HOLDREGE — Some mid-19th centurypioneers who traveled through central Nebraskaon their way to California dreamed of striking itrich by digging for gold.

Meanwhile, the homesteaders who decided tostay found black gold below their feet. The dark,rich Holdrege soils that formed below centuries-old grasslands continue to be the foundation formillions of dollars worth of crops, primarilyirrigated corn and soybeans, planted annually.

The Holdrege soil series exists on 1.8 millionacres in central Nebraska. It first was identifiedas separate from other soil types in a 1917 PhelpsCounty soil survey. The representative soil profileis two miles northwest of the city of Holdrege.

In 1979, the Nebraska Legislature designatedHoldrege silt loam as the state soil.

Mark Kuzila, director of the Conservation andSurvey Division at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, said many states had a state soil, somembers of the Nebraska Society of ProfessionalSoil Scientists sought a similar designation. The

goal was to recognize the importance of soil as avital resource for Nebraska’s No. 1 industry,agriculture.

Seeking the designation of a Holdrege soil wasdone to "put our best foot forward, so to speak,"Kuzila said, because it is so important to highlyproductive irrigated agriculture in south-centralNebraska.

On May 14, a Nebraska State Historical Societymarker erected at the Nebraska Prairie Museumin Holdrege was dedicated, thanks to the efforts ofthe Nebraska Society of Professional SoilScientists, Landmark Implement Inc. and the Tri-Basin Natural Resources District.

So would homesteaders have recognized thevalue of the yet-unnamed Holdrege soils? Kuzilasaid they probably were first attracted to the levelland in south-central Nebraska, which is acomponent of such soils, and the abundant grass.

"Where are the best grasslands growing? Itwould have been on the Holdrege soils," he said.

"A soil series has very specific characteristics ofcomposition and topography," said Tri-Basin NRD

General Manager John Thorburn. There are manysoil series and specific types within each.

Similar soils can be found from state to state,but their common names are different becausethose names come from specific locations.

Elements of a Holdrege soil are a thick, dark-colored topsoil, clay-enriched subsoil and lowerlayer that contains free lime, according to theUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Conservationand Survey Division.

"That dark fertile layer is thicker than in mostsoil types," Thorburn said.

He emphasized that soil and dirt are notinterchangeable. One is complex and the other isa simple component. "Soil is a combination ofparticles, living matter and dead organic matter,"Thorburn said, while dirt or dust is "just themineral fraction."

"It’s just an ideal mix of sand, clay and siltparticles to get that 'loamy' texture to hold waterand still allow it to drain," he said about Holdregesoils.

THE FARMER’S WIFEBy Christy Welch

Mud, Muck, and ChoresThe 10-year-old has added another calf to his

life-saving list. Last Thursday, I came into the house

expecting a clean kitchen and instead foundthe same mess that I left in the morning.

I should explain this.A few years ago, the big kid and I had a little

come to Jesus meeting, whereupon I asked himwhat he did all day besides wash and feed hiscalves.

Nothing much.So, I asked him if I should have to come home

and do all the dishes after working all day.Nope.So, the responsibility of the dishes now falls

on the boys. My husband and I do help outevery once in awhile when their schedules arejust as busy as ours. But for the most part, theboys have the responsibility for keeping thekitchen clean and all the trash taken out of thehouse.

I don’t feel as though we should have “boychores” and “girl chores” in the house,especially since I’m the only girl in the house.

Really, one of my goals in raising the boys isto have happy daughters-in-law. If I can teachthem how to cook and clean for themselves sothey can help take care of the house inpartnership with their spouses, I’ll be a happymom.

The little one’s primary chores are taking outall the garbage in the house and feeding thedogs. He also does quite a good job of sweepingthe floor. A few weeks ago, he not only sweptthe floor, but got out a washcloth and startedspot cleaning the wood floors in the diningroom.

Living on a farm, a lot of dirt and muck getstracked in, and it needs to be spot cleanedquite a bit. I was impressed that he did that onhis own!

Since he’ll be in fifth grade next year, I’llstart to teach him how to clean the bathroom,which will make the big kid happy, since it hasbeen his job for awhile. Everyone cleans theirown.

The big kid has also done his own laundry forquite some time.

The little kid is learning how to do his ownlaundry this year, with supervision, so when

he hits middle school next year he’ll be able todo it on his own.

I was going to wait a little longer, but lastSaturday morning he went into the laundryroom and found I hadn’t done laundry thenight before.

He came out, looked at me and very loudlysaid, “Mom, WHY didn’t you get my laundrydone?”

Yeah, with that attitude, it’s time for you tolearn how to do your own, buddy!

In the first few loads, he’s done a pretty goodjob of not ending up with pink or light bluesocks, but he has to do it under supervision ofsomeone else in the house.

He did two loads of his laundry Mondaynight.

Actually, it was one and a half of his clothes.But, the big kid saw that it was only a half loadand told him he should ask other people in thehouse if they have laundry too.

I think I’m going to keep an eye on that one.The big kid may be planning on “hiring” thelittle kid to do his laundry for a sweat-shopsalary.

Having the kids do so many of their owninside chores may seem harsh to some parents.But I can look forward to the day when Irelease them into the wild, college I mean, andthey will be able to take care of themselves.

And, I won’t have any last minute teaching ofhow to do the laundry, or dishes, or how toproperly clean a kitchen.

So back to the dirty dishes.I was a little upset, but no one was to be

found.About an hour later, they start stomping in,

full of mud and muck.Apparently the little kid had found a calf

that was just born and stuck in the mud. So,all of them worked for quite some time to freethe calf and nurse it back to health.

Then while they were chasing the cow intothe pen to be with the calf the little kid gotstuck in the mud and muck. The other twothen had to work to free him too.

What a mess!But, at least they cleaned it up themselves,

with a little help.

by Lee Pitts

I get a lot of horse sale catalogs and tohear them tell it, none of the horses evertook a wrong step. Just once I’d like to readsomething like this:

Lot #1- Frisbee, a buckskin consigned byTrader Joe. So named because he’s hard tocatch. Sired by Ivan the Terrible and out ofEulogy, a mare who pulled a plow all herlife. A little humpy in the morning andtruly does not like anything on his back.Buy this horse and you’ll soon be doingequestrian feats you never thoughtpossible.

Lot #2- Root Canal, the property of CoyoteCharley. Bay mare sired by the great HorseFace and out of the mare, Boneyard. RootCanal is unregistered, untrained andunwanted, at least around this outfit. Hermother is a full sister to a PRCA horse;that’s right, a PRCA bareback bronc inCotton Rosser’s Flying U Rodeo, to beexact. Feel free to put your kid up on her, ifyour kid can ride like Casey Tibbs.

