Small ND family dairy farm closes; once-common way of life is almost gone ■

B

INFORD, N.D. — This is the story of four bachelor brothers from Binford, N.D., who had to quit the business they love.

It’s also the story of a way of life that’s nearly vanished from the Northern Plains.

The Rahlf brothers, all in their 60s, have operated a family farm south of Binford their entire lives.

They raise about 250 beef cattle, 300 chickens and a few hundred acres of grain. Until last year, they also operated a B dairy and milked about 60 cows, producing about 800 gallons of milk every two to three days.

Photos by John Brose, Special to Agweek Last summer, the Rahlfs say, the dairy organization with which they did business told them that it would no longer buy their B milk, which is used for cheese and other processed dairy products.

INSIDE:

Farms that produce B milk are inspected regularly and held to high health standards. Farms that produce A milk are inspected more often and

! This is the Rahlf brothers’ dairy barn near Binford, N.D. The brothers have closed their B dairy farm – the last in their county – because they could no longer find a commercial buyer for their milk.

Structural changes in cattle feeding industry

■ BROOKINGS, S.D. – The U.S. Depart-

ment of Agriculture’s February cattle on feed report shows a continuation of the trend toward fewer, but larger, feedyards, says Darrell R. Mark, adjunct professor of economics at South Dakota State University. “In fact, there were 2,000 or 2.7 percent fewer feedyards with less than 1,000 head capacities on Jan. 1, 2013 compared to a year ago,” Mark says. He says the report shows there were 30 fewer feedyards with 1,000- to

REGIONAL NEWS

1,999-head capacities at the beginning of the year and there was an increase of 10 feedyards in the past year with capacities of 2,000 to 3,999 head. The number of feedyards with 4,000- to 15,999-head capacities remained constant in the last year at 515.

The number of feedyards with 16,000- to 23,999-head capacities and 24,000- to 31,999-head capacities increased by two and three, respectively, which are 2.3 percent and 5.8 percent increases. The number of 32,000- to 49,000-head capacity feedyards declined by five, while the number of 50,000-

plus head capacity feedyards was unchanged at 66. In 2012, the feedyards with capacities of less than 1,000 head marketed 2.854 million head. “That’s only 11 percent of total fed cattle marketings for the year, despite the large number of these small feedyards – totaling 73,000,” Mark says. He says this is a decline from 12 percent of total marketings in 2011, and from 15 percent 10 years ago. “The largest 50,000-plus head capacity feedyards marketed 33 percent of all fed cattle in 2012. This is up from 25 percent 10 years ago. The second largest category of

feedyards – feedyards of 32,000 to 49,999 head – marketed 15 percent of fed cattle last year,” he says. USDA’s report says the total capacity of the 1,000-plus head feedyards was 16.9 million head on Jan. 1, a decline of 100,000 head since Jan. 1, 2012.

“Despite that decrease, capacity utilization has worsened for feedyards due to larger declines in the number of cattle available for feeding,” Mark says. As of Jan. 1, about 66 percent of total capacity in the 1,000-plus head feedyards was being utilized, compared with 70 percent a year ago. “The data from this report indicates that the structural changes in the feedlot industry that were evident over the last several years continued, and even accelerated, in 2012,” Mark says.

He adds that with high feed costs likely to continue in much of 2013 – at least until the 2013 corn harvest – it appears that the number of feedyards will continue to decline – especially for the smaller operations, but loss of a few large feedyards this year likely will occur.

SD project shelved over potential for sun glare

■ YANKTON, S.D. – A planned greenhouse

Nutrients

Redline

and fish production facility in southeast South Dakota won’t see the light of day because of the potential for lawsuits generated by sunlight glare reflected off the structure.

Developer Randy Golden says he is shelving the Heartland Harvest Farms project because he is worried that nearby homeowners might sue over sunlight glare from the planned 270,000-square-foot glass greenhouse. Golden, president of RC Investments Co., earlier this year conducted an experiment in which he tried to replicate the glare and view it from a ridge above the property along state Highway 52 in southern Yankton County. “We’ve all pulled up behind a car before when the sun hits the glass just right and it blinds you,” he says. “Well, I had an epiphany moment back in January. We know how sensitive people are just by having a flashing sign out on (the highway) or having lights turned up at just the right angle. Can you imagine what that whole 600- by-450foot solid glass building would look like?

“The reason I’ve decided to pull the plug was to avoid a lawsuit,” Golden told county commissioners recently. The unassembled greenhouse has been sold to a buyer in New Jersey and the property might be of interest to Yankton County, Golden says. The County Commission in 2009 rezoned 36 acres of land to make way for the Heartland Harvest Farms project, which was to include the greenhouse and fish production facility, along with a worm farm, an aquatic culture area, a shop and office area, a retail center and possibly a restaurant.

MDA confirms brown marmorated stink bug

And now imagine you’re a corn plant.

■ ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has confirmed a detection of brown marmorated stink bug in Duluth. The bug was originally collected in January 2011, inside a Duluth residence. The bug is notorious for invading buildings to over-winter in a warm space. The adult bugs are a half-inch long, speckled brown and shaped like a shield. The species is distinguished from other brown bugs by an alternating blackand-white color pattern on the margins of its abdomen and dark antennae with light-colored bands. The bug can be a household nuisance, but also attacks agricultural crops.

MDA is monitoring the brown marmorated stink bug to determine how prevalent it is in Minnesota.

OPINION

Grand challenge for agriculture Task of feeding growing population presents opportunity for SD ■

By Barry Dunn Spring is a season of hope. It is appropriate that the first day of spring occurs during National Agriculture Week, March 17 to 23. It is a time to recognize the abundance provided by agriculture and celebrate the opportunity it holds for South Dakota and humanity.

As farmers once again move into the fields to plant crops, and also begin calving and lambing season, it’s important to keep in mind the challenges ahead. The “Grand Challenge of the 21st Century” is to produce enough food, fiber and fuel for more than 9.5 billion people by 2050, using less land, less water and less energy than is used today and to do it in a sustainable manner.

More than food This challenge reaches beyond simply feeding 2.5 billion more people. Globally, the standard of living is increasing and diets are improving in nearly all corners of the world. The higher standard of living means more people globally are including animal protein in their diets, increasing demand for beef, pork and turkey that are grown and processed here in South Dakota.

Yet ultimately, we must double food production to meet growing populations and higher demand from global consumers.

We’ve come a long way. In the 1960s, onethird of the world’s population was starving or near starvation. Each American farmer fed 25 people. From the tragedy of millions was born the Green Revolution. Brilliant

agricultural scientists such as Norman Borlaug dedicated their lives to unlocking the secrets of seed, and ultimately increasing the production of basic foods of the world — such as wheat, rice and maize.

Tragically, hunger persists today, but on a smaller scale. One American farmer now feeds 155 people and one-eighth of the world’s population is starving or near starvation. By making tough decisions and focusing our precious and limited resources into agricultural science and food production, we have been able to address global hunger in a meaningful way.

The drought of 2012 earned a place in history books as one of the hottest and driest on record in South Dakota and the Midwest. About 25 years earlier, the region experienced a similar drought of epic proportion. The drought of 2012 and 1974 were nearly equal in their potential for devastation.

Scientific solutions But there is one critical difference: science. In 2012, science-driven changes in farming produced an additional $3.1 billion in South Dakota crop yields that were not possible in 1974.

Research breakthroughs have made it possible to grow crops with substantially less water. It’s a nearly equal combination of better crop genetics, and better sciencedriven management techniques. More than half of the scientific breakthroughs are in the form of management practices used by farmers and are the product of South Dakota State University’s research efforts from our land-grant university partners.

Science helps us all take small steps.

Sometimes the steps occur over generations making it difficult to see and understand the value of what has been accomplished. But we know that the return on investment for every dollar in agricultural research and extension in the land-grant universities of the north-central United States has been $15 to $25. This has bene-

fited not only farmers, but also agricultural-based businesses and communities across South Dakota.

As dry as South Dakota fields were in 2012, the producers using no-till farming practices actually had the equivalent of 2 inches more rain per acre than they did in 1974. Corn yields in the drought of 2012 were 61 bushels an acre higher than were possible during the drought of 1974. Soybean yields were eight bushels an acre higher. Spring and winter wheat yields were 18 bushels an acre higher.

Economic foundation As demand for agricultural products grows stronger, agriculture will continue to be the economic foundation of South Dakota. We can see the impact of agricultural growth in communities across our region in the form of new or remodeled food processing plants, biofuel plants, and investments in infrastructure. With continued strategic investments in research, the Grand Challenge will be met and with it will come enormous opportunities for South Dakota.

South Dakota Gov. Dennis Daugaard, state legislators, members of the Board of Regents, commodity groups and agricultural leaders have worked together to increase funding of agricultural research at SDSU by nearly $1.5 million next year.

Through the years, this investment will add millions more to the state’s economy. We appreciate the increased funding from the state. Continued investments like this will be how our state harvests the opportunities of the future.

It is indeed a new day for agriculture, and with it, many challenges, but also with the promise of new opportunities for us all.

Humane Society is inconsistent ■

Group is off the mark in debate with pork producers

By Mike Bogle WINDOM, Minn. — I have been following the back and forth debate between the Humane Society of the United States and pork producers with a certain detached interest.

I have known a few producers through the years and none

were sadistic.

Years ago, I worked on a hog farm. I didn’t like to see sows in crates, but they did not stay there long and did not seem over-stressed by it. It saved a lot of baby pigs.

I now work part-time on a turkey farm. They get a little crowded toward shipping time, but again, seem more or less

contented.

The Humane Society tends to anthropomorphize animals. I’ve never met a turkey that was interested in knowing me.

Companion animals, on the other hand, tend to have more personality. They are still not on the same level as humans.

I personally do not eat pork, but do not look down on those

who do. As a driver, I know without careful attention it’s easy to go into the ditch. I believe the Humane Society has good intentions and does much good work, but have gone into ditch on this issue.

SD Ag Department marks 110 years

Maintaining, building SD’s top industry takes effort ■

By Walt Bones PIERRE, S.D. — In 1885, South Dakota and North Dakota, jointly known then as Dakota Territory, were managed by a board of agriculture.

When South Dakota and North Dakota officially became states in 1889, the board continued to manage both areas with citizens from each state. As each state continued to separate and grow on their own, South Dakota developed the Department of Horticulture, Manufactories, and Domestic Arts, established in 1903.

One hundred ten years later, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture continues to promote, protect, preserve and improve South Dakota’s agriculture. That mission statement is carried out by seven divisions within the department: office of the secretary,

policy, services, development, state fair park, wildland fire and resource conservation and forestry.

The programs within SDDA are administered by almost 200 full-time employees and have three different sources Bones of funding (general funds, federal funds and other funds or fees). As far as the total tax dollars, or general funds, the SDDA receives about 0.04 of South Dakota’s annual budget.

Diversity in the department

The programs and projects we support, fund and administer reflect the diversity within South Dakota’s agricultural industry.

In the past year, we have helped promote and fund farmer’s markets and local gardens. We have commented on federal policies that would have crippled farmers regardless of size. Our services and development staff have provided technical expertise and guid-

ance to not only Bel Brands USA and its 400 jobs coming to Brookings, but also the first artisan cheese plant in the state near Crooks.

Our crews have fought forest fires, range fires and pine beetles on private and state land. We have helped finance a robotic milking machine to a familyrun 60-cow dairy, allowing it to continue milking cows efficiently and economically. This also improved the family’s quality of life by giving them the benefit of not being tied to the cows all day, every day.

At the same time, we have helped larger dairy, swine and beef operators grow their existing business in South Dakota and found locations for livestock producers to relocate to the state.

The South Dakota State Fair is growing and provides entertainment, education and a platform to highlight the vast array of projects the state’s 4-H and FFA kids have worked on all year. Our conservationists administer more than $1.5 million to plant trees and kill weeds.

We also annually train and certify more than 8,000 private and commercial pesticide applicators. Our inspectors

watch over dairies, nurseries, feed and food processing plants along with registering more than 7,500 products annually for economic, environmental, health and safety reasons.

We have a great story to share and are constantly trying to tell the consuming public what our agricultural producers are doing, how they are doing it, and why they are doing it that way. Our new website, www.sdda.sd.gov, has been running for more than a year and provides a wealth of information on our programs and projects. You can also connect and interact with us using Facebook and Twitter (@SDAgriculture).

It has been an honor to serve as your secretary of agriculture for two years now. We have worked to always be inclusive knowing that “at the table of opportunity, there is room and need for everyone.”

So please join me as we celebrate 110 years of SDDA and Ag week March 18 to 22.

Thank you all for making agriculture South Dakota’s No. 1 industry.

Editor’s Note: Bones is South Dakota’s secretary of agriculture.

Getting the info

Survey summarizes how farmers stay informed

ARGO, N.D. — Often, as I talk with farmers and ranchers in Agweek country, I ask them about their sources of information. I think it’s their most vital farming input other than land.

Farmers have both their traditional and emerging sources of information. The time-tested sources are ag-related publications, broadcasts, meetings and conferences. There also is a whole new array of digital sources — often offered by or repackaging traditional news sources.

Farmers are busy and are increasingly using smartphones to sort it all out. It is getting more difficult to grab the attention of farmers as they get bigger and busier.

The U.S Census of Agriculture in 2007 said the average age of farmers was 57.1. It’s also significant that on today’s bigger farms, about a third say they have at least three decision makers, but that the vast majority were still in their 50s and 40s. It’s important to think about how different generations acquire and learn information.

Recently, I looked at a survey, conducted by the American Association of Business Information Companies. Agweek isn’t a member of this group, but many publications like us are. The group’s Agri Council is co-chaired by Tom Taylor, publisher of the High Plains Journal in Dodge City, Kan. The survey was mailed in late 2011 and early 2012 to 3,700 names provided by Agri Council members. Of the 1,200 that were returned, about 1,062 identified themselves as farm owners, operators or managers.

Among the publicly available summary highlights: ■ Digital communications are playing bigger roles and will get bigger.

■ Agricultural magazines and newspapers continue to be a dominant information source for business-to-business markets, and respondents expect that to remain unchanged or increase in the next three or four years.

■ Retailers are the second most important source to validate and inform purchase decisions.

■ Larger farms are more actively engaged with all media channels.

One question in the survey was “How often do you read, view, visit, attend or use the following types of agricultural media or information sources?”

Responses were: ag magazines and newspapers (82 percent), general daily newspapers (73 percent), ag newsletters (47 percent), ag radio programs (41 percent), ag television programs (37 percent), ag e-newsletters (30 percent), ag dealers and retailers (22 percent) and ag manufacturers and suppliers (20 percent). None had changed much from a 2010 survey.

Only one category — ag websites — showed a statistically significant change, increasing to 40 percent from the 35 percent category.

