JOHNSON URGES PRESIDENT TRUMP TO OVERSEE COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION INTO CATTLE MARKETS

By Erik Kaufman ASHINGTON, D.C. — United States Representative Dusty Johnson recently urged President Donald Trump to oversee a comprehensive, multi-agency investigation following continuous cattle market volatility.

In 2019, Johnson urged the United States Department of Agriculture to provide a thorough investigation to producers following cattle market volatility after the August 2019 Holcomb, Kansas Tyson beef processing plant and the continued instability currently caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

“We need to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on, and why,” said Johnson in a letter sent to Trump. “A comprehensive approach is the only one that makes sense, one that includes the Department of Justice, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, USDA Packers and Stockyards and congressional hearings.

DUSTY CATTLE From Page 4

As I said in the wake of the Holcomb fire, whatever investigation is done needs to be ‘for real,’ rather than ‘for show.’”

A major fire in August at Tyson beef processing plant in Holcomb destroyed a facility that processed 6,000 head per day before the fire.

That processing capacity accounts for 6 percent of the total United State fed cattle capacity and the impact of the fire is still being felt. Along with the uncertainty generated with the spread of COVID-19, the two factors are affecting cattle markets around the country.

Cattle markets in the United States were affected by the fire, according

to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture, as the demand for beef was expected to drop in the short term. When the stock market is doing well, consumers feel confident and are willing to spend more disposable income on luxuries like eating out, and beef is often part of that experience.

That uncertainty has continued in the stock market with the spread of the COVID-19 virus around the world, concern was high almost immediately. The Dow Jones saw a high of above 29,500 just several weeks ago but closed around 23,000 recently, with quadruple digit losses resulting from concerns over the disease.

Jodi Anderson, executive director of the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, said Johnson’s call for a closer look at the cattle market Matt Gade / Republic

Calves feed pin west of Mitchell earlier this month.

as well as a recent request from Sen. John Thune to United States Attorney General William Barr are prudent steps.

“They are both making that ask to my knowledge, and that is something the industry is glad to see.

We want to make sure the market is functioning as transparently as possible,” Anderson said.

Investigations and hearings could reveal answers, but Anderson said most people in the industry expect the volatility in the market will remain in the short term due to the difficulty of forecasting how the worldwide pandemic will play out.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the markets are sort of responding in kind,” Anderson said. “I haven talked to anyone who anticipates that that’s going to change, at least until there is more certainty.”

Anderson said there are some bright spots within the industry. She said packers are still operating and supply chains are currently intact and getting product to the places it needs to be. She also said the industry was well-suited to adjust to certain changes due to COVID-19, but it is still navigating uncharted territory.

“This pandemic has really caused problems that nobody could have really anticipated. We have been sort of lucky as the beef industry was better-positioned to pivot our supplies from food services to retail than some of the other retail markets, but that also takes time, but we’re seeing that happen, so that’s good,” Anderson said.

Anderson said everyone in the beef industry is dealing with unusual circumstances, but hopefully things will gradually stabilize. Until then, she urged producers to stay the course and contact the SDCA with concerns.

“I encourage everyone to remember that these are unprecedented times, and we are all doing our best to get through this,” Anderson said. “If they need to talk to somebody, reach out. We want to make sure people get through this in a way that moves the industry forward.”

Johnson’s full letter to Trump follows below: “Mr. President, Things are bad in cattle country... really bad.

As we’ve discussed before, market conditions for the cattle producer have been lousy for quite awhile. With COVID19, they’ve only gotten worse.

We need to get to the bottom of exactly what is going on, and why,” said Johnson in a letter sent to Trump. “A comprehensive approach is the only one that makes sense, one that includes the Department of Justice, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, USDA Packers and Stockyards and congressional hearings. As I said in the wake of the Holcomb fire, whatever investigation is done needs to be “for real,” rather than “for show.”

You have wide-ranging powers, sir, and Rural America will be grateful for your efforts to ensure a rigorous investigation by the right people on a rapid timeline.

Sincerely, Dusty Johnson, South Dakota”

TWO-HEADED CALF BORN AT WESSINGTON SPRINGS CATTLE RANCH

W

By Erik Kaufman The Daily Republic

ESSINGTON SPRINGS — Scott Kolousek was in the middle of the 2020 calving season when one of his cows began to have problems delivering its calf.

After what began as a routine delivery, the calf got stuck halfway through the process. Its front legs and head were out, but Kolousek and the attending veterinarian couldn’t make any more progress. At that point, the veterinarian decided a cesarean section would be necessary for delivery.

“The heifer started calving and everything looked normal. Two front feet and a head came out, but it wouldn’t go any farther,” Kolousek said.

