SHIPPING SOLUTIONS Vilsack: Port initiative is important first step
T
By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press he new “pop-up” staging area at the Port of Oakland, Calif., is only the beginning of federal efforts to expedite container exports, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack says. Disruptions at West Coast ports have led to significant charges and high fees to U.S. agricultural exporters by ocean carriers. Perhaps the most painful change was the empty containers leaving ports for foreign markets, said Vilsack. Kelly Patrick Dugan/Port of Oakland “This got to the point where in Oakland there was a suspension of activity on the part The Port of Oakland, Calif., and USDA are partnering on a 25-acre “pop-up” site to of many of these carriers,” he said in a webinar expedite the loading of containers with agricultural products. on Monday. That’s why he and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg in December sent a letter to ocean carriers urging them to restore reciprocal treatment of exports and imports, including service, he said. See Initiative, Page A11
Administration takes multi-pronged approach to port disruptions
By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press The Biden administration’s Supply Chain Task Force has been “laser-focused” on agricultural exports since the disruptions began, John Porcari, ports envoy for the task force, said Jan. 31. The economics of containers is one reason for the disruption. Exporting an empty container from the U.S. is more valuable to ocean carriers than a container filled with agricultural products, he said.
Another reason is the record-setting volume of container traffic the pandemic brought to the U.S., he said during a webinar hosted by National Milk Producers Federation and U.S. Dairy Export Council. “That means an unprecedented shortage of chassis, containers, truckers and the entire ecosystem that serves freight,” he said. The third reason is lost ocean carrier service, he said. See Disruption, Page A9

In 1966, the Capital Press began running a series of sourdough recipes. They became wildly popular. This month we feature a basic sourdough starter and a couple of recipes. Next month we’ll explain how to start a traditional Alaskan sourdough pot.

Allow one cup of milk to stand uncovered in a small crock or jar at room temperature for 24 hours. Then add one cup flour, mix, and continue to keep uncovered at room temperature until bubbles begin to form (2 to 4 days). Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Each time after using some of your starter (never use it all up) replenish it by adding equal parts of milk and flour — usually ¼ to ½ cup each. Allow to stand at room temperature, uncovered, for several hours (6 to 8), cover and refrigerate. If your starter has not been used for over 10 days, half of the starter should be discarded and the rest replenished as above. The starter is best used frequently.

IT’S THE PITTS

I
’m a shop rat. Always have been. If I wasn’t working on my cattle or other FFA projects I was more than likely to be found in our shop. I was also a vocational student which meant in my last three years in high school I spent an hour every day in the school’s ag shop. This was in addition to two automotive classes I took and one woodworking class in junior high school. Nearly every piece of furniture in our house has either been refinished or reupholstered by me. I’ve worked on all our cars and trucks and consider myself a proficient welder. By watching You Tube videos and reading books I’ve taught myself blacksmithing, silver soldering, plastic molding, engraving, and how to use

The cowboy arts a milling machine, wood and metal lathe and a key making machine which I restored. I even took classes in jewelry making which helped me in making belt buckles and repairing old bits and spurs. For years I restored items for a very high end antique store. Having said that I hate the household arts. I don’t have the “thyme” for cooking and couldn’t stand working at Starbucks and doing the same old “grind” every day.

(Puns intended.) By far, the thing I enjoy the most is leatherworking and I’ve collected hundreds of leather working tools along the way. I taught myself and it was the second most difficult skill I’ve learned. (Engraving was the hardest.) It took me years before I was proud enough of my work to stamp my name on it. Now I’ve restored saddles for museums and leather bound French clock boxes that held $25,000 clocks. One of my miniature saddles brought $50,000 and a scrapbook I made was auctioned off for $18,000. But leatherworking does have its drawbacks. For example, one of my best friends bartered a swap with a well known leatherworker for a floral tooled belt and I was with him when he picked it up. It was antiqued, fully tooled,

the edges were smooth and it was a beautiful belt that I know took at least 10 hours hours to complete. But upon closer inspection my friend found where the leatherworker had sewn off the edge of the belt. It was a big boo-boo and I would have scrapped it and started over, as I’ve had to do many times. To make a long story short my friend refused the belt and the leatherworker, who was obviously embarrassed, made him a new one. That’s the thing with leatherworking... it’s just not that forgiving. In most other trades if you make a mistake you can back up and redo it, or do something cosmetically to hide your error. Not so with leatherworking. Years ago I made what I considered to be a beautiful leather tooled binder with ornate silver engraving on the cover. To give the leather

a nice patina I covered it with neatsfoot oil and set it outside in the sun for two days before applying the final finish. But when I went to retrieve the binder I was shocked to find that the neighbor’s dog had turned it into a chew toy. The worst example of a lot of time being completely wasted was experienced by a great saddle maker I know by the name of Ron Butler. He’s no relation to my Wyoming idol Don Butler who passed away a few years ago. Don was the best designer and tooler of leather I’ve ever seen. And Ron Butler might be in second place. He is that good. Ron had just completed hours of tooling on the fender of a saddle and it was gorgeous. After tooling it Ron and his lovely wife spent hours dyeing all the spaces between the flowers and the leaves which in itself is an art because it’s very easy to get the dye on the flowers, leaves and scrolls. Ron’s very young grandson seems to want to follow in Ron’s footsteps because he paid close attention to everything Ron did. The next morning Ron went to his shop only to discover that his grandson had taken his permanent markers and crayons and colored all the flowers and leaves every color of the rainbow on the finished fender. And he had definitely not stayed within the lines! I’m told Ron almost “dyed”.

