CHICAGO — Farmland values have remained steady despite the abysmal agriculture economy, according to Federal Reserve’s third-quarter surveys.

The Seventh Federal Reserve District of Chicago saw a yearover-year decrease of 1% in its farmland values in the third quarter, and values for “good” agricultural land were 1% higher than in the second quarter of 2019.

“The district has not experienced a year-over-year change in its agricultural land values of greater than 1% over the past 12 qu a r t er s – an unprecedented streak of relative stability in farmland values,” Oppedahl sa id Dav id Oppedahl, Chicago Fed senior business economist.

“Nevertheless, there was substantial variation in farmland value changes among the district’s five states. Farmland values for Illinois and Wisconsin were down on a year-over-year basis 1% and 2%, respectively, while Indiana and Iowa farmland values were both unchanged from a year ago. Indiana farmland values increased 3% from the second quarter to the third quarter.”

Although 76% of 170 agricultural bankers responding expected the district’s farmland values to be stable during the fourth quarter of 2019, there was a downward tilt to the expectations of bankers, as only 6% of them anticipated an increase in farmland values in the final quarter of this year and 18% anticipated a decrease.

OPEN FIR BUSINESS

Busy season begins at Christmas tree farm

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LELAND, Ill. — For many people, Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the official start to the holiday shopping season.

For Craig Johnson and Josh Chrestman of Indian Creek Tree Farm, this Black Friday weekend will be the climax to a challenging growing year.

“Opening on the day after Thanksgiving has been a tradition, that’s our busiest weekend,” Johnson said.

But this year, Nov. 29, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 will be the farm’s only open weekend, a change from the last few years, when the farm sold trees every weekend until Christmas.

The reason? The crop they grow takes some time to mature.

“We’re running out of mature trees,” Johnson said.

What many people who sit around that lovely live 6-foot Christmas tree on Christmas morning don’t consider is that it takes years to get that tree to a standard and popular height.

“It’s like a rotation. We plant every year. They grow about a foot a year on average. It takes about six to seven years, on average, to get a 6- to 7-foot tree and it depends on the weather,” Johnson said.

The excessive wet conditions this year has been a challenge

“It was good on the top of the hills and bad on the bottoms.

It killed a lot of small trees. We lost a couple hundred small trees based on just too much water,” Chrestman said.

Like different varieties of corn or soybeans, different varieties of Christmas trees have different tolerances for wet and dry condition.

“White pines and Scotch pines do the best in the low

spots and at the bottom. All the firs do better at the top,” Johnson said.

Johnson and Chrestman employ local high school students to help on the farm throughout the year. Planting preparations start as soon as the farm stops selling trees for the season.

“Once the trees are cut, we pull the stumps, field cultivate, rototill then plant in the spring.

Former White House chef dishes at summit Discusses food policy, ag technology

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — Sam Kass’s love for food has taken him from the White House kitchen to the world of venture capitalism.

Kass, White House chef and senior policy adviser for nutrition in the Obama administration, was a keynote speaker at this year’s Ag Bioscience Innovation Summit. He is now a partner at Acre Venture Partners.

Kass shared his thoughts on a variety of food-related topics. Here are a few takeaways from his conversation: ON INVESTING IN AG BIOSCIENCES “Now is the right time to be investing in the right entrepreneurs in the right place,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Illinois’ second Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy Biennial Report indicated significant investments being made with measurable progress.

The report, issued Nov. 18 by the Illinois Department of Agriculture and state Environmental Protection Agency directors, describes the continued progress being made in the state to reduce nutrient losses from multiple sources to improve water quality not only in Illinois waterways, but also in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico.

“The report illustrates all facets of agriculture coming together to promote best management practices,” said John Sullivan, IDOA director. “The next step is transitioning more farmers from awareness of nutrient loss practices to application.”

“The 2019 Biennial Report describes some of the dramatic reductions in total phosphorus discharges from some of the largest wastewater treatment facilities in the state,” said state EPA Director John Kim. “We’ve already nearly met one of our 2025 goals of 25% reduction of phosphorus from the point source sector, and we look forward to continued nutrient reductions.”

Sam Kass served as White House chef and senior policy adviser for nutrition in the Obama administration.

Reduction rates not high enough

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Progress is being made in Illinois’ efforts to reduce the loss of nutrients in rivers and streams, but there is much work to be done to voluntarily meet the goals set by the Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy.

After the NLRS biennial report was released Nov. 18, several groups commented on the current progress.

The Illinois Sustainable Agriculture Partnership believes that reduction rates are not enough to meet the 2025 NLRS goals.

“ISAP is working with farmers to increase voluntary efforts to reduce nutrient runoff.

We know farmers are making changes in their operations due to nutrient loss concerns — but it simply is not fast enough and we need to accelerate the adoption of the appropriate practices in order to have a significant impact,” said Jill Kostel, ISAP partner and senior environmental engineer for The Wetlands Initiative.

As a coordinated group, ISAP members are focused on promoting and providing technical resources and guidance on the systems approach to addressing nutrient runoff. ISAP also recognizes the need for more state and federal resources.

“Before we think about regulation, we need to build up our state and federal staff capacity and funding resources.

Innovations improving ag’s environmental performance

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHICAGO — Both farmers and consumers care a lot about food production and the environment for a variety of reasons.

“The public cares about the environment for recreation, and they want clean air and water,” said Robert Johansson, U.S. Department of Agriculture chief economist.

Americans spend roughly $170 billion in the Midwest on outdoor recreation. According to the USDA, Americans spent about $1.6 trillion on food at home and away from home in 2017.

“Farmers also care about the environment because they also do recreation and they are concerned about profitability and potential liability for their environmental performance,” said Johansson during the Improving Midwest Agriculture and the Environment meeting.

However, Johansson said, there is a concern of how farmers are going to pay for environmental practices when net farm income is under so much pressure.

“A lot of farms are under financial stress now, although we’ve seen an uptick in net farm income for 2018 and 2019 as a result of the Market Facilitation payments,” he said at the annual Agriculture Conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. “For the next 10 years, farmers are facing declining net farm income.”

One of the reasons for the declining farm income is export value of products is down.

“It’s not as much as you might expect due to the regulatory tariffs, but certainly with respect to our exports to China,” Johansson said. “The remarkable thing is we’ve found homes for a lot of our product in other parts of the globe, so in volume terms, we’re doing quite well, but in value terms, we’re down from our highs we saw in 2014 and 2015.”

Farmers can focus on improving the environmental performance of farms at the same they are limiting their environmental impacts.

“Productivity has the potential for improving environmental performance, maybe not in a given year, but certainly over a period of time,” Johansson said.

“Over the last 100 years, farm outputs have increased by nearly four times and inputs have remained relatively constant,” he said. “That’s a pretty remarkable thing.”

A variety of innovations has contributed to the increase in productivity.

“From rubber tires on tractors to today we’re thinking about big data applications and biotech traits to help improve productivity while maintaining inputs at current levels which means better environmental performance for global agriculture,” Johansson said.

The USDA reports corn output has risen by 435% since 1960 and soybeans by 1,190%.

“A variety of technologies have driven these increases including improved seed varieties, use of chemical inputs, genetic modifications, as well as equipment improvements, which all translates into higher corn yield,” Johansson said.

“This leads to falling

food prices, which is good for a growing population, and we need to make sure our Johansson global trade system is allowing the food to go from where it’s produced to where it’s demanded.”

In the Corn Belt, the amount of nitrogen applied to corn acres has been increasing, Johansson said, but on a per-bushel basis it’s been declining.

“It makes sense to apply more fertilizer to cornfields because we’re producing more on that field and taking more nitrogen off the field,” he said.

The same trend is occurring in the dairy industry, with the number of dairy cows declining, but the milk production per cow increasing substantially.

“We now have about 10 million cows, and each cow produces on average 25,000 pounds of milk,” Johansson said. “The enteric methane emissions from dairy have dropped 55% from the 1920s to today, so we’re seeing environmental and productivity enhancements in both crops and livestock.”

The USDA has programs to provide incen-

tives to boost investments in the adoption of conservation practices, including the Conservation Reserve Program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program.

Planting cover crops is one option for farmers to help reduce soil erosion and runoff, while improving water management, soil health and suppressing weeds. “Cover crop adoption is increasing but still relatively low so there is a lot of potential for improvement,” Johansson said.

“There is about a 5% adoption of cover crops in the Corn Belt and Lake States, and it’s higher in the Northeast, at about 20%,” he said. “And for both corn and soybeans, we’re seeing accumulative increases in yields when you plant cover crops for one, three and five consecutive years.”

Precision agriculture provides farmers the ability to apply fertilizer and other inputs in the right quantities and maximizes nutrient benefits while minimizing over application.

“It improves financial benefits by reducing inputs, but that technology is not cheap,” Johansson said.

Inconsistency, then, is the path to successfully controlling this pest.

Using a variety of control methods in a multi-year field plan helps delay development of corn rootworm resistance.

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

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

It’s always stacked with a second, proven mode of action against corn rootworm, delivering a powerful one-two punch that uppercuts rootworm and fights resistance.

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

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

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

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

PrairiErth wins Good Food award

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DENVER — A central Illinois farm is among seven honored nationwide as a recipient of the Good Food Farmer and Purveyor of the Year Award.

PrairiErth Farm near Atlanta, Illinois, was the award winner in the Great Lakes area.

Good Food 100 Restaurants recognized the “industry trailblazers” for leading the way in changing the food system and their commitment to sustainability and transparency.

The 2019 Good Food 100 Restaurants Good Food Farmer and Purveyor of the Year Awards honor and celebrate up to one farmer, rancher, fisherman or one purveyor or distributor nominated by the participating 2019 Good Food 100 chefs in each region.

Winners are selected by the Good Food Media Network team based on their commitment to sustainability, transparency and advancing good food practices as well as quantity and quality of the nomination forms.

All award winners receive a certificate and a T-shirt with Good Food 100 insignia.

PrairiErth Farm is a diversified organic farm operated by Dave Bishop, his sons, Hans and Graham, and Hans’ wife, Katie. It includes 350 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, hay, vegetables, beef cattle, heritage breed pigs, fruit, flowers, herbs and bees.

“Hans and I were nominated for this award by some of the restaurants we’ve worked with in the past. It’s an honor to be recognized as a partner in bringing awareness to all the benefits of local food,” Katie said.

“It’s only awarded to farms that use regeneratively sustainable practices, which is even more special. It’s difficult for

most restaurants to include organic products in their menu due to the increased food costs, but we’ve been able to work with our chefs side-by-side to find products they can highlight affordably, while telling the story of our often overlooked small farm culture here in Illinois.

Oftentimes the restaurants get the local-food glory, deserved of course, but to be able to share in that recognition is wonderful and we are grateful.”

“Restaurant sustainability begins with sourcing. Good food restaurants wouldn’t be where they are without having access to good food. We’re proud to honor the producers and purveyors who are working tirelessly to support every link in the food chain,” said Sara Brito, co-founder and president, Good Food 100 Media Network.

“With sustainability and transparency at the center of the industry and cultural conversation, now is the time to recognize and celebrate the people and businesses changing the food system for good.”

The Good Food 100 Restaurants is an annual list of restaurants that educates eaters and celebrates restaurants for being transparent with their business and purchasing practices.

The Good Food 100 is produced and published by the Good Food Media Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating eaters by cultivating a conversation and community around the people and businesses changing the food system for good.

Propane pipelines and terminals

Propane pain Midwest shortage delays grain drying

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MENDOTA, Ill. — For La Salle County farmer Ken Beck, 2019 has been a year to forget.

The latest headache came in the form of logistics hang-ups that have created a shortage of propane for farmers like Beck, as well as for commercial grain elevators.

“We sure didn’t need this,” Beck said.

As of Nov. 15, Beck had over 300 acres of corn yet to combine. He also was running his grain dryer to dry corn — as long as his supply of propane would allow.

“I got half a load yesterday, about 3,500 gallons. We were combining this morning. I’ve got about 30% left in the tank and I’ll dry until I run out and then I’ll quit until they can bring me some,” Beck said.

The problem of not having enough propane to dry the wet grain coming out of fields is being felt across the entire Midwest.

“This year is going to fight us all the way to the very end,” said Mark Heil, general manager of Prairie Central Co-op in Chenoa, Illinois.

Two of Prairie Central’s nine elevators use propane to fuel their grain-drying systems. Heil said that while one of those elevators is close to being finished with harvest, the other is only around half done.

“That has created a challenge because we have not received a supply of propane here for a few days,” Heil said.

Heil said that has created a situation where operations hinge on how much propane is left.

“We are going hour by hour, minute by minute, day by day here, just trying to work our way through it,” he said.

The inability to get propane has inevitably impacted the farmers who are moving grain to elevators for drying and

storage.

“We’ve had to reduce our hours of receiving. We have other elevators and we have had to ask our customers if they can deliver their grain to those locations, which is a little further transportation for them,” Heil said.

The problem is not on the end of the local suppliers, and Beck and Heil noted that suppliers are feeling the pain along with their customers.

“They were teaspooning me along, so I could keep running, not full days, but most of the day. They were doing their darndest to keep everybody moving, thinking there would be a break. They are trying their best,” said Beck of his propane supplier.

Heil agreed that local propane suppliers are feeling the pain, as well due to tight supplies.

“Our supplier is saying they are doing the best they can, and we know they are. They are professionals in this thing, and it just caught everybody off guard. They are trying to get it and get it to customers as soon as they can. They try to keep us updated, and they seem as frustrated with this situation as we are. Our vendor has done a wonderful job for decades, and this is the first time we’ve seen this situation,” Heil said.

The problem is not that there is not enough propane. U.S. propane supplies are plentiful, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

The U.S. EIA report ending Nov. 14 showed U.S. propane supplies at 97.653 million barrels, down just 2.5 million barrels from the week prior and up 13.893 million barrels from the same time a year ago.

Part of the issue is that a late, wet spring planting throughout the Midwest meant a later harvest of higher moisture grain — and that harvest has occurred almost at the same

time throughout the Midwest, prompting a widespread demand for propane.

“Normally, at harvest, we have a gradual move from the south up to the north to dry grain, so it all works together.

Everybody finishes at a different time. This year, because it was so wet and the crops were planted late, everybody is harvesting at the same time in the upper Midwest,” said Deb Grooms, CEO of the Iowa Propane Association.

The propane that is used in the Midwest comes from pipeline terminals in Conway, Kansas, and Bushton, Kansas.

“The infrastructure is the pipeline, and there’s only so much that come up the pipeline.

One of those pipelines also has isobutane on it, so it’s not a dedicated propane line,” Grooms said.

Demand also has grown as the bushels produced have increased.

“One big thing is that the infrastructure has not kept up with the farm equipment, bigger combines and bigger capacity grain dryers are new additions, but the pipeline hasn’t been updated,” Grooms said.

On Nov. 1, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a regional emergency waiver pertaining to Hours of Service regulations for Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin to allow for the transportation of propane in those states.

“That means we can take trucks to go further out to bring propane back. We have a lot of drivers who are going to Conway, Kansas, to get product because there’s plenty of propane there,” Grooms said.

Elevate hunter safety Tree stands cause of most injuries

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — Deer hunting season is in full swing, and leaders from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources encourage farmers to take safety precautions in the field.

An estimated 300,000 people will hunt deer in Indiana this year, according to DNR. The most common injuries during deer season involve tree stands and elevated platforms.

Follow these safety tips when hunting from an elevated position: Before the hunt: n Read and understand the tree stand manufacturer’s instructions. n Check tree stands and equipment for wear, fatigue, and cracks or loose nuts/bolts, paying particularly close attention

to parts made of material other than metal. n Practice at ground level. n Learn how to properly wear your full body safety harness.

During the hunt: n Wear your full body safety harness. n Use a tree stand safety rope. n Make certain to attach your harness to the tree before leaving the ground, and that it remains attached to the tree until you return to the ground. n Maintain three points of contact during ascent and descent. n Use boots with non-slip soles to avoid slipping. n Use a haul line to raise and lower firearms, bows and other hunting gear. n Make certain firearms are unloaded before attaching the haul line.

