GREENCASTLE, Ind. — If you’ve ever wanted to volunteer to empower underserved farmers, now is your chance. The Farmer-to-Farmer Program provides technical assistance from U.S. volunteers to farmers, farm groups, agribusinesses and other institutions in developing countries. The goal is to promote sustainable improvements in food security and agricultural processing, production and marketing. Sequoia Ireland, a recruiter for the program, is searching for volunteers to lead efforts in South American coffee and cacao farms. Ireland led a webinar hosted by Purdue Women in Agriculture. “We’re an organization that represents cooperatives in the U.S. and on a global scale,” she said. “Over the last 65 years, we’ve worked in 89 countries. In 2018, we had 31 projects in 21 countries. “We helped over 400,000 farmers, including 150,000 women. Women play a huge role in agriculture.” Volunteers spend two to four weeks helping farmers strengthen their skills. “In the past, we worked in El Salvador, where farmers were experiencing pests and disease in their coffee fields, as well as their cucumbers and tomatoes,” Ireland said. “We sent a volunteer down from Illinois. She was able to provide them with measures they could take to prevent those threats from ravaging their fields.” Volunteer criteria: n U.S. citizen or green card holder. n Technical skills and experience. n Two to four weeks’ availability. n Availability to virtually meet with field staff or host organization, as well as prepare training materials prior to the in-country assignment.

American degree,” said the son of Scott and Monica Torrance. “As I went through the process for applying for the degree, my adviser mentioned something about the Star Farmer award, which I hadn’t put much thought into.” In addition to Torrance, FFA members selected as finalists for the American Star Farmer award include: Todd Peterson, Sabina, Ohio; Garret Talcott, Bennet, Nebraska; and Willis Wolf, Merced, California. Torrance was really surprised when he learned he was

a national Star finalist. “I feel blessed to be representing Illinois,” he said. “To find out I was one of the finalists was a really a shock, but in a good way.” The Star finalist started three FFA projects his freshman year that included 20 acres of corn, 20 acres of soybeans and 14 head of Hereford cattle. His projects grew to total 100 acres of corn, 100 acres of soybeans and 22 head of beef cattle.

INDIANAPOLIS — Besides meeting FFA members from all across the country and forming relationships that will last a lifetime, there will be dozens of activities for young leaders at the 92nd National FFA Convention, which will take place Oct. 30-Nov. 2 in downtown Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS — Motivational speaker Michelle Poler is on a mission to empower future leaders to choose growth over comfort, embrace their authentic selves and lead courageously. Poler will speak during the Sixth General Session at the National FFA Convention at 7 p.m. on Nov. 1. “The enemy of success is not failure — it’s actually comfort,” she said. “Sometimes the things we want the most are just one Poler act of bravery away.” Poler is founder of Hello Fears, a social movement empowering millions to step outside of the comfort zone and tap into their full potential. To redefine her definition of fear, Poler completed a project in which she faced 100 fears in 100 days.

“I’m really excited to see the delegate process and to go vote on issues,” said Caitlyn Lewis, who serves as the Indiana FFA secretary. Muhlenkamp noted that he and the fellow delegates during the business session of the National FFA Convention will be updating the constitution and bylaws to go along with the National FFA charter. “We are really looking forward to representing the state FFA the best we can at convention,” Lewis said.

“For my corn and soybean projects, I am in charge of making seed decisions and planting decisions to determine when is a good time to plant,” Torrance said. “As the year went on, I decided what things I should do to control pests through chemical means or other ways and also I did the harvesting and marketing of my crops.” In addition, to the daily care for his cattle, Torrance also made breeding decisions for his animals, as well as how to market his heifers and bulls. “I sold cattle through private treaty,” he said. “And my dad has two or three online sales each year, and he let me put some of my animals into his sales.” Torrance also enjoyed exhibiting his cattle at several shows. “I started showing around 8 years old, and my first year we went to three county fairs,” he said. Now, Torrance exhibits his cattle at the Illinois Hereford Junior Preview Show, the Junior National Hereford Expo, the Illinois State Fair and his county fair when his schedule allows. “Showing my cattle is pretty much the highlight of every summer,” he said. “Working with the cattle, washing show cattle and going to shows, that’s most of the summers.” The junior showman has achieved success with his entries.

“Dr. Howard Brown was at the booth next to us, and he offered me to be in the N-Watch trial,” she said. For the N-Watch part of Haag’s FFA project, she tests four fields on her farm. “I test one spot in the field to give me a reading of how much nitrogen is in the soil at that given time at the 1-foot and 2-foot levels,” Haag said. “I also test the water tiles around our fields for nitrogen, so not only do I know how much is in the field, but I also know how much is leaving our fields.”

Nicholas Torrance puts hay into the feeder for his Hereford cattle. “I raised the Champion Horned Hereford bull at the Illinois State Fair, and I raised a couple division and reserve division champions at the Junior Nationals,” he said. Now a sophomore at the University of Illinois studying crop science with a minor in animal science, Torrance enjoyed several FFA activities as a high school student including the agronomy, meats, land use and livestock career development events. “I’m taking a weeds class now, and we took a quiz for identifying weeds,” he said. “A lot of the weeds were the same ones I learned for the agronomy contest through FFA.” Currently advised by Wyatt McGrew, Torrance’s path in FFA is a little different than many members. “My high school didn’t have an ag program my freshman year, so I attended West Prairie High School for FFA,” he said. “Every morning, we took a bus to the school for ag classes and came back to Macomb for the rest of the day.” The ag program started at Macomb for the Star finalist’s second year of high school. Torrance

held FFA offices each year in high school, including greenhand treasurer as a freshman, historian during his sophomore year, treasurer as a junior and president during his senior year. In addition to his advisers, Torrance said, his parents are a very important part of his FFA achievements. “I followed my dad around, trying to learn as much as I could from him, and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without him,” he said. “My mom helped me with organization and time management skills, and she also helped with the show cattle during the summer.” After completing his degree at the U of I, Torrance plans to return to his family farm. “I would like to take over the management role some day,” he said. “I don’t think my dad will ever fully be retired, but I try to learn as much as I can so when that day comes I’ll be prepared.” Martha Blum can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 117, or marthablum@ agrinews-pubs.com.

