In its official comments submittedto the U.S. Department of State onthe proposed Keystone XL pipeline,the Nebraska Farmers Union raisedquestions about the ownership of theoil to be transported by the pipeline.
The farm organization providedinformation from the CanadianAssociation of Petroleum Producersthat indicates substantial foreignownership of tar sands oil. The
organization also noted a recent NewYork Times editorial that said,"three fourths of the oil to be trans-ported by the TransCanada XLpipeline is destined for export."
"These two sources of informationcause us to ask: Does the StateDepartment know who owns the oiland its destination? If the StateDepartment does not know, it isimperative that it finds out. The
final destination of this oil goes tothe heart of the matter relative tonational interests," the FarmersUnion's comments said.
Pipeline proponents have main-tained that it will improve nationalsecurity and reduce the nation'sreliance on Mideast oil.

Al Dutcher ReportWeather Commentary Provided By Al Dutcher—UNL, State Climatologist
After nearly threeweeks of precipitationfree weather for muchof the state, a powerfulslow moving upper airtrough brought signifi-cant moisture to thewestern 2/3 of the stateduring the October 7-9time frame.Precipitation totalsranged from 1-4inches, with the heav-iest totals recorded incentral Nebraska.
Further east totals dropped into the 0.25 - 0.76inch range. Another quick moving system movedthrough the state during the 10/11-10/12 timeframe and brought an additional 0.25-0.75 inchesof moisture to the eastern 1/3 of the state.Although the moisture will slow down harvestactivity, it will significantly reduce the fire dangerthat had been moderate to extreme with the warmtemperatures that proceeded the passage of the
upper air trough. There are several chances ofmoisture during the upcoming two week period,but enough drying should occur between events toallow producers the opportunity to make signifi-cant gains in regards to harvest activities.
Week One Forecast, 10/15 - 10/21: Weathermodels indicate that a quick moving system willcross the northern Plains on 10/15 and bring achance of light showers to the northern ½ of thestate during the later half of the day. A slightlystronger wave of energy is projected to follow onthe heels of the first system and bring light tomoderate moisture to the state on 10/16.Precipitation with this system should clear thestate during the first half of 10/17 and then highpressure is forecasted to bring dry conditions toNebraska through 10/20. Another system is fore-casted to move into the region from the northernPlains on 10/21 with precipitation breaking outduring the evening hours across the Panhandle.High Temperatures: 10/15-10/16 (mid 60's NE -upper 70's SW), 10/17-10/18 (low 50's N - mid 60'sSW), 10/19 (mid 50's NE - low 70's SW), 10/20 (low
60's NE - mid 70's SW), 10/21 (mid j50's N - mid60's S),
Week Two Forecast, 10/22 - 10/28: Light showersare possible across the eastern 2/3 of the state on10/22, with moisture ending by the evening hours.High pressure then builds into the central U.S. forthe 10/23-10/25 period. Weather models indicatethat a potent upper level low will move throughthe western U.S. during the 10/26-10/28 periodand increase the chances for moisture acrossNebraska. Often weather models move theselarge troughs too fast, so it is possible that thesystem may enter the central Plains region laterthan currently forecasted. If this system verifies,it is possible that widespread moisture will fallacross the state, with the possibility of accumu-lating snowfall across the western 1/3 ofNebraska. High Temperatures: 10/22 (mid 50's N- upper 60's SE), 10/23 (upper 40's NE - upper 50'sS), 10/24 (upper 50's NE - low 70's SW), 10/25(upper 60's NE - upper 70's SW), 10/26 (low 40'sNW - upper 50's SE), 10/27 (low 40's N - upper 40'sS), 10/28 (low 40's NE - low 50's SW).

Computers are common and in many cases,essential, in homes, schools and the work-place. Longer hours in front of a computer cancause eyestrain and muscle aches.
Eyestrain can be reduced by taking visionbreaks. Change the focus of the eye byglancing across the room or out the windowfrom time to time. Look at an object at least 20feet away. Roll or blink the eyes. Close eyestightly for a few seconds. Such vision breakshelp your eyes function better.
Working at a computer often requires sittingstill for a period of time. Movement of theeyes, head, arms and fingers are small.Retaining a fixed posture can cause fatigue.
The height of the chair and desk can make adifference. Adjust both to fit your body.Posture supports for back, arms, wrists, legsor feet are available.
Take a break from computer work every houror two. Stand up and stretch or walk around.
These are some exercises for relaxingmuscles that can be done while at your desk.
SHOULDER ROLL - Slowly roll shouldersforward several times in a circular motion.Then roll shoulders backward.
NECK ROLL - Let your head drop slowly tothe left, then to the right. Slowly drop yourchin to your chest; then raise your chin ashigh as you can. Turn your head all the way tothe left, return it to the normal position andthen turn your head all the way to the right.Return to the normal position.
SIDE STRETCH - Interlace your fingers.Lift your arms up over your head keeping yourelbows straight. Press your arms backwardsas far as you can. Then slowly lean first to theleft and then to the right until you can feel thestretch along your sides.
WRIST FLEX - Put your elbows on a tablewith your hand raised. With your other hand,hyperextend your wrist to bend your hand sothat the back of your hand is aiming to the topof our forearm. Repeat with opposite hand.

• To color granulated sugar, put one to threedrops of food coloring in a small jar. Swirl thefood coloring in the jar. Pour in one-fourth toone-third cup granulated sugar; shake vigor-ously until evenly colored.
• To make the equivalent of one-half cupbrown sugar, blend together one-half cup ofgranulated white sugar with two tablespoonsunsulfured molasses.
• To soften hard brown sugar, put the brownsugar in a rust-proof container. Place a pieceof plastic wrap or foil on top of the sugar. Foldseveral paper towels into a square anddampen them. Place the towels on the plasticor foil, and seal the container tightly. Thesugar will absorb moisture and become soft ina half a day. Remove the paper towels and foilor plastic wrap. Store sugar in tightly sealedcontainer. One or two pieces of bread will alsowork to soften brown sugar.

