It's not just one-room schools and countrychurches that are disappearing from Nebraska'slandscape.

A statewide preservation group on Thursdayadded grain elevators -- the old wooden and sheet-metal structures that once towered over everytown -- to the endangered list.

In releasing its annual list of the state's "fadingplaces" and "hidden treasures," an official withHeritage Nebraska said grain elevators builtbetween the 1880s and the 1920s are disappearingat "an alarming rate" across the state.

J.L. Schmidt, the group's executive director, saidthese "cathedrals of the prairie" deserve consider-ation for renovation and re-use, just like thedozens of country schools that have closed becauseof declining population.

"It's a piece of rural Nebraska that I think istaken too much for granted," Schmidt said of theold elevators.

Communities, he said, ought to consider the his-toric value of the structures before they are usedin fire-training exercises for the local fire depart-ment.

Schmidt cited the F.H. Schafer Elevator inScottsbluff, which is over 100 years old, as anexample of a grand old elevator still in use. A his-toric mill in the Florence neighborhood in Omahawas converted to re-use as an art gallery, and anold elevator in Ralston became a commercial mall.An 1890 elevator in Ithaca, Neb., is on theNational Register of Historic Places.

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

Average tempera-tures across the stateranged from 4° to 9° Fbelow normal duringthe first 15 days ofMay. Since then, aver-age temperatures haveswung to 5° to 10° Fabove normal, with thecoolest readingsobserved across thenorthwestern 1/4 of thestate. Growing DegreeDay unit accumula-tions (Base 50/86) are

running 40-70 units behind normal for areasnorth of I-80 and the Panhandle, while locationssouth of the interstate are running 20-50 unitsbehind normal based upon a 5/1 emergence date.Using a 5/15 emergence date, GDD’s are runningplus or minus 20 units. Based upon expected tem-perature trends the next two weeks, accumulateddeficits from 5/1 should be reduced by 25 to 50units. In other words, it is still early enough in

the season to eliminate accumulated deficits, butwe can ill afford to see significant below normaltemperatures develop for the month of June.

Week One Forecast, 5/29 - 6/4: A strong coldfront is expected to slide across the state on 5/29,setting the stage for the development of severethunderstorms over the western 2/3 of the state.Thunderstorms are expected to continue on 5/29across eastern Nebraska. Highs on 5/29 should bein the 80's statewide, cooling into the mid 70'swest to low 80's east on 5/30. Memorial day tem-peratures are projected to range from the low 70'swest to upper 70's east with scattered thunder-storms possible across the southern 1/3 of thestate. Weak ridging aloft is projected by the mod-els during the 6/1-6/2 period, but low level mois-ture and an increasing Gulf of Mexico moisturefetch may be sufficient to generate scattered thun-derstorms. Highs are projected to remain in the70's, with a few low 80's across extreme southernNebraska. Models indicate that the most likelyareas of organized moisture will remain north andeast of the state, with the eastern 1/3 of Nebraskaseeing the best chance for scattered thunderstorm

activity. Highs during the 6/3-6/4 period are pro-jected to range from the upper 70's to low 80's

Week Two Forecast, 6/5 - 6/11: Weather modelsindicate that a broad upper air ridge will buildacross the central U.S. during the 6/5-6/7 period.At this time, models indicate no moisture isexpected with highs in the low to upper 80s. A fewlow 90's may occur across extreme southernNebraska, especially on 6/7. Current indicationsare that the upper air ridge will flatten enough toallow the jet stream to lie along the Nebraska -South Dakota border during the 6/8-6/11 period.This should shave 5°-10° F off of highs tempera-tures, with daily chances for thunderstorm devel-opment during the afternoon and evening hours.The best chances for moisture will be confined tothe northern half of the state during this period,but even southern Nebraska will likely see widelyscattered thunderstorms. Highs during the 6/8-6/11 period are forecasted to range from the upper70's to low 80's north, warming to the low to mid80's south.

Finally, we can put away our winter clothes andkeep them in storage for a few months. We hadsome hot days in April but then had to pull outsome winter sweaters for some days in May!

Before storing clothes, make sure they areclean. Not all stains and soiled areas can be seenso it is a good habit to wash or dry clean allclothes before storage. This is particularly trueof sweaters or jackets that may not be cleanedafter each time it is worn. Body oils and invisiblefood/beverage stains are magnets for insects. Inaddition, if a stain is left too long on a garment,

the stain may be permanently set.Clothes should be stored in a cool, dry and well-

ventilated area. Too much heat (like attics) cancause fabrics to yellow. Dampness (found in base-ments) can promote mildew. Avoid using plasticgarment bags since the clothing is not allowed tobreathe.

Next fall, when you begin to take out the win-ter clothes, do an inspection. Did any stains“miraculously” appear? Is there any mold ormildew? Have any garments become yellowed orfaded? Not only will this step help you with yourclothes next fall, but it will also help you deter-mine if the out of season storage locations areadequate.

Storing Winter Clothing

Warm weather is finally here to stay. If youstill have your outdoor furniture in storage, nowis the time to get it out.

A common type of outdoor furniture is the resinchair. These chairs are economical, functionaland store well in the off season. Resin is a formof plastic that is formulated to be more flexibleyet sturdier than other plastics. Furniture madeof resin can withstand the elements much betterthan plastics of years ago.

However, the furniture made of resin still needsto be cared for and cleaned. In most cases, justuse a mixture of warm water and hand dishwash-ing soap or other mild detergent to wipe the sur-face of the furniture. Rinse thoroughly and dry

with a towel or other soft cloth.Other outdoor furniture may need more clean-

ing or touchups. Outdoor furniture with webbingmay have mold growing on the surface. A solu-tion of chlorine bleach and water can be used toclean and disinfect the problem. Wear gloveswhen working with this bleach solution and workin a well-ventilated area (i.e. outside works thebest). Before mixing this solution, make surethat the pail is clean and free from any ammoniaresidue. When chlorine bleach and ammonia aremixed, toxic fumes are created and released.

If your outdoor furniture is made of metal orhas metal parts, check for rust. If the item needsrepainting, use a type of paint created specifical-ly for outdoor metals with rust for a longer life ofthe furniture.

Combined with the proper cooking procedure, asmoker is sure to turn out a delicious meal.

Smoking can add new flavors to meat and poul-try cuts by slowly cooking food in the indirectpresence of fire. This can be done with a special-ly designed cooker known as a "smoker" or cov-ered grill and drip pan of water. The slow cookingtechnique used in the smoking process keepsmeat moist and tender.

Commercial smokers should be made of materi-als that are approved for contact with meat andpoultry. Avoid smoking meat in homemade con-tainers not designed for cooking. Certain materi-als can cause contamination from chemicalresidue. To avoid fire hazards, use smokers inwell-lit, well-ventilated areas away from trees,shrubbery, buildings and other flammable mate-rials. Use approved fire starters instead of gaso-line or paint thinner.

Smokers obtain heat through charcoal or gas.However, charcoal-fired smokers with aromaticwood chips create the most satisfactory smokedflavor. Hickory, apple or maple wood chips orflakes are recommended. To heat the smoker,charcoals should be placed around a drip pan andallowed to get red hot with traces of gray ash.Once the cooking process begins, charcoal bri-quettes should be added every hour to maintaintemperature. Add wood chips soaked in water toprevent flare-ups.

The concept behind using a covered grill is sim-

ilar to that of a regular smoker. Heat approxi-mately 50 briquettes in the center of the grateuntil they are covered with gray ash. Push thebriquettes into two piles and center a pan ofwater on top. Cook meat directly above the waterto prevent flare-ups caused by dripping fat andmeat liquids. The steam will also help destroyharmful bacteria that can cause illness. Keep thelid closed and vents open. Add 10 briquettesevery hour as well.

To ensure meat is cooked properly in a smoker,two types of thermometers should be used. Onetype is used to monitor the air temperatureinside the smoker or grill. Throughout the smok-ing process, the temperature should stay between225 and 300 degrees. One advantage of commer-cial smokers is that they come with built-in ther-mometers. An oven-safe or instant read ther-mometer is needed as well to make sure thatmeat or poultry is adequately cooked.

Cooking with a smoker can take anywhere fromfour to eight hours depending on the type of meat,its size and shape, its distance from the heat,temperature of the coals and weather. Therefore,it is especially important to use thermometers tomake sure meat has been cooked to a safe inter-nal temperature and doneness. Beef, veal andlamb roasts should reach 145 to 170 degrees,pork 160 to 170 degrees, poultry breasts andwhole poultry 165 degrees.

