Salvageable Season? Unusual weather has taken toll on crops, but yields could still recover
By JAMES STITT
jstitt@lecenter.com
Weird weather patterns this spring and summer have taken their toll on some southern Minnesota crops, but farmers could still see more, and better yields. A wet and cold spring wreaked havoc on some farmers, forcing them to plant later in the season. But if the summer holds out, the crop may have a chance to recover. “If we have a long summer or fall,” that would be great,” said Christian Lilienthal, Nicollet County extension agriculture production systems educator. “That would compensate for the late spring.” In July, 20 Minnesota counties were named agricultural nat-
ural disaster areas, and farmers in those counties or adjacent to them can be eligible for federal assistance. One of the ways farmers can receive assistance is through the the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payment Program. To qualify, farmers in the designated counties must have a minimum of 10 percent production loss in a crop which accounts for at least 5 percent of the expected total farm revenue. The wet spring experienced in southern Minnesota prevented some farmers from being able to plant part of their crops. University of Minnesota extension agriculture production systems educator Diane DeWitte said that around 30 percent of the acreage in southeastern Minnesota could have gone unplanted.
Lilienthal said even though there may be less corn this year, there may be a higher yield. He said that timely weather during the pollination stage made it so some cobs may end up with more kernels. During a two-week period in July, there were cool conditions, which kept the silk from drying out and allowed more kernels to be developed. Local farmer Robert Goettl, of Le Center, said the crop yield this year could either be way above, or way below the average. Goettl estimates there could be anywhere between 100 and 200 bushels harvested per acre, the statewide predicted average was 166. “There could be a lot of variability in the harvest,” said Goetll.

FALL HARVEST
Salvageable: Though last stretch of season is important, crops are ‘suffering’ in late-summer heat, farmer says From Page 2 Goettl said that the late plant might not hurt if the weather for the rest of the year bodes well. But, he said, the hot 90 degree days in late August have hurt the crops. “The heat is really getting to them now. They are just suffering in the heat,” he said late last month. For the crops to really thrive this year, the late summer and early fall is very important. Farmers are hoping that the first frost is still a long way out, and are praying for rain.
“Moisture is going to make a big difference here on out,” said Goetll. Minnesota farmers are expected to harvest slightly smaller corn and soybean crops this fall than last year, in part because fields in some parts of the state have been hurt by too much spring rain, followed, by streak of cool temperatures. Still, the 1.4 billion bushels of corn that the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates Minnesota farmers should harvest would be the second largest crop in the state’s history. Soybeans should yield about 272 million bushels,
about an average crop. Nationwide, corn crop will be the largest ever at 13.8 billion bushels, according to the USDA estimate. The U.S. soybean harvest should be the third largest in history at about 3.3 billion bushels. As a result, there should be plenty of grain this fall, which would send the prices farmers receive for their crops lower.

CORN AND SOYBEAN USES Soybeans • Soybean oil is used in cooking and frying foods. Margarine is a product made from soybean oil. Salad dressings and mayonnaises are made with soybean oil. • Some foods are packed in soybean oil (tuna, sardines, etc.) Baked breads, crackers, cakes, cookies and pies usually have soybean oil in them. • Biodiesel fuel for diesel engines can be produced from soybean oil by a simple process called transesterification. This process removes the glycerine from the oil, leaving soy biodiesel. Soy biodiesel is cleaner burning than petroleumbased diesel oil. Its use reduces particulate emissions, and it is non-

Corn • Around 80 million acres of land are planted to corn, with the majority of the crop grown in the Heartland region. • Most of the crop is used as the main energy ingredient in livestock feed. • Corn is also processed into a multitude of food and industrial products including starch, sweeteners, corn oil, beverage and industrial alcohol, and fuel ethanol. • The United States is a major player in the world corn trade market, with approximately 20 percent of the corn crop exported to other countries.
Working in the field and with livestock, they learned at an early age what farming is all about. They continued their agricultural education through universities, classes and agricultural schools.
