FALL GETAWAY

National Dairy Shrine honors for professor emeritus

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MADISON, Wis. — The National Dairy Shrine honored Mike Hutjens with a capstone career award by presenting him the Guest of Honor Award.

This annual award is the highest recognition presented by the Shrine at its annual meeting and banquet held during the World Dairy Expo.

The Guest of Honor Award recognizes a contemporar y dairy leader for his outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the dairy industry.

“This is pretty humbling,” said Hutjens, University of Illinois Extension dairy specialist emeritus.

“Little did I know a Wisconsin farm boy from a grade Holstein herd would end up with an award from the National Hutjens Dairy Shrine,” he said.

Hutjens was raised on a 300acre farm near Green Bay, where his family owned a 70-cow Holstein herd.

“That was a pretty good size farm in the ‘50s,” he said.

And milking cows during that time was really hard work.

“We didn’t have a pipeline so we carried all the milk from 70 cows to a bulk tank,” Hutjens said. “My sister and I weren’t tall enough, so dad built a couple of steps for us so we could dump the milk in the bulk tank.”

Hutjens studied at the University of Wisconsin, where he obtained a bachelor’s degree in agriculture and a master’s and Ph.D. in dairy science. Several mentors were important to Hutjens, including L.H. Schultz, who was his adviser at Wisconsin.

“Dr. Schultz always came to work wearing a tie, even when you would take blood from cows, he would wear a tie,” Hutjens said.

Soybeans planted on June 10 aren’t quite ready to harvest on this central Illinois farm on Oct. 10.

MINNEAPOLIS – There was skeptical optimism in the days leading up to the Oct. 12 crop production and supply/demand reports in the shadow of new bullish, year-end quarterly corn and soybean stocks numbers.

However, the optimism was subdued when the U.S. Department of Agriculture rained on the market parade Oct. 10, coming in with lower numbers but not meeting pre-report expectations.

As a snowstorm descends on the northern Great Plains where planting was late and harvest will be later, questions about the final numbers remain.

For example, only 22% of North Dakota’s corn had reached maturity by Oct. 6, compared to the 75% average on that same date. Eight percent of North Dakota’s soybeans are harvested, well behind the 48% average.

Thirty-six percent of South Dakota’s corn has reached maturity and the average by Oct. 6 is 80%, while soybean harvest is 5% compared to the 36% average.

Ami Heesch, CHS Hedging market analyst, spoke of future crop scenarios and her insight into the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s crop production and supply and demand reports in a Minneapolis Grain Exchangehosted teleconference Oct. 10.

SAVANNA, Ill. — For Alan St. George, creating the sculptures that adorn the ceilings, walls, corners and alcoves of Havencrest Castle came naturally.

“My favorite thing is sculpture,” he said.

St. George is the founder and owner of Facemakers, a company based in Savanna, Illinois, that makes mascot costumes.

“We do every kind of ani-

mal. We’ve got hundreds and hundreds and mostly what we do is high school, college and university mascots,” he said.

He started the business from his parents’ home when he was 19 years old. From there he rented a storefront and then moved the business to Oak Park, Illinois, and then to Savanna in 1976.

“We have tigers, bulldogs, hawks, falcons, eagles and more. They are almost all customized in some way. They start with a basic mascot and then they want us to do some-

thing different with it, like a tiger in green or the school’s colors,” St. George said.

The business employs around 10 people and sells the mascot costumes on a retail basis.

A least two of Facemakers’ creations are very well known to many people.

“We are one of two companies in the world that have a license to make Smokey the Bear costumes with the U.S. Forest Service,” St. George said.

The sculptures and moldings that adorn the walls and fireplaces and ceilings of Havencrest Castle were made

by Alan St. George especially for the house. The fireplace in the Russian rococo library took him three years to complete.

Crop estimates remain above trade expectations

USDA forecast corn production at 13.8 billion bushels, less than a 1% drop from last month, and increased the average yield by 0.2 bushels to 168.4 bushels per acre.

The trade expected production of about 13.684 billion and a 167.5 average yield.

Heesch: “Everyone was looking for a really friendly corn number after the quarterly stocks number that came out on Sept. 30.

USDA raised the yield a freckle, by two-tenths of a bushel, and lowered planted and harvested acres slightly.

“Feed and residual were increased by 125 milion and USDA lowered ethanol use by 50 million bushels. Exports were lowered by 150 million bushels. That gave us a little lower ending stocks number at 1.93 billion bushels. (The trade average prereport guess was 1.784 billion bushels of ending stocks.)

“While the report may not be as negative, I think it just wasn’t as friendly as what the market was looking for, which brought the market down.”

USDA lowers yields

A2 Friday, October 18, 2019

USDA FROM PAGE ONE

USDA pegged soybean production at 3.55 billion bushels, a 2% drop from last month, and had an average yield of 46.9 bushels per acre, a bushel drop from September. Ending stocks were projected at 460 million bushels compared to 640 million estimated last month.

Heesch: “Soybean planted and harvested acres were reduced slightly. We lost about a bushel on the yield and used the friendly ending stocks on the Sept.

30 quarterly stocks report.

Crush was increased by 5 million bushels and the lower production numbers gave us a lower ending stocks – from 640 million bushels to 460 million – but I think that’s still probably a little bit on the negative side as people were thinking we’d see a lot lower yield number, we’d see a lot less harvested acres, and we’d see a lot lower ending stocks number.�

The all wheat 2019-2020 ending stocks were increased to 1.043 billion bushels from 1.014 billion last month on lower exports and feed and residual use.

What is your outlook on the wheat market going forward?

Heesch: “Winter wheat has a 56.9 stocks-to-use ratio. That’s still leaning toward the burdensome side. There was an increase in world stocks and I think that’s primarily because the European Union production was raised from 151 million tons to 152. Australia wheat production was lowered to 18 million tons and there are opinions that is going to continue to be reduced to something close to 16 million. “The USDA said on Sept. 30 that they were go-

ing to resurvey the wheat numbers and not publish those until November. “At that time there was probably 20 to 25% of the wheat crop to get harvested, and there’s still probably 10% left to be harvested in North Dakota that probably just won’t get harvested. And with the snow coming this weekend, the 10 or 12% left in Montana is probably going to be there for quite a while. “So, I think we still have an opportunity to see some reductions in the wheat numbers coming up in the November report.

I think Australia is supposed to stay dry for the next several weeks also, so we could see some changes in that, too, to kind of help with our spring wheat prices going forward.�

some shortfalls and that probably gets reflected more in abandonment to harvested acres going forward. “I still think there are some opportunities for corn and soybeans, as well.�

Do you anticipate any further production adjustments by the USDA with a harvest that is further delayed?

Heesch: “With the forecast for the next three weeks, guys are talking about how much snow they get and whether the can actually harvest the soybeans. So, we are probably up for the possibility of another reduction in harvested acres. Maybe some of the soybeans that come in after this rain and snow are probably a little bit poorer in quality, and maybe they have a little bit of a yield loss on that, although the early soybeans were looking pretty good. “For corn, I’m not so sure. There’s been past years where corn has stood in the ďŹ eld all winter, it’s dried down, it’s reached maturity and has its test weight, and by the time spring came along and the ground was hard enough they could harvest it and the corn did fairly well. “I think some of the corn in the eastern Corn Belt just isn’t there.

