MCHENRY, Ill. — Market analysts believe corn and soybeans are appropriately priced based on what is known on the supply and demand sides, but don’t expect any final answers about this year’s crop until early 2020 — and then there’s the trade issues.

Allendale’s president Steve Georgy and chief strategist Rich Nelson reviewed both the current U.S. Department of Agriculture data and the “what- if” scenarios in a webinar Oct. 15.

Here’s what they had to say in the Q&A portion of the webinar.

China obviously has been the big story. Can we play the “what if” game and what if the trade deal goes through and what if China makes some major ag purchases as they seemingly promised? What would the balance sheets look like if that should happen?

Nelson: “Let’s say China buys 30 million tons of soybeans and ship it out all of the way through next August. That 30 million tons in this marketing year gets us about 1.1 billion bushels, and that’s about 600 million bushels over what was done this past year. So, that’s good news.

“Some of that 600 million bushels will be offset because we have a lot of new business in the European Union and others.

the landscape and see what the soil is telling you.”

Brown highlighted several principles of regenerative agriculture including using no-till for growing crops.

“We have to cut back on the synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides because they have negative impacts to the soil ecosystem,” Brown said.

“We need to armor the soil by leaving residue from crops,” he said. “If you leave the soil bare, it’s prone to wind and water erosion, and as temperatures rise, evaporation increases, which are negative to a healthy, functioning soil ecosystem.”

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The lengthy wet spring that pushed planting later and later also kept western corn rootworm numbers down across chunks of Illinois.

Kelly Estes, University of Illinois state ag pest survey coordinator, said there were a lot of question entering 2019 if the arctic temperatures would impact insect populations.

“We weren’t sure and as we headed into spring we ended up with record precipitation and consecutive months of precipitation that led to delayed planting, no planting and just more chaos,” Estes said at U of I’s Agronomy Day. “The wet spring and early summer led into a very dry July in some areas at about the time we were beginning to do the survey.”

It turned out to be good news in terms of lower western corn rootworm populations with the Illinois average down to 0.10 rootworms per plant this year.

The average in 2018 was 0.11 per plant, and it was 0.51 in 2017.

Estes noted the higher levels in 2017 were primarily due to a heavily infested field in Kane County that drove up the average.

“This year, we had a very wet spring, saturated soils, rootworms can’t swim, no corn (due to late planting) and they starved, but there were areas that we did see survival,” she said.

HARVARD, Ill. — Regenerative agriculture uses farming practices that build soil and increase biodiversity. “ R e ge ne r at i ve a g r ic u l ture takes sustainable a step higher,” said Linda Balek, farm program manager for The Land Conser vancy of McHenr y County. “A big part of regenerative agriculture is modeled after nature.”

At one time, there were buffalo grazing on the prairie that had continuous cover of deep-rooted perennial plants, Balek said during a Learning Circle hosted by The Land Conser vancy of McHenr y County and the McHenry-Lake

Soil and Water Conservation District.

“The buffalo would move through the prairies, eat some of the grass and fertilize the soil,” she said.

A video featuring Gabe Brown, a farmer near Bismarck, North Dakota, was shown during the meeting.

“The current production model is broken, it’s not working and it’s not sustainable,” Brown said in the video.

The North Dakota farmer started making changes on his farm by using no-till and planting cover crops.

“I saw a real change in the health of our soil,” he said.

“In regenerative agriculture, you have to be able to use the power of observation to look at

EMINGTON, Ill. — Kacie Haag’s interest in nutrient management has developed into a multi-faceted project that has resulted in national recognition.

The Tri-Point FFA member is one of four finalists for the American Star in Agriscience award, which will be presented during the 92nd National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis on Nov. 1.

“I never thought I could get to this point — it’s amazing,” Haag said. “It’s an honor to be where I am today since only 16 people in the FFA each year get this reward.”

In addition to Haag, the American Star in Agriscience finalists include: Courtney Cameron, Valdosta, Georgia; Amelia Hayden, Sharon, Wisconsin; and Olivia Pflaumer, Chillicothe, Ohio.

Haag’s project includes four intertwining aspects that she has done on her family’s farm which includes a wean-to-finish swine operation.

“We have about 9,000 pigs at any given time on our farm, and we grow corn and soybeans on about 2,600 acres,” said the daughter of Mike and Trisha Haag.

“Growing up, my favorite part of farming was helping grandpa spread manure on the fields,” the Star finalist said.

Farmer-to-Farmer Program brings help to other countries

By Erica Quinlan AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

GREENCASTLE, Ind. — If you’ve ever wanted to volunteer to empower underserved farmers, now is your chance.

The Farmer-to-Farmer Program provides technical assistance from U.S. volunteers to farmers, farm groups, agribusinesses and other institutions in developing countries.

The goal is to promote s u s t a i n a ble i mpr ove ments in food security and agricultural processing, production and marketing.

Sequoia Ireland, a recruiter for the program, is searching for volunteers to lead efforts in South A mer ican cof fee and cacao farms.

Ireland led a webinar hosted by Purdue Women in Agriculture.

“We’re an organization that represents cooperatives in the U.S. and on a global scale,” she said.

“Over the last 65 years, we’ve worked in 89 countries. In 2018, we had 31 projects in 21 countries. “ We h e lp e d ov e r 400,000 farmers, including 150,000 women. Women play a huge role in agriculture.”

Volunteers spend two to four weeks helping farmers strengthen their skills.

“In the past, we worked in El Salvador, where farmers were experiencing pests and disease in their coffee fields, as well as their cucumbers and tomatoes,” Ireland said.

“We sent a volunteer down from Illinois. She was able to provide them with measures they could take to prevent those threats from ravaging their fields.”

Volunteer criteria: Q U.S. citizen or green card holder.

Q Technical skills and experience.

Q Two to four weeks’ availability.

Q Availability to virtually meet with field staff or host organization, as well as prepare training materials prior to the in-country assignment.

“We helped over 400,000 farmers, including 150,000 women. Women play a huge role in agriculture.”

Societal changes impact milk sales

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MADISON, Wis. — A variety of factors impact the amount of milk U.S. consumers are drinking today.

“Milk is consumed in 94% of the houses in the U.S.,” said Paul Ziemnisky, Dairy Management Inc.’s Global Innovation Partnerships executive vice president. “That’s 117 million households, so despite all the innovation launched over the last four years, we still have a significant footprint.”

Of the consumers that purchase milk, Ziemnisky said, 65 million households purchase 33 gallons of milk per year.

“Another 52 million households buy 29 million gallons of milk, but they’re buying five gallons of alternative product,” he said during an educational seminar at the World Dairy Expo.

“These households are explorers that want new flavors and new benefits, so we have to get it to them to keep milk relevant.”

About 4 million households buy plant-based beverages exclusively, Ziemnisky said.

“That’s not our competition,” he said.

Ziemnisky highlighted several factors that are impacting the sale of milk, including societal changes.

“Seventy percent of households in the U.S. don’t have kids, and people are having kids later,”

he noted. “For some households, a gallon of milk is not relevant. They need different forms.”

In addition, many families have changing breakfast Ziemnisky behaviors.

“Consumers aren’t sitting down eating breakfast, so the decline of cereal consumption has driven 25% of milk’s decline,” Ziemnisky said.

“People are eating breakfast sandwiches on the go, and our cheese business is growing because of that.”

DMI has a partnership with McDonald’s that helped the company re-launch the McCafé business.

“Our fluid milk sales are growing in that channel,” Ziemnisky said. “But it hurts us because they’re not at home having milk with cereal.”

The consumption of bottled water and coffee are impacting the sales of milk.

“People are paying $30 to $50 per gallon for premium water and for coffee beverages — $3.99 for eight to 10 ounces,” Ziemnisky said. “So, there’s a lot of opportunity for premiumization of milk.”

During the last decade, he said, flavor and carbonization has driven the growth of water.

“For coffee it’s portability or ready to drink coffee,” he said.

“So, it’s grab-and-go coffee.”

HEALTHY LIVING “Today’s consumers are focused on living a holistic lifestyle,” said Kristiana Alexander, Dairy Management Inc.’s Global Innovation Partnerships director, who also spoke during the seminar.

“That is a lifestyle that emphasizes a connection of your mind, your body and the planet,” Alexander said. “It’s about what’s good for me and my family, for my community and ultimately the earth.”

Alexander said DMI is focusing on three areas of innovation for dairy products — peak performance, sensorial experiences and responsible consumption.

“Because people are focused on a holistic lifestyle, these are not mutually exclusive,” she said. “So, many products are being launched that tap into multiple consumer needs and multiple trends.”

For pea k per for ma nce, Alexander said, this means health no longer is the opposite of illness.

“It is an endless journey towards optimization,” she said.

“It includes basic nutrition, enhanced nutrition, gut and brain health and energy.”

Protein is a fixture in diets.

“Year after year, consumers are looking to get more protein in their diet,” Alexander said.

“Sugar today is the enemy and people are looking to consume less sugar,” she said. “One area that gets the g reen l ig ht is when suAlexander gar comes from nat u ral sources like products that are sweetened with ingredients like honey, maple or dates.”

Providing enhanced nutrition is all about bringing food and ingredients that people want more of into beverages, Alexander said.

“Digestive wellness is the biggest driver of food and health,” she said. “Fiber is back, and 44% of U.S. consumers are looking to increase their fiber intake, so there’s a 21% average annual growth in products carrying a fiber claim.”

Mental health, Alexander said, is just as important as physical health for consumers.

“They are looking for natural remedies to fight the daily stresses of modern life,” she said.

Examples include natural herbs that counteract stress in the body such as ginseng.

“CBD oil is popping up in food and beverages,” Alexander said.

“The oil is extracted from the plant, and it is used for de-stressing and high anxiety.”

Consumers seek sensorial experiences that make them feel good.

“People want products designed specifically for them,” Alexander said. “People are willing to pay more for access to experiences.”

Floral flavors such as hibiscus, elder flower, lavender and rose now are found in beverages.

“They lend themselves really nicely to dairy because they have a soft, subtle flavor that is not too extreme to your taste buds,” Alexander said.

“As people move further away from the farm, they crave storytelling and education to bring them back to the farm,” she said.

“Storytelling, transparency and knowing where your food comes from is top of mind for consumers because they want to know the origins of the products.”

Since plastic now is a global issue, Alexander said, people are looking for ways to rethink plastic.

“It is about waste reduction, reusing and recycling and thinking of new packaging,” she said.

“We have to think of ways to reinvent plastic.”

Social media influencer helping to promote pork

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHICAGO — During the month of October, National Pork Month, the Illinois Pork Producers Association is partnering with Instagram grilling super star and influencer, @ Grillin_with_Dad, to help promote pork.

But what does it take to be an Instagram influencer? And do this dad’s kids actually eat what he grills?

AgriNews talked to Maciek Zurawski about his food traditions, his Instagram fame and if his kids really eat what he cooks.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.

You hail from Poland?

“I was born and raised in Poland. I lived about two hours from Warsaw, the town was Lomza. We moved here in 1991, when I was 10 years old, and we came straight to Chicago. I have lived here ever since. I do have strong roots back to Poland, a lot of extended family is back there.”

