Harvest is beginning on somearea soybean fields, but cornmaturity is still behind the five-year average, according to theU.S. Department of Agriculture.

In its weekly weather and cropreport, the USDA's NationalAgricultural Statistics Service,Nebraska Field office, reportedthat for the week ending Sunday,the state's corn crop was rated 76percent good or excellent, which isamong the best in the nation. Thefive-year average is 75 percentgood or excellent. Last year's corncrop, at the end of September, wasrated 81 percent good or excellent.

According to the USDA report,the state's irrigated corn wasrated 79 percent good or excellent,

while dryland corn was rated 69percent good or excellent.

Nationwide, among the 18 majorcorn-growing states, the corn cropwas rated 52 percent good orexcellent.

Because of weather delays inplanting last spring, Nebraska'scorn crop was rated 52 percentmature, compared to 74 percentlast year and 57 percent for thefive-year average. Six percent ofthe state's corn has beenharvested, equal to the five-yearaverage.

The state's soybean crop wasrated 79 percent good or excellent,compared to 53 percent for thenation's 18 top soybean-growingstates. While soybean harvest isjust getting under way, statewidethe percentage of soybeans drop-ping leaves was rated at 47

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

This past two weekshas been dominated bydry weather with theonly moisture recordedoccurring during the9/17-9/19 period. Eventhen, moisture waslimited to southeastand western sections ofthe state. The upperair ridge responsiblefor the dry weather isexpected to hold on formuch of the first half ofthis forecast period

before shifting to a wetter and cooler patternduring the latter part of this forecast. Althoughthis could delay harvest activities temporarily, themoisture is desperately needed to reduce an everincreasing fire danger. Even with the expectedcool down, there are currently no frost/freeze indi-cations by the models during the next two weeks.

Week One Forecast, 10/1 - 10/7: The upper airridge responsible for the recent stretch of dryweather is expected to slowly move eastwardduring this forecast period as an upper air troughbegins to build into the region by 10/6. Therefore,dry conditions will prevail from 10/1-10/5 for theentire state, with above normal highs expected.The western U.S. upper air trough will begin tomove eastward on 10/6 and models indicate thatscattered showers should develop across westernNebraska during the latter half of 10/6. Theupper air trough and associated surface low isprojected to cross the state on 10/7 and bring thefirst widespread rain event in over 3 weeks to theentire state. If the models are correct, most areasshould receive 0.25-0.50 inches of moisture, withlocalized heavier totals if thunderstorms materi-alize. High Temperatures: 10/1 (70 NE - 83 SW),10/2 (80 E - 86 W), 10/3 (80 NE - 86 SW), 10/4-10/5(76 NE - 83 W), 10/6 (70 NW - 76 SE), 10/7 (63 NW- 74 SE).

Week Two Forecast, 10/8 - 10/14: Dry weather isprojected by the weather models for the 10/8-10/9period as the upper air trough responsible forprecipitation during the 10/6-10/7 period shiftstoward the Great Lakes. Another upper airtrough is then projected to move into the centralPlains and cutoff from the upper air flow. If themodels have correctly portrayed this feature, thecutoff low will remain over the central Plains from10/10-10/13 and develop widespread light tomoderate rain across the state. With the exten-sive cloud cover indicated by the models, apersistent period of cool and damp weather willdevelop. The upper air low is then projected tomove east of the region on 10/14 and dry weatherwill return to the state.. High Temperatures: 10/8(58 N - 63 S), 10/9 (64 NE - 71 SW), 10/10 (58 W -64 SE), 10/11-10/12 (52-58 statewide), 10/13 (54NE -65 SW), 10/14 (62 NW - 68 SW).

Pre-school children spend a large part of theirday at play. What are sometimes looked at as allfun and games are actually learning experiences.

A child’s work is his/her play. There is morehappening than just a game or a paint brushmoving across paper.

Painting on paper helps develop creativity andimagination. A child learns the names of colorsand how colors combine to make new colors.Holding and moving a paint brush helps developcoordination that will later be used whenwriting. Children often make up stories aboutthings that they have painted; this helps inlanguage development.

Art projects of any type help a child learndesign principles - texture, line, balance, propor-tion. Eye-hand coordination is also developedthrough cutting, gluing and taping.

The sand box offers many learning experiences.Developing creativity and imagination bymaking shapes and figures is one of these experi-ences. Pouring sand or moving sand sets the

stage for basic math concepts of addition andsubtraction. In other words, adding sand to onepile and taking away from another pile helpsbegin math learning. Sand can also help soothe achild (and an adult). Running hands through thesand can relieve tension and stress.

Games such as puzzles, blocks and snap-aparttoys help develop coordination between the eyesand the hands as well as learning about size,color and shapes. Puzzles are good at developingskills of deduction - which of the pieces definitelywon’t fit together and why; which of the piecesmay fit together and why.

Playing house helps develop social skills andan understanding of the world around them. Themake-believe situations and roles help developskills in language, creativity and imagination.

Playing in the yard offers great opportunitiesto learn about the environment - plants, insects,animals, weather. Curiosity runs wild. Curiosityis essential in the world of science.

Reading a book, looking at pictures, or beingread to can increase language skills.

Next time you see a child playing, rememberthat learning is also taking place.

Learning at Play

Fertilizer recommendations for cool seasongrasses such as Kentucky bluegrass and tallfescue include an application to be made duringthe fall. Now thru early November is an excellenttime.

In late October, weather conditions favor theapplication of nutrients for carbohydrate storageand root growth. Nitrogen applied in late fallstimulates some top-growth, but not the extentthat occurs in the spring. As top-growth slows,carbohydrates produced are stored in the crown,or used in production of roots and rhizomes.

The late October/early November fertilizerapplication is crucial. If one were to fertilize onlyonce each year, this would be the time to do it.Generally, late season applications do not elimi-nate the need for fertilizer at other times, but doallow the homeowner to use lighter rates in thespring. Lighter applications in the spring willreduce the incidence of foliar diseases, includingleaf spot. The late season application improvesfall and winter color retention, stress tolerance,root growth and spring green-up.

Take time now to apply a “winterizer”, or fertil-izer with a significant component of slow releasenitrogen and phosphorus. The analysis of atypical product would be 18-25-0. Apply fertilizerat a rate of 1.5-2.0 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000square feet. Do not apply fertilizer after the turfhas become mostly brown or the soil is frozen.Under these conditions, significant amounts of

nutrients can be lost due to surface runoff orleaching.

Keep mowing and don’t set the mower down –Many people ask how long to continue mowinginto the fall. The answer is to keep mowing aslong as the grass continues to grow, which isnormally into late October or early November.Frequency of mowing can decrease, but continueto mow regularly into the fall. Avoid the urge toset the mower down and scalp your lawn for thefinal mowing. In years past, publications haverecommended mowing low late in the fall. Aboutthe only advantage to this is that the tree leaveswill blow from your lawn into the neighbor'slawn.

Agronomically, mowing your lawn low in thelast mowing should be avoided because photosyn-thesis is occurring deep into the fall, well beyondyour last mowing. The higher the photosyn-thesis, the more energy a grass plant will storefor winter and next spring, and the healthier thelawn will be next year.

Mowing off too much leaf area reduces photo-synthetic capacity of a plant, reducing energystorage, and decreasing turf performance nextsummer. Regular mowing into the fall is alsohelpful to mulch tree leaves into the lawn, whichresearch has shown to be beneficialhttp://turf.unl.edu/pdfctarticles/Octmulchtreeleaves.pdf. Continue mowing at your regular heightuntil the grass stops growing in the late fall,since un-mowed tall grass can encourage snowmold in rare years.

Fall Fertilizing/Mowing Height

Textile heirlooms and keepsakes requirespecial care to preserve them for future use.Conserving textile keepsakes and heirloomsinvolves an understanding of light, temperature,humidity, insects, storage, display and cleaning.

Any type of light can cause fading. Low lightlevels or darkness are recommended for textilestorage and display areas. Ultraviolet rays fromsunlight and flourescent lights can damagefibers and cause fading.

