Tariff relief for beef, pork, corn U.S., Japan sign trade agreement

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

NEW YORK — The United States and Japan reached an agreement on Sept. 25 that will provide American farmers and ranchers with enhanced market access to Japan.

Japanese tariffs now will be significantly lower or eliminated entirely for U.S. beef, pork, wheat, cheese, corn, wine and other products, said President Donald Trump.

In a joint statement from the United States and Japan, Trump

Farmers to Trump: Uphold RFS

and Japan Prime Minister Abe Shinzo said they share the desire to implement the agreement as soon as possible.

“The United States-Japan Trade Agreement will eliminate or reduce tariffs on certain agricultural and industrial products to enhance bilateral trade in a robust, stable and mutually beneficial manner between our nations, which together account for approximately 30% of global gross domestic product,” the statement said.

Out of the $14.1 billion in U.S. food and agricultural products imported by Japan in 2018, $5.2 billion already were duty free. Under this first-stage initial tariff agreement, Japan will eliminate or reduce tariffs

on an additional $7.2 billion of U.S. food and agricultural products.

In return, the United States will provide tariff elimination or reduction on 42 tariff lines for agricultural imports from Japan valued at $40 million in 2018.

These products include flowers, persimmons, green tea, chewing gum, soy sauce and other items.

The agreement will not need congressional approval and is effective as soon as it is ratified

by Japan’s legislature.

The Trump administration said the agreement is the first phase of a more comprehensive agreement that will be negotiated with Japan.

DONMARIO SEEDS FIELD DAY

Ethanol waivers to 31 more refineries

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Leaders from corn grower organizations in 23 states sent a letter to President Donald Trump Sept. 27 asking him to uphold the Renewable Fuel Standard.

The letter is response to the Trump administration’s approval of 31 new RFS waivers to bigoil refineries.

The 85 total waivers approved under the administration amount to around 4 billion gallons, resulting in reduced corn demand due to lower ethanol blending and consumption.

“Corn farmers are not asking for a special deal,” the letter states.

“We are simply asking, as we have been for the past two years, that your EPA uphold the law.

“To effectively stop the harm caused by RFS waivers, EPA needs to account for projected waivers beginning with the pending 2020 RFS volume rule.

“Accounting for waivers in the annual RFS volume process restores integrity to the RFS. It also allows your administration to continue granting waivers, as allowed by the law, while keeping the RFS whole.”

modes of action to protect against diseases, such as sudden death syndrome, phytophthora, pythium and rhizoctonia, as well as insects, such as early season leaf beetle feeding.

“With that, we also now adjust our components and rates on a varietal basis. In the past, you’ve always had a baseline seed treatment that’s applied to soybeans and corn. We’re now looking at specific varieties and saying, what does this variety need help with to get the best possible return,” Gunther said.

One example is a variety that doesn’t have a phytophthora resistant gene or has a low field tolerance for the disease.

Diverse genetics mitigate crop risk

By Tom C. Doran

DECATUR, Ill. — As the growing season that most want to forget nears the end, farmers will turn their focus toward seed selection for 2020.

“Obviously, that seed decision has to happen pretty quickly. It would be nice to think everyone could order their seed in January and February and it would all show up, but industry-wide we just have to order things early and especially

with the way the crops are this year,” said Mike Kavanaugh, AgriGold product manager.

Seed consideration should include genetic diversity and maturities to reduce risk.

“Let’s not stack up on all full-season hybrids. Let’s make sure we’re spacing them out. If you’re in a 110-day zone, maybe you get some hybrids that are 107-, 108-, 110-, 111-day. Get a couple of hybrids in the 112- to 114-day range. Space them out.

That way, if we end up having a wet season next year you’re backing yourself up, lowering your risk on maturity, and you’re also lowering your risk on genetics and putting things in the right spot,” Kavanaugh said.

“The question going forward is to what extent will the United States benefit from this unprecedented opportunity in China.”

Nick Giordano, vice president and counsel NATIONAL PORK PRODUCERS COUNCIL

EARLY CHALLENGES Kavanaugh called 2019 “a vicious year to a corn and soybean crop, but in a lot of areas it was vicious, but yet it’s been somewhat forgiving to this point.”

“Some things that we were really concerned about early on were how this crop actually went into the ground. It went in wet.

It went in sloppy for the most part, and in most of the areas across the country with a lot of that sidewall compaction and everything, a lot of these hybrids were able to grow through it just simply because we got adequate rains in most areas throughout the season,” he said.

Giordano said U.S. producers are losing $8 per animal, which amounts to $1 billion annually.

“That number could grow, depending on the extent to which the U.S. is able to serve the Chinese market,” he said.

African swine fever has decimated the herd of the world’s largest pork-producing country.

Estimates have put the losses as high as half of the total swine herd in China, which also is the world’s largest consumer of pork.

Those factors create an opportunity for other countries to fill the gap in China.

“The question going forward is to what extent will the United States benefit from this unprecedented opportunity in China,” Giordano said.

In 2018, the Trump administration announced the first of a series of tariffs on Chinese goods entering the United States.

and the right return, looking at our return on investment,” Josh Gunther, Burrus product lead, said at the recent DONMARIO Seeds field day.

“Our goal with PowerShield seed treatment is going to be a three-to-one return on investment. Every dollar that we put into seed treatment we’re hoping to make $3 back.”

Gunther added there are some vast differences in seed treatments.

“PowerShield is Burrus’ branded seed treatment. The brand allows you to sub in different components, to change rates from year to year and variety to variety, which becomes very important in the future,” he said.

WASHINGTON — For the Nat iona l Pork P roducer s Council, the ongoing trade war with China means lost opportunities — and lost dollars.

“Given the uncertainties surrounding the U.S.-China trade dispute, we just don’t know — and nobody knows,” said Nick Giordano, NPPC vice president and counsel for global governmental affairs.

Giordano spoke during a NPPC media br iefing following its Legislative Action Conference, a two-day, fly-in event that brought over 100 producers to the nation’s capital.

One of the first questions for the panel of NPPC board members and staff was on trade and how much U.S. pork producers are losing due to the ongoing U.S.-China trade war.

A growing number of ethanol plants are idling production, including in Indiana, Iowa and Ohio.

Closures have cost 2,700 rural jobs and impacted demand for more than 300 million bushels of corn.

Siouxland Energy, an ethanol plant in Iowa, is one of the many plants stalling.

“We idled our plant about three weeks ago,” said Kelly Nieuwenhuis, a farmer and president of the board at Siouxland Energy.

“We made that decision after looking at projections of large losses in the coming months ahead. We look at the costs to idle our plant and keep our employees compensated and made the decision to idle.”

In retaliation, China placed tariffs on a list of U.S. goods, including pork and soybeans.

Tariffs on U.S. pork include a 25% tariff in April 2018, a 25% tariff in June 2019 and another 10% earlier this month. With the existing 12% tariff rate on pork, the tariff rate on U.S. pork going into China currently stands at 72%.

Without the trade war tar-

ery exemptions announced Aug. 9 were the nail in the coffin.

Ethanol prices dropped 18 to 20 cents in two days, Nieuwenhuis said. “ T hat pret t y much knocked the wind out of the sails,” he said. “Losses started to mount pretty quickly.

“You can about imagine the panic right now. We have corn farmers that usually drop corn at our plant during harvest, but we’re not taking corn right now.”

John Linder, a corn farmer in Edison, Ohio, and incoming first vice president of the National Corn Growers Association, said the timing couldn’t be worse for farmers.

“The cost of production this year has been such that there’s not a good promise of return, unless you exceed trend line yields,” Linder said.

“If you can’t value-add

through ethanol, then you’ve robbed Ohio of some of its opportunity.

Farmers depend on about 30% of their corn to be marketed through ethanol.

It’s probably closer to 40% in given years.”

The small refinery exemptions also have hit the biodiesel industry.

“We have biodiesel plants that have to shut down to reflect the reduced volume from these SREs,” said Ron Heck, a soybean farmer in Perry, Iowa, and secretary of the National Biodiesel Board.

“This is going on right now and will continue, without a doubt. We cannot have this domestic market undermined by the actions of the EPA.” Heck was an early supporter of the Trump administration and sits on his advisory committee.

He and other likeminded farmers are de-

manding action. “ We are urging (President Trump) to overrule the EPA and restore these lost gallons right away, because the damage is taking place right now with closing plants and approximately 63 cents a bushel damage to soybeans at a time when farmers have already lost half of their income,” Heck said.

“Many farmers are losing patience with the president.”

Daryl Haack, a corn farmer in Primghar, Iowa, agreed that change is needed.

“We need these SREs to be replaced, reallocated in the 2020 year,” Haack said.

“Senators and representatives need to be feeling this,” he said. “The president should be concerned about this, also.”

out in September.

“Pro Farmer came out with a 163.3 and as a agronomy team we’re probably more in the 160 range, give or take a bushel, somewhere between let’s say 159 and 162ish. I feel like that’s a lot closer to where it’s at,” he said.

“Obviously, things we’re worried about now is getting this crop finished.”

With the delayed plantings to start the season, Kavanaugh noted there was some switching to earlier maturities that can impact yields.

“It’s really hard to quantify how much maturity switching. We swapped

out probably 20% north of I-80 in Illinois, north of Indianapolis and parts of Ohio. Let’s say growers had 110 to 114 in the shed. They swapped that out for 102 to 108 and that made up for about 20% of our sales.

Now that in itself I think is going to impact the final yields also,” he said.

“Yes, we’re going to get good yields out of that corn, but we’ve found that the fuller season hybrids — pushing a maturity as full as you can at a certain latitude — your opportunity for highest yields are the best.

“We’ve talked to so many growers at the Farm Progress Show who said

that yield is not everything. They look at other features, as well such as standability. We had two growers who said when they were trying to figure out what they wanted to use, they wanted an earlier hybrid, but they also wanted something that was going to stand to Thanksgiving and Christmas because they knew it was going to take some abuse out there.”

iffs, the tariff on U.S. pork entering China is 12%.