Their love is reflected in virtually every room in the 63-room mansion, from the sculptures that adorn the ceilings and walls, the female figures resembling Adrianne and the male figures resembling Alan, to the more personal touches.

“These are all the Christmas cards we sent, every year we put out a Christmas card as a way to share what we were doing on the house,” he said.

The rooms also are full of memories, each with a story about the couple who renovated and enlarged the mansion, originally called Hillcrest.

“We had many, many dinner parties in this room. Adrianne loved giving dinner parties. She felt her job was to entertain, to make it a fun event,” St. George said, pausing in the formal dining room with its dark wood, Renaissance surroundings.

The table is set with a complete place setting, as it would have been for one of the St. Georges’ many dinner parties.

In the first major room, the front parlor, he pointed out the birds-eye maple woodwork, original to the house. That woodwork provoked a “pretty healthy” discussion between the St. Georges when they were transforming the mansion into their dream home.

“Adrianne wanted to paint it and do this as the ‘Louis’ room,” he said, referencing the famous “Sun King” of France, who built the Palace of Versailles. “I didn’t because this is really special wood. A carpenter came by and said ‘birds-eye maple parlor, the only one like it in the county.’

After that, she wouldn’t paint it.”

The artwork, from sculptures to the painted ceilings, are the work of St. George, a skilled

sculptor and painter. Cherubs, flowers, plaques with figures representing each of the four seasons and bearing the likenesses of Alan and Adrianne decorate walls, ceilings and fireplaces.

The painted ceilings also are his masterpieces.

“I worked on the ceiling, it was done in two canvases and then lifted and glued onto the ceiling, the paintings on the walls match it,” he said.

Guests purchase tickets at the visitors center, originally the first home of the Greenleaf family, who started and owned the Savanna Times-Journal newspaper. Francis Greenleaf and his wife Margaret built the 20room mansion that would become Havencrest, starting in 1899 and finishing in 1901. They called the big house on the hill Hillcrest.

The tours are self-guided, with stops throughout the two floors of the mansion.

The rooms are a throwback to a much earlier time — and that reflects the St. Georges themselves, St. George said.

“She was just like somebody from an earlier time. She wore the dresses to the floor all the time, even in the daytime. That was her style, she loved floorlength dresses. I think she was really a Victorian at heart,” St. George said.

Rooms like the Chinese tea room, the conservatory and the medieval Great Hall offer glimpses into other times and cultures. The Chinese tea room, which is a dramatic departure from the rest of the mansion, is a surprise.

“It’s such a different mood and different lighting. It turns out it’s come to be one of the favorites on the tour. I think because it’s such a departure from the rest of the house,” St. George said.

For the St. Georges, tailoring their mansion was a way to explore other lands and cultures.

“It has been a pleasure, since we didn’t travel, to travel this way. To just go from room to room, you can go from France to England to China,” St. George said.

Their renovation and additions also include episodes that any homeowner can relate to.

The conservatory that fronts the mansion and whose windows look out over the streets below that march down to the Mississippi River provided one of those.

When the St. Georges purchased the mansion, they envisioned a Victorian conservatory, with live plants providing greenery and blooms year-round as sun streamed in the windows.

“We thought OK, southern exposure. But even though it’s southern exposure, it’s not enough because the oak trees are big now, compared to when the Greenleafs had their conservatory. We didn’t factor that in,” St. George said.

They adapted, though. The conservatory has the soothing sounds of a bubbling brook and the croaks of a frog and chirps of crickets can be heard. Trees and vines and flowers proliferate amid the sculpture that looks aged and weathered.

“We just went with the whimsy. We’ll have a weeping willow that actually weeps. We’ll have electronic butterflies that open and close their wings and stuff that you couldn’t do with live plants,” St. George said.

The newest room to be completed is the ballroom. The massive room is the biggest room in the house and was part of what St. George calls the “grand project.”

“From 1993 to 2005 was the construction but the interiors still go on even now. We’re just finishing the ballroom. It was 10 years just to make all of the lifesized sculptures in it, I have 25 sculptures,” St. George said.

Havencrest Castle perches on a hillside overlooking the Mississippi River in Savanna, Illinois. The Greenleaf family, publishers of the Savanna Times-Journal newspaper, owned the hill on which the mansion sits, along with a section of flat land below the hill.

The ballroom, like all of the house, continues with the memories of Adrianne St. George and their years spent together.

For Alan St. George, the big mansion on the hill remains and continues as a home and

as a monument to the love they shared, that he now shares with visitors.

“I hope she’s all right with it.

Lower corn, soybean stocks

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Lower marketing year-end supplies reflected in the recent quarterly stocks estimates pushed projected corn and soybean ending stocks down in the Oct. 10 U.S. Department of Agriculture supply and demand balance sheets.

Here are highlights of the report.

SOYBEANS USDA forecasts the 20192020 season average price for soybeans at $9 per bushel, up 50 cents from the September estimate. Why? U.S. soybean production is forecast at 3.6 billion bushels, down 83 million, mainly on lower yields.

The soybean yield is projected at 46.9 bushels per acre, down one bushel from the September forecast.

Harvested area was reduced slightly to 75.6 million acres.

Soybean supplies for the new marketing year are forecast at 4.5 billion bushels, down 175 million on lower production and beginning stocks.

With a small increase in soybean crush, ending stocks are projected at 460 million bushels, down 180 million.

Global soybean production is projected at 339 million tons, down 2.4 million tons to a fouryear low, mainly reflecting lower production for the U.S. Brazil and Argentina soybean production was unchanged f rom last month at 123 million tons and 53 million tons, respectively.

With lower global oilseed supplies only partly offset by reduced crush, global oilseed stocks are projected at 109.8 million tons, down 4.6 million.

Annual 2019-2020 feed and residual use was reduced by 30 million bushels to 140 million but remain above last year’s revised 89.8 million.

U.S. wheat exports were lowered 25 million bushels to 950 million on reduced competitiveness in international markets.

Ending stocks are projected at 1.043 billion bushels, up 29 million from the previous month.

CORN The season average price for corn projected to be received by producers was increased 10 cents from last month to $3.80 per bushel. Why? Corn production is forecast at 13.779 billion bushels, down 20 million as a decline in harvested area more than offsets an increased yield forecast.

Corn supplies are forecast down sharply from last month on a reduced crop and lower beginning stocks based on the Sept.

30 grain stocks report.

Exports were reduced 150 million bushels reflecting smaller supplies and U.S. price competitiveness.

Corn used for ethanol is down 50 million bushels based on weekly production data as reported by the Energy Information Administration during September.

Projected feed and residual use increased by 125 million bushels based on indicated disappearance during 2018-2019.

Corn ending stocks for 2019-2020 were lowered by 261 million bushels to 1.929 billion bushels.

From July to September, Brazil has exported close to 20 million tons of corn, nearly 50% above the previous high for the time period, with large shipments to important U.S. markets such as Japan, South Korea, Mexico, and Colombia.

Global corn stocks, at 302.6 million tons, are down 3.7 million from last month.

WHEAT The season-average farm price for wheat was reduced by a dime from last month to $4.70 per bushel. Why? U.S. wheat production was cut 18.5 million bushels to 1.962 billion based on the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service’s small grains summary, issued on Sept. 30.