Moist air, warmth and lack of air circulationencourage growth of mold which can stain fibersand cause deterioration. Textiles should beinspected regularly for mildew. A relativehumidity of around 50 percent and temperaturesof 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit are generally thebest for most textile items. Avoid storing textileitems in basements or attics where there can beextreme fluctuations of humidity and tempera-ture levels.

Moth crystals with paradichlorobenzene (PDB)will aid in controlling insects. PDB is toxic sotake caution when using the moth crystals. Readthe product label for correct use information.Insecticides such as PDB can react with thetextiles to cause color change. Avoid placing themoth crystals directly on the textile fabric. Cedarchests and closets may deter moths but do notkill moths at all stages of their development.Cedar has no effect on carpet beetles.

What is best to store textile items in? The bestis acid-free boxes and acid-free tissue paper.However, those items can be expensive and costcan add up if you have several items. Washed,unbleached cotton muslin can be used to protectthe textiles and to line boxes or containers. Washthe muslin yearly to retain its neutral state.

Ordinary cardboard, metal and wooden boxescontain acid that can migrate from the containerto the textile item. Using the unbleached muslinor acid-free tissue can reduce that acid migrationand better protect the textile item.

Plastics should not be used for storage as theymay not allow air circulation. Moisture that istrapped inside tightly sealed plastic covers canresult in mildew. Plastics also attract dustbecause of the static electricity generated.

Textile items should be stored flat if possible.Have as few folds as possible if flat storage is notpossible. Refold items occasionally to distributethe wear. Textile items can also be loosely rolledonto acid-free cardboard tubes.

Fragile items should not be hung. If items aresturdy enough to be hung, pad the hanger withpolyester fiberfill and then add the garment.Cover stored textiles with acid free tissue orwashed unbleached muslin, not plastic bags.

Clean old textiles only if the process will notaffect the color, shape or strength of the fabric.Color loss, bleeding, shrinkage and distortioncan result. Do not wash old textiles in thewashing machine as your textile item will liter-ally fall apart in most cases due to the agitation.

Correctly cleaning can protect the fabric byremoving materials such as food or grease. Thesematerials attract insect pests.

The correct cleaning procedure varies with thetype of fabric and the type of stain. Handwashing in mild detergent may be used in somecases; others may require spot cleaning ratherthan the whole item. Dry cleaning is appropriatefor some textile items but not all. Discuss withyour dry cleaner the options available.

One final thing to do with your textile heirloomis to take a photograph of the item and writedown the history of the heirloom. Each heirloomusually has a history.

by Lee Pitts

The cattleman sitting in one of thepadded seats at the Arkansas auction wasragged out in some fancy doodads. Helooked like a walking-talking Shepler'smail order catalog with his 100% pressedcotton shirt and boots so fine you could seethe wrinkles in his socks. Mr. B was thekind of fellow very much appreciated atauction markets: a man with enough moneythat everybody in the place called him"Mister."

The day of my visit a special replacementcow sale was taking place and the cowscame into the auction ring one at a time.(This is one of the big differences with theway cattle are sold in the South versus theWest).

Mr. B bid with the confidence of an orderbuyer spending other people's money. Whenthe first cow came into the ring Mr. B bidwith a barely noticeable nod of his headbut, much to everyone's surprise, anewcomer to the auction had the audacityto bid against Mr. B. No one had ever seenthe stranger at the auction before. "Hemust be from Texas," Mr. B mumbled. Witha much louder voice he announced to hissmall crowd of admirers, "No foreigner fromTexas is going to come to Arkansas and buyall the cows away from me!"

Much to the pleasure of the auctioneer,and the consignors, every cow became abidding battle between Mr. B and the sunweathered stranger. Mr. B would bid andthe foreigner would raise it. But Mr. Bsimply would not let the stranger buy acow. The bidding was so fast and furiousthat the auctioneer could barely keep up. Itwas like a game of checkers on steroidswith each man taking his rapid turn.

I’d seen this game played many timesbefore at auctions all over the country butusually it was played by order buyers whowould team up to not let a newcomer buyany cattle. It was a way of freezing out anynew competition in the future and, surpris-ingly, the tactic usually worked.

Between keeping track of his purchasesand bidding, Mr. B barely had time to lookin the ring at the quality of the merchan-dise he was buying. Mr. B glared deadlydaggers at the stranger every time he’d bidand in the process of freezing out theoutsider Mr. B bought an interestingassortment of cows. There were cows in hispen so poor even their shadows had holes inthem. Others were burnt till they lookedlike a brand book. Mr. B bought an assort-ment of brush snakes, buttermilk cows,horned jackrabbits and mealy nosed, twistyhorned crossbreds in every description and

every stage of pregnancy. If the strangershowed even the slightest interest in ananimal Mr. B bought the beast away fromhim.

Mr. B said to no one in particular, “Thisguy must own half of Texas by the way he’dbidding. I bet he’s got a hundred oil wellson his property too.”

The only time the price dropped and Mr. Bcould take a break from his bidding waswhen the stranger went to the crumb castleto fetch a snack. Well into the evening thelast cow was sold. Mr. B was trying to keepa lid on his can of cuss words as he talliedhis purchases. In the final analysis he hadbought a few more cattle than he’dintended. Five loads more in fact! But atleast he had not let the well-to-do strangerbuy any cattle. He’d bet they’d never seehim around these parts ever again.

As he was leaving Mr. B. saw the strangerget in his pickup, a small Toyota withwooden racks and many miles on it. "Whereyou from stranger?" Mr. B asked. "You fromTexas?"

"No, I'm from right here in Conway. Ihave a little half acre out behind the houseand just needed something to mow thegrass. You sure could have saved yourself alot of money today," laughed the stranger. "Ionly needed one cow."

Three Bills to Halt Over-Regulationby Senator Mike Johanns

Lifting federal regulations that smother jobcreators and stifle economic growth remains atop priority. I introduced three bills earlier thismonth to help temper the currentAdministration's quest for regulatory power.This three-fold approach would throw up animmediate roadblock to federal overreach, whileconfronting situations in which theAdministration is evading Congress to pursueits own agenda.

The first bill I introduced attacks the problemdirectly: a two-year moratorium on the growingmountain of proposed regulations that wouldcost job creators billions. The ObamaAdministration doesn't dispute the enormoussize of this mountain. It has proposed 219 regu-lations that would cost more than $100 million,6 of which would cost more than $1 billion each.My bill would halt these and many other regu-lations dead in their tracks.

In some areas where Congress has notgranted certain authority to regulatory agen-cies, the Administration has continued at fullspeed anyway by issuing "guidance documents."These documents ignore Congress and createuncertainty for our job creators and ag

producers. The second bill would eliminate thisloophole. Like rules required by Congress,agency-initiated guidance documents would besubject to Congressional Review. This would notonly rein in aggressive federal overreach, butpreserve the balance of powers.

My third bill focuses on a specific concern forour farmers and ranchers: the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA)'s effort to regulatefarm dust. Anyone who's plowed a field ordriven a truck on a gravel road knows farm dustis simply a fact of life. Regardless, EPA isconsidering plans that would bring down thehammer on American agriculture by severelyregulating everyday farm dust – despite therebeing absolutely no scientific evidence it isharmful.

Administrator Lisa Jackson and other EPAofficials have been telling farmers differently inrecent months. EPA has no plan to increaseregulations on farm dust, they say. Yet actionsspeak louder than words. It's a fact that EPAcontinues its review of the National AmbientAir Quality Standards for Particulate Matter,which includes farm dust. In April, a finalreview proposed cutting the dust standard in

half. This would cripple farmers and ranchers'ability to operate, for no clear environmentalbenefit. To confront this, I signed a letter withnine of my colleagues asking EPA not to regu-late farm dust.

In response, an EPA official told us the agencyis not considering the source of dust. In otherwords, they don't care where the dust comesfrom or whether farmers and ranchers canavoid kicking it up – they contend the law forcesthem to regulate it. My farm dust legislationwould make it inescapably clear: EPA mustconsider the source of dust, and they cannotregulate farm dust without first providingscientific justification and then applying a littlecommon sense.

