360 Yield Center 272 360 Bandit — The simple, safe solution for banding nitrogen with your planter.

360 Bandit puts bands of liquid nitrogen in the sweet spot for early root interception and uptake.

It streams nitrogen on both sides of the seed, 3 inches away from the seed.

And nitrogen is placed just 3/4-inch below the soil surface — perfect for reducing volatilization and for rapid movement down into the root zone.

The simple application tool mounts to the closing

system where it uses row unit and closing wheel pressure to maintain depth without interfering with gauge wheels or depth settings. A specially-designed, spring-loaded poly tube follows a slot created by a mini-coulter. That assures precise placement.

Yield Profit Challenge 276 Yield Profit Challenge represents Pro Soil Ag, Atlantic Pacific Ag,

Ocean Blue Ag, Kugler Fertilizer, Calcean and Sea 90 product lines.

We focus on higher yield and profit through a complete systems approach that includes nutrient management, overall efficiency soil and plant health, and carbon

sequestration. The Yield Profit Challenge 4 Pass Full Program has shown a 30- to 68-bushel increase in corn the past five years. The starting point of the program is all about below ground management of the soil biology, stimulating the

native bacteria and fungi to reproduce and release more nutrients and build more roots. University trials have shown up to 14,000 pounds more roots and up to 47% more phosphorus released. Mid-season foliars that can take the

place of fungicide are used to not only protect yield, but also add yield through gains in seed size and plant health. Power Pro Nitrogen stabilizer is used during nitrogen applications to keep nitrogen in the root zone in an amino acid form and has

been shown to add a 1.5X multiplier to any nitrogen put down with it and lab testing has shown that it can take ammonia volatilization to zero after 1 minute of adding to tank mix. Stop by and find out what we can do for your program.

Tractor Wars: Power struggle in transition to modern farming

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MOLINE, Ill. — The origin of the farm tractor and the transition from horsepower to power farming is the focus of a new book, “Tractor Wars: John Deere, Henry Ford, International Har-

vester, and the Birth of Modern Agriculture.”

“The story is told through the lens of these three companies,” said Neil Dahlstrom, author of the book and manager of archives and history at John Deere.

“The early tractor story is not what people

think it is,” said Dahlstrom about the book that is now available wherever books are sold.

“My book is based on a lot of information most people have never seen before that comes out of corporate archives,” said Dahlstrom, who has wor-ked for John Deere for

the past 20 years. “It is full of surprises and people that are new or who are reintroduced to people.”

Dahlstrom’s idea to write the book started when the company celebrated the 100th anniversary of the John Deere tractor, which debuted in 1918.

“We started doing research for that in 2016 and I kept picking up things along the way that weren’t relevant to what we were doing that I found interesting,” he recalled. “So, I stashed those away.”

During the early 20th century, Henry Ford was quite interested in farm

tractors.

“The book is built around Ford’s announcement that he was going to build a farm tractor in 1908 and then his first exit from the tractor business in 1928,” Dahlstrom said.

“All these other people try to build tractors and try to figure out how to deal with Henry Ford who doesn’t have any tractors to sell.”

Henry Ford and John Deere had a relationship and the two companies worked together, Dahlstrom said.

“That’s where I spent the first couple of years, learning about Ford and what became his Fordson tractors,” Dahlstrom said. “I kept running into dead ends, and when I run into dead ends that makes me curious, so I kept following leads.”

Dahlstrom spent about five years researching and writing “Tractor Wars.”

“It was probably three years of research before I thought to myself maybe I would turn this into a book of some sort,” he said.

Some people are surprised that the John Deere company was almost 70 years old when the first John Deere tractor was made.

“That’s one of the things that drew me to this story — how to introduce an entirely new machine that’s unfamiliar to most people and then market and support it,” Dahlstrom said.

“Then throw someone like Henry Ford into the mix, who’s got seemingly limitless financial resources and his objectives and approach were entirely different than a company like John Deere or the market leader at the time, International Harvester,” he

said. “It really hoping to acgot my curiosity complish — they going about how all approached an industry goit in an entirely es from five or different ways,” six manufactDahlstrom said. urers to over “Ford was re100, eight years ally impressed later.” w it h John Henry Ford’s Deere plows, so lifelong dream Dahlstrom Deere engineers was to build a started to go farm tractor, Dahlstrom visit Ford and his engisaid. neers to start the devel“He first saw a steam opment of a two-bottom engine on wheels when plow specifically for the he was 12 years old, it Fordson tractor,” he said. captivated him and it was “The two companies something he kept going were seen together so back to,” he said. “Ford’s often that at one point in ambitions, motivations 1919 there was speculaand his approach to busi- tion that Ford was going ness were really fascinat- to buy John Deere.” ing.”

tor business, but it wasn’t profitable,” Dahlstrom said. “That’s where the story gets interesting because you have shortterm versus long-term views of the world and these three companies have different perspectives.”

