By Matthew HansenOmaha World-Herald

The man they call A.K. was thefirst Afghan farmer to try thingsthe Cornhusker way.

A.K. watched closely as theNebraska National Guard mem-bers — many of them Nebraskafarm boys — demonstrated howto grow grapes above groundinstead of down in the dirt.

He listened intently as themembers of the Nebraska agri-cultural development teamexplained the value of drip irriga-tion — why it would work betterthan flooding his crops withwater.

So A.K. banged some concreteposts into the ground, strung two

strands of wire on them and builthimself a uniquely Afghangrapevine on his land north ofKabul.

He researched irrigation andstarted watering his fields as theNebraskans had recommended,conserving rivers of water for hisdrought-stricken country in theprocess.

A.K.'s neighbors noticed. Soonthey started chatting up theNebraska Guard team, 53 peopleassigned to the tall yearlong taskof improving agriculture in andaround the decimated PanjshirValley.

We'd also like to learn farmingthe Nebraska way, they said.

"The thing about an Afghanfarmer is, if they see somethingworking across the road, theywant it themselves, too," saidCol. Mike Johnson, commanderof the ag development team, byphone from Afghanistan'sBagram Air Base.

"The bottom line is that theyare interested in anything thatprovides more food for their fam-ily," Johnson said.

The Nebraska team's task isthat simple: Help Afghan farmersput food on their tables in anarea once known for its beautifulorchards.

But the task, as with nearlyeverything in Afghanistan, isfraught with difficulty. ThePanjshir Valley has endurednearly three decades of nonstopwar. The Soviets, Afghan war-lords and the Taliban havebombed, burned and choppeddown every fruit tree.

You think farming in Nebraskais tough? Try plowing behind ateam of starving oxen and plant-ing by throwing seed haphazard-ly onto the dry, cracked ground.

For the past six months a Nebraska National Guard team has taughtAfghan farmers how to irrigate, rotate crops and grow better corn andwheat. The Nebraskans have also surely run headfirst into Afghanistan'sworsening reality: Increased danger, unreliable electricity, farmers whodon't know how to read or write, the ever-present fear of the Taliban andother militant groups.

Weatherhard on stateduring June

By Robert PoreGrand Island Indepenent

Gov. Dave Heineman is seeking a federaldisaster declaration for 13 Nebraska coun-ties, including Hamilton and Custer coun-ties, due to storm and tornado damage dur-ing June.

Damage assessments from the NebraskaEmergency Management Agency indicate atleast $4 million in damages, primarily toroads and other public infrastructure.Assessments were conducted in recent weekswith a team of state and federal officials.

The 13 counties included are Arthur, BoxButte, Cherry, Garden, Morrill, and ScottsBluff counties in the west; Custer, KeyaPaha, Hamilton, and Rock counties in thecentral region; and Dixon, Pawnee andRichardson counties in the east.

According to Heineman, tornadoes, highwinds, hail and above average rainfall wereseen in many areas of the state throughoutthe month. Several roads and highways wereclosed at various points due to flash floodingthat damaged roads and were later washedout by additional storms moving through thearea.

The request for federal aid includes fund-ing for repairs to roads, bridges, public powerinfrastructure and other public buildings, aswell as debris removal.

Also, flooding, hail, strong winds andexcessive heat and humidity caused exten-

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

I am currently atnational meetings, sothere will be no twoweek forecast.

However, I would likethis opportunity torecap this year andwhat could happen forthe remainder of thegrowing season.

The first five monthsof the year were excep-tionally dry acrosseastern Nebraska withmost stations recordingtop 10 dryness in terms

of historical records. June was very active and stormy with most east-

ern Nebraska locations having one of their wettestJune’s on record. The sole exception was south cen-tral Nebraska where storms seemed to pass northand south of the region. Abnormally dry to moder-ate drought conditions are currently depicted bythe U.S. Drought Monitor.

Even though snow pack was below normal in theupper reaches of the Platte river valley, above nor-mal moisture since late March help supplementflows into the major Platte reservoirs. Total stor-age peaked at 2.984 million acre-feet, with 4.5 mil-lion acre-feet being full capacity.

Seminoe stands at 92% of capacity, Pathfinder at56% of capacity, Glendo at 104% of capacity, andMcCounaghy at 54% of capacity.

With normal moisture this winter, I expect allWyoming reservoirs to fill with some additionalinflows making their way into McConaughy.

Upper air patterns suggest that the centralPlains will experience short-lived periods of belownormal and above normal temperatures for theremainder of July. An expansive upper air ridgehas been fluctuating its position from the south-central Rockies to the south-central Plains.

Storms have been riding along the ridge periph-ery. When the ridge is centered over Texas, stormshave been rolling across Nebraska and SouthDakota.

July temperatures are projected to be below nor-mal across eastern Nebraska all the way to theeastern U.S. Precipitation is projected to be abovenormal for the southeastern 3/4 of the state.

If this verifies, south-central Nebraska shouldsee some improvements in their dry status. Basedupon current crop progress, much of the easterncorn belt will not see corn mature until lateSeptember through late October.

There is better than a 50% likelihood that somefreeze damage will occur, Here in Nebraska, cur-rent freeze risks are non-existent outside ofacreage replanted due to severe storm activity.

As we approach Independence Day, I encourageyou to reflect for a moment about the cost of living.

I'm not talking about gas prices - though theprice at the pump right now is hitting families inNebraska and across the country - or how much itcosts to see a movie or buy groceries or purchase ahouse.

I'm talking about the true cost of living in free-dom, the cost of living in a democracy.

The way of life Americans are accustomed to - ourconstitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms -wasn't free. Let us not forget those patriots whopaid with their lives and livelihood to earn ourdemocracy. In the generations since, millions morehave paid with their lives.

For many areas of the globe, however, freedomand democracy are ideals not yet realized.

The other day, I did an online search for theterms "crackdown" and "democracy." I had morethan 1.7 million hits.

Think about it. How much does it "cost" to live inChina, right now? How much does it "cost" to livein North Korea?

Even as I write, crowds are protesting in thestreets of Iran. Peaceful demonstrators in the

United States are perfectly within their legalrights and protected by the First Amendment. InIran, however, protestors risk jail, beatings, eventheir lives for speaking out against their govern-ment.

In recent days, members of the IranianRevolutionary Guard, militia and other securityforces in riot gear have been heavily deployedacross Tehran, preventing any gatherings andordering people to keep moving.

Images of protests being violently broken up andeven turning deadly have shocked the world.Diplomats were expelled from the country andreporters were placed under house arrest.Protestors resorted to using online services to giveand receive updates as to what was happening onthe streets.

The President recently suggested these demon-strations should not become a referendum onAmerica, that we shouldn't be making this aboutthe United States.

I disagree. If there is any country I wish Iranwas looking to, it is the United States.

Our country should be held as an example of free-dom and democracy to the world. During the con-

fusing days following the first election of PresidentGeorge W. Bush, I was overseas. Nearly everyoneI talked to was amazed our country could havesuch a situation occurring without riots or blood-shed.

I'm proud our nation was founded on the ideathat each of us has the freedom and the right tosucceed or fail on our own merits.

Unfortunately, there now is a congressionalagenda dedicated to imposing Washington bureau-cracy into our health care, our businesses - likeauto dealerships - and our education, and levelinghigher taxes on energy.

Time after time, we've seen those who turn tobigger government for all the answers take directaim at the core ideals on which our nation wasfounded. For some reason, there are those whodon't realize at the heart of every great successstory is personal responsibility, not governmentdependency.

The true cost of living in freedom can be meas-ured in many ways. This Independence Day, let usremember those who paid the ultimate price for ourfreedoms and those who are risking their lives fordemocracy denied.

Independence Day honors for those who assure our independenceby Senator Ben Nelson

The makeup of the military hasseen dramatic changes over the years.No longer does it consist primarily ofsingle men. The majority of men andwomen in today’s all volunteer forceare married and have families.

More than half of the nearly 3 mil-lion members of regular and reservecomponents of the military are mar-ried. In Nebraska, there are morethan 15,000 families of regular andreserve components of the military.7,500 regular and 7,700 reserves.

Many of these families have chil-dren. There are more than 1.8 millionchildren between the ages of birthand 23 who are dependents of regularand reserve military families.

Most of the children of regular mil-itary are under the age of 5 whilemost children of reserve members arebetween 6 and 14.

Families Serve Along Side Service Members

Americans understand that mili-tary families serve their country justas surely as the one in uniform does.We, as a country, must ensure thatall the needs of military dependentchildren are being met, for childrenof members of both the regular andreserve components.

Military families often face uniquechallenges and difficulties that areinherent to military life, includinglong separations from loved ones, therepetitive demands of frequentdeployments, and frequent uprootingof community ties resulting frommoves to bases across the countryand overseas.

Thousands of military family mem-bers have taken on volunteer respon-

sibilities to assist units and membersof the Armed Forces who have beendeployed.

They support family readinessgroups, help military spouses meetthe demands of a single parent dur-ing a deployment, or provide a shoul-der to cry on or the comfort of under-standing.