It is Congress' responsibility to rein in theObama Administration's overreach, and that'sexactly what these bills would do. They makesense at a time when agencies are senselesslyexpanding their grip on federal power. In anuncertain economy, our job creators andproducers need certainty, and I will work tire-lessly to get these bills passed.

Washington, DC 20510

Two hundred million dollars is a lot of money.Two hundred million dollars is the amount Irecently helped cut from a major budget. Ittotals a 5.2 percent reduction in spending fromthat budget and is an effort to lead by example,so Washington can return to fiscal sanity.

Admittedly, it’s not a lot when compared to 14trillion dollars, which is the size of the nationaldebt, but wouldn’t it be nice if every branch ofthe federal government would cut two hundredmillion from its budget?

Even cutting just a “little bit” like that, prettysoon, you could balance the budget.

To use a variation of a popular phrase coinedby the late Senator Everett Dirksen years ago,“200 million here and 200 million there, andpretty soon you’re talking real money.”

Cutting Senate and House BudgetsAs most Nebraskans know from all the years

I served as Governor and Senator, I’m a fiscalconservative with a history of cutting budgetsand I have taken that philosophy to the Senate.

I am Chairman of the Senate AppropriationSubcommittee on the Legislative Branch. That

subcommittee has control over the budgets ofsuch things as the Library of Congress, CapitolPolice, Congressional Budget Office,Government Accountability Office, CapitolVisitors Center and the office budgets ofmembers of the Senate and the House.

I have a bully pulpit when it comes to thesebudgets that are under our control. So, I’vecrafted a bipartisan bill that cuts spending by5.2 percent below this year ’s spending.Furthermore, the Senate bill cuts spendingmore than the House version. The House billcuts the 2012 Legislative Branch spending by 5percent.

In the Senate, I’ve worked closely withSenator John Hoeven of North Dakota, theranking member on our committee, to makestrategic, sensible and real cuts.

A History of CutsWhen I became Legislative Branch

Subcommittee chairman several years ago thefirst thing I did was to hold down spending. Thesecond year I held spending flat; no increase.The third year I cut the Senate’s budget by 5

percent. This year we’re cutting spending by 5.2percent for all of Congress, which includessenators’ office accounts, including my ownoffice.

The cuts we’ve made to the budget that runsfrom October 1st until the end of September2012 are real. They amount to several hundredmillion dollars in less spending.

The example we offer can be a model for all ofWashington to follow on how to cut spendingacross the federal government. What ifeveryone cut their budgets by 5.2 percent?

Lead By ExampleThis effort builds on my sense of the Senate

resolution that the Senate overwhelminglyapproved last March to lead by example and cutits own budget by 5 percent. My hope is thatthis will serve as a clear example of howWashington can get off its spending binge andget onto its much-needed diet.

If we all do our part, even if it seems small inthe big picture, we can reduce the deficit andbalance the budget, which will strengthen theeconomy and create jobs.

The primary role of the Nebraska Departmentof Environmental Quality (NDEQ) is to helpensure that our state’s natural resources areprotected from contamination. Nebraskans cantake pride in the high quality of Nebraska’s air,land and water.

Under the direction of Mike Linder, the 215employees of NDEQ work with businesses,communities and individuals toward thecommon goal of protecting the environment.NDEQ’s permitting; compliance, remediation,monitoring, and assistance programs aredesigned to help achieve this goal.

NDEQ’s permitting programs establishspecific limits on the types of pollutants thatcan be emitted into the air or discharged intowater. Emission limits in air quality permitshelp ensure that Nebraska’s outdoor aircomplies with all health standards. The agencyalso enforces rules to ensure wastewater isbeing properly treated, and that a variety of

types of wastes are being managed, treated anddisposed of properly. These activities aredesigned to help protect our streams and lakesas well as the state’s groundwater.

If contamination occurs, NDEQ’s remediationprograms make sure that proper investigationand cleanup procedures are followed so thatcontamination is removed and public healthand the environment are protected.

The monitoring programs measure the qualityof Nebraska’s rivers, lakes, groundwater andoutdoor air across the state. This informationhelps to establish whether there are areaswithin the state that have particular environ-mental challenges.

In addition to making sure environmentallaws are followed, NDEQ also provides tech-nical and financial assistance to communities,businesses and individuals. Financial assis-tance is provided to recycling and waste reduc-tion efforts, lake restoration and other water

quality projects, and projects to update orreplace wastewater treatment facilities.

All of us can be a part of these efforts toprotect Nebraska’s natural resources. At thelocal level, we can become involved in recyclingand waste reduction efforts. We can look formore efficient ways to use energy - in fact,making new cans with recycled aluminum usesup to 95% less energy. Likewise, recyclingpaper helps protect our environment. Each tonof paper recycled prevents 60 pounds of airpollution, and saves 17 trees and 7,000 gallonsof water.

Pitch in on litter cleanup efforts in yourcommunity. Become involved in local improve-ment projects, such as community lake restora-tion projects and park improvement efforts. Formore information about NDEQ, visit their website at www.deq.state.ne.us.

Corn trade has slipped further this week with tradedown sharply into Thursday morning. An early weekrally gave way to long liquidation from continued eco-nomic concerns. The weekly net change is 15 lower onthe December Chicago contract so far. The Fridayclose low is over $1.41 off the summer high printedabout 4 weeks ago. The long commodity funds havebeen big sellers and may go to the sidelines waitingon a bigger correction. They see risk in staying longmarkets near the historic highs, especially grainsaround harvest time. The fund liquidation driven byworld wide economic concerns have also helped to pro-mote a stronger dollar. Commodity funds are sellinggold, silver, and copper, and shifting their holding intodollars and treasury bonds. Supply and demand fun-damentals remain supportive; South Korea has beennoted as an active corn buyer this week, and proces-sor and export basis bids have firmed, especially inthe east. Despite the expected decline in harvestedacres, harvest pressure and uncertainty regardingthe upcoming Quarterly Stocks have kept marketbulls on the defensive. That report is expected to givethe trade a better indication of what demand itemshave been over the last quarter. The market has cor-rected this week, but market bears expect that recentand current prices have rationed demand, whichshould lead to a higher stocks number at the end ofthe month. The weekly crop progress report onMonday listed the crop as 63% mature versus the 65%5-year average. Harvest was estimated at 15% com-plete versus the 16% 5-year average. The crop ratingswere unchanged at 51% good to excellent. The weeklyexport sales were within expectations at 787,900 tons.Hedgers call with questions.

Chicago K City MinneapolisSupport: 599 695 786Resistance 690 777 928

Wheat trade has been mixed this week, withstrength in Minneapolis helping to fuel a brief rally,and putting the appearance of a double bottom insome of the charts. Wednesday’s selloff spilled overfrom the outside markets and took the Chicago andKansas City contracts back near their recent lows,while Minneapolis was able to hang on to much of thegains since Friday. The weekly net change is 2 loweron the December Chicago contract, KC is down 18,and Minneapolis is up 10. The Chicago December con-tract has re-established its premium to Decembercorn for the moment. If this is sustained it will beginto crimp the feed wheat demand that emerged thissummer with the discounts to corn. Weather itemsremain supportive with continued dryness in theHRW belt, and Argentina’s wheat growing areas.Conditions are expected to remain dry for the next 7-10 days, so the trade may remain choppy into theUSDA quarterly stocks report at the end of the month.Argentina lowered expectations on its wheat crop 11-13 million metric tons, down from last year’s 14.4.The downward chart trend is intact, but there aresigns of bottoming in the near term. Long-term sup-port is down at the low of the move at 6.24 Chicago.Spillover direction from the grains and outside mar-kets however, will continue to direct trade. Feedwheat interest was noted from Asia. Winter wheatplanting came in at 26%, 9% below the 5 year average,and emergence was at 6%, below the 5 year average at10%. Exports were within expectations at 428,900metric tons.

