NEW PRODUCTS DEBUT AT FARM SHOW

Seed Advisor picks hybrid for each field

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — The Climate Corporation’s Seed Advisor program expanded its footprint across the Midwest this growing season and is targeting a full launch this fall.

Seed Advisor, which was featured at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, is a data science-driven tool that provides dealers with a ranked hybrid recommendation by field and optimal seeding rate recommendation to help farmer customers manage risk and maximize yield.

This technology empowers dealers with a predictive model that combines the proprietary seed genetics library with regional seed performance data to predict the best performing hybrid for the unique agronomic conditions of each field.

Protection against five corn diseases

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — A new product hit the marketplace this year that provides five-way genetic tolerance against corn diseases.

“Channel Protexus provides tolerance against anthracnose stalk rot, Goss’s wilt and leaf blight, northern corn leaf blight, gray leaf spot and southern corn rust,” Brett Ochs, Channel brand corn product manager, said at the Farm Progress Show.

“Those are all pretty devastating economic diseases on corn for farmers across the Midwest.”

Com mercia l sa les were launched this year, and new Protexus products are in plots this year that will be available in the future.

“Some products will focus on only one disease but what we wanted to do with this Channel Protexus product is provide genetic tolerance to all five diseases, no matter what the weather pattern,” Ochs said.

Dave Preisler, CEO

“There was an announcement a week ago, week and a half ago, from President Trump and the prime minister of Japan, of an agreement in principle in regards to a Japan ag agreement. There’s a lot of enthusiasm with the trade, with the customers in Japan about that. We are operating at a disadvantage at the moment with the 12% duty disadvan-

tage versus some of our key competitors like Australia, Canada and Mexico and also we are at a disadvantage on the pork side, with ground pork having about a 7% duty disadvantage, as well as processed meats at a disadvantage. We are happy to say the trade here in Japan is very enthusiastic about the prospect about getting on a level playing field sooner rather than later.”

ence what we do on our farms and ranches at home. Utilizing those checkoff dollars, it was a great way to let those buyers experience what we do. I think we’ll see good results from that moving down the road, when we get back on a level playing field with tariffs, I think we can still really move the needle here.”

Cevin Jones, president-elect

“We know that livestock is the No. 1 consumer of corn and corn is committed to partnering with our livestock friends in exporting red meat. It’s good to see the excitement here among the buyers, the retailers. We’ve had opportunities to visit with buyers and even had a per-

They, too, are excited about the pending trade agreement and the expansion of sales of red meat which that can produce. It is an exciting time over here for red meat exports.”

(56%), as well as from farmers via the Allendale website and social media platforms (44%).

The top 12 crop-producing states were included in the survey, covering 86% of the U.S. corn production and 83% of the nation’s soybean production.

No adjustment for maturity concerns were made in this survey.

“Our corn yields suggested to expect a minor decline in the USDA yield numbers on the September report and the corn production decline is 146 million bushels,” said R ich Nelson, Allendale chief strategist.

“The soybean production of 3.499 billion bushels is down from 3.68 billion the previous month from USDA. So, we have a 181 million bushel decline on soybean production.

CHICAGO — Yield surveys in 29 states didn’t find the bushels that last month’s U.S. Department of Agriculture report estimated and there’s across-the-board concern if the late-planted crops can finish out.

Allendale Inc., a agricultural commodity brokerage and analysis firm, conducted its 30th annual nationwide producer yield survey Aug. 19-30 and estimated the U.S. average corn yield at 167.71 bushels per acre and soybeans at 46.13 bushels per acre. The USDA projected yields at 169.46 for corn and 48.51 for soybeans in its August report.

SEED

FROM PAGE ONE

The Seed Advisor tool was field tested by a group of farmers and their dealers through the company’s FieldView Innovators program across 100,000 corn acres during the 2018 growing season.

Harvest results demonstrated an average yield advantage of 9.1 bushels per acre versus what the fa r mer wou ld h ave pl a nt e d w it hout Seed Advisor recommendations, with a more than 80% win rate, according to the company.

Eickhoff “This last year across Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, we were able to allow more farmers in a pre-commercial test to experience our Seed Advisor product, which absolutely helps with that prescriptive selection and placement of new hybrids,” Tom Eickhoff, Climate director of implementation, said at the Farm Progress Show.

The program has been expanded into Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri.

Tests also are being conducted on soybeans for the program.

“As you build these types of predictive models, we’re also exploring how you get more prescriptive in areas like crop protection and some these other agronomic inputs, as well,” Eickhoff said.

“We’re really seeing acceleration around new insights, new prescriptions, more up-to-date prescriptions, not only from seed selection and placement, but also from a crop protection standpoint.”

INVESTMENTS The Climate Corporation has invested heavily in research and development to ensure its predictive models and digital tools provide significant value for farmers when they are deployed commercially.

DISEASES FROM PAGE ONE

“Obviously, we have an interesting weather pattern this summer — late planting, a lot of rain early, then dry. So, diseases can vary, depending on the conditions, but this is going to give you protection out of the bag through the plant health to the end of the season.”

Hybrid maturities in the initial launch range from 97 days to 115 days and more will be added in the next couple of years.

Along with the five-way protection, Ochs said the products maintain strong yields. They are tested under a wide range of growing conditions with trials focusing on performance and agronomics, strong emergence and early season vigor, and improved disease tolerance.

“One of the first requirements to be a Protexus product is it has to be a Channel product. So, it has to hit certain yield thresholds and to be honest these products stand alone on their own just by the way they’re able to handle stress or go for maybe a little more topend yield,” Ochs said.

“We have several different types of products there. But then that secondary criterion is really stringent looking through all of the pathology and breeding data to under-

“Where we’ve really been focused is bringing together the rich research and development data that Bayer Crop Sciences is generating to partner with on-farm data to unlock new insights for growers on the farm. It’s really the combination of bringing multi-years of testing through the research and development pipeline together with the knowledge farmers have on their own farm, to accelerate our ability to place and select the right seed for the acre.”

With tight profit margins for farmers, Eickhoff said believes growers can benefit from these programs.

“What’s really exciting about platforms like Climate FieldView is it allows farmers now to access all of the data they’ve generated on-farm and truly be able to explore and understand at a deeper level which practices, which seed, which agronomic techniques are the most profitable,” he said.

“So, I think more so now than ever things like Climate FieldView allow farmers to deeply explore the profitability of new technology on-farm and be able to fit the right products into their operation and make a better informed decision.”

First launched in the United States in 2015, the Climate FieldView digital agriculture platform is targeted to be on more than 50 million paid acres across the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Europe.

Bayer launches incentive program

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Bayer rolled out its new Plus Rewards program during the Farm Progress Show that offers expanded options for crop protection products to choose from, more flexibility and more cash incentives than ever before.

“Bayer Plus Rewards is our new loyalty program for this year. We’re really excited about the opportunity for our farmers.

It really does enable our farmers to have maximum choice in choosing the products and then the incentives they’ll earn through purchasing those products,” said Josh VanDeWalle, Bayer grower marketing manager.

The new program brings together a broader portfolio of high-performance products, includ-

“That’s really interesting because in a lot of our surveys producers did say on corn, at least as far as anecdotal discussions, is the corn looks good and their question is with maturity.

“With soybeans, we did hear maybe just a few more questions regarding the crop itself. Perhaps not just a maturity issue, which is a valid one, but also with the idea of just yield in general, as well.

So, people maybe had a little bit more hesitation with the soybean yield discussion.”

Most of the corn yield estimates in the western Corn Belt were at or near USDA’s August estimates.

However, South Dakota’s 146 bushels per acre in the survey is down 11 from USDA. North Dakota’s 141 bushels per acre estimate is five below last month’s USDA estimate.

In the eastern Corn Belt, the survey estimated Ohio corn yields of 154 bushels per acre, down six from USDA. The yield story was

ket is priced in with the belief, yes, we’re going to have a small setback in yields, but nothing of concern just yet. I do think that’s a valid discussion on the corn. On the soybean end, I would probably suggest that maybe this survey number is just a little bit lower than where the market is pricing right now,” he said.

Nelson doesn’t anticipate any major changes by USDA in yield estimates until down the road.

“Historically the big changes on yield often come in the October and beyond reports. So, that’s where I think we will see some of these issues shown. USDA is generally not for looking at the forecast ahead. So, if we go into USDA’s report day and there’s no major threat in the past few days, they’re going to say here’s the yield numbers as they stand right now,” Nelson said.

“We do think that maturity is a very valid issue and think the maturity issues will peel back some of these yields in October and beyond.”

about the same for soybeans, with the western Corn Belt estimates near or at USDA’s August estimates. South Dakota was an exception with the survey indicating 37 bushels per acre, down eight from USDA’s previous guess.

There was more variation in the eastern Corn Belt compared to USDA’s soybean yield numbers.

Illinois was down six bushels from USDA, Indiana down four, Ohio down five and Michigan down nine bushels.

MATURITY A concer n across much of the Corn Belt is whether corn and soybeans will reach maturity before frost.

“Maturity is going to be the key issue. Our survey didn’t find as much of a big concern from what producers told us directly as far as our best guess on crop maturity. However, there’s a big variation within each state of windows when the crops finish out,” Nelson said.

“So, certainly a September frost or freeze would set these crops back quite a bit, and even an early October or mid-Oc-

MARKETS The survey found soybean yields lower than expected. Nelson doesn’t believe that will give the soybean market a rally, but it “could stabilize some of the price decline seen in recent weeks.

“Improvement in prices based on maturity issues, which we do think is a valid concern, may not be coming, though, in the very short term. It will probably be an issue where the market has to see something happen before it wants to stabilize and rally and get prices going and perhaps see some lower yield numbers after October and beyond,” he said.

SURVEY SURPRISE Nelson said he was a little surprised by the strength of the corn yields in the survey. He expected to see yields in the 165 to 166 bushels per acre range.

“I do think the market has probably like a 167, 166 priced in. So, the mar-

With the 100-million-gallon ethanol plant and some of Marquis Energy’s 300 employees in the background, U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth speaks at a news conference following her tour of the plant.

Senator critical of refinery waivers Duckworth tours Marquis Energy ethanol plant

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

HENNEPIN, Ill. — Mark Marquis isn’t giving up. Yet. “I was a Trump supporter from day one. I thought maybe a business guy could fix some of the things with the economy, and I think he’s done that, to some degree, created more jobs and a good economy. With regard to supporting agriculture, I think we feel like we have been let down a little bit,” said the CEO of Marquis Energy.

Marquis and the employees of the Marquis Energy ethanol plant in Hennepin hosted U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, on Sept. 3.

On the day after Labor Day, Duckworth toured the plant with Marquis, met employees and heard concerns about the Trump administration’s generous approach to granting small refinery exemptions.

Those exemptions, originally intended to allow small oil refineries from having to blend ethanol, as required by the Renewable Fuel Standard, with gasoline.

Duckworth wasted no time, in a press conference following her tour, in calling the administration on the carpet for those exemptions.

“Right now, the Trump administration is hurting our farmers and lying to the American people by abusing hardship waivers that are intended to help small refineries,” she said.

Duckworth recognized that

the exemptions, meant specifically to help smaller oil refineries that did not have the necessary equipment to blend the required amount of ethanol with gasoline, instead have been granted to large oil companies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“These waivers are going to large and profitable oil companies like Exxon and Chevron, making them exempt from using the legally-required biofuel levels. That is unacceptable,” she said.

Duckworth also talked about the bipartisan bill which she introduced, the RFS Integrity Act, which would make the applications for those small refinery exemptions public, so the public could see who is applying for the exemptions and for what reasons.

But Duckworth said she isn’t optimistic that Senate leadership will allow the legislation to be brought to the floor for a vote.

“Hopefully, we’ll be able to move it out of committee.

