Tractor safety tips for farmers

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LINCOLN, Neb. — About half of all fatal farm injuries involve tractors, making it a serious safety concern in the agriculture industry.

Aaron Yoder, associate professor of environmental, agricultural and occupational health at the University of Nebraska, spoke about tractor safety during a webinar hosted by AgriSafe.

“When we think about some of the hazards that exist with the tractor, we talk about things like overturns, entanglements, falls and general mechanical hazards that we see around all machinery,” he said.

Most tractor-attributed accidents involve rollovers.

T here are two types of rollovers: sideways and rear overturns. Sideways rollovers are most Yoder common, although less likely to be fatal.

Yoder shared tips on preventing rollovers.

PREVENT SIDEWAYS ROLLOVERS n Wide set wheels. n Restrict speed according to conditions. n Avoid bouncing. n Slow down on turns. n Use engine braking on downhill grades. n Avoid crossing steep slopes. n Use caution around ditches. n Front loader scoops should be kept low when the tractor is moving.

PREVENT REAR OVERTURNS n Hitch towed loads only to drawbar. n Limit height of 3-point hitch. n Use weights for balance if applicable – front-end weights or wheel weights. n Start forward motion slowly and change speed gradually. n Avoid ditches or obstructions. n Use caution going up or down slopes.

Rollover protective str uctures are designed to limit rollovers to 90 degrees and protect the operator if it goes past 90 degrees Seatbelts are required for ROPS to be effective.

Soybean-based biofuel and corn-based ethanol give customers more options at the pump.

Biofuel boost More choices at the pump

BROW NS T OW N , I nd .

— A new station owned by Premier Energy will bring soybean-based biodiesel and cornbased ethanol blends produced

by CountryMark to consumers.

The station and convenience store is located at 1300 Commerce St. in Brownstown.

Indiana Soybean Alliance and Indiana Corn Marketing Council joined Premier Energy and CountryMark to celebrate the grand opening.

“We’re excited about this site,” said Harold Cooper, CEO and general manager of Premier Companies. “This really does represent Indiana commerce. This station derives all of its business and products from Indiana.

“Consumers can come in and participate with choice, anywhere from 0% ethanol all the way to 85%.”

The station will feature Unleaded 88, a blend of 15% ethanol with regular unleaded gasoline; and E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.

The station also will include CountryMark Dieselex-4 OnRoad, a biodiesel offered in blends of B5, B10, B15 and B20.

Indiana is the fifth-largest producer of ethanol in the United States, said Tim Gauck, a farmer from Greensburg and

“Most of the corn we produce in Indiana goes to livestock, like poultry and hogs,” Gauck explained. “But the second most important use is ethanol to power vehicles.

“It also improves efficiency and costs less at the pump. Fuel experts agree that ethanol fuel blends improve performance. If

you look at the Indianapolis 500, the Indy cars run on ethanol.”

ICMC and ISA fund programs to expand the number of biofuels pumps across Indiana and educate consumers about the benefits of biofuels.

“Diesel fuel made from soybean oil — or biodiesel — is one of the very first soybean new uses developed by the soybean checkoff,” said Phil Ramsey, farmer and ISA board member.

“Soy biodiesel fuel replaces the petroleum of traditional fossil-fuel diesel with renewable, sustainable soybean oil. Soy biodiesel is good for your engine, good for Hoosier health and good for Indiana’s environment.”

Ramsey said that today’s fuels are the highest possible quality.

Trump support farm strong Perdue ‘amazed’ by resilience of agriculture

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Despite reports that may indicate the opposite, U.S. farmer support for President Donald Trump remains strong — even as some of his policy moves may be inducing anxiety from those same farmers.

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue reacted instantly to a reporter’s question about when farmers’ patience with Trump’s ag policies, particularly the ongoing trade war with China, could be waning.

“What I really find is the media trying to go out and discover that one person or two people that don’t like it and focus their media discussions and reports on those,” said Perdue when asked at a 2019 Farm Progress Show news conference.

Perdue acknowledged that Trump’s policies and the gen-

eral economic climate in farm country is causing anxiety.

“Are people anxious still?

Are people hopeful and ready for a solution? Absolutely. But I don’t know that I would use the word waning,” Perdue said.

Earlier that day, during an

interview with farm broadcasters Max Armstrong and Orion Samuelson, Perdue took a phone call from the president, in which the president said that he could be a hero if he came to a quick deal with China to resolve the trade war, but that he thought the country wanted the causes of that trade war resolved before a deal was reached.

Perdue re-emphasized that notion.

“For the most part, they realize that China, not just in the last little bit, but for a long time, has built their economy on the back of American innovation and creativity and entrepreneurship and has stolen technology, has used that to build their economy and their military and their goal of world dominance. President Trump has thrown the flag and said we are not going to allow that to happen,” Perdue said.

Perdue dismissed reports in the media, in which farmers have been interviewed voicing their concern over the economic state of affairs in U.S. agriculture and with the president himself.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana continues to see a decline in dairy farms.

As of Sept. 1, the state had 828 Grade A dairies. That is down from 928 Grade A dairy farms reported on Jan. 1 and down even more from the 1,042 farms that were in the state at the start of 2018, according to the Indiana State Board of Animal Health.

“We know being in that business is a real challenge now.

However, we appreciate the efforts producers are putting into keeping their farms compliant and working with our inspection staff to protect the safety of our milk supply,” said State Veterinarian Bret Marsh.

Marsh gave updates on other livestock sectors in the state.

BEEF With a recent announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, BOAH is encouraging cattle owners who have not already made the switch to start planning to use electronic radio-frequency identification ear tags.

“Beginning in 2023, the USDA will only recognize RFID tags for beef and dairy cattle. Producers also need to know that beginning in 2021 traditional metal clip-style tags may no longer be applied as official identification in cattle,” Marsh said.

Livestock in Indiana face disease issues

By Ashley Langreck

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS — As fall is upon the state, Indiana State Veterinarian Bret Marsh took time to answer questions about health issues facing the Hoosier livestock industry.

In terms of the livestock industry and animal health, as well as the Board of Animal Health’s involvement, how did the 2019 Indiana State Fair go?

From the Board of Animal Health’s perspective, the 2019 fair season went well.

We did not receive any reports of influenza activity in swine barns.

BOAH has been encouraging counties and Marsh exhibitors to take steps to minimize the opportunity for spread of influenza in public settings. We are hoping that some of the practices — such as reducing the amount of time swine are commingled in fair barns — is having a positive effect.

As fall 2019 is here, what are some issues that are facing the Hoosier livestock industry?

As we close our summer and move into the fall, a couple of diseases are making an appearance regionally.

Other tractor-related accidents may involve falls or run-overs.

“Oftentimes it’s children or extra riders,” Yoder said.

“On occasion the operator actually falls off the

Ditches ditched

County says no to wind farm

Reaction to repeal of WOTUS rule

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON — A move by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to repeal the 2015 rule that had expanded the definition of the “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act was welcome news for agricultural groups.

“EPA and the Department of the Army finalized a rule to repeal the previous administration’s overreach in the federal regulation of U.S. waters and recodify the longstanding and familiar regulatory text that previously existed,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.

The Sept. 12 move sets the stage for a new WOTUS definition that will provide greater regulatory certainty for farmers, landowners, home builders and developers nationwide.

Agricultural organizations’ concerns stemmed from the 2015 rule that granted the federal government regulatory control over virtually any waters, including many land areas that only temporarily held water such as farm ditches, ephemeral drainages, agricultural ponds and isolated wetlands no matter how small.

The Clean Water Act jurisdiction previously included only “navigable” waters that would fall under outside federal control. Under the new ruling, jurisdictions will return to the regulatory framework that was in place prior to the 2015 WOTUS rule nationwide.

Here’s what farm group leaders and others said about the recent development: “Illinois farmers care deeply about the land and water where they farm, going above and beyond to implement voluntary efforts to maintain and protect water quality. Unfortunately, the 2015 Waters of the U.S. rule was unreasonable and unworkable. It complicated farmers’ conservation efforts and left farmers and land owners with little information as to which portions of their property fell under the government’s jurisdiction. While no regulation is perfect, and no rule can accommodate every concern, the 2015 rule was especially egregious.

We are now working to ensure a fair and reasonable substitute that will protect our land and our ability to work and care for the land.”

Richard Guebert Jr., president ILLINOIS FARM BUREAU

“We agree with the goal of assuring clean water, but in reality, the proposed rule was an unworkable and impractical regulation, especially for farmers and ranchers. Creeks, streams and ditches on our land were unduly subjected to a broad, one-size-fits-all regulatory definition that made no sense for individual farms and went beyond the intent of Congress. This is great news for soybean and other farmers.”

Davie Stephens, president AMERICAN SOYBEAN ASSOCIATION

“We are pleased the EPA has honored its commitment to withdraw a regulation that was overly burdensome and clearly outside the jurisdictional authority prescribed to the agency by Congress.

U.S. Poultry was part of the coalition of organizations that brought legal action against EPA following the rule’s issuance, in what is commonly called the American Farm Bureau lawsuit. We are very pleased to see the matter settled in this manner, without the need for additional litigation. We look forward to continuing to work with EPA to finalize a regulation that protects surface water quality in a manner that does not infringe on the fundamental rights of law-abiding landowners.”

John Starkey, president U.S. POULTRY AND EGG ASSOCIATION

“Repealing the WOTUS rule is a major win for American agriculture. The extreme overreach from the past administration had government taking the productivity of the land people had worked for years. Farmers and ranchers are exceptional stewards of the land, taking great care to preserve it for generations to come. President Trump is making good on his promise to reduce burdensome regulations to free our producers to do what they do best — feed, fuel, and clothe this nation and the world.”

Sonny Perdue, secretary U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Archer Daniels Midland Co.’s new flour mill in Mendota, Illinois, is the largest ever built from the ground up in North America.

A market for wheat New milling plant could add options for farmers

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MENDOTA, Ill. — With corn and soybean prices depressed, farmers in Illinois might soon be taking a look at another crop — wheat.

With the official opening of a new flour milling facility by Archer Daniels Midland Co. in Mendota, soft wheat might offer some opportunities for farmers in the region.

“When it comes to soft wheat, that will be the local draw. A lot of ground in this area has corn and soybeans, but there is also some wheat and our hopes are to increase the amount of soft wheat grown in this area,” said Kevin Like, president of ADM Milling, at the Sept. 18 ribbon cutting and open house for the plant, located on Illinois Route 34 and I-39 on the eastern edge of Mendota.

“Whenever you add domestic processing, it’s good for the farmer,” Like said.

One Illinois wheat grower who welcomed the new plant was Illinois Agriculture Director John Sullivan, who also farms in Schuyler County, raising corn, soybeans, wheat and cattle.

“It is just a thrill, as a farmer, to know there is an opportunity here at this facility for added value to our growing of grain here locally. It’s really a tremendous opportunity to have the ability to add value to our commodities,” Sullivan said.

SUPPLY SYSTEM Jim Harper, general manager of the ADM Mendota flour mill, has been a board member of the Illinois Wheat Association for over two years and member of the association itself for eight years. Harper came to the Mendota plant from an ADM plant in St. Louis.

“I think having a market for that wheat, that is what Mendota is going to bring from the soft wheat standpoint. We haven’t had a good market for our producers to be able to sell, and I think this is really going to give them that potential for a market, beyond going to the river or to a feed outlet,” Harper said.