November 2011 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade slid sharply midweek as the outsidemarket driven rally Monday and the first half ofTuesday, shifted into an outside market driven sell-offas widespread selling again arose from macro nerv-ousness. The weekly net change is over 24 lower as ofWednesday closing, November futures were $2.31below the summer high printed in late August. Mealis around $41 lower on the week and $71 off its highs;bean oil is down 487 points on the week and downnearly 733 points from its high. On the chart, thetrade has moved below support at 12.50, and hasplaced new lows for the year at 12.21.The trend is cer-tainly down and nearby support is down at the 12.00psychological level. South Korea was active is seekingsoybeans this week, and the trade continues to hint atfurther Chinese interest. Processor and exporterbasis bids have firmed as farmer selling has stoppedfor the moment. Ahead of Friday’s quarterly grainstocks, the trade continues to debate how much highprices have slowed demand this summer with manylooking for higher than expected stocks. On the week-ly report, good to excellent ratings were unchanged at53% good to excellent as the growing season windsdown. The crop progress report had 58% of the crop isnow dropping leaves versus the 68% 5-year average.Initial harvest progress was seen at 5% below the 5year average of 11%. The weekly export sales exceed-ed forecasts coming in at 1.0335 million metric tons.Soymeal exports were towards the high side of expec-tations at 125,000 metric tons. Soy Oil export saleswere within expectations at 4.500 metric tons for the2011/12 marketing year. If Friday’s report leaves asolid bottom, there should be an opportunity forhedgers to cover early sales with calls in the nearterm.

Managing the North Platte River during thepast 12 months has kept officials along the mainwater artery of southeastern Wyoming andwestern Nebraska on high alert. Larger thannormal releases were passed down the river lastwinter and early spring, disrupting farming andeveryday life. A look at the Sept. 1 water supplyand utilization report from the U.S. Bureau ofReclamation office in Mills, Wyo., reveals theextent of the water supply that harassedproducers throughout the summer. It gives a goodidea of the amount of water that came down-stream from the headwaters in the RockyMountains of Colorado and Wyoming.

Final numbers for Water Year 2011 (October2010-September 2011) will be available after Oct. 1

Under normal conditions, by September, flowsin the North Platte are slowing down and irriga-tion districts are taking the last of their require-ments for the growing season. The reduced flowsthis year will not be as much as they were in 2010,

according to water officials, because they are stillmanaging outflows of the upstream reservoirs forfuture storage as needed.

According to the latest numbers, SeminoeReservoir, the first on the North Platte inWyoming, has experienced an inflow of 2,297,700acre-feet of water during Water Year 2011 (Oct. 1,2010 through Sept. 30, 2011). Its storage capacityis 1,017,300 acre-feet. It has released 2,203,400acre-feet as of Aug. 31.

The Seminoe total outflow for WY 2011 is 252percent of the 30-year average, while Pathfinder'sis 233 percent of the 30-year average. The otherfive reservoirs along the river have also hadoutflows of more than 200 percent of the 30-yearaverage, at more than 2,000,000 acre-feet each.

During August, above average outflows occurredat all North Platte reservoirs. Glendo andGuernsey reservoir numbers were considerablyahead of previous years because of a late silt run.Their 30-year averages are 279,900 acre-feet atGlendo, and 292,100 acre-feet at Guernsey. Thisyear Glendo released 458,600 acre-feet, and

448,400 acre-feet passed through GuernseyReservoir.

August storage was near or above average for allNorth Platte River reservoirs. The total for allseven was 2,316,500 acre-feet. This is 83 percentof the total storage capacity of the system's reser-voirs, which is 2,787,800 acre-feet.

With Seminoe at 905,800 acre-feet, it was at 139percent of the 30-year average. Pathfinder, with796,100 acre-feet, was at 152 percent. Glendo wasat 273 percent of the 30-year average, with399,600 acre-feet.

Ownership in the North Platte Project, whichserves eastern Wyoming and western Nebraska,was 702,500 acre-feet, or 143 percent of the492,100 acre-foot 30-year average. Storagecapacity of the project is 1,062,100 acre-feet.

The Inland Lakes were also above average atthe end of August. Lake Minatare was at 24,165acre-feet, and Lake Alice held 3,947 acre-feet.Little Lake Alice ended the month with 367 acre-feet, and Lake Winters Creek held 837 acre-feet.

Irrigation Season Ends, Cautious Water Management Continues

AG NEWSCOMMODITIES

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub

KEARNEY - North Platte Basin water manage-ment has not been for the faint of heart the pasttwo years because of a surprise, late-spring surgeof water in 2010 and more record-breaking runoffin 2011.

Managers are taking a better-safe-than-sorryapproach for 2012.

"We're at least planning and positioningourselves from the standpoint of dealing withanother 2011," said John Lawson of Casper, Wyo.,manager of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation'sWyoming Area office, which manages the basin'sfederal reservoirs.

Lawson and North Platte Natural ResourcesDistrict General Manager Ron Cacek ofScottsbluff reviewed flooding and water manage-ment issues Monday at the Nebraska Associationof Resources Districts annual conference inKearney.

Lawson said irrigators in eastern Wyoming andthe Nebraska Panhandle are concerned thatwater released now or in the early spring won't beavailable for their crops next summer. "But from arisk standpoint, this is a very prudent thing todo," he said. "... I keep pushing the dividends ofearly action."

Lawson said the Wyoming reservoirs now hold2,041,689 acre-feet of water, but the system willbe down to 2 million a-f by Saturday.

Those reservoirs have combined storage of 2.8million a-f - about 1 million a-f each in Seminoeand Pathfinder - which compares to 1.7 million a-f in Central Nebraska Public Power and IrrigationDistrict's Lake McConaughy. Lawson said thatexcept for a small flood pool set aside in Glendo

Reservoir, all other water storage in Wyoming isfor water conservation.

Seventy percent of the water supply upstream ofthe Wyoming-Nebraska state line is from snow-pack, and 80 percent of the basin's annual supplycomes in April through July.

2011 forecasts too lowWater managers try to project water supplies

about one year ahead for planning and then createminimum and maximum plans. For 2011, themaximum April-July forecast above SeminoeReservoir was 1.3 million acre-feet.

"I looked at that and thought I'd never want tohave to deal with a maximum plan, and then weexceeded that by 600,000 a-f," Lawson said.

Actual April-July inflows this year were a record1,969,400 acre-feet, or 276 percent of the 30-yearaverage. Lawson and Cacek said the fact thatthere was only moderate flooding in the basin isdue to the work of water managers throughout thebasin and some help from Mother Nature.

In 2010, Glendo area (southeast Wyoming)precipitation in the April-July period was 243percent of average, further complicating flood-control plans. In 2011, it was 138 percent ofaverage.

"This is the thing that kept me up all night,every night," Lawson said about wondering how tomanage a record 2011 snowmelt and possiblydouble the average precipitation downstream.

At least water managers could make some pre-emptive decisions for 2011, including fall andearly spring releases of water from reservoirs."This year is gonna have all the records, but itwon't be known for all the floods, and that's finewith me," Lawson said.

Upper basin inflows of around 136 percent ofnormal in 2008 and 2009 were seen as a welcomedstart in refilling drought-depleted reservoirs.Then came the 176 percent of average watersupply in 2010.

"That was a total surprise to everybody,"Lawson said. June was the wettest on record inthe Rocky Mountains that are the Platte Basin'sheadwaters, plus there was rain downstream.

Within the past 10 years, the basin has hadrecord high and record low annual water supplies.

From 2002-2007, the numbers all were belowthe 30-year average. The record low aboveSeminoe of 118,000 a-f, or 15 percent of average,was recorded in 2002.

"All of a sudden, we have more water than weknow what to do with," Cacek said. "... How thingscan change so quickly is incredible."

He recalled hearing many people say in theearly 2000s that Lake McConaughy never wouldfill again. "That didn't turn out to be the case,"Cacek said. "Lake McConaughy filled."

(GRAND ISLAND, NE) Now that the 2011 StateFair is in the books, the Grand IslandGroundwater Guardians are ready to start imple-menting an outdoor learning area in the KidzZone, just north of the 4-H Building. A ground-breaking ceremony will be held on Friday, October7, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. at the site.

