by Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub Axtell farmer Steve Nelson pulled rain-dampened husks away from ears of corn on the edge of a field west of his house last week and was pleased with his maturing crop. There are several potential final destinations for the large yellow ker- nels soon to be harvested from Nelson’s cornstalks and fields across Nebraska. Much of the harvest will go to local livestock feeding operations and ethanol plants. Billions of bushels sold to elevators will be loaded onto trucks and trains for transport to other U.S. states. However, millions of metric tons of Nebraska corn, soybeans, wheat, beef and pork leave Pacific Northwest and Gulf of Mexico ports each year in containers labeled for delivery to foreign buyers. “We obviously can’t consume all that we produce. We need exports,” said Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach of Sumner, who headed a nine-member state trade mission to Taiwan and Hong Kong Aug. 6-14. Even as state budget concerns lim- ited full trade missions in recent years, he said Ag Department International Trade Representative Stan Garbacz has continued to main- tain business relationships and trav- el when needed to work on specific markets and export opportunities.

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

A widespread rainevent during the8/23-8/25 period pro-duced sufficient mois-ture across south cen-tral and southeasternNebraska to elimi-nate much of theabnormally dry condi-tions depicted on the8/19 U.S. DroughtMonitor update. Asmall pocket of abnor-mally dry conditionsremains along the I-

80 corridor between York and Lincoln, as wellas the southern half of the southeastern 3counties of Nebraska. However, an additionalrain event during the 8/31-9/2 period will notbe reflected on the 9/2 U.S. Drought Monitorrelease, but will likely return all of the remain-ing abnormally dry areas to normal on the 9/9release. Northern portions of Sioux and Dawescounties have been consistently dryer than nor-mal for the past 30 to 45 days and is being

closely monitored for upgrade to abnormallydry in future U.S. Drought Monitor releases.

Week One Forecast: 9/4-9/10: Dry conditionsare expected for the entire Labor Day weekend,with only a slight chance of showers acrossnorthern Nebraska during the evening hours of9/6. High temperatures on 9/4 will primarily bein the low 80's, warming into the mid to upper80's on 9/5, with upper 80's to low 90's possibleon 9/6. Another cold front will move throughthe state on 9/7. Moisture appears limited forthe northwestern ½ of the state, with betterprecipitation chances assigned to the south-eastern ½ of Nebraska. The front is projectedto stall out near the Kansas border and modelsindicate several pieces of energy will moveeastward during the 9/8-9/10 period generatingperiods of showers and thunderstorms. If mod-els are correct, three day precipitation totalsmay approach several inches across easternNebraska, while much of western Nebraskawill likely see less than an inch of moisture.High temperatures during the 9/7-9/10 periodare projected to be in the upper 70's to low 80'snorth, with low to mid 80's south.

Week Two Forecast: 9/11-9/17: High pressureis projected to build into the region on 9/11 asthe stationary boundary responsible for mois-ture during the 9/7-9/10 period shifts east.High pressure is projected to keep moisture outof the region through 9/14. High temperaturesare projected to be in the upper 70's to low 80'son 9/11, warming into the low to mid 80's on9/12, with mid 80's to low 90's expected duringthe 9/13-9/14 period. A slow moving upper airtrough will work its way into the Plains duringthe 9/15-9/17 period, bring scattered showersand thunderstorms to the state during the 9/15-9/16 period. Highs will cool back into the 80's.Current model projections indicate that theentire state will see a widespread rain event on9/17, with heavy rain possible. Highs are cur-rently projected to drop into the low to mid 60'snorthwest to low 70's southeast.

On my first trip to Europe years ago, one of themembers of the tour I was on sang about howtired her feet were. Every night she sang abouther feet. As a college student, I became annoyedwith this nightly serenade. Now that I’m older, Ifind myself saying how tired my feet feel. I don’tsing about it - yet.

Our feet do get tired, particularly if we don’ttreat them right. Of utmost importance is wear-ing shoes that properly fit the feet. Wearing shoesthat are too tight or too loose is not fun.

Choose shoes that are made of leather, if possi-ble. The leather allows your feet to breathe,reducing odors and infections. I learned that thehard way. One of my college roommates stuck myshoes (non-leather) outside the door because theysmelled so bad. No, she wasn’t finicky - they real-ly did smell.

Avoid high heels, particularly those heels over2 inches. Flat shoes with a heel height of oneinch or less are the healthiest choices for yourfeet.

Don’t wear the same pair of shoes day after day.Add some variety so your feet don’t get in a rut.

Plus, your shoes will be able to air out, reducingfoot odors.

Look for soles that are shock absorbing andskid resistant. Shock absorption is particularlyimportant if you walk on a lot of concrete or grav-el. Skid resistance is important when walking onicy surfaces as well as graveled areas.

Sizes of shoes vary among brands and styles. Itis important to try on the shoes to check for prop-er fit. Don’t rely on the size listed. Feet arelargest at the end of the day so shop for shoes inthe afternoon or evening. The size of your feetchanges as you age so have your feet regularlymeasured. Measure both feet since most peoplehave one foot larger than the other.

Select a shoe that conforms as nearly as possi-ble to the shape of the foot. This generally meansa shoe that is roomy, rounded or square over thetoes. Stand up during the fitting process andcheck that there is adequate space (3/8 inch to ½inch) for the longest toe at the end of each shoe.

The heel should fit comfortable in the shoe witha minimum amount of slippage. Purchasingshoes that feel tight and expecting them tostretch is not a good idea. Walk in the shoearound the store to make sure the shoe fits. If theshoe fits, wear it.

Help for Tired Feet

Sheryl Fellers, Dawson County Extension Service

As school starts back up, many parents willstruggle to find healthy foods that their sugar-lov-ing children will agree to take to school for luncheveryday. However, shopping smart and tryingnew ideas can help parents send children back toschool with healthy and delicious lunches.

Incorporating fruits and vegetables into lunchesdoes not have to be difficult. Packing whole fruitslike an apple or a bunch of grapes is easy and deli-cious. Individual containers of fruits like pears,peaches and pineapples also make a tasty treat.However, when buying individual containers offruits, make sure they have no sugar added andare packaged in their own juices or water insteadof syrup. These fruits are already sweet, and chil-dren do not need the extra sugar and calories.

