Hunting expeditions along thePlatte River are nothing new forJamion Aden of Cozad, but his preythis fall have roots, not fur, fins orfeathers.

Aden and his work partner, MattLinder, are patrolling riverbanks,sandbars and smaller channels byairboat from Odessa to three miles

east of Gibbon looking for non-nativeinvasive plants, specifically phrag-mites.

Their employer, Paulsen Inc.Habitat Services, is under contractwith the Platte Valley WeedManagement Area to do touch-upherbicide spraying of phragmites notkilled by helicopter applicationsdone a year ago.

Other Paulsen teams are doing

similar work west to North Platte.Buffalo County Weed

Superintendent and Platte ValleyWMA Chairman Dick Kincaid saidmost of the river from Kingsley Damin Keith County east to Columbuswas aerial sprayed in 2009 under theoversight of the Platte Valley andWest Central WMAs.

Jamion Aden sprays phragmites on thenorth bank of the Platte River just down-stream of the Kearney bridge with anaquatic-safe herbicide. An airboat providesaccess to invasive vegetation missed by hel-icopter spraying last fall because of powerline and tree interference or other factors.

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

During the past twoweeks, several roundsof significant moisturehit parts of easternNebraska, with consid-erably lighter totalsacross the western halfof the state. Rainfall of3-6 inches was reportedacross extreme north-eastern Nebraska on10/18, with widespread1-2 inch totals reportedduring the 10/23-10/24time frame from central

through eastern Nebraska. Dry conditions, withlimited moisture, continue across western Nebraskaand no-till wheat producers are reporting difficultyplanting winter wheat. According to weather mod-els, the recent stretch of dry weather which beganstatewide on 9/26 will likely be the norm during thenext two weeks. The corn crop was rated at 78%mature on 9/26, double last years rating, with theremaining crop likely to mature during the next 10

days. Ten percent of the corn had been harvested asof 9/26 and will likely push 50% or more if the most-ly dry forecast indicated by the models during thenext two weeks does indeed verify.

Week One Forecast: 10/2-10/8: The recent stretchof dry weather is likely to continue through the firsthalf of the forecast period as the expansive upper airridge centered over the western and central U.S.gradually shifts east. Highs on 10/2 will range fromthe upper 50's northeast to upper 70's over thePanhandle. Highs should warm into low 70's east tomid 80's west on 10/3, with low to mid 80's likelystatewide on 10/4. The ridge will continue to shifteastward on 10/5 which will allow for the formationof low pressure over eastern Colorado. Models indi-cate rainfall will develop across western Nebraskaduring the morning hours, then spread eastwardthroughout the day. Central Nebraska is currentlytargeted by the models as the most likely area toreceive an inch of moisture, with the remainder ofthe state generally seeing less than 0.50 inches ofmoisture. High temperatures on 10/5 are projectedto range from the upper 50's northwest to low 80'ssoutheast. Some lingering showers are possible

across eastern Nebraska on 10/6, but models indi-cate the brunt of moisture will shift to the southernPlains. Highs on 10/6 are projected to be in the 70'sstatewide. Models indicate high pressure will dom-inate the region during the 10/6-10/8 period, withhighs confined to the low to mid 70's.

Week Two Forecast: 10/9-10/15: Weather modelsindicate that this period should be dominated by dryweather, with the only opportunity for moisture con-fined to 10/11 when a cold front is projected to dropsoutheastward from southern Canada. Moistureappears limited with totals at this time projected tobe less than 0.25 inches. There are hints that freez-ing temperatures could impact the eastern half ofthe state on 10/12, but the core of the cold air is fore-casted to impact areas east of the Nebraska. Highsduring the 10/9-10/10 period are projected to rangefrom the low 70's east to upper 70's west, then cool-ing into the mid 50's northeast to mid 60's south-west during the 10/11-10/12 period. Warmer tem-peratures return to the region during the 10/13-10/15 period. Highs are projected to be in the mid60's east to low 70's west on 10/13, with low 70's eastto upper 70's west on 10/14 and 10/15.

Cooler weather is starting to set in now! As weare enjoying this cool weather, fall foliage, brightchrysanthemums and all the pumpkins, we needto think about winterizing yards and landscapes.Here are a few chores to be working on or at leastbe thinking about!

· Dig up and store tender bulb plants such ascannas, caladium and dahlias before the firstfrost. These bulbs will not survive in the groundover the winter. They need to be stored in a drycool place such as a basement, an insulated toolshed or garage.

· Disconnect and drain all garden hoses so thewater doesn’t freeze up in the hose.

· Drain lawn sprinkler systems and winterizethe system to avoid winter damage.

· Drain water out of garden fountains. Removethe pump and store it in a safe place for the win-ter. If the fountain can be moved into a shed orgarage, this will help reduce the chance of freez-ing water being trapped in the fountain bowlsand pools. If the fountain cannot be moved, coverit with a fountain cover bag or a tarp.

· Plant hardy fall bulbs such as tulips, daf-fodils, hyacinths and crocus.

· Fertilize existing bulb beds for good bloomquality next spring!

· Remove dead garden debris out of the gar-den. Destroyed diseased or blighted plant mate-rial. Healthy plant material can be added to acompost pile.

· Remove leaves off the yard. Leaves can beadded to compost piles or tilled into garden beds.