Harper said the mill, which started production of flour in July, could offer opportunities for local farmers.

“We are making a value-added product here. We want high-quality wheat, grown in this area, and we pay good money for that wheat,” Harper said.

To produce the white and different varieties of whole wheat flour that it supplies to the restaurant and baking industries in the Chicagoland area, as well as northwest Indiana and eastern Iowa, the plant uses three types of wheat — hard wheat, spring wheat and soft wheat.

Hard wheat will originate from the Kansas and Nebraska areas, typically the nation’s W heat Belt. That region also encompasses the winter wheat producing areas of North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota and the upper Midwest and eastern Great Plains.

The new facility includes a loop railroad track with a 100car shuttle rail unloading facility, three bulk truck load outs and a rail load-out capability.

Soft wheat will provide the opportunity for growers in Illinois, Like said.

Much of the soft wheat grown in Illinois is grown in the southern part of the state and typically is grown in a rotation with soybeans, with the wheat being planted in the fall, after soybeans are harvested, and then being harvested in

the spring, prior to soybean planting.

“They said they will be buying and they are receptive to buying from Illinois wheat producers,” said Mike Doherty, executive director of the Illinois Wheat Association.

MARKET DEMAND Doherty said the presence of a flour milling plant of the sheer scale of the ADM Mendota plant could have a positive impact. The Mendota mill snags the record for being the largest flour mill ever built from the ground up at one time. It is expected to employ 30 to 40 employees.

“It’s bound to have a positive impact on prices. I do expect some, maybe small, but some lift in our Illinois delivered prices to mills as a result of this ADM plant opening here in Mendota,” Doherty said.

The Mendota flour milling facility can produce 3 million pounds of flour per day and has wheat storage capacity of 2.75 million bushels.

In addition to the flour, the plant also produces a livestock feed component, called mill feed, wheat middlings or midds. That byproduct is the bran that is separated from the wheat endosperm during the milling process.

Like said the company has a market for that byproduct, but the new location also could offer new opportunities for that, too.

“We already had a market for that from the Chicago location, but with our location being a bit more rural here, I think the market is only bigger here,” Like said.

Stoller breaks ground for new facility

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

HERSCHER, Ill. — Stoller International held a groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 20 celebrating the beginning of construction for a new facility on the north edge of this Kankakee County community.

The 31,500-square-foot facility will feature a showroom, offices, repair shop and parts department, as well as an onsite storage shed. Construction is slated to be completed in the spring of 2020.

The Stoller implement business has been in Herscher since 1993, when it purchased the Case IH dealership operated by the Hendrix family.

Stoller International also has central Illinois dealerships in Pontiac, Minonk, Streator and Ottawa.

“We’re excited what this will do for the community of Herscher. We know it will improve the appearance of the north side of the highway. We know it will improve the property tax base and hopefully will increase sales tax receipts.

And we hope that it will give all of our people here an opportunity to have more space to work and a more productive environment for service, parts and sales,” said Clark Stoller, owner/president.

“We’re thankful for the reception we’ve had for 26 years here in Herscher. We’ve come to the conclusion this is where we want to stay and by the grace of God that will be our plan.”

Lynn Stoller, owner/vice president, thanked the dealership employees and the village for its work with the company in helping make the new facility a reality.

“On Jan. 1, 1993, we moved

to this location that had been run by the Hendrix family. We had never expanded before and we didn’t know what we were getting into but in our first week of association here we met some people there that are still there and they’re very dear to our heart. We’re thankful to have all of you because if we didn’t have the confidence in this location we wouldn’t be building a new building,” Lynn Stoller said.

“We couldn’t have been more ecstatic when you purchased this piece of property and we were a lot more ecstatic that you’re building on this piece of property. The farm implement is important for the rural area and we are rural America,” said Herscher Mayor Ray Schneider.

CUSTOMERS BENEFITS Clark Stoller told AgriNews of the multiple benefits this new facility will have for customers and the community.

“By having larger doors, larger storage area, a more efficient shop, more up-to-date equipment, we’ll be able to turn the repair equipment around more quickly for the farmers to get them back into the field,” he said.

“We’ll have a storage shed onsite where combines and tractors can be brought in to store over winter and that will allows us to do inspections and/or repair on those machines during the winter and the customers don’t have to worry about bringing that machine in on salty roads.”

The new facility is located across the street from Herscher High School.

“I think that reinforces into any educational facility that this is a rural community and we have businesses like us and

there’s employment opportunities like us and perhaps some of the students will have a vision that they can someday be involved in the farm equipment industry,” Stoller said.

“It’s a stable industry. It’s been here since Cyrus McCormick invented the reaper and mechanization has continued to improve and now electronics, hydraulics and the GPS ability for farmers to be able to drive without using their steering wheel to be able to have perfect guidance, those are all things that need the next generation to service them and that’s opportunities for all young people.”

HORSE POWER The Stoller company has been in business in central Illinois for 85 years, and the family and employees have experienced firsthand the rapid technological advancements in the implement industry.

Clark Stoller said the first 12 sales his father, Clarence, had each involved the trade-in of a team of horses.

“You had to keep a pasture close to the store. Now we’re to the point where we’re not even using a steering wheel. We’re having guidance from a satellite and very, very advanced,” he said.

“We have combines that will reset themselves when you go from one crop to the other.

Now you just push a button and it will set itself. We have the quick-attach heads and the folding heads and the transportability of today’s machinery is very advanced.

FRANKFORT, Ind. — Clinton County commissioners upheld a moratorium against wind turbines Sept. 16, continuing its ban on wind farms.

The moratorium has been in place since February 2017.

Tim Wyrick, a sixth-generation Clinton County farmer, was disappointed in the decision.

“It’s a very good project and a great paying contract,” he said.

“It was going to pay our county $30 million over a 30-year period of time.

“Opposition to this project convinced our county commissioners not to lift the moratorium and to leave that in place.

So, we’re going to be married to (high) property taxes in this county.”

E.ON, a Chicago-based renewable energy company, held an open house Sept. 12 to spread facts about the proposed wind energy project. More than 250 Clinton County residents showed up.

The proposal includes 35 to 52 wind turbines spread over 39,000 acres. According to an independent study, it would help take the county budget from a projected $1.1 million deficit to a $2.5 million surplus by 2023.

Responsible Harvest of Clinton County, a non-profit group whose members do not approve of the project, voiced its opinion on its website and on social media.

“Clinton County presents a much different situation than most communities facing wind development, as we have nearly four times the population of Benton County,” said an official statement from the group.

“Furthermore, we are surrounded by three of the fastest growing communities in the state, and a wind project with setbacks from a residence instead of a property line, would effectively kill any future growth.”

Research award to entomologist

By Ashley Langreck

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — The 2019 Purdue University Agriculture Research Award was presented to Ian Kaplan, professor of entomology at Purdue.

The award, which has been presented annually since 1982, is the highest honor that is awarded to mid-career faculty members in the College of Agriculture in recognition of research and accomplishments.

Kaplan, who has been working at Purdue since 2009, received the award for his 10 years of research studying insects.

“My lab works on studying insect ecology in agriculture and working broadly in different areas of pest management and sustainability of pollinators and pollinator health,” Kaplan Kaplan said.

Kaplan said he does a lot of research and work in exploring insect ecology in a lot of different cropping systems, including tomatoes and cucurbits – watermelon, pumpkins and squash.

The entomologist said he also studies insects that affect plants growing in high tunnels, in organic settings and in conventional fields.

“I am very grateful to the college of agriculture and Purdue.

They have been very helpful to my career, and it is a very collaborative environment,” he said.

Kaplan added that it is great to be recognized for his work.

“Purdue is a great place to work, especially in agriculture,” he said.

Perdue shares Trump call-in at farm show ‘Mr. President, we’re having an interview with Max and Orion’

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Normally, during a live taping of “This Week in Agribusiness,” a guest taking a phone call might be frowned up.

But legendary farm broadcasters Orion Samuelson and Max Armstrong were willing to cut a break for their special guest at the 2019 Farm Progress Show — as well as for the person calling him.

“Mr. President, we’re having an interview with Max and Orion here,” said Sonny Perdue, U.S. secretary of agriculture, on stage with the duo on the second day of the farm show.

Just minutes earlier, Perdue’s phone bleated and he took it out, apologizing to the two.

“I have to take this,” he announced. “It’s the White House.”

Then the audience packed to see and hear Perdue got a bonus as Trump chatted with his ag secretary about some top ag matters.

“Essentially, I can make a quick deal with China, and I could turn that deal into a tremendous amount of agricultural products. I could do it immediately, and I’d be a hero. I would easily win the election, but that would be the wrong deal,” Trump said.

The president then presented an alternative.

“Or, I could do it the right way, which should have been done over the last 35 years and do it the way we are doing it now, stay the course. China is now losing their jobs, they are losing their companies and they want to make a deal. They

Sonny Perdue, U.S. secretary of agriculture, had to answer a phone call from the White House during a live taping at the 2019 Farm Progress Show with farm broadcasters Orion Samuelson and Max Armstrong.

They want to make a deal. So, I could make a quick one and look like a hero, or I can do it the right way, but it will take a little time,” he said.

CAMPAIGN TRAIL Trump also took some swipes at some of his competitors on the Democratic side for the 2020 presidential vote.

“They would rather deal with sleepy Joe Biden than deal with me,” he told the two farm broadcasters.

“They want to wait for a Democrat. They want to have a Democrat get in. But you know what will happen? Within two seconds after I win the election, we’ll make the greatest deal you’ve ever seen. It may happen

before then,” Trump said.

“Well, we hope so. Mr. President, these farmers are longterm players,” Perdue responded.

Trump also reminded his audience of the two Market Facilitation Program payments that have been authorized under his administration, to reimburse farmers for economic damage suffered by the ongoing trade war with China.

“I’ve given the farmers — the year before last I gave them, Sonny, I believe it was $12 billion, and this year I gave them $16 billion to make up for the difference because China targeted our farmers, thinking they could get to me because they know I love the farmers,” he said.

Trump also took shots at the

media, despite Perdue taking the call during a live taping of a farm show.

“I sometimes see where these horrible, dishonest reporters will say that, oh, gee, the farmers are upset. Well, they can’t be too upset because I gave them $12 billion and I gave them $16 billion and it all came out of the tariffs and we have a lot of money left over,” Trump said.

Trade, tariffs and biofuels dominate forum questions

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Questions about trade and tariffs, biofuels and livestock disease prevention dominated the 2019 Farm Progress Show ag policy forum.

Representatives of all the major Illinois agriculture commodity groups spoke to a panel that consisted of U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue, and U.S. Reps. John Shimkus, Rodney Davis, Mike Bost and Darin LaHood.

“To have Secretary Perdue here not only two years ago, but to come back and hear from you again, I think that’s a testament to the administration and really a testament to Secretary Perdue on how he wants to interact with our farmers and our producers,” said Davis as he welcomed guests to the forum and to the show, which happens to be in his congressional district.

Following are excerpts of some of the questions and comments and the answers from Perdue and others.

Illinois Farm Bureau Vice President Brian Duncan, Polo: “We’ve had members express some great concerns about the (National Agricultural Statistics Service) report and its accuracy, their methodologies, specifically, how they include prevented plant acres in the corn acres and how will that work and is NASS open to becoming more data driven?

“We wonder about the methodology, the acres and then also the calculation for yield. Did NASS take into account the late planting when they figured the yield on this year’s corn crop?