Curiously, the respondants in the survey did not vary significantly by age. All of the responses for magazine use were more than 80 percent for ages 45 and lower, 45 to 64, and 65 and over.

Digital use was most common for ages 45 and younger (72 percent, at least weekly) compared with ages 45 to 64 (59 percent) and over 65 (35 percent).

I thought it was interesting 74 percent said they were more likely to receive information about new ag products and services from ag magazines and newspapers. The other top sources for this kind of information were ag dealers and retailers (43 percent) and farm shows (11 percent). Significantly, 65 percent said they would likely continue to use traditional and digital media for help in running their farms and ranches.

LATEST NEWS ■ Proposed federal legislation would ban the export of American horses for slaughter, reinstitute a ban on slaughtering them in the U.S., and protect the public from consuming “toxic” horse meat. The measure, called the Safeguard American Food Exports Act, comes after revelations that horse meat has been mislabeled as beef in Europe. Sponsors include Sens. Mary Landrieu, D-La., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Reps. Patrick Meehan, RPa., and Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. The bill would outlaw the killing of American horses for human consumption and prohibit transporting the animals across the U.S. border for slaughter in Mexico and Canada. Proponents of the bill contend that tens of thousands of American horses a year are exported for slaughter in a foreign industry that produces unsafe food for consumers. A federal ban on slaughtering horses in the U.S. took effect in 2006, but the law lapsed in 2011, opening the door for a New Mexico company to open a slaughterhouse there soon. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced its plan to process an application for inspecting horse slaughter at Valley Meat Co. LLC in Roswell, N.M. Valley Meat Co. owner Rick de los Santos told the Los Angeles Times in December that a new horse slaughterhouse in his state makes sense. He says he is tired of sitting in southern New Mexico and watching countless truckloads of American horses en route to Mexico for slaughter. But animal advocates say when it comes to horse slaughter, there is no such thing as “humane.”

North Dakota Supreme Court ruled last month that more than 400 locked-out workers in North Dakota are eligible for unemployment benefits from Job Service North Dakota.

That decision reversed a lower court’s ruling that said the workers were not eligible for benefits from Job Service North Dakota because state law prohibits unemployment insurance for workers involved in labor disputes. Nearly 1,300 American Crystal Sugar workers in North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa have been locked out since Aug. 1, 2011, after their union rejected the cooperative’s proposed contract. Crystal Sugar spokesman Brian Ingulsud says the company pays into an insurance fund so the unemployment benefits “have an impact on us.” Fargo, N.D., attorney Dan Phillips, who represented the locked-out workers, says he’s disappointed Crystal Sugar is trying to get the state Supreme Court to change its mind. “Crystal Sugar is doing nothing more than trying to be punitive to its lockedout workers and punish them even further,” he says.

Bill addresses veterinarian shortage

■ WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sens. Tim Johnson, D-

S.D., and Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, on March 13 continued efforts to end the shortfall of veterinarians in rural areas by reintroducing the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program Enhancement Act. The legislation would provide a federal income tax exemption for payments received under the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program and similar state programs that encourage veterinarians to practice in smaller and rural communities. “The shortage of veterinarians in our rural communities has a huge impact on our farmers and ranchers whose livelihoods depend on access to animal care,” Johnson says. “The Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program is a critical tool to expanding access to veterinary care.” He says the legislation has the potential to increase the number of veterinarians placed in underserved and shortage areas by more than 30 percent.

■ The Canadian government is warning Washington it may retaliate if the U.S. brings in a new, more restrictive trade rule on how beef and pork product exports are labeled.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture proposal announced March 8 calls for foreign producers to list on the package of meat products where the animal was born, raised and slaughtered, as well as other packaging restrictions. “The proposed changes will increase the discrimination against exports of cattle and hogs from Canada and increase damages to Canadian industry,” Canada’s Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says. The U.S. says the new rule would help it comply with a World Trade Organization decision last year that found its country-of-origin labeling regulation discriminated against Canada and Mexico. The Canadian government has said one year after that regulation was imposed

by Washington in 2008, shipments of Canadian cattle into the U.S. dropped by half and exports of slaughter hogs declined by 58 percent. Ritz calls the new proposed rule “extremely” disappointing and says it would make the discrimination worse, hurting Canadian producers and the meat industry. He says Ottawa will respond if the U.S. doesn’t back off, but did not say how. “Our government will consider all options, including retaliatory measures, should the U.S. not achieve compliance by May 23, 2013, as mandated by the WTO.” The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association and the Canadian Pork Council issued statements saying they share Ottawa’s concerns. The pork council estimates the U.S. government’s current meat labeling rule has already cost Canada about $1 billion per year in reduced beef and cattle exports. “The proposed rule is supposed to remove discrimination found by the WTO after a lengthy expensive challenge by Canada,” the council said in a release. “It does not do this, indeed, it exacerbates the problems.” USDA says its country-of-origin rule is designed to help consumers make informed decisions about the food products they buy.

Federal legislation would ban slaughter of US horses

I have a pretty smile, long hair and the energy of a girl half my age. I’m a single parent with three teenage daughters. I have my own catering business and also live on my family farm. I am busy and don’t have time to find a man, but would like one in my life.

I am always on the go, except when I relax on my front porch in the summertime. Boring I am not, that’s for sure!

5’6”, 131 pounds, 52 years old.

I have abs that would put many gym bunnies to shame. Anyone who farms knows the bad times and what needs to be done to get through on a day-to-day basis. I love to garden, workout, cook, visit friends and family. I would love to take a road trip across the US and also try white water rafting.

‘Game-changing technology’

Mitchell SD. 800-995-1943 - Manvel ND 800-582-4269

It’s called electrostatic particle ionization and an Olivia, Minn., company says the technology can help confinement livestock producers be more efficient.

Put simply, EPI “scrubs the air” to create healthier air for pigs to breathe, says John Baumgartner, president of Baumgartner Environics.

His company manufactures and sells EPI Air, a patented dust reduction system that generates electrically charged ions, which clear the air of dust and other harmful emissions such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide.

The system recently received high marks from Murphy-Brown LLC, the world’s largest pork producer. MurphyBrown used the technology at its commercial nurseries in Milford, Utah.

The project, which involved 600,000 pigs in what EPI Air calls a “systemwide commercial performance,” not merely a test, found that the system reduced swine mortality and increased daily weight gains at the Utah plants.

“Yes, we are indeed pleased; 600,000 pigs don’t lie,” Bob Coffelt, MurphyBrown’s business development directors, says in a news release.

His company plans to install the technology in all its grower and finishing facilities, Coffelt says in the release.

David Newman, North Dakota State University Extension Service swine specialist, says he’s heard of the EPI technology and the Murphy-Brown tests, but isn’t familiar with the details.

Nonetheless, the basic concept appears sound, he says.

“It’s about reducing dust and improving air quality. We know that if you can improve air quality, you’ll improve efficiency in your pigs. That’s been scientifically proven,” Newman says.

USDA roots

The Olivia company’s product builds on research conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Athens, Ga., Baumgartner says.

Baumgartner Environics licensed an ARS patent for the technology to use in agriculture. The company further developed the technology, making improvements and taking costs out of the system.

The Olivia company Baumgartner has submitted several patents of its own to reflect improvements it’s made, he says.

EPI Air is a modular system. One power supply for the system can treat about 15,000 square feet, at a cost approaching $1.70 per square foot, Baumgartner says.

The system installed at the MurphyBrown facilities in Utah paid for itself in just 75 days, according to Baumgartner Environics.

The cost of operating the system is roughly the same as the cost of running a 100-watt light bulb, Baumgartner says.

No special outlet or wiring is needed, he says.

‘Healthy skepticism’ Baumgartner started Baumgartner Environics in 1989 as an environmental consulting company.

Later, it became an environmental products company, focusing on providing systems to agriculture that address environmental issues and contribute to profitability.

Baumgartner Environics’ next product is EPA Air II. Billed as an improved version of the original technology, it will be released in April.

The next version will, among other things, concentrate on providing cleaner air in the “pig breathing zone,” according to the company.

Some people have what Baumgartner calls “general healthy skepticism” to the product.

“The commercial data is so good that most people find it hard to believe.

That causes skepticism. You can’t see these ions. It’s like ‘How can this possibly work? It doesn’t cost much to operate. How can this work?’” he says.

In time though, “It’s going to become understood that this is a technology everyone producing confinement livestock in the future will adopt in their operation,” Baumgartner says.

“I think it’s game-changing technology,” he says.

REGIONAL NEWS

ND potato firm inks deal with Nonpareil

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

FARGO, N.D. — A Grand Forks, N.D.based potato shipper has formed an exclusive marketing partnership with an Idaho company that supplies fresh potatoes to be sold under the Betty Crocker brand — one of few national “fresh” or raw potato retail brands.

Paul Dolan, general manager of Associated Potato Growers Inc., announced the deal in a recent story in The Packer, a national trade publication based in Kansas City, Mo. “Things worked out and we are now the sole Red River Valley supplier for Betty Crocker,” Dolan told The Packer on March 4. “It’s pretty big news around here, possibly the biggest we’ve had.”

■

Will pack spuds for Betty Crocker

Dolan, who was out of the country and not available to comment, told The Packer that the co-op formed a marketing partnership with Nonpareil of Blackfoot, Idaho.

Nonpareil has been working with Betty Crocker since 2011. The Betty Crocker brand is owned by Minneapolis-based General Mills, which markets consumer brands such as Cheerios and Pillsbury.

Dolan said it wasn’t yet clear what the Betty Crocker volume would be. He said APGI officials met with Nonpareil and Betty Crocker officials in January and that his company was already filling Betty Crocker bags. It isn’t clear whether or to what extent AGPI or others in the valley had been packing for the Betty Crocker brand prior to the new exclusive arrangement, or whether it means more jobs.

Dolan said he thought his company’s family-owned, cooperative nature appealed to the Betty Crocker vision of “home-cooked meals and time-tested recipes.”

APGI will supply red and gold potatoes in 3-, 5- and 10-pound bags, as well as “bulk bins” for the Betty Crocker brand.

AGPI is the largest combined fresh potato packer in the Red River Valley. It has been in business since 1947 and is a cooperative of 18 growers from the Dakotas and Minnesota.

Nonpareil describes itself as one of the nation’s largest growers and shippers of fresh potatoes and a leading manufacturer of dehydrated potato products.

Nonpareil’s website says it started in 1946 in New York City as Idaho Potato Packers, a distributor of fresh Idaho potatoes and onions from Idaho into New York City. It opened an office in Blackfoot in the 1950s, established a farming operation there in the 1960s and built a corporate office and technical testing center there in 1995.

Company officials didn’t return messages from Agweek to talk about how many regional exclusive agreements they have.

Ted Kreis, marketing and communications director for the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association in East Grand Forks, Minn., says AGPI is the largest fresh potato shipper in the Red River Valley area, with three warehouses and wash plants in North Dakota in Drayton, Grand Forks and Grafton.

Kreis says the Betty Crocker deal is the second national brand “exclusive” marketing arrangement that involves a valley-area potato company. The first occurred when Potandon Produce of Idaho Falls, Idaho, became the exclusive marketing agent for Campbell Farms of Grafton. Potandon markets under the Green Giant Fresh national brand.

Also, although it doesn’t involve a national brand, NoKota Packers Inc. of Buxton, N.D., became part of Fresh Solutions Network LLC, a marketing, category management and innovation services company, forming a marketing alliance with several other companies and shippers around the country.

“It’s a wave of the future,” Kreis says, of the marketing alliances.

In October AGPI increased its storage capacity by 60,000 hundredweights, according to The Produce News, a New Jersey-based trade publication.

DAIRY

Continued from Page 1 held to even higher standards.

They often require more equipment, too.

Now, with no market for its milk, the Rahlf dairy is closed.

Most of the 60 milk cows have been sold to other dairy operators.

The brothers hope to find a grant to finance the cost of a new barn. A new facility could allow them to produce A milk, for which they presumably would have a market.

But the Rahlfs are facing the hard truth that their dairying days may be over.

“It’s tough. Milking has always been part of our lives,” says Daniel Rahlf as he sits inside the small house he shares with his brothers David, Jerald and Tim. It’s the house in which they grew up, the house that once was home to their parents and seven siblings, too.

Daniel shrugs and adds, “It’s the way things are now. Things have changed so much. Farming has changed so much.”

At one time, small family farms that included dairy cows were common across much of the Northern Plains. The farms, relying heavily on family labor, milked 40 to 60 cows, raised some livestock and grew crops on a relatively small number of acres.

Griggs County, in which the Rahlfs live, once had an estimated three dozen family dairy farms.

Today, with the Rahlfs’ operation out of business, the county has none, according to the North Dakota Department of Agriculture.

“No dairies. It’s kind of hard to believe,” Daniel says.

What’s happened in Griggs County is common across the Northern Plains. Small, diversified family farms generally have given way to much bigger operations that specialize in a handful of crops such as wheat, corn and soybeans.

Economies of scale encourage producers to increase the size of their operations, and bigger farm equipment allows them to do it, experts say.

Milk Producers Inc. would no longer accept their B milk.

They say they think the decision reflected trucking costs.

AMPI operates in six Upper Midwest states.

Sarah Schmidt, AMPI communications director, tells Agweek that transporting B milk from dairy farms in eastern North Dakota to a B dairy plant in South Dakota was expensive.

North Dakota has two A dairy plants, one in Fargo and the other in Bismarck. It has no B dairy plants.

About a year ago, AMPI talked with some eastern North Dakota B milk producers about converting their operations to A milk, which could be transported a shorter distance to the A dairy plant in Fargo, on the North Dakota-Minnesota border, she says.

Some of the North Dakota B milk producers declined to switch to A milk and subsequently left the dairy business, she says.

Ninety-eight percent of AMPI milk is Grade A, Schmidt says.

The Fargo plant is operated

by Cass-Clay Creamery. AMPI once owned the plant, but sold it last year to Kemps.

The Rahlfs say they dealt with AMPI. Rachel Kyllo, a spokeswoman for Kemps, says the Fargo plant handles only A milk and that she has no information on the Rahlfs or their B milk.

Transportation costs High transportation costs have caused a number of B

Of North Dakota’s 25 remaining B dairy farms, only a handful are in the eastern part of the state.

“As dairies get fewer and fewer, transportation costs mount up. There’s less milk out in the country. The trucks have to go further and longer,” Carlson says. “In some cases, they (the dairy companies) have subsidized transportation.”

At a certain point, dairy companies “just can’t subsidize that kind of transportation any

more,” he says. “It becomes too expensive to go get their (B producers) milk.”

The state has 92 A dairies.

Even in Minnesota, the nation’s seventh-leading dairy state, B dairies are uncommon.

Last year, the state had 3,832 A dairies and 389 B dairies, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service.

