Water sloshes into thePathfinder Reservoir spillway on awindy Tuesday evening, forming astream that flows to the canyonwall and cascades over the sidelike a waterfall.

It's as if someone is carrying themore than 1 million acre-feet of

water behind the 1909 archedmasonry dam in a big bowl. Withevery step or every gust of wind,the water splashes over the sides.

A month ago, a much larger spillof overflow water by the federalBureau of Reclamation pouredover the entire spillway, down intothe canyon below the dam and intothe North Platte River. Since then,

the large inflows from mountainsnowmelt in northern Coloradoand southern Wyoming have justkept coming.

John Lawson, manager of thebureau's area office in Casper,Wyo., said the last big spill atPathfinder required solely because

Wild Swings in Water Supply Give Water Managers Headaches

Strong winds Tuesday evening pushed water in the full Pathfinder Reservoir into the spillway. The Wyoming reser-voir, the first built on the North Platte River, holds more than 1 million acre-feet of water.

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

Thunderstorms withheavy rainfall, strongwinds, and isolatedpockets of hail onceagain rolled throughthe state on a consis-tent basis this pasttwo weeks.Significant pockets ofstorm damage werereported aroundGothenburg, Omaha,and Lincoln. Therewere also several daysin the past week

where heat stress indices topped out in the 110-120 F range, place stress on livestock andhumans. With all of the moisture that has fallenthe past two months and temperatures projectedto consistently be in the upper 80's to mid 90's,heat stress could be a periodic problem for thenext few weeks. That said, current temperatureforecasts do not indicate long sustained periodsof heat stress like those reported from Kansaseastward through the southeastern U.S.

Week One Forecast: 7/24-7/30: The boundaryseparating the hot and humid air mass over thesouthern U.S. from slightly cooler conditionsacross the northern Plains is projected to pushinto northern Kansas during the early part of theforecast. This will keep significant rainfall southof the state on 7/24. Models attempt to lift themoisture northward on 7/25, with south centraland southeast Nebraska best poised to moisturein the form of scattered thunderstorms withlocalized heavy rainfall developing during theevening hours and continuing into the first halfof 7/26. High pressure will then build into thecentral U.S. and keep precipitation out of theforecast through the most of 7/27. Weather mod-els indicate that the high pressure system willslide south and allow energy to sweep into thestate during the 7/28-7/29 period. Current pro-jections place the best precipitation chancesacross the northeastern half of the state.Clearing conditions return to Nebraska on 7/30.High temperatures are projected to range fromthe mid 80's to low 90's during the 7/24-7/26 peri-od, warming into the upper 80's to mid 90's forthe 7/27-7/28 period, then cooling back into themid 80's to low 90's on 7/29 and 7/30. Warmest

readings will remain across southern Nebraska,while the coolest readings are likely across northcentral and northeast Nebraska.

Week Two Forecast: 7/31-8/5: Considerableuncertainty exist in regards to the forecast thisperiod as weather models can’t come to a consen-sus on whether the upper air ridge will remaincentered over the nations mid section or retro-grade west over the central Rockies. Under aretrograding upper air ridge, cooler air would bepoised to dominate the state and bring dailychances of thunderstorms to the state as impuls-es move southeastward along the ridges periph-ery. High temperatures during the period wouldprimarily be stuck in mid to upper 80's. If theridge remains centered across the nations midsection, highs would range from the upper 80's tomid 90's. Daily chances of precipitation wouldexist across the western 1/3 of the state as mon-soonal moisture gets transported northeast fromthe desert southwest. Eastern Nebraska wouldlikely see less frequent rain activity and chanceswould be determined by how far south thunder-storm activity could build from energy movingeastward across the Dakota’s.

The key to family growth is for family membersto spend time together talking, but in the pastfew years, research shows that the number ofhousehold conversations has decreased by 90 per-cent.

Staying connected may be as simple as just eat-ing one meal a day together. However, the num-ber of family meals have decreased by 33 percent.Instead of sitting down at the dinner table andtalking about their days, family members nowgrab a quick bite to eat as they head off to soccerpractice or one of the many activities that nowseem to rule people's time.

That is why it is important to have positive,substantial conversation to help keep a familyconnected. Leave conversations about groceryshopping and bad test grades for another time.Instead, ask family members how their dayswere.

Families could even have a jar that memberscould put questions or topics in that they want totalk about during the meal; for example, maybemom wants to know more about her daughter'snew job. Pick a topic from the jar to start off themeal and then let the conversation go from there.

Sitting down for a full meal everyday at homemay not be possible, but having even a few min-utes of substantial conversation will help bring afamily closer together. Instead of rushing homefrom school, stop to get ice cream and share fiveminutes together.

While sharing a meal is important, familiesshould try to find other time to spend together. Astechnology grows and vies for more of people'stime, family members often disappear into differ-ent rooms after dinner to play video games or surfthe Internet. Instead of going separate ways, getfamily members together in the same room andmaybe play that video game together.

Technology can bring family members togetherinstead of pulling them apart. The importantthing is not what the family is doing but that thefamily is together, talking and having fun.

Make Family Time Count

Susan Hansen, Extension Educator, Colfax County

It has happened to everyone.You’re at a barbeque clad in your favorite white

shirt, and a big glob of ketchup lands squarely onyour stomach.

Stains proliferate during the summer. But haveno fear. There may be some hope for your soiledclothes.

Stains fall into one of four categories: protein,oil/grease, tannins and miscellaneous.

The type of fiber is just as important as thekind of stain when it comes to stain removal so besure to check the label.

No matter which category the stain falls into, itis important to take action quickly. the bondbetween spilled substance and the fabric isstrengthened by sunlight, heat and time. Checkthe care label in the garment for fiber and recom-mended care. If the label recommends hand ormachine washing, blot or wipe stained washablefabric as soon as possible. Rinse the area withcool water to keep a stain from setting if it can’tbe treated immediately.

Protein-based stains, such as grass, ice cream,perspiration and meat juices, respond well toenzyme presoak products used according to pack-age directions.

Prewash stain removers in spray, liquid, stickand gel forms are useful to remove oil and greasestains like butter, cosmetics and mayonnaise.Apply them as soon as possible to the stained sur-

face; be prepared to repeat the process. Mostimportantly, don’t machine dry a garment until astain is completely removed because the heat willpermanently set the stain.

Treat tannin-based stains, such as tea,ketchup, wine, fruit juice and soft drinks, with aprewash stain remover and then launder the gar-ment with bleach. Chlorine bleach (hypochlorite)is best if the fabric can tolerate it. Oxygen bleach(perborate) can be used for colors or fabrics thatwon’t tolerate chlorine.

Miscellaneous stains respond to a variety oftreatments. Mildew stains respond to bleach aswell; however, bleach isn’t suitable for all fabrics.Check the garment’s label, and if chlorine bleachisn’t recommended, soak it in oxygen bleach andthe hottest water safe for the fabric before laun-dering. Mustard stains should be pretreated witha prewash stain remover, then laundered withbleach if the fabric will tolerate it. Tar should bescraped from the fabric. Place the stain face downon a pad of paper towels and sponge it with clean-er fluid, change the paper towels frequently.Then launder the garment in the hottest watersafe for the fabric.

To clean outdoor furniture cushions, use an all-purpose, non-abrasive cleaner that containsbleach. Spray the cushion with the cleaner; it isimportant to keep the surface wet for at least fiveminutes so the bleach has a chance to work onmildew stains. Try to keep outdoor cushionsstored in a dry place when not in use because pre-vention is the best way to fight mildew.

Roasting hotdogs or just enjoying conversationwith friends around a campfire is an enjoyableoutdoor experience for many people. However, thefirewood that feeds the campfire may be devas-tating to Nebraska’s native forests. Besides theobvious concern for wildfire, something more sin-ister may attack our forests. Firewood that istransported into Nebraska may harbor non-native, invasive, insect or disease pests thatcould reap havoc on Nebraska trees.

Remember Dutch Elm Disease, which devastat-ed the native and planted elm trees acrossNebraska in the 1960s? Dutch elm disease iscaused by an exotic fungus that was introducedinto the U.S. from Europe in the early 1930s. It isprimarily spread by an exotic European Elm barkbeetle.

Today, Nebraska’s native forests and plantedtrees are threatened by other exotic pests thatcan easily and unsuspectingly be transportedinto the state through infested or infected fire-wood, or possibly other untreated wood products.

The most immediate pest threats that couldeasily hitchhike to Nebraska via firewood areEmerald Ash Borer, 1000 Cankers Disease ofWalnut and Sudden Oak Death Syndrome. Todate, these pathogens have not been documentedin Nebraska.

The primary way that the public can help pre-vent introduction of damaging tree/forest pests isdo not move firewood into or out of the state.Several regions of the country are campaigning tohalt the interstate movement of firewood. Publicawareness about the possible devastating affectsof using non-local firewood is critical to preventthe spread of invasive forest pests.

