U.S. Free Trade Agreements Begin

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent

When the Korea Free TradeAgreement (FTA) takes effect March15, there will be some long-termchanges taking place that could havea positive impact for U.S. meatexports to Korea.

Starting on March 15, dutyreductions will begin on U.S. beef,and pork. According to U.S. MeatExport Federation economist ErinBorror, South Korea's 40 percentduty on imported beef will be phased

out over 15 years for imports fromthe United States.

Beef imports into Korea currentlypay a 40 percent duty.

"Essentially that duty is reducedover the next 15 years," Borror said,"so immediately when the FTA isimplemented in March that dutydrops to 37.3 percent.

"We basically see a reduction of 2.7percent each year and duty-free zeroby 2026," he added. "So you canimagine we'll see quite the benefit,especially when duties drop toaround 15 percent and below byabout 2020."

Borror said the U.S. also has acompetitive advantage through thefree trade agreement becauseAustralia and New Zealand, who arethe other major suppliers to Korea,do not currently have free tradeagreements. He said Canada hasalways been a relatively smallsupplier, even prior to the BSE ban."But as they come slowly back intothat market, they will also face thefull 40 percent duty," he said.

Over the past year, Borror said,some imported pork products have

Consumers now have convenient access toimportant nutritional information about the rawmeat and poultry products they most frequentlypurchase, the U.S. Department of Agriculture'sFood Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) hasannounced.

Under a new FSIS rule, packages of ground orchopped meat and poultry, such as hamburger orground turkey, will now feature nutrition factspanels on their labels. Additionally, 40 of the mostpopular whole, raw cuts of meat and poultry, suchas chicken breast or steak, will also havenutritional information either on the packagelabels or on display to consumers at the store.

"Providing nutrition information on meat andpoultry products in the store gives shoppers a

clearer sense of the options available, allowingthem to purchase items that are most appropriatefor their families' needs," said Under-Secretary forFood Safety Dr. Elisabeth Hagen. "These newlabels mark a significant step in the agency'sefforts to help consumers make more informedfood purchase decisions."

The new nutrition facts panels will list thenumber of calories and the grams of total fat andsaturated fat that a product contains. Forexample, consumers will be able to compare thecalories and fat content for ground turkey versusground beef, or for pork chops versus chickenbreasts, right in the store.

Additionally, a ground or chopped product thatincludes on its label a lean percentage statement,such as "85 percent lean," and is not considered"low in fat" also will list its fat percentage, making

it easier for consumers to understand the amountsof lean and fat content in a particular product.Consumers will no longer have to guess whichproducts fit their diets.

The Federal Register notice announcing thisrule was published on Dec. 29, 2010 and can befound at federalregister.gov/a/2010-32485. To seeexamples of the types of labels consumers will nowsee, click here.

Since 1993, FSIS has required nutritionlabeling for products that are not raw or thatcontain multiple ingredients. FSIS is tasked withensuring that its regulated products are labeled ina way that is truthful and not misleading.

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

Exceptionally warmtemperatures coveredmuch of thecontinental U.S.during the past weekwith record hightemperatures observedat most recordinglocations during the3/12-3/15 period. Hightemperatures jumpedinto the upper 70's tolow 80's, which is thenormal hightemperature duringlate May. The only

widespread precipitation event occurred on 3/1and impacted the eastern 2/3 of the state. Liquidequivalent moisture averaged around a quarter ofan inch, but isolated locations reported over a halfinch of rain. Wheat has broken dormancy and therapid warmup is concerning since temperaturesare nearly 2 weeks ahead of the pace set in 2007,when an early April freeze devastated the wheatcrop across the central and southern Plains. Withno significant cold air currently forecasted to

invade the region during the next two weeks,wheat will likely be more vulnerable to a suddenfreeze event than in 2007, if it should occur.

Week One Forecast, 3/17 - 3/23: A significantupper air trough will move eastward from thewest coast during the period. Weather modelsdevelop another cutoff low out of this troughacross the southwestern U.S. this weekend, thenslowly move it northeastward during the week.The southern Plains should see above normalmoisture with several rounds of severe weatherpossible. Some of these storms may make it northinto Nebraska, with the eastern ½ of the statehaving the best chance for inclement weather.The only fly in the ointment would be thedevelopment of thunderstorms south of Nebraskathat cut off some of the moisture transport intothe state. The upper air low is projected to moveeast of the region by 3/23 and bring a return to dryconditions statewide. Isolated thunderstorms arepossible across southeastern Nebraska during thesecond half of 3/17, possibly lingering into themorning hours of 3/18. From 3/19-3/22, there willbe daily chances for thunderstorms over theeastern 2/3 of the state, with the best chancesoccurring on 3/19, 3/20, and 3/22 as energy pivots

around the upper air low during its travels fromthe central Plains to the eastern corn belt. If theprecipitation forecast is correct, many locationscould easily see over an inch of moisture duringthis period. High Temperatures: 3/17-3/18 (low70's N - low 80's SW), 3/19-3/22 (upper 60's NE -upper 70's SW), 3/23 (low 60's NE - low 70's SW).

Week Two Forecast, 3/24 - 3/30: An upper airridge is projected to build across the central thirdof the U.S. during the 3/24-3/26 period. A weaktrough is projected to move across the northernPlains and bring a chance for scattered showersand thunderstorms to the state during the 3/27-3/28 period. The best opportunity for moisture on3/27 lies across northern Nebraska, with chancesspreading south and east on 3/28. At this time,models generate light moisture with this systemwith storm totals of a quarter inch, with greatertotals possible if thunderstorms develop. Dry andwarm conditions are currently forecasted for the3/29-3/30 period. High Temperatures: 3/24-3/25(upper 60's N - upper 70's SW), 3/26 (mid 70's NE- mid 80's SW), 3/27-3/28 (low 70's NE - upper 70'sSW), 3/29-3/30 (upper 70's NE - mid 80's SW).