Sauces can be applied during the smokingprocess as well. Adding sauces during the last 15to 30 minutes of smoking will prevent excessbrowning or burning.

Use Safety Precautions When Smoking Meats

Whole grains have many health benefits. Theycontain high amounts of fiber, which can reducethe risk of coronary artery disease and are a goodsource of complex carbohydrates. They are usual-ly low in fat, and provide antioxidants vitamin Eand selenium, as well as being a good source ofzinc, copper and vitamin B6. In addition, threeounces daily can help with weight management.

In order to be considered a whole grain food,the product must have whole grains in it, theendosperm, germ and bran, rather than justrefined flour. The term whole grain can be usedwhen the food product gets 51 percent or more ofits weight from whole grains.

When eating a diet rich in whole grains, eat avariety with about half of daily grains comingfrom whole grains. Eating fruits, vegetables,meats, dairy and fat daily as recommended by theUnited States Department of Agriculture’s MyPyramid is equally important. When eating

whole grains, bloating can occur if adequateamounts of liquids aren’t taken in. Eating inmoderation also is important; the calories inhealthy whole grains can still cause weight gainif eaten in excess.

Whole grains can easily be incorporated into adiet, they often are found in popular food choices.Barley can be added to soups, salads and ricedishes. Oats can be used in oatmeal and muffins.Substituting brown rice for white, whole wheatpasta for regular and whole grain breads andcrackers for refined versions is an easy way to getwhole grains.

Consumers will know if products are wholegrain by checking the label. The first ingredientin the list should be whole grains, and the prod-uct should contain high amounts of fiber. Anaverage person needs 25 to 35 grams daily, mostonly get about 15 grams per day. Fiber helps tolower blood pressure and cholesterol levels andkeeps bowels in good health.

S u t u r e S e l fby Lee Pitts

A carpenter friend recently showed me agruesome scar on his arm that was theresult of some surgery he performed onhimself with a sewing needle without anyform of anesthetic! He said he played doctorand sewed up the nasty cut himself becausehe had no insurance and felt qualifiedbecause he’d once sewn some sails. Fromthe looks of his arm I can only assume thesailboat subsequently capsized or ranaground.

It’s only in the last 100 years that people,like my friend, haven’t had to be their owndoctor. If a cowboy in the 1800’s was seri-ously sick, kicked by a horse, wounded byan Indian or run over by a stampede he wassimply out of luck. And out of time.

Early in our nation’s history doctors wereas scarce as tuba players in a submarine,and even if one could be found the saw-bones performed most operations withoutany anesthetic. If you don’t count thewhiskey, that is. Now days when people goto the doctor for an ingrown toenail it’shard to imagine that women had theirbabies at home and the only provision forpain was a stick they could bite down on.You couldn’t have found a log big enoughfor me to chomp on! And you think you haveit bad because you have to read old maga-zines and wait awhile to see a doctor?

In the days of old there were no urgentcare facilities or emergency rooms and ifthe doctor came at all it wasn’t until youwere nearly ready to be cultivated under. In

this day of Dr. Oz and Viagra, when thereseems to be a pill for every inconvenienceand a TV telethon or walkathon for everyailment, it’s hard to imagine that the bestthe pioneers could do was apply a poulticeof fresh cow manure. If they sprained anankle they wrapped the joint in brownpaper, soaked it in vinegar and slept withtheir head pointed north. Often times thepeople used the same treatments they usedon their livestock. Cowboys got the samecure as the horse they were riding. If youwere wormy you took a thimble full ofsheep wormer and if you ached all over youapplied a little Sloan’s Liniment forLivestock. It contained turpentine and“sassafrassy” and was said to cure bruises,kicks, flatulent colic and bumblefoot. I’vebeen tempted to try it once or twice myself.

Just like my buddy who sewed himself up,the pioneers improvised a lot. They werepracticing holistic medicine long beforeanyone ever heard the phrase. In an erawhen doctors with tiny cameras boldly gowhere no man has gone before, it’s hard toimagine that people once bled, purged andpuked themselves to better health. The doc-tors of the nineteenth century seemed tobelieve that a person could not get wellwithout a sufficient amount of pain beingsuffered first. And maybe they were right.

You may hate the dentist but at least youhave one. If the old-timers had a toothachethey jumped up and down so the bloodwould go to their feet and then pulled a

tooth or two with a pair of horse nippers orhog ringers. If a limb needed to be amputat-ed the only anesthetic was to have a fatman sit on the patient. Allergies and cos-metic surgery? Forget it. If you broke a legyou had a lifelong limp; a broken rib andyou suffered every time you breathed forthe rest of your life. If you had an excess ofsagging body parts you lived with them.Hypochondriacs didn’t stand a chance.

Some things never change though. In aletter to his family in 1849 a Californiaminer wrote, “Have now paid all my gold tothe Doctors and they leave me worse inhealth.” See what I mean? Who knows,maybe a lot of lives were saved back whenfolks didn’t have access to all the over-doc-toring that goes on now days.

By the time our leaders in Washington getthrough messing up our healthcare system,the way things are headed we’ll have toanesthetize our cattle to brand them butyou and I won’t be able to get in to see adoctor. We could find ourselves living onceagain in a society where the rule of thumbwill be, “Cowboy, heal thyself.”

May 27, 2010Heartland Express - Government Report

As our economy struggles to right its course, weshould be exploring every avenue to boost busi-nesses and create jobs. The global trade market isone area which represents a tremendous opportu-nity for Nebraska’s small and medium-sized busi-nesses.

It is fitting we are in the midst of celebratingWorld Trade Month, which honors and celebratesthe nearly 300,000 American businesses whichsupport millions of American jobs. Export marketsare an integral part of America’s economic recov-ery, and I want to make sure Nebraska productsand producers make the most of the opportunitiesprovided by international sales.

Beyond the U.S. lies 73 percent of the world’spurchasing power, 87 percent of its economicgrowth and 95 percent of the globe’s consumers.More than 50 million Americans work for compa-nies which engage in global sales, and one in threeacres of American farmland grows food for con-sumers overseas. International markets providethe average American family $9,000 more a year inpurchasing power.

In 2008 Nebraska exported $5.4 billion in manu-factured goods, which supported more than 34,000jobs. That same year, we exported $5.9 billion inagricultural products, supporting more than

68,000 ag jobs.Nearly 80 percent of the 1,200 Nebraska compa-

nies which exported goods in 2007 were small andmedium-sized enterprises.

Unfortunately, approval of pending trade agree-ments with countries such as Colombia, SouthKorea, and Panama have languished awaitingapproval by Congress. Every day we delay, themore ground our nation and our economy lose toour international competitors.

Opening new and strengthening existing mar-kets is tremendously important to Nebraska. It isa priority of mine to help Nebraska’s producersand industries compete and succeed in the globalmarket.

To explore this topic further, on June 3rd, I willbe hosting a seminar entitled “Export 2010” at theUniversity of Nebraska-Kearney. This education-al and enlightening program is ideal for Nebraskasmall and medium-sized businesses interested ingrowing their export business by tapping intointernational markets.

Experts from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,U.S. Department of Commerce, University ofNebraska, Small Business Administration, andthe Export-Import Bank of the United States willjoin me for the event, which is free and open to the

public. The seminar also will feature Nebraskabusinesses detailing their experiences and lessonslearned through exporting products to the globalmarketplace, as well as information for those juststarting to export.

I’m very pleased my friend and colleagueGovernor Dave Heineman will be delivering thekeynote address. Governor Heineman has longbeen a proponent of trade opportunities forNebraska and I look forward to hearing hisinsights.

Seating is limited, so if you are interested inattending the June 3rd seminar, I encourage youto register by calling my Grand Island office at308-384-3900. You also can send an e-mail to:[email protected] or visit my websiteat http://adriansmith.house.gov.

International markets are an indispensable partof our economic recovery, and I want to helpNebraska companies make full use of the lessonslearned from the experience of our seminar speak-ers. In order for Nebraska businesses to grow andsucceed, they need to have the resources andknowledge to tap into these potential new cus-tomers. Export 2010 is designed to give our busi-nesses these tools.

Nebraska Sets the Standard for Smart Governmentby Senator Mike Johanns

A longstanding debate in our country is the rolegovernment should play in the lives of our fami-lies, communities, and businesses. While somefavor an activist government, others favor a small-er, less intrusive role for our government - sensi-ble, responsible policies that lead to job creation,allow businesses to flourish, and enable families toraise their children in a thriving economic envi-ronment. For proof of this, one must look no fur-ther than our own great state of Nebraska, whereour cities and counties have recently received acco-lades that pay tribute to smart, accountable gover-nance.