The following common-sense rules can helpprotect Nebraska’s valuable forest resources:

-- Use local firewood or purchase firewood with-in 50 miles of your destination.

-- Do not transport unused firewood to anotherdestination.

-- Burn all firewood before leaving or donate itto a nearby camper.

Firewood May Harm Nebraska Forests

A C r a s h C o u r s eby Lee Pitts

I should be pushing up daisies in somebone orchard right now after having flownon hundreds of flights piloted by auction-eers, cattle buyers, stocker operators andfeedlot owners. I’d be in good companybecause there have been enough countrywestern singers, auctioneers, rodeoannouncers and cowboys die in airplanecrashes that you could put together animpressive Plane Crash Cowboy Hall ofFame.

If you’ve never flown in a small plane, allpilots are supposed to go over a checklistbefore they take off. (The guys I flew withwere too busy bidding on cattle to go over achecklist.) If you’re ever a passenger onCowboy Airlines here’s a 13 point checklistthat you as a passenger should go over,even if your pilot doesn’t.

#1 Count the Props- There should be atleast one, but two is better. If your coffin-on-wheels has no props it is either missingone, and therefore should not be flown, or itis a jet. If it’s a jet immediately hire a pilot.At least one, but two is better.

#2 Count the wheels-There should be atleast three, preferably two of which arefilled with air. I prefer the wheels notretract, although this will slow you down atleast your cowboy pilot won’t have toremember to put the wheels down prior tolanding.

#3 Go to the bathroom- Don’t drink a BigGulp or a 32 ounce soda before taking off ina plane where the only restroom is the cup

your soda came in. The pilot isn’t going toland just cause you have to tinkle. I learnedthis the hard way and by the time we land-ed my eyes were permanently crossed andI’ve walked funny ever since.

#4 Take note of where the plane isparked- If you’ve ever been to a big casinoin Vegas you noticed that they park theFerraris and Rolls Royces right up front bythe front door to send the message thathigh rollers gamble there. It’s the same atairports: the pilot/gambler’s good rigs areparked up close. If you have to walk morethan a mile out to your airplane, or it ishidden behind a bunch of wrecked ForestService bombers, just say you forgot some-thing back at the car, leave, and don’t comeback.

#5 Make sure the radio works- It shouldNOT be tuned to Golden Oldies or a countrystation. And Rush Limbaugh won’t be muchhelp in case of emergency.

#6 File a flight plan- You should at leastlet someone know where you are headed sothat they’ll be able to find the wreckageand have a body for your funeral.

#7 Ask questions- Due to liability issues,manufacturers did not make small air-planes for many years, so don’t be surprisedif the plane you are in is 30 years old. Butif the names Orville or Wilbur are carvedinto the dashboard get out and walk. RUNif the combined age of the pilot and theplane is over 100 years. Also, ask your esti-mated time of arrival. If the pilot says, “I’ll

have you on the ground in two hours,” askhim or her to be more specific.

#8 Ask to see the maintenance records ofthe airplane- If the pilot says, “What’sthat?” I’d advise you take the train.

#9 Pack a lunch- Just like on airplaneswith names like United painted on theirsides, there is no service in small planeseither. The food you bring along could comein handy if the rescue party can’t find you.Assuming, of course, you survive the crash.

#10 Check the gas- From personal experi-ence just let me say that banging on the gasgauges does not put more fuel in the tankswhen you need it.

#11 Take something to puke in- You arenot going to want to ruin your felt Stetson,and straw hats leak, so pack a big five gal-lon trash bag to bury your head in.

#12 Take a “CRASH” course in learning tofly- Okay, so that’s not a good choice ofwords. But you should have the pilot teachyou the basics because it will be too late tofind a flight instructor if, and when, yourpilot has a fatal heart attack.

#13 Leave a will, memorize a suitableprayer and kiss your wife and kids goodbye-Because 5,000 feet is a long way to fallwithout a parachute

Nearly 100 days ago, the Deepwater Horizon off-shore oil facility experienced a catastrophic explo-sion, eventually leading to the largest oil spill inour nation’s history. Since that time, we have seenchallenges and setbacks to the cleanup effort.

There is no argument to the need to focus on per-manently capping the well, making sure the oil iscleaned up, and ensuring the people of the GulfStates receive the support they need. We alsomust discover what happened so we can make theinformed and complete reforms needed to ensureAmerican offshore drilling remains the safest inthe world.

Unfortunately, some in Congress will use anyopportunity – even a tragedy as devastating asthis – as leverage to increase federal spending bybillions on unrelated programs, such as a solarpanel in Nevada or a wind turbine in Montana.Others have jumped on the opportunity to passnew laws, regulations, and rules on matters total-ly unrelated to the oil spill or offshore drilling.

Recently, Department of the Interior SecretaryKen Salazar announced a new moratorium on off-shore drilling, despite a court ruling knockingdown a similar proposed measure earlier this year.This latest attempt to impose a moratorium on off-shore drilling only will cause further harm to GulfState economies. The federal government needs tofocus its attention on stopping the leak, cleaning

up the oil and helping the impacted communities.We should not make knee-jerk reactions whichthreaten jobs, the economy, energy independenceand national security.

The Democrat leadership in the Senate is push-ing its version of climate change and energy legis-lation, including language written by Sens. JohnKerry (D-MA) and Joe Lieberman (I-CT), common-ly referred to as cap-and-trade.

The cap-and-trade climate bill seeks to reducegreenhouse gas emissions by increasing the priceof energy to the point Americans will be forced toreduce their use. Specifically, the EnvironmentalProtection Agency would set up a cap-and-tradesystem under which emissions allowances are soldto businesses, utilities, and other energy produc-ers. The cost then would be passed onto con-sumers in the form of higher gas prices, utilitybills, and other hidden energy charges – a movewhich would be particularly devastating to ournation’s farmers and ranchers as agriculture pro-duction is an energy intensive industry.

I firmly opposed cap-and-trade for a number ofreasons, not the least of which is it would decreasenet farm income by an average of $23 billion peryear as a result of the increased energy costs. Inthese tough economic times with much of ournation facing an uncertain economic future,Congress should not rush to pass new laws which

will stymie our economic growth, cost Americanjobs, and continue to place families and communi-ties in no-win situations.

I am a co-sponsor of the American Energy Act,which encourages clean and renewable sources ofenergy such as nuclear power, solar, and wind. Italso lowers fuel costs and creates jobs. I also haveworked to modernize our nation’s electrical grid toensure energy created in one area of the UnitedStates can be transported efficiently. These arethe types of solutions we need to developAmerican-made energy.

Cap-and-trade won’t cap the oil spill. Congressshould be acting to improve the situation in theGulf, not make it worse and drag our economydown with it. We need an energy policy whichdoesn’t pick winners and losers. Instead we mustadopt an ‘all-of-the-above’ approach to energy –one which includes safe and secure offshore oil andnatural gas production and advances technologiesto develop alternative sources of energy such aswind- and hydro-power.

By developing American energy, we can ensureour economy recovers, lessen our dependence onforeign oil, and prevent such tragedies as the onewhich has unfolded in the Gulf of Mexico thesepast three months.

Updated Financial Regulatory Bill Misses The Mark On Reformby Senator Mike Johanns

Why I Will Oppose The Kagan NominationIn preparation for the upcoming Senate floor

consideration of the nomination of SolicitorGeneral Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Courtapproaches, I have listened to her hearing beforethe Judiciary Committee and carefully reviewedher record. Just as I did before my vote on JusticeSonia Sotomayor, I carefully considered her viewof the Court's role in our government, and whethershe is capable of administering justice as a neutralumpire. Based on her admiration of self-pro-claimed activist judges and a career driven bypolitical factors above legal rationale, I am notconfident that Ms. Kagan would resist the urge tolegislate from the bench.

As an advisor in the Clinton White House, sheadvocated for keeping partial-birth abortionslegal. She inserted her own personal views in placeof science by editing the scientific conclusions of amedical group, which ultimately convinced theSupreme Court in 2000 to strike down Nebraska'sban on this horrific procedure. Setting the law

aside in favor of a preferred political agenda, shealso advised President Clinton to support abor-tion-relation amendments that legal counsel at theDepartment of Justice had concluded to be uncon-stitutional.

Ms. Kagan has stated she is “not sympathetic” toSecond Amendment rights. The right to lawfullyown and use firearms is a Constitutional guaran-tee which judges must seek to protect, not compro-mise or dismiss lightly. I will not support SupremeCourt candidates with such troubling views on thisfundamental right.

It is also disconcerting that as Dean of HarvardLaw School, she denied full access to militaryrecruiters on campus in defiance of federal lawduring a time of war. The Supreme Court ruledunanimously against Kagan’s position in 2006.