Spice up fruit by also packing dip for them. Low-fat yogurt or pudding go great with strawberriesand melons. Try different fruits with different tex-tures so children do not get bored. Intermixcrunchy apples with juicy oranges. Making fruitsalad is a great way to make fruit fun. Mix togeth-er sweet fruits like apples, bananas and pearswith acidic fruits like oranges, pineapples andlemons. Kids get to try different fruit combina-tions, and the acidic juices will help prevent thefruit from turning brown.

Vegetables with dip are another healthy addi-tion to a lunch. Low-fat salad dressing or humusmake great dips for raw broccoli or red and green

pepper strips. Sliced zucchini and cucumbers, car-rots, celery and cauliflower are other raw vegeta-bles that are easy to pack and dip.

Whole grains also are important and easy toincorporate into lunches. Use whole-wheat breadinstead of white, whole-grain pasta instead ofrefined and brown rice instead of white. Whole-grain cereal is a fun alternative to potato chips fora snack. If children still want chips, pick ones thatare whole grain, baked or possibly both.

Carefully read food labels to determine thatproducts are actually whole grain. Just becausebread is brown does not means it is whole grain.Check the ingredients list to make sure the firstingredient is brown rice, bulgur, whole-grain corn,whole wheat, graham flour, oatmeal, whole oats,whole rye or wild rice. Also check the NutritionFacts label for the percent Daily Value (%DV) offiber because foods with higher values of fiber aremore likely to be whole grain.

Children should have dairy or some other calci-um-rich food in their lunches, also. Chose low-fator fat-free milk products instead of whole milk.Yogurt is easy and an excellent source of calcium.

Finally, children will always want their juiceboxes. Buy juices with little added sugar or sweet-eners. Especially avoid juices that have sugars orcaloric sweeteners listed as their first ingredient.Many juices are only 10 or 20 percent juice andcontain a lot of unnecessary sugars. Check juicebox labels and try to buy products that are 100percent juice.

The key to family growth is for family membersto spend time together talking, but in the pastfew years, research shows that the number ofhousehold conversations has decreased by 90 per-cent.

Staying connected may be as simple as just eat-ing one meal a day together. However, the num-ber of family meals have decreased by 33 percent.Instead of sitting down at the dinner table andtalking about their days, family members nowgrab a quick bite to eat as they head off to soccerpractice or one of the many activities that nowseem to rule people's time.

That is why it is important to have positive,substantial conversation to help keep a familyconnected. Leave conversations about groceryshopping and bad test grades for another time.Instead, ask family members how their dayswere.

Families could even have a jar that members

could put questions or topics in that they want totalk about during the meal; for example, maybemom wants to know more about her daughter'snew job. Pick a topic from the jar to start off themeal and then let the conversation go from there.

Sitting down for a full meal everyday at homemay not be possible, but having even a few min-utes of substantial conversation will help bring afamily closer together. Instead of rushing homefrom school, stop to get ice cream and share fiveminutes together.

While sharing a meal is important, familiesshould try to find other time to spend together. Astechnology grows and vies for more of people'stime, family members often disappear into differ-ent rooms after dinner to play video games or surfthe Internet. Instead of going separate ways, getfamily members together in the same room andmaybe play that video game together.

Technology can bring family members togetherinstead of pulling them apart. The importantthing is not what the family is doing but that thefamily is together, talking and having fun.

H o n o r e d G u e s t sby Lee Pitts

One of the side effects these days of therotten economy is that people are stayingwith friends and relatives more when theygo on vacation, and if that’s not incentiveenough right there to turn around our econ-omy I don’t know what is.

I apologize if the following advice comeslate for those of you who have already madethe mistake of staying as houseguests withfriends or relatives this past summer. Ifyou haven’t yet, but are about to, I onlyhave one word: DON’T DO IT! (Okay, sothat’s three words but I thought my mes-sage was too important to leave to just asingle syllable.) We should have had thisdiscussion before you ruined your summerby staying with inlaws because you weretoo cheap to buy a motel room or rent anRV.

My advice is late because I only recentlymade the mistake of staying with relativesmyself. I admit I’m not accomplished in thehousehold arts but I thought it was a bitmuch for the mistress of our temporaryaccommodations to follow me around with acan of deodorizer and a carpet rake to getrid of all the footprints left behind by myJustin Ropers. She’s just lucky I pressurewashed my boots before I went or else she’dstill be getting stains out of her carpet, ifyou know what I mean.

I was in trouble for the duration of ourstay merely because I drank out of thewater jug, my car left oil in the street infront of their house, I put my feet up on

their foot stool, I failed to put the sectionsof the Sunday paper back in alphabeticalorder after I read them, and, horror of hor-rors, I put a recyclable bottle in the regulartrash!

And what’s the deal with all those pillowspeople pile on their beds and couches thesedays? I never did figure out the differencebetween those pillows that could actuallybe used, and those that were merely fordecoration. Anyway, I supposedly ruinedone by getting it all out of shape by using itas, get this, A PILLOW!

The guest bathroom we were assignedwas a land mine for me. How was I sup-posed to know that I wasn’t supposed to usethe little soaps in the shape of conch shells?I’ll admit by the second day they lookedmore like rifle shells but it’s not anythingto start crying over is it? Really? When ourhost made the ghastly soap discovery I wasinformed that the liquid soap was in one ofa dozen cute little dispensers surroundingthe sink, and during the rest of our stay Iwashed my hands and face with a variety ofperfumes, moisturizing lotions and cuticleremovers. After I took a shower my wifeasked, “You didn’t get the shower wet didyou?”

“Yes,” I replied, as I had not yet masteredthe art of taking a shower without gettingthe shower wet too. I was told immediatelyto dry the shower out, removing all waterspots, but when I did so with the stack ofcute little paper towels by the sink you’d

have thought I turned loose their canary.(More on that in a later column.)