PROVIDED PHOTO

Maciek Zurawski goes by the Instagram name of @grillin_with_dad. The native of Poland was gifted with a Big Green Egg grill and smoker by his wife. He decided to post photos and videos of his meat grilling and smoking experiences to Instagram to have a record of his successes and failures. His Instagram account has over 194,000 followers.

Your Instagram handle is @grillin_with_dad. Do your kids really eat what you cook?

“I have a 5-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter. It’s a mixed bag between the two. My son is definitely the bigger carnivore of the two, so he likes all the barbecue I put out.

“He always enjoys eating the

meat and my daughter likes the veggies more than the meat. If I put a plate together of the meat and the veggies, between the two of them, they’ll finish it.”

What does it mean to be an “Instagram influencer?”

“It’s basically someone who has gained an audience of followers and you help promote certain products. You tell people what to use and how to use it, with the goal that someone will go out and buy the product or you encourage them to try something new at home. That’s what I do with my page.”

Let’s talk about this partnership with Illinois Pork Producers Association. You’re partnering with them for October, which is National Pork Month. What are you going to do?

“This partnership with Illinois Pork is so great because I already cook a lot of pork, so working with them is kind of a natural fit to help come up with some new recipes with pork and help promote it on my page.

“I did a couple of posts for pork month, for October. I did baby back ribs, a stuffed pork loin and a crown roast.”

What is your favorite pork dish to cook and eat?

“I would probably have to say ribs. I’ve always enjoyed ribs and since I got my Big Green Egg and started cooking them

frequently at home, I really, really enjoy eating them now that I can make them the way I like.

It’s one of my favorites, even though I don’t make it as often as I should or could.”

What’s a favorite pork dish that your mom makes?

“I definitely enjoy them all, but — and you can probably ask any Polish person this and they would say the same thing — it’s a pan-fried pork chop, like a breaded pork chop, that is flattened out and breaded and pan fried. You serve it with mashed potatoes, and it’s the best thing to eat.”

For the record, the dish is called Kotlet Schabowy, or Kotlety Schabowy.

What question do you get the most about cooking pork?

“They always ask what’s a good, safe temperature to cook or how to cook pork that it doesn’t dry out. Get a meat thermometer, cook it to 145 degrees and you are going to be super happy with whatever you are making.

“You don’t need to brine it or do anything crazy with it. Just cook it to the right temperature and it’s good to go.”

Low corn rootworm numbers offer chance to rethink options

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Consecutive years of low western corn rootworm pressure provide an opportunity to consider different management strategies.

Relentless spring rains pushed western corn rootworm populations to new lows, according to a statewide pest survey.

“In general, 2020 looks like it’s probably going to be a pretty low pressure year in rotated corn for rootworm beetles,” said Joe Spencer, University of Illinois entomologist and Illinois Natural History Survey principal research scientist.

“It’s a good opportunity to think about how you can manage rootworm beetles, cut some of my costs and maybe reduce the pressure on resistance in rootworm beetles.”

Although overall numbers may be low, populations can vary from field to field and scouting is extremely important to determine infestations.

“There’s a lot of variability. You can have areas with nothing and areas that have rootworms that you don’t even think about. You can’t rely on somebody showing their summary rootworm map for the state. You have to do your own scouting. You have to look in your field because you might have a hot spot. You can’t assume you don’t have a

rootworm problem,” Spencer said at U of I’s Agronomy Day. RESISTANCE L i ke we eds de vel opi n g her bicide resisWestern corn tance, westrootworm beetle ern corn rootworms are have developing resistance to toxins in Bt corn hybrids. Pest management strategies are important in order to maintain the current technology.

Spencer provided data from trials using hybrids with no rootworm protection, a single trait hybrid with the Cry3Bb1 toxin, a single with the Cry34/35Ab1 toxin and a hybrid with both toxins.

There were over 85 beetles per plant in the hybrids with no rootworm protection.

In plants with the single trait Cry3Bb1, 60 beetles per plant were collected.

“That was the equivalent of not really having any rootworm protection at all. That’s what we know from years of experience, that the Cry3 trait are suffering from a lot of resistance in rootworm beetles,” Spencer said.

With the Cry34/35Ab1 rootworm trait, there were significantly less beetles emerging from plants, indicating that the

product expressing that trait provides a significant reduction in beetle populations.

“It’s a little bit strange here, but we looked at SmartStax, which combines the two Bt traits, and we had more beetles coming out than in the single trait Cry34/35Ab1. We would expect fewer, but this speaks to the variability, at a time when the rootworm eggs were already hatching. So, I think this is variability in my system,” Spencer added.

“We found that if you have no Bt trait or the Cry3Bb1 trait, you had very significant damage to the roots. Cry3Bb1 expressed in corn as a single trait hybrid is the same as doing nothing to protect your corn from rootworms. There’s resistance to this trait.

“There was significant reduction in root injury from rootworms with Cry34/35Ab1 and a combination of that trait and the Cry3Bb1. It tells us that the Cry34/35Ab1 trait is providing the value in Bt hybrids. That trait is what’s protecting our corn from all of these rootworm beetles.”

Spencer noted that all of the western corn rootworm populations in Champaign area have resistance at different levels.

“You’re just going to have variability in how many you see.

However, if you want to protect your corn you need to make

Western corn rootworm counts were at an all-time low in University of Illinois plots at Urbana. Joe Spencer, U of I entomologist and principal research scientist, Illinois Natural History Survey, said the lower populations provide a chance to use a different integrated pest management approach. sure you have the Cry34/35Ab1 trait in your hybrids because it is the only Bt that’s providing protection against western corn rootworm in Champaign County plots,” he said.

PRESERVE TECHNOLOGY Given that Cry34/35Ab1 is the lone trait providing protection, it’s important that the technology be protected to extend is viability.

“The low rootworm population in the area over recent years also gives us the opportunity to think that if I want to reduce the possibility that Bt resistance is going to creep up, if I don’t have an economic rootworm population and I can layoff using Bt, I can reduce the pressure that could select for resistance to get worse,” Spencer said.

“So, when you have a low population, if you can avoid using Bt and either if you’re planting continuous corn you rotate to soybeans or go with a non-Bt hybrid and soil insecticide, if that’s possible, that will reduce the rootworm pressure.

“We also have to scout. You can’t just assume you don’t have a rootworm population. Scouting is really important. If you think you’re doing integrated pest management and you’re not scouting, you’re not doing integrated pest management. Scouting is one of the pillars of integrated pest management.”

Face your fears Keynote speaker empowers students

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDI A NA POLIS — Mo tivational speaker Michelle Poler is on a mission to empower future leaders to choose growth over comfort, embrace their authentic selves and lead courageously.

Poler will speak during the Sixth General Session at the National FFA Convention at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1.

“The enemy of success is not failure — it’s actually comfort,” she said. “Sometimes the things we want the most are just one act of bravery away.”

Poler is founder of Hello Fears, a social movement empowering millions to step outside of the

comfort zone and tap into their full potential.

To redefine her definition of fear, Poler completed a project in which she faced 100 fears in 100 days.

At around day 40, the project was discovered by the media — becoming a worldwide viral phenomenon.

Students at the session will learn about daring to fail, dealing with the unknown, embracing change and other important topics.

New York Times best-selling author Bob Goff also will be a keynote speaker at the convention.

Goff will speak during Opening Session 1A at 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 30 and Opening Session 1B at 8 a.m. on Oct. 31.

Promoting diversity is an important principle of regenerative agriculture.

“In production agriculture, we’re seeing monoculture cash crops and only one species of livestock on our pastures,” Brown said.

“It is important to leave living roots in the soil,” he said. “The monocultures only grow for a short period of time and then there’s nothing left to grow and feed the soil biology.”

Brown also highlighted the need to graze animals on the grasslands in a way that will proliferate the health of the rangelands.

Spring Duffey, resource analyst and McHenry County wetland specialist for the McHenryLake County SWCD, talked about the Saving Tomorrow’s Agriculture Resources program during the meeting.

“This program was started in Champaign County, and it is a way to evaluate fields to see how good

you’re doing on soil health practices and water practices,” she said.

A form is filled out for each field and the farmer indicates types of practices that are used such as cover crops, soil sampling, crop rotation, tillage and conservation management.

“You turn that form into my office and the field is rated from one to five stars,” Duffey said. “After a field is rated, this provides you an opportunity to come up with ideas for conservation practices you would like to see utilized so you can raise the score.”

The STAR program gives landowners an idea what is happening on their farm.

“We offer field signs with the number of stars on them,” Duffey said.

The meeting included a visit to the farm of a Learning Circle participant.

“This was my aunt’s farm and she raised Arabian horses here,” said Janie Jeske. “Now it belongs to me and my brother and sister.”

Lawrence Creek runs through part of the farm that totals just shy of 50 acres. A tree line along

the west edge of the farm provides a windbreak.

“It also creates microclimates, and it helps with moisture levels in dry years,” Duffey said. “There are a lot of benefits from the trees, including blocking smells if there were animals here.”

“The house is a late 1800s federal style home, and it is gutted, so it needs everything,” Jeske said. “I was trying to figure out how I could live here, but we are going to have to sell the farm.”

Attending Learning Circle meetings have helped Jeske gain knowledge about farm ownership.

“I live in Plainfield, which is about two hours away,” she said.

“Women are really interested in maintaining land and learning about the prairie.”

The downward trend in western corn rootworm populations continued in 2019, Kelly Estes, University of Illinois state ag pest survey coordinator, reported at the annual Agronomy Day.

PESTS

FROM PAGE ONE

The survey found larger western corn rootworm numbers in the west-southwest crop reporting district.

“They were primarily from one field in Greene County which by our best guess was a non-GMO field. There were a couple of sites in Christian County that were lower than Greene, but had more than zero.

We had a few rootworms show up in Iroquois, Champaign, McLean and Logan counties in corn,” Estes said.

Similar lower populations were found in soybeans that were below 2018.

“Our bigger numbers in soybeans came out of Iroquois and Champaign counties, but overall very low numbers of western corn rootworms across the states. Grundy County as our lone county in the northeast that had rootworms in soybeans and Coles County was the lone county in the east-southeast crop reporting district that had western corn rootworms in soybeans,” Estes said.

FEWER BEETLES The survey found lower Japanese beetle counts across the state, but there were heavy pockets.

The 2019 state average for Japanese beetles was 19.6 per 100 sweeps compared to 47.8 in last year and 28.3 in 2017.

However, larger numbers were fond in the northeast and east-central crop reporting districts in Illinois with averages of 52.6 and 51.3, respectively.

The lower numbers overall was primarily attributed to the wet spring and saturated soils.

“In 2019, everything was lower across the state except for Champaign, Iroquois and Livingston counties that all had higher Japanese beetle numbers. We got into Iroquois County, the northern part of Ford County and Livingston County where it also had some of the higher prevent plant acres that we’ve seen when we were out as well,” Estes said.

“As we traveled the state, we got to see a good indication of who planted and who didn’t, and there was also such great

variation in crop development stages this year in soybeans.

We’re generally sweeping R state soybeans that are waist to chest high, and we were rarely in waist-high beans. Almost everything was between waist and knee, and there were a few that were barely past my ankle.

“We tried to avoid sweeping those just because you get a better indication of insect pressure in soybeans that are a little farther along bit it was still every interesting to see that at the end of July.”