What to do in the case of a TornadoIn a house with a basement: Avoid windows.

Get in the basement and under some kind ofsturdy protection, or cover yourself with amattress or sleeping bag. Know where very heavyobjects rest on the floor above (pianos,refrigerators, etc.) and do not go under them. Theymay fall down through a weakened floor and crushyou.

In a house with no basement: Avoid windows.Go to the lowest floor, small center room (like abathroom or closet), under a stairwell, or in aninterior hallway with no windows. Crouch as lowas possible to the floor, facing down; and cover yourhead with your hands. A bath tub may offer a shellof partial protection. Even in an interior room, youshould cover yourself with some sort of thickpadding (mattress, blankets, etc.), to protectagainst falling debris in case the roof and ceilingfail.

In an office building, hospital, nursinghome: Go directly to an enclosed, windowless areain the center of the building -- away from glass andon the lowest floor possible. Then, crouch downand cover your head. Interior stairwells areusually good places to take shelter, and if notcrowded, allow you to get to a lower level quickly.Stay off the elevators; you could be trapped inthem if the power is lost.

In a mobile home: Get out! Even if your homeis tied down, it is not as safe as an undergroundshelter or permanent, sturdy building. Go to one ofthose shelters, using your tornado evacuationplan. Most tornadoes can destroy even tied-downmobile homes; and it is best not to play the lowodds that yours will make it.

At school: Follow the drill! Go to the interiorhall or room in an orderly way as you are told.Crouch low, head down, and protect the back ofyour head with your arms. Stay away from

windows and large open rooms like gyms andauditoriums.

In a car or truck: Vehicles are extremely riskyin a tornado. There is no safe option when caughtin a tornado in a car, just slightly less-dangerousones. If the tornado is visible, far away, and thetraffic is light, you may be able to drive out of itspath by moving at right angles to the tornado.Seek shelter in a sturdy building, or rundergroundif possible. If you are caught by extreme winds orflying debris, park the car as quickly and safely aspossible -- out of the traffic lanes. Stay in the carwith the seat belt on. Put your head down belowthe windows; cover your head with your hands anda blanket, coat, or other cushion if possible. If youcan safely get noticeably lower than the level of theroadway,leave your car and lie in that area,covering your head with your hands. Avoid seekingshelter under bridges, which can create deadlytraffic hazards while offering little protectionagainst flying debris.

In the open outdoors: If possible, seek shelterin a sturdy building. If not, lie flat and face-downon low ground, protecting the back of your headwith your arms. Get as far away from trees andcars as you can; they may be blown onto you in atornado.

In a shopping mall or large store: Do notpanic. Watch for others. Move as quickly aspossible to an interior bathroom, storage room orother small enclosed area, away from windows.

In a church or theater: Do not panic. Ifpossible, move quickly but orderly to an interiorbathroom or hallway, away from windows. Crouchface-down and protect your head with your arms. Ifthere is no time to do that, get under the seats orpews, protecting your head with your arms orhands.

Starting Transplants InsideMary Jane Frogge, UNL Extension Associate

Starting flower and vegetable transplants athome can be fun. Growing quality transplantsrequires good seed, a sterile, well-drainedgrowing medium, proper temperature, propermoisture requirements and adequate light. Sincethe home is usually not the best environment forgrowing transplants, problems occasionallydevelop.

Poor or erratic germination of seed may becaused by improper planting, for example,planting too deeply. Uneven moisture and cooltemperatures can also cause problems. Mediumto large seeds are sown at a depth of two timestheir minimum diameter. Fine seed is usuallydusted on the surface of the seedbed. Cool pottingmix temperatures, below 70°F, delaygermination. Maintain the proper germinationtemperature and even moisture conditions forrapid, uniform germination.

Tall, spindly growth is a common problemwhen growing transplants indoors. Poor orinsufficient light, excessive watering, hightemperatures, excessive fertilization, andcrowded growing conditions are factors whichcontribute to spindly growth. It is best to placethe seedlings under artificial light. It is notnecessary to have an expensive plant stand. Astandard fluorescent shop fixture with one cooland one warm fluorescent tube works fine. For

best results, the lights should be approximately 1inch above the seedlings. Raise the light as theseedlings grow. Leave the lights on 12–16 hoursa day. When the first pair of “true leaves” appear,thin the seedlings so they are not crowded. Allowthe soil media to become slightly dry betweenwaterings. The best quality transplants areshort, stocky, and dark green.

Green algae or brownish fungal growth mayappear on the soil surface or sides of peat pots.While their appearance generally causes littleharm, their presence usually indicates excessivemoisture levels. Allow the potting mix to drysomewhat before watering.

A lack of essential nutrients producescharacteristic deficiency symptoms. Phosphorusand nitrogen deficiency symptoms sometimesoccur on vegetable and flower seedlings.Phosphorus deficient plants frequently havepurplish leaves and growth is stunted. Yellowlower leaves may indicate a nitrogen deficiency.Other symptoms of a nitrogen deficiency arestunted growth and small leaves. Apply a solublefertilizer, such as 15-30-15, to the seedlings.Fertilize weekly with a one-quarter-strengthsolution.

While there are obstacles to growingtransplants indoors, home gardeners canproduce good quality transplants if they followgood cultural practices.

It’s Easy to Make Half Your Grains WholeLisa Kowalski, UNL Extension Assistant

Are you resolving to eat healthier this year?Try adding more whole grains. Regularconsumption of whole grain foods has beenlinked to a reduced risk of heart disease,diabetes, certain types of cancers, and otherdiseases. In addition, whole grains help inmanaging weight because they give the feeling offullness due to their nutrient density.

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines recommendmaking at least half of your servings of grains aswhole grain. Foods from the grain group areclassified into two categories: whole grains andrefined grains.