NLRS report key findings

By Tom C. Doran

total phosphorous load occurred in the Illinois River. n Illinois EPA provided point source discharge of total nitrogen and total phosphorous for 2017. The statewide point source total nitrogen discharge was about 75 million pounds per year or about 14% less than the 2011 estimate. Point source total phosphorous discharge in 2017 was estimated to be 14 million pounds per year or about 22% less than the 2011 estimate of 18.1 million pounds per year. n In general, 2012-2017 nitrate-nitrogen yields were similar to values calculated for 1997-2011. n For watersheds with nitrate-nitrogen yield greater than 11 pounds of nitrate-nitrogen per acre per year, changes in nitrate yield were correlated with change in water yield. n For three watersheds in northwest Illinois — Mackinaw River, Spoon River and FlintHenderson — saw some reduction in nitrate-nitrogen yield that appears to be independent of water yield changes. n Changes in estimation methods used for the Lower Illinois River and Lower Sangamon

River resulted in lower estimates of nitrate-nitrogen loads for these watersheds. n Reductions in total phosphorus yield in Chicago and Des Plaines River watersheds of between 15% and 27% corresponded to reductions in point source discharges in those watersheds. n Conversely, increases in total phosphorus yield were calculated for the Upper Sangamon River, Macoupin Creek and several other watersheds. n A survey found producers used the Maximum Return to Nitrogen strategy on corn acres in 2017 to help determine the amount of nitrogen to apply. In addition, producers used other industry-recommended techniques on 69% of their corn acres. In 2017, many producers considered two or more strategies before applying nitrogen to some corn acres; therefore, the sum of those percentages is greater than 100.

Mississippi River Basin to reduce the amount of nutrients entering the Gulf of Mexico, which causes a “dead zone” of oxygen-depleted water.

During the reporting period of 2017-2018, the agriculture sector invested more than $59 million in nutrient loss reduction for research, outreach, implementation and monitoring.

These contributions have come from Agriculture Water Quality Partnership Forum members and other agriculture related organizations that are working toward reaching the goals set forth in the Illinois NLRS. During that same period, over 84,000 people attended field days, conferences, or workshops to learn about practices that can be implemented to reduce nutrient loss from farm fields.

The IDOA administers the state-funded Partners for Conservation program in cooperation with the states’ 97 Soil and Water Conservation Districts.

The program provides technical and financial incentives to Illinois landowners for the construction or adoption of conservation practices that reduce soil erosion and nutrient loading from non-point agricultural sources and improve water quality.

EPA issues National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits to wastewater treatment facilities to regulate the amount of pollutants that can

enter Illinois waterways.

By the end of 2018, Illinois EPA had issued 65 NPDES permits to wastewater treatment facilities limiting the total phosphorus concentrations to 1.0 milligrams per liter. The agency expects the number of permits with a total phosphorus limit to grow substantially in the coming years.

Data also shows some facilities without permit limits are reducing their nutrient loads by optimizing existing equipment.

“In areas with tile drainage, constructed wetlands, bioreactors and saturated buffers need to be implemented to capture and remove nitrates before they leave the field and enter downstream waters.

“The NLRS relies on voluntary adoption of conservation practices like cover crops, but this report points to another alarming observation — that public funding for educational outreach programs aimed at expanding the use of cover crops had decreased over the last few years, setting us far behind our nutrient pollution goals.

To reach our goals, Illinois will need to increase its support for farmers to incorporate conservation into their farms.”

Josh Chrestman explains that the popular conical Christmas tree shape is achieved by annual pruning, one of the most time-consuming jobs on the farm. Christmas trees grow from the top, the leader, and pruning starts there and moves down.

TREE

“After the trees are gone, that’s when the work begins,” Chrestman said.

That work continues throughout the year.

“People don’t realize it, but it’s a lot of work year-round. Some people think you just go and plant a tree and you’re done with it,” Johnson said.

Pruning is one of the major chores. Christmas trees grow from the top, the leader, so they have to be trimmed into the popular cone shape from the top.

“It’s a long process. Every tree is a minimum of five clips, up to a hundred clips per tree,” Chrestman said.

They also have to trim to keep a variety of tree shapes, from taller and more cylindrical to shorter and more round.

“The shorter you trim the top leader, the fuller the tree will get,” Johnson said.

In addition to the trees, the farm also provides greens and red dogwood branches to a local nursery. Chrestman’s father makes barnwood furniture that is sold at the shop and Chrestman, who owns JC Health and Fitness gyms in Sandwich and Yorkville, oversees the preparation of the deep fried cinnamon rolls that are something of a specialty at the farm.

“It’s job security,” Chrestman

joked.

They found the idea at the Sandwich Fair and have improvised on it.

“They have these monster cinnamon rolls at the fair, and I thought cinnamon rolls just fit the season perfectly. We batter and deep fry ours and ours are small, bite size, and you get five of them in a boat. This will be our fifth year selling them,” Chrestman said.

On opening day, Black Friday, the farm opens at 9 a.m. and is open until 4 p.m.

“We have people lining up outside at 7 a.m.,” Johnson said.

The staff on the open weekends is about 15 people.

“It takes 15 people to plant them and 15 people to sell them,” Johnson said.

The farm itself is Johnson’s family farm. His father, Charles Johnson, had a cow-calf herd on the land where Christmas trees of various shapes and sizes and varieties now grow in sharp rows.

After a barn fire, Johnson went out of that business and a few years later, he and a friend who had a background in forestry decided to give tree farming a try.

They started planting trees in 1989, and Johnson and Chrestman took over from Craig’s dad them in 2012.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The 179-page Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy Biennial Report provided a summary of efforts being conducted by partners and measurable findings for 2017-2018.

Nitrate and total phosphorous yields for the eight major rivers draining Illinois were estimated.

Here are some of the key findings: n Annual statewide total phosphorous loads from point sources have been reduced by 4.3 million pounds when comparing 2018 discharges with 2011 baseline year levels.

This represents at 24% reduction in phosphorus from point sources. n For the five-year period of 2013-2017, the statewide water flow, nitrate-nitrogen loads and total phosphorous loads were estimated to be 13%, 7% and 26%, respectively, above the 1980-1996 baseline period.

Much of the increase in nitrate load occurred in the Rock River, while much of the increase in

GOALS

FROM PAGE ONE

These reductions are being realized as a direct result of investments by wastewater treatment facilities to meet more stringent nutrient permit limits.

Illinois officials expect to see continued progress in meeting the long-term goal of 45% reduction in nutrients as additional planned wastewater treatment facility upgrades occur.

In-field practices to reduce nutrient losses include conservation tillage, cover crops, split fall and spring nitrogen applications, edge-of-field tile treatment practices that include constructed wetlands, bioreactors and saturated buffer.

NLRS GOALS The Illinois NLRS was first released in 2015. The strategy’s goal is to reduce the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in Illinois waterways by 45%. Interim goals include reducing the amount of phosphorus by 25% and nitrogen by 15% by 2025.

Implementation efforts are led by strategy partners in the Policy Working Group and other sector committees, guided by the IDOA and Illinois EPA, with assistance provided by the University of Illinois Extension.

The Illinois NLRS is part of a broader effort being implemented by states in the

INDIANAPOLIS — Former White House Chef Sam Kass was inspired by FFA students during his time in Washington, D.C. “I was in the White House for six years,” he said. “I met with every CEO, I met with Republicans and Democrats — people who loved me, people who hated me. I got it from all sides. And the toughest meeting or event I ever did, by far, was with FFA. “The best, smartest questions during my six years, were from future farmers. … I never came away more inspired about what was possible, and the future of food, just because of the quality of young people speaking on these issues.”

Kass was a keynote speaker at the AgriNovus Ag Bioscience Summit. He shared encouragement with students and young adults.

“In the end, what really shapes these decisions way more than policy is our culture and the things that we value.

“I think policy has an important role, but it’s not going to be the driver of change.”

“The older generations have made a lot of progress on certain things, but they left a lot of problems to you guys,” he said.

“It’s not fair. But we’re going to need you commitment, vision and innovation to continue to find new ways to make things happen.”

He encouraged students to ask tough questions, and to work personally and professionally to move their ideals forward.

“I think right now it’s about learning, exploration and trying things out,” he advised.

“Passion can take on different forms — it can grow and evolve over time. You should go work for a big company, then work for a startup. Get out of the U.S. One of the best things I did was travel.

“It helps give you a deep perspective on where you’re from, how great it is and the parts that can be improved. Have as many experiences as you possibly can.”

AT THE WHITE HOUSE “Kids see 5,000 ads for junk food every year, and 100 for fruits, vegetables, whole grains and water. That’s the disparity… We needed a little more love when it came to vegetables.

So, that’s what we tried to do.”

CREDIT CONDITIONS Third-quarter agricultural credit conditions for the Chicago district were yet again worse relative to a year ago.

For the July through September period of 2019, repayment rates on non-real-estate farm loans were lower than a year earlier. The index of loan repayment rates was 70 in the third quarter of 2019, as 2% of responding bankers observed higher rates of loan repayment than a year ago and 32% observed lower rates. Index values below 100 indicate more bankers responded that repayment rates or renewals and extensions were lower.

“Furthermore, renewals and extensions of non-real estate agricultural loans were higher in the third quarter of 2019 relative to the same quarter of 2018, with 30% of the responding bankers reporting more of them and just 1% reporting fewer. For six straight years,

repayment rates for non-real estate farm loans have been lower each quarter relative to the same quarter of the year before, while loan renewals and extensions have been higher,” Oppedahl said.

One responding banker from Indiana observed “an overall sense of unease among our farmers.” Furthermore, a survey respondent from Illinois commented on “trade issues causing most of the uncertainty and stress” among local bank customers.

Though the farm sector is facing some volatility, current conditions could provide opportunities for some. An Indiana banker wrote, “I expect this market will eliminate highly leveraged operators and allow others to expand their operations.”

INVESTMENTS During the reporting period of 2017-2018, the point source sector invested over $224 million in nutrient removal technologies and related activities.

The Illinois EPA, through its State Revolving Fund program, provides low-interest loans to point source projects addressing water quality issues, including nutrient pollution. This program provided $668.40 million in loans from 2017-2018, with $176.19 million specifically spent on nutrient removal technologies.

In addition, Illinois EPA’s Section 319 grant program provides funding for non-point source projects designed to achieve nutrient reduction and provides $3.5 million annually to projects mitigating agriculture and urban storm water runoff.

quality farmland values fell 1.7% in the third quarter from a year earlier. By contrast, ranchland or pastureland values rose sharply and were reported to be up 10.6% from a year earlier.

A slight majority of bankers expected ranchland and pastureland values to increase further over the next three months, and a slight majority of respondents expect farmland values to decline further over that same period.

Similar to the second quarter responses in the St. Louis district, proportionately more bankers reported an increase in loan demand and a decrease in the availability of funds in the third quarter relative to a year ago.

More bankers reported a decline in the rate of loan repayment in the third quarter.

Survey respondents reported that, compared with the second quarter, interest rates were lower across all loan types in the third quarter.

Managing pastures a priority for grass-fed cattle

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHICAGO — Grazing dairy herds requires dairymen to be day-to-day managers.

“Cows are always doing something you don’t expect, so you have to watch, observe and pay attention to what they’re doing,” said Kev in Mahalko, who farms near Gilman, Wisconsin, and is the president of GrassWorks Inc. “My parents star ted this farm in 1969, and now we have about 120 Holstein cattle total on the farm,” he said during the Improving Midwest A g r icu lt u re a nd t he Environment meeting.

“In the ‘80s, we had the highest producing herd in our county, but the economic system wasn’t working so we looked for alternatives,” Mahalko explained at the annual Agriculture Conference at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

“We went to organic not just because of the higher price, but when I was conventional, we had these huge swings where we’d go from $19 milk down to $9 milk,” he said. “That made it really difficult to plan, so with organic, we’ve lost a little bit of production, but maintained a lot better stability.”

The dairyman focuses on forage quality for his operation.

“We are 100% grass-fed for our cattle, so the pastures are our highest priority,” he stressed. “We want to grow high volumes of pasture, so the cattle have all their nutritional needs right off the field and that requires good soil.”

A lot of documentation is required for organic operations.

“We have wellness checks and veterinary checks that are documented because that’s what the consumer is concerned about,” Mahalko said.

“We don’t use antibiotics or growth hormones, and we have yearly farm inspections. I think I’ve had six farm inspections this year, and my organic inspection was eight hours.”

Mahalko strives to be very efficient with his winter feed storage.

“We do a lot of big square haylage, and we have to maintain the solar captured energy in the forage,” he explained. “We also stockpile forage, and I’m still grazing dairy cows now with some supplemental hay.”

The nutritional value of grass-fed products, Mahalko said, is important to a lot of consumers.

“The higher Omega-3 is really strong for heart disease prevention, memor y enha ncement a nd brain development,” he added.

A 30 -year cropping trial at the University of Wisconsin evaluated the net carbon balance of different agricultural practices.

“The managed grazing lost less carbon in the first year than any other cropping system, and in the years beyond that, it was sequestering carbon,” Mahalko said.

Mahalko provides tours of his farm to many groups.

“This is a nursing school class, and when they see the cows, look at the land and the demonstrations of what’s happening on the farm, they really get excited about it,” he said.

“This new consumer base wants to see more of this type of agriculture.”

“We really encourage the apprentice to take ownership of cattle somewhere along the process, so they can go into a bank or a FSA loan office, present a business plan and be ready to roll,” Mahalko said.

Offsetting soybeans’ 75% natural attrition Keys to winning pod count battle

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — It’s a given that soybeans will abort 75% of their pods and flowers. The key is to provide the crop with tools to offset that natural attrition.

Matt Montgomery, Pioneer field agronomist in west-central Illinois, said in an Illinois Soybean Association webinar the 75% loss is a double-edged sword.

“It’s both a good thing, and it’s tough thing to deal with. It’s a good thing in the fact that the soybean plant produces many more flowers than it ever needs or that it ever will be able to support. And it also spreads that flower production period over a long period of time, which means that the plant spreads its risk a little bit,” Montgomery said.

“It’s not quite like corn.

Corn has this really sensitive period that’s packed into a period of time of about a week and a half when it is incredibly vulnerable to environmental stress. Soybeans are vulnerable to environmental stress, but they spread out that period of time and because of that they aren’t quite showing that same degree of vulnerability.”

Montgomery provided recommendations to help produce as many pods and flowers as possible to offset that 75% attrition and win the pod count battle.

Here’s what he said.

ON THE PRESEASON “If we don’t get weed management to begin with, then every other conversation you and I have from here on out is for naught.

Weeds have the ability to take all of the input decisions that we do for the rest of the season and basically zero out the impact of that.

“Stewardship of the products available is a part of weed control. There are over 200 cases of documented herbicide resistant weeds worldwide, onethird of which are within the United States.

“No new herbicide modes of action have been introduced since the 1980s and no new modes of action are anticipated until the 2030s. In addition, weeds are developing metabolic resistance where they produce their own safeners that enables them to metabolize or chew up the product before it can knock down that plant.

“There are two ways to lose herbicide or pesticide tools — regulations and resistance. An herbicide cocktail approach is absolutely essential using more than one mode of action. “ Weed ma nagement should also be viewed as an investment. Sometimes we’ve neglected to spend extra dollars because we thought about that as re-

turn we need to have this year. Herbicide purchases are much more akin to a fertilizer purchase; they’re much more akin to an equipment purchase.

“There’s a significant amount of good that you get out of that purchase this year, but it’s a long term investment in decreasing the weed seed bank and because of that perspective we should be a little bit more willing to do maybe that extra mile, maybe stretch just a little bit because we’re investing in something that’s going to benefit us over the long term by maintaining the long term viability of that farm.”

ON PLANTING “Multiple variety and maturity trials confirm that planting early matters.

A one-third bushel per day per acre loss for later planting was noted in the 2014, 2015 and 2017 trials, one-fourth bushel loss per acre per day in 2016, and two-thirds of a bushel loss in 2018 based on the trials’

Variety selection, seed treatment and scouting are all important factors in boosting soybean yields, and as the growing season progresses there are actions growers can take to maximize yields. trend lines.

“I recognize that weather is not in our control and 2018 was a good example of a year that did not provide us with an opportunity to go early. But in many years we do have the opportunity to push things earlier.

“There was a thin relationship this year between planting date and yield

material is covering the ground. The more leaf material you have per period of time covering the ground is strongly correlated to yields because we’re increasing the photosynthetic hardware needed to support seeds that will be produced.

“Early planting will increase the likelihood of a higher pod count and in each node. If we can increase the number of nodes we inflate that pile and that natural 75% attrition doesn’t feel quite so severe and we actually have a net yield gain oftentimes from that.

“This is a very low to no cost way to bump up yield in the field with very little input cost. The thing I’ve stressed an awful lot with our growers is you don’t have to be the earliest.