When the calf was eventually delivered, it had died during the process. But what Kolousek saw once it had been removed from the womb stunned him.

The calf had two heads.

“I’ve been on the farm since 1996, so that’s 24 years, and I’ve never seen anything close to that before,” Kolousek said.

The calf had two heads and two completely separate spinal columns that were joined at the pelvis, attached to which was a single tail.

Kolousek said the calf was likely destined to be a set of twins, but the embryo never completely split during the pregnancy, resulting in the unusual calf. A similar situation also creates Siamese twins in humans.

“It was a set of twins in which the egg didn’t fully split, like Siamese twins,” Kolousek said.

Kolousek, who raises several hundred head of cattle near Wessington Springs, said after a rough calving season in 2019 due to the extremely wet weather, the 2020 season had been going much smoother. He had even had the good fortune to see healthy sets of twins born, something that is always an unexpected blessing.

“This must be the year for twins.

This year we had 60 calves and four sets of twins. I don’t know, the cows are just throwing a lot of twins. And that’s good,” Kolousek said.

TWO-HEADED CALF: Page 7

A rare two-headed calf was delivered to a heifer on the Scott Kolousek farm near Wessington Springs recently. The stillborn calf had two heads and two spinal columns attached to a single pelvis. Experts estimate this kind of birth in cattle represents approximately 0.39% of all births.

6 SOUTH DAKOTA FARM & RANCH APRIL 2020

TWO-HEADED CALF From Page 6

Twin births with cattle may not be the most common, but a conjoined pair like the one Kolousek helped deliver last week are far more rare.

Dustin Oedekoven, state veterinarian for South Dakota, said the state may see one such birth a year, though the incidents aren’t necessarily that widely reported.

“It’s about once a year, and it is interesting,” Oedekoven said.

Oedekoven noted a 1998 study from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada that indicated calf births that match the description of the Kolousek calf account for around 0.39% of all births.

“It probably does happen more often than gets reported, but it is still uncommon,” Oedekoven said.

Kolousek said after the calf was delivered, they put it aside in an on-site cooler after washing it clean.

His wife Amber took several pictures of the anomaly. Despite the fact it was 1 a.m., she posted a few of those pictures on Facebook to share with family and friends.

“It happened at 1 a.m. and we all just kind of took a lot of pictures of it and washed it off,” Kolousek said. “We do our own meat processing on the farm, and we have a walk-in cooler.”

While he was unsure what to do with the strange calf, social media brought more than a few interested parties to his doorstep.

Along with the amazed discussion among family and friends, several taxidermists had gotten wind of the calf and approached him about selling it with the intention of it being mounted.

“My wife put it on Facebook after it was born at 1 a.m. Saturday, April 4.

By Sunday evening it had 10,000 shares. It kind of exploded,” Kolousek said. “We had taxidermists from Maine, New Jersey, Rapid City, a couple in Sioux Falls.”

Kolousek said he interacted with several of the taxidermists and settled on selling the calf to one in Sioux Falls.

“He’s going to mount it and actually take the skeleton and clean it and glue it all back together and have it standing next to the body mount,” Kolousek said. “I don’t know if it will be on display or where it will be on display, but it could be a six to nine-month process to get it skinned and mounted.”

The death of a calf is always a disappointing development for a cattle producer, but the unusual circumstances surrounding the appearance of a conjoined twin has made for an interesting anecdote at the very least, Kolousek said. And it’s added a little color to a calving season that is already head and shoulders better than the year previous.

“It’s been going great, no problems.

Winter is a big factor, and last year it kicked our butt,” Kolousek said. “And this year has been a dream.”

DURING SOCIAL DISTANCING FARMERS UNION CONNECTS FARMERS AND RANCHERS

By South Dakota Farmers Union URON — You are not alone.

This is the message South Dakota Farmers Union (SDFU) leadership and staff are working to convey to the more than 19,000 family farmers and ranchers they serve.

“Social distancing can become very isolating and we don’t want anyone to feel alone,” explains Karla Hofhenke, Executive Director. “Even though we are a rural state, we are a very social state. Until COVID19, everyone was always going and doing. Now that we cannot leave the farm for church or a school sporting event, we want our members to know that we are in this together.”

To connect family farmers and ranchers, SDFU is utilizing communication tools the

organization already has in place — a newsletter, website, social media and good old-fashioned phone calls.

“Working from our homes, farms and ranches our employee team is calling members just to check in, learn how COVID is impacting them, their farm and their family’s life,” Hofhenke explains.

