Two proposals that could change the future ofAmerica's horses are drawing mixed reactionsacross the state. LB 305 and LB 306 were intro-duced in the Nebraska Legislature last week.

LB 305 would create a state meat inspectionprogram, which could eventually lead to thereopening of horse processing plants byallowing the meat to be transported across

state lines. LB 306 would require humane soci-eties and horse rescue operations to accept ahorse if one was presented to them or face aClass 4 misdemeanor.

Wayne Pacelle, president of the HumaneSociety of the United States, and CharlesStenholm, senior policy advisor for OlssonFrank Weeda, P.C., squared off in Sunday'sedition of The North Platte Telegraph.

Pacelle maintained that the influx of horsesin the U.S. is the result of irresponsible owner-

ship and the poor judgment of people whoacquire animals they can't care for. He saidpeople who can't treat horses responsiblyshould either adopt the animals out or havethem euthanized.

"Nebraska does not need any polished,smooth talking, politically correct, mega-million dollar operation out of Washington,D.C., interfering with our animal agriculture,"

As crop demand increases andthe unpredictably of weatheraround the world has tightenedsupplies, crop prices haveincreased, such as the marketreaction to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture's report onWednesday.

And, as crop prices increase, sohas the cost of another commodity

invaluable to food production "land.

According to the FarmersNational Company, demand forU.S. farmland has jumped to afive-year high, spurred on by aprofitable grain market and aboost in buyer interest from bothfarm operators and land investors.

But while demand rose sharplyduring the last quarter of 2010,the supply of available farmlandfell to historically low levels,

according to the Farmers NationalCompany.

"There are a number of factorsdriving this increasing demand,which we see continuing into2011," said Lee Vermeer, AFM, vicepresident of real estate operationsat Farmers National Company."Jumps in commodity prices areincreasing profitability of land asan investment. Landowners are

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

Two widespreadsnow events wereobserved during thepast two weeks. Thefirst system impactedthe state during theJanuary 9-10 periodwhen 6-10 inches ofsnow fell across theeastern 3/4 of thestate. Isolated snow-fall totals of 12-14inches were reportedacross central and

north central Nebraska. The second eventmaterialized on January 19, bringing 2-5 inchtotals to much of the central 1/3 of the state.Heavier totals were observed along the Kansas-Nebraska border from Hebron to Falls City.The snow cover provided decent cover to thewheat crop and likely insulated it from night-time temperatures that dropped to sub zeroreading in the days following each storm. Even

with the recent uptick in storm activity, precip-itation departures cover most of the state in thelatest 60, 90, 120, and 180 day periods.

Week One Forecast, 1/22 - 1/28: A persistentnorth - northwest upper air flow will dominatethe forecast period. Numerous waves willquickly pass through the state, but exacttiming of individual waves will be virtuallyimpossible to accurately predict. Currentmodels indicate the first wave will movethrough the state late on 1/22 and exit bymidday on 1/23. Several inches of snow arepossible with highest probabilities assigned tothe central 1/3 of the state. Another wave isprojected to move through the state on 1/26with snow projected for the western 1/3 ofNebraska. Models indicate another wave willmove southeastward on 1/27 and target easternNebraska with accumulating snowfall. Hightemperatures are projected to range from themid teens northeast to upper 20's west on 1/23,warming into low 20's northeast to low 30'ssouthwest on 1/23 and 1/24, with low 30's

northeast to low 40's southwest on 1/25. Highsare projected to cool into the mid teens north-east to upper 20's west on 1/26, cooling into thesingle digits northeast to low 20's west on 1/27,before warming into the upper 20's northeast tolow 40's southwest on 1/28.

Week Two Forecast, 1/29 - 2/4: North-Northwest upper air flow continues to bedepicted by the models during this forecastperiod. No significant snowstorms arecurrently indicated, but several quick movingwaves will move southeastward through thestate bring occasional periods of light snow.Highs are currently projected to range from theupper teens northeast to low 30's southwestduring the 1/29-1/30 period, warming to theupper 20's northeast to upper 30's southwest on1/31. Highs are projected to cool in the upperteens northeast to low 40's southwest on 2/1,warm into the upper 20's northeast to upper40's southwest on 2/2, then cool to the low 20'snortheast to low 30's southwest on 2/3 and 2/4.

Laughter is the best medicine. Have youheard that statement before? Laughter andhumor can be great medicine. They are posi-tive and healthy ways for families to deal withstress and change. This does not mean,however, that one should laugh off everythingand not ever be serious.

Families will face stress and change almostconstantly. Some of the stress may be minor;others major. Some changes are small andbarely noticeable; others can be catastrophic.Laughing and crying are both humanresponses to stress. Both displays of emotioncan be helpful.

Finding humor in day to day life is beneficialphysically, psychologically, and socially.

Laughing out loud is good exercise for thecardiovascular system. It exercises the heartmuscles and improves circulation. Blood pres-sure decreases during laughter. The lungs fillwith oxygen. Obviously, laughter is not asubstitute for medical attention. Laughter,however, can help ease some of the pain for ashort time at least.

Psychologically, laughter can reduce theseriousness of a situation and act as a stressreducer. Socially, laughter is fun and conta-gious.

Humor does not mean just joke telling. Jokescan help add humor but jokes are not the sameas humor. Remember, too, that there is a bigdifference between laughing with someone and

laughing at someone. Laughing with someonecan be helpful; laughing at someone is hurtful.

Families can find humor every day. Have amorning laugh at breakfast. Appoint a jollyol-ogist each week, rotating the responsibility toeach family member.

Doing things for others can bring humor andjoy to your life. Make a habit of thanking atleast one person per day. Give away hugs tofamily and friends.

Wear a smile. If you don’t feel like smiling,make a paper smile and wear that. After a fewminutes, you’ll probably be smiling for real.

Bring variety to routine activities. Do some-thing silly like serve pizza for breakfast orwalk backward through the house.

When waiting in line, look for humor ratherthan grumbling about having to wait. Singsongs with your children or play, “I spy”. Havefamily members take turns telling a funnystory. It could be something that actuallyhappened or a made-up story.

Make an upsetting experience funny. Insteadof getting upset that you put on one blue shoeand one black shoe and didn’t notice forseveral hours, think about the fact that youhave a pair of shoes at home that match theshoes you have on. It can be a funny story. Bythe way, this did happen to me. Once I got overmy embarrassment, I saw humor in the event.

Share your experiences with your family.Laugh together and with each other.

My favorite humorist, Loretta LaRoche, hasa saying, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is amystery, today is a gift; that’s why they call itthe present.” Give the gift of laughter.

Give The Gift Of Laughter

When it comes to winter, precautions need tobe taken to avoid carbon monoxide poisoningand winter fire hazards.

