SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Mike Haag mugging for a reporter’s camera before settling down to talk seriously about the Illinois pork industry and his tenure on the Illinois Pork Producers Association is about as onbrand as you can get for this Emington farmer.

For those Haag 16 years, Haag has employed humor and a positive outlook to spread the message about modern pork production.

He hasn’t done it alone.

Wife Trisha and their children, Kaleb, Brooke and Kacie, have been active in the industry and in IPPA activities.

Haag’s brother-in-law, Jeff Stark, works on the livestock operation, and Mike’s parents, Dewaine and Marie Haag, are active in the industry and on the farm.

At the 2020 annual meeting of the Illinois Pork Producers Association, Haag stepped down from the IPPA board after 16 years of service, including serving as president of the IPPA in 2011.

During the Illinois Pork Expo, AgriNews sat down with Haag to talk about his tenure on the IPPA board and the Illinois pork industry.

How does it feel to be not an IPPA board member?

“It feels good. It’s been fun, and it’s been extremely rewarding, but it’s time to move on to a different chapter.”

Baa, baa blood test Samples reveal sheep diseases

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — Shepherds collect blood samples for several reasons, including DNA testing.

“You can get DNA in a lot of different ways,” said Rick Adams, who raises sheep near Chebanse. “I take blood samples to determine genetic markers for disease.”

Spider lamb syndrome is a condition that results in lambs with crooked legs or twisted spines.

“It is genetic, and you can test sheep to see if they are a carrier,” Adams said during a Sheep and Goat Workshop hosted by University of Illinois Extension in Kankakee County. “Now that syndrome is almost completely gone.”

Sheep also are tested for resistance to scrapie, which is a neurological disease.

“We can test for the genetic markers for resistance to scrapie, and we’ve practically eliminated scrapie in the sheep herd,” Adams said.

“Now we test for hairy lamb syndrome, which is a problem

Elton Mau talks about different equipment he uses to give oral medications and shots to his sheep during a Sheep and Goat Workshop.

Using a drench gun with automatic refill, he says, saves a lot of time when working with a flock. for Southdown sheep,” said the shepherd, who owns a 75-ewe flock of white faced sheep and a 175-ewe flock of black faced ewes. “The skin has a deformity, and it is not as fatal as spider lamb syndrome, but it is still not a good thing.”

In addition, there are good traits that also can be identified by genetic testing including the callipyge gene.

“With this gene, the sheep have muscle cells that are twice the size of normal muscle cells,” Adams said. “When these lambs go to market, they have 30% more lean meat and

10% less fat.”

DNA testing requires purple top tubes that have a chemical in them so the blood does not coagulate, Adams said.

“After the needle is in the vein, push the tube on and the tube will fill with blood if you have it in the right place,” he said.

If he has a problem finding a vein because of the wool, Adams said, he clips a small area on the sheep’s neck.

Adams also draws blood from his sheep for pregnancy testing. “The red top tubes are for pregnancy testing because the serum and cells separate and the lab tests the serum,” he said. “Buy plastic tubes so they won’t break when you put them in an envelope and mail them to the lab.”

The shepherd sends the tubes by priority mail.

“If they get to them on a Wednesday morning, I will know by Thursday morning if the ewes are pregnant, and the lab is 95% accurate for positive results and 99.9% accurate if the result is negative,” he said.

Adams along with Elton Mau, who raises sheep near Arrowsmith, also talked about the proper way to give shots to sheep, as well as drenching techniques.

MALTA, Ill. — Trent Ford, the Illinois state climatologist, is ready for spring.

“If you’re like me, you’re pretty much ready for spring and no more of this wintery drizzle,” said Ford, speaking at the 2020 Illinois Crop Management Conference in Malta.

That being Ford said, h e ’s ready for just enough spring at just the right time – not too much spring all at once.

“We don’t want to get there too quickly. If we rapidly transition to spring and we have this really warm March or April, that could see problems as far as snow melt is concerned,” Ford said.

Water — how much and where and when — is a top concern on the minds of farmers and many others involved in agriculture in the Midwest right now.

Farmers are still reeling from a soggy 2019 growing season that caused many to plant crops months later than normal or not at all. The top question is: Will they see a repeat in 2020?

First-generation auctioneer named association president PEORIA, Ill. — Bill Burke caught the bid-calling “bug” when he attended auctions as a youngster with his grandfather and has brought that love forward to his own business today.

“I’ve always enjoyed auctions.

I love to sell items, whether it is at an auction or traditional real estate,” Burke said at the Illinois State Auctioneers Association conference.

“I just enjoy it. I’m a first-generation auctioneer. I’ve learned everything that I’ve learned coming to these conferences.

I make it a big deal to be at the ISAA conference and attend the National Auctioneers Association conference because you learn a lot.”

Burke, owner of Bill Burke Auction and Realty in Robinson, was seated as ISAA president during the annual conference.

He is a 2000 graduate of Oblong High School and a 2005 graduate of the Missouri Auction School.

“I worked at an auction house for a couple of years for

ARLINGTON, Va. — A first glimpse of the prospects for the 2020 growing season was revealed to kick off the 96th Agricultural Outlook Forum.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Chief Economist Robert Johansson opened the forum with the agency’s outlook for commodity markets, trade and farm income for 2020.

“We know that 2019 was a year filled with uncertainty for the agricultural sector. While the U.S. economy continued to grow, producers were faced with one challenging uncertainty after another,” Johansson said.

“Weather conditions were terrible for planned production — it was the wettest year on record and it was also the hottest year on record for many areas; it was the coldest, slowest planting season resulting in the most prevent plant recorded; we went into 2019 with record soybean stocks and uncertain demand for animal proteins globally; and underlying it all was extraordinary uncertainty about trading relationships with our primary customers.

“Those conditions characterized the 2019 season, and some of those conditions persist today.

However, driven by expectations of more normal conditions and finalization of several trade deals, 2020 is shaping up to be a year with less uncertainty, giving producers a better chance to plan and innovate.”

Ford’s answer: Yes and no, but more no than yes.

“There will be flooding.

There will be people who will have to make decisions based on too much water on their land,” he said.

WET, WET, WET Outlooks based on longterm trends are showing that the moisture likely won’t be as widespread or severe as it was last year.

Other conditions, including snow pack and rainfall, also point to a less soggy 2020 planting season throughout the northern part of the state.

“We’re looking much better than we were last year as far as total precipitation,” Ford said.

In Illinois, 2019 finished as the fifth wettest year on record.

The year was prevented from taking the top spot by a drought that plagued the southern half of the state in September.

Meanwhile, in northern Illinois, the area saw the bulk of its yearly rainfall before summer even started.

“Most areas around here got their normal total amount of precipitation in a year by June 1,” Ford said.

Heading into 2020, the winter has been milder than last year, with January being wetter than last year and February setting up to be drier than the same time last year.

WINTER BLANKET Snowpack in northern Illinois also is down.

“In DeKalb, so far this year, between Oct. 1 and Feb. 11, we’ve had about 23 inches of snowfall.

The normal is around 30 inches,” Ford said.

Less snow cover may put a damper on skiing and snowmobiling, but for farmers looking toward planting season, it’s a plus in one respect.

“One thing that warmer-than-normal temperatures can do, especially without a snowpack, is it

For better: What would help farmers this spring?