There are several items that need to betaken care of now if they haven’t been already.Here are some simple reminders and steps tohelp finish up some projects around the lawnbefore it gets any cooler.
Draining Water Lines and Garden HosesNow is the time to clear out sprinkler lines
and garden hoses before they freeze and burst.Empty garden hoses by stretching them out ina straight line before coiling them up. Thewater will run out when the hose is coiled overthe arm or on hose stand. Store the coiled hosein a place where UV rays will not break downthe hose material. A dark corner of a garage orshed is a good place to place these for thewinter.
Sprinkler systems are set fairly shallow inthe surface of the soil. While there is someprotection from the weather, sprinkler linescan be damaged or burst the lines when theground freezes for the winter. First, if there isa shut-off valve, close it off. Next, run thesprinkler system’s zone to bleed off the lines.If the homeowner does not feel comfortabledraining out the sprinkler system, contact alocal professional to drain the system andblow out the lines.
Mulching Fall LeavesLeaves are falling in earnest now, and it has
been fun to watch children play in area yards.Outside of the fun, what do we do with all theleaves on the lawn? Collecting, bagging andremoving leaves can be a very time consumingprocess that is ongoing throughout the latefall. The wind also has an uncanny ability toblow the neighbor’s leaves into your yard too!Instead of spending all that time and energy
removing leaves, why not compost them withthe help of the mower?
First, check the mower blades to make surethey are sharp to help shred the leaves as fineas possible. Second, mow over the leaves whenthey are dry to help increase the ability toshred. Third, mow the lawn at its regularheight three or four passes slowly to shred theleaves as fine as possible so they fall into thelawn, and not cover the turf. Turfgrass willstill need to have access to sunlight tocontinue photosynthesis, and store carbohy-drates to build a strong root system. Themulching process will probably need to berepeated to keep the lawn from being coveredwith leaves for the duration of the fall.
Final Lawn FertilizationCool season lawn turf such as bluegrass and
fescue can be fertilized one last time beforespring. This last fertilization will help boostthe photosynthesis rate of the turf, and buildcarbohydrate reserves in the plant to helplawns green up in the spring. Late fertiliza-tion can also help increase the lawn’s winterhardiness, root growth and desirable,moderate shoot growth in the spring.
Apply 1/2 to 1 pound of actual nitrogen per1000 square feet of area to the lawn.Remember to look on the fertilizer label toensure than at least a full pound of nitrogen isapplied, not a pound of total fertilizer. Solublefertilizers that contain urea or ammoniumsulfate are desired in this application to helpensure that turf is receiving the nitrogen itneeds as soon as possible. Avoid using slow-release, or water insoluble fertilizer.

Everyone has their own theory of how wegot so messed up in this country. I thinkyou are probably, right this moment,holding the answer in your hands.
The downtown of a city near us used to bea quaint collection of thriving mom and popstores but today it is a hollowed out assort-ment of vacant buildings and eateries, mostof which are starving because consumersare watching every penny, and many can’tfind a job. I talked to one man who wasgoing out of business and he explained thathis store had become nothing more than ashowroom for folks to check out themerchandise before going online to buy itcheaper. And without any sales tax! So hehad to fire five people.
The man I bought my last car from wasforced to sell out for the same reason as hissalespeople were spending their timegiving free test rides to folks who had nointention of buying the car because theycould get a better deal online from a dealerin the big city. And so the “too big to fail”get bigger, while mom and pop sell out.
The newsstand I used to love went out ofbusiness and fired more folks becauseconsumers are downloading the samecontent they used to sell. Borders wentbroke and many newspapers are teeteringbecause people are reading their newspa-pers online and not paying for a subscrip-tion. Music stores and video stores shut-
tered their doors for the same reason. Hey,why buy the cow when you get your milk forfree?
There are two empty bank buildings intown, one of them was shut down by theFeds and the other was merged out of exis-tence. The tellers lost their jobs becausemore folks are banking online or at theATM. No need for a building or the folkswho worked there.
And we wonder why there is 9% unem-ployment?
The Post Office is broke big time becauseeverybody is e mailing instead, so they’reslashing jobs and probably going to do awaywith Saturday delivery. The gas and elec-tric company that provides me services justannounced they were installing “smartmeters.” There went the meter reader’s job.And I notice more and more self checkoutlines at the grocery store, so more singlemoms who fed their family cashiering arenow applying for unemployment.
I recently saw a painter make arrange-ments to paint a house and he didn’t have apen on his person. “No problem,” he said,“who needs paper and pencil? I’ll just put iton my I-Phone.” That’s why both stationerystores in town went out of business.
And we wonder why people are out ofwork?
All this modern technology is great untilyou realize that folks have to have jobs in
order to afford it. Oh well, the unemployedwill have more time to Tweet, check ontheir Facebook friends, and blog about thehard times. Change is necessary but theInternet revolution hit so hard and so fastthat entire industries did not have time toadjust. And we can’t all make a livingdesigning web pages.
They say all this technology will make usmore efficient but I just spent 30 minuteswatching a painter, paint gun in one handand cell phone in the other. I swear he wason the phone the entire time and barelyapplied any paint.
The Internet has allowed hackers todisrupt our lives and perverts to prey onour kids. We’re all having our identitiesstolen, in more ways than one, as people onthe street barely acknowledge each otherbecause they’re too busy texting; in compe-tition with each other to see who has themost Facebook friends. We have a child-hood obesity problem in this countrybecause our kids are all indoors, sitting ontheir haunches playing Madden Football,instead of being outside playing the realthing.
Meanwhile, far too many of us are in adormant trance, staring at the screens onour cell phones, looking for a job.

TheClockmaker's
Caramel CoatedPopcorn
(A Haunted Recipe)
In 1921, a Germanborn clockmaker quithis well respected jobto open a popcorn
stand in Chicago’s Wicker Park District. Theclockmaker’s typical fare was freshly poppedpopcorn drizzled with warm butter and sprinkledwith salt; but his favorite, and most belovedpopcorn, was his caramel coated popcorn. Therecipe he used to make it was given to him fromhis only true love, who tragically died four yearsearlier during World War I. The tattered and tornrecipe, which was scribbled on the inside of an oldplaybill, was carefully framed and sealed in anexquisite frame. The clockmaker faithfully tookthe framed recipe with him everywhere he went.By the summer of 1924, the clockmaker’s caramelcoated popcorn had captivated the entire city’sattention; everyone was frantically lining up athis busy stand to buy the sweet, sticky confection.A few months later, just as the clockmaker waspreparing to close his stand for the day, a smallfire ignited near the stove. The clockmakerinstinctively ran out to call for help. When hereturned, just seconds later, he rememberedleaving the framed recipe hanging on the wall.The clockmaker quickly ran into the burningstand to retrieve the recipe, but he never made itout. When the fire inspectors went into thecharred ruins to investigate the accident, theyfound the clockmaker’s frame lying in a pile ofsmoking debris. The frame was in pristine condi-tion; not a dent, nor a blemish, could be seen on it.However, the recipe was gone. The recipe for theclockmaker’s caramel popcorn recently surfacedand is beginning to circulate around the globe.Unfortunately, many people think the recipe ishaunted because it is believed that if your clockstops running after making the recipe it’s becausethe clockmaker has paid you a visit in hopes ofreclaiming his long, lost recipe.