Now here’s the delicate part: The bath-room we used was right off the family roomwhere everyone tended to congregate. Youcan’t imagine, well maybe you can, howhard it is to try not to make any embarrass-ing noises while the entire household is lis-tening. Turning on the fan or water faucetdidn’t help as I needed something more likea loud John Phillips Souza march to maskall my ruminations.

The worst thing about staying with urbanhosts is that my wife discovered all sorts ofniceties. “Did you notice the thread counton the sheets?” she asked.

“Big deal,” I replied. “They had two, a topand bottom sheet just like we do.”

On the day we left we had to do morehousework than gets done in our house inan entire year. For example, we had tochange the sheets so the next guests wouldhave clean ones, which we never do afterguests stay at our house! And I hope thatthought is enough to stop anyone from everthinking of staying with us, because I thinkwe can all agree, the only thing worse thanbeing houseguests is having them.

As we enter into the fall, students acrossNebraska are returning to classes, catching upwith friends, and meeting new classmates. A newschool year is always exciting, and I’ve been hon-ored to meet with students of all ages and sharetheir excitement. After every meeting, I’ve comeaway impressed with the quality of Nebraska’syouth, and I am committed to helping them makethe most of opportunities to expand their horizons.

In order to receive feedback from Nebraska highschool students, I formed my Youth AdvisoryCouncil. This group provides a forum to discussthe concerns of young Nebraskans and how theycan help their local communities, while also offer-ing the opportunity for me to hear their thoughtson issues facing the federal government.

Membership is open to high school students whoare nominated by their teachers, principals, orguidance counselors. For more information aboutthe Youth Advisory Council, interested studentsand educators should contact their guidance coun-selor, my Grand Island office at 308-384-3900, orvisit my website at http://adriansmith.house.gov.

High school students may also consider servingour nation as a Congressional Page in WashingtonD.C. While continuing their high school educa-tion, pages work on Capitol Hill assisting

Members of Congress and congressional staff andexperience up close how Congress works.

Applicants must be 16 years of age at the time oftheir appointment and have a "B" average or bet-ter. In addition to the application form and tran-script, students will need to submit an essay, threeletters of recommendation (one from a currentteacher), and extracurricular activities. For moreinformation, contact my Washington D.C. office at202-225-6435.

For some high school students, their commit-ment to our country will lead them to considerattending one of the U.S. Service Academies(Military, Naval, Coast Guard, and Air Force). Iam honored to nominate qualified individuals com-mitted to serving our nation. Applicants meet per-sonally with my Academy Advisory Committee andare judged on academic achievement, extracurric-ular involvement, career motivation, personaltraits, letters of recommendation, essays, and per-sonal interviews.

Serving in any one of the military service acade-mies is both an honor and a tremendous commit-ment. For more information about eligibilityrequirements, students should contact myScottsbluff office at 308-633-6333 or their guid-ance counselor.

For college-aged Nebraskans, I am proud to offerthe opportunity to experience the legislativeprocess from an insider’s point of view through aninternship in my Washington D.C. office or one ofmy district offices. These internships provideinvaluable work experience for students interestedin public policy.

Interns have the opportunity to meet with medirectly, as well as assist my staff in various capac-ities – from office duties to research to attendingmeetings with policymakers and constituents.

For more information on internships, studentscan visit my website athttp://adriansmith.house.gov under “ConstituentServices” or call any one of my offices.

These are just a few opportunities for motivatedstudents to advance their education and assisttheir communities. I also encourage students tocheck with their guidance counselors, local cham-bers of commerce, economic development councils,and other organizations and businesses for moreways to get involved.

There are tremendous opportunities at all levelsfor young people willing to work hard A new schoolyear is upon us and I look forward to helping con-nect Nebraska youth with experiences which willlast a lifetime.

While the Senate has been out of session thereare still issues facing us that are as hot as theAugust weather, one of which involves a treatybetween two nuclear super powers, the U.S. andRussia.

During one of those hot August days I had theopportunity to speak to hundreds of militaryexperts from around the country about the NewSTART Treaty which is aimed at reducing thenumber of nuclear missiles deployed by both coun-tries.

These experts came to Nebraska for a nucleardeterrence symposium sponsored by the U.S.Strategic Command, which is headquartered inNebraska.

The New STARTAs Chairman of the Senate Armed Services

Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, which hasjurisdiction over nuclear weapons, I wanted to letthose attending the symposium know that I sup-port the New START.

This treaty has been signed by the presidents ofboth countries and now needs 67 votes in theSenate to be ratified. Failure to ratify it would fos-ter the kind of uncertainty that could trigger a new

nuclear arms race and the runaway defense spend-ing that comes with it. Transparency and informa-tion-sharing, which we are without now but will beprovided for in the New START treaty, enable ourmilitary planners to better prepare for a responseto a real threat.

Without such agreements and understandings,our military and the military of countries likeRussia must prepare for worst-case scenarios.

As I pointed out to the symposium, STRATCOMCommander General Kevin Chilton supports thetreaty, saying that the United States would besafer and more secure if it is ratified. I agreewholeheartedly with General Chilton; we will besafer with the treaty than without it.

Also, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said:“This treaty strengthens nuclear stability. It willreduce the number of strategic nuclear weaponsthat both Russia and the United States are per-mitted to deploy by a third, and maintains aneffective verification regime.”

Strong SupportIn the last 40 years, our country has participat-

ed in numerous arms control and nonproliferationefforts. They are a critical element of our national

security strategy. This New START treaty hasstrong support from previous secretaries of state,defense secretaries and STRATCOM commandersgoing back through many administrations.

My hopes are that this will not be a partisanissue. Previous nuclear arms control treaties havebeen approved by the Senate with strong biparti-san support.

A Stronger AmericaFailure to ratify this treaty would create suspi-

cions and not be helpful to improved and mutuallybeneficial relations with Russia. America will bestronger if we can continue to look under Russia’shood, and they under ours. Trust but verify works.

Without this treaty, our understanding ofRussian nuclear forces would deteriorate. Wewould have a tendency for U.S forces to overcom-pensate for what we don’t know. That’s a losingstrategy in an era of large budget deficits andneeded fiscal constraint.

This treaty moves us further away from anuclear war no one wants because it would destroyso many lives. Even so, America will continue tohave a powerful deterrent capability. That’s why itshould be approved by the Senate.