Family Support is CrucialIn talking with spouses from

throughout Nebraska, I know howimportant it is to them that theyhave base and community supportand that they are reached out to oncetheir service member is deployed.

We in Congress have tried to do ourpart to help, and have made familysupport programs and initiatives apriority.

Independence Day HonorsAs Americans celebrate

Independence Day it is important forall of us to celebrate and honor thosewho assure our independence; thosewho wear the uniform and their fam-ilies.

That’s why earlier this year theSenate approved a resolution I co-sponsored to designate the year 2009as the Year of the Military Family.

It is my hope that this resolutionincreases awareness of the great sac-rifices military families make andinspires Americans everywhere toexpress their appreciation and renewtheir commitment to honoring mili-tary family members who bravelyserve this nation alongside theirservice members.

Rushed Health Care proposals fall far shortby Senator Mike Johanns

Dear Nebraskans, Americans need true health care reform, and

members of Congress agree that this issue must beaddressed. The Administration has promised sev-eral things: everyone will have access to healthcare; everyone will get to keep their insurance planif they want; and the government will be responsi-ble with taxpayers' money.

The President has also repeatedly promised thatwhile he is President there will be no increase intaxes for the middle class. Any plan that falls shortof these goals is highly inadequate and does notgive the American people solutions they deserve.

Recently, two Senate committees came forwardwith preliminary proposals. So how do the propos-als stack up with the promises of theAdministration?

Does everyone get access to health care? Doeseveryone who wants to keep their plan get to do so?

Finally, is the government being responsible withyour money?

The two draft proposals analyzed by the non-par-tisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) were pro-duced by the Senate Finance Committee and theHealth, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP)Committee.

The first draft of the Finance Committee's planwould cost $1.6 trillion, but has not been finalized.

The HELP bill would cost more than $1 trillionover ten years, and that excludes the cost of a gov-ernment-run option.

According to CBO, this plan would only insure anadditional 16 million people at a cost of $62,000 perperson, and would still leave 30 million uninsured.

CBO also projects that under the current propos-als, 15 million people would lose their employer-sponsored insurance.

The independent Lewin Group estimates thatnumber could be as high as 119 million when thepublic plan is included. Furthermore, neither com-mittee has suggested how we would pay for theseplans.

Will proponents suggest raising taxes? Increaseour already bloated debt?

Neither plan has an answer for this. Neitherplan fulfills any of the President's health carepromises. That's not even addressing the issue ofthe President's promise not to raise taxes on themiddle class.

These proposals fall far short of real solutions.The two preliminary proposals are not what

Americans need. It is our responsibility to actuallysolve the problem instead of pushing a half-ana-lyzed bill through the process.

Rushing complex legislation just to finish by theAugust recess doesn't make sense. As the adage

goes, it is better to do the research to get it rightthe first time, instead of getting it wrong expedi-tiously.

Nothing is more important than the health andsafety of millions of American families.

NEBRASKA EVENT CALENDAR WWW.VISITNEBRASKA.ORG

By Leslie ReedOmaha World-Herald

LINCOLN — A lethalcombination of heat,humidity and dead calmkilled hundreds of cattlein eastern Nebraska andwestern Iowa this week.

Longtime observerssaid it was one of theworst bouts of feedlotheat deaths they hadever seen.

Many reports of cattledeaths had not been con-firmed, but one expertsaid the toll couldexceed 2,000.

Most of the deathsoccurred on Tuesday,officials said.

A single feedlot inHamilton County lostnearly 300 cattle, andthere were reports thatseveral other eastern

Nebraska lots lost 100or more cattle.

Western Iowa feedersreported smaller thoughstill significant cattledeaths, said BruceBerven, executive vicepresident of the IowaCattlemen's Association.

"I've never seen any-thing like this," said BobKremer, a cattle feederand former state senatorfrom Aurora, Neb., whosaw 21 of his 1,000 cat-tle die.

"I've been feeding cat-tle for about 40 years,and I guess I'd lost oneor two on really hotdays. But never any-thing like this."

The cattle died fasterthan rendering truckscould haul them away,

and some feedlot opera-tors resorted to buryingthem on their farms.

Rob Robertson, chiefadministrator of theNebraska Farm BureauFederation, recalledpassing two renderingtrucks full of dead cattleon Tuesday as he droveInterstate 80 to catch aplane from Omaha.

Some farmers, includ-ing Kremer, sought theaid of their local firedepartments to hosedown their animals andsave their lives.

Dr. Dan Pachta, a vet-erinarian in Aurora,Neb., said he was awareof 500 to 600 cattledeaths in HamiltonCounty alone. He saidhis practice serves about10 feedlots, and they allsaw heat-related cattledeaths.

Pachta said the cattlehadn't had the chance toacclimate to summerweather, consideringhigh temperatures werein the 60s only twoweeks ago.

It was a "disaster" forthe Dose Land & CattleCo. near Hampton, Neb.,where 270 cattle haddied as of Friday.

Shane Dose, who ownsthe 4,800-head lot withhis brother and father,said most of the cattlethat died were ready for

market, weighing morethan 1,300 pounds andworth more than $1,000each.

The losses represent-ed about one fourth ofthe Doses' market-readycattle and more than ayear's income for thebusiness.

Les Vogler of VoglerCattle Co. near Ashlandsaid 15 cattle died in hissmall operation duringthe heat spell.Neighbors within fivemiles of him lost about300 head.

He said the deathsoccurred quickly.

"Everything was OKuntil about 3:30 or 4o'clock Tuesday, whenthe wind got to zero andit got to be too much forthem," he said. He sum-moned the Greenwoodand Ashland FireDepartments, whobegan helping cool hiscattle about 5 p.m.

"I was prettystressed," he said."When you do this allyour life, it's hard towatch them die right infront of you."

Although this week'shighs — mostly in thelow to mid-90s —weren't as sizzling asthose often experiencedin a July or August heatwave, they were danger-ous because of thehumidity and lack ofwind, said Terry Mader,a University ofNebraska animal sci-ence professor whoteaches at the HaskellAgriculture Laboratoryin Concord, Neb.

While the heat spellwas brief, he said, theanimals couldn't cooldown overnight becausetemperatures didn't fallmuch and they weren'tused to 90-degree tem-peratures after a long,cool spring.

Mader said he'd alsoheard reports of heat-related poultry deaths.He emphasized thatweather conditions likethose of the past weekare dangerously stress-ful for people and theirpets, too.

He said this heat spellwasn't as bad as one in1995 that killed 5,000cattle in easternNebraska and westernIowa before moving eastand resulting in recordhuman deaths inChicago.

Mader estimated thatcattle deaths from thepast week could beabout half of the 1995total.

Officials said theywon't be able to tallytotal losses for severaldays. It's likely thatmore than $1 millionworth of cattle suc-cumbed to the heat,although producers maybe able to recoup some oftheir losses through alivestock indemnifica-tion program passed byCongress with the 2008farm bill.

Authorities say the combination ofhigh temperatures and humidityhas killed hundreds of cattle

With heavy rainfall in June and standing water,the mosquito population is already increasingalong with concerns about West Nile virus.

"We've seen a lot of mosquitoes, and it's going tocontinue." said Barbara Ogg, an Extension educa-tor and entomologist in Lancaster County.

In 2008, 47 Nebraskans contracted West Nileand one of whom died, according to the NebraskaDepartment of Health and Human Services Website.

Nebraskans need to battle the risk on two fronts:prevent mosquito breeding and protect themselvesand continue measures from now to frost.

Prevention • Dump or drain any containers or areas with

standing water. In small ponds or other areas thatcan't be drained, use products containing bacillusthuringiensis israelensis or BTI. These come inthe form of doughnuts, biscuits or granules thatcan be put into a pond to cut down on mosquito lar-vae. This active ingredient is specifically targetedto mosquito larvae and won't affect animals drink-ing it, Ogg said.

For those with plenty of cash, a device called aMosquito Magnet can be bought for about $500. Itworks with a propane tank to generate carbondioxide, which attracts and traps mosquitoes.

"Unfortunately, bug zappers don't work on mos-

quitoes," Ogg said. "Mosquitoes aren't attracted tolight — they find us by detecting carbon dioxideand other odors we give off."

• Use repellents. The Center for Disease Controlrecommends three types of repellents that workbest against mosquitoes.

~ DEET, the most common chemical in insectrepellents, works best for those who want to stayoutside for long periods of time. The AmericanAssociation of Pediatrics (AAP) doesn't recommendits use on children under 2 months.

~ Picaridin is a repellent with similar effective-ness as DEET, but without the odor or greasy feel-ing. AAP has not made recommendations regard-ing its use on children.

~ Natural oil of lemon eucalyptus is available inRepel Lemon Eucalyptus, a non-greasy productwith a pleasant smell. Oil of lemon eucalyptus maynot last as long as the other two repellents. A nat-ural botanical product, it may appeal to those whowant to use "green" products.

Ogg said she has received a lot of calls about liq-uids and foggers that can be used to treat the yardor garden.

The products work, but don't provide long-termcontrol, Ogg said. These products ideally should beapplied only a day or so before the event, but earlyenough the product dries.