Forbes annually determines the "Top Ten MostLivable Cities," using five factors: unemploymentrates; crime rates; average income growth; cost ofliving; and artistic and cultural opportunities.Omaha and Lincoln rank as the sixth and ninth"most livable" cities in the country, respectively.Specifically, Forbes ranks Lincoln first in thenation and Omaha fifth in terms of low unemploy-ment. In the wake of the financial meltdown andsubsequent national spike in unemployment, the

citizens of Lincoln and Omaha are, relativelyspeaking, flourishing.

Forbes additionally compiled a second list, thetop ten "Places for Business and Careers." Again,Lincoln (fifth) and Omaha (seventh) made the list.In fact, Nebraska is the only state in the nation tohave two cities on both lists; Omaha and Lincolnare two of the three cities to make both lists(Provo, Utah is the third). Factors for these rank-ings include job and economic growth; education;the cost of doing business; and the rate at whichbusinesses and workers migrate to the city. WithLincoln's renowned low cost of business andOmaha's five Fortune 500 companies, this shouldcome as no surprise.

Nebraska's success is certainly not limited tojust Omaha and Lincoln. In March, The AssociatedPress released its annual rankings of the most andleast economically stressed counties in America.Nebraska contributes zero counties to the "moststressed" list and three - Buffalo (seventh); Platte(twelfth); and Madison (nineteenth) - rank amongthe least stressed. These counties include the

cities of Columbus, Kearney, and Norfolk, as wellas many thriving rural communities. They embodythe spirit of "the Good Life," the strength and workethic of those all across Nebraska.

Nebraska's balanced presence across all of theselists is no coincidence, not in a state that balancesits budget year in and year out, and takes suchgreat strides to boost businesses, both large andsmall. We spend within our means and rely uponour citizens to create jobs and foster economicgrowth. Amid the torrent of financial woes fromCalifornia to New York, and across the ocean toGreece, Nebraska's pragmatic and responsibleapproach to government is a breath of fresh air.Nebraska's fiscal responsibility stands in starkcontrast to the runaway spending in Washington.Nebraskans have every right to be proud of theirstate; we truly set the standard for our country. Iam hopeful that more politicians in Washingtonwill begin to realize that we need more of this typeof Midwestern sensibility to rein in our out of con-trol spending and ballooning national debt.

I get a fair number of letters, calls and e-mailsfrom many Nebraskans who fear that any cap andtrade plan coming out of Washington will damagethe economy, especially Nebraska’s economy wherewe rely on large amounts of coal, and our manufac-turing and agricultural industries depend largelyon affordable electricity and fuel.

I, too, share their concerns and will do all I can tomake sure nothing happens that has a big negativeimpact on our economy. I’m not the only senatorwho feels this way. Many of my colleagues on bothsides of the aisle have similar concerns regardingthe bill’s impact on their home states.

As a result, I believe that support for the legisla-tion that is being talked about just does not exist. Itis highly doubtful that 60 votes can be found tomove it forward.

“Cap” and “Trade” Hurts NebraskaAt this point, it’s difficult to see how the cap and

trade system could avoid hurting states likeNebraska. I am skeptical that putting a “cap” ongreenhouse gas emissions and then having a systemfor power plants and others to “trade” allowances

for emissions they produce will work withoutadversely impacting states like Nebraska.

Like other proposals that have come before theSenate and the House, the Kerry-Lieberman planstill has a steep ramp up of 17 percent reduction of2005-level carbon emissions by 2020, and an 83 per-cent reduction by 2050, despite continuing concernswhether the technology will be even available oraffordable for our utilities to meet this ambitiousgoal.

Also, while the authors of the bill believe it hasthe mechanisms in place to prevent the possibilityof manipulation in a future carbon market, I’m notyet convinced that will be the case. The Senate’scontinuing efforts on Financial Regulatory Reformthis month are just another reminder that creatinga massive trading system in a short time frame thatinvolves the trading of permits on pollution, withthe potential for secondary and derivative markets,is fraught with the potential of price volatility. Italso opens multiple opportunities for undue influ-ence on distribution of allowances and speculationon the sale of credits.

Finally, even if you take into account the offsets

and incentives put in place in the legislation forrural America, farmers and ranchers are far morelikely to face greater increases of production costs.They would likely see significant increases in feed,fuel, and fertilizer and increased electric rates dou-bling the cost to irrigate their crops. Nebraskafarmers would suffer and so would our economy.

Bottom LineWhile I do hope the Senate would take the time to

address our nation’s challenging energy needs, Idon’t expect a bill to come forward this year, unlessit drops the cap and trade provisions. I am not alonein this thinking since senators from coal-dependentstates, like Nebraska, will likely refuse to back abill that has a trade system, or a carbon tax that isbound to raise energy prices.

By Alan J. Bartels, The Grand Island Independent

Margie Lloyd of Brewster believes there is a"real disconnect between our kids and agricul-ture." That's part of the reason she loaded threeyoung goats into a large cardboard box last weekand took them to Kathy Curry's fourth-gradeclassroom at Burwell Elementary School.

It was gray and rainy outside, but when Lloydarrived, the beaming faces of 19 students shonefrom the window in anticipation.

She has been bringing her goats to Burwell'sfourth-graders for several years and it's a highlyanticipated event toward the end of the schoolyear. Fifth-graders talk of how great it was andthird-graders can't wait until next year when theyget their turn.

Excited kids (the human ones) jockeyed for posi-tion around the box of goats, oooh-ing and ahh-ing, when one of them shouted, "Can we holdthem?" When Lloyd responded with "as soon asyou take your seats," it was as if the plug had beenpulled on a loud stereo. Children flew to theirdesks and buttoned their lips " until the goatswere passed around, that is.

"This one was just born yesterday," Margie saidas she wrapped the small brown kid (the goat one)in a towel and handed it to an excited young girl.

"Oh, it is so cute," the girl said as the animalplaced its small head onto the girl's shoulder.Another goat was handed to children at the backof the room. When it reached one boy, his face litup. Curry whispered, "That's the first time he hassmiled today."

Lloyd quizzed the students about what goats areused for. Considering that many of the studentsare farm and ranch kids, it's not surprising thatthe kids aced the test. "They're pets" one girlexclaimed. "They eat weeds!" said another. "Andpeople eat them," said a boy with a goat in hisarms.

Most of Lloyd's goats are raised for their meat."Goat meat is eaten around the world," she toldthe kids. "I've eaten it," she added. At times, shehas as many as 75 animals.

Lloyd explained that in addition to their meat,goat milk is also an important goat product."When people have babies, sometimes they can'tdrink cow's milk" said Lloyd. "But sometimes theycan drink goat's milk," she added. Perhaps Lloyd'ssoft spot for goats stems from the fact that she wasraised on goat's milk as a child.

She milks her goats daily and is known for thetasty cheese she makes with it. A neighbor alsocreates silky soaps and lotions using her milk.Lloyd passed around a bottle of the lotion andeach child took one squirt of it in their palms andhanded it to the next desk. "Mmmm, this smellsgood," one girl said. The boys, not too enthusedabout a pretty scented lotion but not wanting to beleft out, hastily rubbed in the lotion and passedthe bottle on. Each child was also given a bar ofcowboy hat-shaped goat's milk soap.

Before the next treat was removed from a cooler,one child yelled, "A brown chick is hatching!" Theclass rushed to a small Styrofoam incubator in theback of the room. Through an acrylic window inthe incubator's lid, a small chick looked out at theworld for the first time.

Curry said, "At the end of the school year, thekids draw for the chicks, as long as they have a

permission slip from their parents. There are usu-ally more kids wanting them than there arechicks." Curry dreams of a fantasy farm wherechildren learn about the land, nature and agricul-ture. For now, she exposes them to those thingsthrough instruction, hands-on with the chicks andthrough visits from Lloyd, who has been a fourth-grade pen pal for two years.

"I grew up on a ranch throughout my childhood,so I know how important agriculture is to ourlives. I want my students to be exposed to agricul-ture in some way," said Curry. "My fourth-gradeclasses always celebrate National AgricultureWeek. The agriculture industry supplies us ourfood, fuel, clothing, shelter and other essentials inlife. Almost everything we eat, use and wearcomes from agriculture."

Lloyd receives no payment for her programs butdoes them anyway to expose youths to their agri-cultural heritage. Curry said, "Margie has done asuperb job educating my students through her let-ters, pictures and the hands-on experience bybringing the goats to the classroom. Plus, theclass loved the homemade goat's milk ice cream,soap and lotion!"

