WHEN YOU CHANGE

MEET GENIUS.

THE RESULTS ARE IN And they’re proof positive that Pioneer® brand products can help bring consistent gains to your operation.

A REVOLUTION 10 YEARS IN THE MAKING We took stock of things and realized we needed to push ourselves, our corn yields, even the industry, so that farmers could get the most out of their operations. So, we’ve dramatically changed the way we develop corn. We call it the Corn Revolution. For the last 10 years, we’ve invested heavily in the brightest minds and new technologies, developing proprietary tools both for the labs and the fields, capturing massive amounts of more insightful data and writing software to comb through it all.

The result? We’ve reduced development time by 30% and can put 18x the number of genetic lines through the pipeline compared with a decade ago. We added an extra year of precommercial testing to ensure consistent performance across environments. So now, hundreds of thousands of contenders start the process every year, but less than 0.01% make it into a Pioneer bag. The Corn Revolution has arrived.

Get ahead of disease pressure Pathogens thrive in rainy conditions

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DECATUR, Ill. — The relentless spring rain may have suppressed insect pressure this growing season, but it also provided an environment favorable for pathogens.

“The susceptible host was there for sure; the environment, all things were aligned for a high disease pressure year,” said Nick Dame, Corteva Agriscience U.S. fungicide product manager.

“It was a struggle out there.

It was a tough season from day one with the wet season.

We even saw some spots in the northeast where they didn’t harvest some crops last fall. So, we saw a high inoculum of different disease Dame spores in the field. Overall, high disease pressure this rainy season.”

Dame saw a lot of southern rust move into southern portions of Indiana and Illinois, and frogeye leaf spot and white mold were reported in late August in the western and upper Midwest states. Tar spot, which was prevalent in 2018, also was reported this year.

“A lot of folks were new to trying DuPont Aproach Prima fungicide. It’s a very strong twomode-of-action, two-way product, and we’re proud of this product. We’ve seen great uptick in use this season,” Dame said.

By the time a disease is found, it may be too late to protect the crop. Dame noted that’s where Aproach Prima fits the bill with both preventative and curative principles for corn or soybeans.

“There’s the triazole aspect in the mix in cyproconazole that’s a piece of Aproach Prima that’s going to eradicate some of those diseases that are present in the field and then the picoxystrobin is going to protect upfront,” he said.

“You really want to get ahead of the diseases and manage them upfront before you see them in your field. So, we’re really trying to coach, train and education that it’s more of a preventative spray versus curative reactionary timing spray.”

In the weeds Advice on controlling marestail, dandelions, hemlock

By Ashley Langreck

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — With harvest underway, now is the time when farmers begin to prepare for fall herbicide application on fields with troublesome weed issues.

Bill Johnson, a botany and plant pathology professor at Purdue University, said now is the time farmers should begin weed control for next year.

“We need to begin the battle against weeds now, especially if we get another spring with

challenging w e a t he r,” he said.

Joh nson sa id t hat for broadleaf weeds, farmers should spray a herbicide with both Johnson 2,4-D and dicamba in the fall because it does a great job of knocking the weeds out.

“There are a lot of weeds that are winter hearty and are tough

plants to deal with,” he said.

Johnson said not every field will need to be sprayed. If farmers see green material and problematic areas, that’s where they should spray.

To go along with the herbicide, and to handle the weeds that don’t respond as well to spraying, Johnson suggested that farmers use tillage to help control their weed issue.

Johnson also addressed ways to help control three specific weeds that plague Hoosier farmers: marestail, dandelion and poison hemlock.

POISON HEMLOCK Since poison hemlock is a biannual plant, tillage is one of the best practices to stop it because farmers can stop the new growth just as it’s getting established. Second-year growth of the plant is harder to till because it’s been growing for so long, but sometimes using a disc is better to break up the plant’s root system.

Lower supply, demand Weather impacts quality of crops

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DUBUQUE, Iowa — Despite all the problems that challenged the corn crop this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates corn production to total 13.8 billion bushels.

“While the 2019 crop is smaller, it is not by any means small,” said Chad Hart, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach grain marketing specialist.

“This crop is smaller, but don’t let that trick you because f rom 2015 to 2019 we’ve pr o - Hart duced the five largest corn crops.”

While supplies have shrunk a bit, demand may be shrinking even faster, said Hart during the Tri-State Agricultural Lender’s Seminar.

“The USDA usage estimates for feed is 5.3 billion bushels and in May it was 5.4 billion bushels, ethanol is at 5.4 billion bushels and it was 5.5 billion bushels and the biggest drop is exports now at 1.9 billion bushels,” he said at the meeting sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, University of Illinois Extension, University of Wisconsin-Extension and the University of Wisconsin-Platteville College of Agriculture.

However, six to seven months from now, Hart expects the feed and ethanol usage numbers to be larger.

See DEMAND, Page A2

FEDERAL RESERVE SURVEY

MARESTAIL Johnson said farmers couldn’t spray for marestail in the fall of 2018 because it was wet and then the problem was further compounded by the wet spring in 2019. As a result, marestail has become a train wreck throughout the state.

A good practice to help control marestail, Johnson said, is to till it. However, Johnson said for the die-hard no-tillers, a herbicide mixture with 2,4-D and dicamba is the way to go.

DANDELION The weed scientist said that when it comes to dandelions, using tillage can make the weed issue worse. Dandelion is a perennial with a fleshy, taproot system, and when it’s tilled and the taproot system is broken up, the rootstalk becomes two instead of one, which will then form another plant. Johnson said that a good 2,4-D herbicide mixture usually is pretty effective at controlling dandelion.

VANDALIA, Ill. — What looked good on paper couldn’t translate into the fields this year due to weather limitations.

“It was a tough year to try to find fits for everything,” said Jeremy Leininger, salesman at Woolsey Brothers Farm Supply.

“We try to plan the best that we can and pick out products that are going to work for them and what they like.

This year, though, was kind of hard because it just kept getting wetter and wetter so we had to change some of these plans.”

Leininger noted one example was the need to change plans for some corn herbicide programs.

“With corn height restrictions we had to go with something that we thought was maybe a little safer for the corn or some things Leininger that m ay not have as much residual to carryover into next year’s growing season. Some things may have a 10-month rotation to soybeans and then you had to watch even some of the safer products if you were going to go to wheat in that field this fall,” he said.

“We really had to watch where we were going to go with those products.”

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

PREPARATION Turning toward this fall and into 2020, with prevent plant acres and weather that limited herbicide application plans, Leininger provided his outlook in managing the weed seed bank at the Corteva Agriscience tent during the Farm Progress Show.

“It’s going to depend on the fall that we have. If it continues to be wet we’re going to have some challenges getting the crop out, so we’re going to be dealing with some ruts.

In fields that we might typically have a no-till situation, just a glyphosate, 2,4-D and then some type of residual herbicide depending on what crop you’re rotating to,” he said.

CHICAGO — Harvest delays and trade uncertainty were common concerns across all Federal Reserve Districts in a recent banking industry survey.

The survey report is based on information collected on or before Oct. 7.

The Beige Book is a Federal Reserve System publication about current economic conditions across the 12 Federal Reserve Districts.

It characterizes regional economic conditions and prospects based on a variety of mostly qualitative information.

“The corn and soybean harvest got off to a slow start in the district, as rains delayed fieldwork. In addition, the harvest started later than usual because heavy spring rains had delayed planting and crops were up to a month behind in maturity,” according to the Seventh Federal Reserve District of Chicago survey, which includes the northern two-thirds of Illinois and Indiana and all of Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.

“Contacts had mounting concerns about how much of this year’s crop would be able to fully mature before a hard frost hits.

“ You may have to work that field to get a clean start and after we work it we can still put down some residual herbicide, whatever it is you want to use to hold the weeds back and hopefully keep it clean until the spring.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates farmers weren’t able to plant about 19.4 million U.S. acres this year, including 1.5 million prevent plant acres in Illinois and 944,215 in Indiana.