Carbon monoxide often is called the silentkiller because it is an invisible, odorless, color-less gas created when fuels, such as kerosene,gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil,and methane, etc., burn incompletely.

Carbon monoxide can result from faultyfurnaces or other heating appliances, portablegenerators, water heaters, clothes dryers, orcars left running in garages.

Common symptoms of carbon monoxidepoisoning may include headache, nausea, anddrowsiness. Extremely high levels of poisoningcan be fatal, causing death within minutes. Beespecially alert during heavy ice and snowconditions in the heating season andextremely cold weather.

To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, takethese precautions:

• Make sure all fuel-burning vented equip-ment — such as the vents for the dryer,furnace, stove, and fireplace — is vented to theoutside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.Make sure the vent for the exhaust is keptclear and unobstructed by snow or ice.

• Also be sure the gas meter is clear. If themeter or an appliance

vent is covered in snow, remove the snowcarefully with the hand, a brush, or broom. Donot remove it by kicking or with a shovel. Becareful not to shovel, plow or blow snow upagainst the meter or a vent pipe.

• Install and maintain carbon monoxidealarms to avoid risk of carbon monoxidepoisoning.

• Maintain heating equipment and chimneysby having them cleaned and inspected annu-ally by a qualified professional.

• If you need to warm a vehicle, remove itfrom the garage immediately after starting it.Never run a vehicle or other fueled engine ormotor indoors, even if garage doors are open.Make sure the exhaust pipe of a runningvehicle is not blocked with snow, ice, or othermaterials.

• Only use barbecue grills — which canproduce carbon monoxide — outside. Never

use them in the home, garage, porch, or nearbuilding openings.

• Follow the use and care instructions whenusing portable generators during poweroutages. Safe use is critical, so fumes do notenter the home.

• Remember to keep battery-powered lightsindoors and in all vehicles.

To avoid potential fire hazards with spaceheaters, fireplaces, and other appliances,follow these precautions:

• Turn heaters off when you go to bed orleave the room.

• Use and purchase portable space heaterswith an automatic shut off so if they’re tippedover they will shut off.

• Place space heater on solid, flat surface.• Plug power cords directly into outlets and

never into an extension cord.• Inspect for cracked, damaged, broken

plugs, and loose connections. Replace beforeusing.

• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” aroundopen fires and space heaters.

• Supervise children when a fireplace, firepit, or other space heater is being used.

• Use a sturdy, metal screen to preventcontact burns, which are even more commonthan flame burns.

• All heaters need space. Keep things thatcan burn, such as paper, bedding or furniture,at least three feet away from heating equip-ment.

• Use heating equipment that has the labelof a recognized testing laboratory.

• Never use the oven for heating.Many safety professionals warn against

using any type of portable space heatersindoors due to fire risks and potential firehazards. Fuel burning space heaters give offcarbon monoxide and other air pollutants. Ifyou must use one in a temporary situation, donot leave it on when no one is in the room orwhile sleeping.

L e f t o v e r L o v eby Lee Pitts

To paraphrase an old ballad from myyouth... “Where have all the hippies gone?”

It took me awhile to find them but Ifinally figured out where they’re hiding.

Have you ever answered the phone andimmediately knew you shouldn’t have?Recently an old hippie from my past called,said he’d heard something on the radio thata Lee Pitts had written, and he wondered ifit was his old classmate. Sadly it was.

We called him Stoner because he tookmore trips than a truck driver. OnlyStoner’s were on LSD, marijuana and anyother drug he could get his hands on.Stoner went to Woodstock, slept in the mud,rocked back and forth to Country Joe andthe Fish and lived on free love. Needless tosay, we never traveled in the same circlesas he took an entirely different orbitaround the sun than I did.

Stoner was in my area on vacation, lookedme up in the phonebook and now wanted togo out to dinner to talk about old timestogether, despite the fact that we never hadany. I couldn’t think of a good excuse fastenough and was trapped.

I was shocked by Stoner’s appearance.The guy who used to have long, dirty hairnow had less hair than a cue ball andinstead of wearing a tie dyed t-shirt withhappy faces sewn on to ragged bell bottomjeans, he was wearing a suit and tie.Instead of being barefoot he was wearingan expensive pair of Italian loafers. Stonerhad been divorced three times but intro-duced me to his “life partner” Amber, who

was easily 20 years younger than he was.First thing, I looked to see if she was bra-less or wearing sandals. The guy whoalways said he could live without materialthings had rings on three fingers, a Rolexwatch, expensive sunglasses atop his baldhead, a phone clipped on to his ear and iPodear buds around his neck. Turns out theguy who used to listen Jefferson Airplanenow was a big Lady Antebellum fan. Itmade me furious that he now liked togroove to country/western music and Iwanted to scream, “You can’t do that. That’smy music. Go back to the Grateful Dead,you acid head.”

Stoner’s real character came out atdinner. Surprise, surprise, he and Amberwere lacto-ovo vegetarians and this guywho’d crammed an entire pharmacy into hisbody every week in school now didn’t wantany foreign substances in his food. Heordered bottled water because it was morepure and he tried to tell me what to eat!

He showed me photos of his tattooed andpierced five kids by three different women,one of whom ran an “alternative lifestyle”bookstore in San Francisco. Instead ofeverything being “far out” his every otherword was now “awesome.” And here’s theworst part: When I asked him what he didfor a living he said he worked for theUSDA! This guy who teasingly called me“farmer’ in high school, laughed at us whenwe wore our FFA jackets to school, andwouldn’t know a Holstein from a JohnDeere, worked for the USDA! (Food stamp

division). This guy who burned our flag andhated our government had worked for itever since he got back from Canada.

When I walked the couple to their carafter dinner I was surprised to see a silverLexus instead of an old VW bus, and it wasplastered with bumper stickers for theHumane Society, Nature Conservancy and“Green Sex.” It turns out that Stoner is nowan activist for reproductive rights andguaranteed access to contraception. The oldhippie who used to protest that we’d all diein a nuclear holocaust now knows we’ll allperish due to global warming. The same oldhippies who believed in free thinking andhaving an open mind are the same peoplewho’ve given us political correctness.

As Stoner pulled away he rolled down hiscar window and said, “Peace and lovebrother.” And that’s when it hit me: The oldhippies don’t like our country any betternow than they did in the sixties, despite thefact that they’re now running the opera-tion! They are still revoltin’... in more waysthan one.

January 20, 2011Heartland Express - Government

Serving Nebraska’s Third CongressionalDistrict is the highest honor I could ever expe-rience. Beyond representing Nebraskans onlegislative matters, a significant part of my jobis helping improve the federal government’saccessibility and responsiveness whenaddressing the needs of Third District resi-dents.

