As summer vacations come to an end and fall harvest approaches, there are a few things to think about — namely U.S. propane inventories (especially Conway), production versus exports and crop drying demand. The Conway hub is 2 million barrels shy of Dan Pannier where we would like it to be at week 17 of the 26-week build period. To attain the five-year average number of 27.5 million barrels by the end of September, we need to average a build of 570,000 barrels per week, which could be a tall order. If BY DAN PANNIER

the Conway price premium stays intact, then we may see barrels get held up in the Midwest and allow us to reach our 27.5 million goal. Many are asking, “With all the shale production in the U.S. today, how do we not have enough propane?” This country has enough propane, but the price incentive to keep it here is lacking. One of the biggest markets for propane is the export market, and as most of you know, exports continue to increase. Looking at the last five years, the U.S. would typically export 3 to 4 million barrels per month. So far this year, we are averaging around 11 million barrels per month with May of this year being the biggest month on record at just under 14 million. With

the U.S. priced competitively in the global market along with continued export expansion projects, the question is — will exports grow faster than production or vice versa? For now, production is out-

pacing consumer demand, but we face several unknowns over the next few months. One of those is crop drying demand — always a topic for wide-ranging speculation. One thing we know for sure is

there seems to be a lot of corn out there with corn market prices lower than a year ago. As of Aug. 3, silking is at 96 percent in Illinois and at 93 percent in Iowa, which is about 10 percent above average and above last year, according to USDA. With this being said, it is my opinion that the next 30 to 45 days will determine propane demand for this fall. One final thought is that petrochemical demand for propane has fallen off. Although recent interest has picked up, it still remains well under last year and the fiveyear average. Dan Pannier serves as GROWMARK’s propane operations manager.

avoid a repeat of 2009 when harvest of large crops and winter wheat planting were delayed numerous times by wet conditions. Farmers also hope for good drying conditions to avoid additional crop drying charges and potentially long lines at elevators. So what do forecasters currently predict for the fall season? It seems to depend in part on whether or not El Nino takes shape in the Pacific Ocean.

temperatures. “That’s something to keep an eye on,� Russo said “If the pattern persists into fall, there is an increased chance of an early freeze.� An early freeze would end the growing season. And, at least in some areas, that could spell trouble as the development of crops lag behind due to late planting followed by cooler-

than-normal summer temperatures. “I think we’re looking at kind of a normal frost date in the central Corn Belt,� Anderson said. “But early frost concerns are prominent in the Northern Corn Belt (in states such as the Dakotas and Minnesota). There could be cold weather issues in the north (this harvest).�

State of the fields address: It’s been a very good year

Page C-3 Monday, August 25, 2014 FarmWeek

As I travel around the countryside and visit with growers and friends, everyone asks me, “how are crops looking everywhere else?� In years past I would tell them, “Well, there are the good, the bad and the ugly.� This year I am finding myself saying, “Well, there are the decent, the good and the awesome!� I believe anyone in a field during Todd Steinacher the last three to four weeks would agree with that statement regarding crop conditions of Illinois corn and beans. One major observation I find is that in fields where “nitrogen as a system� was practiced are experiencing less firing, greater kernel size and less tip back issues. This higher level of nitrogen management should prove to be a great return on investment come harvest

and a great way to minimize environmental impact. Corn: Most cornfields at this time have successfully made it through pollination without any major stresses. Some fields are at R3 (milk stage) and quickly approaching R4 (dough stage). Once a corn plant enters R4, the potential for kernel abortion is reduced. However, stress during this time can cause issues with kernel size and test weight. Major stress at this point can be contributed to lack of nitrogen, which can be observed by excessive firing of lower leaves as well as disease pressure that has caused a plant to become unhealthy. I have been in several fields recently that showed heavy pressures of gray leaf spot, rust and even some northern corn leaf blight. During the reproductive phases, it is still very important for the corn plant to be able to absorb as much sunlight as it can to help keep the factory running, and

produce as many kernels as possible that are at full weight. However, excessive leaf disease damage can cause

less light interception, causing the factory to run under less than optimum conditions. Compounding stresses can reduce the amount of time allowed for each growth stage, which could impact top end yield. Keep in mind a heavy ear of corn on a weak foundation can cause several issues when it comes time to harvest. Beans: At this time, most fields are rapidly approaching R4, which is when pods elongate to about an inch in the upper four nodes of the canopy. Thus far,

feeding. Several bean fields were treated during the last few weeks with a fungicide and insecticide application to help preserve top end yield. Regardless if you made or did not make a proactive fungicide and insecticide treatment, growers should be proactive in scouting their fields for disease pressure and the amount of insect feeding on leaves, and more importantly, the pods.

