a host of illegal activities, includ-ing tax evasion, fraud, and even prostitution.Coinciding with the release of the tapes was theCensus Bureau's announcement Friday that it issevering all ties with ACORN for work on the 2010Census.

My amendment blocks federal funding in thetransportation and housing appropriations billfrom going to ACORN, which has received $53 mil-lion through Congress since 1994, according to a

recent report. The thought of more federal dollars going to this

organization is unthinkable. In July, the HouseOversight Committee minority staff published areport, and based on their investigation describedACORN as: "... a shell game played in 120 citiesand 43 states ... a complex structure designed toconceal illegal activities, to use taxpayer and taxexempt dollars for partisan political purposes, andto distract investigators."

It's clear that ACORN's employees have under-mined our country's democratic process, our laws,and our good faith.

I am proud that Senators overwhelmingly stoodup at a time when every dollar is critical to our tax-payers and our economy, and said 'no' to letting taxpayer money continue to bankroll an organizationbesieged by so much controversy and allegations ofwrongdoing.

I hope this act of rising above partisanship to dowhat is right becomes the rule and not the excep-tion.

“ F o o d f o r T h o u g h t ”by Lee Pitts

The grocery store manager came running downthe aisle screaming, “What are you doing openingthose bags and eating those potato chips inside thestore?”

“I’m just following directions,” I said, pointing tothe label on the chip bag that urged me to, “TasteThe Difference.” The manager was a bit upset butI was grateful for the opportunity to question himabout some of the trends I've noticed lately in thegrocery business. I present the repartee here inthe familiar Q and A format to see if you can makebetter sense of it than I could. I am the Q and he isthe A.

Q: I notice this can of corn with “No salt added”costs 10¢ more than the can that presumably hadsalt added to it. Or so the label would imply. If theydidn’t have to put the extra salt in the corn should-n’t the product cost less? After all, the extra saltmust still be sitting in a warehouse somewherewaiting to be sold.

A: What you are paying for is mostly vocabulary.Certain words on a label merely cost more. Forinstance, the words “lite,” “fat free,” “no salt,” and“hypoallergenic” can add as much as 20% to theprice of a product. Replace some natural ingredi-ents with expensive chemicals like buta-beta-hydroxy-rhododendron and the cost to consumerscan rise as much as 25% per syllable.

Q: Wow! So farmers would make more money if

their silos were full of adjectives instead of grain? A: That is correct. But you want to pick your

words carefully because some words have higheryields than others.

Q: Such as?A: The words “New and Improved” seem to be

the hot crop this year.Q: But are the products really new and have they

been improved? A: Of course not. The words merely mean that

the manufacturer has taken out all the good stuffand in so doing has “improved” his profit marginsignificantly.

Q: I may not have all my corn flakes in one boxbut I see a huge disparity between what cattlemanreceive for cattle and what you are charging forbeef?

A: It’s not just us. Eat at an all-you-can-eat buf-fet and you may pay $10.95 for dinner but dine ina high class restaurant and that wouldn’t cover thetip. It’s called marketing. Purchase fish eggs at abait store and they cost $5.95 but call it caviar andit’ll set you back a month’s wages. Grind up somedried citrus peals and yard leaves and call it “pot-pourri” and it’s worth more per pound than thewhole fresh oranges.

Q: I notice this week that cereal costs more perpound than rump roast. In an effort to improve

their beef ranchers feed grain to their cattle. Butwith these prices you are basically telling me thegrain was worth more per pound than the beef ifwe had just left it alone and called it cereal?

A: Only if you add enough sugar to the cereal.Sugar is the key.

Q: I still don’t get it. Blend some grain and horsemeat and call it “gourmet dog food” and it sells formore per pound than the rancher gets for primebeef. I just don’t understand why the person whomade the plastic toy in the box of cereal got morefor his effort than the farmer who grew the grain?It makes no sense.

A: Not true, it makes a lot of cents. In manycases what you are paying for is the cost of packag-ing.

Q: Then how do you explain the dirty carrotshere in this bin? The ones you have to rip the topsoff and bag yourself cost more than the prepack-aged, pre-washed, pre-sliced carrots in an attrac-tive package.

A: That’s because the loose carrots were “organi-cally cultivated.”

Q: Wow, that’s nine syllables by my count. A: Precisely! Magniloquent marketing, if I may

say so! (Look that one up in your Funk andWagnalls.)

“This conference will be a day filled with presen-ters offering solutions for sustainability,” said PaulBrown, Iowa State University ExtensionAgriculture & Natural Resources Assistant Directorand conference chairperson. “Keynote speakerJames Lovelock is one of the world’s most renownedthinkers on global environmental science. In hismessage, Dr. Lovelock calls upon farmers to convertagricultural residues to biochar for incorporationinto the soil as the solution to global climatechange.”

Lovelock’s presentation will be delivered via livefeed to all participants. The morning plenary ses-sion will also include presentations by JohannesLehmann, associate professor of soil fertility man-agement and soil biogeochemistry at CornellUniversity and Matt Liebman, Wallace Chair forsustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University.Lehmann will discuss the combined benefit ofbiochar for carbon sequestration and improved soilfertility. Liebman will present research findings onintegrating conservation with biofuel feedstock pro-duction.

