MTI, DAVISON COUNTY LAND LAB PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES TO FLOURISH County plans to renew agreement in March

BY SHEILA SLATER The Daily Republic

T

he partnership between Davison County and the Mitchell Technical Institute Land Lab program is certain to continue beyond March of 2019.

The current five-year agreement expires at that time but county commission chair Brenda Bode is certain the commission will agree to renew the contract and plans to put the renewal of the contract on the commissioners agenda for January.

“We have no plans to change the arrangement. This is a perfect partnership for both and working with MTI is always a good investment,” Bode said. “The commission sees no need to wait until the end of March to extend the contract.”

Since April 2001, MTI has held a crop-sharing agreement that allows the school to farm county-owned land close to Mitchell’s city limits.

Students conduct all areas of agricultural work on about 85 acres of county-owned land, rotating crops from corn to soybeans, testing the soil, performing crop imagery and managing crop health.

For eight years Rick Kriese, head agronomy instructor at MTI, has been leading the program.

“It’s been a win-win situation for us at MTI and for the county. Every fall we get roughly 180 students out on the field and away from their desks and computers,” Kriese said. “We also incorporate our precision technology students to perform studies and crop imagery.”

Students learn about different methods to increase soil organic matter and improve the overall soil health. Since its inception, the enrollment for the MTI Land Lab has tripled.

Jim Lorang grew up on the family farm in Mount Vernon and was one of the first participants of the MTI Land Lab program.

“We did a lot of population testing,stand counts and yield estimates on both corn and soybeans,” Lorang said. “It was great to actually go out on the field and get that experience rather than looking at pictures in a book or computer.”

Common weeds to this region are observed and control strategies are discussed during class. Disease and insect identification are also key factors in today’s crop production efforts.

At harvest time students gain experience in driving combines, harvesting the crop and hauling the grains to the elevator.

This year the MTI students had approximately half of the land planted to soybeans with plans to rotate to corn next spring, and the other half of the acres were planted to corn.

Yields were estimated at 55 bushels per acre for soybeans and about 190 bushels per acre for corn.

After the crop yields are calculated and the paperwork complete, the county receives a 25 percent crop share.

At its recent meeting the county received a crop share check for $9,600.

“The board had no problem accepting the funds and we look forward to continuing this partnership,” Bode said.  DECEMBER 2018 SOUTH DAKOTA FARM & RANCH 5

Don’t be messing with that

BY AMY KIRK for South Dakota Farm & Ranch

T

here are just some things that belong to a man that are better left alone and aren’t worth messing with.

A man’s writing utensil is one of them. Men can get by with one pen and they seem to want it that way. They don’t want you asking to borrow it because they only keep one pen on them.

Observing men’s behavior when you borrow their pen is comparable to witnessing the reaction of a shocked child when a stranger picks up their beloved blanket or stuffed animal and starts walking around the room with it. The look you get is one of anxiety and shock or disbelief. They won’t take their eyes off it until it gets set down, and once it is, they will quickly go over to grab it back, then put a death grip on it. If a man’s pen was the last pen available that worked on the earth and you needed to borrow it to leave your dying wish, you might consider not bothering him to use his pen for writing it down. It may not be worth your last dying memory of his facial expression when you borrow it.

A man’s pocketknife or Leatherman tool is an appendage of his person.

These items are personal attachments specific to each man’s needs, like their limbs. Removing it from their person is not much different from ripping their hand or arm off. These tools are how they function in the world when they need that little bionic extra to get a job done.

Every man has his own set of tools. Every man also has his own set of tool rules, like which tool box drawer a tool goes in or how they’re placed and arranged. When the order of their tools is disrupted, this can be catastrophic when needing them to do wrench work. If you need to use one of his tools, it might be a good idea to take a picture of the whole drawer of tools laid out before you pick one out. If it is not put back right, guys know it immediately.

Then there’s the remote control. The TV remote is man’s security blanket.

When it’s time to relax and settle down for the evening before bedtime, guys need the comfort of having their remote control at hand. There’s a reason these tools are called “remote control.” The man who invented this gadget wanted it to be an item that remains in a remote location: his. By definition, remote means “situated far from the main centers of population; distant.” This means the remote control should remain at the armrest of his easy chair, far from everyone else’s dirty little mitts but easily within his reach, not anyone else’s. It should stay right where he puts it down, so he can be solely in “control” of it. The remote control buttons not only hold great power to change channels but the power to calm a guy down because he gets to be in control of pushing the buttons. There aren’t a lot of things a man has control over, but the television remote control is probably an important one. If you pick up the remote and pack it around or set it down somewhere it disrupts his sense of calm, peace and quiet time, because then he has to find it or retrieve it in order to restore his calm and the remote to its rightful spot. He doesn’t want it lost, or have to go looking for it. It’s perfectly fine setting on the armrest where he can see it all the time and stroke the buttons as needed.