Take Precautions Against Mosquitoes to Prevent West Nile Virus

In mid-June I had the opportunityalong with 26 other Nebraska famersand agronomists to tour no-till opera-tions and visit with no-tillresearchers in South Dakota. Thetour was conducted by the No-till OnThe Plains organization(www.notill.org/) and the NebraskaNo-till Cadre and partially funded bythe Nebraska Environmental TrustFund.

The tour was especially rewardingfor me since I am originally fromPotter County South Dakota, home ofCronin Farms, one of our key stops.Actually, we were neighbors. I grewup creating dust on our side of thefence-line while watching Croninsstir dust on their side.

Moisture is short in that part of thecountry with an average annual rain-fall of 18.5 inches, so summer fallowaccounted for about 25% of the acres.

When I was growing up, we raisedprimarily small grains and corn atthat time. Raising a crop was kind ofhit and miss depending on how andwhen the rain fell.

That has all changed now as adirect response to the benefits of con-tinuous no-till.

It didn’t happen overnight though. Dwayne Beck, South Dakota State

University professor and director ofthe Dakota Lakes Research Farm, iscredited with starting this farmingsystem evolution in the area in theearly 90s. His influence is readilyevident as you visit with area produc-ers who refer to “Beck” with greatrespect and admiration.

No-till has created a productiveenvironment that has allowed thearea to now crop 100% of the acresinstead of the 75% being croppedbefore.

It also has eliminated the duststorms — both man-made and bynature. The crops are good too withwinter wheat yields reaching 100bu/ac and dryland corn yields averag-ing 120 to 140 bu/ac. Soybeans, sun-flower, field peas, and various foragesare also common crops successfullygrown in the area as well as a host ofdifferent crops which are grown ascover crops. These include radishes,turnips, vetches, lentil, millet,clovers, and more.

Cover crops are key to the transi-tion of the soil characteristics thatmake this change in productivity pos-sible. While skeptics say that raisingcover crops in addition to normalcrops will do nothing more than usevaluable moisture, local producershave found just the opposite. Covercrops can actually “preserve” soilmoisture while adding organic mat-ter and nitrogen (if a legume), andsustaining important biological lifein the soil.

The Take-Home Messagefor Us Nebraskans

So what does this have to do withirrigated crop production inNebraska?

It has everything to do with it. Theno-till practices and principles usedin dryland South Dakota can beadapted to this environment and sys-tem. We can become more efficient inour machinery use, our water use,and our man-hours.

Although size isn’t always an indi-cation of success, I’ll use CroninFarms as an example. Their croppingoperation is 9000 acres.

They raise 10 crops and do thiswith one tractor, one planter, onedrill, one sprayer and one combine.All managed and operated by twomen, Dan Forgey, farm manager, andMike Cronin, co-owner. That’s effi-ciency.

Upcoming No-till Expo Producers, please consider attend-

ing the July 15 Whirlwind No-TillExpo organized by No-till On ThePlains and the Nebraska No-tillCadre, and partially funded by theNebraska Environmental TrustFund.

It will be filled with power-packed,hands-on learning featuring expertspeakers as well as experienced localno-tillers from the area.

A Report from the No-till On The Plains Bus TourDwayne Beck, managerof Dakota LakesResearch Farm (oncrutches in center),gives a tour of thefacility, describing itsno-till crop manage-ment and the diverserotations and covercrops used in continu-ous no-till systems.While the research isconducted by SouthDakota StateUniversity, the farm isowned by a group ofarea producers inter-ested in no-till farmingsystems and watermanagement.

LINCOLN — Berries are in seasonand in their prime. However, beforeenjoying the wholesome summersnack, or any fresh produce thissummer, be sure to follow good foodsafety to reduce the presence ofharmful bacteria that could causefoodborne illness, a University ofNebraska-Lincoln food safety spe-cialist said.

When it comes to berries, be sureto promptly refrigerate at 40 degreesor below, said Julie Albrecht, UNLExtension food safety specialist inthe Institute of Agriculture andNatural Resources.

"Wash hands with warm water andsoap before and after handlingberries, and be sure to rinse berriesunder cool tap water just beforepreparing or eating," Albrecht said.

According to the Partnership forFood Safety Education, consumers

can take six steps for safer fruits andvegetables.

These include to check, clean, sep-arate, cook, chill and throw away.

When at the store or local farmer'smarket, be sure to check that thefresh fruits and vegetables are notbruised or damaged, Albrecht said.

"Check that fresh cut fruits andvegetables like packaged salads andprecut melons are refrigeratedbefore buying. Do not buy fresh cutitems that are not refrigerated," shesaid.

Harmful bacteria may be in thesoil or water where produce growsand may come in contact with fruitsand vegetables and contaminatethem. Fresh produce also can becomecontaminated after it is harvested orduring preparation or storage.

Eating this contaminated producecan lead to foodborne illness which

can cause serious and sometimesfatal infections.

Also, be sure to separate fruits andvegetables from household chemicalsand raw foods such as meat andpoultry. Also keep them away fromthese things in the home.

At home after purchasing fruit andvegetables, be sure to wash handswith warm water and soap for at

least 20 seconds before handling,Albrecht said. Also, be sure to cleanall surfaces and utensils.

"Rinse fruit and vegetables underrunning tap water, including thosewith skins and rinds," Albrecht said.

Packaged fruits and vegetableslabeled "ready-to-eat" or "washed" or"triple washed" need not be washedagain.

“ T h e G o v e r n m e n t C a r ”by Lee Pitts

Now that the U.S. Treasury is thelargest shareholder in GeneralMotors and the feds have givenChrysler a facelift, we can expect tosee an all new lineup of cars.

When Henry Ford first startedcranking out Model T’s you could buyone in any color you wanted, just aslong as it was black. Reflecting theirconcern for the environment, Obama’scar companies will only be makinggreen cars.

They’ll be green on the outside andgreen on the inside. The seats won’tbe made of leather because thatmight offend PETA members andHollywood donors, and there will beno plastic components that weremade from petrochemicals.

Instead, the upholstery will all bedone in hemp. The tires will also bemade of hemp instead of nasty rubber.True, the tires will only last 500 milesbut they’ll be politically correct miles!

Warning: When the tires heat upyou may experience light headednessfrom the mood altering smoke.

Coming soon to a showroom nearyou (unless your dealer was dumped)

will be cars featuring auto-assisttransmissions for people who can’tshift for themselves. The governmentwill be making cars that are a reflec-tion of how they do things, so thetransmissions will only have onegear: they’ll only go in reverse.

Because the feds are concernedabout the size of your carbon footprintthe engine will automatically shut offwhenever you have exceeded yourration of miles for the week.

If your car stops at an inopportunetime, like on a freeway, and causes acrash, airbags will automaticallyinflate on both sides, under and ontop of you. If you survive the impact ofthe airbags and want to get goingagain you’ll be able to buy carboncredits at government gas stations,after they nationalize that industrytoo.

Some of the features included onthe new models will include rack andpinion steering that will only allowyou to turn left. The far left.

As a theft deterrent your new carwill come with remote keyless entrythat requires your thumbprint to

open the car door. But this featurewill only be made available on con-vertibles and will only work when thetop is down.

Every car will come with cruise con-trol and a governor that will not allowyour car to go faster than the postedspeed limit, even when trying to passanother car.

As an incentive to buy these newgovernment cars every purchaser willreceive $100,000 in life insurance.

The new cars will all have rose col-ored tinted windows and a dashboardcomputer with a 46 inch plasmascreen that will allow you to surf theInternet, text message, or watch amovie while driving and talking onyour handsfree phone. It will also fea-ture turn by turn navigation, whichyou are going to need with the caronly being able to turn left all thetime.

The federal antilock brakes will begrabby, the climate control systemdesigned by politicians will only recir-culate hot air and the defogger won’tdo anything. The trunk will pack ahuge payload big enough for any car

company CEO to take home his $20billion bailout.

But the government car makers willforget to include handy options likecupholders, a glove box and mirrors.

Every car will come with an audiosystem that will interrupt yourfavorite CD or Rush Limbaugh when-ever President Obama is giving aspeech.

The hybrid cars will be powered byethanol and wind power, with a sailthat you’ll be able to raise and lowerabove your car whenever winds reachgale force.

All of these new features won’t comecheap. The base model will cost$100,000 but you’ll be able to financethe purchase for 30 years with a vari-able, interest-only loan from FreddieMac of Fannie Mae. Another featureof the all new government car will beautomatic parking assistance thatwill easily allow you to park at thewelfare office or the poor house.

The government car will come witha complete warranty, guaranteeingthe automobile to be the worst oneyou’ve ever bought.

Corn trade is lower on the week due to continued goodweather and bearishness due to the larger acreage number.After three days of trade, the weekly net change is 20 loweron the September contract and December is down 23.

The outside markets influence has been negative thisweek; crude is nearly $7 lower and $13 from the late Junehigh, the dollar is 50 higher and the DOW is 150 lower for theweek.

Weather has remained mostly benign, which has left themarket looking for improving crop conditions and, in the bigpicture, expecting an above trendline yield.

The market has seen continued liquidation this week fol-lowing the USDA’s Quarterly Stocks and planting report lastweek; speculative longs have taken a beating with corn nowaround $1.40 below the June highs.