While all foods from the grains group are goodsources of complex carbohydrates and othervitamins and minerals, whole grain foods aremore nutrient dense than refined grains becausethey contain all the naturally-occurringnutrients of the entire grain kernel. Refinedgrains are milled to create a finer texture andimprove shelf life. During the milling process,parts of the grain kernel are removed thus

removing some B vitamins, iron and dietaryfiber.

Whole grains are better sources of dietary fiberand other important nutrients than refinedgrains. Though iron and certain B vitamins (suchas thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid) areadded back to most refined grains afterprocessing, fiber is generally not added back.

Adding whole grains to your diet can be easyand does not have to be detrimental to yourbudget. Many whole grain foods are comparablein cost to refined grain foods.

Incorporate more whole grain foods graduallyby simply replacing some refined grains youfrequently consume with whole grains. Someexamples of whole grain staples easily added toyour diet are whole grain breads, cereals, pastas,tortillas, brown rice, whole wheat flour, andwhole grain barley.

Use the ingredient list to help you choose foodsthat are whole grain. Whole grain foods will list“whole grain” as the first ingredient.

Try this tasty recipe as a simple way to addmore whole grains.

Homemade Pizza(12 servings)CRUST:1 cup all-purpose flour1 cup whole wheat flour1 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons baking powder3/4 cup water1/4 cup vegetable oilPIZZA:1 cup tomato sauce1 cup cooked ground meat (hamburger, sausage,chicken, etc.)1 cup chopped vegetables (onion, mushrooms,green pepper, etc.)8 ounces shredded cheese

Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheetwith non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In alarge bowl, mix flour, salt, baking powder, andwater until flour is moistened. Place dough onlightly floured surface. Knead dough for about 2minutes. Place dough on prepared baking sheet.With fingers, spread dough out to cover thebottom of a baking sheet. Spread vegetable oilover crust (the oil will keep the tomato saucefrom soaking into the crust). Spread tomatosauce over crust. Top with your choice of meatand/or vegetables. Top with shredded cheese.Bake 20 minutes or until pizza is heatedthrough and cheese is melted.

Skunks Active NowSoni Cochran UNL Extension Associate

In Nebraska, skunks typically begin looking formates in mid-February to mid-March. Males willtravel up to five miles in one night in search of afemale. Males are not always successful in theirquest, as they frequently are struck by carsduring this time. Since skunks are more activenow, it is a good time to be sure you take steps toprevent rabies exposure. Although rabies caninfect any warm-blooded creature, skunks areparticularly susceptible to the disease.

The best way to avoid rabies exposure is toavoid skunks. Warn children to never approachpet skunks or other wild animals. If an animalappears sick, injured, or if a wild animal seems

tame, contact your local animal control office.Vaccinate dogs, cats, and livestock againstrabies.

You may also notice skunks are more activebecause you will smell them. Skunks have asuperior defense mechanism — their famousspray. Skunk spray is an odorous, yellow-tinted,oily liquid that can permeate clothing and theenvironment for many days, whether the animalis alive or dead. If a skunk has sprayed you, yourpet, or your property, there are steps you cantake to help reduce the odor. Removing skunkspray may involve deodorizing treatments, homeremedies, and there are multiple commercialproducts including foggers and deodorizersavailable.

• I T ’ S T H E P I T T S b y L e e P i t t s •Yo u G o t t a R e a d T h i s

by Lee Pitts

There’s one thing I simply must buy everyyear: The Old Farmer's Almanac. In thisdigital age you'll know it's the end of theworld when the Almanac ceases to exist orgoes totally digital. The 2012 edition is the220th consecutive U.S. edition. Yes, it'sbeen printed continuously for 220 of the236 years we've been a free country!

Besides the weather forecasts, plantingtables and schedules of tides, eclipses andgestation found in every issue, in 2012we’re told the best days to quit smoking,castrate, pollinate, graft (for Congressmen)and the best days to see a dentist. AlthoughI’d submit there are no best days to see anydentist. The 2012 edition also containsinteresting articles on spit, wild pigs (HamOn The Lam), the hottest peppers andbiggest blowouts. The latter referring tovolcanoes, not the peppers.

This year's edition has valuableinformation on what to do if you come faceto face with a bear or a tornado, and how toproperly use a broom. As a slouch I wasinterested to learn that men who sit slumpshouldered have lower testosterone levelsthan those who sit erect. And did you know71% of Americans make their bed every dayand crows can remember the face of adangerous human for two years?

How can one live without knowing suchthings? I was also interested to learn a newway to hypnotize chickens and that the

winter of 2009-2010 in Europe was thecoldest winter in decades with hundreds offolks freezing to death. They could havekept warmer by burning all the books andspeeches about global warming.

The articles in this year's Almanac thatreally got my attention were the onespredicating what was going to be hot inAmerica. And you have to pay attention toanyone's prognostications who can predicta year in advance the winter temperaturesand precipitation totals with over 90%accuracy, like the Almanac did.

For 2012 the Almanac editors see morechocolate for breakfast and mac and cheesefor dinner. They see fireplaces that rotate,bright red front doors and plants climbingup walls for cheaper insulation. On menwe'll see more worn out T-shirts andgarments that can be worn upside downand backwards. We'll also see women'sjewelry made from rivets, nuts and bolts,but I have my doubts on that one. What doyou think the average woman is going to doif, instead of a diamond engagement ring,you give her one made out of a ten pennynail? You'll get slapped and remain single,that's what!