China exempted some U.S. products, including pork and soybeans, from further tariff rate increases after the U.S. postponed some tariffs that were scheduled to take effect from the first to the middle of October.

Giordano said that prior to the trade war, the first supplier of choice to fill China’s protein and pork gap would have been obvious.

“Going back two years ago, or further than that, under those economic conditions, without trade restrictions, unequivocally it

would be the United States who would be the principal beneficiary. But given the uncertainties surrounding the U.S.-China trade dispute, we just don’t know,” he said.

The deficit of the Chinese production is pushing pork prices and meat prices higher around the globe as other countries seek to fill the hole left by that loss.

“Clearly, there’s upward pressure on global pork and beef prices because if you pull that much meat protein out of the global meat complex, it creates upward pressure on prices, but who’s going

to benefit and how much, we don’t know,” Giordano said.

“Our great concern is the longer this goes on, the less we benefit. The more places like Brazil, Europe and competing areas, they expand their production, they get more of the Chinese market and that’s competition that we have to deal with presumably over the long haul,” Giordano said.

Harvest off to slow start

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — The good news is Indiana’s corn crop progress is continuing at a record pace.

The bad news is it’s a record slow pace in terms of maturity, said Bob Nielsen, Purdue Extension corn specialist.

“We’re dealing with situations that require some good weather for the next 30 to 45 days to not only mature the crop, but also to allow for some satisfactory dry down of the grain in the field before harvest,” Nielsen said.

“It’s been this slow all season, beginning with planting. The crop has continued to develop at a later than normal rate.”

Although it’s likely too late to warrant fungicide applications, it’s worth the effort to walk fields and identify diseases.

Diseases such as grey leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight, southern rust and tar spot have been found in fields throughout the state.

“Again, I would encourage people to walk fields for any number of reasons,” Nielsen said. “One of which is to document what diseases they have.

That might give them a little bit of thought for next year, in terms of being ready.

“Certainly while they’re walking fields, they need to be looking for any evidence of stalk rot, or stalks that are very weak and may be subject to falling over with a strong windstorm.”

Vulnerable fields may need to be har vested sooner. Stronger fields can be saved for later.

“Be aware that, because it’s going to be a late start to harvest with the late crop maturity, depending

on the weather over the few weeks, that will have a big influence on dry down in the field,” Nielsen said.

“If they have not already prepared to do more mechanical drying of grain after harvest than they usually do, they certainly need to be thinking about that. I think there’s going to be a need for much more artificial drying this year.”

Jason Harmon, technical agronomist at DEKALB, said that corn diseases like tar spot have the potential to affect yields in Indiana’s northwest region.

Fields in which fungicides such as Delaro have been applied have responded well to disease pressure, Harmon said.

“The biggest thing is, when you destroy that photosynthesis factor y, you’re opening it up for less kernel depth,” he said.

“We get 60 days after pollination to get a large ker-

nel.

“When you shut down that factory, it makes the chances of getting that kernel depth that adds to yield, less and less. And then there’s also harvestability and overall stalk quality.

“We’re seeing a lot of crown rot issues coming about.”

Harmon expects to see variability of corn quality and yields.

“It’s coming down to a field-by-field situation, where you may have to come in a little early on this half versus the other half, just to get it out of the field before a windstorm comes and makes harvesting a logistical nightmare,” he said.

DECATUR, Ill. — The commercial release of the industry’s first triple-stack soybean trait is expected for 2020.

Bayer’s XtendFlex soybeans will be tolerant to glyphosate, dicamba and glufosinate.

“We’re really excited about this trait launch because of the extra flexibility that it will give farmers for their resistant and tough to manage weeds as this trait will have tolerance to three different modes of action,” said Lisa Streck, Bayer North American soybean launch lead.

The commercial release is pending on approval by the European Union. China, Philippines and other relevant export partners already have approved XtendFlex soybeans.

Streck University researchers have found weeds that have development resistance to multiple modes of action, often in the same plant.

With tolerance to three herbicides, farmers will gain another pre-emergence or post-emergence option in managing toughto-control weeds, including waterhemp, Palmer

ama ra nth a nd marestail.

“That’s one of the reasons we’re excited about this trait is because of the extra flexibility that it will provide farmers where they can have mu lt iple modes of action on their fields to help control weed resistance as that continues to be a challenge for many farmers,” Streck said.

The Roundup Ready 2 Xtend soybeans launched a few years ago not only provided tolerance to both dicamba and glyphosate herbicides, it didn’t sacrifice yields for

URBANA, Ill. – Each year, the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine opens its doors to the public for an in-depth experience in the world of veterinary medicine. This free event, put on by roughly 400 veterinary students, is perfect for all ages. This year’s open house will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 6.

COME LEARN “The purpose of the open house is to engage and educate the public about veterinary medicine,” said Lindsey Summers, a thirdyear veterinary student and Vet Med Open House organizer. “We want to showcase how veterinary medicine improves the lives of both people and animals in a variety of ways.”

More than 40 exhibits will be set up throughout four buildings on the Vet Med campus, with parking at 2001 S. Lincoln Ave., Urbana. Exhibits focus on aspects of veterinary medicine, from cardiology to parasitology, and many veterinary student clubs

display their interests, from business management to shelter medicine.

There will be lots of live animals and demonstrations.

“Visitors will be able to milk a cow, watch a horse get shod, touch a snake, and see the Illini Service Dogs in action,” Summers said.

There will be animals both large and small, from pigs and horses to birds, lizards, and fish.

The Wildlife Medical Clinic, a student-run program that provides medical care for ill or injured wildlife, will have a large booth at the open house.

COME MEET ANIMALS “You will get to meet some of the awesome animal ambassadors of the Wildlife Medical Clinic that help educate the public, such as Onslo the bluetongued skink, Hazel the eastern box turtle, and Ruby the red-tailed hawk,” said Rosie Mazaheri, another third-year veterinary student and Vet Med Open House organizer.

Sydney Johnson, a second-year veterinary student, worked at the Feline

Club booth last year. “We had three cats at our booth for the public to pet,” Johnson said.

“We also educated the community about household toxins, such as Easter lilies and over-thecounter medications, and about general care and maintenance of cats.”

The club reviews the dangers of declawing in cats and suggests more humane alternatives.

In addition to two formal presentations about admission to veterinary college, the open house offers a unique opportunity for high school and undergraduate students to ask current veterinary students about their experiences and journey to vet school. It’s a great way to gain valuable advice and insight.

with their favorite stuffed animals,” Summers said.

Children bring a stuffed toy from home to be their “patient.” They get to perform physical exams, scrub into surgery, put on gowns/gloves, and assist in suturing and bandaging their animals.

“There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement in a child’s eyes as a veterinary student helps them gown and glove for ‘surgery’ on a teddy bear,” Mazaheri said.

The kids’ tent also features face painting and crafts.

Another popular booth is the fistulated cow.

“Whether you’re a child or an adult, learning about why we place fistulas in cows and getting the opportunity to interact with a fistulated cow is a great experience,” Mazaheri said.

“We have plenty of activities for small children but are always excited to talk to anyone about the amazing services we offer here at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital,” she said.

REDS ROLLING ON THE RIVER NATIONAL RED ANGUS CONVENTION

CORN, SOYBEAN OUTLOOK

‘Taste the difference’ Export concerns Tyson tours create new customers AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

“we got a 1 million pound contract” from these buyers.

“That’s the kind of stories we have to keep telling,” he said.

“To me, Red Angus cattle are a great value,” he said. “Red Angus cattle deliver quality, cutability and a more consistent product.”

DUBUQUE, Iowa — Tyson Foods focuses on purchasing efficient-yielding cattle, but more importantly, quality cattle.

“One of the things we say at Tyson is taste the difference,” said Bob Scherer, associate director of procurement for Tyson Foods.

“There is a difference and getting to that difference, you have to have a network of people,” Scherer said during a presentation at the Reds Rolling on the River National Red Angus Convention.

“When buying cattle, you better have good experience,” Scherer stressed. “The combined years of buying cattle are 1,320 for our employees, and the average years with the company are 22.”

Tyson follows the supplier creed.

“We’re as transparent as we can be, and we want people to come to our plants and see what we’re doing,” Scherer said.

“One thing I really enjoy is getting face to face with cow/ calf ranchers, but more importantly bringing customers to them because the more you can educate, the cooler the story is,” he said.

Last year, Scherer met with a group of buyers from New York City.

“They were from a pretty high-end burger joint, and we took them through the packing house, spent time at the feed yard looking at natural cattle and that night we loaded up the trucks and went up to the Sandhills,” he said. “The pairs were coming to the trucks, and they were shocked that the animals would come right to them sitting in the back of a pickup.”

Two weeks later, Scherer said,

SETTING THE STANDARD The Beef Quality Assurance program, Scherer said, makes everybody in the business — including packers, cow/calf producers, finish feeders and truckers — better.

“A lot of this is getting mandated to the packer by the customers, and the last thing you want to do is lose a customer,” he said.

“We have big players that want to go to Progressive Beef, which is BQA on steroids,” he said.

“It’s a lot of paperwork to record things from scrubbing water tanks to labeling grease tubs in the machine shop, but you have to have accountability.”

The Progressive Beef program has three core pillars — cattle care, food safety and sustainability.

“If we want this industry to continue, we’ve got to do the right things, the right way, each and every time,” Scherer said.

“Almost half of the cattle we harvest yearly are enrolled in this program, and they will say it made them a better finisher/ feeder in efficiencies.”

Tyson Foods, Scherer said, knows the importance of staying involved it all of their communities.

“Without our hourly team members, we’re nothing,” he said. “We’re talking 3,500 employees in a packing house and when we’re short 100 people, that’s tough because we have to drop chain speeds to make up for people not being there.”