Lot #3- Orwell, consigned by Kettle BellyBill, this flea bag pinto gelding was born in1984. Hence, the name. Orwell has manyfeatures that aren’t hard to miss includingan overshot jaw, fistulated withers and lotsof color. Yes, lots of chrome but not muchunder the hood on this one. Used in asalesyard for years (pulling the feedwagon.)

Lot #4- Buzzard Bait, a sorrel consignedby Lard Bottom Bob and Single Cinch Sally

out of Sunfisher and sired by a real famoushorse you’ve never heard of. His father hadlifetime career earnings of $12.50. Can’tcatch, can’t shoe and can’t load but we haveshot off him... once. Seems to show apassing interest in cattle.

Lot #5- Old Leather Lip, a roan knotheadconsigned by Alibi Abe. Sired by Write Offand out of a plug named Dishwater. A truekid’s horse, yes, my kid is selling himbecause she needs money for college. Shenever could ride him but your kid might.Would make a good barrel horse, haulingbarrels, that is. Full disclosure: don’t tiethis horse up unless you want a shorter setof reins or your tack room pulled off itsfoundation.

Lot #6- Picasso, A real good looking horseif you are blind in one eye and can’t see outof the other. Consigned by Lying Lucy, thiswhite mare will attract lightning like amagnet. Her dam, Jet Lag, was a real goodsleeper and her sire was called Eleven AndA Half because when you were riding himyou were darn near afoot. This mare nevermakes any sudden moves and is real easy tocatch. She was once clocked at 30 miles perhour, until they unloaded her. Can’t run butshe walks real nice.

Lot # 7- Imelda, so named because shealways needs new shoes. This chestnut wasconsigned by Not Much Land and Livestockwho are only her 15th owner. This barrenmare eats real good and has lots of

experience. You will too when you get herage. She’s a distant cousin to a horse TrevorBrazille once looked at.

Lot #8- Retread, consigned by the bankfor the joint account of Rum Dum Johnsonand Tom the Trader. This palomino is out ofOklahoma by Midnight. Ridden 30 days.Well, not exactly ridden but has been tiedup for that long. Without a doubt, thepoorest example of horseflesh in thiscatalog.

Lot #9- EGAD! This all-around knuckle-head is consigned by the Wild Horse Ranch.He’s already put two people in the hospitaland drove one man to drink and is still ayoung horse. Lots of potential here! Siredby Hammerhead and out of MissUnderstanding. I have drug calves to thefire. Not on this horse, but I have done it.You can go many directions with this horse,mostly up, down and off.

Lot # 10- Mankiller, from Blowhard Bill’sQuarter Horses who acquired this horse ata BLM adoption. You can do it all on him:jump fences, fly off cliffs, and buck so highyou’ll see the rings of Saturn. You name it,he’s done it. He’s listed last in the catalogbecause he’s a home-loving little devil andwe have never loaded him up, so we mayneed a little extra time to get him to theauction come sale day. Don’t miss this one.

Sandra Hansen, The Scottsbluff Star-Herald

Area alfalfa growers are rushing to get theirfirst cutting out of the field, hoping to beat thehail, weevil and any other pests that mightthreaten the crop that has had a rough start.Producers need to watch closely for any sign ofpests or disease.

Jeff Bradshaw, UNL Extension entomologist atthe Panhandle Research and Extension Center inScottsbluff, cautioned growers to remain alert topotential damage.

“I have been to a couple alfalfa fields in thevalley and in Box Butte County and have not seenmuch evidence of alfalfa weevil emergence yet.However, it wouldn’t surprise me that there aresome fields that are being hit hard. Over the pastcouple years there have been producers that havecontacted me after the damage becomes obvious.

“This is too late,” Bradshaw said. “Whatproducers need to do is to scout or have their fieldsscouted. My hope is that producers would have

already started an active scouting schedule fortheir alfalfa because of its value and because ofthe threat we had of army cutworm damageearlier this year.

“Producers need to take care to continue to scouttheir alfalfa fields after first cutting because inwestern Nebraska there can be a second flush ofweevils after first cutting,” he said, noting thatother than alfalfa weevil, there are no otherinsects of concern in alfalfa at this time.

He suggests producers check the UNLCropWatch website for guidelines for determiningeconomic infestations.

According to the Nebraska June 2 USDA cropreport (latest available at press time), 41 percentof the crop was listed as in good condition, with 38percent fair, 15 percent poor, and 3 percent each,very poor and excellent. The Wyoming crop waslisted as 51 percent good, 31 percent fair, 12percent excellent, 6 percent poor, and none in thevery poor category.

Nebraska’s first cutting was 9 percent completeat that time, well behind last year’s 84 percentand an average of 41 percent. There was no reporton Wyoming’s first cutting.

However, scattered hail storms have beentaking a toll on production.

Wyoming pasture and rangeland are rated at 30percent good, 34 percent fair, and 30 percent poor.The five-year average is 10 percent poor, 24percent fair, and 56 percent good. Forage supplieswere not listed for Wyoming.

Nebraska pasture and range conditions arelisted as 26 percent very poor, 32 percent poor, 28percent fair, 13 percent good. Hay and otherforage supplies are rated 35 percent very short, 40percent short, 24 percent adequate and 1 percentsurplus.

Recent rains have eased the pressure on feedsupplies, allowing some livestock producers tohold cattle that otherwise would have been sold.

Alfalfa Producers Need to Remain Vigilant

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack announced June 4 that thenomination period for local Farm Service Agency(FSA) county committees begins on Monday, June17.

"I encourage all eligible farmers and ranchers toparticipate in this year's county committeeelections by nominating candidates by the August1 deadline," said Vilsack. "County committees area vital link between the farm community and theU.S. Department of Agriculture and provide anopportunity to farmers and ranchers for theiropinions and ideas to be heard. We have beenseeing an increase in the number of nominationsof women and minority candidates and I hope thattrend continues.”

To be eligible to serve on an FSA countycommittee, a person must participate or cooperatein a program administered by FSA, be eligible tovote in a county committee election and reside inthe local administrative area in which the personis a candidate.

Farmers and ranchers may nominatethemselves or others, and organizationsrepresenting minorities and women also maynominate candidates. To become a candidate, aneligible individual must sign the nomination form,FSA-669A. The form and other information aboutFSA county committee elections are availableonline at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/elections.Nomination forms for the 2013 election must bepostmarked or received in the local USDA Service

Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2013.Elections will take place this fall.

While FSA county committees do not approve ordeny farm ownership or operating loans, theymake decisions on disaster and conservationprograms, emergency programs, commodity pricesupport loan programs and other agriculturalissues. Members serve three-year terms.Nationwide, there are about 7,800 farmers andranchers serving on FSA county committees.Committees consist of 3 to 11 members that areelected by eligible producers.