Leininger was asked if those idle acres require any additional weed management.

“I don’t think we need to focus on it as this is a prevent plant acre and

let’s work harder on this one. We need to treat all of our acres in a way that there’s a seed bank there and it’s a problem. We really need to focus on starting clean. We need to focus on full rates of residuals and not putting down half rates,” he said.

“The next big thing we need to look at is overlapping residuals. There are weeds that we go in there and spray but soil is really what we want to spray because we don’t want that weed to get established to get away from us. We want to nip it in the bud and be clean all throughout the season.”

“Weather will impact this crop not necessarily in the yield, but in the quality and result in lower test weights,” he said.

“That means livestock producers have to feed more corn to get the same daily rate of gain, and ethanol is the same way — you get less ethanol yield with lower quality corn.”

The scenario for soybeans is similar; crop production is shrinking, but the concern is that demand won’t keep up.

“But it’s a little different because crush continues to build and grow and a lot of that is related to the livestock industry,” Hart said.

“Exports really scare the marketplace now at a nearly 400 million bushel drop.”

Hart noted that the biggest troubles for corn yields are occurring in the Eastern Corn Belt.

“Illinois yields are estimated at 179 bushels per acre, Indiana 162 bushels per acre and Ohio 160 bushels per acre,” he said.

“Ohio is probably the worst crop I’ve seen all year.”

The U.S. soybean crop has both a yield and quality problem, Hart said.

“The USDA has lowered the soybean yield estimates

two bushels,” he said.

As the USDA estimates soybean yields during the growing season they focus on counting the pods and estimating the pod weight.

“As we move through time, we tend to find more pods, but they weigh less,” Hart said. “This year, we were late to plant, the plants were late to bloom and those late blooms create pods, but the late pods don’t fill well, so the grain weight is dropped.”

According to the sixto 10-day forecast, the Midwest is facing colder than normal temperatures for the end of October.

“And we continue to be wet, and I fear we’re setting ourselves to replay 2019 when I look to 2020,” Hart said.

“The planting problems for this year’s crop started with last year’s wet fall,” he said. “That continued during the wet spring, which created flooding, delays in planting and here we are going through it again.”

While the United States will have a lower corn crop this year, that is not necessarily true globally.

“The only reason global numbers are down is ours are down. All the other countries are producing about what they did last year,” Hart said. “And last year globally was a record

The world soybean story is very similar.

“For the first time, the U.S. is the No. 2 country for soybean production because Brazil passed us,” Hart said.

“Until we figure out the trade dispute with China, it is hard to see where the soybean market will gain traction because two years ago China represented 30% of the U.S. export market,” he said. “You don’t just replace that in one month or one year.”

However, China remains the No. 1 market for U.S. soybeans, followed by Mexico, European Union, Taiwan, Japan and Egypt.

“Overall, our soybean exports are down 13% compared to last year, which was down 20% compared to the year before,” Hart said. “We still haven’t figured out how to fill in the hole from China.”

The demand for protein throughout the world has resulted in fairly strong beef exports each year since 2014.

“We’ve had a little set back this year so we’re running just under record pace,” Hart said.

“Japan is our biggest market for beef and we’ve seen a little pull back and a lot of that is due to a trade deal we’re not in,” Hart said. “The Trans-Pacific

Partnership opened up the Japanese market to Australia and New Zealand because they have lower tariff rates than we do.”

U.S. pork exports have increased each year from 2015 to 2019. Even with the trade war with China, Hart said, the Chinese market needs pork because of the problems with African swine fever.

Although 2019 has been a challenging year for U.S. producers, Hart said, they did have an opportunity to market profitable corn, when corn hit $4.70 on the board.

“We need to take advantage of the market when it gives us what it does,” he said. “The $4.70 price gave us a margin we hadn’t seen in five years, and I feel we’ll replay something like that in 2020, especially if the quality problems are there.”

A lot of farmers are going to store their corn crop at home this year, Hart said.

“This is the wrong crop to learn how to store grain because once this crop starts to have problems, those problems will spread quickly,” he said.

“Farmers are going to have to watch this crop in the bins like a hawk,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how high prices go if you’ve got a crop you can’t sell.”

Getting to the bottom of field tolerance SCN-tolerant varieties offer ‘new’ option

By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

GIBSON CITY, Ill. — Rotating resistant varieties or to non-host crops are common management methods in fields with high soybean cyst nematode populations.

While using resistant varieties has worked, there are also reports that SCN populations are developing resistance to the commonly used PI 88788 source of resistance.

The Fayette cultivar with the PI 88788 source of SCN resistance is widely used in soybean breeding to help control the disease that’s costing farmers $1 billion annually in yield losses.

Other sources for genetic resistance are PI 548402 (Peking) and PI 437654 (Hartwig or CystX). Only a small number of varieties current use the Peking source and even fewer use the Hartwig source.

“Most seed companies now are selling cyst-resistant variet-

ies because they know you need it and it works. Fayette resistance is very durable. It’s lasted for 40 years. So, that means it really does work but you still get yield drag. Breeding for resistance has been an incredible investment on the part of breeding companies,” said Hunt Wiley at the DONMARIO Seeds Field Day. Wiley, DONMARIO North American soybean breeding consultant, has spent most of his 38year breeding career working in maturities 2-4 with a strong emphasis on high yield and genetic disease protection.

“Breeding for resistance has become easier and easier with molecular marker technology. It works. So, the more you breed the bigger population you have to select from, the chances are you’re going to have less yield drag from the presence of that resistance. But we still find the highest yielding varieties don’t have resistance. So, we look at that data and the sales guys are going to say they can’t sell a variety unless it has cyst resistance,” Wiley said.

Out of the millions of genetic strains DONMARIO’s breeding program develops every year and tested; only about 50 make it into the product lineup each year.

“Rather than just calling it an anomaly, this company dug into that phenomenon and found that field tolerance is real.”

Hunt Wiley, North American soybean breeding consultant DONMARIO

FIELD TOLERANCE Field testing at over 100 locations not only have found high-yielding varieties and soybeans with SCN resistance, but also varieties that don’t have the typical Fayette or Peking strains, but yet show field tolerance to SCN. “We test them in the greenhouse. We see the cysts on the roots, so they’re susceptible in the greenhouse, but as far as the disease goes they can reproduce happily,” Wiley said.

“There’s no yield-drag from using a junky exotic fencerow black seeded viney strain to breed your resistant sources,

and you have no pressure on races.”

“So, it’s a fabulous option for you to consider. You have Fayette resistance. There’s an occasional Peking source of resistance line that can yield well enough to sell, although most of them can’t make it because they can’t yield well enough.”

The SCN tolerant varieties are best suited for black prairie soils, while SCN resistant varieties with Fayette and Peking are essential in sandy soils, according to trial data.

“A seed treatment might help, it usually does. But if you have good water-holding capacity, then field tolerance could give you three to five bushels more and that’s worth thinking about. It’s another option that this company has observed,” Wiley said.

“This is a data-driven concept.

So, rather than just calling it an anomaly, this company dug into that phenomenon and found that field tolerance is real.”

“There are three cases of lines sold to the industry that had field tolerance and no one ever knew it. They were just considered odd. They were exceptions.

One of them was a late 4 maturity in southern Illinois. One of them was sold through a foundation

company to a lot of seedsmen at 3.6 maturity. It lasted six or eight years. It was a killer yielder and no cysts.

“Also, Dairyland Seed had a couple of early 2s that had no cysts and beat everything. But those were just sort of sold and I guess they’re pretty good but we don’t know what’s going on.

They were tolerant lines. You make crosses with them and you can find tolerant lines in their offspring. It’s inheritable, it’s real. We don’t know exactly why.