Again, everything depends on (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell and whether it comes to the floor for a vote. It’s highly unlikely that he would allow that to progress, but I am going to continue to work on that,” she said.

The Hennepin plant uses 130 million bushels of corn each year, which equals about 500 truckloads a day. The plant produces about a million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol every day and about 3,000 tons of dried distiller grain, the high-protein animal feed that is the byproduct of ethanol production.

Mark Marquis, CEO of Marquis Energy, and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth discuss the impact that small refinery exemptions have had on ethanol demand. In the last round of exemptions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued 31 exemptions to petroleum companies that exempt them from blending ethanol with gasoline, as required by the Renewable Fuel Standard. Marquis Energy continues to run at full production at the Hennepin location, but the company cut production at its Necedah, Wisconsin, ethanol plant. nol industry needs.

“Yields of corn go up every year, with the exception of when you maybe have a little bit of a short crop from the weather, but the yields increase dramatically.

So, we also need to increase the amount of ethanol in our fuel.

That’s why we want to go to E15 — but that’s a longer term fix.

This small refinery exemption is a major problem right now,” Marquis said.

Marquis said he also is concerned that the U.S. ethanol industry might not be on an even

playing field with the current administration.

“First (Trump) put (Scott) Pruitt in charge of the EPA, who was an Oklahoma oil guy, then (Andrew) Wheeler, also a Texas and Oklahoma oil guy, then it’s hard to get a fair shake for the ethanol producers and the corn farmers,” Marquis said.

He also echoed a growing dissatisfaction with the Trump administration’s actions toward farmers, who made up a large part of Trump’s base in the 2016 presidential elections.

“I think our corn grower friends are going to have to talk to their representatives, and the message is going to have to get back to the White House that if you are planning on having farmers on your side in 2020, it’s got to be different than it is now because this isn’t working,” Marquis said.

Farmer optimism declines in August

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — After two months of increased optimism, farmer sentiment about the ag economy declined in August, according to the Ag Economy Barometer.

The barometer, based on a survey of 400 U.S. agricultural producers, weakened to a reading of 124 — down 29 points compared to July.

Weaker sentiment was fueled in part by both crop and livestock price declines that took place in late July and early August.

Prices for corn and soybeans fell sharply as crop conditions improved and U.S. Department of Agriculture released larger than expected crop production estimates on the August Crop Production report.

“That was one of the largest single-month declines we’ve had since we started collecting data for the Ag Economy Barometer,” said Jim Mintert, director of the Center for Commercial A g r iculture at Purdue University.

“The Index of Future Expectations was the biggest driver of the decline. It fell to a reading of 125 compared to 159 a month

earlier. The Index of Current Conditions also fell from a reading of 141 to 122.”

Over two-thirds of U.S. farmers said they expected USDA’s 2019 Market Facilitation Program payments to either completely or at least somewhat relieve their concerns regarding tariffs impact on farm income.

Looking ahead to the next crop year, 58% of farmers expect to receive an MFP payment for their 2020 crop.

According to the survey, producers were much less inclined to think now is a good time to

make capital investments on their farms.

They had a more negative outlook on short-run changes in farmland values than they had one month earlier.

However, producers’ long-run outlook for farmland values on the August survey was virtually unchanged from July.

Farmers were slightly more optimistic about the trade dispute with China.

“Since March, we’ve been asking farmers whether or not they think the soybean trade dispute with China will be settled soon,” Mintert said. “Initially, 45% of farmers said that they expected a quick resolution. But that’s dropped off significantly in recent months.

“In the August survey, the percentage expecting a quick resolution rose a little bit to 29% compared to 22% a month earlier.”

The percentage of farmers who expect the trade dispute to be resolved in a way that favors U.S. agriculture has ranged from a low of 65% in May to a high of 78% in July, with the August reading falling in the middle at 72%.

Solutions to common UAV problems

By Erica Quinlan

MUNCIE, Ind. — Drones give farmers a bird’s-eye view of their land, giving them access to important data.

Mark Carter, Purdue Extension specialist in Delaware County, said that field scouting and livestock monitoring are major reasons to use unmanned aerial vehicles on the farm.

“Just the coloration differences between a wet area in the field, or a hillside, and how the factors of that growing season are affecting the crop,” he said.

“Whether it’s through pests, insect pressure, disease, moisture — all those different things that differentiate the coloration of the vegetation. When you look from above, you can see that.

“It doesn’t necessarily tell you what the problems are, but it tells you where you need to go scout. That’s the real benefit.”

Although there are challenges with operating UAVs, Purdue Extension has tips to counter them.

DRONE CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS 1. Clouds: Broken skies can ruin image quality.

Tip: Fly when skies are fully overcast or clear for optimal image quality.

2. Air traffic: Low-flying aircraft can threaten commercial drone operations.

Carter shared advice for farmers who are interested in using drones.

“If you have an interest in this, No. 1 — make sure you check out the licensing process,” he said.

“The second thing you need to do is make sure your drone fits your application. There’s no sense in spending $25,000 on something you can do with a $1,800 to $2,000 drone.

“If you don’t need true Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, the best thing to look for

Tip: Watch for helicopters or crop dusters — the most common aircraft.

3. Camera settings: Incorrect settings can affect image quality.

Tip: It takes a little experience. Familiarize yourself with general camera settings and know the goals of each particular flight.

4. Structural components: Barns and structures pose a risk to animal safety and the drone.

Tip: Fly around structures, not over them, to maintain animal safety and prevent damage to the drone.

about 50 % of the time in a primary care setting — that’s what we want to see change.”

Diane Hall, senior scientist for policy and strategy at Roy the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, defined mental health during the webinar.

Mental health: A state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.

Mental health is not the same as mental illness, suicide, substance use disorder, or opioid use disorder.

“We all have mental health, and it fluctuates,” Hall said.

“Sometimes day to day, sometimes hour to hour. It can range from excellent mental health to poor mental health.

Rural areas face specific challenges.

Hall “In r u ra l areas, the citizens need to travel further distances in order to get services,” Hall said.

“They may also be less likely to have insurance.

“There are shortages in mental health professionals. Most people do receive care from their primary care physician.

There’s also the issue of acceptability created by stigma, where people don’t feel that it’s acceptable to seek support or assistance.

“Stigma is a critical issue. Not talking about mental healthiness

issues can contribute to stigma.”

Stress levels are on the rise for people across the country, including in rural areas, Hall said.

Healthy behaviors can help people deal with stress.

“We know from our data that only one in four rural adults practices at least four out of the five health-related behaviors: not smoking, maintaining normal body weight, being active, nondrinking or moderating drinking and sufficient sleep,” Hall said.

“If somebody is under stress, they may decide to eat more, that they don’t have the energy to exercise, or decide to drink or smoke as a way to cope.”

It’s crucial to be aware of the signs of mental and behavioral stress.

Hall encouraged rural healthcare professionals to promote emotional well-being.

PEOSTA, Iowa — Being a farmer means dealing with stress and adverse conditions, but mental health can easily be put on the backburner.

“We believe mental health is so critical,” said Natalie Roy, executive director of AgriSafe, during a webinar about mental health in rural areas.

“We can’t strive for total farmer health if we don’t think about someone’s well-being in their mind, as well as their body.”

Rural Americans often lack access to mental health providers, making it more difficult to address depression, anxiety and other problems.

“Seventy-four percent of Americans who seek help for symptoms of depression will go to a primary care provider,” Roy said. “Unfortunately, the diagnosis of depression is missed

and money raised through fundraising, they pooled their urban farm resources to start the program a year ago. Since then, nearly 30 women from Liberty Place have graduated.

They recently applied for a larger grant through the Department of Labor, which would allow the program to serve up to 60 women over the next two years and allow them to hire two graduates on the farm part-time.

UNDERSTANDING ADDICTION “It is important for people working with the program to understand addiction and the many issues that need to be dealt with to be ready to enter the workforce and stay sober and employed,” Cheyenne said.

“No one understands these issues more than a recovered addict.”

Yarnell, a self-described “chronic relapser,” gets it.

“I have charges on my record where I didn’t ever feel like anybody would trust me,” she said. “I don’t want to be that person anymore.”

Harvesting Hope teaches the basics of farming, emphasizes the restorative nature of the physical work it takes to grow something to completion and

the value of providing that harvest to the community.

But it also gives these women a chance to earn money, to become financially literate, learn about job opportunities and to take classes through the New Opportunity School for Women.

Its tack toward job readiness is a model echoed by other addiction recovery programs across Kentucky.

Namely because gainful employment greatly reduces the chances of relapse for those in recovery, said Dr. Amanda Fallin-Bennett, an assistant professor in the University of Kentucky College of Nursing.

A steady job begets other successes. It allows one the freedom to choose to live in a safe and sober place, the ability to pay for insurance to access substance use disorder treatment, and it gives one a predictable schedule again, said Fallin-Bennett, who’s also the program director for Voices of Hope, a recovery support services organization in Lexington.

Criminal records, gaps in employment, or the stigma associated with drug use, however, can pose a threat to one’s marketability as an

employee, she said.

That’s in part why larger business organizations, including the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, are touting the benefits of employing people in recovery.

“People who are in recovery actually take less unscheduled time off than their peers, and they stay with employers at almost identical rates as their coworkers,” Fallin-Bennett said.

But what the program also offers is more intangible. And for most of these women, who’ve spent time in and out of jail, prison and other treatment programs, those offerings are just as, if not more important.

Liberty Place Program Director Alisha Wilhoit said the recovery program is based on a 12-step model.

“We learn we’ve got to change everything about our previous thinking and actions,” she said. “In recovery, there’s a sense of, I’ve worked for this, so I’m going to work harder to keep it.”

Dykes better understands that now.

“You know, I couldn’t accomplish being a mother, I couldn’t be a good girlfriend. I just walked out on my family,” she said.

WHEN IT COMES TO SOYBEAN THREATS, THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE. Primary methods of controlling soybean threats in fields used to be fairly straight forward. Start with the most resistant variety available, and then apply your fungicides and insecticides in a timely manner. Rotating with corn or other non-host crops was always an added management practice many farmers considered. However, there is a trifecta of threats to soybean crops that are increasing in severity and causing drastic economic losses in fields throughout the Midwest.

Sudden Death Syndrome Sudden death syndrome (SDS) occurs when the plant is infected by the fungal pathogen Fusarium virguliforme.

Though symptoms of SDS typically do not appear until later in the growing season, the initial infection occurs only in the growing season.

“Nematodes, white mold, and sudden death syndrome (SDS) are three of the biggest yield-robbers in soybeans,”says Jim Schwartz, director of Practical Farm Research and Agronomy at Beck’s. “Depending on conditions this summer, it’s possible farmers will see an increase in these three threats. Not only are they destructive when they hit, but once present in a field, they’ve proven to be difficult to manage and control.”

Often influenced by weather, SDS is most severe when soybeans are planted early into cool, wet soils that are heavily compacted and poorly drained. Initial symptoms include leaf yellowing and loss of the upper leaves. As it progresses, tissue between the veins will begin to yellow, and eventually the leaf will die while the petiole will remain attached. And here’s the challenge. These symptoms can appear similar to the symptoms caused by brown stem rot, which makes it increasingly difficult to diagnose. There are no corrective actions that control SDS after the infection has occurred.

Nematodes

White Mold

Nematodes are silent killers as the damage they cause is a result of feeding on roots, which can impact plant growth. The bigger issue with this pesky parasite is that their devastation typically occurs below-ground, invisible to the human eye.

White mold (Sclerotinia stem rot) is influenced by weather and thrives in cool, wet conditions and can drastically diminish soybean yields. In the presence of white mold, farmers are often faced with making tough management decisions that leave them choosing between what is best for disease management and what is best for maximum yield potential.

Even if above-ground symptoms do occur because of significant infestation, they can often be confused with other problems such as drought stress or nutrient deficiencies.

