COMMODITY CLASSIC

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Gov. J.B. Pritzker appointed Jerry Costello II as director of the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Costello, of Smithton, joins the governor’s cabinet from his position as the director of law en forcement for the Illinois Depa r t ment of Natural Resources, which he had held s i nc e May 2019. He repre s ent ed t he 116th District in the Illinois Costello House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019, during which he served as chairman of the Agriculture and Conservation Committee. He also served on the PritzkerStratton Agriculture Transition Committee. He graduated from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and joined the U.S. Army, serving during Operation Desert Storm as part of the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division. Following his military service in Iraq, Costello returned to Illinois where he became a police officer and started a family. Initially a patrolman, he would rise through the ranks and become assistant police chief. Born and raised in southern Illinois, his family has a small farm in Franklin County, producing crops and raising cattle. Costello and his wife, Lori, have three children. “With farming playing an important role in his family’s history and a career of public service, there’s no better person to lead the Illinois Department of Agriculture at this time than Jerry Costello,” Pritzker said. “Our agriculture sector drives our state’s economy to the tune of $19 billion every year, and I’m confident that Jerry’s deep experience will bring a steady hand to the department and continue the impressive growth of this vital industry.” See CHIEF, Page A5

‘Cautious optimism’ for 2020 in survey By Tom C. Doran

A huge trade show, educational sessions, entertainment and the opportunity to network with thousands of America’s farmers are hallmarks of Commodity Classic, produced by the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers and Association of Equipment Manufacturers. The event was held this year in San Antonio, where it is scheduled again next year and will celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Trade, not aid USDA isn’t planning more MFP payments

farmers. Days later, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced plans were being made for a second year of MFP payments.

HELPING HAND Perdue said these payments contributed significantly to the incomes of U.S. farms in 2018 and 2019, directly changing the color of their bottom lines. “These have been tough years — the prevented plant acres of last year from 20 million and then the trade disruption and retaliation there, not being able to market their crops, backing up over elevators and then even quality problems that have contributed, I think everyone has valued and appreciated the Market Facilitation Program,” he said. “I can tell you, sincerely, I asked our economist to calculate the trade-disruption damage the best he could across all sectors and it would disregard for region or crop or anything like that and tell me where those numbers were. I didn’t try to push my finger on the scale in any way to do that.” The payments did not favor specific geographies or large farms over small farms, Perdue said. On average, he noted, farms under 100 acres received $55 per acre, while larger farms got $47 an acre.

SAN ANTONIO — Farmers should not expect another round of government trade aid, stressed Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue at Commodity Classic in San Antonio. Asked on Feb. 28 if the U.S. Department of Agriculture is working on a fourth tranche of Market Facilitation Program payments, he answered succinctly: “No.” The MFP was created in 2018 to assist farmers who were hurt financially by Chinese retaliatory tariffs. It made up the bulk of $16 billion in USDA trade assistance that the White House authorized in 2019. About $14.5 billion was designated for direct payments to farmers through the MFP. About $1.4 billion went for purchase of commodities to be distributed through the Agricultural Marketing Service. The remaining $100 million was earmarked for trade promotion efforts. However, in all caps, President Donald Trump on Feb. 21 tweeted there is defi-

He wrote: “IF OUR FORMALLY TARGETED FARMERS NEED ADDITIONAL AID UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE TRADE DEALS WITH CHINA, MEXICO, CANADA AND OTHERS FULLY KICK IN, THAT AID WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, PAID FOR OUT OF THE MASSIVE TARIFF MONEY COMING INTO THE USA!” Last May, Trump vented his frustration on Twitter as trade talks with China began to stall and implied a new round of trade aid would come for

Success in Stewardship Corn growers beat drum for conservation By James Henry

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SAN ANTONIO — The innovative spirit of corn growers in Illinois and Minnesota was showcased at Commodity Classic in San Antonio. The National Corn Growers Association and Environmental Defense Fund launched the Success in Stewardship Network to celebrate and accelerate the use of agricultural conservation practices on U.S. farms. The first programs recognized by the new network were the Precision Conservation Management Program from the Illinois Corn Growers Association and the Minnesota Corn Innovation Grant Program from the Minnesota Corn Growers Association. “Sustainably growing corn

is an important way that we can preserve our resources, but also our competitive advantage,” said Kevin Ross, NCGA president. Ross “The U.S. is full of growers committed to meeting society’s needs while reaching our goals of healthy soil and clean water. NCGA feels we have reached a tipping point where we have an opportunity to begin recognizing corn farmers more broadly for their efforts to stay productive and profitable and manage the challenge of climate change all while accelerating sustainable farming practices. “A regular drumbeat about the value and importance of stewardship along with local and state examples can drive this movement.” Here is what other leaders said during the Success in Stewardship Network kickoff:

“This network is really going to be key to accelerating the conservation movement across the country. We feel this is critical to Eideberg protecting our land and our water for future generations. We feel very strongly that it’s time to break down the notion that conservation and conservation practices are only for elite farmers. This is for everybody. Instead, we know that farmers across the country are already utilizing these practices. We want this new network to establish a peer-to-peer conversation that is going to be critical to expediting the adoption across all land of these valuable practices.” Callie Eideberg, director of agricultural policy and special projects ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND

CHICAGO — Farmland values remained relatively steady through the fourth quarter of 2019 and the agricultural outlook was more optimistic than a year ago, according to a Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago survey. Overall, the Seventh Federal Reserve District saw no yearover-year change in the agricultural land values in 2019. However, values for “good” farmland in the fourth quarter of 2019 overall were up 1% from the third quarter, based on 142 survey respondents representing agricultural banks across the district. In the fourth quarter of 2019, Indiana and Iowa experienced year-over-year increases in agricultural land values of 2%, whereas Illinois and Wisconsin experienced decreases of 1% and 2%, respectively, from the last quarter of 2018. However, Illinois agricultural land values from the third to the fourth quarter of 2019 increased by 2% and Indiana was unchanged. The Seventh Federal Reserve District includes the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana and all of Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. See VALUES, Page A4

Growing demand in 2029 outlook Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON — A 10-year forecast for the food and agriculture sector projects rising global demand, continued strong trade competition, and for the U.S. to remain competitive in the global export market. “Rising global demand for varied diets and protein is projected to stimulate demand for feed grains and soybeans,” the U.S. Department of Agriculture stated in its Agricultural Projects to 2029 report. “Although trade competition will continue to be strong, the U.S. is projected to remain competitive in global agricultural markets due, in part, to product quality and market efficiency.” The forecasts were prepared by the Interagency Agricultural Committee, led by the Office of the Chief Economist, World Agricultural Outlook Board, and USDA. The projections assume the trade disputes to continue during the duration of the projection period. Net U.S. farm income is expected to increase by $1.4 billion in 2020 to $93.9 billion and remain between $88.8 and $98.6 billion for the remainder of the decade, trending upward during the latter half. While agricultural crop prices are tending to trend upwards only slowly in nominal terms, U.S. trade disputes with China that existed at the time of these projections were formulated have dampened expectations, particularly for soybeans.

Fit feed to cattle needs By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cattle rations should start with a good feed foundation before tweaking them with supplements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it comes to getting the best out of supplements, you need to add them to a good feed,â&#x20AC;? said K irk Stier walt, Honor Show Chow Ambassador for Purina Animal Nutrition. â&#x20AC;&#x153; S u p ple m e nt s h av e produced a lot of advantages for people in the show cattle industr y,â&#x20AC;? Stierwalt stated from the Purina booth at the trade show of the Illinois Beef Expo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we look at supplements, the Purina High Octane line has lots of options and what makes them unique is most are multiple species,â&#x20AC;? he said. Stierwalt encourages exhibitors to sort their cattle to feed them according to their needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you sort them you can dial them in for your target

show, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the supplements come into play,â&#x20AC;? he added. All cattle feeders should know the protein, fat and ďŹ ber content of the supplements going into the ration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protein needs to be between 12 to 14% to grow a calf; fat can vary from 1 to 5% and ďŹ ber from 15 to 20%,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precon is a feed that has 1% fat, 12% protein and 26% ďŹ ber for starting calves,â&#x20AC;? he said. Precon is a feed I recommend you start them on early.â&#x20AC;? For a steer that needs more rib shape and condition, Stierwalt recommends the Ultra Full supplement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed Ultra Full at about 3 pounds per feeding,â&#x20AC;? he added. Depth Charge supplement helps promote a full physical appearance for show day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed this supplement long term, we save it for the shows,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the fastest reacting supplement that you can feed and it can complement beet pulp.â&#x20AC;?

The Best In Drainage Management

Power Fuel contains 31% fat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feeding 1 pound of Power Fuel per day is equivalent to 7 pounds of corn for fat consumption and 4 pounds of corn for energy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feed this supplement long enough, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until 60 days before the fair because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the biggest advantage if you feed it longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Feed Champion Drive when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get some deďŹ nition of muscle and tone them up,â&#x20AC;? he advised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Champion Drive has non-fat burning protein and it is good for multiple species.â&#x20AC;? One of Purinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest products is Alleviate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If your calves have bloating, consumption problems, heat stress or they are nervous, I strongly recommend putting them on Alleviate,â&#x20AC;? Stierwalt stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alleviate balances the pH in the gut,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When cattle stress, the pH goes down and acid comes in and Alleviate will ďŹ x that.â&#x20AC;? For heifers, Stierwalt said, consider feeding Fitter 35 or Fitter 52. â&#x20AC;&#x153; T hese supplement s have fat-burning protein that is designed to take fat out of the calfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necks,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about your heifers getting too fat, add Fitter 35 as a prevention.â&#x20AC;?

Trooper Bridget Howard discusses her work with the Illinois State Police during the annual meeting of the Illinois Agri-Women. Now in her eighth year as a state trooper she works with crime scene investigations in Region 4 that covers 36 counties.