Furthermore, she appears to believe that theinterstate commerce clause has virtually no limits,allowing the federal government to require basi-cally anything of its citizens. During her nomina-tion hearing before the Senate Judiciary

Committee, Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahomaposed a hypothetical situation: What if Congress,for whatever reason, passed a law requiring allAmericans to eat three fruits and vegetables perday? Even in this hypothetical instance, Ms.Kagan declined to state whether she would deemsuch a law unconstitutional. Justices must recog-nize the importance of defending individual rightsand freedoms. Ms. Kagan’s struggle to articulateany limits on federal power are troubling and pro-vides insight into how she would rule on the con-stitutionality of the individual mandate embeddedwithin the recently-passed health care law.

Confirming Supreme Court Justices is one of themost important jobs of the U.S. Senate. TheAmerican people deserve a justice who will sup-port and defend individual rights. Unfortunately,Ms. Kagan’s activist judicial philosophy and herrecord of allowing political and personal consider-ations to drive her legal views make her ill-suitedto serve on the nation’s highest court.

Given the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico,it’s good to know you don’t have to drill a miledown to reach ethanol. It’s growing all around us,which is good for Nebraska, the second largestethanol-producing state in the nation and gettingbigger all the time.

I had the honor of speaking at the expansion ofan ethanol plant last week as Nebraska continuesdoing its part to quench our growing thirst for thisclean fuel that is doing so much in America’s bat-tle for energy security. It’s unfortunate that delaysby the federal Department of Energy and theEnvironmental Protection Agency are needlesslyjeopardizing our made-in-America ethanol indus-try.Another Delay from the EPA

The EPA recently delayed its decision onwhether to allow an increase in the amount ofethanol that can be blended with gasoline from 10percent to 15 percent. The question has beenunder EPA review for over a year and a decisionalready has been delayed a number of timesbefore.

It’s very disappointing and will also slow downdevelopment of next generation American renew-able energy at a time we are striving to be moreenergy independent. This also puts jobs in

Nebraska and the U.S. at risk, and prevents com-pliance with a federal Renewable Fuel Standard.It thwarts our efforts to take the next step in thedevelopment of cellulosic and future generations ofbiofuels needed to meet that 2022 requirement.

While the EPA sits on its hands, ethanol produc-ers will soon hit the E10 cap or ‘blend wall,’ pro-ducing more ethanol than can be used under cur-rent restrictions. This is yet another delay on adecision that was supposed to have been made inDecember of last year.Delay Puts Energy Security at Risk

The EPA’s move needlessly continues ourreliance on foreign sources of fuel, rather thanreplacing imported gasoline with ethanol producedfrom fields across Nebraska and elsewhere. It pre-vents us from further developing high-payinggreen jobs in our small communities that will rein-vest in our rural economy.

And we are missing an important opportunity toimprove our environment, with clean-burningethanol that produces 59 percent fewer green-house gas emissions than gasoline—a statisticthat will likely improve with the continued devel-opment and efficiencies of second generation biofu-els.

I’ve made these points to federal officials and

will do so again this week when I meet withEnergy Secretary Steven Chu and EPAAdministrator Lisa Jackson. I’ve also pointed outwhat they should already know that a 15 percentblend is not a problem. All they need to do is lookto Brazil to see that. Brazil currently blendsethanol with gasoline at a rate of 20-25 percentwith no damage to vehicle engines.EPA Should Speed Things Up

The EPA has indicated in the past that it willraise the blend, but it needs to move more quicklyif we are to meet a Congressional mandate thatcalls for more ethanol use. I made that point in aletter to the President because the mandate sim-ply cannot be achieved unless a 15 percent blend isallowed.

The mandate requires refiners to blend 12.9 bil-lion galls of biofuels this year, of which 12 billioncomes from ethanol. The amount grows in futureyears to 36 billion gallons by the year 2022 with asignificant amount coming from ethanol.

The ethanol industry has worked very hard tohelp our economy and our battle for energy inde-pendence. Now the EPA and the EnergyDepartment need to do their part and get in gear,not just stay in neutral.

Irrigators in the Lower Republican NaturalResources District can begin applying now attheir local U.S. Department of AgricultureNatural Resources Conservation Serviceoffices for two water conservation programsfor which funds are expected to be confirmedsoon.

Announced this week is a three-year$625,315 cost-share program for soil moisturesensors. The first-year grant under the NRCSCooperative Conservation PartnershipInitiative is for $250,126.

The project comes on the heels of a five-year,$5 million LRNRD project to pay incentives tolandowners willing to retire irrigated acres.First-year funding was announced two weeksago under the NRCS Agricultural WaterEnhancement Program.

"First-year funding under both grants needsto be obligated immediately," LRNRD GeneralManager Mike Clements said in a press

release. "So, we are asking irrigators to goahead and apply now in anticipation of thefunding release."

Future-year funding for both programs willdepend on continued availability of federalmoney.

Clements said a recent study of soil mois-ture sensors to determine irrigation applica-tion timing was funded by the NRCS and theNebraska Corn Board and conducted by theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln and cooperat-ing farmers. On average, farmers using thesensors applied 2 inches less water per acre,with crop yields equal to or higher than iden-tically planted fields irrigated under tradi-tional "hand-feel" soil moisture testing meth-ods.

LRNRD irrigators who install soil moisturesensors can receive a cost-share payment ofapproximately $500-$600 per irrigated field.

For the acre retirement program, paymentsof as much as $173 per acre per year for fiveyears - a total of $865 - are available and canbe supplemented by a one-time $400-per-acreincentive. Payments would be made in equalincrements over five years.

Lower payments are available for temporaryretirement of irrigation, with no supplementalincentive.

LRNRD officials conservatively estimatethat more than 25,000 acre-feet of water willbe saved annually, once the two programs areimplemented.

Irrigators must act soon to participate in2011.

There will be an application priority systemweighted toward proximity to the RepublicanRiver and its tributaries. Details are avail-able from the LRNRD in Alma.

Water Grants Available Soon

"First-year funding underboth grantsneeds to be obligated immediately,"

The Nebraska Grain and Feed Association(NGF) has finalized this year's Dealer Programagenda for the 35th annual summer meeting setfor August 6, 2010 at Quarry Oaks golf course.

The 9:00 AM Dealers Program will kick offwith the association’s president's welcome fromTim Gubbels, of North Side Grain in Laurel,Nebraska. This year’s other distinguishedspeakers include Governor Dave Heineman,Senior Aide and Advisor on commodity issuesand biofuels to Sec. Vilsack Sarah Bittleman,and BNSF Assistant Vice President forAgricultural Products John Miller.

The primary focus for the Dealers Programwill be an open discussion on how US agricul-ture can contribute to the national economicrecovery and sustained prosperity throughopening new and expanding existing exportmarkets. There will also be an examination ofthe current state of bio fuels and its impact onrural development, and what initiatives theadministration may consider supporting pro-ducers and agribusiness should the laggingworld economic situation persist.

Lunch, the 18 hole four-person best ball AllNGF Golf Tournament and a steak fry will fol-low the morning Dealers Program, with theday's events winding down at approximately5:30 PM.

The Nebraska Grain and Feed Association is anonprofit trade association comprised of privateand cooperatively owned grain elevators andprocessing plants, ethanol plants, feed mills,grain dealers and merchandisers from acrossthe state and region, and represents over 85% ofthe total commercial storage capacity in thestate.

There's no silver bullet solution to meet the landand water conservation requirements for thethree-state Platte River Recovery ImplementationProgram.

However, program pieces are taking shape.Program Executive Director Jerry Kenny of

Kearney said it will be easier to account for acresof wildlife habitat protected for the target species -least terns, piping plovers, whooping cranes -along the Central Platte River in Nebraska thanthe acre-feet of water credits from projects in allthree states.

Farther downstream, the protected species is thepallid sturgeon.

"Some of it is more a matter of accounting. Whogets credit for what?" Kenny said. "It's all thesame river."

The program was developed after the Colorado,Wyoming and Nebraska governors and U.S.Department of Interior secretary signed a coopera-tive agreement in 1997.

The goal is to get all basin projects with federallicenses or permits, including Central NebraskaPublic Power and Irrigation District and NebraskaPublic Power District, into compliance with the Platte River Recovery Implementation Program Executive Director Jerry Kenny of Kearney visited

south-central Wyoming’s Seminoe Reservoir last week as part of the 2010 Nebraska Water and NaturalResources Tour of the North Platte and South Platte basins.

of Mother Nature was in 1984. "For all practi-cal purposes, it took 27 years," he said.

Mike Jess of Lincoln, a former director ofwhat now is the Nebraska Department ofNatural Resources, said the last time all NorthPlatte Basin reservoirs were full or nearly atcapacity also was in the mid-1980s.

Today, all of Wyoming's federal reservoirs -Seminoe, Pathfinder, Alcova, Glendo andGuernsey - are full. Nebraska's LakeMcConaughy, owned and operated by Holdrege-based Central Nebraska Public Power andIrrigation District, stood at more than 93 per-cent full this morning.

"It's a wet year, but not a record breaker,"Jess said, "... but it's dramatically differentfrom three or four years ago."