What I’m saying is nudge it earlier because there’s going to be some kind of benefit nine out of 10 times.”

— maybe only one-tenth of a bushel per day loss.

That means a lot of other things after planting went right and that offset the delayed planting. We had a lot of other things occur that kind of masked the delayed planting.

Alpacas bring shear joy

“It’s a good thing that we now see the industry moving toward cocktails even on seed treatments because it’s absolutely imperative that we do that.”

ON MID TO LATE SEASON “Seventy-five percent of fields in Illinois are probably infected with soybean cyst nematodes and resistance is developing.

Soybeans are very hardy but the pest spectrum that we deal with does change and is changing a lot here recently.

“Other pests in Illinois are sudden death syndrome look-a-likes red crown rot, Dectes stem borer, frogeye leaf spot, and pod and stem blight.

“We continue to see responsiveness to fungicide.

I don’t think you have to do much of a grower survey to find out that people do feel like they’re seeing value in fungicide. Some of that reason is physiological. We know that maybe something is happening within the plant.

“We are reminded that the pest environment will always change and adapt.

Alpaca fiber can be processed into yarns for a number of uses, including clothes, toys and rugs.

PLYMOUTH, Ill. (AP) — A western Illinois alpaca breeder said she’s found her art through working with the animals’ luxurious fibers.

Lindsey Moore is showcasing the alpacas at her farm in Plymouth during National Alpaca Farm Days. Moore, who owns a total of 53 Suri and Huacaya alpacas, said she first fell in love with the animals’ eyes and personality.

But she also loves the fiber: the soft silky sheen of Suri and the fluffier Huacaya.

“To me, it’s like making a color palette for someone to paint with, but instead they’re spinning it into yarn or felting with it,”

Moore said. “It makes me feel good.”

Moore told the Quincy Herald-Whig that she was responding to a demand for better-priced alpacas in the area when she started breeding alpacas in recent years.

Her alpacas sell from $500 to $2,000, but Moore said that other farms sell their alpacas for as much as $12,000.

Visitors to her Little Creek Alpacas property during the recent National Alpaca Farm Days met some of her animals, learned about their fiber, watched spinning and felting demonstrations and bought alpaca textiles.

Alpaca fiber can be pro-

cessed into yarns for a number of uses including in clothes, toys and rugs.

Shearing takes place once a year, usually at the end of April. The males can produce 5 to 7 pounds of fiber, and the females yield 2 to 4 pounds.

Moore said alpaca fiber is popular because it wicks moisture, is stain resistant and antimicrobial.

Alpacas will let humans pet them — as long as the humans are patient. Moore describes them as catlike and aloof.

“I tell people the best thing to do is sit in a chair at dusk with a camera or a book, and they’ll come up to you on their own,” she said.

“Successful future soybean production requires that we not be lulled into complacency. Monitor SCN, rotate to corn, rotate resistant varieties, and utilize seed treatments. It’s imperative to use cocktail pest management strategies.”

ON NUTRIENT DEMAND “Phosphorous and potash are incredibly important.

Something to keep an eye on is how sulfur is going to become one of those nutrients we’ll have to apply one of these days. A cleaner environment means less deposition of sulfur.

“We get roughly 25 pounds of sulfur out of air and out of decomposing organic material, and you look at an 80 bushel per acre soybean crop with 16 to 20 pounds of sulfur removed, you begin seeing very quickly how we might flirt very soon with sulfur supply issues on that crop.

“A foundational idea that you may to want to start in the near term is to do some sulfur strips from time to time in soybean fields. See if you get some response.”

ON POD FILL “Spread your risk. Late July through August is a very critical time for soybean stress because that is when pod fill usually happens. There’s a lot of precipitation variability the beginning of the season and during that reproductive period, and risk must be managed. Moisture isn’t the only thing that matters to yield but it plays a big role.

“The ability to outguess Mother Nature and say we need to run to one side of the maturity spectrum that tends to be used in my area or the other is kind of a lost cause because we don’t know what’s going to happen with rainfall throughout the late July through August period. It’s one of the most variable periods of time and we can’t predict what’s going to happen with moisture.

“Little differences in temperature can move around the reproductive period a lot, meaning that we aren’t going to be able to predict which portion of the maturity spectrum is going to rise to the top.

“I would encourage you to strongly consider the strategy of spreading out your maturities because that spreads out your sensitivity to that variability that we see.

“You need to ask yourself, am I managing risk or flirting with it because a lot of the headaches that we deal with can be avoided by asking ourselves that question before we step into things.”

From The Fields Thankful for family We finally had a nice run of decent weather and were able to make a dent on the corn harvest over the weekend.

There’s still a lot to be done, but it makes you feel better when you can cross fields off the to-be-harvested list. The weather folks are calling for rain later today along with more rain and possible snow later this week. Not what we need.

Perhaps one of these times they will be wrong when it comes to more precipitation this year.

I am hoping for more sun, so we can switch back and get soybeans finished, but it doesn’t sound promising right now.

Considering the challenges of 2019, we are thankful for the yields we do have out there. It will be a year we remember for a long time. Wet spring with flooding, late planting, record number of prevent plant acres, more rains and flooding all summer long, wet fall, early snow, more rains, with a late harvest with wet grain and a lack of LP when we need it.

Frustrations and tensions galore this year, but while we struggle, we still have hope and are already planning for the 2020 growing season.

It’s been fun the past couple weeks following the ALOT program page of the Illinois Farm Bureau on Facebook. ALOT is celebrating 40 years of leadership development classes this year. I participated as a member of the class of 2006 and our photo was featured a few days ago. I made wonderful friends and great memories while it opened doors for me to grow as an individual to get more

What insects are in cover crops?

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. – Have you ever wondered what beneficial or pest insects are in cover crops? Researchers in the University of Illinois Crops Sciences department along with Extension educators started a multi-year statewide study this spring identifying insects in cover crops.

Results of this year’s work will be discussed

by Dr. Nick Seiter at the seminar “Cover Crops, Insects and Nutrients” from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 13 at the Morgan County Extension office, 104 N. Westgate, Jacksonville.

In addition, Lowell Gentry, principal research scientist, will talk about the use of rye cover crops for reducing leachable nitrogen.

Two CE’s are available for Certified Crop Advisors.

Cost is $5. Register by Dec. 11 by visiting go.illinois.edu/cover.

involved in my community.

Involvement in the community on school boards, county boards, non-profits, 4-H, FFA and boards of ag businesses is essential to the strength of our rural communities.

I’m thankful my family has supported being involved in the community and programs to develop personally. I have had a lifelong role model in my dad, Keith, on dedication and commitment to a board of directors. This week, I’m especially proud of him as he is retiring from the Stephenson Service Co. Board of Directors.

I don’t recall a time in my life that he hasn’t been serving on the local FS board, attending monthly meetings along with other GROWMARK meetings.

He received his 25 years of service gold watch from Max Armstrong at the 75th anniversary annual meeting in 2005.

He took the battery of that watch dying as a sign it was time for him to retire and move on after 39 years on the board.

He has always had the same philosophy as a board member and readily passes that philosophy on to new employees and salesmen: “If you look out for the farmer, the farmer will look out for you.” Great advice for anyone in agriculture.

Congratulations, Dad. Thank you for being a great example to your family and others of what a leader should be.

As this is my final week to share insights for the 2019 growing season, I want to thank those that have stopped and mentioned that they have enjoyed the articles. I hope I have shared a nice cross-section of agriculture both from the field and ag related events in our region. It’s been fun sharing from Northern Illinois for the past three years. Stay safe out

there finishing harvest. There have been too many news stories lately of deaths in grain bins, field accidents, ag equipment versus non-ag vehicle accidents on the roadways. Nothing is too important to not take a few extra minutes to do things safely and to be extra cautious.

The marathon continues, but we will all cross that finish line.

Thank you for following along once again this year.

Here’s wising you a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

Kimberly Meier RIDOTT, ILL.

One for the books I hope everyone enjoyed reading my From the Fields report this year.

We’re trying to finish all our fieldwork before the rain. We finished hauling manure Saturday.

Cutting stalks and chiseling a few fields is all we have left. It will be close. Then we can put 2019 in the books and look forward to 2020.

This has definitely been a year for the record books.

Starting wet in the spring, then turning dry in the summer.

Then wet again in the fall. LP shortages in our area didn’t help with drying corn down.

Hopefully, the trade war with China can be resolved and we can get that market back. It would also be nice to get the ethanol situation resolved and reopen some ethanol plants and get corn demand back up.

Hope everyone had a great 2019. Happy Thanksgiving and have a merry Christmas.

Making memories with FFA

By Brodee McCormick

AGRINEWS PHOTOS/JEANNINE OTTO

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Christmas in Vinegar Hill is ringing in the season with a celebration and local shopping and vendor event that spans three Illinois towns – Mount Pulaski, Chestnut and Elkhart. Retired teacher Phyllis Beccue (right) organizes the event and has been involved with the annual Christmas celebration for three decades. Beccue and friend Dorothy Mason (left), along with another friend, Jo Richner, also operate Salt Creek Attic a vintage and crafts consignment shop in Mount Pulaski.

Christmas on Vinegar Hill Celebrating local business, history

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MOUNT PULASKI, Ill. — Years ago, when Mount Pulaski was one of the last “wet” towns in the days of Prohibition, train conductors would call out “next stop, Vinegar Hill,” to passengers who made the trip out to the Logan County community to purchase or consume alcohol.

Nowadays, they make the trek for wreaths and angels, cider and Christmas presents.

“They wanted to have everyone come to town, get all of their goodies, then they would leave, happy that they had spent the day in a small community, had enjoyed themselves and had good food and fun and they would go home happy,” said Phyllis Beccue.

That’s the theme of Christmas on Vinegar Hill, now in its 31st year. The event was scheduled to take place on Nov. 23 in locations throughout Mount Pulaski, Chestnut and Elkhart.

Beccue, a retired schoolteacher who now organizes Christmas on Vinegar Hill, described the original intent of the ladies who organized the first craft show, then held in Chestnut.

When the event outgrew Chestnut, they moved it to Mount Pulaski and Christmas on Vinegar Hill has been a popular way for people from all over the central Illinois area – from Peoria to Decatur, Springfield and Bloomington – to officially ring in the Christmas season.

For Beccue, one group of guests who return each year to do their Christmas shopping personifies the spirit of the festive event that combines Christmas shopping, local businesses, home crafters and artisans, food and fellowship.

“We have a group of ladies who come every year. They buy shirts and they wear their shirts the next year and they are just having the best time.

They tell me all about where they’ve been in town and what they’ve bought. They go to Lincoln and eat at a favorite restaurant there. Their husbands are deer hunting, so they make a big weekend of it. It’s wonderful hearing their stories and their laughter.

They just have the best time,” Beccue said.

Shoppers have plenty of local vendors and items from which to choose, from handmade leather goods to wood crafts and carvings, to vintage furniture and vintage furnishings, Christmas crafts and decor and homemade candy and fudge.

The flyer that is available at all the Christmas on Vinegar Hill locations lists the 22 locations and what each location has, from food to gifts. But the number of actual vendors is

July state officer meeting?

Check! State fair? Check! Farm Progress Show? Check! STAR conferences? Check! Chapter visits? Not quite there yet.

The major state officers have completed four out of six weeks of chapter visits. Week one was kicked off with Gage, Emma and I visiting Section 21, while Collin and Lane visited Section 13.

During the next three weeks, the majors split up individually. Gage visMcCormick ited Sections 24, 15 and 23; Lane spent time in Sections 11, 18 and 4; I stayed with Sections 17, 9 and 7; Collin was hosted in Sections 14, 20 and 6; and Emma worked with Sections 3, 10 and 12.

In just four weeks, the team visited 223 FFA chapters, stopped for snacks 54 times and traveled 12,047 miles. While these statistics are impressive, what’s even more incredible was having the privilege to meet and make memories with 5,259 agriculture education students.

The goal with chapter visits this year was to get out and meet students while also shining a light on all of the different perspectives in our lives, FFA and agriculture as a whole. The officers wanted our activity to relate directly to each and every person’s perspectives in the room.

At the start of the day, students participating in the visit created a paper airplane. Throughout the day, students were prompted with questions like “When you think of your favorite restaurant, what do you think of?” or “When you hear the word agriculture, what do you think of?”

Chapter visits would not be possible without all of the incredible section officers, dedicated agriculture teachers, driven students and incredible supporters.

The late Larry Wilham of rural Lincoln was a gifted woodworker who, along with his wife, Selma, owned the woodworking business called The Kindling Box. The Wilhams were vendors at Christmas on Vinegar Hill for almost 30 years. Larry Wilham died in February 2019. Some of his hand-carved Santa figures and others have become collector’s items, including these for sale at Salt Creek Attic in Mount Pulaski.

More shoppers are seeking unique and handmade items to give as Christmas gifts. Dorothy Mason, one of the entrepreneurs involved in the vintage and craft consignment shop Salt Creek Attic, also is a consigner there, presenting handmade Christmas-themed bags and textile necklaces. far greater than 22 and that is where the event has seen major growth over the years.

“It’s stayed the same with the number of locations. What has grown has been the addition of the two schools. The high school has only been involved about four years. They started with 15 vendors and are now up to around 50 this year. The grade school has been involved about 20 years. They started

with 20 to 25 vendors and they are up to 75 or more this year,” Beccue said.

The money that the schools raise during Christmas on Vinegar Hill through events like cookie walks and bake sales is used to fund school projects that range from new technology to carpeting the Learning Center in the grade school.

“The money they generate with their activities goes right

back into the schools,” she said.

For some of the vendors, like the town’s churches and Scout groups, Christmas on Vinegar Hill is an opportunity to raise funds.

“The churches will be serving meals and that’s a major fundraiser for them. The Boy Scouts sell pork chop sandwiches. In the past, everyone has sold out with the food so that is a big fundraiser for them,” Beccue said.

The Mount Pulaski Courthouse Foundation hosts a themed Christmas tree and wreath decorating event in the weeks prior to the event.

The American Legion Post 447 hosts over a dozen vendors, including a booth that Beccue and her sister, Marilyn Spurlock, have. She and two friends, Dorothy Mason and Jo Richner, started their vintage and craft consignment shop, Salt Creek Attic, after Beccue retired from teaching.

Beccue said shoppers come to shop locally and snap up the handmade items which are popular as Christmas gifts.

“The Legion really is a major location, so many of the vendors down there have handmade items,” she said.

While nobody has been able to count how many visitors Christmas on Vinegar Hill brings to town, Beccue said the event, with its combination of local shopping, handmade and unique gifts, food and a festive Christmas atmosphere gives the local businesses a boost.

“This is a major, major event for our community, as far as the economics of the Christmas shopping season for the whole community,” Beccue said.

In response to those prompts, members drew a small image on their paper airplane that represented their answer.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the paper airplanes looked different for every student. Much like agriculture today, diversity is a critical component of the National FFA Organization and of Illinois Association FFA. Recognizing each other’s difference in perspectives is what makes each member unique.

Once the keyword of the day is identified — perspectives — the visit shifts into determining core values. After each of the students defines one of their core values, the visit transitions to the Illinois FFA tradition of goal cards.

These small cards allow each of the students to set short-term, mid-term and long-term goals that they want to achieve. These cards can be conveniently placed in a wallet, pencil pouch or FFA jacket because it’s essential to look back on your goals and determine what still needs to be accomplished.

Chapter visits would not be possible without all of the incredible section officers, dedicated agriculture teachers, driven students and incredible supporters. 2019 chapter visits are possible because of the support from Compeer Financial.

Through the incredible support of Compeer, the state officer team can connect with members around the state, engaging them in conversations that focus on the importance of diverse perspectives.

So far, more than 5,200 students have set more than 15,700 goals. These meaningful experiences build the skills of these young leaders so they can better serve our state, nation and world.

If the officers haven’t visited your section yet, don’t worry.

After a few weeks off for time in the office and National FFA Convention, the five majors will be back on the road for chapter visits in November.

We have had so much fun so far and cannot wait to see the rest of you all soon!

Brodee McCormick is the Illinois Association FFA state reporter.

Winter Getaway Special events at ALPLM

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum hosts numerous programs throughout the winter months.

“One of the ongoing programs is ‘Tales from the Vault’ in that we bring out items from our collection and let people get an up-close look at rare books or artifacts from the past.