Sourdough pancakes
Kitchen
Continued from Page A4
Sourdough pancakes
In baking your sourdough pancakes, be careful not to over cook them or they will become tough. Turn them as soon as the first bubbles start to break and they will be lighter than if you wait longer to turn them. Mix together: 1 ¼ cups unsifted flour 1 ½ tablespoons sugar ½ teaspoon salt 1 ¼ cups milk ½ cup starter Cover and let stand overnight. Then add: 1 egg 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in a small amount of water. Bake as you would regular pancakes. Makes about 12 medium pancakes.
Sourdough French Bread
Homemade bread is welcomed by and family, and this sourdough French bread is no exception. For the cook’s benefit, this recipe is easy, and in comparison with some bread recipes is not particularly time consuming. To shorten the rising time, a package of commercial yeast is added to the starter for the leavening agent. Bread which uses nothing but the starter for leavening takes much, much longer to rise. This recipe requires only a light kneading of the dough, and it can easily be done in the bowl you mix your ingredients in. This way you do not have a messy bread board to clean. To easily clean your hands after kneading, rub on a little cooking oil. This recipe makes two large loaves of bread. However, you might prefer to shape your dough into smaller individual rolls to be used for “poor boy” sandwiches. Dissolve: 1 package dry yeast in ¼ cup warm (not hot) water Combine: 4 cups unsifted flour 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons salt 1 cup water 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ¼ cup starter yeast mixture ½ cup milk Mix together, and knead lightly to blend ingredients. Place in greased bowl to rise to double in bulk (1 ½ to 2 hours). Turn out on a floured board. Divide dough in two. Shape loaves by rolling into oblongs (about 8 by 12 inches) and then rolling up tightly beginning with one wide side. Seal outside edge by pinching. Or, divide dough into 12 equal parts and shape as above into “poor boy” rolls. Place loaves on greased baking sheet. Let rise until double in size (1 to 1 ½ hours). Immediately before baking, make diagonal slashes across the top ¼ inch deep with scissors or a sharp knife. Brush top of loaves with water. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. If this dough seems quite soft, a little more flour can be added with good success. After being formed into the loaf, it rises quickly.

“They’re concentrating on fewer ports and the most lucrative service,” he said. The administration is finding ways to incentivize and streamline agricultural exports and working with ocean carriers to restore service, he said. In addition, there is unprecedented port funding in the infrastructure bill as well as the port action plan previously rolled out by the administration, he said. “We’ll have better data, state freight plans to support the kind of infrastructure projects that help us export and looking at exporting as a system of systems and making sure that every weak link in that system is worked on,” he said. Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., said everything the administration is doing is not going to solve the problem. “The problem is these

The Biden administration says it is working on ways to get ocean carriers to speed up ag exports. shippers, the ocean carriers, simply do not understand the word reciprocity. They don’t understand that this is a two-way street — in and out. And until they get that message, all the good things that you’re doing is simply not going to solve the problem,” he said. Economics are going to

them, Johnson said. “I think collectively this will give the FMC (Federal Maritime Commission) the tool that they need to make this system work better, to make it more efficient and effective,” he said. USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack talked about his agency’s just-announced partnership with the Port of Oakland to set up a 25-acre “pop-up” site to make it easier for agricultural companies to fill empty shipping containers with commodities. The goal is to expand that opportunity in other ports along the coast, he said. The port is just one part of a multi-pronged strategy to make sure service is there for U.S. agriculture, Porcari said. There are multiple previously announced pop-up sites in Georgia and more to come, he said. “So we’ll continue to build fluidity at the ports so that exports aren’t disadvantaged,” he said.

Continued from Page A1 “It is important to agriculture because in any given year 20% to 30% of what we grow and raise in this country is exported, and it absolutely impacts and affects the bottom line of agricultural producers,” he said. To help resolve the disruption, USDA and the Port of Oakland are partnering on a 25-acre “pop-up” site to ease the loading of empty containers with agricultural products. The site will also have a dedicated gate with the ability to pre-cool refrigerated shipping containers to reduce bottlenecks at the main entrance to the port. The goal is to get quicker pick-up of empty containers, provide access to containers, avoid port congestion, avoid surcharges and additional fees and hopefully see many of those empty containers filled with agricultural products, he said. USDA hopes to have the site operation as soon as early March, he said. “We’re excited about this, and we think it will service Asian markets. Seven out of the 10 top markets for American agriculture are Asian,” he said. It’s important because U.S. companies have established over many years “the ability to deliver safe, available, ample supply of American products in these Asian markets on a very predictable and reliable basis,” he said. Disruptions make it more difficult to maintain that reputation, and U.S. suppliers risk losing market share — which once lost is very difficult to get back, he said. The loss of ocean carrier service is particularly acute at the Port of Oakland, which lost service to the Far East and Southeast Asia, said John Porcari, ports envoy for the Biden administration’s Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force. The U.S. is the world’s largest agricultural exporter and had a record year in 2021. But California ports saw a 9%

drop in containerized agricultural exports between May and September, with a staggering 34% drop at the Port of Oakland, he said. Agricultural goods make up 60% of the loaded export containers at the Port of Oakland, and all of the port’s carriers dropped one or more of their Oakland services throughout 2021, said Robert Bernardo, director of communications for the port. Total import and export volume, which includes loaded and empty containers dropped 19% in December year over year, with loaded exports down 27% and loaded imports down 12.4%, he said. For all of 2021, loaded export containers of all goods declined 8.2% and loaded import containers increased 6%. While the port saw a jump in loaded import containers, 30% of its export containers were shipped empty in 2021, he said. Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., said the administration’s efforts aren’t going to solve the problem because carriers are going to keep doing what they’re doing until there’s a law that says they can’t. He questioned the amount of pressure the administration is putting on foreign carriers, pointing out the rate of empty containers returning to the western Pacific has gone from 40% to 70% — “not very effective work,” he said. USDA is not proposing the pop-up sight at Oakland is the only solution. But it’s an important first step, Vilsack said. “We are seeing some of the shippers coming back to the Port of Oakland by virtue of the letter that was sent by Secretary Buttigieg and myself,” Vilsack said. “I think there are now three significant ones that have returned to that port. So I think there is an opportunity there for partnership,” he said. USDA is also in conversations with the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach hoping they will see the opportunity as well, he said.