Other things we'll be seeing more ofinclude washable tuxedos, gold panning,indoor trampoline parks, rented clothing,pets sending get well cards, andwheelchairs for injured llamas, goats, pigs

and chickens. They predict driverless carsthat steer by GPS, spray-on fabrics,fingerless gloves for those who want to textin cold weather, and vending machines thatsell fruits and vegetables. Although I can'tsee kids putting a dollar in a vendingmachine and getting back a banana or astalk of broccoli. Nor do I see poor peoplewho cannot afford a little Old Spice orRight Guard rubbing slices of lemon or limeunder their arm pits like the Almanacsuggested. I can however see the sport ofcouch surfing catching on in which peoplelook online for folks offering up their couchto sleep on for free. I call such people youradult children.

I like the idea of fast and low lanes onsidewalks and of “technology cleanses” inwhich people turn off all their electronicdevices for a period of time. But I don'tforesee, as does the Almanac, typewritersand parlor games making a big comeback.Record players maybe, but not SmithCoronas.

My favorite quote in the entire 2012version was this: "How is it that we put aman on the moon before we figured out itwould be good to put wheels on ourluggage?"

Gems like that are found on every page ofthe Old Farmer's Almanac. Get yours todaywherever wisdom and common sense aresold.

Our nation faces unprecedented economicchallenges, and rural communities are certainlynot immune. Agriculture plays a critical role inthe economic outlook of Nebraska, our countryand the entire world. In fact, the typicalNebraska farmer feeds 155 people per year, agreat source of pride for our state. So, it goeswithout saying the next Farm Bill is criticallyimportant to Nebraska’s agriculture economy,and we must get it right.

Because of the wide range of issues covered inthe Farm Bill, it is important I gather feedbackfrom Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers. To thisend, I invite you to participate in my Farm BillListening Tour which begins March 12th. Moredetails about my tour stops, which are all opento the public, can be found on my website:http://adriansmith.house.gov/FarmBill.

The Farm Bill is slated to be reauthorized in2012, but legislation has not yet been drafted.Given the challenges passing the last FarmBill, it is important to start working now.Though election year politics makes legislatingdifficult, there appears to be a strong,bipartisan desire to get a Farm Bill done thisyear.

The Farm Bill covers a broad range ofagricultural policies and programs, includingfarm credit, conservation, rural development,and foreign and domestic food assistanceprograms. Though most news coverage of thelegislation references its impact on agriculture,nutrition programs such as food stamps accountfor more than 75 percent of Farm Bill spending.

Our ultimate goal should be creating policieswhich strengthen American agriculture andprovide the long-term stability our producersneed to grow our rural communities. Producersalso need a workable bill which offers tools forresponsible risk management. The next FarmBill provides another opportunity to strengthenthese vital commitments.

The Farm Bill also must take into account thegrowing impact of international trade on oureconomy. Expanded trade remains one of ourbest tools to generate economic growth and isvitally important to Nebraska’s agriculturalproducers. For example, as result of our freetrade agreement with South Korea which goesinto effect March 15th, the tariff on U.S. beefexports will be lowered from 40 percent to zero.

As a member of the House Ways and MeansCommittee, opening access to new markets forour agriculture producers continues to be a toplegislative priority for me. We have workedtogether on a bipartisan basis to advancemultiple initiatives which will allow farmers,ranchers, and other businesses in Nebraska toexpand, create jobs, invest in new technology,and grow our economy through trade. Iappreciated the dialogue I had with U.S. TradeRepresentative Ron Kirk at a recent committeehearing and his commitment to further openinginternational markets. We will continue topursue new opportunities and implement therecently passed free trade agreements.

Our nation’s agriculture producers embodythe can-do spirit which makes America great.They feed the world and continue to be one ofthe brightest parts of our nation’s economy. Therural way of life is changing, and I believe nowis the time for Congress to listen to the farmersand ranchers who, literally, have their boots onthe ground.

Serious Corporate Tax Reform Neededby Senator Mike Johanns

President Obama released a corporate taxproposal which, while offering some sensiblechanges, unfortunately takes a political approachto an issue requiring an objective one. Changes tothe tax code will affect every American, and I findit unfortunate that the President has waited untilnow to introduce his plan as a campaign talkingpoint. The proposed lower rates are overshadowedby newly-proposed market-distorting loopholeswhich reward or punish areas of the economybased on his political agenda.

The President's proposal does have a goodstarting point by lowering the corporate tax ratefrom 35 to 28 percent. This is important for severalreasons. Under the current 35 percent rate, theU.S. will soon have the highest corporate tax ratein the world. As we look for policies that will helpease the unemployment rate, a punitively high taxrate actually serves as an incentive for companies

to move their operations overseas, where they canpay lower taxes.

Though 28 percent would still be above theinternational average, lowering the rate is apositive step forward, and one I hope will apply tosmall businesses and families as we discussoverhauling our entire tax code.

Yet the President's tax reform proposal goesastray when it begins picking winners and losers.That he would even begin to insert his ownpersonal preferences into our country's alreadytoo-complex tax code is troubling. Tax reformshould be about making our tax code simpler,fairer, and encouraging of job growth within theUnited States. Instead, the President has chosento use it as a vehicle to reward friends and pushhis Administration's political agenda.

For example, the Administration's plan calls forhigher taxes on oil and gas companies, whilecontinuing to offer credits and incentives for his

favorite green energy projects. Certainlyalternative energy sources are an important partof our energy future, but increasing taxes ontraditional energy sources only means more coststo be passed on to every American who drives a car.At a time when gas prices are already at historiclevels, more pain at the pump for everyone is farfrom a responsible approach.

For four years, President Obama has been tryingto find ways to boost our economy. His initialapproach, bloated stimulus and deficit spending,did little to nothing to improve our economy butwas devastating to our country's fiscal health.With corporate tax reform, there's an opportunityto make a positive difference, by bringing thecorporate tax rate down to a level that eliminatesthe incentive to move jobs overseas. The Presidentshouldn't let politics get in the way of this sensiblegoal.

Gas prices have risen steadily in the last monthand Nebraskans are rightfully concerned andasking why.