CNPPID Civil Engineer Cory Steinke saidLake McConaughy inflows are at 2,574 cfs andreleases total about 2,900, including 1,800 forNebraska Public Power projects. Of the other1,100 cfs, about half is for Central irrigationand the rest is spill water.

A wet late spring throughout the North PlatteBasin from the Rocky Mountain headwaters tothe irrigated areas in eastern Wyoming andwestern and south-central Nebraska, plus highflows in Colorado's South Platte River, set upwhat Steinke calls a "perfect storm" of watersurplus conditions.

He had his first look at many of those reser-voirs and river reaches as part of last week's2010 Nebraska Water and Natural Resourcestour. "When I get home, I'll have to sit downand figure out what our operations will be"through the summer and into the fall, Steinkesaid.

He and other water project managers havespent the past two months continually adjust-

ing their projections and management plans.Lawson said snowmelt data in April made it

reasonable to plan for average or slightlybelow-average water supplies. So, water for thePanhandle irrigation districts was moved fromPathfinder Reservoir to Glendo Reservoir,upstream of the Nebraska state line, and intostorage at the Inland Lakes north ofScottsbluff.

"Then at the last minute, if it changes, whatdo you do?" he said.

Water managers found out in May and Junewhen big snows and rains came. Suddenly,runoff was headed toward 177 percent of aver-age above Seminoe Reservoir, the first bigimpoundment on the North Platte River.

Meanwhile, rainfall downstream delayeddemand for irrigation water deliveries.

"We had the upper basin go nuts on us. Wehad the lower basin go nuts on us," Lawsonsaid. "And no one downstream would takewater."

It then became a chess game of moving wateraround without causing flooding at bottleneckssuch as Lewellen, where the North Platte Riverflows into Lake McConaughy.

"I'll tell you my contingency plan," Lawsonsaid. "No sleep for a month."

One thing keeping him up at night was know-ing how many homes, businesses and publicvenues now sit along the river, which has adiminished carrying capacity in many areasbecause of invasive vegetation.

Lawson estimated that without the dams,23,000 cfs could have reached Casper. "Theysay flood stage is 9,000 cfs," he said.

He said the wall of unrestrained water couldhave grown to 30,000 cfs at Scottsbluff andgrown even larger at Lewellen.

"Everybody wants to live on the river. ... Thisyear, we released high flows, but nothing likewhat we might have to do someday," Lawsonsaid. "Mother Nature is going to do it, andwe're going to have major problems."

Lake McConaughy, the last big reservoir inthe Platte system, held 1,591,000 a-f this morn-ing and stood at elevation 3259.9. Capacity is1.7 million a-f and elevation 3265.

As an example of how fast the water supplypicture changed, Steinke said LakeMcConaughy had record low March inflows thisyear.

After years of managing Central's water sup-plies for drought and irrigation allocations,this is his first experience with a full reservoir."I've saved every drop since I started, and nowI'll be releasing water down the river," Steinkesaid.

The good news is there's plenty of water forirrigation, hydropower production, recreationand wildlife habitat needs. He said there willbe a full irrigation water supply for Centralcustomers for the next two years, no matterwhat the weather brings.

However, a full reservoir creates its own oper-ations issues.

Steinke sees releases of excess water downthe river as a waste because it can't be storedor used to generate hydropower. He also mustplan ahead to meet a federal license require-ment that Lake McConaughy not exceed eleva-tion 3260 from October through April and tomake room for 2011 spring runoff.

"You can't be sitting right at full if there's apossibility of water coming down fromupstream," he said.

WILD SWINGS IN WATER SUPPLY GIVE WATER MANAGERS HEADACHESContinued from page 1

Endangered Species Act.NPPD Water Resources Manager Brian Barels

of Columbus said that without the program, eachproject would be evaluated for ESA complianceindividually.

"We need to look at the system in a holistic man-ner," he said.

The first 13-year increment goals are to protect10,000 acres of land in Nebraska's critical habitatarea and reduce Platte River depletions by130,000-150,000 acre-feet.

Kenny said the program now has more than6,000 of the land acres protected through purchas-es or contributions by program participants. Morethan half of the total so far comes from NPPD's2,650-acre Cottonwood Ranch between Elm Creekand Overton and from a state of Wyoming proper-ty southeast of Kearney.

The goal is to create habitat complexes."We've made commitments in some areas, so

now it's a matter of filling gaps and getting thecomplexes up to size," Kenny said, which will taketime. "... It's gotta be the right stuff (habitat), andit's gotta be in the right place."

Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming each carry a"No New Depletions" plan for its share of thewater goal. The key target is to roll back wateruses to 1997 levels.

Colorado's main project along the South PlatteRiver is using water detention cells at theTamerack Ranch State Wildlife Area near Crook tohold groundwater when there are excess targetflows in the river and allow it to seep back to theriver during deficits.

Wyoming's "three-brick plan" involves raisingthe spillway height at Pathfinder Dam to regainsome reservoir capacity lost over the years to sed-imentation.

Kenny said the first phase of the Tamerack proj-ect is operational, and Wyoming officials are readyto do the Pathfinder construction when high waterin the reservoir recedes.

Barels said Nebraska's water plan also fitsLB962 goals to roll back water consumption inoverappropriated areas of the Platte Basin west ofElm Creek and offset any new uses in the fully

appropriated areas downstream.Nebraska projects include an environmental

account of water stored in Lake McConaughy andmanaged by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serviceand projects to remove invasive species - saltcedar,phragmites, Russian olive - that consume waterand choke river channels.

The Grand Island-based Central Platte NaturalResources District has purchased perpetual leasesfrom landowners in the overappropriated areas ofthe district when the landowners are willing toretire irrigation from land along the river. Watercredits also are "banked" as offset credits for newwater uses.

Kenny said the program and partners such asNRDs and irrigation districts are doing feasibilitystudies of reservoir projects northwest of ElmCreek and near CNPPID's J-2 return east ofLexington. Irrigation canals could be used to takewater to the reservoirs when there are excessriver flows to be held for release in shortages.

Groundwater recharge near the reservoirs alsowould benefit the river.

Another river augmentation plan being exploredby the Holdrege-based Tri-Basin NRD is to pumpgroundwater into existing drainages to the PlatteRiver.

The estimated program cost is $317 million incash and in-kind credits for land and water. Cashcontributions are: federal government, $157 mil-lion; Colorado, $24 million; and Wyoming, $6 mil-lion.

All of Nebraska's program credits are for in-kindcontributions.

Barels said all the water planned for the pro-gram is valued at $120 million and the land con-tributions are worth $10 million.

"Will there be a second, third or subsequentincrement? Nobody knows," he said. The "adaptivemanagement" component requires projects to bemonitored to determine if they're meeting pro-gram goals.

Also, Barels said, any one of the four programpartners can decide to withdraw.

"Some of the milestones and goals are prettyconcrete for the first increment, land and water.Some of the goals for the species are a little fuzzy,"Kenny said.

One measure of success is project and programsustainability in wet and dry times. Also consid-ered will be the amount of management requiredto maintain projects.

"The idea that you create it and just walk awayis not realistic," Kenny said.

PLATTE PROGRAM PROGRESS IS PIECE BY PIECEContinued from page 9


Long after Nebraska's irrigation wells areturned off in late September, many northeastColorado wells in the South Platte Basin arejust getting ready to pump throughout thefall and winter.

They're a big part of streamflow augmenta-tion projects serving two needs.

One is to meet Colorado's streamflow aug-mentation commitments for the Platte RiverRecovery Implementation Program.

The other is to offset irrigation water useby South Platte Basin farmers.

Nearly all the wells and surface waterditches from Greeley, Colo., east to theNebraska state line run water throughoutthe irrigation off-season. Jon Altenhofen ofthe Northern Colorado Water ConservancyDistrict based in Berthod said the goal is tofill aquifers so that junior water right hold-ers can irrigate the following summer.

An example of how an offset system worksis operating at the Tamerack Ranch nearCrook, about halfway between Julesburg andSterling. The ranch is a 10,696-acre statewildlife management area along the SouthPlatte River.

Altenhofen said work on the first phase ofthe "Tamarack project" began after Colorado,Nebraska, Wyoming and the U.S.Department of Interior signed a 1997 cooper-ative agreement for a basinwide program toaddress endangered species habitat issuesalong Nebraska's Central Platte River.

From November to January, nine wellsspaced 1,000 feet apart near the SouthPlatte River pump water into holding cells -depressions in the landscape that fill withwater - at different distances from the river.It's the time of the year when river flowsgenerally exceed the targets set at GrandIsland.

Altenhofen said seepage into the ground-water is timed so that the water reaches theriver in February and March, when there isa need for higher flows for the criticalwildlife habitat in Nebraska.