Projected imports were lowered 15 million bushels to 120 million on a slow pace to date.

The NASS grain stocks report raised 2018-2019 ending stocks 8 million bushels and estimated first quarter 2019-2020 stocks at 2.385 billion bushels, down fractionally from the previous year.

T hese stocks imply first-quarter feed and residual use is similar to last year.

tion was reduced 1.1 million tons primarily on a 0.8-million-ton reduction in U.S. feed and residual use.

With supplies rising and use declining, global ending stocks are raised 1.3 million tons to a record 287.8 million.

time Minnesota was the No. 4 dairy state,” he said.

“That’s where I learned Extension from powerful Extension workers and a strong dairy faculty.”

The professor became the Extension dairy specialist at the U of I in 1979.

“I moved to Illinois and I’ve been here ever since,” he said. “My appointment was 50% teaching and 50% Extension.”

A5

For 20 of the 32 years, Hutjens worked as the dairy specialist he taught online classes.

“No other school was doing this when we started,” he said. “Bob Easter who was the department head at that time was one of the reasons we started the class because he thought online teaching was the future.”

Each year, Hutjens taught two classes during the fall semester and one during the spring semester. The class was unique because it attracted three types of students — dairy farmers, veterinarians and college students.

“One year, a dairy farmer was the top student in the class,” he said. “We took most of our classroom lectures and converted them into 15-minute teaching modules.”

Hutjens has written numerous articles for weekly agricultural newspapers and monthly magazines, including Hoard’s Dairyman, as well as technical bulletins.

“Writing for Hoard’s Dairyman opened international opportunities, and I’ve been to 19 or 20 countries,” he said. “I’m getting close to 3 million miles on American Airlines.”

Although Hutjens retired on Dec. 31, 2010, he continues to travel to deliver presentations and write for some of the dairy publications as a professor emeritus at the U of I. Watching students grow has been one of the best parts of his job, Hutjens said.

“Many of the students that took my classes grew up on the fringes of Chicago or were not dairy kids,” he said. “Yet it was amazing to see all of a sudden it would click and several of those students went to graduate school which is really rewarding.”

Hutjens also treasures working with dairy farmers.

“I have discovered whether you’re talking to dairy farmers in China, New Zealand, Canada or Illinois, they are all cut from the same cloth,” he said. “They are totally committed to producing high quality and safe food as economically and sustainable as they can.”

Working with veterinarians also has been a rewarding aspect for the dairy specialist.

“This is my 38th year to provide training at the American Association of Bovine Practitioners conference, where they get hands-on training and applied information,” Hutjens said. “That includes 20 to 30 veterinarians, and if every one of them works at 40 to 50 farms, look at the reach that has.”

The professor emeritus has received numerous honors recognizing his life-long career working in the dairy industry, including a National DHI award, the World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year and several recognitions from the American Dairy Science Association.

“I also received awards from the Illinois Milk Producers Association and the Illinois Holstein Association, which come from the dairy farmers, so those are pretty neat recognitions,” Hutjens said.

Hutjens and his wife, Carol, are the parents of five and they have seven grandchildren.

“I met Carol during my senior year at Wisconsin at a Beer Supper at AGR,” he said. “A Beer Supper means the boys provide the beverage, room and music, and the girls brought the meal.”

Careers in education occur in several generations of the Hutjens family.

“My mother was a teacher, and our daughter teaches elementary school in Indiana,” he said. “And our granddaughter is working on her Ph.D., and she would also like to be in education, so we have four generations of teachers.”

Hutjens’ portrait now is displayed at the National Dairy Shrine Museum and National Dairy Hall of Fame in Fort Atkinson as the 2019 Guest of Honor award recipient.

Multiple triple-stack soybean options enter market

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. – A pair of triple-stack herbicide tolerant soybeans will be available and a third option is expected for 2020.

Waterhemp, Palmer amaranth, horseweed, morning glory, ragweed and other weeds have become tougher to control as they have developed resistance to herbicides from multiple site-ofaction groups.

Corteva Agriscience, Agriculture Division of DowDuPont, and MS Technologies announced the U.S. launch of Enlist E3 soybeans in early 2019.

Enlist E3 soybean trait technology provides tolerance to

2,4-D choline, glyphosate and glufosinate.

MS Technologies and Bayer announced the U.S. commercial launch of LibertyLink GT27 in mid-2018 for commercialization in 2019.

GT27 soybeans are tolerant to glyphosate, glufosinate, and the first HPPD-based herbicide for soybeans.

Use of HPPD/Group 27 herbicide on this product is pending Environmental Protection Agency approval.

Bayer’s XtendFlex soybeans are projected for commercial launch in 2020.

XtendFlex soybeans will be tolerant to glyphosate, dicamba and glufosinate. The commercial release is pending on ap-

0% til 9-1-20

proval by the European Union.

China, Philippines and other relevant export partners have already approved XtendFlex soybeans.

RESISTANCE HISTORY The need for multiple weed control options is evident when reflecting on the long history of weeds that have developed resistance to one or several herbicide sites of action.

According to the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds, the first confirmed report of resistance in Illinois was in 1985 when common lambsquarter was found resistant to atrazine.

Multiple resistances were found in kochia samples in Ill-

0% til 9-1-20

inois in 1995 and tall waterhemp samples the following year.

Resistance to three sites of action was found in tall waterhemp in Illinois in 2002. Seven years later, samples of tall waterhemp found resistance to four sites of action.

Five-way resistance was discovered in Illinois tall waterhemp in 2016.

Since the first findings, other Illinois weeds that have shown at least one instance of herbicide resistance were found in samples including giant foxtail, common cocklebur, giant ragweed, tall waterhemp, horseweed, Palmer amaranth, and smooth pigweed.

The first confirmation of herbicide resistance in weeds in In-

diana was found in 1980 when redroot pigweed and common lambsquarter were found to be resistant to atrazine.

As was the case in Illinois, multiple resistances were found in kochia in 1995. Most recently, buckhorn plantain samples in Indiana had resistance to 2,4-D in 2016.

Other weeds documented with at least one resistance in Indiana have included common ragweed, Palmer amaranth, tall waterhemp, giant ragweed, horseweed and giant foxtail.

Tea and therapy

By Angela Shelf Medearis

My birthday is just around the corner. I know that not because of the date on the calendar, but because of the way my joints mimic the sound of one of my favorite childhood breakfast cereals when I get out of bed — Snap! Crackle! Pop! I’ve decided that my birthday gift to myself is to take better care of my body and my health. Like many folks my age, I’ve been prescribed a variety of pills and potions to alleviate joint pain.

Recently, I started looking for more natural remedies.

According to the Arthritis Foundation, regular massaging of arthritic joints can help reduce pain and stiffness and improve range of motion.

During my research, I discovered Restore Hyper Wellness plus Cryotherapy, a health and wellness center founded in Austin, Texas, in 2015 by Jim Donnelly. The company has grown rapidly and now has numerous locations around the United States.

I was fascinated by the variety of treatments that Restore offers to empower its clients to optimize their mental and physical performance and manage ailments and illnesses as part of a natural healing experience.

I’ve been to a few chiropractors and have had numerous massages, but the unique, gentle stretch therapy treatment at Restore has been by far the most effective for my chronic back and joint pain. I’ve decided to make its stretch therapy treatments a frequent gift to myself.