Several late-season insects will start to feed on pods by either chewing directly into the pods or sucking the juices from inside the pods. Either way, yield has been compromised. Moving forward, it’s going to be very important to maximize our sunlight and reduce insect feeding on pods. By being proactive heading into harvest season, growers can have a better handle on potential yields as well as potential hang-ups, such as stalk quality, grain moisture and insect damage. This will not only help growers manage harvest, but it will also help them to understand the story the field has to tell, and assist them in making better decisions in the future.

of the allowable storage time for the corn has been used even for its target dried condition. The allowable storage time for 16 percent moisture corn at 60 degrees F is 151 days, but due to the three-day wet storage, that is reduced by 50 percent to 75 days before grade deterioration begins. A complete table of these values can easily be found on the Internet by searching “allowable wet corn storage chart.� Many new grain dryers — whether an in-bin system, portable dryer or tower dryer — have moisture indicators and software that will manage the dryer unload rate to achieve a moisture level the operator sets. It is important to check the moisture readings on your dryer with another moisture indicator and ensure it is calibrated. Also check moisture indicator parts for beeswings or other material that may block an accurate reading. If the dryer does not have a cooling section, proper bin cooling procedures must be put in practice. With the high demand for storage space, long-

term storage management needs to be considered during harvest. If your grain is going directly to an elevator from the farm system, you may tolerate a little higher moisture or discharge temperature than if it is going into your own bins. Consider your marketing plan and the longest period you may find yourself holding the grain. If that time frame is into next summer, the initial moisture level going into storage and the equilibrium moisture of stored grain require close management. Based on the allowable storage time information, you may want to store grain at 15 percent moisture. As a grain

mass gets above 50 degrees F with relative humidity exceeding 70 percent, the grain will begin to re-wet. Again, charts of equilibrium moisture content are easily found on the Internet or the Extension Service. Corn is a living organism that wants to grow. Maintaining it in storage conditions that prevent moisture deterioration, mold growth and insect activity is highly manageable with the right information and tools.

Higher yields, better quality boost Illinois soybean profits

FarmWeek file photo

The Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) is dedicated to helping farmers be the most successful, sustainable and profitable in the country. We have set a goal of producing and using 600 million bushels of soybeans in Illinois by 2020. To meet this goal, we need to increase yields. ISA invests checkoff funds to help farmers produce higher yields, adapt better conservation practices and improve compositional quality — all important aspects of overall profitability. For example, our annual Yield Challenge competition enlists Sharon Covert farmers and agronomists to work together with new tools and techniques that can increase yields. Winning participants from the nine agricultural reporting districts see yield bumps between 5 and 10 bushels per acre or more. Beginning in 2012, we added a 100Bushel Challenge, which awards $5,000 to the Illinois farmer who gains the highest yield above 100 bushels per acre. Several of our participants are actively working to achieve that level this season. Pushing yield boundaries is important to help meet our goal of 600 million soybean bushels in Illinois by 2020. Farmers can still sign up for the 2014 Yield Challenge and 100-Bushel Challenge at {soyyieldchallenge.com}. The deadline is September 1. You also can read about Dan Arkels’ efforts to break 100 bushels on our soybean production blog at {ILSoyAdvisor.com}. Compositional quality is an important component of profitability. In my years of work with ISA and with the United Soybean Board, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many foreign buyers of our soybeans and soybean components. These buyers value our consistent and reliable supply, but time and time again, we hear concerns about the protein and oil levels we deliver. BY SHARON COVERT

As farmers, we grow for yield first. But beyond the elevator, buyers care much more about the protein and oil that processors use to create amino acid-rich meal, biodiesel and more. To help our farmers capture increased value from protein and oil components, ISA has been analyzing protein and oil levels throughout the state since 2012. We know geography, soil type, variety and weather affect overall protein and oil levels. These studies help provide baseline data to help make better decisions and capture more value at the farm level. Beginning this fall, ISA is expanding its soybean sampling project down to the county level. We ask soybean farmers from every county in Illinois to provide one or two samples from their fall harvest. ISA will pay to analyze protein and oil, and will report those findings back to farmers and industry. We believe this is a critical step to increasing the overall value we receive. It also is especially important as soybean prices continue to soften. To participate in the county-level survey, contact Pat Herron at Centrec Consulting, pherron@centrec.com, or 217-352-1190, or sign up at {ilsoy.org/composition/qualitysurvey}. Finally, I would note that ISA started meeting this summer with seed companies throughout the Midwest to help test protein and oil levels of their developmental varieties before they come to market. Ultimately, we think this will help farmers have an easier time finding varieties that produce both high yields and high quality valued by the marketplace. These seed company efforts are just beginning. ISA will make regular updates in our Illinois Field & Bean magazine, Farmer-Leader newsletter and in other publications such as FarmWeek. We encourage all Illinois soybean farmers to participate in these efforts to increase our success.