Each year, nematodes are responsible for more than $3 billion in losses, with soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) being the most menacing of all. With the potential to cut yields by as much as 30 percent or more, SCN can cause stunting, early death, reduced nodulation, and can serve as an entry point for other diseases.

White mold symptoms first occur during the early reproductive stages and is typically most prominent in products selected for high-yielding environments. Infected fields will see a reduced seed number and weight and also a negative impact on their seed quality and reduced germination. Similar to nematodes and SDS, once white mold symptoms are identified, it’s too late. The damage has been done.

Management Solutions The most important thing farmers can do when looking to control this trifecta of destruction is to be proactive. Always select the highest performing genetically suited soybean variety for your geography. Stay ahead of these threats and work to control them early by utilizing a comprehensive seed treatment to diminish the potential for yield loss. Beck’s now provides farmers with the option to add a broad spectrum nematicide, Nemasect™, as well as modes of action to control SDS and white mold in their fields.

“Over two-year field trials, Nemasect, along with the active ingredients to suppress white mold and SDS have a 2.9 Bu./A. yield advantage when compared to a standard fungicide and insecticide treatment,” says Schwartz. “Escalate, Nemasect, and SDS+ work together to drive performance. The combination of a hard chemistry, a bio-fungicide, and a biostimulant provide effective nematode protection while also controlling SDS and providing suppression of white mold. It really is a complete seed treatment package.”

Includes 8 different modes of action to control or suppress 7 diseases, 5 soil-dwelling insects, and 3 of the most common nematode species.

Beck’s base seed treatment, Escalate®, comes standard on every bag of soybeans at no charge. But because each farm is different and every year is unique, farmers now have the choice to two additional treatment packages so they can select the level of protection that’s right for their operation.

University field day offers info on small-farm crops WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — According to attendees and organizers alike, this year’s Purdue Small Farm Education Field Day, which consisted of lectures and on-farm demonstrations, provided excellent guidance for small-scale growers.

Hosted by Purdue’s Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, the field day featured lectures on planting and sustainability, soil care, high tunnels, cover crops, small-scale equipment, food safety and more.

The day started in a classroom and ended with participants watching and listening to demonstrations put on by Purdue staff at the Student Farm.

“The event was a resounding success,” said Petrus Langenhoven, Purdue’s horticulture and hydroponics crop specialist in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture.

“Attendees love the fact that they can learn some theory in the classroom in the morning and then go for a hands-on session at the farm.

“It’s like you can feel the energy and passion of growers when they attend our field day.”

Langenhoven said the event attracted three times as many participants than the first, which was held last summer.

“We were surprised that interest has grown so much in one year, but it clearly shows that horticulture farmers in Indiana are in need of information to increase the profitability of their farming businesses,” he said.

“Attendees were very engaged and showed lots of interest during the on-farm tours. Some of them have told me it was the best field day they have attended and that they will be back next year.”

“We had more new attendees this year who complimented us on the program. Return attendees said they appreciate keeping up on new educational information to put to good use on their farms,” said Lori Jolly-Brown, Extension events and communications coordinator.

DIVERSE GROUP Participants of the program were a diverse group — from beginners and experienced growers to hobbyists and small business practitioners.

Rocio Rodea, a teacher from Gary, came looking for advice she could apply to a community garden she helped establish and eventually will use as a tool for her students. She was particularly interested in the morning food safety session.

Langenhoven said attendees in general were very attentive and asked a lot of good questions in the morning sessions.

“I was super interested in the food safety portion because Gary has started to put on several farmers markets throughout the week, so every urban farm or garden will have its turn to host,” Rodea said.

Sierra Yeary, a participant hoping to grow some vegetables for a brewery restaurant she is opening next year, learned about cool and warm season vegetables for the first time.

“I didn’t even realize that we should be planting cover crops,” she said. “We only do tomatoes now, and they were saying in the session that we should be planting cool season veggies, too, to keep the soil going. I had no idea.”

Along with a networking lunch, the afternoon consisted of six informational stations where attendees learned about high tunnel tomato and bell pepper production, the practical applications of leaf mold composting, field production of onions and tomatoes, the use of solar dryers for postharvest processing and vegetable wash station design.

“The student farm was a hive of activity with over a hundred people enjoying the perfect weather and exchanging all manner of tricks of the trade,” said

Steve Hallett, a professor of horticulture who presented one of the afternoon stations.

Johnny Washington, a grower with a small vegetable market in Gary, said he learned new techniques to implement on his operation during the afternoon stations.

“I don’t have a hoop house, so sometimes when it rains hard the dirt splashes up onto the leaves, and I learned that can cause diseases,” he said.

“A light bulb sort of went on in my head — so I’ll be looking more closely into

putting plastic around the base of the plants.”

Shelly Janowski and her husband attended the field day to learn new techniques and planning for their already-established small fruit and vegetable farm.

“We’re looking at some of their techniques of planting, weed suppression and harvesting,” she said. “This has been very valuable. If you can learn something to make things easier, to have it take less PROVIDED PHOTO time or increase your production, that could be a Chris Adair, the Purdue Student Farm manager, demonstrates to attendees the different applicagame-changer.” tions of a power harrow and rototiller when used in conjunction with a walk-behind tractor.

Prevent plant cover crops are looking good. Dad and I went for a drive looking at fields and stopped at the sorghum in some of our river bottom ground we couldn’t get into with corn or beans this spring. It’s a lot taller than it looks from the road. Much of the sorghum is pushing 6 to 8 feet tall, and we saw some of the first seed heads emerging at the end of last week. This should provide good feed and tonnage for livestock.

Looking forward to chatting with folks today at the Compeer crop insurance update meeting and later this week at the ADM customer appreciation night.

Stateline Seed Solutions has a customer appreciation night this week, as well. Serving a nice meal with music and getting to know our Pioneer customers and their families will be a fun evening later this week, as well. Have a great week and be extra cautious out on the roadways. Harvest traffic

The 103day corn around the outside of our silage field was 30%, so we’ll probably open the field up on Monday and see what the 112-day corn is testing. Pods on beans are filling nicely with the rains we’ve had. Still could use some more hot dry weather to move things along.

Technologies to reduce ag’s environmental impact

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — An agricultural input company has set a goal to reduce its environmental impact by 30% by 2030.

Bayer aims to achieve this by developing new technologies, scaling down crop protection volumes, and enabling more precise applications. This will help to restore and retain biodiversity, combat climate change and make the most efficient use of natural resources.

Andy Knepp, Bayer director of environmental strategy and industry advocacy, said at the Farm Progress Show that sustainability is more than just a catchphrase for his company.

“For us as a company, sustainability is embedded into how we develop products.” Knepp said.

“As we look at what we’re doing in our research pipeline, as we

think about new biotechnology products — new seed treatments, biologicals, microbials, any of those things — we’re looking at what are the environmental benefits, how do they help farmers do what they do well, which is grow corn and soybeans, how do we help farmers do what they need to do in a way that’s actually more sustainable,” he said.

“So, it is really very much embedded into who we are as an organization. And really if we think about technology and innovation from a long term perspective, it’s always with the eye towards how do we get better, how do we use less resources so that we have the smallest impact on the environment, understanding that there are still a lot of mouths to feed.”

Concerns about how the food is grown and the environment provides a major opportunity for agriculture.

“We view farmers as stewards of the land.”

Andy Knepp, director of environmental strategy and industry advocacy BAYER

“We view farmers as stewards of the land. Most farmers I think would also view themselves that way. We look at the opportunity today to really work closely with farmers, work closely with other interested organizations to really demonstrate how ag can actually be part of the solution to a lot of the environmental challenges, whether that would be water quality, greenhouse gas emission, or you hear a lot of discussion around climate change,” Knepp said.

“We see a huge opportunity for technology to really be the answer to a lot of the challenges we face in ag.”

Bayer has partnered with several environmental groups and growers’ associations and is among the founding members of the Soil Health Partnership.

“We are working with groups like the National Corn Growers Association to see how we can actually make sure in this conversation about soil health that we generate the data, because I think a lot of the data didn’t really exist,” Knepp said.

The data is used to answer questions about soil health, how soil health benefits farmers and the environment and what steps are needed to improve soil health.

“So, obviously, the conversation around cover crops and around reduced tillage is nothing new to farmers, but maybe in

terms of how do we get the data, how do we work with farmers in a network to really drive home the benefits and really drive towards the adoption of these practices,” Knepp said.

“We see a great opportunity for ag to say, look, we know there are challenges that we face, we do see issues related to water quality and soil erosion, but here are the practices, here are the ways we can actually work to address those.

“For us, a lot of it is really working through partnerships. Bayer is just one company, we’re just one voice, we love offering products and technology, but how do those products and technologies fit into the broader context of what’s going on in our environment.”

From the Field with AgriGold: How Your Harvest View Can Inform Seed Selection Growers can learn about how their seed genetics performed by looking at clues in their fields at harvest. Getting out ahead of the combine to take notes about what they see is the first step to improving hybrid selection for the coming year.

Compare stalks at black layer.

AgriGold hybrids have a very specific look: brown husks on green plants. This indicates that carbohydrates are produced by the corn plant to the very end of seed fill. Many hybrids have brown stalks with dead tissue, meaning photosynthesis stopped before ears reached their full yield potential. This “die and dry” not only limits yields, it can cause standability issues.

Examine stalk diameter and ear fill. Stalk diameters should be consistent, and ears should have the same number of rows and kernels in a row. The more uniformity, the better your yield prospect.

Look at kernel dent. Kernel dent is also an indicator of

Customers can also use digital tools such as Climate FieldView™ and Advantage Acre® to account for weather and other environmental factors in the planning process.

Mente’s final piece of advice is to plan for a typical year.

“Each season is a little bit different, and some years are total outliers. Don’t base your seed selection on the odd ones. It’s best to plan and select for what you consider typical for your farm,” said Mente.

HOLSim program launched A.C. McCartney Equipment purchases Merema Bros Inc. BOZEMAN, Mont. — The American Simmental Association and Holstein Association USA have announced the formation of the HOLSim branded program.

The program identifies elite SimAngus bulls with specific production attributes as mating solutions for dairy producers who breed some of their herd to beef.

The program’s objective is threefold: to provide additional revenue to dairy producers through the production of value-added terminal calves; to offer new marketing avenues for progressive beef seedstock operations; and to offer a consistent supply of high-quality calves better situated to capture market premiums.

“Holstein producers now have the opportunity to easily participate by simply selecting from the list of HOLSim bulls carried by their semen provider,” said Chip Kemp, ASA director of commercial and industry operations.

“Through the International Genetic Solutions platform, we took a breed agnostic look at what type of beef bulls make the most sense to complement a Holstein female to add the most profitability to the terminal calf.”

Qualifying for the sire list is not easy, and bulls that do so represent an elite group of beef genetics.

All bulls in the program will be required to include the HOLSim logo in all marketing and promotional material.

“The bulls must be homozygous black, homozygous polled, have a minimum birth weight accuracy of .4, and meet a minimum threshold in the HOLSim Index,” Kemp explained.

The HOLSim Index uses the IGS Feeder Profit Calculator, the industry leader in feeder cattle evaluation, as the foundation for this effort.

The results from the FPC are then adjusted for the unique economic situations relevant to Holstein cattle, namely, the need for added calving ease, muscle conformation, grading ability and sensitivity to carcass length.

John Meyer, CEO of Holstein Association USA, said the HOLSim program has the potential to

change the beef-on-dairy dynamic.

“Instead of just breeding Holsteins to a black beef bull, now dairy farmers can breed to a SimAngus bull that ranks high on the HOLSim index. By doing that, they can raise more profitable offspring coveted by both the feedlot and the consumer,” Meyer said.