“Universities usually have a graph that shows later planting equals lower yield. Has NASS considered that and can you just talk a little big about NASS’ methodology, your confidence in it and their openness to becoming better, by making it more data driven?”

Perdue: “I think it’s always interesting to really think about a conspiratorial effort at NASS to decrease the market, and I think that’s what happens when you have NASS data that doesn’t line up with what industry data is.

PERDUE FROM PAGE ONE

“Are they anxious? Absolutely.

It’s not fun to be under economic distress. There’s no doubt there.

But what I think the media is

AGRINEWS PHOTO/JEANNINE OTTO

Sonny Perdue (second from right) was joined by Republican members of Congress from Illinois – including U.S. Reps.

Mike Bost (from left), Darin LaHood and Rodney Davis — at an agricultural policy forum at the 2019 Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois. The U.S. secretary of agriculture took questions from audience members who represented a cross section of Illinois farming and agricultural interests.

“This last (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates) report was probably one of the widest differences between what industry was expecting and what they had done. I called NASS in and I asked them many of the questions.

“As you might imagine, I have to be very careful; they should not be subject to any kind of political influence. It ought to be about the facts, it ought to be about the data and I can’t, I don’t and I should not jawbone them about which way we want the market to go, so I hope you appreciate that.

“What I can tell you is, while there is typically, almost every year, some allegations that NASS doesn’t know what they are doing and their numbers are just crazy, if you go back and look historically, you will find that, more than not, the vast majority of the time, their numbers come out more true than maybe what some people might have alleged earlier.”

Illinois Pork Producers Association President Pam Janssen, Minonk: “We are out here trying to survive and with the tariff issue with China, what can we do? We thank you for the Market Facilitation Program that you have put into place and the work you’ve done with Japan. So, where do we go from here with the tariff issues coming back to China?”

Perdue: “The ball is in China’s court regarding their tariff situation. We don’t know what

they’re going to do. The president gets signals from time to time, as you saw this last week, of them wanting a deal.

“They are kind of torn between their hardliners, and I think (Chinese) President Xi (Jinping) really wanted to do trade, understanding their economy is hurting.

“I think pork producers are going to be very benefited by the Japan agreement, the details will be announced soon. We are saying right now we have an agreement in principle. But I can tell you that pork and beef producers ought to be pretty happy about that and most everyone else.”

Illinois Soybean Association Board Member David Wessel, Chandlerville: “We have a neighbor to the south that we have been working very hard on for the last several years and Illinois has been a leader with that and that is Cuba.

“And we would like to know what we can do to get a better foothold and policies in our government that would help us make Cuba — help us expand those markets there in that region.”

Perdue: “I would love for you all to tell me what the demand that you see or what the demand potential is from Cuba. I know many states have taken delegations down there. When I was governor, I took a delegation down to Cuba.

“It almost appears to be sort of a mythical market there. I know the rice people like it

and the poultry people like it, but I really wonder what the demand potential is from Cuba. I’m not dismissing Cuba. I just don’t think they are the silver bullet from that perspective at all.”

American Soybean Association National Director Rob Shaffer, El Paso: “My question goes to the dollar tax credit. We’ve been 20 months without the biodiesel tax credit. How long can plants go without that tax credit?

“We’ve lost six plants in the last month, between corn oil and soybean oil, 250 million gallons have been lost because of (small refinery exemptions) and also no tax credit. What is the administration’s stance on how do we stop the SREs or get a better allocation of volumes and also, where are we at with the biodiesel tax credit?”

Perdue: “I’ll respond to the SRE question. My four friends up here will respond to the tax credit. I wish I could be more descriptive. I don’t stonewall very well, but this is news that the president wants to deliver over the mitigation of these SREs going forward.

“We need help. Let’s think about how we grow demand, and that’s infrastructure. I presented some plans to him over infrastructure growth. One other idea I suggested was we take off these orange skull and crossbones on the E15 pumps and let the E10 pumps go to E15. This is the sort of thing we could grow ourselves out of if

trying to make out as farmers are leaving President Trump and his decisions is not accurate whatsoever,” Perdue said.

Perdue also lavished his own praise on the country’s farmers and ranchers.

“I don’t know there’s any sector in the economy that is as re-

silient as agriculture. These are people that just keep on keeping on and I am amazed by their persistence and their resilience and their patience and their patriotism, honestly. It’s a real tribute to the American spirit,” Perdue said.

The agriculture secretary add-

ed that those same characteristics are what his boss admires about a large portion of his base.

“I think that is absolutely what President Trump senses about the American farmer and rancher is that they are the essence of the American spirit that built this country and I think

we give the customer a choice between E15 and E10 and build demand.

“We say we lose these plants.

Obviously, manufacturing plants shutter for a period of time when margin profitability is not there. We would hope these things come back as the markets go, but it’s a tough time out there for farming and a tough time for ethanol production.”

LaHood: “Thanks for your question on the biodiesel tax credit. We passed it out of House Ways and Means. It will come to the House floor.

I am optimistic when it gets to the Senate, Senator (Chuck) Grassley is very supportive.

We’ve worked with him on that.

But we haven’t gotten it done yet.

“We have a responsibility and an obligation before the end of the year to get it done. We are already 10 months behind. I understand the anxiety and the uneasiness out there right now, but when we get back, we’ll get it on the floor and get it passed and we’re going to work to get it done by the end of the year.”

Illinois Manufacturers Association President and CEO Mark Denzler, Springfield: “What are the prospects of getting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement done, resolving the China issue? We need a TransPacific Partnership.

“Ninety-five percent of the world’s consumers live outside the United States and so if we could get some more comment on what do you think the prospects are of getting some of these trade agreements?”

Perdue: “I personally think if the Speaker (Nancy Pelosi) brought it to the floor, and that’s her call, she obviously desires to have a majority of her caucus and I think we have a majority of our caucus there, but I think it would pass pretty easily in the House today.

“It is chapter by chapter, line by line, verse by verse better than the NAFTA agreement we have. We think President Trump did what he said he was going to do. We’re going to get a better agreement that way.

Hopefully, we will get that done soon when Congress returns to D.C.” that’s why he has a fondness and affection for them. I think that’s why he feels capable of pursuing the deal with China, because he knows that these folks are longterm players and they don’t like cheaters,” Perdue said.

THE ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY IN HERBICIDE APPLICATIONS metribuzin product at planting, or as a pre-emergence application, will give farmers the power to combat glyphosate-resistant grasses and broadleaf weeds with no plant back restrictions.

Herbicide resistance a growing problem

FEDERAL RESERVE SURVEY

Crop, trade concerns in districts

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MACOMB, Ill. — As farmers’ thoughts turn to harvest, they also may want to mark one more thing on the fall “to-do” list for their fields, including fallow and prevented plant acres.

“Considering a fall applied herbicide program could be something that could be really beneficial this fall, especially considering if we can’t get the marestail under control because we’ve lost the effectiveness of glyphosate. Generally speaking, in the fall of the year, we could use fairly inexpensive products,” said Aaron Hager, professor of weed science at the University of Illinois.

Hager spoke to the Western Illinois University Agronomy Day audience on weeds and herbicide resistance.

One area of resistance that he and other researchers are keeping a close eye on is a growing resistance to Group 15 herbicides.

“Farmers would recognize names like Harness, Dual Magnum, Zidua, Outlook. Those would be the Group 15 products.

Essentially what we have found is at least two populations that we can confirm, they actually are resistant to these products,” Hager said.

Hager said one consideration for farmers is that the Group 15 resistance could lessen the time that residual herbicides control weeds in fields.

“The practical implications, if this becomes more widespread, it’s going to make things like scouting after crop emergence more important. If we just expect that we are going to get four to five weeks of residual control, but the resistance evolves, that could be down to three weeks — or even less than that,” Hager said.

Hager said Hager plants are developing unique ways to outrun herbicides.

“Basically, these plants are stacking these types of resistances, so it’s very difficult for us anymore to screen wild populations of waterhemp and find only resistance to one class of herbicides. We are finding individual plants that are resistant to three and four and five and up to six different classes of herbicides,” he said.

NEXT STEPS When it comes to 2019 fields, Hager said spring planting conditions and the excessively prolonged wet field conditions could make a perfect storm for weed infestations moving forward.

“We were delayed in planting and if we are delayed in planting, many times, any sort of a preplant weed control program or approach was also delayed.

Many fields were infested with winter annual species with the delays we had in trying to get these fields under control, many of the winter annuals successfully produced seed this spring.

That seed is going to be in the soil seed bank come this fall,” he said.

Hager said one option is to consider a fall-applied weed control system.

“For example, 2,4-D Ester, if we apply that at a quart rate in the fall after many of the winter annuals have germinated and emerged, it can be very, very effective, much more effective than trying to control some of the winter annuals in the spring of the year, with only using a pint,” he said.

Farmers may see the weed impacts of this year for years to come.

“Unfortunately, when you have weed seeds that successfully produce seed, not all of that seed is going to germinate the following year. Weeds have different mechanisms of seed dormancy that ensures the seeds tend to hang around in the soil for a long time. There’s an old adage that goes ‘one year’s seeding is seven years weeding,” and that is very applicable, especially with something like waterhemp,” Hager said.

Technology in action Precision Institute draws thousands

PONTIAC, Ill. — On any given weekday from July through September, motorists passing the west edge of this Livingston County seat saw planters rolling in the field and a parking area packed with vehicles with plates from across the nation.

The Precision Technology Institute is in its second year and provided an educational research site visited by U.S. and international farmers and others in the agricultural industry.

It currently features just under 100 field trials across 315 acres.

As a small sample set, PTI hosted growers from Ukraine and South Africa on Aug. 26, and visitors from Canada, France, Germany, New Mexico, Michigan, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota and Indiana the following day when the Farm Progress Show opened.

Jason Webster, agronomist and manager of the Precision Planting facility, took a rare break during a recent tour of the site to discuss the institute’s success.

out and they plant. We have planters rolling every single day. Growers climb up in the cab and are with members of our product support team which I think is critical because that way they can ask questions, see how everything works and figure out agronomically if that’s something that they need on their farm.

Demonstrating farm equipment is hard. I’ve had farm equipment dealers here this year where I ask them as a farmer how do I come to your lot and say that’s a pretty nice planter, bring it to my farm and let me demo it. That doesn’t happen. It’s just too difficult to do.

Now growers can come here. It’s all free of charge.

They can climb up in a new tractor, check out a new planter, check out an attachment for a planter and see if they like it. They can kind of kick the tires and they’re not writing a big fat check for it.

They can figure out if they want or need it.

We then installed field tile so when it rains the water goes through the soil profile, it goes through the tile that we have buried 36 inches deep, it runs into our main and deposits into the farm reservoir that we dug.

We hold that water for dear life because we have every intention of recycling that rainwater to pump back out and irrigate our trials here on the farm.

So, this main campus has got 200 acres on it and our goal for 2020 is to have half of it irrigated from the farm reservoir.

We also use Wal-Mart’s retention pond where when it rains all of the water from the parking lot goes into their retention pond, and we have permission to pump water out of it. This is our second year doing that and it’s worked out great.

You’ve been involved in on-farm research for years. What are some of the biggest surprises you found in on-farm trials?

August and September come

CHICAGO — The Federal Reserve Districts reported that the economy expanded at a modest pace through the end of August, but concerns regarding tariffs and trade policy uncertainty continued, particularly in agriculture.