· Clean leaves and debris out of house guttersto avoid plugged gutters that could freeze up.

· Cut back and winterize rose bushes byThanksgiving.

· Apply a layer of mulch around perenniallandscape plants to help insulate them for thewinter.

· Clean out garden pond pumps so they areready for next year. If you have fish in the pond,consider installing a water heater to keep thefish alive over the winter.

· Remove shallow garden pond plants to awarm location to survive the winter. Deep watergarden plants such as water lilies can be set inthe deepest part of the pond.

· Put away yard furniture in a safe storageplace to avoid cracking and winter damage.

· Clean all debris and soil from garden tools. Abroken piece of brick seems to do a good job ofscouring of debris and soil away. Store gardentools to avoid winter damage and rusting.

This is a very short list of potential chores totake care of in the garden or the yard. If you haveany questions about these winterizing tips,please send an e-mail to dlott2@unl.edu, by call-ing (308) 696-6781, or by contact your localUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln ExtensionOffice. Have a great week!

Fall Yard and Garden Cleaning Tips!

Submitted by Brenda Aufdenkamp, UNL Extension Educator in Lincoln County

In the United States about three of every fivehomes have a family pet. If you find yourself oneof those parents contemplating pet ownership,here are some facts to think about. Yes, pets canbe a lot of work to care for; there’s the feeding,the walking, cleaning their cage or home andthose unexpected veterinary bills.

According to the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, pet ownership can help lowerblood pressure as well as cholesterol and triglyc-eride levels. For youth, pet ownership can pro-vide a means of learning and fact finding. Youthwill learn to make decisions, examine what isneeded with pet ownership, and be responsiblefor something beyond themselves.

The 4-H Companion Animal project helpsyouth learn about their pets as well as helps tolead the entire family through how to select the

“Best Family Pet”. Use the following questions tolead your family through the decision of pet own-ership.

1. What could a pet add to our family? 2. What are our favorite pets? 3. Who would be willing to help care for a pet? 4. Where would be the best place to keep a pet? 5. How will be cover the costs associated with

our new pet?Ultimately, it seems as though the benefits of

pet ownership can outweigh the majority of dis-advantages. In particular, there appears to besufficient evidence that pets can alleviate stress,pets can improve one’s self-esteem, and manypeople find their pets to be great conversationstarters. The decision of pet ownership needs tobe explored by the entire family.

Information for this article was adapted fromthe 4-H curriculum titled, Pet Pals, 4-H CCS BU-06359.

Selecting A Family Pet

It seems like no matter how much correct infor-mation is spread about food safety, incorrectmyths and rumors still manage to infiltratehomes and wreak havoc as families cook, eat andstore food. Below are four myths that seem toparticularly plague consumers and informationon what people really should do.

First, when sanitizing countertops with bleachand water, using more bleach does not meanmore bacteria will be killed. In fact, using toomuch bleach can be dangerous because it couldremain on surfaces or end up on food, and bleachis not safe to consume. The recommended ratiofor sanitizing solution is 1 tablespoon of unscent-ed liquid bleach per gallon of water. Wash thecountertops with the solution, allow it to sit for afew minutes and then let it air dry or pat thearea with clean, dry paper towels. Any leftoversolution should be lightly covered and stored forup to one week. After that, the bleach will lose itseffectiveness.

Second, produce should always be washed,even if it is peeled. Fresh fruits and vegetablesshould be placed under running tap water justbefore eating, cutting or cooking. Harmful bacte-ria may be on the outside of the produce, and itcould be transferred to the part that is eaten ifthe produce is not washed before being peeled orcut. Wash delicate produce, like grapes or let-tuce, under cool, running water and then blotthem dry with a clean cloth towel or paper towel.

Rub firm-skin produce under running tap wateror scrub them with a clean produce brush. Neveruse detergent or bleach to wash fruits or vegeta-bles.

Third, standing time for microwaveable foodsis not optional or recommended just so peopledon't burn themselves. Standing time is animportant part of the cooking process because itmakes sure food reaches a safe internal temper-ature. Letting food stand allows the center of thedish to finish cooking without overcooking theouter edges of the dish that cook faster. Whenmicrowave cooking, always read and follow pack-age instructions, know the microwave's wattageand use a food thermometer to ensure the foodhas reached a safe internal temperature.

Finally, leftovers are safe to eat until theysmell bad, right? Wrong. Although foods thatsmell bad and have little green things growing onthem should be thrown out, the types of bacteriathat cause illness do not affect the taste, smell orappearance of food. Because of this, it is impor-tant to freeze or toss refrigerated leftovers with-in three to four days. If leftovers have been set-ting in the refrigerator for an unknown amountof time, don't take the risk – when in doubt,throw it out!

D o u b l e H e a d e r sby Lee Pitts

I’ve been trying to breed a three-tailedlamb or a six-legged dog for decades nowand haven’t had any luck, and then I hearabout some dude in Egypt whose cow gavebirth to a double-headed calf. Some guyshave all the luck.

Remember as a child going to the circusand giving up a hard-earned quarter to seea sheep with the head of a goat? Or a oneton sow, or a 3,000 pound steer? Freakishanimals have been a staple of sideshowsand circuses ever since Barnum met Bailey.