Being able to move freely and easily is one of the most important keys to quality of life.

Stretching done properly is a very powerful treatment to enhance mobility, reduce chronic pain and promote longevity.

Chiropractic adjustments and massages definitely have benefits.

However, stretching and mobility is fundamental to being able to move properly. The more mobile you are, the more you can do the things that you enjoy.

Another healthy, natural remedy for joint pain is this flavorful recipe for Ginger and Turmeric Tea. Ginger is a natural

Ginger and Tumeric Tea Servings: 2 INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon fresh grated turmeric, packed, or 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger, packed, or 1/2 teaspoon ground 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, or 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2-3 teaspoons honey, stevia or maple syrup, to taste 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or 1/8 teaspoon cracked black pepper 3 cups water PROCEDURE To a small saucepan, add turmeric, ginger, vinegar, stevia, honey or maple syrup, cayenne or black pepper, and water.

Bring to a simmer (do not boil) over medium to medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, cover and let the tea steep for a minute.

Set a small strainer over serving glasses and divide between two mugs. If the tea is too strong for you, dilute with more hot/warm water. Store (strained) leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 to 3 days. Reheat until warm, do not boil.

anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has been known to aid digestion and relieve nausea.

Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which boasts amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

There have been a Chicago to cheer some couple light-frost mornof our other friends on ings, but missing that as they ran the Chicago hard freeze was a blessing Marathon. Approximately to give late-planted corn 1,750 miles of field watch- more time to black layer ing along Interstates 39, and drying-down time. It 57, 24, 90 and 88. On the seems to be go-time for trip south, we left behind harvest in the area. Today, flooded fields and closed a lot of choppers and comroads due to flooding bines started hitting the and spent the weekend fields hard. I’ve chatted in an area plagued with with friends and heard drought. Not much was corn yields of 120 to 240 happening in the fields bushels with moistures of we could see from the 21% to 27% and soybean

yields of 40 to 80 bushels and 13% to 16% moisture.

It will be interesting to see where it all shakes out at the end of harvest.

It would be great if we could get at least a couple weeks of Indian summer to get rid of the flooding and dry up the fields for an easier harvest. Those wanting to put out winter wheat and cover crops would appreciate warm weather to get crops off and seeding done so it germinates and grows before a hard freeze.

The 2019 growing season is shaping up to be a marathon season. I observed parallels between the runners on Sunday in Chicago and farmers across the Midwest. I saw the excited photos friends shared as they were in the corrals waiting for their wave to start. It was much like the excitement farmers have when we can finally hit the fields after a long, cold winter to prep the soil and plant our crops. We chose to stand along the final hill to cheer and encourage

our friends along with the other runners to reach that finish line. The runners turn from Michigan Avenue, which is predominately flat, on to Roosevelt Street — aka Mt Roosevelt — which is uphill and cross a bridge before they turn into Grant Park and cross the finish line.

Runners exhibited a gamut of emotions on that final hill. They had made it 25.5 miles and had about half a mile left. Some were smiling, waving and high-fiving the crowd of onlookers.

Others had their ear buds in and were in the zone, focused on that finish line, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. There was a large segment of the runners that were struggling.

Walking, in pain from cramps, the look of doubt on their faces, feeling almost defeated as they fought to put one foot in front of the other to get up that hill and to the finish line.

One of my friends sent me the best text

and made the whole trip and freezing in the cold Chicago winds worthwhile. He told me his legs were feeling like jelly. I could see the grimace on his face. Then I yelled his name and we made eye contact. I smiled big at him and told him I knew he could it. He told me that gave him the final push he needed to keep running all the way to the finish.

We are rounding that same corner in the 2019 growing season. Harvest is already proving to be an uphill battle to the finish line, just like the marathon was on Sunday for those runners. Be patient, be safe and keep putting one foot in front of the other. We will cross that harvest finish line, even if it’s not the in the time we hoped for.

Kimberly Meier RIDOTT

Corn bushels down We only received 0.2� of rain at my house in the last week. Finally got the combine back and

continued picking corn. Corn yields have been 10 to 15 bushels lower than we expected so far this year. We finished up one field that the wind had blown down the corn in some parts of the field and leaning in most of the field. It was definitely slow going. I think we probably have one more field that might be down in parts of the field.

We switched to beans on Monday, and the first couple fields of beans have been 5 to 10 bushels better than we expected.

We did see a lot of threebean pods with two full beans and the third one shriveled up. Hopefully, we will continue to have decent beans for the rest of harvest.

I have heard some close calls with equipment on the roads, so please be safe out there.

Michael Moore MONMOUTH

From The Pastures Coat of many colors This weekend in Northern Illinois is reminding us of the weather to come. It may be close to freezing temperatures.

My husband and I have escaped that reminder for a long weekend in Georgia. Amazing how different the climate is a few hours away. Today in Georgia it is going to be 85, and they are thrilled the thermometer has dipped below 90.

Northern Georgia has also been very dry this year. My son-in-law is amazed at how much rain Illinois has had.

Priority when we get back will be to locate and inspect all our heated buckets. I need to finalize a breeding plan for the Shetlands and plan the pen arrangements in the barn. I hope to minimize the number of buckets needed. This year, we are only going to have a few Shetlands lambs.

The Scottish blackface ewes I have are too young and will wait until next year. I have a different Shetland ram to use this year. He has a nice horn set and a light creamcolored fleece. I believe he has spots in his genetic makeup. He should sire some interesting colored lambs. The ewes I have of breeding age are a variety of colors and markings.

I am looking forward to a nice variety of lambs in May. Last week, we had the opportunity to open our farm and fiber mill to local people during the Boone County Farm Stroll. This event is sponsored by the local Extension and is an opportunity for people to learn about different parts of agriculture. We enjoyed telling people about our fiber sheep and how we

Illinois planted acres down 5%

WASHINGTON — Illinois’ corn planted area is estimated at 10.5 million acres, down 5% from 2018.

Harvested area, forecast at 10.25 million acres, is 6% less than last year.

Illinois’ corn yield is forecast by USDA to average 179 bushels per acre, down a bushel from last month and 31 bushels less than 2018. Production is projected at 1.83 billion bushels, down 19% from last year.

Based on conditions as of Oct. 1, the state’s soybean yield is forecast to average 51 bushels per acre, 2 less than last month and 12.5 bushels below 2018.

Planted area of 10 million acres is 7% less than last year, and harvested area of 9.94 million acres is down 5% from a year ago.

Illinois soybean production is forecast at 507 million bushels compared to 666.75 billion in 2018.

make yarn from natural fiber. We met a lot of nice people who were very interested in the process of making yarn. It was a great opportunity to promote the benefits of wool. In addition to our farm, there were about eight other farms and businesses participating in the event. Thank you to the University of Illinois Extension for hosting the event.

Meat worth the wait Hello from GrazeN-Grow.

Now that we’ve had our first freeze, can we expect an Indian summer this year? I guess anything is possible this year, weather wise. I can remember how my spirits were lifted with our first August rain after four

weeks without. With almost a foot of rain in September, though, the thrill is gone. Pastures, of course, are green everywhere, above water anyway. There’s been some late-season hay put up lately and some corn and beans harvested, but only a fraction of normal.