The company focuses on satisfying its customers’ needs.

“They are the driver of our business, and when they demand a product to certain spec, we will make it for them,” Scherer said.

“To me, Red Angus cattle are a great value.

Red Angus cattle deliver quality, cutability and a more consistent product.”

Bob Scherer, associate director of procurement TYSON FOODS

THE MORE YOU KNOW He encourages cattlemen to get the certification for producing non-hormone treated cattle.

“If you don’t get NHTC certification, you have a commodity animal and you’re at the mercy of the market,” he said. “If cattle are trading at $165, you get nothing else, but if you have NHTC then you get $165 and the premium on top of that.”

In addition to the NHTC program, Scherer said, Tyson Foods also markets products through its Open Prairie Natural Meats program.

“We take red and black Angus cattle for this program, and we’re 100% third-party verified,” he said.

“We want EID tags in their ears because it’s a pretty cheap insurance policy for when cattle disease happens, and I want the cow/calf guy to get all his information back,” he said.

“I’m a firm believer of giving data back and we are set up in all our plants to run the cattle through the reader and within 30 seconds I have verification on 100% of the cattle.”

Retailers, food service and institutions are looking for higher quality cattle, Scherer said.

“We run from 9% to 10% Prime in all our plants, and during the winter months, it’s as high as 18% Prime,” he said.

“That’s what the consumer wants today.”

A farm of many families Consistency key for cattlefeeding company

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DUBUQUE, Iowa — Five Rivers Cattle Feeding is a farm of many families.

The company has 11 feedyards in six states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho and Arizona.

“We are the largest cattle-feeding company in the world, and we hold about 1 million head of cattle at one time,” said Tony Bryant, director of nutrition and research for Five Rivers Cattle Feeding.

“We make about 25 million pounds of feed every day, and we have to be consistent in how we feed cattle,” Bryant said during a presentation at the Reds Rolling on the River National Red Angus Convention. “We buy and sell about 30,000 head of cattle per week.”

The history of the company dates back to the 1940s and 1950s.

“The Monfort family was a pioneer family in the packing industry and cattle feeding,” Bryant said. “They built the first really big feedyard north of Greeley, Colorado.”

In 2005, Five Rivers Cattle Feeding was formed.

“In 2018, we were acquired

by Pinnacle Arcadia Cattle Partners, which is a mutual fund for teachers’ pension funds,” Bryant said. “This has been a good change for us because we are back to the feel of a small company.”

“Five Rivers is unique because we buy and sell all our cattle at the feedyards and we’re responsible for buying all the commodities,” he said.

“It’s pretty intense and a lot of pressure.”

GOING NATURAL The company started its Aspen Ridge Natural Program through the Kuner Feedlot in 2011.

“It is a never-ever program, so the cattle do not receive hormones, antibiotics or animal byproducts back to birth,”

Bryant said. “The program is third-party verified.”

Five Rivers also has a non-hormone treated cattle program, and these cattle are source and age verified.

“We are looking for double certified cattle for natural and NHTC,” Bryant said. “It’s more legwork for the producers, but it results in more utilization of the carcass.”

More of the company’s customers are demanding traceability of the cattle.

“With double certification, part of the carcass can stay domestically and parts like the tongues which people in the U.S. don’t typically want to eat can go to China,” Bryant said.

“Then the packers can pay more for the feeders and the feeders can pay more for the cattle,” he said. “It’s a good thing for the whole industry to use as much of the carcass as we can and add value to the whole carcass.”

Some cattlemen fear the process to achieve non-hormone treated cattle verification.

“The first time you do it, it’s a little intense, but once you get approved, it’s pretty easy,” Bryant said. “It’s more recordkeeping, and I think we’ve only had one producer out of thousands that wasn’t approved.”

Selling non-hormone treated cattle provides value for cattlemen.

“You can differentiate your cattle and get more revenue for them,” Bryant said.

FACTS ARE FACTS Today’s consumers are more educated.

“That doesn’t mean they know the truth, but they read a lot more,” Bryant said. “And people are definitely more opinionated.”

About 200 tour groups visit the Kuner Feedlot each year.

“We get people with different backgrounds, and it’s amazing how in depth consumers have gotten to ask the right questions,” Bryant said. “I have people say to me that the feedyard is better than they thought it was and the cattle have a good home.”

Providing tours of the feedyards is important for the company, Bryant said.

“Our job is to dispel myths

“Five Rivers is unique because we buy and sell all our cattle at the feedyards and we’re responsible for buying all the commodities. It’s pretty intense and a lot of pressure.”

Tony Bryant, director of nutrition and research FIVE RIVERS CATTLE FEEDING

they’ve been told or read on social media,” he said.

Traceability is vital for the cattle industry, Bryant said.

“We’re the only major country without traceability,” he said. “Consumers want to know where cattle come from, how they were treated and if they had a good home.”

Placing healthy cattle into the feedyards is a priority for Five Rivers.

“I can’t state that enough — vaccinating cattle properly is important, and we’re big proponents of two rounds of vaccine,” Bryant said.

“Weaning is a big deal, and we have more success the longer the cattle are weaned,” he said. “I bought a lot of cattle two years ago that were 45 days weaned, and now I’ve pushed that to 60 days. The difference those 15 days made was a huge deal for health.”

Bryant places both weaned and unweaned cattle into the Five Rivers feedyards.

“But I only have so much room for unweaned cattle,” he said. “So, I pick and choose which ones I take, and I’ve turned a ton of those down the last few weeks.”

dominate markets

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

TOWANDA, Ill. — Trade troubles and production uncertainty makes for tough marketing strategies.

“Where we’re sitting at right now, it’s really coming down to supply, or any kind of trade deal. I’ve been getting commodity markets wrong for over 20 years and I have never had a year where the uncertainty is just stacked at all levels, at the macro level, the supply level, the demand level,” Todd Hubbs, University of Illinois agricultural economist, said with a chuckle at the recent First Mid Ag Services field day.

Hubbs gave the following corn and soybean outlook for the old and new marketing years. Here’s what he had to say: ON YIELDS “USDA came out with an 168.2 bushels per acre average (in September) on corn yield, which seems almost preposterous to me. We’ll see how it goes through the harvest. We planted so much corn in the eastern Corn Belt so late.

“I’ve heard yield reports coming in, even the stuff they got planted early, seems to be about 20 to 25 bushels per acre down.

I’ve heard some horrendous yield numbers, particularly out of Indiana.

“This thing is far from over, in my opinion. The uncertainty is so large because we planted corn all across the Corn Belt all over the place from April all the way through in some places July.

“I have a range of 160 as my low and 166 as my high, but honestly their 168.2 could be right.

But we could see it go down to 155.

“It just does not seem reasonable to me that we could do above 168 when we planted 7 to 8 million acres in the eastern Corn Belt deep into June.

“We planted soybeans late everywhere. I’ve heard of people in Illinois planting them in July.

The USDA was at 47.9 bushels per acre. I still think that’s too high. I don’t think the pods are out there.

“We had 65 bushels to the acre in Illinois last year. That was an amazing crop. USDA is down 10 bushels, I think we’ll be down m”ore than that.

My yields range from 45.5 to 46.5. We could go below 45. It is feasible with the amount of soybeans we planted late, but it’s going to be a tail-end event, in my opinion.”

ON PLANTED ACRES “It was a shocker to me. We did have prevent plant 11.2 million acres, but we still planted 90 million acres of corn. When you look at the whole portfolio of crops and take in prevent plant and CRP, take it across cotton and wheat and small grains and everything, yes, we’re about at the levels we normally are.

“It looks reasonable when you look at the numbers and right now they’re saying 90 million planted corn acres and 82 million harvested acres. We planted a load of corn in the eastern Corn Belt in June, more than I thought we would, and I hope it works out for everybody, but I’m afraid it’s not going to.

“Everybody thinks USDA is going to fade its harvested acres number. What you have to understand about USDA’s statistical methods is they’re usually pretty good at these acreage numbers. They do miss sometimes.

“I hear people say they could take 3 million acres out of it. I’ll be very surprised if they do that.

Now, if you told me they’d take 1.5 million or 2 million acres out of harvested acres, you won’t hear me peeping about it.

“They’re usually fairly close because of their survey methodology, their enumerators and the way they go. They have missed, but if your hope is we’re going to lower harvested acres by 5 or 6 million acres, it might be a tough road.”

ON TRADE “The trade fight is killing it.

That’s everything. We basically did a (payment-in-kind) program on soybeans and nobody seems to care. We took 13 million acres out of production and prices are still atrocious.

“It’s mainly because without China taking our soybeans we’re in this 1.7 to 1.8 billion bushel export top. We usually do 2.1 to 2.2 billion bushels in the growth phase we were in.

“That’s a lot of pressure, and the Brazilians and Argentineans have been making a lot of money off of us and that’s why I don’t

care if they get into a drought.

“Right now, USDA has exports at 1.7 billion bushels. I think we busted through that to maybe 1.73, 1.74. I think the crush is at least 20 million bushels higher than that.

“So, we’re going to get close to a 1 billion bushel carryout, but we’re not as high as we were, but that really doesn’t matter because we’re talking 1 billion bushels of soybeans.

“Corn exports sort of fell of the plate in the last half of the marketing year. USDA was at 2.1 billion bushels. My model says it’s at 2.06 billion. I can’t see us going past that, to be honest with you.

“There are the big crops in South America, their weak currencies. It’s going to be hard to weaken the dollar in the nearterm. We’re the best of a bad lot.

“I don’t think it’s going to hurt our exports in corn too terribly much. Many of our main export markets tend to buy about the same amount year over year.

“A resolution to NAFTA 2 or USMCA would be great. I don’t think that’s going to see a huge boost in Mexico imports. We need to develop some markets or have a short South American crop. I’m a little bit optimistic on exports this year, but we’ll see how it goes.”