Due to the sharp increase in corn acreage, the market isnow expecting higher carryover numbers on the July USDASupply and Demand report that will be released this Friday.

The average trade guess for the old crop carryover is 1.69billion with a range of 1.6 to 1.85; the new crop average tradeguess is 1.57 billion with a range between 1.3 and 1.8 billion.The charts continue to look poor following last weeks report;the trade is below all major moving averages and we printeda new low for the year on Wednesday.

Granted we are oversold so a quick 20 to 30 cent bouncecould be seen. The trade should see demand items pick upwith the recent move lower.

Ethanol margins this past week moved to the best in a year

and the meal/corn spread is historically wide which shouldprovide cattle feeders and incentive to blend more corn intorations plus this increases the value of the DDGs.

It will be important for crude to find support near-term, orwe risk ethanol margins slipping again. On the weekly cropprogress report, percent silking was listed at 8% completeversus 5% a year ago and the 16% 5-year average.

Crop condition was reported at 71% good to excellentdown 1% from a week ago.

The weekly export sales came in at 749,200 tons of oldcrop and 415,400 tons of new crop, combined they were aboveexpectations. I do look for exports to stay firm well into 2010which should help curb downside pressure.

Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade is lower on the week due to outside marketpressure and chart selling. After three days of trade, theweekly net changes on the September contracts are 12 lowerin Chicago, and KC and Minneapolis are down 18.

Most of the length has been pulled out of this market overthe last few weeks with the funds moving to a net short posi-tion.

This opens the door for a short covering bounce, but manytraders are only looking for a dead cat bounce without freshsupportive news.

Expectations are to see higher ending stocks on Friday'sUSDA Supply and Demand report which should limit upsidenear-term. The wheat carryover estimate is 693 millionbushels with a range of 589 to 776.

The all wheat production estimate is at 2.1 billion bushels,the range is 2.07 to 2.17. The spring wheat average tradeguess is 505 million bushels with a range of 468 to 546.

We are hearing more concerns over quality issues regard-ing vomitoxin and low protein content, but the QuarterlyStocks and Acreage Report last week was a reminder thatsupplies are ample and we will need a significant weatherscare to justify a sustained rally.

On the Chicago chart, the trend is bearish; the next down-

side target is $4.55 which was the nearby Chicago low inDecember.

This market is overdue for a bounce, but we will need tosee outside markets rebound first.

On the weekly progress report, winter wheat harvest waslisted as 56% complete versus 52% a year ago and the 59%5-year average. Percent Headed for spring wheat came in at30% compared to 54% a year ago and the 65% 5-year aver-age.

The crop condition report listed spring wheat as 72% goodto excellent versus 76% a week ago. Winter wheat was listedas 47% good to excellent up 2% from last week.

The weekly export sales number was at 584,200 tonswhich was just above expectations. The export sales havebeen so slow in 2009 that we should expect an increase withmany world buyers hand to mouth right now and they maylook to extend coverage with the lower prices.

Soybean trade is sharply lower on the week due to fundlong liquidation and outside market pressure. Heading intoThursday, the weekly net changes are $1.18 lower on theSeptember contract and November is down $1.14; Decembermeal is $33.40 lower and soybean oil is down 311 points.

The CFTC announced on Monday that they will start tolimit some speculative interest in the commodities markets toa greater extent than our current limits, which was noted asa catalyst that helped sparked the long liquidation this week.The unwinding of recent bull spreads along with talk thatChina would release some of their government bean invento-ries was also noted for the weakness.

The July/November spread narrowed to $1.92 onWednesday versus $2.37 a week ago. The market lost theupward momentum following the USDA Quarterly stocks andPlanted Acreage report last week and the market seems to bepricing-in a bearish Supply and Demand report on Friday. Thecarryover estimates heading into the report on Friday are 107million bushels for old crop and 229 for new, the new crop hasa wide range, 115 to 380 million.

The balance sheets are still going to be tight due to thelower than expected 2009 soybean acres and late plantingson the last part of the crop, so there should be some buyinginterest at these levels.

It’s likely the outside markets will need to stay firm or

move to higher levels to justify higher trade. The weekly cropratings improved by 1% up to 68% good to excellent. On theweekly crop progress report, soybean emergence was listedas 66% complete versus 94% a year ago and a 98% 5-yearaverage.

Percent blooming was listed as 14% complete compared to12% a year ago and the 24% 5-year average. The crop condi-tion was listed as 66% good to excellent compared to 68%last week. The weekly soybean export sales came in at287,000 tons of old crop and new crop sales were 941,600which were above expectations.

Meal sales were reported at 18,400 tons of old crop andnew crop exports were 12,500 tons which were below expec-tations. Soybean oil sales showed net cancellation of 60,200tons of old crop and new crop sales were above expectationsat 98,000 tons.

Look for outside markets to continue to dictate trade. Weare still a month away from the soybean peak moisture needs.Hedgers call to discuss your individual risk plan.

Tree Plantingand Landscape

Grant FundsAvailable

LINCOLN — The 2009 Trees for NebraskaTowns grant program, part of the ReTreeNebraska initiative, provides nearly $300,000in grant funding to help with tree planting andassociated landscaping in communities acrossNebraska.

Trees for Nebraska Towns and ReTreeNebraska were developed to address tree lossin Nebraska and to improve the overall health,sustainability and species diversity ofNebraska's community trees. It is coordinatedby the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum and ispart of ReTree Nebraska's efforts to plant 1million trees by 2017. To help meet these goals,the Nebraska Environmental Trust, a benefici-ary of the Nebraska Lottery, is providing grantfunding to enable high quality tree-plantingand associated landscaping in communitiesacross the state.

Application forms are available atCommunity Landscaping through July 31.Requirements include:

– The planting of large-maturing trees,exceeding 40 feet in height or spread.

– Landscape plantings that benefit trees andstormwater runoff quality are also eligible.

– Projects must be on public or non-profitproperty and provide direct public benefit.

– The maximum funding request is $20,000.– A 50 percent funding match is required;

this required match can include donated andin-kind goods and services.

– Application deadline is July 31.For more information, contact the Nebraska

Statewide Arboretum at (402) 472-2971 or jev-ertson1@unl.edu.

LINCOLN — More Nebraskansare gardening this year to savemoney on their grocery bills. Ifharvest is bountiful this summer,freezing and canning excess pro-duce is an option, a University ofNebraska-Lincoln food safety spe-cialist said.

However, certain guidelinesneed to be followed to assure thatproduce remains safe and of highquality, said Julie Albrecht, UNLfood safety specialist in theInstitute of Agriculture andNatural Resources.

Albrecht expects more peoplewill be preserving food this sum-mer. When it comes to preservingfood, Albrecht said the easiestthing to try is freezing.

"If you have never cannedbefore, I really recommend freez-ing if you have a stand alonefreezer," Albrecht said. "It issafer."

The stand alone freezer is key.A freezer that is part of a refrig-erator really isn't meant for long-term storage, she said.

"You really need to have afreezer that reaches zero degreesor less. A freezer with a refriger-ator isn't going to get that cold,"she said. "These freezers reallycan only keep food fresh for aboutthree months or less. And if thefreezer is inside the fridge up to10 days."

Freezing also is less expensivebecause you don't have to pur-chase a pressure cooker. Whencanning vegetables, the only safeway to preserve them is with apressure canner. This is the onlyway to destroy the deadly sporesof the bacterium Clostridium bot-

ulinum. This is done by process-ing for the correct time at 10pounds of pressure which forceswater to boil at 240 degrees atsea level.

More detailed informationabout canning, including altitudeadjustments and processingtimes, is available by consultingUNL Extension Circular 434,"Let's Preserve: Canning Basics,"available at local UNL Extensionoffices or online.

"Using a hot water bath, theoven or anything else for canningvegetables is not safe," she said.

It is safe to can fruit, jams, jel-lies and pickles using a hot waterbath because of the higher acidcontent of fruit and the pickledproduct.

Tomatoes can be canned in ahot water bath because of theiracid content. However, more andmore newer tomato varietieshave lower acid content, so it isnow recommended to add somelemon juice or citric acid to thejars. It only requires a smallamount, about 1 tablespoon perpint, she said.

"Acid inhibits the spores fromClostridium botulinum growingout," she said.

Caution also should be givenwhen canning salsas.

"Be sure to follow the recipe,"Albrecht said. "Don't throw inmore peppers because it willreduce the acid content. The safe-ty of canning in a hot water bathreally depends on the acid con-tent. Use tested recipes as theyare safe to process in a boilingwater bath. If you don't follow the

recipe, be sure to refrigerate theproduct."

When freezing vegetables, theyfirst need to be blanched,Albrecht said.

This is because enzymes in thevegetables continue to breakdown even when frozen. If thevegetables are not blanched, cornwill begin to taste like the coband broccoli will smell awful, forexample.

"Blanching inactivates thoseenzymes and also allows you toget more vegetables in a contain-er," she said. When freezing veg-etables, be sure to use freezerstorage bags or containers thatare freezer safe.