Agricultural Research Service
The buzz about natural products is not just for humans. United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS) researchers from the Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland, and collaborators found some natural products’ medicinal properties reduced virus levels and improved gut health in honey bees. Among the study’s results, which were recently published in Applied Sciences, researchers found a significant reduction in virus levels in bees fed raw cacao and hesperidin, a plant chemical commonly found in citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables. There were also lower levels of viruses in bees fed chrysin, curcumin and vanillin. Chrysin is a

ARS
A honey bee being inoculated with Nosema to determine bee infection rates and immune responses. ARS scientists and others have been working for years to try to solve the puzzling honey bee syndrome known as “colony collapse disorder.”

chemical found in honey and various plants such as passionflower and silver linden. Curcumin is a bright yellow chemical produced by plants and is known for giving turmeric its distinctive color. Vanillin is a chemical compound of the extract of a vanilla bean and major flavor component of vanilla. The results also showed that some natural products had positive impacts on bees’ gut health and immune response. For example, bees fed Vitamin E had significantly decreased levels of Gilliamella, a gut bacterium. In addition, there were also lower levels of Gilliamella in bees fed curcumin, vanillin and hesperidin. While Gilliamella can be beneficial for honey bees, too much of the gut bacterium can negatively impact their health. “Gilliamella is a common bacterium in honey bees―even healthy ones,” said Jay Evans, research entomologist for the Bee Research Laboratory. A gut bacterial imbalance could be bad for bees. If
Gilliamella levels are high, then Gilliamella could take the place of other core bacteria. If bee diets or treatments help maintain a good mix of ‘good’ bacteria in bees’ guts, then this seems to help strengthen their immune responses, according to the study’s results. The 20 natural products used in the study included native extracts and individual compounds known to support immunity, have antiviral or antimicrobial properties, and/or control parasites and pests. Scientists researched these natural products as possible safer, cost-effective alternatives to antibiotics and synthetic chemicals. Understanding these natural products’ effects can also help scientists determine better crops and flowers for bees’ diets. “Many of the natural products tested are recognized as safe components of the food supply and are potentially less expensive to produce,” said Evans. “These results could also inform us on possible, healthier crops and flowers for bees. Bees foraging on crops or non-crop plantings of flowers that provide these benefits could naturally have better health.”

An Oregon ranch family’s legal battle over “grazing priority” is over now that the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to weigh in on the case. The nation’s highest court has let stand a ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that determined the Hanley family’s property near Jordan Valley automatically lost its priority access to nearby federal allotments upon losing its grazing permit. Grazing priorities or preferences put ranch properties at the top of the list to obtain permits for nearby grazing allotments owned by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Mike and Linda Hanley leased their 1,900-acre private ranch to their daughter and son-in-law, Martha and John Corrigan. However, the BLM refused to recognize the property’s grazing priority because the Hanleys’ grazing permit hadn’t been renewed. That decision foreclosed the Corrigans’ ability to graze cattle on 30,000 acres of public allotments in neighboring Idaho, rendering the ranch operation economically unfeasible. The Owyhee Cattlemen’s Association and the Idaho
Cattlemen’s Association argued the BLM’s decision “threatens to subvert the entire system of public land livestock grazing” by weakening the link between private ranchers and adjacent federal allotments. Grazing preferences also have financial ramifications, as having access to federal allotments substantial increases a ranch’s real estate value. The Hanleys and Corrigans took their case to federal court, claiming their due process rights were denied because the BLM has separate regulatory processes for canceling grazing priorities and grazing permits. Under the BLM’s theory, landowners could lose grazing preferences if they lease property to ranchers who lose their grazing permits, thereby getting punished for another party’s actions. However, the 9th Circuit upheld an earlier ruling last year that sided with the BLM’s position. “After a permit expires, a former permittee does not retain any preference to stand first in line for a future permit,” the 9th Circuit said. The Hanleys and Corrigans petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case but that request was denied on Jan. 24.

John Deere’s new driverless tractor What it means for Western U.S. farmers Courtesy John Deere
John Deere’s new fully autonomous tractor. The machine combines Deere’s 8R Tractor, TruSet™-enabled chisel plow, GPS guidance system, and new advanced technologies. The autonomous tractor will be available to farmers later this year.
By SIERRA DAWN McCLAIN Capital Press Moline, Ill. – In January, equipment manufacturing giant Deere & Co. announced the upcoming release of its fully autonomous diesel tractor — a piece of equipment which, like a self-driving Tesla car, can operate without a driver. The machine combines an 8R tractor, TruSet-enabled chisel plow and GPS guidance system. “All of us here at John Deere are incredibly excited,” said Chad Passman, a Deere spokesman. “We brought it to market because our customers were telling us that they were ready and that the value was there.” See Tractor, Page B6

John Deere’s new driverless tractor, to be released this fall.
Tractor
S273807-1
Continued from Page B4
S280966-1
Deere’s staff say farmers have been asking for a driverless tractor to save on labor expenses and time in the field. To use the autonomous tractor, a farmer must transport the machine to a field and configure it for autonomous operation. Then, the farmer is free to leave. The Capital Press talked to John Deere’s leadership about what this development means for farmers in the Western U.S. According to Joe Liefer, senior product manager for John Deere, the first model of this tractor, to be released fall 2022, has already been pre-sold through rentals exclusively to large-scale Midwestern soybean growers who Deere worked with in trials last year. Meanwhile, the company will be working with farmers to test the equipment in other crops, including corn, cotton and wheat. Liefer said Deere plans to release more tractors and implements in 2023 and 2024. The company has not yet released pricing. Liefer said Deere aims to manufacture driverless tractors capable of navigating a variety of terrains and crop systems — potato and onion fields, vineyards, orchards and vegetable crops. “We’ve got aspirations to take this into all the production systems and different customer bases that John Deere serves,” said Liefer. Deere did not release the names of farmers partici-
pating in trials, but Liefer said the company will be talking to dealers to line up farmers to work with in the Western U.S. in 2022. The company is starting in large production systems; Deere’s 8R tractors, with models ranging from 230 to 410 horsepower, are big machines designed for big farms. But the technology is capable of planning small plots, for example a 10-acre field, and Liefer said he expects autonomous tractors will prove useful to part-time operators or small-scale farms. Some farmers, however, are skeptical because only John Deere mechanics — not farmers or third-party mechanics — are allowed to modify the new tractor’s software system. American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall advocates for the “right to repair.” In a statement last year, he said that “limiting who can work on a piece of machinery drives up costs and increases down-time.” Liefer, of Deere, said this shouldn’t be an issue because the imbedded software is the only part farmers aren’t permitted to modify. Farmers can repair the tractor itself, for which Deere provides manuals. “(John Deere) definitely support(s) farmers’ right to repair,” he said. The autonomous tractor also collects data, including video footage, while moving through a field. Growers can use this data to make farming decisions. Deere has access to the data but does not sell it or share it with third parties.

