In autumn moonlight when the white air wan by Robert Seymour Bridges

In autumn moonlight when the white air wan

Is fragrant in the wake of summer hence

Tis sweet to sit entranced and muse thereon

In melancholy and godlike indolence

When the proud spirit lulld by mortal prime

To fond pretence of immortality

Vieweth all moments from the birth of time

All things whateer have been or yet shall be

And like the garden where the year is spent

The ruin of old life is full of yearning

Mingling poetic rapture of lament

With flowers and sunshine of springs sure returning

Only in visions of the white air wan


Coyne a new variety of Great Northern dry edible bean released by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2008 is

getting positive reviews during its first year of commercial availability Yields wonrsquot be known until the dry beans have

been harvested in several weeks But Coyne has compared favorably to other varieties of Great Northerns as well as

other market classes of dry beans in disease resistance bean quality and several other traits according to several farm-

ers and a dry bean producer

Stateline Dry Bean Cooperative hosted a field day recently at several fields north of Mitchell in Scotts Bluff Coun-

ty Limited quantities of Coyne were available this year from Stateline and several other processors A few thousand

acres were planted in western Nebraska from Hay Springs southwest to Gering and west to Torrington Wyo Field spe-

cialist Dave Dietrich of Stateline said Coyne has demonstrated some desirable qualities such as excellent size and good

color He said the beans might be suitable for canning where quality and appearance is especially important ldquoI donrsquot

know if therersquoll be a demand for canners but if there will this would fit the billrdquo he said Dietrich said Coyne was rust-

free in areas where other varieties nearby had been affected by the disease There was some common bacterial blight

observed he said but Coyne appears to be more resistant than other beans

Jeff Jenkins one of the growers whose fields were on display said the Coyne Great Northerns looked ldquoexcellentrdquo

disease-wise compared to other Great Northern varieties and pinto beans he had planted He spotted no common rust or

common bacterial blight Coyne was bred specifically for enhanced resistance to those diseases which have been major

problems for Nebraska dry bean producers Because Coyne is an upright plant getting irrigation water to flow down the

furrows in the ditch-irrigated field was easy Jenkins said And when the bean plants began ripening recently turning

from green to yellow the change was very uniform Rod Loose who had a field of Coyne across the road from Jenkins

said his fields also were disease-free Several other farmers who planted Coyne this year echoed Jenkins and Loose

about Coynersquos characteristics The beans are rust-free appear to be turning color well as harvest approaches and stand

up pretty well they said Some of the fields were irrigated from canals others by center-pivot systems ldquoFrom what Irsquove

seenrdquo said grower Larry Birdsall ldquoit could take over a fair share of the market acresrdquo

Treasure Valley Seed of Wilder Idaho has the sole license to grow Coyne seed but the new bean is a public varie-

ty it can be bought by anybody Treasure Valley Seed representative Randy Mattson of Chaska Minn said Coyne

should be widely available in 2012 after a good year of seed production this year at various locations in Wyoming and

Idaho The seeds will be coming into the bins soon ldquoAny farmer who wants to plant a field or two next year shouldnrsquot

have a problemrdquo Mattson said Although therersquos no widespread harvest data yet Mattson said ldquothe yield potential is

there no doubtrdquo UNL Dry Bean Breeding Specialist Dr Carlos Urrea said Coyne yields were very consistent at around

2700 pounds per acre during three years of trials from 2008 until 2010

Mattson said Coyne probably will be well accepted for several reasons It was developed specifically for the

western Nebraska production area it was developed by a public university UNL which also will receive a royalty for

each bag of seed sold and it was named after Dermot P Coyne a bean breeder at Nebraska for about 30 years before

retiring in 2001 Coyne died in 2002 his work led to the release of many popular dry bean varieties

Coyne is a midseason bean maturing 91 days after planting and ranging in maturity from 90 to 92 days Its seed

coat is bright white It exhibits a semi-upright growth habit The release of Coyne is the fruit of collaboration between

UNL the Nebraska Dry Bean Growers Association and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission which uses dry bean

check-off funds to provide some of the funding that supports UNLrsquos bean- breeding program