The program is underpinned by HAUSA’s industry-leading animal identification program, something that will add increasing value in the marketplace as consumers require more information about where their food comes from.

From The Barns Learn and grow Most years, we are well into chopping silage and hurrying so the corn doesn’t get too dry on us. This year, not so much.

If we get started by the first of October, I will be surprised.

While the cool weather has been much to the liking of this somewhat hefty writer, it has not been conducive to maturing the corn crop. The sorghum-sudangrass we planted after wheat harvest is working out great. It’s about shoulder high and really growing. I expect we will harvest this crop right after the frost finishes it off. Some of our early planted sorghum will possibly be the first thing we chop. What a crazy year!

We weaned a couple loads of our Georgia calves right on the truck and shipped them straight to Illinois. We had a little pneumonia show up about 10 days in, but the calves responded well to treatment and are now out on pasture with supplemental feed. Drew and I are going to make a flying trip back to Georgia to snag a couple more loads so that project is completed before we get into harvest.

The cattle on feed have been increasing on intake with this cooler weather. We have had a couple respiratory issues flare up, probably caused by the same cool weather. Customer cattle are moving in steadily depending on pasture conditions where they are being held out on the farm. October looks to be a big, busy month. Pasture conditions all summer have

been just awesome, and the cows and calves look the part.

I expect some heavy weights come weaning time.

I like to share screw ups in this column, as well as successes, and I learned a valuable lesson recently that I would like to prevent any other reader repeating. We seed sorghum-sudangrass all the time by blending it with urea fertilizer and then spreading it with an air flow seeder followed by incorporation with a soil finisher. The lesson: We started working the wheat field up for seeding.

I called Joe at FS and said “mix it and bring it out.” He did. After the fact, we realized we couldn’t get the wheat stubble to work down without an extra pass, and being late Friday afternoon, I sent the seed and fertilizer mix back to town while we got the field in shape over the weekend. That turned out to be a good-intentioned, big boo-boo.

Evidently, urea over 48 hours kills off seed — and I mean all of it. The dry spell we went through masked the issue as I was thinking the soil was too dry for germination. By the time I figured out what had happened, it was too late to replant. Not all was lost, however. I just used the field to pump manure on, and as soon as it dries out, we will seed wheat and, possibly, turnips for fall grazing.

As I continue to hobble around as I recuperate from the dumb stuff of the previous season, I feel compelled to remind everyone to be safe as we charge headlong into fall harvest.

Steve Foglesong ASTORIA

Time to get real My local supermarket is so crowded with multiple choices of many products that they now set some displays in the middle of the aisle.

There is barely room for the shopping cart to get down the aisle. Apparently, the consumers are demanding this many different choices. I am just a simple meat and potatoes customer, so I find this hard to understand.

This must be the reason that some people want to try meatless meat. I am wondering if they realize that those “meets” — I will use that spelling since those products are not meat or beef — may not fulfill their nutrient needs, or may even contain ingredients that are not that good. They fall far short of matching the flavor of beef and may not come close to being the nutrient rich package in beef.

The ZIP of beef — zinc, iron and protein in a three- or fourounce serving — is hard to beat.

Can you name a “fake” product that is as good as the genuine one? The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is working hard to assure that any meatless “meet” cannot be labeled beef.

Hope they are successful.

I just returned from the fall Ag Roundtable at WRAM Radio in Monmouth and sponsored, in part, by FS. Vanessa Wetterling is a great moderator and was joined by DeLoss Jahnke and Mike Adams.

Those sessions are always fun to participate in and seem worthwhile for listeners. Much of the discussion centered on the declined ag economy stemming from trade and

I was able to talk about “fake meet” and the importance of premises identification with the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Please register your premises if you have livestock and help assure that we have a better chance of controlling any disease outbreak.

Our grazing is really going very well right now with a nice 2-inch rain to spur our forage along. The steers look as though they are doing something and have provided us with a better look than earlier in the summer.

The scales will eventually tell the tale of success or failure. We are in the stockpile season with our fescue paddocks. We had to clip some of them due to the influx of foxtail. I never have seen it this bad. Another quirk of 2019.

Last week, I presented on management intensive rotational grazing to the Warren County Soil and Water District.

An attentive audience with good questions made for a good evening. Someday, I hope to visit their pastures along U.S. 34 where they have used an Environmental Quality Incentives Program project to upgrade property.

really haven’t had extreme heat to go along with it. The summer stress on the animals has been relatively low, excluding the swarms of insects. Sometimes there is no answer for the horn flies and big horse flies.

The crops are looking better than average for our area, as well as the hay crops. We are about to get into what looks like a bumper crop. I know the rain has been spotty all across the Midwest, but Saline County has had more than its share. We never thought we had a chance back in the middle of June, but this might be a good year after all. Time will tell. Nobody has started to this point. It will be a late harvest, to say the least.

Our recip cows are starting to calve out this month. It has been several years since we have had fall born calves here at our farm.

The herd is beginning to get quite colorful. He mentioned when they put the embryos in that they might not all be black. Dang, he was right. We have had a couple of Charolais, a Limousin and several Herefords. It sounded like there is a Shorthorn on the way also. This was done for hire, so the calves aren’t staying after they are weaned. I can’t say that is disappointing, but so far the calving has went well.

BOZEMAN, Mont. — U.S. cattlemen and women have successf ully improved beef quality during the last several decades, yet capturing widespread carcass data proves elusive. The most important traits are still among the most difficult to predict.

A large-scale project from the American Simmental Association aims to change some of that — and arm ranchers with more accurate decision-making tools.

“Over time, we’ve leveraged new technologies like ultrasound to help bolster information about end product attributes into our genetic evaluation systems.

However, as we look at different breeds, on average, between half and 1% reporting rate of the number of calves born every year make it into our carcass data evaluation,” said Bob Weaber of Kansas State University.

“Carcass data is an area that’s expensive to measure, but we know it’s very important. All of the new dollars that come into the beef business come from somebody buying a piece of beef.”

That’s why the ASA recently launched an expansive new project that pairs actual carcass records with genomic data on sire-identified calves. The Carcass Expansion Project aims to boost total carcass records and to train genomic panels to more accurately predict carcass traits.

Rancher Tracy Brunner of Cow Camp Ranch near Ramona, Kansas, is a participant and says the project has merit for all producers.

“This is not about just gathering carcass data.

It’s not just a win for the individual animal owner.

It benefits the cattle that are available to our consumer, industr y-w ide,” Brunner said. “All the information that we gather will develop better and more accurate EPDs that will lead to better consumer products.”

ASA’s Board of Trustees invested significantly toward the five-year project, open to seedstock members and their commercial customers with SimGenetic influence.

Why squash blossoms drop

By B. Rosie Lerner

A common complaint among vegetable gardeners is that their squash plants have a lot of flowers, but many of them just fall off without producing any fruit.

This same observation can be made of cucumbers, melons, pumpkins and gourds, all of which are collectively known as “vine” crops to home gardeners. These plants are all members of the Cucurbitaceae family and also are commonly referred to as “cucurbits.”

All of these vine crops produce separate male and female flowers, but usually there are both types on the same plant. For a fruit to be produced, pollen must be successfully transferred from the male flower to the female flower.

In the garden, pollen transfer is conducted primarily by bees. If pollen does not successfully unite with the egg cells within the female flowers, then no fruit will be produced and the female flowers will abort.

It is easy to tell the difference between female and male flowers in this group of plants. Female flowers look as if they have a miniature fruit — squash, cucumber, gourd and so forth — just below where the petals are attached. Male flowers simply have a slender stalk below the petals.

If the male flowers are the ones falling off, this is normal. Often, the very first flush of flowers early in the growing season will only be males, and, of course, these male flowers are expected to fall

off after pollen is shed.

The next flush of flowers should include both male and female flowers.

However, if female flowers are the ones dropping, then it is safe to conclude that some factor is preventing successful pollination. The most common culprits include excessively hot or cold temperatures and lack of bee activity due to weather, low population and so forth.

Some commonly used insecticides, including carbaryl, or Sevin, are highly toxic to bees, so if you must apply such products, time your sprays for periods when the bees are not active.

Fall Getaway Krape Park combines tradition, imagination

By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

F R EEP ORT, Il l. — “Come with me and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination,” go the lyrics from the famous song in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

The authors of the song might have had Krape Park in Freeport in mind when they wrote the lyrics.

“It becomes an emotional connection, that is what we have in this park,” said Jack Carey, executive director of the Freeport Park District.

Krape is the largest park in the Freeport Park District, stretching over 135 acres on the southwest corner of the city of Freeport.

The park is a perfect recipe containing all the ingre- A family enjoys a cruise down Yellow Creek in one of Krape Park’s dragon paddleboats. The paddleboats can be rented on weekends through the end of September. dients of a child’s imagination.

The crown jewel and centerpiece is the carousel, installed in 1959, updated earlier this year, painted with scenes from around Freeport and complete with lights and fancifully-decorated steeds. Just 50 cents buys a twirl on the popular attraction.

Just a few hundred yards away is a massive wooden playground, Kids Kastle, which was built by volunteers.

Nearby, a smaller scale playground offers a place to play for younger kids. The Freeport Fire Department vintage fire engine is housed in an open-air shelter next to a tower with an old-time fire pole.

A bandshell hosts concerts throughout the year as well as private events, including weddings.

The park’s shelters are in use nearly constantly “Whoofle” is a dragon sculpture that the late Anna Belle Koenig The Krape Park Carousel is an Allan Herschell-style county fair carousel that can be considered Nimmo gave to Krape Park.

Fall Getaway Indiana corn maze voted nation’s best LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A corn maze near Lafayette that is designed to commemorate Purdue University’s “150 Years of Giant Leaps” has won USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards for best corn maze.

The maze at Exploration Acres, 6042 Newcastle Road, Lafayette, topped mazes around the nation in the contest. Voting took place over a four-week period that ended Aug. 26.

Covering more than 18 acres and featuring 494,000 stalks of corn, Exploration Acres is northwest Indiana’s largest corn maze and pumpkin patch.

Its design includes images of alumnus Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, and Amelia Earhart, the first woman to attempt to circumnavigate the globe and an adviser for young women at Purdue in the 1930s.

The 2019 nominees were selected

by USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice panel, and the winners were chosen by public online vote.

Exploration Acres will open Sept.

13 and will remain open until Oct. 27. Tickets are available online or may be purchased upon arrival.

Lifestyle TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Varying heart attack symptoms Online lotharios’

By Dr. Keith Roach

My very healthy husband collapsed and died on the way to the hospital. They worked on him for a long time, but could not revive him. They didn’t do an autopsy, and they declared his death as “atherosclerotic vascular disease.� He was 79 years old and had no health problems. He came into the house and said that something was in his throat and he couldn’t swallow. He tried to cough it up, but nothing came up. He then collapsed.

He had no pain. I am still puzzled by that symptom of a heart attack. Have you ever heard of that? I am really curious and still in shock. I hope you can explain.

I am very sorry to hear about your husband. I think he likely did have a heart attack, which is the leading cause of death in the industrialized world.

Although many people have symptoms of heart disease that they ignore, some people have no symptoms until sudden

death. Atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries due to cholesterol plaque and calcium in the blood vessels of the heart, almost always is present in people with a heart attack.

The initial symptom of a heart attack varies widely.

Throat discomfort is not rare. Cough is a common symptom, as the heart becomes damaged and the pressure in the lungs increases.

The classic symptom of chest pain certainly does happen, but there are many variations. Both men and women can have atypical presentations.

My husband has Parkinson’s disease. He also has a stent in his heart. We have been to many doctors to address a breathing problem: fast breathing. He experiences this daily, and we are told that it is anxiety. It is difficult to watch him go through this. It sometimes happens before he is due for his Sinemet, but other times right after taking it. He has

The Best In Drainage Management

been prescribed Xanax, clonidine, cannabidiol-infused gummies and a few others.

