HORSCH ANDERSON
Farming with passion
the JOKER Corn, wheat, bean or cover crop, the Horsch Anderson Joker is versatile enough to handle any type of crop residue in wet, dry, rocky or extremely saturated soils. No other tillage system gives you the speed, durability, moisture conservation and finishing capabilities of the Horsch Anderson Joker. With the Joker, you don’t have to sacrifice speed to finely chop and incorporate residue back into your field. It is specifically designed to perform at higher speeds in order to give you the most efficient, time-saving tillage experience. From the frame to the tires, the discs to the finishing system, the team at Horsch Anderson analyzed every aspect of the design to find ways to improve performance and increase your productivity. The result is the fastest, most efficient minimum tillage system on the market. The Joker can till fields in half the time or faster. Just a few miles per hour faster increases the productivity per acre. In our field tests, the Joker was able to perform at speeds up to 12 mph. That’s more than twice as fast as traditional tiller systems. Think about how much more you could accomplish with the fast, efficient and flexible Joker. The Joker compact disc may not look like every other tiller system, but then again, no other minimum tillage system handles quite like the Joker. Whether it’s the MT, RT or PT series, the Joker has the versatility to become an integral part or your farming operations.

Claiming Historic Carbon Offset Credits for Conservation Tillage There’s still time for farmers to claim historical carbon credits for their conservation tillage practices. Alberta’s Offset System gives farmers an opportunity to sell carbon credits for conservation tillage management since reduced till and no-till practices increase levels of carbon stored in the soil. This method of biological carbon capture and storage creates carbon offset credits which may be sold to other organizations seeking to reduce their emissions. Alberta farmers may be able to claim historic carbon credits on land they have farmed using conservation tillage between January 1, 2002, and December
31, 2011, provided they have the necessary records and can obtain the third party verification needed to complete their carbon credit registration. Records must show proof of ownership, farm size and location, crop type, soil disturbance and other management such as reseeding or irrigation. Since soil carbon is stored at a very slow rate, the value of the offset is only around a dollar per acre. This can add up when large numbers of acres are gathered together, which is what aggregator companies do to build pools that are attractive to buyers. Aggregators also identify and collect necessary records and set up the

$10,000 BULL GIVEAWAY Anyone who had a Charolais Bull transfered to them since January 1st, 2010 to date are eligible to win a $10,000 Charolais Bull.

The demand for Charolais genetics is on the increase with higher prices for bulls and a renewed desire for heavier calves.
third party verification needed to complete a carbon credit registration. The Farmer’s Advocate Office webpage provides a list of aggregators of agricultural carbon offsets as well as carbon credit contracting information (go to www.agriculture.alberta.ca and enter “carbon contracting” in the search field). Historic carbon credits under the Tillage System Management protocol must be registered before March 31, 2012. Earlier deadlines are needed to complete the process and will vary according to individual aggregator company. Registered historical offset credits may be retired or sold in the future.
On January 1, 2012, a new Conservation Cropping protocol will take effect for conservation tillage practices that occur after this date. The new protocol will have more detailed evidence and verification requirements, following recommendations of Alberta’s Auditor General for all offsets in the Alberta Offset System. Since positive proof of management is required, only go-forward credits will be allowed. The new protocol will also have fewer offset credits available for no-till management. This is since higher rates of conservation tillage occurred between 2001 and 2006, which lowered amounts of newly stored soil car-
bon that is available to be spread among farmers. The revised protocol also gives new opportunity to get more offset credits in the dry prairie area of the province by replacing areas of summerfallow with continuous no-till cropping. Farmers may also qualify for one of the 10 other governmentapproved offset protocols associated with agriculture practice improvements that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These can be added to credits from the Conservation Cropping protocol for increased value. The Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) website gives an overview of the offset system,
provides answers to frequently asked questions, and contains summaries of each of the agriculture offset protocols. ARD is updating our website to give farmers a “one-stop shop” for obtaining information on agricultural carbon offsets. ARD also has a new greenhouse gas offsets agrologist on staff, Paul Jungnitsch, who’ll be attending trade shows and giving presentations across the province over the winter months. Presentation times and locations will be listed. For more information, see: www.agriculture.alberta.ca/agcarbonoffsets, contact Paul at (780-427-3801), or call the AgInfo Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Return to Rural – You Can Go Home Again! A unique rural development strategy in southeastern Alberta is overcoming the traditional distance barriers faced by rural remote communities through the use of technology and social media. The Return to Rural (R2R) project is a regional collaboration of the communities of Special Areas, MD of Acadia No. 34, Village of Cereal, Village of Empress and the Town of Oyen that takes advantage of a re-
cently installed broadband network to assist existing business with their planning and marketing as well as attracting new businesses and residents. “The Return to Rural initiative has revolutionized the way the region approaches economic development,” says Christie Dick, project manager for R2R. “The project uses social media tools and enhanced broadband capabilities to provide technology and
business supports that are designed to attract early and midcareer families to rural communities. The initiative blends technology and community to create an environment where anyone can live their dream life in a rural setting.” A core piece of the R2R project is the availability of both business and technology coaching for businesses and entrepreneurs. Initial sessions included “Facebook 101” and “Twitter 101” group sessions focused on using social media for marketing and increasing business yields using social media. Individuals or businesses could also book one-onone time with technology and
business coaches for more detail and personal help. “This project has had the immediate effect of putting dollars in the pockets of our business people,” says Dick. “The businesses that have worked with us have increased sales.” A local photographer had a good business, but came to a social media bootcamp and learned a few things about using social media for marketing. Wanting to develop a social marketing strategy, the photographer met with the R2R business and technology coaches and started showing her work on Facebook. As a result of her success, she is now investing in the building of a
webpage. As a consequence, a local web designer is also seeing an increase in business. When the R2R project started, the focus was on reaching youth who had left the area and encouraging them to return home. Damien Evens was one of those young people. Living in Medicine Hat, he was interested in returning home if a viable opportunity arose. His first choice was to contact R2R to investigate possibilities. One opportunity existed, the autobody shop in Oyen had closed two years ago. Christie Caskey, R2R’s business coach helped Damien through the process of developing a business plan, demystifying the bidding
process for property and networking with funders. His bid was ultimately accepted and Damien and his new family are moving back to his home community to raise their child and run the autobody shop. R2R is now looking at how they can share their project learnings with rural Alberta via toolkits, models and best practices. “The situation that sparked the idea here isn’t unique to the Special Areas,” says Dick, “many rural places are looking at how they can bring back young families. If our knowledge and experience can help them do that, so much the better.”