Production of F1 hybrids In Plants From Wikipedia

F1 hybrid is a term used in genetics and selective breeding F1 stands for Filial

1 the first filial generation seedsplants or animal offspring resulting from a

cross mating of distinctly different parental types[1] The term is sometimes writ-

ten with a subscript as F1 hybrid[2][3] The offspring of distinctly different paren-

tal types produce a new uniform variety with specific characteristics from ei-

ther or both parents In plant and animal genetics those parents usually are two

inbred lines Mules are F1 hybrids between horse and donkey Today certain

domestic hybrid breeds such as the Savannah cat are classified by their filial

generation number

Gregor Mendels groundbreaking work in the 19th century focused on patterns

of inheritance and the genetic basis for variation In his cross-pollination experi-

ments involving two true-breeding or homozygous parents Mendel found that

the resulting F1 generation were heterozygous and consistent The offspring

showed a combination of those phenotypes from each of the parents that were

genetically dominant Mendelrsquos discoveries involving the F1 and F2 generation

laid the foundation for modern genetics Crossing two genetically different

plants produces a hybrid seed (plant) by means of controlled pollination To

produce consistent F1 hybrids the original cross must be repeated each season

As in the original cross in plants this is usually done through controlled hand-

pollination and explains why F1 seeds can often be expensive F1 hybrids can

also occur naturally a prime example being peppermint which is not a species

evolved by gradual change from a single ancestor (cladogenesis) but a sterile

stereotyped hybrid of watermint and spearmint Unable to produce seeds it

propagates through the vining spread of its own root system

In agronomy the term ldquoF1 hybridrdquo is usually reserved for agricultural cultivars

derived from two different parent cultivars each of which are inbred for a num-

ber of generations to the extent that they are almost homozygous (possessing

two identical forms of a particular gene one inherited from each parent) The

divergence between the parent lines promotes improved growth and yield char-

acteristics through the phenomenon of heterosis (hybrid vigour) whilst the

homozygosity of the parent lines ensures a phenotypically uniform F1 genera-

tion Each year for example specific tomato hybrids are specifically recreat-

ed by crossing the two parent heirloom cultivars over again

Two populations of breeding stock with desired characteristics are subject to

inbreeding until the homozygosity of the population exceeds a certain level

usually 90 or more Typically this requires more than ten generations After

this happens both populations must be crossed while avoiding self-fertilization

Normally this happens in plants by deactivating or removing male flowers from

one population taking advantage of time differences between male and female

flowering or hand-pollinating[4]

F2 hybrid

While an F2 hybrid the result of self or cross pollination of an F1 does not

have the consistency of the F1 hybrid it may retain some desirable traits and

can be produced more cheaply as no intervention in the pollination is required

Some seed companies offer F2 seed particularly in bedding plants where con-

sistency is not as critical[5] See ldquoBreedingrdquo on page 6

Marker Assisted Selection From Wikipedia

Marker assisted selection or marker aided selection (MAS) is a process whereby a marker (morphological biochemical

or one based on DNARNA variation) is used for indirect selection of a genetic determinant or determinants of a trait of

interest (ie productivity disease resistance abiotic stress tolerance andor quality) This process is used in plant and

animal breeding

Overview

Considerable developments in biotechnology have led plant breeders to develop more efficient selection systems to re-

place traditional phenotypic-pedigree-based selection systems

Marker assisted selection (MAS) is indirect selection process where a trait of interest is selected not based on the trait

itself but on a marker linked to it[1][2][3][4] For example if MAS is being used to select individuals with a disease the lev-

el of disease is not quantified but rather a marker allele (one member of a pair of series of genes that occupy a specific

position on a specific chromosome) which is linked with disease is used to determine disease presence The assumption

is that linked allele associates with the gene andor quantitative trait locus (QTL) of interest MAS can be useful for traits

that are difficult to measure exhibit low heritability andor are expressed late in development

Marker Types

Biological- Different pathogen races or insect biotypes based on host pathogen or host parasite interaction can be used as

a marker since the genetic constitution of an organism can affect its susceptibility to pathogens or parasites

Morphological - First markers loci available that have obvious impact on morphology of plant Genes that affect form

coloration male sterility or resistance among others have been analyzed in many plant species Examples of this type of

In 1923 Karl Sax first reported asso-

ciation of a simply inherited genetic

marker with a quantitative trait in

plants when he observed segregation

of seed size associated with segrega-

tion for a seed coat color marker in

beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L )