Common mullein (Verbascim thapsus) is a weedspecies that's increasing in Nebraska’s rangeland,woodland, and pastures. It is a biennial plant thatreproduces only by seeds, but it is a prolific seedproducer. The taproot of this species can accesssoil moisture from a deeper profile at a much bet-ter rate than fibrous roots of pasture grasses, giv-ing it a competitive advantage, especially in dryyears.

Identification – Common mullein usually startsgrowing sparsely as individual plants and thenspreads. A cluster of leaves, commonly known as arosette, with a thick hair cover is a distinct identi-fying feature of this species. Other identifyingcharacteristics include:

· Stem is woolly, erect, 2-6 feet tall, and withoutbranches.

· Leaves are opposite, elliptic to ovate. · Overall growth depends on the amount and

timing of rainfall. · Produces yellowish flowers in June and July. · Low palatability and no feed value to livestock. · Heavy stands can reduce grass production by

as much as 50%, especially in dry years.Control – The best strategy is to control com-

mon mullein while the population density is low.Plant numbers can easily expand from a few tohundreds per acre in just a couple years due toprolific seed production.

Mechanical Control – Sparse populations can becontrolled by mechanical removal using a spade orshovel in late April and early May. Individualplants can be dug out or cut just at the soil sur-faces as long as the whole rosette is removed.Single mowing of new 1-2 foot tall plants canreduce population and seed production for the sea-son, especially in dry years.

Chemical Control – Herbicides also can be effec-tive in providing season long control; however, beaware that the thick wooly coat of hairs on theleaves can reduce herbicide uptake and control.

Apply herbicide when the rosette has 6 – 12leaves and before the stem starts to grow, which isusually in May. Effective herbicides and theirrates per acre include: Chaparral® (2.0 – 3.3oz/acre), ForeFront® R&P (2.0 – 2.6 pints/acre),Grazon P+D (3 – 4 pints/acre), Cimarron (0.75 – 1oz/acre), and a three-way-mix of Cimarron (0.5oz) with Glean (0.5 oz) and RangeStar (32 oz).Make sure to use enough of an additive such ascrop oil at 1-2 quarts/acre to help the herbicidepenetrate the thick wooly coat.

Always read and follow the label when usingherbicides.

Corn trade has been flat to higher this week due toprofit taking by market shorts following the light bouncelast Friday. After three days of trade, the weekly netchange is 2 higher on the July contract and December isup 5. The outside market influence continues to directtrade; crude has rebounded this week and is 89 higherfollowing the big May break, the dollar is 180 higher, andthe DOW is 220 lower. Since early May, crude hasdropped over $21, the dollar is up 500 points and is atnew highs, and the DOW is down over 1000 points; neg-ative items should be priced-in, but fund liquidation maycontinue as there is no relief in sight for either the Gulfsituation or the economic struggles in Europe. Continuedrumors over additional Chinese corn imports should sup-port the market, but the charts need to hold up in orderto avoid technical selling. Weather should continue to bethe main market mover over the coming weeks with themacro markets defining the range. Additional rain wasadded to the forecast this weekend, but conditionsremain mostly neutral. There are longer term weatherforecasts voicing concerns surrounding the transitionfrom El Nino to La Nina this summer. The weather statswould suggests that corn yields tend to suffer during thistransition due to a move to drier conditions, but mostanalysts agree that this does not adequately representthe superior new seed genetics. The weekly sales werereported at 1.03 million tons of old crop which was good,but new crop saw net cancelations of 174,000 tons.Combined the sales were toward the low side of expecta-tions. The weekly progress report listed corn plantings inline with expectations at 93% versus the 5-year averageof 89%. Emergence was listed at 71% versus the 62% 5-year average. Crop rating jumped to 71% good to excel-lent, which was $4 above the previous week. Hedgers callwith questions.

Wheat trade has been lower this week due to chartselling and pressure from the higher dollar. After threedays of trade, the weekly net changes are 11 lower inChicago, KC is down 7, and Minneapolis is 6 lower.Seasonally, it is still a little early to push this marketsharply lower, and there are some concerns over proteinlevels with the upcoming crop that will limit downsidenear-term. The overall fundamental situation remainsnegative as commercial end users are still faced withlimited storage options ahead of the fast approachingharvest, but as we have mentioned before, wheat stillholds a net short position, and short covering could stillproduce a quick bounce if friendly information emerges.On the chart, the July Chicago early April low down at$4.60 continues to serve as important chart support,but wheat should remain a follower of the row cropsand outside markets. The weekly progress report list-ed spring wheat plantings inline with the average paceat 91% complete. Emergence was at 70%, 2% ahead ofthe average pace. Winter wheat heading was listed at63% complete, 5% slower than the 5-year average. Thewinter wheat ratings were unchanged from last week at66% good to excellent. The weekly export sales were at148,800 tons of old crop and 336,700 tons of new whichwere within expectations. Hedgers call with questions,continue to look forward at the carry in the futures foropportunities in 2011 and 2012.

July 2010 Wheat (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has been mixed in active trade this weekfollowing the late April into May sell off. Heading intoThursday, the weekly net change is 3 lower on the July con-tract and November was up 3. Meal is $4.30 lower and oilis 89 higher. The chart picture continues to look poor butwe may be finding support due to ideas the negative itemsare priced-in and we still have about half the crop to beplanted. Crush margins have fallen below 20 cents thisweek, which could slow domestic demand pace near-termand limit upside. Export demand may start to slow as welldue to rumors this week that China will lift the soy oil banon Argentina. China is likely finished buying old cropbeans but additional new crop interest could develop espe-cially if China confirms additional corn purchases. Theweekly soybean export sales numbers were only at 175,400tons of old crop and 120,000 tons of new. Weekly meal saleswere a combined 71,400 tons and oil sales came in at only12,900 tons. The export sales were low for the soy complex,so if outside markets remain weak we could still test lowerlevels. There has been support illustrated this weekaround $9 on the November contract, but the weekly salesand poor crush margins are a concern. The weekly progressreport on Monday listed 53% of the beans planted whichwas at the low end of expectations and 4% slower than the5-year average. Emergence was at 24%, 1% ahead of theaverage pace. Plantings will advance this week but addi-tional moisture has been added to the forecast which willkeep some areas slow; the pace should help limit downsidein the beans. Hedgers call with questions

Reach Over 393,000Households with

By Bob Wright, UNL Extension Entomology, andRon Seymour, UNL Extension Educator

Based on USDA APHIS surveys during fall 2009in western Nebraska rangeland habitats, there isa high potential for grasshoppers to be abundantin 2010. Over 100 grasshopper species occur inNebraska; however, only four grasshopper speciescause most damage in yards and gardens. It is nottoo early to begin planning to avoid damage fromgrasshoppers in your yard and garden.

The potential for grasshopper damage increasesas summer progresses. Adults will be more likelyto move into yards and gardens in July andAugust. Severe problems may arise when adjacentagricultural crops or grasslands mature or areharvested and grasshoppers move to find new foodsources.

Grasshoppers show a preference for flowers andsome garden vegetables (e.g. lettuce, beans, sweetcorn), but when populations are high they willfeed on nearly all garden vegetables, as well astrees and shrubs.

There are three stages in the grasshopper lifecycle — the egg, nymph, and adult. The femalelays the eggs in the upper few inches of soil. Eggscan survive extremely cold temperatures.

Hatching time is influenced by temperature,with earlier hatching occurring after a warmspring. The egg hatch for a single species mayextend over a month or more. The earliest hatch-ing grasshopper of concern in gardens begins tohatch about mid May, with others hatching one tothree weeks later.

Young grasshoppers usually feed on the sameplants as the adults. As grasshopper nymphs growthey shed their skin five times and grow larger.Grasshopper nymphs normally reach the adultstage in five to six weeks.

Adult grasshoppers, the only stage to havewings, readily move out of hatching areas andbegin egg laying one to two weeks after becomingadults. Adults live two to three months, dependingon the weather.

Grasshopper Management StrategiesGrasshopper management can be effective and

practical if the area to be protected is relativelysmall and isolated; however, protecting a gardenfrom grasshoppers moving out of a large area ofadjacent grassland or cropland may be impossible.Several strategies can be employed to help man-age grasshopper problems:

The preferred egg-laying and early season feed-ing areas for the grasshopper species of concernare weedy, untilled areas (vacant lots, ditches,poor pastures) with mixed grass and broadleafplants. Dense grass growth or regular tillage ofthese areas will reduce grasshopper numbers.