CSI: Illinois State trooper ‘working for the victim’ By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

URBANA, Ill. — The work by Illinois State Police troopers in the crime scene division is focused on the victims. “Whether it’s a burglary or a death investigation, I’m working for the victim,” said Trooper Bridget Howard, who spoke during the Illinois Agri-Women annual meeting. “That’s what helps keep me going because there are times I have to see really bad stuff,” said Howard, who is in her eighth year as an Illinois State Police trooper. “We primarily work for outside agencies, county and local departments who can call on us anytime they need assistance with a crime scene or something processed,” she said. When first applying to become an Illinois State Police trooper, Howard knew she did not want to work on the road for her career. “But there are so many divisions like investigations, crime scene and medical fraud, that I decided to apply,” she said. After completing the sixmonth academy, Howard’s first assignment was in District 17, which includes Putnam, Bureau and La Salle counties, about three hours north of her home in Vandalia. “I had never heard of La

Salle-Peru, and I learned that it snows in October, which is not normal for the Vandalia area,” she said. After two years, Howard began working in District 12, where she was on the road for about a year. “Crime scene is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Howard said. “Now I work in Region 4 with crime scene that covers 36 counties, and my office is in Effingham. There are six working CSIs.” Although is on the road a lot traveling in her region to get to crime scenes, she does not make traffic stops. “We strictly do crime scene work because our squads are not set up for traffic stops, we don’t have the lights that we need,” she said. Working on crime scenes, Howard said, is different than many people envision. “What you see on TV is not how it is in the field,” she stressed. “We have some things that are similar, but we don’t get Hummers to drive.” Although the Howard works Monday through Friday, someone is always on call to provide 24/7 coverage. “I’ve probably worked about 350 cases, and on average, we try to work about 100 cases a year,” she said. “We try to help each other a lot, and if it is a homicide scene, all the CSIs that are working are at the scene.” The crime scene troopers work with a variety of situations. “We do property crimes such as burglary, recovering stolen vehicles and property damage,”

Howard said. “We do crimes against persons that include aggravated battery, sexual assault and domestic battery, as well as death investigations.” “When we process a scene it is strictly a death investigation because it is not our job to make a call,” she said. “Sometimes if you jump too far ahead in thinking it’s one thing and not the other, you might miss something.” For death investigations, the trooper always attends the autopsy. “We always follow the body,” she said. At scenes, the troopers will process for fingerprints, footwear and red blood-like substance or stains. “It is not always about what you see at a crime scene. Sometimes it’s about what you don’t see,” Howard said. “We see a lot of suicide, and I didn’t realize there were so many suicides until I started working in crime scene,” she said. “It’s very common, and it’s a sad thing to know it happens as often as it does.” T he ca l l- out schedu le, Howard said, can be a struggle some weeks. “You never know when your phone is going to ring, and one Saturday I was out for 12.5 hours,” she said. “If you don’t work in law enforcement, it’s really hard to understand because you never know what you’re going to run into.” Martha Blum can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 117, or marthablum@agrinews-pubs. com.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Pork producers and other livestock farmers can find themselves hamstrung with mixed messages regarding media and social media. Communications and public relations teams within ag membership groups tell farmers and ranchers to reach out to consumers, strike up conversations, tell their story to reduce and prevent fallacies about and stigma around meat production and animal agriculture. Meanwhile, politicians and others toss around the labels of “fake news” and demonize media and media stories and reports. Is there a happy medium for livestock producers? Allyson Jones-Brimmer, director of industry relations with the Animal Agriculture Alliance, says yes. We sat down with Allyson at the 2020 Illinois Pork Expo to talk about the challenges and opportunities that livestock producers face in trying to get themselves heard. Who are we talking to? Who do farmers and ranchers need to be reaching with their farm and ranch stories and information? We should focus on the “moveable middle.” You’ve got extremes at either end, activists who are opposed to animal agriculture, they’ve already made up their minds what their beliefs are and what their food choices are. You’ve got farmers and ranchers and others in the livestock industry at the other end, who are extremely passionate about raising animals. You’ve got a big group of people in the middle. The majority of people in the middle haven’t made up their minds. They either haven’t thought about it or they don’t care until something prompts them to care. Now that we know who we’re talking to, what do we say? We want to answer genuine questions. We want to show people, who have maybe never seen it before, what’s going on at the farm or ranch. We want to be respectful of what they know or don’t know about animal agriculture now. That’s going to go a really long way to building trust with them and building relationships with them. Livestock farmers can find themselves between a rock and a hard place. If they don’t tell their story, activists can hijack the message; if they do, their words can and have been used against them. Is there a middle ground? Producers have to walk a fine line between protecting themselves and their business, their animals’ health and transparency. We want to be transparent about what’s going on at the farms. We want to be willing to open the barn doors, whether that’s figuratively or literally, and share what’s going on. At the same time, we need to protect the business from those who might have an agenda already set trying to be negative toward the industry or the farm or hurt the farmer’s business.

So what can farmers do? If there are local reporters and local media outlets, producers can build relationships with them. They can do Jones-Brimmer some of their own work on social media, sharing videos and pictures and information and answering questions. That can help build trust. They can be involved in community organizations. I know a lot of farmers serve on school boards and serve their community in other ways. They can use those avenues as an opportunity to answer genuine questions about what’s going on at their farm. Can that pay off down the road? It sure can. They can put themselves in a position to be regarded as a resource, they can be seen as someone who is trustworthy and if someone in the community runs across something negative about farmers and ranchers or animal agriculture, they will be more likely to go to that farmer as a source and ask questions and believe what the farmer is saying. You’ve mentioned the importance of people having a farm reference, especially when they see an activist video or photos. What’s that all about? It can be critical. If someone sees an activist video or photos and they don’t know if what they are seeing is right or wrong, they will tend to believe it. The more we can have people see what the insides of barns look like, what’s going on inside there, tidbits of information, questions answered, things like that, the more we can do that before someone sees a negative video or a negative image, the better off we’re going to be in sharing our side of the story and what’s going on. Biosecurity is a huge issue with the livestock industry. How do we work with the strict and necessary biosecurity to open the barn doors? Is social media, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter a good way? It’s really critical. It’s hard to get people in barns so this is the best way to talk to a mass audience and get a message shared. Getting outside of your own echo chamber is really important. I’ve seen some accounts of farmers and ranchers who really seem to have the magic touch on social media. How do they do it? We have some really great farmers who are doing a lot of really awesome things on social media. They are funny. They are good at taking awesome pictures. They are good at taking amazing videos. They are staying on trend with what people want to see. There are a lot of good examples to follow out there but we need more. We need more farmers willing to be on social media and answer questions and share photos and videos and be funny and reach outside their normal circle of friends.

vestments. “High-speed broadband is critical for the prosperous future of rural communities,” Wilson said. “It is essential for economic development and improved access to health care and educational resources. President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Perdue have made the deployment of this much-needed service a priority. I congratulate Hamilton County Telephone Cooperative on this award and look forward

to seeing more communities get access to this vital infrastructure.” Hamilton County Telephone Cooperative Corp. will replace copper wire with fiber-optic cable wire. The upgrade will benefit 146 customers in the area. The company provides broadband internet access, entertainment video and voice services to 1,600 customers over approximately 467 square miles.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Each year, the Illinois Pork Producers Association awards a summer internship. Zachary Perkins has been selected as the next IL Pork Ambassador. Perkins is currently a junior at Illinois State University, majoring in agriculture business and animal industry management. He is from Millbrook in Kendall County. He received an associate degree at Joliet Junior College, where he was also a member of the livestock judging team. He is currently on the Illinois 4-H Livestock Ambassador Team and a member of the ISU Collegiate Farm Bureau and ISU Hoof and Horn Club. He enjoys being active in these organizations that promote agriculture and the swine industry. As a 4-H and FFA member, his project was raising show pigs with his brother. They primarily raised Durocs and Crossbreds. This experience instilled a passion for

pigs that has stuck with him today. “I am excited to serve the pork indu st r y a nd work w it h the great people involved,” Perkins said. Perkins “I look forward to meeting farmers from all across the state and getting to visit with youth.” Perkins will hold the title of ambassador through the 2021 Illinois Pork Expo and will intern in the IPPA office this coming summer. He will travel throughout the state presenting at Summer Agriculture Institutes and will manage the Birthing Center at the Illinois State Fair. “IPPA is very fortunate to have such a leader in this position,” said Jenny Jackson, director of communications for IPPA.

OUTLOOK FROM PAGE ONE

Planted acreage is projected to drop slightly overall compared to recent years, primarily due to expected lower soybean plantings, while corn and wheat plantings are expected to remain mostly unmoved. Acreage enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program also is expected to rise, lowering total acres to the eight main crops. Here’s what the outlook noted for specific commodities.

Q Rising slaughter weights Q Despite continued due to efficiencies from competition from Brazil, Argentina, and Ukraine, growing domestic feed use, and slowly increasing demand for ethanol, the United States’ market share of global corn trade will rise slightly from 30.5% to 31.6% by 2029-2030. This is well below the shares prior to 2010, when the U.S. last exceeded 50% of global export market share. SOYBEANS Q After dropping sharply in 2019-2020 due to weather-related planting issues and trade tensions with China, U.S. soybean plantings are projected to rebound and remain relatively steady over the course of the decade. Plantings are projected to remain in the mid-80-million-acre range, supported by slowly rising prices and net returns. Q Growth in domestic demand continues for soybean meal and oil, and thus the crush is projected to continue to increase over the next decade. These gains reflect low expected feed prices, increasing livestock production, stable but historically high soy oil use for biodiesel and gradually increasing demand by importers as incomes continue to rise globally. Q U.S. soybean exports were subdued in 20192020 after climbing rapidly between 2012-2013 and 2017-2018 but recover to recent highs by the middle of the projection period as producers and exporters adjust to the new trade environment. Brazil continues to capture market share, and the U.S. share of trade drops from 34% to 32.5% between 2020-2021 and 2029-2030. Q U.S. exports of soybean oil and meal will continue to face strong competition from South America. With a comparative advantage that continues to favor soybean products over soybeans, Argentina’s share of world soybean meal exports continues to grow to 45.9% of the global market by the end of the projection period. Q Brazil is the second-leading exporter of soybean meal and is expected to raise its share of global exports from 22.6% to 24.6%. Despite an increasing level of meal exports, the U.S. loses global share, dropping from 17.9% to 16.3% of

nutrition and genetics will further support gains in beef production. Q Overall, beef production levels are expected to rise to 29.5 billion pounds by 2029. HOGS Q Slowly increasing corn prices and mostly flat hog prices during the projection period lowers the hog feed price ratio (hog price/corn price), causing the initial growth in farrowings to reverse in the second half of the projections period. However, continued gains in pigs per litter and growth in hog carcass weights continue the upward trend in pork production. Q While pork and beef production has been roughly equivalent in recent years, pork production is expected to exceed beef production for most of the projection period, peaking at just over 32.1 billion pounds in 2029, compared to 29.5 billion pounds for beef. BACKGROUND USDA’s long-term agricultural projections presented in this report are a departmental consensus on a long-run scenario for the agricultural sector. These projections provide a starting point for discussion of alternative outcomes for the sector. The repor t assumes that there are no domestic or external shocks that would affect global agricultural supply and demand. Normal weather is assumed. Changes in any of these assumptions can significantly affect the projections, and actual conditions that emerge will alter the outcomes. Tom C.

of 2019 were higher than in the fourth quarter of 2018, as 24% of survey respondents reported more of them and only 1% reported fewer. As of Jan. 1, 2020, the average interest rates for farm operating loans (5.49%), feeder cattle loans (5.61%), and agricultural real estate loans (4.97%) were at their lowest levels since the end of the fourth quarter of 2017. While interest rates moved down, 34% of the survey respondents reported their banks tightened credit standards for agricultural loans in the fourth quarter of 2019 relative to the fourth quarter of 2018, and 66% reported the credit standards at their banks remained essentially unchanged.