I’ve seen two-headed animals in jars offormaldehyde at Ripley’s Believe It Or Notand once paid a whole dollar to see a horsewith the head of a pig. I was very disap-pointed with the horse/pig combo for tworeasons: #1 because I could see the stitcheswhere the taxidermist did a poor job ofattaching the two, and, #2, because I reallywanted to believe that it was possible tohave a horse that could eat, think andsmell like a pig. Oh, I forgot... I already hada horse like that.

Because such freaks of nature don’t popup often they are extremely valuable. Theguy in Egypt says he’s going to keep histwo-headed calf but I think he’ll change hismind when he’s offered the $25,000 expertsbelieve it could bring at auction. Qualifiedveterinarians believe the calf will surviveand it could be a real show stopper becauseeach head has its own set of eyes andmouth. I wonder, after its mother takes onelook at the calf and runs away do you then

bottle feed each head or just one?There have been double-headers before.

According to an article by Marc Hartzmansuch a calf was born in 1936 on a dairyfarm in California. The dairyman obviouslyhad the same morbid sense of humor as I dobecause he named one head Dolly and theother Rolly. All four eyes blinked at onceand, get this, Dolly ate the food while Rollychewed the cud. Tell me that’s not the neat-est thing you’ve ever heard!

When it comes to freaks, dairymen haveall the luck. I remember reading about awhite Holstein and about the only black onher coat was in the shape of MickeyMouse’s head. I heard Disney bought herfor a lot of money. I once had a crossbredcow that if you looked real hard and drankenough beer you could see the profile ofAbraham Lincoln, but she died and I had topay Buzzard Bill the tallow man to haul heraway.

I should have had all sorts of freaks in myherd because I was too cheap to buy enoughbulls, so brothers often bred sisters andfathers their daughters. But the closest Iever came to a “cash cow” was a heifer thatwalked sideways. She was good for a lot oflaughs and was really entertaining towatch until you tried to herd her, or run herup a chute. No one wanted to pay me bigbucks for her either, especially the cow buy-ers who, as we all know, have no apprecia-tion for modern art. They got what theydeserved, I’m sure, when they bought her at

auction and then had to unload her out ofa truck.

The circuses were also NOT interested inour Berkshire hog that looked like W.C.Fields, or a calf that sounded exactly likeBarbra Streisand when it bawled “The WayWe Were.” I think circus goers would havereally liked a bull we bought that camefrom Montana. Its tail was half frozen offand when he went to the bathroom I swearhe looked exactly like a 1,800 poundGerman Shorthair pointing for quail.

Kids loved our horse that I could makelaugh but we never made a nickel off himand our three legged dog was not born thatway but was the result of catching up to thecar she was chasing. We once owned a pigthat could grunt, eat and wallow in mud allat the same time, which is not all that rareif you’ve ever seen Congress in session. Mybest chance for immortality though was adeformed carrot that I grew in our gardenthat looked exactly like an anatomicallycorrect male. I was wiped out financiallythough when my wife, not realizing thetreasure she held in her hands, cut up thecarrot and put him in a salad.

Melt butter in a skillet, then brown the chickenbriefly on both sides in the butter- just a few min-utes each side to brown but not cook all the waythrough yet. Once browned, add wine and 1/4 cupof water. Cover pan and let simmer 15-20 minuteson medium-low heat- until chicken is no longerpink and completely cooked through.Removecooked chicken from the pan using a slotted spoonand set on two plates. Remove toothpicks.

Whisk together 1 Tbsp of water and the corn-starch well and add to the pan juices. Whisk untilblended and cook and stir until thickened slightly,add more salt and pepper if needed. Ladle overchicken and sprinkle parsley over tops.

National Security Over Politicsby Senator Mike Johanns

This is one reason why people are angry atCongress: the Majority party in the Senate hashijacked a bill supporting our military efforts andloaded it with its own social policy initiatives.With our nation at war; thousands of Americansputting their lives on the line for our freedom andsecurity every day; and our military dependingupon its government to provide it with necessarysupport; such an endeavor is simply indefensible.This misguided effort is a last gasp to score politi-cal points before the November election. That itcomes at the expense of our military is a tragedy.

Every year, Congress must pass a DefenseAuthorization bill to authorize funding for our mil-itary efforts around the globe. One would think it'sa no-brainer to simply pass the authorization andthen focus on other issues like job creation – butwhen an election is at stake, the Majority hasdefied common sense. Issues completely unrelatedto our national defense, such as "Don't Ask, Don'tTell," abortion, and even illegal immigration have

been interjected into the bill and turned legisla-tion we can all agree on into a game of politics.

When the debate over "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"rose to a boil earlier this year, the Department ofDefense initiated an internal review of the policyand pledged to report its findings. To repeal thelaw before this review can be complete would, inthe words of General George Casey, "be seen by themen and women of the Army as a reversal of ourcommitment to hear their views before moving for-ward." This has been our military's policy since1993 and should not be cast aside lightly.

If that were not enough, other social policychanges have been slipped into the bill. If theDefense Authorization were to pass as is, electiveabortions would be allowed in military hospitals,overturning policy that has been in place since1995. Majority Leader Harry Reid has even indi-cated he will use the defense bill as a vehicle forpassing amnesty for certain illegal immigrants –the DREAM Act.

