Drawing top talent to ag jobs By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHICAGO — Attracting employees from beyond traditional boundaries is important to grow food and agricultural companies. “I think as we go forward one of our biggest challenges is going to be expanding the scope of where we are looking for talent,” said Beth Fannin, Growmark Inc. senior manager of talent acquisition. “We know people with a food and agricultural background. While vital to the success of our indust r y, t here’s not enough of them for the opportunities we have,” Fannin Fannin said during the “Where’s the Workforce? Attracting Talent in a Changing Agri-Food Landscape” event organized by the Illinois AgriFood Alliance. “So, we have to look outside what we typically thought of who belongs in the food and agricultural sector to make sure we’re bringing in the top talent.” Fannin, who was born and raised in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, has lived in the Bloomington area for about the past 10 years. “I am a city girl in a more rural area working in the agricultural industry,” she said. “I manage the recruiting function for Growmark.” The agricultural and food industry needs to do a better job of promoting the opportunities that exist within the sector, Fannin said. “We do not talk enough about the opportunities we have within the tech space,” she said. When people think about working in the food and agricultural industry, they typically focus on farming. “They don’t think about all the other amazing things we’re doing and where their place might be,” Fannin said. In addition, those involved with agriculture should talk about the purpose of the industry. “Millennials want to work for a purpose, and they want to work where they feel like they’re making a difference,” Fannin said.

Harvest Brigade Vintage farm show draws huge crowds

“The streak of yearover-year declines in real farmland values was extended to five full years.”

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

RANTOUL, Ill. — Billed as the “largest vintage farm show,” the Half Century of Progress exceeded expectations when it was held Aug. 22-25 at the Rantoul National Aviation Center. Show co-chair Russell Buhr has been involved with the event since it was initially part of the Farm Progress Show in 2003 at Henning and then moved permanently two years later to the former Chanute Air Force Base where it is held biennially just prior to when the Farm Progress Show is in Decatur. “Everything went well. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger, and everything went very smoothly,” Buhr said. This year’s theme was the “Harvest Brigade,” and the airport’s 1,192 acres buzzed with farm equipment dating back to the early 20th century through the 1960s. A large contingent of vintage steam engines, tractors, wagons, combines and pickers harvested corn and soybeans on the grounds, tilled and shelled corn. The class of 1969 tractors and equipment also were highlighted during the show and led the Parade of Power on Saturday afternoon.

CHICAGO — There was minimal year-over-year or quarter-to-quarter movement in farmland values in the upper two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana, according to a Seventh Federal Reserve District survey. Overall “good” farmland values were unchanged from April 1 to July 1 and from July 1, 2018, to July 1, 2019, the quarterly report noted. The southeast portion of the Seventh District’s area in Illinois did see a 2% increase in value from the first to the second quarter of this year and a 1% increase compared to a year ago. Illinois’ northwest portion of the district was unchanged year-over-year on average, but had a 2% decline from the first quarter.

Once the corn was picked by vintage equipment at the Half Century of Progress Show, it was delivered to nearby classic shelling equipment to be processed for shipping. The corn was planted on the Rantoul airport grounds on May 16.

It took some manpower to get the horsepower cranked up on this 1913 Hart-Parr Model 60. This steam engine was part of about a dozen turnof-the-century tractors that gave plowing demonstrations during the Half See HARVEST, Page A4 Century of Progress.

On average, Iowa’s farmland values declined 2% compared to July 1, 2018, and increased 1% from April 1 to July 1. Farmland values for the district overall, that also includes all of Iowa and Michigan and most of Wisconsin, were down 1% in the second quarter of 2019 from a year earlier. However, values for “good” agricultural land in the district were unchanged from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2019. “After being adjusted for inflation with the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, district farmland values were down 2% in the second quarter of 2019 from the second quarter of 2018; the streak of year-over-year declines in real farmland values was extended to five full years,” said David Oppedahl, Federal Reser ve Bank of Chicago senor business economist. The district second-quarter summary also addressed farm conditions and expectations. See VALUES, Page A4

Documentary highlights organic farming pioneers Vetter family focuses on developing soil biology By Martha Blum AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill. — The 40-year journey of a Nebraska organic farm family is featured in the documentary, “Dreaming of a Vetter World.” The film, made by Bonnie Hawthorne, focuses on the pioneering organic farmers in Marquette, Nebraska, who started the conversion in the 1950s. Donald Vetter started the process, and it was continued by his son, David, who holds a bachelor’s degree in soil science and agronomy from the University of Nebraska. The family operation grows barley, corn, popcorn and soybeans. In addition, about one-third of the fields are kept in perennials that are grazed by their cattle herd. The rye, alfalfa, clover and turnip crops increase soil fertility and organic matter while controlling erosion and turning atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can utilize. The screening of the film was hosted by The Land Conservancy of McHenry County and the McHenry County College’s Agrarian Learning Center and Sustainability Center. “We care deeply about farmland, and about 60% of McHenry County is farmland,” said Linda Balek, land protection specialist for The Land Conservancy of McHenry County. “We’re here to support farmers, preserve farmland, spread the word about conservation practices that can be used on farmland and hold events like this.” Balek encouraged those at the event to support local farmers. “The best way to do that is to buy their products,” she said. The Agrarian Learning Center and Sustainability Center is a new initiative at the college that will include an associate degree, as well as community education for people who currently are farming and people new to farming. In addition, the college plans to establish a farm on the campus to teach people farming skills, and the program will include business training. Hawthorne answered the following questions after showing the movie. How much time did you spend with the Vetters to get this footage? I met David Vetter through his niece in the spring of 2014. I went to see what was going on, and that’s when I met his dad. I thought his dad was a hoot, so I went back that summer and spent the summer of 2014 camped at their farm. I went back the next summer in 2015 and a little bit in 2016, so total time was probably nine months. How did you get involved with making this documentary? I met Molly Vetter under unusual circumstances during a hike in

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

Build soil health to increase profits By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MT. PUL A SK I, Ill. — Growing consistent, high-yielding, profitable crops involves systems. “We started challenging the conventional ways of thinking years ago because a lot of the things we were told to do wasn’t working,” said Brad Hobrock, AgriBio Systems. “AgriBio Systems has systems as part of our name because everything we do revolves around a system.” The farming industry for years has based decisions on yield. “Yield is important because we have to have bushels to pay bills,” Hobrock said during a meeting held at the farm operated by Jeff Martin and his sons, Derek and Doug. “Nobody here wants to produce 300-plus bushel corn and 100-plus bushel soybeans more than the Martins, but if we lose money doing that, we haven’t done ourselves justice,” Hobrock said. The No. 1 priority for AgriBio Systems is increasing farm profit by building soil health. Derek Martin showed the group a couple of cornstalks from a field the farmers started using the AgriBio Systems program on five years ago. “These plants are from the field that we applied 50 units of 28% nitrogen behind the planter,” he said. “And it is yield checking at 234 bushels per acre.” This field, Martin said, probably is the most highly intensive managed acres on the farm. “Not only do we raise corn and soybeans, we also raise microorganisms — fungi and bacteria,” he said. FROM THE GROUND UP Soil has three components — chemical, physical and biological. The biology component is the living part of the soil, and for many years, farmers have tried to control this component with synthetic fertilizers, while ignoring the importance of biology. However, biology is the foundation for healthy, productive soil. “A biological regenerative system takes time,” Hobrock said. “We didn’t degrade soils in one year, and we’re not going to fix them in a single year either because it takes time to allow soils to get back to a functional process.” Farmers can be successful with a conventional system, Hobrock said, and many have done it for years. “But your success will always be dependent on weather and markets,” he said. Healthy plant growth requires a balance of bacteria and fungi. AgriBio has the ability to perform qualitative and quantitative microbial analysis of soil, as well as determine if they are beneficial or harmful. Soil that is healthy and functional will resist diseases, retain nutrients, provide plants with essential nutrients, reduce the need for fertilizers, decompose toxins, increase carbon storage capabilities and build stable aggregate structures. “You’re going to need to implement cover crops, and they need to be done in the right way,” Hobrock said. “But cover crops alone will not fix your problems.” The first step to implementing the AgriBio system, Hobrock said, is the willingness to make changes. “To put yourself in a position to have soil structure that gives you the opportunity to produce very high yields on very little applied, the first step is mindset,” he said. “But if you don’t have the right mindset to challenge conventional ways, you’re going to continue to be stuck in a rut.” MOTIVATING FACTORS Usi ng a n A g r i Bio product like BioMax or MycoPlex is not a silver bullet, Hobrock said, but

Soils that don’t accept moisture runs off, and if there isn’t stable aggregate structure to hold soils, there will be erosion. “So, we’re losing top soil

and boat loads of nutrients,” Hobrock said. “If we are not careful of how we manage things, the EPA is going to put restrictions on how and when you can apply fertilizers.” During the past three years, Hobrock said, farmers have produced 1 bushel of corn on one-half

ance in the form of exudates, sugars, proteins and carbohydrates, a corn plant can produce compounds to protect themselves against insects and diseases,” he said. For example, Hobrock said, plants with the right nutritional and hormonal balance, when they are

fed on by a pest such as corn rootworm, the plants will produce a compound and within 24 hours the insects feeding on it are dead — it’s called applied systemic resistance. “We did over 30 trials a year ago in corn that yielded from 240 to 300 bushels, and we did not see a single bushel response to fungicides,” he said. “If you have enough oxygen in your soil and the right beneficial microbes there, they will suppress disease-causing pathogens.” Soils that have been farmed conventionally for many years are quite degraded, Hobrock said. “The beneficials are not there, so this is where inoculants come in,” he said. “Our products mixed with cover crops will speed the process up.” Hobrock told the farmers they have a decision to make. “What we do is not for everybody because it requires work,” he said. “If we’re seeing the same bushels produced, but decreased input cost by $50 per acre, that’s still a win.” For more information about AgriBio Systems, go to: www.agribiosystems. com.