The Groundwater Guardians first realized thepotential of educating thousands of people aboutgroundwater and its uses when they received firstplace through a national on-line contest held byRainbird: The Intelligent Use of Water Awards.That first place prize was $10,000 to implementfeatures such as a rain garden, xeric garden,bioswale, gazebo, willow tunnel, prairie maze andtree fort.

Marcia Lee, Groundwater Guardian member,said, “The community was really excited aboutthis project and we wouldn’t have been able tostart the project without their support. We’vereceived a lot of positive feedback from across thestate and even from other states.”

Dave Johnson, Rain Bird Corporation of Tucson,AZ, will be a guest at the groundbreaking cere-mony. The project received 30,597 votes; about1,000 more than any other project in the country.

Gary Mader, project manager, said “The GIGroundwater Team is excited about starting theconstruction of this educational project. It is

designed to provide an attractive greenscape areafor use by Fair-goers while providing educationalopportunities regarding one of our most preciousresources -- groundwater.”

Since the outdoor learning area will be locatedin the Kidz Zone, it will provide the community astimulating place for play, learning, and environ-mental education-- particularly water education.Although the site will be located at the State Fairgrounds, the outdoor learning area will be avail-able year-round to allow educators and the publican educational, leisurely place to enjoy nature.

The Guardians have been working diligently toraise additional funds needed to implement asmany features as possible in the design. RogerAndrews, Guardian team leader, said $37,500 inother grants have been awarded by Vetter HealthServices, Water of the West and Waterwise. A fewprivate donations have also been received. TheGuardians are planning and ordering nativeplants and grasses to be implemented for the 2012Nebraska State Fair.

The cost to develop the entire outdoor area isestimated at $50,000. Those interested in helpingsupport the project may contact: Roger Andrews at(308) 384-5771 or email rajandws@kdsi.net .

Prepare Bins and Equipment Before HarvestTom Dorn, UNL Extension Educator

As we approach harvest, grain bin prepara-tion is a timely subject. Remember, grainharvested in Nebraska is essentially insect-free, but can become infested by storageinsects, which originate in or around the bin orin contaminated equipment such as combinesand grain augers. Following are some tips onhow to prepare bins and equipment to ensureinsect problems are minimized.

First, be sure to store sound, clean, dry grain.It may be advisable to screen out brokengrains, trash, and fines to increase the qualityof the final storage product. Also, the elimina-tion of trash will enhance fumigation, shouldthis procedure be required later.

Since stored-grain insects can invade newgrain from infested harvesting and handlingequipment (combines, augers, etc.), cleanup isessential. Carefully remove all traces of oldgrain from combines, truck beds, grain carts,augers, and any other equipment used forharvesting, transporting, and handling grain.Even small amounts of moldy or insect-infestedgrain left in equipment can contaminate a binof new grain. Then clean grain bins thoroughly,disposing of spilled, cracked, and broken grainand grain flour, along with the insects feedingon such material. A simple broom and a vacuumcleaner are essential pieces of equipment incleaning grain bins.

“How clean is clean enough?” is a questionmany producers ask. A good rule of thumb tofollow when cleaning bins and equipment is: Ifyou can tell what was stored or handled lastseason by looking in the auger, bin, or combine,it is not clean enough to prevent re-contamina-tion of the new crop.

Around the bins, be sure to remove old equip-ment, junk, and clutter to reduce attractive-ness to insects and rodents. Make sure the binis insect and rodent-proofed by plugging holes,sealing bins, caulking, and making generalrepairs. Grain spilled near the bin attractsinsects and draws mice and rats. Clean up anddispose of any spilled grain several weeks priorto harvest. If rats have tunneled under founda-

tions, use baits or traps to reduce or eliminatethem. Tall weeds can harbor insects andprovide cover for rodents. Mow around the binsite to remove tall grass and weeds to reducethe potential for insect and rodent infestation.If necessary, re-grade the site so water readilydrains away from bin foundations. You cannotalways wait for the soil to dry before loading orunloading grain from bin sites. Make certaintravel lanes have enough rock or gravel to bearthe weight of heavy trucks and grain carts.

Landscaping should be maintained awayfrom grain storage facilities. Leave a four-foot-wide strip of bare gravel around the perimeterof storage bins. If purchasing old crop grain forstorage with newly harvested grain, be sure towatch for insects in the incoming grain. Ifinfested grain is purchased for livestock feed,store it away from the new crop, and feed it assoon as possible. Grain stocks may be rotated,or moved and a grain protectant applied at thetime of turning.

Stored grain insects cannot live on extremelydry grain (less than 10%), however it is imprac-tical to reduce grain moisture much belowminimum moisture levels necessary for long-term storage. Insect activity and reproductionare favored, however, by high grain moisture(14% or more), especially when condensationand molds occur, and fermentation raisestemperature in the grain mass. Spoilage andinternal heating allow insects to remain activeeven in the winter. Through proper manage-ment of aeration, you can manipulate graintemperature. Since insects are “cold-blooded,”they are not active much below 50°F, and graincooling can be particularly important inreducing insect reproduction.

Condensation of moisture in the grain mass isprevented by slow cooling and gradual reduc-tion of the gradient between the grain masstemperature and the outside (ambient) temper-ature.

A bin of 19% moisture corn with a startingtemperature of 75°F can lose a full marketgrade in about five days if the aeration systemshuts down, allowing the grain to heat anddeteriorate. Electrical system maintenance

before harvest can prevent costly downtime.Wiring for fans and other electrical componentsshould be inspected for corrosion and cracked,frayed, or broken insulation. Exposed wiringshould be run through waterproof, dust-tightconduit. Avoid kinking the conduit, and makesure all connections are secure.

Mice often nest in control boxes where theyare protected from predators. They can stripinsulation from wires for nest material andtheir urine sometimes causes corrosion onrelays and other electrical components. Ifrodent damage is found, clean and repair orreplace damaged wiring, relays, and other elec-trical equipment. Then seal over knock-outsand other openings that may permit rodententry.

Fans, heaters, transitions, and ducts shouldbe checked for corrosion and other damage.Remove any accumulated dust and dirt thatmay reduce operating efficiency and be sure allconnections are tight to prevent air leaks thatcan reduce operating efficiency.

Once empty bins have been thoroughlycleaned, a residual treatment may be applied tobin surfaces to protect incoming grain frominsect infestation. Follow label instructionscarefully. The following materials are listed forempty grain bin surface treatments: silicondioxide a.k.a diatomaceous earth (many brandnames). Butylcarityl + Pyrethrins (many brandnames). Some related chemicals includeBinfenthrin (Capture), Pybuthryn (Butacide,Pyrenone Crop Spray)

For bins with false floors, which are inacces-sible for cleaning, chloropicrin, a bin “clean-out” fumigant, is legal to use, prior to binningthe grain. Other fumigants that could be usedon empty bins would be magnesium phosphideand methyl bromide. Caution! Fumigants aredangerous, restricted-use pesticides, and mayrequire gas monitoring devices and respiratorprotection for the applicator. It is highly recom-mended fumigation be done by a commercialpesticide applicator who has been trained andEPA/NDA-certified in safe fumigant handlingand application techniques. Refer to currentlabels for specific details and instructions.

U.S. pork producers are receiving a positivereturn on their Checkoff investment in interna-tional markets through the U.S. Meat ExportFederation (USMEF), according to a study by Dr.Harry Kaiser, the Gellert Family Professor ofApplied Economics and Management, at CornellUniversity.

The economic analysis of USMEF’s ExportMarket Development Programs was commis-sioned by USMEF to quantify the returns that theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s ForeignAgriculture Service and the Pork Checkoffprograms received from their investments inUSMEF’s export market development programs.The study also quantified the contribution ofUSMEF’s programs to the growth in exports thathas occurred over the past decade. Producerinvestments account for roughly 50 percent ofUSMEF’s expenditures on export promotionprograms and the Foreign Agriculture Servicefunds account for the other half.

"It’s important to producers to understand andquantify the value of their investments," saidCraig Christensen, chair of the Pork Checkoff ’sTrade Committee and a producer from Ogden,Iowa. "The results indicated a positive impact ofexport market development and promotion onimports of U.S. pork."