“We don’t know how you can have reproduction of a pathogen and not have disease. These are healthier varieties. Their root systems must be able to respond to injury or the cells that feed the nematode when she buries her head into the roots the roots don’t get disfigured or clogged.

There’s something there. We plan to collaborate with a university program to get some basic research done but we will be able to bring you another alternative for managing this disease.”

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A new seed treater that combines automation with accuracy and configurable options was featured at the Midwest Ag Industries Exposition and Farm Progress Show.

The LPX U-Treat Lite seed treater, developed by USC Seed Treating Solutions, is touted as the only fully automated seed treater in its price range, making it more affordable for ag retailers.

“The advantage of the LPX U-Treat Lite is being able to treat the seed when you need it treated. It’s ready for you. You can store your clean seed, have the chemistry onsite, and be able to treat it,” said Travis Cormier, bin site manager, USC Seed Treating Solutions.

“There’s also the flexibility as the seasons change, you can adapt your chemistry recipe. This allows you to adjust what you

might need on each individual farm.”

A g ronomist s recommend early planting when weather permits and this system fits into that management strategy.

“That’s one of the biggest avenues behind the chemistry side is to get that seed in sooner. We’re going to protect that seed in soil that’s maybe a little wet or colder. We’re there to allow them to be ready to go. If it’s early, if it’s late, it’s ready when you are,” Cormier said.

Key features include: n Automates up to four volumetric metering pump stands. n Offers a 10-inch touchscreen for easy operation. n Monitor on the go with mobile devise connectivity. n Supports up to 500 customers, seed profiles, chemistry profiles, recipes. n Saves up to 5,000 reports viewable on-screen or downloadable. n Patented stainless-steel

atomizer chamber. n Offers six-foot and eight-foot drums for seed coating.

With automated start, run and end sequences, runs are highly repetitive by removing the opportunity for mistakes to be made during operations.

Information needed for the operator to complete an order is simplified, and input data is organized into a quick access format to reduce pre-run set-up time.

USC Seed Treating Solutions, based in Sabetha, Kansas, was founded in 1999.

“We’ve grown from just the treater all the way through bulk facilities, and it’s become very accurate from metering the seed, storing the seed to also the chemical application itself,” Cormier said.

“We currently have about 5,000 treaters in the industry right now — from commercial facilities to ag retailers to individual customers — that’s a pretty significant milestone.”

Seventh District contacts noted that although there was still uncertainty about the size of China’s purchases of agricultural products, there was positive news for farmers in the newly announced trade deal with Japan and in recent adjustments to the implementation of the Renewable Fuels Standard that will support demand for biofuels.

Eighth Federal Reserve District of St. Louis agriculture conditions have declined modestly compared with the previous report. Production and yield

forecasts fell for corn and soybeans from August to September but improved for cotton. Expected rice production also declined over the same period, but expected yields ticked up. “Relative to 2018, corn, rice, and soybean production levels are projected to decrease sharply, largely due to the unusually wet weather and f looding during the planting season. However, cotton production levels are expected to improve compared with last year,� the Eighth District report noted.

The district includes the southern parts of Illinois and Indiana and eastern half of Missouri, as well as parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky and Mississippi.

The Eighth District outlook among contacts remained relatively pessimistic due to depressed commodity prices and trade uncertainty. Farmers in southern Indiana also expressed concern over the recent lack of rain.

“District agricultural conditions remained weak. Heavy rains that hampered crop planting this season have persisted into the fall and may complicate harvests in some areas, according to sources. Recent forecasts indicated that corn and soybean production in district states may decrease 10 percent and 20 percent, respectively, in 2019 compared with last year,� according to the Federal Reserve District of Minneapolis.

The Minneapolis district includes all of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, northwestern Wisconsin, and all of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Agricultural economic conditions in the Federal Reserve District of Kansas City generally remained weak. Major row crop and cattle prices were generally stable following sharp declines in the prior period.

U.S. corn and soybean production was expected to decline slightly in 2019, but not enough to materially reduce large outstanding supplies.

“In contrast to other areas of the U.S., a slight increase in corn production was expected throughout the region and could contribute to a slight improvement in revenues.

Conversely, soybean production was expected to be moderately lower, and prices continued to be damped by on-going trade disputes,â€? the Kansas City district reported. “In the livestock sector, recently disrupted beef production channels continued to put downward pressure on cattle prices, but stronger pork exports drove a moderate increase in hog prices. In addition, the distribution of 2019 USDA trade relief payments could provide additional short-term support to farm cash ows.â€?

The Kansas City district includes the western part of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Colorado and the northern New Mexico.

“We spent the day at Black Cow, which is a company that started with dairymen. They now make vodka from dairy milk.�

Director Bruce Kettler, director, Indiana State Department of Agriculture

U.S. ag delegation tours U.K.

By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LONDON — Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Bruce Kettler joined an agricultural delegation to the United Kingdom.

Alongside other leaders from across the United States, Kettler met with government agencies and stakeholders Sept. 27-Oct. 4. They toured several farms to learn more about the region’s agriculture industry. “It’s really a mission to help people in the U.S. ag industry to understand the U.K.’s agriculture system,�

Kettler said. “What they’re doing, how it works. It’s a very educational trip in nature. “The last two days, we’ve been out on farms.

We’ve learned about sheep production and learned

Case IH Turbo 330 31’, at bar basket

how lamb is marketed.

We spent the day at Black Cow, which is a company that started with dairymen. They now make vodka from dairy milk.�

The group also visited an experimental dairy farm where farmers are using technology to reduce inputs. “It’s been a real cross section of the industry,�

Kettler said. “It’s been really neat to get out on the farms, talk to farmers and talk to people on the frontlines about what they do and why.�

The dierences between agriculture in the U.K. versus the U.S. are signiďŹ cant, he said.

One example is animal nutrition. Most of the cattle in the U.K. are pasture raised and grass fed, compared to the U.S., where many cattle are grain fed.

In spite of the differences, the two countries have similarities. “An area in particular that I think we have a lot of commonalities is around ag tech and ag science,� Kettler said.

America and the U.K. may be able to work together on research in the future.

Kettler also sees opportunities to engage with them when it comes to agricultural education. “I think there might be ways for us to look at how the 4-H model could be utilized in the U.K. and how the FFA model might be utilized and upgraded here,� he said.

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

JOHNSTON, Iowa — Incentive programs have become common industry-wide as a way for farmers to get the best bang for their bucks.

Among those in the market is Corteva Agriscience’s TruChoice program that provides help to farmers through savings options that ďŹ t a variety of operations and ďŹ nancial situations. “The TruChoice offer helps farmers improve their cash ow while using a wide portfolio of proven crop protection and plant health products that make every acre count,â€? said Brittany Loewen, Corteva Agriscience TruChoice experience manager. “With flexible options for both seed and crop protect ion pu rcha ses, TruChoice delivers more choices, simple savings and no waiting for rebates.â€?

In addition to farmer benefits, the TruChoice oer helps retailers build brand loyalty with customers by oering the full value of savings at the time of crop protection purchases.

Savings cover the entire suite of input needs from seed to herbicides to nitrogen stabilizers and everythi ng i n between Loewen so re tailers have the exibility to recommend the appropriate product mix.

For the 2020 growing season, farmers can participate via a variety of options: Q Corteva Cash: Farmers who purchase a qualifying amount of Pioneer brand seed receive Corteva Cash to spend with an authorized retailer on more than 100 crop protection products from Corteva Agriscience.

Q TruChoice Prepay: Regardless of seed brand, farmers who fund a prepay account save 5% on Corteva Agriscience crop protection products when paid in cash or 3% when ďŹ nanced through the TruChoice oer — minimum purchase of $7,500.

