The U.S. Department ofAgriculture lowered the amount ofcorn stocks on hand to 675 millionbushels on February 9th, due toincreases in estimates for ethanoluse and sweetner/starch use.

While the USDA report will be afactor for rising corn prices, U.S.Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said

ethanol critics will be sure toblame the use of corn for ethanolas the problem.

But, he said, weather problemsaround the globe are creatingshortages and impacting risingcommodity prices, such as theongoing drought in China.

Recently, the United NationsFood and Agriculture Organizationissued a special alert on China,

calling the country's drought a"potentially serious problem."

According to FAO, the drought inChina has been going on for fourmonths and has impacted 35percent of the country's wheatcrop. FAO said 2.57 million peopleand 2.79 million head of livestockhave faced shortages of drinkingwater.

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

After a frigid firstweek of February, thesecond full week of themonth brought thewarmest stretch ofweather that state hasseen since earlyNovember 2010. Theonly major moistureevent occurred on 1/31when 4-8 inches ofsnowfall was reportedacross southwesternNebraska. The

remainder of the state reported anywhere fromtrace amounts up to several inches of dry, fluffysnow. High winds easily moved the snow andcreated visibility problems, but the big story washigh temperatures struggling into the singledigits and lows in the -15 F to -25 F across westernNebraska. All was forgotten by 2/13, when 60's tolow 70's were common across the state and arepeat performance was experienced during the

2/16-2/17 time frame and only a few snow banksremained, for all but extreme northeasternNebraska. The top 4-6 inches of soils had thawedas of 2/17, but frost still remained deeper in theprofile.

Week One Forecast, 2/19 - 2/25: Two significantstorm systems will move through the western U.S.and into the central Plains region during this firstforecast period. The first system is expected tobegin impacting Nebraska during the late eveninghours of 2/19 with the primary precipitation eventslated for 2/20. Some accumulating snowfall couldoccur over the northern ½ of the state, but at thispoint the majority of moisture will be rain. Astronger system is projected to move into theregion on 2/23 with heavy snowfall possible acrossthe western ½ of the state. Models diverge on theextent of cold air associated with this system, butif enough cold materializes, the entire state couldsee significant snowfall. Total liquid equivalentmoisture with this two systems is forecasted torange from 0.25 inches west to an inch southeast.A weaker wave is projected to move across

northern Kansas on 2/25 bringing a chance forrain and/or snow to the southern half of the state.Highs temperatures: 2/19 (upper 40's NW - upper50's SE), 2/20 (mid 30's NW - upper 40's SE), 2/21(upper 30's N - upper 40's S), 2/22 (upper 30's N -mid 50's S), 2/23 (upper 20's NW - mid 40's SE),2/24 (mid 20's N - mid 30's S), 2/25 (mid 20's NE -low 40's SW)

Week Two Forecast, 2/26 - 3/5: Weather modelsindicate that high pressure will dominate the firsthalf of the forecast period, with another stormsystem ejecting out of the western U.S. by 3/3.Current temperature projection indicate a rainevent, but if temperatures are cold enough,another round of heavy snow could be in store fornorthern Nebraska. High temperatures: 2/26(mid 30's NE - mid 40's SW), 2/27 (mid 40's N - mid50's S), 2/28 (low 50's N - upper 50's S), 3/1 (low50's N - upper 50's S), 3/2 (low 40's N - low 50's S),3/3 (low 40's N - low 50's S), 3/4 (mid 30's N - mid40's S)

A diet high in folate is important for everyone.Folate is one of the B vitamins and is found natu-rally in leafy vegetables such as spinach,collards, lettuce and cabbage and in some fruitssuch as oranges.

Women of child-bearing age should especiallybe concerned about receiving enough folatebecause it helps prevent neural tube birthdefects. Folate is important for spinal cord devel-opment, which occurs in the first four weeks ofdevelopment. Many women may not be gettingenough folate because of the foods they eat.

However, folate is for more than women ofchild-bearing age. Some research shows folatecan prevent heart disease and cancer.

There are three ways to receive folate in yourdiet. Eat the fortified foods, eat foods that arenaturally high in folate or take vitamin supple-ments with folate.

Eating a well-balanced diet is one way toreceive the needed nutrient. The USDAMyPyramid recommends eating nine servings offruits and vegetables daily. On average,Americans eat only two or three servings of fruitsand vegetables per day. However, folate intakehas increased in American diets due to fortifica-tion in cereals and pastas.

Folate Recommended For All

As temperatures drop, space heater use rises.Fuel, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, electricityand heat all create safety concerns that requirespecial precautions when using space heaters.

Fuel-burning space heaters should not be usedindoors. If you do operate a heater inside, alwaysinstall a carbon monoxide detector. Carbonmonoxide is a deadly, odorless, colorless gas thatis produced whenever a fuel is burned. Spaceheaters also require an adequate supply ofcombustion air. Oxygen always is consumedwhen any fuel is burned and must be replaced.

Space heaters also need extra caution iftoddlers and young children are in the house.

The outside surfaces may be hot. Keep spaceheaters away from flammable materials. Manyspace heaters are taller than they are wide,making them easy to tip over.

Refueling space heaters can be dangerous.Space heaters should be allowed to cool down

before being refilled. Always shut off and cooldown any liquid or gas-fueled space heater beforefuel containers are replaced or filled. A glowinghot element in the heater will easily ignite liquidfuel or vapors.

Electric space heaters also may be dangerous. Awell-designed electric space heater won’t allowthe electrical element to come in contact withcombustible materials. However, be cautious andstill keep combustible materials away. Newerunits have automatic shut-off features if thetemperature is too high or if the heater is tippedover. Old or damaged space heaters may giveelectrical shocks or cause accidental burns fromsurfaces that get too hot.

Rather than use a space heater to warm a chillyroom, low-cost home improvements really couldbe the solution. Improve the weather stripping ofwindows and doors. Covering windows with aplastic film is also a safer and a more cost-effec-tive way to warm a room.

Space Heater Cautions

It is easy to not think about what we cannotimmediately see with our own eyes. Testing soilin the garden and the landscape can help answera number of questions why gardens thrive orstruggle each growing season. Now is the time toconsider soil testing to prepare the garden andthe landscape for the growing season.