“They want to do work that is having an impact on something larger than themselves.” This is a story that the agricultural and food industry can sell, Fannin stressed. “I don’t think there’s a more awesome responsibility than feeding the world,” she said. “That’s an easy message to tell.” Fannin noted the need for more diversity in the industry. “Not only does that mean cultural, racial and gender diversity, but also diversity in perspective and thought,” she said. “If you’ve been working in a particular industry your entire career, you want to hire someone with a similar background and maybe the same educational background,” she said. “You’re not trying to sector out other perspectives or backgrounds, but it does happen unintentionally, so we need to be talking about what we can do to make our workforce more diverse and inclusive.” As a Chicago native, Fannin said she had not seen a stalk of corn until she moved to Bloomington and started working for an ag company. “I knew nothing, and I thought this was just a stop on my career trajectory,” she said. “I thought I’d work there for a few years while I got established in the community and until I found something else because I did not know about the vast opportunities and the awesome things we’re doing in the industry.”

Reporting bankers indicated that 69% of their borrowers were at least modestly affected by extreme weather events in the first half of 2019. Despite concerns about the effects on farming from adverse weather and trade disruptions, 83% of survey respondents expected district agricultural land values to be unchanged during the third quarter of 2019. Only 2% expected them to increase, while 15% expected them to decrease. Repayment rates for non-real-estate farm loans were lower in the second quarter of 2019 than a year earlier. The portion of the district’s agricultural loan portfolio reported as having “major” or “severe” repayment problems, at 6.2%, had not been higher in the second quarter of a year since 1999. In addition, renewals and extensions of non-real-estate farm loans in the district were up from a year ago. For the April through June period of 2019, the demand for non-real-estate farm loans was higher than a year earlier, but the availability of funds for lending by agricultural banks was lower. For the second quarter of 2019, the district’s average loanto-deposit ratio was 80.2%. Average nominal interest rates for agricultural real estate and operating loans moved down during the second quarter of 2019, while the average rate for feeder cattle loans edged up. “Muted expectations for farm income continued to be a factor in sliding real farmland values. A significant portion of Midwest farm income depends on the production of two primary crops: corn and soybeans,” Oppedahl said.

FRESH APPROACH About two years ago, Growmark focused on rebranding its careers. “We looked at all the imagery and types of messaging to make sure it wasn’t the typical, historic perspective of the ag sector and to freshen it up,” Fannin said. “We’re also trying to get our message out to more than just students in agriculture, and we’ve been trying to take the pulse of people who work in other industries,” she said. “We did some focus groups at a few universities with students outside of the agricultural sector to determine what their perspective is about agriculture and what they would like to know more about agriculture to make it more appealing to them.” Working for Growmark was not a conscious decision for Fannin. However, she found an opportunity at the company that sounded interesting to her. “I feel so blessed and lucky I ended up there, and that’s why I feel passionate about being open and inclusive to people with different backgrounds,” she said. “When I first started there, I felt a little isolated because I do not have an ag background and people were throwing around a lot of terms that I had no idea what they were talking about,” she said. “If someone is asking a question, they want to learn, so we have to be better about answering questions and being open to people with different backgrounds.” Martha Blum can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 117, or marthablum@agrinews-pubs. com.

County stalls wind farm plan VALMEYER, Ill. (AP) — A southern Illinois county repealed an ordinance that would enable the construction of wind farms, stalling a proposal to build 50 turbines along the Mississippi River. The Monroe County Board of Commissioners voted to suspend the Wind Energy Conversion Ordinance after residents voiced safety concerns about the longplanned Southern Illinois Wind project. They will take into account safety concerns expressed by local residents and members of the Monroe County Fair Wind Coalition, a citizens group that made a presentation at a Planning Commission meeting in April. The board will not accept applications for special use permits for about 18 months while commissioners revise the ordinance, board Chairman Robert Elmore said. The developer of the wind farm, Joe Koppeis, spent a decade planning the $220 million farm on the bluffs between Valmeyer and Fults about 30 miles south of St. Louis. But he didn’t apply for a special-use permit. Last year, he explained his concept at a County Board meeting with a standing-roomonly crowd. He wasn’t available for comment this past week, the Belleville News-Democrat reported.

There are five of them in the family, and they just came to see the show. They evidently have somebody to milk the cows when they go on vacation. There was a couple there from Fresno, California. It’s just crazy. “I talked to people that I know from Australia who have been here before. There were also people from England, Holland, New Zealand and there was probably more from

all of these countries.” There also were a lot of first-timers attending the show. “You have to go see it because you can’t describe it. You can say how good it is or how busy it is, but you still have to see it,” Buhr said. The show is run completely by volunteers, and Buhr and others were working on the grounds Monday to get it ready to return as an operational airport. “We’re loading everything up. The airport is going to open tonight, so we’re getting things moved around,” he said. Tom C. Doran

PLANTING DELAYS Because of unusual wetness, many farmers had to delay planting corn and soybeans this year, and a much higher share of fields than normal were not even planted in 2019. According to responding bankers, 45% of their agricultural borrowers were modestly affected by bad weather conditions in the first half of the year and another 24% were significantly affected. Borrowers in Illinois, Indiana and Michigan faced the worst of the weather-related repercussions. So, corn and soybean yields are expected to drop this year to well below their longterm trends. The expected loss of corn and soybean output was made even worse by spotty early summer precipitation. Based on U.S. Department of Agriculture data, district corn and soybean crop conditions in June and July were inferior compared with those of a year ago. “With lower yields expected across the Midwest, corn and soybean prices should adjust upward. Indeed, corn and soybean prices climbed 9.6% and 3.6%, respectively, in June from May. However, tariffs on agricultural exports are limiting how much these crop prices can increase,” Oppedahl said. “It seems unlikely that these prices will rise enough to compensate for lost output, so the profitability of many corn and soybean farms will almost surely fall from their 2018 levels — possibly by a lot for some.” Moreover, feed costs have risen enough to squeeze the profitability of livestock producers. Many of them were already facing prices for their products that were lower than a year ago, with milk prices being an exception. The USDA’s June index of prices received for livestock products was down 2% from a year earlier. In response to falling exports due to the tariffs, the USDA announced another iteration of the Market Facilitation Program, which could provide up to $16 billion in payments to farmers with eligible acres or livestock. SHORT-TERM STABILITY Even with crop output expected to fall, most survey respondents anticipated district farmland values would be stable in the short term, as 83% of responding bankers projected no change in farmland values for the third quarter of 2019 — 15% projected them to decrease, while only 2% projected them to increase. Survey respondents projected volumes of non-real-estate farm loans — notably, operating loans and loans guaranteed by the Farm Service Agency of the USDA — to increase in the third quarter of 2019 from year-earlier levels. However, they projected the volume of farm real estate loans to decrease. An Illinois banker reported that the uncertainty surrounding how much smaller this year’s harvest will be compared with last year’s — along with the associated price responses — “has everybody in wait-and-see mode.” Tom C.