Gene versus Marker

The gene of interest is directly related

with production of protein(s) that pro-

duce certain phenotypes whereas

markers should not influence the trait

of interest but are genetically linked

(and so go together during segregation

of gametes due to the concomitant

reduction in homologous recombina-

tion between the marker and gene of

interest) In many traits genes are dis-

covered and can be directly assayed

for their presence with a high level of

confidence However if a gene is not

isolated markers help is taken to tag a

gene of interest In such case there

may be some inaccurate (even false)

positive results due to recombination between the marker of interest and gene

(or QTL) A perfect marker would elicit no false positive results

Important properties of ideal markers for MAS

Easy recognition of all possible phenotypes (homo- and heterozygotes)

from all different alleles

Demonstrates measurable differences in expression between trait types

andor gene of interest alleles early in the development of the organism

Has no effect on the trait of interest that varies depending on the allele at

the marker loci

Low or null interaction among the markers allowing the use of many at

the same time in a segregating population

Abundant in number

Selection for major genes linked to markers

The major genes which are responsible for economically important character-

istics are frequent in the Plant Kingdom Such characteristics include disease

resistance male sterility self-incompatibility others related to shape color

and architecture of whole plants and are often of mono- or oligogenic in

Toothed Spurge - A Weed on the Increase

by

Robert Wilson Weed Specialist

My first encounter with toothed spurge occurred in 1985 when I observed the weed growing in a sug-

ar beet field near Mitchell Nebraska Over the years the weed became a permanent resident on the farm

and has been a part of the weed flora when fields have been planted with corn dry beans onions potatoes

and sugar beets Over the last 10 years the novelty of the weed has increased to the extent that growers in

western Nebraska now ask about the weed and how to control it

Before discussing control a bit of background about toothed spurge maybe beneficial The scientific

name for toothed spurge is Euphorbia dentata and the plant is native to the eastern US and Mexico Another

common name for the plant is wild poinsettia The plant is classified in the spurge family which includes

leafy spurge (a noxious weed in rangeland) spotted spurge (a troublesome weed in turf) and cushion spurge

(a flower garden spring perennial) Toothed spurge

is considered a summer annual and reproduces by

producing seeds which germinate in the spring As

the name suggests the leaves of the plant are shaped

like a lance have toothed margins and all plant parts

contain a milky sap that becomes evident when

leaves or stems are broken In this area toothed

spurge can attain a height of 2 to 3 feet is more prev-

alent in spring planted crops but can also be found

growing in range pasture and along roadsides

Toothed spurge seeds are borne in a 3 lobed capsule

seeds are oval in shape dark brown to black in color

approximately 18 inch long and can remain viable in

the soil for a number of years Seeds are an im-

portant food for birds especially morning doves

which may help with the spread of the weed

Compared to many of the weeds found in

western Nebraska toothed spurge is small in stature

compared to sunflowers kochia lambsquarters and

pigweeds The weed does have a distinct advantage

compared to other weeds it has a degree of tolerance

to glyphosate (Roundup) As the reliance on glypho-

sate as a weed control tool has increased the presence of toothed spurge has increased Glyphosate kills its

neighbors and leaves a nitch for toothed spurge to flourish Research has shown a single application of

glyphosate in sugarbeet will only control 50 to 60 of the toothed spurge two applications of glyphosate

can increase control to 70 to 80 A reliance on only glyphosate for weed control has allowed toothed

spurge to increase A second advantage for toothed spurge is that many of the non-glyphosate herbicides

(Dual Magnum Eptam Norton Outlook Prowl Sonalan and Warrant) provide limited toothed spurge con-

trol Fortunately there are herbicides utilized in western Nebraska that will provide effective toothed

spurge control and in Roundup Ready sugarbeets and corn these herbicides can be utilized with glyphosate

(Table 1) A successful toothed spurge program will take several years and will require controlling the weed

in each crop in a cropping rotation Research also suggests the weed declines with no-till cropping systems

compared to preplant tillage before planting

nature The marker loci which are tightly linked to major genes can be used for selection and are sometimesmore effi-

cient than direct selection for the target gene Such vantages in efficiency may be due for example to higher expression

of the marker mRNA in such cases that the marker is actually a gene Alternatively in such cases that the target gene of

interest differs between two alleles by a difficult-to-detect single nucleotide polymorphism an external marker (be it an-

other gene or a polymorphism that is easier to detect such as a short tandem repeat) may present as the most realistic