Properly taken soil tests can help gardenersunderstand the nutrient levels in the garden, andwhich nutrients need to be amended for the plantmaterial and garden crops that have or will beplanted in the future.

The major nutrients that impact plant growthand development; nitrogen, phosphorus, andpotassium, will be recorded on the basic soil testresults. Once gardeners receive this information,they can make informed decisions on how muchnutrients need to be applied for the growingseason, depending on the plants in the landscapeor the garden.

Another item that needs to be tested forgardens and landscapes in western Nebraska isthe soil pH. Soil pH indicates how acidic or alka-line the soil is. In most cases, landscape andgarden soil pH here is alkaline, often highenough to not allow plant roots to absorb iron,copper, and other micronutrients that are presentin the soil.

Left untreated, many landscape and gardenplants in alkaline soils will not properly develop,exhibit diminished quality, and many times diefrom the nutrient deficiencies. Plant pH prefer-ence widely ranges, prompting gardeners toselect plant material that can adapt to the pHlevels in this part of Nebraska, or make theneeded soil amendments to allow plants to growto their full potential.

Here are some simple tips that help gardenerstake soil test samples, and learn how to receiveassistance on recommendations for individualgarden and landscape situations.

• First, find a clean bucket to collect thesoil that will be used for the sample that will betested.

• Second, select the area that needs to betested. This can be a specific area of a garden, aflower bed, or section of the lawn, or an areaaround tree and shrub plantings.

• Third, find a clean spade with all foreignmatter removed from the blade to collect samples.Soil testing probes can also be checked out fromthe local University of Nebraska-LincolnExtension Office as well.

• Fourth, collect soil samples that are eightto 10 inches deep, using the spade or soil testingprobe from 10 to 12 random places in the areathat is going to be tested, and place in the cleanbucket.

• Fifth, thoroughly mix all the soil samplestogether as much as possible. Fill a re-sealablesandwich bag or a soil testing bag with the thor-oughly mixed soil.

• Six, label the bag with your name,address, and indicate whether the soil came froma garden, lawn, flower bed, tree planting area, orother location.

• Seventh, contact your local University ofNebraska-Lincoln Extension Office to discusswhich soil tests are appropriate for the individualgardening or landscaping situation. The staffwill be able to show which soil testing labs areavailable to handle and calculate the soil testresults.

• As soon as the soil tests return, scheduletime with a University of Nebraska-LincolnExtension staff member to review the test resultsand receive recommendations for the growingneeds of the garden or landscape.

If you have any questions about garden andlandscape soil testing, please contact me atdlott2@unl.edu, by calling (308) 532-2683, or bycontact your local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Office.

C o m m u n i t i e s o f S t r a n g e r sby Lee Pitts

Newspapers tell us the news, they aren’tsupposed to be in the news. Sadly, that’sthe case as I read more and more punditspredicting the end of newsprint. Manynewspapers, it seems, won’t even be aroundto carry their own obituaries.

Supposedly we’re going to do all ourreading on our cell phones and electronictablets and companies like Google andNokia are already dancing on the graves ofthe newsprint dinosaurs. I can easily dowithout television but I can’t even begin toimagine breakfast without a newspaper. Itpains me to see once big city great dailynewspapers, the grand dames ofpublishing, shrinking in size and status.But before we relegate all newspapers tothe scrap heap of history I’d suggest weconsider the many things that newspaperscan do that the Internet can’t, and I’m nottalking about swatting flies, lightingkindling or lining the bird cage. ( Whenyou’re face has been pooped on by a para-keet you know you’ve arrived as a syndi-cated columnist.)

There was never a lot of extra cash layingaround our house but my mom alwaysfound the money to subscribe to the localpaper. My mother was a smart woman andshe knew that newspapers kept her chil-dren and her country better educated andfree. She also knew that our community

newspaper was what gave us a sense ofcommunity. Today we hear about Facebookand other Internet “communities”, but theyare communities of strangers. “Friends”who’ve never met.

Readers of a community newspaper knoweach other. Our local newspaper keeps usinformed of what is going on, who died, whoneeds our help and where to shop. I candistinctly remember the first time I evergot my picture in the Santa Paula DailyChronicle. I thought what greater accom-plishment could there possibly be? Mygrandmother disseminated that clippingfar and wide.

The best writing I’ve ever read was innewspapers. Don’t forget, Mark Twain gothis start writing for the TerritorialEnterprise newspaper. I grew up reading asportswriter named Jim Murray and Ibelieve he’s the reason I’m a writer today.

When you write for a newspaper you’dbetter get your facts straight or you’ll hearabout it. That’s not so with the Internet. Ilearned real quick not to trust it as asource. Writers for newspapers pay theirdues and must prove they can write,whereas all a person has to do on theInternet to become a writer is start “blog-ging.” Most of it isn’t worth the paper it’sNOT written on. A newspaper makes moneyby hiring competent reporters with a nose

for news and then selling that news to folkswith a need to know. Are we really going totrade that for gangs of Internet bloggers?

My favorite parts of any newspaper arethe letters to the editor and the obituaries.I love it that anyone with a bone to pick oran ax to grind can get their name in thepaper by writing a letter to the editor. Beadvised though, “It’s never smart to get intoa feud with someone who buys ink by thebarrel.” That old bromide reminds me of thefellow who, years ago, wrote to a small towneditor that the only use for his newspaperwas as a replacement for the corn cobs inhis outhouse. To which the editor replied,“Keep doing that and your behind will knowmore than your head ever will.”

That’s exactly the way I feel aboutInternet news.

I’ll admit I’m partial to newspapersbecause I voraciously read them and deliv-ered them on a bicycle as a child growingup. They kept me fiscally and physically fit.Sure, I admit that newspapers do occasion-ally get all wet in the rain, leave ink onyour fingers and that I-Pad news mightsave trees. But life without newspapers? Ihope I’m not around when the only newsyou can read is on some tiny cell phonescreen, for I believe that if communitynewspapers do die, so too will the realcommunities they serve.

President Reagan understood the greatness ofour nation lies in its people - not an overbearinggovernment. He knew the hard work, resilience,and optimism of Americans would overcome anychallenge we face.