OTHER BUGS After a year when numbers were on the rise, defoliating insects such as grasshoppers, stink bugs, loopers and cloverworm populations were low in 2019 with the exception of the southern part of Illinois.

Bean leaf beetles and grape colaspis are typically sporadic and that continued to be the trend this year.

“We hit some areas that had very high grape colaspis. We had seen in past years more grape colaspis in the east and southeast, but those numbers were pretty low this year. We did pick up grape colaspis in the west-central area this year, but not at very high levels,” Estes said.

Northern corn rootworms numbers were also low, except for a few hot spots in Ford and Lee counties.

Dectes stem borer was added to this year’s survey.

“Dectes stem borer has been a concern in the southeast part of Illinois, particularly as we get down into the very southeast where they’re seeing higher numbers and injury caused by Dectes stem borer. We get into places like Wayne, Saline and Gallatin counties and they’re averaging 7 per 100 sweeps, which I considered pretty high at the time,” Estes noted.

“We found it in different counties in the southern half of the state. We were also surprised to see it in higher numbers in Pike County. We picked it up in every field we surveyed in Pike County. We had seen it in DeKalb County in 2003. We know they’re there, but probably just in lower numbers across the state and we’re seeing must higher numbers in the south.”

“I don’t know what it was, but I really enjoyed helping with the process.”

As a high school student, Haag and her grandpa conducted a demonstration on injecting manure during a Soil and Water Conser vation Dist r ict event.

“Dr. Howard Brown was at the booth next to us, and he offered me to be in the N-Watch trial,” she said.

For the N-Watch part of Haag’s FFA project,

TORRANCE FROM PAGE ONE

The Star finalist started three FFA projects his freshman year that included 20 acres of corn, 20 acres of soybeans and 14 head of Hereford cattle.

His projects grew to total 100 acres of corn, 100 acres of soybeans and 22 head of beef cattle.

“For my corn and soybean projects, I am in charge of making seed decisions and planting decisions to determine when is a good time to plant,” Torrance said.

“As the year went on, I decided what things I should do to control pests through chemical means or other ways and also I did the harvesting and marketing of my crops.”

In addition, to the daily care for his cattle, Torrance also made breeding decisions for his animals, as well as how to market his heifers and bulls.

“I sold cattle through private treaty,” he said.

“And my dad has two or three online sales each year, and he let me put some of my animals into his sales.”

Torrance also enjoyed exhibiting his cattle at several shows.

“I st ar ted show ing around 8 years old, and my first year we went to three county fairs,” he said.

Now, Torrance exhibits his cattle at the Illinois Hereford Junior Preview Show, the Junior National Hereford Expo, the Illinois State Fair and his county fair when his schedule allows.

“Showing my cattle is pretty much the highlight of every summer,” he said.

“Working with the cattle, washing show cattle and going to shows, that’s most of the summers.”

The junior showman has achieved success with his entries.

“I raised the Champion Horned Hereford bull at the Illinois State Fair, and I raised a couple division and reserve division champions at the Junior Nationals,” he said.

Now a sophomore at the University of Illinois studying crop science with

she tests four fields on her farm.

“I test one spot in the field to give me a reading of how much nitrogen is in the soil at that given time at the 1-foot and 2-foot levels,” Haag said. “I also test the water tiles around our fields for nitrogen, so not only do I know how much is in the field, but I also know how much is leaving our fields.”

THE DIRT ON SOIL Haag’s soil testing work is part of the farm’s comprehensive nutrient management plan.

“I do soil tests on every a minor in animal science, Torrance enjoyed several FFA activities as a high school student including the agronomy, meats, land use and livestock career development events.

“I’m taking a weeds class now, and we took a quiz for identifying weeds,” he said. “A lot of the weeds were the same ones I learned for the agronomy contest through FFA.” Currently advised by Wyatt McGrew, Torrance’s path in FFA is a little different than many members.

“My high school didn’t have an ag program my freshman year, so I attended West Prairie High School for FFA,” he said.

“Every morning, we took a bus to the school for ag classes and came back to Macomb for the rest of the day.”

The ag program started at Macomb for the Star finalist’s second year of high school. Torrance held FFA offices each year in high school, including green-

field, every three years to test for potassium, phosphorus and pH,” she said.

“For my manure project, I help to apply manure that is injected on our fields.”

The FFA member also established nitrogen trial plots.

“I’ve been testing different sources and rates of nitrogen to see which is the most efficient use of nitrogen,” she said. “I’m testing the four Rs of nitrogen — right place, right time, right source and right rate.”

In addition serving as her chapter’s greenhand vice president, secretary

for two years and vice president, Haag also enjoyed attending the FFA state and national conventions.

“There are so many FFA activities I really enjoyed, including the veterinary science and food science career development events,” Haag said.

“The honor of wearing the blue jacket next to so many others and knowing that so many people before me wore the blue jacket really touches home with me,” she said. “And knowing that my dad had a blue jacket, too.”

Both Haag’s grandpa

hand treasurer as a freshman, historian during his sophomore year, treasurer as a junior and president during his senior year.

In addition to his advisers, Torrance said, his parents are a very important part of his FFA achievements.

“I followed my dad around, trying to learn as much as I could from him, and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without him,” he said. “My mom helped me with organization and time management skills, and she also helped with the show cattle during the summer.”

After completing his degree at the U of I, Torrance plans to return to his family farm.

“I would like to take over the management role some day,” he said. “I don’t think my dad will ever fully be retired, but I try to learn as much as I can so when that day comes I’ll be prepared.”

Martha Blum

and dad have supported her to complete her FFA projects.

“In all my endeavors and any project I wanted to start, they are always willing to put in a hand when needed,” Ha a g said.

“As well as my FFA adviser, Diana Loschen, who pushed me when I thought I didn’t need a push,” she said. “I am super grateful she pushed me.”

Haag is currently a senior at the University of Illinois, where she is studying agriculture leadership education and communications. A fter ob-

taining her degree, Haag’s goal is to teach agriculture literacy for a group such as the Farm Bureau or Extension.

“And hopefully I will be close to home so I can help on the farm and continue my research,” she said.

McKinney leads ag trade mission to Vietnam More than $5 million in sales expected

By Erica Quinlan AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

H A NOI, V IET NA M — Ted McKinney led an agriculture trade mission to Vietnam, where more than $5 million in sales are expected to have been made.

McK inney, undersecretary for trade and for-

eign agricultural affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was accompanied Oct. 15-18 by nearly 80 industry and government representatives.

It was the third-largest ag trade mission to date.

“The size of this trade mission delegation speaks to the phenomenal potential that exists for U.S. exporters in Vietnam and surrounding countries,” McKinney said.

There were 34 companies and 13 state departments of agriculture represented on the trip.

A total of 665 sales meetings were conducted in three days.

Vietnam was chosen for the mission for its rapidly growing economy and interest in U.S. food and agricultural products.

“We do three things on these trips,” McKinney said. “We always bring along people who are going to sell stuff. These may be branded companies or sometimes commodity groups.

“Meanwhile the rest of us are off doing two other things: visiting cus-

tomers and doing government-to-government meetings.”

The mission included stops in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Buyer delegations from Thailand and Myanmar also were held.

“As with many countries, we’re always working back and forth to gain further access to their markets,” McKinney said.

“We’re very pleased to report that recently we were given access to the fresh blueberry (market) in Vietnam and in exchange Vietnamese mangos began

entering the U.S. market.

That’s the kind of thing we’re doing.”

McKinney described relations between Vietnam and the United States as outstanding.

“We see enormous potential for food, agriculture and fuel, maybe even fiber products, going from the U.S. to Vietnam,” he said.

“Clearly, the U.S. is a country they want to do business with. And without any doubt, Vietnam is a place we want to do business with.”

Two more ag trade missions will be held this year to Ghana and Mexico.

McKinney anticipates seven or more ag trade missions in 2020.

has risen over the last decade in line with the growing middle-class. The country’s booming hotel, restaurant and industry sectors continue to drive up the demand for imported beef, pork, poultry and seafood.

Cotton: Cotton has emerged as the leading U.S. agricultural export product to Vietnam over the past five years. Cotton exports now account for 49% of all U.S. agricultural exports to Vietnam.

Food preparations/miscellaneous beverages: As annual tourism and disposable income increase in Vietnam, consumer demand for prepared foods is rising.

Other goods: Vietnam’s imports of fresh vegetables have grown considerably to reach $920 million last year. However, the United States exported only $1 million, consisting mostly of fresh potatoes.

GSI INTERSYSTEMS

Advanced fertilizer blend tower featured

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A combination of speed, accuracy and capacity were on display via a mixed reality experience at the Midwest Ag Industries Exposition.

Show attendees wearing reality glasses were able to see an animated, holographic model of the GSI InterSystems dry fertilizer blend tower. Four simulated platform levels were featured to demonstrate how each component works.

Nate Reznechek, GSI’s crop nutrient equipment sales director, said the GSI InterSystems engineered-to-order fertilizer systems enable ag retailers to go beyond standard with full-site solutions that include an advanced blending tower.

The dry crop nutrients delivery system design focuses on speed, blend quality, safety and flexibility.

“There’s speed that’s all the way from the top with up to 300 tons of storage, all the way through our full-open dual stage gates,

double weigh hoppers, eight-ton horizontal mixer that can batch blend eight tons inside of 45 seconds into a 16-ton surge hopper below. So, everything is big. Everything is fully open. We have sharp angles so the product flows right through quickly,” Reznechek said.

“For blend quality, our eight-ton horizontal twin shaft high-speed all stainless mixer gets us there. It can batch that eight tons in 45 seconds. It’s an A-grade blend. You don’t get anything better than that, and you have impregnation ability with that, as well.

FLEXIBILITY “The final thing is flexibility. No one really knows what the future holds and what new products we’re going to be blending, so having that robust ability to be flexible.

“Another feature we have is split-pan spouting inside of our tower. So, you can take a product and go to either hopper. That helps speeds the process up, as well.”

Safety features include a full height stairs options

1.9% that can start from grade that are Occupational Safety and Health Administration-approved with a 40 degree rise and standard 24-inch wide steps.

“With up to 300 tons storage and 12 different storage compartments, you have the ability to impregnate all of those things.

It allows your business to adapt to the changing conditions. And, of course, it’s a fully automated system that allows one person to be able to manage the operation of this tower, not several people like in the past,” Reznechek said.

“This will fill 13 24-ton trucks inside of an hour.

Product flows from the top of the tower into the truck in less than five minutes. That’s pushing a lot of product. If your operation doesn’t need that kind of throughput and blend quality, there are other cheaper options that have less, but there are tradeoffs of course with all of that.”

$16.2M in funding to support veteran farmers

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced $16.2 million of funding to support veterans and socially disadvantaged farmers.

Grants will be used to provide training, outreach and technical assistance to farmers and ranchers.

Grants are awarded to higher education institutions, nonprofit and community-based organizations to extend USDA’s

engagement efforts.

Projects funded under the program include conferences, workshops and demonstrations.

“All farmers and ranchers deserve equal access to USDA programs and ser v ices,” sa id Mi ke Beatty, director of the USDA Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement.