Specifically, the study found:•An average annual increase in net pork

industry revenue due to USMEF’s programsranging from $39.9 million to $169.7 million

•A contribution of 324 million lbs. per year tothe growth of U.S. Pork exports over the past 10years and

•A median return on investment of dollars at$7.42 to $1.

The research was conducted using an economicmodel which utilized statistical procedures to helpresearchers account for the impact of a variety offactors that affected import demand, includingprice of imports of U.S. pork, price of imports ofpork from other countries, consumer income inimporting countries, exchange rates and USMEFexpenditures on pork export market development.

Eight importing regions, accounting for 82percent of U.S. Pork exports, were used in themodel. Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong, EU,Japan, Taiwan, China and Russia Mexico andJapan had the highest gains in imports due toexport market development.

The USMEF has been performing market devel-opment activities in numerous markets since1976, with the goal of increasing demand for U.S.Pork by improving product image, increasingmarket presence, promoting total carcass utiliza-tion and providing trade support. Nearly 24percent of U.S. Pork and pork variety meatproduction was exported in 2010.

The National Pork Board has responsibility forCheckoff-funded research, promotion andconsumer information projects and for communi-cating with pork producers and the public.Through a legislative national Pork Checkoff,pork producers invest $0.40 for each $100 value ofhogs sold. The Pork Checkoff funds national andstate programs in advertising, consumer informa-tion, retail and foodservice marketing, exportmarket promotion, production improvement, tech-nology, swine health, pork safety and environ-mental management. For information onCheckoff-funded programs, pork producers cancall the Pork Checkoff Service Center at (800) 456-PORK or check the Internet at www.pork.org.

Study Finds Pork Producers Receive Return on Investment inUSMEF’s Market Development Programs

By Larry Sitzman, NPPA Executive Director

Nebraska has a breeding herd inventory of380,000 sows and a kept for market inventory ofover 2,720,000 head. Our breeding herd is 6.5%and our kept for market herd is 4.6% of the totalU.S. inventory. There are about 7.5 million pigsmarketed annually in Nebraska. According toour market report there was $737,288,448 worthof gross market value of hogs sold in 2010.

Each market pig consumes 12.82 bushels ofcorn and 183 lbs of soybean meal. Nebraska pigsutilized about 90,000,000 bushels of corn withan average value of $4.00 per bushel or$360,000,000 worth of corn. Nebraska pigsutilized about 1,372,500,000 lbs of soybean mealwith an average value of .1250 cents per poundor about $171,562,500 worth of soybean meal.

The 2010 estimated export value of every hogmarketed was $56.89 and 19.01% of all porkmarketed was exported. In reality about$68,436,000 worth of corn and $32,614,031worth of soybean meal was exported in the formof value added pork from Nebraska.

This safe, abundant, humanely managed,quality, consistency and value productionmiracle is supported by hundreds of producers,millers, truckers, grain producers, buyers,packer employees and countless others addingmillions to Nebraska’s economy.

Auctioneers —Don’t miss your opportunity to get your auction bills in front of this audience across the Midwest!

By Chabella Guzman, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

BUSHNELL - Nestled in the farmland justoutside of Bushnell is the Irish Cream SheepDairy. That's right, a sheep dairy.

The dairy has been growing over the pasteight years, when Virginia and Bill Halligandecided to diversify their farm.

"We moved here 35 years ago," Virginia said."I'm from Colorado and Bill is from SouthDakota, and this place is about halfwaybetween our families."

It also helped that Bill took a job at FirstNational Bank in Kimball. They then found aplace they could afford, about 480 acres nearBushnell, which is about 25 miles west ofKimball.

"It worked out well for us," she said. "Withnot very many acres we went with sheep, ascattle need more acres."

For about 30 years the Halligans raised meatsheep, but after Virginia remembered anarticle she read when the children were in highschool, she began to think of diversifying theranch.

"The article was about a sheep dairy incentral Nebraska. I said, 'My sheep can dothis.'"

"We had a 200 percent lamb crop, so nearlyevery ewe was having twins, and I knew itcould work."

The couple researched the market and foundthere was very little research on the sheepdairies. So they have been building their dairyby trial and error. A positive they had workingfor them was that Virginia had grown up on adairy farm, and her son Cody had recentlybeen working at a dairy of 2,700 head.

"I called up my son and said I was thinkingof diversifying the farm and was going to bemilking sheep," she said. "He came home andhelps me manage the dairy."

The dairy now milks 24 head of ewes at atime, and about 350-400 ewes. The dairy bags

1,200 pounds of milk every morning about fourpounds of milk per ewe.

"We are getting towards the end of thelactating so it's not as heavy right now as attheir (ewes) peak," Virginia said.

In order to grow the business and be moreefficient, the dairy is trying to alternate thebreeding season so they can milk year round.

"Our dairy had 200 ewes, lamb in December,200 in January, 200 in February, April andMay and close to 100 in July," she said. "We aregetting close to lambing again soon.

"The ewe will build her milk productionaccording to birth," Virginia said. "So in theorythe ewe will produce for twins."

A single birth will mean less milk produc-tion. Virginia and Cody pull the baby lambsfrom their mothers around six to 12 hours afterbirth, resulting in 30 percent more milk fromthe ewes.

Virginia takes special care of the baby lambs,as many of them will be replacement milkingewes.

"We keep back replacement lambs as thereare very few dairy sheep in the U.S., and wehad to build our own genetics pool as we went,"she said.

The baby lambs are sent to a barn wherethey learn to take milk from plastic nipples.People will help push the babies to the "LambBar" as Virginia calls it. Once the lambs go tothe nipples on their own, they are moved toanother table pen where they can still be moni-tored for a few more days before they move tooutside lots.

The outside pens hold around 50 lambs,which would seem a problem to feed, but inno-vation on Cody's part keeps the lambs satiatedat all times. A long narrow barn runs thelength of several pens with nipples that faceoutside so the baby lambs can come up when-ever they desire, simulating having a motherall the time to feed from.

The nipple system runs on gravity flow andis quite possibly the only one of its kind. The

milk for the lambs is kept inside in a tank thatuses gravity to flow milk to the lambs whenthey come up to feed. Cody designed and builtthe system.

"For the first few years we did our ownmilking and used little machines to feed thelambs. The machines had thermostats andagitators," she said. "They were expensive, andif there were electrical problems the lambscould be without milk, and then we would havesick lambs."

In the United States and Canada there areonly about 100 sheep dairies, so getting ewesor bucks for their dairy has been challenging.

For the past six to seven years the Halliganshave been running about 800 head of ewes, inorder to build up the ewes' genetics so they willproduce more volume at one time.

Virginia said they started with a flock ofDorset sheep and had hoped to cross them withEast Friesian and Lacaune dairy sheep. Theproblem was there weren't any to be found asonly a handful had come across from Canadabefore the border was closed.

"Now that we've built up our genetics, we'regoing back and being more selective," she said."We're looking at lactation, udder size, teatplacement, things that make milking andproduction more efficient."

They have also started trying AI (artificialinsemination) with their sheep. The bordersare closed to bringing in live sheep, but semencan be shipped.

"Sheep are difficult to AI," Virginia said. "Sowe were extremely excited when we did get afew from AI. Our goal is to get to the pointwhere we milk fewer ewes and still get thesame production."

The Halligans are in the dairy business forthe long haul, Virginia said. They have a buyerin California and are starting to pick upbuyers in Idaho, Utah and Colorado.

Business Grows by Gallons

Tina Barrett, Executive DirectorNebraska Farm Business, Inc

Many things in agriculture move fast.Technology is growing and changing rapidly. Inputdealers are knocking on your doors earlier andearlier each year. This summer it seemed likemany producers were dealing with marketingtheir 2010 crop, growing their 2011 crop andmaking input decisions on their 2012 crop. Each ofthese things complicates the tax planning eachyear. Add that to the record high profitabilitymany agricultural producers have seen over thepast five years, and one of the most commoncomments I’m hearing is “I think I’m going to havea tax problem this year.” You’re not alone, but itcreates a need for tax planning to be more thansomething you do two weeks before the end of theyear.

