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

The past two weekswere excessivelywarm, with hight e m p e r a t u r e saveraging 15-25 Fabove normal. Treeshave broken dormancyand are up to a monthahead of last yearspace and at least twoweeks ahead of theunusual warmthexperienced in 2007.The most significantmoisture event fellduring the 3/19-3/22period. Unfortunately,

moisture was not sufficient to ease concerns aboutdry conditions and the latest U.S. DroughtMonitor has upgraded southwest Nebraska andthe Panhandle to abnormally dry. Models are allover the place in regards to moisture andtemperatures during the next two weeks. Modelsare seesawing from above normal moisture andsignificant cold air during the 4/4-4/8 period towell above normal temperatures and belownormal moisture. This forecast takes intoconsideration the latest model runs that have a

warm bias. Be aware that if the cold doesmaterialize as depicted in earlier model runs,then a hard freeze (28 F or lower) could impactNebraska, Kansas, and northern Oklahomaduring this time frame.

Week One Forecast, 3/31 - 4/6: High pressure isexpected to dominate the region during the 3/21-4/1 period, with high temperatures returning tothe upper 70's to mid 80's. Low pressure isprojected to develop across western Nebraska on4/1 and generate scattered thunderstorms duringthe evening hours across the Panhandle. Thisactivity is projected to spread eastward during 4/2with scattered showers and/or thunderstormsending from west to east as the day progresses.There is enough cold air behind this system thatfrost and/or freeze conditions may be experiencedacross the northwestern ½ of the state during themorning hours of 4/3. Scattered frost is currentlypossible for the southeastern ½ of the state.Temperatures will continue to warm during theremainder of the week as high pressure buildsinto the central Plains. High temperatures couldreturn to the 70's north and 80's south as early as4/5. High Temperatures: 3/31 (mid 70's N E- low80's SW), 4/1 (mid 70's NW - low 80's SE), 4/2 (mid50's NW - mid 60's SE), 4/3 (mid 50's NE - mid 60's

SW), 4/4 (upper 50's NE - upper 60's SW), 4/5-4/6(low 70's NE - low 80's SW).

Week Two Forecast, 3/24 - 3/30: Two systems areforecasted to impact the state during this period.The first system is projected to impact the state atthe beginning of this forecast period with rain andscattered thunderstorms spreading from west toeast on 4/7. Showers and an occasionalthunderstorm are possible on 4/8 for the eastern2/3 of the state, with the moisture ending by theevening hours. Dry conditions are currentlyforecasted for the 4/9-4/11 period before anotherstorm system develops over western Kansas on4/12. As the system heads northeast, a warmfront in advance of the low could generatescattered showers and thunderstorms through4/23 across the eastern ½ of the state. If previousmodels are correct, then the 4/7-4/8 system willlinger through 4/10 and bring a surge of Arctic airinto the central and southern Plains, setting upthe potential for a hard freeze to much of thewheat belt north of central Oklahoma. HighTemperatures: 4/7 (mid 50's N - low 60's S), 4/8(low 50's NE - low 60's SW), 4/9 (mid 50's NE - low70's SW), 4/10 (low 70's N - low 80's SW), 4/11 (mid70's NE - mid 80's SW), 4/12 (upper 50's NW - mid70's S), 4/13 (low 50's N - low 60's S).

Believe it or not, we are nearing the time whenwe will see ant and termite swarms in Nebraska.Ants swarming in and outside homes createconcerns for homeowners that these wingedinsects are termites. While some ants do nest inthe wood of homes, many ants do not. They areconsidered nuisance invaders.

Identification - Ants are recognized by threefairly distinct body sections, a thin “waist” andelbowed antenna. Termites are blackish gray andonly have two distinct body sections withstraight antenna. Swarming ants have 2 pairs ofwings of unequal size, while swarming termiteshave wings of equal length.

Another identifying characteristic of some antsis a citrus or lemon-like odor when crushed. Formore information, check out these AntIdentification Resources.

Location - Most ants nest in soil. Theyconstruct nests under logs, rocks, patio blocks,porches, concrete patios and more. They oftenexcavate large amounts of soil as they build theirnests. If the colony is under a concrete slab of astructure, the soil may continue to pile up.

Since most ant nests are in the soil and not inwood, caulking cracks or openings where ants

may be entering the building is an effectivemanagement option. For ants swarming indoors,control with a vacuum or aerosol spray.

Control - Control of the ant colony involveslocating and treating the nest with aninsecticide. If you cannot locate and treat thenest yourself, contact a licensed pest controloperator. Baits may not be effective for certainants.