“2501 grants go a long way in fulfilling our mission to reach historically underserved communities and ensure their equitable participation in our programs.”

The 2501 Program was created through the 1990 farm bill to help socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers and foresters,

The 2014 farm bill ex-

panded the program’s reach to veterans.

Since 2010, the 2501 Program has awarded 484 grants totaling $119.5 million.

High demand seen for fall fertilizer applications

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — With record high prevented plant acres and last fall’s anhydrous application challenges, there’s speculation the post-planting season will be busy for the fertilizer industry.

“We’re all focused on 2020 right now, and starting 2020 off starts with a great fall. I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand right now for a lot of fall anhydrous to run, especially in Illinois in areas where there’s a lot more prevent plant acres,” said Tyler Patton, Corteva Agriscience U.S. soil health product manager.

“We think we’ll see a lot of demand, especially on prevent plant acres if the weather cooperates.”

Illinois has over 1.5 million prevented plant acres, Indiana’s is estimated at 944,000, Iowa has over 463,000 and there are about 1.395 million in Missouri, according to the Farm Service Agency.

“Who knows what this harvest is going to do, depending on when folks planted. Corn is coming off late pretty much no matter where you go. Folks might take soybeans out early, and there may be chance to run on those acres, as well,” Patton said.

“We’re prepared and ready to go, but weather has to cooperate. We’ve

standpoint, we’re always producing more. We’re spending millions of dollars on R&D and we’re committed to that and hopefully that helps alleviate some of these changing conditions.”

Cor teva Ag r iscience launched a new aboveground nitrogen stabilizer earlier this year for spring applications.

PinnitMax prevents volatilization of urea and UAN applications for up to 14 days, helping ensure the nitrogen gets into the root zone for optimum crop in-

take.

The product joins N-Serve and Instinct nitrogen stabilizers in Corteva Agriscience’s existing nitrogen maximizer portfolio. N-Serve is for belowground anhydrous ammonia applications and Instinct for below-ground urea, UAN and manure applications.

had great falls in the past, and we’ve had tough ones in the past. Fall of 2018 was definitely a struggle, and spring wasn’t any easier.

“Folks are starting to get away from the anhydrous business, but in key states like Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin, to some degree, anhydrous will be the preferred source for a lot of farmers out there.

When you’re set up to run anhydrous, you’re set up to run anhydrous.”

Unpredictable weather has led to a challenging planting and growing season. That also leads to questions when making input purchasing decisions and fall fertilizer application plans.

“The typical weather is the atypical now moving forward. I think we’re going to see continued variation and changes there.

The best thing a farmer can do is be as best prepared as they can, have a plan and be able to change that as they go, which makes it extremely difficult,” Patton said.

“We see that from a manufacturing standpoint. For me to forecast what kind of product we’re going to need six, eight, 10, 12 months year out makes it extremely difficult because we don’t know what the weather patterns are going to be that time of year. It’s tough on everybody in the industry.”

Companies offer assistance to farmers looking for crop management recommendation.

“We have a large sales force with crop protection territory managers, as well as our seed counterparts that are out there. They get up every day and think about how they’re going to help the farmer. They are always available, all of the time to help adjust plans as needed. I think that’s our No. 1 resource,” Patton noted.

Better than expected Well, as quick as we got started, it seems things are coming to an end. We finished our firstcrop soybean harvest this week. Surprisingly, we had better yields than we expected. Cannot really complain because we had a crop to harvest, but also knowing the poor planting conditions and lack of rain at the end of the season, we are very fortunate.

We also got all the 2020 wheat planted. This has about got to be a record for us, as we don’t seem to get our wheat planted until late October normally, it seems. Now, as I type this, we are receiving a much-needed rain.

We don’t have a burn ban in place, but we could use one. A neighbor’s yard caught on fire yesterday while burning trash.

The fields are very hard also.

I believe we are amid a very concerning drought. I planted wheat in a couple places that hadn’t been dry enough to plant since 2012. Most tiles are dry, and ditches are not running.

The rain we’re receiving is coming at just the right time. The good Lord will take care of us.

Corn harvest is progressing slowly. Corn is mostly still above 20% moisture, and yields are highly variable. The big thing that is sticking out as I talk to neighbors and customers is drainage. Drainage seems to be the only factor truly affecting the year. No matter the added sprayer passes, improved drainage is helping the most. We will hopefully begin working on helping improve more yields with tile the coming week. My combine vacation is basically over. Back to the real work.

James Ramsey ARLINGTON, INDIANA

Love-filled last words It’s raining!

And thundering and lightning! We have an inch and a tenth, so far.

Much needed, but if it would have just waited one week, we would have been done with harvest. No complaints, though, as rain is still needed here. We finished soybean harvest on Friday. We have 250 acres of corn to go. These acres are the farthest from the home place, which usually means I’m on the road constantly running people from field to machinery, but not this week. I’m headed to the shed for repairs — on me.

I’ve battled all year with my knees. I have a torn ACL, a ruptured calf muscle, two torn meniscus and enough falls to last a

lifetime. But we’re not fixing my knees. We’re fixing my back. I have degenerated discs between L2 and L5. It’s time to take out what’s left and put in some new cushioning and screw it back together.

The surgery will not keep me down, but does require four to six months of healing. I should be good to go by greenhouse season. So, nurse Mark is on call, and there’s corn to harvest.

Isn’t this the way things happen on the farm? When it rains, it pours. But we need rain, so we’ll do what farmers always do so well, improvise and compromise.

My thought for the week is in regards to saying, “I love you.”

Today, a friend is burying her husband. He wasn’t sick. He had no disease. He got out of bed, fell to the floor and was gone. He was 61 years old.

Luckily, the last words to his wife were, “I love you.” Her last words to him were, “I love you, too.”

We never know what day we will be called home. What will your last words be to those who work by your side, look to you for guidance, lay their head beside yours at night? Tomorrow is not promised. Don’t pass the chance to tell those you love how you feel about them, how much they mean to you, how much you value what they do for and with you. Until next week, have a great day. I love you.

$10 million grant for pennycress genetics project

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MACOMB, Ill. — Win Phippen knows he has to get it right the very first time.

“In working with new crops, you get one shot with producers,” said Phippen, professor of plant breeding and genetics at the Western Illinois Agriculture School of Agriculture.

Phippen recently received a $10 million grant from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use on his work researching and refining the seed genetics of pennycress.

Pennycress is a winter annual that is more recognizable to farmers as a roadside weed.

But the seed of the plant, resembling a penny in its seedpod, holds promise as both an oilseed crop to use for biodiesel feedstock and as a cover crop.

Phippen is working with CoverCress Inc., a St. Louis-based company started by retired corn and soybean plant breeders, to get the pennycress genetics to the stage where the seed can be marketed to farmers as an option in a conventional row crop rotation.

“We want to make sure we have the best varieties so we are breeding the best lines. We’ve identified the key traits we need in pennycress lines,” Phippen said.

Phippen’s pennycress project includes research

partners at other universities throughout the Midwest, including Illinois State University, the Ohio State University, the University of Wisconsin at Platteville and the University of Minnesota.

The project’s territory covers from North Dakota to St. Louis.

The goal of the program is to work toward commercializing the crop within five years.

“It’s developing the protocols, working with corn growers, perhaps there are herbicide programs that are currently being used on corn that have a negative impact on pennycress. We need to be thinking what varieties of corn the pennycress is following, what herbicide programs are being used prior to planting the pennycress to make sure we get a consistent stand establishment in that corn, going through to soybean planting in the spring,” Phippen said.

One of the other major goals of the program is to have not just the seed right but also all the information available to producers so they can succeed. That has to be done even before major field trials can take place.

“We want to make sure the production protocols get written correctly, that we can make recommendations for fertilizer, how to prep the ground correctly, how to deal with issues that may pop up during the growing season, insects or diseases that may come along,”

Crop Progress for week ending Oct. 20 There were 6.1 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Oct. 20.

Statewide, the average temperature was 50.9 degrees, 3 degrees below normal. Precipitation averaged 0.03 inches, 0.69 inches below normal.

Topsoil moisture supply was rated at 6% very short, 16% short, 72% adequate, and 6% surplus. Subsoil moisture supply was rated at 7% very short, 15% short, 72% adequate, and 6% surplus.

Corn mature was at 88%.

Corn harvested for grain was at 36%, compared to 80% last year, and 70% for the five-year average. Corn condition was 6% very poor, 13% poor, 35% fair, 39% good, and 7% excellent.

Soybeans dropping leaves was at 93%. Soybean harvest was 52% complete, compared to 72% last year,

and 68% for the five-year average. Soybean condition was 7% very poor, 11% poor, 38% fair, 37% good, and 7% excellent. Winter wheat planted was at 63%, compared to 51% last year, and 53% for the five-year average.

Phippen said.

Illinois State University and the University of Minnesota are looking at the benefits of pennycress as a cover crop.

“They are doing what we call ecoservices. What else does this plant give you, other than seed for cash?

Does it help your soils?

Does it help the insect populations? Does it help with diseases?” Phippen said.

Pennycress, because it blooms early in the spring, is one of the first plants for pollinators. In addition, the plant scavenges nitrogen and since only the seed is harvested, the rest of the plant is left as organic matter.

Phippen knows he and his team need to get it right.

“I want to be sure I put the best seed possible in the producer’s hand

so when he puts it in te ground, he has a good experience. If he has a good experience, it’s that much easier for me to get his neighbor to grow it and then his neighbor’s neighbor,” Phippen said.

Pennycress has shown promise as an oilseed and cover crop.

CHANNEL PROFITABILITY CALCULATOR HELPS DETERMINE BREAKEVEN PRICES CHANNEL COMMITTED TO PROVIDING TOOLS TO HELP FARMERS TARGET PROFITABILITY GRAIN MARKETING TIPS

BY MATT BENNETT, CHANNEL GRAIN MARKETING CONSULTANT

As harvest progresses, producers have plenty of decisions to make. With export markets in a quandary and unusual challenges with weather, the 2019 season has numerous variables impacting the market. This year, the ability to manage price volatility may mean the difference between making a profit or not.

As farmers collect and analyze 2019 yield data, they have the ability to determine a solid breakeven price for the new crop. This information helps to make decisions about selling a few more bushels versus storing grain, especially in situations where cash is needed.

“This year, the ability to manage price volatility may mean the difference between making a profit or not.”

– Matt Bennett

Farmers can evaluate their breakeven pricing options with old-crop bushels and plan for 2020 bushels with the profitability calculator on the Channel.com Tools page.

The profitability calculator tool asks for all of your input costs, a yield goal and a price.

Then, based on the information you provide, it suggests a breakeven price for corn and/or soybeans, as well as whether you can be profitable at current commodity prices.

Watch for more of Matt Bennett’s insights about navigating today’s commodities marketing.

• Sign up to receive Bennett’s grain marketing insights–text JOIN to 242665 • Hear Bennett’s comments about commodity markets, anytime, at ChannelPodcasting.com/Commodities For 2020 planning, you can make an educated guess on a majority of costs and plug in a yield that is an average of production for the last four or five years. Insert today’s current price to provide an estimated breakeven price.

Options to finance your 2020 product purchases are available from Channel.

Contact your local Channel Seedsman or visit Channel.com/2020Financing to learn more.