The U.S. Postal Service is an integral part ofAmerican life, especially in rural communities. Inrural areas like the Third District, residents relyon the USPS for the delivery of prescription drugs,retail purchases, business mail, and cards fromloved ones. In fact, you are likely reading thiscolumn in a newspaper delivered through themail.
Despite being a vital part of American historyand culture, the USPS is struggling to stay finan-cially solvent and risks facing bankruptcy. Citinga $3.1 billion shortfall in the second quarter of theyear, the USPS recently released a list of 3,600post offices to study for potential closure, whichincluded many rural facilities. It is clear theUSPS must take drastic steps to fix its budgetdeficit, but it is unreasonable to put the brunt ofthis responsibility on rural customers.Understanding the importance of rural post officesto communities in the Third District, I havecontinued to work to prevent the USPS frombalancing its budget at the expense of ruralcustomers.
In April of this year, I, along with my colleaguesfrom Nebraska, sent a letter to the Postmaster
General of the USPS urging the agency to accountfor the impact on local communities when consid-ering the closing or consolidation of a rural mailfacility. My office also has contacted more than1,300 individuals in the communities with postoffices under review, and co-hosted aCongressional Rural Caucus briefing to drawattention to the benefits of rural post offices andthe need for USPS to look elsewhere for cost-savings.
H.R. 1351, a piece of legislation supported bypostal labor unions, recently has gained a greatdeal of attention. I have expressed a number ofconcerns with this legislation. In reality, thismeasure does nothing to address rural post officeclosures. Instead, the bill changes existing law toallow the USPS to receive up to $75 billion inbailout funding from a civil service retirementaccount. This account is used not only for postalservice retirees, but also for military retirees.
Even USPS officials admit H.R. 1351 does notresolve issues the organization faces in the comingyears. As we in Nebraska know, short-term fixesoften create long-term problems. For instance,this year alone members of two postal labor unions
will receive raises totaling more than $270 million.Closing all 3,600 post offices on the recentlyreleased study list will save only $200 million –not even enough to cover union pay increases thisyear. The Postal Service expects a $238 billionshortfall by 2020, so even cutting a $75 billionbailout check directly from the Treasury will notmake it solvent.
Long-term, structural reforms are the best solu-tion to put the USPS on a path to fiscal sustain-ability. These reforms include asking postalemployees to pay the same for health benefits asthe rest of the federal workforce, allowing foradvertisement sales on postal vehicles, or shiftingto mailbox on the curb delivery, which could saveas much as $100 per house annually.
When the Postal Service originally was createdit was charged with a mission to serve all commu-nities – both urban and rural – with prompt, reli-able, and efficient services. It is important theUSPS upholds this original mission while at thesame time fixing its bottom line. As this issuecontinues to be debated and considered, I will keepworking to ensure rural communities have a seatat the table.

Honoring Adoption Heroesby Senator Mike Johanns
It is always a true honor to recognizeNebraskans who are making a profound differ-ence in their communities – citizens who areliterally changing lives at a very basic level.
This week I will have the pleasure of meetingwith a Kearney couple who has gone above andbeyond in making a positive difference in thelives of children. Paul and Mandy Mueting areheaded to Washington, D.C., to be honored as2011 Angels in Adoption. I nominated them forthis distinguished award because they areshining examples of the life-changing power ofadoption and foster care.
Paul and Mandy's story touched my heart.After the birth of their biological daughterLydia, they felt called to raise more children.They also couldn't imagine any child beingdeprived of love and stability.
Paul and Mandy began the process of adop-tion in 2007 after learning about a youngmother who was considering relinquishing her
parental rights to her 22-month-old and 4-month-old sons. For several months, theyprayed and waited while serving as fosterparents to Steven and Edward. In an unex-pected turn, their birth mother decided to giveparenting a second try. The following year, theMuetings were overjoyed by news that anotherbirth mother had selected their family andwished to place her soon-to-be-born son withthem. They welcomed Evan into their familywith open arms.
In 2009, having seen the love and care Pauland Mandy provided, Steven and Edward's momonce again looked their way, and suddenly Pauland Mandy were faced with the opportunity andresponsibility of doubling the number of chil-dren in their family overnight. The decision waseasy for them and in 2010 the adoption wasmade final. The Muetings are now a happy andhealthy family of six.
Paul and Mandy say they know this is whatthey were called to do and will now use thisexperience to mentor other families consideringadoption. There are currently more than400,000 children in the United States waitingfor a permanent home and many of those chil-dren wait an average of three years. That's along time in the life of a child. These are heart-breaking statistics, but people like theMuetings are making them better through theirselfless commitment to provide hope and ahome for vulnerable children.
I am honored to recognize this family for theirincredible commitment. So many children haveyet to experience the blessing of a safe andloving home, caring parents to guide them intoadulthood, and hope for the future. I encourageothers who may feel called to open their heartsand homes to children in need to step forwardand give a child something all children deserve– a home and a loving family.

When I’m home on weekends people talk tome about their jobs, their families and, oftenthese days, what Washington should do to bringdown the national debt.
One thing I don’t hear them telling me to do israise their taxes. Nebraskans tell meWashington should cut spending first and Ialways keep that in mind when I’m at work inthe U.S. Senate.
Cutting spending always runs into Special Interest Protectors
That’s why a letter I recently got from ahandful of my Senate colleagues caught myattention. They were upset with some budgetcuts I’ve proposed. They made an argument youhear a lot in Washington: cut spending but don’tcut this budget or that program. It’s too impor-tant.
If Washington follows that advice as it tries tomake major budget cuts this Fall, you’ll becounting the savings with pennies.
I am Chairman of the Senate AppropriationsSubcommittee on the Legislative Branch, whichhandles spending for Capitol Hill. This includesbudgets for the Capitol Police, the Architect of
the Capitol, the Library of Congress, theGovernment Accountability Office, and our ownoffice budgets as senators or representatives.
We’ve Made Responsible and Real CutsSince I became chairman several years ago,
I’ve worked in a bipartisan way to reduceLegislative Branch spending. This year,Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota, theranking member on my committee, and I puttogether a Legislative Branch bill that cuts 5.2percent in fiscal year 2012. That cuts severalhundred million dollars.
We made responsible and real cuts, and werepleased it got strong bipartisan backing when itwas sent to the full Senate for consideration.
It wasn’t a much of surprise, however, to getthe letter from my colleagues raising a red flag.While they welcomed the cutting SenatorHoeven and I did overall, they singled out oneagency they said should be exempt and calledthe proposed cuts excessive.
In my view, there will always be someone’sfavored agency or program that will have to dowith less.
For months I’ve talked about the need forshared sacrifice to tackle the debt. While Icertainly will listen to people’s concerns, andthere could be more pushback from others inCongress, I won’t back down from that prin-ciple.
Washington Doesn’t Get ItToo often, Washington just doesn’t get it.
People in Washington say they want to cutspending, until the hard choices have to bemade. I stand by our bill because I’m ready tomake hard choices. Moreover, the example ourbill sets can be a model for all of Washington.
The reality is the bureaucracy never wants tobe cut. I learned that when we had to tightenthe belt to balance the state budget all eightyears I was governor of Nebraska. We alwayshad to do what people told us we couldn’t do,but we got it done anyway.
This is such a time in Washington.Washington has to cut spending in a respon-sible way, with shared sacrifice, by workingtogether, and it won’t be easy. Our future, theeconomy and jobs for thousands of Nebraskansand millions of Americans, depend on it.

