OPINION

The NFU-C report anticipates this well-founded anger and addresses it straight on. “(F)armers are not doing anything wrong” by using fertilizer, it stresses. “Our levels of nitrogen use are functions… of the core economic, material, and food flows and patterns… driven by concerted corporate and government policies at the highest levels.”

In short, our personal, national, and international fear of hunger dictates a food system where “farmers are embedded in a multi-trillion-dollar system that pushes for ever-higher yields, production, exports, [and] agribusiness profits” in a “ceaseless drive to endless increase.”

Acknowledging that fact won’t make it easier or less “risky” for farmers to “renounce fertilizers and step outside [this] economic logic… Instead, the rules of the game must be changed,” writes Qualman. “Incentives need to be altered. Market power must be rebalanced… We must get less of what we need from industry and more from biology.”

If, for example, he suggests, Canada “rolled back” its nitrogen fertilizer use “by perhaps one-third” to “the tonnage [used] in the period 2008-2010” there would be “significant net benefits” for farmers and the environment.

But farmers can’t foot the entire bill for needed changes in fertilizer use which would be wise for both farms and the environment, says Qualman in a telephone interview. “These significant costs would be shared by the government” because the key benefit, “a better environment,” would benefit all.

And this isn’t a “for or against” fight because “it is likely that most farmers, other citizens, and policymakers will be against continuing [nitrogen’s] massive overuse.”

If, of course, we don’t want to cook our own goose, er, duck, first.

His endeavor When Ron was just a young boy went well … until the inevitable hapgrowing up in Arizona, he was told he pened one peaceful morning.

His parents were probably enjoying one more cup of coffee before the day’s work began. Their daughters were the first one to go outside that morning.

They had barely closed the house door before the parents heard them screaming, “Shunks! Skunks! Skunks everywhere.”

Now my morning breakfast has often gotten cold because the cows were out, but thankfully my brothers never raised skunks.

Of course, the great escape had to happen when Uncle Jack, the famed skunk whisperer, just happened to be away from home.

had to go hunting with his father.

After a few expeditions, it was he who was strongly urging his father to go hunting — whether there was time or not in his father’s schedule. It was a good way to spend time together.

Eventually, the sport of hunting also became something he pursued for its own sake. There is the allure of conquest that is appealing. The senses of sight and hearing are heightened to full alert as the challenge to catch one’s prey is great. The brain is stimulated to outsmart the quarry that has the one goal of staying alive. One misstep, a sudden move, a sneeze at the wrong time, could send a wary animal fleeing.

As his father did, Ron took the time to teach his children and grandchildren the fundamentals of hunting.

There is a certain bonding which takes place sitting around the campfire in the great outdoors.

Other times, Ron appreciates the solitude of hunting alone. The crisp, cool air of a late autumn day is invigorating. God’s creation is a wonderful place to explore. It’s a sanctuary of God’s own making where worshiping one’s maker comes easily.

Many hunters have a bucket list of animals and places to hunt. Ron is no different, as he plans to hunt in all 50 states. He’s hunted some exotics in Texas — some that I have never heard of: the aoudad, axis deer and blackbuck. (My computer didn’t even try to autocorrect aoudad. Once again proving the computer is smarter than me.)

Perhaps Iowa is one of the 24 states Ron hasn’t been to yet on his quest.

One just never knows if some morning, when my farmer answers the knock at the door, it will be Cousin

Ron asking permission to hunt!

Hunting in our little corner of the world may not be as challenging — because we have only to look out the kitchen window to see the wildlife.

The distinct call of the pheasant tries to tell us this is his territory. There are plenty of deer that cause damage to my trees each year.

The raccoons in the area gave my farmer’s corn field a five-star positive rating this year! Now if only that would translate to a bonus in price at the elevator for the tastiest corn.

But if he came here to hunt, Ron would have to leave his home in western Wyoming — which in my mind has to be a hunter’s paradise. He’ll admit the bighorn sheep hunts there have been his most challenging and amongst the rarest he has been privileged to do.