South Dakota ranked 20th in U.S. dairy production last year.

North was Dakota 35th and Montana 36th, according to the annual survey by Progressive Dairyman magazine.

Different lifestyle

Transportation costs aren’t the only thing that’s hurt the dairy industry, Carlson says.

High feed costs cut into dairy profitability, while strong crop and beef cattle prices encourage diversified ag producers to drop dairy and concentrate on other parts of their operation, he says.

“But what’s hurt probably more than anything is the family labor. You’re there seven days a week. You’re committed to it. It’s hard to find people to milk,” Carlson says. “It’s hard to live that lifestyle.”

Jim Broten, a veteran Dazey, N.D., farmer and businessman, has known the Rahlf brothers — whom he calls “the boys” — almost all his life.

“Milking cows is a 24-7 job.

You just don’t find many people who want to do it anymore,” he says.

he U.S. Census of Agriculture, conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, illustrates the big decline in small farms.

North Dakota had about 10,300 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 2007, the last year for which results of the Ag Census are available.

The state had 13,800 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 1987 and 50,700 farms of that size in 1945.

In 1943, William and Alice Rahlf bought the farm now run by their four sons. For every five farms of 220 to 999 acres back then, North Dakota had only one farm of that size in 2007.

The same trend exists in South Dakota and Montana: ■ South Dakota had about 9,700 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 2007. That was down from 15,300 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 1987 and 40,200 such farms in 1945.

■ Minnesota had 24,400 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 2007. That was down from 35,500 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 1987 and 50,300 such farms in 1945.

Montana’s situation isn’t as clear-cut.

The state had about 6,500 farms of 220 to 999 acres in 2007. That was up from 5,600 farms of 220 to 999 acres in the 1987, but down from 13,650 such farms in 1945.

Eric Sommer, deputy director of the National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Montana field office, says he’s uncertain what caused the increase from 1987 to 2007.

But changes in reporting practices appear to be at least partly responsible.

Sommer notes that the 2007 Census, for the first time in Montana, counted small farms that contain only pasture and small farms with only a handful of horses.

More information on current farm size in the Upper Midwest will be available after results of the 2012 Ag Census are tabulated and released.

DAIRY

Continued from Page 11 The decline of small family dairies, and small family farms in general, is “part of the changing times we live in,” Broten says.

Family and farming The Rahlfs say finding people to milk on their family farm was never a problem. This was a family, after all, with 12 children.

One of the 12 moved as an adult to Montana. The other 11 remain within 22 miles of Binford.

On a recent morning, 15 members of the Rahlf brothers’ extended family ate pancakes at the brothers’ kitchen table, their sister, Dorothy Everson of Hannaford, N.D., says proudly.

Everson and another sister, Kay Bear of Glenfield, N.D., come in to help the four bachelor brothers with cooking and cleaning.

Patty, Marilyn, Alice, Bill, Jim and Ron are the other siblings, Everson says.

The four brothers still on the home farm also are helped by their 20-yearold nephew, Tyler Keller.

“It’s nice. It’s really nice,” he says of working with his uncles.

He doesn’t know yet if he will make agriculture his permanent career.

“These costs (required to farm and ranch) are just crazy,” he says.

Long dairy decline A

t one time, dairy cows were nearly as common as people in rural areas of the Upper Midwest.

No more. Changes in economics and lifestyle have combined to pummel dairy cow numbers in the region.

For every dairy cow in North Dakota today, there were 39 in 1934, when the state had a record 700,000 dairy cows.

In January, North Dakota had only 18,000 milk cows, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana also have seen significant decreases in the number of dairy cows:

■ Minnesota had 465,000 milk cows in January, down from a record 1.9 million in 1944.

■ South Dakota had 92,000 dairy cows in January, down from a record 675,000 in 1934.

■ Montana had 14,000 dairy cows in January, down from a record 215,000 in 1934.

Milk cow numbers generally were rising in the Dakotas and Montana until 1934, when drought forced many producers to sell at least part of their herd, according to USDA records.

Use a little caution in interpreting the numbers. Dairy farmers have become more efficient through the years, producing more milk on average per cow.

To the west of the farmstead, 1½ miles away, is the still-active church to which they belong.

To the north, seven miles away, is Binford, a farm and ranch town of about 190.

On Fridays, the Rahlf brothers go into town and sell their eggs.

“People like our eggs,” Daniel Rahlf says.

The egg money is more important than ever to the Rahlfs. When their dairy operation closed, the brothers lost about $100,000 in annual income, they say.

They haven’t given up hope of finding a grant that would allow them to restart as an A dairy farm. At least for now, however, that’s only a hope.

The brothers still have about 20 dairy cows, which must be milked every day.

For a time, some of the milk was dumped in fields. Now, with spring calving under way, neighbors are using the milk to bottle-feed calves.

‘Hard to give up’ On this early March Day, Daniel Rahlf takes visitors to the dairy barn to see the animals in it.

The day is sunny and still, with temperatures pushing into the high 20s. A blizzard hit the region earlier in the week, but this day carries the promise of spring. If you enjoy caring for animals — and Daniel Rahlf clearly does — it’s a day to treasure.

He stands with visitors near the family dairy barn. A few calves are eating hay in a sunlit pen; one comes to nibble at Daniel’s clothes.

“Ah, it’s almost tame,” he says with a smile. He chuckles when the calf nibbles at the visitors’ clothes, too.

Even if the family dairy operation never reopens, the Rahlfs will continue to keep beef cattle and a few milk cows, to provide themselves with milk.

“But things won’t be the same without a commercial dairy,” Daniel says.

“We kind of hate to give this up,” he says. “But what are we going to do about it? It’s just the way farming is.”

States and can occasionally be an economic problem in soybean or corn fields, says Kelley J. Tilmon, South Dakota State University Extension soybean entomologist. For clarification purposes, Tilmon wants to ensure that readers do not confuse the Japanese beetle with the Asian ladybeetle, which is often called Japanese beetle by mistake. Japanese beetles are large – up to a half inch long – and metallic green and copper colored.

Adults feed on the leaves and flowers of more than 300 plant species. They are an introduced pest first found in the U.S. in 1916 in New Jersey. The South Dakota Depart-

ment of Agriculture monitors for this pest with traps, and it has been detected in several South Dakota counties, particularly in the southeast part of the state. Japanese beetle immatures are soil-dwelling white grubs that feed on roots and organic material and are often pests of turfgrass. The adults typically feed between the veins of leaves causing a characteristic lacy or “skeletonized” damage. They feed on a wide range of plants including various ornamentals, fruits and vegetables. Though they are more common in horticultural settings, they also feed in field crops, including corn and soy-

beans. In soybean fields, they cause defoliation of leaves, which reduces photosynthesis, and in corn they feed on silks, reducing kernel set. Though still a minor field crop pest, Japanese beetle outbreaks are becoming more common in Illinois and Iowa soybeans and corn. So far, in South Dakota, most reported problems with Japanese beetles have been in gardens near urban centers, but as it becomes more common in South Dakota, producers should also be on the lookout for this insect in crops.

Value of ND crops reaches historic high at $11 billion

■ FARGO, N.D. – North Dakota farm fields were golden last year, with the total value of crops reaching a historic high of almost $11 billion and several crops setting individual value records. The previous record for total production value was about $7.5 billion in 2010. In 2011, the total value of crops produced in North Dakota was about $6 billion.

One of the North Dakota crops that set a production value record last year was corn at $2.9 billion. Others included soybeans, dry beans, spring wheat and canola. Wet conditions that prevented millions of farm acres from being planted was the main difference between 2011 and 2012, says Darin Jantzi, director of the North Dakota field office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. “We had 5.6 million acres that didn’t go in the ground (in 2011) because of all of our flooding problems in the northwestern part of the state and almost the whole northern part of the state,” he says. Drier conditions prevailed in North Dakota in 2012, he says, adding that the state has largely escaped the arid conditions plaguing many areas of the Upper Midwest.

“Compared to a lot of states south of us, the drought isn’t as bad,” Jantzi says.

Diving prices worry sugar beet industry

Annual Sugarbeet Institute addresses price problems

■

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

FARGO, N.D. — Sugar prices have plummeted from a year ago, and that is already having its effect on sugar beet cooperative stock prices and stock joint venture markets.

Luther Markwart, executive vice president of the American Sugarbeet Growers Association, describes himself as an “eternal optimist,” but listed a number of negative trends for the sugar industry in an address to at the 51st International Sugarbeet Institute in Fargo, N.D., on March 13.

Markwart says sugar prices have plummeted from extremely high levels of the past two or three years.

Prices now are heading to “forfeiture” levels — where companies can forfeit sugar to the government when prices fall below loan levels.

“The administration is looking at all kinds of options about how we can avoid forfeitures,” Markwart told a room full of farmers and industry operatives at the annual event.

Sugar prices were extremely high in 2011 and 2012 because of droughts in Brazil, India and Australia, and tight inventories around the world, Markwart says. The U.S. Department of Agriculture prudently

cause of under-estimates of Mexico sugar coming into the country. Now, the U.S. has a beet and cane sugar bumper crop and the Mexican crop is big, too, so prices are heading down.

Federal budget woes affect the ability to pass a multi-year farm bill, which includes sugar provisions.

Markwart says the biggest fight in the farm bill is over cuts to food programs, which account for 80 percent of the farm program spending. The sugar program is technically operated at zero cost, but with quotas that control the amount of imports.

Markwart lists numerous perils for sugar. He describes recent congressional efforts to dismantle the sugar program — failing by increasingly slimmer margins. With redistricting, Republicans have increased their hold on congressional seats for the next 10 years, which will probably lead to more partisan division.

Sugar consumers — burned by high prices — are motivated, organized and coordinated to get rid of the sugar program because they felt the effects of 71 percent increases in sugar prices. “(High prices) shifted close to $3 billion a year from the ‘users’ to your side of the ledger,” Markwart told the farmers. “That helped you pay off a lot of debt, replace a lot of equipment and do all those very good things, but what it did was it stirred all of the users in all of the congressional districts.”

Kevin Price, a lobbyist for American Crystal Sugar Co., says the cooperative currently has no outstanding loans under the U.S. sugar program, so likely is SUGAR: See Page 15

As the market has soured, a loan is becoming more of a possibility.

Price tells Agweek that Crystal doesn’t use the loan program every year. That decision depends on market conditions, the need for capital and other sources of funds and other factors.

Typically, a relatively small amount of any crop goes under loan, he says. Every sugar company is different and some use the program less than others, he says.

Sugar program loans can go for up to nine months under the program, but all expire by the end of the federal fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. He says the company may use the program this year. “What is happening is that the sugar program is functioning,” Price says. “It’s been in place for decades to protect against a dramatic drop in prices.”

Markwart declined a farmer’s question about where prices are headed, saying there are too many variables.

American Crystal prices The sugar beet per-ton price for American Crystal’s 2012 crop is above $65 — and on a big crop — but that is still buoyed by the higher sugar prices that have dissipated. It isn’t clear how much those declines will affect the co-op’s prospects for 2013 crop payouts. One question for next year’s sugar production will be ongoing effects of a drought, especially in sugar beet areas that are running short on irrigation water.

This year’s sales prices compare to 2011 and 2012 when sales ranged from $3,500 to $4,000 per share and ended at $3,800 on March 16, 2012 — the earliest end to a season, says Jayson Menke, an Alerus ag stock specialist based in Grand Forks, N.D. To compare, share sales in 2010 and 2011 ranged from $2,750 to $3,500 per share and 2009 and 2010, with shares ranging from $2,300 to $2,600.

But sales prices have declined in the past three months.

Menke notes that the earliest sale in the current season was Sept. 7, at $4,200 per share. Those first 20 or 25 shares were sold within 5 minutes of them being offered to subscribers via email. Prices increased to a peak $4,450 in early October.

The last sale of more than $4,000 was at the end of November and since dropped to $3,850 in December and January, $3,800 in February and $3,700 in March.

“We deal in a very thinly traded security,” Menke says. “You don’t have to get many people excited about buying to affect the market.”

The market for joint venture deals — in which shareholders arrange for another grower to raise beets using their shares in a limited partnership — is also affected. Menke also works on those deals with the related Farmers National Co. He says that since January, the most recent joint venture deals his company has done have ranged from $400 to $425 per share. There has been “adequate demand” for the deals, but not the “fierce competition” during these months.

Before the Sugarbeet Institute, there were standing offers for operators to pay $350 to $375 per share for joint ventures, Menke says.

Last year at this time, shares were being joint-ventured at $425 to $450 per share.

The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources cites lingering drought and what is expected to be another year of below-normal runoff on the Cheyenne River. The reservoir is at 65 percent of storage. The federal Bureau of Reclamation holds senior water rights for the Angostura Reservoir, having a 1941 priority date. Those water rights provide for an annual fill of the reservoir for supplying irrigation water to Angostura Irrigation District. State officials say the bureau asked for the shutoff orders to the junior priority water right holders to protect the more senior rights of the irrigation district.

Leaders of two regional agricultural commodity groups say the suspension of some U.S. Department of Agriculture statistical reports won’t be good for their industry.

The potato stocks report, normally issued several times a year, measures grower, processor and local dealer potato storage stocks.

The absence of the report will add uncertainty to the market and complicate some growers’ marketing decisions, says Carl Hoverson, a Larimore, N.D., farmer and chairman of the board of the East Grand Forks, Minn.-based Northern Plains Potato Growers Association.

The Red River Valley of western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota is the nation’s leading producer of red potatoes and the only region that produces in volume for the chip, fresh, seed and process markets.

USDA also says it will suspend June on- and off-farm stocks for Austrian

winter peas, chickpeas, dry peas and lentils, and July acreage forecasts for Austrian winter peas, dry edible peas and lentils.

North Dakota typically ranks first nationally in both dry pea and lentil production, with Montana in second place for both crops.

The NASS reports have helped the region’s pulse industry measure its growth and chart its path forward, so their absence will be felt, says Shannon Berndt, executive director of the Northern Pulse Growers Association.

Limiting sugary drinks

Judge strikes down NYC ban ■

By Jennifer Peltz

Associated Press

NEW YORK — A judge struck down New York City’s pioneering ban on big sugary drinks March 11, just hours before it was supposed to take effect, handing a defeat to health-minded Mayor Michael Bloomberg and creating uncertainty for restaurants that had already ordered smaller cups and changed their menus.

State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling says the 16-ounce limit on sodas and other sweet drinks arbitrarily applies to only some sugary beverages and some places that sell them.

“The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of this rule,” Tingling wrote in a 36-page ruling that examined the scope of power that should be afforded an administrative board for regulations. The ruling was seen as a victory for the beverage industry, restaurants and other business groups that called the rule unfair and wrong-headed.