Senator Reid has defended himself by sayingthese initiatives are in fact related to defensespending. Yet even if that was the case, some ofthem have yet to even be approved by the relevantSenate committee. The DREAM Act has beenassigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee, notthe Armed Services Committee – which ought tosay something about how relevant it is to nationaldefense. Little about this disingenuous effortremotely resembles a credible effort at legislating.Our responsibility to provide support for ourtroops has turned into a political football, with oneside trying to get an unrelated wish list over thegoal line before the elections.

There is a time and a place for debating domes-tic and social policy – saddling it on the backs ofour military men and women is not it. Exploitingour troops and everything they stand for to scorepolitical points and advance a partisan agenda isnot only inappropriate, it is inexcusable.

Anyone who travels through Nebraska can’t helpbut notice the number of small businesses we havein our state. The number of small employers inNebraska totals 41,288 according to figures fromthe Small Business Administration Office ofAdvocacy.

That amounts to nearly 97 percent of all employ-ers in Nebraska and accounts for more than half ofour private sector employment.

Backbone of America’s EconomyIn the past 15 years small businesses have cre-

ated two-thirds of all new jobs. However, the reces-sion has hit small businesses particularly hardand they are in need of help. Since December 2007small businesses have lost more than 6 millionjobs across our country. The good news is there arethings we can do to help turn that around.

One of the major concerns I’ve heard fromNebraska’s small business owners as they come into visit me is the lack of capital available becauseof financial institutions’ fear to lend after the reck-lessness of Wall Street.

New Lending PoolThis is why the Senate approved a small busi-

ness jobs package that would include a $30 billionlending pool, so small community banks canextend their lending to small employers in order tounlock capital that has been so scarce.

The bill also provides $12 billion in tax cuts forsmall businesses that will help create the righteconomic conditions for small businesses to createas many as 500,000 new jobs.

Some incorrectly called this another bailout butit’s not because it only allows resources to go tohealthy community banks, not emergency aid forcollapsing big banks that threatened to take oureconomy down.

To make this small business legislation evenmore attractive, it pays for itself and does not addto the nation’s debt. The non partisanCongressional Budget Office says the provisionwill actually create a $1.1 billion surplus that goesback to the treasury.

Besides creating a half million jobs, a $30 billionlending pool, and $12 billion in tax cuts the Small

Business Jobs Act rewards entrepreneurs forinvesting in new small businesses and helps MainStreet businesses compete with large corporations.

Strong SupportThe bill is really good news for our small busi-

nesses, which is why it had the support of theNebraska Independent Community Bankers, theU.S. Chamber of Commerce, the IndependentCommunity Bankers of America and 28 state com-munity bank associations, the National SmallBusiness Association, the National Association forthe Self Employed, Small Business Majority, theConference of State Bank Supervisors, theNational Bankers Association and the AmericanBankers Association. The bill also enjoyed biparti-san support in the Senate and passed on a vote of61 to 38.

If there is one thing both Democrats andRepublicans can agree on, it’s that small business-es are a critical part of our country’s economicengine and the job creators who are going to fuelthe recovery.

Recently we unveiled the findings of a study thatprovided a detailed look at Nebraska’s businessclimate. The report was compiled by the country’sforemost researchers of innovation and research.The study recommended strategies to capitalize onexisting resources in our state.

The result provides a roadmap for directingNebraska’s future economic development. It helpsus better understand Nebraska’s strengths andcompetitive advantages. It highlights opportuni-ties for better collaboration among schools, col-leges and businesses. The study also offers ideasfor accelerating innovation in communities acrossour state.

The report was very good news for Nebraska.Our state has an unusually diverse economy withat least 12 industries positioned for growth. Someof those industries include: renewable energy,transportation-warehousing and logistics compa-nies, hospitality and tourism, food processors,research and development, and the biosciences.Each of these sectors has a connection toNebraska’s single largest industry: agriculture.The study demonstrates the critical role agricul-ture plays in our economic strength. Other stand-outs for our state include financial services-relat-

ed firms and computer and software service com-panies.

Three initiatives were identified as key to ourfuture competitiveness in America’s new economylandscape. The first recommendation is aimed atproviding tailored support to encourage develop-ment of our growing industries.

The study found that virtually every county inNebraska has potential for development in thefield of hospitality and tourism. One possibility forstimulating new development in this growingindustry is to establish a new state park to providerecreation and expanded lodging options for visi-tors to the central and western parts of our state.

Developing a strong talent pool and connectingtalented professionals and recent graduates withhigh-skill jobs in Nebraska is another strategy forhelping advance Nebraska’s strategic growth.

The report recommends developing a paidinternship program to help employers recruit andtrain future staff. Using a portion of our existingjob training funds to partner with businesses inestablishing a statewide internship programwould help employers recruit and train futurestaff, particularly in specialized fields. Internshipsprovide college-age students with experience and

job training. A statewide program could help con-nect many of our future graduates with jobs atNebraska’s highly-skilled and fast-growing compa-nies.

The final set of recommendations involves sup-porting the innovation and expansion of Nebraskacompanies. One way to assist Nebraska’s growth-oriented companies is to create an angel invest-ment tax credit to attract new investment to inno-vative start-up ventures or companies ready toexpand. This could help entrepreneurs raise thecapital they need while providing an incentive forindividuals and venture capital firms that investin Nebraska’s innovators.