Sometimes I wish our parents had taken the time to teach us to hunt and fish. Apparently, hunting skills are only one generation away from becoming extinct as my children also do not know how to hunt.

The same seems to hold true for going to church. Many people do not enter a church door because it is not their custom. Who would have wanted to be the generation that set that example?

Things can be reversed. The great outdoors is calling me to learn to hunt for many reasons. Church bells are inviting you to come and worship because who wouldn’t want their children to learn the things of God in every way possible?

What drivers should know about farm vehicles on the road:

• Farm equipment is large and heavy, making it hard for operators to accelerate, slow down and stop.

• The equipment makes wide turns and sometimes crosses over the center line.

• Farm vehicles can create large blind spots, making it difficult for operators to see approaching vehicles.

Safety guidance for motorists:

• Pay attention at all times when driving.

• Watch for debris dropped by trucks.

• When approaching farm equipment, slow down and use caution. Put additional space between your vehicle and the farm equipment ahead. Don’t assume the equipment operator can see you.

• Be patient and wait for a safe place to pass.

• Wear seatbelts.

• Drive with headlights on.

Safety guidance for farm equipment operators:

• Use lights and flashers to make equipment more visible.

• Use slow-moving vehicle emblems on equipment traveling less than 30 mph.

• Drive slow-moving vehicles in the right-hand lane as close to the edge of the roadway as possible.

• Consider using an escort vehicle when moving equipment, especially at night and if the equipment is large enough that it may extend across the center line.

Those words didn’t come; but after some investigation into the cause of the standing water, my husband saw it had come from the nearby waterway, which had overflowed.

In a drought year.

It simply wasn’t adding up — especially for someone like me, who used to get the answers to fifth grade math story problems from the back of the book.

Further investigation by one of the guys on our harvest team (who knows almost as much about wild animals as God does) found that muskrats had skillfully created a dam in the waterway. When the one rainfall we got that year that amounted to anything, it resulted in a regulation, four-alarm flood situation in that corner of the field.

If our last name is attached to bad potential, you just know it’s going to happen.

We all stood around in the dark that evening with lights shining on the dam, in utter amazement that small animals can bring these large machines and work goals to a stop.

It’s the same shivery feeling you get when you think a tornado can take down your house, but so can a team of microscopic termites.

Long story short, the muskrat construction team was trapped and hauled away (at least for that year), the waterway was opened back up by mechanical hands, the water started flowing again, and after things dried

out in that corner of the field, we resumed operations.

Only someone of our heritage would have to wait for dryness during a drought year.

Fast forward to that winter when I am hanging out with our grandchildren at their house. We traipsed to the basement to play farm (which our very young grandson loves to do). As with generations of Schwaller children, he farms the carpet down there in high fashion. He instructed me that he would be grandpa (driving the combine), and I should be grandma, because I had the tractor and grain cart.

I thought I could handle such a commission of names and duties.

When we got over to one corner of the ‘field,’ I saw a few of his small stuffed animals underneath a wire basket which was turned upside down.

I asked him what that was. He said, “Oh, I’m just trapping muskrats.”

Apparently now to a four-year-old, that’s just part of the corn harvesting process.

Maybe muskrats have some useful purpose; but their name still has the word “rat” in it, so in my book, they’re dead to me. Except when they bring such delight to little boys, who thinks it’s pretty big stuff to catch them in their flooded-out corn fields made of carpet fibers.

The base price will be used to calculate and crop insurance indemnity payments on farms insured by YP policies in 2022, as well to determine the revenue guarantee for corn and soybeans insured by a RP policy that did not include the harvest price option. The base price is also used to determine revenue guarantees for RP insurance policies, if the harvest price is lower than the base price. It is likely that the soybean base price will also be used for soybean RP policies in 2022, since the final soybean harvest price will likely be below the base price.