Corn trade is stronger midweek after a limit move onTuesday before the October Supply and Demand Report.Talk of significant end user and exporter pricing helped fuelthe move, along with supportive outside markets.Wednesday’s report was slightly negative to corn. The week-ly net change is 41 higher on the December Chicago con-tract. The contract was also able to achieve the 40% retrace-ment of the break this week at 6.50 on the December con-tract. The corn portion of the report was as follows; thedomestic carryover came in at 866 million bushels versusthe average trade guess of 806 million. Global carryovergrew to 123.19 million metric tons versus expectations of120; this is up 6 million tons from last month. The USDAlowered harvested area by 500,000 acres and planted areaby 400,000. This was widely discussed this summer, so not asurprise. Total production was reduced by 64 million bushelsversus last month down to 12.433 billion versus the averagetrade guess of 12.471. The yield was unchanged at 148.1 ver-sus the average trade guess of 148.7. The dollar has slid thisweek, trading 3 points below the recent highs. Increasingoptimism about a workable Eurozone solution is fueling aslow move back into risk for funds, as most commodity class-es have seen a significant bounce the past week. Exportinterest has been noted with a 200,000 Metric ton sale ofcorn to Mexico, and unconfirmed reports of China buying 1.5Million Metric Tons of corn for spring delivery. During themidsummer break we saw Chinese buying show up in a bigway, and the market looks to be well supported on breaksbelow $6 as end user see value there. Upside will likely belimited to the $6.50-$7.00 range in the near future. Theweekly crop progress report on Monday listed the crop as89% mature versus the 88% 5-year average. Harvest wasestimated at 33% complete versus the 32% 5-year average.The crop ratings were improved 2 at 53% good to excellent.Exports are delayed until Friday due to the holiday, but theUSDA confirmed 900,000 metric ton sale to China Thursdaymorning, and 292,100 metric tons to unknown destinations.Hedgers call with questions.

The wheat market saw a negative supply and demandreport which drove wheat futures down at midweek. TheUS carryover came in at 837 million bushels which wasabove all expectations and up 76 million from theSeptember report. World carryover rose to 202.37 millionmetric tons which was well above expectations of 194.64.The increase was due to the higher US carryover and a3.5 million ton jump in the Australian carryover. Plantedarea was dropped by 800,000 acres on the US balanceand the yield was down to 43.9 versus 45.2 on the lastreport. This followed a strong bounce with the row cropson Tuesday, some of which the Chicago and KC contractswere able to maintain. Weekly net change is 19 higher onthe December Chicago contract, KC is up 27, andMinneapolis is 15 lower. The Chicago December contracthas lost its premium to December corn for the moment.This should encourage wheat feeding again; howeversuspected wheat feeding this summer does not seem tohave shown up on USDA reports yet. Weather itemsinclude significant rainfall for HRW growing areas, andthe drought has been bent in many areas after last week-ends stationary rain system .This should be sufficient toget the crop out of the ground in most areas. Russia islooking at imposing an export duty on sales over 23Million Metric Tons, which should support US exportsdown the road. For the time being, US exports willstruggle to find traction though. India reported an 86Million Metric Ton crop, which will keep them self suffi-cient and potential a minor exporting nation. The down-ward chart trend is intact, but spillover direction fromthe grains and outside markets however, will continue todirect trade. Feed wheat interest was noted from Asia.Winter wheat planting came in at 59%, 67% being the 5year average, and emergence was at 28%, below the 5year average at 38%. Exports are delayed until Friday.

WHEATLAND, Wyo. -- Grants totaling morethan $671,000 will expand a Wyoming ranchmanagement skills development program intoNebraska and Colorado.
Four ranch practicums will be offered peryear: two in Wyoming, one in Nebraska and onein Colorado, said Dallas Mount, University ofWyoming Cooperative Extension Serviceeducator based in Platte County and grantrecipient.
The High Plains Ranch Practicum, alreadyestablished in eastern Wyoming, is a hands-onprogram designed to build ranch managementskills and tools.
Mount, who started the practicum with AaronBerger of University of Nebraska-LincolnExtension, noted the schools are eight full daysspread over several months.
The new schools will be offered beginningspring 2012.
"They will cover what we see as four focusareas for successful ranching: range and foragemanagement, nutrition and reproduction,financial management, and family andemployee working relationships," said Mount.
A beginning rancher supplemental programwill be offered for beginning ranchers from anyof the four ranch practicums.
UNL and Colorado State University are co-authors of the grant and are co-project direc-tors. The $670,890 grant is through the USDANational Institute of Food and Agriculture. Theprogram will also have $167,722 in cost-sharefunds.
Program partners are the Wyoming StockGrowers Association, Colorado Cattlemen's
Association and the Nebraska Grazing LandsCoalition.
The partner organizations will distributescholarships to attend schools, train ranchermentors to work with targeted beginningranchers and provide information/education tobeginning ranchers at annual meetings andthrough quarterly publications.
"The High Plains Ranch Practicum school hasbeen successful in training beginning and expe-rienced ranchers since it began in 2005," saidMount. "This grant program seemed to us to bean excellent fit with the ranch practicum, andthe team that came together around thisproposal was unique and greatly strengthenedthe proposal."