Q Dry, warm weather to help soil dry out and evaporate moisture.

Q Gradual, not immediate, move from winter to spring.

Q No extreme cold snaps.

Q Little to no additional moisture; little to no additional snowpack.

can evaporate water out of the soils pretty quickly.

That does help dry down the very top layer of the soil,” Ford said.

Where there is snowpack is in the upper Mississippi and upper Missouri River basins and that bears watching, especially if that fast spring warm up does happen.

“If this snowpack melts rapidly because of heavy rain up there and rapidly warming temperatures, we are going to see a lot of water come our way,” the state climatologist said.

Ford noted that springs overall have been getting wetter and that 2020 is likely to follow that trend — but that doesn’t mean a 2019 rerun.

“The outlooks for spring continue to show the odds of a wetter than normal spring, given our long term trends. That doesn’t mean 2019, but it does mean we will still see impacts related to excess water,” he said.

considered. n Inoculants. Use to rebuild VAM populations; often not feasible because of the cost. n Use Extract Powered by Accomplish biocatalyst.

Technology designed to help release of phosphorous, zinc and other nutrients for greater availability to plant.

“Extract is a proprietary technology that’s a combination of biocatalyst technology and a nutrient source. So, when we look at biocatalyst technology in Accomplish combined with nitrogen and sulfur applied in this system it can actually help us get more out of that system from a nutrient standpoint to release nutrients that are tied up in that system that could be contributing to that fallow syndrome,” Cornelious said.

He added that farmers cannot depend on the nutrients they applied last spring on acres that ended up being fallow.

“In a perfect world you should be able to plant the crop in 2020 and depend on those nutrients that were previously applied, but in most cases those nutrients are bound or have been used by some other mechanism in the soil and the crop doesn’t have access to those nutrients.

There could be some residual there, but we need to use some technology to get the maximum benefit of those nutrients that are in the system,” he said.

PREVENT PLANT NUMBERS Nationwide there were 19.4 million prevent plant acres reported to the Farm Service Agency. There were 22 states with more than 100,000 unplanted acres. Illinois had 1,505,661; Indiana, 944,680; Iowa, 463, 315; Missou r i, 1,399,103; and Wisconsin, 595,090.

U.S. corn prevent plant acres were estimated at 11.2 m illion acres. For t y-fou r states reported prevent corn acres and 15 states had more than 100,000 unplanted corn acres. Illinois had 1,143,131 acres; Indiana, 710,241; Iowa, 380,822; Missouri, 749,444; and Wisconsin, 459,042.

FSA reported 4.1 million acres of soybeans were not planted nationwide. Fourteen states reported 100,000 or more prevent plant soybeans acres. Illinois was 331,581 acres; Indiana, 230,366; Missouri, 482,685; and Wisconsin, 125,536.

There were 2.1 million wheat prevent plant acres in the country. Eighteen states had more than 25,000 unplanted wheat acres including Illinois at 27,063 acres and 84,678 in Missouri.

PLANO, Texas — A record 19.4 million acres nationwide were without row crops last growing season due to poor planting conditions and those left fallow are at risk in 2020 without the proper management practices.

Brian Cornelious, Agricen director of applied sciences, said unplanted acres are susceptible to fallow syndrome — primarily defined as a phosphorous deficiency — that reduces an important fungi in the soil.

“Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi are very important to the row crop system and basically act as an extension of the plant root systems. The fungi are able to capture water and nutrients and funnel that back to the plants,” Cornelious said.

“The mycorrhizaes also depend on plant roots in that system to provide nutrition for the mycorrhizae to survive.

Mycorrhizae are dependent on having some type of plant in that system for them to support their life cycles. In the absence of plant roots you’re also affecting the populations of those mycorrhizae that are helping

The Grains and Oilseeds Outlook was prepared by members of the wheat, feed grains, rice and oilseeds interagency commodity estimates committees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The 2020 projections assume normal weather conditions for spring planting and summer crop development. These forecasts will be updated in the May 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates WASDE report.

The May WASDE will incorporate farmers’ 2020 planting intentions as indicated in the March 31 NASS prospective plantings report and survey-based forecasts for winter wheat production, as well as global, country-by-country supply and demand projections.

Here are the corn, soybeans and wheat highlights: CORN n The U.S. corn outlook for 2020-2021 is for record production and domestic use, increased exports and higher ending stocks. n Planted acres are projected to reach 94 million, up 5% from last year’s 89.7 million acres. n The corn crop is projected at 15.5 billion bushels, 13% above a year ago with an increase in area from last year’s weather-reduced plantings and a return to trend yields. n The yield projection of 178.5 bushels per acre is based on a weather-adjusted trend assuming normal planting progress and summer growing season weather. n Despite beginning stocks

“We’re general auctioneers.

We sell everything from pots and pans to land and homes. We sell a little bit of everything,” Burke said.

HIGHLIGHTS He has a long list of favorite aspects of the auction business.

“There is something new every day. When my phone rings, I could be going to do a $500,000 real estate auction, or I could be walking into a hoarder’s home the next day.

We change so much in our general market, and I love it. I don’t work for a living. I love my job, so I don’t work for a living.”

The friendships he has developed over his career are also a highlight. For example, Junior Staggs, a Tennessee auctioneer and one of the speakers at the ISAA conference, and Burke are close friends.

“We’ll call each other and bounce an idea,” Burke said.

The annual ISAA conference was once again filled with topnotch speakers and continuing education opportunities for its membership. Burke served as chairman of this year’s conference.

“We had Beth Rose, a very powerful real estate auctioneer from Ohio. She taught some real estate classes at the conference. She also had a class about empowering women in the auction industry,

Fallow syndrome symptoms in corn include purple coloration, or phosphorous deficiency, short or st u nted or u ne ven

plants.

In many cases, cover crops were used in 2019 on prevent plant acres to provide erosion protection, prevent weed growth, improve soil tilth and provide forage for Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae populations.

OPTIONS Looking ahead to 2020, Cornelious gave the following recommendations on managing those acres that did not have cover crops and were left fallow: n Apply starter fertilizers.

Banded phosphorous at 60 to 80 pounds per acre plus zinc; higher rates should be placed 2x2 to avoid damage from the nutrients. n Alternative crops. Soybeans and sorghum are more tolerant following fallow soil. So, as opposed to following the fallow field with corn that’s very susceptible to these conditions, these other options should be forecast down from a year ago, total corn supplies at 17.4 billion bushels are forecast to be record high. n Total U.S. corn use is forecast to rise 5% from a year ago on record domestic use and a rebound in exports. n Food, seed and industrial use is projected up fractionally at 6.8 billion bushels, driven by slightly higher corn used for ethanol. n Corn used for ethanol is up less than 1% from a year ago, based on expectations of essentially flat motor gasoline consumption and a modest increase in exports. n Feed and residual use is up 275 million bushels to 5.8 billion, with a larger crop, continued growth in grain consuming animal units and lower expected prices. n Corn exports are up 375 million bushels to 2.1 billion, reflecting expectations of global trade growth, but with continued competition from other exporters such as Argentina, Brazil and Ukraine. n Ending stocks are projected at 2.7 billion bushels, up 745 million from 2019-2020, resulting in a 25 cent per bushel decline from a year ago in the season-average farm price to $3.60 per bushel.

which to me is a great deal. I have a wife and three daughters. None are in my business right now, but they all support what I do, and I think this is a business that you’re going to see more and more women getting into,” Burke said.