Every day, farmers make big decisions that affect the profitability of their operations.

Channel is committed to pinpointing solutions and providing resources and tools to help farmers increase yield potential and profitability. Visit Channel.com/Calculator to access the profitability calculator.

For old-crop bushels, farmers already know their production costs. The profitability calculator tool is entirely customizable, so if you had additional repairs and expenses, you can include those to see if you could make money at today’s prices. If you are under the breakeven, the tool helps determine where to place price offers with your local elevator.

Lifestyle YOUR GARDENING CHECKLIST FOR OCTOBER

Fall leaves are a treasure, not trash

By B. Rosie Lerner

INDOOR PLANTS AND ACTIVITIES n Keep poinsettia in complete

darkness for 15 hours each day — for example, between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. — for eight to 10 weeks until red bracts begin to show. n Pot spring-flowering bulbs to force into bloom indoors.

Moisten soil and refrigerate 10 to 13 weeks. Transfer to a cool, sunny location and allow an additional three to four weeks for blooming. n Houseplants, especially those grown outdoors during the summer, commonly drop some or many of their leaves in response to the lower natural light intensity in the autumn and reduced light intensity indoors. n Water indoor plants less frequently and discontinue fertilizer as plants slow down or stop growing for the winter season.

LAWNS, WOODY ORNAMENTALS AND FRUITS n Keep plants, especially

newly planted stock, wellwatered until ground freezes. n Have soil ready to mound roses for winter protection.

Do not mound or cover roses until after leaves drop and soil is near freezing, usually late November or early December. n Strawberry plants need protection from winter’s extremes, but applying winter mulch too early may cause crowns to rot. Apply winter protection when plants are dormant, but before temperatures drop below 20 degrees, usually late November or early December. n Rake or shred large, fallen tree leaves, such as maple, to prevent them from matting down and smothering grass.

Raking smaller leaves, such as honey locust, is optional. n Continue mowing lawn as needed.

FLOWERS, VEGETABLES AND SMALL FRUITS n Harvest root crops and

store in a cold, humid location.

Storing produce in perforated plastic bags is a convenient, easy way to increase humidity. n Harvest Brussels sprouts as they develop in the axils of the leaves from the bottom of the stem. Brussels sprouts will continue to develop up the stem. n Harvest pumpkins and winter squash before frost, but when rind is hard and fully colored. Store in a cool location until ready to use. n Harvest gourds when stems begin to brown and dry. Cure at 70 to 80 degrees for two to four weeks. n Harvest mature, green tomatoes before frost and ripen indoors in the dark.

Warmer temperatures lead to faster ripening. n Asparagus top growth should not be removed until foliage yellows. Let foliage stand over winter to collect snow for insulation and moisture. n Remove plant debris from the garden to protect next year’s plantings from insect and disease buildup. Compost plant refuse by alternating layers of soil, plant material and manure or commercial fertilizer. n Have garden soil tested for fertilizer needs every three to five years. n Plowing and incorporating organic matter in fall avoids the rush of garden activities and waterlogged soil in spring.

Soils prepared in the fall tend to warm faster and allow earlier planting in spring. n Carve a Halloween jack-o’lantern. n Dig tender garden flower bulbs for winter storage.

Gladiolus corms should be dug when leaves begin turning yellow. Caladiums, geraniums and tuberous begonias should be lifted before killing frost. Dig canna and dahlia roots after a heavy frost. Allow to air dry, then pack in dry peat moss or vermiculite and store in a cool location. n Complete planting of springflowering bulbs.

are pulverized, they will break down quickly.

A fall application of nitrogen fertilizer — about 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet — will help speed decomposition of the leaves and also will benefit the grass plants.

Fall leaves also make great composting ingredients, especially when mixed with green trimmings and grass clippings. Again, the smaller the pieces, the faster they’ll break down, so shred or chop dry leaves before adding them to the compost pile.

If you don’t have green trimmings or grass clippings, add a source of nitrogen to the leaves, such as commercial fertilizer or dry cow, horse, sheep, or poultry manure. The nitrogen is needed by the microorganisms that break down the carbon in plant materials.

Add a sprinkling of soil or finished compost to introduce a source of the microorganisms and water just enough to moisten. The compost will heat up in the center as it breaks down.

Stir the contents occasionally to add air and allow for uniform heating. Generally, the more often you turn the pile, the faster you’ll get a finished product.

Compost is ready to add back into the garden when it looks uniformly dark and crumbly. Compost improves soil aeration, moisture retention and drainage and nutrient-holding capabilities.

Last, but not least, shredded leaves can be used as a winter mulch to protect tender perennials through the coming harsh weather. Shredding the

leaves will help prevent them from packing down as they get wet and smothering the plants that they are supposed to protect.

To provide winter protection, apply a 3-to 6-inch layer of shredded leaves over the top of tender perennials after several hard freezes. The goal of winter mulch is to keep plants dormant through the winter, so it must be applied after the ground is cold and plants are fully dormant.

The timing of application will vary from year to year with the weather, but most years will be appropriate sometime between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

B. Rosie Lerner is a Purdue Extension consumer horticulture specialist.

Don’t let sap-sucking squash bugs get old We have been battling squash bugs for years. This year we went to preventive measures. Well, they are back. I now need to know what can we do to apply to kill them on contact. We are totally organic here.

Squash bugs can be a persistent pest on all of the cucurbits, but especially on squash and pumpkins. This pest over-

winters as adults in crop residue or nearby weeds, then fly to fields and gardens when the vines begin to “run.” After mating, they lay their eggs on the cucurbit leaves.

Both the wingless nymphs and adults suck plant sap from leaves, vines and fruit, presenting a challenge through most of the growing

season. Their saliva contains plant toxins, resulting in black and crispy leaves near feeding sites.

The plant wilts and may eventually die. In the late season, squash bugs may feed on the fruit, causing the fruit to collapse.

Sanitation to remove overwintering adults and control of the young

nymphs are key to staying ahead of the problem.

Scout the plants beginning early in the growing season and hand remove egg clusters as soon as you see them.

A pyrethroid containing insecticide can provide some control of young nymphs. For organic growers, pyrethrum, neem, or a prod-

uct that contains both can offer good control, but applications need to target young nymphs.

Organic insecticides are not effective at controlling adults. Removal of crop debris and weeds at the end of the season will reduce next year’s population.

Lifestyle DONNA’S DAY: CREATIVE FAMILY FUN

KITCHEN DIVA

Spice up baked chicken breasts black pepper combined with ranch dressing makes a spicy, flavorful coating for baked chicken.

Ranch dressing has been one of America’s favorite condiments for more than 40 years. It’s used on everything from salads to pizza to potato chips.

In today’s recipe, the fiery pop of black pepper combined with the cool, herb flavors of ranch dressing elevate baked chicken breasts to a new level.

By Angela Shelf Medearis

Pumpkin bread is loaded with warm spices and full of delicious pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin bread is full of autumn spices

By Donna Erickson

For years, it was an October tradition in our neighborhood to drop in at my friend’s preholiday arts and crafts sale.

Opening the heavy front door of her turn-of-thecentury home, we were drawn in from the outdoor chill by the aroma of warm, freshly baked pumpkin bread served on trays in the dining room.

Looking back, I now wonder if people came for the pumpkin bread as much as for the art being sold.

This updated, foolproof recipe is moist, full of en-

ticing autumn spices we love, and it’s super-easy to make and bake with kids.

No mixers or tricky steps.

Just measure, whisk, stir and bake. Of course, you may put your own spin on the recipe and add chopped nuts and raisins to the batter, or even drizzle icing with a sprinkling of pepitas — a type of pumpkin seed — on top of just-baked loaf to make it fancy.

Favorite Pumpkin Bread INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup water PROCEDURE To prepare oven: Heat oven to 350 degrees.

To prepare pan: Place a piece of

parchment or wax paper on the bottom of a greased 9-by-5-by3-inch loaf pan.

To prepare batter: Whisk together oil, sugar, eggs and pumpkin in a mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, salt, baking soda and baking powder.

Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients alternatively with the water. Avoid overmixing.

Pour into pan.

To bake: Bake in middle of oven for 60 minutes or until wooden pick or knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool for 10 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

‘Imagination Center’ is a place to create

By Donna Erickson

It’s fall, and winter is on the way — a time to sort, toss and save. Collecting and squirreling away supplies for artful indoor and outdoor fun with your kids in the months ahead can be a creative activity in itself.

If you have space, set aside an area in your home and call it the “Imagination Center: A place to create.” Organize the big stuff in a large bin or box, and smaller “project parts,” like ribbons, buttons and nature finds, along with craft-store items — crayons, paints, brushes, paper and glue — in easy-to-open and -close containers, jars and drawers.

Kids love tools, too, like hole punches, pliers, pencil sharpeners and staplers. And don’t forget stuff from the toolbox and hardware store, like sandpaper, wire, nuts and bolts.

As you set up your crafty center, think with your children about how you can use ordinary things for something other than their intended use. When you look at your home through another filter, suddenly stuff headed for the recycle bin can take on amazing possibilities: Q Plain paper bags for making garlands and holiday wrapping paper.

Q Buttons and lace off old clothes for decorating doll

clothes or for jazzing up a Halloween costume.

Q Blooper or unused printed family photos for designing personalized cards and posters.

Q Pine cones outside your door for creating miniature forest people and animals.

Q Ribbons off opened presents for colorful ties on baked-good gifts.

Q for stringing, trimming and tying anything.

Q Milk and juice jugs for birdfeeders.

Q Egg cartons and yogurt containers for sorting small stuff.

Q Tin cans for handy, attractive containers for paintbrushes, colored pencils and scissors.

Once you’ve gathered everything and you’re ready to create and play, you can just dig in; pull out a bin for the large things and a drawer for the little things, and get to having fun.

MAKE BUSY BOXES Put aside a box or two and designate and label with special themes for pretend play. Fill them with items related to the topic as you collect them and save for when friends come by. For example, fill one with items to play “supermarket,” such as play money, empty food boxes and tote bags. © 2019 Donna Erickson distributed by King Features Synd.

Whenever I’m thinking about ways to add variety to chicken recipes, my spice rack always provides inspiration. Freshly ground peppercorns add a much-needed boost to the mild flavors of chicken, pork and fish.

They come in a variety of shades, including white, green, pink, red and black. The color depends on the maturity of the berry.

All peppercorns come from the seed of the tropical “Piper nigrum” plant. About 50 berries grow in spiky clusters on long vines supported on posts.

Black peppercorn berries are picked before fully ripening and allowed to ferment for

Halloween a popular holiday for collectors

By Terry and Kim Kovel

Halloween is the second most popular holiday among collectors of holiday memorabilia.

Christmas comes ďŹ rst.

But Halloween decorations are in such demand today that there are even mail-order catalogs and pop-up stores that feature nothing but Halloween.

The idea behind Halloween goes back centuries, but the ďŹ rst Halloween parties that resembled modern celebrations were costume parties for adults in the 1880s and 1890s.

Costumes from those parties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some of the earliest Halloween collectibles â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were almost always homemade.

Pressed-paper â&#x20AC;&#x153;veggie people,â&#x20AC;? jack-o-lanterns and other Halloween decorations were being made by the 1900s, mostly in Germany.