The organization is asking members to also share their stories on social media and through an online questionnaire. As a grassroots policy organization focused on supporting family farms and ranches throughout South Dakota, SDFU is able to do more than listen.

“We serve as a voice in Pierre and Washington D.C. for our members.

In the midst of this new crisis, we are sharing our members’ concerns and ideas with Congressional leaders on a daily basis,” says Doug Sombke, SDFU President. “Before COVID, our farmers and ranchers were already facing economic struggles due to factors out of their control. And now, they are dealing with price gouging as multi-national food processors somehow use this crisis as an excuse to pay less for commodities.”

Just knowing someone is listening helps, explains Dallas cattle producer and rural banker, Hank Wonnenberg.

“There are a lot of depressed farmers and ranchers right now because of the poor economy and flooding. When I visit the Farmers Union website and see they are working on the issues important to us, it makes me feel heard. These are the times I know Farmers Union is working hard for its members.”

Like all parents of school-age children, Hank and his wife, Melissa have the added job of helping their daughters, Elizabeth, 8 and Lydia, 7 with remote school assignments.

To learn about their experience, visit South Dakota Farmers Union Facebook page.

Do your part to keep South Dakotans connected In addition to helping keep farm and ranch families connected with each other as well as information on agriculture issues, SDFU is using its website as a platform to share information about COVID-19.

“We want our members to have easy access to information and resources to help them stay safe,” explains Luke Reindl, SDFU Communications & Legislative Specialist.

A cow/calf and crop producer from Wessington Springs, Reindl says because he is used to daily face-toface interaction with his colleagues, phone calls with members have been good for him too. “Interacting with members is what I and my colleagues love most about working for South Dakota Farmers Union. So, working from the farm has been a challenge.

I love my family. But it is nice to visit with someone outside of my family; learn what is keeping them busy on their farm or ranch — just staying connected.”

SDFU encourages other businesses, organizations and individuals to reach out and help keep South Dakotans connected during these uncertain times.

“Making a phone call is a simple action, but it can have a big impact,” Hofhenke explains. “Even if you only have time to call one person each day. Know that it makes a difference.

We are in this together.”

BOADWINE FARMS WINS 2020 BEEF QUALITY ASSURANCE

F

or modern dairy farmers, the amount of technology that goes into daily operations isn’t much of a surprise anymore. But many consumers may not realize that the industry is long past using a bucket and pail as the main tools in a milking parlor.

This is one of the reasons why Lynn Boadwine, owner of Boadwine Farms in Baltic, South Dakota, and Heidi Zwinger, herd manager at the farm, are invested in sharing the stories of the dairy and beef industry to consumers. The dairy farm opens its facilities to the public dozens of times each year through open houses, tours and school programs.

“We want people to come out and see where the cows live, to let people

come inside and see what’s going on,” Zwinger said.

Boadwine Farms’ dedication to consumer advocacy, combined with its educational programs and commitment to excellence in its facilities, has earned the company the 2020 Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) — Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Dairy Award.

The farm was homesteaded in 1874

by Lynn’s great grandparents. It has grown with each generation through the family’s passion for dairy and beef, openness to new technologies and techniques, and providing continual training and skill development opportunities for its employees. As of the late 1980s, the farm had just 40 milking cows in addition to hogs.

By 2000, the farm had grown to 600 milking cows. And now, more than 2,000 Holstein dairy cows are cared for at the farm, with 2,500 acres planted with rotating crops of corn, alfalfa, rye grass and forage sorghum to provide feed. The farm also employs 40 Boadwine Farm team members, dedicated to the operation and care of the animals.

Cows are milked three times each day in a double 30 parallel parlor and housed in barns equipped with ventilation and sprinkler systems.

Electronic RFID tags on each cow allow the farm’s computer system to track daily milk production. The milking parlor also features lights at udder level that create a bright, cheerful atmosphere for both employees and

guests, as well as allow employees to better inspect cows for disease and hygiene during milking.

The farm’s use of technology not only benefits cow comfort but increases employee efficiency and reduces its impact on the environment.

Boadwine Farms also credits using the BQA and Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) programs for standardizing animal care practices and increasing the farm’s sustainability — both programs built on many of the farm’s existing protocols.

“BQA was easy to implement because we were following a lot of the guidelines already,” Zwinger said.

BOADWINE FARMS: Page 12

BOADWINE FARMS

It’s important to Boadwine and Zwinger that not only are employees From Page 11 given opportunities for development, but that the farm helps prepare the BQA guidelines combine common next generation of beef and dairy sense husbandry techniques with producers, too.