THE DIRT ON SOIL Haag’s soil testing work is part of the farm’s comprehensive nutrient management plan. “I do soil tests on every field, every three years to test for potassium, phosphorus and pH,” she said. “For my manure project, I help to apply manure that is injected on our fields.” The FFA member also established nitrogen trial plots. “I’ve been testing different sources and rates of nitrogen to see which is the most efficient use of nitrogen,” she said. “I’m testing the four Rs of nitrogen — right place, right time, right source and right rate.” In addition serving as her chapter’s greenhand vice president, secretary for two years and vice president, Haag also enjoyed attending the FFA

state and national conventions. “There are so many FFA activities I really enjoyed, including the veterinary science and food science career development events,” Haag said. “The honor of wearing the blue jacket next to so many others and knowing that so many people before me wore the blue jacket really touches home with me,” she said. “And knowing that my dad had a blue jacket, too.” Both Haag’s grandpa and dad have supported her to complete her FFA projects. “In all my endeavors and any project I wanted to start, they are always willing to put in a hand when needed,” Haag said. “As well as my FFA adviser, Diana Loschen, who pushed me when I thought I didn’t need a push,” she said. “I am super grateful she pushed me.” Haag is currently a senior at the University of Illinois, where she is studying agriculture leadership education and communications. After obtaining her degree, Haag’s goal is to teach agriculture literacy for a group such as the Farm Bureau or Extension. “And hopefully I will be close to home so I can help on the farm and continue my research,” she said.

Vietnam trade trek nets $5M in sales McKinney leads mission to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

HANOI, VIETNAM — Ted McKinney led an agriculture trade mission to Vietnam, where more than $5 million in sales are expected to have been made. McKinney, undersecretary for trade and foreign agricultural affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was accompanied Oct. 15-18 by nearly 80 industry and government representatives. It was the third-largest ag trade mission to date. “The size of this trade mission delegation speaks to the phenomenal potential that exists for U.S. exporters in Vietnam and surrounding countries,” McKinney said. There were 34 companies and 13 state departments of agriculture represented on the trip. A total of 665 sales meetings were conducted in three days. Vietnam was chosen for the mission for its rapidly growing economy and interest in U.S. food and agricultural products. “We do three things on these trips,” McKinney said. “We always bring along people who are going to sell stuff. These may be branded companies or sometimes commodity groups. “Meanwhile the rest of us are off doing two other things: visiting customers and doing government-to-government meetings.” The mission included stops in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Buyer delegations from Thailand and Myanmar also were held. “As with many countries, we’re always working back and forth to gain further access to their markets,” McKinney said. “We’re very pleased to report that recently we were given access to the fresh blueberry (market) in Vietnam and in exchange Vietnamese mangos be-

That’s the kind of thing we’re doing.” McKinney described relations between Vietnam and the United States as outstanding. “We see enormous potential for food, agriculture and fuel,

maybe even fiber products, going from the U.S. to Vietnam,” he said. “Clearly, the U.S. is a country they want to do business with. And without any doubt, Vietnam is a place we want to do business with.”

Two more ag trade missions will be held this year to Ghana and Mexico. McKinney anticipates seven or more ag trade missions in 2020. Learn more about USDA trade missions by visiting www.fas. usda.gov/topics/trade-missions

Vietnam, U.S. trade on the upswing By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WASHINGTON – U.S. agricultural exports to Vietnam have skyrocketed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service. “Since the United States normalized relations with Vietnam in 1995, our agricultural exports have grown exponentially, reaching a record $4 billion last year,” said Ted McKinney, undersecretary for trade and foreign agricultural affairs at USDA. “Sales of U.S. food and farm products to Thailand and Myanmar also set records in 2018, topping $2.1 billion and $126 million, respectively.”

The country’s soaring GDP growth is fueling demand for high-value, consumer-oriented products. Vietnamese consumers have a high regard for the quality and safety of American food products, according to FAS. Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar are part of the fastest developing region in the world and account for roughly 221 million of Southeast Asia’s population. The FAS shared top prospects for U.S. ag exports in Vietnam: Dairy: U.S. exports of dairy to Vietnam reached $145 million in 2018, a 29% increase from 2017. Despite strong competition from countries that enjoy preferential tariffs via free trade agreements with Vietnam, U.S.

dairy products have a strong position in the Vietnamese market. Hardwood: Demand for hardwood lumber and timber in Vietnam continues to rise, as the wood processing industry remains a main contributor to the country’s economic growth and foreign exchange earnings. Meat products: Vietnam’s consumption of meat has risen over the last decade in line with the growing middle-class. The country’s booming hotel, restaurant and industry sectors continue to drive up the demand for imported beef, pork, poultry and seafood. Cotton: Cotton has emerged as the leading U.S. agricultural export product to Vietnam over the past five years. Cotton ex-

According to the U.S. Foreign Agricultural Service, Vietnam accounted for $4 billion in U.S. agricultural exports in 2018. ports now account for 49% of all U.S. agricultural exports to Vietnam. Food preparations/miscellaneous beverages: As annual tourism and disposable income increase in Vietnam, consumer demand for prepared foods is rising.

Other goods: Vietnam’s imports of fresh vegetables have grown considerably to reach $920 million last year. However, the United States exported only $1 million, consisting mostly of fresh potatoes. Learn more at: www.fas.usda. gov.

Q&A: JAMES FUNG

New CEO of ICIA has a ‘passion’ for agriculture By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

LAFAYETTE, Ind. — James Fung was recently appointed as the CEO of Indiana Crop Improvement Association, replacing Alan Galbreth, who retired this summer. The association leads the industry in seed certification, seed quality testing, genetic testing and research. Fung shared his story with AgriNews. Any fun facts about your career that you’d like to share? “I literally stumbled into agriculture, but have loved it ever since. As a chemical engineer, working at a fumigant gas manufacturing plant, I took a rare opportunity to be a sales rep for the product. “From sales in pest management came commercial and supply chain roles in seeds. A grown man at age 35, I was in a cornfield for the first time. I felt the greatness of Mother Earth providing for all of earth’s creatures. I knew then I had found passion in agriculture.”

development of advanced technologies. “We certify seed produced in Indiana and continue to expand our services in seed quality and purity testing as well as field inspections far beyond Indiana borders.” What is your vision for the future of the organization? “With such a long and rich history of over 100 years, my goal is to continue its legacy of integrity and unbiased service to our association members and the industry.”

What did you do before coming to this job? “Before ICIA, I was a business unit director providing fleet management services for bulk seed boxes. This service eliminated the pain points for seed companies who own fleets of tens to hundreds of thousands of seed boxes by washing, repairing and storing them after planting and making them available again for packaging next season’s seed. “Prior to that, I spent 21 years at Dow Chemical/Dow AgroSciences in manufacturing, What are your main responsibilities commercial and supply chain as CEO of ICIA? roles. “I am responsible for leading “I recall the drought years of our team to ensure reliable 2010-2012 where quality was services and exceptional cusmarginal and supply was extomer experience.

The extra space has been needed over the last couple years as our volumes have continually increased. “We are now poised for many more years of growth, and we anticipate our customers will be pleased with our increased expediency and throughput.” Is there anything you’d like farmers to know about ICIA? “ICIA are experts in seed and seed testing. Many farmers are not aware of the depth and detail of seeds technology, standards, testing, laws and implications. It is a very interesting field of study in itself. “In our labs, we test seeds for germination, vigor, purity and genetic purity. Out in the fields, our inspectors ensure the seed field meets purity standards from planting to harvest and bin storage. “Our work helps our member seed companies grow the highest quality crop that ultimately benefit the farmers with the best yield potential.” Learn more about ICIA at: www.indianacrop.org.