America experiences similar challenges today aswe did when President Reagan served: out-of-control spending, high unemployment, economicuncertainty, and international conflict. However,as President Reagan famously declared, “govern-ment is not the solution to the problem, govern-ment is the problem.”

Last week, the House of Representatives took animportant step to undo the problems governmenthas created. The House passed a resolution toidentify and eliminate onerous government regu-lations which are stifling job creation andeconomic growth, and I was proud to support it.

As I travel across Nebraska’s Third District, Ihear repeatedly about the uncertain economicclimate we face. Much of this uncertainty is

created by costly, unnecessary regulatory burdenswhich prevent small businesses from hiringemployees, expanding product lines, or investingin new technologies.

The Small Business Administration issued areport in September 2010 which estimated theaverage small business with less than 20employees faces a cost of $10,585 in federal regu-lations each year per worker they employ. Thesame report tallied total regulatory costs to be$1.75 trillion annually, nearly twice as much as allindividual income taxes collected last year.

Job-crushing regulations are at an unprece-dented high. For too long, Congress has failed toimplement legislative oversight and allowed agen-cies to ignore its Constitutional authority.Particularly, legislation such as the health careoverhaul and sweeping financial reform empow-ered executive branch bureaucrats to legislate likenever before. Within nine months of ObamaCare’spassage, for example, the administration added6,123 pages of regulations. To put that figure incontext, those pages would stretch the length ofnearly 19 football fields!

By contrast, President Reagan actively cut thesize and scope of government regulation. Forexample, before Reagan assumed office federalregulations required consumers to use only equip-ment provided by their telephone service provider.

As a result, consumers had little or no choice inthe products they used. The ReaganAdministration proceeded to eliminate unreason-able telecommunications regulations and break upthe American Telephone and Telegraph Company(AT&T). In doing so, consumers were allowed tomake choices which best meet their needs, notwhich the government thought best.

Moving forward, we must prevent federal agen-cies from enacting overly burdensome regulationson the American people, which is why I am co-sponsoring the Regulations from the Executive inNeed of Scrutiny Act, or the REINS Act. TheREINS Act requires Congress to affirmativelyapprove any new major rule proposed by the exec-utive branch. Passing this legislation wouldprovide much needed accountability and restraintin an era of out-of-control government.

As we continue working to solve the challengeswe face, it is critical we continue championingsolutions which reduce the size of government,promote free enterprise and empower individuals,just as President Reagan did. He knew these time-less ideals would ensure our nation remains a“shining city on a hill.” I am confident these samefoundations, which to succeed rely on the indi-vidual instead of the government, will build astronger America in the 21st Century.

A Roadmap to Fiscal Responsibilityby Senator Mike Johanns

The President covered many topics in his Stateof the Union address, but he said little about theone thing most in the room and many acrossNebraska were waiting to hear: a plan to put thefederal government back on a fiscally responsibleand sustainable path. I found it disheartening thatthe speech, so full of idealistic optimism, largelyignored our very real and looming financialpredicament. It was a missed opportunity to beginaddressing a problem that many on both sides ofthe aisle in Washington are ready to face.Meanwhile, It's past time to start taking oureconomic stagnation and debt problems seriously.

This reality was underlined when the nonpar-tisan Congressional Budget Office released itsannual budget report. The report projects ourannual deficit for Fiscal Year 2011 will be $1.5 tril-lion, the largest in the history of our country.Reckless federal spending continues to dig usfurther into a hole of debt already alarmingly

deep. It's simply unsustainable, and we riskserious consequences by continuing to pass thebuck to future generations. Action must be takenbefore it's too late.

This is why I signed on as a co-sponsor to severalbills to rein in spending. Together, these bills forma strong starting point from which we can bringdown the debt and get our fiscal house in order. Wemust reverse the wild increases of the past twoyears. Curtailing and bringing down spending willbe like doing a U-turn in an aircraft carrier: bringit to a halt in a controlled manner, and then get itgoing in the right direction.

The array of bills I've signed onto would bringreal leadership and solutions to start getting usout of our fiscal mess. One of these, a BalancedBudget Amendment, would prohibit Congress frompassing tax increases or deficit spending unlessoverruled by a two-thirds majority. Another wouldenable the President to fast-track spending cuts to

Congress, similar to a line item veto. Two morewould repeal the automatic pay raise for Membersof Congress and require all unused money fromSenate office accounts to be used to help pay downthe national debt. Lastly, yet another would prior-itize paying off our debt by requiring the Treasuryto pay debt obligations first in the event the debtlimit is breached. I also support returning our non-security spending to levels prior to the stimulusand government bailouts.

These are all real changes toward a responsible,sustainable government. They open the discussionfor the larger, necessary decisions we're going tohave to make. The agenda I'm pursuing identifiesconcrete steps we can take to get our country backon track. Through these efforts and others likethem, it's my hope that we can start showing realleadership when it comes to fiscal responsibility.

With all the talk these days about strengtheningthe economy and creating jobs, Congress must notoverlook the agriculture sector. My top prioritiescontinue to be increasing opportunities for familyfarmers and ranchers to make a livable income offtheir lands and developing economic opportunitiesthough rural development and renewable energyto help small towns and communities thrive.

The 2008 Farm Bill certainly strengthened theseopportunities by ensuring the continuation of rela-tively strong commodity prices coupled with astrong and effective “safety net.”

The last Farm Bill also continued the RuralMicroenterprise Development Assistance Programto help small entrepreneurs in rural areas gainaccess to much needed credit that is often difficultto get.

Renewable Energy Equals JobsThe last Farm Bill’s Energy Title is working to

the production of renewable energy from farmsand ranches.

Most recently, USDA released $1.8 million fromthe Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels andthe Rural Energy for America Program, which ishelping ethanol plants modernize, allow local

landowners to develop wind projects, and allowproducers to harness the energy capabilities fromanimal waste.

These efforts have been bolstered by the EPA’srecent announcement that E15 is safe for automo-biles model year 2001 and newer, which willexpand consumer choice for homegrown fuels atthe pump.