Ten years ago, the income patterns for manyfarmers seemed to be one good year followed byone not so good year, followed by another goodyear. Somewhere along the past decade we lostthat pattern. According to the accrual net farmincome numbers we generate each year, we haveseen five straight years of record high incomes atlevels that were unheard of before this. While thishas been great for the economies of many agricul-turally based states and for the producers them-selves, it does bring us right back to having a taxproblem.

DepreciationAgriculture has been blessed the past few years

with the downturn of the general economy, basedon the fact that due to the need to boost businessspending, we have the opportunity to write offnew asset purchases at a rate that has neverbefore been allowed. In December of 2010,Congress expanded the Bonus Depreciation from50 to 100 percent for 2011 (and the last fewmonths of 2010). This has allowed for the fullwrite-off of a new machine shed for the first timein history. There has been some confusion about

this ability by those tax preparers who are notfamiliar with the special laws associated withfarming. Most building’s life classes are muchmore than 20 years, depending on their use. Butfarm buildings specifically have a designated lifeclass of 20 years. Since the bonus depreciation’sdefinition is for new assets with a life class of 20years or less, machine sheds are included. Thishas made getting a building up and “placed inservice” before the end of the year a challenge formost building companies, but if you can get itdone, it’s a great deal. There is no limit on theamount of Bonus Depreciation you can use, butremember, it does have to be a brand new asset(first use, not just new to you).

For those used assets, we continue to haveSection 179 Expense Election, which allows eachtaxpayer with a trade or business to write-off upto $500,000 of new or used capital assets with alife class of less than 20 years. They also limityour use of Section 179 if you purchase more than$2 million worth of qualified assets, so someproducers will need to be aware of this.

There has started to be some talk in Congress ofagain extending the amount of time to use both ofthese accelerated depreciation options. At thistime, the bonus depreciation will expire at the endof 2011, and the Section 179 limit will fall to$125,000 ($1 million purchase limit) for 2012, andagain to $25,000 for 2013. Without Congressionalaction it seems that 2011 could be the year to takeadvantage of these benefits. The question movingforward will be, if the need to stimulate theeconomy by offering this to businesses will begreater than the need to generate more incometaxes by letting it expire.

Income AveragingAny high income year is a good time to evaluate

the use of income averaging, since it allows us totake a high income year and spread it evenly overthe past three years and recalculate the tax as ifthe income was earned in those years. Due to themuch higher incomes we’ve been seeing it’s also

important to think about amending past returns,using it if you didn’t already in those years. Forexample, if your incomes from 2008, 2009 and2010 were as follows: $100,000, $50,000 and$50,000, respectively, and you didn’t use incomeaveraging in 2008, you can elect to amend thatreturn now, carry as much income back into 2005,2006 and 2007 as you can, which will make moreroom for this year’s income to be taxed at a lowerlevel. It’s not an easy process and your taxpreparer may not want to do the work, but if thecircumstances are right, it can be a way to save alot of tax.

Entity StructuresIt seems the higher incomes are driving more

producers to think about the option to incorporateor find some tax savings through an entity. We arealso struggling to control incomes within some oldcorporate structures. These are complicatedtopics, but it may be a topic to raise with your taxpreparer this year.

General Tax PlanningThere are so many issues for many agricultural

producers that it seems year-end tax planning isjust not enough anymore. Many producers I workwith have added pre-harvest tax planning, as wellas looking two years out at a time to make surethat the decisions they make this fall don’t comeback to haunt them next year. The old planningstrategy of putting off paying any tax for a badyear is getting harder to adhere to. For a lot ofproducers I work with, the amount of grain theyhave in carryover inventory is equal to, or in somecases greater than, a whole year’s production.With crop insurance, it is impossible to plan for atotal disaster year with no income, therefore, thenumber of “bad years” in a row that would need tooccur in order to use up inventories is so large itisn’t realistic. This may be the year that we needto consider changing “the plan” and paying the taxwhile the rates are still relatively low.

“I Think I’m Going to Have a Tax Problem This Year”

brings the first onset of frost or freezingtemperatures to south Central Nebraska andnorth central Kansas.

According to the weather service, at severallocations, the morning of Sept. 22 brought thefirst 36-degree-or-colder readings of theseason, with a few sites, including Cambridgeand Alton, reaching 32 for the first time,though no widespread, killing frost hasoccurred.

The weather service said that for the GrandIsland area, the average date when the temper-ature drops to 36 degrees or lower is Sept. 29over the last 30 years. That average hasalready been broken this year as Grand Islandrecorded 36 degrees on Sept. 23.

The average date for the temperature toreach 32 degrees or colder in Grand Islandduring the last 30 years is Oct. 8, and theaverage date for the temperature to drop to 28degrees or lower is Oct. 15.

According to the weather service, since 1981,the earliest the temperature dropped to 32degrees or lower was Sept. 19, 1991, and thelatest date was Oct. 26, 2007.

So far, in September, the weather servicereports it has been a cooler and drier monththan average, with the average daily tempera-ture 5 degrees below what September tempera-tures have averaged over the last 30 years.Rainfall so far this month has been 1.13 inchesbelow the average for the last 30 years.

The average daytime high and nighttime lowfor late September for the Grand Island area,according to the weather service, are 72 and 46,respectively.

This month's nearly ideal early fall weatherwill continue through the beginning of nextweek, with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40sand 50s and no precipitation in the forecast.

US - A study assessing the impact of trace-ability and animal identification programmeson the international market for red meat hasbeen released by the US Meat ExportFederation (USMEF).

Conducted by researchers at Kansas StateUniversity, Colorado State University andMontana State University, the study assessesthe potential impact on US producers andprocessors of evolving thinking about animalID and traceability in leading export marketsand traceability systems that have alreadybeen put in place by other major beef and porkexporting countries.

The study – Economic Assessment of EvolvingRed Meat Export Market Access Requirementsfor Traceability of Livestock and Meat – pointsout that the US and India are the only twomajor beef exporters that do not already havemandatory traceability systems. Argentina,Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Canada andUruguay all have animal identification/trace-ability programmes in place.

In addition to the traceability systems ofexporting nations, the report, which wascommissioned by USMEF on a contractawarded based on a request for proposal,provides an analysis of the domestic cattletraceability systems employed by selectedmajor importers of US beef. Of special note,Japan and Korea, among the highest valuemarkets for US red meat exports, have adoptedmandatory traceability programmes whichcould eventually lead to similar requirementsbeing applied to imports.

Finally, the report compares the sanitary andphytosanitary restrictions imposed on themajor beef exporters by the top importing coun-tries. For some exporting nations, such asAustralia and New Zealand, there are no

restrictions imposed by trading partners.Brazil and Argentina face FMD (foot and mouthdisease)-related restrictions and traceabilitysystems are critical for exports from theseSouth American countries which are notentirely free of FMD.

The United States faces BSE-related productand age restrictions from a number of majorimporting countries (Japan, South Korea,Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia and Mexico) as wellas restrictions from the European Union basedon hormone use. In addition, China’s beefmarket remains closed to imports from theUnited States due to BSE-related restrictions.

The report notes that competing beefexporting nations are using their industries’mandatory traceability systems as marketingtools to enhance their sales and as a point ofdifferentiation with the US industry.

While market access and producer prof-itability have been important factors inexporting countries’ decisions to establishtraceability systems, the report concludes thatanimal health management and food safety arethe primary drivers behind most countries’decisions to build animal ID and traceabilityinto the regulatory frameworks for their live-stock industries. Improved supply chain coordi-nation and enhanced producer managementopportunities are secondary motivators.

"The most widely recognised internationalanimal health, food safety, and trade organiza-tions have endorsed animal ID programmes asessential components of food animal productionand meat product trade. In response, majorbeef exporters and importers have developedmandatory animal ID and traceabilitysystems," the report states.

"As more countries adopt animal and meattracking systems, those early adopters of live-

stock and meat traceability systems have theopportunity to gain significant market advan-tages through increased consumer confidence."