Q TruChoice Financing: Farmers can ďŹ nance their Pioneer brand seed and Corteva Agriscience crop protection product purchases through non-collateralized loans oered at competitive ďŹ nancing rates.

For both the farmer and the retailer, participating in the TruChoice oer is easy because it doesn’t require extra steps. Farmers can work with their local Pioneer sales representative and crop protection retailer to automatically apply savings and retailers can track customer activity within the program in a streamlined online portal.

With no bundling requirements or waiting until the end of the year for a rebate, TruChoice delivers a simple solution to help address the economic complexity farmers will likely continue to face in 2020.

Loewen said there is not minimum purchase required for the program. “It’s a brand new program at Corteva; it’s simple, and it’s now, referring to those upfront savings.

The simplicity really does speak to those low barriers to entry. We would love to have as many farmers as possible come in and partner with TruChoice and utilize TruChoice to help improve their cash situation, help improve their overall financial picture for 2020. There are no barriers to entry in terms of how much seed they purchase. Any Pioneer purchase earns you Corteva cash,� she said. “I think the biggest thing that we’re dealing with as we look toward 2020 is just

a lot of uncertainty. There are so many questions around how some of these financial issues are going to play out in 2020 and what I think TruChoice oers farmers is a way to have control, a way to have power over their ďŹ nancial situation as we go into the 2020 season.â€?

Loewen added a key beneďŹ t of TruChoice is the upfront savings. “We want to allow farmers to reap the beneďŹ ts of

their crop protection purchases and not have to wait nine, 10, 12 months even into the next year before they get their rebate.

We want them to have upfront savings so that they can control what do with their savings,� she said.

BREMEN, INDIANA

The reasons we farm Another productive week behind us, I would say. We were able to get switched back to corn and run on corn most of the week. We are around that 50% mark on corn harvest.

So, that is a good feeling. So far, yields are still surprising us, but not as big as they could have been. But I am still impressed with the crop and feel blessed to have a crop. Quality has been good so far for our food-grade contracts. The wheat is all up or just spiking through. With the rain over the weekend it has really shot out of the ground.

We had about 2 inches of rain on Saturday. At first, I had my worries, but we have been dry and most of it absorbed very nicely. We finished planting cover crop this week with the last of our cereal rye being planted ahead of beans.

I am definitely ready to unhook the air seeder. I hooked to the bean planter in April and by the first of June we had wore it out and I was hooked to the air seeder for the second round of replant beans. Then I have planted constantly since June with it.

We planted prevent plant ground, wheat stubble without double crops on it, then started in right behind the combines in September with cover crop, then wheat and now finishing with cover crop.

To say I am tired of pulling that thing is an understatement. But I am reminded that I am blessed to have the crop we do to harvest and to have the chance to get a start on the 2020 crop already and have it off to the races.

My eternal optimism has been running strong lately as I think about how we could have just hung it up. But this entire industry, no matter how bad things get, we get it done, we

clean ourselves and equipment up and we go hard at it again next year — all for the opportunity to support our families, employees and the local and world economies. This is a business, but it’s also a lifestyle. Some days, it’s hard to separate that.

But at the end of the day we all know we wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.

Walking after surgery The weather outside is beautiful today, quite the opposite of yesterday’s gully-washer. Both days, I watched from the confines of my hospital bed. My back surgery went according to plan and I got to come home today. My therapy consists of walking with more walking plus more walking. I won’t win any races this week, but I’m still moving and that’s enough for now. Mark got a good start to the regimen of nursemaid. He’s got a long way to go.

We hammered out a few acres of that last 250 acres of corn to go. If the sun keeps shining, we’ll call it a wrap on Wednesday. I had hoped to be done by Halloween and we are almost there. I have my Halloween candy bought — 290 pieces this year since we ran out last year. I zipped across Interstate 64 this week for a long lunch with my brother, Mike, and my mom on Wednesday. Mike was home for a short visit and to do some things off mom’s to-do list. I was amazed at the fields of empty crops. It confirmed my thoughts of a harvest almost complete.

Well, time for another nap. I do that a lot lately with the pain meds. My tip for the week is to keep the machinery running at top capacity. It’s tough when breakdowns happen in the field.

Until next week, have a great day.

Pork president preaches importance of getting involved

By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

AMBOY, Ind. — Nick Maple, the president of Indiana Pork Producers Association, is a dad to two teenagers, a husband and a full-time farmer and pork producer.

He has all the reasons why he’d be too busy to take on anything else.

But that’s not his style.

Instead, the P urdue University graduate and

partner in Maple Acres Farm is leading the Indiana Pork Producers Association — and encouraging others to do the same.

“Now that I’ve been involved, I will preach it to the mountain and back.

It’s hard to complain about stuff if you don’t want to get involved and do your part. Try to make a difference, even if it’s just a little part,” Maple said.

Maple is close to fin-

ishing his first year of a two-year term as president of the Indiana producers group.

He and wife, Lindsey, are parents to a son, who’s a freshman in high school, and a daughter, who’s a sophomore. They are 10 months apart.

“My daughter just turn|ed 16, so the scary times are happening for us,” he joked.

Maple partners with his father, uncle, cousin

and her husband in Maple Acres Farm.

“As far as the family operation, we are farrow to finish. My wife and I, on our own, have 11,000 finishing spaces, and we contract those with Oracle Pork,” he said.

Like most pork farms, Maple Acres Farm has changed to maintain their sustainability in the face of changing economic times.

“At one time, we had 7,000 sows, but we’ve kind

of backed off a little bit.

As times got tougher, we retooled the operation,” Maple said.

Maple took over as president when multiple crises were creating tense times in the U.S. pork industry.

“It’s really never a dull moment. There’s always something going on,” he said of his first year leading the Indiana group.

Maple said the focus has been on trade and the threat posed by African swine fever.

For farms like Maple Acres, lessons learned from previous viruses that hit the U.S. herd hard — porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome — have proven useful in the fight against ASF. “With some of the issues that the pork industry has had in the last few years, with PED and PRRS, it really heightened our awareness on biosecurity,” Maple said.

The threat of ASF has made producers like Maple ultra-aware of making sure that the biosecurity controls they already have in place are being strictly followed.

“On a personal level, on our farm, it’s sticking with the biosecurity we have in place, making sure that people are showering in, showering out, keeping track of our guests,” Maple said.

Witnessing the damages that ASF has done in China and throughout

What’s the dish?

For Nick Maple, president, Indiana Pork Producers Association: “Boneless loin chop on the grill with fresh green beans, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. It doesn’t get any better than that.”

other countries in Southeast Asia is a motivation for making sure protocols are being followed.

“It’s just little stuff that you knew was an issue, but you kind of walked a fine line on it. You don’t do that anymore. You make sure that your trucks are clean coming back and you are always showering in and changing your clothes and not wearing the same clothes from one barn to another. Biosecurity is definitely the name of the game now,” Maple said.

Maple’s job as president is to make sure that the organization is running smoothly and maintaining its mission of representing and looking out for the interests of the Indiana pork industry and Indiana pork producers.

“I make sure everything is getting done, and that we are utilizing producers’ money in the checkoff fund to the best of our ability to promote the product.

We make sure that Indiana pork producers are taken care of, whether it’s trade issues and going to Washington, D.C., to lobby out there on different issues or if there’s something here in the state that needs to be addressed,” he said.

Maple credits the staff in the Indiana Pork headquarters for their hard work behind the scenes.

“We have an awesome staff. Jeanette Merritt, Josh Trenary and the others in the office carry on the dayto-day operations. It’s an awesome opportunity to be president, but we are very blessed to have such a wonderful staff making sure that this board can run so smoothly,” he said.

Maple said one of his favorite parts of the job is getting out and about to talk to other producers and producers in other states.

“Just getting out, not just in my community, but getting to Indianapolis and different areas and to different conferences, so you can see and hear what’s going on. You are not in your bubble anymore, and you can get a broader view of what this industry means,” he said.