“We brought in Junior Staggs from Tennessee. He taught Online Auction 101, which was basically for someone who has never done an online auction, and teaches them how to think about getting started because it’s a whole different animal. He also taught an in-depth second course on the advanced online auction and dove into how to do it, how to use it and everything else. “ We a lso had George Michak this year. He is from Pennsylvania and is an attorney that practices auction law. He looked over contracts and went over contracts and how to make them better.

“We are very blessed with the speakers we get. We’re trying to give our members what they need to go out and succeed whether you’re in southern Illinois and selling a tractor or in downtown Chicago selling very nice antiques.”

Tom C. Doran every day and if you’re not in an association like the ISAA or the National Auctioneers Association or another association at some of these schoolings, you’re getting left behind,” he said.

“Even in the last five years, the online auction side has taken over so much that it’s kind of crazy to be honest. There is so much technology going on.”

GOALS Burke has set a number of goals he hopes to accomplish during his one-year term as ISAA president, led by making the organization stronger.

“We have a lot of growing to do. I feel we have a little bit of a disconnect between our younger and our older population because of the change in the business. The way they’ve done it for 40 or 50 years isn’t the way it’s done today. When I started we had a one-page contract. Now most of them have 10- to 13-page contract,” he said.

“And it’s a whole different world when you have to start talking about online bidding and even mixing online bidding into a live auction. So, there’s a disconnect, and I feel that I want to bridge that. We have 10 district meetings across the state, with two meetings in each district each year, and I’ve made it a personal goal to be at every one to try and bring our members together, keep them engaged and grow the association.”

BRIEFS Tractor Supply Co. fundraiser benefits FFA BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Tractor Supply Co. continues its efforts to support youth across the country by kicking off the year with its annual Grants for Growing campaign.

The fundraiser, which coincides with National FFA Week, supports hundreds of unique and sustainable agricultural projects implemented by FFA chapters nationwide.

Through March 1, donations can be made in store or online at TractorSupply.com. Each grant will fund projects within the same state the funds were donated in.

Grants for Growing first launched in 2016 by Tractor Supply, and its ability to fund FFA projects has increased each year. Last year, Tractor Supply’s campaign raised a record $970,121, which funded 259 grants and impacted more than 24,000 students across the country.

To date, the program has raised more than $3.2 million for the National FFA Organization and has funded 1,258 grants supporting agricultural projects.

Grants can be up to $5,000 and will be awarded to chapters on Aug. 1. For more details about the program, visit FFA. org/GrantsforGrowing.

Farmland auction includes wind turbines ROSSVILLE, Ill. — Six farms making up 874 acres in Vermilion County will be offered at auction March 19 with Schrader Real Estate and Auction Co. conducting the event. The farms offer the opportunity for immediate wind income with four turbines on the property.

The land will be offered in 16 tracts, ranging in size from 10 to 160 acres. The turbines will be offered as separate tracts, each with two turbines.

“It’s rare to see this much quality land offered at auction just before planting. It is available for immediate possession with 2020 farming rights,” said R.D. Schrader, president of the auction company.

“The current owners have installed pattern tiling on 40-foot centers to ensure good drainage. It is well suited not only for operators, but for investors, as well. With our method of bidding, prospective buyers may make offers on any combination of tracts.”

The land is located near Rossville, approximately 20 miles east of Champaign and 35 miles west of Lafayette, Indiana.

Schrader representatives will be available from 9 to 11 a.m.

CST March 4 to provide detailed information and accommodate inspections.

The auction will begin at 1 p.m. CST at the Beef House Annex, 16501 North State Road 63, Covington, Indiana.

Internet bidding will be available by prior arrangement.

Those seeking additional information may visit www. schraderauction.com, or call 800-451-2709.

“I use a drench gun that has an automatic refill,” Mau said about delivering oral medications to his flock.

“If you have more than 10 head of sheep to drench, get an automatic gun because it is worth the time savings,” Adams said.

“Put the gun towards the back of their throat so the medicine gets on the back of their tongue and they’ll swallow it,” he said.

“If it is too far forward, they’ll spit it out.”

Adams stressed the importance of giving shots to sheep in the correct location.

“Don’t give shots in the rear leg or across the top of the loin,” Adams said.

“Most shots are given subcutaneous or just under the skin,” he said. “The best place to give a shot is in the skin fold area underneath the front leg, and if you need to go intramuscular, this is still a good spot to find muscle.”

Mau keeps all his supplies for administering shots and drenching in metal cabinets to protect them from rodents.

Another tip from Mau is to keep a bottle of Dawn dish soap handy when treating sheep.

“Dawn works great for a multitude of things like if you need to slide a rubber hose on a hard piece of plastic,” he said. “Put a little soap on it and that makes everything slide together.”

C650 Air Cart seeds more acres in less time Designed for small-grains producers and custom farmers In honor of its fifth full year of giving back to our nation’s farmer veterans, Kubota Tractor Corp. announced major enhancements to its Geared to Give program in partnership with Farmer Veteran Coalition. For the first time in the program’s history, veterans like Julie Hollars, a 2016 recipient of a Kubota L Series compact tractor, are now eligible to receive a wider range of equipment including higher horsepower tractors, utility vehicles and hay tools.

Geared to Give Kubota gives back to nation’s farmer veterans LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In honor of its fifth full year of giving back to our nation’s farmer veterans, from the showroom floor at National Farm Machinery Show, Kubota Tractor Corp. announced major enhancements to its Geared to Give program in partnership with the Farmer Veteran Coalition.

The Geared to Give program, which equips U.S. military veterans with the tools needed to pursue a future in farming by providing both financial support and donated equipment, is expanding the equipment offerings available through the program to meet the diverse needs of more farmer veterans around the country.

For the first time in the program’s history, awarded equipment will expand beyond Kubota’s L Series compact tractor to feature higher horsepower tractors, utility vehicles and hay tools.

A total of five farmer veterans, one selected

from each of Kubota’s five operating divisions, will receive donated equipment in special ceremonies through this year’s Geared to Give program.

New this year, one farmer veteran will receive one year or 250 hours free use of a powerful Kubota M7 Series tractor, a true workhorse tractor that excels in commercial livestock and hay applications.

The M7 Series tractor will be presented to a farmer veteran during a special ceremony at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, in September.

Additionally, Kubota will award a new Sidekick workhorse utility vehicle that delivers best-in-class handling and speed — up to 40 miles per hour of speed with cargo — for easier hauling of equipment, feed or harvest on the farm.

To be eligible for the Geared to Give program, a military veteran must be a veteran member of the Farmer Veteran Coalition

and apply for a grant from the Fellowship Fund.

Applications for the Fellowship Fund are being accepted now through March 6 and can be completed on the FVC website at www.farmvetco.org/ fvfellowship.

Each year, five farmer veterans are selected from hundreds of applicants to FVC’s Fellowship Fund to receive donated Kubota equipment through the Geared to Give program.

In addition to the equipment donations, Kubota also provides financial support in the form of grants that FVC awards to farmer veterans through the Fellowship Fund.

In total, the Geared to Give program has awarded 21 L Series compact tractors to Farmer Veteran Coalition members and more than $250,000 in grants to the Fellowship Fund.

For more information on the Geared to Give program, visit www.kubotausa. com/kubota-cares.