While continued investment at our researchinstitutes, such as the Lincoln-based ARS centerwhere USDA is focused on establishing one of fiveRegional Biofuels Feedstocks Research andDemonstration Centers that will focus on waterresource management and bioenergy feedstockproduction will help our producers meet the worldsgrowing demands for food, feed, and fuel.

Moving forwardWe must work to continue these positive gains

made for agriculture and rural America andprotect it against a tough budgetary climate andonerous regulation. Most notably we mustcontinue to make every effort to ensure that theEPA does not handcuff American farmers.

I have grown increasingly concerned with theEPA’s efforts to regulate the dust on our county

roads and the application of pesticide and fertilizerto grow our crops. I’ll continue to work to makesure these unreasonable rules do not come tofruition.

Fair Trade – Free TradeI’m also committed to expanding economic

opportunities for farmers through agriculturaltrade. Free trade agreements and fair trade prac-tices are important to Nebraska. That’s why I pushthem in the Senate and why I pushed them asgovernor when Nebraska’s international exportsmore than doubled from $868 million to $2 billion-plus.

Hopefully, Congress and the Administration willact quickly on three pending bilateral free tradeagreements to with Colombia, Panama, and SouthKorea.

There are a number of challenges facingAmerican agriculture as we enter this new decade,but, speaking as a member of the SenateAgriculture Committee, I am confident that withcareful deliberation and thoughtful debate we cancraft agriculture policy that is good for improvingthe economy and creating jobs in both ruralAmerica and the nation as a whole.

Corn trade has been lower this week due to longprofit taking and spillover pressure from the beanmarket. The weekly net change is 16 lower on theMarch contract and December is down 26. Tradehas been active and volatile this week. EgyptianPresident Mubarak stepped down last Friday fol-lowing several weeks of political unrest there. Longliquidation in the crude market ensued which wasnoted for some early week pressure. The focus thisweek has been on the USDA Baseline projectionsand the outlook conference. Initial corn plantingswere reported on Tuesday at 92 million acres whichraised the USDA production estimate to 13.76 bil-lion bushels versus 12.44 billion last year. The USCensus bureau also reported this week that USethanol exports rose in December to a record high72 million gallons; India has emerged as a surprisebuyer. It is important to note that the baselinenumbers were complied in late November of lastyear; most traders would argue that they arealready out of date. Renewed concern also devel-oped in Mexico earlier this week regarding therecent freeze there; analysts estimate that approx-imately 1.2 million acres may have been damaged.The weekly export sales were reported at 1.03 mil-lion tons for the 10/11 year and 11/12 sales came inat 138,400 tons. Combined, they were above expec-tations. Corn should find a range near term; I seelittle reason for a big sell off and also believedemand will be damaged by any upside serge aboveour recent highs. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has been lower this week due tolong liquidation and spillover direction from therow crops. The weekly net change is 30 lower onthe March Chicago contract, KC is 43 lower, andMinneapolis is down 60 cents. Renewed con-cerns surrounding drought conditions in Chinashould limit further downside. Domestically, thewarmer temperatures this week will eliminatesnow cover and could have some wheat breakdormancy early. February is too early; a coldsnap could then cause some damage in late Febinto March. The USDA report baseline projec-tions were neutral for wheat this week. Initialwheat acres were reported at 57 million withproduction estimates at 2.12 billion bushels,down slightly from 2.20 billion this past year.Tensions have risen again in the Middle Eastafter it was reported Wednesday that twoIranian warships are expected to pass throughthe Suez Canal on Thursday. Little is expectedto develop from this, but it could influence out-side market trade near-term. Spread tradingwill continue to be a feature in the wheat mar-ket. Chicago has gained back over 30 cents onMinneapolis so far this week, but the spreadremains historically wide with Minneapolis still$1.20 over Chicago. The weekly export saleswere reported at 599,400 tons for the 10/11 yearand 11/12 sales came in at 126,900 tons.Combined, this was above expectations. Hedgerscall with questions.

Soybean trade has been lower this week due tolong liquidation. The weekly net change is 50 loweron the March bean contract. March meal is $13.80lower and oil is down 188 points. The USDA base-line projections for soybean acres were reported at78 million; production was estimated at 3.35 mil-lion which was up from 3.32 million last year.Baseline projections for biodiesel production areestimated to increase by 1 billion gallons this year.The NOPA January crush report was also releasedearly this week. Crush came in at 144.63 millionbushels which was slightly above expectations, butstill below December levels. Soy meal stocksincreased to 834,420 versus 599,145 in December.The report was mostly neutral, but selling interestintensified at midweek after the USDA announcedthe cancellation of 120 thousand tons to anunknown location. It was confirmed on Thursdaythat the source of the cancelation was in factChina. Market analysts speculate that they arepreparing for cheaper South American grains toemerge in the global export market. China’sCommerce Ministry also announced on Wednesdaythat they dropped their expected February soybeanimports to 3.14 million tons, which is down nearly40$ from January’s 5.14 million tons. This shouldcontinue to limit upside in the futures. As a resultof the Chinese cancellations, the weekly soybeansales were disappointing. 514,500 tons werereported for the 10/11 year and cancelations of118,100 tons were reported for the 11/12 year. Mealsales were within expectations at 107,700 tons andoil sales came in at 14,800 tons which was belowexpectations. Hedgers call with questions.

45th Annual -- Triumph of Ag ExpoFarm & Ranch Machinery Show

March 9 --- 9 am-4 pm March 10 --- 9 am-3 pmQwest Center Omaha – Omaha, Nebraska

Amy Schweitzer, The Grand Island Independent

People in agriculture need to work together tohelp consumers really understand where theirfood comes from.

That was the message that John Becherergave those attending the 11th annual NebraskaAgricultural Technologies Association (NeATA)Conference and Trade Show. Becherer, chiefexecutive officer of the United Soybean Boardand CEO Advisory Council of the recentlyformed U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance,addressed the conference Wednesday, February9th in Grand Island.

He explained that although there are plentyof agricultural organizations, each individuallydoesn't have enough funds to substantionallyimpact consumers, especially the high concen-tration of people on the east and west coasts,and efforts have been fragmented.

Becherer said the concept behind U.S.Farmers and Ranchers Alliance is that ifeveryone works together and pools theirresources, they can get further in influencingconsumers and policymakers.