The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book featured a summary of the current economic conditions across 12 Federal Reserve Districts based on information collected in August.

“Farm income prospects improved some, but remained poor for most agriculture sectors.

Expectations for corn and soybean output improved some, but were still much lower compared to a year ago, and the condition of crops was highly variable,” the Seventh Federal Reserve District of Chicago survey noted.

The district includes the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana and all of Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.

“Crop development was as much as a month behind normal because the wet spring delayed planting. Prices for corn and soybeans declined. Egg and dairy prices moved higher, while hog and cattle prices moved lower.

Contacts noted that another round of payments from the Market Facilitation Program, along with other government programs, were helping to make up for low farm incomes.”

Agricultural conditions in the district served by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis were down modestly from the July reporting period. The district includes the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana and eastern half of Missouri, as well as parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi.

“Compared with mid-July, the percentages of cotton and rice rated fair or better declined modestly, while those for corn and soybeans declined slightly.

Relative to the previous year, the percentage of all four crops rated fair or better declined moderately,” the St. Louis District reported.

“District contacts indicated that farming conditions remained strained due to low commodity prices and lingering effects from the unusually wet weather and flooding in the spring. New government assistance to farmers is expected to provide some short-term alleviation.”

RALLY OPTIMISM District agricultural conditions remained weak in the Federal Reserve District of Minneapolis. However, some contacts expressed optimism about a recent rally in commodity prices.

“Recent estimates lowered the planted acreage and expected production for corn, soybean and spring wheat in district states compared with last year, due in part to heavy rains and flooding,” the Minneapolis district’s survey stated.

Respondents to the Minneapolis Fed’s second-quarter survey of agricultural credit conditions indicated that farm income and capital spending decreased relative to a year earlier, with further declines expected for the coming three months.

SUPPLY, TRADE The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City stated the farm economy remained weak, and commodity prices declined in response to supply expectations and trade uncertainty.

“Regional contacts reported weak farm income in the most recent survey period, but expected slower deterioration in the coming months. Less pessimistic expectations in the second quarter were supported by increases in crop prices earlier in the year,” according to the Kansas City district survey.

“However, sharp declines in crop and livestock prices in August weighed on farm revenues.

“Hog and soybean prices declined moderately alongside ongoing trade disputes and cattle prices decreased sharply following a substantial disruption at a major beef processing facility located in the district.

Corn and wheat prices also declined sharply following higher-than-anticipated production estimates.”

Nate Peterson pulls a sample of his beer in the brewery at Wishful Acres. Changing the temperature during the fermenting process, he says, can make a huge difference in the mouth feel of the beer.

Tap into fun in former dairy barn

By Martha Blum AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LENA, Ill. — A home brewing beer kit purchased in 2009 has developed into artisan craft micro-brewery operated

by Nate and Penny Peterson.

“Nate was getting more and more into craft beef, so for his birthday in 2009 I got him a kit,” said Penny Peterson about her husband. “He loved it immediately.”

“I didn’t even have the first batch in the fermenter, and I ordered three more kits,” Nate added.

“I was brewing beer about every weekend, so the next logical step was to open a brewery.”

At the time, the Petersons lived in Freeport and wished for a farm. In January 2011, their goal to buy a farm became a reality when they purchased a 10-acre farm near Lena.

“That’s how we came up with the name of Wishful Acres Farm because we wished for a farm,” Penny said.

However, the farm they bought was quite a mess since it had been vacant for three years.

“There were animals in the house, holes in all the roofs of the buildings and weeds neck high so you could hardly see this barn,” Penny said.

GETTING STARTED Prior to moving to their farm, the Petersons grew organic vegetables on rented land, and they sold the vegetables at the Freeport farmers market.

“We jumped right in that first year and continued with the farmers market in Freeport, added the Rockford farmers market and started a CSA program,” Penny said.

In 2012, a big expansion was planned for the vegetable production along with the addition of chickens, pastured pigs and goats.

“Then the drought hit and the vegetables were smaller, the quantity was less, so I pulled out of the farmers markets in July and only continued the CSA,” Penny said.

“That was the worst possible year to expand a farm business, and after that I pulled back to just the CSAs.” From the time the Petersons first moved to their farm they talked about establishing a brewery, and in 2015

they felt ready to make that move. They filed the necessary federal, state and county paperwork to transform a former dairy barn into a taproom bar and brewery.

“I think this was a calf barn, and you can still see the ridges in the floor,” Penny said. “One of our customers brought in old photos of the farm when she lived here.”

The Petersons used a Farm Service Agency loan to renovate the barn and install a commercial kitchen.

“We did it all ourselves, except the plumbing,” Penny said.

“This area had been used as a recording studio, and it had rooms with big glass windows that were glued in,” Nate said. “We had to shatter the glass to remove them.”

Wishful Acres Farm & Brewery opened on Oct. 1, 2016.

“We incorporate a lot of the things we grow on the farm into the beer,” Penny said. “We just harvested hops last week, but we don’t have enough to make all our beer, so our fresh hops are in one special batch of beer.”

Bees also are part of the Wishful Acres, and the honey is used to make the honey wheat beer.

“The beers on tap change constantly,” Nate said. “We have 11 beers on tap and root beer and almost all rotate out except honey wheat and peach that we keep on tap all the time.”

The craft brewery offers stouts, Belgium style and IPA beers to name a few.

“Nate has made close to 100 different beers,” Penny said. “He brews beer once a week, and that’s a nice pace with our sales.”

WATERLOO, Ind. — The Amazing Fall Fun Corn Maze in Waterloo is a picturesque getaway for families this autumn.

The 17-acre maze was designed in honor of the 25th anniversary of Disney’s “The Lion King.” The maze will be open through Oct. 27. A smaller, fairytale-themed corn maze is available for little adventurers.

Admission is $8 per person, and an additional $2 for the hayride. Ages 2 and

Amazing Fall Fun Corn Maze, 3150 County Road 43, Waterloo, Indiana.

Open through Oct. 27, 6 to 10 p.m. Fridays, noon to 10 p.m. Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. www.amazingfallfun.com

under are free.

Other activities at the farm include a seven-acre pumpkin patch, farm animals, hay rides, duck races, a straw mountain and more. Apple cider slushies

and farm fresh food will be sold from a food truck.

Visitors can choose from pre-picked pumpkins or u-pick pumpkins at the patch.

PUMPKIN-PICKING TIPS 1. If you decide to pick your own pumpkins, grab a wagon or wheelbarrow to help haul your pumpkins out.

2. Take some time to explore the many varieties of pumpkins offered.

3. Be careful not to damage the stem when picking your pumpkin. Find the joint where the stem

turns to vine. Bending the vine at this weak spot is the best way to disconnect the stem from the vine.

4. Bring your pumpkin to the red ticket booth to be priced before you exit. If you are unsure about the price of a pumpkin, use the pricing guide located near the pumpkin patch for help.

Flower Growers Conference Oct. 17 at Purdue University

By Ashley Langreck AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — The annual Indiana Flower Growers Association Conference is set for Oct. 17 at Purdue University.

“The purpose of the conference is the yearly opportunity for f lower growers across the state to gather together for a day of learning new Purdue researched practices to take back and use in their businesses,” said Lori Jolly-Brown, Purdue Extension events and communications coordinator

with the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Department.

The all-day conference will focus on issues pertinent to the floriculture and horticulture industries, including monitoring germination, height and compactness of bedding plant seedlings using cheap cameras and estimating the nitrogen content in plants, as well as calculating greenhouse heating costs during winter plant production.

“We will have classroom-style teaching in the morning and hands-on activities in the afternoon in our Horticulture

Landscape and Architecture greenhouse,” JollyBrown said.

Some of the hands-on activities include identifying nutrient deficiencies in greenhouse crops, as well as learning how light spectral composition affects growth of seedlings and cuttings.

“It’s also a wonderful networking opportunity, and we make room for a fun activity during lunch time. We encourage students to attend, as well,” Jolly-Brown said.

For more information about the event, or to register, contact Jolly-Brown at ljollybr@purdue.edu.

From The Fields FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD. THE BOLD FAVOR AGRIGOLD. Have faith in God As I look out across the fields behind the house, I’m reminded of the message that was given at Schrock Farms’ Blessings of the Harvest this past Friday from Galatians 6:9: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” After a late spring planting and a slow start to the growing season, we faced many challenges. We must put our faith in God that he will provide, and we must be thankful for the opportunities he has given us.

Our farm eagerly awaits the men and women from across the state of Indiana and few visitors from out of state that wish to join us for another annual husking competition on Oct. 5.

This is our sixth year hosting the Indiana State Hand Corn Husking Contest. We plan to have an activity area for kids and young adults, tractors from the past and present and farm animal petting area. We are still seeking additional horse teams, but we will use tractors to pull wagons, if needed.

Our soybeans have dropped 25% of the leaves and seem to be approaching maturity faster than the corn. The corn is rattling pretty good with the stiff breeze as storms roll in this evening from the west. Hopefully, we don’t see extensive flooding.

All of the hay equipment is put away, except the wheel rake.

After work each night this past week, I had a few custom hay raking jobs. I hope to rake cornstalk up and bale some in October. There was lot of hay

baled in the area, a few guys have started shelling corn and others have started to chop corn silage.

Wednesday, I attended the 75th annual St. Joseph County Farm Bureau meeting at Hedwig Memorial Center in South Bend for a meal, election of board members and trivia entertainment with other fellow Farm Bureau members. Luckily, we still have a few dairies left in St. Joseph County as I was elected back as dairy committee chairperson.

From the construction side, we concluded this past week with exterior and interior walls on the second floor and a set of stairs from the first floor to the second floor. We also put drywall backer in and hung wall brackets on outside walls to hold walk planks, so we have a place to walk while setting trusses. Hopefully, we will get trusses delivered soon.

Close call on road Some weeks you think you have a plan and everything figured out. Last week started out great.

Finished a project up north, then started getting equipment moved out.

Took off on Tuesday to the Ohio Farm Science Review. I always enjoy that show as it’s a little smaller, not near as crowded and, obviously, closer to home than the others. Took some time and helped the guys with the tile demonstration stuff that they do over there. The guys from Ohio Land Improvement Contractors Association do a great job of putting on a demon-

guide, which is a friend that lives down there. He took us out, and we drove down the levee protecting the river bottoms from the Mississippi River.

It would completely blow your mind to see all the acres that have been under feet of water for most of the summer. Even walked through a grain facility that is on the river side of the levee, and it had more water in it than in the ‘93 flood. I have never been down through there, and it really made me thankful to farm high ground like we do, but to also have a crop to harvest and be able to have a bit more stability to what we are doing. The trip was a lot of fun and very humbling.

Hope everyone has a safe week. If all goes well, hopefully, we will be trying to knock some rust off a combine this week and try some corn. But we are not far from having beans ready also. Harvest is just around the corner. Be safe and wear your seatbelts.

stration of best practices for anyone interested in drainage tile, whether you do it yourself or hiring it done.

Wednesday started off like any other day. We were trying to do some truck repairs and get side ditches mowed, along with get stuff ready for harvest and finish cleaning out our last of the wheat we had in the bins.

Dad took off with the last load of wheat, and we all assumed our day would continue without issue. We were wrong.

Just before he got out to the highway, he slipped off the edge of our terrible-condition county road. With the weight of the truck and the motion he had going, then trying to get it corrected and back on the road, he ended up laying the truck over. Thankfully, he was fine. He wore his seatbelt like always, and that probably saved his life. The truck is in really bad shape, and the trailer is destroyed. We are all just thankful he is OK and is still with us. The truck and trailer can be replaced. This serves as a reminder to all of us that we have to be careful. We can’t control everything, but we can do our best to protect ourselves.

