Adams Land and Cattle wins national Beef Quality Assurance Award

The beef industry may be strong on tradition, but Adams Land and Cattle recognizes that success today and in the future depends on progress.
Adams’s commitment to improving their business and the industry, as well as communicating with consumers about that standard, is part of why they were named the 2024 National Beef Quality Assurance Feedyard of the Year, according to Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance Director Jesse Fulton.
“The Nebraska BQA program considers Adams a progressive, outstanding member of Nebraska’s beef industry, and a leading advocate for the beef industry as a whole,” Fulton said.
Adams has been in the beef business in Nebraska since the 1950s when Russ and Angenette Adams bought 320 acres near Broken Bow to raise cattle and their family. The business has expanded to a 125,000 finishing capacity feedyard, but it’s still owned and operated by the Adams family.
“At Adams, our mission is feeding the world high-quality, safe and sustainable beef,” said Abram Babcock, president of Adams Land and Cattle. “The principles of BQA align perfectly with what we strive for every day within our company, from every single employee being BQA certified on day one of employment, to our continuous improvement and best practices, to the identification and verification of every single animal that leaves our lots. We are honored by this award and are incredibly proud of our employees for their hard work and dedication to consumers.”

HISTORY OF INNOVATION
Innovation has been a major theme for Adams Land and Cattle, Fulton said. In the 1990s they were early adopters of individual animal management technology, which allows individual animals to be traced through the feedlot, ensuring accurate, complete health records. They also created an IT system, Revoro, which enables them to collect data on individual animals and make data-based management decisions. Adams has used electronic ID readers since 2010, and has patented a sorting technology that uses artificial intelligence to optimize animal endpoints.
Adams has also consistently focused on reducing stress for the animals in their care. That includes a trolley system that automates the sorting process, and a mobile vet hospital which takes health treatments to sick animals, allowing them to stay in a familiar location, with familiar pen-mates, rather than requiring sick animals to be brought to a “sick pen.”
Adams’ commitment to animal welfare starts with every employee, from accountants to pen riders, being BQA certified as part of their employment orientation. The company has adopted and enhanced the standard BQA practices and combined it with Tyson’s FarmCheck program to create their own program called Adams Quality Assurance.

FOCUS ON CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
Adams works to build consumer confidence by participating in value-added programs like non-hormone treated cattle, Global Animal Partnership, Verified Natural, BeefCARE and most recently, Brazen Beef. These programs provide additional value for beef producers by meeting consumer demands for animal care, hormone treatments and environmental standards, Fulton said. The Adams system for electronically identifying and verifying animals makes it simple to track which animals qualify for which programs when it’s time to market them.
While Adams Land and Cattle has a history in the beef industry, they recognize the work necessary to provide for the future as well. Through social media, partnerships with Nebraska Ag in the Classroom, a scholarship program, and participation in programs like the Timmerman Feedlot Internship program through University of Nebraska-Lincoln, they educate and support kids in Nebraska, working toward positive relationships with future consumers and employees. Adams sponsors field trips to the feedyard, provides compost to local gardeners, and hosts Youth Animal Quality Assurance Training, which is required for 4-H members in animal projects. 
By feeding Nebraska corn to Nebraska cattle, Adams supports area farmers, buying 14 million bushels of corn annually, which means about 16,000 semi-loads of corn stay local.  
Through their voluntary participation in consumer-driven programs, their own commitment to animal care and handling standards, and the transparency they offer anyone who wants to know how Adams produces cattle, Adams Land and Cattle builds consumer trust in the beef industry, Fulton said. 
The National Beef Quality Assurance Awards recognize outstanding members of the beef industry in five categories: Cow-Calf, Feedyard, Dairy, Marketer and Educator. The National BQA Awards are selected by a committee of BQA-certified representatives from universities, state beef councils, sponsors and affiliated groups. Nominations are submitted by organizations, groups or individuals on behalf of a U.S. beef producer, dairy beef producer, marketer or educator.

Nebraska’s Power Genetics wins national Beef Quality Assurance award

In the 1980s, Jason Anderson realized that in the cattle business, his options were to get better or get out.  