When blanching, bring water toa boil and then drop the vegeta-bles in. Cook times for some veg-etables include: green beans, 3minutes; broccoli, 3 minutes;corn on the cob, 11 minutes; corncut off the cob, 3 minutes; peas,1.5 minutes and beets, cook untildone. After cooking, plunge intoice cold water, drain, packageand place containers one layerdeep in the freezer to quicklyfreeze.

Albrecht said freezing alsogives vegetables a "less cooked"taste and they are not as mushy.

Community People You Know

Try irrigating without electricity, keepingrecords without knowing how to read or write, andthen harvesting as the Taliban and their sympa-thizers blow up roadside bombs around yourincreasingly terrorized village.

When the Nebraskans arrived in October, agroup of farmers showed Sgt. Brian Stark an ear ofAfghan corn. It was maybe 3 inches long, as shortas a person's ring finger.

Johnson couldn't get over the bare patches ofperfectly farmable ground.

The people were hungry. The animals were hun-gry. And yet "there's just a lot of dormant ground,nothing on it, not even grass," Johnson said.

The colonel quickly learned one reason for thedirt patches: The Afghans were eating everythingavailable and saving no excess seed in the process.The Nebraskans started teaching them how best tostore enough seed for the next crop.

Many of the farmers plant wheat in the fall andthen corn in the same field in the spring, a croprotation that yanks nutrients out of the groundand leads to poorer and poorer yields.

The ag development team told the farmers toplant alfalfa on low-yielding fields instead.

A Guardsman from the Valentine area is aninstructor at two local universities, usingPowerPoint lectures to teach the Afghans aboutanimal breeding and diseases.

The Guard troops, half of whom farm inNebraska, have dug and inspected wells andexperimented with new grasses. They have put outpamphlets on insect control and given radio inter-views about irrigation.

When all else fails, the Nebraskans simply pointto the results: They've purposely planted test plotsof wheat and corn right next to Afghan fields.

"Here's the old way, and there's the new way,side by side," Johnson said. "Then (the Afghans)are real quick to change."

It hasn't been an entirely warm and fuzzy yearfor the Guard members.

They had hopes of demonstrating a center-pivotirrigation system, but that and several other ambi-tious projects are now on a waiting list behindother, more pressing jobs.

And it's getting harder and harder for the

Nebraskans to drop by the houses of Afghan farm-ers. Roadside bomb attacks — Johnson says theviolence has doubled this June compared with lastJune — have forced the Guard into bigger, heavilyarmored vehicles and occasionally forced them tostay on base and instruct farmers by phone.

The paperwork is maddening.The pace of progress can be excruciatingly slow.And the security situation continues to worsen,

even though the provinces north of Kabul are farsafer than areas in the Taliban strongholds insouthern Afghanistan.

But when the Nebraska ag development teammembers return to Nebraska around Labor Day,they will do so knowing they've nudged the Afghanfarmers closer to success.

They will know they've helped plant 20,000 fruittrees in the Panjshir Valley, trees that will bearcountless apricots, cherries, peaches and pome-granates in four years.

And they will remember that they gatherednorth of Bagram Air Base and put up a grain bin.

This particular bin once sat unused in southwestNebraska, one of 11 old steel bins donated by farm-ers contacted by Sgt. Eldon Kuntzelman ofImperial.

And now it will stand in northern Afghanistan, asymbol of rebirth in an area desperately in need ofnew beginnings.

A.K., the bin's new owner, has promised thathe'll let his neighbors store their crops in the bin,as well.

The Nebraskans hope A.K. and his friends willsoon have more to store. The drought eased thisspring, and the region has thus far avoided thedamaging flooding of years past.

The Nebraskans and the Afghans will spend thesummer asking God for gentle rain.

"It's like farming back in the States," Stark said."It's a gamble, and you pray a lot."

FARMING THE NEBRASKA WAYContinued from page 1

WASHINGTON - AgricultureSecretary Tom Vilsack todayannounced that eligible ranch-ers and livestock producers canbegin applying for benefitsunder the provisions of theLivestock Indemnity Programin the 2008 Farm Bill on July13.

"This program will providelivestock producers with a vitalsafety net to help them over-come the damaging financialimpact of natural disasters,"said Vilsack.

The Livestock IndemnityProgram (LIP) provides assis-tance to producers for livestockdeaths that result from disas-ter. Using funds from theAgricultural Disaster ReliefTrust Fund established undersection 902 of the Trade Act of1974, the program is adminis-

tered by the USDA FarmService Agency (FSA). LIP com-pensates livestock owners andcontract growers for livestockdeath losses in excess of normalmortality due to adverse weath-er, including losses due to hur-ricanes, floods, blizzards, dis-ease, wildfires, extreme heatand extreme cold. Eligible loss-es must have occurred on orafter Jan. 1, 2008, and beforeOct. 1, 2011.

The following table providesthe final dates to file a notice ofloss and/or application for pay-ment for either 2008 or 2009livestock losses.

Specific provisions for the

other supplemental agricultur-al disaster assistance programsauthorized by the 2008 Act - theLivestock Forage DisasterProgram (LFP), theSupplemental RevenueAssistance Program (SURE),the Emergency Assistance forLivestock, Honey Bees, andFarm-Raised Fish (ELAP) andthe Tree Assistance Program(TAP) - will be implementedthrough separate rulemakingsand announced at a later date.

sive damage to crop and livestock during June.The National Weather Service in Hastings and

North Platte reported on the severe weather thathit area counties during June.

The National Weather Service in Hastingsreported that June of 2009 began with cool tem-peratures for the first half of the month at GrandIsland, Hastings and Kearney.

Temperatures then rebounded during the latterhalf of June with readings returning to the 80sand 90s for highs. The highest maximum temper-atures for the month occurred on June 23 wherethe high temperature reached 98 in Grand Island,97 in Hastings, and 95 in Kearney. The averagehumidity that day was 70 percent in Grand Island.The average wind speed that day was 3.5 miles perhour.

Those high temperatures plus a lack of wind andhigh humidity resulted in more than 2,000 cattledying throughout eight counties in Nebraska,including Hamilton County.

The National Weather Service in Hastings saidthat due to the cool first half of the month, overallmonthly temperatures ranged from 1.3 to 1.6degrees below normal for the Tri-Cities area.Rainfall at Grand Island and the airport totaled of8.27 inches, which is 4.55 inches above normal.Hastings precipitation totaled closer to normalwith 3.95 inches falling, or 0.36 inch above normal.

Weather patterns were active during June pro-ducing thunderstorms, large hail, damaging windsand tornadoes, NWS reported. The periodic rain-fall, heavy at times, also resulted in some flooding.

Some area weather highlights from the National

Weather Service in Hastings:— June 5 and 6: Thunderstorms produced hail

the size of golf balls and heavy rainfall in excess oftwo and three inches.

— June 6 (evening): Thunderstorms redevelopedduring the evening on June 6 and again producedhail the size of golf balls.

— June 10-11: Heavy rain of 1 to 4 inches fellacross portions of south central Nebraska andnorth central Kansas, causing rises in rivers andlowland flooding.

— June 9-12: Heavy rain from June 9 throughthe 12th led to some significant rainfall totals.

— June 15 (evening): Severe thunderstormsdeveloped and produced an EF0 tornado in AdamsCounty, near Assumption. The storms also pro-duced hail the size of tennis balls.

— June 17: Two days after the tornado nearAssumption, tornadoes again developed from athunderstorm which developed in Buffalo countyand tracked east during the evening. An EF1 tor-nado occurred north of Gibbon, an EF0 tornadotouched down in southern Grand Island, and anEF2 tornado occurred just west of Aurora.

Area storms were also reported on June 18-19

and June 24 producing hail, strong winds andheavy rains.

Storm damage to area crops were estimated to bemore than 45,000 acres in Buffalo, Hall andAdams counties.

In Broken Bow in Custer County, 5.41 inches ofrain fell during June, which was 1.40 inches abovenormal.

The National Weather Service in North Plattereported a storm on June 23 was responsible forproducing flash flooding due to heavy rain overparts of Custer County, south of Arnold. CusterCounty emergency management reported numer-ous roads were washed out from the heavy rain-fall.

Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., has also requestedthat President Barack Obama expedite a majordisaster declaration for Nebraska as a result of thestorms.

“State and local response to these storms wasprompt and effective,” Smith said. “However, theaftermath of the storms is beyond the capacities ofstate and local resources.”

Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., requested thatObama declare 13 Nebraska counties a federal dis-aster area as a result of storms during the monthof June.

He said the storms caused monetary damageand affected future crop production in many coun-ties.

“I support the governor’s leadership in request-ing aid for families, farms and businesses thathave endured hardship and face a difficult roadahead,” he said. “It is times like these when assis-tance from the federal government is appropriateand necessary.”

"State and local responseto these storms was promptand effective. However, theaftermath of the storms isbeyond the capacities ofstate and local resources.''

By LORI POTTER and GINGER JENSENKearney Hub

KEARNEY - Nebraska's bill for damages toKansas for Republican River Compact noncompli-ance in 2005 and 2006 is much less than anticipat-ed.

However, Nebraska officials may have to rewriteintegrated water management plans for the Upper,Middle and Republican natural resources districts.