Optional units vs. enterprise units Farm operators in areas with variable yield losses on different farm units who chose optional units for their 2022 crop insurance coverage rather than enterprise units may be in a more favorable position to collect potential indemnity payments on this year’s crop losses. (Enterprise units combine all acres of a crop in a given county into one crop insurance unit, as compared to optional units, which allow producers to insure crops separately in each township section.) In recent years, a high percentage of crop producers have opted for enterprise units, due to substantially lower crop insurance preSee THIESSE, pg. 11A

Oct. 7

The stems are a little tough. We’re hoping to start on beans next week.”

Erickson combined “a little bit of corn” to check on the moisture. “It was pretty wet when we started,” he said, “but it’s getting better every day. A little moisture would be nice, but the dry weather is good for getting the crop out.”

Erickson’s cattle are still grazing, but he wants to get them in by the time deer hunting season starts. After that, Erickson will turn them back out to graze corn stalks until about mid-November. “We’d rather have them grazing as long as we can,” he said.

When you farm farther north, unpredictable fall weather is always a challenge; but one thing is certain: “Days are getting shorter,” Erickson said. “We don’t get as much done and find ourselves going a little later (in the day).” v

long-range forecasts,” she admitted.

“Things can turn on a dime this time of year.”

Johnson spoke with The Land on Oct. 11 as she prepared for the final push. “We were able to wrap up soybeans on Saturday (Oct. 8),” she said. “Yields were above what we thought. We’re not breaking any records. I’d say we’re right about the five-year average.” Moisture ran around 14 percent.

The Johnson farm is still in the process of repairing bins and is holding off on starting the corn until they have somewhere to put it. “Lots of corn is getting started around here,” Johnson said. “It’s running 16 to 22 percent moisture, so it’s going right into the bin.”

   

Corn yields are in the 170-200+ bushels per acre range. “Continuous corn-on-corn is seeing lower yields and lighter soils are worse,” Johnson said. “We’re making a few combine repairs and then we’re going to try to find some dry corn we can take right to the elevator. Everything is standing perfectly right now so we don’t want to wait too long.” v Scott Winslow’s farm is a hub of activity as he interScott Winslow rupted his busy schedule to talk with The Land on Oct.

“We’re done with beans,” he said. “Yield is about Oct. 6 average. Sudden death syndrome knocked a little off the yield.”

“We started corn yesterday. A shot of rain — about a tenth of an inch — kept us out of the field.” Winslow said the corn is running about 25 percent moisture.

“We had a bad case of tar spot. I’d like to get it out of the rain before cobs start falling off.” He’s estimating yields will be three or four bushels behind last year.

On top of field work, Winslow is working on his grain dryer and washing hog barns in preparation for new arrivals. “The last of the pigs went Tuesday (Oct. 4),” he said. “The new batch arrives next Tuesday.”

“Things are going well so far — knock on wood,” Winslow said before heading back to work. “There are lots of beans in the field yet. I’d say beans are two weeks late this year. We had a pretty good frost on the 28th. The edge of the corn got nipped, but there’s enough heat inside the first couple of rows it didn’t affect much.” v

Most corn and soybean growers carrying RP coverage

THIESSE, from pg. 8A mium levels. Crop losses in many areas in 2022 were highly variable from farm-to-farm within the same county and township, which would favor the optional units for collecting crop insurance indemnity payments this year.

RP crop insurance calculations The 2022 crop insurance calculations for RP insurance policies with harvest price protection will likely function differently for corn and soybeans.

Corn — Since the harvest price for corn will likely be above the base price, the harvest price will be used for both the final revenue guarantee and the final crop value calculations. As a result, any potential crop insurance indemnity payments will require a yield loss comparable to the policy coverage level.

For example, an 85-percent RP policy will require a harvest yield greater than 15 percent below the APH yield. An 80-percent RP policy will require a 20 percent or greater yield loss, etc. For RP policies, any corn indemnity payments will be based on the higher corn harvest price, as compared to the base price for YP or RPE polices. At current corn harvest price projections, there could be a significant difference in potential indemnity payments with RP insurance policies in 2022, compared to YP or RPE policies.