Sept 10 Dec. 10Support: 364 377Resistance 399 412

Corn trade has slipped down off our recenthighs due to better weather outlooks. The week-ly net change is 15 lower on the September con-tract and December is down 14. The outsidemarket influence has been neutral; crude islightly higher, the dollar is 78 higher, and theDOW is steady. It still feels like the outsidemarket influence is supportive for now. On theweekly condition and progress report, the cropratings came in 1% worse than last week at 72%good to excellent; this is still 1% better than lastyear. The progress number had pollination at65% versus the 47% 5-year average. The speedof the crop overall makes July 15-29 the key pol-lination dates. It will be warm but not damagingin my opinion, which limits upside. This is alsoillustrated by our action this week. The weeklyexport sales came in at 614,100 tons of old cropand 540,900 tons of new crop; combined, thiswas just above expectations. Hedgers call withquestions, prices are now back up in the upperpart of the yearly range so there are chances toget PUT options in place at good levels or getadditional sales in place. In the big picture ourrange expectations have risen based on theUSDA reports the past three weeks. Now therecent lows and about 25 cents above them is alow side and trade at $3.90-4.20 is an upsidetype range expectations for the nearby board.

Wheat trade has been choppy this week, butthe market has hung onto the recent gains wellwith world weather and production concernskeeping big sellers away. The weekly netchanges are 1 higher in Chicago, KC andMinneapolis are both up 2. On the chart, thereis psychological resistance at $6 on the ChicagoSeptember contract, which held the past fewdays, but no serious sell off giving the bias wewill take it out before the week is out. On theweekly crop progress report, winter wheat har-vest was listed at 71% complete, up 2% from lastyear but 3% slower than the average pace.Spring wheat was at 87% headed, 7% ahead oflast year but 4% slower than the 5-year average.Spring wheat conditions were down 1% to 82%good to excellent. The weekly export sales werereported at 382,100 tons for the 10/11 year,which was near the low side of expectations. No11/12 wheat sales were reported. Hedgers callwith questions, continue to look forward at thecarry in the futures for opportunities in 2011and 2012 and I believe we need to get hedges inplace on this move for next year. The uncertain-ty in regard to when this bull run will be overremains in place due to the short squeeze goingon. The big move the past several years helpsleave an open door for higher prices. It is stillhard to access the bullish scenario because theworld production issues have not turned intoexport commitments at this time.

Also the outside mar-ket action will be important the rest of the month.The important soybean weather is about nowthrough mid August, with the next month followingsomewhat important. Even if it gets dryer andwarmer in August I believe the moisture to datehas been good and the ending soybean yield shouldbe pretty good. The weather pattern and markettalk has been more about threatening future andokay to good actual weather. This pattern makesme suggest we do extend hedge coverage if you arelight on sales, but the downside risk in terms of therest of this month should be fairly limited.Hedgers call with questions.

The Tri-Basin Natural Resources Districtboard has scheduled a public hearing on its fis-cal year 2010-2011 budget at 1:30 p.m. Aug. 10at the Bertrand Community Building.

The board traditionally uses its August meet-ing day for a morning tour of some district proj-ects and an afternoon meeting in one of thetowns away from the Holdrege headquarters.

The proposed budget approved for hearingTuesday calls for a property tax asking of$1,044,401 and is $223,483 less than theFY2010 tax asking of $1,267,884. The tentativelevy of 4.73 cents per $100 valuation wouldcompare to 5.97 cents this fiscal year.

The total proposed FY2011 budget is$2,662,982, or about $145,000 more than the$2,518,014 for FY2010.

TBNRD General Manager John Thorburnsaid this morning that most of the property taxdifference is $200,000 left unspent in theFY2010 budget to pay Central Nebraska PublicPower and Irrigation District to put surfacewater into the Platte River to offset relativelynew water uses in the NRD.

The five-year service agreement with Centralwas approved Tuesday, pending legal review, sopayments anticipated for FY2010 won't startuntil FY2011. The Central board approved theagreement last week.

CNPPID will deliver up to 2,500 acre-feet ofwater annually to the Platte River at the J-2return near Lexington that will be credited toTri-Basin as an offset for river depletions fromnew water uses since 1997.

Tri-Basin will pay an administrative fee andwater fee ranging from $35 to $76.50 per a-f,depending on the year and whether CNPPIDirrigators are under allocations.

A Tri-Basin ad hoc committee of DirectorsDave Nickel and Dave Raffety of Kearney, DaveOlsen of Minden, and Brad Lundeen of Wilcoxwas formed to explore other Platte River aug-mentation projects, with a focus on possiblewellfield sites in Kearney County.

Middle Republican NRD General ManagerDan Smith of Curtis invited the Tri-Basin NRDTuesday to join the Republican River BasinCoalition - Tri-Basin includes parts of thePlatte, Republican and Little Blue basins.

The issue was assigned to the TBNRDPlanning Committee, which will meet at 10a.m. Aug. 12.

Nebraska State ConservationistSteve Chick recently announcedthe results from the ConservationStewardship Program (CSP) 2010sign-up for Nebraska. The NaturalResources Conservation Service(NRCS) report revealed Nebraskawas fourth in the nation for acresentered in the program with784,377 acres of cropland, pasture-land, rangeland and non-industrialprivate forestland enrolled.

Administered by NRCS, CSP willbe adding over $8.9 million annu-ally to Nebraska’s economy fromthis first signup. “CSP providesour conservation-minded farmersand ranchers an opportunity toachieve an even higher level of con-servation stewardship on workingfarms, ranches, and forest lands,”says Chick. Through CSP, contractholders get technical assistanceand funding assistance forinstalling new conservation prac-tices and adopting additionalactivities, and improving, main-taining, and managing existingactivities.

Nationally, 10,630 contracts wereobligated enrolling over 12.6 mil-lion total acres. “In Nebraska,there are 573 CSP contracts withfarmers and ranchers who aredoing outstanding conservationwork,” says Chick. “It is a privi-lege to be working with producers

who are committed stewards ofNebraska’s natural resources – soil,water, air, plants and animals.”

Authorized in the 2008 FarmBill, CSP offers payments to pro-ducers who maintain a high levelof conservation on their land andwho agree to adopt higher levels ofstewardship. Eligible landsinclude cropland, pastureland,rangeland and non-industrialforestland. Individuals, entities,and Indian Tribes operating agri-cultural or non-industrial privateforestland may be eligible for theprogram.

Despite this being an extremelybusy time for farmers and ranch-ers, Chick encourages producers tostart thinking about the next CSPsign-up. “With the 2010 CSPsignup completed, farmers andranchers are advised to startpreparing for the next fundingopportunity which could happen assoon as this fall.”

CSP is a continuous sign-up pro-gram so producers may contacttheir local NRCS office for anapplication at any time. “A self-screening checklist is available todetermine if CSP is right for youand your business,” says Chick.Check with your local NRCS officesor on the NRCS Web site atwww.ne.nrcs.usda.gov/programs.

Stewardship to AddNearly $9 Million to Nebraska Economy


The Platte River is the aorta that carrieslifeblood - water - to much of Nebraska. Its SouthPlatte and North Platte branches are the othermajor arteries.

Nebraskans who rely on the Platte River mustlook far west to the mountains of Colorado andWyoming to find the origins of their water.

"This is a different river basin than the Loup,Republican and all the others in Nebraska," saidMike Jess, former director of what now is theNebraska Department of Natural Resources andleader of the 2010 Nebraska Water and NaturalResources Tour. "There are very few tributarieswith the Platte. You can count them almost on onehand, so it really relies on snowmelt."

The South Platte starts in the Rocky Mountainssouth of Denver and curves northeast intoNebraska at the state line near Julesburg. Thereare diversions in Colorado, but no big reservoirs.

The North Platte River's headwaters are in thenorthern Colorado Rockies and it flows throughfederal Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs inWyoming - Pathfinder, Seminoe, Alcova, Glendoand Guernsey - and Central Nebraska PublicPower and Irrigation District's Lake McConaughy.The system also has large diversion structuresand a circulatory system of canals and lateralsthat delivers irrigation water to hundreds of thou-sands of irrigated acres.

Although most of the reservoirs originally werebuilt only as storage vessels for irrigation waterand, in a few cases for hydropower production,their benefits also include recreation, flood con-trol, municipal and industrial supplies, water forcritical wildlife habitat, and groundwaterrecharge.

Jess said that maze of waterworks is furthercomplicated by interstate compacts and decreesand by first-in-time-first-in-priority water rights.

More recent water supply conflicts involve theeffects of groundwater use on streamflows and ofon-farm conservation measures such as pivot irri-gation systems on runoff that becomes returnflows to the North Platte River.

Those are critical issues for Holdrege-basedCNPPID because Lake McConaughy relies onreturn flows from the Panhandle irrigation proj-ects as its main source of water.Compacts and courts.

In 1923, Nebraska and Colorado officials agreedto what Jess describes as a "self-executing com-pact." It limits upstream water use byColoradoans holding junior (later-issued) waterrights if river flows at Julesburg drop below 120cubic feet per second.

"In that era, that's all they were thinking about,river water," he said.

That's why there were no comprehensive waterplans anticipating other water uses. No one couldhave imagined groundwater-surface water con-nections.