option

During 2006 a US National Research Council panel led

by entomologist May Berenbaum warned of a looming pol-

lination crisis if honey bees and other pollinators continued

to decline in number 1 In 1940 there were 5 million colo-

nies managed by US beekeepers and an abundant popula-

tion of wild honey bees In 2006 there were 25 million

colonies managed by beekeepers and very few wild honey

bees Reasons for the decline in honey bee numbers in-

clude shifts in farming practices changes in land use pat-

terns extensive use of herbicides and insecticides low

honey prices due to global trade in honey and introduced

diseases and parasites

Among the diseases and parasites the varroa mite has been

the most devastating eliminating most wild colonies and

challenging the management skills of beekeepers 2

(Fig 1) As if taking their cue from Berenbaumrsquos panel in 2007 numer-

ous US beekeepers reported severe losses for which there was no obvi-

ous explanation Photo by Jim Kalisch University of Nebraska

The losses were characterized by a rapid loss of adult bees

from colonies leaving a queen a few young bees and

much more brood than could be cared for in the colonies

The adult bee loss ultimately resulted in colony death and

without an obvious culprit scientists named the problem

ldquoColony Collapse Disorder (CCD)rdquo The problem was first

reported in January 2007 by beekeeper David Hackenburg

who lost 85 of his 3000 colonies (Fig 2) A subsequent

national survey conducted by Bee Alert Technology in

Missoula Montana found that 29 of the 557 beekeepers

responding to the survey had experienced unexplained

losses of up to 75 of their colonies during the past 16

months

The losses were characterized by the rapid loss of adult

bees from affected colonies however as of yet no one has

observed a mass exodus of bees from an affected colony

Also of note some beekeepers have been profoundly af-

fected while their neighbors remain unscathed The story

of the bee losses has all the characteristics of a good mys-

tery except a villain

Figure 2 Colonies affected by CCD ndash The losses are characterized

by a rapid disappearance of adult bees from affected colonies

There remains only the queen brood honey pollen and a few adult

worker bees Although the loss of bees is rapid the rapid disap-

pearance of a massive numbers of adult bees has not been observed

by beekeepers or scientists Photo Jeff Pettis USDA

A National Working Group led by Jeff Pettis (USDA bee

laboratory Beltsville Maryland) was organized to address

the problem Their first challenge was to narrowly define

the symptoms of CCD and to separate it from other losses

that are explainable To date there is no evidence to sup-

port a single culprit however there is considerable evi-

dence that multiple factors are stressing honey bee colo-

nies including bee diseases and parasites agricultural in-

secticides changes in agricultural practices the need to

move bees more frequently severe weather and narrowing

of the genetic base

The movement of people and goods around the world in a

global economy increases the risk of introducing new dis-

eases and pests In 1984 and 1987 tracheal and varroa

mites respectively were first found in the US Both intro-

ductions caused severe colony losses In addition to their

feeding damage they are thought to both vector and acti-

Colony Collapse Disease Marion Ellis Professor of Entomology

Editorrsquos note An article from Eastern Iowa Health dated 091611 reports that many Iowa beekeepers are losing up to 70 of their bees each

year compared to about 20 winterkill prior to CCD Despite no recent news headlines these important pollinators are still at risk


vate some of the 15 honey bee viruses that have been iden-

tified 3 Another concern is collapsing within a week with

the queen still present While the fact that some recent loss-

es are unexplained may not be a new occurrence what is

new and concerning is the number of affected beekeepers

and colonies One factor on which most scientists agree is

that the movement of 12 million colonies of honey bees

into the central valley of California each year for almond

pollination exacerbates the spread of bee diseases and pests

when the bees are subsequently returned to their home

gine for US beekeepers and in 2007 the dollars paid to

beekeepers for almond pollination will exceed the value of

the honey beekeepers produce (Figures 3 4 and 5)