Nebraska is fortunate to have so many indus-tries that are strong and that contribute to oureconomy. It means our opportunities for growthare very diverse. Our challenge is to focus onattracting more specialized and advanced compa-nies within these clusters.

This report provided a comprehensive survey wecan use in our efforts to continue building an econ-omy focused on technology and innovation. Thefeedback we received was positive and will be use-ful as we begin to develop and implement new pro-posals.

October Pork Month Kicks off 3rd Annual Pork and Bean Recipe ContestContest sponsored by the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission and Nebraska Pork Producers Association

In Omaha's Westside school district, lunchworkers have been serving up a who's who of freshtomatoes: beefsteak, zebra and more.

Also on the menu in August and September werezucchini, cucumbers, watermelon and cantaloupe.Acorn squash and potatoes will appear this fall.

What the various veggies and fruits have incommon is that all were grown locally: the toma-toes in O'Neill, Neb., the zucchini near FortCalhoun, Neb., and the cucumbers, watermelonand more zucchini in Honey Creek, Iowa.

Locally grown foods are by no means replacingthose from distant sources. But more schools inNebraska and Iowa now are slipping -- a bit at atime -- locally produced foods onto schoolchildren'slunch trays.

Locally grown products are seen as more nutri-tious because they get from field to plate faster,with less time to lose nutrients. School officialssay kids are more likely to try fruits and vegeta-bles if they know where they come from or have ahand in growing or preparing them.

Tapping local markets also creates opportuni-ties for area farmers.

The Omaha Public Schools are making plans toserve Jisa's Farmstead Cheese, made in Brainard,Neb., in December as part of a yearlong education-al focus on dairy products.

The Council Bluffs Community School Districtrecently served apples -- some 4,500 of them --grown at Ditmars Orchard in Council Bluffs at itselementary schools.

OPS's Western Hills Magnet Center has a gar-den and has offered a farmers market, and itsKellom Elementary is building a garden and small

greenhouse. The school has held the first of fourafter-school farmers markets.

Lincoln and Grand Island schools have pur-chased locally grown melons through their suppli-ers, while a Central City, Neb., food service man-ager goes straight to a local roadside market.

Nationally, more than 10,000 schools now areparticipating in a farm-to-school program, saidDebra Eschmeyer, communications director forthe National Farm to School Network, a nonprofitgroup working to help connect schools with localfarmers.

Eschmeyer said data collected indicate thatfarm-to-school programs increase fruit and veg-etable consumption by at least a serving a day.That has spawned interest in such programs as atool in fighting childhood obesity.

One piece of a $5.7 million federal grant theDouglas County Health Department received thisyear will help facilitate a local farm-to-school ini-tiative.

A complementary piece will focus on developingschool gardens. A number of area schools and childcare centers already have them.

The focus of the grant will be to make thehealthy choice the easy choice, whether that'soffering fruit with doughnuts at church coffees orinstalling bike racks, said Mary Balluff, theHealth Department's division chief for communityhealth and nutrition services.

The main aim of the farm-to-school portion ofthe grant is to make it easier for schools to buylocal products.

The Center for Human Nutrition at theUniversity of Nebraska Medical Center, which isleading the farm-to-school portion of the grant,will help schools overcome barriers, said Amy

Yaroch, the center's executive director.Schools that participate in the federal school

lunch program, for example, have to abide by cer-tain purchasing policies, including seeking thebest price, she said. But recent changes in federalrules provide ways to specify local products.

It's important for schools to get involved, Yarochsaid, because kids spend a good portion of theirdays there. If kids try something at school, theymay ask for it at home.

For now, however, schools largely are growingtheir own programs. A few are buying directlyfrom growers or producers. Others go through reg-ular distributors or wholesalers who seek out localsupplies.

Diane Zipay, nutrition services director in theWestside school district, has spent Sunday morn-ings at farmers markets, talking with farmers.

She said she feels confident in the safety of thefood she's buying because she's purchased producefrom the same growers for her own table for years.

But lining up enough to fill out a menu writtenweeks in advance can be tricky. In addition toserving its own students, Westside's food serviceoperation provides meals for students at 11parochial and private schools in the area.

At one point, Zipay didn't have enough zucchini.She had to buy some from another source.

Some fresh, local food items can be a bit morepricey. For those that are, Zipay finds other waysto cut expenses.

To aid its shift, the district also has added somenew equipment: a new produce washer at the mid-dle school and small steamers for its elementaryschools. Steaming cooks veggies with less nutrientloss than boiling.