By the 1950s, plastic liner underneath Halloween decorations it. A rotting pumpkin will were being made of hard plastic, and in the 1990s a strange sponge-like plastic was popular for soft jacko-lanterns.

Pre-1950 Halloween memorabilia is scarce, so prices are high. But beware: Many reproductions of early paper jack-o-lanterns and Halloween candy containers have been made in Japan.

New mail order catalogs sell copies of old pieces along with new life-size witches, ghosts, skeletons and zombies, as well as tombstones, black cats and huge blow-up monsters and spiders. These, too, will be popular collectibles in a few years.

Ideas for anaerobic digestion Several weeks ago, I had a conversation with a farmer about turning organic waste materials into value-added products, and Ashley Belle we landed upon the University topic of anaerobic digesof Illinois tion.

Extension Anaerobic digestion is a microbial based process where organic waste, such as manures, crop residues, or food waste, is decomposed in an oxygen-free environment to produce methane enriched biogas.

The captured biogas can be used in multiple ways as a renewable form of energy. On the farm, the biogas can be used as a fuel in furnaces or boilers to heat water and barns.

Additionally, biogas can be used to generate electricity to provide barn lighting or sold to the local electric grid. Some farms even clean and upgrade their biogas to remove impurities and carbon dioxide so that it can be injected into the natural gas grid. There is also the option of compressing the methane gas for use as a vehicle fuel.

Besides biogas, there are other products of anaerobic digestion. Post digestion, effluent is discharged from the digester.

Effluent consists of undigested solids and liquid.

After solids separation, the liquid can be used as a fertilizer, thus reducing the need for fossil fuel-derived fertilizers.

Additionally, the solids can be

When properly operated, digesters can produce large quantities of biogas. The farm should survey their energy needs and determine the best usage of the biogas year-round. composted and sold as a soil amendment or reused as bedding material.

With anaerobic digesters capturing methane gas, the technology helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with the handling of liquid manures.

This is especially important considering methane has a global warming potential 28 times greater than carbon dioxide. When properly operated, a digester can also reduce odors from liquid manures, allowing for homes and farms to co-exist.

One may wonder if anaerobic digestion is a feasible option for their farm operation. Several factors should be taken into consideration. The farm should ensure that a constant yearround supply of manure is available for digestion.

Ideally, the manure should be relatively free of excessive straw and sand bedding, which not only creates clogging in digestion piping, but it also decreases the working volume of the digester.

If one is concerned with being limited by their animal waste capacity, then co-digesting the manure with additional organic feedstocks located in close proximity to the farm can be a solution for making digestion technology viable for smaller farming operations.

Some common co-digestion feedstocks include crop residues and used cooking greases.

Some operations even charge tipping fees to receive organic materials, such as food waste.

When properly operated, digesters can produce large quantities of biogas. The farm should survey their energy needs and determine the best usage of the biogas year-round.

In the United States, biogas is most often used for combined heat and power. To ensure digesters function optimally, the farm should also have staff who can devote the time and have the technical expertise.

There are multiple ways to generate revenue streams with anaerobic digestion technology.

To learn more about digestion, resources are available through U.S. Environmental Protection Agency AgSTAR, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, or your local Extension office.

Planning for future of watersheds

PROVIDED PHOTOS

John Watkins, Nutrien Ag Solutions marketing manager for eastern Illinois, leads the students on the tour.

Crop Consultant Crew FFA chapter partners with ag retailer CERRO GORDO, Ill. — FFA students from Decatur recently visited a Nutrien Ag Solutions facility in Cerro Gordo as the newest members of the “Crop Consultant Crew.” Nutrien Ag Solutions developed the unique educational program to give students an understanding of how the operation and its professional crop consultants help farmers maximize crop performance and ultimately profitability.

The MacArthur High School FFA Chapter learned about the facility’s products and services and how advances in agriculture and technology help farmers produce a safe, abundant food supply. “It was really a privilege for our staff to host the Decatur FFA chapter,” said John Watkins, Nutrien Ag Solutions marketing manager for eastern Illinois. “These students are the next generation of farmers, consumers or both. It’s crucial for us in the ag industry that we take opportunities like these to answer questions they have about farming and the future of agriculture.”

The program began with a visit to the facility’s precision ag building, where planters are upgraded to provide consistent seed populations, spacing and depth to achieving high yield potential. Advances in planter technologies were also discussed.

Students also: n Examined limestone used to raise soil pH levels. Watkins explained that the operation applies about 30,000 tons of lime each season to help growers achieve better yields. n Observed seed treatment equipment used to help protect seedlings from early season plant disease and insects. The operation provides enough treated seed to cover

Carl Proctor, seed sales specialist for Nutrien Ag Solutions, discusses plant nutrition and ear development. about 200,000 acres annually in its service area. n Learned about the robust portfolio of 300 different crop protection products Nutrien stocks to help farmers defend their acres against weeds, insects and plant diseases.

“Exposing students to agriculture in a direct way allows them to see the many careers in food and fiber production,” said FFA chapter adviser Andrew Klein, who accompanied his chapter during the program. “My urban students love learning about agriculture, and I’ve found that they really appreciate the chance to go on trips and meet new people.”

Although the student participants did not have farming backgrounds, Watkins noted that should not be a limiting factor. “One of our goals with the Crop Consultant Crew program is to help build awareness about the many career opportunities available in agriculture,” he said. “A kid from the city has just as much of an opportunity to have a successful ag career as someone who grew up on a farm.”

Also participating in the program was Ross Chastain, who drives the #10 Nutrien Ag Solutions Chevrolet Camaro in

the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

He’s an eighth-generation watermelon farmer from Florida who shared the parallels between farming and racing with the students.

Nutrien Ag Solutions’ support for the FFA began in 2018 with the National FFA Organization. Through a $100,000 gift, grant money has been used to fund FFA student chapter affiliation fees, improve plant science-based educational opportunities, and purchase necessary supplies and materials for local agricultural-education programs.

This support has positively impacted hundreds of lives and will impact hundreds more throughout the country by continuing the $100,000 grant application program for FFA chapters in 2020.

The retailer also is a sponsor at the National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis. “We look forward to participating in the FFA National Convention and connecting with these potential future farmers and their educators,” said Brent Smith, vice president of marketing and innovation for Nutrien Ag Solutions.

China makes appeal for end to trade war

By Joe McDonald AP BUSINESS WRITER

BEIJING (AP) — China appealed to Washington for a quick end to their tariff war, but gave no indication Oct. 17 what more Beijing might want before it carries out what President Donald Trump says is a promise to buy up to $50 billion of American farm goods.

Trump’s promise Oct. 11 to delay a tariff hike in exchange for Chinese purchases of U.S. exports helped to reassure financial markets. But the deal has yet to be put on paper and few details have been announced, leaving companies questioning whether Beijing has required other conditions such as lifting of punitive tariffs before purchases go ahead.

Business groups welcomed the deal as a possible step to-

ward breaking a deadlock in the 15-month-old fight over China’s trade surplus and technology ambitions. Trump promised to delay a tariff hike on $250 billion of Chinese imports.

Still, economists warned it fails to address the core issues of the dispute that threatens to derail global economic growth.

Those include complaints about Beijing’s technology plans.

Negotiators are “striving to reach a consensus on the text of the agreement as soon as possible,” said a Ministry of Commerce spokesman, Gao Feng, at a weekly news briefing. He said he couldn’t give details.

Beijing has yet to confirm whether it will make purchases on the scale announced by Trump.

Beijing wants “economic

and trade relations back on the right track at an early date,” Gao said.

Achieving results “will help eliminate uncertainty and restore market confidence and also is highly significant for stabilizing the global economic situation,” he said.

Beijing is resisting American pressure to roll back plans for government-led creation of Chinese global competitors in robotics and other technologies.

Washington, Europe, Japan and other trading partners complain those violate Beijing’s market-opening commitments and are based on stealing or pressuring companies to hand over know-how.

On Oct. 15, a foreign ministry spokesman said China would “speed up procurement” of American farm exports, but gave no scale or time frame.

Credit union lends exclusively to farmers UNITY, Maine (AP) — A credit union in Maine said it’s the first institution of its kind to lend exclusively to farmers.

The Maine Harvest Credit Federal Union said it accepted its first deposit last week. The credit union is located in Unity and received its federal charter for the National Credit Union

Administration.

The credit union plans to offer special loans and mortgages to people who work in Maine’s food industry. A spokeswoman said in a statement the credit union will serve more than 1,000 members and “become a primary financing sources for over 100

small farms and food businesses.”

Gov. Janet Mills attended a ribbon-cutting event for Maine Harvest. She said the institution “will help keep legacy farmers on their land” in the state.

Maine Harvest is Maine’s 55th credit union.

How often do you think or talk about your local watershed?

For most, it is probably not a standard topic of conversation.

Jennifer The reality is, we all live, Woodyard work and play in waUniversity tersheds, and of Illinois our actions Extension can impact water quality locally and downstream.

Watersheds, the area of land that drains to one point such as a creek, lake, or river, come in all shapes and sizes, and each are identified by a unique number called a hydrologic unit code.

I primarily focus my work with University of Illinois Extension in the approximately 1.6 million-acre Embarras River Watershed, HUC 05120112, and the approximately 1.4 million-acre Little Wabash River Watershed, HUC 05120114.

They are located in east-central and southeastern Illinois and are made up of several subwatersheds that eventually join with their namesake river.

Watersheds do not follow conventional boundaries like county or state lines, but they are a great unit to plan and manage water resources by. A watershed based plan assesses potential water quality problems, such as runoff from urban or agricultural sources, among many others, and outlines strategies that can be utilized to address the issues.

Planning on a watershed scale is not a new concept, but a fresh focus is being placed on watershed work in Illinois.

Why? The importance of having a local, strategic and meaningful plan to address water quality issues has become increasingly apparent since the release of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy in 2015.

In the NLRS, goals were created to reduce nitrate-nitrogen and total phosphorus losses by 15% and 25%, respectively, by the year 2025 and to eventually reduce both nutrients’ losses by 45%.

Developing watershed plans, particularly in areas that are considered priorities — both the Embarras and Little Wabash River Watersheds are phosphorus priorities in the NLRS — could help speed up our progress towards meeting the goals outlined in the NLRS. Watershed plans are created with feedback from stakeholders in the watershed, such as landowners, farmers, city and county board members, city and government employees, local businesses, citizens and anyone who is interested in contributing their time towards discussing the effort. Having local feedback and participation is critical to the success of the plan.

In a state where approximately 75% of the total land area is farmed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service, a vital element to incorporate in watershed planning in Illinois is agriculture.

Through the development of a watershed plan and with input from farmers and landowners, specific conservation practices can be listed in a watershed plan that, if adopted, would improve the water quality issues that were identified. Examples of this could be implementing cover crops on a predetermined amount of acres, or building a certain number of grassed waterways.

There is no obligation to implement the conservation practice, but it can be used as a pathway to address water quality issues and concerns expressed by stakeholders in the watershed.

If you hear of watershed planning efforts in your area, I ask that you consider joining the conversation. Those of us working to develop these plans need input from landowners and farmers and anyone with a vested interest in their local water quality.