Boadwine Farms accepts interns scientific knowledge to raise better quality cattle. The results that from South Dakota State University’s science and production Boadwine Farms has seen in following dairy BQA and FARM guidelines at its programs to teach them herd health facilities have been so positive that key management, calf care, milking employees are required to maintain procedures, and stewardship, as BQA certification, and they expect well as farm management practices. employees or contractors who haul The farm also hosts SDSU’s Dairy their animals to be BQA Transportation Challenge Team to allow students certified.

dairy and beef stories with local communities and statewide.

Each year, Zwinger and other employees volunteer to teach more than 2,000 attendees about dairy farms and milk production during Dairy Fest in nearby Brookings, South Dakota. They record videos to show fourth grade students across the state what happens on a dairy farm through the Adopt-a-Farmer program from South Dakota’s Ag United organization.

“They take pride that the milk they produce stays in South Dakota for processing and is on the shelves at local grocery stores,” said Heidi Carroll, livestock stewardship field specialist and BQA coordinator with the SDSU Extension.

Additionally, for three years the dairy has brought pregnant cows to the birthing area at the Sioux Empire Fair’s annual Pipestone Discovery Barn to show thousands of fair attendees live calf births and answer questions about livestock care and food production. The farm also leases calves to local 4-H youth to give them experience showing and working with cattle.

Through all of Boadwine Farms’ activities, everything circles back to one focus — the care and development of their herd.

“Cows are still my ‘why,’” said Zwinger. “Every day, there’s room for improvement. Five years from now, I want to see us better than we are today.”

WORLD SOY CHLOROSIS EXPERT PLANS RETIREMENT North Dakota State University’s R. Jay Goos spent 40 years teaching, adding value to farmers and teaching thousands of students

By Mikkel Pates Forum News Service

ARGO — R. Jay Goos is about to leave the building.

After 40 years as a soil science professor and researcher at the North Dakota State University, Goos will retire later this year as a land grant university professor with a full career that includes helping farmers tackle some of their biggest production problems.

An earlier farm crisis shaped his career. Goos, 65, grew up at Treynor, Iowa, about 20 miles east of Omaha, Neb.. His father, Bob, ran a feedlot operation. He expanded in 1969 — just before the historic Russian grain purchase. U.S. grain prices spiked, which was bad for feedlots. Interest rates spiked, too.

“We had the full-born farm crisis in the 1980s, but it was all building in the Nixon administration,” Goos recalls. ”Beef prices were rising with inflation and Nixon put price controls on beef. With that, and the skyrocketing grain prices after the Russian wheat deal, the cattle industry was hurting long before it filtered down to the grain farmers and what we normally think of as the farm crisis of the ’80s.”

Bob Goos advised his sons get an education in case there wasn’t a farm to come back to.

There wasn’t.

NB to SD to ND

Goos was recruited to South Dakota State University, where his father’s friend, Duane Acker, was dean of agriculture. (Acker went on to become president of Kansas State University, and assistant secretary of agriculture for science and education.) At SDSU, Jay studied mechanized agriculture and earned his bachelor’s degree in 1976, his master’s degree in 1978.

“I like all aspects of science and the soil involves all aspects of science — biology, mineralogy, physics, chemistry,” he says. He thought he’d be a soil mapper with the USDA, but had an offer to graduate school.

Goos went on to Colorado State University in Fort Collins. He completed his doctorate in 1980 and came to NDSU. During a wideranging career, Goos has worked on fertilizer issues on a variety of crops — alfalfa, grass-alfalfa mixtures, malting barley and buckwheat.

Among the distinguished professors giving up their lab coats this year will be R. Jay Goos, a North Dakota State University soil scientist who is a world expert in iron-deficiency chlorosis in soybeans, and in recent years taught introductory soil science to thousands of students.

But he’s most known for work on iron-deficiency chlorosis (“IDC”). It occurs where the water table wicks to the surface.

“That lime pushes the PH up, and it’s the wetness and the lime, and the salts too, that make soybeans turn yellow at the top of the plant.

The growing point is injured and the yields are just devastated,” he says.

Chlorosis passion

Goos likes to recall that once a newbie in the ag chemical trade called Goos to ask if the professor knew anything about the disorder, which can wipe out farmers’ production.

“I said, ‘I am the living god of iron-deficiency chlorosis.’”

The man later called him back to say — he’d checked — Goos was only half-joking.

Goos acknowledges putting “heart and soul” into IDC, the bane of many soy growers. He’s concluded that selecting chlorosis-resistant varieties is the most effective control. But varieties don’t last very long anymore.

“The seed companies rotate a variety out every three or four years,” he says. “Once a poor agronomist or farmer finds an effective (IDC) resistant variety, next year it may not be on the market, and they’re starting all over trying to find a resistant variety.”