Since the passage of the federal health care law,I have been concerned about the cost of this lawand in particular its impact on the State ofNebraska in future years. We recently asked anexpert, independent firm to assess the provisionsof the law. The results of their analysis are stag-gering.

The financial analysis reveals the new cost tothe State of Nebraska to finance expandedMedicaid programs will be between $526 millionand $766 million over the next 10 years.

This unfunded and unparalleled expansion ofMedicaid is an unfair and unsustainable mandateon Nebraska and other states.

Conducted by an independent third party withexperience consulting on the Medicaid programsfor two dozen states, the analysis looked at 2011through 2020 and provided an estimate ofNebraska’s obligation for funding new and expand-ed Medicaid programs under the federal health

care law. Today nearly one in nine Nebraskans are

enrolled in Medicaid. The expansion of Medicaid inthe federal law is predicted to add 107,000 to145,000 newly eligible Nebraskans to the program,with costs estimated to range from $526 million to$766 million.

The bottom line is that with full participation,approximately one in every five Nebraskans wouldbe enrolled in Medicaid within 10 years.

This analysis confirms that the federal healthcare law is an extraordinarily large and excessiveunfunded mandate for states. It confirms that thislaw has potentially devastating consequences forour state budget.

Medicaid is already one of state government’slargest funding commitments. The law requiresstates to make additional funding commitment,which will be potentially devastating to the statebudget. This unfunded mandate could reduce

funding for the education of our children. We balance our state budget and our residents

balance their family and household budgets. Thisis not the way that Nebraska does business.

It is why Nebraska has joined with 20 otherstates in a lawsuit challenging the federal healthcare law. The individual mandate contained in thefederal health care law requiring that every citi-zen purchase health insurance is an unfairrequirement. The unfunded mandate on state gov-ernments to pay for the federal government’sexpansion of Medicaid is equally unjust andunfair.

I have said many times, this federal health carelaw is bad news for Nebraska and bad news forAmerica. The results of this analysis are a firstlook at how bad. It is unacceptable and unfair toNebraskans.

Most of us would conclude that our wind-shield was a very useful piece of equipment. Itkeeps cold and heat; wind and rain; and untoldnumbers of bugs and other airborne road debrisout of our faces.

The problem is that consumers have differentand more limited expectations from the wind-shield than the automotive engineer. In otherwords, we worry about water leaks or ugly“dings” and cracks affecting our car’s value,while the engineer understands how such dam-age can affect the vehicle’s structural integrityand passenger safety.

The fact is that the modern automobile andtruck, windshield is part of the vehicle’s safetyrestraint system (SRS) that also includes airbags and seat belts. If any of these safety com-ponents are damaged, or are inoperable for anyreason, the effectiveness of the entire SRScould be compromised.

The SRS is designed to keep vehicle occu-pants within the relative safety of the passen-ger compartment during accidents, head-on col-lisions and roll-overs. The National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration reports over40,000 Americans are killed and over 5 millioninjured every year in highway crashes. Over 30percent of the fatalities occur when vehicleoccupants are either ejected from the vehicle,or, injured during rollovers.

Windshields are intended to keep occupantsinside the vehicle. The windshield also sup-ports the roof thereby preserving the structur-al integrity of the passenger compartment andkeeping it from collapsing and crushing driverand passengers.

Seen from this perspective of personal safety,consumers have a vested interest in makingsure any damaged windshield they replace isreplaced properly and safely. For these reasons

every vehicle owner should be aware of the fivemost important safety functions performed bytheir windshield.

• The most obvious windshield function is, ofcourse, visibility. Unlike drivers of old, we donot wear goggles that keep bugs out of our eyesor highway debris from hitting our face. Evenso, the modern windshield can become pittedand scratched from minute dirt and sand parti-cles. Pebbles and stones can fracture the glasscausing dings that, if left unattended, canaffect vision.

• The second windshield function is not asobvious. In many cars and trucks, the wind-shield supports the passenger side airbag dur-ing deployment. If a windshield is replacedimproperly, the windshield could becomedetached from the vehicle in an accident. If thishappens the passenger side airbag will notdeploy properly.

• Thirdly, windshields cushion the blow if avehicle occupant is thrown forward in a crash.Windshields are made of two layers of glasssandwiched around a layer of polyvinyl materi-al. The glass may break but the polyvinyl layeris flexible and cushions the impact. This fea-ture explains why windshields are made ofglass not plastic. Plastic is rigid and unforgiv-ing to a person’s head and neck.

• The fourth windshield safety attribute isclosely related to the third. When the wind-shield cushions the occupant’s impact, it alsokeeps the occupants within the relative safetyof the passenger compartment. If the wind-shield becomes separated from the vehicle, theoccupants could be ejected through the wind-shield opening and onto the roadway. Outsidethe vehicle, the danger of being crushed by thevehicle is greatly enhanced.

• Finally, there is the integrity of the passen-

ger compartment. Years ago, most vehicles hadsteel A-pillars to support the roof. Today, it isthe windshield that provides much of the sup-port that prevents the roof ’s collapse duringvehicle roll-overs.

There are a few common sense tips people canfollow to ensure their windshield performs asintended. The ideal scenario calls for savingthe original windshield installed by the factory.The conditions inside the factory for installinga windshield are perfect, so the confidence levelin the factory seal between windshield andvehicle is highest. If the original windshield isdamaged, there are two choices. Either repairthe original windshield, or replace it. Theadvantage of repair is the factory’s safety sealis not broken. The windshield is not removedfrom the car. That saves both the very expen-sive windshield and the safety seal.

Many people are unsure if their windshieldcan or cannot be repaired, so it is extremelyimportant to consult a competent auto glassservice provider for advice. If you are not sure,it is always a good idea to ask local serviceproviders if their technicians are certified bythe National Glass Association.

If the damage is beyond repair, then wind-shield replacement is the only other alterna-tive. If replacement is indicated, ask if the autoglass shop endorses the Auto GlassReplacement Safety Standard (AGRSS) andtrains their technicians to that standard.

