Michlig Holdings erected this 2.3-million-bushel hoop building at its Sheffield facility to help accommodate the past two years’ worth of large corn yields.
Big crop prompts bigger storage structures BY LYLE GANTHER Shaw Media Bureau County farmers and area elevators have built additional bins or structures to help store large yields from 2017 and 2018 crops. Don King of Manlius, owner of Michlig Holdings, which operates
g rain storage facilities in Sheffield, Bradford, Mineral, Manlius, Deer Grove and Cambridge, said his company built a 2.3 million-bushel hoop building at its Sheffield facility this past year to store corn due to depressed farm prices, carryover from last year’s large crop, and this year’s large crop.
The building reached its capacity just one month after first accepting shipments of corn. “Grain storage is in very high demand, even with ethanol plants we are very fortunate to have nearby,” said Doug Ray of Ray Farm Management Services in Princeton. Ray said many local elevators have

added additional storage facilities in McNabb, Kasbeer, Ladd, Varna and Sublette, and “many of these elevators will be full. Because of the large crops, the harvest basis is very wide, so there is an excellent premium to store grain,” he said. He said many farmers have also built big grain storage units.

More than just potatoes popping up from peat Farm strikes Yukon gold in rich soil that’s been a part of the family business for generations BY CODY CUTTER Shaw Media MORRISON — Steve Baar’s grandparents didn’t have much when they emigrated to the United States from Holland in 1933. More than 85 years later, Baar and his wife, Gwen, do business with a variety of plants and vegetables using the same soil his family found along a bottom around Rock Creek near Fenton in Whiteside County. Potatoes remain the specialty at Baar & Sons Potato Farm, 12712 Fenton Road. Though the large sign leading to the driveway reads “Baar & Sons Potato Farm,� there’s more than just potatoes popping up from their peat. Different kinds of potatoes and a wide variety of vegetables can be found at the farm, owned by Steve’s parents and maintained by the third generation of Baars. “His grandfather came over on
the boat through Ellis Island with a rake or a shovel,� Gwen said. “They were broke, and started farming.� About 100 acres of property is set aside for corn, and 65 acres are for potatoes. “It’s potatoes, corn, beans, and 10 acres of garden,� Steve said. “It’s a pretty good-sized garden. It keeps us out of trouble.� The most common image of a potato is brown and oval-shaped, but there are more kinds of potatoes. The Baars raise red, white, Yukon gold and Russet potatoes — the latter the more-common brown-skinned variety — and raise more red potatoes than anything else. Yukon golds are a wetter and pastier potato with yellow, sweet flesh. Many stores like to carry the red potatoes because the others can turn green under fluorescent lights. They are the first potatoes to be grown and are usually ready by mid-August.

“The red potatoes are a wetter potato, and are great for potato salad,” Gwen said. “The whites ones are good for baking, mashing and frying. They’re a drier potato and they’re flakier. They’re along the lines of a russet. We sell a lot of russets for multi-purpose potatoes, because they’re big and (people) like the size.” None of the potatoes have to be transported on road to the barn; rather, wagons traverse the many strips of dirt roads to collect the produce. Potatoes are dumped from wagons to a rear room of the barn and go through a potato grader. After passing through a dirt eliminator, the potatoes go up and through a sizer, where any that are less than 2 inches get weeded out. They then go through a washer and through dryer rolls, and two workers grade them at the end of the line. Anything odd-shaped is a No. 2, according to Steve, and thrown into a different spot and bagged in 50-pound bags. The larger ones eventually get stacked onto 2,000- to 2,200pound totes. “If a potato sits dead on the ground, the skin toughens up,” Steve said. “We have a machine to make it a nice-looking product.”

• POTATO Continued from Page 3 Potatoes and cabbage were the original specialties, but Steve’s mother, Neva, expanded the farm to include a wide variety of vegetables. Asparagus, cauliflower, green onions, leaf lettuce, okra, peas, radishes, spinach, and tomatoes are among the common vegetables grown in the garden near the barn. The vegetables are Gwen’s specialty, and she likes them handpicked. In addition to the farm, Gwen has a table at a farmers market in the Quad Cities every Wednesday and Saturday. “I didn’t really want to do it,” recalled Gwen, who didn’t grow up on a farm. “We had a child and I needed another job, and I knew (Steve) wanted me to become a part of it. I ended up loving it.” Among the vegetables difficult to find fresh at many stores are lima beans and kohlrabi; Baar & Sons raises and sells both. “People like it,” Gwen said of the kohlrabi. “It’s a member of the cabbage family. Most people eat it raw.” The secret to the Baars’ success
lies in the soil — actually, it’s peat, which is light, spongy and can retain water better than regular soil. The area around the Baars’ farm was once part of a slough of the Mississippi River thousands of years ago when the river bed wound a few miles east of the current channel. Peat farms surround the Baars’ property on three sides. Upon entering the Baars’ property, a long driveway leads to a raised, at-grade Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway crossing. The peat, and most of the farm, lies east of the tracks, and the Baars have noticed a difference in the freshness of their produce depending on the type of ground. “The peat grows good crops,” Steve said. “Wet years, not quite so good; it can get back quick. It’s a high mineral soil. It’s good ground.” “Steve’s mom realized that the soil helped grow good root crops such as beets and carrots,” Gwen added, “Someone would say to her, ‘Can you raise my beans?’ and she started to do all these vegetables.” Baar & Sons Potato Farm is open from early May to late October, or until the produce runs out.