In addition, the judge says the Bloomberg-appointed Board of Health intruded on the city council’s authority when it imposed the rule, citing in part a case from the 1980s that questioned whether a state public health council had the authority to regulate smoking in public places.

The city vowed to appeal the decision, issued by New York state’s trial-level court.

“We believe the judge is totally in error in how he interpreted the law, and we are confident we will win on appeal,” Bloomberg says, adding that the city would emphasize to higher courts “that people are dying every day. This is not a joke.”

For now, though, the ruling means the ax didn’t fall on supersized sodas, sweetened teas and other high-sugar beverages in restaurants, movie theaters, corner delis and sports arenas.

“The court ruling provides a sigh of relief to New Yorkers and thousands of small businesses in New York City that would have been harmed by this arbi-

National Pork Board approves $3 million for summer marketing push

■ ORLANDO, Florida – New market chal-

lenges and new opportunities inspired the National Pork Board to approve adding $3 million in additional pork checkoff funds to bolster the 2013 domestic marketing budget during the crucial summer sales months. Recent pronouncements from key international trading partners undermining U.S. pork’s international market access threatens to slow pork exports from the record pace set in 2012. “With farmers still reeling from the high feed prices associated with the 2012 drought, we felt it was critically important

trary and unpopular ban,” the American Beverage Association and other opponents say.

While some eateries had held off making changes because of the court challenge, some restaurants had begun using smaller glasses for full-sugar soda.

Dunkin’ Donuts shops have been telling customers they will have to sweeten and flavor their own coffee. Coca-Cola has printed posters explaining the rules.

Frames Bowling Lounge developed — and is keeping — a slate of freshsqueezed juices as an alternative to pitchers of soda for family parties, investing staff time, buying new glasses and changing menus.

“All that cost a lot of money — but you have to go with the flow,” executive general manager Ayman Kamel says. Customers have started calling about the new juices, and “we’re all very excited about it,” he adds.

Bloomberg urged businesses to comply despite the court ruling, and not just because the city may yet prevail.

“If you know what you’re doing is harmful to people’s health, common sense says if you care, you might want to stop doing that,” he says.

The first of its kind in the country, the restriction has sparked reaction from pizzeria counters to late-night talk shows, celebrated by some as a bold attempt to improve people’s health and derided by others as another “nanny state” law from Bloomberg during his 11 years in office.

Limiting calories, fat

On Bloomberg’s watch, the city has compelled chain restaurants to post calorie counts, barred artificial trans fats in restaurant food and prodded food manufacturers to use less salt. The city has successfully defended some of those initiatives in court.

Because of the limits of city authority and exemptions made for other reasons, the ban on supersized beverages doesn’t cover alcoholic drinks or many lattes and other milk-based concoctions, and it doesn’t apply at supermarkets or many convenience stores — including 7Eleven, home of the Big Gulp.

The rule, if upheld, would create an “administrative leviathan,” warns Tingling, who was elected to the Supreme Court bench in 2001 as a Democrat.

that we are doing everything we can to keep pork moving through the marketplace,” says Conley Nelson, National Pork Board President, Algona, Iowa, farmer and pork production executive. “With 75 percent of our customers living in the United States, we believe there is a great opportunity to increase domestic demand for quality U.S. pork.” Ceci Snyder, the checkoff’s vice president of domestic marketing, told board members that the additional funds will make it possible to emphasize the value of pork in the meat case at a time when many consumers are feeling a financial pinch. “As we’ve listened to consumers, we know they are seeking affordable and convenient dinner ideas – and pork

The health board has considerable regulatory power, but its limits will likely be a central question in the appeal.

“I think it turns on whether the appellate division feels that the mayor has gone too far in ruling by decree in bypassing city council,” says Rick Hills, a New York University law professor who has been following the case.

In defending the rule, city officials point to the city’s rising obesity rate — about 24 percent of adults, up from 18 percent in 2002 — and to studies tying sugary drinks to weight gain.

The judge acknowledged the impact of obesity on the city’s residents, and noted that those bringing suit likewise didn’t dispute obesity is a significant health issue, but questioned how much sugary drinks can be blamed for it. Ultimately, the judge said whether the issue of obesity is an epidemic is not the key issue, but whether the board of health has the jurisdiction to decide that obesity is such an issue that it could implement a cap on consumption of sugary drinks.

The judge found that the regulation was “laden with exceptions based on economic and political concern.”

Critics say the measure is too limited to have a meaningful effect on New Yorkers’ waistlines. And they say it would take a bite out of business for the establishments that had to comply, while other places would still be free to sell sugary drinks in 2-liter bottles and supersized cups.

The city says that while restaurant inspectors would start enforcing the soda size rule in March, they wouldn’t seek fines — $200 for a violation — until June.

The ruling “serves as a major blow to Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s incessant finger-wagging,” says J. Justin Wilson at the Center for Consumer Freedom, created by restaurants and food companies.

“New Yorkers should celebrate this victory by taking a big gulp of freedom.”

Jose Perez, a fifth-grade special education teacher in Manhattan who was getting a hot dog and can of soda from a street vendor, called the ruling “deadon.”

“As pork producers, we know firsthand how high feed prices are leading to losses throughout our industry. We are excited about the opportunity to invest checkoff dollars in a summer campaign that we believe can grow consumer demand and create a return on investment for our producers.” The budget addition must be approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the National Pork Board budget.

Feds bust up crop insurance fraud

NC ring schemed to steal $100 million ■

By Michael Biesecker

Associated Press

RALEIGH, N.C. — Federal investigators have unraveled a massive scheme among dozens of insurance agents, claims adjusters, brokers and farmers in eastern North Carolina to steal at least $100 million from the governmentbacked program that insures crops.

Authorities say the ring is the largest of its kind uncovered in the country.

Forty-one defendants have either pleaded guilty or reached plea agreements after profiting from false insurance claims for losses of tobacco, soybeans, wheat and corn. Often, the crops weren’t damaged at all, with farmers using aliases to sell their written-off harvests for cash.

Prosecutors compared the case to busting a drug cartel, where federal investigators used a confidential informant to ensnare a key participant in the sophisticated fraud, who then agreed to implicate others. That first wave of prosecutions led to still more names to investigate.

“These defendants make it harder on the honest farmer,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Banumathi Rangarajan says. “The more they lie and steal, the more premiums and costs go up for the farmers who play by the rules.”

The federal crop insurance program was created during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s as a way to keep farmers from going bankrupt because of a bad growing season. The U.S. Department of Agriculture pays about 15 private insurers to sell and manage the policies, but taxpayers are on the hook for most of the losses. Payouts for 2012 have topped $15.6 billion — a figure that is still growing as new claims are filed.

Bruce A. Babcock, an agricultural economist at Iowa State University, says fraud likely accounts for a small percentage of that total.

“There’s always fraud in the crop in-

surance system, but I’ve seen nothing to suggest it is pervasive,” Babcock says.

“Eighty percent of the program costs are supported by the federal government. Some people see defrauding taxpayers like cheating on their income taxes.”

Those prosecuted in North Carolina raked in millions for years without detection until 2005, when prosecutors say USDA auditors used computer software to mine insurance claims data from across the country for outliers. Among the names identified was Robert Carl Stokes, a Wilson, N.C. crop insurance agent whose clients appeared to have consistently bad luck.

Through prosecuting Stokes and his immediate co-conspirators, authorities were led to dozens of others involved in similar frauds throughout eastern North Carolina, with crooked claims adjusters and tobacco brokers working with multiple insurance agents and their farmer clients. The USDA’s Office of Inspector General says the recent string of crop insurance convictions in eastern North Carolina eclipses similar investigations anywhere else in the U.S. “Our agents have been involved in a remarkable number of successful crop insurance investigations in this district, with substantial monetary penalties and restitution ordered by the court,” says Karen Citizen-Wilcox, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Southeast Region.

USDA requires tobacco growers to take out crop insurance ahead of the growing season, but payment on those policies is not due until after the harvest. If the crop is damaged by bad weather or leaf-munching bugs, the farmer is paid the difference between the value of his diminished harvest and the amount of the policy.

The scheme

According to Stokes’ indictment, the insurance agent recruited farmers to take out large policies and then claim large losses, even as they produced bumper crops. Stokes helped the farmers keep the true value of their

harvests secret by selling “hidden” tobacco through warehouse operators in on the scheme, who agreed to write checks to false recipients to help obscure who was really getting the money.

Stokes would then cash the checks for the farmers, keeping a percentage.

Stokes also would keep a share of the payout from the government-backed insurance settlement, according to prosecutors.

Charged with 14 felony counts, Stokes pleaded guilty in 2011 to two counts of conspiring to make false statements and to commit money laundering and was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

He also agreed to pay more than $16.5 million in court-ordered restitution.

Released last month from a federal penitentiary in West Virginia, Stokes is back in Wilson wearing an electronic ankle bracelet that allows federal authorities to track his movements. He declined to comment on his conviction, citing the three years of probation remaining on his sentence. Now 62 and unemployed, he is paying $200 every month toward the millions he still owes in restitution.

Five years after Stokes’ arrest, crop insurance fraud cases continue to cycle through the federal courthouse in Raleigh.

Last month, former Rural Community Insurance Services adjuster Jimmy Thomas Sasser was sentenced to four years in prison and to pay more than $21 million in restitution.

According to prosecutors, Sasser for years took cash payoffs ranging from $400 to $2,000 to falsify claims for hail damage at the behest of Stokes and another convicted insurance agent, Mark Davis Pridgen. As part of his guilty plea, Sasser, 61, also admitted to a felony charge of retaliating against a witness for threatening to beat and kill Pridgen, his former brother-in-law, for talking to investigators.

Now at home waiting for a spot to open up in a federal prison, Sasser says fraud is common in the crop insurance system, which offers limited ways for authorities to discover when loss estimates are exaggerated or falsified.

“I can tell you it’s everywhere, all across the country,” Sasser says. “When you let the farmers keep up with their own production, they can put that production anywhere they want to. All the adjuster does is take what the farmer gives him to work the claim. What the farmer does before the adjuster gets there, the adjuster has no idea.”

Recently, the wife of Southern Pines tobacco broker Jesse Ray “Tommy” Faulkner softly wept in court as U.S. marshals handcuffed her husband after he violated the terms of his pre-trial release by getting arrested for driving while impaired in February. Facing two conspiracy counts, Faulkner is set to be sentenced later this month after entering a plea agreement that remains under seal.

Faulkner’s lawyer, Kindelle McCullen, had pleaded with U.S. District Court Judge James C. Dever III to delay the sentencing and allow her client to go to rehab for alcoholism, citing what she described as his extensive cooperation with federal investigators in pending crop fraud cases.

Dever was unmoved, sending Faulkner off to jail and indicating his desire to go ahead with sentencing.

“I know I’ve been sentencing a lot of folks in this scheme,” the judge says.

“I’m ready to get on with it.”

Many of the dozens of defendants sentenced so far have received years in federal prison, agreeing to pay a total of $42 million in restitution and more than $900,000 in fines. That’s still less than half what federal prosecutors say taxpayers have been bilked.

Thomas Walker, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina, says the investigation is continuing and that others may still be charged.

“Crop insurance fraud is the same as mortgage fraud and health care fraud,” Walker says. “It’s all about greed and stealing from the taxpayer. We aggressively pursue these criminals just like we pursue drug dealers and other crooks.”

NATIONAL NEWS US meat producers need big grain crop to lower feed costs and boost profits

■ WASHINGTON – The pounds of meat

produced in the United States will drop in 2013 for the second time in five years. That includes beef, pork, chicken and turkey, according to Scott Brown, University of Missouri economist. Livestock farmers struggle to fill growing world meat demand, not because of low prices but because of high costs, he told Congress recently. The annual University of Missouri economic baseline projects production and prices for the coming decade. “When we look at 2013, the big issue for livestock and dairy farmers is feed

costs. If we get a decent crop in the bin this fall, 2013 and beyond looks much better,” Brown says. Crops have produced belowtrend-line yields for three years, with 2012 bringing the lowest yields. “Having the worst drought in decades mattered a lot,” he says.

“Many livestock farmers remain in business, hoping feed costs subside, bringing a better financial situation.” Size of U.S. beef herds dropped in the face of less forage and feed.

On the hog side, sow inventory remained stable despite sharp increases in feed costs.

Weather remains a big unknown in price projections. For their analysis, University of Missouri economists assume normal weather

ahead. Brown doesn’t expect inflationary food prices. “Beef prices were up 49 percent in 2012, compared to 2000-2006. The challenge will be to maintain prices.” U.S. consumers have changed eating habits, reducing meat consumption by 20 pounds per person. Mainly, that drop comes from lower availability. If feed prices decline, meat supplies should grow. At the same time, growing international demand takes more meat, particularly high-quality beef, out of this country. That export demand, especially from the Asia Pacific region, grows with rising middle-class earnings. Increasingly, U.S. dairy products compete in the world market,

Brown says. Now, the U.S. exports half of its nonfat dry milk. “Dairy farmers are garnering a larger share of the international trade.” As domestic fluid milk consumption declines, that export trade becomes essential. Dairy producers faced high feed costs in times of low and volatile milk prices. While milk prices recovered in late 2012, farm receipts remained below cost of production for many producers. “Like livestock producers, dairy producers need a larger projected crop in 2013 to lower future feed costs and improve net returns.” In 2012, feed costs approached $64 billion, more than double 2006.

A sure sign of spring

By Jonathan Knutson

Twin calves arrive on Johnson farm; calving under way in earnest in region

Ailing horses, llamas seized from farm

■ VERGAS, Minn. – Inhumane conditions

■

Agweek Staff Writer

Chris Johnson is accustomed to seeing double at this time of year.

His family’s beef cattle operation near Sharon, N.D., is dealing with another spate of twin calves this spring. Of the first roughly 100 cows that gave birth this spring, 19 had twins, giving the Johnsons a 20 percent rate of twins.

Normally, about 3 percent of beef cows give birth to twins, but the Johnsons have had a far-above-normal rate of twin births for years.

“It’s probably hereditary,” he says.

The torrent of twin calves on the Johnson farm is a sure sign that spring calving is under way in earnest across the Upper Midwest.

At one time, many cattle producers in the region began calving in late February, in part because it allows them to finish in time to start planting their fields.

Today, some cattle producers who also farm continue to start calving in February so they’re done in time to begin working their fields, says Adele Harty, cow-calf field specialist in the Rapid City field office of the South Dakota State University Extension Service.

But many ranchers have pushed back

the start of calving until mid-February.

Doing so allows them to better match cows’ nutritional needs and to take advantage of what’s usually better weather, she says.

Calving generally is going well so far, Harty says.

One concern is hay’s overall quality and quantity, both of which were affected by the drought, she and others say.

Though it doesn’t relate to calving, producers in western South Dakota remain concerned about moisture, she says.