Schools Go Locally Grown Goal is to Make the Healthy Choice the Easy Choice

Corn trade has been lower this week due to posi-tion squaring ahead of the Thursdays USDAreport. The weekly net change was 8 lower on theDecember contract. The USDA Quarterly Grainand Stocks report was released on Thursday, whichshould keep trade active near-term. The September1 corn stocks number, which is also going to be thelatest old crop carryover number, came in at 1.7 bil-lion bushels which was 300 thousand bushels high-er than the average trade guess. This has createdsome liquidation that could lead to follow throughselling. Nearby support on the December chartshould be seen from $4.60-70. If the crop size getssmaller and ethanol margins stay positive then weshould take another shot at the highs within thenext few weeks. The EIA reported today that theJuly US ethanol production was a record 1.116 bil-lion gals. They estimated that the industry con-sumed 399 million bushels of corn this monthwhich was up 17% from this time a year ago.Ethanol inventories also declined to 747 milliongallons, which was down 4.4% from June. The cropprogress had mature corn at 85% versus the 65% 5-year average and 35% last year. Harvest progresswas at 27% versus 6% last year and the 15% 5-yearaverage. Crop conditions were down 2% to 66%good to excellent which is also 2% lower than lastyear. As long as the weather dries out harvestprogress should be big through the first two weeksof October. We could be close to 2/3rds complete.Crop ratings were steady at 68% good to excellent.The weekly export sales were reported at 925,900tons, which was above expectations. Hedgers callwith questions.

Wheat trade is lower this week due to profittaking by market longs. The weekly net changeis 37 lower on the Chicago contract. ImprovedRussian weather forecasts and spillover pres-sure from corn have been noted for the weak-ness. The Ukraine Prime Minister commentedthat the government will consider wheat exportquotas or embargoes over the next few weeks inan attempt to fight rising food costs there. TheUSDA Quarterly grain report was neutral forwheat. All wheat output was reported at 2.22billion bushels versus expectations of 2.26 bil-lion, but wheat stocks came in at 2.459 billionversus expectations of 2.43 billion. The weeklyexport sales were 630,800 tons of old crop, butnew crop 2011/12 saw net cancellations of 2,500tons. The crop progress report listed winterwheat plantings at 33% versus the 38% 5-yearaverage. The spring wheat harvest was listed at89% complete versus the 98% 5-year average.The slow spring wheat harvest is due to mois-ture which is keeping the winter wheat plant-ings slow; this may lead to fewer HRW wheatacres for our 2011 production year. This shouldsupport KC versus Chicago. Hedgers call withquestions.

November 2010 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has been lower this week due tospillover pressure from the corn and wheat mar-kets. The weekly net change is 16 lower onNovember beans. Early yield expectations remainpositive which may lead to selling interest near-term, but index fund reallocation could still putadditional money into the bean market once profitsare taken on corn and wheat. The USDASeptember 1 stocks number came in at 151 millionwhich was as expected. The bean report was neu-tral, but the negative corn report may pull beanslower. The World Vegoil conference over the week-end raised expected world demand by 7 milliontons. This should continue to support the soy oilmarket, which should also limit downside in thebean complex. The crop progress listed 77% of thecrop dropping leaves versus the 72% 5-year aver-age. The harvested number was at 17% versus the13% 5-year average. Crop conditions wereunchanged at 63% good to excellent. The weeklyexport sales were reported at 1.73 million tons forthe 10/11 year, which was above expectations.

Lower Loup Natural Resources District farmerswho applied to add irrigated acres in 2011 mayknow as early as the Oct. 28 NRD board meetingif their proposals are accepted.

Board members were told at their meetingThursday in Ord that applications have beenreceived to irrigate about 11,000 new acres,LLNRD General Manager Leon Koehlmoos said.

That compares with 12,925 acres submitted lastfall for irrigation in 2010. The 41 applicationsapproved totaled 2,003 acres, with parcels rangingfrom 4-132 acres and small adjustments onalready certified irrigated acres to full pivots.

The application period for 2011 was Sept. 1-20.The LLNRD staff has started ranking applica-tions, which will be pared to the 2,000 acresallowed.

"I know we'll definitely beat that Dec. 1timetable" to approve the new acres, Koehlmoossaid. He won't be surprised if the list is ready for

board approval on Oct. 28.Tuesday, the directors were shown how an appli-

cation is run through a ranking system model.Koehlmoos said that for the 2010 acres, weight

was given to river depletion factors. That meantmore points were awarded for land farther fromstreams.

This year, the points for soil types were doubled.He said the goal is to get land that is more leveland has soils better suited for irrigation.

"We are going to better soils than we did lastyear and slightly closer to streams," Koehlmoossaid, explaining that some new irrigated acresapproved for 2010 are on pretty rough ground.

He said last fall's applications were scatteredacross the district, which includes northernBuffalo, most of Custer and all of Sherman coun-ties in Hub Territory. There seems to be more newapplications for the eastern part of the district,which runs to Columbus.

The expansion of irrigated acres is possiblebecause the Loup and Elkhorn basins haven't

been designated by the Nebraska Department ofNatural Resources as fully appropriated. A mora-torium on new wells remains in place within theLLNRD, but the board decided in 2009 to allowdevelopment of up to 10,000 new irrigated acresover four years.

In other business, the board approved minorrule changes for a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Oct.28 during the regular board meeting at theLLNRD's Ord office. Koehlmoos said the biggestissue is to include a definition of "water banking"in the rules.

He also reported that repairs were completed onthe Big Slough drop structure south of Dannebrog.A concrete block chute was replaced with sheetpiling 80 feet wide across the waterway.

Koehlmoos said there was some damage to thestructure in 2009 and more with this year's springand summer flooding. The LLNRD's contributionsto the project done with Howard County wereabout $12,400 and in-kind services.

However, weather didn't allow spraying in twogaps, one in Keith County and a section betweenGibbon and Wood River. Those areas were fin-ished within the past three weeks, Kincaid said.