Soybeans — Since the 2022 harvest price for soybeans is likely to be lower than the base price, the revenue guarantee will be determined by the spring base price and the harvest value of the crop will be determined by the harvest price. If the soybean harvest price continues at current levels, the “threshold yield” to initiate crop insurance payments will be at a higher percentage than the RP insurance coverage level and higher than standard YP or RPE insurance policies.

MARKETING

Grain Outlook Traders fearing transportation woes The following marketing analysis is for the week ending Oct. 7.

CORN — The week got off to a mundane start in post-grain stocks trading with equity markets shooting higher, the U.S. dollar softer, and favorable harvest weather. The U.S. dollar experienced its largest one-day decline on Oct. 4 after Australia increased its interest rate by a less-thanexpected half percent. However, when the Bank of New Zealand raised its rate by a half percent the next day, hopes for others to follow Australia’s leads were dashed. The U.S. dollar soared in response.

At mid-week, OPEC+ agreed to cut crude oil production by 2 mil- PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. lion barrels per day beginning in St. Paul November. This was rumored just a few days before OPEC’s meeting.

Many countries (Russia) are not currently producing their quota, so the actual reduction may be in the 1 million barrels per day area.

In general, corn was consolidating ahead of the Oct. 12 World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates report and as it waits for further yield reports.

Weekly corn export sales were dismal and below the lowest trade estimate at 8.9 million bushels.

Total 2022-23 export commitments of 521 million bushels are 50 percent behind last year. The fiveyear average of total commitments by this date is 34 percent and this year they are just 23 percent of the U.S. Department of Agriculture outlook. China has purchased 3.4 million metric tons of U.S. corn for this year compared to last year’s 11.9 mmt by this date. This suggests the USDA export outlook may be

too high.

The weekly ethanol report showed production rose 34,000 bpd to 889,000 bpd which was slightly higher than expected, but down 9.1 percent from a year ago.

This is the lowest production in nine years on a same-week comparison. Ethanol stocks fell by 1.01 million barrels to 21.7 million barrels. This was a larger decline than anticipated and a 39-week low.

This was the biggest one-week decline in 25 weeks.

Stocks are still 9 percent above a year ago. Gasoline demand was up 640,000 bpd to 9.465 million bpd.

This was a 41-week high, but unchanged from last year.

The August National Agricultural Statistics Service Grain Crush report showed 432.3 million bushels of corn were used for ethanol. This brought the crop year total corn for ethanol usage to 5.328 billion bushels compared to the USDA’s 5.33 billion bushel outlook.

Russian President Putin officially annexed the four regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia in Ukraine. This accounts for 18 percent of Ukraine’s total area. He has vowed to never give it back. Reportedly, 200,000 Russians have fled

Russia to escape the recent conscription order. The European Union added sanctions on Russia in response to the annexations.

Brazil’s first corn crop was 37 percent planted as of Oct. 5 and slightly ahead of the 34 percent average.

Conditions have been favorable. Conab is forecasting Brazil’s corn crop at 126.9 mmt compared to the USDA’s 126.0 mmt outlook in September. Due to dry conditions, Argentina’s corn planting was 12 percent complete as of Oct. 5 and the lowest in five years.

As of Oct. 7, there were 111 southbound (1754 barges) and 74 northbound (1138 barges) tows to transit through Lake Providence, La. which has been a bottleneck. Dredging is continuing. There are no significant rain events in the forecast to help alleviate the problem. And we still don’t know whether railroad workers will ratify the proposed contract.

We may not know until after the elections. The uncertainty of logistics heading into the heart of harvest may back up grain in the country more than many would like. One anonymous export trader said they couldn’t commit to additional sales through the Gulf due to the uncertainty of grain movement. It was estimated the cost of moving grain from Illinois to the Gulf costs twice what it costs to move grain from the Gulf to China. Higher transportation costs have pressured board and cash carries.