High demand for fall fertilizer applications By Tom C. Doran

When you’re set up to run anhydrous, you’re set up to run anhydrous.” Unpredictable weather has led to a challenging planting and growing season. That also leads to questions when making input purchasing decisions and fall fertilizer application plans. “The typical weather is the atypical now moving forward. I think we’re going to see continued variation and changes there. The best thing a farmer can do is be as best prepared as they can, have a plan and be able to change that as they go, which makes it extremely difficult,” Patton said. “We see that from a manufacturing standpoint. For me to forecast what kind of product we’re going to need six, eight, 10, 12 months year out makes it extremely difficult because we don’t know what the weather patterns are going to be that time of year. It’s tough on everybody in the industry.”

DECATUR, Ill. — With record high prevented plant acres and last fall’s anhydrous application challenges, there’s speculation the post-planting season will be busy for the fertilizer industry. “We’re all focused on 2020 right now, and starting 2020 off starts with a great fall. I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand right now for a lot of fall anhydrous to run, especially in Illinois in areas where there’s a lot more prevent plant acres,” said Tyler Patton, Corteva Agriscience U.S. soil health product manager. “We think we’ll see a lot of demand, especially on prevent plant acres if the weather cooperates.” Illinois has over 1.5 million prevented plant acres, Indiana’s is estimated at 944,000, Iowa has over 463,000 and there are about 1.395 million in Missouri, according to the Farm Service Agency. “Who knows what this harvest is going to do, depending on when folks planted. Corn is coming off late pretty much no matter where you go. Folks might take soybeans out early, and there may be chance to run on those acres, as well,” Patton said. “We’re prepared and ready to go, but weather has to cooperate.

“We have a large sales force with crop protection territory managers, as well as our seed counterparts that are out there. They get up every day and think about how they’re going to help the farmer. They are always available, all of the time to help adjust plans as needed. I think that’s our No. 1 resource,” Patton noted. “We continually produce new data on existing products, and from a research and development standpoint, we’re always producing more. We’re spending millions of dollars on R&D and we’re committed to that and hopefully that helps alleviate some of these changing conditions.” NEW STABILIZER Corteva Agriscience launched a new above-ground nitrogen stabilizer earlier this year for spring applications. PinnitMax prevents volatilization of urea and UAN applications for up to 14 days, helping ensure the nitrogen gets into the root zone for optimum crop intake. The product joins N-Serve and Instinct nitrogen stabilizers in Corteva Agriscience’s existing nitrogen maximizer portfolio. N-Serve is for below-ground anhydrous ammonia applications and Instinct for below-ground urea, UAN and manure applications. Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@ agrinews-pubs.com.

New dry fertilizer blend tower highlighted at Midwest Ag Expo By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A combination of speed, accuracy and capacity were on display via a mixed reality experience at the Midwest Ag Industries Exposition. Show attendees wearing reality glasses were able to see an animated, holographic model of the GSI InterSystems dry fertilizer blend tower. Four simulated platform levels were featured to demonstrate how each component works. Nate Reznechek, GSI’s crop nutrient equipment sales director, said the GSI InterSystems engineered-to-order fertilizer systems enable ag retailers to go beyond standard with full-site solutions that include an advanced blending tower. The dry crop nutrients delivery system design focuses on speed, blend quality, safety and flexibility. “There’s speed that’s all the way from the top with up to 300 tons of storage, all the way through our full-open dual stage gates, double weigh hoppers, eight-ton horizontal mixer that can batch blend eight tons inside of 45 seconds into a 16-ton surge hopper below. So, everything is big. Everything is fully open. We have sharp angles so the product flows right through quickly,” Reznechek said. “For blend quality, our eightton horizontal twin shaft highspeed all stainless mixer gets us there. It can batch that eight tons in 45 seconds. It’s an A-grade blend. You don’t get anything better than that, and you have impregnation ability with that, as well. “The final thing is flexibility. No one really knows what the future holds and what new products we’re going to be blending, so having that robust ability to be flexible. “Another feature we have is split-pan spouting inside of our tower. So, you can take a prod-

That helps speeds the process up, as well.” Safety features include a full height stairs options that can start from grade that are Occupational Safety and Health Administration-approved with a 40 degree rise and standard 24inch wide steps. “With up to 300 tons storage and 12 different storage compartments, you have the ability to impregnate all of those things. It allows your business to adapt to the changing conditions. And,

of course, it’s a fully automated system that allows one person to be able to manage the operation of this tower, not several people like in the past,” Reznechek said. “This will fill 13 24-ton trucks inside of an hour. Product flows from the top of the tower into the truck in less than five minutes. That’s pushing a lot of product. If your operation doesn’t need that kind of throughput and blend quality, there are other cheaper options that have less, but there are tradeoffs of course with all of that.”

The downward trend in western corn rootworm populations continued in 2019, Kelly Estes, University of Illinois state ag pest survey coordinator, reported at the annual Agronomy Day.

Saturated soils hold down bug pressure By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The lengthy wet spring that pushed planting later and later also kept western corn rootworm numbers down across chunks of Illinois. Kelly Estes, University of Illinois state ag pest survey coordinator, said there were a lot of question entering 2019 if the arctic temperatures would impact insect populations. “We weren’t sure and as we headed into spring we ended up with record precipitation and consecutive months of precipitation that led to delayed planting, no planting and just more chaos,” Estes said at U of I’s Agronomy Day. “The wet spring and early summer led into a very dry July in some areas at about the time we were beginning to do the survey.” It turned out to be good news in terms of lower western corn rootworm populations with the Illinois average down to 0.10 rootworms per plant this year. The average in 2018 was 0.11 per plant, and it was 0.51 in 2017. Estes noted the higher levels in 2017 were primarily due to a heavily infested field in Kane County that drove up the average. “This year, we had a very wet spring, saturated soils, rootworms can’t swim, no corn (due to late planting) and they starved, but there were areas that we did see survival,” she said. The survey found larger western corn rootworm numbers in the west-southwest crop reporting district. “They were primarily from one field in Greene County which by our best guess was a non-GMO field. There were a couple of sites in Christian County that were lower than Greene, but had more than zero. We had a few rootworms show up in Iroquois, Champaign, McLean and Logan counties in corn,” Estes said. Similar lower populations were found in soybeans that were below 2018. “Our bigger numbers in soybeans came out of Iroquois and Champaign counties, but overall very low numbers of western corn rootworms across the states. Grundy County as our lone county in the northeast that had rootworms in soybeans and Coles County was the lone county in the east-southeast crop reporting district that had western corn rootworms in soybeans,” Estes said. FEWER BEETLES The survey found lower Japanese beetle counts across the state, but there were heavy pockets. The 2019 state average for Japanese beetles was 19.6 per 100 sweeps compared to 47.8 in last year and 28.3 in 2017. However, larger numbers were fond in the northeast and east-central crop reporting districts in Illinois with averages of 52.6 and 51.3, respectively. The lower numbers overall was primarily attributed to the wet spring and saturated soils. “In 2019, everything was lower across the state except for Champaign, Iroquois and Livingston counties that all