ON ETHANOL “I know everybody is worried about ethanol. USDA was at 5.425 billion bushels of corn for ethanol. Folks, there’s no way they did 5.425. My model had it at about 5.38 billion bushels.

I’m fading a little bit because I don’t know how much sorghum we crushed in August.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk about small refinery exemptions and there are people upset about SREs. Here’s the hard truth about ethanol. I love the ethanol industry because they use corn.

“The hard truth is we’re going to blend 10% in the gas supply, and gas consumption is relatively flat, and it means we’re going to do 14.1 billion gallons of ethanol in the gas supply.

“The only place for growth that I see going forward is in the export market and that’s just how it is. If we looked at the boiler plate capacity that the ethanol industry had coming into 2019, it was close to 17 billion gallons. We did a little over 1.6 billion gallons of exports in the last marketing year.

“You don’t need to be an economist to add 14.4 billion and 1.6 billion gallons together and realize that’s not 17 billion gallons. There’s some over-capacity I think built-in.

“The SREs aren’t right and they need to do reallocation and follow the law as it was written, but I don’t see how that’s going to change the fact that we’re only going to blend 14.1 billion gallons.

“Now, there’s a lot of hope for E15, but we can’t make people buy it. It’s just like E85. It sounds great, but people aren’t buying it.

We can’t make them take it.

“So, really I think if we see any growth in the next marketing year it’s going to be in exports.

We’re probably going to do in this marketing year about what we did last year which is sort of a step down from the kind of growth we’ve seen.

“Mainly because, one, China didn’t take anything, this is just another casualty of the trade war, and Brazil is down, sugar prices are low. They use a lot more sugar for ethanol, and they’re getting in the corn ethanol business, as well.

“So, we’re seeing this fall-off from Brazil, none to China. We are seeing building markets in places like India, Indonesia and the Philippines and hopefully we’ll see some growth there in the next marketing year, but barring some kind of change in the rules where we make everybody take E15, which would be great, but also would be tied up in the courts from now until the end of time, it’s going to be hard to get any kind of growth in that sector.”

ON PRICES “My corn carry-outs are between 1.6 billion and 2 billion bushels, which puts me at $3.85 to $4.25 per bushel cash price.

Having said that, I expect basis to be strong on the eastern Corn Belt. I think you’re going to see a pretty strong basis this year and if we really do short this crop it’s going to pop.

“In my models, I think the long-run price is about $3.80 if we continue with kind of supply and demand growth we’re seeing in the world.

EEE blamed in horse deaths

By Ashley Langreck AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — The threat of Eastern Equine Encephalitis has become real as seven positive cases have been diagnosed in horses in Elkhart County.

Sandra Norman, the equine director for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, said that EEE is carried by mosquitoes, and it can affect horses and people.

Norman added that the disease can only be carried and transferred by mosquitoes. “Horses and people can’t transfer the disease to one another,” she said.

“This is a much more serious disease in horses

RECIPE FROM PAGE ONE

“This variety needs a little bit of help on the phytophthora front, so we’re adding either an increased rate of fungicide or an additional mode of action to bring more phytophthora control for that variety.

So, we’re now treating on a varietal basis and not everything is given the same baseline treatment and PowerShield gives you that flexibility. The seed treatment is tailored to that specific variety to help that variety excel,” Gunther said.

“With the Burrus name being on the bag, they want the best performance of those genetics as possible.

So, we’re going to treat them the best that we can to maximize those genetics.”

PowerShield SDS also has been released and is an up-treated version of PowerShield bringing more soybean cyst nematode and sudden death syndrome control. It has a higher yield benefit in high SDS and SCN environments.

DATA-DRIVEN In order to determine the best return on investment, Burrus has seed treatment trials across 16 geographic locations, with differing planting dates and soil types.

“This enables us to help understand the differences in these seed treatments,” Gunther said.

Multi-year data is evaluated. The researchers also look at emergence uniformity and emergence vigor a that V1 stage, as well as stand counts and yields.

“Year over year, our untreated check is usually the worst in speedy emergence and uniformity. It isn’t uniform coming out of the ground and it’s a little bit slower. Our seed treatments are helping us get a fuller stand quicker and that’s going to be the key to making yield,” Gunther said.

The untreated soybeans in 2018 averaged 53.4 bushels per acre across all trials.

Seed treatment D was the lowest treated soybeans at 57.3 bushels per acre.

“I wouldn’t call it a bad treatment by any means at 57.3 bushels. That’s gaining four bushels in treatment. So, any treatment that we’re testing is giving you a better yield advantage. That’s a statistically significant difference,”

“I would like you to keep that in your mind when you’re thinking about your marketing. If we do short this and get in the $4s I think it may be an opportunity for corn.

“We’re probably about 380 million to 400 million bushels down on soybean exports. We just can’t make up for that market power China has in the soybean exports market.

“Because of this, we have a 1 billion bushel (old crop) carryout, the price is down and flat, and despite us removing about 13 million acres from the crop, we’re still staring at a huge carryout in 2019-2020 unless we get some kind of resolution or just a tremendously bad crop.

“For 2019 -2020, my models carryout between 500 million and 650 mil-

with a high degree of fatality and most die if they get it,” Norman said.

Norman said horses that test positive for EEE typically haven’t been vaccinated, or if they have been vaccinated the vaccines probably weren’t up to date.

Norman said of the seven horses that tested positive for EEE this year, six of the horses have died, none of which had been vaccinated.

“One horse that is still alive had been vaccinated in the past, but missed a vaccine and will no longer be able to function as a show horse,” Norman said.

Norman said that if the

horse does survive it will have severe neurological issues, which are complications of the disease.

Norman said she believes there have been several positive cases of EEE this year because there have been a lot of mosquitoes due to the large amounts of rain that provided good breeding grounds.

Norman said that until the state gets its first good freeze, mosquitoes still can carry and transmit the disease.

Gunther said.

“The top one was 61.6 bushels per acre and someone may say let’s plant that one, but the difference is we’re evaluating all of these on return on investment.

It takes a good return to make it into PowerShield and this one might have the highest input cost, so it’s not going to make it.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s going to yield 0.4 bushels better if it’s going to be $15, $20 more expensive.

That’s a poor return on investment. You’d be better off going with treatment E that’s a couple tenths of a bushel behind, but a better value for our customer.”

tests over 100,000 new soybean varieties in the U.S. annually.

INDUSTRY INVESTMENTS Gunther foresees continued changes in the seed treatment industry and companies continue to invest large amounts of money into research and bringing new products to market.

“One of the main reasons for the investment upfront is it’s just a very efficient delivery system. If you think about just a small milligrams per seed that is going on and getting buried underneath the ground, it’s much more environmentally friendly than spraying over the top with an insecticide or fungicide. Your environmental impact is much smaller through seed treatment,” he said.

For years, genetics and the environment have been equated with yield.

Gunther sees a dynamic shift of recent where treatment also determines yield.

“Treatment has started to become enough of a yield difference that it’s considered in the yield equation,” he said.

DONMARIO Burrus added DONMARIO brand soybeans to their multi-brand portfolio of corn and soybean products this year.

The DONMARIO brand provides growers an opportunity to access a new global source of soybean genetics.

Burrus provides the regional experience to make this joint venture an ideal opportunity.

Independent, familyowned DONMARIO brand was established in 1982 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. DONMARIO has developed soybean genetics in six countries and selling over 16 million units of soybeans globally.

With U.S. headquarters in Gibson City, DONMARIO has more than 100 U.S. research sites and lion bushels, depending on what the yield is going to be under my scenario.

That’s with us knocking about 13 million acres out and a bad yield.

“We need that trade deal. If we don’t get it, this is what I think we’re staring at. Could we hit $9 soybeans? Sure.

“My only wild card in this is a South American drought. Pay attention to the weather in South America because if it continues dry for another month, you may see some weather rallies deep in the winter on South America weather problems, which may be pricing opportunities.

“To get down to where we typically see ending stocks under current demand consumption levels, we need a 42 (bushels per acre yield). That seems impossible to me, but if we did a 42 you could see a rally in there.”

The values of these purchases is estimated to be between $1 billion to $1.1 billion.

Members of the Taiwan delegation said they were pleased to continue trade with the United States.

“Due to its high-quality produce, the U.S. remains one of Taiwan’s largest sources of agricultural products, supplying more than one-quarter of the country’s major agricultural imports,” said Junne-Jih Chen, deputy minister of the Taiwan Council of Agriculture.

“We are here to demonstrate Taiwan’s continued willingness to purchase U.S. soybeans and our determination and dedication to promote bilateral agricultural cooperation.”

It is estimated that more than 20% of all agricultural production in the U.S. goes to outside markets, such as Taiwan, said Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch.

According to the Foreign Agricultural Service, Taiwan is an important trading partner.

Because of its small land area and high urbanization rate, Taiwan has a relatively small agricultural sector and relies on im-

“Growers tend to find a hybrid with the corn rootworm control method they like, then plant it in the same fields year after year,” Tim O’Brien, Ph.D., explained. “They’re looking for something that gives them the best yield in a field—and too often they stick with what was successful the year before.”

“To sustain high corn yields,” O’Brien, who is the Agrisure® traits manager at Syngenta, continued, “We need to get out of the mindset of what was best last year and get into the mindset of how we show corn rootworm something different.”

“We can break the cycle by planting hybrids with Duracade,” said Syngenta entomologist Isaac Oyediran. “It brings a different mode of action against corn rootworm for a healthier corn crop and higher yield potential.”

For more information about Agrisure Duracade trait stacks visit www.agrisureduracade.com or talk to your local seed provider.

Rotate trait packages for higher yield potential

“We need to get out of the mindset of what was best last year and get into the mindset of how we show corn rootworm something different.”