For more information on auto glass safety,you may call 1-800-CAR-HELP toll-free andselect the “Damaged Auto Glass” menu option,or, visit www.glass.org/consumer/overview.htmand www.agrss.com.

Corn trade has held the uptrend with a new highclose on Wednesday, but we have remained belowthe early January high just under $4.50. The week-ly net change is around a dime higher. The outsidemarkets were negative through this move whichhas made the rally more impressive. Concern overyields and the global need to import feed grainscontinues to limit downside moves. The low lastweek was only around a 20 cent correction and wethen turned and rallied 30 cents into Wednesday.This is how a bull market acts folks. Crop progresslisted the crop at 73% dented versus the 55% 5-year average and only 30% last year. So the matu-rity has sped up which gives the bias toward aslightly lower yield. Crop ratings were steady at70% good to excellent which did briefly pressuretrade on Tuesday night. We did see some updatedprivate yield numbers this week. The Linn Groupreleased a 160.7 number which was down 1.4 froma month ago and FC Stone gave a 162.9 bushel peracre number which is likely around where we willhave the average trade guess heading into thereport next week. The weekly export sales came inat a net reduction of 28,500 tons for old crop and1.69 million tons of new. Harvest pressure shouldstart to limit upside, but the momentum is still cer-tainly higher. Hedgers call with questions.

Wheat trade was sideways to firmer this pastweek and remains sideways in the big picture.The weekly net changes are just over a dimehigher across the three exchanges here at mid-week. It appears we printed a high with thespike a month ago, but now are range boundwhich means the highs are still in reach if wereceived some bullish weather or news.Uncertainty remains the key word due to worldweather problems, but we appear to have stabi-lized. So, as long as the Southern Hemispherewheat production goes well the upside should belimited, but buying interest will resurface onany new weather issues. On the ChicagoDecember chart, the market has trade bothsides of $7 over the last 2 weeks and we may bedeveloping a range near-term. Nearby resist-ance is up at $7.19 which is the 20-day, but thehigh side of the recent range is up around $7.30.First support is down at $7 and then in the$6.77-9 area. The weekly 2010-11 export salesnumber was at 1.024 million tons which wassupportive. The progress report listed the springwheat harvest at 53% versus the 60% 5-yearaverage but we are still well ahead of last yearwhen only 21% of the harvest had occurred.Hedgers call with questions.

November 2010 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean trade has stayed range bound thisweek with some upside follow-through followedby a downside correction the past few sessions.The weekly net changes are 21 lower onNovember beans, October meal is down around$6 and bean oil down around 60 points. Crudeoil tried to rally but then slipped into midweekwhich appears to be the item leading the soycomplex around. Some smaller private yieldnumbers versus the August USDA report shouldlimit downside below $10 near term. The LinnGroup released their updated bean productionestimate at 43.6 bushels per acre and the FCstone estimate was at 43.5 bushels per acre.Informa is expected to release their number onFriday. The crop progress report had 96% of thecrop setting pods and 8% dropping leaves whichare both now 1% ahead of the 5-year average, sowe have sped up maturity this past month giv-ing us reason to expect slightly lower yields.Crop ratings were unchanged at 64% good toexcellent. The weekly export sales were reportedat 917 tons of old crop and 613,000 million tonsof new crop. Bean oil sales were a combined12,300 tons. Oil and soybean sales were neutral.Meal sales were 156,000 tons of old crop and222,400 tons of new which was very high.Hedgers call with questions.

Harvest will soon be underway and farmers willbe in one of their busiest times of the year. Longhours and dangerous working conditions areaccepted as a normal part of a farmer’s life, but noone should become a statistic for the sake of get-ting done a day or two earlier.

Safety Tips for FarmersFarmers are encouraged to be especially mind-

ful of their safety during the rush of harvest.(IANR Photo by Brett Hampton)

Stay alert. Take breaks -- get out of the cab andwalk around every few hours.

Shut down the machine before working on it. Ifthe combine becomes clogged, shut off the motor,not just the header, before attempting to unplug itby hand.

Know where your co-workers are. Visibility ispoor around large machinery. Many deaths arethe result of bystanders being run over or crushedbetween machines.

Never trust hydraulic systems when workingunder a machine. Always use a safety prop if youmust work under a header or other heavy machin-ery.

Never step over a rotating PTO. The few extrasteps you save by not walking around the tractoraren’t worth losing your life.

Never stand on grain that is being moved. Everyyear people “drown” in grain carts and grain binsthat are being emptied.

Keep grain auger grates and shields in place.Protect your hands and feet.

If you must move machinery on a roadway afterdark, have working headlights and flashing frontand rear warning lights.

Always display the reflective, triangular slow-moving vehicle emblem on all tractors, combines,grain carts, and other farm machinery when driv-en or pulled on public roadways.

Safety Tips for Rural ResidentsRemember to be watchful on county roads dur-

ing harvest. A car going 50 mph coming up behind

a farm implement moving at 15 mph closes at arate of over 50 feet per second.

Don’t pull out in front of farm vehicles. Heavilyloaded trucks and grain trailers can’t stop asquickly as a passenger car.

Watch out! Trucks and farm equipment may beentering the roadway from field lanes in placeswhere you wouldn’t normally expect them.

Give them room. Eight-row headers are nearly25 feet wide and 12-row headers are nearly 35 feetwide. These take up nearly all of a roadway. Whenovertaking a combine, give the farmer time to seeyou and to find a safe place where he/she can pullover and make room for you to pass. Neverattempt to pass a wide farm machine until thedriver is aware of your presence.

Never try to pass a combine or other implementon the shoulder of the road. If you hit a washoutor hidden culvert, you could roll the vehicle.

Harvest activity can disturb deer, causing themto be on the move during times of the day they areusually lying down. Be especially alert for deerduring harvest.