Civil discourse is a key component to anytruly representative government. Throughhealthy debate, an open and transparentgovernment can benefit all citizens. TheAmerican people need to be able to interactwith those they elect to ensure their voices areheard and their representatives are account-able.

The House of Representatives is and shouldremain easily accessible to all Americans. Afterall, it’s known as the “People’s House.” My officeis proud to be a source of information, assis-tance, and reference for constituents. Beingresponsive by mail, phone, e-mail, and inperson is absolutely necessary for our represen-tative government.

The Third District spans 64,899 square miles,two time zones, and 68.5 of our state’s 93 coun-ties. By comparison, the entire state of NewYork covers just 54,556 square miles and has 62counties. In fact, the Third District is largerthan 27 states in the Union.

In light of these challenges, I host regularMobile Offices throughout the Third District.These numerous Mobile Offices allowconstituents to meet directly with me and mystaff about federal issues and learn aboutconstituent services available through aCongressional office.

Earlier this month, the 112th Congressopened with a bipartisan reading of theConstitution, which I wrote about last week.Members alternated reading passages of thisfounding document which has led our countrythrough so many hard times.

Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) readthe First Amendment during this historicreading, including the line “the right of thepeople peaceably to assemble” – defending theright of Americans to peacefully participate in ademocracy. It was just days before she was shotat a public meeting while carrying out the mostfundamental duty of a Member of Congress –listening to constituents.

Gabby is a colleague and a friend who isknown for her civility and willingness to reachout. Her office was just a couple of doors downfrom mine our freshman year, and we werecolleagues on the House Science and TechnologyCommittee through last year. She is a consum-mate professional dedicated to her constituents

and her country and – thankfully – appears onthe way to recovery.

Along with the rest of the nation, I continue topray for a full recovery by Gabby and all of thesurviving victims of this heinous act, whilemourning the loss of Judge John Roll; GabeZimmerman, Giffords’ director of communityoutreach; Dorwin Stoddard, a pastor atMountain Avenue Church of Christ; nine-yearold elementary student Cristina Greene; andconstituents Dorthy Murray and PhyllisScheck.

While some have called for increased securitymeasures, barriers between elected officialsand their constituents do nothing to foster opencommunication – the bedrock of our democracy.Further, I refuse to allow a singular irrationalact to dictate the dialogue I enjoy having witheach of you.

For those wanting more information onMobile Offices or other ways to contact me, visitmy website at http://adriansmith.house.gov orcontact any of my offices (contact informationbelow). While there you can schedule a meetingwith me, sign-up for regular issue updates,subscribe to my electronic newsletter, orrequest to take part in the many upcoming tele-phone townhalls I will be hosting this year. Asalways, I look forward to being in touch.

Filibuster An Important Trait of the Senateby Senator Mike Johanns

As the Senate comes back into session, there'sa great deal of energy and activity. New sena-tors are sworn in and all bills introduced inprevious sessions – but not signed into law –must be re-introduced in the new Congress. It'salso a chance for each body to consider changesto its procedural rules. Talk of changing certainrules for the 112th Congress is increasing –including the possibility of eliminating theability of a small number of senators to stoplegislation they oppose by filibustering. Thefilibuster, often misconstrued as an obstruc-tionist tool, is fundamental to the Senate's orig-inal design and purpose.

It's important to remember that when ourcountry was founded, our forefathers had justfought a revolution against tyranny, in thename of political freedom. They rightly feared acentral power that could control the lives oftheir new country's citizens. To help guardagainst this, they created a two-house legisla-tive branch to check federal power againstitself.

The House of Representatives was intended tobe a body whose majority ruled; this favored

large-population states over small states (asNebraska would eventually become). Part of theSenate's purpose was to protect the interests ofthe smaller states; as such any one senatorcould object and block a bill's passage. Thisensured every state had a say in the considera-tion of every bill.

This system lasted from the Senate's foundinguntil World War I, when President WoodrowWilson found that he couldn't get the fundinghe wanted for the war from a legislative body inwhich any Senator could impede it. At hisbehest, the Senate rules were changed to allowa much easier path to passage of legislation.Instead of requiring the full Senate's consent,only a two-thirds approval was required to enddebate. When more than one-third of the Senateopposed ending debate on any matter, it becameknown as a filibuster. In 1975 the two-thirdsthreshold was lowered to three-fifths, or 60votes. It stands at this level today, the lowest ithas ever been in the history of the Senate.

Other proposed changes might sound harm-less but would be equally ill-advised. Sen. TomUdall (D-N.M.) proposes cutting in half, from

two days to one, the time given to Senators toconsider legislation before a vote to end debatecan occur. In the era of mammoth two-thousandpage bills, this is a particularly unwise idea.Another of his proposals is to count only theSenators present when determining the three-fifths threshold. This would incentivize sena-tors to be absent during votes considered politi-cally difficult for them, thereby furtherremoving accountability from the Senate. Yetanother Udall proposal would lower the bar interms of number of votes needed to advancelegislation for floor consideration. Some legisla-tion is so flawed that no amount of floor debatecan fix it – consider the two-thousand pagehealth care bill.

Making it even easier to get these types ofbills through Congress is the opposite of what isneeded. The American people deserve greateraccountability from the Senate and morecareful consideration of what becomes law. Thechanges being proposed today would hurt, nothelp, our country.

I never cease to marvel at the great medicalcare that is available all across our state fromthe teaching and research centers in Omahaand Lincoln to the state of the art hospitals inmany of our rural communities.

These hospitals are not just good for thehealth of Nebraskans, they are good for thehealth of our state’s economy.

I thought about this when I was at a ribboncutting ceremony in McCook where they haveadded a new wing to the Community HealthCenter. The expansion was made possiblethrough $17 million in low interest loans fromthe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,better known as the stimulus.Recovery Funds Help Build Hospital Wing

It did exactly what it was intended to dowhich was all about jobs, jobs, jobs. It putpeople to work now building the addition andwill continue keeping people working well into

the future staffing the hospital as it takes careof many citizens.

Moreover, the hospital will continuecontributing to the economic well being of thearea because that’s what hospitals do all acrossNebraska and throughout America.

Mary Wakefield, head of the Health Resourcesand Services Administration, once made anastute observation when she testified before aSenate committee.Health Care Helps Grow Communities

She said that rural communities that havegood access to health care can survive and grow.On the other hand, she said, communities thatdo not have good access to health care lose theirability to prosper. She said that every healthcare dollar spent locally recycles through thelocal economy one and a half times.

Health care provides 10 to 15 percent of thejobs in many rural counties. When thesecondary benefits of those jobs are included,

health care accounts for 15 to 20 percent of alljobs.