had higher Japanese beetle numbers. We got into Iroquois County, the northern part of Ford County and Livingston County where it also had some of the higher prevent plant acres that we’ve seen when we were out as well,” Estes said. “As we traveled the state, we got to see a good indication of who planted and who didn’t, and there was also such great variation in crop development stages this year in soybeans. We’re generally sweeping R state soybeans that are waist to chest high, and we were rarely in waist-high beans. Almost everything was between waist and knee, and there were a few that were barely past my ankle. “We tried to avoid sweeping those just because you get a better indication of insect pressure in soybeans that are a little farther along bit it was still every

interesting to see that at the end of July.” OTHER BUGS After a year when numbers were on the rise, defoliating insects such as grasshoppers, stink bugs, loopers and cloverworm populations were low in 2019 with the exception of the southern part of Illinois. Bean leaf beetles and grape colaspis are typically sporadic and that continued to be the trend this year. “We hit some areas that had very high grape colaspis. We had seen in past years more grape colaspis in the east and southeast, but those numbers were pretty low this year. We did pick up grape colaspis in the west-central area this year, but not at very high levels,” Estes said. Northern corn rootworms numbers were also low, except for a few hot spots in Ford and Lee counties. Dectes stem borer was added to this year’s survey. “Dectes stem borer has been a concern in the southeast part of Illinois, particularly as we get down into the very southeast where they’re seeing higher numbers and injury caused by Dectes stem borer. We get into places like Wayne, Saline and Gallatin counties and they’re averaging 7 per 100 sweeps, which I considered pretty high at the time,” Estes noted. “We found it in different counties in the southern half of the state. We were also surprised to see it in higher numbers in Pike County. We picked it up in every field we surveyed in Pike County. We had seen it in DeKalb County in 2003. We know they’re there, but probably just in lower numbers across the state and we’re seeing must higher numbers in the south.”

Prices in holding pattern More questions than answers in current market By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MCHENRY, Ill. — Market analysts believe corn and soybeans are appropriately priced based on what is known on the supply and demand sides, but don’t expect any final answers about this year’s crop until early 2020 — and then there’s the trade issues. Allendale’s president Steve Georgy and chief strategist Rich Nelson reviewed both the current U.S. Department of Agriculture data and the “what-if” scenarios in a webinar Oct. 15. Here’s what they had to say in the Q&A portion of the webinar. China obviously has been the big story. Can we play the “what if” game and what if the trade deal goes through and what if China makes some major ag purchases as they seemingly promised? What would the balance sheets look like if that should happen? Nelson: “Let’s say China buys 30 million tons of soybeans and ship it out all of the way through next August. That 30 million tons in this marketing year gets us about 1.1 billion bushels, and that’s about 600 million bushels over what was done this past year. So, that’s good news. “Some of that 600 million bushels will be offset because we have a lot of new business in the European Union and others, but you can certainly argue in this case that would probably translate into a good 300 million, 400 million bushels — exciting export numbers. “You have a lot of people in the industry suggesting zero ending stocks, and those types are very exciting numbers. Keep in mind some of that will be offset by crush and other factors. “If China does buy 30 million tons and they’re all allocated for this marketing year and we ship it all out by the end of August, that would obviously be really exciting. “Because we see some offset in other areas, our ending stocks number if this occurs would be at 200 million to about 280 million bushels in that specific case. If this whole deal goes through and we get this dream scenario, you’re looking at prices maybe in that $10.50 range.”

Is the market getting headline fatigue on this trade issue and getting tired of seeing the tweets about it every day? Georgy: “It absolutely is, and I think it’s one of those where we need to see something gets done. We hear one perspective. We went home Friday, (Oct. 11), hearing talk that we were going to have phase one of this deal done and it was going to be $40 billion or $50 billion of agricultural products. “We don’t know exactly what all of the agricultural products are. We don’t know where that demand is really coming to come, so there were a lot of holes, but the market had got excited, so we had this big push and this general run for the market. “But now we hear today, (Oct. 15), that maybe that $50 billion is way too high and then you get kind of this backlash. It’s almost this disappointment once again, and so I think the market is looking for something tangible. They want to see something. “There have been some sales made to China. We have seen some of that demand whereas before there was nothing. That gives us a little bit of encouragement, but there needs to be something done and the optimism you get being crushed by just the lack of, the market is tired of that. It’s something we need to see translate into some kind of action and hope-

“This market is probably stuck until we get something new.”

weeks until we get some solid information on production.”

Steve Georgy, president

Nelson: “We’ve appropriately priced ourselves according to what we know right now. There’s still a tremendous amount that we do not know. There’s still a whole lot of the year left and still a whole lot of year to change the numbers either bullish or bearish. “My concern is we won’t have a strong enough knowledge of the production side or a lot of these demand issues until a few months from now, so we’re stuck in the middle for right now.” Georgy: “The markets right now generally are looking for something in order to really gravitate us higher. Since we really don’t have that yet, it may take a couple of months before USDA gives us any kind of data or something that may generate this market to push above some of these recent highs. “As we look at where we’re at, we could get some harvest pressure just because of how late this crop is and if we get a good run here that farmers can get into the ﬁeld I wouldn’t be surprised to see maybe a little bit of setback, but overall being appropriately priced you will have some good support at lower levels yet. “The trends are still higher, and we just need to know where that is on the chart and certainly monitor that as we go forward. But a lot of opportunity as we continue to go forward, we just need to be able to grab that.”

ALLENDALE

fully we’re going to see that over the next several months. “That hopes and dreams right now is certainly playing with the markets, but the market hasn’t seemed to really react to it yet. If you look at the raw numbers, a 460 million bushel carryout for soybeans, there is good support below this market, as well. This market is probably stuck until we get something new.” The market reacted to the winter storm that hit the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota. There continues to be poor conditions in the northern Plains from the snow storm, but the market appears to have stopped caring about it. Have you heard of any major damage and are we past weather scares at this point? Georgy: “We’re not really past a weather scare yet. The thing is when we had that hype last week, that storm came in and it was well advertised and the market did react to it. We did see a rally going into last weekend. “Last week, we had a USDA report, we had the snow storm and then the phase one China talk on Friday. So, you had three things that really gave the market energy and gave the market some kind of life. But now that the storm is gone, and it’s like, ‘What’s next?’ We don’t have another one coming in the foreseeable future. “The phase one China talks is kind of being put on the backburner. And we’ve seen the backlash from the USDA report. We had that excitement and now we kind of have that hangover where we’re looking for something new. “Not to belittle anything of the issues that are going to happen, but the market is almost looking at that as a farming issue and it’s going to take a while. “It’s going to certainly be a concern as we get into those (Northern Plains) areas to get harvested and it may take a while. For now the market has kind of put that back and said now what’s next. That emotion of that storm has kind of been set aside.”