A calf record book is a ranch man’s personal belonging not worth messing with, especially if you have a habit of forgetting where you left something.

It’s the most valued of items to a rancher and all kinds of important ranch information you won’t understand.

There are two things in life worth accepting. Men need to let women think they’ve won an argument and women need to let men think they’re in control of the TV remote.  DECEMBER 2018 SOUTH DAKOTA FARM & RANCH 7

GROWING ON 2018 HELPS FARMERS MARKET CROPS IN DIFFICULT TIMES

BY MICHELLE ROOK Forum News Service

Y

ANKTON, S.D. — 2018 was an unprecedented year in the grain markets with record crops and the trade war pressuring prices.

As a result, farmers stored a huge amount of grain, especially soybeans, to wait for better prices. Now they’re looking for help on how to market those bushels. That was the focus of the Growing On 2018 meetings conducted across South Dakota by Iowa State University Farm and Ag Business Management Specialist Steven Johnson.

Johnson says the volatility in 2018 is the reason farmers need to manage crop risk, especially related to price.

“You can’t just produce it, you’ve got to be able to sell it for a profit,” he said.

He shared five case studies from Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota and said these successful farmers all have one thing in common: They are managing crop risk.

With all the market noise, especially regarding the trade war, Johnson advised farmers to tune it out.

“Focus on what you can control,” he said. That includes the decision of what to plant, what type of marketing plan to implement, whether or not to store, plus when to generate cash flow.

Johnson shared a laundry list of marketing considerations that go into developing a marketing plan.

“Things like time objectives, price objectives, old crop marketing futures carry, basis, cost of ownership and separating commercially stored bushels

HOFFMANN INSURANCE AGENCY

from on-farm stored bushels.” He said farmers overall need to use more marketing tools in that plan to manage crop risk for both old and new crop bushels.

For old crop production, Johnson said he is concerned the unprecedented amount of grain piles and bag storage will pressure basis levels in February and March. He said he believes farmers have very little of that grain priced.

Johnson’s advice is to take advantage of basis when it narrows in April and May with a basis contract. However, it can vary by area so farmers need to track the seasonality for five years. Futures usually rally in late winter and spring as well, so farmers need to use that information to make the most educated marketing decisions.

“We want to take advantage of the seasonality of futures and the seasonality of basis, unhook them,” he added.

For new crop bushels, Johnson said farmers need to quit using spot cash and forward contracts. Instead, they should adapt to hedge to arrive contracts for bushels they’re willing to commit to delivery, using Revenue Protection Crop Insurance.

“If you don’t want to deliver the bushels, use futures hedges or buy put options,” he said.

South Dakota Corn Executive Director Lisa Richardson said Growing On is an annual educational series they have sponsored for many years. The meetings generally attract about 1,500 farmers and they’re well-attended because marketing is so critical to farmers’ overall profitability.

“We are again trying to get them to focus on their breakeven costs.

We want them to try to figure out their true cost of production and help them make some better management decisions as we step into 2019,” he said.

Chambers added the Market Facilitation Program payments will be very helpful to soybean farmers and their bottom line, especially if they were able to take advantage of some higher prices and lock those in earlier in the year. 

“It’s really to make them think about the marketing, their decisions and for them to develop a plan on their basis … and to try to take some of the emotions out,” she said. That is true more than ever this year with a record corn crop in South Dakota, negative ethanol grinding margins and the spillover impact of the lower soybean prices.

Farm Credit Services also underwrites the program. Regional Vice President Wes Chambers said they hope Growing On will help farmers better evaluate their finances, especially coming off a year where they had big crops, but margins are still tight.

MINER COUNTY HOSTS 37TH ANNUAL FEEDER CALF SHOW

BY SDSU EXTENSION BROOKINGS — Black Friday has an altogether different meaning in Miner County where showing cattle the day after Thanksgiving has been a Miner County tradition for the past 37 years. 2018 was once again a success.

The show, held November 23, 2018 at the 4-H Grounds in Howard, boasted 35 4-H show cattle as well as a total of 164 open class entries shown by exhibitors who represented counties across South Dakota as well as the states of Wyoming, Minnesota and Iowa.

“This show continues to be a well-received event and draws families to Howard on a busy holiday weekend,” said Maria Feldhaus, Miner County 4-H Youth Program Advisor with SDSU Extension.