“This is the seventh year Iowa State Universityhas hosted a bioeconomy conference, but the firsttime ISU has collaborated with 11 other universi-ties to simultaneously hold the conference,” saidBrown. “Last year ISU conference participants

came from 23 states and for the past few years otherstate universities have organized conferences witha biobased theme – it just made sense to form analliance and work together instead of competingand repeating efforts.”

From Wyoming to Ohio and Minnesota to Kansas,universities will co-host conference sites and sharecontent through high-speed communication sys-tems. Participants have the option of attending astate sponsored site, signing on as a corporate loca-tion or logging into the conference from anyplace inthe world. Iowa State University is managing theconference registration and virtual conference tech-nology. Specific information about participationoptions and conference registration are available athttp://www.bioeconomyconference.org/registration.

Conference co-hosts University of Nebraska (UN),Michigan State University (MSU), North DakotaState University (NDSU) and Purdue Universityare organizing and e-hosting the afternoon concur-rent sessions. The session begins at 1 p.m. andoffers two tracks – net greenhouse gas emissionfrom biofuel systems, hosted by UN; and non-tradi-tional feedstocks, hosted by MSU. The second con-current session begins at 3:30 and covers topicsrelated to advances and breakthroughs in biofuels,hosted by NDSU; and bioenergy economic and poli-cy issues, hosted by Purdue. All tracks have fourspeakers; speaker and topic details are available athttp://www.bioeconomyconference.org/speakers/ses-sion.htm.

Concurrent Session I

1:00 pm Track 1: Net greenhouse gas emission from biofuel systems

Robert Larson will discuss potential impacts of life cycle assessment and

policies for the biofuel industry.

Shashi Verma, Ph.D.: will discuss how field scale measurements of net

greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration are measured and the

findings from corn-soybean production systems.

Adam Liska, Ph.D.: will discuss life cycle assessment for corn and cellu-

losic ethanol production.

Richard Perrin, Ph.D.: will discuss the economics of biomass based com-

bined heat and power as a means of reducing fossil fuel use and greenhouse

gas emissions in corn-ethanol production.

3:00 pm On and off-site break

3:30 pm Track 3: Advances and Breakthroughs in biofuels

Charles R. Hurburgh, Jr., Ph.D.: will present a summary of advances relat-

ed to corn based biofuels. Corn based biofuels, if coupled with several emerg-

ing technologies, can be more energy efficient than commonly believed and

capable of distributing more key nutrients to livestock fed co-products.

Andrew Zurn: will present information on advances in ethanol production

using biogas from a gasifier in an ethanol plant.

Doug Berven: will discuss POET Energy’s plan to use corn cobs for ethanol

production and advances in starch based ethanol production.

duction of bio-oils.

Track 4: Bioenergy economic and policy Issues

Wally Tyner, Ph.D.: will discuss second generation biofuels economic and

policy issues with an emphasis on: blending wall, import tariff, market uncer-

tainty, technology uncertainty, feedstock supply, and interaction among all

these factors.

Dr. Steven Wu, Ph.D.: will present on contracting issues for second gener-

ation perennial crops and will discuss issues of how to design contracts suit-

able for farmers interested in biomass crops for biofuels production.

Roger Conway, Ph.D.: will discuss program funding opportunities made

available through USDA.

Daniel de la Torre Ugarte, Ph.D.: will discuss where bioenergy crops will

become feedstock sources and the economic potential for these crops.

5:30 pm Conference adjourns

Water Monitoring Network Grows,Looks for New Participants

From its start in 2005 with 15-18 cooperators, the NebraskaAgricultural Water ManagementDemonstration Network(NAWMDN) has grown to morethan 220 producers, crop consult-ants, and NRCS and Extensionpersonnel in 36 counties acrossNebraska.

These cooperators are usingETgages and soil moisture equip-ment to monitor crop water useand soil water status. They postweekly changes to the onlineETgage tool

ETgagesAtmometers (ETgages) are eco-

nomical tools that mimic evapo-transpiration (ET) rates and areused to monitor or estimate cropwater use. Knowing the crop's ETrate and growth stage can helpyou better manage your irriga-tion and water use.

ETgages are simple to use andinterpret and are relatively inex-

pensive, costing about $200.NAWMDN uses ETgages to esti-mate crop water use andWatermark sensors to measuresoil moisture to determine irriga-tion timing and amount.

The advantage of using anETgage is that it is located nearyour field and you can be activelyinvolved in reading the gages ona weekly basis. ETgages are usu-ally placed at the edge of an irri-gated field or service road foreasy access. For more informa-tion about using Atmometers,check out the UNL ExtensionNebGuide, Modified Atmometers(ETgages) for IrrigationManagement (G1579).

We are actively seeking morereporting sites around the state.Producers or consultants whohave ETgages and would like topost their readings to the siteshould register at:http://water.unl.edu/cropswa-ter/nawmdn.