By Tharran Gaines D U M A S , T E X A S — Darren Stallwitz isn’t a psychic or a fortune teller, but he’s already made at least one prediction that he believes will ‌ unfortunately ‌ come true. “Our three electric center pivot irrigation units will give me more trouble this year and take up more of my time than all 13 of our T-L units combined,â€? says Darren, who farms with his father, Eddie, and son, Garrett, near Dumas, Texas. “I just know they will, because that has certainly been the case in the past.â€? Due to record drought across Texas in 2011, this past growing season certainly wasn’t the time to experience problems, either. In response to a directive from the State of Texas to predict how much water would remain in the underlying aquifer in 50 years the North Plains Water District has already established pumping allocations, which have been steadily decreasing every few years. The allocations started four years ago with a 24-inch limit and 2011 was the ďŹ rst year for an 18-inch quota. The next step down will be 16 inches. Of the nearly 5,500 acres the Stallwitz family farms, approximately 40 percent of it is irrigated with the crop mix divided between irrigated and dryland wheat, approximately 850 acres of irrigated corn, 110 acres of hay and about 100 acres of milo.
“We’ve already done a number of things to help reduce our water usage,â€? Stallwitz relates. “For one, we’ve been planting almost everything no-till in an effort to maintain as much residue as possible to reduce evaporation from the heat and wind. That includes rotating some of our corn with irrigated wheat and planting no-till into the old wheat stubble,â€? he adds, noting that irrigated wheat also requires less water than corn, yet provides higher yields than dryland wheat. “Garrett thinks we should go to strip till on our row crops, but we’re still looking at that option.â€? Like most farmers in the area, Stallwitz also uses sprinkler nozzles on drop tubes on all the pivots to put the water a few inches from the ground. Darren says he has also begun experimenting with soil moisture probes in a couple ďŹ elds to measure precise moisture levels in the root zone down to 60 inches. “I can pull up all the information on the computer, but I’m still working on how to apply it,â€? he admits. “The idea is to hold off irrigation until the monitor tells you when the plants actually need water. That includes holding off irrigation when the roots are developing to force them deeper into the soil proďŹ le.â€? Of course, that means the pivot needs be ready to go when it’s time to water. “I think I’ve only replaced one gearbox on a T-L the whole time we’ve owned them,â€?
he says, noting that all are equipped with planetary drives. “I have replaced a few hydraulic motors, but only because of age. Our oldest T-L unit is 32 years old and it’s still going.â€? That hasn’t been the case with the three electric units Stallwitz Farms still operates. Darren says he is continually working on center drives, gearboxes, U-joints and switches. “I think all that starting and stopping is just hard on the electric units,â€? he says. “There’s a lot of torque there every time you stop and restart; and I think that contributes to a lot of the problems.â€? Darren says the only reason he even has any electric units at all is because he and his brother, who used to farm with the family, bought two of them used. The third was acquired when a previous landlord didn’t want to split the cost of a T-L. “We haven’t bought anything but T-L pivots since that time, even after a tornado took out three of our pivots,â€? he adds. “The insurance paid for one new T-L and we used the parts from the one we replaced to repair another one. “Of course, that’s another advantage of the T-L units,â€? he says. “They’re simple enough that we can do a lot of our own repairs. T-L was the ďŹ rst unit Dad bought back in the late ‘70s and it’s still the brand he prefers today ‌ primarily for that very reason.â€? s