Airboat patrols are catching smaller infesta-tions of phragmites that couldn't be sprayed byhelicopters because of power lines, an overstoryof trees or crops growing near the riverbank, hesaid.

"It's the nooks and crannies where you don'twant (herbicide) drift or don't have access,"Kincaid said.

Aden and Linder use Platte River water to mixthe aquatic-safe Habitat herbicide in tanks onthe airboat. Spraying on riverbanks and smallsandbars can be done from the boat. On largersandbars, they use a long hose stored on a boat-mounted reel.

"We spray anything from the bank to 200 to 300feet off the bank," Aden said Wednesday morning,as long as weather conditions, particularly windspeed and direction, allow.

The team has worked between Gibbon and theMinden bridge for the past two weeks. They juststarted on the segment from Minden to Kearney,which is expected to take another two weeks.

Aden said the high water levels in the Platteare helping them. "We're able to get down somechannels we weren't able to get to in the last yearor two," he said.

The water conditions aren't favorable tomechanically removing phragmites sprayed last

year and other channel-clogging vegetation suchas willows.

Platte Valley WMA Project Coordinator RichWalters said the water is too high now to do thatkind of work, which was planned for the mainchannel in western Buffalo and eastern Dawsoncounties upstream of Elm Creek. However, somecontractors are making progress on side chan-nels.

Central Nebraska Public Power and IrrigationDistrict officials plan to continue water releasesfrom Lake McConaughy for optimum generationat downstream hydropower plants. That's expect-ed to result in higher river flows all winter.

"Mother Nature may take care of some of that(vegetation removal) with the high water flows,"Kincaid said.

Meanwhile, he and Walters have patrolled theSouth Loup River in recent weeks scouting forphragmites, determining if what's found is nativeor non-native, and spraying non-native phrag-mites and any purple loosestrife found in thechannel or upland areas.

Kincaid said an area from Boelus east to CusterCounty was covered last week. "We're probablydone in Buffalo County and now ready to go intoCuster County," he said.

Helicopters were used to survey the South Loupfor invasive plants. "We're seeing a lot more upclose," Kincaid said.

When the South Loup is finished, he expectsthat similar inspections will be done in theMiddle and North Loup basins.

At the same time, the district also has addedmore local suppliers for a variety of other products,including bread and cereal. It also has begun cook-ing more items from scratch: cookies and otherbaked goods, chicken tenders to serve with lo meinnoodles and pork butts for barbecue.

Garden Fresh Vegetables in O'Neill so far hasmade a couple of 500-pound deliveries of freshtomatoes to Westside. And the produce companywould like to add more schools to the list of restau-rants and grocery stores it supplies, said JohnMcGuire, sales manager.

It's good for kids, he said, and it creates jobs inthe metropolitan area and in O'Neill. GardenFresh, which also operates the Tomato, Tomätoretail store near 156th Circle and West CenterRoad, expects to double its greenhouse capacityfrom 10 acres to 20 acres by December.

Jody Fritz, who works for and owns an interestin Garden Fresh, is particularly excited to see thegreenhouses' products in schools. Her daughters,Sylvia, 8, and Madeline, 6, attend TrinityChristian School, one of those catered by Westside.

Trinity's hot lunch is served by volunteers, soshe's the lunch lady once a month. "For them,there's obviously the novelty of Hey, those are ourtomatoes.' "

But it's also more like what they eat at home."It just works on so many levels," Fritz said. "For

producers, for people who are eating the food."

The eighth annual Nebraska Youth BeefLeadership Symposium, Nov. 20-22 at theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln, will introduceNebraska high school students to beef industrycareers, current issues and an opportunity to usetheir leadership skills in a product developmentactivity.

In addition, four $500 scholarships for UNL'sCollege of Agricultural Sciences and NaturalResources will be presented.

The three-day symposium, geared towardNebraska high school juniors and seniors, fea-tures presentations on goal setting, leadershipdevelopment, food safety and international beefpromotions, said Dennis Brink, UNL animal sci-entist. Students also will experience presenta-tions in beef quality assurance and the latestmeat science technologies.

"This educational symposium will give studentshands-on presentations on innovative cattle pro-

duction practices and a variety of other opportuni-ties from marketing to networking with sponsorsand panel members," Brink said.

A career opportunity discussion and banquetwill be the evening of Nov. 21. Several peopleworking in different segments of the beef industrywill give their perspectives on the importance of acollege education and the variety of career oppor-tunities. Numerous career areas within the beefindustry will be represented by the panel mem-bers.

A marketing project will allow students to takeon the role of a national retailer or restaurantchain. Students will be responsible for creating anew beef product and designing a final marketingplan presentation.

"NYBLS is a great opportunity and experienceyou can't afford to miss, even if you are remotelyinterested in animal science, and livestock, espe-cially beef cattle. It's a great way to meet new

friends who are interested in the same things youare, and get to know the Animal Science Facultyat UNL too. I've had an amazing time at NYBLSand met some great people," said Kyle Clymer, apast NYBLS participant.