The road condition has been an issue for years and not getting any better. They continue to cause the drop-off on the edge of the road to be worse all the time with zero solutions.

Let’s all be safe out there and be cautious. I tell the guys if you need to stop to pass someone to be safe and then do it. There is no reason to risk it.

I did have the opportunity on Friday to travel to southern Illinois and see how bad things are for guys down along the river on the east side of St. Louis. We had a great tour

ARLINGTON

Field fire warning Harvest continued Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Moisture is about 23%, test weights are over 60 pounds and bushels are higher than expected. Thursday and Friday, we came out of the field to haul to the elevator.

We had contracts to fill before the end of September, and the elevator is due to be closed all this week. Go figure. We actually took the weekend off to let the cornfield dry. We have been without a measurable rain for over a month.

Indiana Crop Progress for week ending Sept. 15 Late planted Indiana corn and soybeans continued to suffer due to lack of adequate rainfall last week, according to Greg Matli, State Statistician, USDA NASS, Indiana Field Office.

Below-average precipitation

for the week, coupled with warm, and in some cases hot, weather negatively affected grain and pod fill in late planted corn and soybeans. On early to mid-season planted corn and soybeans, the heat was welcomed as additional growing

degree days were needed to hasten maturity.

Corn and soybean conditions slid last week. Seed corn and silage harvest continued. A few farmers began to shell some of their earliest planted corn, though combines were very few

and far between. Commercial tomato harvest continued.

Apple harvest began.

Source: USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Great Lakes Regional Field Office.

It is very dry. The ground is cracked and the fire department called and asked if we would have a tractor and disk available if needed to help put out field fires. It is that dry and equally as hot.

I took a quick four-day trip to The Emerald Coast with four girlfriends. We had a glorious time in the sand and surf, celebrating two birthdays. Our oldest grandson played his last soccer game for the season. I still don’t understand the desire to run and run and run up and down the field kicking a ball, but he loves it. We have a chance for rain early Monday morning but the percentages get lower with every forecast.

If it doesn’t rain, we will hit it hard again this week in the field.

My safety tip this week deals with tired farmers. Mark runs nonstop, usually 14 to 16 hours a day during harvest. That leaves little time for rest and sleep. Make sure your farmer takes a break during the day.

Make them get out of the combine, tractor or truck by delivering fresh baked cookies, a can of pop, or cup of coffee. They need to stretch their legs and breathe in the fresh autumn air. They need to know you are watching out for their wellbeing.

I’m fortunate. I can do this for Mark. Some of you ladies are right there with them in the machinery all day long. In that case, take a break together.

Make a set time to take five minutes to stop the machinery and take that break. The corn and beans will wait. Your life and the life of those you love are worth it. As always, be safe and have a good week.

From the Field with AgriGold:

Overcoming 2019 Yield Robbers in 2020 While growers tend to expect the unexpected from each growing season, 2019 was definitely one for the books. Heavy rainfall and unfavorable planting conditions were probably the biggest yield robbers of the season, contributing to soil compaction, slow emergence, underdeveloped roots and uneven ear development.

These factors underscored the importance of selecting vigorous traits that tolerate extreme weather and stress.

“Genetic selection and hybrid placement are critical to maximizing yields in years of extreme stress,” explained Kevin Gale, AgriGold regional agronomist. “Choosing products with good root development and wet feet tolerance allows plants to stand well into harvest and yield well in less than ideal conditions.”

According to Gale and fellow Regional Agronomist Austin Merz, nitrogen deficiency, root lodging, Fusarium, Physoderma brown spot, node rot and tar spot were other big challenges that invaded fields, many tied to the excessive moisture.

“Farmers need to be on top of their game to keep up with everything Mother Nature throws at us,” said Merz.

“Those who were organized and ready to go with plans B and C definitely excelled this year.”

Merz and Gale agree that, while it’s unlikely to repeat a year like this one, analyzing data and adopting new strategies only helps overcome yield barriers in the future. Here are their top pieces of advice for growers looking ahead to 2020.

Nitrogen deficiency was probably the most notable challenge across the Midwest.

Rescue nitrogen treatments and split applications help correct issues.

“Corn fields that received multiple shots of nitrogen throughout the season definitely stand out in their appearance and yield potential. Nitrogen management planning using the right time, right placement and right product should pay off with huge returns,” said Merz.

“WE’VE BEEN FARMING 4,000 ACRES FOR FIVE GENERATIONS S. WE HAVE A LOT OF SOIL TYPES, TILLLED OR NOT, AND TOUGHER TI SO OIL IL.. WH W EN WE LOOK AT WH HAT COU O LD PERFORM BEST, AG GRIGO GOLD PLAYS A ROLE IN WHER RE TO PLACE SEED.” – Kyl Kyl yle e Bradley, grower, Trafalgar, IN

He recommends that growers seeking ways to enhance their fertility plans use a digital platform like Advantage Acre®, which offers several benefits outside of nitrogen modeling.

It also helps predict weather patterns and provides insights for customized seed plans.

Gale adds that some hybrids actually require more nitrogen post pollination.

Understanding genetic families through a system like AgriGold’s Field GX™ helps growers know which products respond to late nitrogen applications to increase overall yields.

Finally, Merz recommends examining aerial imagery to pinpoint problem areas.

“Growers can look at these images, find the unhealthy areas of each field and then dig into what might be causing them,” said Merz.

“This is especially key for those who suspect drainage might be needed to remove excess water for future seasons.”

YOU MAKE IT YOUR GOAL. WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

USMEF hopeful for trade pact

By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

TOKYO — A delegation from the U.S. Meat Export Federation recently traveled to Japan to promote U.S. meat interests and talk to Japanese importers and meat industry officials about building market share and interest for U.S. grain-fed beef and pork.

Dan Halstrom, USMEF president and CEO, discussed what the U.S. delegation was seeing and hearing about U.S. beef and pork in Japan during a conference call.

Do you have any additional information on Japan importing more U.S. corn, as was mentioned by President Donald Trump during his press conference with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe? I think we heard the same information. I don’t think we heard anything specific on corn, but we are hopeful because we are hearing the same reports in the press that there could be a deal done on corn, but I don’t think we’ve heard anything specific in the few days that we’ve been here.

Are you hearing what a timeline would look like before you get a final agreement and the duties on U.S. beef and pork actually come down?

I think it’s probably premature to speculate on what the timeline is. Of course, we hope it’s sooner rather than later, and I think that’s the hope of everyone over here. The planning that we are doing all has the same question mark. We are not sure exactly when we will be able to implement it, but we are hoping it is sooner rather than later.

What do the steps to regain lost market share look like?

I think the key point here is we have commitments from our major funding sources, both checkoffs, as well as some of our government revenue, for this very purpose

Mor Ad a m

“As far as the outlook for 2020, I think we are very positive in terms of increased growth, on both beef and pork.”

— to be ready, when we are on a level playing field in Japan, to regain some of that lost share.

Specifically, the sector we are most interested in is the chilled segment, the table meat market that goes out chilled, which spreads across many sectors, but I would say the national retail sector and the regional retail sector are the two sectors that the chilled table meat product would go most into, on both beef and pork. That would probably be the first areas we are focused on.

Do you think this agreement will be a springboard to other agreements?

We hope it could be a springboard for other agreements. Quite frankly, we are focused on just getting the Japan agreement first.

What is your outlook for beef exports for 2020?

As far as the outlook for 2020, I think we are very positive in terms of increased growth, on both beef and pork. Our assumption is that sometime in 2020, this agreement will be in place and we will be reaping the benefits.

In general, the U.S. is very well positioned from a supply standpoint. We have record production of beef and pork, very well positioned to supply some of these shortfalls and increase protein demand around the world, not only in Japan. So, we are feeling pretty positive about 2020 given the current state of the demand situation.

What kind of dollar figure can you assign to this and what does the Japan deal mean to U.S. cattlemen?

We’ve seen our exports go a little bit slack, I would say, in terms of performance this year compared to the prior year, which was a record.

We are hearing that back from buyers right now is that the 12% price differential in tariff is having an impact.

Japan has always been price sensitive, 95% of

their trade comes from what we would term value cuts, or what we would term underutilized cuts.

So, they are price sensitive.

I think if we get that differential corrected and we are on a level playing field, I think that puts us in very good shape for next year.

‘We’ve got to tell our story to the future generations’ Farmer, radio/TV broadcaster offers advice at summit

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

POLO, Ill. — People in rural areas tend to look at life in a unique way.

“I think that’s a good thing,” said Andrew McCrea during a presentation at the Ag Summit hosted by Forreston State Bank.

McCrea, who farms with his dad in northwest Missouri, where they grow corn, soybeans and raise cattle, talked about what sets extraordinary people apart.

“Whether it its individuals, farms, banks or large companies, the balance between per-

sonal and purposeful is usually very important,” he said.

Being personal means becoming a person that others enjoy being around.

“That doesn’t mean you have to tell jokes,” said McCrea, a radio and TV broadcaster who produces American Countryside radio program. “It means a person that generally looks for the best even in the most difficult situations.”

This important quality also can be achieved by companies such as Southwest Airlines.

“From 1972 to 2002, Southwest returned the most money to investors than any publicly traded company because they were different than other airlines,” McCrea said. “Instead of flying to a hub, they decided to fly from point to point to get peo-

ple to places quicker.”

A nd, he said, the company focused on doing things in a fun way.

“Employees could wea r shorts to woMcCrea rk,” he said.

“And they became personal and purposeful in what they did.”

It also is important to live with perspective, McCrea said.

“This means getting outside of what we know to be able to see through someone else’s eye,” he said.

“Try to make everyone a VIP by understanding their values, interest and purpose,” he advised.

“Why is an important question to ask, but for the most part why is a question that looks backward,” he said. “Why not is a question that usually looks forward, so if you’re not asking as many why nots as whys, you begin to lose focus on the future.”

In 1980, the average age of people living in rural areas, small towns and big cities were all about the same, McCrea said.

“Since 1980, the country got older as a whole, but the folks in rural America are much older because there aren’t as many young people around,” he said.

The population in the United States is growing; however, the growth rate has slowed, McCrea said. And, he said, the growth rate varies between large metro areas,

rural areas and small towns.

“In 2016, for rural populations, there were barely more births than deaths,” he said.

“And in 2019, for the first time, there will be more deaths than births in rural America.”

Therefore, McCrea said, to change these trends it is important to sometimes do things a little differently.

“We’ve got to tell our story to the future generations,” he stressed.

His hometown, King City, Missouri, a community of 1,000 people, is working to accomplish this goal. During the high school graduation, each student receives a mailbox with his or her name on the outside and a special gift inside.

Childhood obesity a public health problem

By Monica Nyman

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, which provides a chance to learn more about this serious health condition.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity affects nearly 14 million children, with about 14% of 2- to 5-year-olds considered obese, and about 21% of 12- to 19-year-olds struggling with obesity.

While there is no simple solution, there are many ways parents, communities and health professionals can support children on the journey to good health.

WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE? Childhood obesity is a public health problem for many reasons. Obese children are at higher risk for developing health conditions like asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Children with obesity can be bullied and are more likely to suffer from social isolation, depression and lower self-esteem.