Some of the 24 ag organizations that havebought into the new U.S. Farmers andRanchers Alliance are the American Egg Board,American Farm Bureau Federation, AmericanNational CattleWomen, American SheepIndustry, American Soybean Association,American Sugar Alliance, National Associationof Wheat Growers, National Cattlemen's BeefAssociation, National Corn GrowersAssociation, National Milk ProducersFederation, National Pork Producers Council,Southern Peanut Farmers Federation and theUnited Soybean Board.

"We were all spending money to do the samething, but we are spending pennies at a time indifferent areas and in different ways," Becherersaid. "As individuals we can't do much on ourown, but if we all get together and harness thatpower, we can perhaps change our future."

Becherer said the U.S. Farmers and RanchersAlliance hopes to work with leading nationalinfluential organizations to further agricultureof all kinds.

He said another problem is that consumersand producers are very far apart in theirperceptions.

"Farmers believe that consumers don't likethem," Becherer said. "Surveys show that's nottrue. Consumers think farmers are salt of theearth. They just don't like how you are raisingyour crops and animals. It may be a differentchallenge than you perceive."

He explained that today's farmers very muchbelieve in science and technology to help themdo their job, but many consumers, who areusually removed from the farm by severalgenerations, rely on perception and socialissues.

"They are very much in a different world,"Becherer said. "It's all about emotion withconsumers, it's all about science for (farmersand ranchers)."

He said that is where regulations to try toeliminate dust in agriculture and other issuescome up.

"If we don't to this together, we will slidedown that slippery slope of more and moreregulations making it harder and harder to beable to make a living at agriculture," Becherersaid.

What the U.S. Farmers and RanchersAlliance envisions is that with nearly everyaspect of agriculture working together, it can

enhance consumer trust in U.S. food productionand maintain the freedom that farmers andranchers have to operate in a responsiblemanner.

It also hopes to strengthen collaborationwithin the food production, processing anddistribution systems.

"In other words, we're all going to worktogether," Becherer said.

He said they have found that often people inthe agriculture and food industry understandone step above them and one step below them,but not much beyond that. For example, thecattle feeder often understands the producerand the meat processor, but not much beyondthat.

He said he believes the No. 1 challenge forthe U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance is"keeping everyone together on the same pageand literally creating that narrow focus that weneed. It will be a challenge getting everyone toagree on common parameters."

"This is the first time agriculture has cometogether at this level in a meaningful way tobenefit everyone," he said of the U.S. Farmersand Ranchers Alliance. "This is all abouthelping consumers understand that farmersshare their values."

Whitney Lovegrove, FFA Reporter

The Fillmore Central FFA chapter has kicked offthe 2010-2011 school year with various events andactivities, making their chapter diligent and fullof pride.

Our annual kickoff meeting was the first thingon their agenda of the school year, hoping torecruit new and old members to the chapter. Onthe thirtieth day of August 2010, at 6:30 PM, 26people attended the annual FFA kickoff meeting.It was held at Treasurer, Juli Capek’s home toenjoy the diminishing summer weather, and todiscuss about what the new FFA year will bringFillmore Central. These things were the impor-tance of LSE ’s (Leadership Skills Events), FFAweek ,CDE’s (Career Development Events), FFAState Convention, SAE’s (Supervised AgricultureExperiences) and proficiency award areas,MFE/ALD (Made For Excellence and AdvancedLeadership Development),FFA activity points, andthe community service projects we do. With thisknowledge, everyone that attended the meetinghad a better understanding as to the things ourchapter does throughout the year.

The next event that followed was FFA individ-uals excelling at the State Fair.

First, senior Trevor Dohrman received a blueribbon in the Ag Mechanics division. Then, two ofthe six FC FFA livestock exhibitors showed cattle.FFA showmanship is divided by school grade. Inthe freshmen class, Trevor Birky received a purpleand placed a 2nd among all the freshmen. Trevorearned a purple ribbon on both of his breedingheifers. Lydia Smith received a blue in the seniorclass of beef showmanship and a red in the marketsteer division. In the market hog classes, theachievements didn’t stop. Kali Reinsch exhibitedfour market hogs and a breeding gilt. Shereceived purples on all five, three of them weresecond place purples. Kali also received a purplein the “out of school” class of showmanship. CarlJacobson received blue ribbons on both of hismarket gilts and a purple in the senior class ofshowmanship. Thane Motis exhibited twobreeding gilts, receiving a second place purple onone and a purple ribbon on the other. Thane alsoexhibited four market hogs, receiving a secondplace purple, a purple, and two blue ribbons.Thane placed first in the junior class of showman-ship. As for Caroline Motis, she showed threemarket hogs, receiving two purples and a blueribbon. She also exhibited a purebred breedinggilt and received the Division Reserve Championwith the gilt. Caroline kept the Fillmore Centralswine showmanship purples coming by alsoreceiving a purple ribbon in the freshmen class ofshowmanship. Caroline also received top honorsin the Swine Carcass Contest. Caroline exhibitedthe 10th place hog. Her hog had .4 inches ofbackfat, 8.15 square inch loin eye, and its percentlean was 65.998. They all did exceptionally well!

With great success at the State Fair, Ag-VentureDay became the next item of business. On thethirteenth day of September 2010 at 9:15 a.m., theSouth Central Cattle Women and the FillmoreCounty Extension Officed hosted the 13th annuallivestock Ag-Venture Day for area fourth gradestudents. Schools such as Bruning Davenport,Deshler Lutheran, Shickley, Thayer Central,Superior, and Fillmore Central, attended to gainknowledge about agricultural pursuits. Theevent was held at the Fillmore County

Fairgrounds in Geneva. Both the Shickley FFAChapter and the Fillmore Central FFA Chapterprovided group leaders to help the students rotatebetween the sessions. Fillmore Central FFAmembers who served as group leaders included:Lydia Smith, Carl Jacobson, Whitney Lovegrove,Morgan Monteforte, Thane Motis, and KyleKarcher. The students that came, learned aboutour state’s number one industry: agriculture. Thiscouldn’t have been successful without the spon-sors’ of South Central Cattle Women, ReinkeManufacturing, Fillmore County 4-H &Extension, Cargill, and nonetheless the FFA chap-ters who gave their time to support the successfulannual event.