Noel Mues, Extension EducatorUniversity of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, Furnas County

If you are looking for more information on vari-eties that are best suited for your farm, you canmake a Virtual Wheat Tour “online” from the com-fort of your home. NU Extension specialists havedeveloped a web site with detailed descriptions ofvarieties, their pedigrees, release dates, certifiedseed producers selling them, and even a photo. Thesite features hard red winter wheat, hard whitewheat, and irrigated wheat. The site is availableat: http://wheatbook.unl.edu/

Through the site you can compare varieties forcharacteristics such as winter hardiness, diseaseand insect resistance, straw strength, and plantheight. When selecting a new variety, consider itsstrengths and weaknesses and how it will fit withthe farming practices and wheat varieties you’recurrently using. Choosing varieties that comple-ment each other will improve yield stability andmaximize protection from disasters brought on bydiseases, insects, or drought. After using the site tolocate a few varieties that seem to meet your crite-ria and that fit well with your operation, view theresults of the 2010 wheat variety trials to see howthe selected varieties performed in trials near yourfarm. This data is at: http://cropwatch.unl.edu/web/varietytest/wheat

The Furnas County wheat variety plot was locat-ed northwest of Arapahoe on land farmed by ScottHaussler. The chem-fallow plot was planted intocorn stalks and featured 48 varieties/hybrids. Theaverage yield for the plot was 48.8 bushels peracre. Expedition had the highest yield at 64bushels per acre. Lower yields in this plot can beattributed to a high amount of lodging and a lot ofdisease pressure. Also, kernels were severelyaffected by a wetting and drying cycle drasticallyimpeding protein reading.

The Red Willow County plot averaged 68.1bushels per acre and Armour (Westbred) had thehighest yield at 80 bushels per acre.

The 2010 Certified Quality Seed Book for FallPlanted Crops, including winter wheat, will soonbe available at your Extension Office or online at

the previously mentioned website. This booklet,published by the Nebraska Crop ImprovementAssociation, provides farmers and seedsmen witha handy reference of certified seed sources inNebraska. The booklet also contains a chart listingthe 2010 winter wheat variety characteristics.

Of all the things to consider - planting date isone of the most important. Problems created bywheat streak mosaic, root and crown rot, and hes-sian fly can be greatly reduced by observing prop-er planting dates (around September 25 for ourarea). Fly-safe dates have not been developed forWestern Nebraska, including our area of the state.Fly-safe dates are averages based on several yearsof observation. A hot, dry September can delay flyemergence. Moist cool weather may cause averageemergence dates to be earlier.

UNL Extension cited a study performed at theWest Central Research and Extension Centerwhich demonstrated a large difference in yieldaccording to planting date. Winter wheat plantedSept. 2 yielded two bushels per acre. Per acre yieldincreased to 27 bushels with a Sept. 15 plantingdate and to 42 bu./acre when planted on NorthPlatte’s recommended date of Sept. 25. The studycompared similar plots treated in exactly the sameway – except for the varied planting dates.

Controlling volunteer wheat is vitally importantin managing wheat streak mosaic virus. Volunteerwheat is a reservoir for mites involved with carry-ing the virus, which affect all surrounding wheatfields. Don’t let your volunteer wheat cause lossesto someone else.

The NE State Rodeo Association was created in1955, with State champions crowned in Bareback,Calf Roping, Saddle Bronc, Steer Wrestling andBull Riding with the money earned by the individ-ual cowboys during the rodeo season. TeamRoping was added as a sanctioned event in 1961,and in 1989 they begin naming the Heading &Healing Champions in that event. Women became

a part of the NSRA with Ladies BreakawayRoping in 1985 and the Ladies Barrel Race in1986; these completed the approved events of theNSRA until this year when they have added SteerRoping as part of the Association.

The finals which are traditionally held inSeptember at the end of the season rodeos havebeen held in several different NE cities. In 1972the first NSRA Finals were held in Madison NE,with that prize money being added to the totalearnings of the competitor's rodeo season todeclare the year end champions plus a finalschampion. From Madison the finals were moved toNorth Platte for four years and then over theyears the finals were hosted by several differentNE cities, Ogallala, Mullen, Grand Island, Sidneyand Kimball. In 1992, the finals returned to thecity of North Platte and the Wild West Arena andhave continued to grow bigger and better eachyear. Hosting the top cowboys and cowgirls whohave earned the most money each summer rodeo

season, saddles are given to the yearend winners,and buckles to the final winners in each event.

Corn byproducts can be used as either a proteinor energy supplement for backgrounding orreplacement heifer/cow diets. The energy value ofdistillers grains is greater than that of corn. Theprotein content is three times that of corn and dis-tillers grain is a good source of by-pass protein(UIP undegraded intake protein). In addition, dis-tillers grains is a good source of phosphorus. Whendistillers grains are fed in high forage diets, thereis no negative relationship between distillers grainand forage. Furthermore, because the starch incorn has been removed to make ethanol, acidosis isnot a concern. With these characteristics, corn co-products appear to be a good fit as a protein orenergy supplement in cow diets that are mostlyforage.

In the research sited below, distillers grainswhere fed in amounts that sulfur and fat were notproblems. In addition, distillers grains wereincluded in the diets at supplemental level to addenergy, protein, or both energy and protein to thediets that were mostly forage.

A two-year study (Martin et al. 2007 NebraskaBeef Report) evaluated feeding dried distillersgrains plus solubles (DDGS) during heifer develop-ment on growth and reproductive performance.Supplements for both DDGS fed heifers and con-trol heifers provided similar amounts of CP, ener-gy, lipid, and fatty acids. Protein degradability ofthe supplements differed such that UIP exceededrequirements of DDGS heifers. Heifer pubertaldevelopment and overall pregnancy rate were notaffected between control and DDGS fed heifers.However, AI conception rate and AI pregnancy ratewere improved by feeding DDGS in the heiferdevelopment diet. The replacement heifers in thisstudy were supplemented at 0.58% of their bodyweight on a dry matter basis. As an example, if theaverage weight of the heifers was 600 lb, then thegroup was fed 3.5 lb per head per day on a dry mat-ter basis. If dried distillers grains was fed andwere it was 90% dry matter, then heifers were fed4.0 pounds per head per day “as-fed” (3.5 lb/hd/dadivided by .90 = 3.89 lb/hd/da rounded to 4.0).Limestone (40 lb of limestone per ton) was mixed

with the DDGS to add calcium to the diet. Heifersin this experiment did not experience sulfur toxic-ity. The heifers were projected to gain 1.5 lb/da andtheir actual gain was 1.35 lb/da. This experimentdemonstrates that distillers grains, fed at 0.58% ofbody weight dry matter basis, does not have a neg-ative impact on reproductive performance inreplacement heifer diets.