The average trade estimates for the October WASDE report: corn yield is expected to decline from 172.5 bushels per acre to 171.8 bu./acre. Production is forecasted to fall from 13.944 billion bushels to 13.885 billion bushels. Ending stocks at 1.124 billion bushels would be a 95 million bushel decrease from the September 1.219 million bushel forecast.

Outlook: Where are we going from here? December corn has stagnated between $6.54 and $7.00 per bushel. The upside in post-harvest trading may be favored with a softening U.S. dollar, more crude oil production cuts, dry weather in Argentina, and questionable events in Ukraine. One caveat, will we lose export demand permanently due to river logistics?

With most of the corn harvest ahead of us, we may see some near-term weakness; but I’m not expecting a washout without an unforeseen event. History favors a higher October market when gains are seen See NYSTROM, pg. 19

Soybean crush levels hit new contract highs NYSTROM, from pg. 14A in September, which happened this year. December corn in September gained 4.75 cents.

For the week, December corn gained 5.75 cents to $6.83.25; March was up 7 cents higher at $6.91; and December 2023 rallied 7.75 cents to $6.24.5 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — The new month began with our first daily export sale since Sept. 19 with 4 million bushels sold to unknown in what was considered routine business. The market seesawed back and forth from unchanged with higher equity and energy markets finally winning the day for a higher close.

However, the second half of the week brought lower prices as the U.S. harvest pushed toward 50 percent completion with yield reports “as expected” the most common theme.

The board crush levels hit new contract highs keeping processing very attractive. Brazil’s weather continues to promote planting and private estimates running significantly higher than the USDA’s 149 mmt forecast. Conab raised its estimate to a record 152.35 mmt. Argentina remains dry with over half of the region experiencing unfavorable planting conditions.

China was on holiday all week for Golden Week — although there were rumors of China buying a couple of U.S. soybean cargoes for November and interest in the December slot. November soybeans traded to their lowest price since late July and partially filled the downside gap.

The logistical issues on the U.S. river system were discussed in the corn section and will bring headaches for weeks to come. It was reported the largest barge operator in the United States called force majeure on the Mississippi River. Logistics are difficult with low water on the river system limiting movement and we don’t know yet if there will be a railroad strike down the road.

Weekly export sales were unimpressive at 28.6 million bushels, bringing total commitments to 1 billion

bushels. China has 14 mmt of U.S. soybeans on the books compared to 12.4 mmt last year on this date.

The August NASS Crush report was as expected with 175.1 million bushels of soybeans crushed. This is the second-highest August crush on record after 2019. For the 2021-22 marketing year, 2.203 billion bushels of soybeans were crushed which is in line with the USDA’s 2.205 billion bushel forecast.

Argentina’s national weather service is forecasting drier and warmer-than-normal weather for the next three months, keeping La Niña in play for the third year in a row. Argentina had its third-driest September in 43 years. While late planting doesn’t correlate to lower corn and bean yields, dry conditions from October through December do. Argentina had its driest September since 2006 with calendar year-to-date precipitation the lowest since 2013.

Brazil, on the other hand, has had good planting conditions with 5 percent of the soybeans planted vs. 3 percent planted on average.

The average trade estimates for the October WASDE report: soybean yield unchanged from last month at 50.5 bu./acre. Production is expected to be slightly higher at 4.381 billion bushels vs. 4.378 billion last month. Ending stocks are expected to increase 28 million bushels to 248 million bushels due to the bigger carry-in from the 2021-22 crop.

Outlook: How will the river export corridor barge limitations affect the basis and spreads? If you can’t ship, it will back up bushels in the interior; but numbers favor trying to get soybeans moved over corn.

Why would you want to take delivery if you can’t ship it? But if you owe export bushels, where do you get them? More headaches and uncertainty lie ahead.

Macroeconomic factors will contribute to big daily swings.

November soybeans dipped into the downside gap from $13.56 to $13.49.25 per bushel that was left from July but didn’t quite fill it. The gap is now from $13.50 to $13.49.25 per bushel. For the week, November soybeans managed a 2.25-cent gain at $13.67, January edged 3.75 cents higher at $13.79.25, and November 2023 jumped 14.75 cents to $13.55.75 per bushel.