OL ATHE, K A N. — John Deere has expanded its lineup of air-seeding equipment to include its new C650 Air Cart to help small grains producers and custom farmers seed more acres per day in less time. The C650 Air Cart can be ordered in either tow-behind or tow-between configurations.

Thanks to its 650-bushel capacity, high-flotation tires and fill rate of up to 100 bushels per minute, the C650 Air Cart helps customers be more productive by seeding more acres per day in less time.

“This cart fills a need for producers or custom operators who are looking for an air cart with a capacity of more than 550-bushels, without having to make the leap up to our 850-bushel cart,” said Ryan Hough, marketing manager for planting and seeding for John Deere.

Integrated John Deere technology helps make the C650 Air Cart a smart cart. Technology includes a durable, digital cart-side display to make filling and calibration push-button easy.

ActiveCal is an on-de-

The C650 is compatible with select hoe drills and no-till drills. mand calibration feature that allows operators to automatically calibrate meters right from the Gen 4 Display in the cab. An integrated wiring harness provides connections for five camera locations, one in each tank and a fifth that provides a rear-hitch view.

The C650 Air Cart can improve seeding accuracy, too. SectionCommand manages seed and fertilizer application by minimizing overlaps and skips.

AirPower 2 provides dual fans, one for seed and one for fertilizer.

Thanks to large, 3-inch primaries, AirPower 2 can accurately deliver product rates across the full width of even the widest air seeding tools, from opener to opener for consistent product application.

Additional feat u res found on the larger John Deere C850 Cart are also

included on the C650, including hydraulic rear disc brakes, in-tank camera mounts, LED working lights, conveyor weather cover and digital tank air pressure monitoring.

The C650 is compatible with select hoe drills and no-till drills. See your local John Deere dealer for a complete list of compatible drills.

A Relative Flow Blockage Detection Performance Upgrade Kit from John Deere can also be added to the C650 to make it compatible with competitive tools and tractors.

“This gives operators greater confidence from row to row in product applied regardless of the brand or age of their tools,” Hough said.

John Deere will begin taking orders for the C650 Air Cart starting June 1, with shipments taking place later this fall.

CASE IH

New models added to Farmall lineup RACINE, Wis. — Building on nearly 100 years of power and legacy and with millions of Farmall series tractors sold, Case IH is adding three new models to its Farmall family of tractors: Farmall utility 95A, 105A and 115A. Known for exceptional value, the utility A series delivers performance w ithout breaking the bank.

The new models provide more horsepower, durability and useful features that producers need to tackle demanding tasks on beef and dairy operations; mixed farms; and specialty operations, such as poultry farms, orchards and vineyards.

The new models feature an efficient yet powerful 4-cylinder engine that provides high torque for maximum performance — ideal for handling a variety of implements, such as a loader, round baler, auger, disc mower conditioner, disc rotary cutter and field mower.

Designed to match the capacity of the Case IH L575 loader, these tractors are equipped with simple, powerful hydraulic PTO for increased productivity and efficiency.

Boasting 120 engine hp,1 the new Farmall 115A delivers 100 PTO horsepower — the highest available in the Farmall utility A lineup chassis class.

The same cutting-edge, fuel-efficient technologies available across the lineup of Farmall tractors are incorporated into the new models to maximize efficiency and power while increasing uptime and productivity.

With a proven FPT engine, the tractors do not require a diesel particulate filter or regeneration. The technology is designed to increase uptime and decrease operating costs — all while meeting Tier 4 B/Final engine emissions standards.

In addition, tractor models are engineered with more weight where it

Case IH is adding three new models to its Farmall family of tractors: Farmall utility 95A, 105A and 115A. makes a difference — from heav y-duty power train components to the axle and transmission.

Through this, Case IH creates a heavy, durable tractor to match demanding jobs and heavy loads.

More weight enables operators to push more, pull more and lift more, and it may minimize the need for front and rear wheel weights.

Oldie but goodie Don Cummings of Jackson County, Indiana, stands next to his 1977 John Deere 4430 during the 2020 National Farm Machinery Show. He lent his tractor to John Deere to allow the company to showcase it with its newest planter — the John Deere 1745. The planter was designed for the farmer who wants a simpler planter without all the bells and whistles, but also has the capability to pivot fold and fit down a narrow 12-foot roadway. John Deere used Cummings’ tractor to show farmers that the new planter doesn’t need a lot of hydraulic power to pull it.

HAAG

FROM PAGE ONE

Is it bittersweet to not be a part of the IPPA board photo?

“I think it’s a really exciting time. We had some really awesome candidates this year. It’s time.

There are some great young people coming who are ready to step up and take leadership roles in this organization and in the industry.

“It’s in good hands right now and I am excited about seeing what direction they take it.

That’s what this is all about — getting new blood and getting new leadership. The industry is constantly changing, and we need new young people to find what that direction is.”

are doing the right thing.

“I think that philosophy has been out there in our industry and with our producers, but I think what we’ve done on the board is really emphasize to producers how important it is to tell that story.”

What has changed in the way we tell that story?

“When we first started image campaigns a lot

“We are able to take care of animals so much more efficiently than we used to.”

Mike Haag of years ago, we thought it was going to be really simple, and we were going

to find the silver bullet.

We really thought we were going to do an ad campaign in Chicago that was going to hit a million people and just change their minds.

“I still think there’s the ability to change those minds, but it’s going to take a one-on-one conversation. There’s not a silver bullet.

“It’s a slow process, one

on one, person to person, telling your story, letting them ask questions. It’s not just running an ad at a football game, or that kind of thing.”

What’s next for you? Do you plan to stay involved with IPPA? “I don’t think IPPA Executive Director Jennifer Tirey will let me out that easily. I was just asked to be on a committee at the national level, so I’ll be around.”

Your son was in middle school and your daughters were in grade school when you started on the IPPA board. How have they been part of this?

“Kaleb is 28 now, so he was 12 when I got on the board, Brooke was 8 and Kacie was 5. They have always enjoyed being part of this, coming to the expo.

“They loved going and serving pork at different events and talking to people and being part of a lot of the promotions. They have absolutely grown up in the industry and with IPPA.” What are the biggest changes in the actual business of pork production in your 30 years of raising pigs?

“The technology and the way that we are able to take care of our animals so much better than we used to. The building and feeding technology, the ventilation in the buildings, we are able to take care of animals so much more efficiently than we used to.”

Is there a downside to that progress?

“It’s so disappointing and so exasperating that, with some of these groups, no matter how much improvement we’ve made in the lives of our animals, we seem to get no credit for what we do.

“We are constantly making changes in the way we raise animals and how we take care of them, but they don’t see that.

They don’t see where we came from. They don’t see all the benefits we’ve been able to give these animals over the years to make them better.”

You’ve transitioned from farrow to finish to finishing.

Tell us a little about that.

“We are now buying weaner pigs and feeding them out in finishing barns and the nursery.

The buildings were getting old, and there’s no firm commitment from the next generation really wanting to come home.

“Labor is also a factor.

Labor’s tough. You’ll hear that from every pork producer. Trying to find good, reliable labor is really difficult.”

Do you like finishing better than the farrow to finish?

“I’m around more.

There’s more flexibility.

There are still a lot of responsibilities. We still own all of the pigs. We buy the pigs and feed them out ourselves.”