FSA will mail ballots to eligible votersbeginning Nov. 4. The voted ballots are due backto the local county office either via mail or inperson by Dec. 2. Newly elected committeemembers and alternates take office on Jan. 1,

Joseph Morton, The Omaha World-Herald

WASHINGTON, D.C. — They aren't wildabout everything in the legislation, but both ofNebraska's Republican senators voted in favorof a new five-year farm bill that would expandgovernment subsidies for crop insurance, riceand peanuts while making small cuts in thefood stamp program.

The $100 billion-a-year bill would eliminatethe much-maligned direct payments, subsidiespaid every year whether the recipients farm ornot. The bill's total savings come to about $2.4billion a year.

"While this isn't the farm bill I would havedrafted, it's better than no farm bill at all,"said Sen. Mike Johanns. "Our ag producerswork hard to provide food, fuel and fiber forAmericans and for the rest of the world. Wehave a responsibility to give them thecertainty they need to continue feeding agrowing population."

The legislation passed 66-27, but supportersof the bill have been here before. The Senateeasily passed a five-year farm bill lastsummer.

That legislation withered on the vine in theHouse, which declined to take up thelegislation. Many Republican members balkedat the price tag and demanded further cuts tonutrition assistance programs, commonlyreferred to as food stamps, that constitutemore than 80 percent of the spending in thebill.

Sen. Deb Fischer said she supported the billdespite the failure of amendments that wouldhave further trimmed those nutritionprograms.

"Failure to pass this legislation would causeAmerica's agriculture policies to revert back tothose of the World War II era — an untenableposition for hardworking Nebraskans

competing in a competitive global market," shesaid.

Both Iowa senators, Republican ChuckGrassley and Democrat Tom Harkin, alsosupported the legislation. Grassley said hethinks this version could fare better in theHouse.

And there is reason to hope.Despite his personal reservations about the

legislation, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Monday that the House willconsider its own farm bill this month.

Still, there remains a great deal ofresistance on that side of the hill to thespending on food stamps.

The bill approved by the House AgricultureCommittee last month would make larger cutsto food stamps than the Senate version. TheSenate bill would cut the food stamp program,now known as the Supplemental NutritionAssistance Program, or SNAP, by about $400million a year, or half a percent. The Housebill would cut the program by $2 billion a year,or a little more than 3 percent, and make itmore difficult for some people to qualify.

In his statement Monday, Boehner signaledsupport for the House's food stamp cuts,saying they are changes that "both partiesknow are necessary."

Other Republicans are expected to offeramendments to expand the cuts, setting up apotentially even more difficult resolution withthe Senate version.

This report includes material from theAssociated Press.

Senate Approves New Farm Bill; Now Ball is in House's Court

In the past decade, Nebraska overtookCalifornia as the state with the highest numberof irrigated acres in the country.1 Nebraska hasmore than 8.5 million acres of irrigated land,relying primarily on the groundwater from theOgallala Aquifer for its irrigation. The primarymethod of irrigation in the state is with centerpivot systems — a technology which wasinvented and developed in Nebraska, with allthe major center pivot manufacturingcompanies headquartered there. As of 2007,nearly 80 percent of the irrigated land inNebraska used center pivot systems; and thispercentage continues to grow as gravityirrigated land (which can be converted) ischanged over to this technology.

Efficiency is the reason behind thepredominance of this center pivot technology,and that comes in several different components.

— Labor Efficiency: According to the 2013University of Nebraska-Lincoln Nebraska CropBudget series, the labor associated withrunning gravity irrigation on corn will averageone and three-fourth hours per acre while laborassociated with irrigating the same crop using acenter pivot system will be less than one-thirdhour per acre.2 At a labor charge of $20 perhour, that converts to a production cost savingsapproaching $30 per acre.

— Water Efficiency: With the newer centerpivot technology (drop nozzles with precisionapplication monitoring, etc.), producers can getmore than 90 percent of the water pumped tothe crop’s root zone, as compared with 50 to 55percent application efficiency levels withgravity systems. Moreover, there is greateruniformity of application across the field withcenter pivot systems. In short, center pivottechnology can essentially double water useefficiency.

— Energy Efficiency: Associated with thewater efficiency, there is considerable energy

HASTINGS — Next week, when you see a lot ofpickup trucks with out-of-county license plates,young people in boots, hats and jeans, withsaucer-sized buckles, and cowboy hats, you'llknow the high school rodeo is in town.

This is the eleventh year that the Adams CountyFairgrounds has hosted the Nebraska High SchoolFinals Rodeo.

The high school finals is the state championshipfor Nebraska High School Rodeo, and the topthirty rodeo athletes in each of eleven eventsqualify to compete June 20-22 in Hastings. Afterfive rodeo performances, the top four finishers ineach event are determined and go on to theNational High School Finals Rodeo in RockSprings, Wyo. in July.

The finals rodeo consists of four rodeoperformances, two each on June 20 and 21, and afinals performance on June 22. Families startarriving on June 19, and stay for the entireweekend, bringing their horses along.

The Adams County Fairgrounds has plenty ofcamping sites and hook-ups, so is able to host theapproximately 190 families who come to the event."The facilities fit well," says Bump Kraeger, boardmember with the Nebraska High School Rodeo

Association. "There are lots of places to parktrailers, and the stalls are an advantage."

High school finals rodeo chairman JudyMignery, who lives in rural Hastings, says thatthe success of the finals can be credited to thevolunteers.

"People know what they're supposed to do," shesaid of the volunteers.

"There's no way it could go on withoutvolunteers. For example, you look up, and there'sDarrel Stromer, running the south gate. He says,'it's just my job,' and that's really great."

Mignery and the committee also work to keepthe event fresh and provide fun things for the kidsto do each night. "Each year, we add new thingsand get rid of the stagnant things. This year, we'vereplaced the volleyball tournament with anevening at the shooting range." Other nightlyentertainment includes a night at the waterparkand at the YMCA.

Tickets for the high school finals rodeo are $6.Performances are at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on June 20and 21, with the finals on June 22 at 1 p.m. TheMiss Nebraska High School Rodeo Queen iscrowned prior to the June 22 rodeo. For moreinformation, call the Adams Co. Fairgrounds at402-462-3247 or visit the website atAdamsCountyFairgrounds.com.

June 13, 2013 Nebraska Farm & Ranch - Government

Keeping Regulators Accountableby Senator Mike Johanns

As I travel throughout Nebraska, I consistentlyhear from small business owners, in a variety ofindustries about the seemingly endless string ofgovernmental red tape preventing businessexpansion and job growth in America. With newregulations, come new compliance costs andsometimes inefficient operational changes. Often,federal agencies propose rules without a definitivetime frame, which raises unanswered questions forfolks who want to comply with important standards,but are given little detail about how and when theywill be required to act. In other instances, federalagencies try to impose overreaching new regulationswith little or no discussion and lightning speed. All ofthis decreases productivity and the possibility fornew jobs in a market struggling to regainmomentum.