Most of the area around Rapid City is in D-4 drought, she says.

D-4, or exceptionally dry, is the most severe of the four drought categories measured by the U.S. Drought Monitor, a partnership of federal and academic scientists.

Calves and twins

Johnson says there’s a great deal of snow on his family’s ranch in northeast North Dakota, but calving is going well.

The Johnsons have about 500 cows.

His family began calving in February

and hopes to be finished by May. “It’s always busy, always exciting,” he says. Recently, 14 calves were born on a single night.

Twin calves are more curse than blessing because they typically require more care and attention than single calves, he says.

For instance, a cow with twin calves often is unable to provide enough milk for both, so one or both must receive additional milk from a bottle.

The extra time, effort and expense associated with a twin, on average, more than offsets the value of the second calf, Johnson says.

“I’d rather have one healthy calf than twins,” he says.

Last year, 34.3 million calves were born in the U.S., according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Of those calves, South Dakota accounted for 1.7 million, Montana 1.5 million, North Dakota 870,000 and Minnesota 790,000.

Texas led the nation with 3.9 million calves born in 2012.

resulted in law enforcement seizing 11 horses and three llamas recently from a farm six miles southeast of Vergas, Minn. An additional six horses were found dead. One of the rescued llamas, a baby, later died at the rescue ranch from complications of septicemia, probably from a lack of colostrum, which is found in a healthy mother’s breast milk. Criminal charges were pending against the owners of the farm, Bill and Penny Fick.

The rescued animals were taken to High Tail Horse Ranch and Rescue near Hawley, Minn., to recover. There were six quarter horses, a draft horse, a pony, an Arabian and two paints. High Tail owner Charlotte Tuhy says the animals were in “various stages of hunger and underweight. Some of them are in quite a bit of pain.” She and volunteers from the ranch worked on the rescue with the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Department and the Minnesota Humane Society.

Briefly . . .

■ Raw milk: South Dakota’s Agriculture De-

partment is drafting new rules for the testing of raw milk. The revised regulations will govern the testing of unpasteurized milk that farmers sell directly to consumers. Department policy director Courtney De La Rosa says the goal is to make the rules easier to understand and more consistent. Advocates of unpasteurized milk met with state officials recently. Those advocates included the owners of a Belle Fourche area dairy that was shut down for five days last October after its milk tested positive for bacteria. Rule changes will require legislative approval.

The Dakota Precision Ag Center at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake is focused on bringing new technologies to farms. But to do that, it must also educate and train the future operators and handlers of that technology.

“That’s the hallmark of what we do,” says Paul Gunderson, the center’s director.

This fall, the ag center will introduce a new class, Precision Ag Technician Training. Gunderson says the course has piqued interest from students across the Northern High Plains and into Wisconsin and Iowa.

“There’s a tremendous amount of interest,” he says. “We hope it’s going to be a successful, good program.”

The center also offers a specialized training course for workers impacted by foreign trade. Gunderson cites the relocation of Bobcat production facilities to South Korea, and Fargo’s wind turbine facility closure.

Programs also assist returning war veterans, expanding their post-deployment career opportunities into the ag industry.

“Our role is to train them, bring them to the point where they would be able to repair precision ag equipment and technology, those kinds of things,” Gunderson says.

Courses also include backstop training for employees of implement dealerships and co-ops who might not have the background necessary to excel in their fields.

The program will offer a range of activities, beginning this spring with computer training.

Research projects

Besides education and training, the Precision Ag Center also conducts re-

search into specific technologies, with the help of student interns.

It is one of only two remaining community school facilities developed under former Gov. John Hoeven’s Centers of Excellence program, Gunderson says. Because of an increase in federal and state funding, the center has brought new faculty members on board to help with research and training.

“We’ve been very successful there,” Gunderson says, adding that the center has about $3.1 million available now and has more money pending on both the state and federal levels. The center also has private sector partners that assist both financially and in in-kind contributions.

Gunderson says the goal is to connect ag research, focusing on new technologies and improvements, including product testing for private companies.

The center has answer farms, contracted with farmers, throughout North Dakota where products and practices are tested across growing seasons to assess functionality and whether they would make a difference to a farm’s bottom line.

“We’ll go where we need to in order to secure the right kind of setting,” Gunderson says of the answer farms.

Gunderson and his researchers and students are developing a new slurry manure injection tool and will conduct tests this summer, he says. The new initiative will combine site-specific data and controllers to the injection toolbar so manure is injected precisely into soil zones that have the most potential for production, according to the center. This minimizes manure applications where soil is unfit for normal production or in sensitive areas such as buffers, watersheds, ditches, or drainage areas.

The researchers also will analyze soil biomes when the manure slurry is injected. Gunderson says the purpose is to determine if and how the soil biome is affected when the “alien” material is introduced. Colorado State University is assisting with the project.

With more funding will come even more courses and research projects, resulting in better and sharpened technologies and practices for the ag industry nationwide. And, most likely, even globally.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Wheat exports lower, corn, soybean stocks unchanged

WASHINGTON — U.S. wheat exports for 2012 to ‘13 are projected 25 million bushels lower for March, boosting projected ending stocks by the same amount.

Continued strong competition further reduces prospects for U.S. wheat shipments.

Projected exports for hard red winter wheat are lowered 25 million bushels.

Exports are lowered 10 million bushels and 5 million bushels, respectively, for white and hard red spring wheat, but raised 15 million bushels for soft red winter wheat.

All wheat imports are unchanged, but small adjustments are made among the classes. Trade changes largely reflect the

pace of sales and shipments to date. The projected range for the season average farm price for wheat is lowered 10 cents at the midpoint and narrowed to $7.65 to $7.95 per bushel.

Global wheat supplies for 2012 and ’13 are raised 1.8 million tons with higher production.

Projected 2012 and ’13 U.S. corn ending stocks are unchanged for March, as an increase in imports and lower exports support higher expected feed and residual disappearance. Corn imports are raised 25 million bushels, reflecting the strong pace of shipments reported through January. Corn exports are lowered 75 million bushels based on slow sales and ship-

ments and stronger expected competition from South American corn and from competitively priced feed wheat.

Sorghum exports are projected 10 million bushels higher based on the strong pace of sales and shipments. Smaller trade changes are projected for barley and oats based on shipments to date.

The projected season-average farm prices for corn and sorghum are each lowered 20 cents on the high end of the range to $6.75 to $7.45 per bushel and $6.70 to $7.40 per bushel, respectively.

U.S. soybean supply and use projections for 2012 and ’13 are unchanged for March, leaving ending stocks at 125 million bushels. Although soybean export

commitments through February exceeded last year’s pace, U.S. exports are expected to decline as increased competition from a record South American soybean crop limits U.S. sales during the second half of the marketing year.

Soybean crush is ahead of last year’s pace, but is projected to slow in the second half of the marketing year on declining soybean meal exports as competition from South America, increases with the new crop harvest.

The projected season-average price range for soybeans is narrowed 25 cents on both ends of the range to $13.80 to $14.80 per bushel. Soybean oil prices are forecast at 48.5 to 51.5 cents per pound, – USDA down 1 cent.

Meat inspector furloughs coming in July Each inspector will be furloughed for 11 days

■

By Jerry Hagstrom

Special to Agweek

WASHINGTON — Federal meat inspectors will be furloughed in July on the same day in every part of the country, and each inspector will be furloughed for a total of 11 days before Sept. 20 to fulfill the requirements of a law mandating a cut in government spending, Agriculture Undersecretary for Food Safety Elisabeth Hagen told the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee on March 13.

The sequester law requires a 5 percent cut in federal spending in all domestic departments through Sept. 30.

Hagen said the Food Safety and Inspection Service had decided to furlough all employees at once because that would be fairest to the industry. If the agency staggered the furloughs and a solution is found after the furloughs had started, she noted, the meat, poultry and egg products industries in one part of the country would undergo an economic burden, while the others would not.

The total amount of the FSIS budget cut is likely to be $54.8 million, or 5 percent of the agency’s annual budget, Hagen said. But the figure is not certain because Congress has not yet passed the continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year ending Sept. 30.

Hagen said all 9,212 FSIS employees will be fur-

loughed, including the 8,136 inspectors and other personnel such as lab technicians that the agency considers frontline employees.

She explained that 88 percent of the FSIS budget goes to salaries and benefits, and that there is no way the agency can avoid the furloughs and comply with the sequester law.

USDA officials have also noted that plans are for one furlough day per week and no more than two furlough days per pay period, but the furloughs would be subject to negotiations with the labor unions for the employees.

‘Sky-is-falling mantra’

Republican members of the subcommittee, including the new chairman, Robert Aderholt of Alabama, repeatedly expressed frustration that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack had not found some way to avoid furloughing the inspectors.

“I do not agree with the position that the secretary has staked out on this issue while traveling around the country with his sky-is-falling mantra,” Aderholt said in opening remarks.

“FSIS’s budget has increased by nearly $75 million since 2008, to $1.004 billion,” he said. “While I realize that this is a salary-intensive agency, I hope that there is a reasonable and responsible way to meet the challenges of sequestration while minimizing the impact on frontline inspectors and industry alike.”

But Hagen was firm that USDA lawyers have examined the meat inspection and sequester statutes and found no alternative to the furloughs planned.

Reminded that FSIS has kept the inspectors on the job during government shutdowns, Hagen noted that the

sequester is different because Congress does not plan to provide the agency the money that has been sequestered for this year, and is planning on maintaining the cuts in future years.

USDA employees, she noted, are prohibited “from spending money we don’t have. This is different from a shutdown.

“We are looking at an enormous economic disruption,” Hagen acknowledged, but said there is no danger to food safety because meat that has not been inspected cannot be sold.

She also said it would not be practical to shift inspectors from one plant to another because that would involve travel expenses and could also endanger food safety because inspectors would be assigned to tasks they are not used to performing.

USDA does not have the flexibility to move money among accounts to keep the meat inspectors on the job.

But eight Republican senators including Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., proposed giving USDA flexibility to move money around to avoid the furloughs. The House-passed continuing resolution does not contain any flexibility for the meat inspectors and some House Republicans have said they don’t want to give the Obama administration flexibility in spending, but Aderholt said he would “take a look” at the amendment.

Aderholt noted that Vilsack had not asked for the flexibility and also said that he does not share the concerns of some Republicans about giving the Obama administration the flexibility to shift money around.

“This is a CR [continuing resolution],” Aderholt said.

“The department understands and we understand it would be appropriate to give them that flexibility.”

There has been a fair amount of talk about canola acres dropping by 3 to 7 percent. But if canola acres drop by 5 percent and the five-year average yield of 32 bushels per acre materializes, Canadian canola production will be a record 14.7 million metric tons, compared with 13.3 million in 2012 and 14.6 million in 2011.

New crop canola prices have been pulled higher because of the tight fundamental structure for 2012 and 2013. The market has been rationing demand and the domestic crush pace is slowing, while exports are sharply lagging last year. Earlier, we were anticipating a 2012 and 2013 carryout of less than 900,000 metric

that the low-grade 2010 product that has been hanging over the market has finally been cleaned up in feed rations. Supplies are more or less back to normal. In the current market, that still means ample supplies, since the 2012 crop was almost 1.5 million metric tons. There is no shortage of lentils.

With the weak prices that have been available Wild Oats has been a reluctant seller. But time is marching on. It’s March, but most important, processors are starting to report that color in greens is fading. New deliveries of lentils bought as a No. 1 in the fall are grading No. 2. That’s not going to get better.

Oats supplies dropping

INNIPEG, Manitoba — Oats have had a nice run and are paying off for growers. Emerson Milling in Manitoba is paying $4.10 per bushel for April delivery while Grain Millers in Yorkton is at $3.95. Both prices are at or near all-time highs.

Oat supplies have been dropping. The prairie crop, one of the bigger oat crops in the world, went from 3.2 million metric tons in 2011 to 2.7 million last year. Supplies are dropping, as well.

That said, there are still quite a few oats in the country. AgCanada says carryout stocks will be 400,000 metric tons as of July 31. World oat production in 2012 dropped by 1.7 million metric tons to 21.3 million metric tons.

Production this year will be interesting. It’s already looking like a late spring, which usually means more oats plantings. AgCanada suggests plantings may drop.

Trade surveys suggest higher plantings. FarmLink Marketing suggested higher plantings at Grainworld.

There’s a squeeze going on with nearby Chicago oats futures. March is $4.25. May is $3.94. The nearby futures strength is academic. It’s probably some fund without access to commercial supplies caught short.

No commercial buyer is basing price off March futures and open interest is only 23 contracts.

You may be thinking that oats prices have to continue to climb, but that is not necessarily the case. It looks like the U.S. is going to produce a massive corn crop this summer. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts corn will fall from the 2012 average price of $7.20 to $4.80 per bushel this fall. A decline of that magnitude may well start even before seeding, if conditions look OK, and lower corn prices could drag all crops down.

tons, but it looks like this could increase to 1.2 million metric tons, given the slower demand.

The new crop fundamental structure is not getting more bullish, but becoming bearish from current levels.

Canola is heavily influenced by soybeans. The South American harvest is progressing and we forecast record soybean acres in the U.S. this spring. We expect downward pressure for new crop beans and canola moving into the fall period. The drought in the U.S. is over, as the weather pattern has changed.

Barley and feed wheat

Barley prices in southern Alberta continue to fluctuate in the range of $280 to $285 delivered in Lethbridge, while feed wheat trades around $295. Given the tighter supplies of barley and feed wheat, the market is functioning to encourage the use of alternate feedgrains, which includes milling wheat and imported dried distillers’ grain with solutions (DDGS). We are seeing more widespread use of low protein milling wheat and imported DDGS in the feedlot rations.

Cattle on feed numbers in Alberta and Saskatchewan have been running 7 percent below year ago through winter resulting in lower domestic feedgrain demand. Feedlot inventories tend to peak in April and then decline into the summer. This is a period of seasonal strong demand. Export values have come under pressure with the latest trade at $320 (U.S.) cost and freight to Tunisia. The Canadian domestic market is trading at a sharp premium to world values, limiting export movement. Later in March, USDA will release its seeding intentions. The industry is anticipating record corn acres. This will cause the North American wheat and corn markets to come under pressure. The ethanol grind has increased, resulting in more DDGS trading into southern Alberta. The South American corn harvest will begin later in March resulting in weaker world feedgrain values.

MARKETS

Wheat sparked by fresh demand Wheat: market leader from renewed demand The wheat markets had gains of up to 24 cents last week. The Chicago market was the leader of the grain markets with fresh demand news. The Minneapolis market struggled to follow along with much smaller gains, as spring wheat is not competing with corn in feed and ethanol rations.