When industry and business consider loca-tion, health services are often one of the mostimportant quality-of-life factors that influencetheir choice.Helping Out a Weak Economy

This is exactly what the doctor ordered to helpwhat ails our weak economy. We need jobs nowto get things back on track on projects likehospitals that will not only benefit our citizensbut keep people working well into the future.

You know how the old expression goes, “if youhave your health you have everything. If youlose your health you lose everything.”

Thanks to forward-thinking Nebraskans whoare proud of their communities and concernedabout their citizens, we have everything; ahealthy population and an economy that hasmaintained much of its health.

using the profits to increase land acquisitions.They are investing in their own operations asland values are stabilizing, and in many cases,increasing."

Vermeer said that while increasing values areboosting the interest in farmland by investors,farm operators account for 85 percent of buyers.

"Farmland purchases have also become anattractive investment for non-operators in thisenvironment," said Vermeer. "It's definitelyshowing a more favorable return on investmentthan traditional investments like the stockmarket and CDs."

Nebraska is one area of the country that iscurrently seeing more of a demand for qualityland than ever before, said JD Maxson, areasales manager for Farmers National Company.Along with Nebraska, that area includesColorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

"With the volatility of the stock market andCD rates historically low, I'm not looking for afarmland market correction any time soon,"Maxson said. "In my opinion, investors willcontinue to look at land as a hedge againstinflation and a sound investment tool with aproven rate of return. Our clients' lack of confi-dence in the financial markets, along with thecurrent CD and interest rates, is reducing moti-vation to put retirement funds on deposit."

Buyer demand for high quality propertycontinues to increase as sellers' inventorycontinues to shrink, Maxson said.

Recent land auctions, according to Maxson,have been well attended with active bidding at10-15 percent above market value. Localowner/operators are winning the bulk of thebidding.

High commodity prices and continued globaldemand for protein are currently driving themarket, according to Maxson.

"Land prices show a definite variation withlocation and quality as key indicators," he said.

And in Nebraska, sale prices of irrigated crop-land varied greatly depending on access, loca-tion and water, according to Maxson.

For example, wet pivot acres range from$2,500 per acre in western Nebraska to $6,000 -$6,500 per acre in central and east centralNebraska. At a recent land auction propertysold at more than $8,000 per acre.

Looking at western Nebraska, prices rangefrom $500 - $650 per acre for average croplandto $1,850 per acre for land in the east river areaof South Dakota, with irrigated land in south-eastern South Dakota averaging $6,500 peracre, said Maxson.

Corn trade has been lower in active trade thisweek. Follow-through buying was seen earlythis week following the supportive USDA reportlast week, but the trade reversed at midweek.The weekly net change is 7 lower on both theMarch and May contracts. On the chart, thetrade posted a key reversal down on Wednesdaywhich may lead to additional chart selling.Nearby support ranges from $6.30 to $6.34which is where we find the 10- and 20-day mov-ing averages. The trade is obviously pricing-inthe tighter carryover number given to us by theUSDA last week, but higher prices may still beneeded to ration demand. World demand itemsremain friendly and ideas of food inflationshould continue to support the trade. Additionalrumors swirled this week that China is lookingto replace reserve inventories. China'sPresident Hu will be visiting the US this week,so there is some speculation that a corn tradecould be announced in the next few days. Thiswould likely imply significant US corn exportsto China which would support trade. There isstill some uncertainty regarding SouthAmerican production numbers that will contin-ue to influence the market as we move throughthe early part of this year. The weekly exportwill be delayed until Friday due to the MLK hol-iday on monday. Hedgers call with questions

Wheat trade has been higher this week due tosome unwinding of long bean versus short wheatspreads. The weekly net change is 24 higher onthe March Chicago contract, KC is up 17, andMinneapolis is up 21. Global quality concernshave been well documented this year. They arelikely priced-in, but European offers areextremely limited, which has most importerslooking to the US. Saudi Arabia announced yes-terday that they plan to increase wheat stocksto a 1 year capacity; this is up from their currentcapacity of 6 months. The announcement shouldcontinue to support trade near-term. Wheat willneed to keep pace with the row crops in order toavoid losing acres, so spillover direction shouldcontinue to control trade near-term. On theMarch Chicago chart, there is a consolidation ofmajor moving averages between $7.64 and $7.86which should serve as support. Hedgers callwith questions.

March 2011 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has been lower this week due tolight profit taking by market longs. The weeklynet change is 11 lower on March beans. MarchMeal is $4.80 lower and bean oil is up 42 points.Demand items remain supportive, but therewere rumors early this week that Chinesecrushers had canceled 2 cargoes of US beans dueto poor crush margins there. If confirmed, thecancelation of US bean cargos would createrenewed selling interest, but the sharp rise inpork and poultry prices should facilitate anincrease in meal demand to China which couldhelp offset potential bean cancelations. Long-term focus will now shift to the South Americancrop where smaller production is likely neededin order to justify higher prices. Argentine grow-ing areas received significant rainfall over theweekend which was noted for the early weak-ness. Brazil saw notably less moisture fall, butconditions were less dire there. Another systemis expected to cross much of South America atmidweek. The current South American season isequivalent to the US July timeframe, so theweather importance is at its peak over the nextmonth. Despite the improved South Americanforecasts, the trend remains higher and theoverall market mentality continues to suggestthat traders will be buyers on breaks. Hedgerscall with questions.

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

said Gary Sears, a Hyannis veterinarian. Searshas practiced veterinary medicine for morethan 40 years, which he says makes him quali-fied to have an opinion about the issue.

Sears referred to a comment published in theMay 1993 edition of Animal People News whenhe said the HSUS has no interest in animalwelfare.

The statement by Pacelle reads: "We have noethical obligation to preserve the differentbreeds of livestock produced through selectivebreeding ... One generation and out. We haveno problems with the extinction of domesticanimals. They are creations of human selectivebreeding."

Sears said Nebraska's livestock producersunderstand animal welfare issues.

"They're responsible, capable and compas-sionate in protecting the welfare of their liveli-hoods," he said. "There are structures in placeto deal with actual abuse of animals, and thereis no need for more regulation."

Here's what others in favor of reopeninghorse processing plants are saying:

"I'm definitely for it," said Galen Sherman, aValentine rancher. "I think it's a must, justbecause what are we going to do with all thesehorses? It's a growing problem."

Gary and Glenda Phipps raise quarter horsesnorth of Whitman. Gary said it's a matter ofpersonal property and the ability to make indi-vidual decisions.

"There are already laws in place to protecthorses, whether they are being used ordisposed of," he said. "It's scary to think thatsomeone else has the power to make judgments

over our property, whether it is our horses, dogsor whatever we own. It also doesn't make sensethat we are importing horse meat for zoos anddog food when there are so many unwantedhorses here."

Glenda said the drop in the horse marketdoesn't just affect breeders.

