Deadlines approaching to report prevented plant,
failed acres in Furnas and Gosper counties
Furnas and Gosper County
USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA) Executive Director Kelly
Breinig reminds producers that
filing accurate and timely acreage certification reports for all
crops and land uses, including
prevented plant or failed acres,
can prevent the potential loss
of FSA program benefits.
“Excessive moisture and severe storms in the county may
have prevented producers from
planting an intended crop or
may have damaged an existing
crop,” said Breinig. “Producers
should report any crop acres
they intended to plant, but due
to extreme weather, were prevented from planting.” Prevented planting acreage must be reported on FSA
form CCC-576, Notice of Loss
no later than 15 calendar days
after the final planting date,
as established by FSA and
the Risk Management Agency
(RMA).
In Furnas and Gosper
County the final planting date
for corn is May 25, 2016, final
planting date for soybeans is
June 10, 2016, and the final
planting date for grain sorghum
is June 15, 2016.
“In order to comply with FSA
program eligibility requirements, producers are encour-
aged to visit our office to report
their prevented plant or failed
acreage,” said Breinig.
According to Breinig, producers should also use FSA form
CCC-576, Notice of Loss to report failed acres. Failed acres,
except those covered by the
Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), must
be reported to FSA prior to the
disposition or destruction of the
crop. For losses on crops covered by NAP, producers must
file a Notice of Loss within 15
days of the occurrence of the disaster or when losses become
apparent.
If a producer is unable to
report the prevented planting
acres within the 15 calendar
days following the final planting date, a late-filed report can
be submitted. Late-filed reports
will only be accepted if FSA
conducts a farm visit to verify
the eligible disaster condition
that prevented the producer
from planting the crop. A measurement service fee will be
charged.
For questions regarding crop
acreage certification and crop
loss reports, please contact the
Furnas County FSA office at
(308) 268-3055 or the Gosper
County FSA Office at (308) 7853307.
New projections bring higher
outflows from Lake McConaughy
Outflows from Lake McConaughy have increased this
week based on higher projections of inflows from upstream
reservoirs in Wyoming. With
the Wyoming reservoirs nearing full, inflows into Lake McConaughy are expected to peak
around 9,000 cubic feet per
second in the next several days
and are expected to remain
well above normal throughout
the summer.
Outflows from Lake McConaughy will be increased
today, Wednesday, May 25.
As a result, expected flows in
the North Platte River at North
Platte will be about 3,700 cfs by
Friday. During the 2011 flood,
flows in the North Platte River
at North Platte were over 5,000
cfs.
The latest increase in releases from Lake McConaughy will
push the North Platte River at
North Platte to moderate flood
levels by Thursday. According
to the National Weather Service: Moderate flood levels will
cause flooding of low lying and
agricultural land along the north
bank of the North Platte River
from Highway 83 to approximately 4 miles west of Highway
83 south of North River Road.
Water encroachment into some
residences and property begins
along and south of North River
Road. There will be water encroachment into low lying areas
of Cody Park.
Lake McConaughy’s elevation has risen with the increasing inflows to 3261.1 feet above
sea level or 93 percent capacity. Releases continue to be
less than inflows as Central
tries to operate the reservoir
in a manner that reduces peak
flows downstream as much as
possible. Central staff predicts
Lake McConaughy to be at 100
percent capacity by mid-June.
Central continues to communicate with officials from the
city of North Platte, the National
Weather Service, the Lincoln
County Emergency Management Agency, and other entities about the situation and how
best to deal with the expected
high flows.
Warm and sunny weather
means lots of Nebraskans
will be spending quality time
outdoors over Memorial Day
weekend which puts people at
greater risk for tick and mosquito bites.
“Ticks and mosquitos can carry
diseases that make people
sick,” said Dr. Tom Safranek,
State Epidemiologist for the
Nebraska Department of
Health and Human Services.
“Remember to take simple
steps like using bug spray
to help protect you and your
family.”
Other preventive tips include:
•Dress in long-sleeved shirts,
pants and socks when you’re
outside.
•Drain standing water around
your home. Standing water and
warmth breed mosquitoes.
•Do frequent tick checks after being outdoors and remove
attached ticks promptly with
fine-tipped tweezers.