You’ve really been a cheerleader for the industry and for Illinois pork production, in particular. What’s best about this industry?

“I really love the people in it. They are second to none. We’ve made some really great friends.”

What has changed as far as the public image of pig farmers since you started on the board?

“What’s changed the most is it’s no longer OK to just do the right thing.

We have to tell people we are doing the right thing.

We have to show them we

Austin Scott, a field agronomist with Beck’s Hybrids, discusses advancements in corn hybrids,

recently been updated is the “How a Corn Plant Develops,” which is a compilation of charts showing the basis for nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus accumulation.

Scott said the guideline was written in 1966 and was in great need of an update.

“The hybrids we are planting today are nothing like the old ones.

We needed new removal and accumulation rates,” Scott said.

Scott said the agronomists fathered modern hybrids and replicated the old tests that were performed in the original guideline, and the outcome was a huge difference, but for the better.

“New hybrids use less nutrients per bushels than older hybrids,” Scott said.

“There have been a lot of changes from 1955 to modern farming,” Scott said.

Scott said that besides the evolution in corn something else that has

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Over the last century, countless changes have taken place in the agriculture industry for the better, largely thanks to the advancements in technology.

One of those changes is the evolution of corn hybrids, which are still evolving today.

Austin Scott, a field agronomist with Beck’s Hybrids, said in 1955 the average corn yield was 42 bushel per acre, but thanks to scientific advancements, the average corn yield in 2017 rose to 177 bushels per acre.

“We have come a long way in a short period of time, and we have come a long way in advancing hybrids,” Scott said.

Scott said that one of the biggest changes to corn hybrids over the years has been their breeding process and changing their architecture which affects color, tassel and other characteristics of the corn plant.

Phrenology has a bumpy history Sneezing can be cause of vertigo

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Medicine has come a long way since the early 1800s, when phrenology was an accepted theory of diagnosis. It was said that each bump on your head covered a part of the brain that controlled a personality trait, like self-esteem, a destructive tendency or religious interest. The bumps might show a criminal tendency, but rewards and punishments could change tendencies.

Now considered a pseudoscience, phrenology was important in Britain, Ireland and the United States because of the lecturers who preached about it. Queen Victoria

There are still those who believe in the theories of phrenology, but most who buy a phrenology head want it as a decoration. had the heads of her children read. By the 1840s, it had lost credibility in

the United States.

Brothers Lorenzo and Orson Fowler became famous for making china phrenology heads that had “maps” of the zones marked on them. They are still the symbols of phrenology, and old heads sell for over $500; modern copies are inexpensive.

A baby’s head called “The Character Baby,” rarely seen, was offered at a Canadian shop, Peter Frampton Antiques & Interiors, for about $250.

It pictures the 5-monthold son of the artist, George Ricci, who made phrenology heads from 1915 to 1921. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

By Dr. Keith Roach

After many years of various treatments, including allergy shots, food studies and an ear tube, I was recently diagnosed with “semicircular canal dehiscence.” Can you explain what this is and the treatment, besides surgery, to relieve the symptoms of inner ear pressure, dizziness and pressure and pulsation in the head? Are there any medications?

Semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is an unusual cause of vertigo.

Vertigo is sometimes referred to as dizziness, but “dizziness” may refer to both unsteadiness, a feeling that you are going to pass out, which medically

is referred to as “presyncope”, or true vertigo, a sensation of movement when the person is actually still.

The vertigo in semicircular canal dehiscence syndrome is different from most other causes of vertigo because it can be provoked by loud noises, coughing or sneezing.

It is caused by abnormally thin bone in the semicircular canals, part of the organ of balance in the inner ear. The diagnosis is confirmed by a CT scan of the temporal bone.

The only treatment I have read that consistently is effective is surgery. An ear tube is sometimes tried in people

Calendar

who have symptoms with pressure changes.

Medications used in some cases of vertigo, such as meclizine, or Antivert, usually will make SCDS symptoms worse in the long term.

Anti-nausea medications like ondansetron or Zofran may help if nausea is severe, but have their own side effects.

Vestibular rehabilitation by a specially trained physical or occupational therapist may have some benefit if surgery isn’t contemplated.

you cut a non-jointed grass, the plant starts growing again.”

Non-jointed grasses farmers might consider for their pasture include Orchardgrass, Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, Big Bluestem and Indiangrass.

“Kentucky Bluegrass is a sod former, it is low yielding and it has low drought tolerance because the roots are short from 8 to 10 inches,” Hungerford said.

“Orchardgrass is a bunch grass, and it is my No. 1 grass.”

Perennial ryegrass will establish fairly quickly. However, it is not a persistent plant.

“Smooth Bromegrass is very drought tolerant,” Hungerford said. “Tall Fescue is the last thing in a pasture sheep will touch.”

Adding legumes to a pasture is a big benefit.

“Legumes are the cheapest form of nitrogen you’ll ever get,” Hungerford said. “If you don’t have legumes in your pasture, you’re missing the boat.”

Legumes can add as much as 50 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year, Hungerford said.

“It’s a no brainer, and they are usually higher in protein than grasses,” he said.

Alfalfa, red clover and Ladino

Species Selection On wet sites use: Perennial White clovers Ryegrass — Ladino or Alsike Kentucky Bluegrass Orchardgrass Smooth Brome Tall Fescue On droughty sites use: Alfalfa Orchardgrass Smooth Brome Red Clover Tall Fescue

and Alsike white clovers are legumes that can be planted in pastures.

Alfalfa is high productive and drought tolerant, but it does not grow well on wet sites.

Red clover is a good choice for frost seeding, and it can tolerate somewhat poorly drained sites. However, it generally needs to be seeded every two years.

Alsike clover can be planted on wet sites. Ladino clover also tolerates wet sites, and it has poor drought tolerance.

Hungerford stressed the importance of purchasing quality seed.

“Make sure the seed had a germination test in the last 12 months,” he said.

Some companies sell pasture or waterway mixes of seed.

“Be very cautious because there may be so many varieties mixed in that not all of them will be suitable to your site,” Hungerford said. “Identify the grasses that will give you the best bang for your buck and don’t put fillers in your mix.”

Another important consideration when seeding a pasture is the equipment.

“Don’t use any old drill,” Hungerford said. “The Brillion drill was developed to plant alfalfa, and the beauty of it is there is a cultipacker on the front and back.”

In addition, Hungerford recommends using a Truax or Great Plains drill.

“Don’t plant your grass or legume seeds too deep,” he said. “If you go deeper than two times the diameter of the seed, that’s too deep.”

World Pork Expo returns to Des Moines DES MOINES, Iowa — The 2020 World Pork Expo is back at the Iowa State Fairgrounds for its 32nd year. The expo will take place June 3-5, providing pork professionals

with three full days of education, innovation and networking.

“We’re excited to welcome all members of the pork industry back to Des Moines after a brief hia-

tus in 2019,” said David Herring, NPPC president and pork producer from Lillington, North Carolina.

Out of an abundance of caution, the 2019 World

Pork Expo was canceled due to reports of African swine fever in China and other countries. P ro fessionals in the pork industry worked together across the globe to understand the situation and evaluate risks presented with ASF. Since the outbreak of ASF in 2019, the United States has significantly stepped up biosecurity measures taken to prevent an outbreak in the United States.

The 2020 expo will have increased biosecurity on-site during the show.