A large group of stakeholders is currently working towards updating a plan for the Embarras River Watershed, and a new planning effort will be starting in a subwatershed of the Little Wabash, located primarily in Effingham County, in January 2020.

If you are interested in either of these efforts and want to get involved, please contact me at 217-347-7773, or woodyar2@ illinois.edu.

GM contract: Worker pay hikes, factory closings move forward

By Tom Krisher AP AUTO WRITER

DETROIT (AP) — A tentative four-year contract with striking General Motors gives workers a mix of pay raises, lump sum payments and an $11,000 signing bonus.

In return, the contract allows GM to proceed with factory closures in Lordstown, Ohio; Warren, Michigan; and near Baltimore.

Details were posted Oct. 17 on the United Auto Workers website as factory level union officials

would initially employ 400 workers.

But neither of those would come close to the shut t er ed L ord s t ow n assembly plant, which two years ago employed 4,500 people making the Chevrolet Cruze compact car.

The deal shortens the eight years it takes for new hires to reach full wages and gives temporary workers a full-time job after three years of continuous work.

Workers hired after 2007 who are paid a lower wage rate will hit the top

met to decide if they’ll approve the deal. Workers went on strike Sept. 16, crippling the company’s U.S. production and costing it an estimated $2 billion.

The Detroit Hamtramck plant, which GM wanted to close, will stay open and a new electric pickup truck will be built there.

Meanwhile, the Lordstown area will get a new battery factory that is expected to employ 1,000 workers. In addition, a company called Lordstown Motors could also set up a factory that

Deer mating season increases Illinois’ vehicle crash danger SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois’ transportation chief is warning motorists to be alert for deer on roadways during their mating season.

Transportation Secretary Omer Osman said above all, “Don’t veer for deer.” The first instinct when bearing down on a deer in the road is to swerve. But Osman said that could make a driver lose control and increase a crash’s severity.

Osman and the Transportation Department urge motorists to be aware of surroundings and pay attention to deer-crossing signs. Watch roadsides for “eye shine” — deer eyes reflecting headlights.

Prepare for the unexpected because deer travel in groups and might stop in a roadway.

And if a collision is inevitable, avoid swerving into a lane with oncoming traffic.

There were more than 15,600 deer-vehicle crashes in Illinois last year.

Future of ag at home and abroad Farming is remarkable work. We begin with the dirt, a seed or a sapling, a calf or baby chick. We nurture from well before sunup till after sundown. We face unpredictable challenges, Zippy Duvall and we keep looking for ways to do better.

Few businesses American begin every season Farm Bureau back at square one, Federation but that’s the cycle of agriculture. Few businesses have the well-being of so many riding on their success either.

But farmers and ranchers rise to this challenge because we love what we do, and we want to ensure that our nation and our world continue to have access to a safe, sustainable food supply.

Farmers are not alone in taking on the challenge of feeding a booming population. Thanks to researchers and innovators, agriculture is more efficient than ever before.

We have access to smarter tools — from tractors that can drive themselves to drones that can help monitor crop health down to the individual plant.

We have better seeds that require less chemicals and are resistant to drought. We even have robots that can harvest crops, spray fields and milk cows.

Our farms today look a lot different than our grandparents’ — and that’s a good thing. We should always be moving forward and doing better.

It’s that drive to do better that has reduced our carbon footprint and made U.S. agriculture one of the smallest industry contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. We are using less water, energy and fertilizer — all because of the strides our nation has made in agricultural technology.

American agriculture has led the way in technology and innovation thanks to our national investment in research and development at our landgrant universities. Unfortunately, we have dropped off as the global leader in R&D investment in the last decade and are now outpaced by China.

If the U.S. is going to stay competitive and hold our spot as the world’s leading agricultural producer, we must renew our commitment to investing in the research that has made our farms and ranches the most productive and sustainable in the world.

Advancing agriculture together for the good of everyone is what the World Food Prize is about, and I am excited to be in Des Moines, Iowa, to celebrate our shared goals across the food chain as we look to the future of agriculture. Together, we can ensure farming survives and thrives in every corner of the earth.

Leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators have been gathering for more than three decades at this event because we all believe in agriculture’s power to change the world.

Countries that cannot feed themselves crumble, but modern farming methods and tools can promote sustainability and stability across the globe, making us all safer and more secure.

Farming and ranching are family and community businesses: We know we do better when everyone has a chance to succeed. We are committed to helping our neighbors near and far because we believe a hard day’s work best begins with a hearty meal.

We know firsthand the importance of sustainability because our families have been caring for the land for generations. And we want to see agriculture succeed around the world because we all depend on the remarkable work of farming for our livelihoods and our well-being.

Drainers versus sustainers Not two miles from my central Illinois home, a farmer’s next crop — a dozen rolls of eight-inch, black plastic drainage pipe — wait to be planted several feet deep in this year’s browning corn stubble.

It’s tiling season in Farm & Food much of the Midwest, File that post-harvest period when earth-chewing Alan Guebert machines fight weather, mud and daylight to bury thousands of miles of pipe to move subsurface water — and whatever else — off farmland to hopefully make it more productive and, in turn, more valuable.

“Why?” asks Christopher Jones and Silvia Secchi, two University of Iowa professors, in a stinging Oct. 14 essay, titled “Drain Brain.”

It’s a simple question in today’s era of ag overproduction, fertilizer- and manure-laced farm water runoff and an almost totally disengaged government.

Jones, a research engineer specializing in water quality and agriculture, and Secchi, a natural resource economist, ask it in reply to “a new paper that appeared in the journal Nature Sustainability where some researchers from a university 120 miles west of here” — Iowa State University, the state’s ag-focused land-grant university — “proposed a new solution to our nutrient problem: Put in more drainage tile.”

That prescription caused Jones and Secchi to respond to the tiling advocates

— who they labeled “Drainers” — because in Jones and Secchi’s view, it will only add to Iowa’s enormous farm water run-off problem. What’s needed, they urge, are new and better ideas, not new and better tile.

In fairness, ISU’s lead researcher, agronomist Michael Castellano, did explain that any overall tile upgrade would not only include “installation of higher capacity pipes,” but also “implementation of long-term conservation practices, like denitrification wetlands, bioreactors and saturated buffers.”

Exactly right, agreed the engineer and economist. But the rub is the staggering cost — something the ISU study did not provide — for any one of those plans.

For example, if the Drainer plan is implemented on three million or so of Iowa’s estimated 8 million acres of tiled farmland, “replacing all the tile would cost $3 billion.”

Add to that the cost of building “denitrification wetlands” at the state recommended rate of “1- to 4-acres” for every “200 acres of farmland.” The conservative estimate of construction cost — “ignoring maintenance, operations and easement outlays” — would be about $300 per acre.

That means “these wetlands would require tens of thousands of acres and cost between $10 (billion) and $42 billion” to construct. “To put this in perspective,” they note, “Iowa has received ~$20 billion in agricultural subsidies over the last 25 years.”

But that’s not the biggest hurdle to the Drainers’ idea. Most of today’s runoff mitigation programs — like the federal

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program or Iowa’s Nutrient Reduction Strategy — are voluntary. Which leads the researchers to ask a second simple question: “Will farmers voluntarily give up tens of thousands of acres to wetlands?”

They know the answer. “In almost 20 years, the CREP program has enrolled less than 4,000 acres, or 1 in 6500 Iowa crop acres.” As such, they add, “We assert that the Drainers’ proposal is not sustainable.”

But you and I — as well as all the agronomists, economists and engineers in farm country — know that farmland tiling will not stop anytime soon.

We can, however, Jones and Secchi explain, mitigate its lasting effects with newer, tougher and more enforceable water runoff rules; change ag policy to encourage crop diversification; pay farmers for “ecosystem services;” decouple current payments from production “while tying them to environmental performance;” and better manage manure application.

And we need to try these options now because, even with tile, “Farmers aren’t getting the economic outcomes that they want, and the public isn’t getting the environmental outcomes that we want.”

That sounds like solid ground everyone can stand on as we collectively dig into fair, workable solutions that farmers and non-farmers alike all need.

Turn obstacles into opportunities In every farming operation, it’s a fact that we’ll encounter challenges along the way.

That can happen both in our daily activities and in dealing with the business side of our farm.

The obstacles can range Darren Frye from the very large and confusing to the rather Water Street small and easily solvable.

Solutions But what really matters is the way that we view these challenges: not only in terms of what we decide to do about them, but also in how we learn from them and use what we’ve found to make us as leaders and our operations better in the long run.

This is a key mindset to take. We already know we’re going to be dealing with challenges and obstacles as we run our operations. By looking for the learning opportunity within the obstacle, we’re making the challenge ultimately go to work for us and for the greater success of our farm operation.

Otherwise, we might get caught up in a “victim” mentality, viewing the challenges we face in our business as something that’s personally against us, rather than seeing it for what it really is: an opportunity for us to get better instead of getting bitter.

THREE SITUATIONS I want to share three examples of when you can apply this thinking di-

rectly on your farm. However, this mindset can be applied to any obstacles you face, whether in business or personal life.

1. Your employee screws up: Let’s say your employee really messes up on a task you gave them. First, it’s key to consciously set aside any immediate emotional reactions you may have when you hear about or discover the screw-up. Next, decide how you’re going to use the mistake as a teaching or training opportunity for your employee to learn something new. The end result? Your employee has become more valuable with the new knowledge and ability they’ve gained and will be able to apply it in future situations. They’ve ultimately become better. The bonus is that you’ve kept your relationship with them intact by deciding to contain and redirect any negative emotions you have about what they did.

2. Factors outside of your control are affecting the operation: When factors out of our direct control such as weather, markets or government policy begin to impact our farm in a negative way, we have a choice. We can decide to become angry and frustrated, or we can decide to make our operation better in order to withstand these challenges. The ultimate goal is creating an operation that’s good enough to survive and thrive despite the outside factors that are and will always be out of our direct control as farmers.

This might mean internal improvements such as working on greater efficiency in a couple key areas of your business, or spending more time working on risk management plans, including marketing

and merchandising plans. Many farmers have found that working closely with a trusted market advisor is an important step in creating better risk management plans for their operation.

3. Unexpected challenges keep coming up in your operation: When a new challenge arises within your operation, consider it another opportunity to get better as a farm. Ultimately, having different, flexible ways of accomplishing goals for your operation makes you less reliant on certain ways of doing things. This helps your farm become more agile, with less risk exposure. Having to change plans quickly can often be a blessing in disguise. Learning how to efficiently design a different way to accomplish a goal can improve your creativity, which boosts your problem-solving skills when you’re dealing with other areas of your operation.

The next time you come up against an obstacle or challenge in your operation, consider how you might look at it as a learning opportunity, and then come up with an effective plan to address the challenge.

Whether the obstacle is big or small, there is always a way to glean something as you figure out how to deal with it.

The more you take this mindset, the more you’ll likely find yourself becoming a better farmer, leader and manager along the way. You can talk with one of our advisors for the farm for some more ideas about this.

DECATUR, Ill. — Farmers who want to support the nation’s military veterans, especially those injured post 9/11, now have the opportunity to do that with the seeds they plant.

“We feel like this kind of a program helps to restore some of that independence to these veterans who lost some of their own independence just by their service to our country,” said Tim Birkel, director of marketing for Wyffels Hybrids.