Anderson, president and founder of Power Genetics, chose to get better. As the winner of the 2024 National Beef Quality Assurance Marketer of the Year award, the industry agrees the company, based in Arapahoe, Neb., has succeeded.

“I’m honored and humbled to be part of the BQA program,” Jason said. “It just keeps helping us manage our cattle better and be an advocate for the beef industry in terms of quality assurance.”

Jason and his brother J.D. picked up the reins in the business when cattle prices were low, interest rates were high, and everyone was just trying to survive. J.D. started selling seedstock bulls after graduating college. He branded his business Powerline Genetics. 

“We wanted to find an endpoint marketing tool and a value-added grid,” Jason said. “The rancher would be our customer buying bulls, and we’d be their customer buying their calves back.”

THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

Power Genetics was created in 1991 and organized independent feedyards into a verified beef supply chain for commercial markets. The majority of the cattle that go through the program are sired by Powerline Genetics, and all 32 member feedyards are managed independently, but to the same criteria of animal handling and welfare. Consumer preference and perception is the ultimate guide for their practices.

This business model provides proven quality genetics to their feedyards, and it gives Powerline Genetics the data they need to continue to improve their seedstock genetics and produce high-quality beef. 

The Beef Quality Assurance program has provided a framework for a consistent training program for proper animal handling and treatment techniques, and a standard of evaluation across all the member feedyards, and all employees of those feedyards must be BQA certified. While BQA certification is becoming expected in the beef industry, Power Genetics has taken it a step further, also requiring an independent audit of all participating feedyards to make sure the principles are being applied, not just learned. 

“The BQA certification process is a great tool,” Jason said. “The audit tool puts teeth to the program.”

Power Genetics also requires that anyone who hauls cattle for them is BQA Transportation certified. That reduces stress at loading and unloading, which makes the processing smoother, with better yields and less bruising.

“The whole system is just better because we are all on the same standard operating procedure,” Jason said.

The program has improved the employee training process, which has resulted in more positive, consistent and effective cattle handling, and improved employee safety, Jason said.

“All our employees, especially the younger generation, know only low-stress cattle handling and proper injection sites and how to properly store products and when to change needles. That’s because of BQA. My sons in the business don’t know how we used to do it, which we thought was right, but we didn’t know any better. Everything we do is to create a better eating experience for the consumer.”

That standard operating procedure was developed with the help of consulting veterinarians and Jesse Fulton, director of the Nebraska BQA program.

“I felt Power Genetics was deserving of this award because of their belief to go above and beyond what is required,” Fulton said. “When developing their feedyard management program best management practices, they developed protocols and record-keeping templates that either meet or exceed BQA guidelines while fulfilling the needs of the company and member feedyards. They also offer continuing education opportunities for member yards to participate. These opportunities are generally veterinarian-led and cover a variety of animal health and low-stress animal handling topics.”  

FOCUS ON CONSUMERS

While Powerline Genetics works to help cow-calf producers improve genetics, and Power Genetics works to improve quality and profitability for their member feedyards, the whole system is designed for one purpose — to produce wholesome, quality beef that consumers feel good about eating.

Dr. Shane Terrell, veterinarian and research coordinator for Production Animal Consultation, has worked with Power Genetics and many of their member feedyards as a consulting veterinarian for the last six years. “Jason and Power Genetics are always looking to be the industry leaders, being on the forefront and thinking about the consumer and animal with every decision they make,” Terrell said. “That makes them overwhelmingly deserving of this award.”

Being able to point to the BQA certification and audit process, and marketing only cattle produced to that standard of animal handling and welfare eases conversations with consumers who may have the wrong idea about cattle production. 

“We can stand behind how we manage the cattle,” Jason said. “When you’re producing beef to the best of your ability and the right way, it’s fun to talk about what you do.”