Where the grasshopper source covers a largearea and outbreak populations are expected, thebest strategy may be to attempt grasshopper con-trol in the surrounding hatching area while thegrasshoppers are small and easily controlled.

Row covers and screens can help protect morevaluable plants, but grasshoppers can eat throughmost fabric screens. Aluminum window screen isthe best option.

Irrigation can be used to keep vegetation in sur-rounding areas green so grasshoppers will notmove into the garden as readily.

Leaving border areas unmowed will delaygrasshopper movement into the yard and garden.Tall grass provides food and shelter for thegrasshoppers.

A border area of attractive plants (e.g. zinnias orsome other lush flower or vegetation) can beplanted around the edge of the garden to attractand hold grasshoppers. Also, these areas can besprayed with insecticide to reduce populations.

Organic gardeners recommend planting cilantroon the border of the garden as a repellant crop, orusing garlic sprays as a repellant.

Chemical control is often the best alternative forquickly eliminating large infestations of grasshop-pers. Adult grasshoppers are difficult to controlwith insecticides due to their size and decreasedsusceptibility to the insecticides. The best time tocontrol grasshoppers is when they are 1/2 to 3/4

inch long. At this time most eggs will havehatched and the young hoppers will be more sus-ceptible to insecticides.

There are many insecticide options available foryard and garden use. Read and follow all direc-tions and precautions on the insecticide label.Most products are formulated in a liquid or mix-able dry formulation, and will be registered foruse on certain vegetables, turf, ornamentals, ornon-crop use. The same active ingredient may befound in numerous different brand name prod-ucts.

The sources of grasshopper infestations (i.e. sur-rounding grasslands, ditches and other untilledareas) should be treated before the larger adulthoppers move out. If homeowners do not own theadjacent areas, they should make arrangementswith their neighbors to spray areas up to 150 feetaround their garden. It this is not possible, theonly option is to use insecticide or repellent spraysto protect as much of the yard and garden as pos-sible. These insecticides will only have a few daysof residual activity and repeated applications willbe necessary. If most grasshoppers are adults, thebest control will be obtained by using the maxi-mum labeled insecticide rates for these products.

Commonly used insecticides for yards and gar-dens include those with the active ingredients ofcarbaryl, malathion and permethrin. Alwayscheck the label for application instructions, ratesand safety precautions. Please contact your localUniversity of Nebraska Extension office for amore complete list of insecticides for grasshoppercontrol in and around the yard and gardens.

A four-day July water and natural resourcestour will examine the challenges of sharing limit-ed water supplies in the North and South PlatteRiver basins in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming.The tour includes a visit to the U.S. Bureau ofReclamation's (USBR) North Platte irrigationproject.

The tour is July 12-15, beginning and ending inKearney. The University of Nebraska-LincolnWater Center, Kearney Area Chamber ofCommerce, Central Nebraska Public Power andIrrigation District and Nebraska Public PowerDistrict jointly sponsor it.

"The tour will take an in-depth look at Northand South Platte River basin issues and how theyaffect Nebraska from a number of perspectives,"said tour co-organizer and host Michael Jess.

Tour stops will be along the North and Southbranches of the Platte River.

"A tour highlight will be visiting the USBR'sNorth Platte Project, which is one of the most his-toric and famous federal impoundment projects inthe western states and something that everyoneinterested in Nebraska water issues needs to see,"said tour co-organizer Steve Ress of the UNLWater Center. "Nebraska, Wyoming and Coloradoare highly dependent on irrigation water andhydropower generated in the North Platte water-shed and are legally tied to sharing its waters."

USBR Project construction began more than 100years ago under then-President TheodoreRoosevelt. Water impounded in its series of reser-voirs irrigates a large swath of cropland in west-ern Nebraska, above Lake McConaughy.

First day stops and topics include progress ofthe Platte River Recovery Implementation

Program, Colorado's Tamarack wildlife area andwater augmentation program, water supply anduse challenges from continuing urbanization ofColorado's Front Range, and allocation of streamflows among irrigators in Nebraska and Wyoming.

There also will be talk of water for wildlife habi-tat, water well moratoriums and efficiency meas-ures and their impacts on generation of hydroelec-tric power.

Afternoon discussion turns toColorado/Nebraska interstate water compacts, avisit to Colorado's Tamarack water augmentationproject for the Platte River and recent water wellshutdowns in eastern Colorado that have leftmany groundwater irrigators high and dry.

Overnight is in Fort Collins, Colo.On the morning of July 13, the tour visits the

U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Centerfor Genetic Resources Preservation at ColoradoState University before driving north throughCameron Pass and over the continental divide onthe way to Wyoming and stops at Seminoe Dam,Fremont Canyon power plant and Pathfinderreservoir, all features of the USBR's North Platteirrigation and hydropower project.

Overnight is in Casper, Wy.The following morning, John Lawson, area man-

ager of the USBR in Mills, Wyo., will explain oper-ations of USBR's North Platte, Kendrick andShoshone projects before the tour proceeds toGlendo reservoir and power plant for a picniclunch and then continues down the North PlatteRiver to Guernsey Dam, near the Nebraska bor-der, which is used to regulate water releases toreservoirs and irrigated lands in Nebraska.

Once in Nebraska, tour participants will hear

from local irrigation district managers and exam-ine the Fort Laramie and Interstate canals, aswell as the Whalen and Tri-State diversion dams.Discussions will include operations in theFarmers Irrigation District, near Scottsbluff, andthe importance of return flows for surface irriga-tors in western Nebraska.

Overnight is in Scottsbluff, where a westernbarbeque near Chimney Rock is planned.

On the tour's last day, July 15, discussion movesinto controlling water-robbing invasive speciesthat choke many reaches of the Platte River. SteveBrill of the Goshen County Weed and Pest ControlDistrict, Torrington, Wyo. and extension educatorGary Stone of UNL's Panhandle Research andExtension Center in Scottsbluff will lead thosediscussions.

The tour then proceeds to Bridgeport for anoverview of North Platte River operations by TomHayden of the Nebraska Department of NaturalResources.

The tour's final stop is in Sidney before return-ing to Kearney.

Cost is $600 single occupancy or $500 doubleoccupancy. Registration includes all food, motel,and motor coach expenses. Registration is throughJennie Dickey at the Kearney Area Chamber ofCommerce at (800) 227-8340. Those interested inattending are encouraged to register soon as thetour is expected to sell-out quickly.

Additional tour sponsors are the Platte RiverRecovery Implementation Program, the universi-ty's Institute of Agriculture and NaturalResources and UNL's School of NaturalResources.

The group names "fading places" and "hiddentreasures" as a way to highlight structures in needof preservation and to bring attention to less-pub-licized historic buildings.

Besides vacant schools and old grain elevators,the group's list of fading places included thethreatened Industrial Arts Building on the oldstate fairgrounds in Lincoln and the eight sculp-tures erected at Interstate 80 rest stops in 1976.

The Industrial Arts Building is slated for demo-lition if a re-use plan isn't submitted by July 1.One of the I-80 sculptures has been put in storagebecause it needs repairs.

Thursday's announcement was made inScribner, Neb., to highlight the naming of the com-munity's historic downtown area to the "hiddentreasures" list.

Other spots on the hidden treasures list: BassettLodge and Range Cafe in Bassett; Bess StreeterAldrich House and Museum, Elmwood; downtownSidney; Flag Creek Bridge near Orleans; MarsHistorical Area near Royal; Meadow GroveFederal Credit Union; Oak Ballroom, Schuyler;Old Great Western Sugar Factory dormitory,Mitchell; "My Antonia" Pavelka farmstead nearBladen; Pavilion Hotel, Taylor; Thorpe OperaHouse, David City; Larsen Tractor Test and PowerMuseum, Lincoln.

The fading places list includes: BethanyPresbyterian Church, Carroll, and churches simi-larly situated statewide; Burton Bank Building,Orleans; Carnegie Library Building, Schuyler;Lodgepole Opera House, and Old Stone House inHarlan County.

"Cathedrals of the prairie"deserve consideration forrenovation and re-use.

Cool, wet weather has caused stripe rust to bewidespread in wheat in south central and south-east Nebraska, a University of Nebraska-LincolnExtension plant pathologist and extension educa-tor say.

A survey of fields in south central Nebraska onMay 18 found stripe rust ranging from low to cov-ering more than 70 percent of the plant, saidDewey Lienemann, UNL Extension educator inWebster County.

Symptoms are ranging from no visible symp-toms to isolated spots showing yellow leaves tolarge affected areas.

"In one field, there was a sharp contrastbetween a susceptible variety and one plantednext to it that appeared to have some resistance,"Lienemann said.