The wheat markets quietly followed the corn market March 11 to post single-digit gains. A look at the wheat markets will show that the commercial outlook has become less bearish, where the May to July spread is now inverted. The Chicago wheat market continued to find support from gains in the corn market on March 12. While commercial selling pressured the row crop markets on March 13, the wheat markets attracted buying interest from the recent attention that wheat has received as a replacement for corn in some feed and ethanol uses. May Chicago wheat finished on par with May corn, but there is 7 percent more weight in a bushel of wheat.

The wheat markets found strong buying interest March 14 following the weekly export sales report.

Exports came in above expectations, and with wheat moving into feed and ethanol rations, the wheat markets finally have some bullish demand news to trade on. The Minneapolis market had smaller gains. The Northern Plains are expected to receive more cold and wet weather in the next two weeks. While this will be welcome moisture, it will reduce the chances for early planting.

Light losses returned to the market on March 15 with a lack of fresh news and weakness in the corn market. The lower dollar index was supportive, but that market has built so much strength in the past couple of weeks that its value is still substantially higher than it has been in some time. The recent uptick in wheat demand has happened despite the strength in the dollar.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s export inspections for wheat for the week ending March 8 was estimated at 27.9 million bushels, with the year-todate pace at 721.2 million bushels, compared with 775.4 million for last year at this time. With 12 weeks left in the marketing year, shipments need to average 25.6 million bushels to make the revised USDA expectations of 1.025 billion. USDA reported export sales of 32.6 million bushels, above the 12.9 million needed to keep pace with projections. Shipments of 28.9 million bushels were also above the 28 million needed.

Corn: early planting not likely in 2013 The corn market was up 13 cents in the May contract last week, as of noon on March 15. Support comes from tight stocks and delayed planting in the eastern U.S. The upside is limited with larger production estimates for the 2013 crop.

Corn futures inched higher last week with followthrough fund buying from the March 8 USDA report.

Estimated ending stocks for corn remained unchanged at a 17-year low. The market also found

support from wet and cool weather in the eastern Corn Belt and dry conditions west of the Mississippi, which could delay planting in the east and hurt production in the west. The temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees lower than normal throughout the country and are forecast to remain that way for the next two weeks. The weather has created talk that some corn acres may get switched to soybeans because of late planting.

The only day that corn had a setback was March 13, with losses of 4 cents. The futures traded lower with nearby spread action and possible export sales cancellations. If the rumored cancellations are true, they would reinforce current demand concerns.

Profit taking and commercial selling also contributed to the lower trade. March 15 trade was mixed, with no change to corn prices at midday.

Ethanol production for the week ending March 8 averaged 797,000 barrels per day, which is down 1 percent from the previous week and down 10.7 percent from last year. Corn used in production for the week ending March 8 is estimated at 83.7 million bushels and needs to average 87.9 million bushels per week to meet this crop year’s USDA estimate.

Stocks as of March 8 were 18.7 million barrels, down 3.4 percent from the previous week and down 15.2 percent from last year.

USDA’s export inspections report was bearish for corn. There were 14.4 million bushels shipped. Shipments needed each week to hit the USDA export estimate are 17.7 million bushels. The export sales report for corn was at 11.1 million bushels, above the 9.8 million needed to meet USDA’s projection of 825 million. Total shipments last week were at 16.1 million bushels, below the 17.4 million needed for the 2012 to ’13 marketing year.

Soybeans: lower on harvest pressure May soybeans were down 44 cents as of midday on March 15, while November 2013 soybeans were 10 cents lower. The South American harvest weighs on soybean futures, as Brazil’s harvest is near half complete.

May soybeans closed near the day’s high on March 11, as logistical problems in Brazil continue to shift demand back to the U.S. in the near-term. Commercial traders continue to support the market, while noncommercial traders show little buying interest.

The March 8 export inspections were on the low end of market estimates, but above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA’s projection.

May soybeans closed near the March 12 low, as commercial selling and light profit-taking brought

pressure into the market. The Brazilian harvest continues to move along, with one Brazilian consultant estimating the harvest at half complete. Argentina is battling dryness, but could see some light rainfall in the next two weeks.

May soybeans closed lower March 13, 14 and 15 under commercial selling pressure, as the South American harvest continues. The heavy selling may have been indicative of export cancellations, though no announcement has been made yet. Talks continue of swollen soybean stocks in Chinese ports, creating questions for short-term export business. The March 14 export sales were well above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA’s demand projection.

USDA reported soybean export inspections pace for the week ending March 8 at 17.1 million bushels.

This brings the year-to-date export shipments pace for soybeans to 1.164 billion bushels, compared with 934.8 million for last year at this time. Soybean export sales pace for the week ending March 8 was estimated at 24.2 million bushels, bringing this year’s total to 1.304 billion, compared with 1.12 billion last year at this time. Shipments were reported at 28.1 million bushels.

Barley USDA reported export inspections of 413,000 bushels of barley last week. Year-to-date export inspections for barley stand at 6.06 million bushels, compared with 6.02 million last year. USDA reported export sales of 415,000 bushels of barley to Japan, with all of those bushels shipped, as well. March 14 cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $5.25 per bushel, with malting barley bids at $6.50.

Durum USDA reported no export inspections for durum last week. USDA reported export cancellations of 500,000 bushels of durum last week, with year-to-date sales at 16.9 million bushels, up from 15.9 million at this time last year. Cash bids for milling quality durum on March 14 were at $7.75 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., and $7.85 in Dickinson, N.D.

Canola Canola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, exchange had losses of up to $6.50 (Canadian) per ton last week. The new crop November contract had the larger losses, with pressure coming from losses in new crop soybeans and projections for larger acreages in 2013. The old crop May contract held light losses of $2.50 (Canadian) per ton, as commercial support continues in the cash market for old crop canola. The market remains near the middle of its rangebound winter trade. Cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at $27.54 per hundredweight on March 14.

Sunflowers USDA reported export sales of 6 trillion metric tons of soybean oil, with shipments of 9.6 trillion metric tons. Total sales so far this year are at 795.4 trillion metric tons, up from 293.2 trillion last year.

Cash bids for NuSun sunflowers in Fargo, N.D., were at $22.35 per hundredweight on March 14.

2013 funding bill provides money for FSMA Senate bill likely to pass ■

By Jerry Hagstrom Special to Agweek

WASHINGTON — The Senate bill to fund the government through the remainder of fiscal year 2013 will provide money for the Food and Drug Administration to implement the controversial Food Safety Modernization Act that applies to the fruit and vegetable industry and other sectors regulated by FDA. The House-passed version of the appropriations bill did not include money to implement new food safety programs at FDA, but Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski, DMd., signaled in a March 11 speech on the Senate floor that cooperation with the House on the development of the Senate version of the bill has been so positive it seems likely the bill will go through with what the senators have added.

Congress is expected to pass the appropriations bill

by March 22 when both the House and Senate are scheduled to take a two-week break, but need to pass it by March 27 when the current congressional resolution funding the government expires.

“In (the agriculture committee), our amendment really makes sure that we help fund the Food Safety Modernization Act, which is not included in the House bill,” Mikulski said in her March 11 floor speech. Mikulski did not say how much money the bill provides for implementation.

“What this does is help fund the first major reform of food safety laws in 70 years. And it’s much-needed. The Centers for Disease Control tells us 48 million Americans suffer from food borne illness each year.

“This morning, before I came to the floor, I attended a hearing on the Select Committee on Intelligence,” Mikulski said.

“General James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, along with key people from the military, civilian agencies, and FBI director (Robert) Mueller, gave us a 30page report on threats to the United States. One of the things they talked about was the safety of our food supply.

We need to make sure we have inspectors on the ground for what might occur through bacteria or what might also be introduced. We need to understand that food safety is a big issue.”

FSMA, as the legislation was known, was passed in late 2010 at the urging of the fruit and vegetable industry, which hoped tougher regulations would restore confidence in produce. But the legislation has become controversial, particularly because there are exemptions for small growers. Large fruit and vegetable operations are worried that a contamination on a small farm could damage the larger industry, while small growers are worried that big growers will convince FDA to apply rules. Some groups representing small growers have called for a slowdown in the implementation, while others want it to go quickly out of fear that time will enable big growers to influence the agency.

NATIONAL NEWS Wis. egg-laying hens had productive year in 2012

■ MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin’s egg-laying hens had a good year last year, increasing their total output by 7 percent over 2011 figures. Recent figures show that Wisconsin produced about 1.4 billion eggs over the 12-month period ending Nov. 30. That’s up from about 1.3 billion during the previous 12 months. The increased productivity can be attributed to two factors – more

chickens and more eggs laid per hen. The average laying hen produced 277 eggs over the past year, two more than during the previous year. And the number of egg-laying hens increased 6.5 percent to just fewer than 5 million birds. Wisconsin remains ranked 18th in the nation in egg production. Iowa leads the nation by far, with about 14.5 billion eggs. Minnesota is 11th with 2.8 billion eggs.

Whole Foods Market, the grocery chain, on March 8 became the first retailer in the United States to require labeling of all genetically modified foods sold in its stores, a move that some experts say could radically alter the food industry.

A.C. Gallo, president of Whole Foods, says the new labeling requirement, to be in place within five years, came in response to consumer demand. “We’ve seen how our customers have responded to the products we do have labeled,” Gallo says. “Some of our manufacturers say they’ve seen a 15 percent increase in sales of products they have labeled.”

Genetically modified ingredients are deeply embedded in the global food supply, having proliferated since the 1990s. Most of the corn and soybeans grown in the U.S., for example, have been genetically modified. The alterations make soybeans resistant to an herbicide used in weed control and cause the corn to produce its own insecticide. Efforts are under way to produce a genetically altered apple that won’t spoil as quickly and genetically altered salmon that will grow faster.

The announcement by Whole Foods ricocheted around the food industry and excited proponents of labeling.

“Fantastic,” says Mark Kastel, co-director of the Cornucopia Institute, an organic advocacy group that favors labeling.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association, the trade group that represents major food companies and retailers, issued a statement opposing the move.

“These labels could mislead consumers into believing that these food products are somehow different or present a special risk or a potential risk,” says Louis Finkel, the organization’s executive director of government affairs.

Finkel notes that the Food and Drug Administration, as well as regulatory and scientific bodies including the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association, had deemed genetically modified products safe.

Proponents of labeling insist that consumers have a right to know about the ingredients in the food they eat, and they contend that some studies in rats show that bioengineered food can be harmful.

Gary Hirshberg, chairman of Just Label It, a campaign for a federal requirement to label foods containing ge-

netically modified ingredients, called the Whole Foods decision a “game changer.”

“We’ve had some pretty big developments in labeling this year,” Hirshberg says, adding that 22 states now have some sort of pending labeling legislation. “Now, one of the fastest-growing, most successful retailers in the country is throwing down the gauntlet.”

He compares the potential impact of the Whole Foods announcement to WalMart’s decision several years ago to stop selling milk from cows treated with growth hormone. Today, only a small number of milk cows are injected with the hormone.

What it could mean

Karen Batra, a spokeswoman for BIO, a trade group representing the biotech industry, says it is too early to determine what impact, if any, the Whole Foods decision will have. “It looks like they want to expand their inventory of certified organic and non-GMO lines,” Batra says. “The industry has always supported the voluntary labeling of food for marketing reasons.”

She contends, however, that without scientific evidence showing that genetically modified foods caused health or safety issues, labeling was unnecessary.

Nonetheless, companies have shown a growing willingness to consider labeling. Some 20 major food companies, as well as Wal-Mart, met recently in Washington to discuss genetically modified labeling.

Buoyed by what they see as some momentum in the labeling war, consumers, organic farmers and food activists plan to hold an “eat-in” outside the FDA’s offices next month to protest government policies on genetically modified crops and foods. Whole Foods, which specializes in organic products, tends to be favored by those types of consumers, and it enjoys strong sales of its private-label products, whose composition it controls. The company thus risks less than some more traditional food retailers in taking a stance on labeling.

In 2009, Whole Foods began submitting products in its 365 Everyday Value private-label line to verification by the Non GMO Project.

Today, Whole Foods’ shelves carry some 3,300 private-label and branded products that are certified, the largest selection of any grocery chain in the country.

Gallo says Whole Foods did not consult with its suppliers about its decision and informed them of it only shortly before making its announcement March 8.

He says Whole Foods looks forward to working with suppliers on the labeling.

FARGO, N.D. — Will Red River Valley area sugar beet farmers change from the familiar pull-behind sugar beet harvesters to self-propelled machines?

Four manufacturers are hoping so, as they talked up their wares at the 51st International Sugarbeet Institute, March 13 and 14 in Fargo. The self-propelled machines — long used in Europe — are being promoted in the Americas for their labor saving and efficiency, compared to pull-behind models popular in the U.S. A few of the self-propelled machines have been tried in the valley and two are already owned by farmers in south-central Minnesota.

The only actual machines at the show this year were of the Ropa brand, made in Germany. Canadian beet farmer John Noorloos, and his partner Eugen Burgin of Wyoming, Ontario, are president and secretary, respectively, for the distributor — Ropa North America Inc. Noorloos says there were 48 of the Ropa harvesters in North America in 2012, mostly in the Michigan and Ontario area. This coming fall, he thinks about 30 to 35 percent of beets in Michigan may be handled by Ropa alone, and there a few self-propelled harvesters from other brands.

Noorloos and Bergin raise beets for Michigan Sugar Co., a cooperative based in Bay City, Mich. They bought a Ropa for their own operations in 2002.

Each grows 600 acres of beets of their own and harvests another 300 in custom work. Since buying the Ropa, they became the North American distributor and a regional dealer for their home area. There also is a Nebraska dealer and Ropa will add one in the Red River Valley when numbers warrant it.

Ropa’s yellow contraption is 57 feet from nose to tail with a 16-foot-wide header — bigger than any other kind of harvester seen here.

A Ropa has a 600-horsepower Mercedes diesel engine. Through a gearbox, it has 10 hydraulic pumps, which control hydraulic motors on the machine. The single machine defoliates, digs and hauls beets to the edge of a field with a 25-ton on-board bunker.

“The real benefit is that one man operates basically what three tractors do,” Noorloos says. “Instead of three operators, you have one operator in the field. It offers efficiencies for man, fuel and tractor.”

When an investment is spread over 1,000 acres, it becomes cheaper than the conventional system, Noorloos contends. An eight-row, 22-inch-wide row model lists at about $710,000 and the nine-row 20-inch model runs about $715,000. The machines will likely be most popular in these narrower row spacings because of a perceived yield advantage, Noorloos says.

What about mud?

Noorloos says his company demonstrated the machines in August 2012 on

! Farmers at the International Sugarbeet Institute in Fargo, N.D., on March 13 swarm a display of a Ropa brand, self-propelled sugar beet harvester. More farmers are considering the concept because of advertised cost and labor advantages.