Preparing for federal farm inspection no easy task By Karen Binder

announced. We work with you. For example, I tend call in advance to explain what my schedule looks like and if we work something out,” Klaman said. The results of an unofficial review will include recommendations for improvement and how those improvements are related to the food safety act. When it’s time for the official inspection, there’s a score sheet and points

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

COBDEN, Ill. — With the Food and Dr ug Administration starting required inspections this year on large food-producing farms, a couple of “large” farms volunteered for a trial inspection and allowed neighboring farm owners and managers to watch along. Defined as a large operat ion which ea r ns more than $500,000 a year, Flamm Orchards of Cobden was one of those volunteers. About a dozen others showed up on Aug. 29 to see how the process works. “We have brought in the FDA to help walk us through what inspections on the farm will look like moving forward and allow you to ask questions and really understand the process,” explained Raghela Scuzzvo, Illinois Specialty Growers Association executive director and an Illinois Farm Bureau local foods expert. With 22 years with the federal government alone, Theresa Klaman is an FDA inspector responsible for 12 states in the North Central Region, including Illinois and Indiana. She ran the trial run, which does indeed have an official governmentese name — a Farm Readiness Review. She did say she’s from the government and there to help: “I’m here to help explain the rules and regulations and actually help you understand how they should be applied to the farm.” Klaman was conversational, approachable and open to any questions. She pointed out that there’s plenty of local help in Illinois, too, through Universit y of Illinois Extension. Laurie George is a food safety specialist out of Mount Vernon, and she covers Southern Illinois, while her colleagues have territories throughout the state. Prompting the inspections are changes in federal food safety laws, especially in the Food Safety Modernization Act. State and federal government officials have been offering food safety training opportunities for large-, mediumand small-sized farm operations to earn certifications beginning in 2019. These rules and regulations apply to any produce farmer who sells fresh food to wholesalers, retailers, distributors and farmers markets. Here some key takeaways from Klaman’s visit at Flamm’s orchard: Recognize the importance of food safety training at all levels — “Flamm Orchards is going above and beyond many of the requirements of the produce safety requirements,” Klaman said. “They recognize the importance of training employees and giving them job specific training.” She cited a couple of extreme, but true examples of food producers whose procedures actually created health hazards — a produce grower whose staff would cut and bundle fresh kale and then throw the bundles into the ground where the cut ends were contaminated, or a berry producer whose freshly rinsed and sanitized blueberries were stored in an open barn with multitudes of roosting wild birds and nests in the rafters directly above the storage. Understanding water quality — While Klaman complimented Flamm’s for its water practices, she said not all producers understand that all water — ground, standing, rinse, water attracting wildlife — carry health risks which must be addressed. Regular water testing is a key element in proving water quality. Suggested improvements in the guidebook — Certainly, these rules and regulations are many and can be complex to follow. That’s why the FDA and Extension have produced many handouts, booklets, manuals and training opportunities to make adoption of food safety measures more understandable. A meaningful review — Any

By Erica Quinlan AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

I N DI A NA P OL IS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beekeeping is a great way for farmers to make money year-round. Unlike other commodities, honey stores well and lasts for years on the shelf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honeybees can represent a nice way to diversify a farming operation while also rendering pollinator services to your small farm,â&#x20AC;? said Ashley Adair, Purdue Extension educator in Montgomery County. Adair led a webinar on beekeeping sponsored by Purdue Women in Agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A n est imate f rom USDA was that there were about 8,000 colonies in Indiana in 2018,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That includes small- and large-scale beekeepers.â&#x20AC;? GETTING STARTED There are many reasons to consider beekeeping, including pollinator services, honey, market opportunities and enjoyment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a few things you need to do to get started,â&#x20AC;? Adair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of those is getting a hold of the necessary equipment. You can expect to spend around $500 for a prefabricated kit.â&#x20AC;? If you build one yourself you can spend less money, but a kit can be helpful when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting out, she said. CHECKLIST Q Hive with at least one brood box. This includes brood frames, honey frames, queen excluder, bottom board, hive stand and inner and outer covers. Hives should be placed facing away from the prevailing winds and away from foot traďŹ&#x192;c. Q Coveralls. Coveralls are meant to protect the wearer from bee stings and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hitchhikingâ&#x20AC;? bees. Usually, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re made from cotton and can be worn over regular clothing. Gloves are optional â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sometimes dexterity is

Smokers are used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;calmâ&#x20AC;? the hive. Smoke masks the pheromones that would ordinarily be released by the bees when the hive is disturbed. There are many designs available, but all smokers have a bellows and burner. Q Hive tool. A hive tool is a multi-purpose tool for working in the hive. It separates hive boxes from each other, pries frames apart and scrapes away beeswax and propolis. Q Paint. Light colors of paint are used to protect the wood and keep the hive cool in summer months. Lastly, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need bees to get your colony started. Bees can be purchased or captured in swarms. Swarms can be brushed into a box and transferred into a new hive.

SUPERIOR FARM DRAINAGE

Swarm season is in May in Indiana. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are two kinds of packaged bees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nucs and packages,â&#x20AC;? Adair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nucs are essentially small nucleus colonies with a queen and her brood. Packages are larger, made up of many unrelated worker bees and a cagedoďŹ&#x20AC; queen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The nuc includes bees that are related to each other. That means they have an increased chance for success,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their queen is well-established. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also already going to have some honey stores.â&#x20AC;? The disadvantages of nucs are that they tend to be expensive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; around $250. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also diďŹ&#x192;cult

INSIDE THE HIVE There are three types of bees in every hive: worker, drone and queen bees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The majority of the hive is made up of worker bees, which are all female,â&#x20AC;? Adair explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those worker bees do all of the tasks within the hive, the cleaning, cooking, foraging, scouting, guarding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all kinds of things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The drone is the only male found in the hive. Its only job is to reproduce with a queen. Drones donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mate with the queen inside that hive. During mating season, usually in the spring, drones ďŹ&#x201A;y out and seek out a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent queen.â&#x20AC;? The largest bee is the queen. Her primary job is to lay eggs for the colony. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think beekeeping is a really fascinating look into the behavior of insects,â&#x20AC;? Adair said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bee is a really advanced type of insect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They spend a lot of time together. They form colonies in which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together, day in and day out, to do all of the tasks you might see in a hive.â&#x20AC;?

Tours converge in Illinois Participants get the ag message By Karen Binder

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BELLEVILLE, Ill. — This is the time of year that Eckert’s in Belleville is seeing the first apples in its Galas and Honey Crisps come in and last peaches go out. It’s also that time of year when members of the current Illinois Agriculture Leadership Program class and the biennial Congressional Tour hosted by the St. Louis Agribusiness Club come through the St. Clair County orchard. These two groups converged at Eckert’s not only for tours, but also to hear Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert from nearby Randolph County talk about the current farm year. Guebert said there are many components that make U.S. agriculture work, including exports from “good” trade agreements, “reasonable” renewable fuels standards and livestock. While he said “all of these work together to allow farmers to make a living,” Guebert expressed sharp concerns over the lengthening trade war with China and the immediate and longer-term impacts of losing one the nation’s largest ag customers. Guebert also talked about climate change and the role that farmers have in effecting positive outcome. “Agriculture has not made for a very good participant that conversation. We’re going to have to be engaged and involved, because a lot of what is coming down the pipe is going to impact what we do and how we do things,” he said. Many components of current climate policy are matching up with Farm Bureau’s own goals, he added. “There are about five or four major areas that are really good and works well with our policy book,” he said. He added that the state government’s movement to better rural quality of life with infrastructure improvements is another area of welcome support, especially expansion of broadband. “I compliment the governor for this effort,” Guebert said. “It’s really important with all the technology that we have in our equipment today. We need to be connected whether you’re in rural Randolph County or in Springfield.” Compliments also were shared to state farmers working on reducing nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrient losses from runoff into the Mississippi River. With help from a surcharge on every fertilizer purchase, Guebert said, “farmers are contributing to our research and development of practices that are used to improve water quality. It’s a big deal. We need to do be a part of conservation efforts and sustainable plan programs.

Members of the current Illinois Agriculture Leadership Program class were all smiles for a tour of Eckert’s orchards in Belleville.

Congressional staffer Hanale Lee Loy is a native of Hilo, Hawaii, and works for U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii. He gladly helps himself to a gala apple, one the best-selling varieties at Eckert’s.

Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert shared an honest description of how challenging farming is in Illinois this season. He even shared his experience of having to use a boat to check his own farm property. It’s really important. As a farmer, you want to leave the land to your sons or daughters or grandchildren in better shape.” GOING GLOBAL Guebert’s message was familiar for many of the 30 participants in IALP. Program director Lee Strom said this is the 20th class since the program started in 1982. “It is all about leadership. Rich is an example of the kind of people who dedicate time away from the farm or away from their business for the purpose of furthering the agricultural sector further in America,” Strom said. The current class will be traveling to Israel and Kenya to gain better insights on global agricultural policy, trade and business dynamics and geopolitics. Likewise, the 30 or so congressional staff members hosted by the agribusiness club received an intense three-day immersion into Illinois and Missouri agriculture on their tour. Tour stops included the Mel Price Locks and Dam, Purina and the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, as well as Eckert’s. Larry Eckert, also an agribusiness club member, told his visitors that this year has posed its own challenges on his farm, including the rainy spring weather and particularly with the H2A program which allows Mexican mi-

Planter aimed at customers’ needs By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — Kinze Manufacturing unveiled its new 4700 planter that brings technological advancements to the narrow row market at the Farm Progress Show Aug. 2729. The new planter is available for the 2020 season in a 36-row, 20-inch configuration. “This is an all new frame design. There was good customer and dealer feedback that made us want to bring this planter into the marketplace,” said Eric Broadbent, Kinze North America director of sales. “We had a 36-row, 20-inch spacing planter which is this configuration in a 3700, but it didn’t have some of the features that customers were really looking for. It didn’t have the flex that it needed.” It s three - section f ra me provides 15 degrees of toolbar flex up and down for superior ground contact. The 4000 Series features a cast row unit that also brings 12 inches of travel, six inches up and six inches down, providing more flexibility with the terrain. “We put it in a frame design. It’s a forward fold and what this also brings w ith the design is a higher transport clearance. So, we’re actually 13 inches higher on the wing wheel in transport position than some of the competitors,” Broadbent said. “What that means is as customers or operators are approaching a railroad track or their pulling into their shop where there’s a steep incline, a decline and then a leveling off, you can get into that point of

From the Field with AgriGold: Breaking Soybean Yield Barriers with Greg McClure Illinois farmer Greg McClure grew up next to the founders of AgriGold® and his family has been planting their genetics for more than a half century. After years of being unsatisﬁed with soybean yields that reached a maximum of 72 bushels per acre (bpa), he decided it was time to push his crops to a higher level. In 2017, McClure and his son, Cameron, entered the Illinois Soybean Association’s Yield Challenge with beans that exceeded 100 bpa. Since then, they’ve placed in the top three dryland yields and won the irrigated soybean category for two years in a row with 110 bpa. So how does a grower break through yield barriers in such a massive way? McClure won’t divulge the recipe for his higher yields, but he does share strategies to help you create your own. Q: What were your key strategies for breaking through yield barriers? First, we started really paying attention to the details. We researched genetics, studied plant structures and developed relationships with mentors and experts who were taking their yields to the next level. Next, we upgraded our technology. Our planter has been upgraded each of the last three years, and we will focus on our spraying equipment this winter to better apply nutrients to our crops. We also tissue sample to anticipate stress and other issues to try to meet the needs of each plant.