But those four decades are only a blink of an eye in terms of irrigation history. Fact is, the use of irrigation can be traced back more than 6,000 years ago to when farmers in Egypt and Mesopotamia (present day Iraq and Iran) began using ood waters from the Nile and Tigris/ Euphrates rivers to water their crops. It wasn’t until 1952 that the idea of a center pivot sprinkler system was even conceived. According to the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), which recognizes the center pivot irrigator as “An historic landmark of agricultural engineeringâ€?, a Strasburg, Colorado, farmer named Frank Zyback patented the ďŹ rst “self-propelled sprinkling irrigation apparatusâ€? on July 22, 1952. The patent described the new apparatus as a series of mobile towers that carried a pipeline around a pivot. Sprinklers on the pipeline distributed the water to the crop. Two years later, Robert Daugherty, the founder of Valley Manufacturing in Valley, Nebraska, acquired the patent and developed a commercial product that debuted in 1954. According to historians at Wessels Living History Farm in York, Nebraska, Valley had the market for center pivot systems pretty much to itself through much of the 1950s and ‘60s, until the patent expired in 1969. Despite the advantages a center pivot system offered, it was still slow going for the center pivot industry as a whole through much of that time. In fact, only seven center pivot machines were built in 1955. By 1960, production was still limited to about 50 units a year. By the end of the 1960s, however, the market took off – just as the original patent protecting Zybach’s invention ran out. One reason for the sudden growth was that more and more farmers were facing
labor shortages as young people were leaving the farm. Wessels Living History Farm records that one man using a gated-pipe system could irrigate approximately 320 to 480 acres per day. “However, if that same farmer could buy and install several pivot systems, he could supervise the irrigation of 1,200 to 2,000 acres per day.â€? Secondly, center pivot irrigation units allowed even hilly land to be irrigated. Farmers who were looking to expand in the 1960s were ďŹ nding that all of the at land that could be irrigated by gravity was already priced out of the reach of the average farmer. However, there was still plenty of fertile, but hilly, land around the country — particularly in Nebraska and the High Plains — that could be purchased at a reasonable price. Finally, irrigation provided an insurance policy against drought, which often plagued the Great Plains. With irrigation, farmers ‌ and their bankers ‌ could count on a crop, no matter the weather. It also allowed farmers in many areas to grow more valuable crops, such as corn, where only wheat or grain sorghum had previously survived. By 1972, there were 2,725 pivot systems in Nebraska alone. By 1980, there were 18,785. And by 2002, there were an estimated 258,000 center pivots installed around the world. “Even before the patent ran out in 1969, other companies were bringing out their own systems with their own unique differences designed to avoid patent infringement,â€? states Wessels’ website (www. livinghistoryfarm.org). For example, Zybach’s ďŹ rst system siphoned some of the pressurized water from the main pipe and directed it to a piston that operated a ratchet-like linkage that moved the wheels. However, as early as 1959, an Australian company had modiďŹ ed the Zybach design to use electric motors on the wheels and a truss system to support the pipe at