First, the rapid rise isn’t a result of domestic oilproduction. We’re producing more oil in the U.S.now than we have since 2003. As a matter of fact,under the previous Administration domesticproduction of crude declined every year, whereassince 2009 domestic production has increasedevery year.

Second, this has nothing to do with the KeystonePipeline. The price of oil is set on the WorldMarket and is impacted by a host of factors –including unrest in oil producing nations. It isn’t asimple supply and demand pricing issue. Actually,the U.S. has demonstrated the lowest demand forgasoline in 15 years but the price of crude oil hasstill gone up.Several Reasons for the Rise

The cause is more likely a combination offactors, including volatility in oil producingnations and lower refining capacity in the UnitedStates – some U.S. refiners in the northeast closed

their doors late last year because their plantsaren’t equipped to deal with the type of crude oilthat is most abundant now.

This, combined with low demand for gas,resulted in operating at a loss, so refiners shutdown and that resulted in about 4% of our capacitygoing away.

The Energy Information Administration projectsslightly higher average prices for the Midwest –about $3.50/gallon – for 2012 and then steady at$3.50 in 2013.

The high price of gasoline is another reason whythe U.S. needs to continue working to build therenewable fuel industry.

Ethanol has helped hold and keep the price ofgasoline from going even higher, and will continueto play a major role in our efforts to become energyindependent, while reducing greenhouseemissions and creating jobs.Ethanol Holds Down Use of Foreign Oil

The Renewable Fuels Association reports that in2010 ethanol sales in the U.S. totaled 13.23 billiongallons.

Nebraska, the second leading ethanol producerin the country, produced 1.9 billion gallons fromthe state’s twenty-five ethanol plants, according tothe Nebraska Ethanol Board.

Of that, 4 percent goes into Nebraska fuel tanksand, because of lower costs at the pump, savesmotorists some $55 million dollars annually.

The 13 billion gallons of ethanol the U.S. usedmeant that we imported 445 million fewer barrelsof oil. That’s more oil than America imports everyyear from Saudi Arabia, our third leading supplier.By importing less oil we saved $34 billion.

Ethanol production is expected to continue toincrease to 36 billion gallons by 2022 as providedfor in the renewable fuels standard passed byCongress.

While the prospect of continued high gas pricesis not pleasant news, it emphasizes the need tocontinue the production of ethanol and increaseefforts toward other bio fuels and renewable fuels,including wind energy.

That’s the good news, especially for Nebraska,which continues to be a leader in renewable fuels.

Corn trade has moved back into a choppy sideways pat-tern after rebounding after Friday’s report. May corn is up10 cents and December is up 2 after challenging resistanceat $6.66, and $5.70 respectively early in the week. Thenearby May corn contract has moved back above the 20-day moving averages, at $6.48, and now has the 200-dayand highest major moving average at $6.69 as upsideresistance. This has the chart more positive versus a weekago, but we need to take out $6.69 and close above it twodays to give us a significant bull chart signal.Fundamentally the market should be concerned aboutusage cutbacks with a rally above our recent range.Outside markets have generally been supportive thisweek, as the Federal Reserve put off action on QE3 due toan improving economy. South America continues to yielduncertainty with corn, and some of the second crop cornacres are stressed at the moment. The Monthly WorldSupply and Demand report on Friday showed domesticcorn carryout at an unchanged 801 million bushels, SouthAmerican production was pegged at 61 million for Brazil,and 22.0 for Argentina, which was up 1 million metric tonsversus expectations of a decline. Brazil’s CANAB releaseda 60.8 million ton number for Brazil last Thursday whichwas in Line with the USDA. The world carryover estimatewas at 124.45 million metric tons, down from 125.45 lastmonth, but 1 million more than expected. Export inspec-tions were above expectations with 36.2 million bushels onMonday. This still keeps shipments near the pace of thelast year. Ethanol values have improved as stocks declinedslightly week on week, this has helped move ethanol mar-gins back to near breakeven in the near term. Weeklyexport sales were near the high end of expectations at836,400 metric tons with 121,400 unknown switched toJapan, not China. China was listed as the recipient of oneshipped cargo. The trade will continue to watch for con-firmed Chinese business; Chinese demandexpectations/rumors have been part of the market strengththis week. Hedgers call with questions or to discuss your2012 and 2013 hedging plan.

The wheat trade has been benign this week even withspillover support from the row crops. Good US weather,and fund selling have kept the trade mostly on the defen-sive. The weekly net change heading into Thursday issteady in Chicago and Minneapolis, KC is down 3. MayChicago wheat has moved back below all major movingaverages, with the lowest at $6.52 (the 10-day) and $6.49(the 20-day). The chart has been flirting back to negativewith funds still adding to their short, a bullish surprisecould trigger a big short covering run, if one were tooccur. Speculative long liquidation due to losses is thebiggest downside risk now. The KC/Chicago spread hasnarrowed back to the lows at 38 cents. The Chicagowheat contract has dropped back to an 11 cent discountto corn, promoting feed wheat usage. The WASDE num-bers were friendly with domestic carryout dropping 20million bushels to 825 million, and world carryout drop-ping to 209 million metric tons, down 3.5. But these arestill large historical numbers. On Monday the USDAreported crop conditions for Kansas, Oklahoma, andTexas showed continued improvement and the forecastedrains are expected to further support crop developed. Thebiggest trade concern at the moment is that the earlywarmth will give way to late cold in April that couldcause damage. There are some dryness concerns inEurope, and the market will be watching the develop-ment of the Russia crop closely, especially with signifi-cant damage done to the Ukrainian crop already. TheUkraine expects wheat production to drop from 22 mil-lion metric tons to 14. Export inspections surged to 31.5million bushels versus 17 million expected. This waswell above the needed amount to stay on the USDA pace.Iran has continued their buying binge, raising worriesabout military conflict this spring. The weekly exportsales report was a little disappointing with 302,400 met-ric tons of old crop, and 57,900 of new crop vs. expecta-tions of 400,000 to 600,000 metric tons.