Q: What genetics do you seek out to achieve higher yields? Every field and soil type on our farm is different so we try to find the best variety for each environment. Overall, we look for genetics that are shorter in stature in order to closely stack nodes with the propensity to flex or create laterals. They also must handle some stress and different disease pressures. Q: Do you use any digital tools to influence decisions? The past couple of years, we’ve used Climate Field View™ to accurately monitor GDUs in each field to better understand how heat affects crop growth stages and the impacts of rainfall. This summer, we had to make some tough choices about whether or not to plant corn and which maturities to consider. We used Advantage Acre’s® timeline feature, which helped us make decisions based on forecasts and facts, not guesswork. We plan to utilize it further in 2020. Q: What are your top three tips for others who want to pursue higher yields? Seek advice from those who have accomplished what you’re looking to do. Be willing to try new things on a small scale in environments where you can evaluate their impact on yields. Understand that only you can figure out what works for your farm and soil types.

YOU MAKE IT YOUR GOAL. WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE.

Eight-state program supports pollinators

Evergreens already are stressed from the summer extremes will turn brown and die in the spring if they can’t pull moisture from the soil to replace what is normally lost due to winter weather.

Deep water evergreens this fall Parts of Illinois have been included in the Drought Monitor Map compiled through University of Nebraska in partnership Martha Smith with USDA, National University Drought of Illinois Mitigation Extension Center and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Considering the high temperatures in June and July along with little rainfall, our landscape plants have suffered. We can’t change what Mother Nature has subjected us too, but we can look towards the

future and think of what we can do to help our plant material survive. A major concern is for evergreen material surviving the winter with very little soil moisture. Pine, spruce, fir, yew, juniper and arborvitae are already stressed from the summer extremes and are in real danger if they can’t pull moisture from the soil to replace what is normally lost due to winter weather. As a result, evergreens dry-up, turn brown in spring and die. During the winter dormant season, top growth ceases. However, roots are still active until soil temperatures drop below 35 degrees. Evergreen foliage is exposed to the elements all year. Winter winds pull out available moisture and the roots need to take up moisture to replace this loss.

When the growing season is dry followed by a cold, windy winter with very little snow fall, we can expect damage. The winds blow over the evergreen foliage and suck out any available moisture. In February and March, we often have warm spring-like days. It is at these times that the evergreens try to replace moisture they have lost. If the soil is dry, the plants suffer. In comparison, deciduous material such as maples and oaks lose very little moisture in the winter. When their leaves emerge, usually we are experiencing ample spring rain to allow for adequate water uptake. Be pro-active and deep water your evergreens this fall. Water as much of the root zone as possible. Don’t water at the

base of the trunk but water out near the drip line (the outside perimeter of foliage); more water-absorbing roots are in this area. Place a hose on a slow trickle and let the water soak in. Move the hose around the plant to ensure you are reaching as much of the root zone as possible. Also this winter, avoid using any de-icer materials along walkways or roads near evergreens. Salt-laden runoff can restrict water uptake.

TOPEK A, Ill. — University of Illinois Extension, FultonMason-Peoria-Tazewell Unit, Master Naturalists and Masters Gardeners have become involved in a partnership among the Illinois Department Natural Re s ou r ce s , Ma s on St at e Tree Nursery and Pollinator Partnership in an effort to enhance land across the Midwest to support pollinators.

“It is great to see such a good response to the seed collection workshop. I am looking forward to working with the master naturalists and master gardeners on Project Wingspan.” Dave Horvath, manager IDNR, MASON STATE NURSERY

The goal of Project Wingspan is to increase monarch and Rusty Patched Bumble Bee habitat in hopes of seeing an increase in their quickly declining populations. Dave Hor vath, manager, IDNR, Mason State Nursery, reached out to local Extension staff for support from master naturalists and master gardeners in promoting Pollinator Partnership’s Project Wingspan. “ Tea m i ng up w it h t he University of Illinois Extension master naturalists and master

Apple a Day program Sept. 11 BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – The program Apple a Day will be at 10 a.m. Sept. 11 at the Kankakee County Extension office, 1650 Commerce Drive, Bourbonnais. Many gardeners are interested in apple trees but are unaware of which species do well in Illinois. Consider the end use when making your selection. Some apples are best for cooking, others are great for apple cider and others do well for canning. The good news: All apples are great for snacks. Take the mystery out of growing fresh apples in your own back yard will be James Theuri, Extension small farms/ local foods educator; Drusilla Banks, Extension nutrition and wellness educator; and Holly Froning, master gardener coordinator.

Project Wingspan seeks to improve habitat for the monarch butterfly and othe pollinators gardeners will provide the project with individuals that have the knowledge, skills and abilities to help accomplish the task of improving habitat for the monarch butterfly, as well as all pollinators,” Horvath said. Project Wingspan is a twoyear project by the Pollinator Partnership, which is leading a coalition of partners, public land managers and private landowners. The project volunteers will be collecting seed throughout the states of Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri and Michigan. The Mason State Tree Nursery is a core partner and the seed collection center for the whole eight-state Project Wingspan program.

Trained volunteers throughout the Midwest hand-collect seeds and ship them to the nursery to be cleaned, planted and redistributed back to collected areas. Local master gardeners and master naturalists who regularly volunteer at Mason State Tree Nursery will be able to assist with the cleaning and planting tasks. In June, the Mason State Tree Nursery hosted a seed collection workshop to train local volunteers, public land managers and private landowners. The workshop aimed to train participants in seed collection methods and plant identification. Over 40 people were in attendance, including IDNR staff, Illinois Central College students and instructor, U of I Extension

staff and Extension master volunteers, as well as private landowners. “It is great to see such a good response to the seed collection workshop. I am looking forward to working with the master naturalists and master gardeners on Project Wingspan,” Horvath said. Newly appointed IDNR Director Colleen Callahan participated in a portion of the training at Mason State Tree Nursery. She was impressed by the turnout and stressed that partnerships like this are important in accomplishing IDNR conservation goals.

AUGUST n Activity will begin to slow down a bit. n Continue inspecting. n Watch out for robbers. Wasps and other bees may try to gain entry to your hive to steal honey. An entrance reducer can help.

SEPTEMBER n Harvest your honey, if there is any extra. n Make sure to leave 60 pounds of honey for the colony for overwintering. n If your hive is small, you may need less, but it’s always best to err on the side of caution.

OCTOBER n Activity is very slow. n Begin winterizing. n Install mouse guard on the

entrance, if there’s not already one in place. n Finish winter feedings of bee syrup. n Set up a windbreak, if needed.

NOVEMBER n Almost no bee activity. n Clean, repair and store equipment.

excess deterioration of the crop that may decrease harvestable yield and quality. Thus, there is a right time to harvest each field, but competing demands and weather play an important role in achieving the goal of harvest on a specific date. Taking a systematic approach to monitoring your fields during drydown and evaluating loss potential will help you to make the best possible decision in prioritizing fields for harvest.

Illinois sees slight drop in farmland prices

Rhizobia, soil-borne bacteria essential for creating the root nodules in soybeans that allow the plant to fix atmospheric nitrogen, use small RNA to silence soybean genes that would otherwise suppress nodule formation.