Obese children also are more likely to become obese adults, leading to lifelong physical and mental health problems.

Factors including eating and physical activity behaviors, genetics, metabolism and family and home environment, along with community factors may be

at play with this health issue.

For some children and families, obesity may be influenced by too much time spent being inactive, lack of sleep, lack of places to go in the community for physical activity, easy access to inexpensive/high calorie foods and sugary beverages and a lack of access to affordable healthy foods.

HOW DO DAIRY FOODS PLAY A ROLE? It is important to include dairy foods like milk, cheese and yogurt in the diet as they are packed with essential nu-

trients. Along with being good sources of protein, zinc and B vitamins, dairy foods are a main source of calcium, a mineral needed for strong bones.

Dairy products are considered nutrient-rich foods and their availability, variety and convenience make them ideal food choices for families looking to build healthy eating habits.

Research affirms dairy’s place in the diet and importance in growing healthy children.

Studies indicate that children who drink milk are more likely to have a lower body mass than non-milk drinkers.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Parents, teachers and health professionals can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in children in a variety of ways. Identifying what a healthy diet looks like, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein and dairy foods, is the first step. Paying attention to a child’s growth over time can allow parents to address concerns as they emerge with their health professionals. Finally, being a role model with healthy eating and physical activity habits can be a powerful tool.

Addressing obesity can start

in the home, but community support calls for a group effort.

Communities can ensure that neighborhoods have low-cost physical activity opportunities such as parks, trails and recreation centers. Health experts can measure children’s weight and height routinely and connect families to nutrition education and healthy weight programs as needed. Schools and child-care centers can adopt practices that support consuming foods from all food groups, including dairy.

Helping children select beverages based on the nutrition content is important. When you choose milk, you are choosing nine essential nutrients, a distinct advantage over the empty calories in sodas. Working together, communities can help make healthy foods, beverages and physical activity the easy choice for kids and may help prevent childhood obesity.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that all adults 65 years of age or older receive a dose of PCV13 followed by a dose of PPSV23 six to 12 months later.

You need second pneumonia shot

By Matilda Charles

Have you had your second pneumonia shot? Some of us either don’t know the vaccine comes in two parts, or we forget to ask for it a year later when we need the second dose.

The two vaccines are called PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) and PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The numbers refer to how many strains of bacteria each one covers.

We generally call it pneumonia, but its official name is pneumococcal disease, and it can be serious. On the mild end of the spectrum, it might cause only a sore throat or sinus infection. On the other hand, besides pneumonia, the disease can cause infections of the blood, brain and spinal cord.

The pneumonia vaccine is one you might want to get at your doctor’s office, even if it’s handier to go to the local pharmacy. The reason is that there are certain warnings about whether you should or shouldn’t have one or the other of the two shots. Your doctor will be able to check your medical records to be sure the vaccine is right for you.

Pneumonia is transmitted by direct contact through mucous or saliva, and others can pass it to you without even knowing they have it. Be sure to wash your hands frequently!

Medicare Part B will cover the cost of these vaccines if you get them a year apart.

Counting steps

Have you been counting your steps every day? Do you have one of those step trackers?

I keep reading that we’re supposed to take 10,000 steps day for good health. Some studies say 4,400 are enough.

I knew I wasn’t getting anywhere near that — especially in the winter when everything outside is covered in ice — but I didn’t know how many steps I was actually taking.

Enter Amazon.com, our go-to for nearly everything, delivered to our door.

The first step was to select Average Customer Review to see which pedometer, or step tracker, had the highest rating.

Some were very high-tech and tracked steps, miles, calories burned and more.

Looking for more guidance, I checked out a study done by the National Institutes of Health a few years ago. Researchers tested four models, ranging from very simple to very expensive.

Imagine their surprise when it turned out that the simple, inexpensive step counter was the most accurate. Fingers crossed, I picked out one by that company.

Then the fun started. I paced off 100 steps at the grocery store then compared it to what the tracker said. Very accurate.

So far, so good.

Then the counter went a little crazy. I left it on top of the microwave while I heated up something, and unbeknownst to me, the microwave apparently took 17 steps across the kitchen.

Today I did a lot of walking around town — but I can’t believe I took as many steps as the counter says I did. So, I’m back on Amazon, looking for an additional counter.

My plan is to wear both for a few weeks and see if they give approximately the same number. That’s my suggestion if you want to start tracking your steps: buy two.

And look for pedometers that do only one thing — count steps. Sometimes simple is better. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Pears are a mild, sweet fruit with a fibrous center. They are rich in important antioxidants, flavonoids, and dietary fiber and pack all of these nutrients in a fat-free, cholesterol-free, 100-calorie package.

Love affair with pears

By Angela Shelf Medearis

I adore eating a perfectly ripened Bosc or Anjou pear.

That first bite through that firm, greenish-golden skin into the sweet juicy fruit is a delight for the senses.

Best of all, pears are a good source of fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C. Pears seldom cause allergies and are usually safe for infants and small children.

Research suggests that regularly eating pears and other fruits may even guard against macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss.

If you’re wondering about selecting, ripening or preparing pears, here’s some great information from USA Pears:

that they ripen best off the tree. As such, pears are transported when they’re fully mature, but not always ripe. This assures that pears you buy are in good condition to properly ripen at home after you buy them.

How can I keep cut pears from browning?

Browning, or oxidation, is a natural process that occurs when cut pears are exposed to oxygen. It can be slowed by “acidulating” the cut surfaces with a mild solution of 50% water and 50% lemon juice, which can either be brushed on or dipped in. Although this won’t completely stop the browning, it will provide you with a little extra time to enjoy your delicious fruit. You also Where are USA Pears grown? can use natural anti-browning USA Pears are mostly grown products such as NatureSeal, in Oregon and Washington, which will slow browning for which produce 88% of the na- over a week. tion’s fresh pear crop.

What should I do with my pears The pears I find in the grocery when I get them home? store are hard and green. Why? If the pears are ripe, they Pears are a unique fruit in can be used right away or

refrigerated to slow further ripening. If they need to be ripened, you must leave them at room temperature. Some people put them in a paper bag to help them ripen faster.

Be sure to check them daily so they don’t get overripe.

How long will pears keep in the fridge?

Once they are ripened, pears will generally keep in the refrigerator for three to five days. Unripe fruit can generally be kept for a week or more, however, pears will not ripen properly inside the fridge.

You also can arrange them in a fruit bowl and place them on the kitchen counter, dining room table or even in the living room so you can enjoy their beauty as they ripen.

Roasted Pears With Camembert Cheese And Chutney INGREDIENTS For the apple cider, raisin and pecan chutney: 1/2 cup unsweetened pear or apple cider 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup 1 large shallot, minced 1/3 cup golden raisins 3/4 cup chopped roasted pecans 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided use 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/8 teaspoon allspice or ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes For the roasted pears: 3 large, ripe USA Pears, such as

Concorde, Comice, or Green or Red Anjou 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 slices Camembert cheese 4 cups baby arugula leaves PROCEDURE For the chutney: Bring the cider, honey or agave syrup, shallot and raisins to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the mixture thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.

Off the heat, stir in the pecans, vinegar, rosemary, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper, the allspice or ground cloves, and the cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Cool the chutney to room temperature before serving, or place in a container and cover with an air-tight lid and

refrigerate up to 1 week.

To roast the pears: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Halve and core the pears and place in a baking dish. Rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to lightly coat, and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon of salt. Position the pears cut sides down and roast about 30 minutes.

Turn them over and continue roasting until tender, 5 to 10 minutes more. Lay a slice of Camembert on top of each and continue roasting just to melt the cheese, about 2 minutes.

To serve: Toss the arugula with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and the remaining salt and ground black pepper, and divide among 6 salad plates. Place a warm pear half over each and top with a spoonful of the chutney. Serve immediately.

Open in case of emergency

By Angela Shelf Medearis

The past few years have produced some unusual weather. Whether you live in an area that has been hit with storm-related power outages or you just want to stock up for the times you’re unable to shop, creating an emergency pantry using canned goods as staples is a wise choice.

Here are some tips for creating, stocking and using an emergency pantry: CANNED GOODS AND WATER n Choose foods your family enjoys. Good options include canned beans, vegetables, fruit, breakfast cereal, peanut butter, pouches of fully cooked whole grains, nuts, wholewheat crackers and shelf-stable milk or plant milk, the kind sold in aseptic boxes in the grocery aisle. n When buying canned foods, choose low-sodium or no-saltadded products and choose fruits packed in water or their own juice instead of syrup. n Store canned goods in a cool, dark, dry area away from furnaces, pipes and other places where temperature changes occur. Keep metal cans off the floor, because moisture may lead to rust. n Always use the FIFO — first-in, first-out — method

when using foods from storage so that you use your oldest cans first. If you see that a can or jar has a broken seal or is rusting, bulging or denting, it should be discarded. If any food does not look or smell right, throw it out. n Keep at least 6 gallons of water per family member to be prepared for one week. Store water in airtight, food-grade storage containers. Replace water every six months.

REFRIGERATED AND FROZEN FOODS If electrical power is off, eat foods from the refrigerator first.

These foods are not safe to eat if they’ve been at room temperature for more than two hours.

Foods in the freezer will stay cold depending on the size of the freezer and the amount and kind of food in it. A large freezer full of meat will stay the coldest, longest.

Keeping frozen jugs of water in the freezer will help maintain the cold temperature.

NO-COOK EMERGENCY PANTRY RECIPES Overnight Oats: Mix rolled oats with water and let sit overnight on a counter. In the morning, add peanut butter, raisins or other dried fruit and a little cinnamon.

Chunky Gazpacho: To a can of

diced tomatoes with juice, add chopped onion, chopped cucumber, a little Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper and a dash of salt and pepper. You also can add chopped red or green peppers if you have them.

Drizzle with olive oil and top with fresh parsley or cilantro if you have it. To make this a heartier dish, add a can of drained chickpeas.

Corn Salad: Combine drained canned corn with vegetables you have on hand — chopped tomatoes, peppers and onions, for example. Add drained canned black beans if you like.

Toss with a dressing made of one part apple-cider vinegar and one part olive oil, with fresh or dried basil and a little salt and pepper.

Power Bean-and-Grain Salad: Combine drained canned beans with a pouch of precooked grains, olive oil and any herbs and spices you like.

You also can add chopped veggies and nuts, if available.

Salmon or Tuna Stuffed Avocados: Combine chunks of canned salmon, tuna or smoked trout with chopped tomato and cucumber. Toss with a dressing of lemon juice or white vinegar, olive oil, paprika and salt and pepper.

Stuff into avocado halves; use to top lettuce greens or as a sandwich filling.

Three men with animal feet hold this Roman brazier on their heads. It is a copy of an excavated piece from Pompeii that was buried in 78 A.D. Many pictures and artifacts showed life in the town, a place for entertainment and erotica.

Antiques rise from the ashes

By Terry and Kim Kovel

During the late 18th century, the very rich made a long trip to Europe to admire the architecture and art of Europe, including the ruins of past civilizations.

The town of Pompeii was a major attraction. It had been covered with ash and lava in 78 A.D. and forgotten until 1748, when it blocked some construction.

Historians have been studying the remains, and the art and culture, since then. The city was a summer home for wealthy Romans, and the eruption covered and saved the furnishings under the rock. Information about furniture and paintings inspired copies in the 18th century.