Some regulations are necessary to ensure a fairmarket and safe workplace, but when federalagencies go too far, they place unnecessary burdenson those who create jobs and grow the economy. Manyjob creators will tell you they must already siftthrough mountains of new and pending regulations.The last thing they need is government officialsissuing more binding decisions without the properauthority. But according to two federal circuit courts,

that’s exactly what’s happening at the NationalLabor Relations Board (NLRB), which issuesdecisions related to businesses’ labor practices.

In January, the U.S. District Court of Appeals forthe D.C. Circuit unanimously ruled that PresidentObama’s attempt in 2012 to fill vacancies on theNLRB without the advice and consent of the Senatewas unconstitutional, stating that, “allowing thePresident to define the scope of his ownappointments’ power would eviscerate theConstitution’s separation of powers.” Theadministration and the NLRB ignored the court’sdecision, saying they would continue issuing rulesand decisions that affect businesses across thenation. Last month, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court ofAppeals agreed with the January ruling in a differentcase.

It’s clear to me that if the NLRB’s unconstitutionalappointees lack the authority to serve, then they lackalso the authority to issue new requirementsimpacting business productivity and job creation. Asthe administration and NLRB continue to ignore thisreality, the board’s ongoing decisions will furtherexpand a cloud of uncertainty for Americanbusinesses and job creators.

Last week, I joined my fellow Senate Republicansin asking the Supreme Court to weigh in on both thelegitimacy of the non-recess appointees and all of thedecisions they’ve issued. We submitted an amicusbrief detailing the constitutional questions raised bythe President’s so-called appointments, and theboard’s actions, which should be invalidated if theSupreme Court agrees with the circuit courts’decisions. It’s time we provide clarity to businessesand job creators so they don’t waste time andresources complying with decisions made byindividuals who lacked the very authority to issuerulings.

In addition, I have sent multiple letters to the so-called appointees advising them to step asidefollowing both circuit courts’ rulings. The sooner weget this sorted out, the sooner businesses and theiremployees will have greater certainty so they cancontinue growing the economy and creating morejobs, which is exactly what this country needs,instead of expending time and money complying withillegitimate regulations.

Without action, millions of recent college graduatesand other borrowers could see the interest rates ontheir student loans double on July 1 of this year. Toprevent this problem, House Republicans passedH.R. 1911, the Smarter Solutions for Students Act, along-term solution to stop the rate hikes next month,and to get politicians out of the business of settingstudent loan interest rates.

In 2007, Congress arbitrarily lowered interestrates on subsidized Stafford Loans to undergraduatestudents from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent. However,this action was only temporary and was set to expirein 2012. Last year, Congress agreed to extend the 3.4percent interest rate on these loans for one yearwhile a long-term solution was worked out.

I opposed the 2007 bill because there are numerousproblems with allowing Congress to set interest rateson student loans. By doing so, these rates can beused as political bargaining chips causinguncertainty for borrowers about whether Congress is

going to act in time to prevent a rate hike. The costsof higher education should not be subject to campaignpromises and the whims of Washington.

A market-based interest rate for student loans is abetter long-term policy for borrowers and taxpayers.The Smarter Solutions for Students Act would resetall Stafford and PLUS loan interest rates once a yearbased on a 10-year Treasury note. Importantly, thelegislation also would cap the interest rate forStafford and Plus loans at 8.5 percent and 10.5percent, respectively.

In addition to providing greater certainty forstudents, the Congressional Budget Office estimatesthis bill would save the federal government $990million during the next five years and $3.7 billionduring the next 10 years. The American Council onEducation estimates while H.R. 1911 would raiseslightly the rate for subsidized loans, the bill wouldresult in lower rates for unsubsidized Stafford andparent PLUS loans.

This is not a partisan issue. The President’s fiscalyear 2014 budget includes a similar proposal to moveto a market-based interest rate, signaling a growingconsensus this is a better approach for students,families, and taxpayers.

While there are some differences between our billand what the President has proposed, the House hasagreed to most of what the White House hasrequested. Rather than hold out for everything hewants, the President should use his leverage toencourage the Senate to pass a bill. Then the Houseand Senate can work out our differences and preventthese arbitrary rate hikes on millions of Americans.

By taking politicians out of the student loaninterest rate equation, we would serve the interestsof borrowers and taxpayers, and prevent futureshowdowns which jeopardize the cost of highereducation. Hopefully, we can all agree on this goal.

This week, severe weather warnings and alertswere issued across the state. Eastern Nebraskaexperienced flooding from heavy rain, while hail,high winds, and tornadoes swept across central andwestern Nebraska.

The recent horrific tornadoes in Oklahoma remindus that natural disasters aren’t just heartbreakingnews stories quickly forgotten, but rather areenduring challenges for the impacted families andcommunities.

Lives are tragically lost; homes, neighborhoods,and communities are destroyed; and preciousbelongings and beloved keepsakes are wiped away.

Our thoughts continue to be with the victimsrecovering from these recent tragedies. We hope andpray that these disasters do not occur, but in the caseof severe weather, we must be prepared – asindividuals and as a Nation - for all possiblescenarios.

Each year, Congress provides money for theDisaster Relief Fund to provide assistance to storm-ravaged communities designated by the President asdisasters. Recently, the amount appropriated for theDisaster Relief Fund has rarely been enough toprovide sufficient aid. In 18 of the past 25 years,supplemental appropriations bills have beennecessary to offer additional funding for disasterassistance.

The problem in these cases is that the money forunexpected disaster relief is treated as “emergencyspending,” meaning it is spending outside of what isalready allocated for the fiscal year. This funding is

not required to be offset by spending reductionselsewhere. Unfortunately, these bills have alsoserved as vehicles for unrelated, sometimes wasteful,spending.

For example, Congress recently approved $60.4billion in supplemental funding for disaster relief forMid-Atlantic states affected by Hurricane Sandy.While there were immediate and legitimate reliefefforts that were needed, millions of taxpayer dollarswere spent on extraneous government projectstypically approved in the normal appropriationsprocess.

Over $300 million dollars was allocated to supportAmtrak, without a specific plan for how this moneywould be spent. Despite the fact that NASA called thedamage from the hurricane to its facilities “minimal,”the agency received $15 million for repairs. As manyvictims of Hurricane Sandy in New York and NewJersey were still in need of shelter, the legislationappropriated $2 million to repair damaged roofs ofmuseums in Washington, D.C.

Additionally, 64 percent of the “emergency”spending in the bill is not slated to be spent fornearly two years; clearly such funding is not foremergency relief, but instead serves other purposes.