That’s really fun to see something that Abraham Lincoln touched or that a soldier wrote in his diary,” said Chris Wills, ALPLM communications director.

“Then we have the Illinois History Forum where experts come in a talk about a book on a particular subject. One example is about the Underground Railroad and the antislavery movement in Illinois and how that worked.

“Occasionally, we have a presentation on some element of Illinois history.

“There are programs throughout the winter. There are a lot of daytime things where people can come down and tour the museum, but also take 45 minutes or an hour at lunchtime and hear from some of our top experts.”

They were shipped to Springfield, Illinois, and reassembled as one cabin in the museum.

Experience Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum comes to life

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — There’s rarely a day goes by in Illinois that residents and visitors don’t see some reference to President Abraham Lincoln.

It could be a street name, a city, a historic site, a school name, a portrait on a classroom or library wall, a site that’s part of the 43-county Lincoln National Heritage Area, or just on a license plate.

The 16th president’s shadow looms large in the Land of Lincoln, and rightly so.

To get a well-rounded look at one the nation’s greatest presidents, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is an ideal visiting point for the entire family to learn more about Lincoln, the man.

Opened in 2005, the museum portion occupies an entire city block with over 50,000 square feet devoted to state-of-the-art, full-immersion exhibits, special effects theaters and displays of original artifacts. It is touted as the first “experience museum” of its kind.

Instead of the traditional museum design of static exhibits with flat images and objects in glass boxes, the museum employs 21st century technology to bring the 19th century to life. At any given time, the museum displays about 120 Lincoln-related items.

The library portion is in the adjacent 98,000 -square-foot building that’s also home of the Illinois State Historical Library and its world-renown Henry Horner Lincoln Collection. It houses 12 million books, documents and artifacts, 52,000 of which are artifacts from the Lincoln Collection, the world’s largest.

This collection includes, among other artifacts, an original copy of the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th amendment outlawing slavery, the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s presidential briefcase, all of which had been stored in a vault for more than 100 years.

These, as well as other items, are part of a rotating display at the museum.

Non-Lincoln-related items in the library include original ma-

Visitors to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum are greeted by the Lincoln family in front of the White House as it would have appeared in 1861. terial from Illinois history from the 1700s through the 1900s, pertaining to governors, statesmen, the Civil War, famous historical figures and common people.

The millions of items in the collection include, for example, 150 original copies of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” published in 1857 and the earliest newspaper published in Illinois — 1814, before Illinois was a state. The library also is one of the top resources for genealogical research.

The library is largely utilized for researching Lincoln, local history and genealogy.

“I think the most important thing for people to realize about the library is that it’s 52,000 or so Lincoln items and 12 million other items about other parts of Illinois history,” said Chris Wills, ALPLM communications director.

“This began as the Illinois State Historical Library covering all elements of Illinois history, so it still has huge, huge resources for people from newspapers published all over the state in all eras of Illinois history to rare books to maps to family tree information, it has a lot there for someone who wants to come in and talk to our librarians for help.”

Then there’s the amazing museum.

The displays following Lin-

coln’s journey from his childhood log cabin home, his life in New Salem to Springfield, the 1860 campaign and his emotional farewell speech leaving Springfield for what would be the last time.

The journey continues with Lincoln’s arrival in Washington, D.C., and continues through the Civil War, family loss, political victories and his assassination and funeral.

The museum also features two theaters: “Ghosts of the Library — Holavision Theatre” and “The Union Theatre.”

The Illinois Gallery, which includes rotating exhibits, currently features “In This Great Struggle: The Greatest Generation Remembers World War II.” The exhibit includes audio and video of people telling their own stories from the war.

Landing at Normandy, surviving Pearl Harbor, working at an aircraft factory, discovering Nazi death camps are among the stories told firsthand.

It also includes World War II artifacts like Gen. Eisenhower’s helmet, a WWII motorcycle and forged papers given to a downed pilot by the French Resistance.

The Greatest Generation exhibit runs through Jan. 12. A new exhibit opens in late-winter, early-spring.

GLOBAL APPEAL Wills said the museum draws visitors from not only the U.S. but also from around the world.

“Any given day you might come here and meet somebody from Japan or China or Germany or other countries. We get a lot of visitors from Europe who are following Route 66.

They know Route 66 and they know Abraham Lincoln so when they’re passing through Springfield they make sure to stop,” Wills said.

The museum succeeds in offering something for all ages.

“This place works for all levels. When you tour there’s stuff to captivate small children, there’s detailed stuff for adults, there’s visual things for people who enjoy the visual aspect, there’s also material to read if that’s the way you absorb information. There are shows; there are presentations that present his life in a dramatic way. So, we really try hard to make sure that we offer something for everybody who comes to visit,” Wills said.

DETERMINATION Wills, who has been on the ALPLM staff for about seven years, was asked if there was anything he learned about Lincoln that he didn’t know before joining the staff.

“One of the things that didn’t really sink in until I was here and learning more about his life was the fact that he showed up in New Salem without any education, without any friends to speak of, and within a year or so was running for the state legislature. He lost that first race but then two years later he ran again and won,” Wills said.

“This is a man who almost immediately, once he got his feet planted someplace, started trying to move up and tries to follow his ambition and his talents. So, I think that’s really impressive. I just think if you or I went to some little town, we’d concentrate just on making a living,” he said. “But Abraham Lincoln just went right to it and I think that shows a lot about his determination to rise.”

Pet safety tips for the holidays

CHOW LINE

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Diet plays a significant role in managing atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can cause dizziness, chest pain and shortness of breath.

By Ashley Langreck

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — The holiday season is filled with delicious food, festive decorations and gatherings of family and friends.

However, holiday festivities can quickly turn into dangerous situations for family pets if steps aren’t properly taken ahead of time to ensure their safety.

Melissa Justice, a veterinarian with the Indiana State Board of Animal Heath, provided tips for pet owners to remember with the holiday season right around the corner: n Be cautious of new items in an animal’s environment.

Justice said pet owners have to realize that just like people, pets are curious and inquisitive about things in their environment, especially when they are new. She said that new items in a pet’s everyday environment, such as decorations, will be something they want to play with and chew on, which could cause intestinal damage. If your dog or cat is paying too close attention to decorations, move the objects if necessary. n Don’t feed pets table food.

Justice said that if people want to give their pets a holiday treat, they can go to a store that sells specialty treats for pets. n Be aware of ornament placement on Christmas trees.

Justice said that often people don’t think about the fact that cats will want to try and climb a Christmas tree, just like trees outside. Due to this, it’s important to put glass ornaments toward the top, so they have less chance of being knocked off and shattered. Also, Justice said pet owners should place salt dough ornaments toward the top, as well.

SENIOR NEWS LINE

Discounts for seniors

By Matilda Charles

For so many of us, finances can be tough, leaving us few options for the things that make our lives more meaningful.

That’s where senior discounts can help.

I know… we don’t like to do that. But once we get used to the idea of asking, it gets easier and leaves money in our pockets. And, remember, when you ask if there is a senior discount available, you won’t be the first to ask that question.

Here are a few ideas: n If an annual membership at the local museum is $299 and you can purchase a senior membership for $59, you get the same benefits as those who pay the full price. Sign up for its newsletters and read them for a few months to help decide if it’s worth it to you to see exhibits and hear speakers. n If you discover that your favorite restaurant gives senior discounts, perhaps you can increase your dinners out from once to twice a month, especially if added to other new discounts you now ask for. n Check for senior discounts at the local YMCA. Sometimes during membership drives, two friends can sign up for the price of one, or a spouse can be added for only a few dollars. Or there’s a discount if you bring in a few canned goods for the food pantry, especially during the holidays. n Call the nearest college.

Chances are it offers either discounted or free classes to seniors. Some places even have what they call Senior College, with courses geared to what interests us. Look for brownbag lunch lectures as well as full courses.

Occasional steak meal not harmful PROVIDED PHOTO

For many families, it’s a time-honored tradition to get crafty with leftovers in the days following a big holiday meal, but leftovers don’t last forever.

How long is too long for holiday leftovers?

I typically make a large turkey — 22 pounds — and plenty of trimmings because my family loves Thanksgiving leftovers. How many days after the holiday is the food safe to eat?

Wow, it sounds like your family really loves turkey, as do I! Many people often wonder how long it is safe to eat leftovers, not just during the holidays, but at any other time, as well. The recommended refrigerated storage time for different foods can vary by food type, but in general, the refrigerated storage time is quite short, said Sanja Ilic, Ohio State University Extension food safety specialist.

For instance, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends storing cooked turkey no longer than three to four days. These short-but-safe limits will also keep refrigerated foods from spoiling.

Many consumers, however, do not practice safe leftover storage. In a recent study by the USDA, one-third of participants said they’d eat leftovers longer than four days after cooking.

This is a problem because after four days of refrigeration, the risk of foodborne illness causing bacteria growing on those leftovers increases, Ilic said.

“And because pathogen bacteria typically doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of food, you can’t tell whether leftovers are safe to eat,” she said.

And, if you choose to store the leftover turkey in the freezer, you can feast on that turkey, well, forever. While the taste and texture of the frozen meat will decline after about four months, turkey that is correctly prepped for frozen

storage is safe to eat indefinitely, says the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the USDA. The federal agency recommends that you remove the turkey from the bone, slice it into smaller pieces, and store it in small containers if you plan to eat it within four days.

If you want to store the turkey longer, you should pack it into freezer bags or other airtight containers and place it in the freezer.

For the other leftover foods, you should cover and wrap them in airtight packaging, or seal them in storage containers for storage in the refrigerator.

This helps to keep bacteria out, retain moisture, and prevent leftovers from picking up odors from other food in the refrigerator, the USDA says.

Taking care to store leftovers correctly can help you avoid getting a bad case of foodborne illness.

“Turkey can only be at room temperature for two hours. After that, it should be refrigerated,” Ilic said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Clostridium perfringens is one of the bacteria that can grow in cooked foods that are left at room temperature for too long after cooking. It also produces toxins that cannot be inactivated by reheating the foods.

In fact, C. perfringens is the second most common bacteria that causes foodborne infections. As many as one million individuals are affected by C. perfringens each year, according to the CDC. Perfringens food poisoning symptoms include severe abdominal cramps and pain, di-

arrhea, and flatulence within six to 24 hours after eating foods that contain high numbers of bacterial cells.

Another interesting fact: C. perfringens outbreaks occur most often in November and December, with many of the outbreaks linked to turkey and roast beef, according to the CDC. Here are some other tips from the USDA regarding leftovers: n Keep leftovers in a cooler with ice or frozen gel packs if the food is traveling home with a guest who lives more than two hours away. n Store stuffing separately from leftover turkey. Remove the stuffing from the turkey and refrigerate the stuffing and the meat separately. n When reheating cooked foods, be sure to use a food thermometer to make sure they have been heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

Lastly, while you think of clever ways to serve up those leftovers — turkey pot pie, anyone? — remember to keep food safety in mind so that you, your family and any guests who want to feast on Nanna’s special-recipe sweet potato casserole or other traditional holiday favorites, can do so safely.

Thanksgiving dinner may be over, but getting creative with the Thanksgiving leftovers has just begun.

Work magic with leftover turkey Trying to figure out how to use all of those Thanksgiving dinner leftovers in meals?

Here are some suggestions: n Make turkey chili in your slow cooker. Toss some chopped turkey meat, chili beans, tomato paste, chili powder and any leftover veggies into the slow cooker.

Refrigerate overnight and let the chili simmer on low until ready. n If plain turkey sandwiches from the fridge leave you cold, how about one that’s barbecued? Sauté some onions in a little butter, stir in cooked turkey and barbecue sauce until

heated through, add pepper and throw it all on a split hard roll. n Another sandwich variation: Mix together chopped olives, celery, onions, roasted peppers, capers, oregano, pepper or any other vegetables or herbs that call out to you. Mix in oil and vinegar.

Split a round Italian bread loaf, pulling out some of the insides, and brush both sides with more oil and vinegar.

Place turkey slices on the bottom half of the bread, then spoon the olive mixture over the turkey. Arrange provolone or Swiss cheese slices on top, then press the top bread half

over it all. Cut the sandwich into wedges. n Try a turkey stir-fry using soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and vegetables. n Plenty of pasta dishes lend themselves to diced white turkey meat. n A turkey sauté is quick, easy and delectable. Just heat butter and oil in a skillet until hot.

Add mushrooms, onions or peppers, and cook. Then add minced garlic, a little broth and turkey. © 2019 Hearst Communications, Inc. All rights reserved.

I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation a year ago. A week after that, I had an MRI that showed I’d had a ministroke and probably several others in the past. I love ribeye steak, and eat it maybe two or three times a year. Is this safe?

Atrial fibrillation is a rhythm problem of the heart. The natural rhythm is lost, so the heartbeat becomes irregular. Because of the lack of normal movement in the heart, the blood can pool and form clots in the left atrium; these clots can travel downstream to lodge in a blood vessel.

Clots can cut off the blood supply to the area where they lodge. It’s most critical when it happens in the brain, since if brain cells die, function is lost.

A stroke is just a focal area of cell death in the brain. The size and location of the area in the brain where cell death occurs determines how significant the stroke is. Strokes can range from unnoticeable to devastating to fatal.

Most people with atrial fibrillation take medication to reduce the risk of stroke. Eating poorly can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well, but most commonly this happens via a different mechanism.

High amounts of saturated fat — such as in ribeye steak, which is fattier than many cuts of beef — increase the risk of damage to blood vessels through buildup of cholesterol plaques.

These plaques cut off blood supply, and this causes a heart attack if the plaques are lodged in the arteries of the heart, a stroke if in the brain and various problems if in other parts of the body.

In people who have a history of stroke, it’s particularly important to take steps to reduce further risk. That means a discussion with your doctor about whether you are on the best treatment for atrial fibrillation and whether you have evidence of cholesterol plaques.

Even if you don’t have any evidence of plaques, a healthy diet of mostly plants, with whole grains, nuts and seeds, some fatty fish if you enjoy that and sparse amounts of meats reduces many health risks.

However, two or three steaks a year is not going to cause harm.

The best data available shows that people who have 100 grams — just over 3 ounces — of red meat a week are at the lowest risk of developing blood vessel problems. It’s not clear that zero is better than that small amount.

In any event, I am a firm believer that enjoying life is the goal. If having a steak a few times a year is truly enjoyable, the risk is small, and you should enjoy those meals without guilt.

I have severe lower back pain and can’t stand up straight or walk very well. I saw a back specialist, and he took X-rays and reviewed an MRI. He informed me nothing could be done for me because I have diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. I would like to know what this is and why nothing can be done for me.

DISH is essentially a disease of bone spurs. The ligaments and their attachments to bone themselves become calcified and bonelike. The cause is unknown.

Symptoms are commonly back pain — more often, middle or upper back, not the lower back pain you have — but pain also may occur in the neck.

Problems with walking are not common, but can happen if a nerve is being compressed.

Surgery is not a usual treatment for DISH. It is occasionally necessary if the bone spurs press on nerves or if the bone spurs are so large that they interfere with eating.

That doesn’t mean nothing can be done for you. Physical therapy may be very beneficial; judicious pain medication and regular gentle exercise are the other effective treatments. © 2019 North America Synd., Inc.

PROCEDURE

Thanksgiving Stuffed Potato Balls You can cut this recipe in half, if desired, but these savory snacks are seldom leftover.

INGREDIENTS 4 cups stuffing, broken up if chunky 1 1/2 cups turkey, finely chopped 1 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish 1/2 cup finely minced vegetables (leftover broccoli, carrots, mixed veggies, Brussels sprouts and so forth) 8 cups cold mash potatoes 2 cups flour 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 4 cups panko crumbs, for coating 2 tablespoons poultry- or Italian seasoning 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper 3 cups of gravy, for dipping, or use bottled ranch dressing or ketchup, if preferred

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine stuffing, turkey, Parmesan cheese and minced vegetables. Mix until wellblended. Using your hands, form 1 1/2-inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.

Continue forming remaining balls. Place balls on baking sheet, transfer to the freezer and let set for 30 minutes.

Set up an assembly line of four bowls lined in a row. Fill the first bowl with mashed potatoes, the second with flour, the third with the lightly beaten egg and the fourth with panko crumbs.

Season the flour, beaten egg and panko breadcrumbs with a sprinkle of the poultry or Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes or ground cayenne pepper.

Remove stuffing balls from freezer; wrap ball with about 4 tablespoons of mashed potatoes. Make sure you’re working with cold mashed potatoes for easy handling.