A changing market

Also at the show was Jake Maurer of Ruth, Mich., president of Holmer Americas Inc., a division of a German parent of the same name. Holman started making beet harvesters in the 1960s and is in its third year selling self-propelled models in North America. The company had a total of seven machines running in the U.S. and Canada in 2012 and expects to have a dozen in 2013, Maurer says.

“I think the longer these machines have been in the U.S., the more people are intrigued and interested,” Mauer says. “The market is changing a little. I think they see labor savings because you can cart, top and harvest with one maMikkel Pates, Agweek chine. You have a good-sized hopper that can take 22 to 23 tons anyhow.”

Holmer offers a range of header options but the most popular size is the eightrow models with 20-inch row spacing, running more than $625,000.

Mauer says off-loading and windrowing the beets on the field edge for later hauling effectively decouples the harvest and trucking operations. His company’s cleaner-loader sells for $550,000 to $575,000.

Another company at the show for the first time was Agrifac Exxact, a Netherlands manufacturer, owned by the Excel Group of France. Lars Stadman, sales manager for the company, says Agrifac and its predecessors have been around since just after WWII and have been producing selfpropelled beet harvesting equipment for decades. It sold 12-row models from 2002 to 2006, but then sold fewer than 30 because the market was “not ready.” It is now, Stadman says.

Manufacturers say beet harvesters save labor

farms in Minto, N.D., Breckenridge, Minn., and in southern Minnesota at Bird Island and Hector, where two of the machines were sold. None have been sold in the Red River Valley, but one farmer looking at the machines says they’ll likely be more attractive in areas farther from population centers, where qualified farm labor is more difficult to find. One exhibitor selling tile field drainage says they’d probably work best on drain fields.

Ropa is trying to show that the machines will do well in the heavy, Red River Valley clays.

“It was an extremely dry fall and we did not get to test it during the wet conditions until we got the 2 inches of rain up north,” Noorloos says, of last year’s demonstrations. “We brought it up there and ran it through the mud, and — yup — the mud will go through the rollers and cleaning mechanisms at the back, and we can deliver clean beets.

With the three-axle drive, it’ll go through a pile of mud. I think the fact that you can dig the beets out of the ground before the tractor tires ever get there is a big advantage.”

Noorloos sells a separate cart that can follow the harvester for continuous harvesting when the machine is full at mid-field. “With the cart we don’t need a truck in the field,” Noorloos says.

The company also manufactures a third machine — a $600,000 self-propelled cleaning mechanism called a

Natural-air drying is most energy efficient ■

By Rita Brhel

Yankton (S.D.) Daily Press & Dakotan

With rising inputs, volatile markets, and now what appears to be a multiyear drought forming, farmers will be doing all they can to improve yields, save costs and widen their profit margins.

One area to look into is post-harvest grain drying.

The best grain drying happens in the field, and pending a cool, damp summer, most years’ growing seasons are able to suck out much of the moisture from the grain by middle to late October, says Kenneth Hellevang, agricultural engineering professor and extension engineer for North Dakota State University in Fargo. Yet, there’s often a little grain drying left even on the most ideal years to ensure that bugs and disease don’t ruin the yield in the bin.

“We’re seeing a lot of interest in natural-air drying over the last several years,” Hellevang says. The main difference between natural-air drying and the traditional set-up is the lack of supplemental heat, which uses more energy and therefore costs more.

“Natural-air drying, if properly designed and managed, is the most energy-efficient drying,” Hellevang says.

“Adding heat increases drying and shrink cost.”

In fact, over-drying can put a dent of more than $4,000 in a farmer’s profits each season, he adds. Over-drying occurs in less efficient or poorly managed systems.

“Typically, the low-speed centrifugal fan moves the most air flow per horsepower through corn, so is the most efficient,” Hellevang says.

Natural-air drying is efficient in the spring, as soon as the average overnight temperature rises above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, Hellevang says. However, natural-air drying is not efficient or even effective on very wet grain or at outside temperatures typical of November through March. That’s why producers need to be skilled in managing supplemental heat dryers.

“The energy to remove a pound of water is less at higher temperatures and lower air flow rates,” Hellevang says. “Use the maximum temperature that will not damage the grain.”

The next most efficient system is low-

temperature drying, in which the air temperature is increased only incrementally as much as is needed to reduce grain moisture. Hellevang recommends increasing air temperature only 5 degrees Fahrenheit at a time, and then to use a controller to keep the bin at the minimum effective temperature. However, he warns, as with natural-air drying, low-temperature drying only works well until outdoor temperatures approach freezing.

Grain drying in winter requires more heat. The maximum drying rate can be obtained with a shallower bin depth, and temperatures can go up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, but stirring is a must to protect grain against overdrying.

Check for heat spots Tom Dorn, Lancaster County Extension educator with the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, says the best way producers can detect overheating is by using a probe to check for heat spots with a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees Fahrenheit from the average bin temperature. Growers without a probe can look for condensation forming on the outside surface of the bin roof on a cold day or a musty odor inside the bin. The best solution to overheating is stirring, but the aeration fans also suffice. Or, Dorn says, it’s better to market the grain early than to over-dry it. For grain that is above 15 percent moisture, the best management practice is to reduce the heat and continue to dry it.

“Half of the equation in preventing spoilage in stored grain is getting the grain cool and keeping it cool,” Dorn says. “If you can’t get it as dry as you’d like, at least keep it cool.”

When using the higher temperatures, cooling may be needed in a different bin.

“In-storage cooling requires rapid cooling and cooler initial grain temperature to limit condensation,” Hellevang says. “Slow cooling saves more energy, but storage problems typically occur near the bin wall.”

There are limitations, though. It’s important to let the grain dry as much as possible naturally in the field, because there really is no cost savings in trying to dry out very wet grain in the bin.

“Dry when it is warmer if possible, since it takes more energy to dry at colder temperatures,” Hellevang says.

Forage more valuable today

Meeting basic needs of stock is a major cost ■

North Dakota State University Extension Service

Winter feeding and care always have been a critical aspect of cattle production in the Northern Plains.

Meeting the most basic needs of the stock — adequate feed for efficient production and well-being — represents the major cost to and activity of producers.

“That makes hay and forage, the basic feed for cattle, more valuable today, whether it is standing in the pasture, rolled into a bale or packed into a bunker,” says John Dhuyvetter, area livestock specialist at North Dakota State University’s North Central Research Extension Center near Minot.

“As such, it may deserve greater attention in valuing its costs and maximizing its use and value.”

Historically, hay and forage have been abundant and inexpensive, but that’s not the case now. The opportunity to harvest low-quality, low-cost hay on Conservation Reserve Program land is disappearing fast, and producers do not want to raise a forage crop on high-rent land capable of producing a high-profit grain crop.

“This scenario is creating some new forage realities,” Dhuyvetter says. “Differing situations are bringing forth unique challenges that are being addressed in a variety of ways, often with some trade-offs.”

Enhance yields

With hay at $100 per ton, producers need to enhance yields through management, reduce losses and minimize needs, he adds. Here are ways he suggests producers could accomplish that: ■ Renovate old hay stands that no longer are productive. Including a legume such as alfalfa in grass-dominated fields can boost nitrogen levels without the cost of applying a commercial fertilizer.

■ Plant newer forage species and varieties because they likely are more productive.

■ Plan for more timely cuttings to maximize feed nutrients.

■ Keep harvesting equipment wellmaintained to minimize losses.

■ Ensile forage where available acreage is limited and you need a high quantity of feed or high-quality forage is beneficial. The cost per nutrient can be favorable despite silage production

costs when yield is high.

■ Select hybrids that do well in your area, plant early, and provide good weed control and fertility to increase yield potential.

■ Harvest at the optimum moisture, pack the forage correctly and cover it to help reduce potentially high storage losses.

■ Maximize the use of low-cost roughage by providing supplementation, particularly in corn-growing regions.

■ Graze stover left behind when corn is harvested to reduce the need for hay and to extend grazing, further reducing feeding costs. New procedures are being developed to harvest, grind and treat residues to enhance their digestibility as a feed.

■ Grow a second crop (for example, a mixture of oats, radishes and turnips) after the early harvest of peas or barley in areas where fall moisture can be anticipated to germinate a second crop to provide additional fall grazing.

■ Consider planting a high-yielding annual forage such as oats, millet or hybrid sorghum-sudan when cash crops fail (hail, disease, poor emergence, etc.). With attention to fertility and weed control, these forage crops have the potential to yield more than 2 tons per acre of a high-quality forage. If fencing and water are available, these crops can be grazed or windrowed and left for late grazing rather than cut, cured and baled.

■ Use bale feeders to reduce hay waste when feeding more than a day’s feed to smaller groups of cattle. The design, durability and price affect the effectiveness and cost of using bale feeders. Consider hay-saving designs that allow for more room per bale, and have slanted bars, greater height and a means of suspending the bale off the ground.

■ Bale graze larger groups with a multiple-day supply of bales in the field to reduce feeding commitments and leave the manure dispersed in the fields. But this option must be managed carefully to minimize waste and maintain cow condition. Include some lowquality forage as cereal straw in combination with some moderate- and higher-quality bales for no more than three to five days. A good estimation of cow weight and bale weights is helpful when bale grazing.

Dhuyvetter also recommends providing adequate protein in the ration to supply microorganisms with nitrogen, which is critical to the efficient breakdown of fiber and forage utilization.

Forage analyses can help determine if and what may be needed, and how best to deliver it.

By Kris Ringwall DICKINSON, N.D. — What would you say if someone told you that 40 percent of the cow-calf producers are struggling to justify being in the beef business?

After all, the cattle business is a great business and currently humming along through great times.

If that is true, why is the industry not expanding? Good question and certainly a relevant one.

We can speculate on the many reasons why the cattle numbers are what they are. In anticipation of this spring’s summaries of agricultural enterprises provided by the North Dakota Farm Management program, I have been reviewing previous numbers.

Why cattle?

With the increasing competition for land and competing crops, the big question is: Why run cattle? Returns from crop enterprises are good, and many will say they enjoy the more structured time crop operations offer, especially the time off that is not always available for those who engage in livestock operations.

If one reviews net returns per cow, and without going too far back in time, cattle producers certainly have had positive net returns. From 2006 through 2011, cattle producers who were enrolled in the NDFM program generally have had positive net returns over direct and overhead expenses.

The actual net return values were $182 in 2011, $111 in 2010, minus $13 in 2009, $12 in 2008, $98 in 2007 and $105 in 2006. It will be interesting to see where these numbers are for 2012, but one would speculate that the industry had positive net returns over direct and overhead expenses.

Are these numbers high enough to keep producers in business? Yes, but let’s look at those producers who were at the lower end of net returns, which are those producers who were in the lower 40 percent bracket.

This group was in the black in 2011 and 2006, but lost money in 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007. The actual net returns over direct and overhead expenses were a positive $76 per cow in 2011, minus $3 in 2010, minus $120 in 2009, minus $91 in 2008, minus $6 in 2007 and a positive $18 in 2006.

The long and short of it is that this

group of cattle producers has had to find some other enterprise to pay for an average of $21 per year, per cow for direct and overhead expenses because the cow could not pay her costs. That may not Ringwall seem like much, but also what was lost was the opportunity to do something that may have made more money on the same land.

Why do producers who have negative returns through six years remain in the cow business? Speculation is just speculation. The bottom line for the bottom 40 percent of this sample of producers is that the cows are not paying their way.

Why expand or even stay in the cow business? For the cattle operations that are in the lower 40 percent for net returns per cow, the average gross margin from 2011 back to 2006 was $500. Total direct and overhead expenses averaged $521 for the same period for an average loss of $21 per cow.

Signals to watch As noted earlier, times are good in the cattle business. But some serious flags are waving. High income and low expenses are good partners, but high expenses do not partner well with anything. Any lowering of revenue for highcost operations will take out the option of staying in the cattle business.

Cattle expansion is not a given. Unfortunately, there is a very serious play for land that can be used for more profitable agricultural enterprises. There is little incentive for those operators who are struggling to stay afloat to keep the cow operation.

Let me repeat myself. In the current world, the competition from the energyand food-producing sectors of agriculture is real. This competition will drive costs up and, given Mother Nature’s hesitation to provide moisture, the competition gets tougher. Cost control is the driver for sustaining beef operations and is achieved by the continual evaluation of the planning process.

For now, the point remains: What would you say if someone told you 40 percent of the cow-calf producers are struggling to justify being in the beef business? The cost of production is a simple fact, so plan well as the 2013 year engages.

Sheep susceptible to polio Disease characterized by death of brain cells

% OFF

QUALITY BEERS CAN ONLY BE

■

North Dakota State University Extension Service

FARGO, N.D. — Polio is a disease that can become a problem in some sheep flocks, warns North Dakota State University Extension Service sheep specialist Reid Redden.

It is characterized by the death of brain cells and is different from human polio, according to Neil Dyer, director of NDSU’s Veterinary Diagnostic Lab. Rising feed costs have many livestock producers, including shepherds, looking for less-expensive alternatives to traditional feedstuffs. However, some of these changes may result in animal health problems such as polio if diets are not balanced adequately for vitamins and minerals.

The primary cause of polio in sheep is thiamine deficiency, or a disturbance in how the body uses thiamine. Thiamine (vitamin B1) is produced naturally in the rumen of sheep on a normal diet.

Feeding high-grain diets to ruminants can predispose them to polio because it slows thiamine production in the rumen and increases mechanisms that degrade thiamine produced in the rumen. Therefore, supplemental thiamine should be added to all high-grain sheep diets to prevent polio, Redden says.

Sheep suspected of having polio from a thiamine deficiency recover quickly after a few treatments with vitamin Bcomplex.

Another cause of polio in sheep is elevated levels of sulfur (greater than 0.43 percent dry-matter basis) in the diet or sulfates (greater than 3,000 parts per million) in the drinking water. A high level of sulfur leads to the production of hydrogen sulfide in the rumen. Hydrogen sulfide makes its way into the blood stream and eventually causes brain damage.

Some alternative feeds, especially distillers byproducts, can contain high levels of sulfur. Drought conditions can reduce the water quality of ponds and reservoirs livestock use as their primary water source. The best method of preventing polio from excess sulfur is to test feed and water sources, Redden says.

Plants such as bracken fern and horse tail also contain enzymes that can cause polio. Additionally, amprolium, a drug used to treat coccidiosis, can cause polio if given at high enough doses. However, these causes of polio are much less common.

SD might see new grain-loading facility Speculation surrounds Dakota Mill & Grain land purchase ■

By Anna Jauhola

Forum News Service

KIMBALL, S.D. — Rapid City-based Dakota Mill & Grain Inc. plans to purchase 142 acres from the town of Kimball, S.D., causing some to speculate that the company will construct a large grain-loading facility.