According to O’Brien, “developing a multi-year, field-by-field corn rootworm plan that rotates control methods over the years” is the best way to delay the resistance of corn rootworm and help harvest the best yields long term.

Growers who rotate pesticide modes of action for maximum control and high efficiency must also rotate hybrid trait packages for the same reasons. The Agrisure Duracade® trait

USDA HOGS AND PIGS REPORT

Help wanted: Plenty of pork looking for plenty of consumers

By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DES MOINES, Iowa — The country has plenty of pork. Now what the U.S. pork industry needs are people to eat it, both at home and abroad.

“Plenty of pork, plenty of slaughter capacity, but somebody has to eat this stuff,” said Len Steiner, president of Steiner Consulting Group, in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

Steiner was one of three ag economists who spoke about the third-quarter U.S. Department of Agriculture Hogs and Pigs

Report numbers that were released Sept. 27.

The third-quarter numbers show record numbers of pigs in various weight and production categories and also showed an industry that has no intention of easing up on producing pork anytime soon.

But who will buy that pork remains the big unknown for the U.S. pork industry, with expectations and hopes hinging on China and the U.S. and China reaching a resolution to the ongoing trade war sooner rather than later.

“We are estimating that next year, in 2020, we

are going to have to export about 26.2% of all the pork production in the countr y. Certainly, the bet is on China and if China comes in here for big numbers, our 26.2% may be too light, in which case hog prices will be heading higher,” Steiner said.

RECORD NUMBERS The third-quarter report, which measures the numbers of pigs on hand as of Sept. 1, showed record numbers in several categories.

All hogs and pigs, at 77.678 million, was up 3.4% from a year ago and

above analysts’ pre-report estimates of up 2.9%. That number set a new record.

The market herd, at 71.248 million, was up 3.5% from a year ago and slightly larger than pre-report estimates of up 3%, also set a record.

T he June-August pig crop, at 35.506 million, up 2.9% from a year ago and slightly more than the pre-report expectations of up 2.4%, set a new record.

The June-August pigs saved per litter, at 11.11, was 3.6% larger than a year ago and significantly larger than pre-report estimates of up 2.4%.

For Joe Kerns, president of Kerns and Associates in Ames, Iowa, the report expressed optimism, in that producers are confident to continue to produce large numbers of pigs.

“The folks we work with, I am proud to tell them we are in a growth industry. I think this is a healthy problem that we have, that we continue to raise more animals. It is not an accident and I think it’s a sign of some optimism within the industry,” Kerns said.

Ron Plain, professor emeritus at the University of Missouri at Columbia, said that there appears to

be ample slaughter capacity to keep up with the large numbers of pigs that are and will be produced.

Plain said the week ending Sept. 14 saw the second largest slaughter ever, at 2,632,118 hogs harvested that week, behind the week ending Dec. 22, 2018. The preliminary numbers for the weekend ending Sept. 28 stood at 2,646,000, and were likely to set another record.

“Lots of pigs, lots of records and hopefully, it looks like we’ve probably got enough slaughter capacity to handle it,” Plain said.

Analysts offer price forecasts

By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DES MOINES, Iowa — Three ag economists offered their price predictions for the U.S. pork industry going forward.

The analysts — Joe Kerns, of Kerns and Associates in Ames, Iowa; Ron Plain, of the University of Missouri at Columbia; and Len Steiner, of Steiner Consulting Group in Merrimack, New Hampshire — spoke during a Pork Checkoffsponsored media call following the release of the third quarter U.S. Department of Agriculture Hogs and Pigs Report.

MAKE HARVEST MORE EFFICIENT WITH HELP FROM A CHANNEL SEEDSMAN. FIND YOURS AT CHANNEL.COM/HARVESTPLANNING FIELD NOTES: BY MYCOGEN SEEDS AGRONOMISTS

Trick or treat?

In the last week, we received 4.2 inches of rain. I’ve heard of pockets of up to 7 inches around Monmouth.

We also had hail Friday night. It was

a little bigger than dime size, but I heard of areas that had golf ball to tennis ball size hail.

The corn just isn’t drying down.

We’ve hand shelled some early corn the last two weeks, and it’s staying right around 26% to 28%.

Stock quality is still good right now. Praying it still will be by the end of harvest.

We have some beans that are turning and hopefully will be ready in a couple weeks. This could turn out to be a very tricky harvest with October forecasted to be wetter than normal and corn that won’t dry down. Hope every stays safe this harvest.

Farm show canceled for 2020

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DEK ALB, Ill. — The IDEAg Northern Illinois Farm Show is canceled for 2020. This show typically has been held during the first week of January for the past 37 years.

It has been located at the Convocation Center on the campus of Northern Illinois University since 2003. Prior to 2003, the annual event featuring a wide variety of agricultural businesses was in Rockford.

“Many factors went into our decision,” said Niki Jones, marketing manager for IDEAg, about canceling the show for the upcoming year.

“We want to provide

farmers the best experience possible, and we believe that given the current agriculture industry environment, now is a good time to revamp our show with the goal of ramping up the education and information farmers need to be successful,” Jones said.

IDEAg, which organizes several farm shows, i nclud i ng event s i n Minnesota, South Dakota and Texas, has plans for a new show.

“We look forward to planning a new and improved farm show for future years and bringing area farmers the experiences, products and ser vices they need in one place,” Jones said.

“We want to provide a

valuable experience for them and therefore need time to re-evaluate how we best accomplish that goal.”

In addition to meeting with fertilizer, grain handling, pest control, insurance, precision ag product and many other companies during the farm show, farmers also had the opportunity to gather information for their operations during the educational presentations.

“We believe farm shows are of great importance

to the farming community, and we hope farmers share that view,” Jones said. “Many shows still exist that meet those needs, and we hope farmers seek them out.”

AgriNews will publish the program guides for the Greater Peoria Farm Show Dec. 3-5 at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, the Quad Cities Farm Equipment Show Jan. 19-21 at the QCCA Expo Center in Rock Island and the Midwest AG Expo Jan. 29-30 at Gordyville USA in Gifford.

HERE ARE SOME HARVEST-TIME TIPS FROM CHANNEL SEEDSMEN As you are near or into harvest—depending on your location—you are no doubt busy with a million different things.

Your local Channel Seedsman can help you determine your harvest priorities as part of the maturity stage of the Channel Field Check Up Series.

This stage of the Field Check Up Series includes final preparations and inspections for harvest.

Your Seedsman will evaluate the plant, looking for signs of stress and checking stalk strength to help prioritize fields for harvest. During the maturity stage, Seedsmen are in fields conducting kernel counts for yield estimations and push and pinch tests to assess dry down. Look to your Seedsman to help you recap your season performance with a Custom Crop Report and a plan that will help you maximize next year’s performance.

Here are some harvest-time tips from Channel Seedsmen to help make sure you’ve taken care of all of the million things you need to do for a successful harvest.

YIELD DATA “I remind growers to update the firmware on their yield monitor to collect good yield data. That information is extremely useful for management zones and informs future management decisions.”

Jason Young, Channel Seedsman

HARVESTING DOWNED CORN “It’s important to fine-tune the combine to run at slower speeds since they aren’t going to be running at capacity.”

Tyler Roberts, Channel Seedsman

COMBINE SETTINGS “I tell my customers to check with their combine manufacturer to make sure they have the sieve settings correct. You don’t want any grain to come out of the combine – that’s just throwing money away.”

Grant Bailey, Channel Seedsman

Lifestyle DONNA’S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUN

Concentrated sweetness in apple rings

Baked Apple Rings Servings: Makes about 50 rings INGREDIENTS 4 firm apples 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/4 cup water PROCEDURE Heat oven to 250 degrees.

Prepare pans. Place wire cooling racks on two large baking trays.

Or line two large baking trays with parchment paper.

An adult should core and cut the apples in 1/8-inch rings using a sharp knife or mandolin. There will be extra irregular-size pieces on the ends.

Snack on them as you work or save for making microwave applesauce.

In a shallow dish, stir together lemon juice and water. Set prepared baking trays on the counter by ingredients.

Young kids will enjoy dipping each slice into the lemon mixture and setting them on a rack or parchment paper. Edges may overlap slightly.

Bake rings until dried with a leathery texture, about two hours. If using parchment-paper-lined pans, an adult should flip the rings over after 1 hour and return to oven for additional hour.

By Donna Erickson

Baked apple rings are a tasty and nutritious snack you can make in your own kitchen on a chilly fall day. We use zesty apples that friends share with us from their backyard trees, or we buy them at farmers markets and apple orchards.

The drying process concentrates the sweetness of the apples, making them an ideal snack food to grab between meals or to include with trail mix on a hike or bike ride.

Enjoyable for adults and kids to make together, you also can turn any leftover raw end apple pieces into chunky applesauce in just minutes in the microwave.

Visit www.donnasday.com. © 2019 Donna Erickson distributed by King Features Synd.

Don’t let anything get in your way.

Hike in Social Security lower in 2020

By Matilda Charles SENIOR NEWS LINE

Grab your calculator.

Those in the know are making an educated guess about the amount of our Social Security increase for 2020. The Senior Citizens League estimates that the increase will be 1.6%, below the raise we got last year.

This will mean an average net gain of $23.40 per month for those receiving the average $1,460 per month benefit. In 2019, that benefit amount netted an increase of $40.90 per month.

The Social Security Administration will come out later with the final number, but the Senior

Citizens League has used the Consumer Price Index for 2019 up to the end of the third quarter for its calculations.

At the same time, says the Senior Citizens League, our Medicare Part B premium is expected to go from $135.50 to $144.30 per month.

Doing the math, that nets the average benefit recipient an extra $14.60 per month.

Some of us, however, are protected: If the Part B premium goes up more than the increased Social Security amount, the Part B premium will be adjusted to make sure there isn’t a net loss.