It may end up being a fall like ‘09, when we didn’t get started at home until mid-November.

Since I tilled up the wheat stubble before planting covers this year, the ram lambs had to be pulled from grazing them until last week after it firmed up. With such a late first grazing, there won’t be any re-growth for a second pass, but there is still plenty out there. We’ve sold several lambs direct this month, so the bigger lambs keep disappearing, but the rest will have plenty of good grazing to catch up.

We took our Rock/ Cornish broilers in to

Brummel’s federally inspected plant in Rock Falls the first of the month and will take the Freedom Rangers in next month. We have a steer and two ewes to take to Eureka this week, so we’ll be able to fill orders for several of our regular customers, except for some lamb customers who will have to wait a month.

We’ve been pleased to hear from two of our new customers last week who have sampled our meat along with other sources and have chosen us to supply their families with meat. That’s gratifying since our ultimate goal here is quality food for good health. Regardless of challenges with weather extremes and any other obstacles we encounter day by day, that’s what farming boils down to. So, all of you privileged as we are to farm — keep up the good work. Happy trails.

Jim Draper SHEFFIELD

Second grazing The old ewes are doing a good job cleaning up an old neglected farm pasture. First, I divided the pasture into seven lots that I estimated the 88 head could eat each lot down in about seven days. They start with mature grass that is kneehigh to crouch-high and eat it down to the top of the instep on my work boot. Then the good hired help I have this year — a 17-year-old homeschooled boy/man — and I have spent 125 man hours cutting, gathering and then burning the trees and treating the stumps of thorny locust trees and brush out of each lot after the sheep have eaten the grass down and I have moved them to the next lot. This has been a lot of

work, and I still have one lot yet to go.

Back at home, the two lamb groups started back on the summer annual field for the second grazing after 53 days of rest and rain.

Unfortunately, I have to report that the cowpeas and turnips did not come up like I had hoped for after I got some rain. But the pearl millet, red clover and chicory have grown very well, and the lambs are gaining weight as they go through it.

Gregg Brann is having a pasture walk Oct. 18 in Adolphus, Kentucky, and that is always a very good learning pasture walk.

The Heart of America Grazing Conference with keynote speaker Jim Gerrish is Oct. 29-30 in Burlington, Kentucky.

On Nov. 1, there is a pasture walk with Dr. Gerrish on a farm close to Burlington.

Preparing livestock for winter

By Ashley Langreck AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BROOKVILLE, Ind. — With Thanksgiving a little over a month away, livestock producers need to start preparing for winter months and colder weather.

Mary Rodenhuis, the Purdue Extension educator for agriculture and natural resources, recently shared some tips for livestock producers to remember as they prepare their herds for the winter months: Q Take stock of forages.

Rodenhuis said that livestock producers need to take stock of how much forage they have and how much they will need to acquire to get their livestock through the winter months. She said due to the crazy growing season this year, especially with hay, there could be hay shortages later in the season. Producers shouldn’t rely on waiting until the last minute to secure hay for the winter months, but rather should be making plans now. She added that it would probably be a good idea for livestock producers to have a contract for their hay sourcing.

Q Test forages. Due to the unusual hay growing season, Rodenhuis said that producers should have their forages tested to check the nutrient content and quality. The first cutting was delayed which caused the nutrition value of the hay to go down. She said that if the value of the nutrition quality is down, livestock won’t get as much energy.

Q Take a body condition score of animals. The Extension educator said that it is always a good idea before severe cold weather hits for livestock producers to survey their herds and to take a body score of their animals. Livestock that are thinner should be fed extra to try, and get them heavier before colder weather sets

in, because that is when the amount of energy a body demands increases.

Q Be prepared for breeding/ birthday season. Producers need to make sure they go through their breeding check list and are

prepared for breeding and birthday season. It is important for producers to keep their eyes on pregnant animals for signs of stress or labor, as well as to make sure they have a supply of straw on hand.

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.

Weed control should be top priority in 2020 planning

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

POTOMAC, Ill. — Even when most of the soybeans in his area were just starting to be harvested, Randy Niver, DEKALB Asgrow technical agronomist in east-central Illinois, began talking 2020.

Specifically, Niver is talking about weed control, a priority topic for growers, given the challenges of the 2019 growing and weed control year.

“If they are in a no-till system, my biggest recommendation is getting a good fall burndown on.

We have products like Autumn Super, throw some 2,4-D on there and get some of those fall germinating weeds knocked down now and have a little bit of residual to carry you through spring,” he said.

Niver is looking forward to a clean start to the next growing year when it comes to weeds and fields.

“The main thing is going to be start clean, stay clean, keep a residual out there at all times.

We are going to need to get back into the mindset of spraying fields before we see weeds. If we are waiting until weeds are coming up to spray, I am afraid we are going to be at a point where we are too late,” he said.

When it comes to lessons learned from 2019, Niver said growers want to know how to use those lessons to choose products and practices for 2020.

“One of the biggest questions I am getting is what am I going to see a response from the most this year, whether it’s the fungicide or the seed treatment or looking at seed varieties,” he said.

FIELD DATA Niver’s advice? Look at historical data, not just 2019.

“We are going to have to look at historical data to make any decisions for next year because I don’t think this year is going to show us that much that we can rely on with any kind of confidence. My biggest conversations have been around looking at historical information from either your farm or another trusted source and anything that you did this year, don’t write it off thinking it didn’t work,” Niver said.

He also is advising growers to not accept some of the practices they may have implemented this year, just to get seed in the ground, into their portfolio of accepted practices.

“Just because you were able to get away with some of the

sins of the spring this year doesn’t mean that will happen again next year. We planted into some pretty poor conditions and, for the most part, we were pretty lucky and got away with it. That’s not something I would recommend as a practice in the years to come,” he said.

But when Niver talks about getting away with it, that’s with a caveat on yield.

“I’ve had a few growers take some beans out that were planted early for 2019 standards. They were planted at the end of April and in early May and were lower in yield than those growers are used to,” he said.

Niver said a large portion of his area suffered from a growing season that ranged from cold and excessively wet at the start to hot and too dry and then cool

again.

“It really wasn’t ideal growing conditions for much of anything this year,” he said. But one bright spot was the performance of the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System.

“Many growers experienced very clean fields this year using the Roundup Ready Xtend Crop System. Being able to get residual soil activity during the dry summer really played a large role in these clean fields. Maintaining a weed-free field improves your chances for higher yields,” Niver said.

University of Illinois opens Center for Digital Agriculture

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – The power of engineering, agricultural sciences and computing have been combined to form the new University of Illinois Center for Digital Agriculture.

The center, which was launched Oct. 8 at the CDA Industry Conference, seeks to develop digital solutions to agricultural roadblocks by bringing together agricultural producers, researchers and industries.

CDA is a collaboration between the university’s Grainger College of Engineering; the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences; National Center for Supercomputing Applications; and the Institute for Genomic Biology CDA seeks to leverage Illinois’ historic land-grant pillars of agriculture and engineering and position both to work in tandem towards a digital future.

By combining top-tier programs in both engineering and agriculture, Illinois is uniquely placed to take the lead in such multidisciplinary research. This, in turn, allows the CDA to go further than simply deploying and applying digital improvements.

