RURAL ADVANTAGE/HEALTHY FARMS COFERENCE SET FOR
FEBRUARY 18TH AND 19TH IN COLUMBUS
The 2011 Rural Advantage/Healthy Farms Conference is scheduled for Friday and
Saturday, February 18th and 19th at the New World Inn in Columbus. This year's
conference is shaping up to be an excellent conference as we have some very
interesting and diversified speakers for 2011. Our keynote speakers for the
conference are Chuck Hassebrook, Executive Director of the Center for Rural Affairs
and a member of the Nebraska Board of Regents and Abe Collins, an organic
grass-based dairyman fromVermont and co-founder of the Carbon Farmers of America.
At this year's conference we have programs that address sustainable production agriculture,
livestock grazing systems, value-added agriculture, alternative weed control systems, crop
rotations, cover crops, organic production systems and several youth hands-on workshops.
In production agriculture, there will be a farmer panel addressing grass-fed and natural
grain finished beef production systems. Matt Liebman, researcher from Iowa State
University will discuss "Some ways to improve weed management in low input and organic
systems" and "Managing cropping systems to address challenges from weather, rising
energy costs, and weeds" in two presentations. Kathleen Delete, a researcher in organic
production and a colleague of Matt's at Iowa State University will discuss, " Integrated
approaches to pest management for organic vegetable and fruit production."
Other topics that will be addressed at the conference include: adapting cover crop
management for Nebraska, research on crop rotations and cover crops in sustainable
cropping systems, GAP and what it means to Nebraska vegetable producers, adapting
grazing systems to fit your situation, use of milk as an amendment to grass pastures, high
tunnels for vegetable production, enhancing bird nesting habitat on your farm and farming
sustainably. There will be other programs on specific topics of sustainable agriculture that
are still being scheduled as well.
There is an excellent youth program scheduled for both days. There are workshops on: financial
management for teens, pocket cash for growing small fruits, and a dollars and cents approach
to raising sheep and goats in Nebraska.
There will be commercial and educational exhibits both days, a live auction of a variety of items
Friday afternoon, a delicious All-Nebraska Meal on Friday evening and a silent auction of several
different things on Saturday.

NEWS RELEASE FROM IANR NEWS SERVICE, UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
Farm Food Safety Workshops Offered Across Nebraska in February and March
Food safety workshops offered across the state in February and March will help producers
meet requirements of new federal legislation.
In early January, President Obama signed the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act into law.
The law requires producers to evaluate potential hazards to their products, create measures
to prevent contamination and to develop written food safety plans.
The two-day workshops, offered by University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension, in partnership
with the University of Nebraska Rural Initiative and the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture
Society, will be from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in Lincoln, Grand Island, Auburn and North Platte.
UNL Extension educators will teach the workshops. Workshops will help fresh produce growers
complete the Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) training.
At the end of the workshops, participating producers will understand GAPs and have parts of
their own farm food safety plans developed.
The topics covered will help producers enhance worker sanitation, harvesting, handling, packaging,
storage and transportation standards of fresh produce from the farm operation to markets, schools,
restaurants and retail stores.
By completing a farm food safety plan, producers can differentiate themselves in the marketplace
and appeal to many consumers who perceive this training as an added benefit.
All educational materials and costs of the workshops are provided through a Rural Business
Enterprise Grant from USDA Rural Development that was received by the Nebraska Sustainable
Ag Society in partnership with the University of Nebraska Rural Initiative.
Reservations are required to participate in the training workshops. To register, contact the University
of Nebraska Rural Initiative by e-mailing gaps@unl.edu or calling (402) 472-2940. Online registration
is also available at http://ruralinitiative.nebraska.edu by clicking on the GAPs Training link under
Announcements and following instructions on the page.
Training dates, reservation deadlines and locations include:

On Saturday, February 26 at 6pm the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley will honor its
volunteers and hold their annual business meeting. Actors, ushers, painters, donors and
friends are all invited to participate in this special event. Lofte officers will present Lofte
financials and plans for the future. A complimentary Italian meal and refreshments will be
provided.
The Lofte is a non-profit organization and as such is heavily dependent upon its army of
volunteers. During the course of the evening, those with outstanding service during the
past year will be recognized by the "Dale Crosby Awards." Mr. Crosby was a long-time
chairman of the Lofte Board of Directors. His willingness to tackle any duty at the theater
served as an inspiration to others. Over the many years of his service, he performed,
cleaned and took on administrative tasks. Mr. Crosby passed away in 2001.
Lofte Artistic Director Kevin Colbert will announce upcoming show selections and share
some of the behind the scenes antics that he witnessed during the 2010 season.
Those who are planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling the theater at (402) 234-2553.

Discover the Waters of Nebraska Builds Awareness Early
Discover the Waters of Nebraska, an educational booklet developed by the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln and Project WET for students in grades 4-6, is now available at the
Nebraska Maps and More Store at UNL's School of Natural Resources. This educational
learning tool is being distributed state-wide to 4-H, extension educators, schools, natural
resources districts, scouting offices, and others, with major support from UNL Extension.
Elbert Dickey, UNL Extension dean, said, "Water is essential to Nebraska, and this publication
is designed for young learners as they prepare to be stewards of Nebraska's resources."
Discover the Waters of Nebraska invites readers to spend a day as a Nebraska farmer,
investigate a tornado through the story of a storm researcher, and travel the "Flyway Highway"
as a Sandhill Crane while learning about Nebraska's many water wonders. The colorful, 24-page
activity booklet teaches children seven to 12 years old where water comes from, how we use it,
how to conserve and protect it and the relationships between weather, climate and water-
all in a fun and interactive way.
"The younger they're introduced to these ideas, the more it will get to be part of who that
person is," said Donna Woudenberg, the drought management specialist at the National
Drought Mitigation Center and UNL's School of Natural Resources who coordinated the effort.
Tadd Barrow, a School of Natural Resources Extension educator who focuses on water quality,
said, "This booklet will provide the next generation of policy makers and resource managers a fun,
interactive and creative way to learn about the diverse water resources unique to the state of Nebraska."
Woudenberg and others helped Project WET come up with the ideas for Discover the Waters of
Nebraska, based on input from teachers, environmental educators and others in three meetings
across the state. Other main collaborating organizations were the Lower Platte River Corridor
Alliance and 4-H. Project WET, a non-profit organization based in Bozeman, Mont., promotes
water education state by state and around the world.
Discover the Waters of Nebraska is available free while supplies last from your local Extension
office or from the Nebraska Maps and More Store. The store can ship it for a nominal fee. Please
order copies on-line at http://nebraskamaps.unl.edu/ or stop by the store in the first floor lobby of
Hardin Hall, on the northeast corner of 33rd and Holdrege streets in Lincoln, Neb. Contact the
store at 402-472-7550.

KBC productions announces that the second play in its winter season, "Picasso at the Lapin Agile,"
is now on stage at Mahoney State Park.
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile," is written by Steve Martin. Most famous for his comedic skits and
appearances in many movies and television shows, Mr. Martin wrote the script in 1993. The
comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian café in 1904, just before Einstein
transformed the world of academia with his theory of relativity and before Picasso set the art
world on fire with cubism. This fictional tale sees two geniuses discussing the century's
achievements as well as many other fanciful topics. You will be treated to giggles aplenty and
moments of sheer enlightenment.
Staff suggests a PG13 rating for this show.