"It affects people who make or sell tack,trailers and other horse-related products, aswell as veterinarians, transport companies andthose who raise feed for horses," she said. "Ihave personally heard of horses being deniedmedical attention because the cost of treatmentwould far exceed the value of the animal."

Chris Davis is also a rancher near Valentine. "It's sad to see horses starve," she said.

"Especially when there's a more humane way."Seth Adam trains horses at the Lazy K Arena

near Grand Island. He said an abandoned horsewas hit on the highway by his home lastsummer.

"When owners can't afford to feed horses orhave them put down they turn them loose, andsomeday somebody's going to get killed hittingone," he said. "Sometimes I wish that instead offocusing on the horses that are being sent toslaughter, attention would be given to thosethat are being starved and abused, becausethat's far worse.

Here's what those opposed are saying:Brandi Qualset, coordinator of the Missy's

Hope Equine Rescue Resource based out ofMeadow Grove, said her main concern is for thepeople that would be eating the meat.

"It has been proven that much of the meattaken from horses is unsafe for human

consumption," she said. "Many horse ownersuse products specifically labeled 'not for use inhorses intended for human consumption.'"Qualset listed those as fly spray, wound careproducts, dewormers and medications.

"By telling people in other countries that ourmeat is safe, we are putting them at risk," shesaid. "Unless a horse has been owned by oneowner his or her entire life, there is no way toprove without a doubt that the horse has notcome in contact with one of these products."

Qualset said she also worries about theunsanitary conditions that could surround aplant, and the methods used to kill horses.

"The captive bolt is not long enough to reachthe part of the brain that is necessary to killhorses," she said. "Unlike the cattle that thebolt was intended for, horses' brains are setfarther back in their heads. That means theyare still alive while they are being slaugh-tered."

Lin Beaune, owner of Epona Horse Rescue inPleasanton, said there's no easy answer.

"It's one of those horrible, hard situations,"she said. "Horses are starving and rescues arefull. But, the idea of rescue groups facing apenalty if they turn horses away is ludicrous."

She said she's vehemently opposed to slaugh-tering horses for human consumption.

"When any business has a surplus, they stopproducing," she said. "It's a two-edged sword. Ifhorses keep being produced by ranchers, back-yard breeders or whomever, then we're alwaysgoing to have this problem of a surplus ofhorses."

Nebraska soybean farmers produced a recordcrop last year, and corn production fell fromlast year's record crop, says the U.S.Department of Agriculture.

The USDA crop production report releasedWednesday also caused concerns about cropfutures soaring, saying that commoditysupplies could be tight.

In a report released by the USDA's NationalAgricultural Statistics Service, Nebraska FieldOffice, state soybean production for 2010totaled 268 million bushels, up 3 percent fromlast year and a record high. Yield, at 52.5bushels per acre, is down 2 bushels from lastyear but still second highest of record. Area forharvest, at 5.1 million acres, is up 7 percentfrom 2009.

Nationwide, the USDA reported that soybeanproduction in 2010 totaled 3.33 billion bushels,down 1 percent from 2009. U.S. production isthe second largest on record. The average yieldper acre is estimated at 43.5 bushels, a halfbushel below last year's record high yield.Harvested area is up slightly from 2009 to arecord high 76.6 million acres.

In Nebraska, USDA reported that corn forgrain production is estimated at 1.47 billionbushels, down 7 percent from last year's recordhigh. The average yield of 166 bushels per acreis 12 bushels below last year but equal to thesecond highest of record. Farmers harvested8.85 million acres of corn for grain, unchangedfrom 2009.

Nationwide, corn for grain production is esti-mated at 12.4 billion bushels, 5 percent belowthe record high production of 13.1 billionbushels set in 2009.

U.S. grain yield for 2010 is estimated at 152.8bushels per acre. This is 11.9 bushels below therecord high yield of 164.7 bushels per acre set

in 2009. Area harvested for grain is estimatedat 81.4 million acres, up 2 percent from 2009.

With Nebraska estimated to consume nearly700 million bushels of corn this year forethanol production, USDA's Wednesday esti-mates of ethanol production for the 2010-11marketing year fall in line with industry expec-tations, according to the Renewable FuelsAssociation (RFA).

A RFA analysis says it is unlikely USDA willrevise that number any higher in the near term"given the constraints of the E10 blend walland the anticipated slow adoption of E15ethanol blends."

But RFA said the report will "undoubtedly belike catnip for speculators that will predictablyseek to drive commodity markets higher."

They said a similar scenario played out in2007-08 when all commodities, led by crude oil,soared to "unjustified and unsustainablelevels."

Closing markets Wednesday, following theUSDA report, pushed corn and soybeans to two-year highs in Chicago Board of Trade.

Gerald Bange, chairman of the AgricultureDepartment's World Agricultural OutlookBoard, who recently spoke at the AmericanFarm Bureau Federation's national conventionin Atlanta, said that corn, soybean, wheat andcotton prices are at the highest levels in years,which implies there will be more crop acreagein 2011.

Bange said as much as 10 million more acrescould move into crop production this year.

He said high prices and very low stocks forcorn should mean more corn acreage in 2011,but Bange said indicators right now are actu-ally pointing to more soybean acres.

"As farmers look to the future, they may belooking to soybeans," Bange said. "Thatintrigues us a little bit because I think every-body is of the opinion that corn would be thefavored crop as we move into 2011."

And as fuel prices continue to climb, Bangesaid, one factor driving greater prospects forsoybeans may be high fertilizer costs associatedwith corn production as well as greater weatherrisks for corn production.

Recently, Al Dutcher, state climatologist atthe University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said fore-casts will vary going into spring plantingdepending on if the La Niña event continuesthrough summer and into next year.

He said if the state doesn't experience heavyspring rains, it may not be able to make soilmoisture up. Dutcher said March is important.If March is dry, the state will need exceptionalmoisture to develop into April and have thatcarry through to summer.

"Of course, anytime we talk about excessspring moisture, we talk planting delays,"Dutcher said.

However, planting delays shouldn't be aproblem this year as the La Niña system typi-cally brings cool and dry conditions duringFebruary through late April.

For other Nebraska crops last year, USDAreported:

• Sorghum for grain production in 2010 isestimated at 6.8 million bushels, down 48percent from last year. Yield, at 90 bushels peracre, is down 3 bushels from 2009. Areaharvested for grain was 75,000 acres, down65,000 acres from a year ago and the lowestsorghum for grain acreage since 1947.

• Hay production totaled 6.35 million tons,up 2 percent from the previous year. Areaharvested is 2.69 million acres, virtuallyunchanged from 2009. The average yield, at2.36 tons per acre, is up a half ton per acre fromlast year.

• Alfalfa production is up 1 percent from ayear ago and all other hay production is up 3percent.