each tower. A California-based pump company eventually brought the system to the United States, put rubber tires on the towers, instead of steel wheels, and began marketing it as Raincat. After going through various owners — eventually landing in Greeley, Colorado — Raincat went out of business in the early 1980s. Other new companies came up with their own innovations, including other conďŹ gurations of electric drive and a “bow-stringâ€? truss system under the pipe spans. In contrast, early systems had used wires
running from the top of tall towers to support arched or bowed pipe. However, the truss system bowed the pipe up and transferred the weight back to the towers. This was not only important for supporting the weight of the water, which at 14 pounds per cubic foot could add up to more than 18,000 pounds over a quarter-mile pivot, but it helped raise the span high enough to clear tall corn. In the meantime, LeRoy Thom, a farm-raised agricultural engineer from Minden Nebraska, and later on his sons, Dave and Jim, decided they, too, could
improve on the center pivot machines on the market. Founded in 1955 by Leroy Thom and a partner named J. G. Love, T-L Irrigation had already become established as a manufacturer of gravity irrigation systems and grain dryers. Seeing an opportunity to change the market, the Thom family developed and introduced a system in 1969 that used hydraulic motors to drive the wheels on each tower. The idea was that hydraulic motors would allow the systems to move around the ďŹ eld at a constant rate, rather than starting and stopping at set intervals as electric motors do, thereby applying water more evenly. “We looked at electricity,â€? LeRoy admits. “But we had some reasons why we decided against powering them with electricity. First of all, farmers work with hydraulics every day and understand them,â€? he adds. “They usually can make what repairs are needed themselves.â€? Unfortunately, the 1980s took a toll on the industry as the export market for American grain literally dried up. Agricultural credit became extremely tight, farm machinery companies
went out of business or merged, farmers were in danger of losing their farms and the majority of center pivot companies went out of business. Today, T-L Irrigation, along with three competitors in Nebraska and a company in Oregon that only builds custom-ordered pivots, are the only ones that remain in business in the United States; and T-L is still the only center pivot manufacturer that uses hydraulic drive. Yet, there were certainly plenty of attempts in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s to enter the rapidly growing center pivot market. According to Wessels Living History Farm records, “Over the years, there have been over 80 individuals or companies who have tried to make and sell center pivot systems, even though some of the smaller companies were bought by the giants.â€? Most, however, simply tried and failed ‌ like Paul Geis, a car dealer in York, Nebraska, who also had a small business that made irrigation pipe. He introduced his Kroy (York spelled backward) center pivot system powered by compressed air in the late ’60s. When the system failed to catch on, Geis sold it to a well driller in Sidney, Nebraska, who quit the business in the late 1970s. Additional names that came and went include Tumac, Pringle, Mel Brown, Olson and Gifford Hill. Fortunately, those that have remained in business continue to develop new technology that allows farmers to be even more efďŹ cient. For example, T-L not only offers linear and towable units, in addition to circle and corner pivot irrigation systems, but remote control that allows the operator to start, stop and monitor the system from an ofďŹ ce computer or cell phone. Sprinkler systems can also be conďŹ gured to nearly any shape and size a producer wants to cover. Needless to say, the industry has come a long way since Frank Zyback had an idea for an overhead sprinkler that simply pivoted in a circle. s

No Room For Electric Pivots
This Oklahoma rancher insists that one way or another, his only electric center pivot unit is leaving! By Tharran Gaines B E AV E R , O K L A H O M A — Steve Parker doesn’t have much use for the electric center pivot irrigation system he bought several years ago. And he means that both literally and figuratively. “It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve even used it,” says Parker, who has since installed two T-L center pivot units on the cattle and wheat operation he owns south of Beaver, Oklahoma. “Yet, every month, until I told them to just come out and remove the meter, I was having to pay a meter service charge. “I think I’ve finally got it sold,” he relates. “But I’ll cut it up and build cattle pens out of the pipe if I have to. One way or the other, it’s leaving. I’ve had nothing but trouble with that one since the day I bought it.”
“I liked the idea of no electricity, because I understand hydraulics a whole lot better than I do 480-volt electricity.”
Irrigation is nothing new to Parker, however. For as long as he can remember, Parker has been moving irrigation pipe and dealing with temperamental systems. In fact, he says his father and grandfather drilled the first well in 1962 and began furrow irrigating corn and sorghum for silage. Even today, Parker says he still does some furrow irrigation in combination with a few side-roll lateral systems. “Fortunately, I’ve since got acquainted with my dealer for T-L,” he adds. “I liked the idea of no electricity, because I understand hydraulics a whole lot better than I do 480-volt electricity.” Although a lot of things have changed since Parker put in the first of his two T-L units — without any electricity needed at the control box — he says he still holds a preference for T-L pivots. Originally, he says, they were installed to help irrigate wheat, alfalfa and forage grown for a family owned dairy that once numbered up to 140 cows. Today, the dairy is gone, and so is the alfalfa. However, cattle are still the focus on Parker’s ranch. It’s just that the herd
Electric Center Pivot
that averages around 175 in number now consists of beef cattle. “Wheat is the only cash crop I grow,” Parker says, relating that around 350 acres total are under some type of irrigation. “Otherwise, it’s all cattle related.” In addition to the cow/ calf herd that he maintains year around, Parker says he and his son, who works at the sale barn in Beaver, often buy what they call “put together cows”. “Those are the old cull cows that come through the ring one or two at a time,” he explains. “We try to buy them pregnant so we can get at least one more calf off of them while speculating on the cows themselves.” Unfortunately, Parker is still responding to one of the worst droughts in history. Just this past summer, he was forced to sell off more than 40 head of cows, bringing his herd down to around 115 animals. Still, he insists it would have been worse had he not had a crop of coolseason grass under one of his T-L pivots. In addition, Parker is not one to overgraze a pasture of any
Center Pivot