Land Judging is another event in which ourschool and of course, FFA competes in. TheFillmore Central Natural Resources, and PlantScience classes participated in the Land JudgingCompetition on Wednesday, October 6, 2010 atGrand Island. The participants determined manycharacteristics of four different sites.Characteristics included depth of soil favorable toroot development, surface soil texture, subsoilpermeability, thickness of surface soil, slope, anderosion. These characteristics were used to deter-mine the best use of the land, such as cropland,rangeland, or wildlife. Participants also had torecommend land treatment practices that shouldbe used on the site, such as establish and main-tain grassed waterways, build and maintainterraces, mow or spray for weeds, or to enhancewildlife habitat area. At this years Land Judging,Fillmore Central had a state qualifying team.These people include Travis Waldron, AustinTatro, Carl Jacobson, and Kaleb Fairbanks andthis is Mr. VanDeWalle’s first team elligble forstate. Along with a state qualifying team, Mr.VanDeWalle placed 1st in the adult competition.

Once everything started sinking in to the newschool year, the FC FFA attended the IMPACTWorkshop at Central Community College inHastings on Monday, October 11. The theme tothis years workshop was Discover the Power. Tokick off the start of the workshop, our StateOfficers put on a superhero themed skit to give usa preview of how we can relate this to agriculture.After the skit, everyone broke off into the vitalsessions. This year’s topics that the members

learned about were: knowing how to maximizestrengths and manage weaknesses being focusedto reach goals and doing what is important tothem, how to be involved and stay involved, and tobe proactive. They also learned about agriculturenemesis’s, values in everyday life, how to serve,investing in others, and how agriculture is..theIMPACT.

The National FFA Convention was without adoubt the major milestone of the FFA year. FromOctober 20th through the 23rd of 2010, 16Fillmore Central FFA members attended the 83rdNational FFA Convention in Indianapolis,Indiana. The captivating theme was “InfinitePotential”. Approximately 46,288 FFA memberswere present from around the United Statesincluding Puerto Rico. Overall the experience themembers had at nationals was very educationaland enjoyable. Learning about the “infinite poten-tial” in FFA showed members that you can achieveany goal you want if you push yourself becausethere is always an infinite amount of potentialthat any one person can possess.

The last event to end the semester for the FCFFA calendar was LSE’s (Leadership SkillsEvents). This took place on December 8, 2010 atSeward High School. In individual events; SeniorLydia Smith received a purple in Sr. PublicSpeaking. New member Faith Kerl did a NaturalResource speech and scored a blue ribbon. Bothindividuals did well with their hard work anddedication. In team events; Megan Schiermeyer,Brielle O’Brien, Danny Wythers, Brady Domeier,Tyler Swartz, Chandler Menard, and Caleb Smithcompiled the Jr. Parliamentary Procedure team.They received a blue. Lydia Smith, Brette Gebers,Kelsie Goc, Juli Capek, Morgan Monteforte, andWhitney Lovegrove compiled the Sr.Parliamentary Procedure team and received ablue. Last was our Ag Demonstration team, whichconsisted of Austin Tatro, Colin Monteforte, andTrevor Birky. They were rewarded a blue.

By all of these activities, I’d say that FillmoreCentral has been busy with all of their accom-plishments. This is only half the things that havetaken place this year. More is to come and thischapter will continue to serve the FFA and agri-culture education.

Busy Year forSpalding FFA

This year has already seen the Spalding FFAextremely busy with a variety of activities. Thesecond semester doesn’t appear that it will slowdown any either!

Of course, the chapter has competed in variouscontests ranging from Leadership Skills Events toRange Judging. They also tried a new fundraiserduring the fall by having a Blue Rock Shoot whichwas a huge success. Besides the Blue Rock Shootand other fundraisers, the FFA also has analuminum can drop. Several FFA members andother agriculture students constructed a large candrop to place outside the school for people to throwaluminum cans into. It seems as though the candrop has been getting emptied every week! Thankyou to all those who have contributed andsupported the Spalding FFA!

Before getting too busy with FFA week, theSpalding FFA took some time to attend a HuskerMen’s basketball game on February 12th to havesome fun as a chapter. For FFA week, the chapterwill host a Teacher Appreciation Breakfast, aPetting Zoo, and many other activities for bothstudents and the community.

Contest preparation will also take up a lot oftime this spring for chapter members. Spalding islooking to have its first State FFA Degree recipi-ents in the history of the program this year. EthanAsche, Kyle Berger, and Carrie Langer have beenspending countless hours preparing their recordbooks and degree applications in hopes of receivingtheir State FFA Degrees at the Nebraska StateFFA Convention in April. Teams are also formingfor Career Development Events in March.Students are enthusiastic about the opportunity tocompete in events including Meat Science andIdentification and Farm Business Management.

The Spalding FFA Chapter looks forward to anexciting rest of the year with all of the contestsand activities that are planned!

With the spring calving season well underway itis a good time for producers to assess some basicmanagement strategies that affect the incidenceof sickness in baby calves. Two key areas toconsider include (1) the condition of the calvingpasture and (2) the amount of calving difficultythat occurs in the herd.

Over 10 years ago, USDA and Kansas Stateresearchers surveyed 2490 beef herds in 23 statesto study the impact of management factors on calfsickness from birth to weaning. Herds thatreported more than 10% of the calves becomingsick from scours, respiratory illness, pinkeye, orfootrot were classified as "high sickness herds".

From their survey data they concluded that herdshaving 70% or more of the cows and heifers calvein confinement was associated with increased riskof being a high calf sickness herd. Herds withincreased calving difficulty were also likely to behigh calf sickness herds. In this data set, theaverage percentage difficult births for cows andheifers combined was 4%, whereas the average forjust heifers alone was 16.7%. Approximately 40%of the herds experienced high sickness from theeffect of calving difficulty and 10% from the effectof confined calving. (Source: Sanderson andDargatz, KSU Cattlemen's Day 2000.)

The take-home messages appear to be clear.When possible, have cows and especially first calfheifers in pastures (rather than closely confineddrylots) during the calving season. Developheifers well enough to avoid unnecessary calvingdifficulty. Breed them to bulls with low birthweight EPD’s, and then provide early assistanceto those cows and heifers that experience prob-lems during the calving process.