GIVING BACK Maple also views the commitment he’s made for the last eight years as a member of the Indiana Pork board and now as president as a pay-it-forward sort of gesture.

“This industry has given so much back to our family. It’s been kind of tough over the last two or three years, but our business wouldn’t have grown the way it has, so being able to give back to an industry that has given so much to us means a lot to me,” he said.

When he’s not wearing his pork producer or president hat, he’s wearing his proud dad cap. Watching his kids play the sports they love is a favorite way to unwind.

“My kids are both involved in high school activities, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball. My son plays soccer now. He played football, but now he plays soccer. It was always a passion of mine growing up, and we’ve tried to give them every opportunity.

They are really successful in their sporting activities, and it is such a blessing to be able to watch them participate and play,” he said.

Discovering a Long-term Rootworm Solution Corn rootworm (CRW) thrives on consistency. Inconsistency, then, is the path to successfully controlling this wily, worrisome pest. Using a variety of control methods in a multi-year field plan helps delay development of corn rootworm resistance.

Rotate to a non-host crop like soybeans

Rotate dual mode of action traits

“We need to look at each field, then develop a multi-year plan of action,” Tim O’Brien, Ph.D., Agrisure® traits manager at Syngenta, said.

To sustain high corn yields, O’Brien continued, growers need at least a three- to four-year management plan in each field.

Year 1: Consider rotating to a nonhost crop, such as soybeans.

Year 2: Bring back corn and use an above-ground trait stack, such as Agrisure Viptera® 3220 E-Z Refuge®. If the field is in an area under pressure from Western corn rootworm variant or Northern corn rootworm extended diapause, use an above-ground stack with a soilapplied insecticide, such as Force®.

Monitor CRW pressure. Any year with corn, if beetle pressure is heavy, treat for adult CRW beetles.

Year 3: Plant Agrisure Duracade® trait stack. The Agrisure Duracade trait is available in the Agrisure Duracade 5222 E-Z Refuge® and Agrisure Duracade 5122 E-Z Refuge® trait stacks, offering growers industry-leading corn rootworm control, and producing noticeably healthier plants with stronger roots and thicker stalks. E-Z Refuge protects yield and provides the convenience and simplicity of an integrated E-Z Refuge seed blend. Both

Plant above-ground trait stack (add soil applied insecticide if needed1)

Utilize Agrisure Duracade

Agrisure Duracade trait stacks are available in water-optimizing Agrisure Artesian® corn hybrids.

Another available option is Enogen® corn hybrid series that contains Agrisure Duracade 5122 E-Z Refuge® corn enzyme technology.

Year 4: Consider repeating with Agrisure Duracade. This is an option if the previous year’s adult CRW beetle count was below threshold.

However, if the adult CRW beetle population is high, consider rotating to a non-host crop or rotating to a different dual mode of action trait stack, such as Agrisure® 3122A E-Z Refuge. Another option is to rotate to a different dual mode-of-action trait stack and add a soil-applied insecticide.

“If corn on corn is planned at any time, scout for beetles to provide an indication of rootworm pressure in the following year,” O’Brien said.

“If beetle pressures indicates the potential for high pressure, consider crop rotation or carefully plan corn rootworm control methods.”

Avoid using the same CRW control method in a field for more than 3 years in a row and return to crop rotation when possible.

Year 5: According to O’Brien, a grower could plant an Agrisure Duracade stack again, provided the annual CRW beetle count is below threshold. Or, a grower can rewind to Year 1.

Agrisure Duracade hybrids are sold as stacked traits (Agrisure Duracade 5222 E-Z Refuge® and Agrisure Duracade 5122 E-Z Refuge®) and all of the individual components of these stacks are now approved. For more information about Agrisure Duracade trait stacks, growers should ask their local seed reseller or visit www.biotradestatus.com.

For more information on how to develop a multi-year corn rootworm management plan with Agrisure Duracade trait stacks, visit www.agrisureduracade.com or talk to your local seed reseller.

LEGAL IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR THE FIFTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT OGLE COUNTY, ILLINOIS FLOYD SCHULTZ, STANLEY BLUNIER, and BRAD RISKEDAL, individually and as class representatives on behalf of all of the minority unitholders of ILLINOIS RIVER ENERGY HOLDINGS, LLC, Plaintiffs, v.

SINAV LIMITED, GTL RESOURCES USA, INC., GTL RESOURCES LIMITED, GTL RESOURCES PLC, SIEM KAPITAL, AS, NORTH ATLANTIC VALUE LLP, SIEM INDUSTRIES, INC., GTL CAMBRIDGE LLC, RICHARD H. RUEBE, JEFFREY W. LEMAJEUR, VINCENT J. KWASNIEWSKI, and NEAL T. JAKEL, Defendants.

No. 2014 L 15 NOTICE OF PENDENCY OF CLASS ACTION TO: All minority unitholders who held units in Illinois River Energy Holdings, LLC (“IREH”) as of January 30, 2012 PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. THIS NOTICE RELATES TO THE PENDENCY OF THIS CLASS LITIGATION AND IF YOU ARE A CLASS MEMBER CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION AS TO YOUR RIGHTS Pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-803 and pursuant to the Order of the Circuit Court of Ogle County, dated January 31, 2019, YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED: DEFINITION OF THE CLASS

By Order dated January 31, 2019, the Court has certified this action (the “Action”) as a class action pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/2-802, consisting of: All the minority unitholders who held units in IREH as of January 30, 2012, the date of the squeeze-out merger in issue in this action. Excluded from the class are defendants and their families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors or assigns and any entity in which defendants have a controlling interest (“the Class”).

This notice is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, an expression of any opinion by the Court regarding the final outcome of any claims or defenses asserted. This notice is sent to advise you of the pendency of this action and of your rights with respect to this action.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION The Action commenced on May 20, 2014, when Plaintiffs Floyd Schultz, Stanley Blunier, and Brad Riskedal filed the Complaint which asserted allegations and claims on behalf of the Class. The Complaint alleged that the Defendants named in the caption on the first page of this Notice breached duties to the Class in connection with the merger in the first quarter of 2012 that required the Class to relinquish their units in Illinois River Energy Holdings, LLC (“IREH”) for $1.10 per unit.

In 2012, the IREH majority unitholder (GTL) decided to pursue a merger of IREH into a GTL entity whereby IREH minority unitholders would relinquish their ownership interests in exchange for a cash payment. The Complaint alleges that, under controlling Delaware law, the Defendants – including the GTL-controlled IREH board members Messrs. Ruebe, Lemajeur, Kwasniewski, and Jakel – needed to ensure that the merger process and price was fair to the Class. The Complaint alleges that the Defendants breached fiduciary duties and the IREH Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) due to an unfair merger process and price. The Complaint alleges that other Defendants improperly aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duties and interfered to cause the breaches of the LLC Agreement.

Plaintiffs seek to recover damages associated with the unfair price that the Class received for units in 2012 together with disgorgement of Defendants’ profits, punitive damages, and other relief that the Court deems fit to award.