Watermark GranularMatrix Sensors

Another tool used by NAWMDNcooperators are WatermarkGranular Matrix sensors. Thesesensors are economical, durable,simple, and accurate tools to mon-itor soil water status. One of thegoals of the network is to utilizeas much off season precipitationand dry down the soil profile aswe near the end of the growingseason!

By knowing your crop's soilwater status and stage of develop-ment and by monitoring precipita-tion and irrigation applications,you can accurately predict whento make that last irrigation. Formore information on this method,see the archived story inCropWatch, Measuring Soil WaterStatus Using Watermark Sensors.

Also see these sites for moreinformation on crop water use andirrigation management .

Threads Across Nebraska, which is sponsored bythe Nebraska State Quilt Guild, will celebrate it’sfifth year when it is held October 2 and 3 at theHeartland Event Center. The quilt show and ven-dor mall was started as a fund raiser to help thestate guild meet their pledge of $150,000 to theInternational Quilt Study Center. This pledge hasbeen met. The purpose for the future is to increaseand fund the awareness of quilting across thestate.

This simple scrappy quilt is fat quarter friendlyand perfect for just about any fabric collection.

Use country colors, batiks, thirties prints,brights, neutrals, holiday prints, etc.

FABRICS: 8 pieces of assorted dark fabrics (or 8 fat

Quarters) for the star, measuring 15 x 22 inches We used 2 greens, 2 reds, 2 blues, 2 purples 8 ten inch squares of assorted medium neutrals

for background (need to be similar values) can use all the same fabric or 4 fat quarters, but

it won’t be as scrappy Backing: fabric approximately 46 inches

square— or if you want to make a scrappy back,use 6 fat quarters

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS:Darks— Binding strips – Cut these first. Cut 2¼

inch strips (using the longest side) of each of the 8darks for your binding and then cut a second 2¼inch strip from one more of the darks to total 9dark strips to piece together for a scrappy binding.

Cut one 9½ inch square from each of the 8 darks& cut these squares on the diagonal once.

SCRAPPY BORDER: Cut two 4½ inch wide pieces from each dark

color as shown on the diagram Medium neutrals— Cut one 9½ inch square

from each of the 8 mediums & cut these squareson the diagonal once.

ASSEMBLE THE STAR: The dark triangles form your star and the medi-

um triangles will be the background. Experimentwith the placement of the triangles before you sewany of them into squares and choose a scrappy lay-out you like. The placement I used is in the dia-gram. Use your imagination and try different lay-outs. Sew the triangles together to make trianglesquares. Square and trim the triangle blocks tomeasure 8 ½ inches square. Lay them out again tocheck your placement. Press your seams so thatthe seam allowances will lock together and thenjoin the rows. Square and trim your star center. Itshould measure 32 ½ inches square.

BORDER: Lay your border pieces around the Star Center,

balancing the colors. Cut these border pieces intorandom sizes (I used 3 different pieces for eachside and placed 4 ½ inch squares in each corner).Piece together, measure your quilt center and cutthese borders to match your measurements. Sewto the quilt center and press.

Backing: you will need a piece of backing that isabout 46 x 46 inches. If you decide to use fat quar-ters, trim all 6 fat quarters to a uniform size andpiece together. Trim again to measure approxi-mately 46 x 46.

Layer with your batting and quilt top. Quilt asdesired. Piece your binding strips together usingdiagonal seams and bind your quilt.

Scrappy Star Quilt 40 inches square

By Robert PoreGrand Island Independent

With less than half of Nebraska's corn cropmature and running 10 days behind the normalmaturity level, a frost warning was the last thingfarmers wanted to hear.

But they heard it Monday as the NationalWeather Service in Hastings said clear skies andlight winds Monday night into early Tuesdaymorning were expected to drop temperatures intothe middle 30s by sunrise this morning.

The NWS said areas of frost are possible, espe-cially in low-lying areas.

According to NWS, the average date of the tem-perature dropping to 36 degrees in the GrandIsland area, which can cause a frost to occur withminor crop damage possible, is Sept. 28.

The average date for the temperature to reach 32degrees, when a freeze can occur, in Grand Islandis Oct. 8, and Oct. 16 is the average date when thetemperature drops to 28 degrees when a hardfreeze can occur. Last year, Grand Island experi-enced its first fall freeze (32 degrees or lower) onOct. 16.

But warmer temperatures are expected later thisweek, along with showers and thunderstormsstarting Wednesday night.

Today, the NWS is forecasting a high in the 70swith a south wind between 10 and 15 mph.

Wednesday will have a high near 74, but a southwind will increase to 20 to 25 mph with wind gustsas high as 35 mph. There will be a 50 percentchance of showers and thunderstorms Wednesdaynight and into Thursday with a high near 70.

A chance of showers will continue into Thursdaynight with a low around 44 before turning partlysunny Friday with a high near 62. Saturday isexpected to be mostly sunny, with a high near 65.

Weekend temperatures will be in the 60s withnighttime lows in the lower 40s with no rain in theforecast.

For the week ending Sept. 27, soybean harvestbegan to pick up speed, according to USDA'sNational Agricultural Statistics Service, NebraskaField Office.