US beekeepers are especially concerned about imidaclo-

prid a systemic crop protection chemical that was banned

in France in 1999 after beekeepers experienced colony loss-

es and population decline when bees foraged on treated

sunflowers 4 The loss of so many colonies has also given

rise to many explanations not supported by evidence such

as suggestions that cell phones are interfering with beersquos

navigational system

After five months of investigation some bee scientists in-

cluding Nicholas Calderone of Cornell University are not

convinced that what is happening is really a new phenome-

non In the 1960rsquos and 1970rsquos beekeepers experienced simi-

lar losses due to a condition that was called ldquodisappearing

diseaserdquo and an 1997 article in a beekeeping journal de-

scribes healthy hives

Figure 3 Almonds are Californiarsquos leading agricultural export and

the production and prices have grown steadily They require bee

pollination and bees from across the US are moved to meet the

demand

The sequencing of the honey bee genome may ultimately

resolve the cause(s) of current and future bee losses Using

microarrays scientists can determine which genes are

expressed in response to specific stresses which suggests

that they will be able to develop precise diagnostic tools

for the many stresses that affect honey bees The ge-

nome project also may allow scientists to breed stress

tolerant bees by identifying specific genes to target for

selection

Figure 4 Prices paid to beekeepers for almond pollination

jumped from an average of $55 per colony in 2004 to $135 per

colony in 2006 Almond pollination provides beekeepers much

needed income but the mingling of bees contributes to the

spread of bee diseases and pests

A recent genomic study by Cox- Foster and her col-

leagues (2007)5 found a virus that had not previously

found in the US Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus The

study also found an introduced microsporidian Nosema

ceranae to be widely distributed While the study

demonstrates an association of both organisms with

CCD especially the virus it does not prove cause and

effect and most Bees in a poor nutritional state are more

susceptible to diseases and parasites Unlike other live-

stock honey bees cannot be confined in large numbers

and fed artificial diets for a long period of time without

adverse effects on colonies An initiative to develop a

more nutritionally complete artificial diet for honey bees

is being led by Gloria DeGrandi Hoffman at the

USDArsquos Tuscon Arizona bee laboratory Prior to the

outbreak of CCD a working group of beekeepers and

scientists assembled at the invitation of the Foundation

for the Preservation of Honey Bees to discuss research

priorities and a nutritionally complete artificial diet was

identified as the number 1 priority Honey bees have

been able to adapt and survive for longer than humans

have been on earth This is reassuring but we need them

to do more than just survive We need them to repro-

duce multiply and thrive to have the pollinators needed

to service agricultural and natural ecosystems What can

concerned citizens do Plant wildflowers support con-


servation initiatives that include pollinating insects avoid

applying insecticides to blooming crops and support re-

search and education programs for beekeepers The status

of honey bees and other pollinating insects is a good indi-

cator of environmental quality The best way to conserve

any organism is to increase the quantity and quality of its

habitat and augmenting the amount of foraging and nest-

ing habitat should be incorporated in conservation pro-

grams

There are also some low-tech ways to reduce honey bee

colony stress The success of honey bee colonies is tied

to the quality of their environment and when foraging

conditions are poor no amount of management can make

them prosperous Planting strips of bee forage in agricul-

tural and urban environments can reduce the stress

brought on by monocultures and urban growth Strips of

blooming plants also provide food and cover for numer-

ous other beneficial insects and they provide forage and

cover for wildlife Currently many acres enrolled in con-

servation programs in the US are planted to grasses and

sprayed with herbicides to discourage blooming plants

(Conservation Reserve Program) The addition of bloom-

ing plants and elimination of herbicides use on these acres

would greatly improve the foraging opportunities for pol-

linating insects In some cases CCD affected colonies

came from areas with drought or poor foraging condi-

tions

Figure 5 Half of the colonies in the US are moved into the central

valley of California each year for the pollination of almonds and

other crops Almond pollination provides beekeepers much need-

ed income but it facilitates the spread and movement of bee dis-

eases and pest to all regions of the US when the bees return to

their home state

Many scientists believe that a four-pronged approach will

be needed to fix the US bee problems

(1) Improve environmental quality for bees by increasing

the availability of forage plants and nesting habitat

(2) Thoroughly investigate the impact of pesticides on

pollinators and put appropriate restrictions on those found

to cause pollinator injury

(3) Improve honey bee health with research and education

programs

(4) Stabilize the honey and pollination prices at levels that

are sustainable for beekeepers and growers

a picture that can be interpreted many

ways

If you look only at the last year to three

years the news is generally good as

groundwater levels under most of Nebraska

continued to gain or at least slow their de-

