Crop damage
Continued from Page 1
"I was only seven or eight years old
and I can remember waking up and
looking out the window. All I saw on
the ground were drifts of red dust that
had blown up from Oklahoma," he
said.
Lemke said he also grows soybeans,
wheat, milo and alfalfa.- He said his
soybean production will be down this
year and his milo production will be
half the amount it was iast year. But
Lemke said his participation in the
payment-in-kind program and a good
wheat yield will offset the financial loss
from his crop damage.
Lemke said a good yield for all of his
crops might net around 80 to 90
bushels per acre but he said he expects
only 30 bushels this year.
Tor the past three years my crop
production has been going down, and
financially, things have been a litte
tough " he said. The high cost of oper
ation is getting to me."
Most of Lem ike's concern stems from
the severe shortage of topsoil and sub
soil moisture in his fields. Bill Dobbs,
statistician for the Nebraska Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service, said top
soil moisture in Nebraska was rated as
10 percent short and subsoil moisture
was 71 percent short.
Dobbs said the dryland corn in sou
theastern Nebraska looks bad, but
added that the state as a whole will
come out fairly well.
"The good crop productions in nor
theast Nebraska will offset the crop
loss figures in the southeast part of the
state," he said.
"There are some (wheat) farmers
reporting a total corn crop loss," Dobbs
said, "but the good wheat yields are
making up for the below-average
yields overall."
The condition of combined dryland
and irrigat ed corn in Nebraska before
last week's rains was rated as 13 per
cent, poor; 25 percent, fair; 61 percent,
good' and 1 percent, excellent.
Dobbs said nearly 40 percent of the
dryland crop was rated in poor condi
tion, while three-fourths of the irri
gated crop rated good. All of
sout heastern Nebraska's dryland corn
was listed in poor condition.
"The rain will give the corn a
breather, but the main help will be for
the soybeans and sorghum," he said.
Sorghum conditions in the state
were rated as 38 percent, poor; 46 per
cent, fair; and 16 percent, good. The
state's soybeans were rated as 19 per
cent, poor; 59 percent, fair; 21 percent,
good; and 1 percent, excellent, Dobbs
said.
Dobbs said soybeans can still make a
fairly good harvest if sufficient rain
falls in the next few weeks.
"More rain is definitely needed," said
Dobbs. "Those soybean fields which
received two inches of rain in the last
10 days will need about two more
inches in the next two to three weeks."