Crop prices competing with farm input inflation By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI Capital Press ATLANTA — Increased crop and livestock revenues surpassed rising farm expenses last year, but growers can’t count on a repeat in 2022. While strong crop prices and federal relief money kept farm profits healthy in 2021, inflation poses a credible threat in the coming year. “Even though we have high commodity prices, high input costs are going to weigh on that,” said John Newton, chief economist with the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee. Farmers earned about $117 billion in net income in 2021, the second-highest profit since the $124 billion they generated in 2013, he said at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention in Atlanta, Ga. However, crop prices are not guaranteed to out-
John Newton pace the inflation of fertilizer costs and other inputs during 2022, Newton said. “You don’t know what that crop’s going to be worth until you take it out of the ground,” he said Jan. 9. Last year, growers spent $388 billion on inputs, which was also the second-highest amount in history, Newton said. The hike in nitrogen prices and other expenses is foremost in farmers’ minds
in the upcoming growing season, and will likely affect planted acreage and fertilizer investment, he said. Crop prices have benefited from the surge in exports to China, which topped $30 billion last year, he said. “The question that remains is what happens now,” Newton said. “How strong will they continue to be?” Federal assistance is
another area of uncertainty. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the federal government to spend $34 billion to offset farm losses, Newton said. Federal aid for agriculture will likely be winding down but Congress is still expected to spend another $10 billion on coronavirus relief in 2022, he said. “We do expect that to continue,” Newton said. “We know there will be new disaster funding coming.” While the Biden administration’s “Build Back Better” legislation includes hefty spending on agriculture, it hasn’t won over the American Farm Bureau Federation. The organization is opposed to the bill, which also aims to invest in social and environmental programs, due to its cost and associated tax revisions that are intended to raise federal revenue.
The proposal includes about $90 billion for agricultural conservation programs, rivaling the $119 billion spent on such investments in the 2018 Farm Bill, Newton said. The problem is the spending hasn’t been vetted by agricultural committees in Congress, he said. Farmers should also be allowed to weigh in on the proposal. “They’re attempting to pass the equivalent of a farm bill without any stakeholder engagement,” Newton said. The bill currently appears to be stalled but elements of the agricultural plan may survive in a scaled-back future version, he said. Newton said he’d want such a proposal to be fully scrutinized by lawmakers of both parties as well as the farm industry. “We need to get back to bipartisanship,” he said. “We need to get back to working together.”

Immigration woes taking toll on U.S. economy By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press A labor shortage is causing hardships across the U.S. farm economy, and the administration and Congress need to pass comprehensive immigration reform to help alleviate the problems, panelists said during a virtual press conference. “This issue of immigration is important right now, especially with the labor shortages that we have that are causing, of course, shortages in products and services … especially now with the highest level of inflation in 40 years,” said Daniel Garza, president of the LIBRE Initiative. The major driver is 10 million unfilled jobs, including acute shortage of workers in the dairy sector. “So even though we have low unemployment numbers, it doesn’t tell the full story,” he said.

The U.S. lost 2 million new immigrant workers in 2020 alone due to pandemic slowdowns, and immigrants with work visas have been losing their jobs due to massive backlogs in the federal government’s renewal system, he said. “It’s caused these massive ripple effects across our economy, and it is impacting the everyday lives of Americans,” he said. The panelists spoke about the labor shortages in healthcare, construction, hospitality, high-tech industries, transportation and agriculture and the critical roles immigrants play in those sectors. The Jan. 26 event was organized by the National Immigration Forum and the LIBRE Initiative, which promotes free enterprise and opportunity for members of the Hispanic community. On the farming front, Rick Naerebout, CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association, said 90% of dairy farm workers in Idaho are foreign-born. “Because the dairy industry is a year-round employer, we don’t have access to the H-2A program or any other visa programs. … That speaks a lot to what the legal status is going to be of our average dairy farm worker,” he said. In 2012 — the last time Idaho dairy producers would have said their dairies were fully staffed — there were more than 8,000 employees. Today, there are less than 5,000. In addition, Idaho is milking 100,000 more cows than the 550,000 head it had in 2012, he said. “So we’re seeing our industry continue to grow but that workforce shrink,” he said. There are not enough workers to fill jobs, and some sort of immigration reform is needed to fill that, he said. “The end result is that’s causing small businesses to go out,” he said. Idaho went from 560 dairy farm families in 2012 to 400 today, he said. “So we’ve lost a number of small businesses, and labor shortages is one of

those pressure points that caused that,” he said. Idaho dairy producers would look to the Farm Workforce Modernization Act as a reasonable, biparti-
san solution to the problem, he said. The bill provides temporary status for certified agricultural workers, their spouses and children and

How the West’s water markets are changing under pressure By SIERRA DAWN McCLAIN Capital Press Water has been traded in the Western U.S. for decades, but as the region faces intensifying regulations, shifts in crops and drought concerns, water markets are evolving to reflect the changes. “The idea of water moving between uses and large distances has changed over the last 30 years. In the last five years especially, there have been big changes,” said Matt Payne, principal Matt with WestWater Research, a Payne Boise-based economic consulting firm specializing in water market research, pricing and trading. Payne was speaking at the Land Investment Expo in Des Moines. A few trends stick out: Water markets are growing. Who’s participating in the market is shifting. Prices are volatile. And the agricultural sector is becoming a bigger buyer. There are three main types of water transactions, said Payne: the spot market, typically a one-year transfer from one See Water, Page B11

There are several commonly traded “asset classes” of water rights: surface water, groundwater, groundwater storage and recovery, storage water and “effluent” water, or treated wastewater. to 2018, Washington traded $65 million worth of water, Idaho $62 million and Oregon $58 million. That’s partly because California has a superior conveyance infrastructure, including the State Water Project that can deliver water more than 705 miles. Northwestern states also have bureaucratic policies
that make transfers difficult, according to April Snell, executive director of Oregon Water Resources Congress, a nonprofit. Who’s buying and selling? According to Waterlitix, financial investors represented just 1% of buyers and sellers between 2004 and 2008. Between 2014 and