• FARM Continued from Page 4 The Baars have a staff of four employees when potatoes are not in season, and around 15 when they’re in season – most of whom are friends, neighbors, or other farmers. Machinery keeps the potato farm operating efficiently, but some signs of the farm’s past can still be found on the property. The orig-
inal barn sits to the left of the railroad crossing; half of it was razed recently. “It had one grader, and my husband’s grandmother would turn a crank on it all day so that it would roll to grade the potatoes,” Gwen said. “They were 100-pound bags, hand-sown with twine.” Times have changed, but the peat has not — and it’s kept Baar & Sons Potato Farm prospering and growing.

U OF I EXTENSION | FREEPORT
Industrial hemp production workshop offered FREEPORT — Corn and soybean producers are currently facing exceptionally tight margins and uncertainty in the market, creating the need for alternative crops and diversified cropping systems. As a result, Gov. Bruce Rauner signed into law Senate Bill 2298, the Industrial Hemp Act, which will allow Illinois farmers to grow, cultivate, and process industrial hemp, provided producers acquire a license through the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Industrial hemp fibers are quite versatile. They can be used for production of many materials including food, textiles, cosmetics and building materials.
While states in the Midwest have a history of growing industrial hemp, Illinois has not been involved in hemp production in some time. Now that hemp will be legal to produce in 2019, producers in Illinois have many questions about production practices, particularly given the lack of agronomic research done in recent years. In order to provide some answers and resources on this topic, University of Illinois Extension will host an Industrial Hemp Production Workshop, designed to inform producers about legislation, registration, best management practices and processing of this new crop. The Industrial Hemp Production
Workshop will take place at the Highland Community College Student Conference Center in Freeport from 9 a.m. to noon on March 12. The tentative program agenda includes the following topics and presenters: • Legislation and registration of industrial hemp in Illinois. • Taylor Shuck (Hemp Industries). • Molly Gleason (Illinois Stewardship Alliance). • Rob Daviess (Illinois Farmers Union). • Industrial Hemp Production and Processing: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly. • Steve Tomlins (Turtle Creek Gardens).
• Brian Parr (Legacy Hemp). In addition to the presentations, this event will allow producers to come together to begin developing the network that will be vital to the successful implementation of industrial hemp in Illinois. The cost of the program is $20 per person. Pre-registration is required by Friday, March 8. Registration can be completed online at go.illinois.edu/jsw or by calling the University of Illinois Extension at 815-235-4125. For more information, contact Phillip Alberti, Extension educator, commercial agriculture, at 815-2354125 or by email at palberti@illinois. edu.

The calculator provides farmers guidelines in applying nitrogen and helps farmers make key nutrient management decisions. Nafziger also is well known for his work in crop production research, focusing on a variety of areas, including effects of crop rotation; cropping sequence and practices as they affect crop yield and yield stability; nitrogen rates guidelines and on-farm corn nitrogen rate trials; weed management in corn and soybeans; and planting date and plant population effects on corn yield. In more than 35 years at the University of Illinois, Nafziger taught courses, and served as an agronomist and educator for the University of Illinois Extension. He also published research on nitrogen usage, the impact of varied planting dates on yield and overall plan development, and the impact of weeds on plant development and yields and has been a sought-after speaker for farmer
events and conferences. Nafziger received the Paul A. Funk Recognition Award, a top honor for University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) faculty. Nafziger holds ag ronomy de g rees from Ohio State University, Purdue University and the University of Illinois. Prior to joining the University of Illinois Emerson as a faculty member, Nafziger Nafziger spent four years in Bangladesh researching and introducing soybeans to Bangladeshi farmers. Nafziger and his wife, Cynthia, have two grown sons and three grandchildren; they are members of the First Mennonite Church of Champaign-Urbana. The IFB’s Distinguished Service Award honors the memory and service of Charles B. Shuman, a revered Moultrie County farm leader who served as president of both IFB and of the American Farm Bureau Federation.