The result? Over the past 25 years, supplementalappropriations for disaster relief have added nearly$150 billion to the national debt.

I believe providing disaster relief assistance to ourfellow Americans is a core duty of a limitedgovernment. This responsibility should be carried outin a fiscally responsible manner that effectively

provides aid to communities and people in need andensures taxpayer dollars are spent wisely. To beeffective, the money designated must be specificallytargeted, and it must be timely.

Though it does have an important role in relief andrecovery, the responsibility of disaster preparednessshould not rest solely on the federal government.Nebraskans understand this reality, having beentested by droughts, fires, floods and tornadoesthroughout the course of our state’s history. Toprevail against severe weather, we prepare ourselves,our land, and our livestock.

Another way to prepare for severe weather is to beknowledgeable. I encourage all Nebraskans to takeadvantage of the many safety and preparednessresources available in our state. The NebraskaEmergency Management Agency has a Severe StormsGuide to Survival available for tips on how to monitorimpending weather conditions.

Recently, I traveled to Fort Kearny’s American RedCross chapter. Among many of the organization’shelpful safety services, I learned about the mobilephone apps the Red Cross has created specifically foremergency planning. These apps are offered fordownload so their users can be equipped with safetytips, guidelines and means of communication duringa severe storm.

While there is little we can do to control theweather, it is important that we do what is in ourcontrol: have a plan and be prepared.

July 13 Dec. 13Support: 629 516Resistance 685 571

Corn trade has worked lower after the June monthlyUSDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.For the week July corn futures are 16 lower, and Decembernew crop is 20 lower. The marketplace is more comfortablewith the planting progress and the condition of the crop; theUSDA only made minor downside production adjustmentswhen the market was expecting greater reductions. On thecharts July futures have chart support at $6.40 and resist-ance at $6.70, then $6.81 where we find the 100-day movingaverage. December futures filled the gap left at $5.37-41 andis trading in that area for right now, and have resistance at$5.73 on a rebound if that would occur. The 200-day at $5.93would be the next upside resistance chart level, but rightnow we see little reason for support to hold based on nonethreatening forecasts. This means new lows could be in thecards soon. The weekly progress report on Monday placedcorn planting progress at 95%, which is just a step behindnormal, but we are beyond prevent plant dates in all loca-tions now. Emergence was 85%, which is behind normal, andthe second crop condition report pegged good to excellent at63% unchanged on the week, with improvement in the eastand declines in the central areas. The weekly export inspec-tion report was low at 6.5 million bushels. Ethanol produc-tion was slightly lower on the week, while inventories fellback to multi-year lows. Weekly export sales numbers werepoor, with a combined 150,500 metric tons with very littlenew crop business. The USDA report listed old crop carry-over at 769 million bushels versus 759 last month and anaverage trade guess of 748, making it lightly bearish. Thenew crop carryover was 1.949 billion versus 2.004 lastmonth and an average trade guess of 1.758 billion makingthe report quite bearish. World ending stocks came in at124.31 million metric tons for old crop versus the 125.7expected and new crop was 151.83 versus the 150.5 expect-ed which was slightly supportive for old crop. We are in aweather market, our thought is the crops should look betterover the next week giving little reason to buy. Freight ratesare cheap, so slipping futures prices could help find someexport business. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade has ground back to the low end of therecent range as better weather, harvest pressure, andweak row crop action work against it. For the week,Chicago wheat is 13 lower, KC wheat is 19 lower, andMinneapolis wheat is 13 lower. Export inspections weregood at 24.6 million bushels. Export sales were a net427,200 metric tons which was near the lower end ofexpectations. Wheat conditions were mostly steady onthe week, we have 42% of the winter wheat crop ratedpoor to very poor and good to excellent is only at 32%.Spring wheat was 87% planted with prevent plant datespassed. Russian weather has improved but a portion ofthe crop still has some stress. Rains have bolstered somehard wheat, but it may be too late in many areas to domuch good as early harvest gets under way. Concernsabout unapproved varieties making their way into theexport channel off the Pacific Northwest have gottenAsian importing nations to pull their bids until theinvestigation is complete. The new crop world wheat car-ryover was 186.38 million metric tons. The domestic newcrop carryover came in at 659 million versus 670 lastmonth and 746 million last year.

July 2013 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has continued its volatile trade, withtrade touching new highs and firming the bull spreadsagain. The weekly change is 12 higher on July and 15lower on new crop November. July meal is $9 a ton high-er and bean oil is 42 points higher on the week. Julybeans have support at $15.25, and resistance in the$15.60 range. Basis has started to firm again. Chineseimports are up, but there remains concern about demandcoming forward. Planting progress was pegged at 71%complete which was slightly below expectations andemergence was at 48%. A good chunk of the wettest areasare opening up this week. The weekly export sales wereok with 33,500 metric tons of old crop and 447,100 ofnew crop sales, 145,200 of combined meal new and oldsales and 13,200 of soy oil. Shipments were slow at 3.08million bushels. The domestic crush margins are stillsolid enough to support solid use into summer, and thetrade will soon find out if we have rationed enough tomake it through the summer. The trade will continue todebate soybean acres with acres rolling over from corn,and how many double crop acres the trade will losebehind a slow wheat crop. On the WASDE report, domes-tic carryover was unchanged as expected at 125 millionbushels, which is looked at as pipeline supplies. Newcrop carryover was also unchanged at 265 millionbushels versus expectations of 273. World old crop carry-over was 61.21 million metric tons and new crop 74.96.Both numbers were slightly below expectations but his-torically comfortable stocks numbers. Hedgers call withquestions.

HOLDREGE SILT LOAM KNOWN...Continued from page 1

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

Sandy soils allow water to quickly percolate intothe groundwater, while clay soils will hold water.Holdrege soils are "a happy medium," he added.

Other characteristics of a Holdrege soil includehigh fertility and a location on tableland, which isthe best topography to grow crops. Thorburn saidthe generally flat land and water holding-releasing abilities mean Holdrege soils, bydefinition, are not highly erodible.

"Most likely, you won’t see Holdrege soils on asteep hillside or in the (sandy) Platte Valley, forthat matter. Good soils combined with leveltopography combined with irrigation is why thisarea is one of the most productive areas of theplains," he said, adding that good stewardship byag producers also is a key element of that success.

Tyler Williams, a UNL Extension educator inPhelps and Gosper counties, said Holdrege soilsalso are good for dryland production of wheat andalfalfa because of their water holding-waterreleasing properties.

"We’re pretty lucky to have the soil and theaquifer," he said. "… That’s why we’re soprosperous right now."

Thorburn said Holdrege soils in the WesternCorn Belt are different from soils in more easterncorn-producing states in one significant way.