Those two recommendations are among 12 madeby arbitrator Karl J. Dreher. They reflect plusesand minuses officials from both states saw inTuesday's non-binding arbitration report on com-pact and Kansas v. Nebraska lawsuit settlementissues.

Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning waspleased that Dreher rejected Kansas officials' argu-ments that monetary damages should be based onNebraska's gains from overuse of water in 2005and 2006.

Instead the arbitrator recommended thatNebraska make a nominal damage payment of$10,000 until Kansas can correct its estimates ofwater that should have been available to theKansas Bostwick Irrigation District.

David Barfield, chief engineer for the KansasDivision of Water Resources, told the Hub hebelieves justification was provided for the damagessought.

Kansas officials wanted $9 million in damages,while Nebraska officials argued that no more than$1.23 million was owed. Kansas' original bill was$72 million, but Dreher ruled in December thatKansas could seek payment only for actual dam-ages.

When asked by the Hub if the final award couldbe more if Kansas meets the accounting require-ments, Bruning said, "It's a big if .... Kansas has toprove how it was damaged. Kansas had recordcrops in 2005 and 2006 and more water than theyneeded."

His said the report was about what Nebraskaofficials expected.

Bruning said Nebraska's biggest issues weredamages and compliance. "I think Nebraskansunderstand that we're gonna have to do more inwater-short years ... . We can live with that," hesaid, adding that it's important that Dreher agreedthat Kansas can't tell Nebraska how to comply.

Barfield described Tuesday's report as "a verypositive decision for Kansas." He said the arbitra-tor rejected Nebraska's attempts to dilute compactaccounting procedures and determined thatNebraska's current water-use plans for compactcompliance are inadequate.

"We're certainly encouraged by all that," Barfieldsaid. "... It's a notice for Nebraska to take the com-pact seriously with actions."

Dreher specifically said the integrated watermanagement plans for the Upper, Middle andLower Republican NRDs are inadequate to ensurecompliance during prolonged dry periods. Theplans were written by the NRDs and the NebraskaDepartment of Water Resources.

"Nebraska and the Republican River NRDsshould make further reductions in consumptivegroundwater withdrawals beyond what's requiredin the current IMPs ...," Dreher wrote. He also rec-ommends that the state and NRDs obtain "perma-nent, interruptible supply contracts with surfacewater irrigators."

LRNRD Manager Mike Clements of Alma saidmore work needs to be done, but he believes his dis-trict has made good progress in helping bringNebraska into compliance.

"We had to get a process in place so we could payfor some of the things we've been doing," Clementssaid. "If we hadn't purchased surface water in2007, Nebraska wouldn't have been in complianceon the five-year average, and we needed thatauthorization in LB701."

Work still must be done on a more permanentplan for surface water use, rather than going year-to-year, he said, and also on a river flow augmenta-tion project to help ensure adequate flows toKansas.

The major part of the 2007 surface water pur-chase involved the Frenchman-CambridgeIrrigation District upstream of Harlan CountyLake. Manager Brad Edgerton of Cambridge saiddistrict officials always have been willing to work

with DNR and the NRDs."There has to be a lot of careful negotiations on

both sides before an agreement using surface watercan be hammered out," Edgerton said.

A big issue is Frenchman-Cambridge's long-termwater supply from Colorado and western Nebraska.He said ensuring that supply could involve a riveraugmentation project in Colorado or shutting downmore wells in both upstream regions.

"It has taken us six years to store enough waterin our reservoirs so that this year we can deliver 8inches of water (per acre) to all of our irrigators,"Edgerton said. "When we're out of water, everyone'sout of water."

Clements said the arbitrator is concerned aboutthe long-term. "We are working on that right nowand, frankly, I'm proud of what our board and ourirrigators have done," he said.

The compact states now have 30 days to decidewhether to accept the recommendations or ask theU.S. Supreme Court to rehear the case.

Barfield wouldn't comment on whether the reportmakes it more or less likely that the case willreturn to the court. Bruning said the decision is upto Kansas.

"Our big issue is future compliance," Barfieldsaid. "The conclusions were firm that Nebraska'scurrent actions are insufficient. ... That's been ourstatements from the beginning, that Nebraska hasto take firmer action."

Barfield said he thinks it would be hard forNebraskans to feel good about the recommenda-tions.

Bruning said that in general, he liked what heread. "I hope we can reach agreement outside ofcourt," he added. "I've said that all along."

Arbitrator Dreher recommends lower penalty, notes that Kansascan't tell Nebraska how to comply with Rep River Compact

• Monetary damages. Kansas should beawarded nominal damages of $10,000 forNebraska's overuse of water in 2005 and2006 until Kansas can correct its estimatesof the amounts of water that would havebeen available to the Kansas BostwickIrrigation District from the Courtland Canalbut for Nebraska's overuse and can demon-strate that its assumptions and methodolo-gy for estimating lost profits and establish-ing damages is reasonably reliable duringsubsequent arbitration or before the court.

• Future compliance. The integratedmanagement plans for the Upper, Middleand Lower Republican natural resourcesdistricts are inadequate to ensure compli-ance with the compact (and settlement)during prolonged dry-year conditions, suchas occurred in 2005 and 2006.

Nebraska and the Republican River NRDsshould make further reductions in consump-tive groundwater withdrawals beyond

what's required in the current IMPs andshould obtain permanent, interruptible sup-ply contracts with surface water irrigatorsto ensure compliance ... during prolongeddry-year conditions.

• Injunctive relief. To ensure Nebraska'scompliance ... into the future, it is not nec-essary to impose Kansas' proposed remedy.However, Kansas is entitled to injunctiverelief enjoining Nebraska from exceeding itsfuture allocations.

• Future sanctions. Should Nebraska failto comply with an injunction, sanctions maybe appropriate in addition to the award ofadditional damages to Kansas. While suchsanctions may be significant, those sanc-tions should be based on the specific cir-cumstances of Nebraska's failure to comply.

• Harlan County Lake evaporation.Accounting procedures should be modifiedso that evaporation from Harlan CountyLake is allocated between Kansas and

Nebraska in proportion to each state's useof lake water for all purposes, including tooffset streamflow depletions from consump-tive groundwater withdrawals.

• Accounting, model issues. Nebraska'sproposed accounting procedure changes forseveral reaches in the basin should not beadopted. ... However, the Republican RiverCompact Administration should considerreconvening the Technical GroundwaterModeling Committee to thoroughly re-evalu-ate (certain aspects of the model'sresponse).

• River master. A river master for theRepublican River should not be appointeduntil the specific duties and authorities ofthat river master could or should undertakein the Republican River Basin have bespecifically identified and determined to benecessary.

Perennial plants can make a garden-er's life much easier. Beds don't have tobe replanted, much of the structure ofthe garden remains throughout theyear and plants don't have to be pur-chased annually. By definition, a peren-nial is a plant that lives for more thantwo or three years.

But just how perennial is that peren-nial you just planted?

Many wonderful perennials surviveonly two or three years. Still, we plantthem happily and hope they will contin-ue on by reseeding themselves.Examples include: baby's breath, blan-ket flower, delphinium, Dianthus,hybrid tulips, lavender, penstemon andScabiosa.

Other perennials are old reliables wecan trust to carry on year after year.For shade, hostas and ferns aredependable comebacks.

Not surprisingly, many of the longest-lived perennials for sun are deep-rootedgrasses and prairie plants.

They may not look like much in gar-den centers early in spring, maybe noteven the first year or two they're in theground, but they'll pay off in the long-term. If you're thinking years or evendecades into the future, here's some toconsider:

Culver's root, Veronicastrum vir-ginicum, is a very tall erect perennialwith spikes of small, white tubularflowers in July-August. Native to openwoods and moist meadows, it prefersmoist, well-drained soil in full sun orlight shade.

Queen of the meadow, Filipendulaulmaria, has fragrant, creamy-whiteastilbe-like flowers that bloom from

early summer into fall. Full to part sun.Dwarf blue indigo, Baptisia minor,

has beautiful blue flowers in spring andrich brown seed pods that are great fordried arrangements.

Skullcap, Scutellaria scoridifolia'Mongolian Skies', is very drought-tol-erant. Blue/purple flowers in earlysummer will return if deadheaded.

New Jersey tea, Ceanothus ameri-canus, is a native shrub with clusters ofwhite flowers.

Butterfly milkweed, Asclepiastuberosa, has dark orange-red flowerclusters in summer and attractive seedpods in fall. Plant in full sun in dry soilor raised bed.

Pale purple coneflower, Echinaceapallida, is a sweet-scented coneflowerwith spidery petals that blooms June-July. Also a long-lasting cut flower.

Tennessee coneflower, Echinacea ten-nesseensis, is an adaptable, deep-root-ed coneflower with bright, upliftedpetals.

Spike gayfeather, Liatris spicata'Kobold' grows to 2 feet and has deeppurple spikes.

Other long-lived perennials include:aster, astilbe, balloon flower, bee balm,bleeding heart, Campanula, catmint,daffodil, daylily, evening primrose,hardy geranium, iris, Joe-pye weed,lady's mantle, Lamium, leadplant,Lenten rose, peony, red hot poker,black-eyed Susan, sedum and yarrow.