WEATHER PRESSURE Weather challenges hurt the five district states’ crop production in 2019 – which helped keep farmland values from changing. Based on calculations using U.S. Department of Agriculture data, the district states’ corn yield fell to 183 bushels per acre in 2019, down 5.8% from 2018, David Oppedahl, Chicago Fed senior business economist, reported in the AgLetter. The district states’ soybean yield dropped 8.9% from 2018 to 52.5 bushels per acre in 2019. Given that harvested acres for both crops declined relative to 2018, corn and soybean output for the district states decreased OPTIMISM 9.7% and 18%, respecThe survey results retively, in 2019. flected some cautious optimism about agriculture’s prospects in 2020.

quarter of 2020. Notably, the share of respondents expecting farmland values to drop (11%) was not much larger than the share of respondents expecting them to climb (7%) — in contrast with the pattern seen over the past six years or so. Hence, district agricultural land values will probably be steady in the ﬁrst quarter of 2020. “The 2020 winter is turning out to be a little bit more of an optimistic time for Midwest farmers in a sense that we’ve had some positive trade developments with China in particular,” said David Oppedahl, senior business economist with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. “T here weren’t any tr ue sur prises in the AgLetter this quarter, but there is a hint of optimism – some guarded optimism – on the part of the banking respondents that’s more than we’ve seen. I think the concerns for Midwest farmers going for ward really focus around the execution of the trade deal that we have so farm with China and other potential trade deals with countr ies around the world. “The weighing of the factors between trade and global demand is a little challenging just because we have had a lot of disruptions in trade that are out of the ordinary. But at the same time when you look longer term, you would think that those would not weigh as heavily as the world continues to grow in population and there will be continued demand for U.S. agricultural products in countries across the globe. I think it’s a positive longer term picture for agriculture in the United States.”

“We did the very best we could,” he said. Perdue praised Trump for working quickly last year to ensure U.S. farmers did not suﬀer when negotiations with China broke down. “He called me early that next morning and said, ‘It looks like the trade deal we’re hoping to get is not going to be coming for a while, so bring me a program that can support our farmers and help mitigate their damages,’” he said. WHAT’S NORMAL? Perdue conceded it is challenging to produce for a market that is losing money. “What we’ve gotten used to in agriculture is looking at the profitability of agriculture based on those years from ‘09 to ‘14, and that’s what we like to think is ‘normal.’ I’ve been in agriculture a long time — it wasn’t normal for me. Those were career-high years,” he said. “I’d love to re-

turn to them, and I think at some point with this growing need globally we can return there.” “It’s tough out there. I’m not trying to sugarcoat the fact that farming is not in a gloriously overly profitable period right now,” he said. “Farmers do what they’ve always done — and that’s to do the best with what they’ve got out there and what they’re given from the market perspective.” MFP was not instituted as a price support program, Perdue emphasized. “That’s very critical to understand,” he said, citing crop insurance and other assistance in the farm safety net. “Pricing is a function of supply and demand. If demand increases and the price doesn’t, that means we still have too much supply,” he said. “The cure for low prices is low prices. The cure for high prices is high prices. The market is a pretty good arbiter of supply and demand.” Perdue said he his optimistic about the United StatesMex ico - Canada Ag reement,

which restructures the North American Free Trade Agreement. “The Canadian producers are not excited about it. There was fairly loud groaning from the dairy sector in Canada,” he said, predicting that access to markets for dairy, poultry, eggs and cheeses, as well as wheat, will be opened for U.S. producers. “I think the certainty of that market will continue to grow under the modern USMCA,” he said, adding the United States is still looking at unfair trade practices by Mexico to subsidize its vegetable and berry production.

GREAT AGAIN Perdue said he also is encouraged by the “Phase 1” trade deal with China signed by President Trump and Vice Premier Liu He on Jan. 15 — despite recent disruptions caused by the coronavirus outbreak. “Obviously, when workers cannot get to the ports because of confinement or quarantine, then it’s very difficult for trade to flow,” he said. “We’re seeing that loosen up some. We’re seeing a little bit more movement in the last few days in that regard. So, I’m hopeful that it may have peaked there and we can begin more trade sooner rather than later.” Technology will be key to feed the world, Perdue said. “What if we had a hog that was resistant to African swine fever? What a difference that would make,” he said. “I literally think we are going to have therapeutic food going forward. I think it’s going to be boutique diet by design, if we are allowed to gene edit both plants and animals in that way. I think we can design food that’s more healthy and more safe and more

I think that’s what the consumer is asking for, although they are very much misinformed when it comes to GMOs.” In turn, Perdue said, conversations about agriculture — especially by agriculture — must change. “I want to validate what farmers are giving, not what they’re getting,” he said. “We look at American farmers as food safety and food security, which we believe contributes to national security, but is also contributing greatly to the pocketbook, the disposable income, of American consumers. That’s the message.” “Farmers traditionally have been fairly modest. They’ve been humble. They’ve been quiet. They’ve been private about what they do. It’s just, ‘put the farm gate up, let us do what we do best,’” he said. “We haven’t told the story. America does not know the advantages they’ve had.” James Henry can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 190, or jhenry@agrinews-pubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Water and sediment control basins, or WASCoBs, are typically used to minimize erosion but there’s very little evidence of the practice’s impact on water quality from a nutrient-loss standpoint. An Illinois Nutrient Research & Education Council-funded research project conducted in Menard County by Southern Illinois University Carbondale is finding the answers with a WASCoB design. Jon Schoonover, SIUC physical hydrology professor in the Department of Forestry, gave an update on the project at the recent Illinois NREC research symposium. The WASCoB is an earth embankment or combination ridge and channel constructed across the slope of minor watercourses to form a sediment trap and water detention basin with a stable outlet. The basins trap sediments on the upland, preventing it from reaching downstream water bodies, and reduce gully erosion. The research is on a 40acre field that drains into the Sangamon River that features erodible timber soil with rolling topography. Weather delayed the construction until the end of June 2019. The Natural Resources Conservation Service designed the WASCoB and the field includes four different drainages specifically for the research. Prior to construction, soil testing was conducted to determine soil nitrate and phosphorus levels, and that sampling will continue throughout the study. The objective is to evaluate the inf luence of WASCoBs and cereal rye cover crops on water quality (i.e., sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous), soil physical and chemical properties, and crop yields. The treatments include WASCoBs with cover crops; WASCoBs without cover crops; as well as an ephemeral gully with cover crops; and ephemeral gully without cover crops. “They’re designed for water and sediment control, but there’s very little evidence of what they do in terms of water quality. So, we’re going to look at nitrogen, phosphorous and also TSS (total suspended solids),” Schoonover explained. Water sampling and water flow monitoring are important pieces of this research. ISCO automatic samplers were installed at the site to monitor water from both the WASCoBs and the ephemeral gullies. Water samples were taken of the WASCoBs with and without cover crops. Total suspended soils were relatively high in the upper portion of both of the WASCoBs. Total phosphorous in the WASCoB with cover crops was 5.12 milligrams

per liter and 5.79 without cover crops. The dissolved phase of phosphorous was only .13 milligrams per liter in cover crops and .11 without cover crops. Nitrate and ammonium milligrams per liter were relatively low in both. “The no cover crop con-

centrations tended to be a little higher but this data is very preliminary. We don’t have a lot of rain events sampled. We want to sample many more rain events before we make any speculation on whether the cover crop was making at difference or not,”

Schoonover said. “The WASCoB upper basins tend to have higher concentrations than what was coming out of the outlet at the bottom. So, there is some kind of microbial processing that’s going on in those upper basins before the water gets down

to the outlet.” Here are the preliminary findings from the first year of research at the site: n Ephemeral gullies contributed more TSS, nitrate and phosphorous to receiving waters than drainages with WASCoBs. n Within a WASCoB

series, the upper basins typically had higher TSS, nitrate, and dissolved reactive phosphorus concentrations than the outlet. n WASCoBs with cover crops had slightly lower TSS, total P, and nitrate than WASCoBs without cover crops.