Some types of ants do nest in the wood ofhomes and may be present year round, althoughthey are more active during warm months. Antspecies that may live in Nebraska homes includecrazy ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants,pharaoh ants, thief ants, and carpenter ants.

Spraying an insecticide to control the foragingworkers of these ants may provide short-termcontrol. For long term control, locating anddestroying the nest is the best way to eliminatethese ants. Ant baits can work if they are usedcorrectly; although ant baits may not work aswell with carpenter ants.

Unlike other home-inhabiting ants, carpenterants cause structural damage to wood bytunneling and nesting inside wood. However,they rarely nest in sound wood, but most ofteninvade wood that has become wet and started todecay. Preventing moisture problems is a key topreventing carpenter ant colonies in buildings.

Ants May Invade Homes in Springtime

There are some important safe handlingmethods to remember this time of year whenyou’re decorating, cooking or hiding Easter eggssince eggs are handled a great deal more thanusual around Easter. Remember to:

Wash your hands thoroughly with hot soapywater and rinse them before handling the eggswhen cooking, cooling, dyeing and hiding them.

Be sure and inspect the eggs before purchasingthem, making sure they are not dirty or cracked.Dangerous bacteria may enter a cracked egg.

Store eggs in their original cartons in therefrigerator rather than the refrigerator door.

If you’re having an Easter egg hunt, considerhiding places carefully. Avoid areas where theeggs might come into contact with pets, wildanimals, birds, reptiles, insects or lawnchemicals.

Make sure you find all the eggs you’ve hiddenand then refrigerate them. Discard cracked eggs.

As long as the eggs are NOT out ofrefrigeration over two hours, they will be safe toeat. Do not eat eggs that have been out ofrefrigeration more than two hours. Refrigeratehard-cooked eggs in their shells and use themwithin 1 week. If you are planning to use coloredeggs as decorations, (for centerpieces, etc.) wherethe eggs will be out of refrigeration for manyhours or several days, discard them after theyhave served their decorative purpose.

by Lee Pitts

I suppose that the two men sitting at thelunch counter were what raunchy stagecomedians would refer to as "rednecks."You've probably heard all the redneck jokesthat seem to have replaced ethnic humor asa result of political correctness. As if theyaren’t just as demeaning.

The redneck shops for groceries at a gasstation and paints his car with house paint;the passenger window in his old truck iscovered by a plastic trash bag; his mail boxis made out of old auto parts and his dogdoubles as a dishwasher. He still refers tofifth grade as his senior year. Ha, ha.

Admittedly all very funny. Yes indeed. Butconsider, if you will, the origin of the term.People were initially referred to as"rednecks" because their necks were burnedfrom working hard for hours on end in theglaring sun, day after day. Doesn't it saysomething about our society that such aperson is now the subject of jokes andridicule?

The horseshoer and the sheep shearer Iknow were sharing coffee and sparseconversation at a cafe that definitely has aredneck tilt to it. I suppose that’s why I likeit. Both the men’s necks were definitely red,and the texture of old leather. The skin ontheir hardened hands was cracked and

calloused and both were slightly stooped;the shoer from countless horses leaning onhim and the shearer from years of bendingover fleecy objects. The men talked little,out of practice, I suppose. The horseshoerseldom opened his mouth because usuallywhen he did horseshoe nails would fall out.And anyway, he wasn’t the talkative type,this man who could gentle a horse with awhisper.

The shearer's work boots had been shinedto a glossy sheen by the lanolin in thefleeces of one ewe after another. Oneendless mob of mutton. Although theshearer weighed less than 150 poundsdripping wet (which he often was), he couldeffortlessly throw a ram twice his weight.The Mexican spoke with a quiet dignity, hisvocabulary the blending of two cultures.After working hard all day no doubt hesleeps well at night, with no need forcounting sheep.

Both men wore scars. The shearer had aneight inch scar running down his forearmwhere his clippers once took on a mind oftheir own, and the hoof shaper wore theimprint of a well aimed horseshoe, no doubtdelivered by a cold-jawed wring tail.

They made their living doing honest labor.Two words that seldom find themselves in

the same sentence these days. Theirs is thedirty drudgery of piece work. When theirbacks give out they’ll retire without apension; but their reputations will beintact. They are responsible for their ownmedical insurance and their ownequipment, which they keep well honed.They have not been ruined by the luxury ofa steady pay check nor have they been inthe habit of stockpiling luxury goods. Aftera long hard day they enjoy just sitting backwith a beer making jokes about what they'lldo with the profits from their labor. Maybestart a bank or buy a ranch.