Nodules and nitrogen Increasing soybean yields out of thin air WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — Plant breeders could theoretically increase soybean crop yields if they could control the number of nodules on plant roots since they are responsible for fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Increased crop yield is key to feeding a global population expected to surpass 9 billion people by 2050. In the journal Science, Jianxin Ma, a professor in Purdue University’s Department of Agronomy, and colleagues report a potential method for increasing nodule formation based on discoveries tied to the RNA in rhizobia, soil-borne bacteria essential to root nodule formation. They describe how rhizobia hijack soybean genes that would otherwise suppress nodule formation. The findings offer scientists genetic targets for new soybean lines that could get even more of their necessary nitrogen from the atmosphere. “People tend to add fertilizer nitrogen to increase soybean yield, but that is not an economical

Ma has teins) is reduced or turned filed a provisional patent

for the genetic technology associated with the discovery. “For the first time, we’ve demonstrated the function of bacterial small RNAs in cross-kingdom communication,” Ma said. “This may spur new research toward the understanding of widespread symbiotic relationships such as that between bacteria and the human digestive system.” The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the Purdue AgSEED program, the North Central Soybean Research Program and Indiana Soybean Alliance supported this research. The work aligns with Purdue’s Giant Leaps celebration, acknowledging the university’s global advancements made in sustainability as part of Purdue’s 150th anniversary. This is one of the four themes of the yearlong celebration’s Ideas Festival, designed to showcase Purdue as an intellectual center solving real-world issues.

Hybrid corn varieties increase nitrogen use efficiency WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — During the past 70 years, hybrid corn varieties have increased both yield and nitrogen use efficiency at nearly the same pace, largely by preserving leaf function during grain filling. The Purdue University study’s findings offer strategies for corn breeders who want to continue to improve yields and nutrient efficiencies. Decades of genetic improvements in corn have led to a fourfold increase in grain yield since the 1930s, before hybrids were widely used. But those yields also required increases in nitrogen application, and loss of excess nitrogen can damage water and air quality as well as wildlife. Tony Vyn, the Corteva Agriscience Henr y A. Wallace Chair in Crop Sciences and a professor in Purdue’s Department of Agronomy, wanted to know how corn plants have historically utilized nitrogen — especially in reproductive growth — so that breeders can make informed decisions with future hybrids. He and his former doctoral student, Sarah Mueller, obtained seed and grew seven commercially important Pioneer hybrids, approximately one from each decade between 1946 and 2015. They were grown side by side under a range of nitrogen managements and analyzed at several stages of growth through maturity to understand nitrogen uptake and distribution throughout plant tissues. “There’s been a progres-

An early corn hybrid from 1958 (right) versus a more modern hybrid from 2015 (left). The modern crops retain leaf nitrogen longer, keeping leaves green for continued photosynthesis that allows plants to increase kernel number and size. sive improvement in nitrogen use efficiency in corn hybrids. That’s coming about as yields have increased while modern hybrids were able to capture more and more of the fertilizer nitrogen applied,” said Vyn, whose findings were published in the journal Scientific Reports. Over the last 70 years, genetic improvement s have led to an 89 percent increase in grain yields and a 73 percent increase in nitrogen use efficiency from early hybrids to today, the study finds. “There’s been a plateau in nitrogen fertilizer rates applied to corn in the U.S. since the 1980s,” Vyn said. “But we’re capturing more of the fertilizer we apply so that less is lost while more of the nitrogen captured by the plant is creating grain. In our case, we’ve documented progression from creating 42 pounds of grain per pound of nitro-

gen taken up in the plant to 65 pounds of grain. “That essentially means that we’ve not necessarily sacrificed the environment in realizing much higher yields now than we did 50 or 70 years ago.” Vyn’s team found that more modern hybrid corn kernels get much of their nitrogen from corn stems. That’s key, he said, because it’s important to keep as much nitrogen as possible in leaves so that plants can meet the assimilate requirements inherent in the increased corn kernel numbers and kernel size that are foundational in achieving higher grain yields. “Kernels are going to pull nitrogen from somewhere in the plant. Stems contribute almost nothing to photosynthesis, but keeping nitrogen concentrations in the leaves higher for more of the growing season allows for

more photosynthesis and improved yields,” Vyn said. He added that the findings offer breeders suggestions for how to continue to make improvements in yield and nitrogen use efficiency, focusing on the timing and movement of nitrogen through stems and into kernels. Corteva Agriscience, of which Pioneer Hybrid International is a part, donated seeds for the research, blindly analyzed tissue samples and provided funding to hire undergraduate student workers and for field and laboratory supply and equipment rental expenses. Sarah Mueller’s doctoral studies at Purdue were supported by a scholarship from the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. Vyn was funded through a U.S. Department of Agriculture Hatch grant.

DECATUR, Ill. — “Static” is likely the best way to describe what is happening with prices being paid for Illinois farmland when comparing sales activities from Jan. 1 through the end of July this year. Results of the annual mid-year snapshot survey conducted by the Illinois Society of Professional Far m Managers and Rural Appraisers members and those closely allied to the industry were released Aug. 28 at the Farm Progress Show. “We have seen a minute drop of 1% in the value of excellent productivity farmland to $10,497 per acre in the first half of the year,” said David Klein, vice president of First Mid Ag Services, Bloomington, and overall chair of the society’s land values and lease trends project. “There was no change in the price of good productivity farmland, and it is holding at $8,240. Average productivity land is stable at $6,081, and fair productivity land saw a 4.6% decrease in value to $4,898 per acre.” Productivity indexes are based on Bulletin 811 standards, where excellent quality farmland averages over 190 bushels of corn per acre with a soil productivity index of 133 or higher, good quality farmland averages between 170 and 190 bushels per acre with a soil productivity index of 117132, average quality farmland averages between 150 and 170 bushels per acre with a soil productivity index of 100-116 and no irrigation and fair quality farmland averages below 150 bushels per acre with a soil productivity index under 100. “The expectations are that land prices are either going to stay the same or decrease by less than 3% over the next six months,” Klein said. Two trends that have remained steady over the past few years are the types of sales — 63% are estates and 64% of the buyers were farmers. “Factors that could impact prices in a positive way are the obvious ones. Those being increases in commodity prices, any

changes in interest rates, domestic biofuel policy and the successful negotiation and implementation of new trade agreements with other countries. “ We’re all closely watching what happens with the trade situation with China, the need for passage of the United St ates -Mex ico - C a nada Agreement by Congress and the recent agreement by Japan to buy large amounts of U.S.-produced corn.” RENT TRENDS Cash rents for 2019 and 2020 are tracking along with the prices being paid for land in that there is little expected in terms of changes,” said Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois agricultural economist. Schnitkey said rental rates for excellent quality land averaged at $302 per acre for 2019 and is expected to be set at $298 per acre for 2020. Good productivity land is at $261 and is expected to fade very slightly to $254. Average quality land is at $212 and is expected to drop to $205, and fair quality land will adjust from $170 per acre to $167. Schnitkey said the factors that could impact rental rates positively will be higher corn prices — respondents expect 2019 prices to average $4.05 per bushel — which could come about with the possibility of trade resolutions with China. Negative factors will be higher production costs for 2020, as well as yields and soybean prices, also impacted by China’s demand for product with their outbreak of African swine fever. As with rental rates, the types of leases also are only slightly changed. “Share rents are currently at 26%, and that is expected to drop slightly in 2020 as we anticipate an upward tick in cash rent leases, currently at 33%, and variable cash leases, currently at 22%,” Schnitkey said. He said the survey revealed an average supplemental rent on a 50/50 crop share lease is $18 per acre.

Childhood obesity a public health problem September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, which provides a chance to learn more about this Monica Nyman serious health condition. St. Louis According to District Dairy the Centers for Disease Council Control and Prevention, obesity affects nearly 14 million children, with about 14% of 2- to 5-year-olds considered obese, and about 21% of 12- to 19-year-olds struggling with obesity. While there is no simple solution, there are many ways parents, communities, and health professionals can support children on the journey to good health. WHY IS THIS AN ISSUE? Childhood obesity is a public health problem for many reasons. Obese children are at higher risk for developing health conditions like asthma, sleep apnea, bone and joint problems, diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Children with obesity can be bullied and are more

likely to suffer from social isolation, depression, and lower self-esteem. Obese children also are more likely to become obese adults, leading to lifelong physical and mental health problems. Factors including eating and physical activity behaviors, genetics, metabolism, and family and home environment, along with community factors may be at play with this health issue. For some children and families, obesity may be influenced by too much time spent being inactive, lack of sleep, lack of places to go in the community for physical activity, easy access to inexpensive/high calorie foods and sugary beverages, and a lack of access to affordable healthy foods. HOW DOES DAIRY PLAY A ROLE? It is important to include dairy foods like milk, cheese and yogurt in the diet as they are packed with essential nutrients. Along with being good sources of protein, zinc and B vitamins, dairy foods are a main source of calcium, a mineral needed for strong bones. Dairy products are considered nutrient-rich foods, and their availability, variety and convenience make them ideal food choices for families looking to build healthy eating habits. Research affirms dairy’s place

Servings: Makes 5 (1/2 cup) servings INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon Chipotle pepper sauce 2 (8-ounce) containers low-fat plain yogurt ½ cup thick and chunky salsa 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded Assorted cut vegetables or pita chips PROCEDURE Combine all ingredients in medium bowl; mix until blended and refrigerate.

in the diet, and importance in growing healthy children. Studies indicate that children who drink milk are more likely to have a lower body mass than non-milk drinkers.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Parents, teachers and health professionals can help prevent obesity and support healthy growth in children in a variety of ways. Identifying what a healthy diet looks like, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and dairy foods, is the first step. Paying attention to a child’s growth over time can allow parents to address concerns as they emerge with their health professionals. Finally, being a role model with healthy eating and physical activity habits can be a powerful tool. Addressing obesity can start in the home, but community support calls for a group effort. Communities can ensure that neighborhoods have low-cost physical activity opportunities such as parks, trails, and recreation centers. Health experts can measure children’s weight and height routinely and connect families to nutrition education and healthy weight programs as needed. Schools and child-care centers can adopt practices that support consuming foods from all food groups, including dairy.