Building a better buffer Trials test new design Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Infield research with sideby-side comparisons of a typical saturated buffer and a new design is being conducted in a Moultrie County field near Lake Shelbyville. Jon Schoonover, Southern Illinois University Carbondale physical hydrology professor in the Department of Forestry, and his team are demonstrating the alternative saturated buffer design with support from the Illinois Nutrient Research and Education Council. Other collaborators include Illinois Farm Bureau, Natural Resources Conser vation Ser v ice, and the Illinois Chapter of the Land Improvement Contractors of America. Schoonover detailed the new project at the recent Illinois NREC research symposium. Research objectives: Q Monitor a saturated buffer implementing a new pitchfork design equipped with backflow check valves to test the impact on water quality (nitrogen and phosphorus) and quantity reaching the tile outlet, and compare results to a nearby standard buffer. Q Assess the potential denitrification rates and the changes in deep soil carbon and nitrogen pools in the area surrounding the saturated buffers. Q Facilitate the development of design criteria to guide the installation of saturated buffers in the drained fields of Illinois. A saturated buffer is an area of perennial vegetation between agricultural fields and waterways where tile outlets drain. In a typical design, tile lines connect to a control structure, which distributes water laterally along the buffer. As water drains into the buffer, the living roots of perennial vegetation absorb water and nutrients, like nitrate-nitrogen. “The standard saturated buffer has a control structure. You have water coming in and then there are two diversion lines that divert water laterally and into some type of vegetative buffer,” Schoonover said. “This new pitchfork design is more like a leach field in a septic system. It comes out and then pitchforks and has multiple lines running into the buffer. So, instead of going out 500 feet in either direction and having a total of 1,000 feet that you’re treating, we can have three lines going out that same distance, so in theory we can treat three times as much water.” The pitchfork design features three lines of 520 feet each. The tile lines are centered by a control structure with an inlet and an outlet. “So, we’re treating more area with this new design than we are on the original saturated buffer design. The hope is we’re going to push more water out, divert more water,” Schoonover said. The west side of the field features a 6.5-acre area that’s tile drained with pattern tile and connected to a control structure and into the standard saturated buffer. The east side of the field is 19.3 acres with a pitchfork design running across the south end of the field that includes three tile lines. “We put on a backflow valve to prevent any flow from coming back from diversion lines and we also added a shutoff valve to the outermost pitchfork so we could shut that water off, not push anymore out so that part of the field could dry for the farmer to get in and plant,” he said. “The cost of the pitchfork design was about $6,000 to install compared to the $4,000 to install the original saturated buffer design, but on a per-acre basis the new design is actually cheaper to install because it’s treating 19 acres versus six acres.” As part of the research, flow is measured in the mid-

dle chamber and the diversion lines. The outflow also is measured in each of the three pitchfork chambers. “We do routine sampling so every time we visit the site we sample the tile outlets and we’re also trying to do storm sample so we’re chasing some of the bigger events to see what’s happening, what’s getting pushed out during storm flows. We have an ISCO automatic sampler on the inlet and another on the outlet,” Schoonover said. Preliminar y findings from data collected Oct. 28, 2019, to Jan. 14, 2020: Q For both buffers, nitrate losses at the tile outlets during routine sampling were about 11 pounds

per acre per year while dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) losses were relatively low at about .12 pounds per acre per year. Q During storm events, the standard buffer dispersion lines consistently contributed water back towards the control structure (about 28-35 gallons per hour per acre), while the pitchfork buffer dispersed 15-16 gallons per hour per acre, suggesting that backflow valves were important in tile systems with fluctuating water tables and elevated seasonal flow. Q Storm events loads for DRP and nitrate increased (11-235%) in the saturated buffer and decrease in the

Q The data focused on the fallow time of the year and patterns will likely shift as soil temperatures rise, antecedent soil moisture changes, and crop demands increase. “This data for both stud-

ies is preliminary. This is all going to change was we get the pollinators that we planted in the buﬀer. As that starts transpiring and taking up water, assimilating nitrogen, I expect those monitoring well volumes to go down. I expect

it to dry up quite a bit,” he concluded. Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@agrinewspubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews_ Doran.

Sangamon ‘three-peats’ as yield king Late planting took its toll on corn and soybean production By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON – Sangamon County led Illinois in average corn and soybean yields last year but neither yields reached the top levels of 2018. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agr icultural Statistics Service released the annual county production estimates Feb. 20. This marked the third consecutive year Sangamon County led the Prairie State in average soybean yields, hitting 65.5 bushels per acre in 2019. The county averaged 82.3 bushels per acre in 2018, and 70.3 in 2017. Rounding out the top five counties for average soybean yields were Carroll, 64.7; Morgan, 64.1; and Macon and Tazewell, 63.8 each. McLean was once again the leading soybean-producing county in Illinois at 18.123 million bushels, down from 20.531 million in 2018. Other top producers were Livingston, 16.121 million (16.856 million in 2018); Champaign, 13.539 million (17.018 million in 2018); La Salle, 13.315 million (16.835 million in 2018); and Iroquois, 12.391 million (16.012 million in 2018). Sangamon County earned the state’s top corn yield honors, averaging 206.3 bushels per acre, 30.1 bushels below 2018 when it ranked fifth in Illinois. The county averaged 224.4 bushels per acre in 2017. Among the remaining top Illinois counties for corn yield averages were Carroll, 206.1; Morgan, 205.8; and Cass and Tazewell, 205.6 each. McLean County continued to lead the state in corn production, har vesting 61.712 million bushels in 2019, compared to 71.542 million the previous year. C ha mpa ig n r a n ked second in total corn production at 48.918 million bushels after hitting 60.183 million in 2018. Rounding out the top five were Livingston, 46.927 million (61.012 million in 2018); Iroquois, 45.786 million (61.356 million in 2018); and La Salle, 42.723 million (60.09 million in 2018). Poor early-season conditions and late planting took its toll on the state’s corn and soybean production

and that’s evident by the year-over-year numbers. Only seven counties surpassed the 200 bushels per acre corn yield averages in 2019 after nearly half of Illinois’ counties topped 200 during the record-breaking 2018 season. Seventeen counties surpassed 70 bushels per acre in 2018 and none this past season. Illinois corn averaged 181 bushels per acre in 2019, the lowest since the 175 bushels per acre average in 2015. The state produced just over 1.846 billion bushels across 10.2 million harvested acres. Illinois soybeans averaged 54 bushels per acre, the lowest since 2013 when the average was 50 bushels per acre. The state produced 532.44 million bushels on 9.86 million harvested soybean acres. In 2018, Illinois had a record average soybean yield average of 63.5 bushels per acre, producing a nation-leading 666.75 million bushels on 10.5 mil-

lion harvested acres. The corn yield record also was shattered in 2018 with an average of 210 bushels per acre that produced 2.268 billion bushels on 10.8 million harvested acres. Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@agrinewspubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews_ Doran.

Varieties, processing among hemp challenges By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SYCAMORE, Ill. — As growers prepare for the second year of growing industrial hemp, it is difficult for agronomists to recommend specific varieties for Illinois fields. “Currently, there are no Illinois bred varieties,” said Phillip Alberti, University of Illinois Extension commercial agriculture educator. “We’re taking genetics from other places and planting them in an area they were not bred for,” Alberti explained during a presentation at the Introduction to Industrial Hemp meeting organized by the University of Illinois Extension in Sycamore. “We don’t have plants that can fully optimize our growing conditions.” Varieties that are available to licensed Illinois growers are grown in places such as Colorado, Oregon, the European Union or Canada, Alberti said. “We’re not sure how they are going to respond here, so we have a lot of work to do to develop breeding programs,” he said. Both industrial hemp and marijuana are cannabis plants. “What makes them different is the amount of the THC concentration in them,” Alberti said. Hemp is primarily dioecious which, means it has separate male and female plants, and that is

grain or fiber processing plants in the Midwest,” Alberti said. “We are way behind Canada and the European Union that have established companies for processing and manufacturing of hemp, so we are importing hemp products that are used in clothing.” Illinois farmers can choose to grow hemp for grain, fiber or CBD. “Growing hemp for grain or fiber uses production systems that most represent Illinois growers because they are similar to row crops,” Alberti said. “Growing for CBD or flower production is NEXT STEPS Processing of hemp also more like a specialty crop such as vegetables or cut is an issue in Illinois. “Currently, there are no flowers.” Hemp that will be harvested for fiber is FARMLAND AUCTION chopped, baled and sent to a processor.

Alberti explained there are different types of cannabis plants. “Sativa plants are bred from more temperate climates, and the plants are taller and have thinner leaves,” he said. “Indica plants are shorter in stature with broader leaves, and they are bred in cooler climates.”

compressed and used as a biofuel.” Hemp seed oil is produced when the hemp seeds are cold pressed and the oil is extracted. “It’s high in protein, fatty acids and Omega 3s,” Alberti said. “The hemp seed oil is used as an additive to shakes and smoothies, and you will find it in the health food section of stores.” C a n nabi noids are produced in the flower of un-pollinated hemp plants. “There are close to over 100 types, most of which we don’t know what they do,” Alberti said. “Cannabinoids bind to the receptors in your body and elicit a response.” “If the female plants are pollinated, they produce seed and the cannabinoid production shuts down, so that is why the males must be culled in a CBD production operation,” he said. Consumers are looking for specific tastes or smells with the CBD products they are purchasing. “The plant produces terpenes and flavonoids, which are the taste and smell compounds,” Alberti said.

GOOD START A lber t i encou r a ges farmers to plant hemp in highly productive fields that are well drained with low weed pressure. “The plant doesn’t like standing in water,” he said. “Early season washouts were devastating for crops in 2019.” Plant hemp seeds when the soil temperature is higher than 50 degrees, Alberti said, and pay attention to planting depth. “I saw a 100-acre field get wasted last year because it was planted too deep or before a rain and the soil crusted over so the emergence was terrible,” he said. Hemp will germinate and emerge quickly with favorable conditions. “I saw fields up in the first week,” Alberti said. “Once the plants pop out of the ground, it has a slow growth phase where there is a lot more below ground growth than above ground.” This period, Alberti stressed, is a critical weed control period. “There are no herbicides labeled for this crop,” he said. “So, you need to have weed control methods like cover crops, tillage or mowing.” After 30 days, the plant goes into a rapid growth phase accumulating size before it flowers. “If you are a CBD grower you are out in the fields scouting and culling the male plants from about Aug. 1 to Aug. 20,” Alberti said. “Male plants are resilient and re-rooting is a problem, so you should get the whole plant out of the field.” Hemp for fiber plants reach maturity about late July, and hemp grown for grain is typically harvested during the end of September, Alberti said. “CBD hemp is harvested about the end of September or the first week of October,” he said.

Signs of Commitment to conservation distress COMMODITY CLASSIC

Growers earn Legacy Award

Reserve Program and the Conservation Stewardship Program. They have paid for about half of the conservation structures built on their farm on their own. “We’ve never been afraid to spend money on our ground,” Mike said. “It’s just a long-term project and a long-term payoff.”