As beef cow producers continue to explore man-agement practices to reduce costs, especially heiferdevelopment costs, there appear to be opportuni-ties to develop heifers using crop residues and dis-tillers grains. Distillers grains have a high energy(108% to 112% TDN) and high protein content(30%). In addition, distillers grains fit well as aprotein and (or) energy supplement in many graz-ing situations. Corn residues are a relatively inex-pensive feed resource, but are low in protein andenergy, especially for growing calves. Beef produc-ers often target a specific ADG when growingcalves. DDGS were fed to weanling steer calvesgrazing nonirrigated corn residue to determinedaily gain response and residue intake response toincreasing levels of DDGS (from 1.5 to 6.5 lb/day in1 lb increments; Gustad et al., 2006 Nebraska BeefReport). Daily gain increased from 0.9 (1.5 lbDDGS) to 1.8 (6.5 lb DDGS) lb/day. These resultsprovide information for selecting a DDGS supple-mentation level to achieve a target gain whencalves are grazing corn residue. Although thisexperiment used steer calves, there is direct appli-cation to developing replacement heifers. Thesedata suggest that calves can “program feed” to aspecific ADG based on the amount of distillersgrains supplemented while grazing corn stalkresidue.

An experiment was conducted using cornstalkresidue and supplementation was used as part ofthe development program for replacement heifers(Larson et al., 2010 Nebraska Beef Report). Whilegrazing corn residue heifers were supplementedwith 1 to 2 lb/hd/da dry matter basis of a 28% crudeprotein cube. Yearling pregnancy rate variedbetween 84% and 92% and subsequent pregnancyrate as 2-year-olds of these same females rangedbetween 77% and 100%. The data suggests whenheifers were supplemented at the higher rate,reproductive performance was numerically

greater. A producer could consider, when it can beeconomical, using DDGS as the supplementbecause it is a good protein (30% CP) and energysource.

Spring-calving heifers in mid-gestation grazingresidue fields the first 25 days will likely meet boththeir protein and energy needs and should gainweight and body condition, especially if some cornis available. After the grain has been consumed,protein and energy supplementation appear to beneeded. The remaining corn reside is between 53to 54% TDN and crude protein during this timeperiod will be about 5.3% CP. For the 1,020 poundheifer in mid-gestation and average body condi-tion, energy and protein in the diet are deficient.These heifers are approximately 0.60 to 0.70pounds deficient in crude protein and 0.7 lb to 0.9deficient in energy. Because distillers grains areexcellent protein and energy source and becausethere is a calculated deficiency in both protein andenergy, it appears to be a good fit.

Lactating, fall-calving cows grazing crop residueneed careful attention at least through the breed-ing season because nutrient needs are high andnutrients supplied from the residue don’t meettheir needs. In an experiment comparing calvingseasons, August calving cows were supplemented 1lb/hd/da of a 28% protein supplement while graz-ing cornstalk residue from October to April (Griffinet al., 2010 Nebraska Beef Report). Rebreedingperformance was 90%, but percentage of calvesweaned per cow exposed was 85.7% for cows sup-plemented at this rate. Distillers grains could beused as the supplement source in this manage-ment strategy.

Corn byproducts can be used as a protein orenergy supplement in cow diets. These feeds whenfed in high forage diets, do not have a negativeeffect on how the overall diet is utilized by the beefanimal. Over feeding protein is usually not recom-mended because protein is expensive and anyexcess protein ingested by the cow is used as ener-gy. Because of the unique energy and protein pro-files of corn co-products, it may be economical tooverfeed one nutrient to meet the requirement ofanother nutrient.

Live cattle trade is flat to lower on the week head-ing into Thursday. The charts are mixed with pres-sure on the nearby, but deferred contracts are holdingup with some new highs printed this week. Lightcash trade developed in the $97/$153 which to us is apositive item that should limited downside nearterm. The futures are pricing-in further cashstrength, but the bulls are receiving a gut check rightnow. The April 2011 futures did print $103/cwt thisweek which is a great upside milestone. This also hasus thinking hedgers need to make sure you do takeprotection in this area and do not get caught payingup for feeders. Cash trade is typically slow ahead of

the Labor Day holiday, and show lists are large whichmay limit upside in the week ahead. Processing mar-gins remain comfortable which has early askingprices at $101/$160. The cutout values finished loweron Friday with choice down 44 at 163.86 and selectwas down 68 at 157.56. So the cutout values are hold-ing up to support live cash trade in the mid to upper$90 range. On the October chart, live cattle did finishbelow the 10-day last Friday and is now down at the20-day at 9725. If we do slip below here the next areaof chart support is down at 9475-9560 where we findthe 40-day and 50-day moving averages. Hedgers callwith questions.

Lean hog trade has been flat to lower this past week dueto profit taking by market longs and a soft tone to the cashmarket. The weekly net changes are just slightly lower, butthe October contract is nearly $5 below the high printed justover a month ago. Cash trade was higher briefly last week,but the sharp drop in carcass values created a negative mar-ket. Follow-through selling interest and new chart sellinghas been observed. Cash trade will likely stay softer lookinginto next week due to seasonal weakness ahead of the holi-day. Sow slaughter continues to decline sharply and it is now21% below the 3-year average, which indicates herd expan-sion. This has us thinking we may have printed some highs.On the chart, the October and December contracts bothclosed below the 100-day moving average last Friday. Onebright spot for the moment is the market has avoided asharper decline for now. But it appears as though we arewaiting for confirmation of lower cash trade next weekbefore we may test the next downside chart area. Chart sup-port is down around $73 on the October contract.

Some “Junkers” have survived all six previousjaunts and are planning to come back for more whileothers are planning their very first Junk Jaunt©.

Fun lovers, bargain hunters, collectors or adven-ture seekers, seasoned veterans or novices are allinvited to take part in the 7th annual Nebraska’sJunk Jaunt©, scheduled for Sept 24-26, 2010.