Sharon Covert is a Tiskilwa soybean farmer serving as ISA District 4 director.

How Does SumaGroulx Work? With SumaGroulx, SumaGrow Inside, you can expect to cut fertilizer cost at least 50% in the first year, up to 100% the second year, while enjoying 5%-35% yield increase. Conventional Method Without SumaGroulx

SumaGroulx can be used in four ways:

Increase Yield From

1. At planting time 2. As a foliar feed 3. As a means of breaking down residual material after harvest 4. Fall application strengthens the root system on alfalfa, winter wheat and grasses to avoid winter kill!

20% +

I came to use SumaGroulx very late, (mid-July) to see if I could improve my struggling hay crop. Our area of the state, Gratiot County, Mich., was struggling with VERY dry weather. I wanted to see if SumaGroulx could help us to get a better crop of hay. I applied SumaGroulx after the first cutting of hay and soon after got a 1 1/2� rain and I could see an immediate improvement in the color and growth rate of the crop. I will absolutely use SumaGroulx again and will use it much earlier in the spring to get the maximum benefit from it. JG, Triple G Farms Ithaca, Mich. September 2013

Why Dry?

SumaGroulx can be used for better water infiltration. Back in field sooner.

Benefits: • Increase Carbon Sequestation • Prevents Fertilization runoff • Reduces Soil Erosion • Converts Bound Soil Nutrients into Available Nutrients

Big South American soybean estimates already in the mix FarmWeek Page C-8 Monday, August 25, 2014

In the wake of new record crops in South America this past spring, and a record output by a large measure coming in the U.S. this year, the industry is already looking forward to another large crop in South Dale Durchholz America next spring, Brazil in particular. USDA started forecasting a 91 million metric ton (mmt) crop when it initiated new-crop world forecasts in May. USDA has maintained that forecast since. At the end of July, SAFRAS & Mercado, a long-term South American consultant forecast an even larger crop — an eyepopping 94.45 mmt. The basis for the forecast is a 4 percent increase in plantings to 31.2 million hectares. A hectare equals 2.47 acres. The production forecast is based on the yield reaching 3 tons per hectare, 5.5 percent above this year’s yield, but only 3 percent below the 2010-11 3.11-ton record. At the beginning of August, AgRural consultancy in Brazil followed up with a similar forecast. SAFRAS, along with others, is looking for soybean plantings BY DALE DURCHHOLZ

to gain at the expense of corn because of the ongoing price relationship strongly biased in the favor of soybeans. But a part of the soybean expansion in recent years has resulted from the profitability of planting a second crop of corn in the northern production areas, spreading the land cost to more than one crop. Acreage in the center-west area increased 44 percent during the last 10 years with most of that — 40 percent — in the last five years. That’s directly related to high corn prices and export demand. Given deteriorating corn economics and questionable second crop plantings, there’s reason to question whether soybean planting will grow significantly in the northern “double crop” areas. The issue is of one of economics of production, not the relative economics as those talking up the corn to soybean switch would have you think. New-crop soybean prices in Mato Grosso, one of the key northern states, were $16.50 to $17.50 per bag at the beginning of August. That’s equivalent to about $7.50 per bushel. The cost of production for the coming year is thought to be near $20 per bag, putting the cost of producing a crop above the price the market is offering at this writing. Most analysts are expecting prices to drop lower

into the U.S. harvest. That would suggest the economics are only going to get worse as Brazilian farmers start to plant their new crop. Still, the cost of growing a crop is not set in stone. Fertilizer costs were mostly locked in months ago. And to a great extent, the cost of seed and chemicals has already been taken care of, too. Producers are expected to plant more Intacta RRII soybeans this year, a technology allowing the soybean plant to ward off the attack of the Helicoverpa worm. Generally, it has been taking three chemical applications during the growing season to control the pest. While that may eliminate spraying, the cost of the technology