Instead, the Center’s focus will be on the collaborative process of researching and developing new digital techniques and tools

to address agricultural problems.

In addition to interdisciplinary research, CDA also will launch multiple partnerships with companies across both agriculture and computing industries, including collaborative research projects, summer internships, and scholarship programs, allowing opportunities for students to flourish in an emerging field-of-study.

A formal industrial-affiliates program will provide member companies with preferred recruiting opportunities, priority for collaborative research and consulting, early access to research outcomes, and licensing opportunities for intellectual property.

TEAM EFFORT More extensive research and development partnerships with individual companies will be a primary goal of the center.

One of the main goals of the center is to bring together teams of faculty, teams of students, spanning both the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture to do joint multidisciplinary research projects, said Vikram Adve, CDA co-director and computer science professor.

“We also have unique degree programs that bring together computer sciences and crop sciences as well as computer sciences and animal sciences with

really give students a deep grounding in bot h a re a s and these are unique in the country as far as we know.

We’re also launching a master’s degree in Adve digital agriculture which is patterned under those two graduate degrees,” he said.

“Working with industry is one of the main goals for the center along with research and education.”

THEMES The CDA’s primary research themes are automaton, data, animals and crops, and people.

Current projects include using computer vision to relieve the crop phenotyping bottleneck, algorithms and methods for simplifying autonomy for field robots, addressing effects of soil and water population on health and rural communities and farmer families, and estimating yield and water quality response functions using on-farm precision experimentation, spatially-intense soil sampling, and hyperspectral imagery.

“We have projects in crops and animal agriculture. We

have projects in the human side of agriculture. We have projects on both automation of equipment and data science analysis of the data that’s produced by the equipment. We also have a number of educational programs to help deliver the work force that we believe is going to be increasingly important for the future of agriculture,” said Sam Eathington, Climate Corporation chief scientist.

“So, they start with non-degree certificate programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. We have joint undergraduate bachelor’s degrees in computer science and crop science and computer science and animal science. We are planning a master’s degree in digital agriculture and we’re also reaching out through out College of Education for education in the K-12 sphere and also through our Extension program to do continuing education for the community.”

gies, and to do so in a way that leverages our unique position in Illinois,” said Matt Hudson, CDA co-director and professor in the Department of Crop Sciences.

“Illinois as a state is essentially the center for world agricultural commerce. The university has top ranked colleges of engineering and agriculture.

We’re in the middle of highly productive agricultural area, and we have many of the largest agricultural companies nearby.

So, we think this combination gives us a unique opportunity to be a leader in this field, and many others have agreed with us and are already investing in the center.”

“The center was founded out of the university with $2 million funding internally to really launch some seed proposals and engage faculty with their interesting projects and get those funded within the center to start that connection between engineering and the college of agriculture,” said Chris Harbourt, UNIQUE POSITION entrepreneur, agricultural engi“The university has strongly neer, and research assistant prosupported this center and we fessor in the Department of Crop have a very broad vision of what Sciences. we’re talking about at digital agriculture.

Packer profits raise concerns Cattle prices dropped like a rock following the Aug. 9 fire at the Tyson plant near Holcomb, Nebraska. The plant processed about 6,000 head of fed cattle per Rural Issues day, which equates to 6% of the total Cyndi Young- U.S. fed cattle capacity. Many were Puyear shocked that closing a single plant could have that much of a negative ripple effect throughout cattle country.

The whispers I’ve heard for years about packers having too much control over not only the vertically integrated poultry and hog segments, but cattle, as well, became louder and louder in days following the fire.

I’ve heard from so many people who received ridiculously low prices for cattle they sold in the past two months. I’ve personally experienced it, as well.

Prices weren’t so great to begin with, and then this big hit came and knocked the wind out of us all — well, almost all of us. Packer margins spiked in the days and weeks following the fire.

Enter the Western Ag Reporter trade publication and a cattle auctioneer from Montana who called on fellow cow-calf producers and feeders to join in a social media campaign #FairCattleMarkets to get the attention of President Donald Trump.

Joe Goggins said the ever-widening gap between packer profit margins and producer’s price for cattle has raised concern across the countryside. It’s been going on for more than two decades, and it’s past time to do something about it.

Goggins doesn’t claim to have all the answers. He acknowledged that getting rid of packers isn’t an answer, as they are needed. His hope is to get a conversation started so the president understands there is a problem and to get some fairness back in the market.

The campaign got the attention of a lot of cattlemen who were more than happy to participate.

Somewhere along the way, however, other groups with different motives seized control of the campaign and tried to make it their own. #FairCattleMarkets didn’t start out as a promotion for country of origin labeling or as an anti-Beef Checkoff campaign. But it was morphed into that and more.

One of the things I detest about the way laws at the state and federal level are made is the inclusion of non-related additions tossed in so a bill will pass.

Many of us will support whole-heartedly the gist of a bill until we find out what might be “buried” in it. That is what happened to the #FairCattleMarkets campaign.

I have been and will always be a proponent for promotion, research and education funding for the beef industry. I do not believe that an organization with strong ties to Humane Society of the United States should have or expect to have a seat at the table when it comes to deciding anything about production, promotion, education or research pertaining to beef cattle.

I do believe that the National Beef Checkoff could do a better job communicating to those who fund it. I do believe there is transparency and accountability to cattle producers, but I don’t think most of us want to go looking for it.

Ag’s coming heart transplant If government and private estimates are accurate, hundreds of millions of American farm acres will have new owners in the next 15 years.

For example, the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Farm & Food the Department of Agriculture’s survey takFile ers and recordkeepers, predicts that 100 million Alan Guebert acres of today’s farmland will be sold by its current owners by 2023.

The American Farmland Trust, a non-partisan farmland conservation group based in Washington, D.C., pegs the turnover rate even higher. It estimates 371 million acres of the nation’s farm and ranchland will change hands in the next 15 years. That’s four out of every 10 acres in private ownership today, claims AFT. One key reason for the coming turnover is the average age of today’s farmers; we — my generation, the Baby Boomers — are getting old. Demographers say today’s youngest Boomer is 55; its oldest, well into their 70s.

While the average age of all U.S. farmers, 57.5, falls on the younger end of that scale, it is accelerating by more than a year every five years, according to the 2017 Ag Census.

As such, it won’t be long before most Boomers will be a fading echo in America and American ag. Don’t worry; we will be a loud echo. According to U.S. Census data, nearly 10,000 Boomers —

including many farmers, some journalists, and, uh huh, column readers — now reach age 65 every day.

Equally noteworthy is the average age of today’s “beginning farmer,” a group the 2017 Ag Census defines as ranchers and farmers with less than 10 years of farming experience: a not-so-short-in-thetooth 46.3 years.

That’s probably why USDA classifies them as “beginning farmers” and not “young farmers.”

Even more striking is state-level data. According to a 2018 Iowa State University study on Iowa farmland ownership and tenure, 60% of that state’s farmland is owned by people 65 or older and 35% is owned by people 75 or older.

Other farmland ownership numbers from the Iowa State study are just as eye opening. For example, 13% of Iowa’s farmland is owned by women over 80 years old; over half of Iowa’s farmland is owned by people who don’t farm; 30% is owned by either corporations or trusts; and 29% “is primarily owned for family or sentimental reasons.”