Smith, Johanns Support Trade AgreementsBy Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent
Pending trade agreements between the U.S.and Colombia, Panama and South Korea havebeen sent to Congress by the Obama adminis-tration and they have the support of Rep.Adrian Smith and Sen. Mike Johanns ofNebraska.
Smith said the trade agreements are goodnews for Nebraska.
"These agreements will create opportunity forNebraska's farmers, ranchers, and manufac-turers by creating quality jobs, expandingexports, and strengthening our economy,"Smith said. "All three pending trade agree-ments " Colombia, Panama, and South Korea "enjoy broad bipartisan support in the Houseand Senate, so I look forward to immediatelymoving forward on passage."
Smith serves on the Committee on Ways andMeans and its Subcommittee on Trade.
Johanns said the three pending trade agree-ments have been delayed for years.
"I'm pleased that after more than four longyears we are finally voting on the pendingtrade agreements, and I look forward to being avery enthusiastic yes vote," Johanns said.
Johanns said he is not certain when MajorityLeader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will bring theagreements up for consideration in the Senate.
"Farmers and ranchers across Nebraska andour country have been waiting a long time forincreased access to these markets and the
opportunity to create jobs," Johanns said. "I'mhopeful Sen. Reid, the majority leader, willmake these agreements a top priority on theSenate calendar to open the door for jobcreation."
The U.S. trade agreements with Colombia,Panama, and South Korea have been awaitingcongressional action since their signing morethan four years ago.
According to Johanns, failure to implementthese agreements could result in the loss of upto 380,000 American jobs.
He said since the U.S.-Colombia TradePromotion Agreement was signed in November2006, U.S. exporters have paid almost $3.8billion in tariffs that would be eliminatedunder the agreement. Estimates say the agree-ment would boost U.S. exports to Colombia by$1.1 billion.
According to Johanns, more than 90 percentof imports from Colombia already enter theU.S. duty free, while U.S. exports to Colombiaface tariffs as high as 35 percent.Approximately 88 percent of consumer andindustrial products and more than 60 percentof agricultural commodities exported toPanama would enter duty-free.
He said the U.S.-Panama Trade PromotionAgreement would expand trade between thetwo countries, eliminate tariffs and other tradebarriers and promote economic growth.
Implementing the U.S.-Korea TradePromotion Agreement, Johanns said, would
result in the reduction of tariffs on U.S. exportsto South Korea, increasing such exports byapproximately $10 billion annually. As a resultof the agreement, the U.S. Gross DomesticProduct would increase between $10-12 billion.
Bob Stallman, president of American FarmBureau Federation, said the three agreementsmoving forward is very good news for theeconomy.
"Now that the administration has done itspart, it's up to Congress to expedite thismatter," Stallman said.
He said it is vital that the process moveforward to ensure the agreements will be put inplace as soon as possible so a level playing fieldfor U.S. exports to these three nations can berestored.
According to Stallman, the three agreementsrepresent nearly $2.5 billion in new agricultureexports and would create the economic growththat could generate support for up to 22,500U.S. jobs. He said these gains will only be real-ized if the three agreements are passed byCongress and implemented.
"Without these agreements, over the last fouryears, Korea, Colombia and Panama haveopened their doors to our competitors. A furtherdelay will provide more benefits to our competi-tors at the expense of our economy," Stallmansaid.

Weed control activities can continue well intofall and it is the opportune time to get the bestresults on some of our most difficult weeds. A lotof our tough weeds thrive when the temperaturesare in the 40’s and 50’s in mid to late fall. Manyof the perennials and winter annuals get theirstart during early fall, particularly when there isabundant moisture. This doesn’t happen to bethe case this fall but, if and when we do receivemoisture, it is the best time to kill them.
Several reasons why fall is a good time to killweeds include. One, the leaves tend to have lesswax or cuticle on them, which allows the herbi-cide to enter the leaf more readily. Second, theweeds are in the process of translocating nutri-ents in fall, so the herbicide goes along for theride. Third, there are fewer veggies to damage infall. Fourth, if the plant doesn't die outright fromthe herbicide, it will enter the winter in a weak-ened state and more likely succumb to winterkill.
Here are some weed control operations thatcan be done during the next four to six weeks,weather permitting:
· Make herbicide applications for pennycressand downy brome control in established alfalfa.Karmex, Sencore/Lexone, and Sinbar should beapplied to dormant alfalfa.
· Treat musk thistle with Tordon; 2,4-D +Banvel; or Milestone. Use Tordon 22K at 6 to 8
ounces for November applications. Milestone orone of the combination products (ForeFront™ orChaparral™) containing Milestone does espe-cially well on all the thistles, including muskthistle and Canada thistle.
· Apply herbicides to vigorous fall growth ofCanada thistle and field bindweed. Use 2,4-D,Banvel or Roundup or combinations of any two ofthe products. Where the label permits, Milestonedoes an excellent job on Canada thistle. Researchshows that Milestone applied in the fall is nearly100% effective in control of Canada thistle.
· Apply turf herbicides for dandelion, chick-weed, ground ivy, henbit, shepherdspurse, blackmedic, and other perennials and winter annualsin lawns. A combination product, such as Trimec,that contains 2,4-D, mecoprop and dicamba(Banvel) will control most troublesome broadleafweeds. In garden spots limit use to Roundup and2,4-D because Banvel can cause residual carry-over problems.
· Clean up and winterize sprayers for storage.· Store liquid pesticides that might be
damaged by freezing, in a heated building. Thepesticide label provides guidelines for protectionagainst low temperatures when applicable. Dryforms of herbicides in labeled paper bags shouldbe protected from moisture by placing in plasticbags.
· Always read and follow the label whenusing pesticides!

MAUMEE, OHIO - The Andersons Inc.announced that construction will begin soon on a3.8 million-bushel-capacity grain elevator nearAnselmo in Custer County. It plans to begin oper-ation in time for the 2012 harvest.
"Constructing a new facility located in the centerof Nebraska fits well with our strategy to provideservice to customers west of our traditionaleastern Corn Belt market," said Chief ExecutiveOfficer Mike Anderson. "During the past 15months, we've expanded our operations inNebraska to nine locations, both through acquisi-tions and merchandising agreements."
The Anselmo facility is the first The Andersonshave constructed in Nebraska and will be CusterCounty's largest, according to a press release.Located on the Burlington Northern Santa FeRailroad main line, the elevator will have train-and truck-loading capabilities.
In late August, the Hub reported that the CusterCounty Board of Supervisors approved a condi-tional-use permit for a shuttle train-loadingelevator near Anselmo that is estimated to cost$15 million to $20 million.
The Andersons' Regional Director Jim Cripe saidthen that the facility will be capable of dumping 50truckloads of corn per hour and handling 500,000bushels of corn per day. The elevator will have aprojected annual grain volume of 13 million to 20million bushels and employ seven to 10 people.
Custer County Economic Development Corp.President Elizabeth Babcock said, "While this is atremendous economic development opportunity forour entire county, it is especially beneficial to ourfarmers to have value added to their grain and anadditional outlet that increases the efficiency andspeed with which their grain can move to endusers."