"You can't reverse the clock. You can't turn backthe calendar. ... If you would start over, therewould be a prominent part for wildlife habitat,"Jess said. "That (and recreation) was absolutelyignored until the 1960s."

A 1945 U.S. Supreme Court decree governs howNorth Platte River water is shared by Wyomingand Nebraska.

Wyoming's Pathfinder Dam and Reservoir werebuilt in 1909 to serve downstream irrigation proj-ects, mostly in the Nebraska Panhandle.Guernsey Reservoir, upstream of Torrington,Wyo., was added in 1927 to hold and regulate nat-ural flows and Pathfinder storage water for thoseirrigators.Then came the dry 1930s.

Construction of two new Wyoming reservoirs,Seminoe and Alcova, were proposed at a timewhen Pathfinder wasn't filling. "So there already

was tension over how to use the water," Jess said.Nebraska officials filed a lawsuit in 1934 after

Wyoming's state engineer decided to give Seminoewater the same 1902 priority date as Pathfinderwater. He also was allowing unlimited Wyomingdiversions that ignored the more senior waterrights of downstream irrigators in Nebraska.

Recommendations of the special master in thecase, Michael Doherty of Minneapolis, ultimatelywere approved in a U.S. Supreme Court rulingthat Jess described as a major victory forNebraska.

It allocated the North Platte's natural flows 75percent-25 percent in favor of Nebraska and con-firmed Nebraska water rights by saying senioritymust be based on reservoir construction dates.

"He (Doherty) was striving for some sustainabil-ity here," Jess said, and based part of his recom-mendation on the potential productivity of land ineach state.

A second mid-1980s dispute over Wyoming'splans for the Deer Creek Reservoir to serveCasper's growing municipal needs was settled bya complex water accounting agreement designedto protect Nebraska's water supplies.But who's counting?

"Nobody trusts anybody, so everybody keepstrack," Jess said.

Water accounting in the South Platte and NorthPlatte basins is done by state engineers, Bureau ofReclamation officials and local project managerswho consult daily to see if they agree on the num-bers.

Jess describes the three-state Platte RiverRecovery Implementation Program as "the nextgeneration of agreements" for water use in an erawhen the many demands often exceed supplies.

"We'll have to figure out a way to bear that bur-den among ourselves," he said, and avoid turningto the courts to settle every dispute.

The cattle are steadily gaining weight, and thelocal ranchers who own them are pleased.

There's one subtle difference in this WildcatHills ranching practice from years past. Whilemaximizing the health of the cattle and the landremains a goal, the cattle are now part of a plan toenhance wildlife habitat. This ecologically opti-mized landscape is an asset for multiple users,such as hunters, hikers and birdwatchers.

The Bead Mountain and Murphy tracts areowned by Platte River Basin Environments Inc.and The Nature Conservancy, respectively, andare open to the public. PRBE has developed amanagement plan that includes three objectives:to improve ecological conditions, optimize biodi-versity and "continue the livestock grazing her-itage of this region."

"That's one thing we feel really strongly about isto keep that heritage," said Bob Smith, PRBEmanager.

Including cattle grazing in the managementplan for the PRBE properties is not a nod to nos-talgia. It is critical for the ecology and biodiversi-ty of the area.

It's logical to think that natural areas willreturn to their original, pre-settlement state ifthey are just left alone. However, that's not thecase when human activity has changed an ecosys-tem's functioning.

The ecosystem in the Wildcat Hills developedunder pressure from wildfires and grazing bylarge animals such as bison, elk and deer.

Humans now extinguish hazardous wildfires.Bison no longer roam the area, and human-creat-ed structures hinder the movement of other graz-ers.

As a result, plant debris builds up and causesproblems. It can absorb rainfall that otherwisewould have entered the soil, reduce favorablehabitat for wildlife and increase fire danger.

The landscape needs to be grazed, and cattleturned out on the land are more than happy tooblige.

Smith stressed that for decades, ranchers have

been good stewards of the land."That's why there's open space," he said.However, developing the best possible condi-

tions for native plant communities requires somechanges.

"Historically grasses have been favored overwildflowers. All plant species will benefit underthe new plan," said rangeland ecologist Pat Reece,of Gering, owner of Prairie & MontaneEnterprises.

With Reece's assistance, PRBE has institutedrotational grazing to improve conditions as muchas possible for native plants.

"Rotational grazing" means that all cattle areput into a single pasture during specific 15-20 dayperiods to allow rest periods for the non-grazedareas. The rest periods give the plants mostfavored by the cattle a chance to recover.

"Some species decline rapidly when pastures aregrazed at the same time in consecutive years,"Reece said.

Cattle can gain more weight with moderatestocking rates and rotational grazing because pre-ferred plants are more productive.

Reece developed the rotational grazing plan forthe 4,500 combined acres on Bead Mountain andMurphy ranch. He divided the land into nine pri-mary units.

The sequence in which those units are grazed ischanged every year so no unit is grazed at thesame time in consecutive years. No unit is grazedmore than once during the May-Sept. growth sea-son. Once every three years, each managementunit is kept free of cattle for the entire growingseason to enhance plant vigor.

Water sources and fencing are tailored for bothcattle and wildlife.

Water adequate for the entire cattle herd mustbe developed for each unit. Cattle water tanksmust have "wildlife escape ladders" to preventaccidental drownings. Additional water sourcesare developed for wildlife. Fencing has a wildlife-friendly smooth bottom wire. Fencing aroundriparian areas is all smooth wire.

Smith said some of the funding for thoseimprovements came from cost-share programs

designed to improve land to benefit wildlife.(Landowners interested in pursuing such fundsmay contact Brad McKinney at 308-220-0052 orbrad.mckinney(at)nebraska.gov.) ManagingPRBE's finances "is not easy," Smith said. PRBEpays full property tax, just like any landowner.

PRBE does not own cattle. Rather, the organiza-tion relies on grazing leases to local ranchers.While PRBE earns income from these leases, theland is rented at a lower-than-average rate tocompensate for the consideration given to publicaccess and conservation management.

One of those ranchers is Adam "Hoss" Cross, ofLyman. Cross is currently grazing 400 yearlingheifers in the Bead Mountain-Murphy rotation.He began working with PRBE because he ran cat-tle on the Carter Canyon ranch before PRBE pur-chased it.

"I was a non-believer in this, but Pat Reecehelped me through it," Cross said.

Reece has been hosting workshops for rancherswho want to see how the land functions underrotational grazing.

"It works really well," Cross said.The steers he ran on the Bead Mountain-

Murphy land last year gained 2.58 pounds per dayover the summer. Cross has seen native species ofgrass coming back and a reduction in cheatgrassand weeds. He expects the range to get better astime goes on.

"It really makes a lot of sense to me," he said,noting that the program is good for the communi-ty, lessens the risk of wildfires, benefits wildlifeand brings money in to ranches.

Smith admitted that managing the land for mul-tiple users is a complicated undertaking. Noteveryone is completely happy with compromise,but the involved parties come together to make itwork.

"While I don't agree with everything these guysdo, I do agree with 99 percent of it," Cross said. "Ifthere's a problem, they work it out."

Cross emphasized that PRBE representativesare a great group to work with and are "honestpeople."

Live cattle trade was higher this past week due tofollow-through buying and expectations for highercash trade. We also have the semi-annual cattleinventory numbers this Friday along with theMonthly Cattle on Feed report. The trade has a biastoward a friendly inventory report. The weekly netchanges are $1.22 higher on the August contract andOctober is up $1.30. September feeder cattle are up$1.62. Cash trade was seen mostly at $94/$150 lastweek and asking prices now at $96/$154 to start theweek; for now we expect trade this week to be steadytrade with last week. The cutout value has firmed a

little this week; on Wednesday choice finished at155.52 and select was at 146.50. Packer marginshave been poorer the past few weeks so the cutout isfinally picking up a little to support a higher market.The packer margins were getting tight with the high-er cash trade and flat to lower cutout. On the chart,the trend is up; the next area of resistance is aroundthe $94 area on the August contract. Hedgers callwith questions and look to use this strength.

Lean hog trade dropped and then came back this week,so we have upward momentum heading into Thursdaybut we need to call the chart picture neutral. The week-ly net changes are $.20 lower on the August contract andOctober is down $.07. Spillover support from the cattlepit has helped support hog trade. Cash trade has finallycome back this week following the flat to weak tone thepast month. This is what the futures have priced-in, butwe did stretch up to a new July high on Monday. On thechart, the August contract did challenge key resistanceat the 100-day up at $82.60 but quickly sold off. We havenot yet broke below any support levels, so the jury is stillout on our trend. Hedgers call with questions, continueto look at margins!

eGrain, Inc. said today that the U.SDepartment of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency(FSA) has agreed to a trial system that will allowgrain and oilseed producers and warehouse oper-ators participating in FSA’s price support pro-grams to utilize electronic warehouse receipts(EWRs) for the 2010 crop year. Warehouse opera-tors from selected counties in eight states(Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas) thatissue warehouse receipts to corn, soybean andwheat producers (or their agents) for FSA com-modity loans can participate in the trial system.Banks, marketing firms and any other entitiesthat may become the holder of a warehousereceipt in their normal course of business mayalso participate and eliminate the time andexpense associated with physically handlingpaper warehouse receipts.