THE RIGHTS OF CLASS MEMBERS (a) You have the following options: (1) You may remain a member of the Class. To remain a member of the Class, you do not have to take any action. If you remain a member of the Class, you will be bound by any judgment in the action, whether favorable or unfavorable. As a member of the Class, you may share in the recovery, if any, and you will be barred from prosecuting your own claim. If judgment is rendered in favor of Defendants, the Class will be denied any recovery from this Action. You will automatically be considered a member of the Class, unless you request exclusion in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

(2) You may exclude yourself from the Class. Any member of the Class may be excluded, but only upon specific request. If you wish to be excluded from the Class, you must ask the Court to exclude you from the Action by mailing a signed letter requesting exclusion to: Schultz et al. v. Sinav et al., 2014 L 15 Ogle County Circuit Clerk 105 S. 5th Street, Oregon, IL 61061 (b) If you file a request for exclusion as described in the previous paragraph, your request for exclusion must set forth your name, address and telephone number, and the name and number of the Action (Schultz et al. v. Sinav et al., 2014 L 15). Such request must be postmarked within 45 days of the date of this notice. If your request for exclusion is timely mailed, you will be excluded from the Class. If excluded, you will not be bound by the results of the Action, and you will also not share in any recovery that benefits the Class. (c) If you do not request exclusion, you will be represented by the Plaintiffs and their counsel, who have been appointed Class Counsel by the Court, unless you enter an appearance through counsel of your own choice. You are not required to obtain your own counsel, but if you choose to do so, your counsel must file an appearance on your behalf within 45 days of the date of this notice, and mail copies of such appearance to the attorneys listed below. (d) If you remain a member of the Class and change your address, send written notification of your change of address to the Ogle County Circuit Clerk. (e) By remaining in the Class, you will not subject yourself to any obligation to pay the costs of the Action. With respect to the Class, all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, will be paid from any recovery obtained on behalf of the Class or by Defendants, as such payment may be approved and ordered by the Court.

ANTIQUES & COLLECTING

The Social Security increase for 2020 will be 1.6%,

Social Security hikes don’t keep up with inflation

This “snail,” an antique inkwell form, was made around 1860. It is porcelain with painted flowers as decoration. A collector paid $156 for it at a New Jersey auction.

By Matilda Charles

It’s now official: Our Social Security increase for 2020 will be 1.6%, or $23.40 for the average senior who receives benefits. If our Medicare goes up, that comes out of the increase.

We all know the Social Security increases we get are not enough to keep pace with rising prices. The Senior Citizens League did a study a few years ago that determined we had fallen 4% behind actual costs in one year alone.

Since 2000, we’ve lost 34% of our buying power. For example, if we bought $100 in groceries back then, today we’d get only $66 worth.

Just what determines the amount of Social Security increases? The number is called COLA, for cost-of-living adjustment, and the figures are calculated monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics using the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers.

The BLS uses the prices in “A Basket of Goods” to calculate what is being spent and determine the Consumer Price Index. It includes food, but also tracks bedroom furniture, toys, the cost of education and communication.

For over a year now I’ve kept a monthly chart of every dime I spend. If I come home from the store with a receipt or I pay a utility bill, the amount gets noted on the chart.

The CPI that came out in September says that over the past year, overall prices for urban consumers went up 1.7 percent. I know my costs have gone up much more than that.

How about you? Here’s some math homework for you for the next year. Make a list of the basic items you buy and the expenses you have. Write down what they cost. A year from now do a comparison and see if they’ve gone up, and if so, how much. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Birch bark is a versatile material for seasonal arts-and-crafts projects.

Collect tree bark to create craft projects

By Donna Erickson

What’s better this fall than taking leisurely family walks to grab some fresh air and enjoy the stimulation of the outdoors? While everyone might recognize houses and neighbors and get caught up in collecting fallen leaves along the way, this time can also draw everyone’s attention to new discoveries — like taking a closer look at the bark on trees.

Is it knobbly and cracked?

Talk about the colors and shapes. Some might even look like pieces to a puzzle. How does bark from an oak look different from that of a maple?

If you live in a rural area or near a nature preserve where you are allowed to collect bark on the ground, bring it home for fun craft and decorating projects. Or, if you have a pile of firewood, use the bark from the cut logs and branches.

Never strip bark off of a living tree, as that can harm it.

send to a friend. If you have lots of bark, make sets of cards and envelopes to give as presents. Or, simply cut mini gift tags, punch a hole at the end, slip string through and knot.

Cover recycled containers: Wrap and glue a piece of birch bark to a tin can for a charming vase or pencil holder, or around a small glass jar for a votive candleholder.

Use when camping: When you head off for a camping trip now or next summer, keep in mind that dry birch bark is an ideal fire starter. Collect it from the ground on day hikes and keep in your pockets for use when you get back to your campsite.

OTHER BARKS You can use any kind of bark pieces in creative ways.

Outfit a house: Decorate a milk carton bird feeder to hang in your backyard for feathered friends. Cover the “roof” and closed sides with strips of bark in all shapes and sizes, along with a few tiny pine cones. Or, decorate a wooden “house” from a craft store for an indoor story time prop. Use a glue gun for best results.

Photo frame: Cover a frame with bits and pieces of bark using a glue gun. Place a photo of your family on a nature walk inside.

BIRCH BARK Since we have an abundance of beautiful birch bark strewn in the woods where we walk and hike, I use the outer thin layer for unique craft projects and as a fire starter.

Cards: Place a thin layer of bark between heavy books for a day or two to flatten it, then trim the edges and write a note to someone directly on the © 2019 Donna Erickson dislightest side of the bark with tributed by King Features pen. Tuck it in an envelope and Synd.

In ancient Egypt, a rich man would not write his own letters but would travel with a scribe who wrote his letters for him. The scribe used a crude pen that had to be dipped in ink; he carried it on a stone with a slight hollow. As more learned to write, the ink holders became fancier, and carved stones like jade or marble were used.

Liquid ink, a mixture of the blackening and liquid, made a different type of inkwell necessary. A traveling man had a pen and ink in a leakproof container made of ceramic, glass, shells, or later, metal or plastic.

The era of the inkwells that interests most collectors began in the 18th century.

Elaborate ceramic containers to hold ink on a desk as part of a set in an inkstand were important accessories. Soon all inkwells were glass set in metal or other leakproof containers that could screw or clamp shut.

One of the most unusual is the porcelain “snail,” a revolving, tilting inkwell. It looks like a snail shell on a metal frame standing on a saucer. The bottle revolves so the snail’s head tilts up, exposing the opening for the pen. There are even twin snail holders.

When the fountain pen was invented by Lewis Waterman in 1880, the need for inkwells vanished. Then, in 1939, the ballpoint pen debuted.

Few now use pen and ink, but collectors search for old inkwells. A snail inkwell sold at a Glass Works online bottle auction in New Jersey recently for $156. It was made of white porcelain and decorated with hand-painted multicolored flowers.

I inherited over 30 6yBossons wall head sculptures and I don’t really want them. Could you recommend an organization or collectors group that might help me find a buyer for them?

Bossons character wall masks were made by W. H. Bossons, Ltd. Company in Congleton, England, from 1946 to 1996. W. H. Bossons and his son, Ray Bossons, trained as potters and designed the pieces. After W. H. died in 1951, Ray ran the business.

The company also made figurines, shelf ornaments, plaques, lamp bases, bookends, wall clocks, thermometers, barometers and more.

There is limited interest in the wall sculptures today, and they are hard to sell. Try contacting the International Bossons Collectors Society at www.bossons.org to reach collectors. One sculpture could sell at retail for $35 to $100.

AgriTrucker BRIEFS GM plant workers approve contract

will be ratified.

About 49,000 UAW workers went on strike against GM Sept. 16, crippling GM’s U.S. factories and costing the company an estimated $2 billion.

DETROIT (AP) — Workers at one of the largest General Motors factories have voted to ratify a new contract with the company, an indication that a five-week strike could be coming to an end.

United Auto Workers Local 598 at a pickup truck plant in Flint approved the contract Oct. 23. The local’s Facebook page says 60.9% voted in favor, while 39.1% were against. About 5,000 union members work at the plant.

The Flint local is the second-largest in the nation, so its approval is a strong sign the contract

Gov. holds Trump to ethanol promise DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Gov. Kim Reynolds said she is taking President Donald Trump at his word that he will uphold an agreement made with farm state lawmakers and agriculture groups to maintain the ethanol requirements in current law.