Fat chance of that.Someday these men will probably be

replaced by a chemical that makes fleecefall off and a super glue for horseshoes.

As the two said goodbye they shook hands.It was a handshake that would crush rock.The shoer departed to get under yet anotherhorse and the shearer to sharpen his bladesfor another full day in the shearing shed.

Sitting there I got the feeling of a pennyamongst dimes. A mice among men. And thethought occurred to me that we have noright to measure any man by the color of hiscollar, nor the skin on his neck.

March 29, 2012 Heartland Express - Government Page 5

This past Friday marked the two-yearanniversary of the enactment of PresidentObama’s health care law, formally known as thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act.Nebraskans often remind me of theirdispleasure of the process used by Congress topass the bill. Two years later, health care costsare soaring and the non-partisan CongressionalBudget Office (CBO) is forecasting as many as20 million Americans could lose the health carecoverage they were promised they could keep.

Meanwhile, the law continues to sloweconomic recovery by growing government,burdening job creators, and adding toWashington’s unsustainable spending pattern.The CBO recently released new estimates of thelaw’s cost, showing it had doubled to nearly $2trillion. One can assume as the years pass, thisfigure only will continue to increase. Inaddition, the CBO found that instead oflowering the cost of family premiums by $2,500as the law’s supporters promised, the cost ofhealth insurance will actually rise by $2,100per family by 2016. To add insult to injury, theCBO estimates the President’s signature

legislation will cost our economy 800,000 jobs.All of this at a time of record unemployment.

When you consider the nearly 2,000 waiversthe Administration has issued – primarily tolabor unions and the President’s political allies– it clear some of the law’s biggest advocates arethe ones most actively avoiding having to abideby it. It is no surprise a recent ABC News pollfound 52 percent of Americans oppose thehealth care law while 67 percent believe theSupreme Court should strike down either thelaw itself or at least the individual mandate.

Over the past two years, I have voted 26 timesto repeal, dismantle, or defund this misguidedlaw – many times on a bipartisan basis. Justthis past week, I joined colleagues from bothsides of the aisle to repeal the health care law’sIndependent Payment Advisory Board, or IPAB.This fifteen-member panel of unelectedbureaucrats would have the power to limitaccess to medical treatments by reducingMedicare reimbursements for disfavoredprocedures to the point where physicianssimply would no longer provide them. It is aclassic case of government getting betweenpatients and their doctors. I’ve also worked on

a bipartisan basis in the House to repeal theunsustainable CLASS Act and to relievebusinesses of the law’s burdensome 1099reporting requirement.

Repeal alone, however, is not enough.Nebraskans understand we need a newdirection – one which respects our Constitutionand does not bury future generations with moredebt. We need a commonsense, patient-centeredapproach which promotes consumer choice andincreases access to affordable care – not a lawwhich only claims to.

Market-based solutions like those which havebeen proposed in the House of Representativesare the only reforms non-partisan experts havesaid would actually make health insurance lesscostly for the American people. For example,this week I voted to pass bipartisan medicalmalpractice reform, which would savetaxpayers $45 billion and lower medicalmalpractice insurance premiums by an averageof 25-30 percent.

I remain committed to advancing similarproposals so our health care system truly offerslower costs and increased access for Nebraska’sfamilies, seniors, and small businesses.

Real-World Impact of the Health Care Lawby Senator Mike Johanns

Both before and after passage of the health carelaw two years ago, we've seen many objective,nonpartisan analyses about the negativeconsequences of the health care law. Many of thesetroubling reports aid us in our understanding ofthe law's long-term impacts, but it's also helpful tohear real-world stories to know how the law isaffecting American families and small businesses.I've been fortunate enough to meet and speak withsome of these folks, whose experiences exemplifywhat I mean when I say the law is bad for oureconomy, job creation, and our overall health caresystem.

When the law was passed, its proponentsinsisted we needed it largely because it wouldlower health care costs. President Obama evenpromised Americans would see their premiumsdecrease on average by $2,500 in his first term. Yetfor the several hundred employees at Toba Inc., afood distributor in Grand Island, the opposite hashappened.

According to Toba CEO Tony Wald, who was kindenough to offer this information, Toba's healthcare premiums recently increased by 26 percent asa direct result of provisions in the new law. Thisamounts to an extra $188,000 which willultimately be passed on to Toba employees.Depending on the season, Toba employs between200 and 300 Nebraskans; these families will allhave to cover their share of that $188,000. Similarincreases will be seen across the state.