BUREAU COUNTY FARM BUREAU
Nutrient Stewardship grant awarded locally Program’s aim is to reduce loss of nutrients from soil BLOOMINGTON — The Bureau County Farm Bureau is one of 30 Illinois county Farm Bureaus to be awarded grants under the Nutrient Stewardship Grant program. For the fourth consecutive year, Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) has awarded the grants — totaling nearly $400,000 in the last four years — to help promote local nutrient stewardship, soil health and water quality projects. “It’s encouraging to see new project ideas come forth and to see how projects are growing to meet farmer needs in local areas,” said Lyndsey Ramsey, associate director, Natural and Environmental Resources, IFB. “Our farmer members continue to lead the effort in reducing nutrient losses through inventive projects across the state.” This year’s grant projects include
USDA to measure nutrient management practices SPRINGFIELD — Farmers should expect a survey in the mail in early 2019, as the United States Department of Agriculture works to measure nutrient management practices. The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct a survey of Illinois farmers for the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council (NREC) in early 2019. The survey will measure a number of management practices, including use of cover crops, timing of fertilizer applications, and methods of determining nitrogen application rates. In addition, the survey will measure edge of field practices including wood chip bioreactors, constructed wetlands and saturated buffers. “We will mail more than 1,000 questionnaires to producers right after January 1, and I encourage everyone to respond using the postage-paid envelope that we provide,” said Mark Schleusener, the Illinois State Statistician for NASS. hosting field days to promote agricultural conservation practices, exploring the multiple benefits of Water And Sediment Control Basins (WASCoBs), conducting soil and water testing, installing a saturated buffer, and inviting experts to present to local farmers. Additionally, some counties will continue projects that were started in previous years, including completing soil tests on fields utilizing several types of cover crops to determine nitrogen levels in the soil and determining how soil types, cover

crop mixtures and other factors impact nitrogen utilization. At the Bureau County Far m Bureau, the grant will help to fund its Nutrient Stewardship of Northern Illinois Support Programs. These programs, which were also funded in 2016, 2017 and 2018, promote the “4 R’s,” encourage year-round weekly water sample tests and nutrient loss analysis, and also include a summer field day and seminar. Local partners are Ag View FS, Crop Production Services, Monsanto and John Deere.
Statewide, all projects will be conducted with the ultimate goal of achieving nutrient loss reduction under the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS). The NLRS, which was released by the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) in July 2015, calls for wastewater treatment plants, urban areas, and agricultural areas to reduce the state’s phosphorous load by 25 percent and its nitrate-nitrogen load by 15 percent by 2025. The eventual target is a 45 percent reduction in the loss of these nutrients to the Mississippi River. The Illinois Farm Bureau is a member of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a national organization of far mers and ranchers. Founded in 1916, IFB is a non-profit, membership organization directed by farmers who join through their county Farm Bureau. IFB has a total membership of 394,742 and a voting membership of 78,999. IFB represents three out of four Illinois farmers.

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
State farm program assisting military veterans SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) invites veterans and current active duty service members to take part in the Homegrown By Heroes program. This program is ideal for veterans who are interested in a second career in Illinois’ No. 1 industry, agriculture. The Homegrown By Heroes program allows Illinois farmers, ranchers, fishermen and producers who have served or are still serving in any branch of the U.S. military to use a special logo on the agricultural products they sell to the public. This special designation sets these farmers apart in the market, allowing these heroes’ products to be visible to consumers while giving them the chance to tell their story. Forty-two members are now enrolled in the Homegrown By
Heroes program, up from 28 in 2017. “There are great job opportunities in Illinois agriculture. If someone dreams of being a farmer, rancher or producer, we want to help fulfill those dreams,” Agriculture Director Raymond Poe said. “Several statewide organizations work together to provide a unique opportunity that assists veterans interested in pursuing a second career in agriculture,” Poe said. The Homegrown By Heroes program is free for our veterans. Participants must renew their certification annually at no cost. To be eligible for the program, the veteran must provide proof of service, a letter of support from their commanding officer or a designated representative, and maintain 50 percent or greater ownership in the business/ operation. For those who qualify, the Homegrown By Heroes Illinois Product logo can be used to identify and market their Illinois-grown and Illinois-made products on packaging, signage, websites, and social media, or wherever their items are being sold.
How to apply: Step 1: Register with the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC). Apply for FVC membership at www.farmvetco.org. Register with FVC Homegrown By Heroes at www.farmvetco.org/ homegrown-by-heroes. Step 2: Register with the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