Soybean trade again rallied to fresh highs this weekwith July futures nearly reaching $13.70 overnight. Onthe week May futures are 24 higher and Novemberfutures are up 14. Nearby meal is up $7 and bean oil isup 85 points with strength in palm oil leading the way.The soy complex continues to gain relative to corn, butthe warm weather is raising expectations of further acrelosses relative to corn. May soybean chart support is atthe 10-day moving average at 13.35, the 20-day at$13.11, then the 200-day at 12.88. November beans havebeen able to consolidate a bit above the $13.00 level. Sothe next resistance level/upside to talk about is $14and/or the late summer highs in the $14 area. Crop scoutreports out of Brazil continue to indicate disappointingyields as harvest moves through the halfway mark.Argentina continues to benefit from a more active mois-ture pattern, which should help to push their crop acrossthe finish line. CONAB released a 69.22 million ton esti-mate which is a bit higher than most of the privatesources. The WASDE report left carryout unchanged at275 million metric tons. South American productiondropped to 46.5 million metric tons in Argentina, and68.5 million metric tons in Brazil. World soybean stocksdropped to be 57.25 million metric tons, down from 60.28last month. Chinese domestic prices remain firm whichshould support the old crop in the near term. Exportshipments were weaker than expected at 26 millionbushels vs. 32 expected. Exports on the week were goodwith 609,700 metric tons of old crop, and 784,000 metrictons of new crop vs. 650,000 to 900,000 metric tons com-bined new and old expected. Product sales were good at158,100 metric tons of meal while 75,000 to 150,000 met-ric tons were expected, and 5,100 metric tons of soy oil.Hedgers call with questions, we favor using this move toget a bigger portion of new crop priced and get someoptions under everything maybe before the month isover.

Senior Year at a Glance

By EducationQuest Foundation

It’s a simple question, but the answer may betough. The fact is, you don’t need to startcollege with your major already decided.Chances are you’ll change your mind over thenext four years.

Follow these steps in high school to help youmake your “major” decision.

1. Evaluate your skills and interests.Personal Strengths – what adjectives

describe you?Talents – what do you do well?Interests – what do you enjoy?Values – what’s important to you?

2. Gather facts about several majors thatinterest you. Talk to your guidance counselor

about your selections and look at advancedclasses in each major. Some students changemajors because they become disillusioned withupper-level courses.

3. Job shadow. By observing differentcareers, you may find some that suit you whileyou cross others off your list.

Follow these steps when you get to college:

1. Join student organizations that relateto potential careers. You’ll meet other studentswith similar interests and discover if the fit isright.

2. Make good use of your electives. Alongwith core requirements during your freshman

and sophomore year, take electives that are inyour potential major.

3. Declare your major before your fourthsemester of college. This should allow you tofinish in four years in you enroll full-time eachsemester and remain in good academicstanding. Talk to your academic advisor aboutmajors, such as education, that may requireyou to declare when you enter college.

Don’t just settle on a major. Take your time,explore your options and make a good decision– then you can avoid making college a “major”disappointment.

State Conservationist Craig Dericksonannounced that USDA's Natural ResourcesConservation Service (NRCS) in Nebraskareceived 1,044 applications for the firstConservation Stewardship Program (CSP)ranking period of the fiscal year.

CSP has been a popular program inNebraska. In the last two years, out of theapplications received in the state, over 1,600contracts in 91 counties have been enrolled intoCSP.

Nationwide, NRCS received 17,654applications for CSP. NRCS expects to enroll atotal of 10.8 million acres into the program infiscal year 2012.

"Farmers and ranchers in Nebraska who aredeeply committed to being even better stewardsof natural resources have proved once againthat CSP is a program that works for them,"Derickson said. "NRCS looks forward toworking with producers to bring the benefits ofquality conservation to their operations."

CSP offers payments to producers whomaintain a high level of conservation on theirland and agree to adopt higher levels ofstewardship. Eligible lands include cropland,pastureland, rangeland and non-industrialforestland.

CSP is offered in all 50 states, tribal landsand the Pacific and Caribbean areas throughcontinuous sign-ups. Administered by NRCS,this Farm Bill program provides manyconservation benefits including improvedwater, soil, and air quality, decreased soilerosion, and enhanced wildlife habitat.March 15 was the deadline to purchase risk coverage

This includes coverage available throughFSA's Noninsured Crop Disaster AssistanceProgram (NAP), and also crop insurancecoverage available from private companies.Producers can utilize both NAP and cropinsurance coverage to comprehensively manage

their potential risk in their operation. NAPcoverage fees may be waived for limitedresource producers.

"The NAP program compensates producersfor production losses during times of disaster,"said McCarville.

She said to be eligible for NAP assistance,crops must be non-insurable, meaning they arenot eligible for at least the catastrophic riskprotection level of federal crop insurance.Spring seeded crops eligible for NAP coveragemay include crops for forage and grazing,vegetables, sorghum, grass, alfalfa and wheat,where crop insurance is not available.

FSA's Noninsured Crop Disaster AssistanceProgram provides financial assistance toproducers of non-insurable crops when lowyields, loss of inventory, or prevented plantingoccur due to natural disasters. CurrentlyNebraska is listed in a D1 Drought for portionsof the state according to the USDA Droughtmonitor (online atdroughtmonitor.unl.edu/monitor.html).

Historically, NAP and Federal crop insurancecoverage (where available) of at least thecatastrophic (CAT) level have been required toremain eligible for potential benefits underFSA disaster assistance programs. Althoughprovisions for disaster assistance under thenew farm bill are yet to be determined, thecurrent application period provides producersan opportunity to protect against potentialyield and/or revenue losses for 2012.