One doctor says it is from Parkinson’s, but the rest say it is anxiety.

Shortness of breath can have many causes, but someone with Parkinson’s disease has an unusual possibility, called “respiratory dyskinesia� — which just means “abnormal movement of the muscles of breathing.�

This is an involuntary rapid breathing that causes distress, and it usually happens an hour after taking a medication like Sinemet.

Changing the dose can help with diagnosis, and working with a neurologist to adjust the dose of the Sinemet — which comes in fast-acting and slow-release formulations — can solve the problem.

I would start with an expert on Parkinson’s.

Keeping a diary of when

he takes his medication and when the breathing trouble starts and stops will be helpful, as would a video of what it looks like when happening.

Having Parkinson’s doesn’t make someone less likely to have other causes of shortness of breath, and anyone with a stent in the heart — meaning a history of blockages of at least one heart artery — is at risk of developing further blockages. Poor blood ow to the heart is another potential cause.

Get the Parkinson’s evaluation ďŹ rst. I would not recommend anti-anxiety medications unless there is clear evidence of beneďŹ t. Ascribing a physical symptom like shortness of breath to anxiety without a thorough workup is unwise. Š 2019 North America Synd., Inc.

only love is money

By Matilda Charles

Think you’re immune from getting scammed in an online romance?

Think again.

Authorities recently charged 80 people with running scams around the world designed to defraud women of money. Only 17 of those crooks have actually been arrested as authorities try to hunt down the rest — no easy feat when it comes to dealing with other countries.

In one scam, a Japanese woman fell for a man she believed was a U.S. soldier in Syria.

She hooked up with him through an online pen pal site. In reality, he was in Los Angeles and was part of a whole crew of thieves. In less

than a year she sent him $200,000 — money she had to borrow.

One problem is that these investigations take so long. The one above started in 2016. You can’t start an online relationship and two weeks later decide to check the news to see if there is a current investigation or string of arrests.

These online scammers are experts at what they do. They follow cleverly written scripts when they woo women. They look for your weak points. If you send someone money, understand that you’ll never see it again.

If anyone asks you to send money, make a report to the authorities. Š 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Lifestyle YOUR GARDENING CHECKLIST FOR SEPTEMBER INDOOR PLANTS AND ACTIVITIES n Prepare storage areas for

overwintering tender flower bulbs and garden produce. n Thanksgiving, or Christmas, cactus can be forced into bloom for the Thanksgiving holidays. Provide 15 hours of complete darkness each day, for instance, from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m., for approximately eight weeks. Keep temperature at about 60 to 65 degrees.

Temperatures of 55 degrees will cause flower buds to set without dark treatment. n Dig and repot herbs, or take cuttings, for growing indoors over winter. n Store leftover garden seed in a cool, dry place. A sealable jar with a layer of silica gel or powdered milk in the bottom works well. n Bring houseplants moved outside for summer indoors before night temperatures fall below 55 degrees. Gradually decrease light to acclimate the plants and help reduce leaf drop. Check and control insects and diseases before putting these plants near other houseplants. n Poinsettias saved from last year can be re-flowered for this year’s holiday by providing complete darkness for 15 hours daily from about Oct. 1 until about Dec. 10.

LAWNS, WOODY ORNAMENTALS AND FRUITS n Fall is a good time to plant

many container-grown or balled-and-burlapped nursery stock. Prepare a good-size hole, plant at the same depth it grew in the nursery and water thoroughly. Mulching will help protect against large fluctuations in soil temperature and moisture. Wrap young, thinbarked tree trunks to protect against frost cracks or animal damage, but be prepared to remove the wraps by early spring. n Harvest apples, pears, grapes and ever-bearing strawberries and raspberries. For most fruits, flavor is the best indicator of ripeness, although color change also can be a good indicator.

However, pears are best ripened off the tree, and grapes change color long before they are fully flavored, so sample the fruit to be sure. n Remove raspberry canes after they bear fruit. n Reseed bare spots or new lawns using a good-quality seed mixture. Seeding in late summer allows the turf to maximize its establishment and rooting prior to the next summer’s heat and drought.

For more information, see n September and October are appropriate months to apply broadleaf weed killers to the lawn. Be sure to follow all label directions and choose a calm day to prevent spray drift.

FLOWERS, VEGETABLES AND SMALL FRUITS n Dig onions and garlic after

tops fall over naturally and necks begin to dry. n Plant radishes, green onion sets, lettuce and spinach for fall harvest. n Thin fall crops such as lettuce and carrots that were planted earlier. n Harvest crops such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons and sweet potatoes before frost, or cover plants with blankets, newspaper and so forth — but not plastic — to protect them from light frost. n Mature green tomatoes can be ripened indoors. Individually wrap fruits in newspaper, or leave them on the vine, pulling the entire plant out of the garden. Store in a cool location — about 55 to 60 degrees. n Harvest winter squash when mature — skin is tough — with deep, solid color, but before hard frost. Some cultivars will show an orange blush when mature. n Plant, transplant or divide peonies, daylilies, iris and phlox only if you can apply irrigation during dry spells. n Save plants such as coleus, wax begonias, impatiens or fuchsia for indoor growing over winter. Dig plants and cut them back about halfway, or take cuttings of shoot tips and root them in moist vermiculite, soil mix or perlite. n Watch for garden chrysanthemums to bloom as days grow shorter. Some may have bloomed earlier this summer, which will decrease the number of fall blooms. n Plant spring-flowering bulbs beginning in late September.

DONNA’S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUN

Wrap up summer harvest with ribbon salad

By Donna Erickson

Wrap up the last of summer’s harvest with colorful ribbons of orange, green, yellow and red. Abundant zucchini, summer squash and carrots can be woven together with fettuccine pasta for a tasty supper your family will enjoy from preparation to the last bite.

Hand each of your preteen kids their own veg-

etable peeler, give them a few tips for honing ribbon-making skills, and they’ll keep busy and feel useful cutting vegetables while you cook up the pasta. A healthy supper will be ready in minutes.

To find more of Donna Erickson’s creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday. com. Š 2019 Donna Erickson distributed by King Features Synd.

Vegetable Ribbon Salad Servings: 4 to 6 INGREDIENTS 8 ounces fettuccine pasta, cooked, drained and rinsed in cool water 1 to 2 small-size green zucchini 1 yellow summer squash 2 medium-size carrots 1 scallion 1/2 fresh red pepper (optional) 1/2 cup of your favorite vinaigrette-style salad dressing or traditional vinaigrette 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Chopped parsley or basil PROCEDURE Trim off the ends of the zucchini, squash and carrots.

Use a vegetable peeler to cut the vegetables lengthwise

into long, thin, ribbon-like strips. When you reach the inner seeds of the zucchini and summer squash, stop and continue slicing the other side.

Discard the centers. Place all the vegetable ribbons into a large bowl.

Trim off the green ends of the scallion. Tear them into thin long strips with your fingers.

Add to the vegetables.

Add pasta and toss lightly with your favorite vinaigrette dressing or prepare the basic recipe below. Cut thin slices of the red pepper and arrange on top, if you wish. Top with grated Parmesan and parsley or basil. Serve with French bread.

Tip: If your kids love apples, add one to the salad for sweetness. Peel, core and cut an apple into 4 slices. Peel strips from each slice and add to the vegetable ribbons.

Lovely thin ribbons of tender garden-fresh produce, such as the zucchini, squash and carrots in this salad, can create a simple yet stunning dish.

Basic Vinaigrette INGREDIENTS 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 cup white wine or sherry vinegar 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

PROCEDURE In a small bowl, let one child whisk the salt, mustard and vinegar together. While whisking, another child may slowly add the oil in a stream

until the mixture is wellcombined. Store covered at room temperature for a week or in the refrigerator for a month.

Makes 1 cup.

Plan Now for Fall Nitrogen Applications Challenging is how most growers in Illinois would describe this past growing season. The ZHDWKHU WKLV \HDU PDGH LW GLIƇFXOW WR JHW RXW LQWR WKH ƇHOGV DQG those that didn’t apply nitrogen last fall had additional issues trying to put it down in spring without causing compaction problems.

As you begin to make your plans for this year’s fall nitrogen applications, consider the best practice recommendations used by a fellow grower. Tim Laatsch is the technical agronomy manager for Koch Agronomic Services, and he knows this region since he’s been farming in Illinois for the past 20 years. “Growers in our state know it’s important to follow the 4R nutrient stewardship practices to prevent nutrient losses. Mini-

mizing the potential for that loss allows us to more sustainably manage our agriculture production systems,� said Laatsch.

According to Laatsch, keep these three things in mind: •

Apply nitrogen and inhibitors at the right time to protect your fertilizer until the crop needs it.

To keep applied nitrogen in the ammonium form longer and minimize loss, wait to apply fall anhydrous until the 4-inch soil temperature has fallen below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

•

•

Developing a split-application plan can help reduce your

Illinois Insurance Hotline: More crashes during summer, early fall months SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Statistics from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety indicate motorists have more crashes during summer and early fall months. The Illinois Insurance Hotline, an industry-sponsored consumer outreach, offered suggestions to help drivers reach their destinations safely in the months ahead.

Limit distractions: The cell phone is an obvious distraction, but routine activities shift the driver’s attention away from the road, as well.

Take time to adjust radio and temperature control, program a navigational device and secure loose objects before leaving the

driveway. Pull off the road to eat, drink and respond to cell phone messages. Make a conscious decision to focus on driving each time you get behind the wheel.

Always wear a seat belt: Seat belts keep occupants secure when a crash suddenly alters vehicle trajectory. Illinois law requires all passengers buckle up.

Place pets inside crates to keep them safe. Be sure everyone in the vehicle has a seat belt on before engaging the vehicle.

Drive defensively: Follow traffic laws and be aware of other motorists on the road. Obey the posted speed limit. Signal turns and lane changes. Avoid

Joining the jet set Technology could boost efficiency and lower emissions of combustion engines WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — The same technology used in jets soon may be powering personal cars and other automobiles.

Purdue University researchers are now working to develop pre-chamber technology for automobiles to replace conventional spark plugs.

A tiny chamber, called a pre-chamber, is filled with a mixture of fuel and air.

The mixture ignites, producing combustion, and

tiny holes in the bottom of the chamber release the hot combustion products in the form of powerful jets, which penetrate into the main chamber and cause ignition.

Compared with traditional spark ignition, this method provides a large surface for multiple-site ignition and fast flame propagation and enhances the overall combustion efficiency. Both passive and active pre-chambers are

being considered.

For the former, the main-chamber mixture is pushed into the pre-chamber by compression stroke through the tiny holes; and for the latter, additional fueling is supplied to the pre-chamber to facilitate leaner operation of the main combustion chamber.

“We have great potential at Purdue for research into automotive technology and the engines of the future,” said Li Qiao, an associate professor of aeronautics and astronautics in Purdue’s College of Engineering.

“This pre-chamber jet ignition technology is an example of how researchers across engineering and

Qiao and the team are working with the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization to patent their technology. They are looking for additional partners.

Scientists use giraffe dung to make biofuels WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — People use enzymes to create fuels from plants, fungi to produce antimalarial drugs and E. coli bacteria to generate life-saving insulin. These systems are attractive because they are sustainable and rely on renewable plant biomass, but they are still wildly inefficient.

Kev in Solomon, a Purdue assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, plans to improve the efficiency by using giraffe, wildebeest, zebra and horse dung and a U.S. Department of Energy Career Award, which supports the development of research programs by outstanding scientists early in their careers.

The DOE will provide $750,000 over five years to fund his proposal, “Genetic Tools to Optimize Lignocellulose Conversion in Anaerobic Fungi and Interrogate Their Genomes.”

of enzymes as teeth, these fungi have more teeth than other organisms, allowing them to break down trees and other plant materials more easily.”