By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub

Work on two water augmentation projects inKearney County will begin as soon as weatherallows.

The Tri-Basin Natural Resources DistrictBoard of Directors approved a bid fromHoldrege Well Service, the low bid of threeconsidered Tuesday, for work at the first ofthree sites along North Dry Creek southwest ofKearney that are part of a project to augmentPlatte River flows with groundwater.

Tri-Basin General Manager John Thorburnsaid this morning that one 1,200-gallon-per-minute well likely will be installed at the siteclosest to the river, along V Road between 23and 24 roads.

It's more likely that multiple wells will bedrilled at the other two sites for whichlandowner agreements still are being acquired.

Groundwater from all the sites will beconveyed in North Dry Creek to the river to

help meet Tri-Basin's responsibilities to offsetriver depletions in the fully appropriated partof the basin, where water use and supply mustbe in balance. Thorburn said the entire projectis estimated to cost $450,000.

He hopes drilling of the first well can begin inFebruary or March.

Meanwhile, engineers from Olsson Associateswill soon begin their assessments of a site insoutheast Kearney County for a groundwateraugmentation project. The area is abouthalfway between Minden and Norman on thenorth side of Highway 74.

The goal is to hold water in a small reservoirand allow seepage to recharge groundwaterlevels that have been declining in May andGrant townships.

It's one of two NRD areas of concern forgroundwater depletions. The other is in UnionTownship in southern Gosper County.

Thorburn, who gave a Power Point presenta-tion on NRD groundwater levels Tuesday, said

the Gosper County area has "really goodrebounds" toward a goal of restoring levels tothe 1981-1985 baseline.

Union Township is the only area in Tri-Basinnow under irrigation pumping allocations of 27inches over three years. The 2011 crop seasonwill be the third year.

Thorburn said that if it's determined thatgroundwater levels have returned to the base-line, the allocations could be dropped. "It lookslike it's pretty close," he added.

The eastern Kearney County townshipsaren't recovering as quickly, he said, so studiesto identify a suitable groundwater rechargesite will proceed.

By Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

Drought in Russia or floods of historic propor-tions in Australia make national headlines.Everyone knows these two situations willimpact the global marketplace. What mostpeople don't hear about is the fight for acresthat result in higher prices for crops such ascorn, soybean and maybe, dry edible beans.

But first, producers have to retain the 1.5million acres used to grow the beans. With highprices for corn, soybeans and wheat, farmersare looking for more acres to put into thosecrops. If the price for dry beans would remainat $30 or better, no one would considerswitching. But with $6 corn and $12 soybeans,and dry beans down around $20, those acresare apt to be put into another rotation.

"They want our 1.5 million acres," said PaulBurgener, ag economics analyst at theUniversity of Nebraska Panhandle Researchand Extension Center. "Those other crops aregoing to be a challenge as we go forward thisspring."

Add to that the weak global economy, and theoutlook for beans dims. Everyone knows thatdry beans are a good source of cheap protein,but if the poor nations don't have financialresources, they look elsewhere for less expen-sive sources.

Burgener said a big 2010 bean crop is in theelevator, but it wasn't that much greater thanprior years. In fact, he said, it just went back to2007-2008 production levels. The 2009 crop wasshort, so there is no significant excess outthere.

"If they are $30, you'll grow the beans. If notthose acres are liable to go elsewhere,"

Burgener told participants in the annual DryBean Day at Mitchell Tuesday afternoon.

Dr. Gary Hergert, soils specialist at theresearch center, told the audience that fertil-izer prices are inching their way back up, buthe doesn't expect a spike like happened in2007. According to Hergert, the cost of naturalgas is what drives the price of fertilizer, not thecost of energy. He said fertilizer is down 20percent from this time last year, but he expectsit to level off.

Hergert said producers also need to belooking at genetic and agronomic progress.Corn yields have considerably over the past 30years. Dry beans have improved, also, but moreneeds to be done. Those resuls can be signifi-cant when producers are trying to grow more onthe same or fewer acres.

With all of these hurdles to contend with, JeffBradshaw, entomologist at the Panhandlecenter, reported that the grasshopper outlookfor 2011 is not good. Last year's outbreak wasslowed somewhat because of a cool, wet spring.Those conditions were good for growing forage,but increased the mortality rate of thegrasshoppers. Then it dried out, and thehoppers increased.

"The good thing is that there was enoughgood grass for the cattle and the grasshoppers,"Bradshaw said. "But after the grass was gone,they moved into the crops. It was the first timeI had seen corn stalks clipped by hoppers." Headded that a woman in south Sioux County hadto leave her home because the grasshopperswere so thick. They had munched off the bromegrass in the field near her home, and thenattacked the forage in her yard.

A map produced by the Animal and PlantHealth Inspection Service (APHIS) shows a

similar situation as for 2011, if not worse,Bradshaw said. "The Panhandle is at a highrisk, and with this forecast for a near normalweather pattern, it's not looking good."

Bradshaw said he has research going in hislab regarding dry beans and insects, which hewill report on later.

Dry bean growers also heard from Dr. BobWilson, weed specialist at the PanhandleResearch and Extension Center. He reported ona study with dry beans planted into cornstubble, which included single disking, doubledisking, and no till. He reminded farmers thatit has been proven that tillage stimulatesgermination of weed seeds. His project substan-tiated that theory. In this first year's results,Wilson said there was a good indication that notill produced a better stand, with lower weeddensity, less injury and higher yield. Thetillage methods tended to impact differentweeds, as well.

"The main thing is to determine when toapply the herbicide," Wilson cautioned. Henoted that there are few pre-emerge labeledherbicides, and farmers might want to followup with a post emerge herbicide, depending onwhich weeds they control.

According to Wilson, producers are movingfrom the pre-plant herbicides to the post plantherbicides. That is because they are shiftingfrom traditional tillage practices to no till.

During the day, other reports were given onplanting dry beans into stubble by John Smith,machinery systems engineer, and varietaldevelopment, by Dr. Carlos Urrea.

An engineering study for the RepublicanRiver Basin Coalition found that three sitesevaluated could provide water to augment riverflows, but at a huge cost.

The bill for construction and other costswould be tens of millions of dollars.

At Thursday's Lower Republican NaturalResources District board meeting in Alma,Chris Miller of Miller & Associates of Kearneyreviewed the infrastructure, costs and rivercredits involved in projects near Farnam,Upland and Hastings.

The Farnam and Upland sites would makeuse of existing irrigation wells to pump groundwater transported by pipelines or pipelines andcreeks to the Republican River.

Water sources at Hastings could be a powerplant's cooling towers or a federal cleanupproject at the old ordnance plant site.