2018, that jumped to 3% of buyers and 6% of sellers. Industrial companies and Tribes are also becoming bigger players in the market, and according to Payne, some cities anticipating growth have bought land with water rights. Agriculture, historically the biggest seller, is becoming a larger buyer, too. From

user to another; a multiyear transfer, or lease; and a permanent water rights transfer. There are several commonly traded “asset classes” of water rights: surface water, groundwater, groundwater storage and recovery, storage water and “effluent” water, or treated wastewater. According to Payne, surface water rights are the most commonly traded class, but there’s also “a market emerging for trading treated wastewater.” WaterWest Research has partnered with Nasdaq Inc., a financial services corporation, to publish a weekly index and develop a database — Waterlitix — with sale and lease information on more than 25,000 transactions. According to Waterlitix, the largest markets are in California, Colorado, Arizona and Texas. From 2009 to 2018, in California, the No. 1 water trading state, nearly $4 billion worth of water traded hands: by volume, it equaled nearly 12 million acre-feet. Water markets in the Northwest are significantly smaller. From 2009
2004 to 2009, 14% of buyers were in the agricultural sector; 2014 to 2018, it was 19%. Payne attributes this to more water-dependent permanent crops like almonds, new regulations including the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act coming and concerns over drought. “(Farmers have) been forced into the market to buy (or lease) water,” he said. The challenge is that it’s often difficult for farmers to predict spot market pricing because major fluctuations are common. In March 2020, for example, water was trading hands for about $200 per acre-foot. By June, it was at $700 per acre-foot. During 2021’s drought, spot water prices were $800 per acre-foot in the spring and hit $1,000 per acre-foot by summer. Across the West, consulting firms are popping up, offering data on the latest pricing trends. “We’re seeing the market start to mature,” said Payne.

So far, most of the breeds in GenOvis’s database are East Friesian, Lacaune and crosses. Over time, DSANA’s leaders say they hope to see more sheep and breeds added to the database for a fuller national dataset.
Dairy sheep farmers use genetic evaluation tool to improve production and profits By SIERRA DAWN McCLAIN Capital Press Across the U.S. and Canada, innovative sheep farmers are turning to a genetic evaluation tool, GenOvis, to make more educated breeding, selection and culling decisions. Farmers who use the tool say they have been able to improve flock genetics, production and profits. Milk traits have good heritability, so sheep farmers for generations have tracked animals through body scoring, measuring milk volume and mapping family lines to select the rams and ewes most likely to pass on good milk traits. This can be tedious, and it can also be difficult to distinguish
between visible characteristics, management impacts and underlying genes. “When you look at your animals, you can see physical traits and production, but you can’t see exactly what their genes are,” said Rebecca King, owner of Monkeyflower Ranch and Garden Variety Cheese in Royal Oaks, Calif., milking about 90 sheep annually. King was speaking at the Dairy Sheep Association of North America’s annual symposium. Now, using GenOvis, King said it’s faster and easier breed for better milk traits. See Sheep, Page B13

data on its flock’s production: yield, milk components, pedigrees, lambing data and other records. Three to five times a year, the farm sends samples to the Rocky Mountain Dairy Herd Improvement Association in Utah, which analyzes milk components and somatic cell counts.

February 2022 decisions. On King’s farm, for example, the data shows that one of King’s ewes, “Pennycress,” is in the 96th percentile of overall desired traits compared to average. The national average is based
on data from all producers in the GenOvis database. Per lactation, Pennycress produces 107 kilograms more milk, 4.97 kilograms more fat and 5.23 kilograms more protein than her peers.

King said GenOvis allows her to see an animal’s genetic potential even if the animal doesn’t appear top-quality. King has a ewe which, after suffering extreme mastitis, never produced a large volume. But through GenOvis, King found that the ewe had excellent genetics. “Her daughters are some of my highest-producing animals,” said King. The farmer said the data also helps her to confidently cull 20% to 30% of her lowest producers. Lynn Swanson, a sheep dairy farmer on Whidbey Island in Washington, said GenOvis has similarly helped her identify her best breeders. The past few years, through both imported genetics and GenOvis, Swanson’s farm has shifted to produce more milk with fewer ewes. In 2018, her 70 ewes produced 32,603 pounds. In 2021, just 58 ewes produced 48,300 pounds.
Volume is only half the story. Swanson said GenOvis has also helped her to improve milk quality, enabling her to select for ewes whose milk has the highest fat and protein content, solids used to make cheese. She now produces more cheese and yogurt with less milk. “It yields so much more curd, it’s crazy,” she said. From 2020 to 2021, she saw a 62.7% increase in sales. A third producer, Canadian farmer Tommy LaVoie, who milks about 240 sheep annually, said that although he sells only milk — not cheese or yogurt — he also sees value in component-tracking, because he can sell milk with a high percentage of solids to cheesemakers. “I think I’m in a decent position to sell my milk to a cheesemaker,” he said.

Signup underway for Conservation Reserve Program WASHINGTON — Agricultural producers and landowners can sign up for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), a cornerstone conservation program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and a key tool in the Biden-Harris Administration effort to address climate change and achieve other natural resource benefits. The General CRP signup will run to March 11, and the Grassland CRP signup will run from April 4 to May 13. “We highly encourage farmers, ranchers and private landowners to consider the enrollment options available through CRP,” said Zach Ducheneaux, Administrator of USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA). “Last year, we rolled out a better, bolder program, and we highly encourage you to consider its higher payment rates and other incentives. CRP is another way that we’re putting producers and landowners at the center of climate-smart solutions that generate revenue and benefit our planet.” Producers and landowners enrolled 4.6 million acres into CRP signups in 2021, including 2.5 million acres in the largest Grassland CRP signup in history. There are currently 22.1 million acres enrolled, and FSA is aiming to reach the 25.5-million-acre cap statutorily set for fiscal year 2022.
CRP signups
General CRP helps producers and landowners establish longterm, resource-conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees, to control soil erosion, improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat
on cropland. Meanwhile, Grassland CRP is a working lands program, helping landowners and operators protect grassland, including rangeland and pastureland and certain other lands, while maintaining the areas as working grazing lands. Protecting grasslands contributes positively to the economy of many regions, provides biodiversity of plant and animal populations and provides important carbon sequestration benefits to deliver lasting climate outcomes. Alongside these programs, producers and landowners can enroll acres in Continuous CRP under the ongoing sign up, which includes projects available through the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE).
Climate benefits
Last year, FSA enacted a Climate-Smart Practice Incentive for CRP General and Continuous signups, to better target CRP on addressing climate change. This incentive aims to increase carbon sequestration and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CRP’s climate-smart practices include establishment of trees and permanent grasses, development of wildlife habitat and wetland restoration. The Climate-Smart Practice Incentive is annual, and the amount is based on the benefits of each practice type. Additionally, in order to better target the program toward climate outcomes, USDA invested $10 million last year in the CRP Monitoring, Assessment and Evalua-
tion (MAE) program to measure and monitor the soil carbon and climate resilience impacts of con-
servation practices over the life of new CRP contracts. This will enable the agency to further refine
the program and practices to provide producers tools for increased climate resilience.