The reporting service said that heavy dews dur-ing the week slowed harvest progress and highwinds late in the week buffeted stands. Seed and

high moisture corn harvest was under way.According to the USDA, corn conditions rated 3

percent very poor, 5 percent poor, 13 percent fair,52 percent good and 27 percent excellent, abovelast year's 75 percent good or excellent rating.Irrigated fields rated 82 percent good or excellentwhile dryland fields rated 73, both above year agolevels.

Corn dented was 96 percent, near last year's 97but behind the 99 average. Corn mature was 33percent, behind last year's 40 and 10 days behindthe 66 average. Corn harvested was 3 percent,near last year's 4 but 10 days behind the 9 aver-age.

Soybean conditions, according to the report,rated 2 percent very poor, 5 percent poor, 14 per-cent fair, 58 percent good and 21 percent excellent,above last year's 67 percent good or excellent con-dition.

Soybeans turning color were 97 percent, ahead oflast year's 92 percent and even with the average.Soybeans dropping leaves were 74 percent, aheadof last year's 66 percent but behind the 80 percentaverage.

Soybeans harvested were 7 percent, ahead of lastyear's 5 percent but four days behind the 14 per-cent average.

Sorghum conditions were rated 76 percent goodor excellent above last year, but sorghum maturewas 16 percent, ahead last year's 14 percent but 10days behind the 50 percent average.

Winter wheat seeded was 72 percent, ahead oflast year's 66 percent and the 69 percent average.Winter wheat emerged was 45 percent, ahead oflast year's 23 percent and the 33 percent average.

First frost warningcomes when corn croplagging in maturity

Grain augersafety remindersOn many farms, grain augers are in use for a

very limited period of the year. Maintenance ofsuch equipment may be overlooked or neglected.

Pre-season auger repairs are vital to minimiz-ing harvest downtime. Timely maintenance alsoreduces accident potential by eliminating obvi-ous hazards, and renewing operator familiaritywith the equipment.

Following are basic guidelines for the care anduse of grain augers.

Machine inspection1. Check that all guards are in place, properly

secured, and functional. The guard surroundingthe auger intake is critically important. Replaceall safety decals that are worn, missing, or illeg-ible.

2. Inspect winch and cable (or other liftingsystem) for condition, security, and operation.There should be at least three complete wraps ofcable around the winch drum in the "full down"position. The cable anchor on the winch drummust be tight.

3. Check all fasteners for tightness. Belts andchains should be in good condition and properlyadjusted.

4. Check oil levels in gear box and drive box.Lubricate the machine as specified in theowner's manual.

Safe auger transport1. Grain augers should always be empty and

in the "full down" position for transport. The liftarm of the undercarriage should be seatedagainst the down position stop, with slight ten-sion on the winch cable and at least three com-plete wraps of cable around the winch drum.

2. The hitch pin should be securely attachedand a safety chain connected to the auger andthe towing vehicle.

3. A slow moving sign should be displayed atthe output end of the auger. Don't travel fasterthan 40 km/hour. Be particularly cautious whenturning!

4. Watch for overhead obstructions and elec-trical wires. Electrocution can occur withoutdirect contact.

Minimizing inefficien-cies in gravity irrigationsystems can save irriga-tors money and labor.Normal wear and tearassociated with piecingtogether sections of irri-gation pipe and openingand shutting gates cancause significant ineffi-ciencies to irrigation over time.

ESTIMATING LOSSES. Flow meters provide amethod for estimating the amount of water thatleaks from gates and gaskets. While leaks are notlosses from the field, they do reduce the amount ofwater delivered to the set being irrigated. A Tri-Basin Natural Resource District study in the early

1990s showed that losses can exceed 50%. Oftenlosses can be 20% to 30%, which is 5 to 6gallons/minute per 30-foot length of pipe on mostsystems. A quarter mile length of pipe on a 1000gallon/minute well would deliver only 750 gal-lons/minute to the set if the water loss is 25%.

SAVING WATER. The impact of losing 250 gal-lons/minute is shown in Table 1 (below). The exam-ple simplifies calculations by using average setsize, although number of gates per set is generally

variable. It also assumes potential flow rate to beequal at both ends of the line, although actual fieldresults will be different, depending on which set ofgates are open, system design and relative eleva-tion from one end to another.

SAVING LABOR. Reducing leaks has added bene-fits that are not included in the suggested "addedprofit." Labor is an obvious major savings associat-ed with fewer sets per irrigation. We did not assigna value to labor, so you can use your own numberson eliminating two trips to the field and the timeassociated with setting gates and checking rows.

IMPROVING WATER QUALITY. Another benefit canbe improved ground water quality. Severe leakagecan add a constant supply of water to one area forthe duration of the irrigation. On silt-loam soils,one gallon per minute running down a row willonly advance about 100 feet. If that loss were tooccur uniformly along the pipeline, it wouldamount to about three acres along the pipe.

