“Your Lunar Learning Curve; Get Started Observing the Moon” By Gary Fugman

Happy New Year!  How about starting 2015 with a fun project that cam be accomplished in just four weeks?  This fun project will teach you much about our nearest neighbor in space, the Moon.  The project is well suited for young or inexperienced observers and develops your visual, binocular and small telescope skills.  Besides, after this experience, you could take your “date” outside on a perfect evening, promise him/her the Moon and stars…and really deliver!
This Friday, January 16 at 7pm at the Lyons Library and Saturday, January 17 at 7pm at the Decatur Sears Center, Northeast Nebraska Astronomy Club (NENAC) with Pastor Gary Fugman will lead a discussion on completing a one month Astronomical League project to observe the Moon.  We will explain what features on the Moon can be seen with the naked eye, binoculars and a small telescope.  Then the discussion will center on what particular features to observe the third week of January, before 1st quarter Moon, the last week of January, 1st quarter Moon, the first week of February, full Moon, and the second week of February, 3rd quarter Moon.  Lists of lunar craters, seas, mountains and other features will be explained.  Ways to log and sketch your lunar observations will be discussed.  Moon maps will be made available and how to obtain your Astronomical League lunar certificate and pin will be explained.  Plus, you’ll be ready on Saturday, February14 to give your Valentine the Moon and the stars!
Later in the evening the January evening sky will be shown to all on free stars charts.  Weather permitting, Friday we will go to the Cory and Tracie Martin residence 3 miles south of Lyons and Saturday to Fugman Observatory on the south side of Decatur to observe the night sky through large, astronomical telescopes.  You are invited to bring your binoculars and telescopes as well.  Please dress warmly as winter evenings cool quickly.
For more information on this and future NENAC programs, google “nenacstars” or call Pastor Gary Fugman at 349-1953 and Keep Looking Up!
Questions to Consider:
Why are humans so intrigued with the Moon?
When you look up at the Moon, why are some areas white and some areas grey?

104th Legislature Convenes on Sad Note

January 15, 2015 Leave a comment


Returning back to work in January started on a sad note in our office and the Capitol.  On January 3rd we learned of the unexpected death of the father of our newly hired Legislative Aide, Tom Venzor. His father was a great man, husband and father who will be dearly missed. At this time, Tom is needed by his family and will be joining us once again in our office when able. We were also saddened to learn on January 8th, a loved, valued and respected Legislative Aide, Chris Keetle unexpectedly passed. As we start this year with heavy hearts and prayers of comfort for these two families, we realize we must move forward in a renewed spirit of hope and promise for the many days ahead.

 

Day 1, Wednesday, January 7th, 2015 our First Session of the One Hundred Fourth Legislature convened. I was among 49 State Senators, families, friends, staff and others gathered to participate or witness the traditional swearing in ceremony. Following came the business of the adoption of temporary rules, election of permanent officers, election of a new speaker, oath of officers, election for chairpersons for the committee on committees, executive board, vice-chairperson of the executive board and election of standing committee chairpersons.  Senator Bill Kintner rose to announce he will bring before the Rules Committee a motion to make voting for chairmanships public and not by secret ballot. We were reminded voting for chairmanships has only been by secret ballot since 1976 and public, open ballot prior to that since 1937. I believe in transparency and will support this motion.

 

Following my re-election I announced my bid in late November for the Chairman of Agriculture Committee and knew it was going to be a steep uphill climb as Senator Jerry Johnson, LD 23, announced his bid following session in the Spring of 2014. Although he won by just one vote, I know he is a man of exceptional experience and abilities and be an excellent chairman. Should I have been elected, I would have been the first woman to serve our Unicameral as an Agriculture Chairwoman in its 78 year history. The standing committees I will serve on are the Revenue Committee and Transportation and Telecommunications, on which I will serve as Vice-Chair.

 

Day 2 began with introduction of new bills and adoption of our temporary rules.  The Inaugural Oath of Offices took place in the afternoon, where swearing in took place for many including the Board of Regents, State Board of Education, Public Service Commission, Attorney General-Elect, State Auditor-Elect, State Treasurer, Secretary of State, Lieutenant Governor-Elect, and the Governor-Elect.