Since Trump became president, the Environmental Protection Agency has given 85 oil refineries exemptions from

blending ethanol into the gasoline they sell. That has removed 4 billion gallons of corn-based ethanol from the market, leading to ethanol plant closures and angering farmers.

On Oct. 4, Trump committed to ensuring in coming years that any exempted ethanol would be replenished by the remaining refineries. However, an EPA rule released last week did not include the agreed upon language to guarantee the required 15 billion gallons of ethanol each year is blended into the nation’s fuel supply.

Reynolds said Trump is trying to satisfy the oil and agriculture industries.

Reynolds said she’ll push the EPA to fulfill Trump’s promises.

Cattle with feet, leg issues culled earlier than normal

Walking in the shadow of hope

By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Developing a genetic evaluation for feet and legs of cattle can help producers improve their herds.

“Good stewardship necessitates that we focus on genetic improvement in this area to decrease the number of welfare incidents in our production system,” said Bob Weaber, professor and Extension cow/calf specialist at Kansas State University.

“Any time we cull a female before her productive life has paid back her development cost, we experience a loss,” Weaber said during a webinar hosted by the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium.

“We should consider making some genetic improvement because we know replacement females are one of the major cost centers in cattle production at the cow/ calf level.”

In addition, bulls with feet issues will require them to be culled earlier than they would normally be removed from the breeding herd.

“Getting bulls back because they have a problem related to feet and leg structure doesn’t provide very good customer service to clients,” Weaber said.

One of the challenges related to feet and legs is deciding what to score.

“And the surface the animal is standing on when you score it can make a big difference on how easy or difficult it is to score the feet,” Weaber said.

“There is not a lot of work done to look at the relationship between the claw set and cow stayability,” he said. “That is an opportunity as we collect more data to look at that and understand those relationships.”

“People interpret that the things we select for are things we care about,” he said. “That is true for commercial customers that buy bulls, and it highlights to consumers that these are important issues that we strive to improve in our production system.”

Researchers have considered lots of ways to evaluate the structure of cattle feet and legs. Those attributes include shoulder angle, front leg and knee orientation, hip and stifle set, hock set and hoof attributes such as toe angle, toe shape and heel depth.

“The shoulder angle affects how the foot and

toe performs on those animals,” Weaber said.

“The hock set affects how the rear foot comes to the ground and grows in terms of the toe shape, toe length and heel depth.”

The American Angus Association has initiated a scoring system, Weaber said, and breeders are actively collecting data on two traits — foot angle and claw set.

“They score the worst foot on the animal and they are finding heritabilities around 0.25,” he said.

“It is important to score the animals before trimming hooves because trimming has a tendency to correct the problems,” he said.

Warren Snelling, a research scientist at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, Nebraska, talked about the work he has done on stayability tools to select for efficient cows, during the webinar.

“The definition I have for an efficient cow is she is a fertile cow,” Snelling said.

“Increasing fer tility gives you more calves, fewer cull cows so you don’t need as many replacements, you’re not spending as much developing heifers and you have fewer heifers calving so you’ll have lower dystocia,” he said.

Stayability is a binary measure, Snelling said.

“You either have success or failure,” he said.

“You don’t pick up differences like cows that conceive early in the breeding season.”

Researchers are interested in how stayability might be related to cow weight and efficiencies.

“We have annual records of cow weights so we can look at correlations between growth, productivity and weight,” Snelling said.

“Things we need to work on now are economic values for productivity and maybe working these traits into selection indexes,” he said.

“One of the problems we have now is that we’ve got lots of cows that are genotyped, but we may not have genotypes on their contemporaries that have been culled before they were genotyped,” he said. “There may be some unintentional bias until we get complete genotypes on females.”

Michigan delays cage-free hen law LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A divided Michigan Senate has voted to delay a requirement that farm animals confined in small cages and stalls be given more room.

Legislation approved 21-17 on Oct. 24 would push back standards that are scheduled to take effect this month for egg-laying hens and pregnant pigs.

Farmers would not

The first obvious sign of the season-long flood is a perfectly level, 3-foot-high ring of dried mud on the machine shed’s siding. Nature put it there and, in time, Farm & Food will likely wash it away.

File Across the road, 100 feet behind a Alan Guebert noticeably tilting mailbox, stands the empty, sagging farmhouse of my youth. It sports no mud ring because it sits on a small, sandy rise that isn’t evident unless you’re on a bicycle or roller skates.

The house, however, has bigger problems than mud. Water filled its original cellar and basement for the first time since the tall, imposing levees were built to protect it and the surrounding farm from the Mississippi River in the early 1950s. But the levees also made the now-protected river bottoms into a bathtub that, once filled with record rainfall, has nowhere to drain.

The floodwater, made stale by summer heat, now grows mold in every shady spot on the house’s exterior. It especially prospers on the screened-in porch where my great Uncle Honey napped after our daily noon dinners.

Now the walls appear to nap as each sags noticeably toward the torn screen door my father walked through a million times on his way to and from the fields and milking parlor.

I don’t go inside — it’s not my family’s house anymore — but the interior might be worse than the exterior because several windows are open, presumably, to air out the rooms my brothers, sister, and I sweated and froze in 50 years ago. Curtains flutter in the October

The farmhouse of my youth is begging for the bulldozer. breeze.

Other, more terminal signs — broken storm windows, patches of missing siding, a disconnected gas meter, remnants of a tattered American flag — point to the farmhouse’s begging-for-the-bulldozer appearance. It has been on a downward path since my parents sold the farm 20 years ago and it now looks like it will soon hit bottom.

In truth, the bottom was never that far off when we lived there.

Until I was 5 or 6, the house’s furnace was a woodstove in the kitchen. There was no proper basement to flood until my father had one dug in the mid-1960s. Air conditioning finally arrived the year I left for college.

Moreover, the house stood out for what it didn’t have — a dining room, a second bathroom, built-in closets, level floors, a heated upstairs — than what it did have: one electrical outlet per room, salamanders and turtles in the basement, and a front door that no one but traveling salesmen ever knocked on.

And yet it somehow still stands, barely, now at the confounding intersection of practicality and sentimentality. By almost every farm measure, it should be knocked

down to raise more corn and soybeans, not left to raise more farm children and memories.

Instead, it has been left to wither and age, much like our farm programs, disgracefully and unforgivably so. In their best days, both were simple, unadorned structures designed and built to serve hardworking people. Now, without foolishly large infusions of cash, both fail quickly and completely.

Ironically, the most enduring feature on the tired, wreck of a house is its green, steel roof. I can’t remember who put it on, Dad or the new owner, but it was a supremely hopeful act to put a 100-year roof on a 100-year-old farmhouse less than a mile from one of the fiercest, flood prone rivers in the world.

I like that roof. I like its hope, forlorn or misplaced as it may now be, and I hope the owners allow it to stand as testament to the hopeful, hardworking people who once found their futures under it.

In addition to words from industry professionals,

the National FFA officers will be giving their retiring addresses.

These addresses give members a glimpse into “a year in the life” of a national officer and encourage members to continue to “Learn to Do.” 3. Rodeo — Get your boots on and check out the “World’s Toughest Rodeo” that takes place at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. There will be bull riding, saddle bronc riding and bareback riding. This event is always a hit for FFA members.

5. Expo and Shopping Mall — Make sure to check out the Shopping Mall and Career Fair. Here you will be able to talk to universities and businesses from across the country, discover some new fundraising opportunities for your chapter and buy some new FFA apparel.

6. Band, Chorus and Talent — During the sessions, there will be time to hear from the amazing band, chorus and talent acts. These talented members arrive in Indianapolis early to start practicing for all of their performances. Catch them performing on the session stage, in the career fair, during the parade and in various pop-up locations

throughout the week. You don’t want to miss hearing from these groups.

7. Illinois Winners on Stage — At every session be ready to cheer on the members of Illinois FFA as they go across the stage.