typically offsets most of that benefit. Producers could also reduce the level of inputs to cut cost, but that becomes a potential drag on productivity. And we haven’t even discussed weather and its potential impact. The El Nino is slow to develop. There is a tendency for conditions to generally be drier in the north/northeastern areas when an El Nino is under way. But at this writing, the situation is still highly uncertain. How the situation in Argentina unfolds over the next few months could have implications on its producers, and their crops next spring as well. The government has defaulted on its debt for the second time in 13 years and the eighth time in its history. Most believe the default will

lead to higher inflation and further deterioration in their currency, the peso. Resulting increases in input costs could reduce input application rates, and maybe acreage as well, both potentially undermining crop outputs in the coming year. As it looks, there are a number of hurdles for South American crops to cross this year. While output could be as big as current expectations, present circumstances imply there’s going to be a lot of uncertainty about the potential output until the crops are closer to harvest. Even with our big crop, any indication of smaller potential South American supplies could bolster demand and prices even though world supplies would still likely rise.

Profits shifting to ‘animal era’ Good days are here for animal agriculture, and they are likely to stay. Meat supplies are low, and feed prices are down sharply. If the last five years or so represented the “grain era,� the next five may be the “animal era� as profits shift from crops to animals. There are four reasons for current low meat supplies. First, high grain prices in recent years resulted in financial losses for animal producers and available supplies of Chris Hurt meats dropped. Second, drought conditions in the Southern Plains and more recently in the western U.S. have contributed to a reduced beef cow herd. Third, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDv) this year in hogs has trimmed the pork supply. And finally, genetic problems in the chicken breeding flock have kept the broiler industry from expanding as rapidly as it could have. The grain price outlook is for continued moderation of feed prices, especially soybean meal. More importantly, world inventories of corn and soybeans have recovered from dangerously low levels. This means that feed prices will likely move somewhat higher in 2015 to 2017, but may avoid the explosive upside experi$ enced when 729 grain stocks to were tight. $ 1249 Today, meat producers have a strong profit incentive to expand. Hog and cattle prices have been at record Manufactured levels along for all combines with record and all hopper profit margins.

some continued loss of baby pigs due to PEDv, pork supplies should begin to increase by the spring of 2015. Genetic problems with the chicken breeding flock are likely to delay expansion until the spring of 2015 as well. Continued expansion of pork and chicken supplies is expected in the last half of 2015 and in 2016. The expansion of beef heifers is likely under way. However, parts of the Southern Plains have ongoing drought along with the western U.S. Most areas of the country have seen many beef cow producers leave the industry. Some converted to cash grain production. It will take a sustained period of profits to bring some of these farms back to beef cows. These reasons likely mean the national beef cow expansion will be slow. This one could be six to eight years. If so, that means peak beef supplies might not occur until after 2020 with strong profitability for most of the remaining years of this decade. Why will animal agriculture be favorable for the next several years? This is a new era of overall lower feed prices. This will allow animal expansion and eventually reduce consumer meat prices. Our consumers will eat more meat at lower prices. Total meat consumption per person in the U.S. fell from 219 pounds in 2007 to only 198 pounds this year. Will we recover all of those lost pounds? It’s doubtful because corn is unlikely to return to $2 per bushel, but we may be able to recover back to 210 pounds in coming years. In addition to rising per capita consumption, U.S. population is growing about 1 percent per year, and foreign consumers are expected to want more U.S. meat products as well. Animals are going to be growth industries! These factors paint a picture of bright days and expansion for meat industries for multiple years. A new era of animal agriculture has arrived in which rural communities with a mixture of crop and animal agriculture are likely to see farm incomes hold up better than those communities with only crops.

Babadoost, Ph.D., U of I Extension pathologist, the 2014 growing season has had a few disease problems for specialty crop growers, but on the whole has been a fairly light year to date. Fire blight incidence is up compared to the last four years — a result of heavy storms following bloom. However, levels are nowhere near 2008-09. Following pockets of apple scab outbreak in 2013, Babadoost worked with orchardists to better eliminate overwintering inoculum, minimize spread of apple scab inoculum from crab apples to the orchard and use new,

effective fungicide chemistry to manage scab fungus resistance. Babadoost reports he’s seen no signs of apple scab in two orchards he has worked with closely. As a result, those growers are realizing increased yields and potential income. Switching to vegetable crops, Babadoost reports Septoria leaf blight and bacterial spot of tomato are severe wherever management measures have not been applied timely, but so far, tomatoes remain clean.