AgweekTV: Leaving a Legacy Scientists have developed a 1-to-

5 color scale for rating impact.

When soybeans are about 1 foot tall, they can be rated for color — Green is “1” and slightly yellowed is “2,” for a 20% yield decline; “3” is 40%, “4” its 60% and “5” is 80% yield decline.

The area around Colfax in southeast North Dakota is “ground zero” for chlorosis, and Goos helped establish a “Colfax Chlorosis Club.”

“I figured if we can fight chlorosis in Colfax we can fight it anywhere,” he says.

Goos used three weapons in the fight: a resistant variety, about 3 pounds of an effective chelate and wider rows.

SOY CHLOROSIS: Page 14

APRIL 2020 SOUTH DAKOTA FARM & RANCH 13

SOY CHLOROSIS From Page 13

Any variety will turn yellow if the conditions are bad enough.

Wetness can influence chlorosis, but sometimes the cause is unexplainable.

Goos found that foliar sprays aren’t effective because the compounds don’t “translocate” or move to unsprayed areas on leaves or into new leaves, where they can reduce yellowing.

He’s also found that excessive nitrates can worsen the chlorosis problem.

“Watch out for the ‘Lake Wobegon Effect,’” where “all of the children are above average,” referring to the IDC resistance ratings given by seed companies (and to the fictional Minnesota community). “Many seed companies give IDC ratings that are too optimistic,” he says.

He also warns of “hanky-panky in the iron fertilizer trade.” Iron fertilizers like FeEDDHA vary in quality, and can contain ineffective isomers and condensates, he says.

“Sometimes fertilizer companies make claims about the purity of their FeEDDHA products that is not true.”

In part because of his work, state regulators are beginning to require that fertilizer companies state the purity of the iron fertilizer. “If it’s a lower-quality product and it’s priced cheaper, it’s not a problem, just apply a heavier rate. But if lower-

quality products are presented as being a higher-quality product, that’s a problem,” he says.

Reaching students

Until 2005, Goos was primarily in research but taught one course in soil fertility. When three professors retired suddenly, Goos took over the Introduction to Soil Science class.

Goos is the only professor in the NDSU College of Agriculture to win the Senior Career Teaching Award twice — 20 years apart.

Sarah Lovas, a farmer and crop consultant from Hillsboro, N.D., was one of Goos’ students in her undergraduate years. He was also her adviser in her master’s work in soil science. Today, she sits on the State Board of Agricultural Research and Education, which advises the Legislature on agricultural research priorities. Lovas says Goos is an excellent chemist and brilliant researcher whose “fingerprints” are on numerous innovations.

Lovas admired Goos’ teaching because of the work he would put into it, traveling around North Dakota to collect the soil cores —“pedons” — so that everyone in the labs would have a chance to feel the loam, the sandy loam, and the clay type soils.

“It took lot of time and energy and effort to do that. He would explain it so well. He really made it come alive,” she says. And if they didn’t have fun? “It was their own fault,” she says.

MINN.-BASED SCHWAN’S SEES DEMAND INCREASE DURING PANDEMIC Born out of a family dairy operation, Schwan’s has been delivering food for 68 years

M

By Jenny Schlecht Forum News Service

INNEAPOLIS — When Jennifer Rock made a recent Schwan’s order, she was surprised to see one particular out-of-stock item.

“I know here in Minneapolis, when I ordered my Schwan’s last week, I saw that broccoli was temporarily out of stock, which made me laugh because I don’t know about you but comfort food for me is like pies and ice cream treats,” says Rock, director of corporate communications at Schwan’s Home Delivery. “So I was actually pretty heartened to see that there are people who are still cooking really good meals, apparently really healthy stuff, when I’d just like to eat ice cream right now.”

As people across the world adhere to distancing guidelines or are sheltering in place due to COVID-19 prevention efforts, many are finding food delivery services important or vital to their ability to stay home and stay healthy.

Coresight Research’s U.S. Online Grocery Survey 2019 showed that even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of U.S. shoppers buying groceries online, rather than shopping in stores, already was growing, with 36.8% of U.S. consumers reporting buying groceries online, compared to 23.1% in the company’s 2018 survey.

Amazon was the top spot for online shoppers, with 62.5% of people who bought groceries online having them delivered from Amazon. Walmart, Target and other large food retailers also saw their online purchases increase, though some retailers allow shoppers to purchase groceries online but pick them up in person.

While there are many newcomers to the food delivery game, Minnesota-based Schwan’s has been at it for 68 years, Rock says.

And while most delivery options are only available in more rural areas, Schwan’s refrigerated trucks have been a familiar site in rural areas for decades.