What areas of concern still remain given the late planting in some parts of the country? Nelson: “The biggest issue is going to be maturity. The weekly crop progress reports of maturity ratings and other issues are all subjective guesses. “That’s actually not careful analysis by people actually walking in the fields each week as far as the crop progress and going details analysis. It’s simply a best guess. We don’t have a true understanding of exactly how many bushels are at risk for each separate weather event. “The other concern from my end is it’s literally going to take months to get this true supply figured out. A lot of our forecasts of maturity dates averaged around Oct. 6-9, but that’s the midway point in maturity for many of these western Corn Belt states. “The concern I have is we really haven’t got into harvest of the late planted stuff yet. So, we can talk about our guesses on freeze damage, but it’s really not until November that we get a good handle on the late planted issue and we won’t get the solid numbers from USDA until the January final summary report. “I can see the market not really moving too much in the next few

Learning Circle provides information for women landowners AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

HARVARD, Ill. — Regenerative ag r iculture uses farming practices that build soil and increase biodiversity. “Regenerative agriculture takes sustainable a step higher,” said Linda Balek, far m program manager for The Land Conservancy of McHenry County. “A big part of regenerative agriculture is modeled after nature.” At one time, there were buffalo grazing on the prairie that had continuous cover of deep-rooted perennial plants, Balek said during a Learning Circle hosted by The Land Conservancy of McHenry County and the McHenryLake Soil and Water Conservation District. “The buffalo would move through the prairies, eat some of the grass and fertilize the soil,” she said. A video featuring Gabe Brown, a farmer near Bismarck, North Dakota, was shown during the meeting. “The current production model is broken, it’s not working and it’s not sustainable,” Brown said in the video. T he Nor th Da kot a farmer started making changes on his farm by using no-till and planting cover crops. “I saw a real change in the health of our soil,” he said. “In regenerative agriculture, you have to be able to use the power of observation to look at the landscape and see what the soil is telling you.” Brown highlighted several principles of regenerative agriculture including using notill for growing crops. “We have to cut back on the synthetic fertilizers, pesticides and fungicides because they have negative impacts to the soil ecosystem,” Brown said. “We need to armor the soil by leaving residue from crops,” he said. “If you leave the soil bare, it’s prone to wind and water erosion, and as temperatures rise, evaporation increases, which are negative to a healthy, functioning soil ecosystem.” Promoting diversity is an important principle of regenerative agriculture. “In production agriculture, we’re seeing monoculture cash crops and only one species of livestock on our pastures,” Brown said. “It is important to leave living roots in the soil,” he said. “The monocultures only grow for a short period of time and then there’s nothing left to grow and feed the soil biology.” Brown also highlighted the need to graze animals on the grasslands in a way that will proliferate the health of the rangelands. Spring Duffey, resource analyst and McHenry County wetland specialist for the McHenry-Lake County SWCD, talked about the Saving Tomorrow’s Agriculture Resources program during the meeting.

“T his program was started in Champaign County, and it is a way to evaluate fields to see how good you’re doing on soil health practices and water practices,” she said. A form is filled out for each field and the farmer indicates types of practices that are used such as cover crops, soil sampling, crop rotation, tillage and conservation management. “You turn that form into my office and the field is rated from one to five stars,” Duffey said. “After a field is rated, this provides you an opportunity to come up with ideas for conservation practices you would like to see utilized so you can raise the score.” The STAR program gives landowners an idea what is happening on their farm. “We offer field signs with the number of stars on them,” Duffey said. The meeting included

Low corn pest numbers offer chance to rethink options By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Consecutive years of low western corn rootworm pressure provide an opportunity to consider different management strategies. Relentless spring rains pushed western corn rootworm populations to new lows, according to a statewide pest survey. “In general, 2020 looks like it’s probably going to be a pretty low pressure year in rotated corn for rootworm beetles,” said Joe Spencer, University of Illinois entomologist and Illinois Natural History Survey principal research scientist. “It’s a good opportunity to think about how you can manage rootworm beetles, cut some of my costs and maybe reduce the pressure on resistance in rootworm beetles.” Although overall numbers may be low, populations can vary from field to field and scouting is extremely important to determine infestations. “There’s a lot of variability. You can have areas with nothing and areas that have rootworms that you don’t even think about. You can’t rely on somebody showing their summary rootworm map for the state. You have to do your own scouting. You have to look in your field because you might have a hot spot. You can’t assume you don’t have a rootworm problem,” Spencer said at U of I’s Agronomy Day. RESISTANCE Like weeds developing herbicide resistance, western corn rootworms are have developing resistance to toxins in Bt corn hybrids. Pest management strategies are important in order to maintain the current technology. Spencer provided data from trials using hybrids with no rootworm protection, a single trait hybrid with the Cry3Bb1 toxin, a single with the Cry34/35Ab1 toxin and a hybrid with both toxins. There were over 85 beetles per plant in the hybrids with no rootworm protection. In plants with the single trait Cry3Bb1, 60 beetles per plant were collected. “That was the equivalent of not really having any rootworm protection at all. That’s what we know from years of experience, that the Cry3 trait are suffering from a lot of resistance in rootworm beetles,” Spencer said. With the Cry34/35Ab1 rootworm trait, there were significantly less beetles emerging from plants, indicating that the product expressing that trait provides a significant reduction in beetle populations. “It’s a little bit strange here, but we looked at SmartStax, which combines the two Bt traits, and we had more beetles coming out than in the single trait Cry34/35Ab1. We would expect fewer, but this speaks to the variability, at a time when the rootworm eggs were already hatching. So, I think this is variability in my system,” Spencer added. “We found that if you have no Bt trait or the Cry3Bb1 trait, you had very significant damage to the roots. Cry3Bb1 expressed in corn as a single trait hybrid is the same as doing nothing to protect your corn from rootworms. There’s resistance to this trait. “There was significant reduction in root injury from rootworms with Cry34/35Ab1 and a combination of that trait and the Cry3Bb1. It tells us that the Cry34/35Ab1 trait is providing the value in Bt hybrids. That trait is what’s protecting our corn from all of these rootworm beetles.” Spencer noted that all of the western corn rootworm populations in Champaign area have resistance at different levels. “You’re just going to have variability in how many you see. However, if you want to protect your corn you need to make sure you have the Cry34/35Ab1 trait in your hybrids because it is the only Bt that’s providing protection against western corn rootworm in Champaign County plots,” he said.