The Hawkeye State’s numbers are indicative of almost all ag-centered states.

We farm-raised Boomers, it seems, revere farmland whether we farmed it or inherited it, and we tend to hold onto it despite recent low returns because that’s what our families have always done.

For many of our children, however, those softhearted family reasons don’t hold up to hard-nosed business analysis.

Indeed, their lack of affection, interest or knowledge of either farming or farmland provides most of the reasoning behind the coming turnover as we Boomers, lit-

erally and figuratively, retire.

The coming flush of land sales, however, doesn’t mean land prices will cheapen dramatically or that today’s young farmers can expect to buy land more easily in the coming years despite U.S. farmers over age 65 currently outnumbering those under 35 by a stunning 6-to-1 margin.

New, innovative ideas, however, are percolating to bridge the age, ownership, and land tenure gap in rural America.

Several will be showcased Oct. 21 in Red Wing, Minnesota, at the Upper Midwest Farmland Summit.

The convention’s overarching goal is to “help farmers successfully transition their farms both within and outside the family, and to assist beginning farmers to attain affordable land access.”

The gathering — one that should be replicated across farm country for years to come — is sponsored by the Farmland Access Hub. It will bring together farmers, attorneys, finance experts, conservationists and ag marketing professionals to “address these issues and discuss innovative strategies and solutions” now facing both older farmers, as well as aging farm communities.

For aging Boomers, though, it’s an almost bulls-eye shot at immortality, a way to transplant our love for the land and of farming into the hearts and minds of a new, caring generation for decades to come.

American Farm Bureau celebrates a century Your American Farm Bureau turns 100 next month, a truly special cause for celebration. All year long, we have been celebrating a century of working together for the men and women who grow our food, fiber and Zippy Duvall energy. This remarkable milestone is a testament to how much stronger we American are when we speak with Farm Bureau one voice.

Federation A lot has changed in 100 years, but farmers’ and ranchers’ most essential needs and concerns have not. Then and now, we need markets for what we produce, labor to grow and harvest it, infrastructure to transport it and fair prices to keep our businesses moving forward.

Thankfully, there is a strong, national organization working for those goals. Founded in November 1919, the American Farm Bureau Federation has given all farmers and ranchers a voice in our nation’s capital.

Because of the decision 100 years ago to establish the American Farm Bureau Federation, farmers and ranchers are represented when Congress works on a wide range of issues.

No matter what they grow or where they grow it, farmers and ranchers come together through Farm Bureau to work for the good of all of agriculture.

On a day-to-day basis, it’s easy to take

Founded in November 1919, the American Farm Bureau Federation has given all farmers and ranchers a voice in our nation’s capital. this organization for granted. It seems as if it always has been here for us farmers and ranchers, and it always will be. But to appreciate something’s true value, you need to imagine how things would be without it.

Without Farm Bureau, we would not have federal programs to provide risk management tools to help farmers and ranchers survive volatile ups and downs in the farm economy. Without this great organization, non-farm interests would drown out the voice of farmers and ranchers.

The American Farm Bureau was the first organization to bring groups of grassroots members to Washington, D.C., to influence their members of Congress in favor of farm legislation. Our Farm Bureau forefathers wrote the book on grassroots advocacy and influence, and we’re still proud of our grassroots structure.

We have been standing firm for farmers since day one. In the early days of Farm Bureau, Congress wanted to recess without voting on a farm bill.

The American Farm Bureau worked with a “farm bloc” of senators and representatives, however, to stop Congress

from recessing until the farm legislation was considered.

With that same passion, we continue to band together across Farm Bureau to ensure that Congress, the White House and federal agencies make our farmers and ranchers a priority.

We in Farm Bureau often say that if there wasn’t an American Farm Bureau, we’d have to create one today. Of course, the reality is we do “recreate” Farm Bureau with each new generation of grassroots farm and ranch leaders.

Each generation determines where this movement will go next, how engaged they will be and, therefore, how effective and influential Farm Bureau will be.

Each generation strengthens Farm Bureau for the next, so that future farmers and ranchers will have a strong, united voice working for them, too.

In an age when it seems that so much is coming and going faster than ever, it is such a blessing to be able to celebrate 100 years as an organization.

Much like the farmers and ranchers we represent, we tend to keep our heads down and hands on the plow here at American Farm Bureau, moving forward with the work that needs to get done.

I’m so thankful for this opportunity to pause and reflect on our organization’s history and the good work we’ve accomplished together. May God bless us with another fruitful century of Farm Bureau.

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

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

“It was said that trading in the grain pits came to a halt the day he visited the floor of the Chicago Board of Trade.

The floor traders had all heard of him and his exploits, but they had never actually seen him. And when he appeared on the Exchange floor, trading stopped.

“As the company Longstreet-Abbott was phased out, Mr. Longstreet founded

Clayton Commodity Service. The function of this firm was to provide research for Clayton Brokerage and to conduct business on its own.

“In 1970, I was hired by Mr. Longstreet to work for Clayton Commodity Service, the research arm of Clayton Brokerage. I had the opportunity to work closely with the Chief. He was called the Chief out of respect and admiration. No one called him anything but the Chief. Or, Mr. Longstreet.

“I worked directly under the Chief while I was employed by Clayton Commodity Service. I gained a wealth of knowledge about market fundamentals, trading, and psychology from him.

“Only in later years did I come to realize that such an experience was priceless. The Chief had one of the best analytical commodity minds that I have ever encountered. I realize that more today than I did as a very inexperienced and uninformed 24-year-old.

“The Chief could just look at the markets and all those dancing numbers and tell you where the prices would be six months down the road.

He was something!”

‘Thank You Farmers’ donations hit $2.5M PRAIRIE DU SAC, Wis. — Culver’s and its Thank You Farmers Project has raised $2.5 million to support agricultural education since its inception six years ago. So far in 2019, over $400,000 has been raised.

By 2050, the global population is expected to reach 9.8 billion, meaning farmers will have to produce 80% more food than they do today to feed ever yone. Money rais-

ed through Culver’s supports programs such as FFA and others that are educating the country’s future agricultural leaders.

“We’re facing a turning point in agriculture, and the responsibility to feed a growing population falls on all of us, not just farmers,” said Joe Koss, president and CEO at Culver’s.

“Our g uest s under stand this, and that’s why

they’ve helped us to raise money every year to support the future of agriculture.”

In addition to supporting agriculture education efforts, Culver’s is joining the efforts of national organizations in support of agriculture’s future.

Koss is a newly ap pointed member of the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance board of directors.

Tractor Supply launches Fall Paper Clover BRENTWOOD, Tenn. — Tractor Supply Company continues its mission to support youth in their local communities by launching its Fall Paper Clover campaign, a biannual fundraiser in partnership with National 4-H Council to provide scholarships for 4-H members.

The Paper Clover fundraiser provides thousands of dollars each year to offer opportunities for youth to attend conferences, 4-H camps and other developmental programs across the nation.

This fall, Tractor Supply is asking for customers to help them reach the $1 million goal by raising awareness of the campaign via social media shares of their paper clover donations with

#DonateAMillion.

To participate in the Fall Paper Clover campaign, Tractor Supply customers and team members can purchase a paper clover from Oct. 9-20 at stores nationwide. Customers also have the opportunity to donate online when making a purchase at TractorSupply.com.