Additional changes to the 2020 World Pork Expo include the decision to relocate the live swine show to reduce an already negligible risk.

An inspiring FFA experience

Rural Issues Cyndi YoungPuyear

During National FFA Week many of us remember our time spent building picnic tables, participating in soils judging contests, learning to weld, touring a meat locker and going to State and National FFA Convention with a van full of

teenagers.

Many of you were active participants in a local FFA chapter.

Some of you may have been active in a collegiate chapter, as well. I was.

The first paragraph of the FFA Creed has significant meaning to those of us whose roots in agriculture and FFA run deep: “I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds — achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.”

My grandpa was charter member of FFA at Winchester High School in Illinois. My dad was chapter president and received the DeKalb award, which is presented annually to one FFA student per chapter who exemplifies scholarship, commitment and work ethic. My sister, two years ahead of me in school, was one of the first girls to join our local FFA chapter.

I saw a couple of friends from my high school FFA days at the John Wood Community College Ag Banquet earlier this month.

Both have daughters who were active in the WHS FFA Chapter and have made the most of their post-secondary education.

“She is going to be a Mr. Goetze,” my friend Linda said proudly as she looked at her daughter.

A rush of memories comes back when I hear the name of my high school ag teacher and FFA adviser. I’ve written about him in this space before and probably will again. He made a difference in so many young lives.

Mr. Goetze shared his passion for agriculture and community with us. He taught us by doing, “with a faith born not of words, but of deeds.”

He believed in every one of us — even those who didn’t fare so well in the more “traditional” school subjects. Mr. G didn’t compare us to our siblings or put labels on us. He allowed us room to succeed and to fail and was always there to pat our backs, or lend a hand to help dust us off and pick us up off the ground.

The year I completed my agricultural education studies and my student teaching, Mr. Goetze received the Agriculture Teacher of the Year Award from the state of Illinois.

I was fortunate to have many good teachers during the first 12 years of my education. Seldom do we realize, at the time, the influence these educators have on the persons we are becoming.

Many of you have fond memories of the ag teacher and FFA adviser who inspired you. Maybe you are farming today because of something you learned from that person.

Maybe you are not farming today because of something you learned from that person. I know that I am not alone when I reflect on those days in high school ag class and FFA with a smile on my face and a happy heart.

Happy National FFA Week.

Cyndi Young-Puyear is farm director and operations manager for Brownfield Network.

The changing face of farming Geography isn’t static.

Rivers change course, mountains erode and islands disappear under rising seas.

The geograFarm & Food phy of farmFile ing and food changes, too.

Alan Guebert For example, 180 years ago my home county was the castor bean and castor oil capital of the United States.

Both titles, however, slipped into irrelevance as a new resource, crude oil, rose to dominate the lubricant business. Today, fewer and fewer Americans have ever heard of castor beans or castor oil.

Those long-forgotten twins seem to have a modern equivalent. Total U.S. wheat acres peaked at 88 million in 1981.

Last year, the most recently completed reporting year, total U.S. wheat acres were about one-half of that, or 45.6 million acres.

In its just-published “Agricultural Projections to 2029,” however, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts wheat’s decades-long slide will stabilize between 45

million and 46.5 million acres in the coming decade.

That estimate also comes with a warning: “U.S. (wheat) export growth is tempered by sustained price competition from Russia, Ukraine and the European Union.”

Translation: After 40 years of falling U.S. wheat plantings and, now, fast-rising international competition for exports, don’t bet on our forecast.

It’s no surprise that the two biggest benefactors of wheat’s decline are America’s two biggest crops, corn and soybeans. As David Widmar of Agricultural Economic Insights pointed out more than two years ago, almost 30 million of wheat’s lost 43 million acres have been planted to corn and soybeans since 2000.

There are two critical, among other, reasons for the big switch: government ethanol blending mandates have fueled corn’s rise and fast-growing soy exports, especially to China, have pushed soybean acres higher.

Both forces, however, are losing steam. Increased use of electric cars and, soon, trucks, has already flat-lined the once voracious U.S. gasoline — and, in turn, ethanol — appetite and continued global competition in the soy trade is pinching

U.S. soybean margins towards breakeven.

The elective, sustained tariff war with America’s biggest soybean customer, China, throughout 2018 and 2019 has added to that woe.

More troubling for U.S. farmers is the unabated growth of their soy competitors, especially South America’s biggest soy boy, Brazil. Late last year, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service noted that for the first time ever, “Brazil is forecast to overtake the United States as the leading soybean producer in the world during the 20192020 season.”

Part of the explanation is American; 2019’s terrible weather clipped U.S. soybeans harvest nearly 20%.

Another part, though, is Brazil’s strong and steady rise in plantings.

Last July, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture forecast the nation’s soybean acreage would balloon 25% in the coming decade. If accurate, the increase of 23.5 million acres would boost Brazilian soy acres to112 million by 2029, or about 22 million acres more than the record U.S. soy plantings in 2017.

A few days after that news hit global markets, Reuters reported that the chairman

of China’s largest food company, state-owned COFCO International, told Brazilian ag leaders that his firm wanted to increase its Brazilian soy imports by 25% over the next five years.

More troubling, the COFCO boss added that his company would underwrite soy expansion on some or most of Brazil’s undeveloped 25 million hectares.

How many acres are in 25 million hectares? You better sit down for this: A staggering 61.8 million.

That number and the Chinese promise should finally dispel another myth too long at the center of U.S. agricultural geography: Buy land because they’re not making it anymore.

Well, “they” are making more of it and many of those makers — Brazil, Ukraine, Russia, China among others — are poised to substantially alter American farm and food geography in the next 20 years.

In fact, they already are. Just ask a wheat grower, if you can find one.

Farm & Food File is published weekly through the U.S. and Canada. Source material and contact information are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com.

Sharing ag’s story with consumers of all ages Consumers of all ages have a real hunger for more information about where their food comes from, and that gives farmers Zippy Duvall a great opportunity to share about the work American we love.

Farm Bureau Who better Federation to answer questions about how animals are cared for, why certain seeds are used, what role technology plays on a farm and how our water and soil are being protected than the folks who are out in the field every day?

Studies show that consumers trust farmers and ranchers and want to hear our stories. But we also know that with social media and the constant news and entertainment cycle, there’s a lot of competition for “airtime.”

We can’t be in all places at once. But we can work together to promote ag literacy.

That’s why the mission of the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is devoted to ag education. When it comes to ag education, you can never start too early either.

From lesson plans to classroom activities to accurate ag books, the foundation continues to expand its offerings and resources every year. We want all children — and their parents — to understand what goes into growing a safe, sustainable food supply and how innovation is turning crops into clean energy and climate-friendly textiles.

I’m especially excited about the newest release coming from the foundation’s new book publishing venture, Feeding Minds Press. “Tales of the Dairy Godmother: Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish” will be available for online purchase in just a few weeks, on March 17.

This beautifully illustrated children’s book follows a young boy who’d rather have some ice cream than do his

“Tales of the Dairy Godmother: Chuck’s Ice Cream Wish,” to be released March 17, follows young Chuck as he learns just how much work goes into making his favorite treat. chores, but then his Dairy Godmother appears to make his dreams come true in a way he doesn’t expect.