We were also promised the law would be good forthe economy and job creation. The only problem is,businesses with a chance to grow are now holdingoff because of the new law. Yellow Van Cleaning inKearney is one such business facing this difficultdecision.

Yellow Van currently employs 48 people andwould like to bring on more. Yet doing so wouldtrigger the provision requiring businesses with 50employees or more to provide government-approved health insurance or else pay a fine.Because health care costs remain so high, paying

the fine would be cheaper than the cost ofinsurance, and even that would subtract an extra$50,000 annually from their bottom line. Far fromimproving our economy, the law is inhibiting it byproviding a deterrent to job growth. It'sremarkable that in the midst of our economicstruggles the President's signature legislationwould actually inhibit job growth.

These are only two examples of the new law'snegative consequences – on top of previouslypublicized lay-offs in Omaha and a steady streamof reports detailing the negative consequences. Fora law supporters promised to keep our health caresystem stable for those comfortable with theirplan, and lower costs for those struggling withhigh premiums, we're instead seeing the opposite.As the U.S. Supreme Court begins consideration ofthe law's constitutionality this week, it'simportant to keep these real-world examples inmind. Nebraska's families and businesses cannotafford the law, and neither can our country.

I want to remind Nebraskans that the severeweather season is beginning and all of us needto take steps to be ready. Last year our statesuffered record flooding along the Platte andMissouri Rivers. Promoting preparedness forflooding and severe weather can help preventserious injury and loss of life and propertyacross our state.

Last year was a record-breaking year fortornados across the United States. More than1,700 were reported with more than 1,000weather-related fatalities across the nation aswell as 8,000 injuries. In Nebraska, there werenearly 20 tornadoes on June 20 alone.

These tragic losses fuel the National Oceanicand Atmospheric Administration’s resolve tobuild a weather-ready nation. That’s weather-ready not weather proof. Severe weather canstrike anywhere and anytime. I wantNebraskans to be prepared.

This year Nebraska had its first-everconfirmed tornado in the month of February.

Already this year tornadoes have hitcommunities in Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee,Alabama and Kentucky. One of the best wayswe can prepare is by working together.

The devastating impacts of extreme eventscan be reduced through improved readiness.Individuals need to recognize hazards andunderstand terms such as tornado watch whichmeans conditions are favorable for a tornado todevelop and tornado warning which means atornado has been detected by radar or reportedby storm spotters and be prepared to actappropriately.

We are lucky to live during a time when thereare multiple mediums of communication to beaware of and prepare for approaching severeweather. Weather radios, phone apps, privatecompany alerts, television, radio and theweather service are available to provideinformation on approaching severe weather.Find a trusted source and use it to stayinformed.

Before an event occurs is the time to preparefor severe weather. Listen carefully toinstructions from local officials and take therecommended protective measures to safeguardlife and property.

Important items to have ready in case of anemergency include a battery-powered radio,flashlight with extra batteries, medicines, non-perishable food, a hand-operated can opener, autility knife, and first aid supplies. Be sure tocopy important documents, such as medicalrecords, contracts, property deeds, leases,banking records, insurance records, and birthcertificates and keep them in a safe place. Formore ideas on how to be prepared, visitwww.Ready.gov.

I encourage our citizens to take steps toensure families, homes and businesses areprepared for a possible emergency. Let’s allwork together to keep Nebraskans safe.

The conference theme focuses on "blue water"drawn from aquifers, rivers and lakes to fuelirrigated agriculture, and "green water" that fallsas precipitation and is stored in fields to sustainrainfed crops. To meet the growing global fooddemand, agriculture will need to find ways to useless water and boost both rainfed and irrigatedcrop yields.

"Finding ways to increase water productivitythrough improved technologies and crops andinnovative management practices and policies isone of the greatest challenges facing agriculture,"said Roberto Lenton, founding executive directorof the Daugherty Water for Food Institute. "Thisconference draws people from around the worldwho are working to find solutions to one of the

world's most vexing challenges: how to feed morepeople with limited water."

Plenary speakers will include Jeff Raikes, CEOof the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; MalinFalkenmark, senior scientific adviser of theStockholm International Water Institute; ColinChartres, director general of the InternationalWater Management Institute; and Ruth Meinzen-Dick, senior research fellow of the InternationalFood Policy Research Institute, along with Lentonand others.