Legislation being introduced in Congress thatwould reduce or eliminate the volumes of renew-able fuel use required by the renewable fuel stan-dard (RFS) could hurt Nebraska's economy, saidTodd Sneller, administrator of the NebraskaEthanol Board.
A coalition of farm organizations and ethanolgroups is opposing the legislation introduced inthe House that would arbitrarily control theamount of corn used for ethanol based on stocks-to-use ratios.
Introducing the legislation, Rep. Bob Goodlatte,R-Va., said the federal government's creation of an"artificial market for the ethanol industry hasquite frankly created a domino effect that ishurting consumers."
"It is expected that this year about 40 percent ofthe U.S. corn crop will be used for ethanol produc-tion," Goodlatte said in a letter to his colleagues inthe U.S. House of Representatives. "Our legisla-tion will alter the RFS to give relief to our live-stock and food producers and consumers of theseproducts. This is a common sense solution to makesure that we have enough corn supplies to meetall of our demands."
The legislation is co-sponsored by Rep. JimCosta, D-Calif.
The legislation has the support of the NationalCattlemen's Beef Association.
"Cattlemen are not opposed to ethanol and we'renot looking for cheap corn. We simply want thefederal government to get out of the marketplaceand allow the market to work," said Kevin Kester,president of the California Cattlemen'sAssociation, which is an NCBA affiliate. Corn isthe main ingredient of livestock feed, which canmake up as much as 70 percent of a livestockproduction cost.
But reducing America's consumption of renew-able fuels based upon arbitrary, pre-determined
thresholds for corn demand and supply ratios isunnecessary and may lead to higher prices at thepump, according to the coalition opposing thelegislation. The coalition includes the AmericanCoalition for Ethanol (ACE), the American FarmBureau Federation (AFBF), Growth Energy, theNational Corn Growers Association (NCGA), theNational Farmers Union (NFU), the NationalSorghum Producers and the Renewable FuelAssociation (RFA).
"This legislation represents backward-lookingthinking regarding our economic and energy secu-rity," said NFU President Roger Johnson. "Weneed policy that continues to transition oureconomy away from imported fossil fuels andtoward homegrown biofuels."
Sneller said, "When we are sitting here lookingat more than 2 billion gallons of renewable fuelproduction, which is twice the fossil motor fuelconsumption in Nebraska, shouldn't we askourselves, Can we do better with our ownresources?'"
Nebraska has one of the stronger economies inthe nation with the country's second lowest unem-ployment rate. Sneller said much of that is due tothe growth of the state's ethanol industry, whichproduces more than 2 billion of ethanol annually,as aided by the passage of the renewable fuelstandard.
For example, since the RFS was introduced inCongress, Sneller said, the number of ethanolplants in the state has doubled and now totals 25,making Nebraska the second-largest ethanolproducer in the nation.
He said by creating another market for corn, ithas helped to increase the price producers werepaid. Next year, lawmakers in Washington will bedebating a new farm bill. But with the RFS, FarmBill payments have been eliminated because ofimproved corn prices, saving taxpayers billions ofdollars in government payments that were made
when corn prices dipped below the cost of produc-tion.
The increase in corn prices has also helped tofunnel more than $2 billion in improved prices tothe state's economy, as Nebraska is the nation'sthird-leading corn producer.
Prior to the RFS, in 2005, corn prices were aslow as $1.75 per bushel in Nebraska. Currently,cash prices are nearly $6 per bushel.
"When you look at the RFS, it was enacted inlate 2007, and we haven't even had this programin effect for four years," Sneller said.
He said Nebraska's ethanol industry didn'toccur overnight as it took more than 25 years todevelop it into a 2-billion-gallon-plus industry.Sneller said development of other renewableresources to replace corn's burden as a fuel sourcefor ethanol also will not happen overnight andmust be nurtured through both public and privatesector investment.
With the proposed legislation, Sneller said, thegovernment could nearly eliminate private invest-ment because of the instability of corn supplies.That, in turn, could also reduce private-sectorinvestment in other renewable resources thatcould be used to replace corn as a fuel supply.
The legislation being proposed in Congress, ifpassed, could diminish investment in renewablefuels in the nation, he said, thereby increasing thenation's dependency on foreign oil, such as theproposed Canadian pipeline being routed throughNebraska's Sandhills.
"The two members of Congress who have intro-duced this legislation are creating uncertainty inthe marketplace and it becomes a self-fulfillingprophesy to say that we aren't seeing these thingsdevelop fast enough," Sneller said. "We won'tbecause of these mixed signals being sent to theprivate sector."

By this time next year, kids of all ages will beable to learn about how and why groundwater isused just by visiting the Nebraska StateFairgrounds in Grand Island.
On Friday ground was broken on the GrandIsland Groundwater Guardians outdoor learningarea, to be located in the Kidz Zone at theNebraska State Fair.
"It is a followup to the Groundwater Guardiantheme, educating kids, and adults too, aboutgroundwater " how it works, why it works, how weuse it, why we use it, how much we use, what kindof provisions can be made to protect the ground-water, both quality and quantity," said GaryMader of the Grand Island GroundwaterGuardians team, adding that the StateFairgrounds was chosen because, ""Educationrequires access by the people."
The half-acre site will include fun things thatcan teach about how water is used such as awillow tunnel, prairie maze, tree fort, raingardens, a xeric garden, bioswale and gazebo. TheNebraska Arboretum, working with the NaturalResources District, designed the outdoor learningarea for the team.
Mader said the team wanted features in theproject that are "fun as well as educational."
Jana Kruger, chairwoman of the Nebraska StateFair Board, said the board was excited to getsomething like this on the grounds.
"When we were in Lincoln, we discovered thatwhen we created a kids zone, an area that was ina park-like setting, people naturally gravitated toit," she said, adding that when the fair moved toGrand Island, the board wanted to create thesame kind of area. "(People) need a place torefresh and relax after a hard day at the carnivalor showing their livestock."
The project got off the ground last spring whenit received a $10,000 grant from Rain Bird. Thegrant was awarded through an online contest,"The Intelligent Use of Water Awards," in whichcitizens voted on their favorite project. The projectreceived 30,597 votes, about 1,000 more than anyother project in the country.
"The citizens of Grand Island got behind us andsupported us," Mader said.
Dave Johnson, director of corporate marketingfor Rain Bird, said Friday one of his company'sgoals is making sure that groundwater and irriga-tion are used as efficiently as possible and inprevious years they had rewarded ideas that led tothe conservation of groundwater, but this year forthe first time they decided to give money for anidea that without them may not get built.
He said the Grand Island project was exactly thetype of thing they were looking for when theyproposed the contest.
"Grand Island came through in spades,"Johnson said, adding that not only was it a greatidea, but the entire area got behind it. "You got theword out and really promoted the idea."
Besides the Rain Bird grant, nearly $40,000 inother grants and donations have been receivedfrom Vetter Health Services, Water For The Westand Waterwise. The Nebraska State Fair Boardalso set up an endowment for ongoing mainte-nance of the project site.
Jack Vetter said he gave to the project becausehe felt it was important to the young people of thestate.
"I think the young people are eager to learn andwe need to make these opportunities available tothem," he said Friday.
Mader said they hope to have as much of it aspossible completed by the 2012 Nebraska StateFair.
"It's going to take a few years to develop some ofthese things; they aren't all going to be there thefirst year," he said as he spoke of the shade treeplantings and willow tree tunnel. "Trees are goingto have to have time to grow."
Mader said although the site will be located atthe fairgrounds, the outdoor learning area will beavailable year round for the public and for schoolfield trips.
"While we anticipate there will be a good deal ofuse during the course of the State Fair, it will bethere 365 days a year," he said.