The National Beef Quality Assurance Awards recognize outstanding members of the beef industry in five categories: Cow-Calf, Feedyard, Dairy, Marketer, and Educator. The National BQA Awards are selected by a committee of BQA certified representatives from universities, state beef councils, sponsors and affiliated groups. Nominations are submitted by organizations, groups or individuals on behalf of a U.S. beef producer, dairy beef producer, marketer or educator.

The awards were presented at the Cattle Industry Convention in Orlando in early February.

Dryland cropping system to be focus of upcoming Nebraska Soil Health School

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will host a Nebraska Soil Health School, sponsored by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, on Wednesday, April 24, at UNL’s High Plains Ag Lab, 3257 Rd. 109, Sidney. Registration and refreshments will begin at 7:30 a.m., followed by a welcome from the event’s organizer, Bijesh Maharjan, UNL associate professor.

Following last year’s successful Soil Health School events across the state, this year, we plan to organize events specific to issues facing our growers in a given area, Maharjan said. The Nebraska Soil Health Schools are designed to build upon soil-related knowledge and practices for growers, crop consultants, ag professionals and others. The HPAL event will focus on soil health topics in relation to dryland cropping systems with the following presentations:

  • Soil Health – Byproduct of improved soil and crop management practices: Gary Peterson, CSU professor emeritus
  • Impact of tillage, biochar and cover crops on soils at the High Plains Ag Lab: Cody Creech, UNL associate professor and Fenster Professor of Dryland Agriculture
  • Soil health measurement and carbon market: Bijesh Maharjan with Jessica Groskopf, UNL extension educator economics
  • Impacts of tillage systems, crop residues and cover crops on soil water and yield in semi-arid dryland systems: David Nielsen, retired USDA Agricultural Research Service research agronomist.
  • NRCS soil health demonstrations and live rainfall simulator: Carlos Villarreal, USDA-NRCS state soil scientist and Riley Hackbart, soil scientist, USDA-NRCS
  • High Plains Ag Lab research plot tours

We are fortunate to have two prominent keynote speakers at this event. Nielsen and Peterson dedicated their careers to finding management solutions to address dryland cropping issues. They are well known among farmers, crop consultants and scientists throughout the Great Plains and other semi-arid regions of the world for their work on improving cropping system water use efficiency and profitability while protecting the soil resource.

“It is important for agricultural producers to understand the relationship between yield and available soil water at planting (AWP), and how to increase AWP with no-till management practices,” Nielsen commented. “This knowledge can aid in designing profitable crop rotations that are more intensive, lower fallow frequency than the wheat-fallow system.”

To attend the event, pre-register at https://unlcba.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3lr2CyTPO8AkWIC.

There is no fee to attend, and a full lunch will be provided. Certified crop adviser Continuing Education Units will be offered.

‘Manure Better’ workshop focuses on correct application and its impact

Tootsie rolls, a 5-gallon bucket, and a plastic drop cloth were all part of the hands-on training at the Nebraska Extension workshop “Manure Better” with land application training on Feb. 19 at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center in Scottsbluff.

“What we teach hasn’t changed,” said Leslie Johnson, Nebraska Extension animal manure management coordinator and educator. “How we teach it has changed. Previously, it was just research. Now, it lets us look at this field and how it works for this operation and then tailor it down to the operation.” The students used the previously mentioned bucket and tootsie rolls to weigh and calibrate the manure without the mess of natural manure. 

The focus is turning manure nutrients into better crop yields while protecting the environment. To do this, participants have multiple hands-on activities, from calculating and calibrating manure applications to looking at the nutrients and crop needs. “Weighing manure using calibration or verification, as I’m beginning to think of it. When applying the manure, we can’t make adjustments on the fly, but can make a change later with our commercial application,” Johnson said.

The whole purpose is to spread manure on land in an agronomic manner so we can protect water quality. Produce the best crop we can and do it in a manner to protect the environment. If the producer doesn’t know how much manure or nutrients they have actually applied to the land. The crops could be deficient in nutrients, which could mean yield loss. Too many nutrients and the risk is contamination of water or the environment.

Nebraska 4-H accepting nominations for annual volunteer recognition awards

LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska 4-H is now accepting nominations for a new awards program to recognize the outstanding contributions of 4-H volunteers across the state.