Add drained canned black beans if you like. Toss with a dressing made of one part apple-cider vinegar and one part olive oil, with fresh or dried basil and a little salt and pepper. Power Bean-and-Grain Salad: Combine drained canned beans with a pouch of precooked

grains, olive oil and any herbs and spices you like. You also can add chopped veggies and nuts, if available. Salmon or Tuna Stuffed Avocados: Combine chunks of canned salmon, tuna or smoked trout with chopped tomato and cucumber.

Cooperative activities for kids and families completely with a scarf or headband. The other person gives directions. Kids like to play this role. 2. Instruct the pizza maker to roll out the dough, then hand him the ingredients, beginning with the tomato sauce. 3.

I was in charge of taking meal tickets and handing out plates for an outdoor burger buďŹ&#x20AC;et lunch after a Family Fun Run event. Greeting all ages coming through the line, I was caught oďŹ&#x20AC; guard when two girls looked like â&#x20AC;&#x153;one,â&#x20AC;? from the waist up anyway. Full of kidlike chatter and smiles, the cousins said they were so cold after running, they grabbed an adultsize long-sleeve T-shirt from one of the moms, stretched it over their heads and shimmied into it. Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right hand came through the right sleeve, while Elouiseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left hand came through the other. Snug, warm and famished, they held a plate on each outstretched hand and tried to focus on serving each other burgers, buns, pickles, beans and fries. As they headed for a picnic table, they were giggling so hard, they soon became a crowd attraction trying to focus on walking in sync while balancing their heaping plates of food. Cooperation was the key. Engaging in simple family play, just for the fun of it, can happen

Since this is a cooperative eďŹ&#x20AC;ort, the person giving the instructions should guide the pizza maker verbally as he works. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the anchovies mixed up with the cheese! 4. Remove the eye covering before placing the pizza in the oven to see the creation. Enjoy doing this at a party and let teams

Lifestyle TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Sleeping on your left side may cause problems By Dr. Keith Roach

I am a man in my late 50s. I now am told to sleep on my right side and not my left side, because it’s better for the heart. However, my

sinuses seem to open up and it’s easier to breathe lying on my left side. What, if anything, will happen if I sleep on my left side? Can it damage the heart permanently or lead to an early death?

Most people can sleep in whatever position they ﬁnd comfortable without any problem. However, there are a few instances in which sleeping on the left side may potentially

cause problems. One is in people with untreated obstructive sleep apnea, in which several studies have shown that sleeping on the left side leads to slightly more breathing problems than sleeping on the right. However, in people who are treated, that should not be a problem. Pregnant women should sleep on the side. Although women have often been recommended to sleep on their left side, either side is ﬁne for the baby. Left-sided sleeping may reduce swelling in the feet. People with known severe congestive heart failure or coronary artery disease and who habitually sleep on the left side have a small increase in death compared with back or right-side sleepers. However, my opinion is that the beneﬁt is so small that comfort and quality of sleep is more important.

I have read that many runners drink too much water and that this can be dangerous. What are the signs of drinking too much? Exercise-associated hyponatremia — “hypo” means “too little” and “natremia” means “sodium in the blood” — is common for endurance athletes, such as long-distance triathletes and marathoners. It is caused by losing salt and water, mostly through sweat, and replacing it with only water. Most cases are mild and have few symptoms, but if there are symptoms, they are most commonly weakness, headache and dizziness. Severe cases cause disorientation and can lead to seizures and death. In a study of the Boston Marathon in 2002, 13% of ﬁnishers had hyponatremia, but only 1% had critical levels. To avoid hyponatremia, you need to ignore

Whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach, if you wake up feeling refreshed and pain-free, there’s probably no reason to break a habit that’s working for you. the advice to “drink as much as possible” during exercise. Further, most sports drinks do not have enough sodium to protect against hyponatremia. As simple as the advice is, drinking when you are thirsty when you exercise is the best way of preventing hyponatremia while still preventing volume depletion or dehydration. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters.Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@ med.cornell.edu. © 2019 North America Synd., Inc.

Livestock UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS RESEARCH

Calculating calcium in pig diets URBANA, Ill. — The amount of calcium in pig diets must be calculated precisely. Too much can decrease phosphorus digestibility and feed intake, leading to lower weight gain in pigs. Hans Stein, professor in the Department of Animal Sciences and the Division of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Illinois, and his graduate students have established the optimum ratio of calcium and phosphorus for most pig weight classes. In a recent Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology article, they complete the picture with a recommendation for 11to 22-kilogram pigs. “We determined that if phosphorus is provided at the required level of 0.33%, the optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus is 1.39:1 or 1.25:1 to maximize daily gain and gain-to-feed, respectively. To optimize bone ash, which is important for breeding sows, the ratio is 1.66:1,” Stein said. “This is in very good agreement with our previous data from other weight classes.” Stein’s research team, led by doctoral student Vanessa Lagos, formulated 20 corn-soybean meal-based diets, varying in calcium and phosphorus concentration, and fed them to 640 barrows — average weight 11 kilograms — over 21 days. Diets were formulated to contain 0.16%, 0.33%, 0.44%, or 0.5% standardized total tract digestible phosphorus and 0.14%,

Too much calcium can decrease phosphorus digestibility and feed intake, leading to lower weight gain in pigs. 0.29%, 0.44%, 0.59%, or 0.74% ST TD calcium. These values represented 50 to 151% of the STTD phosphorus requirement and 30 to 170% of the total calcium requirement. By the end of the 21-day trial, at which time the pigs’ average weight was 22.4 kilograms, the researchers were able to determine pig growth performance. Specifically, they quantified final body weight, average daily gain, gain-to-feed ratio and incorporation of the minerals into bone. The team also analyzed gene expression patterns and found more leakage of calcium out of the gut when the mineral was fed

in excess. “The bottom line is that it’s very important not to overfeed calcium. We have to know exactly how much calcium is in each ingredient and then formulate mixed diets to make sure we don’t get too much,” Stein said. “There are some calcium sources in the diet that feed companies may not necessarily be aware of, such as vitamin premixes that use calcium as a carrier. If you add it all up, you can get quite a bit too much.” Stein added that a European study determined pig diets contain 0.22% more calcium on average than

stated on the product label. On the other hand, commercial diets are unlikely to provide excess phosphorus. It’s not only one of the most expensive nutrients; it also can cause environmental harm when excreted in urine and manure. The article, “Influence of the concentration of dietary digestible calcium on growth performance, bone mineralization, plasma calcium and abundance of genes involved in intestinal absorption of calcium in pigs from 11 to 22 kg fed diets with different concentrations of digestible phosphorus,” is published in Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology.

Health benefits of cannabis among nutraceutical topics MENOMONIE, Wis. — Vets Plus Inc., in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-Stout, recently presented the firstever international conference on the growing use of nutraceuticals to benefit companion and production animal health. The International Conference on Animal Health Nutraceuticals, or ICAHN 2019, was conducted at UW-Stout’s Memorial Student Center conference facility in Menomonie. According to Raj Lall, Vets Plus’ founder and CEO, the successful conference resulted from a combination of world-renowned scientists, timely topics for discussion and superb conference management support provided by UW-Stout. “All veterinarians use nutraceuticals for a growing list of companion and production animal indications, but far fewer have access to up-to-date information about their use,” he said. “ICAHN enabled veterinarians and industry professionals to receive cutting-edge information from leading scientists on advancements, applications and potential concerns about nutraceutical use.” Ajay Srivastava, Vets Plus’ chief scientific officer, added: “To our knowledge, this is the first time a group of leading nu-

traceutical scientists has appeared together in this kind of dedicated forum. We are proud of the caliber of the scientific presenters at ICAHN. Some of the brightest minds in the nutritional science category provided public access to their work.” “For instance, we were able to feature Dr. Gary Richter discussing endocannabinoid and phytocannabinoid systems, the potential health benefits of cannabis and the current legal landscape affecting their use in animal health,” Srivastava said. “We are also proud to have showcased Dr. Steve Lerner, who explained the technical activities of probiotics in supporting normal gut function and their impact on increased nutrient absorption and enhanced resistance to disease.” ICAHN also featured Gerald Buchoff, who cited increasing concerns about over and misuse of antibiotics and described recent developments in the use of transferrins as immune system modulators for their anti-inflammatory and antiviral benefits. “The conference was an overwhelming success both in terms of attendance and the quality of the interchange between scientists, practitioners and other attendees,” said Paul Hays, Vets Plus’ chief commercial officer.