Both Chuck and young readers then go on a special adventure to learn all about the work that goes into making one of our favorite treats. As a former dairyman, I can’t wait for kids like Chuck to learn more about the care and hard work that goes into running a dairy farm.

Feeding Minds Press is committed to producing kids’ books like this one, that tell the real story of modern agriculture. Too many folks have a romanticized view of agriculture, rather than see it as the innovative industry it is.

We need more kids to see this and pursue careers in agriculture if we’re going to continue to be sustainable into the future. And who knows, maybe this dairy-tale will inspire the next farmer, veterinarian or ag researcher out there.

The foundation is also looking to tend the soil of ag curiosity throughout a young person’s education, into middle and high school by connecting science, technology, engineering and mathematics lessons to agriculture.

Agriculture education and STEM are a natural fit because farming is science in action, and each STEM field is critical to the sustainability of our industry. We’d love nothing more than to see an ag component in the STEM curriculum of all our nation’s schools.

To that end, the foundation has partnered with the Beef Checkoff to bring teachers out to farms so they can apply what they learn about agriculture to their classroom lessons and activities.

And soon, we will offer a new science curriculum based on beef production, also developed in partnership with the Beef Checkoff, to teach mid-

dle- and high-school students about sustainable agricultural production methods and how agriculture practices apply science to the care of animals and the environment.

These resources are just a sampling of the generous servings of ag education tools, books and activities available from the foundation.

You can keep up on the latest and connect your local schools and teachers in your communities with these resources by checking out our website at www.agfoundation. org/ or signing up for the foundation newsletter at https:// tinyurl.com/v7cxfpk.

Together we can share the story of agriculture with consumers of all ages.

there is no way the USDA or any other group can come even close to predicting precisely what will unfold in the years ahead due to those events.

Predicting accurately the long-term implication of those events is simply not possible by the USDA, or anyone else, for that matter.

Historically, Mother Nature is the wildcard for most ag markets and, in particular, grains.

But today and moving forward, we are talking climate change and not simply weather issues.

The five years leading up to 2020 were the hottest in history. And January 2020, was the warmest January for the entire globe in 141 years of recordkeeping.

Climate change is an event that will throw a monkey wrench into any USDA forecast.

As for the coronavirus, based on reports this week, 760 million people in China are basically on lockdown, or quarantine.

Plus, the virus is now found or suspected in 29 other countries, as well.

It is way too soon to argue coronavirus will not further impact trade or demand for foodstuffs

The USDA is woefully behind the curve on coronavirus as a market-moving event.

The trade deal recently signed with China is something not experienced by U.S. grain and livestock producers since the early 1970s to mid 1980s when prices soared to all-time record highs due to aggressive buying by the former Soviet Union and crop failures.

The trade deal with China is, in my view, newfound demand. China has committed to buying $40 billion worth of foodstuffs a year for two years. That has never been done before.

This week alone, China announced the tariffs placed on 696 U.S. products will be dropped, and on March 2, it will embark on a buying program to honor the trade deal.

When China lifted the tariffs on all those U.S. products, the CRB and the Goldman Sachs indexes posted gains as did most all other hard asset markets.

The fate of most markets and, in particular, the U.S. ag markets still comes down to events.

Farmers, ranchers stewards of the land

By Cyndie Shearing

Today’s farmers and ranchers are at the forefront of climate-smart farming, putting scientific solutions, technology and innovation to work every day to protect land, air and water.

They’re also reducing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, if you combine all of U.S. agriculture, it accounts for 9% of U.S. emissions, with 91% coming from all other sources, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

Farmers and ranchers continue to be stewards of the land by promoting soil health, conserving water, enhancing wildlife, efficiently using nutrients and caring for their animals.

Research shows that farmers are reducing their relatively small footprint through management practices that sequester carbon dioxide, such as no-till farming, planting cover crops and other practices. That’s certainly impressive.

But what does implementing sustainable practices on the farm or ranch actually look like?

Four farmers share their stories:

ment depend on building healthy soils that can support a growing population,” Freund explains.

“We take nutrients from our sustainable farm to where they’re needed (your garden), replacing non-renewable planting containers like plastic and peat.”

Michael Archibald is studying ways to use tree stumps to enrich the soil. says. He strives to use water efficiently for crop production, so it will be there for future generations of his family.

Hackman also hopes to leave a lasting farming legacy through careful water conservation. This includes upgrading crop irrigation systems used on the farm to reduce waste.

Water conservation is important to Hackman, in part, because “we want to protect the (other) families that live out here, too,” he says.

MICHAEL ARCHIBALD Michael Archibald, general manager of Deseret Cattle and Timber in Florida, is partnering with researchers at the University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences on a variety of field tests.

In a recent timber trial, farm employees found they can roll a heavy chopper over tree stumps and leave them to enrich the soil when clearing the land for pastures.

By doing so, they avoid having to dig out and burn tree stumps. This stump-cutting technique, which began as an experiment, is now a routine procedure on the property.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture reminds agricultural producers interested in the Conservation Reserve Program 2020 general sign-up that the enrollment deadline is Feb. 28.

This sign-up is available to farmers and private landowners who are either enrolling for the first time or re-enrolling for another 10- to 15-year term.

Farmers and ranchers who enroll in CRP receive yearly rental payments for voluntarily establishing long-term, resource-conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees, known as “covers”, which can control soil erosion, improve water quality and develop wildlife habitat on marginally productive agricultural lands.

CRP has 22 million acres enrolled, but the 2018 farm bill lifted the cap to 27 million acres.

Signed into law in 1985, CRP is one of the largest private-lands conservation programs in the United States. It was originally intended to primarily control soil erosion and potentially stabilize commodity prices by taking marginal lands out of production.

The program has evolved over the years, providing many conservation and economic benefits.

Marking its 35th anniversary in 2020, CRP has had many successes, including: n Preventing more than 9 billion tons of soil from eroding, enough soil to fill 600 million dump trucks. n Reducing nitrogen and phosphorous runoff relative to annually tilled cropland by 95% and 85%, respectively. n Sequestering an annual average of 49 million tons of greenhouse gases, equal to taking 9 million cars off the road. n Creating more than 3 million acres of restored wetlands while protecting more than 175,000 stream miles with riparian forest and grass buffers, enough to go around the world seven times. n Benefiting bees and other pollinators and increased populations of ducks, pheasants, turkey, bobwhite quail, prairie chickens, grasshopper sparrows and many other birds.

The CRP continuous sign-up is ongoing, which enables producers to enroll for certain practices.

FSA plans to open the Soil Health and Income Protection Program, a CRP pilot program, in early 2020, and the 2020 CRP Grasslands sign-up runs from March 16 to May 15.

To enroll in CRP, contact a local FSA county office, or visit fsa.usda.gov/crp.

2020 soybean price prospects URBANA, Ill. — An outlook for a large South American soybean crop and uncertainty of the impact on economic growth associated with the evolving coronavirus situation in China hang over U.S. soybean demand scenarios moving forward, according to University of Illinois agricultural economist Todd Hubbs.

“Expanding soybean acreage in 2020 looks to test the prospects for lower ending stocks despite stronger Chinese buying,” Hubbs said.

The latest release of U.S. Department of Agriculture’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates projections for the 2019-2020 marketing year increased the export forecast to 1.825 billion bushels.