Animal disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and technological emergencies threaten animal agricultural production in the United States. The potential impact on Washington’s economy from a disease outbreak in animal agriculture operations could be devastating. But a recent grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture could help WSDA be better prepared. Recently, the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program (NADPRP) awarded WSDA $194,366 to launch the Carcass Management Preparedness Train the Trainer program. Preparing for and responding to foreign animal diseases (FADs) are critical actions to safeguard the nation’s animal health, food system, public health, environment, and economy. WSDA is the lead state agency in responding to domestic animal disease See Carcass, Page C4

Carcass
Continued from Page C2 emergencies in Washington state. We work with federal, state, and local government agencies, educational institutions, industry organizations and animal producers to ensure adequate preparation. If euthanizing is required because of FAD, proper carcass management is a critical tool to contain an outbreak and maintain food security. In Washington state alone, thousands of large animals, mostly dairy and beef cows, died in the winter of 2019 because of extreme blizzard conditions, and many died in the summer of 2021 due to extreme heat conditions. While not a FAD outbreak, those two events highlighted several gaps in Washington state’s ability to respond to emergency carcass management needs in the event of a FAD: Lack of comprehensive emergency mortality management plans at livestock operations. There a limited availability of subject matter experts have who understand Washington’s incident command structure ,to provide technical assistance to livestock owners. WSDA will work in partnership with Washington State University (WSU) to develop the Carcass Management Preparedness Train the Trainer Programs for Animal Agriculture Sector Responders in the Northwest.” APHIS provided $7.6 million for 36 projects across the country that are focused on (1) developing vaccination plans for FAD outbreaks, (2) supporting animal movement decisions in an FAD outbreak, or (3) delivering outreach and education on animal disease preparedness and response topics to targeted audiences.
TRAINING WILL INCLUDE MULTI-DAY DEMONSTRATIONS ON MORTALITY MANAGEMENT, COMPOSTING, ABOVE GROUND BURIAL, AND THE USE OF GRINDING EQUIPMENT.
The WSDA and WSU training will include multi-day demonstrations on mortality management, composting, above ground burial, and the use of grinding equipment. The project is developing guidance documents, best management practices, and a training framework. Materials will be available on a centralized mortality management resource public webpage to help all livestock agricultural professionals. The target audience for the training, educational resources, and mapping tools include state and federal animal health officials, local emergency managers, veterinarians, extension agents, and other ag sector responders. Developing this cadre of subject matter experts will prepare Washington to respond and strengthen outreach and education on animal disease prevention, preparedness, and response. Officials are currently in the process of developing a training plan, including the dates, times and locations of the trainings, expected to roll out this spring. For more information on the program, contact interim state veterinarian Dr. Amber Itle or WSDA’s Emergency Management program manager Erin Coyle.

A new way to predict grazing cattle weight gain on rangelands Agricultural Research Service
WASHINGTON — USDA’s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) developed a unique approach to using satellite imagery to predict cattle weight gain on rangelands. By fusing multiple images over a period of time, scientists were able to monitor how forage quality changes over space and time in rangelands within the shortgrass steppe, and how this relates to the weight gain of free-ranging cattle throughout the summer grazing season. Managing the grazing season in rangelands can be challenging due to high variability in temperature and rainfall over time. From a manager’s perspective, it is essential to know when and where forage production and quality are changing to optimize free-range livestock weight gain and meet other environmental objectives. This is not just about chasing forage quantity (total amount of vegetation biomass); it is also about looking for the highest-quality forage throughout the season. “This study is probably the first-time high-quality datasets have been used to predict cattle weight gain directly from satellite imagery,” said Sean Kearney, Post Doc Research Associate in Fort Collins, CO. In the study published in Ecological Applications, scientists used the satellite images, along with field observations from 40 different pastures grazed over a period of 10 years, to predict the performance of cattle grazing in Eastern Colorado throughout the summer season. The study site, the Central Plains Experimen-
tal Range, is a Long-Term Agroecosystem Research (LTAR) network location. The cattle performance predictions – specifically, weight gain – were made from satellite-derived estimates of both forage quantity and quality. The satellite-based predictions of forage quality were a first for the region, and they proved to be especially important. Most notably, weight gain was affected by the timing of forage green-up and senescence (browning down). “We observed that in years when satellite images showed forage greening up earlier, before cattle began to graze, the quality of the diet declined more rapidly and cattle weight gain was lower, especially toward the end of the grazing season,” said Kearney. “In some years, plenty of biomass was still available late in the season, but a large portion of the high-quality forage was missed because it peaked (reached top quality) so early in the season. This resulted in cattle feeding on lower-quality grass, which reduced their performance.” With recent climate patterns of earlier spring green-up, higher temperatures and drier weather during the summer months, it is critical to determine the right time to start and stop grazing cattle, in order to match up grazing timing with high quality forage. “We knew forage quality mattered, but we didn’t know to what extent,” said Lauren Porensky, Research Ecologist. “Now we can estimate diet quality across space and time and have a better idea of what is causing changes in diet quality throughout the season.”