Carl Dahlen, North Dakota State UniversityExtension Service beef cattle specialist
"For producers to capture the most valuefrom their calf crop, they need to follow a care-fully planned marketing strategy," says CarlDahlen.
Here are four strategies to maximise calf cropvalue this year:
• Start with a uniform group of calves. • Implement a sound herd health program. • Consider age and source verification. • Talk with your auction market representa-
tives. The sale price almost always is greater for a
large group of high-quality, uniform calvesthan similar-quality calves brought to the live-stock auction in smaller groups or similarcalves with more weight range variation.
High-quality genetics and groups that areuniform in color, frame, muscling, flesh andweight range are essential to add value to agroup of cattle. To improve calf uniformity,concentrate on purchasing high-qualitybreeding stock, managing breeding seasons tocreate a tight calving window (consider a 45-day breeding season) and possibly culling late-calving cows.
"Implementing a sound herd healthprogramme is the easiest way to add value tothe calf crop, but it has to be done correctly,"Mr Dahlen advises.
"Calves must receive the correct vaccines atthe correct time."
Vaccines calves receive as they walk onto thetruck do not have a large impact on the pricebuyers are willing to pay because most cattlewill be revaccinated upon arrival at a feedlot.However, producers who vaccinated calves twoto three weeks prior to weaning and followedall Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) proceduresare more likely to be rewarded with higherprices.
The type of vaccine cattle receive also canimpact the price. Cattle feeders are looking forcalves that have received a modified livevaccine. Many feeders are not happy with theprotection from a killed vaccine.
Recent sales have shown price swings of $5 to$8 per hundredweight for the same quality ofcalves, depending on vaccination status, withhigher prices paid for vaccinated calves.Consult with your veterinarian about the vacci-nation strategy appropriate for your herd.
Even one year ago, auction market staff hadnot received a lot of requests for age and sourceverified calves or special age and source veri-fied sales.
"However, 2011 is a different story," MrDahlen says.
"This year may prove to be the most benefi-cial year to date for producers who age andsource verify their calves. As long as Japanrestricts imports to less than 21 months of age,the demand for age and source verified calveswill remain strong. But the process for veri-fying calves does not happen overnight."
Producers should be proactive, initiating andfollowing through with the age and source veri-fication process. They need to have records inplace and start the paperwork well in advanceof the sale to properly verify the age and sourceof calves.
Mr Dahlen recommends producers talk to athird-party certification agency to learn if theircalves and records qualify for age and sourceverification. Similar organizations can helpproducers certify that their calves are suitablefor natural and organic markets. For a list ofthird-party certification agencies, visithttp://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getfile?dDocName=STELPRD3320450.
"I encourage producers to spend time evalu-ating production costs and returns to ensurethat they are obtaining a sufficient premiumwhen marketing under a natural or organic
label, compared with managing and marketingcalves in traditional markets," Mr Dahlen says.
Auction market representatives can be greatresources for producers with questions aboutimproving the value of their calf crop. Themarket representatives deal with questionsabout feed yard preference for calves, status ofcalf supply and demand, whether feedlots arerunning at capacity and the latest markettrends daily, whereas many cow-calf producersevaluate these questions once a year.
In addition, auction markets may offer theircustomers alternative marketing avenues, suchas special sales, Internet sales and videoauctions.
Producers should remain in contact withauction market staff and be flexible in theirmarketing strategy, according to mr Dahlen.Consign cattle well in advance of the sale andlet the auction market know as much about thecalves as possible (for example, what color theyare, when they were born, when they werevaccinated and whether they are age andsource verified). The more information theauction market has, the better job it can do ofmarketing those calves.
In addition, producers should ask auctionmarket representatives about other ways toimprove their cow herd and calf marketability.
"No silver bullet will make you consistentlytop the sale each time you sell calves," MrDahlen says.
"Concentrate on creating a uniform set ofcalves with cows that work in your environ-ment. Manage your herd with good BQA prac-tices, vaccinate in a timely fashion, age andsource verify if the market is rewarding theeffort, and remain flexible with marketingstrategy and dates."

Live cattle trade has been softer this week asgrain prices rebounding have encouraged profittaking, while packer margins slump. The weeklynet change was 1.88 lower on the October contract.Lower corn prices have fueled significant feedpricing to secure margins, culminating in Tuesdaycorn rally. Packer margins have deteriorated andno cash movement is expected until late in theweek. Showlists are smaller this week, and ask-ing prices are $123 live, and $190-192 dressed.The cutout has been mixed with choice up 1.62 at
$186.03 on the week, and select was down .10 at169.31. The cutout has been friendlier to choicethan select. The weaker dollar should help movethe exports that the market has been relying on tokeep stocks current. Feeder cattle have remainednear their contract highs as continued concernsabout future availability linger because ofdrought. However, the good rains in the southplains could encourage longer backgrounding ofcalves, and further constrict supplies in the nearterm.
Lean hog trade has slipped this week, as strongergrain prices, and weaker cattle prices encourage prof-it taking. The weekly net change is $2.60 lower on theOctober contract and $.20 on the December. Thesecontracts are still in the upper end of their tradingrange. Cash trade has remained firm as export buyerscontinue to be active, but seasonally expanding sup-plies are beginning to weigh on the market at littlebit. Packers are looking to slow kills a little bit, andare not pricing as aggressively this week. Outsidemarkets have calmed some, reducing spillover pres-sure and/or support. The weaker dollar should help tomaintain the exports underpinning the market.