Stripe rust has the potential to cause 100 per-cent loss of a wheat crop, said Stephen Wegulo,UNL Extension plant pathologist in the Instituteof Agriculture and Natural Resources.

"The prolonged cool, wet weather has favoredand continues to favor development and spread ofstripe rust," Wegulo said. "If you see stripe rustin your field, apply a fungicide to protect the flagleaf. Even if the variety you planted is known tobe resistant, it may still be affected by damaginglevels of stripe rust because of the possibility thatthe stripe rust we are seeing may consist of a newrace or races."

If wheat is headed and or is beginning to flower,apply a fungicide that has good to excellent effi-cacy against both stripe rust and Fusarium headblight, or scab.

However, a fungicide application will not beeffective if stripe rust has already progressed tosevere levels, Wegulo said.

"The optimum timing for a fungicide applica-tion is when the disease is just beginning withtrace levels of severity or before disease symp-toms are observed," Wegulo said. "If disease

severity is low to moderate and the top threeleaves are still green, some yield loss will be pre-vented by a fungicide application."

Yield loss also will be prevented by a fungicideapplication only if small areas of a field areaffected by severe stripe rust. In this case, thefungicide will protect the wheat crop that is notyet affected within the field.

Q. Why does the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s Animal and Plant Health InspectionService (APHIS) expect large grasshopper out-breaks in 2010?

A. APHIS’ prediction of heavy outbreaks thisyear in some Western States is based on theunusually high population of adult grasshoppersin these States at the end of the summer of 2009,indicating that a large number of eggs may havebeen laid. If the spring is relatively warm with lit-tle rainfall, conditions could be favorable for egghatching, grasshopper survival, and outbreak-level populations. However, relatively cool andwet weather could limit the potential for out-breaks.

Q. Which States are expected to have theheaviest outbreaks?

A. The States that could see the heaviest out-breaks are Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota,South Dakota, and Wyoming. States with lesssevere outbreaks could include Idaho, Nevada,and Utah.

Q. When will the outbreaks occur?

A. In the States predicted to have the largestoutbreaks, they could begin as early as May, whenthe grasshoppers hatch, and continue throughoutthe summer.

Q. What is APHIS doing to prepare for andrespond to the outbreaks?

A. APHIS stands ready to respond to out-breaks through its Grasshopper and MormonCricket Suppression Program, which has fourcomponents:

• Surveying 17 Western States (Arizona,California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota,Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah,Washington, and Wyoming) to determine the levelof pest threat in specific areas;

• Providing technical assistance to cooperatorsat all levels;

• Supporting treatment efforts when necessarywith available funding; and,

• Conducting education and outreach activities.APHIS began planning survey and suppressionefforts for fiscal year 2010 at the end of last year’sgrasshopper season. However, the extent of the2010 outbreaks will not be known until APHISconducts grasshopper surveys when the eggshatch and the young grasshoppers begin tomature. APHIS’ response strategy will largely bedriven by this survey data.

Surveys in Arizona and New Mexico began inApril, and large-scale outbreaks are not expectedin either State. Surveys in States with the highestlikelihood of outbreaks (Montana, Nebraska,North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming) willbegin in May, when grasshopper hatching begins.As the grasshopper season progresses, APHIS willpost information about outbreaks and the agency’sresponse activities online at www.aphis.usda.gov.

Over the years, APHIS’ grasshopper programhas built a broad coalition with its stakeholders,which includes Federal and State agencies, uni-versities, and private landowners. Over the lastfew months, APHIS has been conducting publicmeetings to inform landowners about thegrasshopper forecast. In preparing for the poten-tial outbreaks, APHIS is also working very closelywith State departments of agriculture, and manycounty weed and pest districts and extensionagents are actively engaged with APHIS officials.Together, APHIS and its partners are laying a

foundation for effective information sharing and arapid response should widespread outbreaksoccur.

Q. What should livestock producers do toprepare for the 2010 grasshopper season?

A. County extension agents are an excellentsource of information regarding local conditionsand should be the first line of contact. Rancherscan work directly with their agents (or weed andpest district directors in some States) to deter-mine whether areas within their lands have highdensities of egg beds—known as “hot spots”—thatshould be treated early. In addition, landownerscan contact APHIS’ Plant Protection andQuarantine (PPQ) program office in their State ifthey require additional information. Contactinformation for PPQ State offices can be foundonline at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/services/report_pest_disease/report_pest_disease.shtml.

Q. How can private landowners requesttreatment assistance from APHIS?

A. Treatment must be requested by a Federalland management agency, State agriculturedepartment, county or local government, privategroup, and/or individual that has jurisdiction overthe land before APHIS can consider treatment.County extension agents can assist in thisprocess. After receiving a request, APHIS officialswould visit the site and assess various factors rel-evant to the infestation to determine whetheraction by APHIS is warranted. These factorsinclude, but are not limited to, the pest species,biological stage of the species, timing of the treat-ment, treatment and chemical options, cost bene!ts of conducting the action, and ecological consid-erations.

Questions and Answers: 2010 Grasshopper Season


Q. How much funding will APHIS contributeto rangeland treatments?

A. The Grasshopper and Mormon CricketProgram operates on a cost-share basis in accor-dance with available funding. APHIS pays for thefull cost of conducting treatments on Federallands, 50 percent of the cost on State lands, andone-third of the cost on privately owned lands.Some States may also contribute to the treatmentof privately owned land.

Q. What kind of treatments would APHISapply to rangeland?

A. APHIS’ preferred treatment method is theuse of difiubenzuron, an insecticide that inhibitsthe growth of the outer skeleton of immaturegrasshoppers and kills them before they reachadulthood. Difiubenzuron would be applied onceaerially in most cases but can also be appliedusing ground-based methods.

It takes a few weeks for difiubenzuron to killimmature grasshoppers. Because difiubenzuronkills grasshoppers before they are mature enoughto lay eggs, treatments applied one year often pro-tect rangeland from outbreaks the following year.Carbaryl and malathion could also be used if con-ditions warrant.

Q. What effect can grasshopper outbreakshave on rangeland?

A. While grasshoppers are natural compo-nents of the rangeland ecosystem, their popula-tions can reach outbreak levels and cause seriouseconomic losses, especially when accompanied bya drought. Grasshopper outbreaks on rangelandimpact ranchers and livestock producers in ruralareas of the Western United States. These out-breaks may destroy 80 percent or more of the for-age in areas as large as 2,000 square miles, forc-ing producers to purchase hay and other feedmuch earlier than in most years. In response,some producers may sell their livestock early or

cease grazing altogether.Both rangeland forage and cultivated crops can

be destroyed by grasshoppers; the damagedepends on where the grasshopper populationsoriginate and where the grasshoppers move to.Many grasshopper outbreaks that originate onrangeland can move into and destroy crops suchas alfalfa, wheat, barley, and corn.

Q. Where can I find more information aboutAPHIS’ Grasshopper and Mormon CricketSuppression Program?

A. You can learn more about the program onAPHIS’ Web site at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_health/ plant_pest_info/grasshopper/index.shtml.

Q. If I have additional questions, whomshould I contact?

A. Please e-mail your questions to grasshop-per- [email protected].

The United States has gone from being a netimporter of ethanol to a net exporter, which willcontinue to help fuel Nebraska's growing ethanolmarket, said Todd Sneller, executive administratorof the Nebraska Ethanol Board.

According to the Renewable Fuels Association(RFA), data from the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, Department of Commerce and theCensus Bureau indicate U.S. ethanol exportsincreased significantly in 2010.

In March, the U.S. exported more than 45 milliongallons of ethanol. For the first quarter of 2010,U.S. exports exceeded 83 million gallons. By coun-try, Canada and the Netherlands were the topimporters of U.S. ethanol. U.S. ethanol is also find-ing its way into Brazil and OPEC nations in theMiddle East.

According to the RFA analysis, one reason forAmerica's surge as a global ethanol trader is itscurrent advantage as the world's low-cost producer.

"Despite the Brazilian ethanol industry's recentattempts to portray its product as always being thecheapest in the world, current prices show Iowaethanol plant-gate ethanol prices are 50 cents pergallon lower than Brazilian ethanol prices," RFAreported. "As recently as February, that spreadexceeded $1 per gallon. By way of example, a gallonof ethanol containing 10 percent ethanol from theU.S. would cost 11 cents less than a similar gallonblended with 10 percent Brazilian product."

Another reason for the growth of U.S. ethanolexports, according to RFA, is the saturated domes-tic market for ethanol.