It would be the second such facility built near Kimball, a town of 703 residents 20 miles east of the Missouri River on Interstate 90. Liberty Grain was constructed by other entrepreneurs east of Kimball last year at a cost of more than $30 million.

In April 2011, Kimball’s city council passed a resolution authorizing the potential sale of its grass-strip airport for $852,000 to Dakota Mill & Grain. The company, at the time, was pursuing the construction of a $25 million railroad grain-loading facility.

Maynard Konechne of Kimball, president of the Lake Francis Case Development Corp., says the purchase agreement between the town of Kimball and Dakota Mill & Grain states that the land will be used for a grain-shuttling facility.

The purchase will be facilitated by the development corporation, says Sue Steele, Kimball city attorney. She says a municipality can sell or lease land to a nonprofit local industrial corporation for industrial development.

“This transaction is structured as an option ... for the city of Kimball to sell the land or to provide an option for Lake Francis Case for industrial development purposes only,” Steele says.

“Then Lake Francis Case entered into an option with Dakota Mill & Grain.”

Dakota Mill & Grain had until this month to decide whether the company would purchase the land.

“We received a certified letter from Dakota Mill & Grain stating they plan to exercise their option to purchase the

airport property from the city,” says Wayne Tupper, mayor of Kimball.

The airport is technically within Kimball city limits, but is northwest of the town.

Dakota Mill & Grain received approval for a $2.4 million loan from the South Dakota State Railroad Board on March 28, 2012 for track construction.

The company plans to request a oneyear extension during the rail board’s March meeting, says Bruce Lindholm, the program officer for air, rail and transit at the South Dakota Department of Transportation.

Dakota Mill & Grain would need to construct a track to the nearby stateowned railroad, which was refurbished last year.

A popular area

Dakota Mill & Grain has reportedly purchased or plans to purchase 40 acres adjacent to the airport.

Both Tupper and Konechne say they assume the reason Kimball is such a popular area for the grain-shuttling facilities is due to the rehabilitation of the state-owned railroad line from Mitchell to Chamberlain.

About six miles east of Kimball, the Liberty Grain grain-shuttling facility opened for business in late 2012.

“Dakota Mill & Grain said they have no problem with another facility being that close,” Konechne says. “They didn’t have a problem with that.”

Other factors behind the construction of the grain facilities include high commodity prices and rising demand in developing parts of China, experts have said. Liberty Grain officials have said much of their grain will be transported by rail to the West Coast and exported from there.

The Dakota Mill & Grain land purchase causes at least two other issues for the town of Kimball — the loss of the airport and the potential of heavy truck traffic going through town.

Tupper says the city doesn’t currently have plans to replace its airport, but will discuss it in the future.

As for heavy truck traffic traveling through town, Tupper says he isn’t sure what the town might do about it.

“We’ll cross that bridge when the time comes,” he says.

ND ag commissioner OK’s herbicide to manage kochia

■ BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota Agricul-

ture Commissioner Doug Goehring has issued a special local needs (SLN) registration to FMC Corp., enabling North Dakota dry bean producers to manage kochia and ALSresistant kochia with Broadaxe Herbicide.

Goehring notes that much of the kochia in North Dakota is resistant to ALS-inhibiting herbicides and glyphosate. “This registration provides farmers with an important manage-

ment tool for managing kochia and herbicide-resistant kochia,” he says. The SLN labeling allows a preplant or preemergence application of Broadaxe to dry bean fields by ground or air. Application may be made up to three days after planting if seedlings have not broken the soil surface and if the seed furrow is completely closed or covered by soil. The product may be applied at a rate of 19 to 26 fluid ounces per acre depending on soil texture, pH and organic matter.

PLANTING EQUIPMENT FARMERS - Increasing yields in 2012 drought year was remarkable. But some did records above the records like 87.5 bushels on soybeans and corn yields from 225 to as high as 392 bushel per acre were seen and more. These were done with seed treatments and high quality nutrients.

These are the top key nutrients -Calcium, Boron and Silica - leading this factor.

Diseases were eliminated, aphids, insects and more; Sugar Beets, Corn and Soybeans are heavy users of boron. Boron in most of the United States is under required levels, plant tissue prove this.

Coping with long hours in the field

■ Wider cab entry for easier operator access.

■ A one-level, slatted walking platform for firmer footing and more accessible daily engine maintenance, plus a lower first step from the ground onto the walkway.

■ Right-side armrest that holds all the functions needed for field operations. This console “floats” with seat movement so operators don’t have to reach or search for a control while operating the machine.

■ Switch styles that don’t require applicators to look at the switches during field operation.

■ Positive cab pressure and a threelevel air filtration system that keep the air inside the cab virtually dust-, chemical- and odor-free.

■ Automatic temperature control to provide a continuous, comfortable environment without having to adjust the cabin temperature.

■ Sound-dampening material strategically placed throughout the cab to reduce external noise, allowing for one of the lowest noise levels on a self-propelled applicator.

■ An “air ride” cab suspension system and semi-active seat suspension for a more comfortable ride over rough field terrain.

“Demanding work schedules are just part of the job for many operators,” Lovell says. “But making them safer and more comfortable can also translate into greater efficiency. A safe, happy operator is a productive operator.”

John Deere adds array of environmental sensors to Field Connect Deere & Co.

OLATHE, Kan. — Expanding on the John Deere Field Connect soil moisture monitoring system introduced last fall, John Deere will add new environmental sensors and features this spring to provide additional information to producers of all types of agricultural crops.

The new environmental sensors include: ■ Weather station.

■ Rain gauge.

■ Temperature sensor.

■ Pyranometer.

■ Leaf wetness sensor.

In addition to the soil moisture data in the Field Connect system, the new sensors provide data on temperature, wind speed, wind direction, humidity, solar radiation, leaf wetness and rainfall. The sensors are installed in customer fields as part of the Field Connect Gateway.

Nicholas Shafer, product manager for the John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group, says the new environmental sensors, along with the multiple capacitance soil moisture sensors, give customers a more comprehensive and accurate picture of what’s going on in

their fields.

“With this detailed site-specific information, producers are able to more efficiently utilize water resources, as well as schedule and perform other agronomic practices dependant on soil and environmental conditions,” Shafer explains. “This results in more efficient use of inputs, fuel and labor saving and additional yield potential from the crop.”

Field-specific soil moisture and environmental data is transmitted to a secure website for viewing, and customers can program the system to receive

alerts based on set parameters. Field Connect charts the data from the readings over time, allowing producers to identify trends. The system can be customized to each field depending on the objectives of each customer to more effectively optimize the productivity of each field.

“These sensors provide key information to producers, helping them to make better agronomic decisions that will pay off with higher yields at harvest,” Shafer says.

Claas

Claas unveils new combine

OMAHA, Neb. — Visitors to the recent Ag Connect Conference were among the first to witness a special unveiling of the new Lexion 780 combine from Claas. The state-of-the-art combine is headlined by greater functionality, featuring a dynamic cooling system, four-link rear axle and newly automated Claas Electronic Machine Optimization System technology.

“This will be the top-end model, what we call Class 10 as the largest combines, capable of operating with those large headers. It is the next step in Lexion combines,” says Jeff Gray, product coordinator of Claas of North America.

The trademark of the new Lexion 780 combine is a higher horsepower engine that is cooled via the dynamic cooling system. Along with the engine upgrades is a fuel efficient, 16L Mercedes-Benz diesel engine that complies with Tier 4i emission standards.

“The new engine on the Lexion 780 produces 543 horsepower with a bulge that increases total power output to 590 horsepower,” Gray says. “To support the higher horsepower engine, Claas integrated a new cooling system, which we call dynamic cooling. It enhances cooling for larger engines with larger horsepower demands.”

Placed horizontally behind the engine, the 63-inch rotating screen is able to consistently draw in clean air from

the top of the combine, as opposed to being placed on the sides. A variable fan drive helps conserve power by adjusting speed automatically, depending on the level of cooling needed.

The cooling system also maintains a barrier against dust and debris. Air that is expelled from the motor through side cooling vents creates a “curtain effect.” This method of dispersing air prevents debris buildup on the radiator.

Suspension and stability were also enhanced with a four-link rear axle.

The patented Claas design allows for increased mobility with tires up to 67.3 inches high. The four-link axle also features lateral movement and allows for more flexibility and a smaller turning radius.

“The design is unique to Claas and an industry exclusive. It not only enables the rear axle to pivot, but also gives a swing motion for enhanced turning capability and efficiency ... You get more oscillation and a tighter, more efficient turning radius,” Gray says.

In line with the automation and ease of use of the Lexion 780, the all-wheel drive Power Trac is engaged by the press of a button. The powerful yet fuel efficient drive capitalizes on a second hydrostatic drive on the rear axle; additional traction can be employed and intelligent control technology can be engaged while on the move.

Claas has also focused on improving telematics and utilizing sensors and

monitors to optimize performance in the field. CEMOS technology, a dialogue-based system that allows the operator to establish the correct situation settings, has become automated in the new Lexion 780 series.

CEMOS has reached a second stage and is now self-setting for the various situations an operator may encounter.

A new header drive also provides for improved fuel conservation. The drive is Claas capable of a constant 3 The new Claas Lexion 780 combine features a output of 107 horsepower and a variable dynamic cooling system, four-link rear axle and new automation technology. output of up to 268 horsepower.

Kinze unveils 4900 Series planter for 2014

Kinze Manufacturing Inc.

WILLIAMSBURG, Iowa — Kinze Manufacturing Inc. unveiled its new Kinze 4900 planter series recently during a launch event at its world headquarters.

With a new narrow transport front-fold frame design, 30-inch row spacing and a choice of 12, 16, or 24 rows, the Kinze 4900 planter offers many significant new features that contribute to productivity and precision during the planting season.

“We conducted extensive research with farmers and engineered a new design, which provides superior agronomic performance,” says Rhett Schildroth, product manager for Kinze.

“We designed a new, front folding tool bar, engineered a state-of-the-art vacuum meter with optional electric drive and created a cast iron row unit with more vertical travel.”

The new patent-pending seed meter offers 99 percent accuracy at speeds from 2 to 8 mph. The meter is available with contact drive, hydraulic drive, and — new with the 4900 planter — electric drive (also patent pending). Rugged, high torque 24-volt motors allow for precise seed rate control by row. This means farmers will get consistent seed spacing from the inside row to the outside row — even on tight radius turns and contours. Electric drive means there are no chains, clutches, gearboxes or shafts to maintain.

The new planter frame has 42 degrees of wing flex (21 degrees up, 21 de-

grees down) to offer superior ground contact on rolling terrain and terraces.

With the new bulk fill tank design, the 16- and 24-row planters offer 120-bushel capacity, while the 12-row offers 90bushel capacity. Further, the planter frame incorporates hydraulic weight transfer, a Kinze-exclusive feature. This minimizes potential compaction and ensures that the row units provide a consistent seed depth while moving across the field, even on the roughest terrain. Additionally, with up to 120 bushels of seed and 500 gallons of liquid fertilizer capacity, the 4900 planter allows farmers to continue planting for long periods of time without having to stop and refill.

Maneuverability is critical, so Kinze engineers incorporated an industry exclusive flip-axle option (patent pending) for the 24-row planter to significantly reduce hitch weight and make it easy to move in and out of fields. The flip axle hydraulically swings forward for transport, reducing the hitch to axle distance by nearly 5 feet for a tighter turning radius and reduced hitch weight. The toolbar has been raised to provide higher in-field clearance and to improve residue flow.

The brand new row unit has a rugged cast iron design, providing the necessary stiffness for perfect seed placement, even in today’s toughest no-till fields. In addition, row unit vertical travel has been increased to 12 inches, keeping all row units in the ground on

Butler Machinery Co.

Butler acquires Johnson Farm Equipment

FARGO, N.D. — Butler Ag Equipment, a division of Butler Machinery, has acquired Johnson Farm Equipment Co. effective on or before June 1.

The acquisition includes a transition of all Johnson Farm Equipment operations from North Bend and Fremont, Neb., to the new Butler Ag Equipment facility currently under construction in Fremont. Both companies, with the support of AGCO, will work closely the next several months to ensure a seamless transition for all Johnson Farm Equipment customers.

“We are excited about the addition of Johnson Farm Equipment to Butler Ag

Equipment in Nebraska,” says Dan Butler, president of Butler Machinery Co. “As a family-owned business, Johnson Farm Equipment has proudly served customers in Eastern Nebraska for many years. We look forward to continuing the tradition with the Butler family.”

Harry and Marie Johnson started Johnson Farm Equipment in 1950 in North Bend. Since that time, they have expanded to Fremont and have become one of AGCO’s top volume dealerships in North America under the leadership of their sons, Galen and Tom. “Tom and I have always done our best to take care of our customers and employees the way our father did,” says

Galen Johnson, owner of Johnson Farm Equipment.

“In the last year, Tom and I were faced with the difficult decision of either moving forward with our plans to build a new dealership on property we acquired in Fremont, or consider selling our business to Butler Ag Equipment. After careful consideration during the last several months, with our customers and employees being the first priority, Tom and I felt the decision to join forces with Butler was in the best interest of our customers, our employees, and the Johnson family.”

The acquisition of Johnson Farm Equipment strengthens Butler Ag Equipment’s commitment to Nebraska’s

agricultural equipment market. In December, Butler Ag Equipment opened a temporary facility in Kearney, Neb. It continues construction of a new facility in Fremont and will be communicating a new facility location in southeast Nebraska in the near future.

“As we continue to increase our presence in Nebraska, we look forward to the opportunity of serving all your agriculture equipment needs in the future,” Butler says.

Butler Ag Equipment is a division of Butler Machinery Company headquartered in Fargo, N.D. Information: www.butlermachinery. com.

AGCO to retire SpraCoupe self-propelled sprayer in 2013 AGCO

DULUTH, Ga. — Citing EPA compliance and diminishing volumes resulting in an ever-changing industry landscape, AGCO will discontinue production of its line of SpraCoupe compact, self-propelled sprayers for the North American market in 2013.

Mark Sharitz, AGCO’s marketing director for application equipment, says production of all SpraCoupe 2013 models — including the 4460, 4660, 7460 and

7660 models — will continue through May. AGCO will continue to manufacture SpraCoupe parts, which will remain available to customers, along with professional service support from their SpraCoupe dealers, he says.

For the past 50 years, the SpraCoupe brand has served farmers who want smaller professional-grade self-propelled application equipment for applying fertilizer and crop protection products on their own. The North American customer base for this segment has

been shrinking, however, reflecting fewer, smaller farms and a growing number of larger farming operations, fueling demand for larger, more productive machines. Sharitz says these market shifts combined with the cost for Tier 4 compliance have made it impractical to continue the SpraCoupe brand after the 2013 model year.
