If we don't get the state's tax structure fixed, all the things I will be working for on the federal level, such as the creation of a Rural Venture Capital Fund, will not bring new business to the state.
banker crops farmers goes grow insurance wanting
Right now, farmers are being penalized for wanting to grow chicory and other crops because there isn't insurance on non-traditional crops. If the farmer goes to the bank, even the banker won't back the idea.

I was concerned about the largest industry in Nebraska, which is agriculture. I have a strong ag background and a lot of business experience. We (as part of Osborne's staff) used our resources to create jobs. I look forward to trying to keep it going.
closely coming continue costs driving higher increased increasing manage margins offset operating outlook percent perform previous price range sales therefore year
We continue to perform very well in controlling costs and driving operating improvements. Increased steel-related costs are being offset by higher price realization, while we closely manage manufacturing costs and SG&A expenses. We are therefore increasing our outlook for operating margins over the coming year to a range of 14.6 to 15.5 percent of sales from the previous outlook averaging 13.3 percent.

We can probably get by without the two officers if everything stays the same.
corn district guy highest largest number people per stop third
We have to stop out-migration in Nebraska, and we have to do it with agriculture. The Third District is the largest agricultural district in the U.S. It's No. 1 in cattle, in corn and has the highest per capita number of people working in agriculture. I am the only agriculture guy in the race.

approved assuming believe board capacity car centers chain coming completed critical excellence expansion fiscal imperative increased internal joy limits line mining months motor next progress project range rather shuttle strive supply support total until
The capacity expansion project for P&H Mining which was approved by our board in May will not be completed until the end of fiscal 2006. The only other new capacity that will be coming on line in the next 12 months is the shuttle car and motor centers of excellence for Joy Mining in Lebanon, Kentucky, though, for the most part, Joy Mining is constrained by supply chain limits rather than internal capacity. Therefore, it is imperative that our critical suppliers support us as we strive for increased revenues. Assuming that progress can be made in this area, we now believe that total revenues in the coming 12 months will be in the range of $2.15 to $2.35 billion.