A brazier that was used to heat a Roman bath in the city and a similar one in a brothel were copied and sold in the late 1800s. The popular bronze brazier had a pieced rim and a three-part foot with men with paw feet holding the fire pit on their heads.

These copies were made with a green patina. One sold at a Cakebread auction in New Orleans for $500. It is 10 inches high and almost 6 inches in diameter.

I have heard that some antiques and vintage items are dangerous to own. Is this true? I am afraid to use my orange Fiesta dishes because friends say they were made with uranium and are radioactive.

Yes, some antique medicines, cosmetics and other objects can be dangerous or even fatal.

Most vintage or antique things you buy at shops or shows have been cleaned or checked for dangerous things.

Some are mercury (barometers), flammable materials (stove polish that explodes when heated), arsenic (cleanser for complexion), opium (medicine to relieve pain), morphine (to sooth teething babies), alcohol (a high percentage in bitters, medicines and so forth) and, of course, anything in a bumpy poison bottle or a bottle labeled poison.

Uranium was used in the clay or glaze of some items before the strict food and drug laws were passed in the United States, but some countries still use glazes that are not safe. Your orange dishes are safe to use.

If you find forgotten drugstore stock, clean it carefully in a well-ventilated area. Empty all medicine bottles; children may try to drink something.

Yields down in top corn-producing county

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

TOWANDA, Ill. — The Prairie State’s top corn-producing county is projected to have yields 9% below the five-year average.

A yield survey by First Mid Ag Services estimates McLean County to average 197.3 bushels per acre, based on 1,600 samples from 160 locations.

If realized, this would be the fourth highest projected yield. The county averaged a record 229.3 bushels per acre last year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Ross Perkins, First Mid Ag Services farm manager, reported the annual survey findings Sept.

12 at the firm’s field day at its Towanda plots.

“The samples were taken from every township in McLean County by nine First Mid Ag

“Each mailbox contains a thumb drive that features people who graduated from our high school and made their lives in our community,” McCrea said.

And during the ceremony, he said, the high school principal also has a message for all the community members.

“Our principal says that every other person in the gym has to do everything they can to make our town a place where the kids want to put their mailbox,” he said.

Services farm managers. Sample yield estimates ranged from 123 bushels per acre to 276 bushels per acre,” Perkins said.

Forty-seven percent of the locations had yield estimated at over 200 bushels per acre, compared to 78% in 2018 and 43% in 2017.

“Most of the samples were taken the last week of August and first week of September.

Rows around and ear length were found to be slightly below average but populations were better than expected given the planting conditions,” Perkins said.

“With the late planting and variable summer rainfall, test weight will be a very large determining factor in final yield throughout the county this year.”

Here are highlights found in the county-wide yield survey.

It also may mean farm operations will need to make some changes.

“On our farm, we’ve got cover crops and sometimes we fly them on,” McCrea said. “A few years ago, we went to 15-inch corn, which works well.”

McCrea encourages farmers to look at their operation and see what works.

“It doesn’t mean you always have to change. We still ride horseback when working with our cattle,” he said. “So, we still do some things that we’ve been doing for a century.”

WEATHER 2019 turned out to be a challenging year to get crops planted. There was only a short window at the end of April that allowed a handful of farms to be planted.

Fif t y-nine percent of the crop was planted in marginal soil conditions between May 17 and May 21. Additionally 26% of the crops were planted in June.

The southern one-third of the county received rain showers in July and is expected to have higher yields. Grain-fill weather patterns in 2019 can be compared to the 2009 growing season.

PLANTING DATE Planting dates for the samples ranged from April 25 through June 11 with the average planting date of May 22. When com-

California promises fight to keep auto emission authority SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) – Preparing for a lengthy legal battle with the Trump administration about how much pollution to allow from cars, California regulators said they were considering cracking down on other emissions to make up for any impacts on air quality.

The Trump administration on Sept. 19 officially revoked California’s authority to set its own emission standards _ authority the state has had for decades under a waiver from the federal Clean Air Act. The changes won’t take effect for another 60 days, giving state officials time to prepare a lawsuit. But the litigation will be complex

and could last for years. In the meantime, California regulators in charge of reducing pollutants are considering toughening limits on refinery emissions and imposing “roadway pricing” _ which includes charging higher tolls during rush hour in the hopes of keeping cars off the road. “‘We must do other things to meet our commitments,” Ellen Peter, chief counsel for the California Air Resources Board, said during Thursday’s board meeting.

California has 35 million registered vehicles, giving it great influence with the auto industry. That was evident in July, when Democratic Gov. Gavin

Newsom announced that Ford, BMW, Honda and Volkswagen had agreed to follow California’s standards, bypassing the administration, which had been working on new rules.

The Trump administration’s decision to stop California from setting its own emission standards for cars and trucks would undermine the state’s ability to convince the world’s largest automakers that they should make more environmentally friendly vehicles.

“We will not let political agendas in a single state be forced upon the other 49,” Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said Thursday at a Washington news conference.

2020 candidates face rural issues

By Harwood D. Schaffer and Daryll E. Ray

Over the last few weeks, we examined the agricultural and rural policies set forth by the three leading candidates for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

Of the three, Elizabeth Warren has the most detailed plan for commodity policy, though both she and Bernie Sanders support supply management policies which is consistent with the New Deal history of the Democratic party. All three have also set forth a number of policy issues to address the challenges faced by rural residents.

The remaining candidates in this historically large field have generally addressed issues consistent with the personal experiences and political philosophies they bring to the campaign.

Rather than try to make our way through the policies of the full roll of the dozen-and-a-half remaining Democratic candidates, we are using this column to lay out a range of rural and agricultural issues apart from commodity policy that we think 2020 presidential candidates, without regard to party affiliation, will be asked to address by small town and rural voters.

Consolidation in agricultural markets on both the input side and the marketing side needs to be addressed. Farmers are forced to purchase their inputs from a small number of firms who have pricing power.

Farmers also face the same problem when they go to sell their non-niche products — corn, soybeans, wheat and cattle. In many locations, single firms often have a stranglehold on the market, with the cost of transportation to a more competitive market eating up most of the gain.

One might be tempted to think that this is a recent issue, but it is not. In response to the stranglehold on farmers that railroads and major packers had in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Congress passed major legislation like the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the Packers and Stockyards Act in 1921.

Over the last century the players have changed, but farmers who number over a million still buy from and sell to firms where fewer than seven or eight control 50% or more of the market. Anti-trust legislation needs significant attention.

Another area where farmers have lost leverage in the marketplace is vertical integration. This is particularly true in poultry and pork markets where the open market has so few players that price discovery is virtually nonexistent.

Early in the Obama administration the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Justice held hearings on the experiences of farmers in the vertically integrated meat industry and began to develop regulations to deal with the problems that were identified.

Congress, under Republican leadership, then deleted the funding for the writing of these regulations that would have protected small growers with production contracts.

While there are segments within the agricultural population that don’t believe in or don’t want to believe in climate change and the role that humans play in that process, candidates for public office cannot avoid discussing policy plans to address the issues of climate change, care for the environment and sustainability. Rural and agricultural areas can be an important part of the solution.

Rural health care, rural broadband, rural employment and the need for good paying jobs for youths who grow up in and want to remain in rural areas are all important issues that need to be addressed by anyone — Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green and all others — who wants to be president of this country.

To this list we could add ethanol, E15, ethanol blending exemptions, rural roads and bridges, rural schools, the funding of programs on tribal lands that are almost exclusively located in rural areas and the support of African-American farmers who have faced discrimination by USDA and some of its programs.

We hope that the candidates will take the opportunity to listen to rural residents and develop policy proposals that address the concerns they hear.

Carpenters had different styles In the early morning fog the other day, I heard a claw hammer’s tap, tap, bam, bam, bam, boom drive a nail into its place for who knows how many years. A moment later, another six, Farm & Food clear, sharp notes cut through the fog and File another nail was set for, maybe, a century Alan Guebert or more.

There were no carpenters on the southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth. The closest anyone came was my father who, in the shade of a big maple tree one summer, made several tongue-in-groove hayracks.

It wasn’t fine woodworking, but the racks were square and so solid that each brought good money at his retirement auction more than 40 years later.

When a real carpenter was required, my father called either Elmer N. or Buddy S. for the job. Elmer was younger, faster, more professional and lived just 12 miles away in an old French town guarded by towering river bluffs.

Buddy, whose real name I still don’t know, lived farther away, was older, slower and loved to chat, joke and watch the farm’s hired men, cows and anyone else who might distract him from the task at hand.

There were other differences between the two. Elmer was a no-nonsense builder, someone who tackled the job every morning as if he had spent half the previous night choreographing the next day’s every move to

make the most of his effort and your dollar.

Buddy, on the other hand, was more of a remodeler, someone whose patience — others might say slowness — gave him time to know what to do next without ever re-measuring, re-sawing or regretting.

Buddy also could be humorously absentminded. Twice, for example, I witnessed him saw through the extension cord to his circular saw while cutting plywood. Each time, he simply smiled a small, resigned smile and added another lumpy, electrical tape splice to the several splices already in the cord.

Elmer’s extension cord was like Elmer; not one splice. He was a round man with a sharp, aquiline nose and a carpenter’s pencil stuck into his cap just in front of his right ear. He wore matching shirts and pants, always a workman’s tan, heavy leather work shoes and, if chilly or cold, a matching jacket or coat.

And he was a solo act; no gofer, apprentice or assistant helped, slowed, or learned from Elmer. When you hired him to, say, put an addition onto your house, Elmer dug the building’s foundation, set the concrete forms, then coordinated the concrete pour, before singularly completing the framing, wiring, plumbing, insulating, roofing, cabinetry, plastering and trim work by himself. Alas, he didn’t paint.

Equally impressive, at least to my mother, was how he left his work site each day: it was as clean — maybe even cleaner — than her well-scrubbed kitchen.

Elmer had two other talents that I’ve rarely seen matched. First, he sawed

nearly every board by hand. His saw was sharp, his stroke short and his cut straight and quick.

His other unmatchable talent was sweating. He seemed to sweat from the moment he arrived in the morning until the moment he left in the evening.

And, most remarkably to me, anyway, was how the sweat dripped from the tip of his elegant nose, drop by drop, exactly onto the board he was cutting with every stroke he made with his handsaw.

Buddy, by contrast, was an elfish man in overalls, a cotton shirt and high-top work shoes. He trudged more than he walked, rarely moved so fast as to break a sweat and wore an infectious smile from morning to quitting time.

For years, Buddy’s work vehicle was a 1957 Chevrolet Impala whose outside mirrors dangled baling twine like parade streamers when not holding 2x4s en route to a jobsite.

Despite their differences in appearance and approach, both Buddy and Elmer were well regarded in their communities and by my father. Both were board-by-board, brick-by-brick workmen who literally built their small corner of this nation.

Now, like my father, both are long gone. Their work, however, endures as a lasting testament to their innate talent and quiet lives, and likely will for many decades more.

Diversify to lessen your overall risk As you lead your farm, one aspect that might not immediately come to mind is what sets your operation apart. Many farms grow a commodity product, but in today’s farming environment, Darren Frye you can’t run your business with the assumpWater Street tion that you’re simply producing the same Solutions thing as everyone else.

Differentiating your farm means thinking about it as it is right now and then being able to highlight what makes it unique. One important way to differentiate your operation is through a farm culture that stands out as a positive example, both in your geographical area and beyond.

Your farm’s culture impacts everything from how you as the owner work with landlords and lenders to how everyone on your farm treats visitors and suppliers who come to the operation to how your employees interact with each other and with you as their leader.