What about our other expenses though? If we

have a drug policy or a supplemental Medicare plan, chances are that the two of those will see increases that exceed the extra $14.60 per month.

Then there’s the small matter of the price of fresh vegetables, beef, fish, eggs, dairy and cereal. Based on the Consumer Price Index, expect an increase in those prices, even before we get to 2020.

Those of us who pay rent generally see an annual increase, too. Is there any chance the landlord will skip a year?

I am thinking of having a total knee replacement done, as recommended by my doctor. I have bone on bone in my knee. What is your opinion? A friend of a friend had one done three months ago and has had nothing but trouble. He has had two manipulations because he cannot bend past 95 degrees.

He goes to physical therapy, but has seen no results.

Does this happen often with knee replacement? How about stiffness? How long before a patient is as good as new? Would you recommend the surgery, and what percentage of patients have the issues he is having?

Knee replacement — also called total knee arthroplasty — is one of the most effective surgeries performed, in terms of improving quality of life.

Studies have shown that about 80% of people are satisfied with the outcome of their knee replacement.

The reasons that the remainder are dissatisfied generally have to do with complications of surgery, including infection, nerve injury, instability and stiffness — the inability to properly flex the knee — which is the issue for your friend of a friend.

Only about 5% of people have stiffness, according to a 2006 paper, and these mostly improved with manipulation, although some needed a second operation.

It is important to recognize the limitations of the surgery. You are never going to be as good as new — that is, as good as before the arthritis in the knee developed.

But most people are much better than where they started within three to six weeks of the surgery. Physical therapy after surgery is critical for success — but, as your friend shows, not a guarantee of success.

My own patients’ experiences have been largely favorable. I have seen some bad complications, but most people are very satisfied, and the most common regret I hear is that they had not done the procedure earlier. Between 80% and 90% of knee replacements are expected to last 15 to 20 years.

Last year, my husband was seriously ill from a bacterial infection in his gallbladder.

After inserting a drainage tube, they removed his gallbladder. He has done quite well, except for a strange side effect: Whenever he eats, it causes his left shoulder to hurt. Also, when he lies on his right side, it seems to hurt his left shoulder. Do you have an explanation for this mystery?

I have a possible explanation. The pain nerves to your skin and bones are referred to as parietal pain fibers, and these localize very well: If your left toe hurts, there’s usually a problem with your left toe.

The nerves to the organs are visceral fibers, and they do not localize

More than 700,000 knee replacements are performed in the United States each year. well in the brain. Pain in the heart can feel like it’s in the left upper arm, the left side of the chest or the upper abdomen, depending on who you are.

Pain from the gallbladder most commonly shows up in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, where it is located directly under the liver, but frequently feels like it is coming from the shoulder. This is called “referred” pain.

Right-shoulder pain is more common than left, but I still think that your husband is feeling some referred pain, perhaps from some scar tissue.

Insights for helping growers increase yields through better crop management

Measuring and Reducing Corn Field Losses

BRIEN FELL Field Agronomist Galesburg, IL Corn yield is set at the time it reaches physiological maturity.

From that point on, crop yield will only decrease pre-harvest and at harvest. While weather is the driver of pre-harvest yield loss, your combine settings are one of the largest factors impacting harvesting losses. Proper settings and operation will reduce ear and

the combine. Subtract from this number the kernels counted in the area passed over by the corn head only. For each 20 kernels in the remainder, approximately one bu/A of yield is lost.

Header or “gathering” losses usually contribute the most to harvesting losses because whole ears as well as kernels can be lost at the header. To distinguish kernels lost at the header from those lost out the back of the combine, stop the combine and back up about 20 feet. Inspect the area already passed over

Threshing losses are represented by kernels still attached to cob fragments found behind the combine. Again, count these still-attached kernels found inside a 10 square-foot frame opening behind the combine. Each 20 kernels equals approximately one bu/A yield loss.

It’s advised to set the combine to manufacturer-recommended settings as a starting point, and then adjust to the condition of the crop.

Frequent checking and readjusting can then keep the combine set

appropriately to reduce both harvest losses and kernel damage.

When crop conditions change during the day, small adjustments may be necessary.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Volkswagen is rolling out what it bills as the breakthrough electric car for the masses, the leading edge of a wave of new battery-powered vehicles about to hit the European auto market.

The cars are the result of big investments in battery technology and new factories driven by environmental regulation and concerns about global warming.

But it’s not at all clear whether consumers are ready to buy them. Electric cars remain a niche product, with less than 2% of the market, due to higher prices and worries about a lack of places to charge. It adds up to a risky undertaking for the companies.

Volkswagen is betting

that the ID.3, with a roomy interior, brisk acceleration and battery range of up to 340 miles for the top model, will change things.

It argues that the base price under $33,000 makes the ID.3 “an electric car for everyone.”

A key competitor, Tesla’s Model 3, starts at $40,000 in Europe, but the company’s website indicates it can run to well over $44,500, depending on options.

The ID.3 went on display Sept. 9 ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, and Volkswagen also is revealing a new logo.

Both moves are aimed at underlining the compa-

ny’s transformation since its 2015 diesel scandal, in which Volkswagen was caught using software to cheat on emissions testing and paid more than $33 billion in fines and penalties.

The company is positioning itself as younger and more oriented toward digital services and zero local emissions electric driving.

Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess said that the launch is “a decisive moment” for the company and that the ID.3 will “bring the electric car from its niche into the middle of society.”

The company touts the

ID.3 as the third chapter in the company’s history, following the Beetle, which became a symbol of postwar German prosperity, and the Golf, of which Volkswagen has sold more than 35 million since 1974.

The car will reach customers in Europe next year, while Volkswagen plans to launch an electric SUV in the United States at an as-yet unspecified date.

The German company is deploying extensive financial and manufacturing capabilities to make a success of its electric cars, saying it will have invested $33 billion in this area by 2023.

Student shares love of dairy industry at Ag Days

dairy cattle, Kelsay said she and her siblings, along with her aunt, uncle and nephew still raise dairy show animals.

“We still have dairy animals on the farm so the kids can have something for 4-H,” said Liz Kelsay, who is Jenna’s aunt and a member of Kelsay Farms.

The Honegger slat has a pencil rounded edge that resists chipping & reduces damage to feet & legs. The self-spacing T slat is a feature of the Honegger Slat. We feel the 6-inch slat with 1-inch spacing is the best floor for hogs.

It’s been crazy.

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.

It’s been good.

With our new emergency forage program, we’ve been able to help producers get the forage they needed like never before.

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.

Livestock Vaccinations, precautions to prevent EEE

Students learn about farming at Agriculture Days

By Ashley Langreck

youth in their community and teach them about the agriculture industry, farmers and ag representatives in Johnson County

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

By Ashley Langreck AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — The torrential rainfalls and flooding from earlier this year still are having effects on the agriculture industry as several cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis have been detected in the state.

Sandra Norman, the equine director for the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, said that due to the extra rain this year, breeding grounds for mosquitoes were abundant this year and tests done by the health department showed that mosquitoes have been carrying EEE. Norman recently shared tips for horse owners to keep in mind to help prevent their horses from getting EEE. Q Vaccinate your horses — Norman said that the most important step producers can take to prevent EEE in their horses is to get them vaccinated.

Vaccines are very effective and horse owners should keep their vaccines up to date and the regular booster includes the EEE vaccines.

Q Use mosquito repellent — There always are more mosquitoes during the time period right before the freeze. Horse owners should use mosquito repellents in their barns and keep their horses inside during dawn and dusk, which is when the most mosquitoes are out.

Q Use fly masks and covers — Although Norman cautioned that the best way to prevent the disease is to vaccinate horses, horse owners also can use fly masks and covers for their horses to try and limit the number of mosquitoes bites the animals receive.

FRANKLIN, Ind. — In an effort to reach the

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As Illinois continues to face an agricultural education teacher shortage, one group is tackling the issue through a grant program for beginning ag teachers.

This month, four new ag teachers in Illinois were selected to receive recognition as recipients of this teacher grant: Cody Carman, Neoga High School, Neoga; Abby Jacobs, Peotone High School, Peotone; Caseelynn Johnston, Bureau Valley High School, Manlius; and Kelley Koester, Forreston High School, Forreston.

Each teacher was selected based on excellent eďŹ&#x20AC;orts in the classroom, as well as strong short- and long-term personal and program goals.

the IAA Foundation, created the Illinois Agricultural Education Teacher Grant Program.

Illinois Farm Bureau provided seed money to begin the program, and the IAA Foundation will administer the program, while actively seeking more funding partners to continue adding new groups of ďŹ rst year teachers into the grant program.

All told, the program hopes to fund 32 teachers over a 12-year timeframe.

Over the last six years, the state of Illinois has continued to see a severe shortage of agriculture teachers.

Of the 135 student teachers graduating from the four major universities, only 103 went on to pursue a career in the classroom.

Additionally, over that same period, Illinois agricultural education lost an average of 30 teachers each year, not including retirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is that these funds will not only motivate a great teacher to stay in the profession, but also help them feel supported by the ag community as a whole,â&#x20AC;? said Susan Moore, IAA Foundation director.

Illinois agricultural education teachers completing their ďŹ rst year in the classroom are eligible to apply for this grant. The amount of the grant payment will increase over the course of the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst ďŹ ve years in the classroom, up to $10,000 total in personal income, if they remain active as an agricultural education teacher in the state of Illinois.

Indiana has gone from no turbines a decade ago to 12th among states for wind power today.

State sees surge in wind turbines Morton Buildings’ clear-span construction has no interior load-bearing walls. Homeowners can design their own floor plan.

Wide open spaces in clear-span home Model on display at farm show

MORTON, Ill. — For do-ityourself homeowners who like to design their own interior space, Morton Buildings is reintroducing its clear-span construction ranch home with a new look.

This post-frame home is an insulated shell with no interior finish, but that is by design.