"This area was never covered with glaciers, soyou don’t have the stones or other debris left fromglaciers," he said. The origins of south-centralNebraska soils fit the "loess" definition as wind-blown silt that had been ground up by glaciers andwashed out by them, he explained.

When homesteaders first plowed the grasslands,they were "mining" the soil’s natural nutrients.Artificial fertilizer provided some of those lostnutrients, Thorburn said, and now no-till farmingpractices are helping restore the organic matter tothe soil structure.

The Prairie Museum on the north edge ofHoldrege was an obvious location when the soilscientists decided to lead the effort to get anhistorical marker. "They wanted to commemoratethe state soil and Phelps County was the obviousplace to do it," Thorburn said.

Laura Bernero, The Hastings Tribune

EDGAR — Darrel Springer knows that being agood farmer isn't much different than doing whatit takes to be a good football team.

It requires dedication, perseverance,conditioning and — most of all — ''it'scompetitive,'' the Clay County native said.

So when a linebacker of a storm chargedthrough Springer's farmland near Edgar lastweek, tearing up a defensive lines of trees andirrigation equipment in its path, the high schoolfootball player in him was reawakened.

''The weather won't win,'' he told the HastingsTribune. ''We're fighting back.''

Springer's comeback efforts were empoweredby 15 players and five coaches from the HastingsCollege football team, who came out to help withdebris pickup Monday. They helped Springer andhis neighbors haul twisted metal, crumpledirrigation equipment and wood debris from fieldsthat were hit by a tornado that clipped throughthe town on Memorial Day.

Springer says the corn-growing cycle wasalready a month behind this year because of thelate spring planting season, and that the 10pivots he lost to the tornado won't hinder theprocess much further. The most frustrating part,he said, is the number of times he has had tocompete against the elements.

In the last 10 years, Springer has experienceda handful of tornados and severe storms thathave toppled pivots and damaged grain bins.Last week's storm, he says, was one of the worst.

''It seems like since 2004, I've been through theringer with storms,'' he said. ''But the farm hasbeen in my family since 1902. It's a part of us.That's not something you just give upon.''

And the Broncos made sure that, in return forSpringer's booster support for their program,they wouldn't give up on him in his time of need,either. The team is in week six of its summer

workout program and took time out of its regularschedule to lift debris instead of weights.

''This counts as our lifting and conditioning,''said Quincy Johnson, a Oklahoma City nativewho is staying in Hastings to work for thesummer

Johnson and two other players from Monday'scleanup crew are from Oklahoma and witnessedsevere weather just two weeks ago when visitingtheir homes.

Sophomore Darren Colquitt was driving hometo Oklahoma City on May 19 when he saw atornado forming just outside the city.

''I saw it from my car,'' he said. ''We grew upwith a lot of storms, but it's always a littlefreaky.''

Steven Dunham, also from the Oklahoma Cityarea, said he and his parents had to duck in theirbathroom during the May 19 storm and knewfriends and family members who sufferedproperty damage.

The trio said that helping Springer and hisneighbors hit close to home.

''It's important to give back to this community,and to get to know the people here in Nebraska,''Dunham said. ''We know how tough this can be.Plus, it's a good way for us guys to get to knoweach other better.''

Although the Oklahoma City natives haveexperience with tornado weather, many membersof the team were shocked by the damage theysaw Monday. Many of them grew up in biggercities where property damage would be the mostnoticeable blow after a tornado. When there aremore pivots down than properties, it gives theplayers a different perspective, said Broncooffensive coordinator Joe Holtzclaw.

''For most of our guys, it's hard to conceptualizewhat a cornstalk is worth,'' he said. ''We havesome farm kids on the team, but most are fromthe city where you pray for tornados to go out to

Breeding Cows in ConfinementKarla H. Jenkins, UNL Cow/Calf, RangeManagement Specialist and Rick Funston, UNLBeef Reproductive Physiology Specialist

As summer approaches many areas in Nebraskaare at 60-70 percent of normal rainfall for thistime of year. Due to the soil moisture deficit of the2012 drought, producers need to reduce 2013stocking rates by 20-30 percent and delay turnoutas long as possible to allow pastures to recover.For some producers this may mean confining atleast a portion of the cow herd through breedingseason. When breeding in confinement, severalfactors need to be considered. Research has shownoverall conception rates are higher when cows areon an increasing plane of nutrition just before andduring breeding. Increasing the energy density ofthe diet can be done by increasing the amount offeed or increasing the percentage of an energydense feed such as distillers grains, corn glutenfeed, soyhulls, sugar beet pulp, or even silage.Cows will need about 2 feet of bunk space per head

and if the calves are still with the cows, they willneed about 18 inches of bunk space. When bullsare added to pens with cows being limit-fed energydense diets, producers need to make sure there isbunk space for the bulls (at least 2 ft/hd) and thatan adequate amount of the diet is added for thebulls. Depending on the size and condition of thebull, 15-18 lbs. of TDN (total digestible nutrients)are required. For help balancing rations forconfined cows and bulls, contact the local countyextension office. For more information on feedingcows in confinement, visit http://beef.unl.edu.

An advantage of having cows in confinement isthe relative handling ease for implementingsynchronization and/or artificial insemination(AI) strategies. Estrus synchronization hasapplication for both AI and natural service as away to improve profitability of the cow-calfenterprise. If producers synchronize their heifersor cows and use AI or natural service, more cowswill calve earlier in the calving season. If a cowcalves within the first 21 days of each calving

season the first nine years of her life, she willhave the equivalent of one and a half to two morecalves than her later-calving counterparts. Inputcosts are similar; however, output can vary greatlydepending on when calving occurs during thecalving season. Calves born early in the calvingseason have greater weaning and carcass weights,greater marbling scores and quality grades, andheifer first pregnancy rate is greater compared tolater born contemporaries. Synchronizationsystems can be as simple as turning bulls in andinjecting prostaglandin to all beef heifers or cowsfive days later. This system is very effective incycling beef females. More complex systemsfacilitate timed AI and protocols to induce cyclicityin non-cycling beef females. Producers can reviewsynchronization and other reproductivemanagement information on the AppliedReproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle website athttp://beefrepro.info.

Bruce Anderson, UNL Forage Specialist

Don’t Plant Summer Annuals Too EarlyOnce corn, beans, and other crops are all

planted, it's natural to be anxious to plant yoursummer annual forage grasses. But don't rush.Too early is bad for these crops.

Summer annual forage crops — likesudangrass, millets, cane, teff, and sorghum-sudan hybrids — are hot weather crops. Andwhen I say hot weather, that means not onlythat they grow best in hot weather, it alsomeans they can be injured or even permanentlystunted by cool weather.

So, even though you might finish otherplanting and it seems like summer is alreadyhere, don't plant summer annuals too early.