Canola meal appropriate for gestating and lactating sows URBANA, Ill. — New high-protein canola-meal products are available for inclusion in swine diets, but until now, it wasn’t clear how these products would affect gestating and lactating sows. A recent University of Illinois study demonstrates that both high-protein and conventional canola meal can substitute soybean meal up to 100% without detrimental effects. “Results of our experiment confirmed that if you provide all the digestible amino acids that are needed, it doesn’t matter where they come from; the pigs don’t care if they come from soybean meal, conventional canola, or high-protein canola meal. We can take all the soybean meal out — we did 50% or 100% replacement

of the soybean meal with either source of canola meal — and the sows did exactly the same,” said Hans Stein, professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at U of I and co-author of the Journal of Animal Science study. Stein and his co-authors, Yanhong Liu of UC Davis and Maryane Oliveira, fed experimental diets to 180 sows during gestation and lactation. The five diets within each period consisted of a control diet of corn and soybean meal; experimental diets with high-protein canola meal replacing 50% or 100% of the soybean meal; and with conventional canola meal replacing 50% or 100% of the soybean meal. The researchers found no differences in sow body

weight between control and experimental diets during gestation, after farrowing or at weaning. Similarly, the diets did not influence average daily feed intake of sows. Total number of pigs born, number of pigs born alive, litter birth weight and litter weaning weight also were not different among treatments, but there was a tendency for more pigs being weaned per litter as high-protein canola meal increased in the diets. Pre-weaning mortality of piglets also was reduced as either high-protein or conventional canola meal was included in the diets. The results run counter to the conventional practice of limiting canola meal to 10% to 15% in sow diets due to anti-nutritive

glucosinolates that reduce amino acid digestibility. “The older recommendations were made at a time when canola contained more glucosinolates. But breeders keep selecting for lower and lower concentrations of glucosinolates in canola. With the newer varieties, which have also been selected for larger seed size, less fiber and more protein, we can include more of the canola meal in the diets,” Stein said. “This has never been shown before.”

Start with the most resistant variety available, and then apply your fungicides and insecticides in a timely manner.

Sudden Death Syndrome

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) occurs when the plant is infected by the fungal pathogen Fusarium virguliforme. Though symptoms of SDS typically do not appear until later in the growing season, the initial infection occurs only in the growing season.

The most important thing farmers can do when looking to control this trifecta of destruction is to be proactive. Always select the highest performing genetically suited soybean variety for your geography. Stay ahead of these threats and work to control them early by utilizing a comprehensive seed treatment to diminish the potential for yield loss. Beck’s now provides farmers with the option to add a broad spectrum nematicide, Nemasect™, as well as modes of action to control - - > ` Ü Ìi ` Ì i À w i `Ã°

“Nematodes, white mold, and sudden death syndrome (SDS) are three of the biggest yield-robbers in soybeans,”says Jim Schwartz, director of Practical Farm Research and Agronomy at Beck’s. “Depending on conditions this summer, it’s possible farmers will see an increase in these three threats.

Initial symptoms include leaf yellowing and loss of the upper leaves.

It really is a complete seed treatment package.” Beck’s base seed treatment, Escalate®, comes standard on every bag of soybeans at no charge.

Bringing species protection into the 21st century The Trump administration did what Congress or any previous presidential administration couldn’t or wouldn’t: modernize federal agency processes under the 46 year-old Endangered Species Act. On Aug. 12, Interior Secretary David Bernhardt Zippy Duvall announced three new rules to ensure that the ESA better fulfills the purpose of species American Farm Bureau recovery, while making the law work better for landowners. Federation These improvements matter because ESA restrictions hinder farming and ranching — something that’s understandable when it truly is needed to benefit a species. However, it’s extremely frustrating when the farmer or rancher knows the restrictions will do little for the critters they’re supposed to help, or when species remain on the endangered list long after the land is crawling with them. One of the reforms announced recently eliminates the so-called blanket 4(d) rule that treated many species classified as threatened — at risk of becoming endangered — the same as those classified as endangered. If those categories are treated the same, what’s the use of having separate classifications? Going forward, the Fish and Wildlife Service will write species-specific rules concerning how best to help threatened species thrive. Another rule ensures that delisting or reclassifying a species is based on the same factors that determine whether to list a species in the first place. Making all listing decisions on the basis of consistent criteria will help to direct resources to species in need by not expending them on species that already have recovered. The rule also ensures that listing decisions are based on the best available science, consistent with the law. Finally, this rule fixes something that really gets in the landowner’s craw: designating critical habitat where species do not exist, and possibly never have. This has been a real head-scratcher for many farmers and ranchers — a perfect example of regulations that don’t make sense and don’t work. Now, areas where threatened and endangered species are present will be up for critical habitat designation before unoccupied areas, and unoccupied areas will have to contain at least one physical or biological feature that’s essential to the species’ conservation. That just makes sense. As someone whose hairline is endangered, I’m glad I don’t have to scratch my head over that one any more. A third rule will make the consultation process between federal agencies more efficient, and it sets a deadline for some consultations. It might be difficult to get excited about a change to a government process, but let me tell you this is huge: it means there could be quicker approvals for new pest management tools, for example, if the process for the Environmental Protection Agency to consult with the Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service is more timely. Some will predictably claim that these reforms “weaken” the ESA and species protection, and they will be wrong. When I see a way to make my farm more efficient, it strengthens my farm. Any business would update a 46 year-old process to make it work better. The Interior Department is bringing ESA rules into the 21st century and making improvements based on lessons learned over decades of working to conserve and recover species. Leaders of several agricultural organizations, including Farm Bureau, were on hand for the announcement. It has been refreshing for those who are most affected by federal actions to be consulted and heard when those actions are considered and announced. The recent announcement of ESA reforms adds to a growing list of regulatory reform achievements that improve our ability to farm and ranch and keep food on America’s tables. We’ve worked for decades to help government leaders understand that ESA implementation and bureaucratic red tape had strayed far beyond common sense or the original intent of the law. We applaud the president and Secretary Bernhardt for these much-needed improvements.

No one wins in trade wars

Most rural Americans are old enough to remember when their president noted that “trade wars are good, and easy to win.” That was, after all, several tariff hikes, of trade meetFarm & Food dozens ings and more than File 15,000 presidential tweets ago. It may Alan Guebert seem like a lifetime, but it was just 19 months ago, on March 2, 2018. What most have forgotten about the tweet, though, is that President Donald Trump’s “easy to win” line was just the preface to an even more outlandish claim. “Example,” he continued, “when we are down $100 billion with a certain country and they get cute, don’t trade anymore — we win big. It’s easy!” That wishful thinking turned out to be, in fact, wishful thinking. Despite the imposition of U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports shortly thereafter, the U.S. trade deficit with China, the tweet’s “certain country,” grew from $375.4 billion in 2017 to $419.5 billion in 2018. So much for cute and easy. Of course, most farmers could have told you that trade wars aren’t good for rural or urban America; they definitely are not easy to win; and, in fact, no one on either side of these tariff-fueled battles ever wins anything — big, little or in between.

Politicians, however, are slow in memory recollection and collective action. Both President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping continue to increase their nations’ tariffs in the ongoing trade war so much so that neither feels he can climb out of the tariff mud to restart clean, detailed truce talks. In the meantime, the key issue that ignited this fight, intellectual property theft by China, is lost in the nationalist smoke and political hot air. Commodity markets, however, are not lost; most can be found sinking near 2019 contract lows. New crop December corn futures, at $3.50 per bushel, are a solid $1 below June highs and appear glued to chart lows. Others futures, like November soybeans, seem to be on speculators’ near-perfect elevator — up 10 cents one day, down 11 cents the next — to allow easy, day trading profits while prices slowly drift into harvest lows. All of this, as well as an uninformed, recent gaffe by the president — “Japan only buys our wheat to make us feel good” — and a cutting wisecrack by Secretary of Agriculture Sonny “Whine Cellar” Perdue, has left farmers and ranchers wondering who their real enemy might be. They’re not alone. Central bankers from Germany to Singapore are watching their nations’ economies slow to a worrisome crawl. The dreaded “R” word, recession, is creeping into their speeches. In the United States, Wall Street spent the usually sleepy month of

August going up and down more often than a mountain goat. Analysts worry about inverted yield curves, upcoming monthly Federal Reserve meetings and $1 trillion federal budget deficits. They, too, are searching — mostly in vain — for good news and safe harbors. The emerging reality for all, however, is even more worrisome. The key players in the global economy are, as the recent G-7 meeting in France laid bare, at a stiff-necked impasse on trade, the glue that holds the increasingly fragile global economy together. Worse, no international leader appears willing to lead while the established leader, the United States, continues its us-against-the-world, tariffs-on-everyone strategy in trade talks with, well, everyone. Evidence of that strategy’s failure — a flagging ag sector, steel plants shutting down, the slowing U.S. economy and a quickly devaluing Chinese currency — has yet to turn heads and, more importantly, minds in the White House. All of which leaves American farmers in the no man’s land of a trade war with little recourse, but to keep their heads down as the big boys slug it out from their deepening trenches. So much for good trade wars and easy wins. Farm & Food File is published weekly through the U.S. and Canada. Source material and contact information are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com.