clines

Overall groundwater levels under most

of Nebraska changed less than a foot from

spring 2009 to spring 2010 but when you

look at the data from the past 10 or more

years the picture isnrsquot quite as rosy

ldquoWersquove had a few years of average to

above-average precipitation which have

helped groundwater levels over much of

the state but if you look at the longer term

our groundwater levels are continuing to

declinerdquo said UNL School of Natural Re-

sources groundwater geologist Jesse Korus

ldquoNebraska Statewide Groundwater-

Level Monitoring Report 2010rdquo which Ko-

rus co-authored with other UNL groundwa-

ter experts says ldquoLong term groundwater

level changes in Nebraska primarily reflect

aquifer depletion in areas of dense irriga-

tion development and increases in

(groundwater) storage due to seepage from

canals and reservoirsrdquo

the state since 2007 which also helped reduce de-

mands for irrigation have meant generally

good news for Nebraska groundwater levels but the

long term trend is still that groundwater levels con-

tinue to decline from the period of predevelopment

of irrigation to the presentrdquo report co-author and

assistant geoscientist Mark Burbach echoed

Looking just at the past year the news is

better From 2009 to 2010 groundwater levels un-

der most of Nebraska generally changed less than

a foot There were rises in scattered locations but

there were also a few places showing declines

ldquoSome but not all of these trends are reflective of

statewide precipitation patterns in 2009 compared

to the long-term normsrdquo Korus said

Groundwater level rises of more than two feet oc-

curred around Lake McConaughy Keith and Per-

kins Counties and under most of the southern Pan-

handle Much of the and northern Sandhills experi-

enced rises of one to two feet and areas south of the

Platte River in west-central Nebraska and north of

the Platte River in central Nebraska experienced

rises of more than a foot but generally less than

five feet

Some of the biggest recorded one-year gains were

near the Missouri River and its major tributaries in

northeastern and southeastern Nebraska where

groundwater levels rose by more than five feet Bur-

bach said

Declines of more than a foot were relatively few

and widely scattered across the state The largest of

these areas was in Clay and Fillmore Counties

where declines were from two to five feet

Despite the gains or at least slowing of declines in

groundwater levels over much of the state in the last

three years levels remain below Spring 2000 l vels

over most of Nebraska due to widespread drought

from 2000 to 2007

Gains or slowing declines since 2007 also donrsquot

erase the fact that large areas of groundwater level

decline since predevelopment of irrigation remain in

the south central southwest and Panhandle Korus

said

Predevelopment water levels are estimated but gen-

erally occurred before the early to mid-1950rsquos de-

pending on when intensive groundwater irrigation

began

In areas of the state showing the longest long-term

groundwater decline ldquoMany are in areas of intense

groundwater irrigation but in a few areas wells are

not particularly dense

ldquoOther factors such as aquifer characteristics rates

of recharge and irrigation scheduling could be con-

tributing to the declinesrdquo

Burbach said

Average daily streamflows across Nebraska were

highly variable over 2009

In central and parts of northeast Nebraska flows

were above average due to above-average precipita-

tion but in parts of western southern and southeast-

ern Nebraska flows were below the long-term aver-

age due to near or below average precipitation

ldquoThe low flows in some streams in the Panhandle

and southwest are part of a regional trend in the

High Plains aquifer of long term reductionsin

baseflow to streams due to lowering of the regional

water tablerdquo Burbach said

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 15 2011

JOHANNS GRASSLEY SEEK EPA SUPPORT OF

FARM DUST BILL

WASHINGTON ndash US Sens Mike Johanns (R-Neb) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today asked Environmental Pro-

tection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson to provide certainty and put action behind her words of support for

farmers and ranchers concerned about the potential regulation of farm dust Johanns has introduced and Grassley has

co-sponsored a bill that would prohibit EPA farm dust regulation In a letter to Jackson the senators outlined conflict-

ing statements made by EPA and requested her support for the bill as a way to provide clarity to the agencys position

EPA wont hesitate to tell farmers not to worry about farm dust regulations but when pressed further all we hear are

intentionally vague statements and mixed signals Johanns said Their claims that they have no plans to regulate

farm dust conflict with their statements that theyre not able to distinguish farm dust from other regulated dust If regu-

lation of farm dust truly is a myth as Administrator Jackson has suggested she should debunk that myth once and for

all by supporting my bill Farmers and ranchers would applaud her for providing this certainty

The EPA has been giving conflicting answers and having it both ways on the dust issue for long enough Its time for

Administrator Jackson to set the record straight and put the word out to the employees of the EPA that agriculture dust

is off the table Grassley said When soybeans are at the right moisture level they need to be combined and if God

determined that the wind is going to blow that day therersquos absolutely nothing a farmer can do Dust happens