PRESERVE TECHNOLOGY Given that Cry34/35Ab1 is the lone trait providing protection, it’s important that the technology be protected to extend is viability. “The low rootworm population in the area over recent years also gives us the opportunity to think that if I want to reduce the possibility that Bt resistance is going to creep up, if I don’t have an economic rootworm population and I can layoﬀ using Bt, I can reduce the pressure that could select for resistance to get worse,” Spencer said. “So, when you have a low population, if you can avoid using Bt and either if you’re planting continuous corn you rotate to soy-

beans or go with a non-Bt hybrid and soil insecticide, if that’s possible, that will reduce the rootworm pressure. “We also have to scout. You can’t just assume you don’t have a rootworm population. Scouting is really important. If you think you’re doing integrated pest management and you’re not scouting, you’re not doing integrated pest management. Scouting is one of the pillars of integrated pest management.” Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@agrinewspubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews_ Doran.

Rootworms attack corn plants from late May through July.

Burning midnight oil Well, we’ve waited five months to see what we planted in somewhat marginal seedbeds to finally mature, and here we are burning the midnight oil with candle power burning bright — as we are trying to beat the next rain, just like we did back in May. Since I do not own my own combine yet, I’m at the mercy of others. We do pick most of our corn on the ear, or shell it with the NI picker and sheller. Thankfully, Ryan Maenhaut was able to cut 25 acres of soybeans, so I could get some wheat planted. Then Davenport Farms cut the remaining soybeans midweek, so I could finish planting the rest of the wheat. This year, I used Croplan CP9415 wheat seed from Co-Alliance in Argos. Every day with the exception of one was spent in the fields either harvesting corn and soybeans, spreading fertilizer, delivering grain to Cargill, raking 42 acres of hay for a customer, chiseling soybean stubble and disking prior to sowing wheat. Even found four hours to help my brother set trusses on the main house. Wednesday was a

rainy and gloomy day, which allowed us to catch up on repairs and run over to Mullet Machinery for NI picker parts. Haven’t had a chance to average grain tickets yet to see how corn is yielding. Soybeans averaged between 50 and 65 bushels to the acre. With soybean harvest and wheat planting complete, we are focusing on corn before severe storms roll in Monday. Later next week, we plan to chop stalks and hopefully bale cornstalks. We are 40% done with corn. This weekend, Indiana huskers stormed Gothenburg, Nebraska, at Nationals where Ted Richard of Rochester took first place in Men’s Open Class, husking 674.7 pounds in 30 minutes. His grandson, Gage, took first place in Boys 14 & Under, and his friend, Marshall Finke, placed second. Clay Geyer BREMEN

Better than expected Well, as quick as we got started, it seems things are coming to an end. We finished our first-crop soybean harvest this week. Surprisingly, we had better yields than we expected.

Cannot really complain because we had a crop to harvest, but also knowing the poor planting conditions and lack of rain at the end of the season, we are very fortunate. We also got all the 2020 wheat planted. This has about got to be a record for us, as we don’t seem to get our wheat planted until late October normally, it seems. Now, as I type this, we are receiving a much-needed rain. We don’t have a burn ban in place, but we could use one. A neighbor’s yard caught on fire yesterday while burning trash. The fields are very hard also. I believe we are amid a very concerning drought. I planted wheat in a couple places that hadn’t been dry enough to plant since 2012. Most tiles are dry, and ditches are not running. The rain we’re receiving is coming at just the right time. The good Lord will take care of us. Corn harvest is progressing slowly. Corn is mostly still above 20% moisture, and yields are highly variable. The big thing that is sticking out as I talk to neighbors and customers is drainage. Drainage seems to be the only factor truly affecting the year. No matter the added sprayer passes, improved drainage is helping the most. We will hopefully begin working on helping improve more yields

A pennycress for your thoughts Grant will help professor continue work with plant By Jeannine Otto

his team need to get it right. “I want to be sure I put the best seed possible in the producer’s hand so when he puts it in te ground, he has a good experience. If he has a good experience, it’s that much easier for me to get his neighbor to grow it and then his neighbor’s neighbor,” Phippen said.

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MACOMB, Ill. — Win Phippen knows he has to get it right the very first time. “In working with new crops, you get one shot with producers,” said Phippen, professor of plant breeding and genetics at the Western Illinois Agriculture School of Agriculture. Phippen recently received a $10 million from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to use on his work researching and refining the seed genetics of pennycress. Pennycress is a winter annual that is more recognizable to farmers as a roadside weed. But the seed of the plant, resembling a penny in its seedpod, holds promise as both an oilseed crop to use for biodiesel feedstock and as a cover crop. Phippen is working with CoverCress Inc., a St. Louis-based company started by retired corn and soybean plant breeders, to get the pennycress genetics to the stage where the seed can be marketed to farmers as an option in a conventional row crop rotation. “We want to make sure we have the best varieties so we are breeding the best lines. We’ve identified the key traits we need in pennycress lines,” Phippen said. Phippen’s pennycress project includes research partners at other universities throughout the Midwest, including Illinois State University, the Ohio State University, the University of Wisconsin at Platteville and the University of Minnesota. The project’s territory covers from North Dakota to St. Louis. The goal of the program is to work toward commercializing the crop within five years. “It’s developing the protocols, working with corn growers, perhaps there are herbicide programs that are currently being used on corn that have a negative impact on pennycress. We need to be thinking what varieties of corn the pennycress is following, what herbicide programs are being used prior to planting the pennycress to make sure we get a consistent stand establishment in that corn, going through to soybean planting in the spring,” Phippen said. One of the other major goals of the program is to have not just the seed right but also all the information available to producers so

Pennycress might be familiar to many as a roadside weed, but the winter annual plant has shown promise as an oilseed and cover crop. Pennycress can be sown into crop rotations in the fall to scavenge nitrogen and help hold soil in place against wind and water erosion, then the seeds are harvested in the spring, prior to corn and soybean planting. they can succeed. That has to be done even before major field trials can take place. “We want to make sure the production protocols get w ritten correctly, that we can make recommendations for fertilizer, how to prep the ground correctly, how to deal with issues that may pop up during the growing season, insects or diseases that may come along,” Phippen said. Illinois State University and the University of Minnesota are looking at the benefits of pennycress as a cover crop. “They are doing what we call ecoservices. What else does this plant give you, other than seed for cash? Does it help your soils? Does it help the insect populations? Does it help with diseases?” Phippen said. Pennycress, because it blooms early in the spring, is one of the first plants for pollinators. In addition, the plant scavenges nitrogen and since only the seed is harvested, the rest of the plant is left as organic matter. Phippen knows he and

A field of pennycress is ready to harvest. The oilseed crop is a winter annual that can be sown right after corn is harvested and then harvested the next spring. Win Phippen of the Western Illinois University School of Agriculture received a $10 million grant for pennycress research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

CHANNEL PROFITABILITY CALCULATOR HELPS DETERMINE BREAKEVEN PRICES CHANNEL COMMITTED TO PROVIDING TOOLS TO HELP FARMERS TARGET PROFITABILITY GRAIN MARKETING TIPS BY MATT BENNETT, CHANNEL GRAIN MARKETING CONSULTANT

As harvest progresses, producers have plenty of decisions to make. With export markets in a quandary and unusual challenges with weather, the 2019 season has numerous variables impacting the market. This year, the ability to manage price volatility may mean the difference between making a profit or not. As farmers collect and analyze 2019 yield data, they have the ability to determine a solid breakeven price for the new crop. This information helps to make decisions about selling a few more bushels versus storing grain, especially in situations where cash is needed.