By James Henry

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SAN ANTONIO — Cover crops are grown on every acre farmed by Susan and Mike Brocksmith, regional winners of the 2020 Conservation Legacy Award at Commodity Classic in San Antonio. Cereal rye is now growing beneath the snow. It will be 4 to 6 feet tall when the Brocksmiths plant soybeans in May or June. They also have added gradient terraces, grassed waterways, rock chutes, drop boxes and more than 150 water and sediment control basins. “One of our big mission statements is to make what we have even better for future generations. The no-till, the cover crops have allowed us to do that,” Susan said. “Today, we can see the tilth has come back. We can see more nutrients in our soils. It’s better. Our dirt is providing more nutrients than before because of those living organisms. Keeping Mother Nature working for us the best that we can has really made a difference to our soils.” That difference is especially visible when it rains and the water that drains from their fields in the ditch is clear and not nearly as brown, Susan said. “Those are the important things when we’re looking to the future and making sure future generations have a vibrant soil to work with,” she said.

Susan and Mike Brocksmith of Vincennes, Indiana, are all smiles while holding their 2020 Conservation Legacy Award in the American Soybean Association exhibit at Commodity Classic in San Antonio. The national program is designed to recognize the outstanding environmental and conservation achievement of soybean farmers, which helps produce more sustainable U.S. soybeans, and is sponsored by ASA, BASF, Bayer, the United Soybean Board and Valent.

A LEGACY OF LEARNING The Brocksmiths farm in southwest Indiana on mainly clay hills with some sandy ground. Most of their land is highly erodible. “Our farm had its first no-till corn in 1977 and we’ve been working on no-till ever since and we’ve been continuous notill since 1990 and are pretty well continuous cover crops, as well,” Mike said. He said his dad, Paul, was the “ultimate conservationist,” building terraces and waterways every year. Heavy in livestock farming, the family started no-till to save labor, but eventually realized its other economic and agronomic benefits. “When we really started working at it, we had to travel a long ways to get information because there wasn’t much available locally. We were lucky we got hooked up with other farmers, mainly in northern Indiana, who were trying to do the same

thing we were,” Mike said. “It’s been a really good experience. We’ve remained friends with those folks.” In the 1990s, Mike recalled, an informal group of farmers gathered a few times a year at a restaurant or café in central Indiana to exchange information about no-till. Early on, he said, his family also read information from the Rodale Institute, which researched cover crops, not just organic farming. “For us, the biggest changes have been through technology. The planter attachments and the new equipment to make no-till easier has been dramatic — that along with improved herbicides, Roundup being approved, Roundup Ready crops, and other herbicides and then the cover crops, which really became popular in the last 10 years or so and they just fit right into the system,” he said. “Now, everybody can write a prescription on their iPad off their own yield map.”

NEW TECHNOLOGY The Brocksmiths have adopted new technology quickly. “We had our first yield monitor in 1995, which probably was the first one in the county, and have been variable rate fertilizer application since the late ‘90s,” Mike said. That has made the Brocksmiths better farmers, enabling them to put the right things in the right places. “Technology has made us better environmentally,” Mike said, citing variable rate fertilizer, as well as row shutoffs and spray boom section control. “There’s stuff that we couldn’t do.” Their conservation legacy has been a journey. “You can’t just jump in. It’s taken us 40 years to get to where we’re at today — and we’re still learning,” Susan said. “And it’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint. It’s been a long-term investment.” There is no recipe for every farm. That standard also keeps evolving. “Things we knew were right two years ago, well, Mother Nature showed us this year that wasn’t right,” Mike said. “But the thing I’m probably most proud of is in a tough year like 2019, or 2012, we realized our ground is more resilient and it’s more dependable. We had good crops in 2019. It was a struggle, but we had good crops.” The Brocksmiths have participated in government costshare and technical assistance programs such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the Conservation

SHARING THEIR STORY What’s their advice for other growers? “Start small and easy and find a mentor,” Mike said. “There’s people that will help. We don’t want people to make the same mistakes we’ve made.” “Find your farm’s recipe, what works for you,” Susan added. They have worked closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and were one of the original 12 hub farms of the Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative. “We wouldn’t be where we’re at today without all these associations to use as a sounding board or, ‘Hey, what do you know about this?’” Susan said. “It’s going to take the connectedness that we have in agriculture, for everyone to work together, to make this work.” While they have hosted events with 200 guests in their farm shop, Mike said the best thing they have done is share their experiences with others in small roundtable meetings with only 20 people. Every year, they have also hosted students from local high schools and from Vincennes University, where Susan is a professor. “If we can get these in the minds of young people, it will only make it easier in the future,” she said. “They have seen some of this and will say, ‘Hey can we try this back on the farm?’” Their own future goals include becoming even more comfortable with cover crops, installing pollinator plots on the farm and continuing to promote conservation and agriculture. Susan shared a message to other mothers: “I care about the environment. I want this world to be here in even better shape. I want my food to be safe for my children and future grandchildren. We as farmers are very aware because we work with that land, we work with those animals. This is our livelihood. It’s also our health that we’re worried about.” James Henry can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 190, or jhenry@agrinews-pubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews.

Planning underway for Fall Harvest Days By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

ROCK ISLAND, Ill. – When it comes to farm shows focused on vintage farm machinery, the best way to get the word out and get participants isn’t text, Snapchat or email. “It takes a huge amount of footwork, face to face, not all Facebook or emails or phone calls. It’s face to face. Can you bring this to our show? I’ll bring my stuff to your show, you bring yours to my show. That’s how you get good shows,” said Kevin Bos. Bos, owner of Bos Brothers Farm Repair, and his brother, Chuck, were getting the word out face to face at another farm show, the 2020 Quad Cities Farm Show. T he Bos Brothers Fall Harvest Days are scheduled for Sept. 11-13, at the Bos Brothers Historical Farm near Erie. The brothers had a lot to talk about to visitors at the farm show who stopped for more information. The first thing people wanted to know about was the red-andwhite barn at their farm show booth. “I built the miniature barn. I just built it. I had the idea last year but I didn’t get it done. The outside boards are from an old barn in Chadwick, the beams are from a barn in Erie. Other than the roof tin, the rest of it is repurposed,” Kevin said. The 8-by-10-foot barn attracted plenty of inquiries for its potential as a future “she shed.” The next question? No, he doesn’t plan to make any more. “I don’t want to get into the barn-building business,” Kevin said. He said he had enough on his plate with his business, as farmers continued to tie up loose ends from the 2019 crop year and then get ready for the 2020

AGRINEWS PHOTO/JEANNINE OTTO

Even though spring planting was still far away at the 2020 Quad Cities Farm Show, Chuck Bos answered questions about his and brother Kevin’s September 2020 Bos Brothers Fall Harvest Days. This is the first year for the show at their new site in rural Erie. The portable barn, built from repurposed barn boards and beams, will make an appearance at the September show. planting season. “We’ve got some leftover combine repairs that people want to get done. I’ve got guys who are so far behind that they were chisel plowing in January, trying to finish up. People don’t think about repairs until they’ve got the crop year’s stuff done,” Kevin said. Their own harvest show will celebrate several firsts in September. “This is the first time we’ve actually featured a brand,” he said. John Deere will be the featured brand for the show. “We’re going to bring in some Deere stuff that you might not

normally see at a show.” The 2020 show will take place in a new location, just down the road from its former location. “We have a permanent show site, 8105 Springhill Road in Erie. It’s near the old show site. Previously, we were on borrowed ground. They let us use it so we had to be cautious about what we plant, how we plant it. The guy loaning us the ground had to make money so we just had to do what we could,” Kevin said. They purchased ground to be a permanent site for the show that brings in vintage farm equipment from tractors to corn pickers and other equipment

that was used around farms and rural homes. The advantage of having their own site is that the crop they plant – corn this year – can be planted to accommodate the vintage corn pickers and tractors that will harvest it. “Some of it can be planted with thinner populations so that the old machines can better handle it,” he said. One factor that sets the Bos harvest show apart is that visitors can see the equipment harvesting the crop and can then follow the crop from field to table on site. “Our aim is to not only preserve and demonstrate the machinery but to educate. One thing that sets our show apart is we go from a standing crop, whether it’s wheat or corn. We harvest the crop. We take the grain out, either through threshing wheat or shelling corn, clean the grain, grind it into flour or meal. Then we have a cook shack and a lady that bakes bread in an antique stove from the grain that we harvest and mill. You can stand there with a warm slice of wheat bread or cornbread in your hand and be able to have seen all the steps it took to get there,” Chuck Bos said. Admission to the show is free and the Bos brothers plan to keep it that way. “We don’t ever plan to charge a gate fee. I feel bad that younger families with kids, that actually need the education, should be condemned not to go because they can’t afford a gate fee. We’re trying to get sponsors, individual and corporate sponsors, to help us run the show. That way, everybody can see it and get some education about farming and food production,” Kevin said. For more information, to bring equipment or to become a sponsor, contact Kevin Bos at 309-945-8117 or Chuck Bos at 309-781-6394.

Focus on farm mental health By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MALTA, Ill. — How are you feeling, really? I’m worried about you. You haven’t been yourself lately. Are you depressed? I’ve noticed you’ve been unhappy lately. Have you thought about suicide? “The start of the conversation is often the hardest part, but it’s really the most important,” said Dr. Josie Rudolphi, speaking on the topic she presented at the 2020 Illinois Crop Management Conference sponsored by the University of Illinois Extension in Malta. Along with the farm management topics presented by her U of I Extension colleagues — soybean cyst nematodes, weather and the 2019 and Rudolphi 2020 planting seasons, corn hybrids and herbicide resistance — Rudolphi discussed how to recognize stress and manage stress and mental health in the farm sector. “We see mental health concerns across all farm commodity sectors right now. It’s been a tough couple of years for almost every commodity in the U.S.,” she said. Rudolphi, who joined the U of I in July 2019, has focused her research program on farmer mental health and recognizing the unique situations associated with farmer mental health. “We talk about identifying and spotting symptoms of mental distress, whether they are physical, behavioral or emotional. It’s really a toolkit on what people need in order to help if they notice a family member, a friend, coworker or business associate seems to be in distress,” she said. Starting that conversation can be difficult. It usually is precipitated by family or friends noticing sustained changes in someone’s behavior or mood. “What we can look for are changes in behavior or emotion. It might be really intense mood swings, people get easily agitated or easily irritated, people who have lost interest in things they once enjoyed or someone whose mood has changed drastically,” Rudolphi said. Noticing and noting those changes over a length of time is important. “A bad day is a bad day, but has it been a bad month or a bad season? You really want to look to see how their behavior has changed and how long have you noticed that change,” Rudolphi said. Once the conversation is started, people shouldn’t be afraid to ask the toughest question. “If someone is especially distraught, don’t be afraid to ask the question if they’ve considered suicide or if they have thought about self harm,” Rudolphi said. She recommended keeping the phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Helpline in your phone or keeping a card with the number handy. Primary care physicians can be helpful in providing initial care, then referrals and help with insurance networks. “One of the best lines of defense is to see their primary care physician, if they have one and if that’s available for them. A lot of these physicians have training in mental health, and they are able to screen, diagnose and prescribe, if necessary. Another benefit is they will help you navigate the mental health services that are available in your insurance network,” Rudolphi said. Help can be as close as a family member, friend or clergy. “I think we shouldn’t discount how therapeutic it is to talk to your loved ones and friends,” Rudolphi said.