The Nebraska 4-H Volunteer Recognition Awards honors adult and youth volunteers and multi-generational families, who have provided meaningful contributions to Nebraska 4-H. One Outstanding Adult Volunteer Award and One Emerging Adult Volunteer Award winner will be chosen for each of the state’s 10 Nebraska Extension Engagement zones. One statewide winner will be named in the each of the youth volunteer and multi-generational family categories. 

“Our 4-H volunteers go above and beyond to serve Nebraska’s youth every year,” said Jill Goedeken, 4-H Youth Development Extension educator. “We are looking forward to another opportunity to recognize 4-H volunteers for their contributions to youth in Nebraska.”

The nomination period runs through March 15, 2024. Nominations can be submitted by any 4-H member, family, supporter or Extension staff member. Nominees must fit the award categories and can be a volunteer for any Nebraska 4-H experience. Some examples may include 4-H club leader, project leader, junior leader, county or State Fair volunteer, special interest volunteer (such as robotics or shooting sports), afterschool club volunteer or 4-H camp volunteer.

Winners will be announced virtually in April 2024. A special awards presentation will take place at the 2024 Nebraska State Fair.

Bean Day brings pertinent information to growers

The 2024 Nebraska Dry Bean Day was held on Feb. 13, with a variety of speakers and a research panel discussion at the Gering Civic Center.

“We had a representative from the Nebraska Department of Ag (Hilary Maricle, deputy director), ‘A Legume a Day,’ a bean blogger, and Bill Boyer (KNEB weather), a weather representative,” said Dan Hinman, Nebraska Dry Bean Growers Association president. Maricle discussed the trade trips the department has made. She also discussed where the department is looking to expand the export market worldwide.

With planting season approaching, Hinman said, “We’re looking at what the weather’s going to be, what kind of patterns we can expect.”  Bill Boyer, market manager/weather analyst, KNEB/Nebraska Rural Radio, gave a “2024 Weather Outlook.” He said La Nina looks to return this year, but when exactly in the spring it will hit and for how long it will last are still unknown variables. Boyer also noted the North Platte River Basin snowpack looks to be in good shape. 

While the Wyoming Bureau of Reclamation didn’t attend the meeting, it is beginning to release its monthly snowmelt forecasts for the North Platte River Basin. “It’s a little early, but we have good storage in the reservoirs, and we don’t see an allocation this year,” said George Finnegan, Wyoming Bureau of Reclamation civil engineer. While the recent snowfalls have helped, Finnegan said they still have less than average snowpack. 

The growers heard from Chelsea Didinger, a blogger for “A Legume A Day” and a recent Ph.D. graduate from Colorado State University. She discussed her bean outreach project, recipes and what consumers seek when planning meals. 

The NDBGA also held its bean donation, where vendors and growers bring in dry beans or canned beans. “We pick an organization in the valley, and this year, we’re donating to the Scottsbluff Soup Kitchen Board. We thank all the growers for supporting it. It’s been a really good thing we do for the community.”

Gov. Pillen and university leaders announce food animal veterinary scholarship program

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen has announced a new scholarship program for Nebraska students aimed at growing the number of veterinarians serving livestock producers across the state. The Nebraska Elite 11 Veterinarian Program provides financial support to Nebraska students pursuing degrees in animal science or veterinary science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Today, is the first day that applications are being accepted for the first cohort of students. 

“The need for production animal veterinarians is undeniable. It’s an issue for Nebraska and other state’s as well,” said Gov. Pillen. “Through this collaboration with UNL, Nebraska will be a leader in boosting the number of graduates in this field.”

UNL Chancellor Rodney Bennett voiced strong support for the program, which he said will help the university meet two key goals.

“The Nebraska Elite 11 Veterinarian Program aligns with two key aims of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln — first, to attract, retain, and graduate Nebraska’s best and brightest students; and second, to contribute to resolving pressing issues within the state of Nebraska,” said Bennett. “The University appreciates Gov. Pillen’s leadership and the state’s support of this program that will impact not only UNL but all Nebraskans who benefit from veterinary services.”