Illinois Association FFA will be represented by CDE winners, AgriScience Fair participants, National Proficiency Finalists, National Chapter Award winners, Model of Excellence Award winners, Star Candidates and our National Officer Candidate Miriam Hoffman going across the stage. Be loud and be proud of our Illinois FFA members.

8. Tours — Throughout the week there will be opportunities for you and your chapter to go on educational tours. The tours range from visiting the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, visiting ADM, visiting a local dairy farm and much more. Make sure to sign up for the tours and expand your knowledge about agriculture.

9. Concerts — This year the concerts will be held in the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Get your tickets ready for Old Dominion and Brett Young. The concerts are always a great way to make some memories with your chapter.

10. Food — There are food trucks on FFA Way, restaurants all over town and food inside the Convention Center and Mall.

There will definitely be something for everyone to enjoy.

The countdown to the national convention is on. Are you ready?

On one of my flights earlier this year, I sat next to a lady who wanted to have a Zippy Duvall conversation. She asked me American what I do, Farm Bureau so I told Federation her I’m president of the American Farm Bureau, the nation’s largest general farm organization.

She then asked me if I was a farmer, and I said, “Yes, I raise cattle, hay and chickens.” Then, she asked, “Are you one of those factory farmers?”

There it is — that question based on a lack of understanding at best or a bias against modern agriculture at worst.

But instead of letting the question irritate me, I took it as an opportunity to help her understand why that term, factory farm, isn’t accurate or fair to today’s farmers and ranchers.

I was able to share that 98% of farms are owned by individuals, family partnerships or family corporations, and 87% of U.S. ag products sold are produced on family farms or ranches.

I had that fact at the ready because of “Food

and Farm Facts,” a book printed by the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture to answer questions such as, “Where does our food come from, and who grows it?”

Agriculture touches all of us every day, whether it’s through the food on our plates, the wood in our homes, the flowers around our front door, the cotton in our towels and clothes, the fuel in our cars and even some of the proteins in our pharmaceuticals. So, it’s natural that people want to know more about how those things are produced.

Farmers and ranchers wish more people understood the many ways in which agriculture makes our lives better. But we’re doing more than wishing.

The “Food and Farm Facts” book, map and teaching guides are great tools that help us inform people that agriculture is amazing and amazingly diverse.

Did you know that farm and ranch families are just 2% of the U.S. population, but that 2% grows all the agricultural products we need?

Did you know that one U.S. farm can produce enough food, fiber and other farm products for 166 people annually? Or, that advanced conservation practices are used on more than half the

farmland in production today?

Farmers and ranchers have a great story to tell, and “Food and Farm Facts” helps them tell it.

New in this year’s update of the booklet is information about how all of us can help reduce food waste. Farmers and ranchers want to see what they grow get eaten.

No one wants to see what they’ve worked, for the better part of a year, to produce get thrown into the trash.

One of my favorite parts of “Food and Farm Facts” is the “Abundant Agriculture” map, showing the primary agricultural products in each state. There’s also a pocket guide for anyone who wants to have ag facts handy for conversations that pop up like the one I had on the airplane.

For teachers and other educators, there are lesson plans and other resources available on the foundation’s website.

These resources are tied to education standards, so teachers can fulfill requirements from reading comprehension and social studies to science and math by teaching about agriculture.

With the new “Food and Farm Facts” available, I hope you will look for ways to get the information out. Help spread

Dodging a bullet in 2020 In the absence of crop problems in the U.S. or elsewhere on the globe, the marCommodity ag kets and Insight primarily grain Jerry Welch prices will remain under pressure as supplies will be ample to burdensome over the next several years.

That may change, of course, depending on Mother Nature — or, a meaningful trade deal with China is struck where they commit to buying copious amounts of U.S. ag products.

But without crop problems or Chinese buying, there is nothing on the horizon to suggest the U.S. commodity values have anywhere to go but south from current levels.

The problem facing the U.S. ag markets is crystal clear: There is too much of everything amid poor demand. Rallies will be hard fought and those that do best will be those on the sell side of the ledger, not the buy side. And, unfortunately, that has been the scenario facing farmers and ranchers for the past several years.

In June 2018, a column I penned for this newspaper, entitled “Super cycle has returned,” I stated in the opening paragraph the following: “After declining for a record five years in a row, it seems the odds are high that hard assets in general will post a year-over-year gain. For agricultural producers that is great news because selling into a rising market is far more profitable than selling into a declining market.”

But as we now know,

the trade war with China that began in March 2018 simply killed the rally with commodities that was well underway when I wrote the column above.

Since then, the value of most U.S. ag markets has been leaking badly. To my chagrin, I might add.

Still, based on history, the wild card for all U.S. ag markets is Mother Nature. She has the power to turn declining markets into rising bull markets in a growing season.

And though the nearterm outlook for most ag markets is bearish with burdensome supplies and lousy demand capping rallies, the time should be at hand for weather problems to surface and change the outlook for grains and livestock for the first time in years.

Over the past few decades, there were three years with horrible weather devastating crops that led to higher prices. Those years were 1983, the drought year of 1988 and flood year of 1993.

And do not forget the U.S. planting season this year was so rain soaked, and worse than 1993, the corn and soybean crops were the most delayed seeded in history. And the jury, the USDA, is still out about the size and quality of this year’s crops due to wet conditions.

Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration showed May 2019 to be the fourth warmest May in its 140year database, only behind May 2015 (second warmest), 2016 (warmest) and 2017 (third warmest) and 2018 (fourth warmest).

The 20 hottest years on record all have occurred within the past 22 years.

And the past five years in a row have been the hottest and warmest backto-back years in history,

as well.

Spring planting season in the United States kicks into gear in March.

Historically, a corn crop is made or broken in July, a soybean crop in August.

Drought-like conditions once surfaced as early as April 1988. Otherwise, hot and dry conditions impacting grain yields and production are not a worry until July and August. But I am concerned about drought-like conditions right now for the entire 2020 growing season.

I fear 2020 will be hot and dry year the likes of which has not been seen in years. The United States is long overdue for drought-like weather conditions to impact the grain and livestock markets.

The U.S. ag markets are likely headed lower into February 2020 for the reasons outlined above: A glut of supplies and lousy demand. But in late February, I expect Mother Nature to determine the fate of the grain and livestock markets going into the heart of the growing season.

The five warmest years in history, and in a row I might add, suggests 2020 will more of the same, and just possibly, much more severe.

American and global agriculture has dodged a bullet regarding droughtlike conditions for 20 of the past 22 years and for five of the past years in a row. I do not believe another bullet can be dodged.

I am guessing that the next four months have more downside potential than upside for the U.S. ag markets. But sometime in late February, the markets and prices will carve out a meaningful low and turn higher.

It all depends on Mother Nature.

Donation supports IVCC ag program OGLESBY, Ill. — The Patyk family recently made a donation to the Illinois Valley Community College Foundation to support the college’s ag program and keep the memory of their parents alive.

The monetary gift was made in memory of the late Henry and Bernice Patyk of rural Lostant by their six children: John (Debbie) of Peru; Terry (Laura) of Lostant; Marybeth (Bill) Koenen of St. Germain,

Wisconsin; Kristie (Larry) Laio of La Salle; Karen (R a ndy) Bacidore of Riverside; and Jannell (Fran) Bichl of Chicago.

“We could not think of a more appropriate thing to do for mom and dad,” said Terry Patyk, president of the La Salle County Stockman’s Association.

“Supporting ag education is a fitting tribute to them.”

Laura Patyk, a longtime elementary school teacher in Spring Valley, said to

her husband, “Education was something your parents believed in.”

IVCC agriculture instructor and co-program coordinator Willard Mott said the donation would be used to purchase equipment for an introductory animal science course that begins this spring.

Eventually, that course and all others will be taught in the ag complex to be built just south of campus.