Wyffels Hybrids rolled out its Serving Those Who Served initiative earlier this year at dealer meetings and then at the 2019 Farm Progress Show in Decatur.

The program offers farmers the opportunity to help build homes for disabled veterans through Homes For Our Troops, a 501©3 organization that builds specially-adapted homes for military veterans who were injured during their tour of duty in the Iraq or Afghanistan theaters after 9/11.

Homes with over 40 special adaptations are built at no cost to the veterans. To be eligible to receive a home, veterans must be approved for Specially Adapted Housing benefits under the Veterans Administration.

Homes For Our Troops has completed 285 specially-adapted homes in 42 states. The organization was founded by a general contractor

For every bag of W5086RIB sold, Wyffels Hybrids will donate $2 to Home For Our Troops. You can also help by purchasing a Serving Those Who Served hat or T-shirt. in Massachusetts, who offered to build a specially adapted home for a Massachusetts National Guard soldier who had been wounded during his tour of duty in Iraq. That soldier agreed on the condition that the contractor would build homes for other injured veterans.

Birkel said Wyffels Hybrids wanted to give back to others.

“As what we believe to be a service-based organization, we started 74 years ago with a mission of serving the American farmer. We’ve experienced a lot of growth over the last six years, six straight years of consecutive growth, and we were looking for an opportunity to give back,” he said.

Birkel said the program will donate proceeds from sales of each bag of selected seed varieties toward the construction of two HFOT

houses, one in Minnesota and one in Wisconsin. HFOT has built three specially-adapted homes for veterans in Illinois and four in Indiana.

“We are launching 14 new hybrids this year and W-5086 is one from which we will be donating some of the proceeds to Homes For Our Troops,” he said.

Birkel said W-5086 was selected to allow as many farmers as possible to participate and donate. Two dollars from each bag will go to HFOT. “It’s a 107-day double pro, which means that it covers a pretty wide swath in our geography. The idea is to try to get a hybrid that can cover as much geography to allow as many farmers as possible to participate in the program,” he said.

With the rollout of Serving Those Who Served fairly new, Birkel said he is pleased and surprised at the response from farmers already.

“I have been so impressed with the response. It’s a tremendous outpouring of support for the program, lots of excellent positive feedback on how excited people are that we are doing something like this and how much support there is in this country for our veterans,” he said.

‘The greatest loss is self-confidence’: Part II Intermarket Magazine in 1985 interviewed Roy W. Longstreet, age 84 at the time.

The interview was reprinted in 2010

by Peter L. Brandt of Factor Research Services.

Commodity Trading Longstreet was Insight described as “a legendary grain trader Jerry Welch and pioneer of technical analysis of commodity markets.”

As a principal of the brokerage firm Longstreet Abbott, Longstreet’s specialty was a technical approach known as “analog-year research.”

Longstreet had great insight on the role of emotions in market speculation. He also is the author of “Viewpoints of a Commodity Trader.”

Here are my personal recollections of Longstreet from my book, “Back To The Futures,” in a chapter entitled, “The Greatest Loss Is SelfConfidence.”

The column was penned on Jan. 15, 1987, and dedicated to Longstreet, better known as “The Chief.” And it was “The Chief” that hired me to work for him.

“Eventually, The Chief decided to write a book about his experiences in the marketplace. After all, Longstreet-Abbott, Clayton Brokerage and Clayton Commodity Service were all a direct result of his efforts and dominant personality. His book was entitled, ‘View-

points of a Commodity Trader.’

“But the book is concerned with more than just the markets. The book deals with self-motivation, harnessing one’s emotions and maintaining a positive outlook on life.

“Mr. Longstreet’s book is as much about self-improvement and human psychology as it is about commodity trading.

“In the early 1970s, The Chief and many Clayton Commodity Service customers were bull-spread in the orange juice market. The Chief was convinced that the nearby orange juice products would gain in price compared to the back months.

“And he was right. Thanks to The Chief, Clayton customers were soon sitting on substantial profits in bull orange juice spreads. Then, disaster struck.

“Over a weekend, President Richard Nixon ordered a freeze on all commodity prices, an unprecedented action on the part of a president of the United States. It caused turmoil, volatility and chaos never before seen in the commodity markets.

“For several days, the nearby orange juice contracts went limit down, while the back month contracts were steady and, in some cases, limit up.

“It took us days and days to liquidate those orange juice spreads.

It was a nightmare that cost most of our clients, including The Chief himself, a great deal of money.

“But what really hurt was the fact that we had huge profits on those spreads. But President Nixon’s price freeze turned those handsome

profits into enormous losses. It was a mess. A few days later, I walked into The Chief’s office after the fallout from the orange juice trade was over. I said, ‘Chief, I just can’t believe we got hit so hard in that market. We had such huge profits.

To lose the money we got so quickly is just unbelievable. I don’t know if I’m cut out for this business. Losing all that money was a killer.’

“The Chief, then in his 70s, was seated behind an enormous, special made, crescent shaped, wraparound desk. He looked up and stared at me.

“After what seemed like an eternity, he said, ‘The greatest loss is the loss of self-confidence. The money comes and goes.’ Without uttering another word, he glanced down at the chart that he was focusing upon intently.

“I stood there for a second, feeling 15 years old and foolish. But there was nothing more for me to say. I turned and walked out of his office. The Chief never looked up as I left. Not once.”

A short time after I left Clayton Commodity Service, the firm closed the doors for good and The Chief retired. However, The Chief opened a personal account with me at Commodity Insight and continued to dabble in the markets, allowing me the opportunity to talk with him daily. He passed away in 1991.

To this day, when it comes to investing, trading or any endeavor, of all the advice The Chief gave me back in the olden days, I savor this above all else: “The greatest loss is self-confidence.”

Wellness traits help dairymen select animals

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

PARSIPPANY, N.J. — Using health and wellness traits to select animals can provide dairymen an opportunity to manage disease and improve profitability.

“Despite better management, farmers continue to

be challenged in managing the health and reproduction of cows,” said Fernando Di Croce, Zoetis genetics technical services director.

“The economic impact of diseases is significant based on incidence rate, cost and the increased culling risk if there is an event of a disease,” Di

Croce said during a webinar hosed by the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium.

“If the incidence rate of mastitis is from 12% to 40%, the cost of treatment is around $200 and there is a high risk of the animal being culled,” he said.

Zoetis has developed a

genetic evaluation for Holstein cattle that includes seven traits for lactating cattle.

“We are predicting the risk for mastitis, lameness, metritis, retained placenta, displaced abomasums, ketosis and milk fever,” Di Croce said. “We selected this group of traits to work with because of the frequency of these diseases and the economic importance.”

In addition, Zoetis identified three calf traits — calf livability, calf respiratory and calf scours.

“For each trait defined, the Holstein female was recorded with presence or absence of the disease or disorder in a given lactation,” Di Croce said. “We do not consider the severity of the disease or pathogen, just if the animal was impacted or not by the disease.”

Once the traits are generated, Di Croce said, they are integrated with all the other traits that are available for selecting dairy cows.

“We integrate the wellness traits with more than 50 different traits including; production, reproduction, longevity, milk quality, calving ability and functional type,” he said. “We integrate all the information it a multi-trait selection index to rank the animals.”

A study was conducted that included 3,400 pregnant Holstein females from 11 herds. The study consisted of genomic-tested first and second lactation females.

Researchers compared the percent of difference in disease in the best and worst genetic quartile according to the genomic predictions.

“The best quartile group

had 64% reduced incidence of retained placenta, 43% reduced incidence of metritis and 53% reduced incidence in ketosis when we compared them with the worst quartile,” Di Croce said.

“The new wellness traits for Holsteins have similar or higher reliabilities than some of the traditional traits like heifer conception rate,” he said. “These wellness traits are capturing the variations we’ve observed and they are demonstrating the differences in populations.”

USDA opens 2020 enrollment for Dairy Margin Coverage Program WASHINGTON — Dairy producers can now enroll in the Dairy Margin Coverage for calendar year 2020.

U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency recently opened registration for the program which helps producers manage economic risk brought on by milk price and feed cost disparities.

The DMC program offers reasonably priced protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all-milk price and the average feed cost — the margin — falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. The deadline to enroll in DMC for 2020 is Dec. 13.

Dairy farmers earned more than $300 million from the program in 2019, so far. Producers are encouraged to take advantage of this very important risk management tool for 2020.

All producers who want 2020 coverage, even those who took advantage of the 25% premium discount by locking in the coverage level for five years of margin protection coverage, are required to visit the office during this sign-up period to pay the annual administrative fee.

The 2018 farm bill created DMC, improving on

the previous safety net for dairy producers. DMC is one of many programs that FSA and other USDA agencies are implementing to support America’s farmers.

For more information on enrolling in DMC and taking advantage of an online dairy decision tool that assists producers in

selecting coverage for 2020, visit www.fsa.usda. gov/pr o g r a m s - a nd - s e r vices/dairy-margin-coverage-program/index For additional questions and assistance, contact a local USDA service center.

Farmer-to-Farmer Program brings help to other countries 9NKB01459_AG43C_C2_Zone4_0812_snap.indd

GREENCASTLE, Ind. — If you’ve ever wanted to volunteer to empower underserved farmers, now is your chance.

The Farmer-to-Farmer Program provides technical assistance from U.S. volunteers to farmers, farm groups, agribusinesses and other institutions in developing countries.

The goal is to promote s u s t a i n a ble i mpr ove ments in food security and agricultural processing, production and marketing.

Sequoia Ireland, a recruiter for the program, is searching for volunteers to lead efforts in South A mer ican cof fee and cacao farms.

Ireland led a webinar hosted by Purdue Women in Agriculture.

“We’re an organization that represents cooperatives in the U.S. and on a global scale,” she said.

“Over the last 65 years, we’ve worked in 89 countries. In 2018, we had 31 projects in 21 countries. “ We h e lp e d ov e r 400,000 farmers, including 150,000 women. Women play a huge role in agriculture.”

Volunteers spend two to four weeks helping farmers strengthen their skills.

“In the past, we worked in El Salvador, where farmers were experiencing pests and disease in their coffee fields, as well as their cucumbers and tomatoes,” Ireland said.

“We sent a volunteer down from Illinois. She was able to provide them with measures they could take to prevent those threats from ravaging their fields.”

Volunteer criteria: n U.S. citizen or green card holder. n Technical skills and experience. n Two to four weeks’ availability. n Availability to virtually meet with field staff or host organization, as well as prepare training materials prior to the in-country assignment.

“We helped over 400,000 farmers, including 150,000 women. Women play a huge role in agriculture.”

Sequoia Ireland FARMER-TO-FARMER PROGRAM

n Flexibility to work through unforeseen circumstances. n Willingness to provide technical assistance in rudimentary conditions. n Interest in cultural exchange in addition to technical exchange. n Write a final report and provide host organization with recommendations.

“When we talk about volunteer responsibilities, being able to communicate with the field staff and the host organization is very important,” Ireland said.

“If you are on the fence about Peace Corps, give Farmer to Farmer a try.

Peace Corps is a two-year commitment. Farmer to Farmer is a two- to fourweek commitment.”

There are a variety of assignments that volunteers are matched with, ranging from agricultural to business skills.