kind. That includes the winter wheat he used for pasture this past winter. “I’d open the gate and leave them on the wheat for four or five hours at a time and drive them off,” he says, noting that he also has about 120 acres of dryland wheat. “I can still remember when I was in grade school and not being able to see more than a few hundred yards because of blowing dust; and I don’t intend to let it happen again. Besides, if you manage it right,
you can graze the wheat during the winter and still get a decent wheat crop. Of course, that wasn’t the case this year, with the drought. We were lucky to get any wheat at all.” Of course, that’s another reason he has dreams of adding at least one or two more T-L units as replacements for the side-roll machines. “Those lateral-move units are so inefficient they can barely pull their own weight when they’re filled with water,” he says. “In
comparison the T-Ls not only save water, but they do a better job of putting it on than our electric pivot ever did. Because of the hydraulic drive, the motion is always steady, whereas the electric units continuously stop and start. “Best of all, the T-L pivots require a lot less labor than either the sideroll systems or the electric units,” he concludes. “And at my age, I’m all for anything that takes less labor.” s
The “start-stop” action of electrically powered pivot systems result in the uneven water distribution pattern shown in the left-hand graphic. This unevenness will exist with any control system used, including VRI (Variable Rate Irrigation). This “spoking” can result in inconsistent crop production and lost revenue. T-L hydrostatically powered systems deliver the smooth, even water pattern shown in the right-hand graphic. This water pattern is consistent with T-L pivot systems, and enhances the performance of any control system used with the pivot, including VRI. You can gain improved crop production and better use of water resources through the elimination of “spoking”.

In the meantime, Mercer continues to put the emphasis on corn production with a rotation that consists of three years of corn, followed by one year of soybeans. With irrigation, corn typically yields in the range or 170 to 220 bushels per acre, while soybeans average 70 bushels or more. “I’ve been looking at trying to go with a little more no-till on some ďŹ elds, just to further protect against erosion,â€? he says, noting that the transition becomes a lot easier with the elimination of furrows. “But I also look at it as a way to reduce labor, which is really what it’s all about these days.â€? s

in the area since 1966. “It’s tough to hire anybody for just the spring and fall,â€? Dan relates. “If they need a job, they obviously prefer something full time.â€? Consequently, Mercer has been trying to get away from as much furrow irrigation as possible ‌ even if the newest T-L only covers a quarter circle. “We’re down to where we can’t put in any more full-circle pivots,â€? he explains. “One of the things I do like about the T-L halfcircle pivot is that I can adjust the amount of time it sets at the stop before it reverses direction. I usually set it for eight to 10 minutes so we can get the edges watered a little better.â€? Mercer says the other challenge to adding more pivots is talking the landlord on their rented land into splitting the cost.

One factor is the location of the T-L factory, which is only about 40 miles away. Another is the fact that one of Dan’s good friends works for T-L. “I don’t know what it is, but I also don’t seem to have as much trouble with the nozzles clogging up on the T-L units as I do with the other units,� he adds. “I don’t know if it has something to do with the way they build the pipe or what.� Dan insists the reliability of T-L units is particularly important these days as his dad looks toward retirement, having farmed