Break the ice for winter fun By Donna Erickson

When the forecast calls for rain, sleet, snow or frigid sub-zero temps like we’ve experienced lately, don’t let old man winter keep you inside. Try something new with your kids that you’ll never forget — like ice ﬁshing. That’s exactly what Meg Bertas, mom of 3-yearold Julian and 5-year-old Sylvie, decided to do a couple of weeks ago. Lured by a “Winter Kite Festival” on a frozen metro lake, they went out in the single-digit temps to be part of the scene — and what a winter wonderland it was. “Hibernation isn’t an option this time of year,” said Meg as she patiently untangled her kids’ ﬁshing lines that were dangling in a 10-inchwide hole in the ice. “It’s important to remember there’s community outside the four walls of our

It can be as easy as walking to the neighborhood bakery, visiting the library and checking out a week’s supply of reading, or meeting another family for a favorite activity. Q For something novel, blow bubbles in the freezing air. Watch them bounce and sparkle. Take a night walk with flashlights or cross-country ski with older kids under a full moon for a wild adventure. Q Check online for free and reasonably priced events at your local park, regional nature center or arboretum. It’s important to get kids to experience the changes of seasons in different venues, and wintertime provides fun new discoveries of plant and wildlife. Q Teach your child something that you enjoyed doing as kid, and rediscover that joy when you are together. Build a snow fort, snowshoe, ice skate, hike, take photos of outdoor scenes and people, or build a campfire and toast marshmallows.

Having a reason to look forward to the next day is a key for senior happiness.

Where do you fall on happiness spectrum? By Matilda Charles

What makes us happy as we get older? Below are the results of an informal poll of seniors at the local coffee shop. Q Having enough income. It turns out that many who are living only on Social Security can have enough to make it through the month if they made wise decisions before retiring. Paying off the mortgage is a big one. Q Being listened to, or at least not being disregarded. There’s something about aging that seems to make us melt into the background, and if we have opinions or comments, people don’t always listen. Medical staff seem to rank very high on this list of people who really aren’t listening. Being heard is important. Q Freedom. This comes in many forms. It might mean continuing to drive; it might mean watching only what we want on television. Q Having a social life. For some of us that might mean being part of

a group that meets regularly. For others it might mean talking to friends on the phone daily. Q Laughing. Finding something amusing every day ranked high on the list of what makes us happy. Sometimes it was reading the next page of a joke-a-day calendar. Sometimes it was talking to a friend who had a great, skewed view of the world. Q Having a reason to get up every day. Whether it’s a hobby, a good book or a social gathering, having a reason to look forward to the next day was key. And what does it mean if we’re happy? A study monitored 3,000 seniors over the course of eight years to see how happiness impacted physical function. Researchers found that happy people decline more slowly. Conversely, unhappy people were three times more likely to develop health problems. Where do you fall on the happiness spectrum? © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

Lifestyle ANTIQUES & COLLECTING

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

90-pound chemo patient should stop fasting By Dr. Keith Roach

By the late 1800s, inexpensive novelty salt and pepper shakers were popular, such as this baseball glove set.

Shakers worth their salt Terry and Kim Kovel

Looking for an inexpensive, amusing collection for a small display area in your house? Or perhaps an item to encourage your children to be collectors and go to antiques shows with you? Kids can learn a lot about prices, money and history without a cellphone. Salt and pepper shakers come in all sizes and prices, but the figural ceramic ones are the most fun for a beginner. Salt cakes into a lump in damp weather, so in the 1700s, salt was served in a small dish with a tiny spoon. Pepper was in a tall shaker or a caster. Most were made in thin pear shapes or cylinders. They usually were glass or silver. But by the late 1800s, inexpensive novelty sets were popular, in shapes that did not match the dinnerware. Sports were popular, with ball and bat or mitt and glove sets. McCoy made a set from two different vegetables. There might be a Dutch girl and a windmill, or a pair of dogs. Animals and birds, fruit, miniature furniture, even toys or typewriters, movie stars and celebrities were inspirations for salt

and pepper sets. You could tell which was the salt because it had at least five holes in the cap; the pepper had one or two. The salt often had a few grains of rice in the container to keep the salt dry. Glass sets were the rage in the 1930s. You can find clear bottles with metal caps, McKee glass art deco square sets in amber, a green glass called jadeite, or ball-shaped ceramic sets to match Fiesta or Harlequin dinnerware. Enesco imported sets that look like mice or snails. Holt-Howard made pixies. Pick a theme and enjoy the hunt. Most sets cost less than $20. CURRENT PRICES Pirkenhammer figurine, woman, kneeling, nude, arms on head, white, 1900s, 7 x 4 inches, $30. Lindbergh badge, photo button, airplane illustration, American flag ribbon, Minnesota’s own, 3 1/4 inches, $145. Kate Greenaway match safe, silver, girls sitting on fence, field, flowers, gold washed interior, 2 x 1/14 inches, $245. © 2020 King Features Synd., Inc.

My daughter-in-law has stage 1 breast cancer and has just started her chemotherapy. I am concerned about her decision to fast for two days before and one day after each treatment. She weighs only 90 pounds, and fasting while you are trying to fight cancer does not sound like a good idea. What is your opinion of fasting during chemotherapy? In theory, fasting may make cancer cells more susceptible to chemother-

apy, and there have been studies in mice suggesting this approach might have value. However, during chemotherapy, the whole body needs good-quality nutrition, and I could not recommend fasting for someone who weighs so little, nor could I recommend two full days of fasting before chemotherapy. Until there is clear evidence that intermittent fasting is of benefit, I don’t recommend it. Your daughter-in-law, in

DID YOU TILE?

particular, is not a good candidate, being so very thin, assuming she is of near-normal height. My teen likes vegetables and eats right. He also drinks a lot of water, works out and doesn’t like soda. He and my sister have chronic constipation. They both now take a magnesium supplement and feel great. Is that OK? Magnesium is a common and safe treatment for constipation. A healthy diet, exercise and drinking plenty of water

are good ideas for anyone with constipation, but some people do need additional help. I have previously mentioned prunes, or prune juice, as an option, but magnesium, if taken at a dose to ensure regular, but not excessive bowel movements, is a fine treatment.

Deereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ExactRate controls liquid fertilizer application OLATHE, Kan. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; As input costs continue to rise, farmers are looking for ways to enhance their planting equipment to provide precise placement and reduce inputs when possible. To address this concern John Deere has introduced ExactRate, a factory-installed option that precisely monitors and controls the application of liquid fertilizer during planting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ExactRate gives operators row-by-row section control to help reduce fertilizer costs and the amount of chemicals applied by shutting off application in areas of overlap or non-appli-

cation,â&#x20AC;? said Ryan Hough, marketing manager for planting and seeding for John Deere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using ExactRate, customers can follow the 4R Principles of Nutrient Stewardship by applying the right product, at the right rate, at the right time and in the right place.â&#x20AC;? ExactRate is compatible with select models of John Deere planters with electric drive including the 1775NT, 1795, DB60, DB 44 and DB66 Planters. Thanks to its hydraulic-driven pump, ExactRate can be operated at maximum speeds up to 10 mph, enabling operators to plant

up to 5.9 more acres per hour. ExactRate apps are fully compatible with the John Deere 4640 Universal Display and 4600CommandCenter and provide in-cab flow detection and infield documentation for operators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;ExactRate compensates for both commanded rate changes and speed changes. It also provides curve compensation. This helps ensure growers apply the right rates across their fields, including entry and exit of headlands,â&#x20AC;? Hough said. John Deere will start taking orders for ExactRate beginning in June.

ExactRate can be operated at maximum speeds up to 10 mph.

FarmServer program a scouting tool for farmers By Ashley Langreck AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A big part of agriculture today is the use of technology, as well as finding ways to continue to implement it into the future of the industry. Nate Rottero, a precision farming field adviser with Beck’s Hybrids, said that the topic of why precision agriculture matters and how can one implement it on their own farm operation is a hot one amongst farmers. “Common questions I get are: What do I do with yield maps? How can I make money with them?” Rottero said. Rottero said that farmers can use the yield maps to find the fastest ways to increase return on investment on their farm by locating the red areas on the map, because they are a waste of time and money to farm. “Stop farming acres that don’t make the grade,” Rottero said, adding that farmers will lose more money to plant those acres than they would get back in revenue. Rottero said one way farmers can better utilize a field map is through Beck’s FarmServer program, which is a scouting

tool that takes pictures, notes, drops pins and does stand counts. FarmServer Rottero allows farmers to look at where they are plus or minus dollars in a field and where red areas are, so they can identify why they are that color and try to find a solution. Rottero said farms can take data from a low-yielding field and figure out how to prevent another low yield in the future.