After successful verification through theeGrainsm System, producers will be able to useEWRs to quickly and efficiently request loans andloan deficiency payments from their FSA countyoffice in a paperless environment. EWRs can becreated, issued and transferred electronically in amatter of minutes, eliminating the cost andinconvenience of physically transporting ware-house receipts. FSA offices will be able to instant-ly transfer EWRs back, when the loans are

redeemed. The U.S. grain industry has been utilizing the

eGrainsm System to issue, transfer and cancelEWRs since 2006 for marketing and financialtransactions. "FSA’s approval of this trial systemwill now allow participating grain companies tomake use of EWRs for all of their businessprocesses," said Drew Earles, Vice President,eGrain, Inc. "The use of EWRs will greatlyimprove the efficiency of business for all partici-pants."

Currently, grain and oilseed warehouse opera-tors can issue EWRs as collateral for loans withlending institutions, for intra-company transac-tions when relocating grain between warehouses,

A new report from the Congressional BudgetOffice (CBO) that questions the effectiveness ofcorn ethanol has sparked the ongoing debateabout ethanol and the government's role of pro-viding incentives for that industry's growth.

According to the Environmental Work Group(EWG), ethanol state senators are pressing to"attach a long-term extension of biofuel taxbreaks to a Senate energy bill being crafted byDemocratic leaders."

The Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax Credit(VEETC), currently set to expire on Dec. 31,pays oil companies $0.45 per gallon in the formof tax credits to blend ethanol with gasoline.

But the EWG said the CBO released a reporton Wednesday that they say is a "soberingassessment" of corn ethanol's costs and effec-tiveness.

According to the CBO, the key findings fromthe report are:"Because the production ofethanol draws so much energy from coal andnatural gas, it can be thought of as a methodfor converting natural gas or coal to a liquidfuel that can be used for transportation." Itcosts taxpayers $1.78 to reduce gasoline con-sumption by a single gallon by substitutingcorn ethanol. The Department of Energy saysthe retail gasoline price currently averages$2.78. So ethanol's $1.78 a gallon cost to tax-payers is two-thirds of the retail price of gaso-line.

"In these times of tight budgets, growingdeficits and a pressing need to make realprogress on alternative energy, it makes littlesense to continue lavish government supportfor corn ethanol, a fuel that has failed to live upto its promise as an environmentally friendly,financially viable alternative to burning oil,"said Craig Cox, Environmental Working GroupMidwest vice president in EWG's Ames, Iowa,office.

Cox said corn ethanol is really "agriculturepolicy masquerading as energy policy."

"The only beneficiaries of extending theethanol tax credit will be large-scale industrialgrowers of corn " who already enjoy billions intraditional farm subsidies " and the oil compa-nies that blend ethanol with gasoline," Coxsaid.

In June, the Environmental Working Group(EWG) released a report detailing the $17 bil-lion that has been spent since VEETC waspassed by Congress to subsidize corn ethanolblends in gasoline.

According to the report, taxpayers' return ontheir investment has been a reduction in over-all oil consumption equal to a 1.1 mile-per-gal-lon increase in fleet-wide fuel economy. Thereport also said that ethanol's contribution toreducing America's dependence on imported oilis even smaller " the equivalent of .6 of a mileper gallon fleet-wide.

According to EWG, "That degree of energyindependence in corn ethanol could have beenaccomplished for free, rather than from a mas-sive taxpayer investment, by proper tire infla-tion, using the right grade of motor oil, drivingsensibly and better enforcement of speed lim-its."

According to EWG, British Petroleum (BP)and other major oil companies appear to be themain beneficiaries of VEETC. They point to aNational Journal report that BP alone couldstand to reap federal tax credits approaching$600 million this year for blending corn ethanolinto gasoline.

But Bob Dinneen, president of the RenewableFuels Association, said the CBO report "takesthe issue of ethanol tax incentives out of con-text, providing no comparison to other tech-nologies or contrasting the benefits of biofuelsagainst the clear destruction wrought by fossilfuels."

"It may seem penny-wise, but it would bepound-foolish to dismiss the benefits of currentbiofuels in light of the havoc wrought by ourdependence on fossil fuels," Dinneen said.

"Analyzing American energy policy cannotoccur in a vacuum. To effectively address theenergy, environmental and economic problemscaused by our addiction to oil, we need to takea holistic approach. All comprehensive analy-ses demonstrate that ethanol provides a realworld, cost effective tool to reduce dependenceon oil and create domestic jobs. Additionally, asCBO rightly notes, ethanol also reduces carbonemissions compared to gasoline."

Dinneen said tackling the energy problemsthe country faces will neither happen overnightnor for free.

"It will take time and money to transitionfrom a pollution-intensive energy economy toone relying on clean, renewable energies likeethanol," he said.

It will also take a redirection of funds awayfrom fossil fuels to these renewable technolo-gies, Dinneen said.

He points to a recent International EnergyAgency report that found that the world spendsmore than $500 billion annually on fossil fuelsubsidies.

Dinneen said the results have led to "geopo-litical instability, economic havoc as seen bythe spike in oil prices in 2008, and environmen-tal destruction that is unfortunately on displaytoday."

He also said that ethanol production, as tech-nology improves, is constantly improving itsefficiencies.

Dinneen said a recently published study inBiotechnology Letters found that Americanethanol production has reduced water use andoverall energy use by 20 percent and 28 per-cent, respectively, in less than a decade.Simultaneously, he said ethanol biorefineriesare increasing ethanol yields, providing a highvalue livestock feed, and producing additionalco-products such as corn oil that can be used tofurther displace petroleum in products fromdiesel fuel to lubricants.

In a study published in the proceedings of theNational Academy of Sciences, Dinneen saidthat it was determined that advancements infarming saved the world from more drastic cli-mate change by mitigating greenhouse gasemissions that might have otherwise occurred.

"There is no renewable technology availabletoday that can match ethanol's ability to reduceoil use and create jobs, all while emitting fewerclimate changing gases than gasoline," saidDinneen. "New biofuel technologies, like cellu-losic ethanol, promise to provide even greaterbenefits. Unfortunately, it appears CBO haschosen to take a narrow, time constrained lookat the issue and has failed to consider the muchlarger picture."

If there was something new about this year'sHall County Fair, it was the massive constructionproject happening within the Fonner Park campusthat in six weeks will become the new home of theNebraska State Fair.

Close to where the hundreds of Hall County 4-H'ers were showing their animals this year are anumber of huge buildings that will make up one ofthe nation's premiere livestock show facilities.

And that had 4-H'ers and FFA students excitedabout the prospects of the Nebraska State Fairbeing in their backyard.

For Kendall Hostler, 17, of Prairie Wranglers 4-H Club, having the State Fair in Grand Island isan exciting opportunity.

"I have been to the State Fair in Lincoln and it'sa big facility, but this one will be better and I hopeit will bring more people," Hostler said.

She said having it at Fonner Park will be anincentive for more youths to get involved andshow livestock and hundreds of other 4-H projects.

"It will push a lot more people since it is here onour own home grounds," Hostler said.

For Beth Hoban, 17, also a member of thePrairie Wranglers, having the State Fair atFonner Park will be "awesome."

"It will have air conditioning and that means Idon't have to sweat all day long like I'm doingnow," Hoban said. "It will be better facilities thanwhat we have now. It will be nice just to see howeverything turns out."

Hoban also said having the State Fair in GrandIsland will be an incentive for more young peopleto get involved in 4-H.

"I think it will open their eyes a little bit moreabout all the opportunities to have with all theanimals and all the other opportunities that theyhave with 4-H and FFA," she said.

Darrek McNelis, 14, a member of the PrairieWranglers, said the new facilities "mean new andbetter things coming to Grand Island, and it's

going to help out a lot of different stuff aroundhere."

"It will give other people a chance who are tooold to come here (the Hall County Fair), to do theState Fair here and show animals," McNelis said.

He also believes having the State Fair in GrandIsland will be a boost for area 4-H clubs and FFAchapters.

"You have to try hard to achieve that level, butit will be harder now because there will be a lotmore competition," he said.

And Hall County 4-H'ers and FFA membersaren't the only ones excited about the new StateFair livestock facilities. According to Jana Hafer,State Fair livestock superintendent and market-ing director, preliminary indications are that live-stock numbers will be up when the NebraskaState Fair opens for business on Aug. 27 in GrandIsland.

Hafer said they will get a better idea of how biglivestock numbers will be on Aug. 2 when live-stock entries for the fair are due and when 4-Hand FFA numbers start coming in from around thestate following the many local county fairs thatare now occurring.