Nebraska’s livestock industry contributes more than $6 billion annually to the state’s economy — an impact that is especially significant in rural counties and communities. Veterinarians play a critical role in keeping livestock healthy, improving herd health, and responding to disease and public health issues, among many other services, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Access to high-quality veterinary care improves profitability for livestock producers and contributes to peace of mind for producers when their animals need care.

But Nebraska and other states across the country are facing a steep shortage of food animal veterinarians. One reason for this is the cost of veterinary training, according to the USDA. The Elite 11 Program removes the barrier of cost for Nebraska students interested in food animal veterinary medicine.

BENEFIT AND HINDRANCE

Dr. Larry Marshall has been a vet in Bertrand for nearly 40 years. He says students tend to return to their home communities to practice, which is both a benefit and a hindrance when it comes to recruiting food animal veterinarians, especially if that hometown is in another state. 

“The point is that my plight in trying to find an associate is shared up and down areas of rural Nebraska with other veterinarians. This is a plan that I think is going to get to the root of the problem and it’s going to help solve that problem,” shared Marshall. “Our goal is to find, cultivate, educate, mentor and lead these students down a path that will let them be successful food animal veterinarians in rural Nebraska.”

Up to 25 first-time freshmen will receive the Nebraska Aspiring Animal Production Veterinarians Program Scholarship, which covers 50% of their tuition for the first two years of their study in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

After the second year, up to 13 of the original 25 scholarship recipients will be awarded a continuation scholarship, which covers 100% of tuition for their third and fourth years of study at UNL. Ultimately, 11 students will be selected as part of the Elite 11. Those students will receive 100% of tuition and fees for UNL’s professional program in veterinary medicine, in which students complete the first two years of veterinary school at UNL, followed by two more years of schooling at the Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine. Students selected into the program will also receive mentoring and professional development throughout their studies.

“This program presents an incredible opportunity for Nebraska high school students who are passionate about agriculture and animal care to pursue careers in veterinary medicine without the burden of student loan debt,” said Tiffany Heng-Moss, dean of UNL’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. “This is an important program that will have a big impact on our state, our agriculture industry, and on the students who take part in it. I’m grateful to Gov. Pillen and the state of Nebraska for making this possible.”

“Based on my own experience, I know how academically demanding it is to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine. It’s becoming even harder to find students who are interested in large animal care,” said Gov. Pillen. “This program aims to close that gap and produce experts in the field who can ably work with farmers and ranchers and continue to ensure Nebraska’s place in providing quality food products across the globe.” 

Graduates of the Elite 11 Program are required to stay in Nebraska and practice as a production-animal veterinarian for eight years. Application instructions for the first cohort of the program are now available at casnr.unl.edu/elite11. Applications will be accepted through April 12. Scholarship recipients will be notified in late May.

“The Elite 11 Program brings together two of the things we are most passionate about at UNL — supporting Nebraska students and fulfilling our land-grant mission,” said Mike Boehm, NU Vice President and Harlan Vice Chancellor for UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “It’s truly a win-win.”

“As a rural senator representing District 44, as well as a cattle producer, I introduced LB1062 to address and support the demand for more rural veterinarians,” said State Sen. Teresa Ibach. “Iowa, Kansas and Missouri all offer incentive programs that work to attract students, and their practicing veterinarian numbers well exceed ours. I am pleased that the governor, the university and the legislature recognize the urgency to meet the needs of our ever-growing agriculture industry. This venture champions and supports students across our state who will serve this vital industry into the future.”

“This is a great example of collaboration between the state and university that will benefit agriculture and all Nebraskans,” said NU Interim President Chris Kabourek. “With the Elite 11 program, we will address important workforce needs while creating more opportunities for our young people to pursue their dreams right here in Nebraska. I’m grateful to Dean Tiffany Heng-Moss for her vision and leadership on this effort, and we thank Governor Pillen for his strong partnership on our shared goals for Nebraska’s growth and competitiveness.”