Successful show season Junior exhibitor sets goal to win points program

Checkoff sets growth agenda

By Martha Blum AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — It took a team eﬀort for Melinda Braun to reach her goal to become the Illinois Beef Association Points Show Program winner. “It really all started last year at the Illinois Beef Expo,” said Melinda Braun. “I had two Hereford heifers in the grand drive out of four and I won the Champion Polled Hereford heifer award. “My brot her, Tyler, and I always set a yearly goal and I really wanted to chase the points and win it because I knew I was going to have a good year,” said the daughter of Bryan and Lisa Braun. “We tried our best and won, which is so exciting.” Braun received a $1,000 check from the Illinois Beef Association during a presentation at the Illinois Beef Expo. IBA recognized the following junior exhibitors during the event:

The Braun family owns a 50-head registered Hereford cowherd. “We’re calving now and we have fall calving, too,” the junior exhibitor said. “My two heifers I showed last year just had bull calves.” Some of their steers they sell to area 4-Hers to show and they also sell steers as freezer beef and on the fed market. “My mom showed cattle when she was in 4-H so she’s had cattle for about 40 years now,” Braun said. “And my brother showed calves and I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps.” During the 2019 show season, Braun showed two Hereford heifers and two Simmental heifers. “We showed all over going from the top of the state to the bottom and I think we went to about 13 shows,” said Braun, 21. In addition to the Illinois Beef Expo, Braun exhibited her cattle at jackpot shows, county fairs, the Illinois

Hereford Preview Show and both the Illinois State Fair and the DuQuoin State Fair. “It took a crew including lots of friends,” Braun stated. “My mom and brother couldn’t go everywhere, so I tagged along sometimes with other people but we always got it done.” At the Illinois State Fair, Braun showed the Reserve Champion Polled Hereford heifer. “I won with my bred and owned heifer and that was really exciting because I raised her,” she said. “At DuQuoin I showed the Reserve Champion Hereford heifer and ﬁfth overall.” At county fairs last year, Braun won lots of classes with her heifers as well as breed champion honors and Supreme heifer awards. “I love the competitiveness of showing, seeing new places and meeting new people,” she said. Braun obtained her associate degree in science from Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville and currently attends Southern Illinois Universit y at Edwardsville, where she is studying accounting and business management. “I really want to work for an accounting ﬁrm,” Braun said about her career goal. “And my end goal is to work for our family’s oil company. I work there now as a secretary and I plan to take that over one day.” For more information about the Illinois Beef Expo, go to www.illinoisbeeef.com.

DES MOINES, Iowa — U.S. pork exports finished 2019 on a high note, setting new records for both value and volume, according to statistics released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation. For the year, 5.89 billion pounds of U.S. pork and pork variety meats valued at $6.952 billion were exported to countries around the world, up 10% and 9% respectively from 2018. Pork exports accounted for 26.9% of total 2019 U.S. pork production. Export value per head averaged $53.51, up 4% from 2018. “China was the main driver for the recordbreaking pace of U.S. pork exports in 2019,” said David Newman, a pig farmer representing Arkansas and president of the National Pork Board. “We are poised to help fill China’s protein gap caused by the country’s African swine fever outbreak. But we’re also focused on recapturing lost market share with key customers and investing in research to develop emerging markets.” While exports to China were higher in 2019, key U.S. pork customers, including Japan, the No. 1 in value, and Mexico, the No. 1 in volume, saw significant declines as the United States worked to negotiate new trade deals

with each country. Japan has historically been the leading market for U.S. pork in terms of value, as well as the leading destination for U.S. chilled, never frozen pork loins. In 2019, the U.S. held 46% of Japan’s market for chilled pork, down from 70% in 2017, according to Norman Bessac, vice president of international marketing. “With Japan as the most important U.S. market, the Pork Checkoff has brought key stakeholders and thought leaders together on a task force to lead marketing eﬀorts there,” Bessac said. “The checkoff investment in the task force and subsequent programs, promotions and educational events will help build Japan’s conﬁdence in U.S. pork and allow exporters to recapture lost market share.” Mexico remains the top market for U.S. pork by volume, with over 1.56 billion pounds of pork and pork variety meat exported in 2019. “The majority of pork and pork variety meat exported to Mexico is bone-in hams,” Bessac said. “This is a great market, but there’s an opportunity to expand the product mix and to add value for U.S. pig farmers.” Recently, the Pork Checkoff secured grant funds through the Foreign Ag Service Quality Samples Program and the Emerging Markets Program to help customers in Mexico develop new uses for pork loins.

Soybean varieties boost bottom line Higher livestock feed values hike inclusion rates BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — Widespread planting of soybean varieties that are low in livestock feed value is one of the driving forces behind the alarming 70% drop in soy-inclusion rates for U.S. swine feed rations since 1990, according to checkoff-funded research. As long as these lower-value soybeans continue to be planted, producers and the soybean industry will see quality and livestock feed sales continue to decline, according to the Illinois Soybean Association. The inverse also is true. If more farmers planted only soybean varieties that feature higher livestock feed value scores, then market-share erosion could be thwarted. To help make this happen, the soybean checkoff is providing livestock feed-value scores for a wide range of soybean varieties that can be accessed at soyvalue.com. The bottom line is that elevating soybean feed value can help to recapture some feed-market share from the synthetic amino acids and corn byproducts that have replaced soybean meal in swine rations. The makers of synthetic amino acids are not backing off in their quest to increase their own feed-market share. So, which soybean varieties offer the best livestock nutritional value? That information is readily available to soybean producers thanks to extensive, multiyear research and analysis of more than 50,000 soybean samples conducted by the Illinois Soybean Association and the soybean checkoff as part of ISA’s High Yield Plus

Quality initiative. It’s the amino acid levels in soybeans — not protein — that determine livestock feed value and drive animal growth, productivity and profitability. Using that criteria, the rankings of soybean varieties range from 1, the lowest, to 10, the highest. A value score at or above 5.5 represents the varieties that have higher-than-average livestock nutritional value. “Information about livestock feed values on the variety level is currently not included in many seed company catalogs, but we expect that to change as both producers and seed companies become more aware of its importance,” said Linda Kull, ISA director of ag innovations. “Planting the higher-quality soybeans is the very important first step to improve the lost-marketshare situation for soy inclusion in swine feed.” Fortunately, seed companies are beginning to take a closer look at livestock feed values and encouraging their customers to do likewise. “In addition to yield potential and agronomic traits, feed value should be taken into account as part of the variety-selection process,” said Chuck Hill, specialty products manager at AgReliant Genetics, which sells under the AgriGold and LG Seeds seed brands. “The good news is that many growers are already planting these varieties with high feed value for a number of reasons.” AgriGold and LG Seeds, for example, have more than 20 varieties in their portfolios for 2020 planting that meet the HY+Q criteria for designation as superior varieties for livestock feed.

Best practices for your farm Over a century ago, U.S. farms focused on subsistence crops. Farmers would grow the minimum necessary to feed their families and livestock. Today, most U.S. farms grow cash crops as a way of generating additional income to support Brian Philpot their families and pay off farm debt. The evolution of larger, AgAmerica cash crop farming operations has led to higher profitability and commodity diversity within the market, but with it comes a new set of challenges as the industry continues to evolve. One challenge is a long-term decline in farm labor. Factors associated with this challenge include high real estate prices, steep upfront investment costs, volatile commodity pricing, unpredictable weather, higher hourly wages and an increase in immigration regulation. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, the number of self-employed and family farm workers dropped 73% from 1950 to 2000. The number of hired help declined 52% during the same period, a loss of 1.3 million workers. This steady decline in farm labor is putting additional pressure on primary operators to not only find alternative options to keep up with production, but also maximize profits while minimizing costs. Some of the most proven effective farming practices include reaching out to your local network for real number estimates. Before making business decisions like upgrading equipment or growing new crops, do the research. Search online for statistics from credible sources. Ask questions about profit margins and average sales prices. Taking the time to do your research now can prevent costly mistakes in the future. Documenting and monitoring performance is vital in understanding what is and isn’t working for a farming operation. Key performance indicator audits help to understand assets and liabilities. It’s important to record all purchases and keep track of unexpected costs as well as gains. Keep track of these KPI indicators to measure long-term performance: n Operating profit margin. n Asset turnover ratio. n Return on assets. n Return on equity. n Sustainable growth rate. KPI audits can be compared annually, monthly, and quarterly to optimize profitability. A business plan helps farmers identify their strongest and weakest parts of their operation. An updated business plan is also useful when applying for a loan and should include: n Objectives and goals. n Company history and background. n Ownership and management structure. n Financial analysis. n A marketing plan. Many farmers are diversifying crops to spread out economic risk. It builds resilience to factors outside of the farmer’s control, like unpredictable weather and climate change. Diversification also reduces soil erosion and overall environmental impact. Successful farming operators keep the future in mind. Individual retirement accounts, simplified employee pensions and savings incentive match plans for employees are all examples of possible retirement plan options for agribusiness owners. Alternative lending companies like AgAmerica, provide flexible options to secure working capital that helps make ends meet in hard times and build a legacy in the good. This type of financing allows for a level of customization specifically designed for agriculture that remains unmatched by traditional banks. Advancement in farming technology will continue to increase to combat labor shortages. According to the American Farm Bureau, 56% of farms have already begun using agritech machinery within the last five years. Wireless sensors, predictive forecasting models and robotic data analytics are among the most common agritech upgrades. Experts anticipate the demand for agritech to continue as our nation’s farmers look for more efficient ways to support a rapidly growing global population.

The long and short of it If you’re a farmer or rancher, you might be in for a bad day when you open your Monday morning email and five of the six headlines sent by an ag news service read: n “USDA declares Farm & Food Brazilian beef safe, lifts (U.S. import) ban.” File n “GAO launches investigation into Trump Alan Guebert aid to farmers.” n “China could purchase much less U.S. farm product than thought, new USDA estimate suggests.” n “As Trump heads to India, a trade deal appears elusive.” n “In all-caps tweet, Trump vows new farm bailouts as China purchases appear weaker than promised.” Those Monday, Feb. 24, headlines were, in fact, an iceberg that global markets might have steered around if the really big event of the previous weekend, the spread of China’s coronavirus, had not ballooned. By mid-morning that day, market bears had taken 16.5-cent per bushel out of May soybean futures and 5 cents out of May corn futures. May wheat was clipped for 17 cents and both cattle and hog futures dropped nearly $3 per hundredweight. Those cuts, however, were skinned knees compared to the slashing the Dow Jones Industrial Average took

that day; it dropped 1,036 points, or 3.6%, just its third 1,000-pointdrop in history. It took another hit the next day, down another 879 points. Interestingly, after the first day, farm commodities failed to follow the Dow down. Turnaround Tuesday, an event so common it has its own name with traders, brought some stability — no change in corn, hog, and wheat futures and a tiny nickel up in beans. Cattle, though, took another $2 whack. One explanation for the market diversion points out the difference between the two markets: the Dow was near a record high and was due a correction while most ag futures were stuck where they’ve been for more than a year — in the mud — and can’t fall much lower. A more apt but socially unacceptable explanation is that the quickly spreading coronavirus will, sooner or later, fade. In fact, on the same day the Dow was getting its second bloody nose, China announced a “plunge in new infections” of the disease there. If accurate, that likely means stocks and equities might regain much, if not all, of their losses because the underlying fundamentals that took the Dow to record highs earlier this year — a slow, but growing world economy, a U.S. government spending binge, an American election year — remain in place to prime the retracement pump. By contrast, the echoes of the ag-related headlines that Monday morning will be heard by farmers and ranchers

for weeks and months to come. For example, resumption of Brazilian beef imports is more bad news for a market already weighed down by three millstones: falling prices, rising domestic cattle numbers, and record beef production in 2020. Also, any government inquiry into the legality of the administration’s unallocated $28 billion in “Market Facilitation Payments” is not good news after the president, just last week, promised a third round of the subsidies in 2020 if markets continue to tread water. Moreover, who thinks it’s a good sign that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief economist just forecast that Chinese purchases of U.S. ag goods would hit $14 billion this marketing year, not the “get-bigger-tractors,” $40- to $50-billion prediction of the White House in January? And, of course, the U.S. farm markets aren’t going to get any price boost at all from the administration’s recent admission that it failed to get even a short-term trade deal with India. That’s the long and short of it, as my father often said. It wasn’t a comment on what side of the market he was on; it was an honest recognition of where he stood when facing tough choices.