Common Causes of Calf Sickness

Dr. Glenn Selk, ProfessorAnimal Reproduction Specialist, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK

All baby calves are born with some degree ofrespiratory acidosis. Respiratory acidosis is thebuildup of by-products of carbon dioxide and adeficiency of oxygen. As the calf passes throughthe birth canal, it undergoes this buildup ofcarbon dioxide and its metabolites, and a defi-ciency of oxygen. When any baby calf is first born,it will gasp for air and pant for a few minutes inan effort to correct the carbon dioxide/oxygenunbalance in the circulatory system.

Therefore, when a calf is completely delivered,primary attention is directed toward establishingrespiration. Mucus and fetal fluids should beremoved from the nose and mouth by cleaningthese air pathways with your fingers and thumbs.These actions are important for any calf that isassisted during the “calving” process, but they arecritical for those calves that come backwards. Thecommon practice of suspending the calf for anextended time by it hindlegs to "clear the lungs",must be questioned. Most of the fluids that drainfrom the mouth of these calves probably come

from the stomach, and the weight of the intestineson the diaphragm makes expansion of the lungsdifficult, if not impossible.

Respiration is stimulated by many factors, butonly ventilation of the lungs, allow us to renderhelp immediately. The phrenic nerve can be stim-ulated with a sharp tap on the chest slightly aboveand behind where the heartbeat can be felt. Briskrubbing of the skin (if the calf has not had frostbite) can be helpful in stimulating circulation andbreathing activity. Perhaps the most effective andsimple approach to stimulating the first breathingactivity is by tickling inside of the nostril with astiff piece of straw. The vigorous tickling stimula-tion of the nostrils will cause the diaphragm of thecalf to have a noticeable reflex. As the calf snortsand coughs in reaction to the straw stimulation,the lungs expand and air is taken in. Manyranchers report that this is a very effective way toget a baby calf started on the necessary process ofrapid breathing.

Live cattle trade has been higher this weekdue to continued chart buying. The weekly netchange is $1.47 higher on the April contract andJune is up $1.85. Lower overall cattle numbersin Canada and the US have sparked the recentbuying interest. The trade should remain activeand volatile due to position squaring ahead ofFriday's USDA cattle on-feed report. Total cat-tle are expected to increase by 5% and place-ments are expected to rise by 3%. Cash trade iscalled steady to $2 higher, but volume may not

develop until Friday. Cutout values finished 32higher on Wednesday at 168.45 on Choice and 9lower at 167.91 on Select. Hedgers call withquestions.

Lean hog trade has been mixed this week due toa combination of chart buying and profit taking bymarket longs. The weekly net change is $.47 loweron the April contract and June is up $.52. Cashtrade has been disappointing this week. Furthercash trade is expected to develop steady to $.50lower. For the week, hogs have averaged .9 poundslighter than last week, but they are still averaging4.5 pounds heavier versus last year. On the chart,lean hog futures posted a downward reversal atmidweek which may lead to follow-through chartselling. This may be topping action; key short-termJune chart support is at 101.50 which is the 10-daymoving average.

"Its (China) production will be significantlyreduced, throwing chaos in the wheat marketworldwide, and I suspect it is the same forother commodities as well," Nelson said.

Globally, USDA is estimating a slightlysmaller grain (wheat, rice, corn, etc.) supplythan last year's record amount of more than 2.7billion metric tons. The 2010-11 global supplyof grain is less than 1 percent smaller than lastyear's record.

According to the USDA, U.S. corn endingstocks for 2010-11 are projected 70 millionbushels lower this month, with higher expectedfood, seed and industrial use.

Corn used for ethanol, according to thereport, is projected to be 50 million bushelshigher on a higher-than-expected Novemberfinal ethanol production estimate and weeklyethanol data that indicate record output forDecember and January.

"Rising corn prices," the report said, "havereduced spot margins relative to variable costs

to breakeven levels in recent weeks; however,ethanol blender incentives remain in place andexport demand prospects remain strong withsugar-based ethanol uncompetitive at currentsugar prices."

Nelson said ethanol critics blame the use ofcorn for fuel production for rising prices, espe-cially in the livestock sector where feed is amajor cost of production. Since 2005, cornprices have risen from less than $2 per bushelto more than $6 per bushel.

While the use of corn for ethanol has notcreated a shortage, Nelson said, "You have amajor concern about food shortages, and oncethat happens, they typically point to ethanol."Bob Dinneen, president of the Renewable FuelsAssociation, also said that the USDA report"will add fuel to the speculative fire, likelypushing prices for corn and other commoditieshigher."

"Many will use strong ethanol demand as therationale to drive the price of corn futures as

high as the market will bear," Dinneen said. "Inturn, this will likely cause ill-informed indus-tries and talking heads to pronounce U.S.ethanol production as the root cause of foodinflation the world over."

To back up his case that ethanol is not thecause of rising food prices, Dinneen points outthat U.S. ethanol production uses just 3percent of the world's grain supply on a netbasis and that the industry uses strictly coarsegrains, not food grains such as rice and wheat.Also, he said one-third of every bushel of cornused for ethanol production is returned to thefeed market as distillers grain.

The RFA is projecting 13.5 billion gallons ofproduction for calendar year 2011 " nearly 1billion gallons more than the renewable fuelstandard requirement of 12.6 billion gallonsthis year.

WEATHER, NOT ETHANOL, CAUSING HIGHER FOOD PRICESContinued from page 1

The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) recentlyheld their annual biodiesel conference, February6th to 9th, in Phoenix, Ariz. At the conference, theNBB recognized the Nebraska Soybean Board(NSB) with its “Industry Partnership Award.”Accepting the award on the behalf of the NSBwere Executive Director, Victor Bohuslavsky ofBrainard, Nebr. and Domestic MarketingChairman, Duane Lee of Albion, Nebr.