Gently roll ball in flour and then transfer it to egg bowl. Using your hands or a fork, roll the ball around to cover it in egg.

Finally dip and cover the ball in panko crumbs. Place ball on parchment-lined baking sheet and continue forming the remaining balls.

days. Other cooked dishes can be stored up to four days.

Frozen leftovers should be labeled, dated and stored at zero degrees or below and used within three to four months.

Turkey in gravy or broth, or other cooked turkey dishes can be frozen for four to six months.

Stuffing and gravy can keep up to one month in the freezer. When you reheat the turkey, stuffing or gravy, make sure it reaches a temperature of at least 165 degrees. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

New SUVs and electric vehicles highlight L.A. Auto Show

By Tom Krisher AP AUTO WRITER

LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New electric vehicles, several new small SUVs, a redesigned compact car, a plug-in version of Toyotaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top-selling vehicle and a futuristic electric station wagon concept car from Volkswagen are among the new models on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Toyota is displaying a rechargeable hybrid version of the RAV4 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the top-selling vehicle in the United States thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a pickup truck â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while Ford is rolling out an all-new electric SUV that carries the Mustang performance car brand name.

There also is a redesigned compact Sentra from Nissan.

NISSAN SENTRA Nissan is hoping a sleek re-

design of the Sentra compact sedan will pull in more buyers in a struggling segment of the U.S. market.

The 2020 Sentra, which goes on sale in late January, loses the old versionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upright econobox look. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built on new underpinnings that lower it two inches and make it two inches wider than the outgoing model.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a coupe look that mimics the design of newer Nissan

models like the Altima and Maxima. The new version gets a new 149 horsepower, 2-liter four-cylinder engine thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20% more powerful than the current model, yet Nissan says it will oďŹ&#x20AC;er better gas mileage.

It also gets a new rear suspension and steering system to improve handling. Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entry-level car, it comes standard with six safety systems including automatic emergency

braking and pedestrian detection. Price and gas mileage were not announced.

VOLKSWAGEN ID. SPACE VIZZION CONCEPT Volkswagen is giving us a glimpse into the car of the future with a low-slung electric station wagon called the ID. Space Vizzion Concept.

Tesla unveils wedge-shaped ‘Cybertruck’

By Rachel Lerman and Cathy Bussewitz AP WRITERS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The much-hyped unveiling of Tesla’s electric pickup truck went off script Nov. 21 when supposedly unbreakable window glass splintered twice when hit with a large metal ball.

The failed stunt, which ranks high on the list of embarrassing auto industry rollouts, came just after CEO Elon Musk bragged about the strength of “Tesla Armor Glass” on the wedge-shaped “Cybertruck.”

On a Los Angeles-area stage with Musk, Tesla design chief Franz von Holzhausen hurled a softball-sized metal ball at the driver’s side window to demonstrate the strength of the glass, which Musk called “Transparent Metal Glass.”

It shattered.

“Oh my ... God,” Musk said, uttering an expletive.

“Maybe that was a little too hard.”

They tried it a second time on the left passenger window, which spider-cracked again.

Musk recovered with a one-liner: “At least it didn’t go through. That’s a plus side.”

The failure overshadowed the truck’s slick unveiling, with some analysts panning its looks.

The truck, a stainless-steel covered triangle, resembles the much derided Pontiac Aztek SUV sold

by General Motors in the early 2000s.

Investors apparently didn’t like the stunts or the truck’s futuristic design, which is aimed at getting a foothold in the most profitable part of the U.S. auto market. Tesla shares fell almost 6% in midday trading Nov. 22.

“Tesla’s Cybertruck reveal will likely disappoint current pickup truck owners, and we see the vehicle remaining a niche and not a mainstream product,” Cowen Investment Research analyst Jeffrey Osborne wrote in a note to investors.

“While we are pleased to see Tesla enter the most profitable segment of the North American passenger car market, we do not see this vehicle in its current form being a success.”

Over the years, such stunts have been common at highly rehearsed auto industry unveils. But there have been some embarrassing mishaps.

At Detroit’s auto show earlier this year, an Infiniti concept electric SUV missed its introduction when it wouldn’t start and the company couldn’t move it onto the stage.

Perhaps the most famous miscue came in Detroit in 2008 when Chrysler

FORD MUSTANG MACH E Ford will display its first all-electric SUV, marking the start of an avalanche of battery-powered vehicles coming from mainstream and luxury automakers during the next two years that industry analysts say will boost electric vehicle sales.

Analysts expect the number of electric vehicles for sale in the United States to grow from 16 currently to as many as 80 by 2022. They say the

“You can rehearse it 100 times, and the 101st is the time you do it before the public and it fails,” said Bud Liebler, who was head of marketing and communications at Chrysler from 1980 through 2001.

He was in charge when Chrysler became famous for auto-show stunts, including driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee up the entry steps and through the front windows of Detroit’s convention cen-

ter in the 1990s.

Liebler said he considers the Tesla event a “fiasco,” but said Musk did the only thing he could when the glass broke. He joked about it and continued on with the show.

“It’s got to be an embarrassment,” Liebler said.

With the Cybertruck, Tesla was aiming for Detroit’s profit machine, the full-sized pickup.

The truck came onstage with lasers and flames, and a demonstration of its stainless steel skin developed by Musk’s SpaceX rocket company went well.

Von Holzhausen swung a sledge hammer at the driver’s side door, and it

bounced away harmlessly without any damage.

Musk said the Cybertruck will start at $39,900 but a tri-motor, long-range version will have a base price of $69,900. It will have a battery range of between 250 miles and more than 500 miles and will be able to tow up to 14,000 pounds.

Tesla says the truck can go from zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

T he electric pickup truck will be in production in 2021, Musk said.

With the truck, Tesla is gunning for buyers with fierce brand loyalty.

Many pickup truck buyers stick with the same brand for life, choosing a truck based on what their mom or dad drove or what they decided was the toughest model, said Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business.

“T hey’re ver y much creatures of habit,” Gordon said. Getting a loyal Ford F-150 buyer to consider switching to another brand such as a Chevy Silverado, “it’s like asking him to leave his family,” he said.

Tesla’s pickup is more likely to appeal to weekend warriors who want an electric vehicle that can handle some outdoor adventure. And it could end up cutting into Tesla’s electric vehicle sedan sales

The 2021 RAV4 Prime will be able to go 39 miles on battery power alone before the gas-electric hybrid propulsion system kicks in. It will get the equivalent of 90 miles per gallon of gasoline, according to Toyota. Yet the 302-horsepower system will take the car from zero to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds — a full two seconds faster than the current RAV4 Hybrid.

The SUV, which is the top-selling vehicle in the United States that isn’t a pickup truck, has a tuned-up version of the RAV4 Hybrid’s 176 hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder gas engine powering the front wheels.

A separate rearmounted electric motor powers the rear wheels when needed. Toyota says

the battery is mounted under the floor, giving the SUV a lower center of

gravity and improving its handling.

instead of winning over traditional pickup truck drivers.

“The needs-based truck buyer, the haulers, the towers at the worksites of the world, that’s going to be a much tougher sell,” said Akshay Anand, executive analyst at Kelley Blue Book.

The truck will help Musk enter a new market, but it’s not likely to make a bunch of money for the company.

Instead, Tesla will rely on its mainstream Model 3 sedan and the upcoming Model Y small SUV due to go on sale in early 2021.

Musk stands to face competition when his truck hits the market.

Ford, which has long dominated the pickup truck landscape, plans to launch an all-electric F-150 pickup. General Motors CEO Mary Barra said its battery-electric pickup will come out by the fall of 2021.

Rivian, a startup based near Detroit, plans to begin production in the second half of 2020 on an electric pickup that starts at $69,000 and has a battery range of 400-plus miles.

Tesla has struggled to meet delivery targets for its sedans, and some fear the new vehicle will shift the company’s attention away from the goal of more consistently meeting its targets.

Livestock MY TURN

Smear campaigns impact beef producers

By Colin Woodall

The activist-funded Organization for Competitive Markets has again resorted to halftruths and smear tactics to pit beef producers against one another.

It’s clear that their allies at the Humane Society of the United States have taught the staff some new tricks to help tear the beef industry apart from the inside.

It should come as no surprise that they’ve chosen a time when the industry is struggling with market-related challenges and producer unrest to fire their latest shot.

OCM/HSUS would like you to think our industry is weak when, in fact, beef demand is strong and has been climbing for many years both in the United States and overseas. Much of that strength is a result of programs funded by the Beef Checkoff.

The folks at HSUS know and understand this, and because they oppose the consumption of animals, they have partnered with OCM to organize and fund this ongoing smear campaign.

Discrediting the Beef Checkoff and the work being done by contracting organizations allows OCM, HSUS and their bedfellows at R-CALF to build their own membership ranks. These organizations also depend on members, and they’re loudest when conditions are at their worst.

By accepting the help of activists — OCM

American Red program offers a unique blend COMMERCE CI T Y, Colo. — The Red Angus Association of America and Santa Ger tr udis Breeders International are collaborating to provide the beef industry with a unique blend of maternal traits, adaptability, growth and marbling — all packaged with a heat-tolerant, red hide — into a new program for the commercial beef producer called American Red. The offspring of this crossbreeding program will be well suited for commercial producers who are seeking quality replacement females and steers that fit in the value-added segment of the beef industry.

“This innovative program has huge potential to impact the southern portion of the U.S. beef business, as well as heat-challenged areas where cattle are produced around the globe,” said Tom Brink, RAAA CEO. En rol l ment i n t he program will begin in February 2020.

has widely acknowledged its close ties with HSUS and it’s well known that R-CALF is working closely with attorneys at Public Justice, a group that works closely with Woodall PETA and organizations such as the Animal Legal Defense Fund to attack and divide the beef industry — these groups are able to capitalize on the unrest in our industry and divide beef producers.

Ultimately, twin campaigns by OCM/HSUS and R-CALF will tear the industry apart and cause irreparable harm unless producers speak up.

That’s the point of my response. I’ve had enough, and it’s time to set the record straight.

Let’s begin with the OCM/HSUS claims about funding for NCBA’s Beef Checkoff authorization requests. About the only information that’s correct is the dollar figure.

NCBA was awarded $27.3 million in contracts for work related to promotion, research, consumer information and industry information. NCBA was one of eight contractors who received funding for proposals brought forward for consideration.

The groups which had proposals funded include: Q National Cattlemen’s Beef Association — five proposals for $27,383,347.

Q U.S. Meat Export Federation, a subcontractor to NCBA — one

proposal for $8,279,846.

Q North American Meat Institute — four proposals for $1,953,345.

Q Cattlemen’s Beef Board — one proposal for $1,645,993.

Q American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture — one proposal for $698,300.

Q Meat Import Council of America — one proposal for $498,786.

Q United States Cattlemen’s Association — one proposal for $359,126.

Q National Livestock Producers Association — one proposal for $99,757.

It’s important to note that United States Cattlemen’s Association is a new contractor to the process and is an outstanding example of the fact that many industry organizations can bring forward proposals and receive funding for work that falls within the scope of the Beef Promotion and Research Act of 1985.

NCBA’s critics would like you to believe that the association has the ability, or even the desire, to control the Beef Checkoff and its funding mechanism.

Contrary to the headline of the OCM/HSUS release, NCBA did not “grant” itself any funding.

NCBA submitted authorization requests into the same competitive process to which each of the eight contractors were subjected.

The meeting will include guest speakers from the state Department of Agriculture, FFA and 4-H. It also will feature the announcement of the organization’s scholarship winners, special recognition to those dedicated to the industry, and a lunch.

The association represents purebred livestock breeds in Illinois, and its mission is to stimulate and encourage better breeding livestock in Illinois and foster a social interest among breeders and beef, diary, equine, sheep, goat and llama breed groups.

In addition, the association supports education and programs for Illinois students interested in purebred livestock, and awards annual educational scholarships.

We’ve had some big wins to benefit our members this year, and we’re proud of that work. We had two victories in September alone, including the announcement of a trade agreement with Japan that lowers tariffs on U.S. beef and a rollback of Waters of the United States regulations that would have cost producers dearly. Our members feel that kind of work is worth the investment.

Ultimately, this division in the industry will drive beef producers to a breaking point, serving no one but our adversaries. It’s discouraging that the animal rights activists have partnered with a small band of vocal producers to give them a foothold in the industry.

If we stand silently and allow the attacks and smears to continue, the only winners will be the activists who pit cattlemen and cattlewomen against each other in the first place.

Silage genetics: Key traits for corn hybrids

By Martha Blum AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

JOHNSTON, Iowa — The key traits for corn silage hybrids are agronomic traits, dry matter yield and starch content.

“I think about corn silage as a TMR plant — you have high moisture corn attached to highly digestible grass,” said Bill Mahanna, Pioneer global nutritional sciences manager.

In corn silage, about 65% of the energy comes from grain, another 10% from the cell contents and 25% comes from the cell wall, Mahanna said during a webinar sponsored by Pioneer.

“The increase in starch as the plant is maturing is responsible for most of the increase in nutritional value over the growth of that corn plant,” he said.

The fiber influences energy density and also has a big impact on dry matter intake.

“How much undigestible NDF is present in the plant really impacts rumen health, including mat development and stimulation of cud chewing,” Mahanna said.

A good silage hybrid starts as a good grain hybrid, Mahanna said, because you can’t overcome

the lack of starch with small increases in fiber digestibility.

“But not every grain hybr id makes a good silage hybrid because it may be too short and not deliver the bio- Mahanna mass yields we want,” he said.

“For silage genetics, the most important thing we have to select on is agronomic traits,” he said.

There are numerous traits livestock producers can use such as heat units to silk, maturity, stress emergence, drought tolerance, or disease resistance.

“Plant height is something to look at because dry matter yield is really influenced by plant height at the ear and grain content,” Mahanna said.

Wisconsin researchers that evaluated corn hybrids from 1995 to 2007 found that the No. 1 factor the drives corn silage yields is harvest timing, followed by hybrid genetics and planting date.

“Grain is typically half of the yield, so if you’re harvesting an immature kernel, you’re sacrificing energy and tonnage,” Mahanna said. “Every two days a healthy plant stays

in the field, it can lay down 1% more starch in one ton of corn silage.”

Once corn reaches black layer, Mahanna said, no more starch will be laid down in that kernel.

Since there is little genetic variation for fiber digestibility between non-BMR hybrids, he said, it is not important to focus on fiber digestibility when selecting silage genetics.

The growing environment during the vegetative stage of the corn plant drives fiber digestibility.

“We find if we have drier than normal conditions during the vegetative growth of the plant, the plant will tend to be shorter but will generally have higher fiber digestibility,” Mahanna said.

“If we have wetter than

normal conditions during the vegetative growth of the plant, we’ll have taller plants, which is good for biomass yield, but it will have lower fiber digestibility.”

The “ideal” growing conditions for corn silage, Mahanna said, is moderately dry during the vegetative stage and plenty of water during the reproductive stage.

“Fiber digestibility does not change due to the ensiling process,” he said.

“Whatever the fiber digestibility was when you harvested that corn plant is what it will be forever; however, starch digestibility does change over time in fermented feed.”

The higher fiber digestibility of BMR hybrids impacts the amount of forage in rations.

“The amount of forage cows can eat per day will be impacted by fiber digestibility because BMR fiber is more fragile and exits

“There’s a potential for more agronomic risk with standability, a need for fungicides and slightly reduced yields of 5% to 10% of standard hybrids,” he said.

Measuring Nutrien expands digital platform footprints

By Tom C. Doran

Food companies turning to sustainability tracking service

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Food companies are answering customer demands by looking for better ways to collect, analyze and disseminate information on how food is produced, particularly in terms of sustainability.

Nutrien Ag Solutions is working with food companies that have made commitments to proving the environmental impacts of their supply chain, and because a large portion of their environmental footprint is generated by the agricultural portion of the supply chain, they want agricultural data to better understand their current footprint.

The ultimate goal is to show progress towards sustainability goals and that data starts at the farm and field level.

“Companies look to producers to provide that farm level data and helps them back up their claim to things like land use, soil carbon, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, for example,” said Dave Stanko, Nutrien Ag Solutions’ sustainable agriculture senior director.

“Sustainability is a big issue and what we’re trying to do from a big-picture standpoint is help connect growers to downstream and help them deliver results that the supply chain is asking for.