WAHOO - Crops are starting to be harvestedaround the area.
Grain elevators around the area reported goodquality for corn and soybeans this year.
Farmer's Union Cooperative in Prague reportedthat the soybeans have a good test weight of 57pounds this year. Branch Manager DennisProchaska said that this is better than theprevious year.
Soybeans are being reported as dry this year.There isn't an estimated level of moisture of cornyet.
"Beans were pretty wet a week ago," said CedarBluffs Farmer's Union Cooperative BranchManager Randal Schwartz. "But they are prettydry now."
In Prague, Prochaska reported his elevator hada range of nine to 11 percent dryness.
Frontier Cooperative Seed Sale Manager JohnBrabec said the moisture for soybeans in Meadhas been nine to ten percent. Brabec also said thatthe ideal moisture level is from ten to 11 percent.
"Corn is going to dry next week real quick withthe south winds and warm weather," said Brabec.
Brabec stated that his yields for the soybeansthis year have been 60 bushels per acre on dryland and 70 bushel per acre on irrigated land.
He estimated that the corn yield for his grainelevator will be around 165 bushels per acre ondry land and 200 bushels per acre on irrigatedland.
Grain elevators had several difficulties withweather this year.
"Hail stunted the plants and the beans didn'tmature fast enough," said Rick Milenkovich, thebranch manager of Farmer's Union Cooperative inWahoo. "Hopefully a little frost will come so it willkill the plants and make the combining a littleeasier."
According to meteorologist Cathy Zapotocny,this season will have temperatures above average.She also stated that rainfall should be normal thisyear.
"We are calling for pleasant weather," Zapotocnysaid. "Soybeans and corn should be pretty dry. "
Zapotocny said that next week there will be achanced of isolated showers.
She said that the ground level moisture willpossibly have a quarter-inch of water.
"It's been very dry from the last month," saidZapotocny. "Any moisture should run off the soil."
Heat this summer was also an issue for theelevators in Cedar Bluffs and Mead.
"The hottest July on record was tough on thecorn," said Brabc. "It interfered with the pollina-tion process."
Most of the harvest still needs to happen. "I think it's going to be a spread out harvest,"
said Milenkovich. "Everything is not coming in atthe same time and the weather has caused thingsnot to mature at the same time."
Harvest Gets Off to Good Start
By Lori Potter, The Kearney Hub
MINDEN - The KAAPA Ethanol plant west ofMinden could be shipping ethanol to West Coastcustomers by the trainload by early 2012.
Heavy equipment operated by employees of MidNebraska Land Developers of Phillips is movingdirt on the west side of the plant and on 240 acrespurchased by KAAPA Ethanol on the south side ofK Road. The properties are being prepared forconstruction of a loop railroad track that willallow shipments of 96 tank cars of ethanol at atime on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe line.
KAAPA Ethanol General Manager ChuckWoodside said the multimillion dollar project - hedeclined to give a specific dollar amount - recog-nizes the economy of scale all agribusinesses mustoperate under to manage transportation costs.
He added that the project doesn't involveincreasing the plant's processing capacity of 60million gallons of ethanol per year and no addi-tional rail cars will be needed.
Just as grain elevators now must be capable ofloading 100-110 railcars at a time, railroads arerequiring ethanol plants to ship a train-lengthnumber of tank cars to make the most efficient useof new receiving facilities at West Coast and GulfCoast terminals, Woodside said.
"They'll ship singles (grain railcars), but it's somuch more expensive. It's the same way withethanol," he said.
Woodside said KAAPA Ethanol purchased three"80s" on the south side of K Road. Company offi-cials are working with the city of Minden, whichannexed the plant site prior to construction thatstarted in 2002, to vacate the road.
The loop-and-a-half track will come off of therail line on the west side of the plant and cross theroad. Woodside said there will be a west entrancewith a new route and traffic still will have plantaccess on K Road from the east.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe officials haveapproved the rail loop plan. "Their equipment willbe on that track," Woodside said, unless KAAPAEthanol officials decide to purchase a locomotive.
Ameritrack Rail, with offices in Frankfort, Ind.,El Dorado, Kan. and Houston, will build the newline.
Woodside said there is a lot of demand for railconstruction in the Great Plains now because offlood damage repairs and demand from otherenergy-related projects, but the target is to havethe KAAPA Ethanol line completed by Dec. 31.Weather also will be a factor in meeting that goal.
He said that once the rail construction isfinished, 96 tank cars for a train can be filledabout every three weeks. Each railcar holds29,000 gallons of ethanol, so the total volume willbe 2,784,000 gallons per train.
Shipments from KAAPA Ethanol still will go toCalifornia and other points west, Woodside said,but the ability to ship trainloads of ethanol couldopen new markets to the south.
He described the rail improvements as animportant long-term step for the locally ownedplant.
New Loop Rail Line Will Give KAAPAEthanol Ability to Ship Ethanol by the Trainload

proposed pipeline is in the national interest unless theyknow the destination of the oil? We call on the StateDepartment to gather the pipeline oil ownership and finaldestination and release this information to the public," saidJohn Hansen, president of the Farmers Union. "Let's putthe facts on the table so American citizens can make theirown informed judgments about whether this proposedpipeline is in the national interests."
Among other issues raise, the NEFU comments alsofocused on leaks. The comments stated: "The NationalResponse Center data for pipeline leaks document 18,558pipeline leaks in the last 12 years, which is an average of1,546 pipeline leaks per year. The Keystone I Pipeline hasexperienced 14 spills since it was put into service in the last12 months."
Hansen added, "It is not a matter of if, it is a matter ofwhen, how often, and how much leakage there will be. As aresult, the route itself becomes of critical importance. It isnot prudent to tempt fate. The current route is not thesafest route. The current route is an environmental,economic, and sociological disaster waiting to happen."

FFeeaattuurreess aanndd BBeenneeffiittss• Produce consistent bales because the optional monitoring system displays the weight and estimated
moisture of each bale.
• Large capacity lets you work efficiently, thanks to the power windguard working in conjunction with
pick-up tines to condition crop and move more material into the bale chamber.
• Get the Vermeer Package -- a simple, ruggedly designed Super M baler with the Vermeer reputation
for excellence.
• Complete more bales per day by increasing baling speed and pick-up capacity, decreasing labor and time.
• Clear blockages without getting off your tractor by simply reversing the rotation of the power windguard,
which unplugs the pick-up.
• See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