Thirty towns in north-central Nebraska are plan-ning city-wide garage sales during the same threedays (Sept. 24-26), plus some sales at farms andranches between towns. The route between all thir-ty towns follows two of Nebraska’s most scenic high-ways (11, 91, 2) and covers over 300 miles of “Shop ‘tilyou drop” fun.

In 2009, shoppers and buyers from 34 states and 70of Nebraska’s 93 counties were documented, accord-ing to Peggy Haskell, the Junk Jaunt’s volunteercoordinator. All indications point toward Junk Jaunt©

2010 being bigger and better than last year.

Event organizers have compiled a 112 pageShopper Guide to aid survivors and newcomers intheir search for that “special treasure.”

This printed guide has a map of each of the 30 par-ticipating towns, a listing of over 400 vendors (sales)and some of the items that can be found at each sale.

Until Sept 15th, a mail order copy of this shopperguide can be purchased online using PayPal or yourcredit card or by sending $7.00 to Junk Jaunt, P.O.Box 21, Burwell, NE 68823. After the Sept 15thdeadline, the shopper guide will be available in eachparticipating Junk Jaunt© town, in a few selectedsites outside the area or through the websitewww.junkjaunt.com.

One couple described the Junk Jaunt© as “the bestvacation we’ve had in years,” while another lady callsit “a three-day shopping marathon.”

Junkers will find anything from antique saddles tomachinery, semi trucks and farm tractors to Barbie

dolls, sauerkraut and dumplings to Nebraska steaks,model trains to old windows and much, much more.

No proof of shopping experience or “garage saleDNA” is required to be a part of this Junk Jaunt©

reunion. Some towns will have Junk Jaunt© souvenirs for

sale or free Junk Jaunt Survivor bumper stickers.www.junkjaunt.com can answer most of your ques-tions but information can also be obtained by calling308-346-4815 .

See you at the Junk Jaunt© Survivors Reunion,September 24-26, 2010.

“We still export about a third of our productionoverseas. That hasn’t really changed much overthe years,” Ibach said.

What has changed is the competitiveness of theworld marketplace.

Ibach and Nelson, who represented NebraskaFarm Bureau on the recent trade mission, said it’snot enough to produce the highest-quality prod-ucts in the world and offer them for sale. Salesdepend on creating and maintaining relationshipswith trading partners.

“If we don’t provide it (an ag product), someoneelse will,” Nelson said. “... We need to sell as muchas we can wherever we can. Why wouldn’t wewant to do that?”

An agreement was signed Aug. 10 by Nebraskacommodity leaders and representatives of Taiwanfeed, oil and flour mill associations for the sale ofan estimated $436 million to $516 million worth ofNebraska corn, soybeans and wheat over the nexttwo years.

The signers will promote negotiations betweenTaiwan importers and private commodity suppli-ers, with targets of 800,000 to 1 million metrictons of corn, valued at $176 million to $220 mil-lion; 300,000 to 320,000 metric tons of soybeans,valued at $120 million to $128 million; and500,000 to 600,000 metric tons of wheat, valued at$140 million to $168 million.

Ibach said Nebraska officials knew of the oppor-tunity for grain sales from representatives of theTaipei Economic and Cultural Office in KansasCity, Mo., so it was important for Nebraskans torenew contacts with Taiwan created over a 28-year trade relationship.

Relationship building often takes time to yieldtangible results.

Ibach said there is significant growth inTaiwan’s demand for beef, so the trade missionincluded meetings about potential beef (and pork)sales and included events hosted for invitedguests at restaurants that serve Nebraska beef.

“We were really there to build markets,” saidNelson, who is NFB’s first vice president. “... Iwouldn’t be surprised to see some deals on meatsin the future.”

He said face-to-face relationships are keys toprogress in the marketplace or when promoting agpolicies.

“We talk about this a lot in Farm Bureau, evenwhen we do policy work,” Nelson said. “You makethe contacts with your representatives and thethings you talk about may not have an effect thatday, but we believe they will in the future. Ifyou’re not there, someone else is there with theirmessage.

“If Nebraskans aren’t there (in foreign markets),people from other states are there. If Americansaren’t there, people from other countries will be.”

He said some of the “fanciest” restaurants inTaiwan and Hong Kong don’t just want U.S. beef,they want Nebraska beef.

Consumers with the means to shop in high-endgrocery stores also recognize the state brand. TheNebraska trade delegates stood near meat coun-ters and watched people buy $50 packages of beef.

Nelson said lower-priced cuts also sold well, “butthere still was this clear choice of Nebraska andAmerican products.”

He was surprised at the openness of China’smarkets and the important role Taiwan and HongKong play in giving importers access to the main-land. Nelson said Taiwan has access to more thana dozen mainland river ports, including some that

allow ships to travel to up-river points.“The working relationship between Taiwan and

mainland China is improving,” he said, whichbenefits the many U.S. companies that base theirChina operations in Taiwan. “The same, I believe,is true in Hong Kong.”

Stories about how grains and meats are pro-duced remain important to Asian consumers.“Purchasers, even at the distribution level, theywant to hear the story of what happens on yourfarm,” Nelson said, which is why it’s important tohave ag producers on trade missions.

Ibach said the missions allow Nebraskans torespond to trading partners’ concerns. A big one inrecent years is that Nebraska’s ethanol industrywill draw down corn supplies.

“You alleviate those concerns so they don’t looksomeplace else for their corn,” Ibach said, byexplaining that livestock feed remains as a co-product after ethanol processing and high cornprices in 2008 had more to do with market specu-lating than actual supply-and-demand issues.

Taiwan buyers can purchase ag products fromBrazil, Argentina and other exporting countries,Ibach said, “So we go there to remind them thatwe do want to be there and we do want their busi-ness, how we do things, and just tell our story.”

A key sales pitch always is the reliability ofNebraska’s grain supplies because of irrigation.Ibach said a man they visited with in Taiwanremembered that fact from a past trade event andstarted telling that part of the Nebraska storybefore he could.

“The key is to get them to remember us whenthey’re ready to order,” Ibach said.