“That starts with measurements, so we have some tools that allow us to take field level data and then analyze that from a sustainability perspective so that we can footprint the agricultural outputs for that grower that are then inputs for the supply chain.

“Secondly, we’re working on input solutions that help us target better environmental outcomes for growers by really using inputs that are focused on things like nitrogen use efficiency and water use efficiency. We’re doing that in partnership with some of the downstream companies that we’ve been doing business with for years.”

MEASURABLE IMPACTS Stanko previously served as president of Agrible until Nutrien Ag Solutions acquired the digital farming startup in 2018. As part of the acquisition, Agrible’s sustainability tracking service is now part of the Nutrien offerings.

Stanko believes that because environmental impacts are measurable, improving sustainability in agriculture means using data to support grower decisions that positively impacts both the environment and farm economics.

In addition, credible data will be the first line of defense for growers under increasing scrutiny from environmental, regulatory and consumer groups.

To address questions

about greenhouse gas emissions, soil health, carbon sequestration and nutrient run-off, growers can use sustainability analytics to show how agricultural practices can drive positive environmental outcomes.

“Agrible had established a bit of a niche in doing sustainability analytics for the supply chain. So, in many ways we’ve been doing this work for years.

Now, we have the ability to start to move the needle on some of these metrics.

For some of our customers, we’ve been measuring for two, three, four years.

Now, we have the ability to see what we can do through an input strategy to help them achieve some sustainability goals they’ve set,” Stanko said.

Data collection may include seed type, planting date, planting population, along with types and dates of fertilizer and crop protection applications, harvest data, tillage practices and any other conservation practices that growers may already have in place.

“You kind of think of it holistically from planting to harvest and everything in between that helps the supply chain understand the sustainability footprint of that grower’s operation,” Stanko said.

“There are several established protocols that we use. Field-to-market has a calculator that we utilize in some of the sustainability analytics. Cool Farm Alliance has one, as well, and there are other ongoing efforts in how do we use field level data in order to calculate things like greenhouse gases per bushel. We use all of those available calculators.”

DOWNSTREAM SIGNUPS Generally signups for the program begin with a downstream company seeking to understand the environmental footprint of ag inputs for that specific product.

“We start with measurement. In many areas, because we are Nutrien and we have locations just about everywhere, we’re able to engage our field and help them problem solve for some of the sustainability metrics that somebody like Pepsi is looking for.

But a lot of times it starts with the downstream,” Stanko said.

“One of the other things that we’ve found in growing through this process and becoming part of Nutrien is that there are pockets of this innovation that are already taking place and they’re just about everywhere. So, a big part of our job right now is to unearth some of these that are taking place independent of a downstream partnership.”

DECATUR, Ill. — The digital arm of Nutrien Ag Solutions continues to expand its platform offerings to serve farmers.

The Farm Planning Solution tool is designed to help farmers manage all inputs on the farm on a field-by-field basis and product-by-product basis.

This allows the user to build a full-season crop plan with consideration for yield and profitability. “ T he dig it a l Fa r m Planning Solution tool allows the grower to plan their inputs for a whole year. We think it’s going to be most important right after harvest as the grower looks ahead to the coming year and about all of the decisions that they need to make, whether that’s fertility or seed or crop protection, they’ll work with the Nutrien Ag Solutions crop consultant,” said Sol Goldfarb, Nutrien Ag Solutions vice president of digital.

“Together, they’ll build a field-by-field plan of all

the inputs that they need, then they can refer back to that plan throughout the growing season and if changes happen like the late spring that we had, they can make adjust- Goldfarb ments to their plan and really stay on top of their farming operation throughout the whole year.

“I’m relatively new to agriculture, and one of my observations is there is tons of data out there, lots of information, it’s not particularly usable. So, our goal is to take data and information and turn it into things that a grower can do to improve the outcomes on their farm.

“These are simple things like tell me how much precipitation I had on each of my fields to more complex things like giving a field prescription on a fieldby-field basis that’s really going to maximize my output from those fields.”

The Spray Smart digital platform, a field specific

weather and nutrient advisor, also was added last month.

“Everyone talks about there’s a lot of great science and great data out there. We want to make that data and science incredibly useful for our growers. Spray Smart is a tool that looks at the atmosphere, specifically it looks at whether or not there’s likely to be an inversion on a grower’s field and the wind speed and it tells this grower if now is a good time or not a good time for a spray application,” Goldfarb said.

“It’s one of those things where a grower could gather that information by themselves, but what we’ve done is we know the decision to spray or not is a critical decision for the grower, so we pull that information and serve that up to them inside of our portal.”

Nutrien Ag Solutions launched its customer

portal about a year ago with a goal to use digital technology to bring convenience and value to its growers.

“We started out pretty simple when we launched.

We let growers retrieve invoices and statements and pay their bills online, and the reaction was pretty immediate and strong. It was, ‘wow, there’s a lot of technical stuff out there, this makes my life simpler.

I don’t have to look for stamps and go to the post office, so I really appreciate that,’” Goldfarb said.

Since the initial rollout, additional functionality has been added to the ser v ice, including weather and market data and a unique e - commerce tool.

“I think we’re the only major ag retailer in North America that offers e-commerce for our growers across our product range.

So, if I’m a grower and I know the product that I want I can order that product from Nutrien Ag Solutions any time of the day or night,” Goldfarb said.

Helping agriculture, biodiversity coexist

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECAT UR , Il l. — Caydee Savinelli envisions a healthy crop production system where agriculture and biodiversity coexist.

In an interview with the Syngenta pollinator and integrated pest management lead, Savinelli said the company “recognizes that we’re part of the entire system, and so in 2013, we started the Good Growth Plan, which looks at biodiversity, worker health and keeping the soils healthy.”

“It’s part of our overall mission, and I am really appreciative to work for a company that can do that type of thing because to me it’s not just farming and selling products to the farmers — it’s really creating a whole healthy world,” she said.

Working together with partners, the initiative is committed to: n Make crops more efficient by increasing the average productivity of the world’s major crops by 20% without using more land, water or inputs. n Rescue more farmland by improving the fertility of more than 24 million acres of farmland on the brink of degradation. n Help biodiversity flourish by enhancing biodiversity on more than 12 million acres of farmland. n Empower smallholders by reaching 20 million smallholders and enabling them to increase

“If you don’t control Savinelli said Syngenta also is addressing endan- these mites, the popula-

“The other challenge is just finding a lot of food sources because the number of Conservation Reserved Program acres has gone down and that used to be a major food source for bees. So, we’re relying more on farmers to do individual plantings on their farms and even in large areas where possible.

“We’re trying to help the honeybees. But at the same time I think it’s important to help all of the bees, all of the butterflies, all of the insects because it’s not just one thing. It’s not just honeybees. It’s not just monarch butterflies. We have to be thinking about everything in biodiversity.

“I think everyone can do it. People will say, ‘I really want to help bees.

I’m going to get honeybees,’ and I tell folks, ‘Honeybees are not native to the United States.

Honeybees are a lot of work. If you really want to help bees, plant flowers.’

“That’s something that we all can at least try to do. Even if you live in an apartment, you can have a little flower pot. So, think about planting flowers because there are all sorts of other benefits to it.”

Biosynthetic motor oil uses high oleic soybean oil.

Soybeans used in synthetic motor oil

$9.99 quarts available on Amazon

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — Biosynthetic Technologies announced the commercial launch of a bio-based synthetic motor oil using high-oleic soybean oil.

Available in 5W-20 and 5W-30 viscosities, the oil is recommended for all types of modern vehicles, including high-performance, turbocharged, supercharged, multi-valve and fuel-injected engines that are found in passenger cars, SUVs, light vans and trucks.

According to the website, the oil retails for $9.99 per quart.

“Soy-based motor oil is another great opportunity to drive demand for U.S. soybeans and allow companies to give customers what they want at the same time,” said Mike Korth, United Soybean Board director and soybean farmer.

“These partnerships benefit soybean farmers and agriculture, as well as a variety of industries and end users.”

Courtney Kingery, CEO of Ind-

iana Soybean Alliance, discussed the benefits that new soybeanbased products like the oil bring to farmers.

“First off, it increases the demand for high oleic soybeans,” she said. “Secondly, things like Biosynthetic Technologies are bringing the bio-based products to the market that the consumers want.

“Lastly, we’re happy to be supporting local, Indiana industry.

When our farmers are able to partner with Indiana industry — that brings additional value back to Indiana.”

Giving thanks in all seasons As we gather around our tables this holiday season, America’s farmers and ranchers have good reason to be thankful and to hope.

Zippy Duvall Thanksgiving began on the farm, and I can’t American think of a more Farm Bureau fitting place for Federation the roots of hope and gratitude to take hold. Yes, we have faced — and continue to face — hard times, but we don’t reserve gratitude only for the easy times.

Even on the tough days, I can’t imagine a better job than being a farmer, taking care of the land that’s been home to my family for three generations. But it’s more than a job: it’s a calling.

America’s farmers and ranchers take great pride in answering the call to serve our families, neighbors and nation by growing a wholesome and sustainable food supply.

We don’t take for granted the trust Americans place in us, either. We’re proud of our work and of how far we have come thanks to technology and modern farming practices.

My grandfather couldn’t have imagined the tools farmers have at our fingertips today or envisioned how we have replenished the soil, making our farmland greener than ever.

Agriculture is constantly changing and adapting, thanks to the resilience and dedication of farmers and ranchers. We’re always learning and looking for better and more efficient ways to do things. It’s that spirit of innovation that has sustained American agriculture for centuries, and it’s that same spirit driving us into the future.

But as much as things change on our farms and in our commu-

nities, there are some things that I hope never change, like our bonds of family and faith.

When times are tough, part of what keeps farm and ranch families going is the support and encouragement we lend one another throughout the year, every year.

Our farms and rural communities have banded together and made our friendships and families stronger through every kind of storm, while still hoping for better days.

We also have come together across the agricultural community to make our voices heard on the most pressing issues facing our farms and ranches, from common-sense regulation to new trade deals. We are seeing the fruits of the policies we have planted, but we must all roll up our sleeves to finish this good work.

It’s up to each of us to reach out to our lawmakers and make it clear how important trade deals like USMCA are to the rural economy. We need to lend our support to the common-sense regulatory changes we’ve been calling for, like ESA reform and the new Clean Water Rule.

I have faith that our labors here in Washington and across the country will yield a full harvest and that together we will strengthen agriculture and our rural communities.

As you join hands with family, friends and neighbors to give thanks and reflect on the year, I pray that you are reminded of the blessings you each hold that don’t change with the weather and the markets.

Let’s give thanks for the generations who came before us, for the family we’re surrounded by, and for the Lord who gave us each hearts and hands to serve Him. Zippy Duvall is the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Illinois legal aid group gets pesticides-related grant CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is giving an Illinois legal aid group $30,000 to educate farmworkers about and to do research on pesticides.

The EPA said in a recent statement that the money going to Legal Aid Chicago will, among other things, help it survey corn-detasseling workers and fruit harvesters in Illinois on their knowledge of pesticide use.

It says the goal is to improve the health of migrant farmworkers.

Legal Aid Chicago said Illinois’ Department of Agriculture has received a record number of nearly 1,000 complaints in 2019 on alleged misuse of pesticides. It said that’s 10 times recent averages and illustrates the need for better education.

The money going to Legal Aid Chicago is part of a series of grants nationwide for groups working on similar measures.

This week, for the first time in history, the Dow Jones closed over the 28,000 level and remains firmly in a bull trend. It is now the best and most bullish equity market Commodity in history.

According to Insight CNBC news, “The current market Jerry Welch boom, which started March 9, 2009, has enjoyed a whopping 468% gain for the S&P 500 through the first day of November, according to The Leuthold Group. And, this record-long bull run also marks the best-performing one since World War II, the firm says.”

When it comes to a market, any kind including equities, two of the most difficult forecasts to predict is when a long-term bottom will be seen, or a long-term high. Once a low is in place and values head north, being long can be quite rewarding.

Once a high is in place and values head south, short positions can be quite rewarding. Or, exiting existing long positions can save an investor — or agriculture producers — a great deal of money.

Forecasting is more complicated by the fact that markets tend to bottom when things appear the bleakest. Markets also tend to top out when things appear the most bullish.

For the Dow Jones and other equity markets, things appear quite bullish today. For commodities, per se, the very opposite is being seen.

In my view, the best forecast I can recall regarding the stock market was by President Barack Obama.

Keep in mind that according to many, the bull market for the Dow began on March 9, 2009.

And, from my book, “Haunted

By Markets,” in a chapter entitled “The President Recommends Buying Stocks” that I penned on Nov. 27, 2009, comes the following: “On March 4, President Obama boldly stated it was a ripe time to buy into the stock market. ‘What you’re now seeing is profit and earnings ratios starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal, if you’ve got a long-term perspective on it,’ he said.

“Many observers interpreted the remarks as a veiled attempt to spark a market rally. But the market failed to rally and instead the Dow closed that day in the red by 37 points to settle at 6,726. A year and a half earlier, the market was over the 14,000 level.

“Recently, the Dow traded as high as 10,400, far above the levels of March 4, when President Obama suggested that buying stocks was a ‘potentially good deal.’ The Prez did a good job of forecasting.

“There are times when it is best to watch what a U.S. president does and not listen to what he says. Then there are times when it is best to listen to what a U.S. president says and not to what he does. Taking to heart what President Obama said on March 4 and acting on his words, as well, would have been very profitable.”

Stocks and commodities have been wildly bullish since President Obama strayed from the business of politics and moved into the business of markets. Is forecasting or offering investment advice part of the job description of the president of the United States?

I am reminded of a story of a man that learned a lesson about minding his own business the hard way. One afternoon while walking past a mental hospital, the man could hear the patients shouting, “13… 13… 13.”

Curious, he approached the hospital, but saw the fence was too high to peek over. Then he noticed a tiny gap in the wooden planks wide enough to look through.

Walking quickly to the fence, he pressed his eye against the open hole in the plank to see what all the commotion was about. Suddenly, a patient poked him in the eye with a stick.

Reeling backwards and giving out a high pitched yell, he turned and walked away. Holding an open palm against the throbbing, watery eye and a few feet from the hospital fence, he heard the patients chanting, “14… 14… 14.”

That was the day the man learned to mind his own business. He learned it the hard way.

Most economists and analysts argue the Dow Jones bottomed and began to trend higher on March 9 2009. President Obama said four days earlier than that, “Buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you’ve got a long-term perspective on it.”

The rally that quickly unfolded turned out to be the biggest, most bullish in all of history. And based on where equities are now trading, the bull trend remains firmly intact.

I tip my hat to Mr. Obama for not minding his own business and encouraging long-term investors with, thus far, what was the buy of the century.

Counting my blessings For so many of us in agriculture, 2019 has been a year we would like to forget. Yet, during this time of Thanksgiving, surely there is something worth remembering.

Rural Issues There is certainly much for which I Cyndi Young- am thankful.

About this time Puyear each year, I pen a column listing some of those blessings in my life.

The deep and meaningful friendships, my loving family, a challenging and rewarding career and continued good health remain at the top of my list.

My eyesight is no longer 20/20, and conversations with my husband frequently consist of a few more “What did you say?” and “I can’t hear you” than they did once upon a time, but I know I am blessed to have these senses.

In recent days I have relished time spent in my deer stand.

Although I enjoy hunting deer, I savor the time spent watching the two mature bald eagles tangling with one another in flight, apparently fighting over territory.

Through my binoculars I can clearly see a third and younger bird whose size gives him up as an eagle although the feathers of his head and tail are not yet white.

There are days when I think I should not “waste” time in my deer stand when I could be productive doing some other mindless chore that will no doubt need to be done again very soon.

I have almost talked myself out of going to the deer stand to complete a project that could be done the next day. I am thankful that I have made progress in bringing more work-and-life balance to my life.

I’m blessed with a beautiful piece of land where we live and raise cattle. Sometimes it’s difficult to leave. There are days when I dread my 40-minute drive to the office for work, but the scenery God has painted for me over hills and along the river on that ribbon of highway is truly spectacular.

Being a maker of lists, it was relatively easy for me to jump on the bandwagon with those who committed to sharing on social media those things for which they are thankful each day for 30 days. I wasn’t quite up to the task.

I made the list, but did not share it on social media. Reviewing the list, I know exactly what had happened that day to make me write what I did.

One day last month, I had a business trip to Milwaukee. Along with a co-worker, we flew to Chicago and rented a car to drive to Milwaukee.