Speakers, panels and case studies will offerdiverse approaches to water and food issues.Sessions include "Women, Water and Food," aroundtable discussion; an industry leaders paneloffering their perspectives on water for foodchallenges; a panel of agricultural producers fromseveral countries; and case studies on integratedwater management in Nebraska and in Brazil's

Piracicaba River basin. This year's technicalsessions are "Assessing Groundwater Resourcesin Water-Stressed Regions" and "Emerging CropTechnologies for Improving Performance in ToughEnvironments." Graduate students from aroundthe globe are invited to enter a poster competition.

May 12 Dec. 12Support: 595 518Resistance 669 571

Corn trade has broken sharply this week ahead of big USDAreports, the March Planting Intentions and March 1 Stocksreport due out on Friday. May corn is down 26 cents andDecember is down 22 on the week heading into Thursday.Long position interest continues to exit the complex ahead ofthe planting intentions and stocks reports. The market haspressed into the lowest levels since December. On the chartthe nearby May contract is below all major moving averages;resistance is up at the 50-day moving average at $6.38, andsupport is at $6. So the chart remains negative at this junctureand could trip more fund selling in the days ahead. The breakhas priced corn much more competitively for the export mar-kets. Outside markets have been weaker this week with worldeconomic concerns pick up, and the stock market consolidateshere near the yearly high with the potential to slip/correct.Second crop corn areas in Brazil have remained dry whichcould lower expectations in a hurry as we role into April if bet-ter moisture is not seen. The Argentine harvest is showing dis-appointing yields so far. However, they will be more competi-tive in the export arena in the near term as freshly harvestedcorn makes its way into the market. Export inspections werelower this week at 22.216 million bushels, but overall ship-ments have remained ahead of the projected USDA pace.Ethanol margins have stayed in the black for many plants thisweek, and ethanol values have improved with spring mainte-nance reducing supply, and spring driving season improvingconsumption. Chinese corn values have remained well sup-ported, and they have reportedly been buying US corn thisweek. Wheat feeding is expected to continue to increase withample wheat supplies, at the expense of corn. Expectations forFriday’s report include planted acres for new crop at 94.7 mil-lion acres with expectations from 93.6 to 95.6 million, andquarterly corn stocks at 6.15 billion bushels with a range from5.95 billion to 6.3 billion bushels. The weekly export saleswere disappointing at 130,700 metric tons for old crop, and27.000 for new versus expectations of 500,000 to 750,000 met-ric tons. Hedgers call with questions or to discuss your 2012and 2013 hedging plan.

Chicago K City MinneapolisSupport: 603 641 772Resistance 684 722 843

The wheat trade has followed corn lower this week withno US weather story at the moment, and generally bearish-ness pre-USDA reports expectations. The US crop is wellahead of normal and would be vulnerable to a cold snap, butforecasts continue to show above normal weather for themoment. Western Europe overall remains dry althoughsome rain will impact some areas about a week out. Theweekly net change was 25 lower in Chicago, 28 lower in KC,and 20 lower in Minneapolis. May Chicago wheat has movedback below the short term moving averages, with the lowestat $6.46 (the 10-day) and $6.48 (the 20-day), the 200-dayremains elevated at $6.99. The chart has moved back tobearish, and the speculative short will remain vulnerable toany bullish surprises. Speculative long liquidation due tolosses is the biggest downside risk now. The KC/Chicagospread has stayed around the lows at 38 cents. The Chicagowheat contract has moved back to a 15 cent premium tocorn, discouraging feed wheat usage. On Monday the USDAreported crop conditions for Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texasshowed continued improvement and the forecasted rains areexpected to further support crop developed. Some forecastsearly in the week indicated a frost threat but those haveabated at midweek. Dryness in Western Europe couldbecome a much greater concern in the next month. Russianwheat looks good for the moment. Russia has continued tostick by their no export ban stance, but they have beenpriced at non-competitive levels in the market. Exportinspections slipped to 15.5 million bushels. This is aroundthe area needed to stay at the USDA projected pace. Worldexport trade remains active with most major exportingnations finding business. Expectations for Friday’s reportinclude grain stocks at 57.4 million acres with a range of55.5 to 58.2, and grain stocks at 1.223 billion bushels and arange of 1.181 to 1.285 billion. The weekly export salesreport was low with 226,000 metric tons of old crop, and177,000 of new crop vs. expectations of 300,000 to 500,000metric tons. The lower prices could stimulate export demandin April. Hedgers call with questions.