Ticks can cause ehrlichiosis,
Rocky Mountain spotted fever,
tularemia and Lyme disease. Symptoms of tick- and
mosquito-related illnesses can
be similar - fever, rash, body
aches and pains. Tick-related
illnesses can be serious. Mosquitos can transmit West
Nile virus and other diseases
to people. Last year, there
were 68 human cases of West
Nile virus and two deaths.
Most people who are
infected with West Nile virus
will have no symptoms or only
mild flu-like symptoms. Some
people will develop a fever with
other symptoms like headache,
body aches, vomiting, fatigue
and weakness. Less than one
percent of people will develop
a serious illness like encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation
of the brain and surrounding
tissues). People over 50 and
those with weakened immune systems are especially
vulnerable to the disease and
are more likely to experience
serious consequences.

Growing overseas trade
Hughes Views
•Senator Dan Hughes, District 44
By Governor Pete Ricketts
With over 95 percent of the world’s population
living outside the borders of the United States,
growing overseas trade is one of the best ways we
can grow Nebraska. Last year, I led two overseas trade missions—one to the European Union
and one to Asia, including Japan and China—to
reach potential customers for Nebraska’s exports.
These were successful missions which helped to strengthen trade
relationships with several countries. Companies we met with
during those trips have announced new projects, and are growing
their investment in Nebraska.
To continue to build on our relationships, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) and the Nebraska
Department of Agriculture (NDA) announced a few days ago that
we would be leading a trade mission to China this fall. From
November 9th through the 15th, we will meet with investors and
host events in Xi’an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong to strengthen
Nebraska’s relationships with our state’s fourth largest trading
partner.
DED and NDA worked with me to build the itinerary for the fall
trade mission. During the trip, my agencies and trade mission
members will join me in participating in the 23rd China Yangling
Agricultural Hi-Tech Fair while in Yangling. Yangling is located
in Shaanxi Province just outside the city of Xi’an. The fair offers
roughly 1.7 million square feet of exhibition space and is expected to draw 1.6 million visitors over five days, making it China’s
premier agricultural fair.
Shanghai is one of the world’s largest metropolitan areas with a
population of 24 million. It is also a leading international business
center, consumer market, and key entry port into China. That’s
why Nebraska established a trade office in Shanghai in 2013 to
help our businesses make key connections and work with Chinese companies seeking opportunities in the U.S. and globally.
The trade office will play a pivotal part with planning and facilitating the trade delegation’s visit.
Our final stop on the trade mission will be Hong Kong, one
of the largest importers of Nebraska beef and a key market for
other Nebraska products. The city also is an important gateway
for business throughout East Asia. In 2015, Hong Kong by itself
was Nebraska’s sixth largest export market, accounting for $234
million in goods purchased from our state with approximately 80
percent being exported food products. Since beef is Nebraska’s
number one commodity, this visit to Hong Kong is a great opportunity to build on our success in this market.
China’s growing economy offers nearly boundless opportunities
for Nebraska ag producers, manufacturers, and other businesses.
This trade mission will help Nebraska businesses build on our
existing relationships. It will also give us an opportunity to advocate for expanding and opening up new markets. While Hong
Kong imports Nebraska beef, China still prohibits the purchase of
beef products from the United States. On this trip, I will continue
to advocate for reopening the beef trade between China and the
United States, so Nebraska’s ranchers and beef industry have
even more opportunities to market and sell their beef products.
Nebraska businesses and ag producers who do business
in China, or those that are hoping to enter this market, should
contact DED or NDA to express their interest in joining the
trade mission. Space is limited. Company officials interested in
participating in the trade mission should contact Cobus Block at
402-480-5806 or [email protected] or Stan Garbacz at
402-471-2341 or [email protected] to express their
interest soon.

Term limits, partisan governor changing the face of Nebraska Legislature
Capitol View
By J.L. Schmidt
Statehouse Correspondent
The Nebraska Press
Association
There was a time when the
prospects of at least 12 new
faces in the Nebraska Legislature wasn’t a bad thing. There
were still enough seasoned veterans in the body to explain the
art and nuance of lawmaking to
the greenest of freshmen.