If 250 gallons/minute in leaks run for 3 days, 40ac-in per irrigation will be applied to about 3 acresof cropland. Estimates suggest that 5 pounds ofnitrate move with every inch of water that leachesbelow the root zone (Watts). Continuous leakinghas the potential to flush hundreds of pounds ofnitrogen into the aquifer. Aside from contamina-tion of the aquifer, it would take excess nitrogen tooffset the loss, or acceptance of fewer bushels pro-duced from those three acres.

RECOMMENDATIONS• Flag leaky gaskets and mark leaky gates

during the year to ensure repairs can be made inthe off-season.

• Discard gaskets where flagged, as you pickup pipe at the end of the season. Some people carrygates with them and change damaged gates whenthey are found during the year. If that doesn'twork for you, mark your calendar to replace gatesafter harvest.

A little labor in the off season can pay big divi-dends when things get hot and heavy during thesummer.

Gravity irrigation, byits nature, is somewhatinefficient. Runoff anddeep percolation arerealities that furrowirrigators must manageto keep irrigation appli-cation costs at a mini-mum. Application effi-ciency for furrow irriga-tion depends on soiltype, slope, and texture, but is often in the range of50%.

The first irrigation of the season is typically theleast efficient. Often the crop roots have only pen-etrated 18 to 24 inches when the field is irrigatedfor the first time. Crop water use is at minimal lev-els so there is little depletion of water in the soil atdeeper depths.

Although the soil surface is likely to be dry, theamount of water needed to refill the soil profile atthis time is usually in the range of 2 to 3 inches.However, the amount of water applied during thefirst irrigation is usually the greatest of all irriga-tion events. This is due to the rough soil surface,clods, and residue in the furrow that slow wateradvance and increase infiltration.

After the first or second irrigation, the furrowsurface is smooth andwater advances at amuch faster rate. Thus,the greatest savingsfrom fine-tuning furrowirrigation sets occurswith the first or secondirrigation.

One challenge thatfaces most furrow irriga-tors is how to balancethe amount of runoffthat leaves the field andthe amount of water thatpercolates below theactive root zone. Onemanagement tool toimprove efficiency is touse the target cutoff

ratio. The cutoff ratio is the ratio of the timerequired for water to advance to the end of the fur-row divided by total set time.

CCuuttooffff RRaattiioo == AAvveerraaggee AAddvvaannccee TTiimmee//SSeett TTiimmee

Research has been conducted to determine the"best" cutoff ratio for various types of furrow irri-gation systems and soil types. Choosing the appro-priate cutoff ratio depends on soil factors and irri-gation system configuration.

The cutoff ratio helps the furrow irrigator tominimize deep percolation and runoff. Table 1 liststhe target cutoff ratios for a number of irrigationsystem/soil texture combinations.

By looking at the target cutoff ratios, one can seethat for coarse texture soils, smaller ratios are rec-ommended. Smaller ratios indicate a fasteradvance time sothat the top end ofthe field would havea similar infiltra-tion time as thelower end of thefield.

Shorter advancetimes would limitdeep percolationthat is inherentwith coarse texturedsoils. Conversely,with finer texturesoil, a greateradvance time wouldencourage lessrunoff, sinceadvance time andset time are similar.

The reason thatsystems with reusesystems have such a

low cutoff ratio (faster advance time) is that whenthe water runs out of the field, it is collected andused on the same field or to irrigate another field.Pumping water from a reuse pit to another field isless expensive than pumping water from under theground.

By having fast advance times, deep percolationwill be virtually eliminated and water that leavesthe field in the form of runoff will be used again, ata reduced cost. In this situation, efficiency is gen-erally improved.

The one telltale sign that indicates many furrowirrigators do not use the Cutoff Ratio is when flagsmark furrow numbers at the end of the field. Ifirrigators used the Cutoff Ratio, even on clayeysoils without reuse, water should advance to theend of the field in under 11 hours, on a 12-hour settime (12 hours x 0.90 cutoff ratio = 10.8 hours).

If water was advancing in under 11 hours, therewould not be a need to count rows (i.e. no need forflags) and leave gates open on furrows that havenot advanced to the end of the field.

Calculating Your Actual Cutoff RatioTo use the cutoff ratio effectively, you will need to

calculate an actual cutoff ratio. Take observationsin the field and keep track of the amount of time ittakes for half of the rows to reach the end of thefield; this is the advance time.

Divide this number by the total set time, typical-ly 12 or 24 hours. If the observed cutoff ratio ismore than the recommended cutoff ratio fromTable 1, open fewer gates on the next set. This willcause more water to enter each furrow and willlikely have a faster advance time.

With the proper cutoff ratio and gross applica-tion, you can achieve more uniform water applica-tion and minimize both deep percolation andrunoff. Experiment with different combinations offurrow stream size and set time to find the opti-mum settings for a particular irrigation in a par-ticular field.

The best combination is one that moves water tothe end of the furrow within the requirements ofthe cutoff ratio, is less than the maximum non-ero-sive stream size, and results in gross applicationsthat are not excessive. For more information seeNebGuide G1338, Managing Furrow IrrigationSystems.

LINCOLN -- Farmer David Deerson is keepinghis fingers crossed.