May May Meal May OilSupport: 1315 361 5253Resistance 1415 388 5685

May 2012 Soybeans (CBOT) - Daily Chart

Soybean price action has been strongly sideways at thetopside of the recent range. On the week May futures are 2higher and November futures are down 1. Nearby meal is up$5 and bean oil is down 30 points. The soy complex contin-ues to gain relative to corn, but the warm weather is raisingexpectations of further acre losses relative to corn. Our biasis bean acreage will be higher due to limited corn seed avail-ability and the price action the past two months. May soy-bean chart support is at the 10-day moving average at 13.64,the 20-day at $13.52, then the 200-day at 12.88. Novemberbeans are supported around the $13.10 area. The breakleaves resistance at the $13.89 area on the spike high fornow. Harvest continues to advance in South America, whileproduction estimates continue to decline. China continues tomaintain elevated soybean imports, with a record amountcoming from South America in the first couple months of theyear. There is some speculation that Chinese imports couldexceed projections of 55 million metric tons. Export inspec-tions increased bit on the week, up to 24.9 million bushels.Dryness in Canola areas has also helped to support the soycomplex, and the canola markets have been bid up thisweek. Exports on the week were mostly in line with expec-tations at 471,900 metric tons of old crop, and 120,000 met-ric tons of new crop vs. 600,000 to 800,000 metric tonsexpected. This does keep bean sales ahead of the pace need-ed to meet current USDA expectations though. Productsales were mixed at 132,900 metric tons of meal while75,000 to 150,000 metric tons were expected, and 3,800 met-ric tons of soy oil vs. 5,000 to 15,000 expected. Expectationsfor Friday’s report are for planted acres of beans from 74million to 76.7 million, with average at 75.4. Quarterlystocks are estimated at 1.387 billion bushels with a range of1.27 to 1.585 billion bushels. Hedgers call with questions,we favor using this move to get a bigger portion of new croppriced and get some options under everything maybe beforethe month is over.

We had a perfectday to host the annual Blue Rock Shoot, andeveryone certainly enjoyed the day and walkedaway with some nice prizes. Students alsocompeted in District Leadership Skills Eventsjust before Christmas break. While Spaldingdidn’t have any state qualifiers, we did havemore students participate than last year, and allthe students that participated did an excellentjob. We are looking forward to an even strongershowing next year.

On Tuesday, March 6, the Greeley-WolbachFFA members attended District LivestockJudging in Ord. Students spent weeksbeforehand learning how to judge livestockproperly, basing their answers on qualities suchas the animal’s stance, the amount of fat ormuscle their bodies carry, and even the way theywalk. There were seven classes the students hadto judge ranging from bulls to breeding ewes andfrom sheep to market heifers. After some of theclasses, competitors were required to answerquestions about the livestock they judged.Students in the Senior Division were asked togive reasons after the initial judging was over.When giving reasons, each student had to standbefore a judge and, in the span of 30 seconds toone minute, justify their answers as to why theyplaced the class in the way they did. Results ofthe contest are posted below.

DIXON: Conditions over the past two weekshave felt more like mid to late spring. Spring workis far ahead of normal. Dry conditions havecarried over from the fall here in NortheastNebraska.

KNOX: Primary activities have been marketinggrain, calving, and preparation for spring fieldwork. Warm conditions have caused grass andtrees to be at least three weeks ahead of normal.

"Twenty insurance companies in Bermuda,Japan, Switzerland, Australia, Canada and theU.S. were paid $7.1 billion in U.S. taxpayer fundsfrom 2007 to 2011 to sell American farmers cropinsurance policies, an Environmental WorkingGroup analysis shows.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's RiskManagement Agency paid these companies foradministrative and operating expenses for thefederally subsidized crop insurance program.

The agency also reported $8.1 billion inunderwriting gains during the same period buthas not disclosed how much of the gains eachcompany received. EWG has filed a Freedom ofInformation Act request for this information.

Switzerland-based ACE Limited was the secondlargest recipient of these payments, raking in $1.5

billion. Australia-based QBE Insurance Groupranked third, with $832 million, and Bermuda-based Endurance Specialty Holdings Limitedranked fifth, with $446.3 million.

"More and more tax dollars are flowing toforeign insurance companies and away fromfarmers, working families and the environment,"Scott Faber, EWG vice president for governmentaffairs, said at a media briefing on the 2012 FarmBill. "These insurance subsidies are beingprovided with no strings attached to the largestand most profitable farm operators and foreigninsurance companies."