That has changed because of
term limits and a partisan governor who is calling out the names
of Republican (his party) senators in the officially non-partisan
legislature for failing to support
his legislative agenda. Governor
Pete Ricketts is even supporting
a challenger in one of the races against 11 incumbents who
have four years of experience.
That incumbent, Les Seiler of
Hastings, is chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
At least five of those incumbents finished behind their challengers in the recent primary.
While it’s too early to sound the
alarm, if those five are replaced
by newbies, that’s 17 of 49 senators – one-third of the body -who face a straight-up learning
curve. It takes a while to find
the bathrooms in the marvelously historic state Capitol. It’s
an even bigger task to learn to
read and resist the lobby, dodge
the scrutinizing eye of the governor and his minions and pay
attention to the constituents –
the folks who brought you to the
dance.
By the numbers: Ernie Chambers, clearly the senior statesman of the whole bunch, has 41
years of experience. He’s likely
to return for his second fouryear term after sitting out the
mandatory one term required
by the term limits law, which
was designed to get rid of him.
The next closest is Omaha
Senator Bob Krist, Chairman
of the Legislature’s Executive
Committee, who comes in second in seniority with a whopping
7 years of experience. Next up
are five senators with 6 years
under their belts. They include
Business and Labor Chair
Burke Harr of Omaha; General
Affairs Chair Tyson Larson of
O’Neill; Transportation Chair
Jim Smith of Papillion; Lydia
Brasch of Bancroft and Paul
Schumacher of Columbus.
That leaves the next seniority
level at 11 senators who have
4 years of experience. Senator Tommy Garrett of Bellevue
has 3 years. Eighteen senators
have 2 years of experience and,
at least 12 will have no experience. That depends on which of
the 11 incumbents stumble.
Veteran lawmaker Jeremy
Nordquist of Omaha, a Democrat in the officially non-partisan
legislature who represents a
heavily Democrat and Hispanic
area of the city, left the Unicameral last year to go to work

Volume 110 • Number 49
for U.S. Representative Brad
Ashford of Omaha. Ricketts appointed Nicole Fox, a Republican, to replace him. She came
in third in the primary and won’t
be coming back.
Left in that race in Omaha’s
District 7 are John Synowiecki
and Tony Vargas. Synowiecki
served 6 years in the Legislature a few years ago and is a
Democrat. Vargas is Hispanic
and a member of the Omaha
Public School Board. This single legislative race is enough to
give one hope that representative government still exists.
Troubled incumbents who finished second to newcomers include: Seiler who finished 1,926
votes behind his challenger; Al
Davis of Hyannis who finished
808 votes back; Jerry Johnson
of Wahoo, Agriculture Committee Chairman who finished 595
votes behind his challenger and
Rick Kolowski of Omaha who
garnered 481 fewer votes than
his challenger. The fifth, Fox,
finished in third place behind
her two challengers and is out
of the race.
New faces coming for sure.
Whether it means fresh ideas
or fresh meat for the governor
and the lobby, that’s a matter
of perspective. Let’s just hope
that the Nebraska Legislature
doesn’t become embroiled in
the same partisan divisiveness
that has hamstrung Washington.
The Legislature
will
not
convene again until
January, but that
doesn’t mean that
work for the people of Nebraska
is not being done. One hundred
and eleven interim studies were
introduced on a wide variety of
issues. Some of these studies
will help the Legislature to understand how to best address
topics by understanding the issue in depth, and learning how
other states have succeeded
or failed in similar endeavors.
These studies may also help
the Legislature avoid repeating
the mistakes of other states,
thereby avoiding unnecessary
debate and legislation. I’ll list
several interim studies which
may be of interest to the 44th
District.
LR 439 will examine the use of
tax-increment financing, or TIF
by municipalities for residential
development. I wrote in an earlier column about my work last
session to place reforms on TIF,
as it is sometimes stretched in
its application. However, housing shortages can lead to substantial workforce issues, especially for smaller communities,
and I worked last session to
make sure some municipalities
have access to 840 funds to
develop workforce housing, but
perhaps even more tools could
be investigated. I am interested
to see what this study finds.