The return trip was a travel nightmare. It had started to rain in Milwaukee, which quickly changed to sleet then snow then sleet again as we drove to Chicago.

We had five gate changes at O’Hare airport and spent more than two hours in the airplane before finally getting off the ground. After an hour-long drive, I arrived safely, albeit exhausted, at home at 1:30 a.m.

The wind was such that I felt it pushing against my Chevy Equinox as I drove, spotting more deer along the roadside than I could count. For my list entry the next day, I wrote I am thankful for safe passage in challenging conditions.

After watching a documentary about life in a refugee camp in Jordan, I wrote I am thankful I was born and raised in the United States of America.

I hope you enjoy a blessed Thanksgiving and holiday season.

We’re not crazy, the times are Thanksgiving was the kickoff to a month of bookkeeping, depreciation schedules and checkbook balancing for my parents on the southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth.

It culminated in an afFarm & Food ternoon meeting, usually the week after Christmas, File where my father would detail the farm’s annual Alan Guebert performance to his three, city-dwelling partners and lay out his plans for the coming year.

The meeting bordered on solemn. We children were ordered out of the house so these serious people could discuss serious plans that involved serious money without a giggle or footstep to distract their deliberations.

The entire afternoon was so serious to my mother, who was never invited to the meeting despite possessing the best working knowledge of the farm’s finances — she was its bookkeeper — that she called it “congress.”

No, not that Congress; it was her personal congress, the one whose actions one afternoon each year could alter her family’s livelihood as soon as next week and her children’s lives forever.

As such, she made certain Dad knew where every farm dollar came from and went to; how many calves, heifers and cows had been born, bought or butchered; and the down-to-the-penny profit the partners would pocket because of his — and, frankly, her — skills.

It was no accident that their year-end work and planning delivered: silos rose, debts fell and sturdy lives were built.

Institutions like family, church and state

For almost 50 years, the farm partnership established by my grandfather and continued by my father operated on nothing more than a handshake and the person’s integrity it represented. Today, that would be seen as crazy. were critically important, too, because they delivered support, hope and justice.

Those days, like Mom’s congress, are long gone. So, too, it often seems, is our trust in the institutions and people that guided us back then.

For almost 50 years, the farm partnership established by my grandfather and continued by my father operated on nothing more than a handshake and the person’s integrity it represented. Today, that would be seen as crazy.

Back then, crazy would have been partners so distrustful of each other that they needed a signed contract to keep each other honest. Had that been the case, I’m certain they never would have partnered to create something new, productive and lasting out of the sand and black gumbo of the Mississippi River bottoms.

Today, however, crazy seems to be exactly how business is done in American agriculture. Proof abounds.

Right now, crazy is seeing a highly contagious swine disease wipe out more hogs in China in six months than the United States will grow this year and, yet, U.S. cash hog prices are so low that indepen-

dent producers are now losing $50 per head.

Crazy is the U.S. Department of Agriculture now sending another $7.8 billion in “trade mitigation payments” — on top of the $6.69 billion sent earlier this fall and the $8.6 billion sent in 2018 — to farmers to, literally, paper over the White House’s no-end-in-sight trade war with China.

Crazy is maintaining that this irredeemable, costly mess remains China’s fault because it responded to U.S. tariffs with, as Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue loves to say, “unfair trade retaliation.”

Crazy is President Donald. Trump continuing to falsely claim that every penny of the $23.1 billion in mitigation money sent to farmers comes from import tariffs paid to the United States by China when every economist — including those on the president’s own staff — say that’s provably untrue.

Crazy is how low grain and livestock prices must persist before any responsible policy maker on either side of the government divide admits the obvious: that our crop insurance/export-centered ag policy continues to bleed equity and people out of rural America at an alarming rate while placing the nation’s food – and fiber – growing future on fewer people and even bigger agbiz.

Crazy is that every one of us, to some extent, large or small, is responsible for these failures present and future.

Crazier still is that none of us was raised that way.

Programs to supplement farm income doomed With increases in the number of farm bankruptcy proceedings and suicides among farmers, it seems like we have been transported back to the 1980s and the farm crisis.

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. At the beginning of this decade, we were told that crop agriculture was on a new price plateau and the only problem would be the need to protect farmers against in-season price fluctuation – the difference between price expectations at planting and actual prices at harvest.

At that point, farm income was approaching record levels, and few were worried about the need for protection against an extended period of low prices.

The August forecast of 2019 net farm income is $88 billion, down 21% from the peak of $123.7 billion in 2013. While net government payments were 11% of net farm income in 2013, the projection for this year is 22.1%.

Tragically, these increased payments are not enough to stave off farm bankruptcies. In an article for Modern Farmer, Dan Nosowitz writes, “The Farm Bureau, a lobbying group that typically leans to the corporate side of farming, analyzed statistical data from the U.S. courts concerning bankruptcy filings. For the year leading up to September 2019, American farm bankruptcies were up by a whopping 24% compared to the year before. During this mostly-2019 period, there were 580 Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings.”

The largest number of filings was 48

Ag Policy Harwood D. Schaffer and Daryll E. Ray in Wisconsin followed by Nebraska, Kansas and Georgia with 37 filings each.

Though statistics on suicides by farm operators are difficult to quantify — some may be classified as accidental deaths — the level of calls to farm suicide prevention hotlines has increased as farmers have faced an extended period of farm prices below the cost of production. In addition to hotline reports, the trend in farm suicides can be seen in the increase in news stories on farm suicides by major media outlets.

The current financial struggles in farm country cannot solely be laid at the feet of the current trade war with China. They began well before then and cannot be blamed on any single administration.

We have seen a slow shift in the economic philosophy of farm programs since

the Eisenhower administration. From our perspective, farm programs fell over the cliff with the passage of the 1996 farm bill and without the implementation of the Renewable Fuels Standard, the crisis agriculture is currently experiencing would have come much earlier.

The attempt of current farm programs to solve the inherent problems facing the farm sector by enacting various programs to supplement farm income is doomed to failure.

To start with, farm income supplementation programs are very expensive as we have seen in the increase in direct government payments from $11 billion in 2013 to a forecast $19.5 billion in 2019. Even with that increase, we see increasing farm debt, bankruptcies and suicides.

In addition, the benefits of farm income supplementation programs are unevenly spread among various farm constituencies. The programs that meet the needs of farmers in one area can be inadequate for farm operations in another region.

What farmers need is a price for their production that covers the full cost of production of a set of products that are required to meet human nutritional needs.

Until as a nation we can agree on the need for price-support programs we are doomed to repeat the boom-bust cycle that has plagued agriculture for millennia. © 2019 Agricultural Policy Analysis Center.

IT TAKES HEART. Family tradition got you here. Hope for the future will keep you going. You were made for this.

| ILLINOIS AGRINEWS | www.agrinews-pubs.com

From The Fields Thankful for family We finally had a nice run of decent weather and were able to make a dent on the corn harvest over the weekend.

There’s still a lot to be done, but it makes you feel better when you can cross fields off the to-be-harvested list. The weather folks are calling for rain later today along with more rain and possible snow later this week. Not what we need.

Perhaps one of these times they will be wrong when it comes to more precipitation this year.

I am hoping for more sun, so we can switch back and get soybeans finished, but it doesn’t sound promising right now.

Considering the challenges of 2019, we are thankful for the yields we do have out there. It will be a year we remember for a long time. Wet spring with flooding, late planting, record number of prevent plant acres, more rains and flooding all summer long, wet fall, early snow, more rains, with a late harvest with wet grain and a lack of LP when we need it.

Frustrations and tensions galore this year, but while we struggle, we still have hope and are already planning for the 2020 growing season.

It’s been fun the past couple weeks following the ALOT program page of the Illinois Farm Bureau on Facebook. ALOT is celebrating 40 years of leadership development classes this year. I participated as a member of the class of 2006 and our photo was featured a few days ago. I made wonderful friends and great memories while it opened doors for me to grow as an individual to get more

What insects are in cover crops?

JACKSONVILLE, Ill. – Have you ever wondered what beneficial or pest insects are in cover crops? Researchers in the University of Illinois Crops Sciences department along with Extension educators started a multi-year statewide study this spring identifying insects in cover crops.

Results of this year’s work will be discussed

by Dr. Nick Seiter at the seminar “Cover Crops, Insects and Nutrients” from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 13 at the Morgan County Extension office, 104 N. Westgate, Jacksonville.

In addition, Lowell Gentry, principal research scientist, will talk about the use of rye cover crops for reducing leachable nitrogen.

Two CE’s are available for Certified Crop Advisors.

Cost is $5. Register by Dec. 11 by visiting go.illinois.edu/cover.

involved in my community.

Involvement in the community on school boards, county boards, non-profits, 4-H, FFA and boards of ag businesses is essential to the strength of our rural communities.

I’m thankful my family has supported being involved in the community and programs to develop personally. I have had a lifelong role model in my dad, Keith, on dedication and commitment to a board of directors. This week, I’m especially proud of him as he is retiring from the Stephenson Service Co. Board of Directors.

I don’t recall a time in my life that he hasn’t been serving on the local FS board, attending monthly meetings along with other GROWMARK meetings.

He received his 25 years of service gold watch from Max Armstrong at the 75th anniversary annual meeting in 2005.

He took the battery of that watch dying as a sign it was time for him to retire and move on after 39 years on the board.

He has always had the same philosophy as a board member and readily passes that philosophy on to new employees and salesmen: “If you look out for the farmer, the farmer will look out for you.” Great advice for anyone in agriculture.

Congratulations, Dad. Thank you for being a great example to your family and others of what a leader should be.

As this is my final week to share insights for the 2019 growing season, I want to thank those that have stopped and mentioned that they have enjoyed the articles. I hope I have shared a nice cross-section of agriculture both from the field and ag related events in our region. It’s been fun sharing from Northern Illinois for the past three years. Stay safe out

there finishing harvest. There have been too many news stories lately of deaths in grain bins, field accidents, ag equipment versus non-ag vehicle accidents on the roadways. Nothing is too important to not take a few extra minutes to do things safely and to be extra cautious.

The marathon continues, but we will all cross that finish line.

Thank you for following along once again this year.

Here’s wising you a happy Thanksgiving and a wonderful holiday season.

Kimberly Meier RIDOTT, ILL.

One for the books I hope everyone enjoyed reading my From the Fields report this year.

We’re trying to finish all our fieldwork before the rain. We finished hauling manure Saturday.

Cutting stalks and chiseling a few fields is all we have left. It will be close. Then we can put 2019 in the books and look forward to 2020.

This has definitely been a year for the record books.

Starting wet in the spring, then turning dry in the summer.

Then wet again in the fall. LP shortages in our area didn’t help with drying corn down.

Hopefully, the trade war with China can be resolved and we can get that market back. It would also be nice to get the ethanol situation resolved and reopen some ethanol plants and get corn demand back up.

Hope everyone had a great 2019. Happy Thanksgiving and have a merry Christmas.

Raber Packing continues with rebuilding plans

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST PEORIA, Ill. — What took less than 24 hours to destroy will take a little longer to rebuild.

Raber Packing Co., which burned on Nov. 8, 2018, will rise from the ashes. The new and improved meat processing, shop and demonstration facility that owner Buddy Courdt envisions is in the planning process.

“We are working on designing a plant that is innovative and efficient,” Courdt said.

In April, Courdt and Jim Dillon, mayor of West Peoria, conducted a news conference to announce that the fourth-generation meat processing company would relocate to West Peoria and would rebuild.

“To have a business this size that is family oriented, going to build union, is exciting,”

The rebuilding of Raber Packing Co. still is in the planning process, but owner Buddy Courdt has a vision for the new facility. Courdt announced his plans to rebuild the fourth-generation family meat processing business shortly after a fire claimed the old facility on Nov. 8. said Dillon as he and Courdt, surrounded by members of the Raber and Courdt families and Raber employees, stood at the site of the future facility.

The new facility will be a 40,000 square foot facility that is going on almost 10 acres of property, which will leave room for possible future expansion.

“I can’t wait to see the first shovel of dirt turned and get that

much closer to having Raber’s back open,” Dillon said.

On Aug. 30, Courdt said that the rebuilding process for the kind of modern meat processing facility he wants takes some time to get just right.

“We are still in the planning process. Navigating the rebuild process is ex tensive and intensive,” Courdt said.

Even back in April, Courdt

being federally inspected, which will allow products to be sold commercially anywhere in the United States.

The larger facility also will hold more live animals for processing.

“We could easily do 300 to 400 hogs a week and 50 beef a week if we wanted to and if we get to that point,” Courdt said.

Courdt said he has maintained contact with the area farmers who supplied animals to the original facility.

“I talk to at least one or two farmers a week, wanting to know what’s going on, when it’s going to happen. They want to plan for that future, so I don’t see too many difficulties there in having all those relationships back,” Courdt said.

said the company had a long road ahead before the “Open for Business” sign would go up.

“I don’t foresee anything being a problem, but there’s a lot of work to be done,” he said.

One major change on the business end is that the new Raber Packing Co. will be able to sell its meat products around the Jeannine Otto can be reached country. The facility is moving at 815-223-2558, ext. 211, or from being state inspected to jotto@agrinews-pubs.com.

Flames don’t interrupt Raber tradition

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

After Brett Musgrave, the operations manager for Raber Packing Co., took his kids to school on Nov. 9, 2018, he had a job to finish.

With his cousin’s business in smoking ruins from an overnight fire, Musgrave set about making sure that a Raber tradition — cooking and serving Friday supper at the Salvation Army shelter — went on as usual. Later, Musgrave and his children went to look at what remained of the business.

PEORIA, Ill. — Brett Musgrave didn’t say much as he sat with his cousin, Buddy Courdt, the owner of Raber Packing Co., along with Buddy’s parents, Fred and Julie Courdt, on the morning of Nov. 9, 2018.

“We tried to talk about what do things look like t omor r ow,” Mu s g r ave said.

Musgrave is the operations manager for Raber Packing Co., which is set to relocate in West Peoria.

He works full time for Courdt during the summer, when his wife, a teacher, is at home.

One of those tomorrow things was pay. The employees’ paychecks lay in a safe, but that safe was under a smoking pile of debris that had been Courdt’s

fourth-generation family business.

“The fire happened when the payroll had just been done, so it was in the safe in the building,” Musgrave said.

Musgrave had that in mind, but a Raber tradition, as well. Every Friday night for a number of years, Raber employees have been cooking and serving supper to the residents of the Salvation Army mission in Peoria.

Even with the chaos happening around them, the meal remained a priority for the Courdts and their workers.

“Obviously, in that situation, we were thinking — what are they going to do?

We discussed that while we were sitting watching the fire. We determined that it was still possible to do the supper that day,” Musgrave

said.

After he took his kids to school, Musgrave started calling to figure out a way to get supper ready. The area business community responded.

“The owners of Pizza Ranch in Morton, they offered us pretty much any item they make. I said let’s serve pizzas, and they offered anything they make and they offered to help out,” Musgrave said.

Some of the items that the Raber Friday night supper team serves, like fruit and cookies, they purchase at the local Sam’s Club.

“They replaced what we had that burned, so we could still have all that for Friday,” Musgrave said.

The Friday night supper went on as usual.

Even as they served others, the Raber employ-

ees didn’t have to worry about their futures. Buddy Courdt assured his workers they would continue to be paid. The only delay in that process was reprocessing the payroll that was in the safe during the fire.

The Raber employees have kept up their volunteer work. Thirty Raber’s workers have volunteered their time at nonprofit organizations in and around the Peoria area.

It’s not just a benefit for the organizations that received the extra help.

“T he biggest hurdle when we open back up is that people may not be used to getting up and being at the same place for an extended period of time and doing a repetitive job.

The idea is to try and overcome that and give people a routine and a place to be,” Musgrave said.

Nature’s tillage tools Undisturbed soil draws earthworm activity

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

EAST PEORIA, Ill. — “If you build it, they will come” is a slight variation from a line in the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams,” but best sums up the value in minimal soil disturbance and earthworms.

Far mers can throw the “kitchen sink” at their crops to shoot for high yields, but without soil biological activity and the tillage tools that are earthworms, success won’t be achieved.

Soil scientist Frank Gibbs stressed the magnitude of creating an environment for earthworms in his keynote at the National Strip-Tillage Conference.

“Earthworms are amazing creatures God gave to us and they can enrich your soil and they’re out there working for you all of the time,” said Gibbs, former U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conser vation Ser v ice soil scientist, founder of Wetland and Soil Consulting Services in Rawson, Ohio, and fifth-generation to own and operate his family farm in Ohio.