“This year, the ability to manage price volatility may mean the difference between making a profit or not.” – Matt Bennett

Farmers can evaluate their breakeven pricing options with old-crop bushels and plan for 2020 bushels with the profitability calculator on the Channel.com Tools page. The profitability calculator tool asks for all of your input costs, a yield goal and a price. Then, based on the information you provide, it suggests a breakeven price for corn and/or soybeans, as well as whether you can be profitable at current commodity prices.

Shaping the field of food science Oliver winner of Spirit of the Land-Grant Mission Award WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — Haley Oliver has spent years working toward developing the first food technology program in Afghanistan. The project is one of the many reasons Oliver, an associate professor of food science at Purdue University, received the 2019 Corinne Alexander Spirit of the Land-Grant Mission Award on Oct. 24. Along with developing the program at Herat University in Afghanistan, Oliver has partnered with multiple sectors to improve that region’s food production industry and raise a greater awareness of food safety. “It was like trying to build a land-grant model institution,” said Oliver, describing her experience founding Afghanistan’s first

food technology program at Herat University. “There are three major pillars (research, extension and education), and it takes all three to function, as well as private-public partnerships.” Oliver, whose research focuses on understanding foodborne pathogens, their prevalence and persistence, spent years working with Purdue colleagues, officials, students and academics in Herat. She also spent years developi ng c u r r ic u lu m , conducting research and working alongside students in the laboratories at Herat University. The Corinne Alexander Spirit of the Land-Grant Mission Award, established in 2008, recognizes faculty members in the Colleges of Agriculture, Veterinary

Crop Consultant Crew FFA chapter partners with ag retailer CER RO GOR DO, Ill. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; FFA students from Decatur recently visited a Nutrien Ag Solutions facility in Cerro Gordo as the newest members of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crop Consultant Crew.â&#x20AC;? Nutrien Ag Solutions developed the unique educational program to give students an understanding of how the operation and its professional crop consultants help farmers maximize crop performance and ultimately proďŹ tability. The MacArthur High School FFA Chapter learned about the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products and services and how advances in agriculture and technology help farmers produce a safe, abundant food supply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really a privilege for our staďŹ&#x20AC; to host the Decatur FFA chapter,â&#x20AC;? said John Watkins, Nutrien Ag Solutions marketing manager for eastern Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These students are the next generation of farmers, consumers or both.

In 2018, Oliver was the ďŹ rst woman selected by the USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to deliver the prestigious Justin Smith Morrill Memorial Lecture, an honor awarded to outstanding contributors to agriculture research, education and extension. Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pedagogical record is as remarkable as her research achievements.

The program began with a visit to the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precision ag building, where planters are upgraded to provide consistent seed populations, spacing and depth to achieving high yield potential. Advances in planter technologies were also discussed. Students also: Q Examined limestone used to raise soil pH levels. Watkins explained that the operation applies about 30,000 tons of lime each season to help growers achieve better yields. Q Observed seed treatment equipment used to help protect seedlings from early season plant disease and insects. The operation provides enough treated seed to cover about 200,000 acres annually in its service area. Q Learned about the robust portfolio of 300 diďŹ&#x20AC;erent crop protection products Nutrien stocks to remain relevant to students and representative of the ďŹ eld.

Although the student participants did not have farming backgrounds, Watkins noted that should not be a limiting factor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our goals with the Crop Consultant Crew program is to help build awa reness about the many career opportunities available in agriculture,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A kid from the city has just as much of an opportunity to have a successful ag career as someone who grew up on a farm.â&#x20AC;?

Spice up chicken breasts with peppercorn By Angela Shelf Medearis

Pumpkin bread is loaded with warm spices and full of delicious pumpkin flavor.

Pumpkin bread full of fall spices By Donna Erickson

For years, it was an October tradition in our neighborhood to drop in at my friend’s preholiday arts and crafts sale. Opening the heavy front door of her turn-of-thecentury home, we were drawn in from the outdoor chill by the aroma of warm, freshly baked pumpkin bread served on trays in the dining room. Looking back, I now wonder if people came for the pumpkin bread as much as for the art being sold. This updated, foolproof recipe is moist, full of enticing autumn spices we love, and it’s super-easy to make and bake with kids. No mixers or tricky steps. Just measure, whisk, stir and bake. Of course, you may put your own spin on the recipe and add chopped nuts and raisins to the batter, or even drizzle icing with a sprinkling of pepitas — a type of pumpkin seed — on top of just-baked loaf to make it fancy. To find more of Donna Erickson’s creative family recipes and activities, visit www.donnasday. com. © 2019 Donna Erickson distributed by King Features Synd.

Favorite Pumpkin Bread INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup canned pumpkin 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 cup water PROCEDURE To prepare oven: Heat oven to 350 degrees. To prepare pan: Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on the bottom of a greased 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. To prepare batter: Whisk together oil, sugar, eggs and pumpkin in a mixing bowl. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients alternatively with the water. Avoid overmixing. Pour into pan. To bake: Bake in middle of oven for 60 minutes or until wooden pick or knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes one loaf.

Whenever I’m thinking about ways to add variety to chicken recipes, my spice rack always provides inspiration. Freshly ground peppercorns add a much-needed boost to the mild flavors of chicken, pork and fish. They come in a variety of shades, including white, green, pink, red and black. The color depends on the maturity of the berry. All peppercorns come from the seed of the tropical “Piper nigrum” plant. About 50 berries grow in spiky clusters on long vines supported on posts. Black peppercorn berries are picked before fully ripening and allowed to ferment for two to three days. Then the berries are spread out in an even layer and sun-dried for two to three days until shriveled and nearly black. Pepper comes from grinding peppercorns until they are fine. Most peppermills are adjustable to create fine, medium or coarse grinds. Crushed black peppercorns or freshly ground black pepper combined with ranch dressing makes a spicy, flavorful coating for baked chicken. Ranch dressing has been one of America’s

Chicken Breasts in Spicy Ranch Dressing In today’s recipe, the fiery pop of black pepper combined with the cool, herb flavors of ranch dressing elevate baked chicken breasts to a new level. Panko breadcrumbs are made from a light, Japanese-style bread. When used as a coating, Panko breadcrumbs add an extra crunch without deep-frying, making it the perfect coating for baking in the oven or stovetop cooking methods. Regular packaged breadcrumbs also will work for this recipe. Servings: 4 to 6

Peppercorn seasoning adds a fiery pop to chicken breasts. favorite condiments for more than 40 years. It’s used on everything from salads to pizza to potato chips. One of the best-known brands of Ranch dressing was created by Steve Henson. Steve and his wife, Gayle, purchased 120 acres of picturesque ranch land outside Santa Barbara, California, in 1954. They named their new property Hidden Valley and started a dude ranch. Every night, they treated their guests to a homemade meal featuring a salad topped with a creamy, herb- and spice-flavored buttermilk dressing that Steve had

created in Alaska. Guests loved his ranch dressing and asked for jars to take home. Soon there was so much demand that the Hensons started a mail-order business, shipping bottles and dry package mixes of their Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing around the United States. The brand was bought by the Clorox company in 1972. Angela Shelf Medearis is an award-winning children’s author, culinary historian and the author of seven cookbooks.