Payments to companies for administrative andoperating expenses are only part of the growingcost to taxpayers of crop insurance. Taxpayersalso pick up the tab for subsidies that lower the

premiums farmers pay. The taxpayer's share ofthese premiums has soared from $1.5 billion in2002 to $7.4 billion in 2011. Crop and revenueinsurance is now the primary federal support forfarm income. In 2011, USDA paid $5.2 billion indirect and Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE)payments and $7.4 billion in insurance premiumsubsidies.

"Insurance programs are now more valuable tofarmers than direct payments," said Craig Cox,EWG senior vice president for agriculture andnatural resources. "There are far less costly waysto help America's farmers in times of need."

Foreign Firms Paid Billions to Provide U.S. Crop Insurance

By Robert Pore, The Grand Island Independent

Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., is part of abipartisan group of senators introducinglegislation to cap federal farm payments tolarge farming operations.

"For too long, mega-farms have receivedmega-payments, putting family farms at adisadvantage," said Nelson. "Our bipartisanbill sets a reasonable threshold, capping farmpayments at no more than $250,000 for anysingle farm per year. With farm incomebooming and our deficit far too large, the timehas come to rein in these payments."

Nelson, a member of the Senate AgricultureCommittee, co-sponsored the Rural AmericaPreservation Act of 2012 with Sens. ChuckGrassley and Tom Harkin, both of Iowa, TimJohnson of South Dakota, Sherrod Brown ofOhio, Mike Enzi of Wyoming and KirstenGillibrand of New York.

In specific, Nelson said the bill reduces totalpayments for a married couple " includingdirect payments if they are continued, counter-cyclical payments, acreage crop revenueelection payments and any new form of price orrevenue-triggered commodity payments in thenext farm bill " from $210,000 to $100,000. Italso reduces marketing loan gains and loan

deficiency payments from no limit at all to$150,000.

"I have believed for a long time, along withmost Nebraskans, that our farm programshould not encourage consolidation inagriculture and it should provide incentives toour small and medium-size farms," Nelson said."These mega-payments to mega-farms do theopposite, and it's time to end them. As I've saidmany times, our farm policy needs to move inthe direction of crop insurance to provide thesafety net farmers need, and away from directpayments."

According to the Environmental WorkingGroup, fewer than two dozen farms inNebraska received payments in excess of$250,000 in 2010.

Brian Depew, acting executive director of theCenter for Rural Affairs, said the legislation"represents the most important step Congresscan take to strengthen family farms " limit thesubsidies that mega-farms use to drive smalleroperations out of business."

"The Grassley-Johnson bill includesmeasures to close the loopholes in farmpayment limitations that others in Washingtonknow how to close but won't, thanks to thepolitical clout of mega-farms," Depew said.

According to Depew, the new payment limitsbill has a hard cap on marketing loan gains of$75,000 ($150,000 for a couple). The remainderof the payment limit would be a cap on the totalamount a farmer can receive in safety-netpayments in general. For instance, if theCongress were to adopt a shallow loss program,the Grassley-Johnson bill would set a limit of$50,000 ($100,000 for a couple) that a farmercould receive.

Additionally, the bill closes loopholes thatallow funding to people with ties to farmland

whose management consists of little more thanan occasional phone call. The bill sets ameasurable standard for someone to qualify asactively engaged in farming by providingmanagement for the operation, and the billprovides an exception for farming operationswhere there is only one manager of the farm.This exception should help the Department ofAgriculture administer the standard.

"The bill would tighten rules that aresupposed to limit payments to active farmerswho work the land and their landlords. Currentlaw is weak. Investors who participate in one ortwo conference calls are considered activefarmers, allowing mega-farms to get aroundpayment limitations by claiming uninvolvedinvestors as partners," said Depew.

National Farmers Union (NFU) supports theefforts to establish payment limitations onfarm programs.

"Farm bill programs are designed to helpprotect farmers in times of need, not to makefarmers and ranchers rich," said NFUPresident Roger Johnson. "The Grassley-Johnson bill strengthens the definition ofactively engaged in farming' by requiringsubstantial active management and/or personallabor on the farm operation."

Johnson said directing farm program benefitsso that they meet the "reasonable needs offamily farmers" would reduce government costswhile furthering the sustainability of ourfamily farms, our rural communities and ournatural resources."

"This bill helps to direct where farmpayments are going and ensure that they aregoing only to those who are active on farms andranches. I encourage Congress to pass thisfiscally responsible piece of legislation as soonas possible," he said.