Wise Advice
“My recommendation is to buy T-L pivots or replace the old electric pivots with T-L pivots to help the project succeed.� By Tharran Gaines EGY P T — When Tamer Semida has trouble with a center pivot irrigation system, he always hopes that the problem is something he and his crew can repair themselves. Otherwise, he often has to wait two or three days for a repairman to make the 250- to 375-mile trip to the farm. And that’s just oneway. That’s one reason Semida has advised his employer, as well as other companies in Egypt, where he serves as head of the agriculture section for the Jenaan Company, to buy only T-L pivots when purchasing new units or replacing old electric units. Semida speaks from experience, too, having worked with center pivot systems since 2004. “I worked for a year in the Sinai in food crop production where they had several different irrigation methods, including drip, sprinklers and pivots,� he says. “The most effective and lowest cost system was the pivots, even though the electrical and mechanical malfunctions caused some troubles.� From 2005 through 2007, Semida worked with the National Research Center on an agronomical consulting project involving fertilization management. Unfortunately, he again saw his share of electrical malfunctions. It wasn’t until he joined the Jenaan
Company in 2008 that Semida discovered there was an alternative. “In August 2009, the chairman of the company told me he had bought another pivot system that worked on hydraulic oil,â€? he recalls. “That was the ďŹ rst time I had heard about T-L. I could not believe it. The T-L is an amazing pivot, which has worked all this time without any malfunctions.â€? Located in the extreme southwest corner of Egypt in an area known as the Sharq El-Owienate ProjectNew Val-ley governorate, the Jenaan Company currently produces a wide variety of crops, including alfalfa, Bermuda grass, wheat and vegetables. However, because the farm is situated in the desert, approximately 400 kilometers (250 miles) from Dakhla City, Egypt, and 600 kilometers (375 miles) from Aswan, Egypt, it’s virtually impossible to produce a crop without irrigation. “Pivot irrigation systems are the most effective and lowest in cost for food and feed crop production,â€? Semida says, noting that the company’s current inventory includes 160 center pivot units, consisting of 25 T-L hydraulic-drive pivots and 135 electric units from two other companies. “That’s because one pivot can cover between 118 and 150 acres and one person can operate more than one unit ‌ which means
we can easily spread the agriculture investments to further reduce the cost of human power in comparison with the ďŹ xed irrigation systems (drip and sprinkler).â€? Semida says that by using a regular preventive maintenance program, he believes he can keep most of the pivots working without problems or downtime. Still, he has found that T-L pivots, with their hydraulic drive system, offer a superior advantage when it comes to reliability.
“T-L pivots definitely have more advantages in comparison with the electric pivots, such as the low preventive maintenance and repair costs‌â€? “T-L pivots deďŹ nitely have more advantages in comparison with the electric pivots, such as the low preventive maintenance and repair costs,â€? he says. “This means lower requirements for operating and maintenance staff and maximum time efďŹ ciency for ‘higher income’.â€? Although the Jenaan Company project was initiated to grow and export hay and forage
7DPHU 6HPLGD VD\V 7 / LV WKH RQO\ EUDQG KH UHFRPPHQGV IRU LUULJDWLRQ LQ (J\SW¡V KRW GU\ FOLPDWH
crops like alfalfa, millet, oats and Bermuda, it has since expanded to include wheat and potatoes and is currently studying the viability of other crops, including vegetables. “Jenaan Company now has 33,000 acres divided into two projects in southwest Egypt,â€? Semida explains. “The old one includes 20,000 acres with all of it being sowed. The recent one includes 13,000 acres, which are under construction to add wells and roads. At the same time, there are negotiations between the company and the Egyptian regime about Jenaan’s plans to expand its agriculture investments to reach 100,000 acres in the Toshca project which is closer to the city of Aswan.â€? Regardless of the location, Semida and his staff have to contend with challenges most North American farmers never have to face ‌ like endless sand. Still, the predominance of ďŹ ne sand and sandy soil isn’t the biggest problem. That would be the heat, which can easily range from 100 degrees to well over 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the afternoons in June,
July and August. “The heat is the biggest challenge we face because it can cause oil leakage in the gearboxes,� he says. “That leads to failures in the gearbox or couplings and stops the continuity of our work.� Due to the dry conditions, Semida says the irrigation schedule is 12 hours per day in the winter and 18 to 20 hours per day in the summer. At full speed, the pivots can make a full revolution in approximately 12 hours and apply around 3,000 cubic meters (792,500 gallons) of water. At 60 percent speed, which is closer to the average, a pivot will take 20 hours per revolution and apply about 5,000 cubic meters (1.3 million gallons) of water. Because the sandy soil is low on nutrients, the center pivot units are also called on frequently to apply liquid fertilizer as a supplement to the nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients applied before and after planting. In the meantime, weed control depends on the crop, the export restrictions and management of the particular farm. Semida
says the weed density also differs from ďŹ eld to ďŹ eld, which is part of the reason they follow a diverse rotation program. “Jenaan’s plan is to take about 30 cuts of alfalfa hay, which means a ďŹ eld is in alfalfa production for about three years,â€? Semida says. “After that, the crop rotation includes wheat, corn, potatoes, barley and millet to create diversity of the crop type and the soil microbiology, while enriching soil fertility.â€? All of that, of course, depends on a steady water supply. “Within the company, we have a very welltrained staff of engineers and technicians who do the maintenance work on the pivots, engines and pumps,â€? Semida concludes. “However, I am trained to do most of the maintenance and instruction, as well. In fact, I remember in 2008, when the farm wasn’t as large as it is today, when I would carry a tool bag in my car and when I’d see a defect, I would stop and repair it myself without any help.â€? Fortunately, as the number of T-L pivots continues to grow, the use of that tool bag is even less frequent. s