Miller said the Hastings project would be theleast costly, at $24.5 million-$27.5 million.However, it would have the smallest volume ofwater delivered to the river, at 5,646 acre-feet,and the highest cost per acre-foot in annualdebt payments, at $563-$631.

The Farnam proposal would involve a fullpipeline of 51.2 miles or a 32-mile pipeline anduse of Muddy Creek. Land acquisition andconstruction costs could range from $24.2million-$46.9 million, with 11,291 a-f of waterdelivered to the river.

Depending on land costs, the least costlyoption would be using wells east of Upland anda 31.5-mile pipeline or 22-mile pipeline andThompson Creek. The river delivery is esti-mated at 10,323 a-f.

If the creek is used, the cost range is $17.6million-$25.1 million. If a full pipeline is used,the cost could top $31.4 million.

There also would be annual operating costs toconsider for any project, Miller said, and noneof the data collected thus far has been runthrough Republican River Compact compliancecomputer models.

Now, officials of the Upper, Middle and LowerRepublican NRDs must decide whether toproceed with the next round of studies.

Miller said that could involve gatheringcomputer model data from monitoring wells atthe Farnam and Upland sites to better definepotential effects of pumping wells around theclock at times. He estimated the cost ofinstalling 19 observation wells and datarecords at around $100,000.

URNRD General Manager Jasper Fanningand LRNRD General Manager Mike Clementssaid there is grant money in hand to pay 80percent of the study costs, leaving the balanceto divide between the three NRDs.

LRNRD officials withdrew that district fromthe coalition, but they agreed to continue as apartner for ongoing studies.

"There's no silver bullet here," Fanning saidabout resolving the basin's streamflow deple-tion and compact compliance issues, so solu-

tions will require a combination of riveraugmentation projects, irrigation allocationsand retiring irrigated acres.

The LRNRD directors tabled further discus-sion of Miller's report.

Meanwhile, they heard updates on grants tofund other potential conservation and stream-flow enhancement projects.

LRNRD grant writer Pat Underwood saidshe's working on an application for aWaterSMART grant from the federal Bureau ofReclamation that could be used to clean inva-sive vegetation from river tributaries.

The money also could help with a proposedproject to work with Frenchman-CambridgeIrrigation District officials to install infra-structures to allow irrigators to switch fromgroundwater to surface water in times of higherriver flows.

Underwood also has submitted a pre-proposalto the Natural Resources Conservation Servicefor a grant that could allow the LRNRD to useeasements as another way to retire irrigatedacres. She and the board's ExecutiveCommittee will work on project details thatwill be required if the proposal is accepted for afull application due by March 4.

Jerry Kovarik of the Harlan County NRCSoffice said Agricultural Water EnhancementProgram-funded per-acre incentives forfarmers willing to retire irrigated acres are setto increase from $112 to $130 for a temporaryswitch to dryland and from $173 to $190 for apermanent retirement.

Tears welled up in their eyes as theywatched a number of their Hereford heifersstrike out on a great adventure. Their destina-tion was Akmola Oblast, Kazakhstan, on theother side of the world. The George Ochsnerextended family sold 30 registered Angus andfour registered Hereford heifers last fall, thatare now integrated into a program of feedlotsand cow/calf operations.

The amazing trip was inspired by a visit toKazakhstan, a former Soviet republic, byNorth Dakota Lt. Gov. Jack Dalrymple a fewyears ago. According to Dudley Booth,Torrington area livestock producer, he wascontacted by one of the North Dakota organ-izers looking for cattle that were raised in aclimate similar to that in Kazakhstan.

Booth contacted local ranchers to gather ashipment from Goshen County. Other localfamilies participating in the unique operationwere Don Wilkes -- 16 head, Doug BoothFamily Angus -- 20 head, and Webo Angus ofLusk -- 9 head. More animals were purchasedfrom producers in other areas of Wyoming.Prior to departure from Torrington, the heiferswere vaccinated and given a clean bill ofhealth. The local animals were brought toTorrington Livestock Markets, then trans-ported by Huckfeldt Trucking to a Mandan,N.D., feedlot in the first stage of their journey.There they were placed in quarantine for 21days.

The animals were paid for before they leftthe U.S. ranches. That shifted the burden ofloss onto the buyers. By the time expenseswere paid, Booth said the deal was not amoney-maker.

"It was a one-time deal," Booth said. "Theyaren't going to come back and buy more. Thesewere a very small percentage of the total theyare putting together over there."

The local cattle were loaded into crates atHector International Airport, Fargo, N.D., onNov. 2. They left at 2 a.m. on their 22-hourflight over the top of the world to Kazakhstan.There, the heifers were loaded into trailers fora three-hour trip to their destination nearAkmola Oblast, Kazakhstan. U.S. shipmentsare expected to total 500 head for the project.The animals are shipped three per crate, withclose to 200 crates in each loaded 747 jet.

To insure the best care possible, JoeSkavdahl, a veterinarian from Harrison, Neb.,and Mike Slattery, an Idianola, Neb., rancher,were hired for the project. Skavdahl, whosigned up for a one-year tour of duty with theproject, accompanied the flights. They willoversee care for the cattle,

The overall project, initiated by Global BeefConsultants of North Dakota, is expected toplace 2,040 head in Kazakhstan over the next10 years. It will amount to a $50 million deal.The first flight took place Oct. 12. Through2011 and 2012, KazBeef, the Kazakhstan halfof the project, is going to construct another 15feeding sites in Kazakhstan to enable theCentral Asian republic to export meats fromthe augmented herds as quickly as possible.Russia and China, which border the country,as expected to be major importers of theimproved beef.

Body condition at calving for spring-calvingcows has a major impact on reproductiveperformance during the next breeding season.Cows and first-calf-females in good body condi-tion at calving will resume estrous cycles andbreed early in the breeding season. How cowsare managed late in the grazing season willhave a major impact on their body condition asthey enter winter.

A production activity that has a major drag onhow nutrients are partitioned in the beef cow islactation. Cows have a nutrient need for lacta-tion. Until the diet meets, and then exceedsthat requirement, nutrients will not be parti-tioned off to other activities, such as replen-ishing body energy reserves.

The balance between nutrient resourcesavailable to the cow and level of milk produc-tion is critical. Too much milk matched withmedium to low quality feed resources results ina cow herd that must play catch-up in regard tobody condition.

Weaning time can be the best time for feedresources and milk-producing ability for maturecows to be matched in an ideal productionsystem. Cows would be a little thin, but oncethe calves are weaned and that nutrientdemand for lactation is removed, after about 45days post-weaning cows begin to gain back bodycondition.