Weekly price changes in December wheat for the week ended Oct. 7: Chicago wheat plunged 41.25 cents to $8.80.25, Kansas City dropped 22.75 cents to $9.68.75, and Minneapolis fell 14 cents to $9.68 per bushel. v

THE LAND — OCTOBER 14, 2022

www.thelandonline.com — “Where Farm and Family Meet”

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Managing Editor Paul Malchow.

No lakeshore, but...

W

hile Montgomery Orchard is a hit with visitors every fall, the enterprise wasn’t a popular decision with the Wardell family. But over the past two decades, Scott and Barb Wardell turned an old pasture into a relaxing getaway and thriving apple orchard.

“In 1997 we came into a little money and the family got together to decide what to do: buy a farm or a lake cabin,” Scott recalled. “We went around the table to vote and it was ‘lake cabin,’ ‘lake cabin,’ ‘lake cabin’… and I said, ‘fine — we’ll buy a farm.’”

Scott’s parents had a hobby farm near Kilkenny, Minn., so the Wardells began looking in the area for acreage of their own. “At that time, everybody was looking to get out of the city and move to the country,” Scott said. “You couldn’t find 40 acres to buy … and if you did, it would cost you a fortune. Then we found this place and got almost three times the acreage for less money.”

The acreage was mostly CRP land with a 22-acre abandoned pasture. “It was completely overgrown,” admitted Scott. “In 1999 we planted our first trees.”

Today Montgomery Orchard features 12 varieties of apples ranging from sweet to tart — including Honeycrisp, Haralson, SweeTango, Cortland, Sweet 16, Honeygold, Zestar and Chestnut Crab. Bags of apples await in the Orchard’s store and visitors are encouraged to pick their own.

But the Wardells planted more than apple trees.

Scott estimates the family planted 20,000 evergreens

Le Sueur County

on the property which features three miles of trails.

There is also a six-acre corn maze featuring trivia questions along the way to provide a learning experience for young and old alike.

After starting out with a small pole shed, Montgomery Orchard now contains two gleaming white buildings: the store which houses various products — along with the picked apples and caramel apples for the sweet tooth; and the Cider Haus which contains the equipment for making cider, hard cider and wine.

“Barb’s the carpenter of the family,” laughed Scott.

“This is all her.”

The deck at the Cider Haus was a popular spot on this particular day as patrons sipped beverages and listened to live music. The Wardells offer flights of different ciders for sampling as well as glasses of cider and plum wine for the more experienced pallet.

Bottles of cider and wine are also available for purchase; although law prohibits the bottles to be opened on premises.

A food truck is also usually on the grounds during the weekend.

The Montgomery Orchard opens the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday of September through the end of October. More information can be found on the Orchard’s Facebook page or by visiting the website at www.montgomeryorchard. com. v

Beyond-advanced technology.

Acuron® GT corn herbicide is the only glyphosate premix available with the active ingredient bicyclopyrone (BIR).

This advanced technology makes Acuron GT the ultimate post-emergence-plus-residual herbicide. It allows it to outperform the competition with faster knockdown, enhanced control and longer-lasting residual. This weed control performance can lead to greater yield potential in glyphosate-tolerant corn.

Bicyclopyrone 27 | HPPD Inhibitor

Mesotrione 27 | HPPD Inhibitor

Faster knockdown control of many weeds such as giant ragweed and waterhemp.

S-metolachlor 15 | VLCFA Synthesis Inhibitor

Enhanced control of more grass and broadleaf weeds.

Glyphosate 9 | EPSP Synthase Inhibitor

Longer-lasting residual allowing earlier applications to protect yield.

The formula at the forefront of innovation.

Acuron GT is designed with four active ingredients, including a full-season use rate of bicyclopyrone that helps deliver the enhanced control. It’s this combination of four active ingredients and three sites of action that makes Acuron GT the ultimate post-emergence corn herbicide.