Context is important, Dahlstrom said, to tell the story of “Tractor Wars.”

“You can’t talk about the tractor business without talking about the automobile business,” he said. “And you can’t talk about this era without talking about World War I. There are so many other drivers that impact people and decision-making because none of this is done in a vacuum.”

Dahlstrom’s goal of “Tractor Wars” is to write a story-driven book.

“I want people to

learn about the ups and downs and the people that were involved,” he said. “There are a lot of myths that I hope are debunked. There are a lot of urban legends around equipment including why a product line was cancelled or why a certain product was named.”

The author is looking forward to discussions that develop with readers of “Tractor Wars.”

“I see a book as the foundation that sparks a conversation,” he said. “I look forward to talking and meeting with people to get their perspective.”

2022 crop outlook: Focus turns to U.S. export pace corn prices below $4 in the middle of 2020 and a slow and steady decline early in 2021 and then reaching a peak in about mid-May. So, we’ve seen a much more volatile, but also a higher price situation since the middle of 2021. The question is with relatively high prices where we go from here,” Janzen said.

“Going forward in this marketing year for the U.S., export competition is an important outstanding factor,” he said.

“The major players are the United States, Argentina and Brazil. On the corn size, Ukraine is a major export competitor of exports, as well. All of

Gulf in September and what’s happened in more recent weeks through November isn’t particularly encouraging.

“The other uncertainty is that USDA projects significant imports of corn by China and there’s uncertainty about whether China imports that much corn. The current USDA forecast is based on last year’s actual number of about 26 million metric tons of corn imported by China.

There’s a question about whether they’ll actually import that much.”

On the soybean side, the current export pace — actual exports plus committed sales — is

“The concern that exists is if all of those committed corn sales turn into actual exports and here the picture is a little bit more uncertain. While 36% of our commitments and actual corn exports are expected to go to China, only 11% of what’s been shipped is being moved to China.

“The pace of actual sales has been relatively slow to this point. Some of that might be due to supply chain issues. We had the hurricane in the

“We’ve seen particularly strong movement to turn those committed sales into actual exports. The total soybean sales pace today is really close to the five-year average. If you carry that number forward based on past behavior we get something really close to the WASDE forecast and we’ve done relatively well in turning sales commitments to actual exports,” Janzen noted.

Farmer-led efforts key to reducing nutrient loss

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The Agricultural Nutrient Policy Council recently released a report highlighting farmer-led efforts to reduce nutrient loss in the Mississippi River Basin.

The report, presented

at the Environmental Protection Agency Hypoxia Task Force meeting, provides federal regulators an in-depth look at efforts to improve water quality across 16 states, including Illinois, Indiana and Iowa.

Some of these efforts are being done solely by the agriculture trade

ILLINOIS KEY FINDINGS The Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy calls for 45% reduction in both total phosphorus and total nitrogen to the Gulf of Mexico. This includes interim milestones of 15% for total nitrogen and 25% for total phosphorus by 2025.

NLRS implementation is supported by a mixture of federal and state level public funds and private funds. USDA conservation program funding provides the bulk of the public funds.

State level funding also comes from the Partners for Conservation Program, wherein the state Department of Agriculture, with assistance from Soil and Water Conservation Districts, administer a cost-share program.

State-level funding also is provided at the

watershed level through Illinois EPA’s Section 319 program. Private investment ranges from approximately $4.5 million to $7 million annually, not including private money spent by farmers on the farm scale.

Efforts in the Prairie State are spearheaded by the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council; Illinois Corn Growers Association/ Illinois Soybean Association’s Precision Conservation Management program; Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association’s Keep it 4R Crop; Cover Crop Premium Discount through Department of Agriculture; Sustainable Ag Partnership; and Illinois Farm Bureau’s Nutrient Stewardship Grant Program.

Management tools benefit no-till practices

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHATHAM, Ill. — Notill and minimal-tillage practices continue to increase in efforts to reduce costs and implement conservation practices.