Always wait to plant summer annual foragegrasses — any summer annual forage grass —until soil temperature will remain permanently

above 60 degrees. And soil should be at least 65to 70 degrees for the millets and teff. Late Mayat the earliest, early June in many cases.

Not only that, air temperature also mustremain warm, even at night. If either soil or airtemperature gets too cold some summer annualgrasses can be stunted permanently, no matterhow nice the growing conditions are later on.

True sudangrass might tolerate cooltemperatures best of all the summer grasses. Idon't know the exact limits, but if soil staysabove 55 degrees and air temperature gets nolower than 40, I think sudangrass eventuallywill recover from the cold stress. On the otherhand, millets and some forage sorghums maynever snap out of the stress caused by a 45,maybe even a 50 degree night.

So don't rush to plant summer annualgrasses. Even if they don't get stunted, the fewdays you gain for earlier grazing is pretty small

compared to the risk of losing much of theirgrowth potential.

Using Grazing To Control Pasture WeedsPasture weeds are a problem for many of us.

It’s a challenge to control or prevent them inthe first place.

If you have weedy pastures, first ask yourselfWhy? Nearly always the existing forage standwas not thick or vigorous enough to out-compete invading weeds. So the next step inpasture weed control must be to managepastures so they can be competitive. That mayinclude fertilizer, extra seeding, and especiallywell-managed grazing.

Once weeds become a problem, though,control strategies must be used. One techniqueis to heavily stock a pasture, maybe with a ten-

Receipts: 11,351 Last Week: 5,657 Last Year: 8,500 Compared to last week, steers over 600 lbs and all weights of heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate togood. Several strings of fall calves and yearlings in the regular two week auction rotation. Several land owners that leaseout summer grass are starting to let cattlemen turn out for the summer season. However, many have limited the stock-ing rate to 75 percent of “normal” capacity this year. So, cattlemen continue to liquidate pairs that they have no grass orfeed for. Several pairs are split at auction: calves to the country and cows to slaughter.

Cattle trade has been mostly sideways as trade isunable to break out of the recent range in either direc-tion. The steady old crop corn trade and demand con-cerns have limited feeder cattle. The weekly changeshave June Live Cattle 20 lower and nearby FeederCattle are 20 higher with the softer corn. June LiveCattle futures have held support in the $119.00 area,while testing resistance at 120.50-121. The cutout hasbeen flat as we transition to summer trade with choice$.22 lower at 201.79 and select up .94 at 184.31.Currentness is starting to slip a bit with biggershowlists. Packer margins remain solid, which shouldhelp cash trade even as numbers improve seasonally.This may be one good reason to view the nearby Live

Cattle board around or under $120 as cheap. Cash tradeis off to a slow start yet again this week with tradeexpected to pick up steady to $1 lower on the week.Futures have a chance to rally a bit more, but it feelslike we should have some selling interest around withany further upside for the near term keeping the charttrends sideways. Hedgers call with questions.

Lean hog trade has continued to work higher as supportive fun-damentals trigger more buying and moving through resistance addsmore fund support. Shrinking hog numbers and improved demandare noted for the strength, with cutout strength and the weaker dol-lar helping. For the week June futures were up 600 with short termmomentum picking up. We have moved above all the major movingaverages on the June with first support at 9815.Next resistancewould be $10200, but the chart has gotten heavily over bought. Cashhas been helped by tighter numbers of market ready hogs and bet-ter demand, with margins for integrated packers improving, butthey are starting to soften a bit. The dollar has turned a shade soft-er, which is good for export demand, but we have not sustainedbreaks of the dollar for extended periods lately. The question weneed answered is how much numbers are going to be off as we getdeeper into summer and deal with the fallout from last year’sdrought. We are still searching out new highs for the move on near-by contracts reflecting lower than expected numbers. So althoughwe believe the rally is overbought and near completion, the markethas not yet confirmed that. Hedgers call with questions, and focuson margins looking forward, and rallies are something to takeadvantage of for unhedged numbers.

Many drivers across the country will face theneed to maintain and recharge their vehicle’sair conditioning system to get ready for warmsummer months after a season of hibernation.Small leaks, cracked or dried-out seals meanthat after months of not needing A/C, your carmay no longer have the refrigerant required toblow cold when it gets hot.

Recharging your vehicle’s air-conditioningsystem doesn’t always mean a trip to thedealership or local mechanic. With the mostbasic do-it-yourself knowledge, it can be a fastand easy process. Using any of the all-in-onerecharge kits available at auto parts stores,this simple service can take as little as 10minutes from start to ice cold finish,potentially saving vehicle owners hundreds ofdollars when they do the rechargingthemselves.

“Millions of car owners enjoy maintainingtheir own vehicles,” said Rich White, executivedirector, Car Care Council. “If your A/C systemneeds to be recharged and you choose to take on

the task yourself, following a few simple stepscan help you achieve proper coolingperformance that is critical for interiorcomfort.”

To keep your cool when the weather heats up,the Car Care Council recommends the followingstep-by-step instructions to restore airconditioning performance. The tools needed torecharge the A/C system are minimal andinclude a charging hose assembly, A/C pressuregauge and R-134A refrigerant. Some rechargekits on the market today even include the hoseand pressure gauge as part of their packaging.Before you begin any maintenance, alwaysremember to first put on safety glasses andgloves.

1. Locate the low pressure service port underthe hood and remove the cap. The low pressureport will always be on the larger diameteraluminum tubing between the air conditioningcompressor and the car’s firewall.

2. Start the engine and set the A/C tomaximum cold with the fan speed on its highestsetting. Shake the can of R-134A refrigerantwell before attaching the hose and open thewindows and doors of the vehicle.

3. Attach the charging hose to the lowpressure port by pulling up on the connectorsleeve and then pushing the connector over thefitting and releasing the sleeve. Gently tug onthe hose to ensure the connector is locked onthe fitting.

4. Some DIY kits have a temperature dial onthe charging hose and gauge pack that should

be set to the current outside air temperatureprior to charging.

5. At this point, check the pressure gauge toget an accurate pressure reading. It is criticalthat the compressor is running with the fan onits highest setting and the air conditioning atMax Cold. You’ll know the compressor isrunning by looking at the center of the pulley,which should be rotating and cycling on and off.

6. Begin recharging the system by holding therefrigerant in the upright position, releasingthe refrigerant into the vehicle’s A/C systemand simultaneously rotating the can betweenthe 12 o’clock and 3 o’clock positions duringcharging. Periodically stop the flow ofrefrigerant into the system to take an accuratepressure reading. With kits that have atemperature dial, the system is fully chargedwhen the gauge needle reads in the green zoneof the pie-shaped area indicated on thetemperature dial. CAUTION: Be careful not toovercharge the system.