His soybeans look good. Really good. Maybe hisbest crop ever.

But a smart farmer doesn't count his chickensbefore they're hatched -- or his bushels beforethey're in the bin.

"I don't want to jinx it -- I don't want a hail stormin September or something," said Deerson, whofarms near Mead, Neb.

His feelings are likely shared by many farmersin Nebraska and Iowa, where harvest is just begin-ning to get under way.

Thanks to cooler than normal conditions andperfectly timed rains, along with seed genetics andfarm technology, many farmers are finding fullsoybean pods and fat ears of corn in their pre-har-vest checks.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture forecast the largest soybean crop andhighest corn yields ever nationwide.

The USDA credited excellent growing conditionsthis year in the western Corn Belt and northernGreat Plains.

But there's a week or two before harvest will begoing full throttle. The same cool weather that pro-duced the lush crops is making them slow to ripen.Deerson and other farmers are uneasy aboutspeaking too soon about possible yields.

And while such large crops would be good newsfor a world with increasing demands for food andfuel, they will not necessarily translate into profitsfor farm country.

The USDA is projecting a 38 percent decline innet farm income from 2008, when farmers realizedrecord profits.

The 2009 projection of $54 billion in net income

would fall below the 10-year average of $63 billion,said Dave Miller, a south-central Iowa farmer whoserves as the Iowa Farm Bureau's director ofresearch and commodity services.

"I would suspect there will be more farmers exit-ing the business this winter than there was lastwinter," Miller said. "There'll be some financingpressure out there."

Almost as soon as the USDA projections werereleased, market prices for corn and soybeansbegan sliding.

As of Wednesday, December corn was trading at$3.29 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade,while November soybeans were selling at $9.16 perbushel.

That's well below last year's prices of nearly $7per bushel of corn and $11 to $12 for soybeans.

For its part, Nebraska is projected to have arecord corn crop and its biggest soybean yield peracre.

Iowa, meanwhile, also is expecting a record corncrop and a 14 percent boost in soybeans comparedto last year.

"This is probably the best crop I ever raised,"

said Darrel McAlexander, who has farmed morethan 40 years near Sidney, Iowa. "We've had anexcellent growing season on my farm."

Deerson said it's possible he could harvest morethan 70 bushels of soybeans per acre in one partic-ularly productive field. For comparison,Nebraska's projected record soybean yield wouldbe 51 bushels per acre.

Miller said that with more product to sell, farm-ers with marketing savvy and minimal landexpenses could make money this year.

A big crop could benefit struggling livestock pro-ducers, who have been pinched with higher feedcosts as the economic downturn suppressed globaldemand for meat, said Ephraim Leibtag, senioreconomist with the USDA economics researchservice.

Grocery store shoppers probably won't noticeprice changes, however.

The economy already has whittled down foodprices since last year, Leibtag said, and there don'tappear to be any factors on the horizon to forcefood prices up.

"Good supply, good production, a good harvest,those things can only help in terms of keepingprices low," he said.

Ag Processing toupgrade plantAg Processing Inc. of Omaha said it would spend

millions of dollars at its Dawson, Minn., soy pro-cessing plant to install a new, more efficientextractor to remove soybean oil from soybeanflakes.

The cost of the project, to start next spring andbe completed by late 2011, is still being deter-mined.

The plant produces meal and oil from more than550,000 acres of soybeans a year.

During National 4-H Week, thenearly 6 million 4-H members andover 500,000 adult and youth volun-teers celebrate their involvement in 4-H.

County and state 4-H programs plana variety of activities to promote 4-H tothe public and to recognize 4-H accom-plishments.

Two national events will be high-lights of National 4-H Week:

The second 4-H National Youth Science Day is October 7. Onthat day, youth nationwide will be engaged in a national scienceexperiment.

This year's experiment, "Biofuel Blast," helps youth to under-stand the process of making ethanol for fuel.

The experiment and supporting materials were developedwith the University of Wisconsin.

On October 9, fifteen laureates will be inducted into theNational 4-H Hall of Fame at the National 4-H YouthConference Center near Washington, DC.

These individuals are being honored for their exemplary serv-ice to 4-H.

Celebrating National 4-H Week, Oct. 4-10


Corn trade has been higher this week due tochart buying and light short covering. Afterthree days of trade, the weekly net change is10 higher on the December contract.

The outside market influence has also beensupportive; crude is over $4 higher and hasrecovered most of the losses from last week.The dollar is lightly lower and the DOW issteady.

Position squaring ahead of the USDAQuarterly Stocks report has been the themethis week.

The September 1 corn stocks were listed at1.674 billion bushels versus the average tradeguess of 1.719 and the low side estimate of1.665.

Exports have been good and the ethanolusage pace picked up this summer, so thisusage is not a surprise.

The final size of the crop we have begunharvesting remains the biggest items we needto know.

I believe this should limit upside, but thechart still looks good so buying could bearound near-term. The weekly crop ratingswere steady to 68% good to excellent.