With this award, Solomon envisions developing CRISPR Cas9 gene-editing technologies and other approaches to modify these fungi to create fuel or medicines in a one-step process.

“Essentially you would feed engineered fungi grass, and out would come medicine or fuel,” he said.

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has funded Solomon’s previous work. With the Early Career Award, he’ll leverage the high resolution systems biology resources of DOE labs and develop collaborations with government scientists and agencies.

“Kevin’s work holds the potential to turn plentiful, renewable resources into valuable products that improve the quality of life for humans,” said Bernie Engel, associate dean of research and graduate education for Purdue’s College of Agriculture.

Research on antibiotic alternatives

Raber Packing Co. is planning a new building following a November 2018 fire.

‘Insure’ against the unexpected

By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

PEKIN, Ill. — When Raber’s Packing Co. was destroyed by fire in November 2018, one of the first question employees had was if they would still have a job — and a paycheck.

Owner Buddy Courdt had made sure of that when he took over the family business.

“My mom asked me that night, are all the employees getting paid, and I said as far as I know, they are.

We pretty much got confirmation of that the next day, and we knew that everything was probably going to be OK,” Courdt said.

Courdt did an extensive review of his business’s insurance when he took over as owner. While the building that housed the meat processing business was over 60 years old, Courdt wanted to make sure that

the insurance coverage would allow him to replace it if anything happened.

“I went over our insurance the first year really diligently because, at my age, I wanted to be able to rebuild and I wanted to be able to pay my employees while I rebuilt and that was really only all I asked the insurance about, was to be able to rebuild and I want to be able to pay the employees,” Courdt said.

Courdt’s example is a good one to follow for other business owners, including farmers, said Tony Laesch, Illinois Valley agency manager for Country Financial.

Country Financial isn’t Courdt’s insurance agency, but Laesch offered some tips about how and when to do a review of your insurance coverage and what to consider.

“One of our goals is to offer all of our customers an annual review. Do it once a year. I would say

14273 IL Rte 73, Lanark, IL 61046 (844) 493-6787 www.eandsequipment.com

at the minimum every two to three years. I wouldn’t go any longer than three years,” Laesch said.

T he insurance that Courdt had included insuring against business interruption.

“People will buy commercial policies or business owners will buy extra coverage for business interruption, meaning if their business gets interrupted because of a claim, a fire or vandalism, tornado, things like that, the policy will pay for the interrupted business.

When they don’t have revenues coming in, the policy will help make up those revenues,” Laesch said.

W hen home ow ner s and farm owners make changes and updates to their property, whether it’s updating a kitchen, adding a family room or building a new machine shed or barn, that means it’s time to review the insurance coverage.

“Those types of things should definitely trigger a ‘let’s sit down and review’ because your current coverage probably isn’t going to be adequate,” Laesch said.

For farmers, that also includes when they purchase new or newer equipment but older and depreciating equipment also can impact insurance coverage and premiums.

“It’s going through that farm personal property inventor y and making sure we have right values.

Whether we’ve got equipment that’s depreciated down some or you haven’t bought any equipment, so we can lower some insurance or we need to raise some insurance because you’ve added equipment or livestock,” Laesch said.

A review also can help guard that there is enough coverage and that losses won’t be penalized due to

It was a one-two knockout punch. The combination of winter kill and the devastating spring planting season had everybody been scrambling for emergency forage.

inadequate coverage.

“On the farm policy, like on a lot of commercial policies, if you don’t insure to a certain percentage, there are some co-insurance penalties that can come in. What the co-insurance acts is like a larger deductible. If you are not insurance 80% to value, what I mean by that is that we add up all your farm and personal property and it adds up to a million dollars, but you are only insuring it at $700,000. You have a large loss and we see that you insured it for $700,000. One hundred percent would have been $1 million. There could be a co-insurance penalty that applies and that co-insurance penalty is basically like an extra deductible that they have to pay or a deduction from their payment,” Laesch said.

A review can help farmers understand the rules that apply to co-insurance.

“The key is to be cognizant of any co-insurance rules and that goes also for commercial buildings, because a lot of commercial policies have co-insurance rules,” Laesch said.

Immunotherapies for livestock explored in new Zoetis facility

FORT COLLINS, Colo.

— Zoetis has signed an agreement with Colorado State University to establish a research lab at CSU that will explore the livestock immune system and target new immunotherapies — paving the way for new alternatives to antibiotics in food-producing animals.

The new, 3,000-squarefoot Zoetis Incubator Research Lab will operate at the Research Innovation Center on CSU’s Foothills Campus starting in early 2020.

In this landmark R&D collaboration, Zoetis scientists will be co-located with CSU’s highly skilled scientists, core laboratories, research programs and services to seed innovations for livestock animal health.

While the Zoetis Incubator Research Lab will reside within CSU’s Research Innovation Center, it will be part of the company’s global R&D organization.

As a result, Zoetis may access a greater understanding of the livestock immune system, generating new candidates for further research and development. The initial focus of the Incubator Research Lab will be biotherapeutics for cattle, which could yield broader implications for pigs and poultry.

It gets better.

Building on the success of our summer annual emergency forage mixes, we’ve developed three new fall forage mixes especially formulated for quick forage this fall and, if needed, forage next spring.

es today for treating lifethreatening bacter ial infections in animals, Zoetis supports the responsible use of antibiotic medicines in animals and in people, while ensuring that veterinarians and livestock producers have new and enhanced solutions to better predict, prevent, detect and treat disease in the animals under their care.

These include new classes of antibiotics for veterinary use only and novel, non-antibiotic anti-infective treatments like those being pursued through the Zoetis Incubator Research Lab. As part of the new lab, Zoetis expects to hire up to 20 livestock research scientists, immunologists and cell biologists in Fort Collins beginning this fall.

“Zoetis is committed to continuous innovation and going where the science is. CSU is at the forefront of infectious disease innovation and animal health research in a vibrant biotech community, making it the ideal environment for our Incubator Research Lab,” said Chad Ray, senior director of Global Therapeutics Research for Zoetis.

For CSU, the strategic new lab will provide multiple benefits for the campus community and the city of Fort Collins.

BOZEMAN, Mont. — The American Simmental Association recently initiated a large genotyping project to collect more carcass records and genotypes on sire-identified terminal calves to improve progeny equivalents for carcass traits.

All har vested cattle will be genotyped and the resulting data will be incorporated into the International Genetic Solutions Multi-breed Genetic Evaluation powered

by BOLT. The beef industry has seen vast improvements in carcass quality over time through genetic selection.

With these improvements the average feedlot steer can be expected to have a larger ribeye, a higher degree of marbling, and less external fat than cattle 20 years ago.

But progress is slow when it comes to carcass trait selection.

Carcass trait predictions tend to have lower accuracy than growth traits, which inherently slows down the amount of genetic progress made over time. The ability to predict carcass traits is tied to collecting actual carcass records, which is the rarest form of data submitted.

Genomics and ultrasound records can improve accuracy on unproven animals, but high accuracy carcass EPDs cannot be obtained without actual carcass records on progeny.

ISA explores regenerative ag Illinois soybean farmers have become familiar with the term sustainability as it is applied to our production practices. Now, we are learning the term regenerative agriculture may be better.

Regenerative agriculDoug ture is defined as more Schroeder than just agronomic stewardship for soil, Illinois water and nutrient Soybean flows. It’s a conservation and rehabilitative Association approach to farming systems that focuses on regenerating topsoil, improving the water cycle, increasing biodiversity, supporting carbon sequestration and increasing the ability of our land to persevere through climate extremes.

The Illinois Soybean Association checkoff program is assessing how farmers might benefit from regenerative agriculture’s practical applications in soybean production and its potential for greater profitability.

The existing body of research and data surrounding regenerative agriculture shows it can be profitable. When more money stays on the farm, it improves agronomic and farm financial outcomes, bolsters rural economies and provides environmental benefits.

Potential for increased profitability stems from a combination of things, including more stable yields and lower input costs. Already, the industry is starting to see some supplemental or alternative revenue streams come into regenerative farming systems.

They’re not mature yet, but carbon, water and biodiversity markets are emerging that can pay farmers to provide some of these eco-system services.

Differentiated crop quality also may offer additional value.

ISA, through a recent ILSoyAdvisor webinar, asked Kristine Nichols, a soil microbiologist and founder of KRIS Systems Education and Consultation, to share her research.

Nichols focuses on the impact of cropping and grazing systems on soil microbiology, nutrient cycling and soil aggregation to improve soil health and water quality.

She says a microscopic fungus known as mycorrhizal fungi that already exists in the soil can change the way plants get nutrients and water, aid in disease resistance and help plants engineer soil structure to reduce erosion and soil loss. The fungi colonize the plant root system, giving the growing crop greater water and nutrient absorption capabilities and assisting soil aggregation.

Important processes, as soil health is critical to our future as soybean farmers.

Nichols has done the math on vast topsoil losses in the United States and based on the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture data available, she says in 2014 the country lost 1.6 billion metric tons of topsoil.

If you loaded that amount of soil into boxcars, the length of the train to hold all of it would circle the globe seven times. And that is just one year’s worth of loss. Agricultural productivity is in severe jeopardy if that continues.

Farmers by nature always look for ways to improve their systems. We’re innovators. And that’s why we will continue to see more farmers implement regenerative systems.

The benefits are not just profitability, but better farm resiliency to weather, improved water use, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, better food quality and, increasingly, preferred supplier status.

Common practices today like no-till would not have happened and become critical management strategy without farmers driving them. As we look into more research on organic matter and carbon sequestration, tracking key performance indicators, paying farmers for sinking carbon and increasing land productivity, ISA will prepare Illinois soybean farming for the next generation.

Veggie lightning in a bun P.T. Barnum, the quintessential American showman, might have found today’s food carnival more interesting and far more profitable than his namesake circus of yore.

For example, slow Farm & Food food is taking note of the fast rise of meatless, File or plant-based, burgers this year. Veggie burgAlan Guebert ers, their previous incarnation, are not new; the lovely Catherine has been buying and trying them for decades.

This year, however, two companies, Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods, introduced high-tech veggie versions of the American classic and both have rocked eaters and investors alike.

In her Sept. 2, Washington Post review of a Beyond Burger, food writer Alicia Kennedy, a long-time veggie burger devotee, noted that “when it arrived and I took a bite, I immediately began to tear up… I was so sure I’d just eaten beef, for the first time in years.”

Joyous tears have also flooded Wall Street for Beyond Burger’s parent company, Beyond Meat. On May 2, the company offered its first public shares at $25 apiece.

Prices that day closed at $65.75, then they really took off. On July 26, shares hit $235 before dropping back to “just” $165 on Sept. 3, a 660% rocket ride in just four months.

Many farm groups — and most ag pun-

dits, too — aren’t as impressed as fake meat’s eager eaters and gilded investors; all but a few scoff at the very idea of meatless meat tasting anything close to real meat, while nervously confessing that they see vegetable-based meat as an existential threat to the livestock and poultry sectors.

That farm reaction was not unexpected. It is, after all, what we in U.S. ag often do: We condemn first then — maybe, maybe not — ask for the facts.

The fact is meat alternatives snagged only $4.3 billion of the $900 billion-plus global meat market in 2018. Market analysts see mock meat sales rising 6% per year through 2023, to an arguably unimpressive $6.3 billion, even as real meat sales grow faster.

Burger King is proving that forecast spot on.

On Aug. 31, market watchers told Business Insider that Burger King’s recent 6% increase in sales rested on two, unforeseen facts: its meatless meat entrée, called the Impossible Whopper, from Impossible Foods, is driving new customers to its 7,000 U.S. retail outlets and that, once there, “traditional beef Whoppers sales have also increased.”

An even more plausible reality is that the biggest threat to meatless meat will come from other meatless meat newcomers attempting to catch their veggie lightning in a bun.