If you want to cast your vote aboutshort- and long-lived perennials, fill ina quick survey at Nebraska StatewideArboretum and we'll share the informa-tion in next month's "In the Garden."

Perennials are Plants for the Long Haul

“Mongolian Skies” skull cap is very drought tolerant; it’s blue/purple flowers evenwill rebloom if deadheaded.

CURTIS, Neb. – The AdjustedCrop Revenue Election option of the2008 Farm Bill provides minimumrevenue guarantees to producerswho qualify, but only in states thatmeet the program requirement, saidUniversity of Nebraska–LincolnExtension Educator Robert Tigner.

Producers must sign up for ACREby Aug. 14, 2009, if they wish totake advantage of the program thisyear, said Tigner, educator in theSouthwest Four, Chase, Dundy,Hayes and Hitchcock counties.

Payments under the program aremade when revenue drops below aguaranteed floor.

Reduced yield and reduced pricesare the two factors that impact pay-ments, said Tigner.

Payments to individual producersare also impacted by a state’s rev-enue calculation. If the state doesnot qualify under ACRE, an individ-ual producer receives no payments,even though he or she would other-wise qualify.

Two factors that affect prices areethanol and oil prices. A rapid risein both of those prices will probablytrigger a rise in corn prices as well.The price of oil depends upon theU.S. and the world economy.

If the economy grows or if the cur-rent recession bottoms out, oil andethanol prices will probablystrengthen, as has occurred recent-ly. The price of corn will probablyfollow.

The strengthening of those prices

will yield a lower probability of anACRE payment than if the oppositeoccurred.

Factors that enter into calcula-tions for ACRE include the reportedNational Agricultural StatisticsService price times 90 percent,times the marketing year averageprice for a specific crop.

A state might hit revenue triggerson one or multiple crops but theremay be years when the state, or anindividual producer hits a triggerprice on soybeans and not on theother cover crops, or it may bewheat in some years, or it may bemultiple crops.

The other factor that impactsACRE eligibility is yield variability.Great yield variability is likely totrigger a state ACRE trigger.

The larger the state and the morepractices that mediate yield vari-ability, such as irrigation, the lesslikely a state trigger is going to behit.

Nebraska is a large state and ithas different climatic regions, butmuch of it is in corn production.

On the other hand, 25 percent ofNebraska’s corn is dryland. UnderACRE, non-irrigated and irrigatedcorn are considered separately, sothere may be years when irrigatedcorn doesn’t vary enough to triggerACRE eligibility, but dryland does.In that instance the dryland pro-ducers may receive a payment,when the irrigators don’t.

Both state, farmtriggers must be metfor ACRE payment

LINCOLN – Nebraska corn farmersplanted 9.4 million acres of corn thisyear, the U.S. Department ofAgriculture said today, which is themost acres planted to corn in the statesince the 1930s – and equaling thenumber of acres planted in 2007.

Planted acres are 6.4 percent greaterthan a year ago when Nebraska farm-ers planted 8.8 million acres. USDA’splanting report in March estimatedthat Nebraska farmers would plant 8.8million acres again this year.

Harvested acres in the state are esti-mated at 9.2 million, up from lastyear’s 8.6 million.

“In most parts of the state, Nebraskafarmers saw good spring weather thatallowed them to get planters rollingearly,” said Don Hutchens, executivedirector of the Nebraska Corn Board.“At the same time, corn futures movedup a bit and encouraged farmers toplant a few extra acres since MotherNature was cooperating. The result isthe most planted acres in Nebraskasince the 1930’s, which equals theacres planted in 2007.”

Nationally, USDA said 87.0 millionacres of corn were planted this year, up1 percent from last year and 2 millionacres more than what USDA reportedin its March planting intentionsreport. This is the second-largestplanted acreage since 1946, behind2007.

USDA said harvested acres acrossthe country would be 80.1 million, upfrom last year’s 78.6 million.

“Although there have been pockets ofsevere weather in the state,Nebraska’s corn crop is off to a tremen-dous start. With the additional acresand more good weather, we’re lookingat a very large crop across the stateand throughout the country as awhole,” Hutchens said.

With good growing conditions therest of this summer, farmers across thecountry may produce a very large crop,in the 12 billion to 13 billion bushelrange, and one of the largest on record,said Kelly Brunkhorst, ag programmanager for the Nebraska Corn Board.“When combined with a 1.6 billionbushel carry over from last year, cornfarmers will once again be able to meetall demands for corn during the com-ing year,” he said.

He said should weather cooperate,Nebraska farmers could be looking at aharvested crop of 1.4 billion to 1.5 bil-lion bushels.

“Nebraska farmers today are puttingnew technologies to work in ‘sustain-ing innovations’ that allow us to growmore corn on fewer acres. As an exam-ple, we only produced 250 millionbushels in 1932 when we planted 10.7million acres compared to the 9.4 mil-lion today and we expect to produce 1.5billion bushels, a 500 percent increaseon fewer acres,” concluded Hutchens.

In a separate report, USDA said UScorn stocks as of June 1 totaled 4.27billion bushels, up 6 percent a yearago. On-farm storage totaled 2.21 bil-lion bushels, up 12 percent from a yearago, while off-farm stocks, at 2.06 bil-lion bushels, are up slightly. TheMarch to May 2009 disappearance, orcorn use, was estimated at 2.69 billionbushels, compared with 2.83 billionbushels during the same period lastyear. That shows that corn use was offslightly this year over last.

Corn stocks in Nebraska totaled 486million bushels, up 23 percent fromlast year’s 395.2 million. USDA said250 million bushels were being storedon Nebraska farms, an increase of 38.9percent from last year’s 180 million,while 236 million were stored off farm,an increase of 9.7 percent from lastyear’s 215.2 off farm.

HASTINGS — Whatwas to be a two-weekfurlough for workers atthe Premium ProteinProducts plant inHastings and Lincolnhas now been extendedthrough July 15.

According to TheAssociated Press, work-ers at Premium ProteinProducts went on fur-lough June 11 and weretold they would be backat work on June 25. Thefurlough now has beenextended to July 15.

The company is head-quartered in Lincolnand operates a slaugh-

ter and processing plantin Hastings.

Beef industry difficul-ties due to the globaleconomy, higher feedcosts, weakeningdemand and other prob-lems led to workers atthe two plants beingfurloughed.

Last month, PremiumProtein Products fur-loughed about 250workers in Hastingsand 60 in Lincoln.

The company’sHastings plant operatesa source-verified beefkill and cutting facilitywith a yearly slaughtercapacity of 150,000head, according to the

company’s Web site atwww.premiumprotein-products.com. The planthas been approved forsales to export markets.

The Lincoln plant is aprocessing facility withan annual capacity of$100 million in sales.According to the compa-ny’s Web site, theLincoln plant producesfresh and frozen groundbeef products, bothhand- and machine-cutsteaks, dry-aged beefproducts, cooked chick-en products and Phillysteak products.

Premium ProteinProducts is one ofHastings’ largeremployers. The beefpacking facility wasbuilt in 1964. It wassold to Premium ProteinProducts in 2003 byLovett & Sons Inc.

Under PremiumProtein Products owner-ship, the companyexpanded its operationsby adding 30,000 squarefeet to the facility, along

with increasing employ-ment.

In an effort to reverseslumping beef sales tohelp plants, such asPremium Protein,Nebraska corn and beefproducers recentlyreturned from a promo-tion trip to Japan andSouth Korea.

The mission wasorganized by the U.S.Meat Export Federation(USMEF).

“It is important forcorn growers to supportbeef producers as theydevelop and expandmarkets,” said MarkJagels, a member of theNebraska Corn Board

and a farmer fromDavenport. “We’re onthis mission to do thatand to put a face onagriculture for impor-tant customers in Japanand South Korea.”

Jagels was joined onthe mission byNebraskans AlanTiemann, a NebraskaCorn Board memberand farmer fromSeward, and DavidHamilton, a NebraskaBeef Council memberand farmer fromThedford. Three farm-ers from Iowa were alsoon the trade mission.

The group met withJapanese meat buyers,

manufacturers andretailers.

“As corn producers,we realize that the live-stock industry is ourNo. 1 customer and thatwe need to be support-ive of beef exports,”Tiemann said. “That’ssomething we have real-ly set our minds to inNebraska — under-standing our largestcustomers’ needs andworking together tomove our industries for-ward.”

One of the problemsfacing Premium ProteinProducts and other beefprocessing companiesthat ship products over-seas is that currentlybeef shipped to Japanmust come from cattle20 months old oryounger.

Jagels said if that agelimit could be raised tofollow the 30-monthrule that is more stan-dardized, it would helpU.S. beef producersreach their full marketpotential in that coun-try.

“When we visited withthe importers, grocersand meat buyers here inJapan, they were all insupport of a higher agelimit,” Tiemann said.“They could definitelyutilize more U.S. beef ifwe are able to get that,so we’re hopeful thatour governments willmove this issue forwardsoon and then we’ll real-ly be able to open upthis export market.”

Jagels said Japan andSouth Korea are veryimportant trading part-ners for the UnitedStates.