Nebraska Youth Beef Leadership Symposium

Matt Stockton, Assistant Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics, Universityof Nebraska-Lincoln, West Central Research andExtension Center

Brian Williams, Ph.D. Student Department ofAgricultural Economics, Oklahoma StateUniversity

A recent study done by the Department ofAgricultural Economics, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, investigates the predictive power of phys-ical characteristics exhibited by steer calves, atand prior to weaning, on profits associated withweaned calf retention. Historically, retained own-ership of beef cattle calves owned from birththrough the finishing stage of production by a sin-gle owner, has been found to be a profitableendeavor for cow-calf producers. Despite thesefindings, observed evidence indicates many pro-ducers choose not to retain ownership. Three rea-sons that may explain this include tradition, cashflow needs of the business and risk. Producerswho choose to retain ownership of their cattle facethe risk of volatile markets and production chal-lenges. This investigation explores the possibilitythat cow-calf producers may be able to mitigate aportion of these risks by selectively screeningcalves with specific physical characteristics.

The driving logic behind this study is that phys-ical characteristics of calves are commonly expect-ed to predict physical performance. Given thatthis expectation is true, physical performance con-tributes to and is one determinant of profitability.From an economic perspective, information in thismarket relative to animal characteristic is asym-metric. Cow-calf producers may have a distinctadvantage over others in the marketing chainwith respect to information specific to their ani-mals, information that relates to performance.These producers have direct access and are famil-iar with information about their calves, such asbirth weight, dam size, weaning size and date, ageand any other information they choose to collect.Several methods are designed to exploit the infor-mation asymmetry between cow-calf producersand the downstream supply chain.

Animal information used in this study are fromMarch born Husker Red steer calves owned by theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln, weaned at theGudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory (GSL) nearWhitman, Nebraska, and fed out as slaughter cat-tle at the University’s West Central Research andExtension Center (WCREC) in North Platte,Nebraska. This study only considers calf-feds;steers are typically taken to slaughter in June,where all carcass data is recorded. UNL is able tocontrol quality, and markets these slaughter ani-mals on a grid system.

Input information for the various cost and rev-enues were obtained from the USDA-AMS,Livestock Marketing Information Center (LMIC),actual values paid at the WCREC, Dawson CountyExtension office, Nebraska Farm Real EstateMarket Developments report and the Cattle Faxdatabase.

Two marketing schemes, a live cattle and a gridpricing system, are used to determine if variousphysical characteristics of calves are predictive ofprofitability.Results

While not part of the actual study, it was foundthat for most of the years covered by the study,2003–2007, calf retention was more profitablethan selling at weaning. This fact does not consid-er other methods of sale, such as pre-conditioning,yearling or anything in-between.

The important indicators for profitability for thelive slaughter cattle market scheme include thephysical characteristic of birth weight, weaningweight and weaning age. Birth weight and wean-ing weight are found to have a positive effect onprofitability, while weaning age is negative. Othernon-physical characteristics that affected profitsare corn prices and differences in cattle marketconditions by year. The corn price coefficient isnegative, consistent with reduced profits fromincreasing corn prices. The years 2004 to 2006have a negative effect, making these yearsreduced in profit relative to 2007.

The grid pricing scheme is found to be somewhatdifferent, which is surprising given that grid pric-ing considers more variables in developing avalue. Birth weight is found to be the only physi-

cal characteristic statistically associated withprofit prediction. This characteristic is positivelyassociated with profit. The other variables, includ-ing corn prices and years has a similar effect asthe live slaughter pricing scheme. Interestingly,the grid price scheme model was not as powerful apredictor of profit, possibly indicating that infor-mation is missing from the model. It may be thatinformation from the sire, such as found in anEPD, would be beneficial.Discussion

Calves’ birth weights affect profitability in bothlive and grid marketing retained ownership sce-narios. The birth weights influence cost and rev-enue factors, with the revenue factors overpower-ing the cost factors, on average, for the years con-sidered here. Larger birth weights are often asso-ciated with larger cows, and ultimately larger car-cass weights, which increase revenues.

The two other physical effects found to affectprofit for the live market scheme are weaning ageand weight. Weaning age is negatively associatedwith profits, which may be caused by increasedopportunity costs and the effects of age and matu-rity on efficiency. Weaning weight has a positiveeffect, making heavier calves more profitable thanlight calves, given all other factors are equal.Heavier calves are likely the faster growing, withlarger frames.Conclusions

Information asymmetry in the beef cattle supplychain is used as a hypothesis to explore retainedownership options for cow-calf operators. Themethods developed investigate the predictivepower of calves physical characteristics, observedup to and including weaning, by cow-calf produc-ers on profitability. Two marketing regimes areexplored: a grid-based market and a live-slaugh-ter weight market.

Profitability is improved by ranking and select-ing calves based on models developed in thisresearch for specified years for the GSL calves. Ingeneral, the live marketing scheme model sug-gests that a calf with a larger birth weight andheavier weaning weight, weaned at a relativelyyoung age, has the best profit potential for reten-tion. It is possible that additional informationabout the calf ’s genetic potential and health mightincrease the accuracy and success of the modelssuggested here.

It is reaffirmed that calf characteristics are notthe only contributors to profitability. Both inputcosts and revenue related to prices play majorroles in overall profitability of retained calf profitsversus weaned calf profits. This study limits theanalysis to steers, but could be extended toheifers. A copy of the complete study and resultsare available from the authors.