More importantly, some of the newcomers aren’t new; they are the biggest of big boys in Big Ag. “The big guns of ADM, Cargill, Tyson and a host of others are elbowing for

space, each keen for a serving of the latest and greatest in alternative meat fare,” noted Chris Bennett on agweb.com Aug. 13.

And, he added, “innumerable smaller companies are jumping into the game, with new startups popping up monthly.”

Despite that rising investment surge in mock meat, farmers and ranchers — and chickens, beef cattle, lambs, goats, hogs, turkeys and anything else that sizzles when fried, roasted, grilled or boiled — are not an endangered species.

In fact, veggie burger or not, the number of vegans and vegetarians in the United States has not increased in 20 years. Moreover, Ethan Brown, the co-founder of Beyond Meat, told Vox in March “that 93% of consumers who buy Beyond Meat also buy animal meat — and he’s fine with that.”

Farmers and ranchers should be fine with that, too. Today’s global meat market is nearly $1 trillion strong and vegans, vegetarians and meatless meat lovers wouldn’t make a noticeable dent in it if all gathered weekly on the National Mall for a black bean burger binge.

Indeed, most only want one thing: healthy, nutritious, great-tasting food that’s not fake anything. The first one that consistently delivers what the customer wants, wins.

Sanders proposes changes in rural policies

By Harwood D. Schaffer and Daryll E. Ray

In an era of low agricultural commodity prices plus the history of the Democratic Party and the approach to agricultural policy that it developed during the Great Depression, it should come as no surprise that two of the leading candidates for the Democratic nomination for president have come out in favor of supply management programs for agriculture.

This policy design was first developed

by Henry Agard Wallace, secretary of agriculture under Franklin Delano Roosevelt to respond to the long period of low prices that farmers faced between the end of WWI and the early years of the Great Depression. By the time FDR was inaugurated in early 1933, farmers were desperate.

In response to unrest in farm areas, Wallace and his colleagues developed the basic structure of the supply management program that was at the heart of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 and is enshrined in the agricultural legislation referred to as “permanent law.”

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont places himself squarely in this tradition with a policy paper called “Revitalizing Rural America.”

Sanders writes: “Fundamental change in America’s agricultural and rural policies is no longer just an option; it’s an absolute necessity. With the right support and policies, we can have rural communities that are thriving economically and ecologically.”

Sanders says he will “enact supply management programs to prevent

shortages and surpluses to ensure farmers make a living wage and ensure consumers receive a high-quality, stable, and secure supply of agricultural goods.”

He calls for “setting price floors and matching supply with demand so farmers are guaranteed the cost of production and family living expenses.” He also calls for addressing farm bankruptcies, a growing problem as we go into the sixth year of falling farm prices and income.

He sees “food security as a national security issue,” writing: “We need trade policies that safeguard food security at home and around the globe.

Over 800 million people worldwide are affected by undernourishment or food deprivation, including millions of small farmers threatened by climate change, volatile prices and unfair trade practices.”

Sanders goes on to link food insecurity in East Africa, South Sudan and Yemen with the armed conflicts going on in those countries.

Sanders’ policy proposal addresses a complaint that we have heard from farmers who want to be able to repair or modify their own equipment, by advocating for a change in law that would give farmers “full rights over the machinery they buy.”

In the years since the change in Medicare reimbursement rules under President Ronald Reagan, rural healthcare facilities have been under increasing financial pressure and their numbers have significantly declined.

Sanders proposes to “provide funding to rebuild and expand rural

healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, maternity wards, mental health clinics, dental clinics, dialysis centers, home care services, ambulance services and emergency departments in rural areas.”

As we wrote last year, “as of 2009, 15% of US counties were without a single hospital or a surgeon. Another 15% had a hospital, but no surgeon. Since 2010, 80 rural hospitals have closed.

In addition, 54% of rural counties are without hospital-based obstetric services.”

Sanders also addresses “distressed rural communities that have high levels of poverty.” He writes: “When we are in White House, we will take Rep. Jim Clyburn’s 10-20-30 approach to federal investments. Under this plan, at least 10% of funding for any program would need to go to counties where at least 20% of the population has lived below the federal poverty level for at least 30 years.

“These nearly 500 counties span the rural and racial divide, including majority black counties in the deep South, predominantly Hispanic counties in the Southwest, Native American communities in the West and largely white counties in Appalachia. As much as 80% of the counties targeted by the policy can be defined as rural.”

Compared to the perception that rural areas are “flyover country,” Sanders’ approach to rural and agricultural policy are refreshingly comprehensive. © 2019 Agricultural Policy Analysis Center.

The ‘tit-for-tat’ weekend

The first Monday in September is Labor Day. Falling on a Monday, it makes for what is known as Labor Day weekend.

However, I will remember this Labor Day as the Commodity “tit-for-tat” weekend because of Insight the fireworks that Jerry Welch surfaced between the United States and China that only intensified the trade war that now is more than 1 1/2 years old.

On Sunday, Sept. 1, the United States applied new tariffs of more than $100 billion of Chinese goods with another $200 billion of goods delayed to Dec. 15. Immediately, China retaliated and, as it promised, placed new tariffs on some U.S. goods such as soybeans and crude oil.

Needless to say, most markets were not happy learning that the trade war with China escalated with both sides retaliating in kind with trade tariffs.

It now seems the United States and China are even further apart from striking a trade deal.

On Tuesday, the first trading of the short week and in light of the “tit-for-tat” from China, the Dow Jones fell 285 points. Also weighing on the Dow was the historical fact that September is the most bearish month of the year for stocks.

In addition, a gauge of U.S. manufacturing from the Institute for Supply Management showed the sector experiencing its first decline since 2016. The report hinted that a recession in the United States is

lurking in the shadows due to the trade war.

However, the Dow fell no deeper than Tuesday and quickly rallied more than 800 points. Again, the stock market easily catches a bid and is well supported while the U.S. ag markets, farmers and ranchers continue to suffer greatly because of the trade war — it has been that way since early 2018.

Also on Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed U.S. farm exports were cut once again for shipments of soybeans and corn. The USDA now estimates total agriculture exports will decline 6.2%, the lowest since 2016.

More damning yet is the decline in exports places the U.S. ag trade surplus at $5.2 million, the smallest since 2006.

Unfortunately, for U.S. wheat producers and prices, it was worse yet. Wheat prices in Chicago fell to a four-month low, wheat prices in Minneapolis slipped to a 9 1/2 year — yes, year — low and K.C. wheat prices fell to levels not seen since late 2005, 14 years ago. The wheat market is a disaster, which does not bode well for soybeans or corn.

Later in the week, front month cattle futures fell to a new threeyear low while soybean and corn prices hit a 3 1/2 month low. The week was quite bearish for most U.S. ag markets — so bearish, in fact, that the CRB index, which is to commodities as the Dow Jones is to stocks, fell to a two-year low.

No doubt, the trade war with China has been weighing most heavily on U.S. farmers and ranchers. But consider the following statement from Associated Press: “The United States and China on

Proposals designed to help struggling farmers

By Scott Bauer

ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Young farmers hoping to make a living in Wisconsin as well as those nearing retirement who want to hand off their operations to the next generation would benefit from a package of bills unveiled Sept. 3 designed to help stem the tide of farm bankruptcies in the state.

The three proposals are sponsored

by Democrats, but have bipartisan support, increasing their chances of being considered by the Republicancontrolled Legislature.

Between 2012 and 2017, the number of Wisconsin farms decreased by more than 7%, more than double the national average of 3.2%, according to the Census of Agriculture. Total farm acreage in Wisconsin also shrank by 2% over that time.

Wisconsin’s signature dairy industry has been hit particularly hard. Nearly 700 dairy farms closed last year, with hundreds more going under so far in 2019 due to a decline in the price of milk.

The new bills don’t target dairy farms specifically, but are designed to help farmers to remain viable when they are just starting out.

One proposal by Democratic Rep. Mark Spreitzer would create a program to forgive up to $30,000 in higher education debt for college graduates who commit to farming in Wisconsin for at least five years.

The awards would be given based on financial need, the likelihood of success and the use of sustainable best practices. Only $120,000 would be available the first year of the program, increasing to $600,000 annually in five years.

The program will help to recruit younger farmers, which is a particu-

larly urgent need given that the average age of a farmer in Wisconsin is 56 and getting older, Spreitzer said.

“We need excited, smart young farmers entering the field as soon as possible,” said Danny Werachowski, a supporter of the bill who graduated from college in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in English and later found his calling as a farmer.

The idea has broad support, with both the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and Farmers Union backing it, along with the Dairy Business Association, the Cooperative Network and the National Young Farmers Coalition.

Another bill, by Democratic Rep. Don Vruwink, would create a competitive grant program to award up to $50,000 for small-scale farming operations no larger than 50 acres.

The money would have to be used to start a new operation or add a new product. Over two years, $500,000 would be available.

Meghan Snare moved with her husband from the Chicago suburbs to tiny Plymouth in Rock County and purchased a 10-acre farm in 2016.

They now operate the Field and Farm Co. as a community supported agriculture operation, or CSA, while still holding down corporate jobs for tech companies.

Snare said the proposal would help people like her who “come in from left field” and want to farm.

“We think there’s a lot of opportunity for young farmers and people leaving other jobs to come into the agriculture industry,” she said.

A third bill, by Democratic Rep. Dave Considine, would fund two positions within the University of Wisconsin System to help farmers plan how to pass their operations off to younger family members.

Hemp showcased as multiuse crop DECATUR, Ill. (AP) — The National Hemp Association showcased the versatility of hemp during the recent Farm Progress Show in central Illinois.

Representatives of the hemp association used the event to demonstrate how hemp can be used in dietary supplements and body care products, but that it also has industrial applications, the Herald & Review in Decatur reported.

Industrial uses for hemp include textiles, automotive, aviation and energy storage, building materials and paper, Geoff Whaling, chairman of the association, said.

Hemp provides an excellent natural alternative to cotton, which is the most widely used raw material for textile production, Whaling said.

The automotive and aviation industries can use hemp bio-composites in multiple applications such as door panels, window pillars, package trays, truck liners and luggage racks.

These bio-composites are cheaper and reduce fuel consumption when used in place of fiberglass composites, according to the National Hemp Association.

Cameron McIntosh was touting

Hempcrete, a bio-composite material that he said is resistant to mold, mildew and pests and can be used for insulation. McIntosh is the president and principal owner of Americhanvre, a hempcrete installation company.

“You’re trapping the carbon inside rather than creating more so this is more environmentally friendly,” McIntosh said. “It really improves the quality of life within the structure, as well because it is managing the moisture and humidity.”

The 2018 farm bill permitted industrial hemp farming for the first time in the United States, but Whaling said some people have been resistant to hemp as a crop because they struggle to differentiate between hemp and its close cousin, marijuana.

“Hemp is cannabis, but it is not marijuana. Marijuana has THC, whereas hemp does not,” he said.

Sam Kupferschmid, a 32-yearold Bloomington corn and soybean farmer, said he is considering growing hemp.

“As a grower in the market I like to come and check out what is the latest and greatest,” Kupferschmid said. “I’d like to get educated on (hemp) more.”

Sunday put in place their latest tariff increases on each other’s goods, potentially raising prices Americans pay for some clothes, shoes, sporting goods and other consumer items before the holiday shopping season.” Now, America households are suffering, as well.

And J.P. Morgan, the global investment bank, stated that Trump tariffs will cost the average American household $1,000 a year.

However, its study was done before Trump raised the Sept. 1 and Dec. 15 tariffs to 15% from 10% over the “tit-for-tat” weekend. Thus, the Trump tariffs will likely cost each American household more than $1,000 this calendar year.