Think through what currently sets your farm apart in these three areas and then create action steps to work on: 1. Leading and managing employees: The way that you and anyone else who leads employees in your operation lead those employees is a major part of the culture that develops. A positive leadership culture can set your operation apart as a sought-after place to work, making it easier when it’s time to hire.

2. Relationships with those outside of your operation: In today’s ag world, we must

work with others from a variety of different backgrounds, organizations and perspectives to get the job done.

Developing a set way that you and everyone else in your operation work with others from outside your operation is very important. A set standard helps others know exactly what they will be dealing with when they work with you or your employees.

3. Running the operation by the numbers: Managing your farm business with a careful eye to the numbers in all decision-making is another way to differentiate your operation. Running the farm this way can help you make better business decisions on both sides of your farm’s equation: expenses and revenue.

All financial decisions first require careful analysis and a preview of how the potential decision will impact the business. Also, create flexible marketing plans based on your operation’s numbers and regularly update your farm’s financial information to help make good decisions.

A WORD ON RESILIENCE Another key fact to consider is that when it comes to being resilient and persevering in the face of obstacles, it’s no secret that farmers do both incredibly well.

The Merriam-Webster online dictionary defines resilience as “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change.” So, what happens when things get tough on the farm?

The tough get going.

What about when things get really tough, as in dealing with almost every

weather challenge in the books — hello, 2019? Well, then the tough really get going.

Here are three ways to apply principles of resilience: 1. Consider diversifying: You won’t be as dependent on a single revenue stream.

You won’t have to ensure everything goes perfectly with your primary crop.

Being able to pay the bills doesn’t depend solely on one crop or business area. Diversifying may be able to help to lessen your overall risk, or at least place some of it in a different business that’s not as dependent on factors like weather and markets.

2. Build strong working capital: This is one of the best ways you can protect your operation from financial issues and help it stay resilient. Most banks recommend a 25% to 30% working capital ratio, but we like our clients to shoot for a working capital ratio of 40%. Your operation will be far more resilient with a bigger “cushion” in place. If you need to work on building your working capital, it’s best to start with an in-depth financial analysis of your operation to see where you’re at and how you can make changes.

3. Resilient market planning: Marketing and merchandising plans are critical for farms to thrive. Plans need to be tailored well to your operation’s needs and ready to pivot in the face of a variety of different scenarios. Are your marketing and merchandising plans truly resilient? Talk with a market adviser about your plans for this year and beyond.

David Fickel, AGCO North America Application tactical marketing manager, points out the features on the new RoGator AirMax Precision R1/R2 application system at the recent Midwest Ag Industries Expo. The system is designed for more precise fertilizer applications with nutrient stewardship in mind.

Spreader hits 4Rs Right source, right rate, right time, right place

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A new applicator system that focuses on increased crop nutrient application precision was featured at the recent Midwest Ag Industries Exposition.

AGCO Corp.’s newly designed RoGator AirMax Precision R1/R2 pneumatic fertilizer spreaders hits the 4Rs — right source, right rate, right time and right place — of nutrient stewardship and are ideal for mid-season prescription application of multiple crop nutrients.

This system allows low- or highrate application, provides turn compensation in curves and corners and is available as a single-bin R1 or the two-bin R2 with configurable 50/50 or 60/40 split.

“As a leading equipment manufacturer, it’s important to us to develop products with sustainable practices in mind,” said David Fickel, AGCO North America Application tactical marketing manager.

“The AirMax Precision R1/R2 application system offers ag retailers the latest technology to make sure they are getting the right crop nutrients applied, at the needed rate and in the right place, which ultimately helps boost a farmer’s productivity and bottom line.”

The single-bin has a product capacity of 235 cubic feet and the twin-bin holds 215 cubic feet.

The 70-foot modular boom allows for the replacement of parts if necessary.

“If you need to replace something or maybe you hit something, you don’t have to replace the whole boom. So, it’s a cost savings,” Fickel said.

RESEARCH FINDINGS Fickel noted that independent university research was conducted comparing the application quality and accuracy of the pneumatic boom spread, versus the leading spinner spreader in high wind and late-season crop application.

The research shows the AirMax Precision R1/R2: n Provides better overall coverage in taller crop, perfect for late-season application. n Has better accuracy from boom tip to boom tip when applying in high wind conditions. n Spreads product from the pneumatic system more consistently across the boom and has less variation at specific distances on the boom, regardless of pounds per acre application rates.

“To help keep costs down, this machine is a lot more efficient than our previous models. This machine can apply somewhere in the range from I’ll say 20 to 850 pounds per acre at 10 miles an hour. Assuming, let’s say a 65-pound product, this machine can deliver those type of rates in an efficient manner that keeps the operating in the field instead of filling up and you can put down some serious rates, whereas, you have to maybe come back with a dual application

with other machines,” he said.

“As far as the right rate, and probably as part of it, the right timing, this has two ports on the back and the front that are accessible to the operator to do a density test. Not a lot of guys are thinking about that. They just dump the product in and take off.

You need to do density tests and this machine is the only one that has density ports cutout from the back and the front on the box.”

UNIQUE DRIVE The RoGator AirMax features unique hydraulic drive motors for better accuracy, rather than the typical mechanical drives with chains.

“These are on 888 pulses per minute whereas the rest of the industry is only getting around 400. So, we have a lot more control and we can be a lot more precise,” Fickel said.

“Altorfer is our dealer in Illinois, and they have customers that are doing as low as 15 pounds per acre at 14, 15 miles per hour. So, they can get extremely accurate with those rates.

That’s a very low rate for a cover crop, let’s say, and sometimes the metering systems can’t handle that, it’s almost too light. This machine can handle that.”

Turn Logic on the AirMax allows for reduced overspread via turn compensation while Spread Logic ensures the right amount of product is delivered through the boom.

“There’s a sensor in the middle of the boom. So, for example, rate is 400 pounds per acre. The sensor is looking for that rate, so it will vary the conveyors individually on either side of the boom to hit that rate in the middle. On a turn, the outside wing is going over more ground, whereas the inside will meter back so you’re not over-applying,” Fickel said.

“That also goes back to the 4Rs with the product placement and making sure it’s in the right place and you don’t get those hot zones with over-application.”

OPTIONS The application system is featured on the RoGator 1300C chassis and the 1100C. The user-friendly cab is pressurized for better filtration. The joystick and controls are ergonomic and centered on the operator.

The cab also features a large touch-screen display from AGCO’s AgControl system, and Raven Viper 4 for operator ease-of-use for recording rates and prescription maps.

There are multiple cameras in the bin and in the back of the applicator.

The Night-breaker LED light package provides lights all around the applicator.

“You have a lot more visibility from the cab for those nighttime applications when things are running late in the season. You kick that system on and you’re not going to have any problem seeing,” Fickel said.

Soybeans must be destroyed due to soil DETROIT (AP) — State regulators say 91,000 bushels of soybeans must be destroyed, three years after just a small portion was grown on land that had sediment from a Kalamazoo River Superfund site in western Michigan.

Only 145 bushels were harvested from the land. But here’s the problem: Those soybeans were stored with thousands of additional bushels, likely worth more than $800,000 in fall 2016.

The agriculture department said the soybeans are indistinguishable and can’t be sorted.

“That has magnified the ramifications,” said Brad Deacon, director of legal affairs at the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

“The unfortunate part is they were comingled with perfectly good grain from other farms.”

Since 2016, the soybeans have

been locked up under state order in Hamilton in Allegan County. The 145 bushels were grown by Golden Grain Farms and sold for $1,300 to CHS, a global Minnesota-based farm cooperative with operations in Michigan.

CHS recently filed a lawsuit against Golden Grain, seeking unspecified compensation for all 91,000 bushels and disclosing details about the unusual controversy. Golden Grain didn’t return messages this week seeking comment. CHS declined to comment.

Soybeans, which are high in protein, typically are turned into animal feed. But they’re also used to make oil and food for human consumption, as well as biodiesel fuel.

The soybeans harvested by Golden Grain were grown on land that couldn’t be used for farming, according to state regulators.

According to Wikipedia, “herding cats” is an idiom “denoting a futile attempt to control or organize a class of entities which are inherently Commodity uncontrollable — as in the Insight difficulty of Jerry Welch attempting to command individual cats into a group.”

The best description I can offer about the week that just ended for the entire Big Four — stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities — is to describe it as five days of herding cats. The markets were “inherently uncontrollable” and fraught with volatility each and every day.

The craziness began over the weekend when a drone missile attack destroyed the two largest oil refineries in Saudi Arabia.

The following Monday, the first trading day after the attack, Brent crude oil futures rose 19.5%, the largest one-day rise in history.

And because crude tends to be “the stick that stirs the drink,” a host of commodity markets also were sharply higher.

There is not enough room in this week’s column to describe the various movements seen with the Big Four due to a record-setting rally with crude oil.

Believe me: Every market was as wild as the proverbial March hare with huge price swings seen in stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities. The icing on the cake, so to speak, for the week was the fact the Federal Reserve lowered U.S. interest rates at mid-week by 0.25%.

An issue many had with the Fed hiking rates was the simple fact that there was dissention about the decision. For example, five Fed members thought the rates should not have been lowered at all.

Five members approved of the point cut, but also wished to keep rates unchanged through the rest of the year. And seven members favored at least one more rate cut this year. It was the most dissents for a Fed decision since December 2014.

The reason the Fed rate cut was because of the numerous signs showing the U.S. economy is slowing with loud hints a recession close at hand. In order to keep the economy expanding and to fight off a recession, rates were cut.

However, several well-respected Wall Street analysts were quick to remind everyone about the rate cut back in September 2007, 12 years ago when the economy also began to show signs of slipping into a recession.

Back in 2007, the Fed cut rates by a quarter point and stocks, as measured by the Dow Jones, still rallied into Oct. 9, 2007, when the market closed above 14,164, an all-time high.

But exactly 17 months later, the Dow closed at 6,547, shedding more than half its value.

And from CBS News, in an article written by Alan Roth on Oct. 11, 2010, with a headline “3 Years After the Stock Market Peak: Here are the Lessons,” Roth wrote: “One year later, in October 2008, the market crashed, leading to the most painful economic hangover in our lifetimes. Lehman Brothers and AIG were household names.

Suddenly, the risk mavericks were jumping ship like rats off the Titanic… And the market kept on falling, eventually bottoming out on March 9, 2009.”

It has been a very difficult week for investors, traders and agriculture producers. The situation with the bombing of the two largest oil refineries in Saudi Arabia remains in play in terms of retaliation or whatever. Any further cuts in Saudi oil production will spawn even more volatility.

And the Fed cut rates because they do not like what they see when it comes to the U.S. economy. Keep in mind that the fundamentals — economic weakness, in this case — that bring about rate cuts are not necessarily bullish for stocks or commodities.

I am not comfortable looking back in time and recalling the Fed cutting rates in September 2007 only to see the Dow peak out in early October 2008 and then dropping more than 50% in value over the following year and a half.

I am also not comfortable knowing that September is the most bearish month of the year for stocks with October being the month that has always had the largest one-day declines in history.

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

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

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

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

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

MillerCoors sued its rival in March, saying Anheuser-Busch has spent

as much as $30 million on a “false and misleading” campaign.

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

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

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

But some contains chemicals known as PFAS. Studies show they can be absorbed into crops such as lettuce and tomatoes.