EPAs April 2011 Policy Assessment for the Review of the Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards

recommends doubling the severity of dust regulation Despite this Administrator Jackson has been reported as telling

farmers any contention that EPA plans to regulate farm dust is a myth

However EPA Assistant Administrator Gina McCarthy stated in an April letter that EPAs air quality standards are

not focused on any specific category of sources or any particular activity (including activities related to agriculture or

rural roads)

The Johanns-Grassley bill would thus enable EPA to consider the source of particulate matter and prohibit the agency

from regulating farm dust

THANKSGIVING QUIZ ANSWERS

1 President Lincoln proclaimed that Thanksgiving would be the last day in November Lincoln was mainly out to boost the Union

Armyrsquos morale during the Civil War

2 In order to appears businesses that wanted a longer Christmas shopping season President Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a

week He later compromised by making it the fourth Thursday in November

3 Venison and fish instead of turkey were probably the main sources of protein at the first communal gathering

4 Many Native Americans began a Day of Mourning to remember the violence and discrimination suffered by their ancestors

5 Every Autumn the ancient Greeks held a festival honoring Demeter the goddess of corn and grains

6 According to Greek mythology the prominent Thanksgiving symbol of a cornucopia is an enhanced severed goatrsquos horn that

will produce a never-ending supply of whatever its owner desires

7 In 1817 New Your officially adopted a yearly Thanksgiving day and other states followed suit

8 Turkey Itrsquos such an integral part of Thanksgiving that more than 90 percent of Americans have it on their table

9 On Thanksgiving day thousands of people watch floats parade down the street in the Macyrsquos Thanksgiving Day Parade

10 According to the US Census Bureau the typical American consumed 134 pounds (of turkey in 2004 That same year the typi-

cal American ate 47 pounds of sweet potatoes

Following last yearrsquos trade mission to Beijing China the Nebraska Department of Agriculture the Chinese Institute of Food Science

and Technology Agricultural Trade Office and the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission organized the 2011 Sino-US Nutritional

Health Seminar ndash Applications of Dry Edible Beans in Food Manufacturing which was held at the Beijing Friendship Hotel Beijing

China on August 18 2011

Over 100 Chinese nutritionists food manufacturers government officials and researchers attended the seminar The purpose of the

seminar was designed to educate the attendees on possible uses of Nebraska dry edible beans in the Chinese diet The one-day event

featured three UNL food science professors Dr Vicki Schlegel Associate Professor Department of Food Science and Technology

Dr Marilynn Schnepf Professor Department of Nutrition and Health Sciences and Dr Wajira Ratnayake Assistant Professor Uni-

versity of Nebraska Food Processing Center Also attending the seminar were Dr Ronnie Green Vice Chancellor for the Institute of

Agriculture and Natural Resources and University of Nebraska Vice President Greg Ibach Director Nebraska Department of Agri-

culture Stan Garbacz Nebraska Department of Agriculture International Marketing Director and Lynn Reuter Nebraska Dry Bean

Commission Executive Secretary

The seminar program featured presentations by the following

Dr Vicki Schlegel Features of United States and Nebraska Dry Edible Beans

Lin Rufa Researcher Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences China The History and Current Status of Chinarsquos Dry Edible

Beans

Dr Marilynn Schnepf Nutrition of the Dry Edible Bean and Whole Grains Health Benefits and Whole Grain Health Benefits

Yang Xiaoguang Research National Institute of Nutrition and Food Safety Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention

China Bean Foods and Diet Balance

Dr Wajira Ratnayake Innovative applications of dry edible beans in food manufacturing

Panel discussion included Dr Vicki Schlegel Lin Rufa Yang Xiaoguang Dr Marilynn Schnepf and Dr Wajira Ratnayake

Following presentations the panel of presenters answered questions from the audience for approximately one hour giving everyone a

greater understanding of the Nebraska dry bean industry and the Chinese dry bean industry

The Nebraska Dry Bean Commission along with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and the University of Nebraska looks

forward to future discussions with the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology regarding future collaboration and a contin-

ued relationship

The Chinese government is becoming concerned about the increase of diabetes and obesity in the Chinese population Because of

continued dry bean research regarding health benefits of including dry beans in consumerrsquos diets dry edible beans may become more

popular on a world-wide basis