 

It was a great pleasure and honor to be named as one of 5 escorts to lead, at that time, Governor-Elect Pete Ricketts to be sworn in as our new governor. Governor Ricketts’ Inaugural Address was outstanding and his vision for leadership is innovative and inspiring.

 

Day 3 was another day of bill introduction with only 10 days that are allowed for new bill introduction. January 21st is the final day of bill introduction. Once our office is fully staffed we will resume introducing our legislation.

 

The Inaugural Gala took place on Saturday, where Lee and I were greeted by many familiar and dear faces from across our District and State. It was a joyful celebration that will be long remembered by many.

 

In our office Tom Venzor is my Legislative Aide and Katie Wattermann as my Administrative Aide.  Tom is from Schuyler and has an extensive background in various legal work.  Katie is from West Point and knows the district like the back of her hand. If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me and my office via email at lbrasch@leg.ne.gov or via phone at 402-471-2728; or stop by Room 1016 if you are at the Capitol.

Conservation Stewardship Program Improvements Needed

January 13, 2015 Leave a comment


By Traci Bruckner, tracib@cfra.org, Center for Rural Affairs

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is seeking public comments on recent changes to the Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP). The program, the most significant leap in conservation policy in a decade, was designed to reward top-notch conservation already on the ground, as well as incentivize the integration of new and innovative conservation systems that protect and enhance the quality of our soil, water and air.

However, without crucial changes, the program will fail to yield those intended results. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) must base producers’ ranking and payments solely on environmental benefits and outcomes. They consistently overemphasize the importance of additional or new conservation activities while failing to adequately support conservation practices and systems farmers and ranchers are currently employing, which misses the mark by supporting late adopters of improved conservation systems over those who have historically placed conservation at the core of their operations.

NRCS must also ensure payment limitations are real. By statute, CSP contracts are limited to $40,000 per fiscal year and $200,000 from fiscal year 2014 through 2018.  But the rule doubles the statutory limit for joint operations. Worse, the rule fails to require that beneficiaries be active farmers, and allows farms to have multiple contracts despite the statutory stipulation that the entire farm must be enrolled in the CSP contract. These loopholes allow certain operations to rack up contracts far in excess of the statutory limit and gives them a competitive advantage over small and mid-sized farmers.

Markets Close

January 12, 2015 Leave a comment


Markets upon close 1/12/15

Mar Corn +1 ¾ @ 4.02

Mar Beans -36 ¼ @ 10.16

 

CORN

 

USDA estimated 2014’s corn production at 14.216 billion bushels, down 191

million bushels from its November estimate. Farmers harvested 83.1 million

acres with a record national average yield of 171 bushels per acre. That’s 2.4

bpa lower than USDA’s November estimate.

 

Corn stocks as of December 1, at 11.2 billion bushels, are 7% higher than

during the same period the year prior, USDA said in its quarterly Grain Stocks

report. Of total stocks, 7.09 bb are stored on farm, up 11% from last year. The

remainder, 4.12 bb, is stored in off-farm locations. Disappearance from

September to November 2014 indicated demand of 4.25 bb, compared to 4.29 bb the

prior year.

 

USDA’s WASDE report put corn ending stocks for the 2014-15 marketing year at

1.877 bb, down 121 mb from USDA’s December estimate of 1.998 bb. After USDA

incorporated the revised production estimate, it trimmed 100 mb from feed and

residual demand and added 25 mb of demand for ethanol and food, seed, and

industrial use. USDA said the extra corn use for ethanol was to offset a

decline in sorghum use for ethanol. The ending stocks-to-use ratio came in at

13.8% compared to 14.6% in December.

 

Globally, USDA pegged ending stocks 189.15 million metric tons, down a

little more than 3 mmt from last month on the decline in U.S. production. USDA

left Brazil, Argentina and China’s corn production forecasts unchanged. USDA

anticipates that China will import 2 mmt of corn, down from 3.28 mmt last year.

 

The global stocks-to-use ration came in at 19.5% compared to 19.8% last

month.