Readying wheat with climate resiliency Agricultural Research Service Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists are practicing “tough love” when it comes to preparing wheat for the climate challenges ahead. In growth-chamber experiments in Peoria, Illinois, they’re subjecting more than a dozen varieties of this important staple cereal crop to a one-two punch of stressors. The first comes from exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) levels of up to 1,000 parts per million—an atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas that’s projected for the turn of the century absent mitigation measures. The other stressor is infection by an insidious fungus known as Fusarium graminearum. The fungus, which thrives under warm, wet

toxins, rendering the grain unsafe for food or feed use. Martha Vaughan, a supervisory molecular biologist, and William Hay, a plant physiologist, at the ARS Mycotoxin Prevention and Applied Microbiology Research Unit in Peoria, are leading the experiments to evaluate the resilience of different wheat varieties to these stressors. Their aim is to preempt a worrisome metabolic response of Fusarium head blight resistant wheat
plants to high CO2 levels: namely, a build-up of starch and other carbohydrates that corresponds to a drop in grain protein and mineral levels—especially phosphorus, calcium, zinc, iron and copper, which are important to human health and wellbeing. Results from the experiments also suggest that the loss of these nutrients can raise the risk of mycotoxin contamination and threaten grain end-use quality, potentially delivering an economic hit to both wheat growers and millers. Initially, the scientists compared Alsen, a hard red spring wheat that carries two commonly used genetic sources of blight resistance, to Norm, a popular high-yielding but susceptible wheat variety. Alsen suffered a greater loss in grain nutritional content than Norm, resulting in increased mycotoxin production by certain Fusarium strains. In subsequent experiments, the researchers observed similar responses in an additional nine resistant and six susceptible varieties. For the researchers, such

results underscore a need for action on two key fronts. One is to systematically evaluate the high CO2 responses of U.S. wheat varieties that share the same genetic sources of resistance to blight—outbreaks of which are expected to worsen as global climate change conditions become more pronounced. The second course of action is to scrutinize existing collections of wheat germplasm or wild relatives of the cereal crop for traits that could be passed into affected varieties to bolster their climate-resiliency, preserving desired grain nutrient levels and blight resistance. The team also is studying how the fungus itself behaves in wheat plants exposed to high CO2 levels, observing that: The severity of blight and production of mycotoxins like deoxynivalenol depends on the fungal strain and wheat variety attacked. Besides protein and minerals, Alsen plants suffered a drop in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, which normally contribute to resistance to blight and other fungal diseases. Ultimately, the team’s findings will inform breeding efforts to shore up wheat’s climate resiliency and help guide growers to adopt crop management strategies that could offset wheat’s metabolic responses to high CO2 levels and, in turn, the likelihood of mycotoxin contamination. “We are currently working with a number of university wheat breeders to identify climate-resilient, Fusarium head blight-resistant lines in order to address this food safety and security issue,” said Hay, whose ARS collaborators include Vaughan, Susan McCormick, Milagros Hojilla-Evangelisa, Michael Bowman, Bob Dunn, Jennifer Teresi and Mark Berhow. The team published its findings in the journal Scientific Reports and is preparing a second paper on the work.

Farm bankruptcies down by about half from 2019
By CAROL RYAN DUMAS Capital Press
This year is off to a good start for agriculture, with growth in many sectors and improved farm financials that have allowed many farmers to recapitalize their operations, an economist says, but they and lenders will be keeping an eye on interest rates. There have also been far fewer bankruptcies in the past 12 months than in 2018 and 2019, said Jackson Takach, Farmer Mac chief economist and senior director of strategy, research and analytics. Farmer Mac is a secondary market for agricultural credit. In 2016, 2017 and 2018, there was a lot more profit compression and a lot more stress in working capital and balance sheets, he said during the latest “Dairy Download” podcast. “That was starting to build in farm financial stress. You can’t have five bad years of income,” he said. Most agriculture sectors went through kind of a grind during that period, and it started to work its way through the court system in bankruptcies. “And then 2020 hit. And I think a lot of lenders at first were fearing the worst,” he said. A lot of lenders thought the down cycle in agriculture combined with the pandemic’s demand disruptions were going to be devastating. But government support payments started and
a “pretty incredible” run in commodity prices in 2021 turned things around, he said. The number of farm bankruptcies in the past 12 months is about half what it was in 2019, he said. It was a “very positive story about recapitalizing U.S. agriculture, getting cash, getting working capital and getting profits in a much better spot for many producers,” he said. Delinquencies tend to be a leading indicator of financial stress on farms, and those are at about a six-year low, he said. Interest rates are the unknown, but any increase in rates won’t have an immediate impact on farm operating loans, he said. “A lot of times, farmers are fixing those at the front of the year, kind of like getting their finances lined up. They’re getting their lines set up, and maybe that’s good for a year,” he said. If the government raises interest rates this year, they’ll flow in at the renewal point. Producers should get through 2022 with very low interest rates because the Federal Reserve hasn’t raised them yet. Farm operating loans are still at 3% to 3.5%, which is a historic low, he said. Higher rates would come in at next year’s renewal season or trickle in through the year for those on a quarterly cycle, he said. “So it’s not like a whizbang overnight you’re going to see a huge increase
in your interest expense. But it is going to start to eat into farm profits into 2023 and probably a little beyond as rates normalize,” he said. The bright side is so many producers fixed interest rates for five to 30 years in fixed-rate loans for some items on their balance sheet, unlike the floating rate loans of the past. Higher interest rates will be felt in operating lines in the short term but probably not as much in other parts of the balance sheet, he said.

experts say. Unit sales of new tractors over 100 horsepower increased by 24% in 2021, while new four-wheeldrive tractors rose 18% and combines surged by nearly 25%, according to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. “Attitudes in the ag economy have been pretty positive,” said Curt Blades, AEM’s senior vice president of industry sectors and product leadership. The strong demand for farm machinery was partly a “timing issue,” as growers already had crops in the ground before the price of fertilizer and other inputs began soaring, said Michael Langemeier, an agricultural economics professor at Purdue University who tracks farm machinery. “It was the perfect rolling of the dice in terms of crop net income returns,” he said. The USDA forecast net farm income at about $117 billion in 2021, a 23% increase over the previous year. While expenses have since climbed, likely eating into farm profits, about 45% of growers in Purdue See Machinery, Page C9

University’s “ag economy barometer” survey said it was tough to find replacement machinery, Langemeier said. “Machinery sales would have been higher in 2021 if we hadn’t been going through these supply chain issues,” he said. Though farm input costs are “sharply on the rise,” machinery manufacturers are optimistic that growers will still want to buy new equipment in 2022, Blades said. “We’re still in a bit of a replacement market,” he said. “The fleet’s older than it’s been in a while.” Farmers still have “a lot of working capital” and “some unmet needs,” so 2022 could see a “lingering effect” of elevated demand for machinery, Langemeier said. According to USDA’s most recent estimate, the composite cost of farm machinery rose 16% year over year. Higher demand for tractors and combines, as well as manufacturers’ own climbing expenses, will probably exert upward pressure on machinery prices in the coming year, Langemeier said. “I don’t see how that can taper off in 2022,” he said. The cost of steel, labor and transportation — three major inputs for manufacturers — have all gotten higher with inflation, Blades said. “Without question, everything is going up,” he said. “It goes without saying prices will go up.” However, manufacturers recognize that farming is a relatively low-margin business, he said. “They’re not trying to take additional profits as much as cover their costs.”