“We also need toremember that 95 per-cent of the world’s popu-lation resides outsidethe United States,” hesaid. “We need to be vis-ible in these markets tosustain and grow U.S.and Nebraska beefdemand. Every ton ofbeef we export repre-sents about 1.5 acres ofcorn and the equivalentcorn co-product like dis-tillers grains, whichcomes from ethanolfacilities. Exports arevital.”

Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to profittaking and outside market pressure.

The lower stock market and weak overall movement incommodities has also been noted for the weakness.

Heading into Thursday, the weekly net changes are 152lower on August and October is down 190. September feedersare 27 lower on the week. Cash trade has been slow to devel-op this week with asking prices firm at $85/$135.

There is some cash optimism around, but with the choicecutout under $140 I believe cash trade will have a ceiling inthe $83-$84 area. Packers have slowed chain speed in anattempt to fight poor processing margins, but this will createthe potential for larger showlists.

The cutout finished higher on Wednesday with choice up45 at $138.45 and select was up 10 at $132.63.

The weather is also something we need to keep an eye on;prolonged heat could spark a small short covering bounce.

But for this week the forecasts have lessened the expect-ed heat as we have moved through the week.

Hedgers call with questions, we had an opportunity withthe rally last week into Monday to get some protection inplace in the upper part of our monthly range.

Lean hog trade has been lower this week due to profit tak-ing by market longs. After three days of trade, the weekly netchange is 105 lower on the July contract and August is down12.

Cash trade is expected to remain steady, but reports of alow Saturday kill plan could keep cash price on the defensive.

We should see mixed trade near-term due to some bearspreading from the Goldman Roll.

There are rumors out of Canada that the government willcontinue to take more sows out of production; this round ofliquidation is rumored to be more aggressive than previousattempts.

Russia did announce early this week that it had lifted its

ban on pork products from select states, so we could seesome demand come back to this market. On the August chart,the market ran into resistance just below the 40-day at 6325;nearby support is down at the 10-day at 6017 and then the 20-day at 6000.

Frequent rains prior to and during floweringincrease the risk of wheat scab (Fusarium headblight), especially in late maturing wheat. In addi-tion to frequent, heavy rainfall before and duringflowering, other risk factors for scab are plantingwheat into corn or wheat stubble and planting sus-ceptible varieties.

Most of this year's wheat crop escaped severe scabdue to a prolonged dry period in May. However, fre-quent rainfall starting in late May and continuing

through much of June raised the risk of scab in latermaturing wheat, especially in western Nebraska.Some isolated fields are showing severe scab

Scabby wheat heads are bleached white or tan-brown, depending on the variety. Partial bleachingof wheat heads is diagnostic of scab. Bleaching usu-ally starts in the middle of the head, but can startanywhere on the head and continue until the entirehead is bleached. Scabby heads can appear in anentire field or in large areas of a field within a fewdays. A pink discoloration on some scabby headsrepresents spore masses of Fusarium graminearum,the fungus that causes scab.

Scabby kernels can be shriveled or can appearchalky white or pink (Figure 5). These kernels are

With the challenges facing porkproducers today, the NationalPork Board is seeking input for anew plan to shape the future ofthe U.S. pork industry. The objec-tive of the planning process is tofind new solutions to the econom-ic, social, and scientific chal-lenges facing the pork industry.

To ensure the plan focuses oncritical needs of pork producers, aseries of regional meetings isplanned for July to obtain inputfrom three distinct geographicareas.

The meetings are open to allpork producers and to others withan interest in the future of thepork industry and the role of thePork Checkoff. The Regionalmeeting being held in Nebraskawill be from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.on, Thursday, July 23-Omaha,Nebraska at the Holiday InnConvention Center,3321 South72nd St. (72nd Street Exit off I-80).

During 2010, the National PorkBoard will celebrate the 25thanniversary of the creation of the

national Pork Checkoff. Thestrategic planning process willexamine the role of the PorkCheckoff, just as the pioneeringproducers did 25 years ago, saidChris Novak, National PorkBoard chief executive.

The big questions, Novak said,are, "What are the industry'sneeds, concerns andprioritiesnow, and what will they be fiveyears from now and even 25 yearsfrom now? And what should theNational Pork Board be doing toaddress these needs through thePorkCheckoff?"

At the regional meetings, pro-ducers will hear a brief overviewof the National Pork Board, and aprogress report on the planningprocess. Proucers will then havethe opportunity to provide anddiscuss their ideas. The best ofthose ideas will go to the taskforce of producer leaders to craft anew plan for the future. Theboard is expected to approve anew strategic plan by the end of2009.

Producers unable to attend one

of the regional meetings can stillparticipate in several ways,Novak said. They can providetheir ideas to their state office orto state leaders who will attendthe meetings. They also will havethe opportunity to participate inan online survey that will beavailable on www.Pork.org.

Anyone planning to attend oneof the regional meetings is askedto call (toll-free) the ProducerService Center at the NationalPork Board - 800-456-PORK priorto July 17, 2009.

Customer service representa-tives will have details and direc-tions to the meetings in each ofthe three cities.

The Nebraska Pork ProducersAssociation is a grassroots, incor-porated, non profit organizationestablished in 1961. NPPA wasdeveloped to promote the porkindustry through the enhance-ment of consumer demand, pro-ducer education and research.For more information, visitNPPA’s website atwww.NEpork.org.

speed during harvest to blow out the lighter scabbykernels.

Harvest and store grain from severely affectedparts of the field separately.

The moisture content of scabby grain should beabout 12% before storage and should be maintainedat that level to avoid deterioration of grain from fun-gus growth.

Consider cleaning scabby grain. Cleaning can beachieved with air, screens, or a gravity table. To jus-tify cleaning, the price of cleaned grain minus clean-ing costs should exceed the price of scabby grain.

Do not burn crop residue as this practice will noteliminate soil borne pathogens, depletes the soil ofnitrogen, and increases the risk of wind erosion.

LINCOLN— Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalitionrecently contracted Marcy Hunter as the NGLCcoordinator.

In this role, Hunter will be implementing work-shops and tours across the state, handling grantfulfillment, and conducting communications andpublic awareness for the organization as part ofher job responsibilities.

She also oversees the Cowboy Logic StewardshipNetwork and the NGLC Rangeland MonitoringProgram, and serves as the Nebraska representa-tive of the national Grazing Lands ConservationInitiative.

Raised on a four-generation Nebraska Sandhillscow-calf ranch, Hunter grew up with strong con-servation values.

Her professional background includes workingas Marketing Director for Pinnacle Bank, andmost recently as Account Director for PickeringCreative Group in Lincoln. Hunter earned her BA

from the University of Nebraska Lincoln inJournalism and Mass Communications.

“We, as Nebraskans, are very fortunate to havesuch a valuable and diverse natural resource inour own backyard," said Hunter. "It is vital to edu-cate and create awareness of the NebraskaGrazing lands in an effort to conserve, preserveand optimize these abundant resources for genera-tions to come.”

The Nebraska Grazing Lands Coalition is anindependent organization of ranchers, interestgroups, and agencies whose mission is to collabo-rate on projects that improve the management andhealth of Nebraska grazing lands and ensure long-term stability of rangeland resources.

The NGLC is funded through grants from theUSDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service,the Nebraska Environmental Trust, the NebraskaRural Development Commission and the SandhillsTask Force.

Traveling, both near and far, is oneof my hobbies. It is a great way to learnabout other cultures as well as meetsome very nice people.

Traveling also helps a person learnhow to pack and live with only necessi-ties. Years ago I traveled for fourmonths in Europe with two pairs ofjeans and four tops. I learned that Idon’t need a lot of clothes while travel-ing to survive but, believe me, Irefused to wear those clothes once Ireturned home.

Summer is often a time for travel.Here are some hints that I havelearned either through my experiencesor fellow travelers.

Keep a bag or suitcase permanentlypacked with toothbrush, toothpaste,shampoo, hair spray, make-up andother grooming supplies. I also keep asmall hair dryer, curling iron andalarm clock in the bag. This has savedtime packing as well as preventedheadaches from forgotten items.

Color coordinate clothing so youdon’t have to take extra shoes andaccessories. Rolling clothes results infewer wrinkles than folding them. Or,use tissue paper between folds of cloth-ing items.

Take extra plastic bags for wetbathing suits and soiled clothing.Putting shoes in plastic bags keep thepacked clothes cleaner. Socks andobjects can be packed into shoes.

Pack an empty bag or suitcase insideyour larger suitcase. Use the emptybag or suitcase to pack all those sou-venirs. Or, pack your suitcase only halffull to allow for later purchases.

Save your packing list from trip totrip. Even though you may take totallydifferent things, the categories remainthe same.

Are You A Safe Canner?Home canned foods are a favorite

among many people. These foods aresafe when the proper procedures arefollowed. When correct methods, timesand temperatures are not followed,home canned foods can be dangerous.

Food preservation is a science. Likeother sciences, new knowledge contin-ues to evolve. Recommendations forhome canning change based on thenew findings. If you learned to canthirty years ago, or even ten years ago,the methods you learned may not bewhat is recommended based on cur-rent research.