“Being able to maintain and keep any sort of residue on a field would have been unheard of 40 years ago,” said Matt Montgomery, Pioneer field agronomist. “We would have seen the moldboard plow, the soil physically rolled over, and nothing but bare dirt.”

Montgomery was featured in an informational video standing near what remains of levee system constructed in a field in the early 20th century in order to protect the field from flood water. Through erosion the soil has built up to

the top of the levee.

“At one time this location was the same depth on both sides of the levee. It filled in because growers in the early 20th century were trying to scratch an existence out of fields and had to make sure they started clean and stayed clean.

They would completely roll the soil over, work it, work it, work it, and the consequences of that is the area surrounding levee is slowly, and some people would say actually rather rapidly, filled in behind the berm and it created a plateau region.

“That’s an incredible amount of soil. That’s the consequences of only having that one cultural control practice to manage weeds in the countryside; rolling the ground over resulted in an incredible amount of soil moving offsite.”

BENEFITS The benefits of reduced tillage include reduced fuel costs, reduced equipment wear and tear, reduced water quality concerns, reduced risk of nutrient loss, especially phosphorus, and exceptional reduction in soil loss.

In addition, the natural mulch in the field acts as a physical barrier, keeping moisture from leaving the field.

“So, maybe we could make the argument that it improves our efficiency when it comes to moisture in the field just a little bit more, but we’re very familiar with the idea that residue helps dissipate energy associated with water droplets so that it can’t wash away soil into lakes, rivers and streams,” Montgomery said.

“That’s important because we know soil conservation is important to begin with. It’s important

because we know that we’re under microscope to a certain extent. People are watching to make sure that we’re maintaining nutrients in the field where they belong and not washing away into bodies of water.”

NEXT GENERATION Soil conservation is also important for future generations of farmers.

“We may not have been handed our fields in great condition, but we want to ensure we’re handing off fields better to those generations coming after us,” Montgomery added.

“This is only possible, though, because we have this enormous toolbox of pesticide resources that gives us the opportunity to maintain productivity while not rolling the soil over.

“We talk about starting clean, staying clean.

There’s only one way that

happened in the past and we had a clean bed all that was physically work- through the season. ing the ground, tearing See NO-TILL, Page 19 up weeds, making sure

NO-TILL FROM PAGE 18

“Work the ground, work the ground, and work the ground. We wouldn’t be able to avoid doing that if it weren’t for the fact that we have pre-emerge chemistry, post-emerge chemistry, residuals, burndowns, all of those are tools that that make (reduced tillage) possible.”

DISEASE MANAGEMENT While residue decreases the amount of moisture evaporating and increases the amount of moisture available to the crop, it also provides an environment for spore production from fungi that overwinter in the residue.

“If it weren’t for the fungicide resources th-

at we have we really wouldn’t be able to do reduced tillage either. We would have to revert back to cultural practices that physically roll the ground over, decrease that residue that acts as a place for those fungi to overwinter and acts as a place for spores to blossom out, come up onto the bottom of the plant,” Montgomery said.

“One reason we talk about pesticide stewardship is we want to maintain a great big toolbox, plenty of options to use for pest management. We don’t to lose those tools to resistance or to regulation, but the other reason we talk about pesticide stewardship is because those tools make minimum till possible.

“Those tools make it possible for us to engage

WA SH I NGT ON — Family farms remain the primary source of food production in the United States, according to a report by U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service.

“We find that 98% of U.S. farms are family farms and they account for 87% of farm production. This has remained largely unchanged when compared with 2011 data,” said Christine Whitt, who co-authored America’s Diverse Family Farms report with Jessica Todd and Andrew Keller.

Data for this report is from the 2020 Agricultural Resource Management Survey conducted

by ERS and the National Agricultural Statistics Service.

“The 2021 edition of this report describes characteristics of the

2 million U.S. farms in 2020. Specifically, the report examines what farms produce, how much they profit and their participation in federal agricultural programs. The report also looks more closely at farm household well-being,” Whitt said.

USDA defines a farm as any place that, during a given year, produced and sold — or normally would have produced and sold — at least $1,000 of agricultural products.

Farm size is measured by gross cash farm income, a measure of the farm’s revenue that includes sales of crops and livestock, government payments, and other farm-related income, including fees from production contracts.

Here are the report’s findings.

• Retirement farms: Small farms whose principal operators report having retired from farming, though continuing to farm on a small scale — 219,288 farms, 10.9% of U.S. farms in 2020.