At 425 million bushels, forecast stocks of U.S. soybeans at the end of the current marketing year fell 50 million bushels and come in on par with ending stocks seen in the 20162017 marketing year.

Additionally, the current projection for South American soybean production sits at 6.9 billion bushels, up 144 million bushels over the last marketing year.

“The prospect of current marketing-year ending stocks decreasing remains dependent on stronger export numbers. Hopes associated with the Phase 1 trade deal with China diminished over the last month,” Hubbs said.

Through Feb. 6, China’s total commitments for soybean exports total 446 million bushels, up 318 million bushels over the same period from the previous year.

“While the possibility of surpassing the 1.825 billion bushel USDA export projection for soybeans exists, the massive Brazilian crop and economic prob-

lems in China associated with the coronavirus may affect buying this marketing year,” Hubbs said.

“Any uptick in Chinese buying for this marketing year could provide pricing opportunities for old crop soybeans as rallies may be limited.”

The potential for stronger prices moving into the 2020-2021 marketing year begins with the 2020 crop, Hubbs said.

“Current expectations for soybean planted acreage encompass a wide range of possibilities. The prospect of increased acreage from 76.1 million acres planted in 2019 seems certain,” he said.

Most forecasts to date place soybean acreage somewhere between 84 million and 86 million acres. Current USDA longterm baseline projections have planted acreage at 84 million acres this year.

Over the last 10 years, USDA long-term forecasts for the upcoming marketing year averaged 1.06 million acres below the eventual March Prospective Plantings acreage.

“Multiple factors currently drive the expectation of an increase in soybean acreage,” Hubbs said.

“It seems unlikely that 2020 prov ides a not her oppor tunity to set aside a significant amount of soybean acres like 2019.”

Winter wheat seedings are dow n 355,000 Hubbs acres to 30.8 million acres. Recent surveys of cotton producers place cotton acreage down 5.5% with many growers pointing toward corn and soybean acres as substitutes.

“Given the number of factors pointing toward higher soybean planted acreage in 2020, planted acreage near 85 million acres seems a reasonable expectation,” Hubbs said.

“The USDA will survey producers’ planting intentions next month and release an estimate of those intentions in the March 31 Prospective Plantings report.”

Since 1996, the difference between planted and harvested acreage of soybeans ranged between 595,000 and 1.858 million acres, Hubbs said. Years associated with inclement weather accounted for outsized differences between

the t wo data points.

Under a typical weather scenario, the expected level of planted acreage may see the abandonment of approx imately 800,000 acres in 2020. Planted acreage of 85 million acres leads to a harvested acreage of about 84.2 million acres.

“Despite a tough growing season, soybean yields look to total near 47.4 bushels per acre nationally in 2019. Current USDA baseline projections place 2020 soybean yields at 50.5 bushels per acre,” Hubbs said.

U.S. SOYBEAN YIELD “Based on the growth in soybean yields over the last decade, typical weather during 2020 could provide an average U.S. soybean yield near 50.3 bushels per acre.

“At this national yield total, the 2020 soybean crop comes in at 4.235 billion bushels.”

A 2020 soybean crop of 4.235 billion bushels combined with the current USDA soybean stock projection of 425 million

bushels and imports of 15 million bushels leads to a marketing-year supply of 4.675 billion bushels, 193 million bushels larger than the supply for the current year.

Soybean consumption needs to be greater than 4.25 billion bushels to prevent 2020-2021 ending stocks from increasing under this scenario, Hubbs said.

Soybean consumption at this level sits between the 4.214 billion and 4.297 billion bushels used in the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 marketing years, respectively.

In those two marketing years, U.S. soybean exports totaled 2.17 billion and 2.13 billion bushels with China accounting for 1.33 billion and 1.04 billion bushels. A smaller crop in Brazil in 2016 and a production shortfall in Argentina in 2017 helped in achieving those use totals.

“A similar situation does not seem plausible for 2020,” Hubbs said. “While crush increased around 50 million bushels this marketing year from 2017-2018 levels, expansion on 2.105 billion bushels of crush may be limited under an

increased export scenario.

If China commences buying soybeans at higher levels to meet the trade agreement, soybean exports may not eclipse 2 billion bushels due to the strong competition out of South America.”

Hubbs explained that if one assumes soybean crush increased by 15 million bushels next marketing year to 2.12 billion bushels and exports totaled 2 billion bushels, total consumption when including seed and residual totals 4.25 billion bushels.

“Under this scenario, ending stocks stay at 425 million bushels. Increased soybean consumption at this level does not seem likely under current demand scenarios. A good 2020 soybean crop exacerbates the carryout issues for the 2020-2021 marketing year,” he said.

“Expectations for the 2020-2021 marketing year include increased acreage and a slight increase in ending stocks. The scenario discussed places seasonal average farm prices for soybeans in a range of $8.65 to $8.80 for the 2020-2021 marketing year.”

Ford’s answer: Yes and no, but more no than yes.

“There will be flooding.

There will be people who will have to make decisions based on too much water on their land,” he said.

WET, WET, WET Outlooks based on longterm trends are showing that the moisture likely won’t be as widespread or severe as it was last year.

Other conditions, including snow pack and rainfall, also point to a less soggy 2020 planting season throughout the northern part of the state.

“We’re looking much better than we were last year as far as total precipitation,” Ford said.

In Illinois, 2019 finished as the fifth wettest year on record.

The year was prevented from taking the top spot by a drought that plagued the southern half of the state in September.

Meanwhile, in northern Illinois, the area saw the bulk of its yearly rainfall before summer even started.

“Most areas around here got their normal total amount of precipitation in a year by June 1,” Ford said.

Heading into 2020, the winter has been milder than last year, with January being wetter than last year and February setting up to be drier than the same time last year.

WINTER BLANKET Snowpack in northern Illinois also is down.

“In DeKalb, so far this year, between Oct. 1 and Feb. 11, we’ve had about 23 inches of snowfall.

The normal is around 30 inches,” Ford said.

Less snow cover may put a damper on skiing and snowmobiling, but for farmers looking toward planting season, it’s a plus in one respect.

“One thing that warmer-than-normal temperatures can do, especially without a snowpack, is it

For better: What would help farmers this spring?

Q Dry, warm weather to help soil dry out and evaporate moisture.

Q Gradual, not immediate, move from winter to spring.

Q No extreme cold snaps.

Q Little to no additional moisture; little to no additional snowpack.

DON’T JUST SET YOUR GOALS. GO GET YOUR GOALS.

For worse: What would hurt farmers this spring?

Q Additional snowpack in the upper Mississippi River basin.

Q Prolonged cold that creates ice jams.

Q Heavy rain on top of snowpack.

Q Rapid transition from winter to spring and rapid melting of snowpack.

can evaporate water out of the soils pretty quickly.

That does help dry down the very top layer of the soil,” Ford said.

Where there is snowpack is in the upper Mississippi and upper Missouri River basins and that bears watching, especially if that fast spring warm up does happen.

“If this snowpack melts rapidly because of heavy rain up there and rapidly warming temperatures, we are going to see a lot of water come our way,” the state climatologist said.

Ford noted that springs overall have been getting wetter and that 2020 is likely to follow that trend — but that doesn’t mean a 2019 rerun.

“The outlooks for spring continue to show the odds of a wetter than normal spring, given our long term trends. That doesn’t mean 2019, but it does mean we will still see impacts related to excess water,” he said.