After receiving the award, Duane Lee noted,“The Nebraska Soybean Board has continuedtheir support of the biodiesel industry because werecognize it as a value-added investment forNebraska’s 24,000 soybean farmers. Movingbiodiesel into the Advanced Biofuels category wasa giant step forward and we look forward to theresurgence of the biodiesel industry in the months

and years to come. Thank you to the NationalBiodiesel Board for your recognition of the effortsmade by Nebraska soybean farmers to promotebiodiesel.”

The following is a summary of the award fromthe NBB:

The Nebraska Soybean Board has been a leaderamong state soybean organizations in its supportof biodiesel. Staff and farmer leaders regularlysupport and participate in critical biodiesel proj-ects and events. For example, Nebraska recentlyhosted a delegation of oil heat leaders, a groupthat plans to blend 325 million gallons of biodieseland wanted to see firsthand the source of theproduct. The board also played a major role spear-heading the largest proactive communicationseffort in industry history. They introduced new

state soybean organizations to the biodieselindustry, and continue to support the industrythrough major investments in biodiesel projects.

Greg Anderson, a soybean farmer from NewmanGrove, Nebr. and NBB Governing Board Member,stated that “Every soybean farmer in Nebraskashould be proud of the fact that their farmer-driven checkoff has been effective in establishingthe biodiesel industry in the U.S. Now the farmerleaders of the Nebraska Soybean Board are takingthat success to the next level by helping to open amarket for hundreds of millions of gallons ofbiodiesel each year with Bioheat®. This new,exciting market will bring a huge return oninvestment and will create profit opportunities forevery Nebraska soybean farmer."

Reach Over 393,000Households with

By Katie Bradshaw, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

A pilot project in southeast Wyoming isallowing consumers and food producers toexplore a new way to buy and sell.

The project - Triple Crown CommoditiesCooperative - is centered around a websitedesigned to connect consumers wanting fresh,local foods with small-scale and specialty foodproducers.

Jeff Edwards, University of WyomingSoutheast Area Extension educator, is one ofmany people involved in getting the project offthe ground. Other participating organizationsinclude Rocky Mountain Farmers Union,Wyoming Business Council and WyomingDepartment of Agriculture.

Edwards called the project an "online cooper-ative farmers market with a CSA twist."

"CSA" stands for "community-supported agri-culture," a business model in which consumersbuy shares in a farm and are paid dividends inproduce.

Participation in the pilot project is free forproducers and consumers, but eventually amembership fee will be charged to cover thecooperative's operating expenses, Edwardssaid. The cooperative currently covers Albany,Goshen, Laramie and Platte Counties inWyoming but may expand into the rest ofWyoming and the Nebraska Panhandle afterthe pilot period ends.

Project chairman Ron Pulley, who raises hogsat RoLyn Acres Inc., in Huntley, Wyo., envi-sions TCCC linking producers and consumersall along the North Platte River, from"Wheatland to Bridgeport."

Pulley said the name chosen for the coopera-tive is not tied to geography because "coopera-tives have a tendency, like an amoeba, to justgrow." The three "crowns" in the name refer tothe products available through the cooperative:

items that are locally grown, locally manufac-tured or locally produced.

The cooperative website, triplecrowncom-moditiescooperative.com, describes how thesystem works.

Producers register to list their products forsale on the website during a particular ordercycle. For example, the most recent order cycleran from Feb. 1 to 12. Some of the items listedin that order cycle included beef, pork, eggs,flour, popcorn, wine, honey, jelly, cheese andherbs.

Consumers register to purchase availableitems. As orders are placed, the online inven-tory adjusts to reflect availability. Consumersmay shop by producer, or may compare similaritems across producers.

On delivery day, Feb. 17 in this case,producers deliver the ordered items to a centrallocation. Volunteers sort and deliver the itemsto four pickup locations in the Wyoming pilotproject area: Cheyenne, Laramie, Torringtonand Wheatland.

Pulley said that currently, consumers pay fortheir purchases at the pickup point, but thegoal is to enable pre-delivery online paymentsvia PayPal. Pickup locations could be added asthe cooperative expands.

Pulley said the system is modeled after theNebraska Food Cooperative, which operates inthe eastern third of the state.

Pulley believes that the online market willgrow the local food market by introducing effi-ciencies not possible with existing farmersmarket and CSA business models. While afarmers market is a social event that allowsproducers and consumers to develop an in-person relationship, it doesn't always result insatisfactory sales.

For example, Pulley said, consumers maymiss out on desired products if they don't shopright when the market begins, before items sellout. Producers have a hard time estimatinghow much product to bring. If they don't bring

enough, they miss sales opportunities. If theybring too much, they waste effort transportingthe products back and forth.

The goal of the cooperative is "making 'shoplocal' easier," Pulley said.

Additionally, Pulley said the online coopera-tive could boost rural economic development.By improving the distribution system andbringing down the cost of entering the market,the cooperative will assist entrepreneurs andcould spur production of value-added items likecheese or bread made with local ingredients.Young farmers could start a business withoutmaking a large capital investment, Pulley said.

"As long as people are willing to go grab theshovel by the handle and go out and work," theyhave a chance at developing a successful smallbusiness through the cooperative, he said.

Because of the potential for an online localfood market to boost economic development inthe Panhandle and benefit entrepreneurs,Nebraska Department of EconomicDevelopment consultant Starr Lehl has takenan interest in the project. Lehl is promoting aninformational meeting for western Nebraskagrowers and producers to discuss what hasbeen done in the eastern end of the state andthe Wyoming pilot project.

The meeting will be held Feb. 28 from 1 to 4p.m. at the Prairie Winds Community Center inBridgeport.

Speakers and invited guests include repre-sentatives from Nebraska Fruit and VegetableGrowers Association, Nebraska FoodCooperative, Nebraska "Buy Fresh, Buy Local,"and Extension educators from the University ofNebraska and the University of Wyoming.

The Open Fields and Waters program provides access to more places for hunting and fishing. This program:

– Pays improved rates per acre.

– Helps you manage wildlife on your property.

– Provides you with enhanced seasonal flexibility.

– Gives controlled access to the habitat on your land.

– Protects you through the Nebraska Recreation Liability Act.

“ I’m now getting paid to allow hunting on my land. I would definitely recommend the Open Fields and Waters program—the support and help I’ve received has been incredible.”

—Gary Frerichs, Beatrice