To apply for NAP by the March 15 deadline,eligible producers must file an application ofcoverage and pay the applicable service fees attheir local Farm Service Agency (FSA) Office.The service fee is $250 per crop up to $750 perproducer per administrative county. There is alimit of $1,875 per producer with farminginterest in multiple counties.

The sign-up period for 2012 NAP is currentlyongoing. For questions regarding the NAP

program, contact the Hall County FSA Office at308-395-8586.

More information on NAP and other disasterassistance programs is available at local FSAoffices and online at www.fsa.usda.gov.Record U.S. ethanol exports offset Brazil's decline

The U.S. Energy Information Administrationreported this week that U.S. ethanol exports in2011 reached a record high partly due toBrazil's need to import more ethanol after apoor harvest of sugarcane " the feedstock formost of Brazil's ethanol " sharply decreasedthat country's ethanol production. U.S. ethanolexports were 133,000 barrels per day at the endof 2011 compared with about 10,000 barrels perday in early 2010.

The United States boosted its exports ofethanol, made mostly from corn, to an averageof nearly 78,000 barrels per day during 2011,up 200 percent from 2010, according topreliminary full-year trade data from the EIA'sPetroleum Supply Monthly February 2012report. Ethanol export volumes averaged lessthan 10 percent of U.S. ethanol production,which was 910,000 barrels per day last year.

Most of those shipments went to Brazil,normally a major U.S. competitor in biofuelstrade that makes its ethanol from sugar.However, Brazil faced high world sugar pricesand a lower sugarcane harvest that reduced thecountry's ethanol production by an estimated20 percent last year, according to EIA's updatedcountry analysis brief on Brazil's energy sector.

Brazil's government lowered the ethanolblend requirements of the volume in gasolinefrom 25 percent to 20 percent to help moderatedemand for ethanol. Brazil's sugarcaneindustry association estimates the country'sethanol production will decline further in 2012.

been entering Korea on a duty-free basis. But hesaid this was only a temporary measure designedto alleviate Korea's pork supply shortage causedby a severe foot-and-mouth disease outbreak in2010.

Under the agreement, Borror said pork will seean even more dramatic duty reduction. Accordingto Borror, duties in the more commonly tradeditems, which are frozen pork muscle cuts, arecurrently 25 percent, and upon implementation

will be reduced to 16 percent and completelyeliminated by 2016.

"So by next year we'll see duties of 12 percent,then 8 percent, then 4 percent, and then zero," hesaid. "So, a very fast reduction on the pork side.Chile will be essentially duty-free on all productsby 2014, so we will be on a completely levelplaying field by 2016."

Rep. Adrian Smith, R-Neb., a strong supporterof the Korean FTA, said enforcing the trade

agreement will be a major component once theFTA goes into affect.

"There are a lot of moving parts to trade policy,"Smith said. "These trade agreements try to reducethe number of moving parts, but the fact is thereis still a lot of maintenance, if you will, to what weneed to do and that is enforcing the provisions ofgiven trade agreement."

HOLDREGE - Some additional changes havebeen approved to an integrated watermanagement plan for the part of the RepublicanBasin within the Tri-Basin Natural ResourcesDistrict, but a public hearing will start asplanned at 7 p.m. April 10.

At Tuesday's Tri-Basin board meeting, the Tri-Basin board approved additional language aboutsurface water sought by the NebraskaDepartment of Natural Resources. NRD GeneralManager John Thorburn told the Hub that thechanges will be incorporated into the draft planposted on the website at www.tribasinnrd.com.

The hearing was set at the Feb. 21 boardmeeting. It will precede the April 10 boardmeeting at the Tri-Basin office in Holdrege.

The plan was written by Tri-Basin, whichoversees groundwater use, and DNR, whichgoverns surface water. Thorburn said last monththat, for the most part, Tri-Basin will continuedoing what it has been doing to protectgroundwater and streamflows.

The plan could require accounting adjustmentsfor future transfers of certified irrigated acres toreflect that groundwater use closer to aRepublican River tributary has a bigger effect onstreamflows than wells farther away.

Also as part of the plan, the NRD's Projects andConstruction Committee has looked at potentialstreamflow augmentation projects.

The overall goal is to reduce Tri-Basin'sRepublican Basin streamflow depletions by 2,000acre-feet.

"If we had to do that all through regulation, weestimate that we'd have to take 10,000 acres ofcropland out of production," Thorburn said lastmonth, adding that many variables woulddetermine the exact number.

In other business Tuesday, Thorburn said theboard set 2012 unit-of-benefit rates for all thedrainage improvement project areas in thedistrict. The rates either stayed the same or werereduced.

Each property within an IPA is assigned anumber of units based on the benefits it receivesfrom the project.

Thorburn said the IPAs have be established foryears, and they all have built up funds for projectmaintenance. So, the same or lower rates can becharged this year and still maintain the required$10,000 balance in each account.

Issues related to the certified irrigated acresrequired when building a feedlot and whetherlandowners should be required to identify awater source for certified irrigated acres werereferred to the board's Planning Committee forfurther review.

WASHINGTON – The National Cattlemen'sBeef Association (NCBA), March 14, 2012,submitted comments on the U.S. Department ofAgriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural MarketingService proposed rule pertaining to the BeefCheckoff Program. The proposed rule wouldexpand contracting authority by eliminating therequirement that only allows organizations activeand ongoing since 1985 to contract with thecheckoff. The proposed rule would allow nationalnon-profit, industry-governed organizations thathave been representing the cattle industry for atleast two years to be eligible to contract for theimplementation of checkoff programs.

NCBA President J.D. Alexander said the rule isgood for the industry and good for the checkoff. Hesaid the proposed rule would ensure cattlemen aregetting the best return on their investment.