“Instead, the Morton Buildings home offers the unique features of our clear-span construction, meaning that it has no interior load-bearing walls,” explained Sean Cain, vice president and general manager of Morton Buildings.

“The result is an open interior space for homeowners to finish based on their needs and design preferences.”

Cain noted that many customers like to act as their own general contractor for all interior finishing, which is an attractive option because it enables them to save up to 20% of the total

finishing cost. Floor plan options are virtually limitless because the interior walls can be placed at any location inside the building shell.

The clear-span home is among Morton Buildings’ most popular building models and is now being offered with several new paint colors, including a weathered gray paint color on their Hi-Rib steel that debuted at the recent Farm Progress Show in Decatur.

“This color is for those who desire a classic, weathered or aged look to their building,” Cain said. “This pattern is wood grain, providing a pseudo board and batten look.”

The house on display also featured a cultured stone wainscot and new residential garage door offering on the two-car attached garage.

Cain said other benefits include a virtually maintenancefree exterior, an efficient construction process that takes about half the time a customer would expect for this type of project and improved energy ef-

ficiency compared to standard stick-built homes.

“Any time there is a break in the insulation it compromises energy efficiency,” Cain said.

“Typical stud walls of a stickbuilt construction are 16 or 24 inches apart, which results in more breaks in the insulation than our 7-foot, 6-inch columns.

Our walls also are deeper for thicker insulation and are designed to promote optimal ventilation for added energy efficiency.”

Cain also stated that as a postframe building, the structure provides superior strength by transferring load through building posts, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in extreme weather.

For more information, visit www.mortonbuildings.com. The newly designed website features over 1,200 building projects and more than 10,000 photos that can be filtered by building type, such as residential, farm, equestrian, commercial and community, and by square footage, colors and special features.

Morton Buildings’ 1,600-square-foot clear-span construction ranch home was displayed at the recent Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana has experienced a surge in wind farm construction during the past decade that’s given the state the nation’s 12th-highest number of wind turbines.

But some renewable energy advocates say Indiana risks being outpaced by other states unless it does more to encourage commercial wind power, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported.

Since 2008, developers have installed more than 1,000 wind turbines across Indiana, primarily on 16 large wind farms that produce 2,317 megawatts of electricity — enough to power more than 1 million homes.

Another 1,130 megawatts of new wind capacity are under construction or in advanced development across the state, from modest projects to major wind farms.

That’s caught the eye of the American Wind Energy Association, which represents windpower project developers and equipment suppliers.

The Washington, D.C.-based trade association said in August that it would host its 2021 CleanPower conference and trade show in Indianapolis, based on the “immense potential Indiana has to be among the leading states for wind energy.”

But renewable energy advocate say Indiana needs clear, uniform rules on locating wind farms to attract more investments.

Indiana also has no renewable-energy standard. Such standards already in place in 29 other states require that a certain percentage of the electricity that utilities sell comes from renewable resources.

Indiana’s lack of a renewableenergy standard shows that the state “could be a little bit more progressive” in encouraging the development of clean energy sources, said Ben Inskeep, senior energy policy analyst in Indianapolis with EQ Research, a North Carolina-based cleanenergy consulting firm.

Adopting a standard would create a guaranteed market for renewable-energy companies,

said Kerwin Olson, executive director of Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana.

“It’s time for Indiana to step it up and put policies in place which encourage the development of renewable-energy projects, or we will continue to lose big to states like Iowa and Texas, which recognize the enormous economic benefits that wind can provide,” he said.

A decade ago, Indiana had almost no commercial wind power beyond a few small windmills that pumped water on farms.

But the wind industry has boomed since then, driven largely by falling costs and rising demand by large customers and utilities for renewable energy.

Indiana ranks 12th among states for wind power, owing in part to its flat terrain that leads to higher wind speeds, especially across northern Indiana, according to the American Wind Energy Association.

Wind power accounts for 5% of Indiana’s electricity, while coal generates 70% of Indiana’s power.

Coal power generation has fallen as utilities replace coalburning power plants with cleaner or cheaper energy sources, such as natural gas, solar and wind, but Indiana is still the nation’s second-largest state in coal consumption.

Some of Indiana’s biggest advocates of wind power are electric utilities. Last year, Northern Indiana Public Service Co. said it would retire four of its five remaining coal-fired electric burning units within five years and the other within a decade. The Merrillville-based utility plans to generate 65% of its power from wind, solar and other renewables by 2028.

But a growing number of Indiana communities have restricted wind farms, saying they are too large and intrusive.

In May, northwestern Indiana’s Tippecanoe County banned wind turbines taller than 140 feet — in effect rejecting commercial turbines that often tower 300 to 600 feet high, after some residents complained about potential harm to property values.

Listen to Partisanship, piffle and prattle the music Like many of you, I watched as much of the Ken Burns film documentary “Country Music” as I was able to and look forward to catching the episodes I missed in the very near future. Although I Rural Issues wasn’t around before the 1960s, I grew up listening to most of Cyndi the music played by Youngthe musicians feaPuyear tured in the series.

My mom’s side of the family always played music when we got together for family gatherings.

Uncle Jerry and Aunt Shirley often hosted jam sessions and they had a music room in their house.

Men and women with rhythm guitars, bass guitars, steel guitars, banjos, fiddles, drums, harmonicas, mandolins, dobros and once in a while a doghouse bass, would gather in the biggest open area in the house or on the front porch and play all afternoon and into the night.

My musical interests were not limited to that which I heard played at family gatherings, the local country-and-western radio station, “Hee Haw” or “Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters” TV shows. I loved it all.

From Bread to Glen Campbell, Tanya Tucker to Billy Joel, Jackson Browne, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Patty Loveless, Tammy Wynette, The Outlaws, Buck Owens, Little Feat, David Allan Coe, Jerry Jeff Walker, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Conway, Waylon, Willie, Charley Pride — and hundreds of others — the music moved me.

If I were to put together a soundtrack for my life, it would be diverse!

During my freshman year in high school, I remember discovering Charlie Daniels Band and Poco, Mason Proffit and Pure Prairie League. My uncle Jerry, who had always been a country-and-western purist, turned up his nose when I told him about my discoveries.

That all changed when I left my “Two Lane Highway” album with him.

When I came back the next weekend, he was playing his steel guitar along with Pure Prairie League.

The final episode of the documentary by Burns was titled “Don’t Get Above Your Raising” and featured a piece about how Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire, Randy Travis, The Judds, Vince Gill and a handful of other musicians, didn’t forget where they — and their music — came from.

While listening to Peter Coyote narrate the program, my husband looked over at me and said, “It was these neo-traditional country artists that held us all together back in the ‘80s.”

And yet, some change is inevitable.

The introduction of electric guitars, varying vocal styles and mixing and mastering in the production studio brought a cleaner and crisper sound.

Being unique isn’t a bad thing.

I listened to Lateral Blue, a Bluegrass band from Nashville do a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” Mandolin, bass, banjo and fiddle are not the instruments I would associate with that song, but it was genius.

Singer, songwriter and accomplished producer Ray Benson, cofounder the Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel, wrote in one of his songs, “You got to dance with who brung you.”

How many times have we heard — and used — the cliché, “Think outside the box?” I think it is OK to slay a few sacred cows if you remember that the strongest stone in the structure is in the foundation. The result could be a thing of beauty.

Some years ago, I wrote a column on how farm groups sternly preached the value of what they reverently called “sound science,” but in fact usually endorsed only “science that sounds good” to the Farm & Food groups.

Not coincidentally, File I noted, most of that good-sounding science Alan Guebert was “science” tied to research bought-andpaid-for by the groups themselves.

Examples of this thumb-on-the-scale tactic continue to do exactly what they are intended to do: confuse, mislead and redirect farmers, ranchers and naïve policymakers away from solutions disfavored by the group.

Take the beef checkoff. Earlier this year, the Cattlemen’s Beef Board, the 99-member committee that runs the national checkoff, released results of what it called “an economic study to measure the return on beef producers’ and importers’ investments into the national portion of the Beef Checkoff program over the past five-year period, 2014-2018.”

Yes, the CBB paid for the study and, to no one’s surprise, Ivy League researchers found positive news in this negative: “Had there not been any domestic CBB demand-enhancing activities over the last five-year period, total domestic beef demand would have been 14.3% lower than actual.”

In short, cattle folks, without the checkoff, your losses in the cattle market would be even more catastrophic than today’s $100-per-head and meatpacker

profits would be even more obscene than today’s estimated $450 per head.

And if that doesn’t raise a suspecting eyebrow, here’s another checkoff-financed “fact” that supports continued checkoff spending and your continued (cough, cough) “profitability”: “Collectively, the overall (benefit-cost ratio) for all CBB activities — including foreign market development — is $11.91.

In other words, an extra dollar invested in CBB activities over the period… returned $11.91 to beef industry producer profit.”

No one — except maybe the Big Four meatpackers, who seem able to vacuum up every nickel in rural America — believes this “economic” whopper.

The evidence they offer is as bloody as any kill floor: The U.S. cattle sector is now enduring a market shakeout as violent as the 1998 hog market meltdown that led to today’s near-total packer domination of U.S. pork production.

Worse, in what’s becoming the motto for 2019, there is no end in sight.

This self-financed, self-serving “science” isn’t unique to just checkoffs. The Trump administration’s recent rejection of the Waters of the U.S. rule, or WOTUS, was based largely on a sea of reports and “maps’ financed by major farm groups, such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, whose primary goal was to kill — not debate it, or alter — WOTUS. Silvia Secchi, an associate professor at the University of Iowa, made that point again, in a Sept. 23 Cedar Rapids Gazette column that questioned Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst’s repeated misstatement that WOTUS would negatively impact 97% on Iowa farmland.

“It’s absolutely not correct,” Secchi, a

member of the university’s Department of Geographical and Sustainability Sciences, told Gazette columnist Todd Dorman.