Also in this production system, cows would bein BCS 5 going into the winter without anysupplementation. However, if weaning occurs

Live cattle trade has been lightly lower thisweek due to long profit taking. The weekly netchange is $.55 lower on the April contract.Some light cash trade was seen at $107 in KS onWednesday; offers remain at $110 and $175.Cutout values were mixed at midweek. Choicefinished 90 lower at 171.91 and select was 1.28higher at 170.17. The tight choice-select spreadis an illustration the feedlots are current andthe recent weather has had an affect. Demandshould struggle to sustain the bullish pace with

this big jump in cutout values. On the chart weare holding above support levels, but theupward momentum has stalled the past severalsessions. The support levels are the 10-day and20-day moving averages which are at 112.57and 111.87 on April and 108.25 and 107.80 onthe February Live Cattle. Hedgers call withquestions.

Lean hog trade was higher this past week due to con-tinued fund and chart buying. The weekly net change is$1.12 higher on the April contract. The Iowa base pricewas down a quarter today at $74 which limited upside inthe futures. The February contract, at $80 is pricing-in afurther rise in cash as we move through the next month.If we cannot keep the February contract around or above$80 it may be difficult to justify further premium in theApril and June contracts to the current cash market.Seasonally, supplies should begin to deteriorate, but hogcarcass weights are still averaging 6 pounds heavierthan this time last year. The trade is optimistic theexport sector will help support the record prices; thedioxin scare in Germany last week may help support USpork exports as end users may be hesitant to purchaseEU pork in the wake of that incident. Hedgers call withquestions.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack todayannounced that an additional $8 million isavailable to create or expand existing publicaccess programs or provide incentives toincrease access to hunting and fishing and toimprove wildlife habitat on enrolled lands. Thefunding is being provided through theVoluntary Public Access and Habitat IncentiveProgram (VPA-HIP).

"The Obama Administration is committed toenhancing hunting, fishing and outdoor oppor-tunities, and this program will help partici-pating landowners conserve the environmentwhile increasing opportunities for hunting,

fishing and other wildlife-dependent recre-ation,” said Vilsack.

The funding is authorized under the 2008Farm Bill. Approximately $11.75 million ofVPA-HIP funds were awarded to 17 states in2010.

Twenty-six states have public accessprograms for hunting, fishing and other relatedactivities. These programs provide rentalpayments and other incentives, such as tech-nical or conservation services to landownerswho, in return, allow public hunting, fishing orother compatible recreational activities ontheir land.

States and tribal governments can submitVPA-HIP applications for 2011 funding throughthe federal government's grants portal -www.grants.gov to the Farm Service Agency(FSA) for consideration. Funding will beawarded to those state and tribal governmentswhose proposals are accepted by FSA. Stateswith approved applications and fundingawarded in 2010 associated with multi-yearVPA-HIP proposals do not need to re-submitrequest for application in 2011.

USDA Announces Funding To Improve Public Access to RecreationOpportunities and Restore Wildlife Habitat

The Natural Resources Conservation Service(NRCS) has announced a sign-up deadline ofMarch 4, 2011, for a conservation initiativeavailable specifically to organic farmers.Through the Organic Initiative, NRCS willprovide funding to help organic producers andthose transitioning to organic productionimplement resource conservation practices ontheir agricultural operations. Interestedparticipants may sign-up at any time, butapplications received after March 4 will beconsidered in the next funding allocation.

Funding for the Organic Initiative is beingmade available by the Natural ResourcesConservation Service as part of theEnvironmental Quality Incentives Program(EQIP). EQIP offers financial and technicalassistance to help eligible producers install orimplement conservation practices on eligibleagricultural land.

This is the third year of the OrganicInitiative. In 2010, NRCS obligated $24million nationally with nearly $1 million goingto Nebraska producers.

For this current sign-up, $1.5 million is avail-able for Nebraska producers to plan and imple-ment conservation practices that addressnatural resource concerns in ways that areconsistent with organic production. Organicproducers may use the funding to plant covercrops, establish integrated pest managementplans, or implement nutrient managementsystems. Several additional conservation prac-tice options are available. NRCS employeeswill work with producers to design a conserva-tion plan that will work best for their opera-tion.

Eligible producers include those certifiedthrough USDA's National Organic Program,those transitioning to certified organic produc-

tion, and those who meet organic standards butare exempt from certification because theirgross annual organic sales are less than$5,000.

Under Organic Initiative contracts, producersare paid a portion of the cost for the organicconservation measures they implement.Beginning, limited resource, and socially disad-vantaged producers are paid a higher rate. Theprogram provides up to $20,000 per year perperson or legal entity, with a maximum total of$80,000 over six years.

Producers interested in applying for OrganicInitiative funding should visit their local NRCSService Center. More information is availableat http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/eqip/organic/index.html.

PROFIT TIPS: MANAGE ANIMALS’ BODY CONDITION BY TIMING WEANINGContinued from page 16

late in the grazing season for spring-calvingcows and the grass resources are decreasingrapidly such that quality is low, then gainingback body condition will be a challenge withoutsome supplementation.

The challenge is spring-calving first-calf-cows and managing body condition of thisgroup without a lot of supplementation. Thesefemales are the ones that are likely to be thinin the fall at weaning. Body condition is criticalfor this group of females and it impacts theirability to stay in the cow herd. Because theyhave not reached maturity, a smaller rumen isavailable compared to mature cows. This is themajor reason the quality of the diet is so impor-tant. Warm-season pasture quality decreasesas the season changes from summer into fall.From a young-cow management perspective,this is a critical time of the year to managecondition.

The Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratoryconducted an experiment to look at the effect of

weaning date of March-born calves on cow bodycondition score change. The primary grassresource at this location is warm-season nativepasture where the nutrient quality peaks inlate May and early June and begins to declinerapidly in August. They began weaning theMarch-born calves in mid-August and weanedevery two weeks until the end of November. Thestudy showed that for every two weeks thatweaning is delayed beyond Aug. 18, there is 0.1of a unit decrease in BCS.

In addition to the effect of weaning date oncow body condition, the data in this sameexperiment suggest that calf weight increasedup until Oct. 13 at the same time that cow BCSdecreased. After Oct. 13, calf gain was minimalas cow BCS continued to decrease. Knowingthis information can allow management of BCSof young, lactating females and more closelypredict the impact of delaying weaning. Insome management systems, it may be time inthe grazing season that gets condition back on

them using the grass resource instead ofwaiting later in the grazing season whensupplementation is likely to be needed.

One management technique theorizes that toput condition back on young females andreduce the stress on the calf, one should weanthe calf for a period of time to "dry up" the damthen reintroduce the calf to its dam. This tech-nique, if successful, would reduce the stress onthe calf, because it is back with its non-lactating dam, and allows the cow to gain backbody condition as she is no longer lactating.

To use this management technique, calveswould need to be weaned from their dam for atleast 30 days for the dam "dry up" before damand calf can be co-mingled.