Farmers still have a lot of working capital and some unmet needs, so 2022 could see a lingering effect of elevated demand for machinery, says Michael Langemeier, an agricultural economics professor at Purdue University who tracks farm machinery. Langemeier agreed that manufacturers can’t hike prices for tractors and combines too aggressively without destroying demand. They’re likely to aim for a sweet spot that will offset some of their rising expenses while minimizing damage to sales, he said. “They can’t pass all those costs on, but they can pass some of them on,” Langemeier said. Manufacturers are likewise wary of raising prices due to improvements in engine emissions and efficiency, Blade said. “It takes money to engineer a product to meet a growing number of regulations, he said. However, growers can expect that more advanced technology can help them save on fuel and other inputs, which is part of the equation, Blades said. “What we’re very cautious about is how much the market can bear,” he said.

ATLANTA — Farmers have a role to play in fighting climate change but they shouldn’t be coerced, according to USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack. Agriculture has the potential to profit from reducing carbon emissions through “climate smart” conservation practices, Vilsack said Jan. 10 during the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual convention in Atlanta, Ga. “We know it has to be voluntary and incentive-based,” he said. “It can’t be regulated.” The USDA is using the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, or EQIP, and the Conservation Stewardship Program, or CSP, to help farmers use methods such as cover crops to sequester carbon.

tools, he said. “I’m excited to get this technology in the hands of farmers.” Farmers collectively earned strong profits last year but that doesn’t reflect the experience of every grower, Vilsack said. Specific crops and regions may not fully gain from the industry’s successes, he said. “Income doesn’t necessarily go up in every part of the country.” To that end, USDA is deploying disaster relief dollars to help growers affected by wildfires and other problems, he said. Exports are crucial for the farm industry, which is why the federal government is focused on clearing up port congestion. For example, the government is creating incentives for ocean shippers to fill containers with Asianbound farm exports, he said. While farm goods typically rely on empty containers once filled with imported Asian products, current supply chain problems have changed that dynamic. Ocean carriers are now taking back more empty containers without waiting for them to be filled with U.S. farm goods, since they’re needed to bring products back to America. “We are working on the areas where we have control,” Vilsack said, referring to the container program and advocacy to extend port operating hours, among other efforts. Ensuring that ports and other transportation facilities work effectively is critical for agriculture but so is the enforcement of trade deals, he said. Exports to China, for example, have been strong under a phase one trade agreement but that doesn’t mean the U.S. will look past phytosanitary restrictions that needlessly restrict shipments, Vilsack said. “We are going to press China on the need for complete enforcement and complete implementation,” he said.

“Our rural communities continue to demonstrate an immense amount of resilience in the face of many challenges,” Hoffmann said, citing “rampant wildfires, decreasing water supplies, low-income housing shortages and a lack of access to affordable health care.” Hoffmann grew up on a family sheep ranch in Steamboat Springs, Colo., before attending Lewis & Clark College in Portland, where she earned a degree in English literature. Originally, Hoffmann said she envisioned becoming a college professor but quickly realized that life in academia was not for her. “I didn’t want to be writing papers my entire life,” she said. “My skillset is best (utilized) being out in the world, understanding complex problems and challenges.” Hoffmann briefly left Oregon to start working for an environmental nonprofit in Utah, but soon returned to join the re-election campaign for former Democratic Rep.

The board of directors of R-CALF USA has elected Region III director Brett Kenzy as the new president of the board and Region VII director Eric Nelson as the new vice president. Kenzy, whose region consists of North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska, operates Kenzy Backgrounding, a 3,000-head feedlot, and maintains a commercial cow herd in south-central South Dakota with his family. “R-CALF USA is the organization that fights for competition, transparency and honesty for independent livestock producers,” Kenzy said. “I believe that it is one of the very few organizations actively resisting the now global push for full vertical integration of our beef industry. Cooperation is a good thing; control is a different story,” he said. Region II Director and cow/calf rancher Gerald Schreiber from Woodrow, Colo., has served as president since 2015.
From there, Hoffmann became a contract lobbyist representing energyand natural resources-based organizations, including the Northwest Energy Efficiency Council, Renewable Northwest, Forest Capital Partners and several irrigation districts. Hoffmann was Kitzhaber’s energy adviser until he resigned in 2015. She remained as an adviser to Gov. Kate Brown for 10 months before joining the Farmers Conservation Alliance in Hood River as strategic operations manager. The Farmers Conservation Alliance represents more than half of all irrigated agriculture in Oregon, helping districts to write plans and obtain funding for modernization projects. For example, the Three Sisters Irrigation District in Central Oregon has finished piping 60 of 64 miles of

R-CALF USA has elected new officers.
Judy McCullough, a cow/ calf rancher from Moorcroft, Wyo., was elected to replace Schreiber as the new Region II director for Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Nelson, whose region consists of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, is a fourth-generation farmer/ feeder and rancher from Moville, Iowa. Along with his wife and family, he operates two feedlots, a cow/calf operation, raises crops and operates a commercial farm seed business in a three-county area. Nelson is also an individual plaintiff in the national class action antitrust lawsuit that R-CALF first filed against the four largest beef packers in 2019.
open canals that had previously lost as much as 50% of the water to seepage and evaporation. The district also built a small hydroelectric project within its water delivery system that has provided a new source of revenue. “With record-setting drought every year, water in the western U.S. is one of the top issues,” Hoffmann said. “Modernizing these systems is one of the best ways to increase agricultural security, and to provide more water in-stream for fish and other aquatic species.” Hoffmann said her first objective with USDA Rural Development is to visit each area office, learn about local needs and figure out the best ways to leverage resources. “I really see my role as empowering people,” she said. “I’m going to spend a lot of time listening, and I’m going to spend a lot of time out in the field.”