Making derivatives markets work for ag America’s farmers and ranchers are at the heart of our real economy. Yet for the past six years, U.S. agricultural production has faced turbulence. From natural disasters to low commodity prices, farmers and Heath ranchers are forced Tarbert to spend considerable time thinking about Commodity how to mitigate risk Futures and insulate themselves from potential Trading Commission losses. Farm bill programs and crop insurance are an important part of that equation, but so are the derivatives markets. As chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the regulatory body that oversees our derivatives markets, I am committed to making sure the agricultural sector can rely on futures prices and effectively hedge risk. That was originally — and always will be — the very cornerstone of the Commodity Exchange Act. One of the CFTC’s core values is clarity. Simply put, markets and their participants deserve regulatory certainty. To that end, at the top of the CFTC’s priority list is bringing certainty to the lingering, thorny issue of position limits. For nearly a decade, the CFTC has grappled with setting limits on speculative positions in our agricultural and energy futures markets. These limits would cap positions that

Simply put, markets and their participants deserve regulatory certainty. speculators — but not people with real hedging needs — can take in the futures markets on products such as wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and cattle or energy sources like oil and natural gas. If correctly calibrated, these limits could prevent corners or squeezes, which are nefarious tactics to manipulate the market by intentionally driving up or down prices during the last days of a contract. Position limits also could reduce the likelihood of chaotic price swings created by excessive speculation, or when prices reflect the gamesmanship of traders rather than real supply and demand. The CFTC’s upcoming position limits proposal incorporates lessons learned from past mistakes. Prior proposals faltered in large part because they did not offer flexibility to the farmers, ranchers and end-users of the products that our futures markets are meant to serve. The new proposal will offer a workable solution that protects our markets while letting those markets serve the drivers of our economy — namely American businesses. This effort is guided by two overriding goals. First, the proposal is designed to ensure that any market participant with a genuine need to exceed position limits can do so. The exception to the position limits rule is as important as the

rule itself. By making what is known as the “bona fide hedge” exemption to position limits flexible, we can ensure that our nation’s farmers and ranchers can continue to do what they do best: feed America and much of the world. Second, the proposal will leverage the good work done by derivatives exchanges over the past 30 years administering their own position limits. Exchanges interact with market participants daily and understand their hedging strategies. And exchanges can act more quickly, and with less red tape, than the government. Requiring producers to wait while the government makes a decision can mean missing out on real business opportunities. Where we all already agree that a position is a bona fide hedge, the government should not be getting in the way. In doing my job, I am reminded of President Dwight Eisenhower’s maxim that the government’s proper role “is that of partner with the farmer — never his master.” The CFTC will uphold its end of that partnership by ensuring that our derivatives markets continue to work for America’s farmers and ranchers. I look forward to releasing our position limits proposal later this month and to working with the agricultural community on this rule and other proposals in the months ahead.

Runoff of nutrients, mainly phosphorous, from agriculture have been blamed for a series of toxic cyanobacteria blooms in Lake Erie.

Fertilizer applied years ago still affects Lake Erie COLUMBUS, Oh io — A lthough corn or soybeans could not be planted on 1.6 million acres of Ohio farmland last year and little to no fertilizer was applied to those fields, the amount of phosphorus entering Lake Erie still was high. That might seem odd. After all, many of those unplanted acres were in northwest Ohio, the region that feeds into the Maumee River and ultimately into Lake Erie. But a lot of phosphorus was already present in fields from fertilizer applied years before, and older phosphorus is another contributor to the level of phosphorus in Lake Erie, said Greg LaBarge, an Ohio State University Extension field specialist. Phosphor u s r u nof f from farm fields is a main cause of the harmful algal blooms plaguing the lake. “Phosphorus was already in fields, ditches, rivers and tributaries, and it just moved downstream,” LaBarge said. The rain added momentum. 2019 was the sixth wettest year on record in Ohio, which increased the chances that phosphorus, an ingredient in fertilizers and manure, would travel downstream with the rainwater, said LaBarge, an agronomist involved in a statewide phosphorus water quality monitoring effort. Given how much rain the state received last year, particularly in northwest Ohio, the predictions for the summer phosphorus levels in Lake Erie were even higher than they turned out to be.

The trend toward more and more rain is expected to continue. For the state to significantly reduce the phosphorus levels in Lake Erie, a lot more needs to be done besides changing the methods and amounts of fertilizer farmers apply each year to their fields, LaBarge said. He is among 65 presenters at the March 3-4 Conservation Tillage and Technology Conference, an annual event sponsored in part by OSU Extension at Ohio Northern University in Ada. LaBarge’s talk, “What Did We Learn from the 2019 Ag Production Year and Lake Erie Harmful Algal Blooms?” will be given with Laura Johnson, director of the National Center for Water Quality Research at Heidelberg University. “We can’t significantly reduce the phosphorus levels in Lake Erie by only changing farming practices done each year,” LaBarge said. “We need to look at other things.” Specifically, LaBarge is referring to improving water drainage systems on fields, more planting of cover crops to increase the soil organic matter and the soil’s ability to retain more water, and installation of phosphorus filters placed underground on fields to strip out phosphorus passing through them. The fact that little to no fertilizer was likely applied to 1.6 million acres in Ohio last year likely made a difference to the phosphorus load entering Lake Erie, Johnson said.

Last year, the severity of the Lake Erie harmful algal bloom was 7.3 — more than double the severity level of the bloom in 2018, but less than the 2015 bloom of 10.5. “How much fertilizer farmers place on their fields and how they apply that fertilizer between the fall and spring of any crop year have a pretty big influence on phosphorus loads in the spring and summer,” said Johnson, who did an analysis last year of phosphorous loads in the Maumee River. “There’s also a substantial amount of phosphorus leaving fields that was applied years before. “It will take time and patience to achieve the reductions in phosphorus that we need to reduce the severity of the annual algal bloom.” REDUCING RUNOFF Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine recently approved funding cost-share programs that help farmers pay a range of tactics considered to reduce phosphorus runoff, from applying fertilizer below the surface of the soil to modifying drainage ditches to slow water flow and allow the phosphorus to settle. If trying some of these approaches leads farmers to saving money, buying less fertilizer, or earning more from higher yields, farmers will likely adopt them, LaBarge said. “The practices have to bring about some economic advantage for farmers to have widespread adoption of those practices,” he said.

Business

AMP provides tools for long-term profitability When I’m successful both in and out of the field, my business thrives. While improving on-farm practices helps me Doug achieve highyield acres, Schroeder that’s not the only way I Illinois can increase Soybean profitability. Association My business succeeds when I commit to continual learning. That’s true for all growers. When we make smart decisions, whether that’s adopting new technology or reading up on management tips, we accelerate success. But I realize that our

marketplace is always evolving. It can be difficult enough to stay on top of changing production practices, let alone best practices for business. To help growers like you and me become the most knowledgeable, sustainable and profitable producers in the marketplace, Illinois Soybean Association started the Agribusiness Management Program. Funded by the Illinois soybean checkoff, this new program provides growers with tools and knowledge that create long-term success. From partnering with leading Illinois and Midwest experts to providing business expertise tailored for busy farm families, AMP delivers financial, marketing and business management training and education directly to farmers. The program partners with Illinois Farm Business Farm Management Association

to provide enhanced management practices including record keeping, business planning and tax management. So, why AMP? It’s simple; growers in our state continue to harvest the largest soybean crop in the nation, making it critical to provide education opportunities that help our producers thrive. ISA is committed to supporting producers and AMP complements our state’s high-level soybean production by delivering top-notch insights to fill knowledge gaps. The program offers online and in-person education and training, including webinars, workshops, seminars, short videos and statewide events. Topics range from strategic farm and financial management to succession planning, accounting, farm labor management, taxes and tax law support, ag tech adoption strategies and

so much more. If you need to find me, I’ll probably be shouting about AMP from the rooftops. This program is designed to help growers remain on the forefront of shifting marketplace demands, and that’s something I’m excited about. Through engagement with AMP, growers can better navigate risk and overcome complex challenges. With AMP, producers can position themselves as the strategic CEOs of their farms. It’s more than a title, though. AMP is providing the knowledge and know-how to support sound decision-making on the farm and gives producers the confidence to effectively lead. The next AMP learning opportunity is a webinar, “Grain Marketing 101”, on March 24 from 10 to 11 a.m. CDT. Matt Bennett, Illinois farmer and

Channel Seed grain marketing consultant, will cover evaluating farm marketing plans and identifying break-even points, costs of production and typical production levels to help producers maximize opportunities presented by markets. Register for the webinar at tinyurl.com/v5tgksd. Can’t make it to the webinar? Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of opportunities for you to learn. The 2020 Soybean Summit sponsored by ISA will include a special AMP track for business insights. Visit ILSoyAdvisor.com for upcoming AMP webinars and save the date for an AMP event on July 16 in Champaign, Illinois. To learn more about AMP, visit ilsoy.org. Doug Schroeder is chairman of the Illinois Soybean Association.