7. After charging, close the valve on therefrigerant can and remove the hose couplerfrom the low pressure port, replacing theservice cap.

savings in pumping and distributing the water,which can easily be as much as $30 perirrigated corn acre.

— Efficiency Gains from PrecisionAgriculture: Although more difficult tomeasure, there are clearly both input costsavings and production enhancementopportunities which can be better achievedwith center pivot technology. For producersfarming larger acreages, these gains convertinto very significant revenue impacts.

Given the above, it is interesting to see howthe markets for agricultural cropland respond.Do they reflect a center pivot premium?

Using annual historical data from our UNLNebraska Farm Real Estate MarketDevelopments series for the East StatisticalReporting District, as well as the state as awhole over the past 24 years, we find quiteinteresting shifts in land values and cashrental rates for the irrigated land classes.While both classes of irrigated land (centerpivot and gravity) have shown strong gains invalue and rents over the period, the centerpivot irrigated land class has advanced moresharply.3

Using the per acre value metrics from thetransfer market, we find that gravity irrigatedland commanded the higher values early in theperiod, in part reflecting the fact that centerpivot technology allowed lower-quality land tocome into irrigation. But also, quite likelythere was a more limited marketunderstanding of the advantages which centerpivot irrigation technology provided. So for atime there was, in fact, a discount rather thana premium. That changed, however, with aclear reversal in relative values by 1998 in theEast District and by 2006 for the state as awhole.

In Figure 1 we have indexed the land valuetrend relationships of center pivot irrigatedland to that of gravity irrigated land. Whenthat index is greater than one, we can say thereessentially is a center pivot premium operatingin the transfer market. And indeed, that

premium is evident and gradually growing overtime. Currently, in 2013 the index of 1.15 forthe East District suggests that a parcel set-upfor center pivot irrigation (not including thecost of the center pivot system itself) wouldbring a 15 percent premium over comparablegravity irrigated land (which would not becapable of converting). For example, if thegravity system sells for $10,000 per acre, thesame parcel, if capable of being irrigated withcenter pivot technology, would likely fetch$11,500 per acre. (Note: Center pivot values inour UNL series do not include the value of thecenter pivot system itself.)

The story is similar for cash rents. Analyzingthe historical data for the East Region of thestate shows that until 1994/1995 the cash rentsfor gravity irrigated cropland were almostequal to center pivot cropland (Figure 2).However, since 1996 the cash rents for centerpivot cropland have been higher than that ofgravity. This year (2013) the cash rental ratesfor center pivot irrigated cropland is averaging$35 per acre higher than gravity irrigated ratesin the East District, implying a rent premiumof over ten percent. That is a premium, evenrecognizing the fact that Eastern Nebraskacenter pivot rental rates are sometimesnegotiated for the complete parcel with cornersthat are not irrigated, and thus farmed asdryland cropland.

In summary, market participants in both theland transfer and land rental markets dorecognize the center pivot premium, and forgood reason. In fact, our data suggest thispremium is gradually increasing over time asgeneral understanding of the benefits of thistechnology grows. Conversely, land that iscurrently gravity irrigated, and due toparticular features precluded from conversionto center pivot irrigation, will actuallyexperience a mirror image penalty — a gravityirrigation discount.

the middle of nowhere. Well, we're out in nowherenow, and the damage is just as extreme.''

The Broncos arrived in Edgar at 7 a.m. Mondayand stayed until dinner time, riding in horsetrailers and pickups to various fields where debrisneeded to be moved. Springer enlisted the help ofthe receivers and lineman to carry heavy, warpedirrigation pipe to common collection areas whereother neighbors with tractors and bulldozerswould take them away. The football team'spresence in Edgar stemmed from the two-yearfriendship that has grown between Springer andcoach Tony Harper.

Two years ago, Harper and his coaching staffstayed at the hunting lodge on Springer's landnear Edgar for their annual retreat weekendbefore the fall football season began. The two menimmediately hit it off, sharing a love of footballand a commitment to community.

''I knew those two were cut from the same cloth,''said Terry Anstine of Five Points Bank, whosupports the Bronco football program andintroduced the pair.

Springer went through triple bypass surgery inMarch of this year, and Harper texted him rightafter the procedure, offering his support.

''When (Tony) tells you he'll do something, hemeans it,'' Springer said. ''Tony is just a real nobleguy. In a line of 20 men, you'd know immediatelywhich ones would stand out. He's one of thoseguys.''

Springer has jumped through numerousinsurance hoops in the last week, and has had acouple of his requests for help go unanswered.

Harper's willingness to act without hesitation andthe positive attitude exhibited by the Broncoplayers and coaches meant the most to him.

''In all my 35 years of farming, I've never askedfor help,'' Springer said. ''And I called Tony onceand, boom, he's here. I've had to keep my emotionsin check.''

Members of the Sandy Creek Future Farmers ofAmerica club also assisted Springer and Edgararea residents with cleanup Monday.

Amy Tomlinson, the club's sponsor, said thatmany of her 40-50 FFA students have been on callin the last week, helping their classmates andneighbors in Edgar do yard work and pick uprubble.

Tomlinson and her students from Clay Countyexperienced a tornado scare themselves lastWednesday, inspiring them to help their neighborsall the more.

''I know if something ever happened to us we'dappreciate the help,'' said Erika Harms, a juniorat Sandy Creek whose family lives on a farmbetween Fairfield and Glenvil. After a longmorning of wrestling metal roadblocks intomanageable piles, the Broncos and othervolunteers took a halftime break at Springer'slodge, the place where he and Harper first metand got to know each other.

The conditioning might have been different, andthe game may have been played a little differently,but the football players and farmers mingled overthe meal like members of the same team. ''Thisisn't about football,'' Harper said. ''It's theneighborly thing to do. It's the right thing to do.''

fold higher concentration of animals per acrethan usual, for a very short time. Only do thisif your good grass is healthy.

You might need to use temporary crossfences to create small enough areas to achievethese high animal concentrations. If this isdone while problem weeds are still young,many of them will be eaten readily. Weedslike crabgrass, foxtail, lambsquarter, andfield bindweed make good forage when young.Animals even eat cheatgrass, downy brome,and sandbur when plants are young. Oncethey form seed stalks, though, cattle almosttotally reject them. Be sure to remove animalswhile desired grasses still have a few leavesremaining so they regrow quickly andcompete with recovering or new weeds.

Some established weeds aren’t controlledeasily with grazing. Clipping or sprayingthese weeds when their root reserves are lowand to prevent seed production will reducetheir pressure. But remember, they willreturn quickly unless follow-up grazingmanagement keeps your pasture healthy,vigorous, and competitive.

Pasture weeds are troublesome, but propergrazing helps control them.