Time to add E15 pumps in Chicago

By the time most areas of Illinois see combines running this fall, the City Council of Chicago could be considering an ordinance that would provide motorists the option to choose E15 when they fill up in the city. Illinois Corn Growers Association is looking forward to the vote, which may come as early as the end of September. Back in July, the City Council ComGary Hudson mittee on Finance, led by a man some call the unofficial mayor of Chicago, Alderman Edward Burke, heard testimony on E15. The committee testimony came after Burke and his colleague, Alderman Anthony Beale, introduced the E15 ordinance. I testified at that hearing along with many other supporters of the ordinance and the standard lineup of petroleumfed, anti-ethanol detractors. It was a long day. The aldermen seem interested in cleaning up Chicago’s air. We know that without a doubt, ethanol burns cleaner than gasoline, easily cleaning up tailpipe emissions. In addition to air quality issues in general, you may be aware that much of the oil being refined near Chicago is even dirtier than other oil. A byproduct of the BY GARY HUDSON

refining called pet coke is piling up and blowing into the air and water. Residents don’t like it. Of course, Illinois corn farmers are excited to see the direction Chicago is moving. If the ordinance passes, we could be looking at an additional 200 E15 pumps or more in the state in a high-volume sales area. That’s a big deal. And as Chicago goes, the state is likely to go as well. We’ve been working on passing legislation in Springfield that would encourage the use of E15. If Chicago passes its ordinance, we’re hoping the move will add support for what we’re seeking at the state level. Chicago has a history of making tough decisions when it comes to gasoline. They were early adopters of unleaded gasoline. They later prohibited the use of MTBE in unleaded gasoline as an oxygenate, which threw open the market doors for ethanol to fill that void. This move to add E15 at pumps would be another landmark move in the progress toward cleaner motor fuels. Illinois Corn Growers Association will be right there on your behalf. Corn yields appear to be incredible. Corn prices? Not so much. That’s why every opportunity to increase demand for corn is important for Illinois corn to support. Gary Hudson serves as Illinois Corn Growers Association president. He raises corn, soybeans, alfalfa, peaches and cattle near Hindsboro in Douglas County.

Good: Trends indicate less harvested acreage FarmWeek Page C-16 Monday, August 25, 2014

The debate about the size of USDA’s final estimate of the 2014 U.S. average corn and soybean yields continues with the market apparently anticipating those estimates will exceed the August forecasts, particularly for corn. According to a University of Illinois agricultural economist, the size of the crops will also be influenced by the magnitude of harvested acreage. “The first acreage issue is the magnitude of planted acreage, and the second is the magnitude of harvested acreage,” said Darrel Good. “The current planted and harvested acreage forecasts are based on June USDA surveys adjusted for any new information revealed in the August crop production surveys. The August forecasts were unchanged from the June forecasts. History suggests that final acreage estimates will differ from current forecasts with the direction and magDarrel Good nitude of those changes being the issue.” Good explained that since 1996, when agricultural policy changed to accommodate more planting flexibility, the final estimate of corn planted acreage ranged from 2.014 million acres less to 750,000 acres more than the June forecast. The difference exceeded 1 million acres in only four of the 18 years from 1996 through 2013. The average difference was a decline of 432,000 acres. The final estimate was below the

Based on last year, the September estimates, and certainly the October estimates, will be very close to the final estimates. Second, the magnitude of prevented acreage that was already reflected in the NASS June acreage forecast is not known. From 1996 through 2013, the difference between planted acreage of corn and acreage harvested for grain averaged 7.464 million acres, in a range of 6.585 million (1996) to 9.78 million (2012). That difference has increased by a very modest amount over time as total corn acreage has increased and tends to vary by the nature of the growing season. “Based on USDA’s June surveys, the difference between planted and harvested acreage this year is forecast at 7.802 million acres — about equal to the trend value. The actual difference should be within a few thousand acres of the forecast,” he said. For soybeans, the difference between planted and harvested acreage averaged 1.095 million acres, in a range of 595,000 acres (2007) to 1.858 million acres (2000). The difference has trended lower over time. “Based on the USDA’s June surveys, the difference between planted and harvested acreage this year is forecast at 781,000 acres,” Good said. “That is nearly 200,000 acres less than the trend value for this year. Based on reports of more than the normal amount of acreage lost to flooding, the actual difference may be closer to trend value.”