The principles of soil health are to limit soil disturbance, increase soil microbial diversity, grow living roots year-round, keep the soil covered and reduce compaction.

“You’re going to do that by utilizing earthworms. Earthworms will come to you again.

They’ll come if you build a conser vation system based on strip-till, no-till, zone-till, controlled traffic, cover crops and drainage,” Gibbs noted.

FIT TO PLANT Gibbs gave several examples, including experiences on his own family farm, that show the benefits of minimal tillage systems.

In his home county of Hancock, Ohio, only 25% of the corn and 70% to 75% of the soybeans were able to be planted this year due to heavy rains.

DORAN Fields surrounding Gibbs’ property were among those not Minimal soil disturbance encourages the growth in the all important earthworm populations that help breakdown residue, improve drainage and allows roots planted. to reach nutrients, Frank Gibbs explained to the more than 300 attending the See TILLAGE, Page 17 National Strip-Tillage Conference in East Peoria, Illinois.

TILLAGE FROM PAGE 16

“We’re calling it ‘farmageddon.’ Twelve Ohio counties were declared disasters,” he said, adding he was unable to plant corn, but was able to plant the entire no-till farm in soybeans on June 26.

He attributed his ability to plant while his neighbors couldn’t because of the activity in the soil that is created by a no-till system and included 87 nightcrawler holes per 9.7 square feet of soil.

“I couldn’t take all of the water either, but I could take more than the people that do the tillage. Folks, it’s not rocket science. Get the water in the ground, the basic principle of soil and water conservation.

You can do this with striptill, no-till or zone-till,” Gibbs said.

“You need living material, you need organic matter and surface for these worms to eat it and you need to not tear up their holes. You need an undisturbed area. We’ve got to be able to deal with these intense storms and get the water into the ground.

“We need drainage tile.

We need surface drains.

We need to keep the water there. We have to have that drainage. Otherwise, we’re not going to have a good root system to utilize those nutrients that we’re putting out there. We need to have roots moving down the soil.”

BIG APPETITES Earthworms and biologicals enjoy residue smorgasbords.

One example Gibbs referred to was at an Ohio no-till conference he attended a few years ago that included a visit to Bret Margraf’s wheat field.

The wheat straw remained on the field in the fall and Margraf drilled in cover crops — two legumes, two brassicas, two grasses

“Earthworms are amazing creatures God gave to us and they can enrich your soil and they’re out there working for you all of the time.”

and buckwheat mix — in the fall.

That next spring students from Ohio State University harvested sample areas of the field, dried and weighed the material. It was determined the field averaged 13,000 pounds of dry residue per acre. Corn was planted in the field that spring.

Gibbs visited the field in September and there was no noticeable residue anywhere in the field.

“The earthworms ate it. You tell me a piece of steel that you’re going to buy that can take 13,000 pounds of dry residue, turn it into worm poop and take it six feet down in your ground. That’s the power of this,” he said.

He gave similar examples of fields that had residue ranging from 12.3 tons to 15.5 tons per acre of dry matter where cover crops and no-till were utilized.

“They’ve been in longterm no-till. They built up their earthworm populations. They’re not going out there and ripping it up every other year and screwing it all up where you’re not going to have that kind of population buildup,” he said.

Avoiding compaction also is an important piece of soil health.

“Do it with controlled traffic and drive in the same place. Ohio State University study found that 60% to 70% of compaction happens the first time you drive over the ground. Don’t be driving everywhere. Drive in the same place and

17

leave everything nice in between,” Gibbs said.

FIVE YEARS For those turned toward strip-till, no-till or zone-till practices, Gibbs noted it typically takes five years before big changes are apparent.

“If you add cover crops to it and you manage it and you get lucky you may cut it down to three years. But normally when you go to these systems, the first year everything is the same, there’s not much change.

That second or third year you may go into a yield dip because number one you don’t have the nightcrawler population built-up yet, your soil is used to having steel run through it and artificially f luffed, and now it’s consolidating and there’s not as much air space in there,” he said.

Adequate tile drainage also is important in soil health management, although the topic does create some controversy.

“People are like, ‘Oh, tile are bad. Look at that pipe, that’s polluting our stream.’

How about if all of the water is going off over the top of the ground, taking all the erosion, the soil and the nutrients uncontrolled into our streams. If we have it in a pipe we can do something with it. We’ve captured it. Keep the water in the soil,” Gibbs said.

“You can make it work. If they can land on the moon 50 years ago with what they had, we will survive this weather change. We will survive through this, and it’s people like you that are going to make it happen.

“It’s not the people that are stuck in the past and aren’t thinking ahead.

You can save this planet and keep growing food for all of the people of the world.”

Farmer reaches strip-till goal

By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

EAST PEORIA, Ill. — The need for more efficient product placement and the desire to eliminate extra costly passes moved Seth Wenzel to take the leap into strip-till seven years ago and it’s paying off.

Wenzel shared his experiences at the National Strip-tillage Conference.

Wenzel has been strip-tilling on the family’s 4,000-acre farm based near Kent, in northwest Illinois, since 2012. The farm has a corn/soybean rotation and has approximately 60% corn this year and the rest is soybeans.

“By no means am I an expert. I’m just sharing our story. For us, it’s just a huge savings as far as labor, the costs of chisel plowing and field cultivating. Don’t be afraid to park the plow,” Wenzel said.

“When we started, our first ques-

tion with strip-till is could we get either the same yield and/or the same revenue with a single pass. It seemed like as our operation grew and we had more acres to cover we didn’t have enough man hours in the day to run that chisel plow.”

In the summer of 2012, the family purchased a 24-row DB60 bar with Redball strip-till units for about $60,000. They had previously rented an anhydrous toolbar from the local co-op.

They added a new NH3 Equaply system for approximately $25,000 for anhydrous ammonia applications and used Ag Leader for product control and steering.

“We thought we’d try it and if these Redball units were a flop we could at least say we have a bar that’s worth that and we can always swap it out later,” Wenzel said.

He began in the fall of 2012 when he strip-tilled about 1,000

acres of soybean stubble. That next spring he strip-tilled 60 acres of continuous corn. The remaining corn acres were chiseled in the fall, anhydrous ammonia was applied in the spring, followed by cultivation.

Wenzel broadca st-applies phosphorous and potassium based on soil samples, but hopes to eventually apply P and K with either a strip-till bar or planter.

That first year, the 60 acres of strip-till corn yielded eight bushels less than comparable cornon-corn fields in the area. The 2013 harvest price was $4.39 per bushel, so the eight extra bushels would have been an additional $35 per acre.

However, Wenzel saved $33 per acre in expenses from not using a chisel plow, at $18 per AGRINEWS PHOTO/TOM C.

“For us, that kind of a small win on that 60-acre field, sure, you could argue that we lost $2 per acre in revenue, but we didn’t have to chisel plow, we didn’t have to field cultivate and we got approximately the same revenue as the adjacent corn-on-corn fields,” Wenzel said.

“That was kind of a soft win. It wasn’t a home run, but we were more or less proving to ourselves that we could get the same revenue with a single pass,” he said.

In 2014, he rented a JC 24-row planter, used in-furrow starter and 2X2 placement with 32% ni-

trogen on the planter.

“For us, this was big because we were doing herbicide with our sprayer and thought, well, could we put nitrogen down with our planter,” he said.

Wenzel expanded strip-till to about one-third of his corn-oncorn acres and found similar results as the previous year.

“We had slightly less yield, but same revenue. We weren’t getting the coffee shop home run yield that everyone was talking about, but we were OK with that. We took a small yield hit, but we had the exact same revenue as those guys in the coffee shop. They might have gotten five or six more bushels, but I’m keeping that money in my pocket and I’m not destroying

the soil, I’m not doing three or four passes across the soil, I’m doing one pass across the soil,” Wenzel said.

By 2015, he was convinced that strip-till was the way to go and invested in a 24-row John Deere 1775 planter “with all of the groceries.” They strip-tilled half of the corn-on-corn acres.

“We finally observed that we could get corn-on-corn strip-till yields equivalent to our corn-oncorn conventional tillage yield. It took us three years to get there.

We’re still learning, we’re still trying to figure it out, but finally in side-by-side trials we were to the point where it didn’t matter if I had a chisel plow or strip-till corn-on-corn the yields were the same,” Wenzel said.

“Our goal was to get the same or more with less inputs.”

For those planning to utilize strip-till, Wenzel recommends to start with used equipment.

“You can do baby steps. Don’t be afraid of used equipment.

Over time you can work your way up to the latest and greatest,” he said.

Wenzel admitted he’s no soil health expert, but has seen improvements in his fields.

“It seems like as time went on, the soil was very mellow and easy to plant in. It seemed like we could plant anywhere from two to three days ahead of where the neighbors were. The neighbors were waiting for it to dry out, but wherever our strips were, it was fit, it was dry and we

were out there planting,” he said.

Wenzel likes to get into implement guidance to complement his current tractor guidance system.

“We’re struggling with how to do that and make it work. When we’re in the flats, it’s no problem, but you get on a side hill and the anhydrous bar drags just a little bit and the planter with the starter also likes to drag just a little bit; they draft differently. We are nudging the guidance lines to match-up for draft. It isn’t ideal, but it works,” he said.

“The only nudging we do is for implement draft. But since we’re doing RTK our main north-south AB line never moves. The only thing we change is a 15-inch shift from one year to the next.”

Ag industry prepares for Illinois River closure

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

PEORIA, Ill. — The bulk of grain, fertilizer, petroleum and other shipments on the Illinois River will be idle next summer for major repairs to six aging locks and dams.

“The locks and dams were built in the 1930s, so they’re old and they need work,” Dennis Shannon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Illinois Waterways operations project manager in Peoria, said at an informational meeting hosted by the Peoria Farm Bureau.

The Corps initially received $117 million in funding for repairs at the LaGrange Lock and Dam at Versailles. With that in place, a move that would necessitate river shutdown, the Corps also successfully sought funding for repairs at five other locks and dams along the Illinois River’s 286 miles.

Navigation on the rest of the river, between the locks, will not be impacted by the closures.

Recreation and commercial vessels will be able to navigate within the pools without restrictions.

“There’re about 30 million tons of commodities annually that go through the LaGrange Lock and Dam. The tonnage increases as you go down the river, so LaGrange has the most tonnage but with the river being closed 90 to 120 days you’re probably looking at 10 million tons of commodities that are not going to be on the river and they’re going to have to find another way to go,” Shannon said.

Here are among the impacts as a result of the river closures.

ON FERTILIZER “One tow on the river of typically about 15 barges moves 26,000 tons of fertilizer. That would take 216 rail cars or 1,050 trucks would be needed to move

26,000 tons of fertilizer,” said Joe Kilgus, Growmark Crop Nutrient Division director of sales and marketing.

From an economic standpoint, bulk shipping by water from Asia to New Orleans costs about $20 a ton to be transported 3,000 to 4,000 miles. The cost to ship via barge from New Orleans to Mapleton, Illinois, costs $12 to $15 per ton for the 1,000 mile trek. The same product by rail from a fertilizer plant in central Florida to Mapleton costs $48 to $70 per ton.

Growmark will be working with its importers as well as domestic suppliers to move shipments ahead of the July 1 river closure.

“The most critical one probably is we do get some potash importers besides what comes out of Canada. We bring a lot over from Russia and Israel, so we’ll try to get those imports moved up so we can be ahead. So, gen-

erally when the closure is going on in July, August and September time frame, that’s usually when all we’re doing is trying to refill for the fall season. We’ve got to change some of those time schedules to do it early,” Kilgus said.

“Our overall plan is to have things full at the end of the spring season. Our sales, our typical product movement during that time period is about 210,000 tons of phosphorous and potassium which is what we’re concentrating on. We have storage at those core facilities for about half of that. So if you look at the time frame when fall fertilizer starts with half of that in place already, if everything opens up on time we’re sitting in pretty good shape.

“If we stick with the time schedule I think there will be minimal impact. The key is to get things full prior to the river closure.

“If we had to supply the other

110,000 tons all by truck, I’m guessing that the cost to the farmer would be somewhere between zero cents and $1.80 an acre due to the additional freight costs. I don’t want you to be scared of $1.80 an acre because that’s the high side — almost worst case scenario. I think at best we’re somewhere in that 30 to 50 cents an acre that could be added in cost to the farmer if we have to start trucking things and go through other means.”

ON SHIPPING Curt Strubhar, Advance Trading risk manager and cash grain consultant, said the river closure may result in tighter future spreads. July might be a little higher and September a little lower compared to when the river is fully navigable, with a slightly weaker basis levels in the affected area.

RIVER FROM PAGE 20

“We’re talking pennies, not dimes and certainly not dollars. That shouldn’t dramatically change your cash price,” Strubhar said.

Strubhar believes the combination of lower production this year will impact baseline demand, therefore reducing reliance on the river system during its shutdown.

Advance Trading estimates average yields this year at 10 bushels below trend nationwide, and forecasts 1.9 billion bushels of corn exports, compared to 2.1 billion forecast by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“We’re a little light of what USDA had last year but there’s still room to come lower and the lower that goes the less impact the Illinois River has on the shipment of grain from the northern two-thirds of Illinois,” Strubhar said.

“We don’t have a lot of exports on the books today. Now we’re

| GREATER PEORIA FARM SHOW | www.agrinews-pubs.com

talking about the river close in July through September 2020.

That’s a long way but oftentimes first-quarter exports are a decent indicator of what the rest of the marketing year will hold. The reason our numbers are so light is because of the price comparison between the U.S. and Brazil on a vessel-loading basis. We’re getting some from Mexico and getting some from the countries where we have a freight advantage but we’re not getting as much in the big consuming areas of the Far East.”

More shipments could move over to rail to accommodate end-users in the southeastern U.S. Corn from Ohio and parts of Indiana are typically sent by rail to the southeast but there are production problems in those areas. End-users may need to fill that loss with Illinois corn.

“It doesn’t mean we won’t have a value effect. All things equal, if we lose a transportation mode for four months, there’s going to be a valuation effect and it’s not going to be a positive direction. The question is what’s our magnitude of los-

ing that,” Strubhar said.

The soybean export picture via the river system is not as dire, partly because the soybean market worldwide is on a six-month-on and six-month-off basis. Brazil tends to run out of surplus soybeans by October or November and the U.S. then gets the lion’s share of the world business until the Brazilian new crop harvest in March.

“Unlike corn, we don’t have as many domestic homes for soybeans. There aren’t as many rail destinations for Illinois soybeans. There aren’t as many processors, even though we do have a couple of big ones. There aren’t as many processors in the northern two-thirds of the state either,” Strubhar noted.

“Soybeans may see more of an effect in that July through September time frame than corn from a cash value standpoint relative to normal. So, a lot of the ability to market soybeans may come down to what does our space situation look like in the fall of 2020 and what are the warehouses’ ability to carry those soybeans over.”

ON MARKETING “I’m certainly having a hard time seeing for this marketing year the river market being very competitive on corn. We are not competitively priced with the rest of the marketplace. South American corn recently cost between 40 and 50 cents per bushel less than U.S. prices on the world market,” said Cole Stock, grain originator at Western Grain Marketing in Adair.

“It’s a different story on soybeans. We are competitively priced. However, our biggest customer (China) doesn’t want to buy from us, so we need to get that figured out first. Have a marketing plan for your soybeans.

Don’t bank on more Market Facilitation Program payments, don’t bank on a trade agreement getting done, have a marketing plan for your soybeans.”

For those farmers who rely on the Illinois River market for sales, “sell to cash (before the river closes), get it marketed, get it out the door, get it moved at a profitable price that fits your marketing plan,” he said.

Stock believes the rail market

We know you have a lot of things to deal with on your farm.

We’re here to make sure your seed isn’t one of them.

will “stay strong. We sit on the BNSF railroad. I look for that to stay strong because they don’t want cars just sitting because then they’re not making any money.”

He said Wester n Grain Marketing is keeping its corn and soybean storage rates the same as last year at its country elevators.

“Right now what we’re seeing everywhere in the marketplace, whether it’s the river, ethanol or rail, basis numbers are pretty good for the fall and they’re pretty good for December,” Stock said.

“So, if you’re a person who likes a basis contract, if you’re a farmer who uses marketing programs where basis needs to be set and you know that you have to use some bushels in the fall, fall basis is very attractive right now. The same could be said for December for moving it out of the bins.”