• Off-farm-occupation farms: Small farms whose principal operators report a primary occupation other than farming — 779,767 farms, 38.8% of U.S. farms.

• Farming-occupation farms: Small farms whose principal operators report farming as their primary occupation. Farming occupation farms are further sorted into two classes: low sales, farms with GCFI less than $150,000 — 683,514, 34% of U.S. farms; and moderate sales, farms with GCFI between $150,000 and $349,999 — 110,865 farms, 5.5% of U.S. SMALL FAMILY FARMS — GCFI LESS THAN $350,000 farms.

When You Need to Be Sure . . .

MIDSIZE FAMILY FARMS • Family farms with GCFI between $350,000 and $999,999 — 112,122 farms, 5.6% of U.S. farms.

LARGE-SCALE FAMILY FARMS • Large family farms, farms with GCFI between $1,000,000 and $4,999,999 — 51,708 farms, 2.6% of U.S. farms.

• Very large family farms, farms with GCFI of $5,000,000 or more — 6,124 farms, 0.3% of U.S. farms.

NON-FAMILY FARMS • Any farm where an operator and persons related to the operator do not own a majority of the business — 47,275 farms, 2.4% of U.S. farms.

FARMS, PRODUCTION, FARMLAND • Approximately 89% of all farms were small family farms. Compared

with 2011 — the earliest year using the current farm typology — the share of land operated by small family farms fell from 52% to 48% and the share of the value of production on small family farms declined from 26% to 20%.

• Large-scale family farms accounted for 46% of the total value of production in 2020, an increase from 35% in 2011.

These farms also accounted for an increased share of total land operated, up from 16% in 2011 to 24% in 2020.

• In total, family farms accounted for about 98% of total farms and 87% of total production in 2020.

• Non-family farms accounted for the remaining 2% of farms and 13% of production. Among non-family farms, 18% had a GCFI of $1 million or more. Such farms accounted for 90% of non-family farms’ production. Examples

Proposed dicamba rules in Illinois unchanged SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The proposed restrictions for dicamba use on soybeans this year are unchanged from 2021.

The Illinois Department of Agriculture’s proposed administrative rules for the use of dicamba on soybeans were published in the Secretary of State’s Illinois Register Dec. 17.

The publication of the rules in the Illinois Register begins the First Notice period, during which IDOA must accept comments from the public.

In October 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that it had renewed the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act registra-

tions for three dicamba pesticides for growing seasons 2021-2025.

Contrary to prior practice, EPA declared that the only way for states to add safety restrictions to these products is through Section 24(a) of FIFRA, which allows a state to add restrictions through its rulemaking process.

In February 2021, IDOA filed emergency rules detailing additional restrictions for dicamba application on soybeans for the 2021 growing season. Since the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act prohibits state agencies from adopt ing emergency rules more than once in any 24-month period,

Dicamba is primarily used on soybeans to control post-emergence broadleaf weeds. the department is now required to proceed with the permanent rulemaking process.

In addition to the requirements of the federally-approved labels, IDOA’s proposed rules include the following requirements for the use

of pesticides containing dicamba on soybeans: A pesticide containing dicamba shall not be applied on soybeans if the air temperature at the field at the time of application is over 85 degrees or if the National Weather Service’s forecasted high temperature for the nearest available location for the day of application exceeds 85 degrees. Local National Weather Service forecasts are available at www.weather.gov.

Application on soybeans of a pesticide containing dicamba shall not be made after June 20 of each year.

Before applying a pesticide containing dicamba on soybeans, the appli-

cator shall consult the FieldWatch sensitive crop registry — www. fieldwatch.com — and comply with all associated recordkeeping and label requirements.

Application on soybeans of a pesticide containing dicamba shall not be made if the wind is blowing toward: any Illinois Nature Preserves Commission site that is adjacent to the field of application; or an adjacent residential area.

“The number of off-target complaints received over the past two growing seasons has declined dramatically since implementing changes to label restrictions,” said Jerry Costello II, IDOA director.

“The decision to keep

these rules in place was made after evaluating several factors, including the reduction of pesticide misuse cases involving the use of dicamba on soybeans from 2019 to 2020.”

TRAINING In addition to these provisions, applicators must follow the federal guidelines when it comes to applying dicamba, including taking annual dicamba specific training and be a certified applicator.

The intent of these additional restrictions is to reduce the potential for off-target movement of this product, thereby reducing the potential for possible adverse impacts to dicamba-sensitive crops and areas.