LINCOLN– Nebraska Department ofAgriculture (NDA) Director Greg Ibach isreminding livestock producers to follow thestate’s importation requirements whenmoving animals into Nebraska.

“The importation requirements are in placeto help protect the health of Nebraska’sanimals,” said Ibach. “When people disregardthe importation orders, they put the viabilityof all Nebraska livestock owners at risk.”

“They also put at risk Nebraska’s reputationas one of the top livestock and meatproduction states in the nation,” Ibach said.“These are risks our state cannot afford.”

Ibach said NDA began increasing livestockimportation surveillance last year, after thestate dealt with bovine tuberculosis casesfrom 2009 to 2011 and after the stateexperienced an influx of cattle from thedrought-stricken South in 2011. Theincreased surveillance includes randomlivestock vehicle stops near the state borders,as well as additional detailed review oflivestock health certificates as they come intothe NDA offices. NDA also is conducting areview of its existing import orders andregulations.

Several violations of importationrequirements have been detected by the

additional surveillance work. SinceSeptember, NDA investigators have issued 35quarantines of animals that were beingimproperly imported into the state.

“There are a number of diseases of concernto Nebraska’s livestock industry that recentlyhave gained increasing attention nationwide.Among these are brucellosis, tuberculosis andtrichomoniasis,” said State Veterinarian Dr.Dennis Hughes. “It is important for thoseimporting animals into Nebraska to follow themost current import regulations and orders.”

Hughes said, “It is the responsibility of theNDA to help protect our state’s livestock herd,but producers must share that responsibilityand do the right thing by following all importregulations.”

Producers who are considering movinglivestock from another state into Nebraskaneed to contact the NDA State Veterinarian’soffice to learn about specific importrequirements. Staff can be reached by calling(402) 471-2351. Import regulations andorders also can be reviewed online atwww.agr.ne.gov. It is also advised thatproducers moving livestock from Nebraskainto another state contact the destinationstate to learn their latest importrequirements.

June 12 May 12 FeederSupport: 11840 15082Resistance 12390 15727

Live cattle trade has continued their sell off this weekwith rising concerns about demand coming forward, andthat a top has been set. The June contract is $1 lowerthis week, and has been able to sustain rallies. FeederCattle contracts are flat on the week, but declining cornprices and feeder cattle availability should help to sup-port the market. The chart remains negative for themoment with overhead resistance at the $122 area. Thecutout has been mixed to soft with choice down 3.22 at$184.24, and select down 2.23 to $184.34, as retailersbalk at high prices. Export demand will remain a con-cern with the elevated prices and concerns about Asianeconomic growth. Show lists are smaller this week, andpackers have bought some cattle at $126, while feedersare looking for steady cash in the $127 rang. While beefsupplies are ample, the early spring has packers antici-

pating earlier grilling season demand. Packer marginsare still fairly marginal, but they have been able sharethe reduction in cutout prices with the feeders the lastcouple of weeks. The improved prospects for rain havecontinued to promote holding of feeder cattle across theSouthern Plains for background and heifer replacement.Feeder cattle will remain tight in the near term, butlower cost beef for grinding is surfacing from other beefproducing nations. There have also been substantialfeeder calf imports, especially from Mexico. The month-ly Cattle on Feed report was mostly neutral to negativelast Friday. The total on feed was 103% of a year ago ver-sus expectations of 102%. Placements were in line withexpectations at 103% but marketings were 1.5% lowerthan expected at 98%. Hedgers call us with questions foryour cattle programs.

Lean hog trade followed the cattle lower this week; the Junecontract is taking over the trade with a weak tone. On the week,the contract is down 80. The chart action has continued to bebearish, but we have consolidated so the market should be readyto react to a cash move if one surfaces. The June contract is belowall the major moving averages with most clustered in the $92 to$94 range; so we need a move above here to turn the trend back topositive. Support is now down at the year ago lows around $90.June has continued to work lower, as demand concerns cool thespeculative ardor there. Cash prices have been steady to soft aspackers look to step up kill a little, while lukewarm demand keepsthem from getting to out of hand. Carcass weights have startedtheir seasonal decline. The pork cutout has continued to grindlower as retailers have not been moving pork aggressively. Beefand poultry remained higher priced, so the opportunity is there forpork find more buying. Friday’s Quarterly pigs report is expectedto show numbers at 101.7%, kept for breeding at 100.3%, and mar-ketings at 101.8%. Hedgers call with questions, the Quarterly Hogand Pig report is always a big report so expect some reaction nextweek.