"We have indications from the youth sector thatnominations are up as well, which is usually anindication that our numbers will be up," she said."From the amount of communications that I'mhaving with people and calls that I'm getting, itseems to be pointing in that direction that we willhave a nice response."

And progress on the hundreds of big and littlejobs that need to be completed on the new live-stock facilities are coming along fine, Hafer said,as those facilities will make their grand premiereon Aug. 27 when the Nebraska State Fair opens inGrand Island.

"We are into the finishing touches," she said.The complex that will contain the show arena,

beef and sheep barn, will cover about a 300,000-square-foot area. Hafer said if the entire complexwould be used and full of cattle ties, that capacitywould be 2,400 head. Just in the sheep barn in the

complex, the facility would be able to hold 1,400sheep. To dedicate the whole facility to sheep, itwould be able to hold more than 2,800 head.

The swine barn is separate from the beef, sheepand show arena and has the capacity to hold about1,600 head of hogs. The swine barn is about80,000 square feet.

"These new facilities are much larger and aremuch more functional than the facilities at the oldState Fair grounds in Lincoln," Hafer said. "It'sreally got all of the different amenities and all thedifferent good things exhibitors are interested inand would want in a facility for those types ofactivities."

Hafer said the new livestock facilities are "rightat the top of the scale" when compared to otherlarger livestock arenas across the country.

According to Kathleen Lodl, assistant dean forextension at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln,4-H'ers at this year's State Fair will exhibit theirprojects in new buildings in a new location withamenities adding comfort and convenience forthem, vendors and the public.

"4-H has always been a huge part of theNebraska State Fair," Lodl said.

State Fair Board President Sallie Atkins ofHalsey said the fair and 4-H make for a greatpartnership.

"Families will be so proud of their new NebraskaState Fair," Atkins said. "We just want everyone tocome and enjoy. It will be so worth it."

The new fair will have climate-controlled, first-class exhibit space, plenty of water, electricity andwash racks for exhibitor animals, and technologysuch as Facebook, blogs and big screens for livestreaming.

The Grand Island fairgrounds feature six newbuildings covering more than a half millionsquare feet, including the 70,000-square-footGrand Island Youth Building for 4-H and FFAexhibitions.

Along with 4-H's tradition is an emphasis on sci-ence, engineering and technology to help furtherthe 21st century work force.

"We listen carefully to users and young people,and keep up with what the research is showingnationwide about trends and workplaces," Lodlsaid.

That is reflected in many new events, somescheduled the first weekend of the 11-day fair.Examples for Aug. 28 include:Fairport, a technol-ogy-driven, interactive activity for all that

It's county fair time in Nebraska. Thousands of 4-H'ers across the state have

spent hundreds of hours individually working ontheir various projects to show at their countyfairs, whether it be livestock projects or the hun-dreds of other projects available to 4-H'ers.

While the kids will get ribbons and some willadvance to the Nebraska State Fair, there's agreater award that will bring a lifetime of achieve-ment and success for the youth by being a memberof the 4-H program.

Last week, hundreds of Hall County 4-H'ersgathered for the annual Hall County Fair atFonner Park.

One of those 4-H'ers was Rachel Wells, 16, ofPrairie Valley 4-H Club. She has been a memberof 4-H for more than five years.

Wells said wanting to learn more about animalswas a motivating factor for her to join the 4-H pro-

gram. Also, the leadership values taught by 4-Happealed to her.

Along with the animal projects, she has alsodone a number of sewing and baking projects forthe fair.

With the many activities available for youngpeople today, Wells said 4-H has always been apriority for her.

"I really can't tell you why that has been," shesaid. "It's fun, I guess."

While 4-H'ers won't dispute the fact that beinginvolved in the program is fun, there are manyother values and life skills taught to young peoplethrough the 4-H program that will help themshape their future.

Wells said 4-H has allowed her to be more confi-dent about herself, or as she described it, "takecontrol" of a situation.

"If you've got a chore to do, don't argue about it,just do it," she said. "It's about doing things."

For example, Wells had a number of livestock

projects for this year's fair. That attitude of "doingthings" also means accepting the responsibilitythat goes along with those projects.

"It's all about taking control and the responsibil-ity that goes along with that," she said.

Those life skills learned through the 4-H pro-gram are paying dividends for Derek Vogt, 20, whois attending the University of Nebraska-Kearney,majoring in agricultural business.

Vogt, who is from Boelus, was at the HallCounty Fair Friday. He became a 4-H'er when hewas 8 years old.

He showed last year at the Hall County Fair.One of the key skills learned from 4-H, Vogt

said, is the social skills that come from being amember of a club.

"It really helped open me up," he said. "I learnedto talk to people more."

But a common theme 4-H'ers say they get out of

6th AnnualThe Tamerack wells can pump

2,000 acre-feet per month andreturn 10,000 a-f to the river whenthere are target flow shortages, hesaid.

A nonprofit organization wasformed by entities in Colorado withfederal licenses or permits thatwant Platte Program coverage fortheir Endangered Species Actrequirements.

Altenhofen said the "90 cents pertap" fee raises $1 million per year,with $800,000 coming from theDenver Water Department. Thatcovers Tamerack pumping costs of$25,000 per month, he said, and

makes the water returned to theriver worth about $60 per acre-foot.

"The cities really need a success-ful three-state program to get theirpermits," he said.

The Northern Colorado WaterConservancy District also workswith ditch companies and other pri-vate water users needing recharge-river augmentation projects to pre-serve their ability to irrigate.

"It all comes back (to the river),minus evaporation," Altenhofen said,explaining that all South PlatteBasin wells, ponds and ditches aremetered, and weather station data isused to estimate evaporation.

EWRs are legally equivalent in every way topaper warehouse receipts and the same businessprocesses apply to both receipt types. In addition,entities utilizing EWRs do not have to worry

about the hassles of safeguarding warehousereceipts since EWRs will never become lost.

eGrain, Inc. has extensive prior experience inworking with FSA beginning with the 2006 betarice pilot program, which allowed the use of EWRsfor rice price support benefits. "Our proven per-formance record with FSA and the grain industryshould make the implementation of this trial sys-tem and the transition to EWRs an efficientprocess," said Earles.

The FSA is undergoing a major project to mod-ernize and innovate farm program delivery sys-

tems (better known as MIDAS) to provide betterservice to customers in today’s internet agethrough the use of web-based technologies andthis EWR trial system is an intermediate processin achieving these goals.

Grain and oilseed businesses, producers, banksand other entities interested in additional infor-mation or in participating in the trial systemshould contact eGrain, Inc.

the program is the importance responsibilityplays in their life. One of the ways they learnresponsibility is through the various 4-H projectsthey work on to show at the county fair.

"You have to feed that animal every day," Vogtsaid.

That sense of responsibility learned from 4-H isa lesson applied in college, he said. And the listgoes on and on.

"I learned about leadership in my club," Vogtsaid. "I was the older one and taught the youngones how to show, how to get ready for fair andother things."

He was a member of the Town and Country 4-HClub.

In giving advice to a younger people about whythey should be a member of 4-H, Vogt said, "Themain thing you have to remember is to have fun.

It's not all about winning. Winning is great, but in10 years you won't remember who won. You willremember how much fun you had. It is one ofthings you learn a lot from, it will always help youthrough life and you meet a lot of neat friends.Your opportunities are limitless."

Molly Gruener, 16, is a member of the DoniphanRustlers 4-H Club. She was a Clover 4-H'er andhas been involved in 4-H for 11 years.

Gruener said it was her family that got herinvolved in 4-H.

"They were very involved in 4-H and they got meinvolved," she said.

And that's another key aspect of the 4-H pro-gram " family involvement.

"I really enjoy being part of 4-H," Gruener said."I love the family involvement. Me and my sister,Kayla, really bond together doing this. It gets

everybody together."And, like other 4-H'ers, the values the program

teaches are important in life, such as hard work.She said preparing her animals for the fair takesa lot of hard work, but it's also loads of fun at thesame time.

"It takes a lot of preparation to get my animalready and you have to stick with it," she said. "Youbond with your animal and how you treat them ishow they will treat you."

And Gruener already has a grasp about whythose values will be important later in life for her.

"When you get a career or a job or anything, youhave to know the work ethic," she said.

Her advice to a young person about joining 4-H:"It's a great idea."

"It helps you build character all around,"Gruener said.

WHAT IF LOCALLY RAISED HOGS SIMPLY DIDN’T EXIST?

www.animalag.orgwww animalag org

Who would step up to replace poultry and livestock producers as the number one customer for your soy?

Where would we get the meat that is responsible for providing most of the protein necessary to feed the world?

And how would we replace the millions of tax dollars that livestock and poultry producers generate to help create new

roads, repair existing ones and build new schools and parks?

Animal agriculture helps your community thrive. That’s why it’s important that we continue to give livestock and poultry

producers our support. Because a safe and secure food supply and a safe and secure rural community both come from the

same place – inside the barns and out in the fields of America’s farmers and producers.

Soybean farmers helping livestock and poultry producers just makes sense.