Each donation benefits youth within the state where it was collected, providing scholarships for numerous state level 4-H programs. Fundraising efforts are sourced for programs and events such as visits to the state capitol to meet with the agricultural department, leadership conferences and camps where attendees can study a range of topics from beekeeping to raising and training an-

imals to forestry.

“Tractor Supply stands with 4-H in support of their community-based youth programs across the nation,” said Phil Reiter, vice president of national and local marketing at Tractor Supply Company. “Every Paper Clover donation goes toward furthering the education and development of 4-H youth as they explore their skills and interests related to the rural lifestyle and beyond. We are proud to support the next generation of our nation’s leaders.”

4-H clubs are encouraged to contact a Tractor Supply store to participate during the in-store fundraiser. For more information on Paper Clover, visit TractorSupply.com/4H.

Technology challenges pesticide rules EPA struggles to keep pace WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farms are constantly innovating, relying on cutting-edge technology and bioengineering to control pests.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, however, has struggled to keep pace, becoming rooted in a game of regulatory â&#x20AC;&#x153;whack-a-moleâ&#x20AC;?: When one chemical pesticide withers, another one sprouts up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regulate pesticides until their risk profiles are clear and fully developed,â&#x20AC;? said Purdue

University historian Frederick Davis, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Banned: A History of Pesticides and the Science of Toxicology.â&#x20AC;?

The cycle began in the 1940s with DDT and, later, or g a nopho s ph - Davis ate insecticides, both of which were exposed as harmful in Rachel Carsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1962 book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Silent Spring,â&#x20AC;? which sparked the modern environmental movement, Davis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constant shift from a pesticide like DDT, where the risk proďŹ le was well established through

the 1950s and 1960s,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though or g a nopho s ph ate insecticides were shown to be highly toxic, they became dominant from the 1970s to the early 2000s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A nd w he n t heir reg ist rations were canceled, farmers turned to neonicotinoids.â&#x20AC;?

Neonicotinoids are sprayed on a variety of seeds and cause plant tissues to become toxic to pest insects, said Davis, the R. Mark Lubbers Chair in the History of Science in

Purdueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Liberal Arts. Coming full circle, the chemical builds up in the environment, or bioaccumulates, similar to DDT, though more gradually. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides that is extremely eďŹ&#x20AC;ective against target organisms and has very low toxicity to most mammals, including humans,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been linked in scientiďŹ c reports to declines in grassland bird species and honeybees.â&#x20AC;?

Their love is reflected in virtually every room in the 63-room mansion, from the sculptures that adorn the ceilings and walls, the female figures resembling Adrianne and the male figures resembling Alan, to the more personal touches.

“These are all the Christmas cards we sent, every year we put out a Christmas card as a way to share what we were doing on the house,” he said.

The rooms also are full of memories, each with a story about the couple who renovated and enlarged the mansion, originally called Hillcrest.

“We had many, many dinner parties in this room. Adrianne loved giving dinner parties. She felt her job was to entertain, to make it a fun event,” St. George said, pausing in the formal dining room with its dark wood, Renaissance surroundings.

The table is set with a complete place setting, as it would have been for one of the St. Georges’ many dinner parties.

In the first major room, the front parlor, he pointed out the birds-eye maple woodwork, original to the house. That woodwork provoked a “pretty healthy” discussion between the St. Georges when they were transforming the mansion into their dream home.

“Adrianne wanted to paint it and do this as the ‘Louis’ room,” he said, referencing the famous “Sun King” of France, who built the Palace of Versailles. “I didn’t because this is really special wood. A carpenter came by and said ‘birds-eye maple parlor, the only one like it in the county.’

After that, she wouldn’t paint it.”

The artwork, from sculptures to the painted ceilings, are the work of St. George, a skilled

sculptor and painter. Cherubs, flowers, plaques with figures representing each of the four seasons and bearing the likenesses of Alan and Adrianne decorate walls, ceilings and fireplaces.

The painted ceilings also are his masterpieces.

“I worked on the ceiling, it was done in two canvases and then lifted and glued onto the ceiling, the paintings on the walls match it,” he said.

Guests purchase tickets at the visitors center, originally the first home of the Greenleaf family, who started and owned the Savanna Times-Journal newspaper. Francis Greenleaf and his wife Margaret built the 20room mansion that would become Havencrest, starting in 1899 and finishing in 1901. They called the big house on the hill Hillcrest.

The tours are self-guided, with stops throughout the two floors of the mansion.

The rooms are a throwback to a much earlier time — and that reflects the St. Georges themselves, St. George said.

“She was just like somebody from an earlier time. She wore the dresses to the floor all the time, even in the daytime. That was her style, she loved floorlength dresses. I think she was really a Victorian at heart,” St. George said.

Rooms like the Chinese tea room, the conservatory and the medieval Great Hall offer glimpses into other times and cultures. The Chinese tea room, which is a dramatic departure from the rest of the mansion, is a surprise.

“It’s such a different mood and different lighting. It turns out it’s come to be one of the favorites on the tour. I think because it’s such a departure from the rest of the house,” St. George said.

For the St. Georges, tailoring their mansion was a way to explore other lands and cultures.

“It has been a pleasure, since we didn’t travel, to travel this way. To just go from room to room, you can go from France to England to China,” St. George said.

Their renovation and additions also include episodes that any homeowner can relate to.

The conservatory that fronts the mansion and whose windows look out over the streets below that march down to the Mississippi River provided one of those.

When the St. Georges purchased the mansion, they envisioned a Victorian conservatory, with live plants providing greenery and blooms year-round as sun streamed in the windows.

“We thought OK, southern exposure. But even though it’s southern exposure, it’s not enough because the oak trees are big now, compared to when the Greenleafs had their conservatory. We didn’t factor that in,” St. George said.

They adapted, though. The conservatory has the soothing sounds of a bubbling brook and the croaks of a frog and chirps of crickets can be heard. Trees and vines and flowers proliferate amid the sculpture that looks aged and weathered.

“We just went with the whimsy. We’ll have a weeping willow that actually weeps. We’ll have electronic butterflies that open and close their wings and stuff that you couldn’t do with live plants,” St. George said.

The newest room to be completed is the ballroom. The massive room is the biggest room in the house and was part of what St. George calls the “grand project.”

“From 1993 to 2005 was the construction but the interiors still go on even now. We’re just finishing the ballroom. It was 10 years just to make all of the lifesized sculptures in it, I have 25 sculptures,” St. George said.

Havencrest Castle perches on a hillside overlooking the Mississippi River in Savanna, Illinois. The Greenleaf family, publishers of the Savanna Times-Journal newspaper, owned the hill on which the mansion sits, along with a section of flat land below the hill.

The ballroom, like all of the house, continues with the memories of Adrianne St. George and their years spent together.

For Alan St. George, the big mansion on the hill remains and continues as a home and

as a monument to the love they shared, that he now shares with visitors.

“I hope she’s all right with it.

I think she would be,” he said.

The company also has a license to make Woodsy Owl, who used to partner with Smokey the Bear, with the familiar motto of “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!”

In fact, the company recently filled a large order of the popular fire prevention mascot.

“We just shipped 28 Smokey the Bear costumes to North Carolina, which was the biggest order in our history. Usually we ship one or two at a time,” he