Progress numbers had denting at 90% ver-

sus the 97% 5-year average, mature at 37%versus the 72% 5-year average and 6% of thecrop was harvested versus the 18% 5-yearaverage.

So the slow maturity remains a concernthat is limiting downside in corn even thoughthe yields continue to look big and many areexpecting 2 to 5 bushels per acre yieldincrease on upcoming USDA reports.

The weekly export sales came in at 673,300tons which was in the low side of expectations.I would advise hedgers to consider PUToptions under all unsold bushels.

The better than expected yields may bringyour breakeven costs down around the $3area. There is still an opportunity to createyour own “LDP” with some cheap puts, whichwould offer protection from a sharp pricedecline if we get record yields.

Specifically buy some just below the moneyputs to help lock in your break even costs asbest you can. Call us to discuss this.

I am concerned a combination of a big har-vest and a turn in the outside markets couldgive us a tumble that we can not afford.Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been higher this week dueto short covering and outside market support.

After three days of trade the weekly netchange is 8 higher in Chicago, KC is up 7, andMinneapolis is 5 higher.

The fundamentals remain poor followingthe USDA Quarterly Stocks report which wasreleased on Wednesday.

The all wheat production number was at2.22 billion versus the average trade guess of2.195 billion.

The spring wheat number was larger thanexpected at 587 million versus the 552 millionaverage trade guess.

The trade was expecting a negative report;this data was likely priced in and explains theshort profit taking that was noted for thehigher trade on Wednesday.

On the chart, the market did post a keyreversal up and finished above the 10-daymoving average on Wednesday.

This could lead to follow-through buying,but to me it appears the next supportive itemwill need to come from lower global plantedacreage due to lower prices.

The weekly sales came in at 506,900 tonswhich was 17% higher than last week and atthe high side of expectations.

The weekly progress numbers Mondayafternoon listed the spring wheat harvest at94% which is 4% slower than normal.

The winter wheat planting pace is at 36%versus 37% last year and a 39% 5-year aver-age.

Seasonally wheat should gain on the rowcrops due to harvest pressure; this may helpkeep wheat steady in the week ahead.Hedgers call with questions.

The September 1 bean stocks number waspegged at 138 million bushels which was 26million greater than the average trade guess.There are those that want to debate this num-ber, but the bottom line is that it just does notmatter at this point. New crop beans are com-ing in and what pipeline beans were put intothe quarterly stocks number were put intothe number. At the end of the day, the yieldnumbers have been coming in bigger thanexpected which means we really need the out-side markets to step up to support trade.

Weather items should continue to dictatetrade; recent rains have delayed the earlysouthern harvest. This should limit sellinginterest in the nearby November contract, but

there is some talk about increase SouthAmerican acres which could keep marketbulls on the sidelines. The weekly exportnumber was at 1.152 million tons with Chinathe primary buyer at 654,500 tons.

Meal sales were good with 23,200 tons ofold crop and 147,500 tons of 2009/10, com-bined they were at the highs side of esti-mates. The soybean oil sales were huge at18,100 tons of old crop and 88,100 of new.(The soy product new crop year starts nextmonth). The weekly progress report listed63% of the crop dropping leaves versus the77% 5-year average.

Crop rating slipped 1% down to 66% good toexcellent. On the November chart, the marketmoved above the 10- moving average, whichcould promote some follow-through buying,but nearby resistance is just above the cur-rent market at $9.28 which is the 20-day andthen up at $9.40. In the big picture yieldsshould determine if we break back toward theyearly lows at $8.82 or find support here.Hedgers call with questions.

Nebraska Farm Bureau recommended four veryspecific actions to enhance livestock developmentin the state in its testimony Thursday (Sept. 24)before the legislature's Agriculture Committee.The committee held an interim hearing inHoldrege on LR 240, which is examining ways topromote expansion of the livestock industry.

Bart Beattie, a Farm Bureau member fromSumner, presented the testimony. The state's corn-ethanol-livestock chain gives Nebraska a competi-tive edge in growth potential for livestock whencompared to other states, he said, along with itslower energy costs, access to feed stuffs, a smallerpopulation base and abundant natural resources.

"Nebraska needs to enhance its recognition thatanimal agriculture is economic development,"Beattie said, in addition to the focus it has given tothe Livestock Friendly County program and cur-rent tax incentives. It should look for ways to coor-dinate expansion opportunities among farmers,communities and the state, he said, and assistcommunities in identifying locations appropriatefor livestock.

Nebraska also should evaluate tax incentives forlivestock development, he said. "We continue tohear from younger farmers that access to capital is

the largest factor preventing younger or newerproducers from getting into livestock farming.While Nebraska has tax incentives for livestockdevelopment and a Beginning Farmer program, wewould support an examination of these programsto evaluate their effectiveness." The state alsoshould examine how surrounding states assistlivestock farmers, he said.

Streamlining state regulations and the livestockpermit process would also be helpful, Beattie said."We would support an internal review ofNebraska’s state livestock regulations in compari-son with our surrounding and competing states" tosee if regs need to be modified to stay competitivewith Nebraska's neighbors.