LR 511 will examine remote
sales tax collection, which includes taxes on internet and
catalog purchases, among others. There has been much discussion of this, and this study
will hopefully allow the legislature to make a considered and
well-informed decision on remote sales tax in 2017. Three
interim studies will be of interest
to those who, like me, are concerned with the ever-increasing
burden which ag land taxes
place on the keystone of our
state’s economy. LR 555 will
study appeals before the Tax
Equalization and Review Commission; LR 604 will examine
inconsistencies in determining
ag land values; and LR 600 will
explore alternatives in how ag
land value is determined.
LR 498 will examine the Nebraska Right to Farm Act. Information from this study will
be useful to the state moving
forward in protecting the rights
of our farmers, ranchers, and
all private property owners, as
well as helping if another move
is taken toward introducing a
Right to Farm Amendment to
the Nebraska Constitution, as
was attempted last year.
For those of you who have visited my office in Lincoln, or plan
to do so in the future, it has
moved within the State Capitol
Building. We are now in room
1306 on the East side of the
building.
I always enjoy hearing from
the Nebraskans I represent.
Please feel free to contact my
office with any questions or
concerns that you might have.

600 mile tour Nebraska driving event
The 24th annual Nebraska
Rod and Custom Association
(NRCA) 600 mile Tour Nebraska driving event will be held on
June 4th and June 15th in your
area . This is a road TOUR of
classic, antique and special
interest vehicles. This unique
driving event will draw considerable local interest. The Tour
route this year will go through
or near 30 towns and villages
including some within your coverage area. There are many car
shows and car events during
the summer season, however
there is no other event like Tour
Nebraska. The Tour Nebraska
route changes every year as
we showcase the special attractions of Nebraska to our
members while bringing a classic car show to all parts of the
State.
There are morning and
noon stops along the way but
otherwise a lawn chair along
side of the road or the tail gate
of a pick up will give an excellent view of the Tour vehicles in
action. You can hear the sound
of the vehicles coming 5 miles
away, and, it will take more than
20 minutes for the Tour to go
by. Over 380 vehicles are expected to participate this year
in what becomes a “traveling
parade” of 15 miles or more.
With drivers and passengers
over 700 people will participate.
Pre-tour arrangements have
been made at scheduled stops
and as much as possible we
utilize local law enforcement to
help prevent congestion. The
estimated value of the vehicles
our members will be driving is
$7.6 million. From our first Tour
in 1993 we have decorated our
vehicles with small American
flags –patriotism is still very
much alive with our members.
Our previous tours have covered over 13,000 miles of roads
in Nebraska promoting not only
our association but also the
many wonders of Nebraska to
our members
The goal of the 1,750 members of the Nebraska Rod and
Custom Association is to protect the rights of special interest vehicle owners who enjoy
driving them on the streets and
highways of Nebraska. This is
a goodwill Tour and our members look forward to meeting
the people who enjoy vintage
automobiles.
Participants/members come
from all over Nebraska and
some from surrounding states.
They come for this unique
weekend and for the warm welcome they get from those who
appreciate the show we bring to
their town. We would appreciate any promotional assistance
you can provide.
We have posted our complete press release on our web
site—nrca.wildapricot.org in a
PDF format so you can easily
print it off. That includes an itinerary for each day showing the
times we will be near each community. Also you will find a map
showing our actual route for
each day. We would welcome
the opportunity to provide interviews or assist in any way that
would help you to promote our
event to your audience. Please

PUBLIC
NOTICE
Without public notices in
the newspaper, you’re left guessing.
Public notice is your right to
know about the issues that
directly affect your life.
And, you can easily find
public notices in your local
newspaper. Without public
notices in the newspaper,
you’re left to guess about
what the government is doing in your community and how elected
officials are spending your tax dollars.
Your local newspaper fulfills an essential role in serving your right to
know. After all, it shouldn’t be your responsibility to know how to
look ... where to look ... when to look ... and even what to look for in
order to be informed about public information. It is the
government’s responsibility to notify you of public information, and
your local newspaper is the most accessible place to find it.

Jump! Leap! Hop!
hee!
Almost every animal
jumps, leaps, springs or
hops. Animals jump to
move to somewhere, to
get out of danger, to catch
food or to show off for
others.