It’s “fear mongering,” she added because WOTUS “rules preserved all exemptions for agriculture… So, for Sen. Ernst to say that is really… ridiculous.

It’s not true.”

Ernst’s defense? Her oft-repeated number came from a 2015 report that contained “a series of maps” on WOTUS’ assumed reach prepared by a firm called Geosyntec Consulting and paid for by AFBF. The nation’s biggest, most politically-active farm group, a longstanding foe of what it called government “harassment,” said the maps “clearly show” WOTUS would “radically expand” government’s role in agricultural water runoff regulations.

That claim might have been accurate if the assumptions underlying the report had been accurate. They weren’t; they were assumptions targeted to get the desired answers and, to no one’s shock, they did exactly that.

But using science that sounds good to win political arguments on, say, the efficacy of commodity checkoffs or an update of water runoff rules is, at best, a temporary victory. At worst, it undermines farm and ranch groups’ credibility when the problem inevitably rises again.

And when it does, sound science — facts, figures and focus — must prevail, not partisanship, piffle and prattle or else everyone loses. Again.

In defense of supply management programs

By Harwood D. Schaffer and Daryll E. Ray

President Donald Trump recently announced a second round of trade mitigation payments, bringing the two-year total to $28 billion. In response to that announcement, we have been asked: “Could we have spent that money better with a different farm program?”

Before we answer that question, let’s look at the general situation in agriculture since 2012 and crop agriculture followed by an examination of soybean prices and exports which are subject to retaliatory tariffs by China.

Net farm income hit a peak in calendar 2013 as the result of a drought that resulted in a yield-shortened 2012 corn crop. In 2013, net farm income was $123.7 billion, which included $11 billion in direct government payments.

By 2016, farm income had fallen to $62.0 billion, including $13 billion in direct government payments. In 2017, net farm income rose to $77.7 billion and $84 billion in 2018 with government payments of $11.5 billion and $13.7 billion, respectively.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Aug. 30 forecast for 2019 net farm income is $88 billion, which includes $19.5 billion in direct government payments. The increase in government payments is $1.8 billion more than the increase in net farm income.

In the USDA’s spreadsheet on U.S. farm sector income, it is not clear where or if the trade mitigation payments have been included for 2018 and 2019. The income numbers do not include federal

2019 soybean crop In the weeks ahead, as I sit in my combine watching the harvest fill up grain cart after grain cart, I’m sure I’ll wonder at times where my soybeans will find a home and who will use them.

Doug Considering this Schroeder year’s challenges, I’m sure these conIllinois cerns may be on the Soybean minds of other growers, too.

Association There’s no debate that the soybean market caused a few headaches and sleepless nights the past few months. Between turbulent trade talks and less than ideal weather, this growing season has been a rollercoaster ride. Even with the highs and lows this year, I’m optimistic about where the market is headed and how it will benefit Illinois growers.

I am a long-standing proponent in getting boots on the ground and building relationships to increase trade with international organizations. Bringing foreign delegations and representatives to Illinois to visit farms, cooperatives and elevators gives them the opportunity to see firsthand the superior soybeans coming out of Illinois.

Visiting with foreign officials on their turf is equally important.

Traveling internationally gives us a clearer view of other countries’ needs and how we can meet them.

Both hosting visitors here and traveling to their home countries helps build important personal relationships that are so vital to the health of our industry. Relationships foster export sales that lead to homes for our soybeans and more money in growers’ pockets.

Illinois Soybean Association is committed to organizing strategic trade missions and building relationships to protect and grow soybean markets.

In fact, ISA hosts more than 30 trade visits per year for foreign buyers and officials interested in know-

ing more about Illinois soybeans.

These visits pay dividends, both short- and long-term.

For example, last month ISA was at the table when a Taiwan trade delegation signed a letter of intent to buy between 96 million and 97 million bushels of soybeans between 2020 and 2021. Estimated value of these purchases is $1 billion to $1.1 billion.

This exciting news is a huge leap forward for Illinois soybean markets.

Even with the tough growing season, it’s comforting to know that new markets are opening for our soybeans.

But we’re not stopping there.

Just last month, I hosted a trade delegation from the European Union at my farm. During their visit, we discussed policy, U.S. crop conditions and, of course, trade relations.

In the past, I have hosted groups from countries all over the world including Latin America, Indonesia, China and more. It is extremely gratifying to visit with these delegations face-to-face and answer their questions about Illinois soybeans.

Having foreign officials on my farm shows firsthand that Illinois soybeans are simply the highest quality. It’s is critical in ISA’s mission — to ensure Illinois soy is the highest quality, most dependable and competitive in the global marketplace.

Strengthening relationships between trade delegations helps to maintain the viability of our soybean crop and overall livelihood.

As a soybean farmer, I know the importance of trade to the success of our business. Trade team visits and missions are great opportunities to protect already existing markets and find new opportunities to grow.

When I return to my house after long days of harvest this fall, I’ll rest well knowing that ISA has invested checkoff dollars into finding a home for the 2019 soybean crop. To stay updated on Illinois soybean trade and other industry news, visit ilsoy.org.

Concerns rise over tainted sewage sludge spread on fields LAPEER, Mich. (AP) — Experts are raising concerns that sewage sludge used as fertilizer around the United States could contaminate crops with potentially harmful chemicals.

About half of the 7 million tons of sludge generated each year is applied to farm fields and other lands. It’s a high-quality, low-cost soil additive.

But some contains chemicals known as PFAS. Studies show they can

be absorbed into crops such as lettuce and tomatoes.

Scientists say the extent of any threat to food supplies is unknown because little testing has been done.

The federal government hasn’t limited PFAS in fertilizer or developed a standard for determining safe levels.

A dairy farm in Maine that used sludge shut down after high PFAS levels were found in its milk.

Farmers are about the long game.

Responsible agriculture takes time, from tending crops and caring for livestock to trees Zippy Duvall growing and vines.

Farming American doesn’t come Farm Bureau easy, but we Federation love the land and want to pass that legacy on to the next generation. And thanks to modern farming practices and innovative technologies, our future is greener and brighter.

Farmers and ranchers face each changing season asking what we can do better. When it comes to sustainability, I’d argue we could do a better job of telling our story and sharing our successes.

As farmers, we don’t get caught up in what’s trending, but we are committed to doing what’s right and best for our families, our land and our animals. That commitment has yielded tremendous results.

I hear the phrase “climate-smart” farming used a lot these days as stakeholders gather to talk about what’s next for keeping agriculture sustainable. I’d wager that most of us back home, just call it “smart farming.”

We do what’s good for the land, our resources, our families, our communities and our businesses, and we are eager to adopt new tools and practices that help us do that even better.

We have learned and improved. Today, American farmers are growing more with less, thanks to smarter farm equipment and better seeds.

In the last 70 years, our farms have nearly tripled production while the amount of resources used — such as land, energy and fertilizer — have remained steady.

Not many industries can boast those kinds of results. In fact, when you stack us up against other U.S. industries, agriculture is responsible for just 9% of greenhouse gas emissions.

My cows get a lot of undeserved celebrity for their environmental impact, but the general public has overestimated that impact and ignored animal agriculture’s important role in the ecosystem.

Altogether, U.S. cows have been responsible for less than 3% of greenhouse gas emissions in the last 30 years. What’s more, cows and other livestock play a key role in the green cycle.

They make food out of plants that are unsuitable to those of us with just one stomach, and they graze lands that can be preserved from commercial development. Their added feed is grown on cropland that absorbs carbon and keeps it there.

Not only is U.S. agriculture low in emissions, but farmers and ranchers are also taking active steps to make our footprint even smaller. We’re producing and using renewable energy and even turning waste into energy through methane digesters.

Thanks to home-grown fuel like ethanol and biodiesel, in 2018, the United States reduced GHG emissions to the equivalent of taking 17 million cars off the road.

Our country and our world can’t have a sustainable environment without farmland.

Carbon is life for plants, and America’s farms and ranches are essential to a healthy, balanced climate.

Today, more than 140 million acres of U.S. farmland are being used for conservation efforts and wildlife habitats — that’s equal to the states of California and New York combined.

But productive farmland is key to the health of our environment, too. Farm soil is healthier thanks to techniques we’re using like reduced tillage and no-till that protect our soil from erosion and keep nutrients in the dirt.

It’s an exciting time to be in farming when you look at the tools and technology available to us. But for U.S. agriculture to continue to lead the way in sustainability, our nation must prioritize investments in ag research and innovation.

I am proud of what we have accomplished together and excited for what’s next. Let’s share our great story, and let’s keep innovating to give our children an even better story to share in the next 30 years.

Zippy Duvall is the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Producers to receive automatic prevent planting ‘top-up’ payments WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Sept.

26 that producers currently participating in federal crop insurance who had in 2019 a payable prevented planting indemnity related to flooding, excess moisture or causes other than drought will automatically receive a “top-up” payment.

Producers will receive the payment from their Approved Insurance Providers starting in mid-October.

Producers with Yield Protection and Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion will receive a 10% top-up payment, while producers with Revenue Protection

will receive 15%. They do not need to sign up to receive payments; all producers with a 2019 prevented planting indemnit y w ill receive the top-up.

“It was a challenging planting season for many of our farmers,” said Bill Northey, USDA’s under secretary for farm production and conservation.

“We are doing everything we can to ensure producers receive the help they need.

“USDA is working with AIPs so that producers can receive additional payments as soon as possible and we appreciate the AIPs for helping us help America’s farmers.”

The crop insurance in-

dustry will deliver the payments as part of the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act of 2019.

After the initial payment, additional payments will be made in the middle of each month as more prevented planting claims are processed.

“Crop insurance is an important program for many producers to help them manage their production and price risks,” said Martin Barbre, administrator of USDA’s Risk Management Agency.

“We’re leveraging that system to efficiently and effectively deliver much needed support to our farmers.”