Farm Bureau also encourages consistency inlocal permit requirements, Beattie said, to reducethe uncertainty livestock farmers face when theywant to build or expand a facility. "We supportlocal control but believe there is a need to furtherexamine if there are ways to help build safeguardsfor farmers which assure approval if they do whatis required by the county. We believe there can bewin-win options that protect local control, but alsoprovide a level playing field for livestock farmers,"he said.

Nebraska Farm Bureau:4 steps will help state'slivestock development

Fenceline LowStress WeaningSpring calving herds across the Midwest and

Southwest will soon be planning to wean the calves.Some producers may wean the calves from young orthin cows during September in order to regain somebody condition before winter adds to the nutrientrequirements. However, many herds will wean atthe more traditional times of late October to earlyNovember.

Methods to reduce stress on the calves havebecome of great interest to producers. Therefore,weaning strategies have been studied in recentyears. California researchers weaned calves withonly a fence (Fenceline) separating them from theirdams. These were compared to calves weaned total-ly separate (Separate) from dams. The SeparateCalves could not see or hear their dams. Calf behav-iors were monitored for five days following weaning.

Fenceline calves and cows spent approximately60% and 40% of their time, respectively within 10feet of the fence during the first two days. During thefirst three days, Fenceline calves bawled and walkedless, and ate and rested more, but these differencesdisappeared by the fourth day. All calves were man-aged together starting 7 days after weaning. Aftertwo weeks, Fenceline calves had gained 23 poundsmore than Separate calves. This difference persistedsince, after 10 weeks, Fenceline calves had gained110 pounds (1.57 lb/day), compared to 84 pounds(1.20 lb/day) for Separate calves. There was noreport of any differences in sickness, but calves thateat more during the first days after weaning shouldstay healthier. An Ohio State University study indi-cated that Fenceline calves had a lower incidence ofrespiratory diseases.

Producers that have tried Fenceline weaning willremind us that it takes good, well maintained fencesand adequate water supplies for both sides of thefence. Remember, a large number of cattle are goingto be congregated in a small area for several days.Therefore water availability for both cows and calvesis critical.

To wean and background, even for short periods,fenceline weaning should be considered. Source:Price, et al. 2003. Fenceline contact of beef calveswith their dams at weaning reduced the negativeeffects of separation on behavior and growth rate.


Live cattle trade has mixed this week due topositioning ahead of cash trade.

Heading into Thursday, the weekly netchange is 45 lower on the October contractand December is 75 higher.

Cash trade has been very slow this week;asking prices are still firm at $86, but initialbids are expected to start out around $82.

The cutout finished lower on Wednesdaywith choice down $1.25 at $137.68 and selectwas 88 lower at $132.32.

The cutout will need to move above $140 inorder to sustain mid to upper $80 cash trade.

On the chart, the market is consolidatinginside of last week's range and is holdingabove support at $85.

Nearby resistance on the December con-

tract is up at $87.05 which is the 40-day mov-ing average.

Look for cash trade to influence the futures,but we will need demand to step up here tosupport a sustained recovery.

Hedgers call with questions.

Lean hog trade has been higher this weekdue to light chart buying. After three days oftrade, the weekly net change is 10 higher onthe October contract and December is 57 high-er.

The market has continued to build on therally following the friendly Hogs and Pigsreport last Friday.

Cash trade has slipped back below $50 dueto the collapsing cutout values. Chain speedremains aggressive which should limit cashselling interest, but it will be important forprocessing margins to remain firm or packerswill be unlikely to maintain big weekend killplans.

There is some short covering in the futures

market which may continue near-term, butcash trade will likely dictate how long we cancontinue our recent rally.

The chart is holding above support at 4767which is the 40-day moving average, but amove below this area would likely promoteadditional long liquidation.

The Nebraska Pork Producers Association isjoining pork producers from across the nation inOctober to celebrate National Pork Month, which

recognizes the worlds most widely eaten meat anda century old industry full of delicious tradition.

Governor Dave Heineman joined a group of

Nebraska pork producers at Husker Harvest Days.During his stop for lunch, at the “Pork Place,”Governor Heineman met with producers brieflyand commented on the importance of the industryto Nebraska’s agricultural economy.

Governor Heineman then resented the procla-mation officially declaring October as NationalPork Month in Nebraska. Accepting on behalf ofthe Association was Dave Harrington, VicePresident, St. Paul and Shane Meyer, 2nd VicePresident, Exeter, Nebraska,

Nebraska is sixth in the nation for pork produc-tion and has almost 2,200 family hog farms acrossthe state. “National Pork Month is a time to pro-mote delicious pork products,” said Dennis Beethe,president of the board for the Nebraska PorkProducers Association.

“It is also a great opportunity to thank everyonefor their continued enthusiasm for all of the porkproducts and recognize Nebraska’s hog farmers’dedication and commitment to the pork industryand to their local communities.”

The Nebraska Pork Producers Association is agrassroots, incorporated, non profit organizationestablished in 1961. NPPA was developed to pro-mote the pork industry through the enhancementof consumer demand, producer education andresearch. For more information, visit NPPA’s web-site at www.NEpork.org.