Water and Electricity Make Poor Bedfellows T-L pivots reveal additional benefits when floodwaters inundate Missouri River bottomland. By Tharran Gaines ROCK P O R T, M I S S O U R I — Richard Oswald has never felt that water and electricity were a good mix … which is one of the reasons he has always preferred T-L center pivot systems over electric pivots. However, he never thought of safety in terms of floodwaters. In the last 20 years alone, at least four of the six T-L center pivots on Oswald’s 2,000-acre farm near Rock Port, Missouri, have been partially or totally submerged in water from the nearby Missouri River. Prior to that, the area hadn’t experienced widespread flooding since 1952, before the current levy system was finished. Although Oswald’s farmland used to be split nearly 50/50 between hill country and bottoms, the mix has changed significantly since his son, Brandon, started farming in 1989. Today, most of Richard’s farm ground is in the river bottom, while most of his son’s land is in the hills. Although portions of the farm are owned together, other fields are owned and managed individually. Interestingly, some of the land that Richard and his wife, Linda, farm under the umbrella of Oswald Farms is also fifthgeneration property owned by cousins living as far away as New York. In fact, they technically own five of the T-L pivots, even though they left the purchase decision up to Oswald. “The worst thing about the gumbo in the bottoms is that when you till it and leave it exposed to the wind, it tends to blow and drift worse than sand,” Oswald insists. “When it’s wet, it’s the heaviest soil you can imagine, but it can also be like powder when it dries.” That’s why Oswald has been using irrigation for as long as he can remember and a total no-till program since 1986.
“Not only does notill farming reduce the potential for erosion, but it offers a tremendous amount of savings in fuel and equipment. Tillage implements wear out and I don’t see a need to put that many hours on a tractor.” Oswald has the same conservative view of center pivot irrigation. “My father purchased the first T-L center pivot in 1984 after years of he and I wading irrigation ditches and moving pipes and siphon tubes,” he says. “We liked the idea of the oil drive in place of electric motors. At the time, I remember reading that electrocution was the second leading cause of death in farmer fatalities; and I think center pivot irrigation systems were the leading cause within the category. So that made an impression on me.
“My children were growing up on the farm at the time, and we just thought T-L offered a safer solution…” “My children were growing up on the farm at the time, and we just thought T-L offered a safer solution,” he adds. “I understand that electric drive is what most of the center pivot industry has evolved into; but as long as there is still another option, I’ll take it.” Little did he know at the time, though, that T-L pivots would be better suited to withstand submersion in flood waters. Unlike the flood of 1993, which came and went quickly, due to heavy rain throughout the Midwest, the 2011 flood occurred when the Corp of Engineers opened the spillways on dams in South Dakota for an extended period of time. In fact, Oswald was forced out of his own home for nearly four months.

“After the flood of 1993, all I did was pull the drain plugs on the drive units and refill them,” he says. “We never had any other damage. However, the towers on four of the six pivots were setting in water for 14 weeks or more this time. “I don’t anticipate too much more damage than last time, but I certainly wouldn’t think it would be good for electric motors to set in water that long … even if they are sealed to withstand normal conditions.” Oswald insists he also likes the continuous movement of the T-L units, which was once more important than it is today. “I don’t think they have as many problems as pivots that start and stop every few minutes,” he relates. “We certainly haven’t had any problems anyway.
“However, it was an even bigger issue when we used to do a lot more chemigation,” he adds. “Several years ago, when Dad was still farming, we used to put on a majority of our fungicides through the pivot. However, with Bt corn, that has pretty much ended.” Oswald says he has also cut back on his practice of applying liquid fertilizer through the pivots as the price has increased. Today, he puts most of his nitrogen on in the form of cheaper anhydrous ammonia, even though he had great success with liquid nitrogen applied through the pivots just prior to tasseling. “I still think T-L pivots are a good investment, though, even if they aren’t used for anything more than insurance in dry years when you need moisture,” he says. “We’ve fought wet
more than we’ve fought dry the last couple years or so. But if you consider the price of a combine or tractor compared to a center pivot, knowing that the center pivot is going
to last a lot longer, it’s still not a bad investment — especially when bottom ground is selling for $5,000 to $6,000 an acre and corn is selling for over $7.00 per bushel.” s