Call for new supply management program For the first time since at least 1980, we have presidential candidates who have designed their proposed agricultural policies based on the economic characteristics of the crop sector: the low price elasticity of both supply and demand. Both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have come out in favor of supply management policies. It is refreshing that a number of other presidential candidates also have addressed agricultural issues. The most detailed of those policy proposals has been put forth by Elizabeth Warren, so we will examine her policies first. As a matter of full disclosure before we proceed: Harwood worked with the Warren campaign on their supply management proposal. In subsequent weeks, we will examine at the agricultural proposals of the other presidential candidates. Warren writes: “We need a new approach that uses taxpayer money more wisely, provides stable access to food and accounts for the complexities of the agriculture markets. Just like workers need a living wage, farmers need a fair price — one that covers the costs they have to pay to produce their goods. “We need to replace our failed system with a tried-and-true method that guarantees farmers that fair price and ends overproduction. Building on the successful model of the New Deal, my plan calls for a new supply management program — which studies show would be billions cheaper for taxpayers than our current subsidy program yet provides farm incomes that are higher.”

produce more and more of the same,” Warren writes. Her proposal “would also save taxpayers billions. Because a supply management program only pays for the amount of commodities that it takes off of the market, it would substantially reduce costs for taxpayers who, in the current subsidy approach, can end up paying for every single bushel and bale that farmers grow.” Ag Policy With regard to climate change, her plan would “make it economically Daryll E.

WEST PEORIA, Ill. — What took less than 24 hours to destroy will take a little longer to rebuild. Raber Packing Co., which burned on Nov. 8, 2018, will rise from the ashes. The new and improved meat processing, shop and demonstration facility that owner Buddy Courdt envisions is in the planning process. “We are working on designing a plant that is innovative and efficient,” Courdt said. In April, Courdt and Jim Dillon, mayor of West Peoria, conducted a news conference to announce that the fourth-generation meat processing company would relocate to West Peoria and would rebuild. “To have a business this size that is family oriented, going to build union, is exciting,” said Dillon as he and Courdt, surrounded by members of the Raber and Courdt families and Raber employees, stood at the site of the future facility. The new facility will be a 40,000 square foot facility that is going on almost 10 acres of property, which will leave room for possible future expansion. “I can’t wait to see the first shovel of dirt turned and get that much closer to having Raber’s back open,” Dillon said. On Aug. 30, Courdt said that the rebuilding process for the kind of

modern meat processing facility he wants takes some time to get just right. “We are still in the planning process. Navigating the rebuild process is extensive and intensive,” Courdt said. Even back in April, Courdt said the company had a long road ahead before the “Open for Business” sign would go up. “I don’t foresee anything being a problem, but there’s a lot of work to be done,” he said. One major change on the business end is that the new Raber Packing Co. will be able to sell its meat products around the country. The facility is moving from being state inspected to being federally inspected, which will allow products to be sold commercially anywhere in the United States. The larger facility also will hold more live animals for processing. “We could easily do 300 to 400 hogs a week and 50 beef a week if we wanted to and if we get to that point,” Courdt said. Courdt said he has maintained contact with the area farmers who supplied animals to the original facility. “I talk to at least one or two farmers a week, wanting to know what’s going on, when it’s going to happen. They want to plan for that future, so I don’t see too many difficulties there in having all those relationships back,” Courdt said.

After Brett Musgrave, the operations manager for Raber Packing Co., took his kids to school on Nov. 9, 2018, he had a job to finish. With his cousin’s business in smoking ruins from an overnight fire, Musgrave set about making sure that a Raber tradition — cooking and serving Friday supper at the Salvation Army shelter — went on as usual. Later, Musgrave and his children went to look at what remained of the business.

Fire didn’t stop a Raber tradition By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

PEORIA, Ill. — Brett Musgrave didn’t say much as he sat with his cousin, Buddy Courdt, the owner of Raber Packing Co., along with Buddy’s parents, Fred and Julie Courdt, on the morning of Nov. 9, 2018. “We tried to talk about what do things look like tomorrow,” Musgrave said. Musgrave is the operations manager for Raber Packing Co., which is set to relocate in West Peoria. He works full time for Courdt during the summer, when his wife, a teacher, is at home. One of those tomorrow things was pay. The employees’ paychecks lay in a safe, but that safe was under a smoking pile of debris that had been Courdt’s fourth-generation family business. “The fire happened when the payroll had just been done, so it was in the safe in the building,” Musgrave said. Musgrave had that in mind, but a Raber tradition, as well. Every Friday night for a number of years, Raber employees have been cooking and serving supper to the residents of the Salvation Army mission in Peoria. Even with the chaos happening around them, the meal remained a priority for the Courdts and their workers. “Obviously, in that situation, we were thinking — what are they going to do? We discussed that while we were sitting watching the fire. We determined that it was still possible to do the supper that day,” Musgrave said.

After he took his kids to school, Musgrave started calling to figure out a way to get supper ready. The area business community responded. “The owners of Pizza Ranch in Morton, they offered us pretty much any item they make. I said let’s serve pizzas, and they offered anything they make and they offered to help out,” Musgrave said. Some of the items that the Raber Friday night supper team serves, like fruit and cookies, they purchase at the local Sam’s Club. “They replaced what we had that burned, so we could still have all that for Friday,” Musgrave said. The Friday night supper went on as usual. Even as they served others, the Raber employees didn’t have to worry about their futures. Buddy Courdt assured his workers they would continue to be paid. The only delay in that process was reprocessing the payroll that was in the safe during the fire. The Raber employees have kept up their volunteer work. Thirty Raber’s workers have volunteered their time at nonprofit organizations in and around the Peoria area. It’s not just a benefit for the organizations that received the extra help. “The biggest hurdle when we open back up is that people may not be used to getting up and being at the same place for an extended period of time and doing a repetitive job. The idea is to try and overcome that and give people a routine and a place to be,” Musgrave said.

A blind eye to Trump tweets In April 2007, Rich Allen, a 42year employee of the USDA, composed a publication entitled, “Safeguarding America’s Agriculture Commodity Statistics, A Century of Insight Successful and Secure Procedures, Jerry Welch 1905-2005.” His publication was “dedicated to the thousands of employees of the United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service-and its predecessor organizations-who in the past 100 years have built the premiere statistical confidentiality procedures in the world.” According to Allen, the event that changed statistical reporting was the “Data Leak of 1905.” Apparently, in 1904 there were rumors about insider trading which was illegal then as it is now. It was later reported that one of three Bureau of Statistics people, E.S. Holmes Jr., had a partner, Louis Van Riper, a New York cotton trader. Holmes would meet with Van Riper and tell him about the upcoming cotton data. Van Riper would quickly take a position in the cotton market that would be most profitable based on the inside information. However, the bureau chief did not think insider trading was possible. In an effort to maintain the integrity of the system, he ordered the three members, including Holmes, not to leave the office until the report was released to the public. But that did not deter Holmes or Van Riper. They had a plan that involved a signal. They used a particular window blind to indicate the estimated cotton acres nationally. Holmes raised the window blind to the middle of the window if the data was close to their own estimate. If the total acres were higher or lower, Holmes adjusted the blind based on a pre-determined scale they contrived. Allen wrote the following to explain how Holmes and Van Riper were caught red-handed: “The scheme came to light when Van Riper charged in a telegram that a ‘fraudulent’ report had been released. In explaining why he thought this was a false report, he unwittingly revealed that he had the information ahead of time. Evidently, Holmes’ outside partner had an overabundance of ego, but not a good balance of common sense in going public with his story.” The publication is more than interesting and can be found at “https://www.nass.usda.gov/About_ NASS/pdf/asb_historical.pdf. Find and read it. From Allen, one of the final paragraphs of his publication states. “Our pledge, as we enter our second century of successful and secure procedures, is to continue upholding the model of security to safeguard data until they are made available to everyone simultaneously and fairly. We will continue to maintain the trust we have established in our data and our procedures from America’s farmers and ranchers, our data users, the agricultural industry, and statistical organizations and governments around the world. We will continue to ensure that the “curtains always remain sealed’ so everyone benefits equally from the U.S. agricultural statistics system. Furthermore, we will continue the NASS mission of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture.” And everything above leads me to the “tweets” that come from the White House and President Donald Trump. Once a “tweet” is composed and ready to be released, the sender simply pushes the send button and the public sees it immediately. But does Trump immediately push the send button? Or, does he first allow someone or several someones to read the tweet ahead of time? Have they in turn informed others about a “DT” tweet about to be released? The tweets coming from Trump are being blamed on the Dow Jones moving sharply higher or lower in seconds. A Bloomberg News headline blared: “Here’s How Wildly Stocks Swing When Trump Mentions the Trade War.” Grain and livestock prices also are swinging wildly following a DT tweet. Where is the Security and Exchange Commission on this issue? Where is the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on the issue of Trump’s tweets being inside information? Where are the regulatory agencies on the question of who reads and possibly acts on the tweets before the public has access to the same market-moving news? In my view, there is not much difference between the window blinds in the Data Leak of 1905 and the question of how many people read the tweets of Trump and act on the information before the public has a chance to do the same. Where are the regulators on this issue?