"Ethanol use in the U.S. is arbitrarily capped at10 percent per gallon of gasoline (E10). Based onhistoric gasoline demand trends, this arbitrary 10percent cap, called the Blend Wall,' would bearound 12.5-13.5 billion gallons of ethanol. TheU.S. industry has the capacity to produce 13.5 bil-

lion gallons annually, with more capacity waiting inthe wings," RFA reported.

But RFA believes limiting domestic ethanol useonly "deprives Americans from the economic andenergy security benefits of a homegrown fuel."

"As long as domestic ethanol usage is restrictedby the regulatory limitation on 10 percent blends,the U.S. ethanol industry will be forced to look tothe global marketplace for new demand sources.And, as a result, Americans will miss out on theopportunity for greater fuel savings and a healthi-er, more secure domestic energy supply," accordingto the RFA analysis.

In Nebraska, completion of two ethanol produc-tion facilities in Aurora and Columbus will increasethe state's ethanol production capacity to 2.2 billiongallons, providing a market for more than 700 mil-lion bushels of corn. Last year, Nebraska's corn croptotaled 1.58 billion bushels. This year, Nebraskafarmers planted 9.2 million acres of corn, up 1 per-cent from 2009.

According to Sneller, Nebraska uses about 50 mil-lion gallons of ethanol within the state, with therest exported for use outside Nebraska.

Sneller said the increase in ethanol exports onlyprovides another market for Nebraska ethanol.

"This concept of value-added agriculture as muchas we have converted corn to beef and exported beefin the past, we see a similar opportunity here toprocess the corn here to a variety of different exportvalue-added products," he said.

In terms of the worldwide energy picture towardmore cleaner burning fuels and low carbon fuelstandards appearing in Europe and other places inthe world, Sneller said, "Our ability to contributethese renewable fuels that meet low carbon fuelstandards on a worldwide basis is an amazing storyin terms of not only ag processing and value-addedconcepts, but just the emergence of how bioenergyis becoming a worldwide industry and not just anovel concept."

Also, there is a growing international market forthe distillers grain that's a byproduct of ethanolproduction. Distillers grain is used for livestockfeed. For every bushel of corn used to make ethanol(about 2.8 gallons per bushel), about 18 pounds ofdistillers grain is produced. Seven hundred millionbushels of corn will produce 12.6 billion pounds ofdistillers grain.

"This is adding significant value to Nebraska'scorn crop and I think it really scratches the surfacein terms of what's possible because we have seen, ina relative short period, a significant trend in addingvalues to these components and developing newproducts," Sneller said.

According to the RFA analysis, the recent surge inU.S. ethanol exports demonstrates that "a trueglobal marketplace for ethanol is emerging andthat supply, demand and price always win out."

"As current dynamics indicate, as long as individ-ual nations' biofuels policies remain consistent andpredictable, the global market will react according-ly and product will be traded efficiently," accordingto the RFA report.

Week to week, the story doesn't change muchas cool temperatures delay growth of newlyplanted crops, and over winter crops such aswheat. While the temperatures restrainprogress, rain continues to fall, making for near-ly ideal growth conditions - if the soil tempera-tures would improve.

According to Jerry Darnell, agriculture man-ager for the Nebraska region of the WesternSugar Cooperative, the biggest sign that there isa problem is that even the weeds are finding itdifficult to grow.

Darnell said about 40 percent of the sugarbeet crop has been replanted. The first of thosereplants are just now emerging, and agricultur-ists continue to evaluate the crop. He said hailin the Pine Bluffs and Wheatland, Wyo., areaslast week had caused some damage.

For corn growers, also, soil temperatures are amajor concern. Some have been in the groundfor a couple of weeks, without signs of growth.Jim Schild, Extension educator at thePanhandle Research and Extension Center atScottsbluff, said that if the cool, moist condi-tions continue, there could be an insect problem.Another possibility is seedling rot, but hopeful-ly, the soil temperatures will turn around, andprevent that.

Schild also noted that if young plants haveemerged, the growing point might be far enoughbelow the ground surface to survive the freezingtemperatures that have been reported through-out the Panhandle and eastern Wyoming. Somecorn in the Alliance area, however, may havebeen damaged if the frost went into the groundwith temperatures in the teens.

by Katie Bradshaw, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

As more and more people have moved awayfrom farms and into cities, and as agriculturaland manufacturing operations have gottenlarger and more impersonal, consumers havebecome disconnected from how the food theybuy is grown or produced.

A newly-launched website, PrairieBloom(prairiebloom.com), is designed to give an eco-nomic boost to the emerging small producers inthe Wyobraska region, inform consumers ofavailable products and revitalize a lost tradi-tion of marketplace communication.

"At a human level throughout the ages," peo-ple knew who produced the food and goods theybought, said website creator Monique Larsen,of Monique Larsen Designs.

Larsen, who has always been interested infood production issues, perceived a growingawareness of locally produced goods and start-ed talking to people.

She heard, "I'd like to buy this locally. That'swhat my folks did back in the day."

But Larsen found that people didn't reallyknow where to go to find locally produced goodswhen the seasonal farmers markets closed.When she talked with producers, she learnedthat they were sometimes struggling to markettheir goods.

She decided to use her skills to createPrairieBloom to connect buyers and sellers inthe region. The website was developed in timeto be promoted at the mid-April Reel EarthFilm Festival at the Midwest Theater.PrairieBloom is a labor of love for Larsen, whohas so far invested 150 hours of unpaid time inits creation and maintenance.

Sandra Scofield, University of NebraskaRural Initiative director, said current trends inagricultural production are divergent: thereare more large agricultural operations andmore smaller landholders making a living sell-ing vegetables and goods for local consumers.

The move to larger operations tends to reducethe need for employees and may contribute torural depopulation. Small entrepreneurs candevelop business and employment opportuni-ties that keep money circulating in the localeconomy.

In economic terms, it's "healthy for sustain-ability anytime you can have a business in arural area," Scofield said.

For small producers, "the biggest challenge ismarketing and distribution," she said.

Scofield was glad to learn about the newPrairieBloom website. She said that collabora-tive marketing and aggregation of regionalproducts can increase the growers' chance ofsuccess. She cited the GROW Nebraska web-site, growneb.com, as another example ofonline marketing and networking that benefits

small, locally owned businesses.PrairieBloom currently provides information

about seven farmers markets and roadsidestands, one Community Supported Agriculturebusiness (where consumers buy "shares" andreceive seasonal produce proportional to theirshare) and where to buy more than 20 specificproducts, including eggs, raspberries, wine andcupcakes. The website also links to local pro-ducers' websites and blogs and includes a blogfeature in which Larsen has been writing aboutlocal products.

Any businesses that produce "homegrown andhandmade" items within the Panhandle / east-ern Wyoming region can be listed onPrairieBloom. There is no charge for inclusion;interested business owners may submit theirinformation through the website.

Larsen envisions two growth areas for thewebsite. She would like local producers to sub-mit posts for the blog that help their customersget to know them and their businesses. Shealso wants to develop a "community portal"where community members who may not haveFacebook accounts or websites can hold anonline conversation, post information, askquestions or trade tips.

Larsen hopes that PrairieBloom will blossominto a community of buyers and sellers who getto know each other and develop a "sense oftrust," just as early settlers and agriculturalproducers in the region once did.

Website Aims to Connect Local Producers, Consumers

by Katie Bradshaw, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

For the tomato aficionado, the taste of store-bought tomatoes trucked in from faraway loca-tions is an abomination.

Outside of a few months in late summer, fresh,flavorful, locally-grown tomatoes are difficult tocome by in western Nebraska.

A federally funded pilot program and a Wyomingdemonstration project are aiming to increase theavailability of locally grown tomatoes and otherfresh produce by encouraging growers to constructhigh tunnels.

High tunnels, also known as hoop houses, areessentially unheated greenhouses - structurescovered with tough, transparent plastic that cap-ture and store heat from sunlight and protectplants from cold temperatures at the beginningand end of the growing season. The structures canalso provide some protection from wind and haildamage.

If the pilot programs and the efforts of entrepre-neurial growers pan out, western Nebraskans willbenefit from better access to healthy, high-qualityfruits and vegetables.

Jeff Edwards, University of Wyoming SoutheastArea extension educator, said data suggest thateach layer of plastic increases the U.S.D.A. hardi-ness zone rating by one, though there are limits.

Edwards is working with New Mexico StateUniversity agricultural specialist Del Jimenezthrough a Wyoming Department of AgricultureSpecialty Crop Block grant to set up high tunneldemonstration projects around the state, includ-ing a structure in Torrington that is 20 feet wide,72 feet long and 13 feet high.