Slow and Steady Wins the Day The ability to climb a 17-degree hill without slipping is just one of the reasons these Washington state farmers prefer T-L’s continuous movement. By Tharran Gaines W H I T E SWA N , WA — When Rich Knight and his dad, Rick Knight, decided to install their most recent center pivot unit, they were surprised to learn that one competitor wasn’t even willing to give them a cost estimate. The salesman was afraid their pivot wouldn’t climb the 43-foot hill that comprised the upper end of the Knight’s quarter-section cornďŹ eld. “There are a lot steeper hills in the area,â€? says Rich, who farms around 1,000 acres in partnership with his dad near White Swan, Washington. “But with a 17-degree grade and rise of more than 40 feet from bottom to top, this one is obviously more than some pivots can handle.â€? To make matters worse, the ďŹ eld, which hasn’t been farmed in more than 20 years, contains a high percentage of alkali soil, which becomes very sticky when it is wet. Consequently, Rich says he couldn’t envision an electric-drive pivot working very well anyway.â€? “The way I ďŹ gure it, trying to pull that hill with an electric-drive unit that continually starts and stops

would be like revving up a car engine and letting out the clutch,� he says. “It would just dig itself into a rut and it would be stuck.� Although corn is an important crop for the Knights, their main commodity is alfalfa, which is marketed directly to a nearby dairy. Corn and

wheat only serve as rotation crops for the 600 acres that are devoted to hay. “Because we only get about seven inches of rain a year, everything is under irrigation,â€? Rich explains. “We have three electric mini-pivots and three T-L center pivots — one sweep that covers 80 acres; a regular circular pivot, and a corner pivot that covers 146 acres, while navigating around two houses. The rest of the farm is covered with wheel lines.â€? Unfortunately, the lateral-moving wheel lines are much more labor intensive than the pivots; and ďŹ elds watered with wheel lines can’t be rotated to corn, due to the lack of clearance. “We generally rotate a ďŹ eld out of alfalfa every ďŹ ve to six years,â€? says Rich, noting that they normally get ďŹ ve cuttings per season off of each ďŹ eld. “At that point, we’ll rotate the ďŹ elds with center pivots to one year of corn and one year of wheat before going back to
“I think we use less nitrogen when we ‘spoon feed’ it on through the pivot‌â€? alfalfa. On ďŹ elds with wheel line irrigation, we’ll go with two years of wheat. That’s another reason we’d like to add at least three more center pivot units.â€? Rich says center pivot irrigation is also preferable for applying fertilizer. In fact, the Knights use chemigation on every ďŹ eld that has a pivot. “On our alfalfa, we’ll take soil samples in the spring and then put on about 20 gallons per hour of customblended fertilizer until the recommended levels have been met.â€? Rich says they put about half of the nitrogen required by a corn crop through the pivots, as well. That’s in addition to phosphate, potash, sulfur and micronutrients. “I think we use less nitrogen when we ‘spoon
feed’ it on through the pivot,â€? he adds. “It goes immediately to the plant and you don’t have to worry about it leaching down through the soil or running off. “The key is getting it spread evenly,â€? Rich continues. “Of course, that’s another beneďŹ t of T-L’s continuous movement. You wouldn’t think of going through a ďŹ eld with a tractor and fertilizer spreader and stopping and starting every few feet; yet that’s what an electric pivot is doing.â€? On the other hand, Rick has his own reasons — besides the continuous movement and ability to climb hills — for preferring T-L center pivot units over electric-drive units. “I know how to work with hydraulics and I’m not afraid of 24 volts,â€? he says. “But 480 volts tend to scare me.â€? However, Rich says electric-drive pivots concern him for another reason. According to Knight, the state of Washington has
adopted the National Electrical Code for center pivot irrigation systems, which means the junction box on every pivot tower has to be checked by a state inspector. “Unfortunately, they don’t seem to know there is a difference between the T-L units and other brands,â€? Rich laments. “On the other hand, there’s nothing to prevent a T-L from passing, since there are no junction boxes on the towers. “As far as I’m concerned, anything we can do to reduce the amount of government regulation — which seems to be getting worse instead of better — is worth it,â€? he adds. “But the best feature is still the consistency.â€? “We’ve all seen how the tractor industry is moving toward CVT transmissions for inďŹ nitely variable speed, without the jerking that comes with powershift and gear range changes,â€? Rick concludes. “Why wouldn’t you want that with your irrigation system?â€? s