Late in the week, it was announced that U.S. and Chinese envoys will meet in early October for more talks aimed at ending a tariff war that threatens global economic growth.

Such talk is encouraging, but I also have heard that sort of chatter for the past year and a half. At some point in time, a deal must be struck between China and the United States.

I cannot recall a period with so much volatility with stocks, bonds and commodities as now. Each day, most all markets are flying all over the place with the blame being placed on the trade war with China.

How much longer such a scenario remains in place is anyone’s guess.

But next year when the Labor Day weekend rolls around, I will be quick to remind everyone that in 2019 it was called the “tit-for-tat” weekend.

Hopefully, the trade war will end sooner than later. My fingers are crossed.

BRIEFS Anheuser-Busch ordered to halt ‘corn syrup’ labels MILWAUKEE (AP) — A federal judge has ordered AnheuserBusch to stop using packaging that implies MillerCoors’ light beers contain corn syrup.

U.S. District Judge William Conley granted a preliminary injunction sought by MillerCoors.

Bud Light’s packaging says “No Corn Syrup” in bold letters.

Conley says Anheuser-Busch can use the packaging it had on hand June 6 until it runs out, or until March 2020, whichever comes first.

The ruling extends a previous injunction Conley issued in May. Conley said then that AnheuserBusch should stop mentioning “corn syrup” in ads without further context.

MillerCoors sued its rival in March, saying Anheuser-Busch has spent as much as $30 million on a “false and misleading” campaign.

MillerCoors uses corn syrup in the brewing process for Miller Lite and Coors Lite. Bud Light uses rice.

Post office named for GI killed in Afghanistan ALPHA, Ill. (AP) — A western Illinois post office has been named in honor of a 26-year-old soldier who died while serving in Afghanistan.

The Alpha Post Office was formally named the Capt. Joshua E. Steele Post Office during a ceremony on Aug. 28.

Steele was raised on his family farm in North Henderson. He graduated from the University of Missouri-Rolla in 2002 and was commissioned that year as a 2nd lieutenant in the U.S. Army.

He served in Iraq and the Republic of Georgia before he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2007.

Stephen Steele said during the ceremony that he will never forget his brother. He said the post office naming will ensure the community also will remember Joshua Steele’s sacrifice.

Texas ranch listed at over $54M sells in 26 days PITTSFIELD, Ill. — Whitetail Properties Real Estate achieved a company milestone, completing the largest transaction in company history with the sale of La Bandera Ranch in south Texas.

Listed on March 1 at over $54 million, Whitetail Properties secured an offer and contract in 26 days. The sale closed July 26.

Due to the size and complexity of the transaction, Whitetail Properties executed a comprehensive marketing plan that allowed interested clients to easily understand the immense opportunities and amenities included with the property.

“With a property of this magnitude, our team produced a large amount of information to clearly articulate the value-added benefits of La Bandera Ranch,” said Alex Gyllstrom, Whitetail Properties marketing director.

“We customized and executed a targeted marketing campaign, that quickly generated interest in the property, allowing us to secure a contract in 26 days.”

Rep. Pence hears farm policy concerns

By Erica Quinlan AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. — U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, R-Indiana, visited with farmers during a shop talk Aug. 21.

He discussed ag policy issues ranging from trade to ethanol at the Ramsey family farm in Shelbyville.

Pence, older brot her of V ice President Mike Pence, began his term in January.

“The purpose of the shop talk is, from my perspective, to come and hear from the farmers in this area and in my district what’s important to them,” Pence said.

“So, we talked about the tariffs, we talked about ethanol, we talked about the border, immigration — all the things everyone is talking about everywhere.”

Pence believes that the Trump administration has been friendly to farmers.

“On Jan. 17, 2017, the president said

that he would take care of farmers and manufacturers,” Pence said.

“Up to this point, I think they’ve (farmers) stuck with him and felt he’s done that. My glass is half full when it comes to the president and vice president in the administration and their support for farmers.”

When asked what value the agriculture industry brings to Indiana, he said jobs were at the forefront.

“I grew up in Columbus, Indiana, — that’s very much a manufacturing and agricultural community,” he said. “I love farmers. I think they are sophisticated, they’re smart, they adapt to circumstances. I just want to help them continue to do that.”

The event was sponsored by Beck’s Hybrids.

SEED

FROM PAGE ONE

The Seed Advisor tool was field tested by a group of farmers and their dealers through the company’s FieldView Innovators program across 100,000 corn acres during the 2018 growing season.

Harvest results demonstrated an average yield advantage of 9.1 bushels per acre versus what the fa r mer wou ld h ave pl a nt e d w it hout Seed Advisor recommendations, with a more than 80% win rate, according to the company.

Eickhoff “This last year across Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, we were able to allow more farmers in a pre-commercial test to experience our Seed Advisor product, which absolutely helps with that prescriptive selection and placement of new hybrids,” Tom Eickhoff, Climate director of implementation, said at the Farm Progress Show.

The program has been expanded into Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri.

Tests also are being conducted on soybeans for the program.

“As you build these types of predictive models, we’re also exploring how you get more prescriptive in areas like crop protection and some these other agronomic inputs, as well,” Eickhoff said.

“We’re really seeing acceleration around new insights, new prescriptions, more up-to-date prescriptions, not only from seed selection and placement, but also from a crop protection standpoint.”

INVESTMENTS The Climate Corporation has invested heavily in research and development to ensure its predictive models and digital tools provide significant value for farmers when they are deployed commercially.

DISEASES FROM PAGE ONE

“Obviously, we have an interesting weather pattern this summer — late planting, a lot of rain early, then dry. So, diseases can vary, depending on the conditions, but this is going to give you protection out of the bag through the plant health to the end of the season.”

Hybrid maturities in the initial launch range from 97 days to 115 days and more will be added in the next couple of years.

Along with the five-way protection, Ochs said the products maintain strong yields. They are tested under a wide range of growing conditions with trials focusing on performance and agronomics, strong emergence and early season vigor, and improved disease tolerance.

“One of the first requirements to be a Protexus product is it has to be a Channel product. So, it has to hit certain yield thresholds and to be honest these products stand alone on their own just by the way they’re able to handle stress or go for maybe a little more topend yield,” Ochs said.

“We have several different types of products there. But then that secondary criterion is really stringent looking through all of the pathology and breeding data to under-

“Where we’ve really been focused is bringing together the rich research and development data that Bayer Crop Sciences is generating to partner with on-farm data to unlock new insights for growers on the farm. It’s really the combination of bringing multi-years of testing through the research and development pipeline together with the knowledge farmers have on their own farm, to accelerate our ability to place and select the right seed for the acre.”

With tight profit margins for farmers, Eickhoff said believes growers can benefit from these programs.

“What’s really exciting about platforms like Climate FieldView is it allows farmers now to access all of the data they’ve generated on-farm and truly be able to explore and understand at a deeper level which practices, which seed, which agronomic techniques are the most profitable,” he said.

“So, I think more so now than ever things like Climate FieldView allow farmers to deeply explore the profitability of new technology on-farm and be able to fit the right products into their operation and make a better informed decision.”

First launched in the United States in 2015, the Climate FieldView digital agriculture platform is targeted to be on more than 50 million paid acres across the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Europe.

Bayer launches incentive program

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Bayer rolled out its new Plus Rewards program during the Farm Progress Show that offers expanded options for crop protection products to choose from, more flexibility and more cash incentives than ever before.

“Bayer Plus Rewards is our new loyalty program for this year. We’re really excited about the opportunity for our farmers.

It really does enable our farmers to have maximum choice in choosing the products and then the incentives they’ll earn through purchasing those products,” said Josh VanDeWalle, Bayer grower marketing manager.

The new program brings together a broader portfolio of high-performance products, includ-

SURVEY FROM PAGE ONE

“That’s really interesting because in a lot of our surveys producers did say on corn, at least as far as anecdotal discussions, is the corn looks good and their question is with maturity.

“With soybeans, we did hear maybe just a few more questions regarding the crop itself. Perhaps not just a maturity issue, which is a valid one, but also with the idea of just yield in general, as well.

So, people maybe had a little bit more hesitation with the soybean yield discussion.”

Most of the corn yield estimates in the western Corn Belt were at or near USDA’s August estimates.

However, South Dakota’s 146 bushels per acre in the survey is down 11 from USDA. North Dakota’s 141 bushels per acre estimate is five below last month’s USDA estimate.

In the eastern Corn Belt, the survey estimated Ohio corn yields of 154 bushels per acre, down six from USDA. The yield story was

So, we’re not out of the woods on this issue yet.”

ket is priced in with the belief, yes, we’re going to have a small setback in yields, but nothing of concern just yet. I do think that’s a valid discussion on the corn. On the soybean end, I would probably suggest that maybe this survey number is just a little bit lower than where the market is pricing right now,” he said.

Nelson doesn’t anticipate any major changes by USDA in yield estimates until down the road.

“Historically the big changes on yield often come in the October and beyond reports. So, that’s where I think we will see some of these issues shown. USDA is generally not for looking at the forecast ahead. So, if we go into USDA’s report day and there’s no major threat in the past few days, they’re going to say here’s the yield numbers as they stand right now,” Nelson said.

“We do think that maturity is a very valid issue and think the maturity issues will peel back some of these yields in October and beyond.”

about the same for soybeans, with the western Corn Belt estimates near or at USDA’s August estimates. South Dakota was an exception with the survey indicating 37 bushels per acre, down eight from USDA’s previous guess.

There was more variation in the eastern Corn Belt compared to USDA’s soybean yield numbers.

Illinois was down six bushels from USDA, Indiana down four, Ohio down five and Michigan down nine bushels.

MATURITY A concer n across much of the Corn Belt is whether corn and soybeans will reach maturity before frost.

“Maturity is going to be the key issue. Our survey didn’t find as much of a big concern from what producers told us directly as far as our best guess on crop maturity. However, there’s a big variation within each state of windows when the crops finish out,” Nelson said.

“So, certainly a September frost or freeze would set these crops back quite a bit, and even an early October or mid-Oc-

MARKETS The survey found soybean yields lower than expected. Nelson doesn’t believe that will give the soybean market a rally, but it “could stabilize some of the price decline seen in recent weeks.

“Improvement in prices based on maturity issues, which we do think is a valid concern, may not be coming, though, in the very short term. It will probably be an issue where the market has to see something happen before it wants to stabilize and rally and get prices going and perhaps see some lower yield numbers after October and beyond,” he said.

SURVEY SURPRISE Nelson said he was a little surprised by the strength of the corn yields in the survey. He expected to see yields in the 165 to 166 bushels per acre range.

“I do think the market has probably like a 167, 166 priced in. So, the mar-

SEED

FROM PAGE ONE

The Seed Advisor tool was field tested by a group of farmers and their dealers through the company’s FieldView Innovators program across 100,000 corn acres during the 2018 growing season.

Harvest results demonstrated an average yield advantage of 9.1 bushels per acre versus what the fa r mer wou ld h ave pl a nt e d w it hout Seed Advisor recommendations, with a more than 80% win rate, according to the company.

Eickhoff “This last year across Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, we were able to allow more farmers in a pre-commercial test to experience our Seed Advisor product, which absolutely helps with that prescriptive selection and placement of new hybrids,” Tom Eickhoff, Climate director of implementation, said at the Farm Progress Show.

The program has been expanded into Indiana, Wisconsin and Missouri.

Tests also are being conducted on soybeans for the program.

“As you build these types of predictive models, we’re also exploring how you get more prescriptive in areas like crop protection and some these other agronomic inputs, as well,” Eickhoff said.

“We’re really seeing acceleration around new insights, new prescriptions, more up-to-date prescriptions, not only from seed selection and placement, but also from a crop protection standpoint.”

INVESTMENTS The Climate Corporation has invested heavily in research and development to ensure its predictive models and digital tools provide significant value for farmers when they are deployed commercially.