The goal is to show growers, from backyard gar-deners up to farmer's market vendors, how tobuild the structures with locally available materi-als in a "program of thrift" that can cut the cost ofa high tunnel nearly in half as compared to thecost of a kit.

Curtis Cloud, water management specialist withthe Natural Resources Conservation ServiceScottsbluff Field Office, said that an NRCSEnvironmental Quality Incentive Program pilotproject has grant money for high tunnel construc-tion.

NRCS will share the grower's cost of up to 2,178square feet of high tunnel construction. Eligibleproperty must be on irrigated and tilled land withrecords of sale or donation of crops. Growers mustsubmit annual input and yield data for threeyears, and the high tunnel must meet construc-tion standards. For more information about thegrant program in Nebraska, call Cloud at 308-632-2195, ext. 1117. Wyoming growers may call RustySchwartz at 307-532-4880, ext. 123.

Cheryl Averil, general partner at ANC Farm inMorrill, is excited about the possibilities of thehigh tunnel ANC Farm is constructing with NRCSassistance. Averil noted that there is a high tunnelconstruction boom near Morrill, with three areagrowers participating in the pilot program.

The construction of the high tunnel on ANCFarm was a little like an old-fashioned barn rais-ing. They got "two giant boxes of goodies" in themail, and neighbors came over to help raise therafters, "two at each corner," said Averil.

In this first year, "the learning year," Averil saidthey are going to "try to put in a little of every-thing: peppers - both sweet and hot, tomato, okra,

maybe some Chinese cabbage.""If this hoop house thing works ... if produce

comes on like it's supposed to," ANC Farm mayneed to expand its sales beyond the Torringtonand Morrill farmer's markets, she said.

Karen Runkle, co-owner of Lil' LadybugGreenhouse and Gardens in Hay Springs,installed her first high tunnel six years ago andhas since built three more.

Runkle said that some people think they can"just cover the garden and life will be easy," but"there's a lot of learning" that takes place, espe-cially at first.

One challenge of high tunnel construction andmaintenance is the wind that races across thehigh plains.

The installation of the plastic on Edwards'Torrington demonstration project was delayedseveral times because of high winds.

Runkle said that her first high tunnel resiststhe wind the best because it has extra rafters -spaced every 3 feet instead of the typical 4- to 6-foot spacing. She noted that a zippered end wallthat came with a high tunnel kit "didn't last amonth" in the wind, and that the roll-up sidesused to ventilate the tunnels during the heat ofsummer have "given way on the leeward side" afew times. She would like to try drop-down sidesinstead.

"We make mistakes, and we try something new,"Runkle said.

Fifty key dietitians from Kansas, Nebraska,Missouri, New York, Minnesota, Utah, Kentuckyand Pennsylvania, will gather in Kansas CityMay, 26th to 28th, to participate in a seminardesigned to explore the nutritional benefits of beefand other protein-rich foods. The event, ANutrition Adventure: Explore the Power ofProtein, is being coordinated by State BeefCouncils of Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.

During this three-day seminar, scientific, culi-nary and consumer research experts will leaddietitians through an exploration of the “power of

protein” and ways they can employ various cook-ing methods to bring out the best in beef. As anadded side trip, the dietitians will indulge theirsenses with a springtime visit through the FlintHills of Kansas to the Tailgate Ranch (a workingranch in Kansas) and also will hear firsthandfrom a diverse panel of beef producers.

“We are excited to be hosting this event for ourregistered dietitians,” said Kaiti Roeder, RD,LMNT, director of nutrition and education for theNebraska Beef Council and one of the coordina-tors of the event. “This is an excellent opportunity

for these health professionals to embrace the sci-ence of nutrition and food with noted nationalexperts in the field.”

The State Beef Councils designed the NutritionAdventure program to educate key nutrition influ-encers throughout the country about food andnutrition trends. By helping dietitians gain addi-tional knowledge about beef, the State BeefCouncil hopes to promote the importance of pro-tein-rich foods in maintaining a healthy and bal-anced diet among consumers.

Live cattle trade has been lower this week due to out-side market pressure and continued long liquidation.Cash trade developed at $94/$150 on Wednesday whichwas steady to lightly lower versus last week. Additionalbids are poorly defined at this time with most packerslikely to slow buying ahead of the holiday on Monday.The cutout finished lower on Wednesday with choicedown 68 at 166.14 and select was 137 lower at 159.35.Cutout values will likely be flat to lower moving into themonth end and holiday weekend. The current prices pro-vide good packer margins, but the market anticipateslower cutout values and poorer demand. The aggressivefutures profit taking seen this month has likely priced-

in negative information, but additional downside is stillpossible due to continued margin losses. On the chart,the June and August contracts have traded both sides ofthe 100-day this week. Two consecutive closes below thisarea could promote additional selling interest. TheUSDA Monthly Cattle on Feed report last Friday hadthe total on feed numbers in line with expectations at97%, with placements at 102% and marketings justunder the expected 100%. Hedgers call with questions,the market gave us plenty of chances to hedge at higherlevels, now most are trying to pick upside targets tohedge on bounces.

Lean hog trade has been lightly higher this week dueto profit taking by market shorts and spillover supportfrom the outside markets. After three days of trade, theweekly net changes are 20 higher on the June contractand July is up 32. Cash trade has been lower this weekas hog buyers have been anemic following the aggressivebuying that was seen earlier this month. No weekendkill plans have been announced which illustrates thatlive inventories remain adequate and futures are suscep-tible to further downside near term. Hog buyers shouldresume a swifter pace following the holiday on Monday;processing margins are not as attractive as they wereearlier this month, but they are still adequate to supportsteady to higher cash trade. Historically prices are stillvery high even though we are off the recent highs, sohedgers still take note here and get protection in place ifyou have not. Call with questions.

Schedule of Events

According to Schild, most of the corn plantedbefore the cold might make it, but be very slow incoming up.

The area wheat crops are stressed, but in mostcases, should make it, according to Drew Lyon,dryland crops specialist at the UniversityNebraska Panhandle Research and ExtensionCenter. "The big thing is that the crop is behind

schedule," Lyon said last Thursday. "The vastmajority is stressed, and development has slowed.By the last week of May, it should be heading, butit's not."

Lyon said the cool moist conditions could lead todisease issues, but warm wet conditions can leadto disease problems, as well. Stripe rust in Kansasand eastern Nebraska are a concern, but if matu-

rity is delayed, and we have a hot and dry June,that would be more detrimental." That wouldimpact flowering and grain filling.

"Wind is not a major concern at this point," Lyonsaid. "It's the long spells of below normal temper-atures. We would sure benefit from a week of 75degree temperatures, with sunshine and warmth."

CROP GROWTH HAMPERED BY COOL WEATHERContinued from page 16

As the children's attention reverted from thechicks and back to the goats, Lloyd began handingout vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream,all homemade by Lloyd and of course all madefrom goat's milk. Curry received the only contain-er of coffee-flavored ice cream.

On the front porch of Lloyd's Double L Giftshopalong Highway 7 at Brewster sits a freezer. A signcalling to passersby advertises self-service icecream. Both regular varieties and goat's milk icecream are available. A coffee can sits next to theice cream for payment 24/7. The wares of localartisans line the shelves inside the shop.

When her customers find out about the goats,

they often want to see them and Margie is happyto oblige. And when she can, she loads them upand visits area schools. She has approachedschools in Lincoln and Omaha, but was declineddue to administrator's fears of possible allergiesand because of school politics the disconnect con-tinues.

But not in Burwell. As Lloyd began wrapping upher presentation, one kid asked, "Can you stay ahalf hour longer so we don't have to do math?" Thechildren laughed. Lloyd responded by telling thekids to be good, stay in school and learn "every-thing you can."

As the goats were placed back into the box, a boy

asked, "Do you name them?" Lloyd developed awide grin and said, "I used to name them after thepeople in town, but nowadays Brewster's gettingpretty small. So now I name them after peoplethat stop by to see me."

The next question was, "Can you name oneBrandon?" The children laughed again. Despitethe laughter, the newly christened "Brandon thegoat" just snoozed.

As kids again stared and waved from the class-room windows, Lloyd loaded the box of goats intoher back seat and said with a chuckle, "They'recute; people just love 'em, these kids love them, Ilove them, too."

WHAT IF LOCALLY RAISED HOGS SIMPLY DIDN’T EXIST?

www.animalag.orgwww animalag org

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Soybean farmers helping livestock and poultry producers just makes sense.