 

SOYBEANS

 

Farmers produced 3.969 billion bushels of soybeans, USDA said in its Annual

Crop Production report. It’s nearly identical with the average pre-report

estimate but slightly higher than the November forecast. USDA said farmers

harvested 83.1 million acres, a record, with a national average yield of 47.8

bpa, which is 0.3 bpa higher than the previous estimate and also a record. USDA

may update the soybean production figure in its September 2015 quarterly stocks

report.

 

There are 2.52 bb in storage, up 17% from a year earlier, according to the

Grain Stocks report. Farmers are holding 1.22 bb on farm, up 28% from the

previous year, while 1.31 bb are stored in off-farm locations. Disappearance

for September through November totaled 1.54 bb, up 14% from the same period a

year earlier.

 

The WASDE report left ending stocks unchanged at 410 mb. USDA incorporated

the slightly larger production estimate, which was offset by a 10 mb increase

in exports and 1 mb increase in residual use. The stocks-to-use ratio was

unchanged at 11.2%.

 

Globally, USDA increased its forecast for soybean ending stocks by 0.91 mmt

to 90.8 mmt. It estimates Brazil’s production at 95.5 mmt, up 1.5 mmt from

December, and Argentina’s production at 55 mmt, unchanged from December. Global

ending stocks-to-use grew to 31.7% from last month’s 31.4%.

Market Grain Report

January 12, 2015 Leave a comment


Today the market has some negativity, funds are long and likely taking some profits prior to the USDA report at 11am.

 

Moving into the report the bulls are looking for opportunity.  We may see harvested acres adjusted downward.  1st quarter demand looks to be strong, but with a record crop year we may see some substantial stocks numbers to offset this.  It will be interesting to see where we land.

 

Strategy would be to enter in an offer, shoot for the sky.  You just never know the volatility this report can bring.  Report info to follow.

Don’t Let it Go!

January 9, 2015 Leave a comment


Don’t let your opportunity to attend the “Frozen” 4-H achievement event go without at least putting up a good snowball fight! This fun and rewarding event is this Sunday, January 11 at the Oakland Auditorium, but we need to hear from you by Friday, January 9 so we have enough pizza! Call the Extension office (374-2929) to let us know how many from your family are planning to attend.

The afternoon will begin at 4:00 p.m. with FROZEN Fun Family Activities! We’ll have a snowman building contest (inside), have “snowball fights” and a multitude of frozen fun activities. At 4:45 we will give out 4-H Member & Leader Awards followed by a 5:30 pizza dinner. Everyone is invited to attend and a list of 4-H members and leaders who will be receiving awards went out with the 4-H newsletter. If you and your family would like to check out the Burt County 4-H program, please plan to attend, we’d love to have you join in on the fun.

 

Burt County 4-H FFA Market Beef Weigh Day

Saturday, January 24 is the date for the Burt County Market Beef weighing. Johnnie Johnson will again host the event in his HEATED barn area on the farm at 1340 County Road E, Craig, NE. Weighing will be done from 8:30-11:00 a.m. DNA sampling will again be done again if you wish to show at State Fair and/or Ak-Sar-Ben. The cost will be $6.00 per sample. Ak-Sar-Ben exhibitors will have the opportunity to show their market animal in a “Breed” class as specified in the premium book. When DNA is being collected this breed information needs to be documented on the DNA envelope. This should go on the line that has “Calving Date” under it. This information is only needed if the exhibitor is interested in showing their animal in a breed class.

If you cannot make the Burt County Weigh Day please call the Extension Office at 402-374-2929 to find alternate dates in other counties.

 

Burt County Fair Foundation Kickoff Event

The Burt County Fair Foundation will again host a Fair Kickoff/Fundraiser Event using the theme “Forever in Blue Jeans.” The event will be Saturday, February 28 and it will be held in the Tekamah Auditorium.

If you’re a budding entrepreneur or an established business this could be a great way to get your business noticed by people across the county.

If you need ideas or you have a larger valued item to donate for the live auction you can contact Burt County Fair Foundation President, Jason Penke at 402-377-1657 or Mary Loftis at the Extension Office at 402-374-2929 for more information or to drop off an item.