"Countries with well-developed mandatoryanimal identification and traceabilityprogrammes enjoy comparative advantages inred meat exports relative to countries withoutsuch systems,” the researchers add. “They arebetter positioned to respond quickly to crisissituations and mitigate potential damages."

The value of the research report was empha-sised by Leann Saunders, president of IMIGlobal, a member of USMEF’s executivecommittee and chairperson of the USMEFworking group on traceability.

"When you first consider the value of theexport market to US cattle and hog producers,with export value this July equating to $236.88per head of fed cattle harvested and $59.35 perhead for hogs – there is no denying the impor-tance of exports for US producers," said MsSaunders.

“As we have seen in the beef industryengaged in voluntary USDA PVP and QSA veri-fication programmes for countries like Japanand the EU – countries that have export verifi-cation requirements specific to animal identifi-cation and traceability – it can work effec-tively."

"Since we are currently exporting about 16per cent of total US beef and variety meatproduction and 29 per cent of pork, traceabilityis a form of insurance that would insulateAmerican producers in the event thatimporting countries change their importrequirements or in the event of an animaldisease outbreak."

Live cattle trade has been stronger this weekfollowing Friday’s friendly cattle on feed report.The weekly net change is $3.80 higher on theOctober contract and December is up near $4 aswell. Cattle on feed numbers were significantlybelow expectations of 108% of last year, coming inat 99%. Cash trade has been slow to develop thisweek but is called steady; early week calls werefirmer but the sharp increase in futures prices atmidweek may discourage packers from beingactive buyers. Asking prices are firm at $120 live

and $188 dressed. The cutout finished mixed onWednesday with choice down $.05 at $183.00 andselect was up $.15 at $168.81. Significant move-ment of boxed beef has been noted this week, andexport trade remains supportive. Trade shouldremain active due to outside market concerns.Feeder cattle have seen similar strength as theunexpected decline in the number of cattle on feedincreases concerns about diminished availabilitycoming forward.

Lean hog trade has been steady this week; thestrong cattle market has been supportive, but overallthe trade was defensive ahead Wednesday’s quarterlypig report. The weekly net change is $.40 higher onthe October contract and December is up $1.45. Thequarterly pig report was seen as slightly bearish, withheavyweight hogs coming it at 103% vs. 102% expect-ed, farrowings at 100% vs. 99%, and kept for breedingat 101% vs., 100% expected. Initial reaction seemedto point to more selling in the deferred months thannearby. Worldwide economic concerns will continue toweigh on the market as well, as fund selling has pres-sured almost all commodity markets. Export demandand fresh pork sales have been seen as steady toslightly better so far this week.

"It's a huge wealth generator just in wages,"Lemke said, explaining that in non-metro areas,manufacturing jobs tend to provide the highestwages.

Nebraska Public Power District serves 91 of the93 counties - all but Sarpy and Douglas - with theentire area considered non-metro. Lemke's reportshows that non-metro manufacturing jobs have anannual average wage of $39,145, but the ethanolindustry's average is $56,158, or $17,000 more.

The state, which ranks second to Iowa in U.S.ethanol production, has processing capacity formore than 2 billion gallons per year. EthanolBoard Project Manager Steve Sorum said 1.85billion gallons were produced in 2010.

Lemke's report shows that ethanol productionhad direct effects on household income of nearly$85.8 million and total impacts of nearly $251million. That boosts annual retail sales by around$105.4 million.

Direct tax revenues were $19.6 million and thetotal with indirect additions was $32.2 million ayear.

The report doesn't give a dollar figure forethanol's huge impact in replacing oil productsthat would come from imports.

Lemke said total U.S. ethanol production corre-sponds to 867,000 barrels of oil per day. If thatproduction is ranked with crude oil and oil productimports by country in 2010, it would rank betweenNo. 5 Venezuela and No. 6 Iraq.

Nebraska's ethanol capacity would be betweenNo. 13 Kuwait and No. 14 the United Kingdom.

Lemke determined that ethanol continues to add5 to 10 cents per bushel to corn prices.

The ethanol industry also is a boost to NPPDand other energy providers, using 6.7 percent ofNebraska's "native load" overall. Lemke said the23 plants served by NPPD use 12 percent of hisdistrict's production used within Nebraska.

"It's a very good load because it's stable," he said,explaining that stable loads keep costs down whenelectricity is priced because capital costs for manu-facturing plants continue even if they don'toperate all of the time.

ETHANOL WORTH BILLIONS TO NE ECONOMYContinued from page 1

The Department of Natural Resources andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture FarmService Agency today are announcing the addi-tion of the Lodgepole Creek, South Platte andupper Pumpkin Creek areas to the priorityareas eligible to participate in the NebraskaPlatte-Republican Conservation ReserveEnhancement Program (CREP). Theannouncement is being made at Sidney,Nebraska at the U.S. Department ofAgriculture Farm Service Agency’s 25thAnniversary Celebration for the ConservationReserve Program (CRP).

The Nebraska Platte-RepublicanConservation Reserve Enhancement Programwas the first CREP of its kind in the nation. Itwas initiated in 2005 through a Memorandumof Agreement signed by Governor Heinemanand the U.S. Farm Service Agency and its goalwas to convert 100,000 acres of irrigated landsto grass or similar habitat cover, to reduce theamount of irrigated water consumption,improve fish and wildlife habitat, and improvewater quality by reducing sediment an agricul-tural chemicals from entering the water.There had been CREPs prior to 2005, but nonehad included the purpose of reducing waterconsumption. Currently there are about50,000 acres under the Nebraska Platte-Republican CREP.

The Nebraska Platte-Republican CREP is anadditional tool for the farmer to use and also atool for the State of Nebraska as a means ofreducing water use in areas where the Statehas interstate compacts, decrees, or agree-ments that require a reduction in water useand in areas of the State where there areconflicts between water users and the State

has determined the areas are fully or overap-propriated.

The Nebraska Platte-Republican CREP is avoluntary program for landowners.Landowners can sign up for the program iftheir land is included in the priority areas andthey are able to meet certain criteria.Landowners enter into contracts with thefederal government and the NebraskaDepartment of Natural Resources for ten tofifteen years in exchange for an annualpayment that approximates current irrigationrental rates. New rental rates are effective incertain areas. Landowners also receive finan-cial assistance for the cost of establishing thehabitat cover on the land. Nebraska and thefederal government receive contractual assur-ance that the lands under contract are not irri-gated during the period of the contract andthat the water previously used for irrigation isnot used on other lands or for other purposes.The Nebraska Department of NaturalResources committed to pay up to five milliondollars for its share of habitat establishmentcosts over a period of years. The federal costover the contract period is estimated at 158million dollars.

Individuals who have Nebraska Platte-Republican CREP contracts now may alsoapply to the Nebraska Department of NaturalResources to amend their contracts to allowthem to enter into easements with localnatural resources districts to permanentlyretire the irrigation on lands under thecontracts. Such easements would go into effectimmediately following the expiration of theCREP contract.

2012 water plansModifications on two Wyoming reservoirs

should help ease flooding in high-wateryears.

Lawson said that raising the PathfinderDam spillway 2.5 feet will add 54,000 a-f ofwater storage, with 24,000 a-f earmarked asenhanced river flow credits for the PlatteRiver Recovery Implementation Program.Raising the dam and dikes at GlendoReservoir will provide more storage space forflood control.

Cacek said several Platte Basin NRDs nowhave agreements with irrigation districts todivert high river flows in the fall and earlyspring into canals to recharge groundwaterand help mitigate flooding.

Basin managers will face a critical decisionin late February or early March about howmuch reservoir water to release.

Lawson's concern is seeing an average orbelow-average snowpack.

"You can sit on it, yet the heaviest precipi-tation and most snow you get as far as watercontent doesn't come until April or May," hesaid.

Long-term weather forecasts aren't veryaccurate, so decisions must be made afterstudying the data in hand. "Even if the earlyMarch snow projections are around average,my recommendation will be that we startmoving water, watching it closely so if wedon't see more in April, we can back off,"Lawson said.

"You have to make the decision early," headded. "You can't procrastinate, and youcan't second-guess yourself."