“NCBA supports an open and transparentcheckoff program that is producer driven. Thisproposed rule would simply enhance this quest,”said Alexander. “We support a competitivecheckoff contracting system that ensuresproducers are getting the absolute best return ontheir investment. We believe a multitude of ideascoming from several different organizations willenhance creativity and innovation regardingtechniques to build and defend beef demand.Along with ideas, contractors must come to thetable with the know-how and the resources totransform ideas into reality.”

Independent research conducted by theCattlemen’s Beef Board released in January 2012shows that beef producer support for the checkoffis higher than it has been in 18 years. Seventy-sixpercent of producers support the checkoff. These

producers say the checkoff “influences beefdemand, contributes to their profitability andrepresents their interests.” Four of five producerssay that the beef checkoff is of value to them andtwo of three believe it is well managed. Alexandersaid the proposed rule will likely escalateproducer confidence in the checkoff.

“The end-game is to make absolute certain thatthe very best initiatives to increase and solidifydemand for U.S. beef are pursued. The proposedrule would allow more ideas to be brought to thetable for consideration. It is cut and dry,” saidAlexander. “NCBA is a proud contractor of the beefcheckoff and looks forward to continuing thatrole.”

Comments on the proposed rule must besubmitted to the Federal Register by May 1, 2012.

NCBA Supports Rule to IncreaseCompetitiveness of Checkoff Funds

WASHINGTON – Although the Highway Bill(S.1813) has been a victim of partisan politics,according to National Cattlemen’s BeefAssociation Associate Director of LegislativeAffairs Kent Bacus, Senate Majority LeaderHarry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority LeaderMitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reached an agreement onthe consideration of a series of amendments to theHighway Bill. Two of those amendments, whichpassed today, are of particular importance forfarm and ranch families. Specifically, anamendment brought forth by Senator Jeff Merkley(D-Ore.) will exempt drivers of farm vehicles fromhaving to acquire a commercial driver’s license.Another amendment, introduced by Senator AmyKlobuchar (D-Minn.), will waive hours of servicerestrictions during harvest seasons.

“Farmers and ranchers are not professionaltruck drivers and shouldn’t be treated as such.

Hauling livestock to market two times a year ishardly the same as hauling goods across thecountry on a daily basis. Subjecting familyfarmers and ranchers to costly and requirementsis an unnecessary burden we cannot afford,” saidBacus. “NCBA and its members were pleased tosee the U.S. Senate approve two commonsenseamendments that differentiate agriculture fromcommercial transportation.”

The amendment brought up by Sen. Klobucharis similar to H.R. 3265, sponsored byCongressman Sam Graves (R-Mo.), which waivescertain driving restrictions during planting andharvest seasons for producers who aretransporting agricultural goods. Bacus said theamendment would allow farmers and ranchers totransport goods during harvest seasons whennecessary instead of being subject to certain timerequirements. The Farmers’ Freedom Act of 2011,

H.R. 2414, sponsored by Congressman JamesLankford (R-Okla.) is similar to the amendmentsponsored by Sen. Merkley. This legislationexempts certain farm vehicles, including theindividual operating the vehicle, from certainfederal requirement such as commercial driver’slicenses.

According to the U.S. House of Representatives,it is not moving forward with its version of theHighway Bill. Instead, the House will take up thetwo-year Senate bill, sponsored by Sens. BarbaraBoxer (D-Calif.) and James Inhofe (R-Okla.),which was debated in the Senate today. Once theSenate concludes consideration of theamendments, the bipartisan legislation will bebrought up for consideration this week. The billwill then move to the House for consideration.

Live cattle trade has chopped around this week afterfalling from the recent highs. The April contract is $1.20higher through Friday, but has stayed fairly soft in tone.Meaning the recovery has been limited and the marketstill looks weak; a confirmation of lower cash trade couldgive us another leg down confirming the topping actionthe past two weeks. Feeder Cattle contracts are $1.20higher on the week, but we expect selling pressurebefore the week is out if corn trade stays firm. The charttrend turned negative two early last week to the weekprior, but has stayed above a key support level, the April200-day at $125.80. The cutout has continued its slidewith choice down $2.97 at $190.87, and select down$4.21 to $189.15, as retailers balked at high prices.Export demand slipped in January, and imports havestarted to surface at the ground beef end of the scale.

Show lists are smaller this week, but packers are contin-uing to work bids lower offer in $123, while feeders arelooking for steady cash in the $127 range. Significanttrade is not expected to develop until Thursday after-noon or Friday. Packer margins are still fairly marginal,but they have been able share the reduction in cutoutprices with the feeders the last couple of weeks. Theimproved prospects for rain have continued to promoteholding of feeder cattle across the Southern Plains forbackground and heifer replacement. The tight numberswill benefit the cattleman, but the rising costs of livingmay add some downward pressure on beef demand.Hedgers call with questions or to discuss your hedgingplan with us.

Lean hog trade has strongly moved sideways this week ; theApril range has been less than $1.25 and the weekly net change is10 lower. The chart action early last week was bearish, but wehave consolidated so the market should be ready to react to a cashmove, otherwise we may stay sideways. The April contract isbelow all the major moving averages with most clustered in the$88 to $90 range; so we need a move above here to turn the trendback to positive. Support is down in the $85.90 to $86.70 areawhere we find the lows of the past winter and fall. June has movedbelow $95 with speculative length exiting the market. Cash priceshave been steady to soft as packers look to step up kill a little,while lukewarm demand keeps them from getting to out of hand.Warm weather is expected to support increasing carcass weightscoming forward. The pork cutout has continued to have sidewaysto weak action as Easter demand has been disappointed so far.Beef and poultry continue to firm in price which should give hogsa chance to capture business domestically. The January exportnumbers were a record, and the larger exports will need to be sus-tained as the evidence of growing herds mount. Hedgers call withquestions.