INGREDIENTS 2 to 3 pounds (4 to 6 pieces) boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 (16-ounce bottle) ranch dressing 1 small onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons black or mixed peppercorns, freshly ground or finely crushed 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 cups Panko or dried breadcrumbs 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Cooking oil spray PROCEDURE Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a large, 13-by-9-inch oven-safe baking dish with cooking oil spray and set it aside.

Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with food-safe paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken with 1 tablespoon of the poultry seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine ranch dressing, onions, garlic, black pepper or peppercorns and cayenne pepper. Mix well. Using a large plate, combine Panko or breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese and remaining tablespoon of poultry seasoning and salt. Place chicken in ranch dressing mixture, coating each piece on both sides. Roll chicken in breadcrumb mixture until coated on both sides. Place chicken in the prepared baking pan. Spray chicken with cooking-oil spray. Place chicken in the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is tender and golden brown and no pink remains in the center. Serve immediately.

Early fall color may be sign of health issues URBANA, Ill. — Do you have a tree that is displaying fall color early this year? Although some early color may be beautiful, this may be a sign of health issues. “A branch or two here and there, or some yellow leaves in the canopy are not always cause for alarm, but if the majority of your tree’s canopy is changing color early, it may be a cry for help,” said Ryan Pankau, a horticulture educator with University of Illinois Extension. Trees that change color early are typically exhibiting a plant response to some kind of environmental stress. The first step to helping your tree is to identify the problem. Begin by considering any recent changes to the tree’s growing space. Has there been any soil disturbance such as construction? Do you know of any other recent major disturbances? Next, inspect the base of the tree. Do you see any visible damage from animals or machinery? Is there a “girdling root” encircling the trunk and strangling the root system? “In some cases, the damage a tree has experienced may be irreversible,” Pankau said. “Unfortunately, extensive trunk damage cannot be repaired.” Finally, inspect the canopy of the tree for any clues. Does the tree have unusually small or deformed leaves? Is the annual growth from last year — identifiable on twigs by locating the previous year’s terminal bud scale scar —

Pankau said. “By extending watering beyond the spread of the branch tips, new root development is promoted in that area, which helps build a robust root system.” In order to achieve soil saturation and avoid runoff, water slowly over a long period of time. “If you are using a typical garden sprinkler, I recommend allowing it to water for at least two hours in order to saturate the soil enough to reach roots of a large mature tree,” Pankau said.

Smaller, younger trees may take less time. In general, you should plan to provide the equivalent of a 1- to 2-inch rainstorm every two weeks during the hot, dry part of late summer and early fall. To conserve water, consider using a soaker hose or drip tape for more efficient watering. Another factor that can vastly improve the water holding capacity of the soil, and eliminate competition from turfgrass, is mulch. If possible, mulch your tree

out to the dripline of the canopy. Apply mulch 4 to 6 inches deep as it will settle dramatically over the next several months. This protective layer will help retain soil moisture, reduce or eliminate weed and grass competition and, over time, will add organic matter to the soil. “In addition, adding mulch may help protect your tree from future mower damage by leaving a buffer between it and the mower deck,” Pankau said.

Leaders in Buying and Selling Quality Used Equipment. This red maple exhibited early fall color due to added stress from a trunk injury. significantly less than past years? “I have most commonly observed this issue in newly planted trees, which are under transplant stress for several growing seasons,” Pankau said. The first few years after being transplanted are tough times in a tree’s life and some added stress this time of year, in the form of hot, dry weather, can be the impetus for your tree’s call for help. In many urban settings, soil compaction or poor drainage have a major impact on tree health and correcting soil issues can be quite difficult. Therefore, many times the only practical way to help your tree is to follow some general recom mendat ions for boosting tree health. Any

bit of help you can provide may be enough to get your tree through these stressful times. Often, the best recommendation for a tree showing signs of stress this time of year is watering, and trees need more water than you might expect. Although 90% of tree roots are located in the top 12 to 15 inches of soil, turfgrass often steals the rainfall during smaller rain events. Since turfgrass has a dense root system concentrated in the upper 2 to 6 inches of soil, it is able to outcompete trees when a rainstorm does not thoroughly saturate the soil profile. “To effectively water a tree, the soil needs to be saturated beyond the area beneath the tree’s canopy,”

Lifestyle YOUR GARDENING CHECKLIST FOR OCTOBER

Fall leaves are treasure, not trash By B. Rosie Lerner

INDOOR PLANTS AND ACTIVITIES Q Keep poinsettia in complete

darkness for 15 hours each day — for example, between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. — for eight to 10 weeks until red bracts begin to show. Q Pot spring-flowering bulbs to force into bloom indoors. Moisten soil and refrigerate 10 to 13 weeks. Transfer to a cool, sunny location and allow an additional three to four weeks for blooming. Q Houseplants, especially those grown outdoors during the summer, commonly drop some or many of their leaves in response to the lower natural light intensity in the autumn and reduced light intensity indoors. Q Water indoor plants less frequently and discontinue fertilizer as plants slow down or stop growing for the winter season.

LAWNS, WOODY ORNAMENTALS AND FRUITS Q Keep plants, especially

newly planted stock, wellwatered until ground freezes. Q Have soil ready to mound roses for winter protection. Do not mound or cover roses until after leaves drop and soil is near freezing, usually late November or early December. Q Strawberry plants need protection from winter’s extremes, but applying winter mulch too early may cause crowns to rot. Apply winter protection when plants are dormant, but before temperatures drop below 20 degrees, usually late November or early December. Q Rake or shred large, fallen tree leaves, such as maple, to prevent them from matting down and smothering grass. Raking smaller leaves, such as honey locust, is optional. Q Continue mowing lawn as needed.

FLOWERS, VEGETABLES AND SMALL FRUITS Q Harvest root crops and

store in a cold, humid location. Storing produce in perforated plastic bags is a convenient, easy way to increase humidity. Q Harvest Brussels sprouts as they develop in the axils of the leaves from the bottom of the stem. Brussels sprouts will continue to develop up the stem. Q Harvest pumpkins and winter squash before frost, but when rind is hard and fully colored. Store in a cool location until ready to use. Q Harvest gourds when stems begin to brown and dry. Cure at 70 to 80 degrees for two to four weeks. Q Harvest mature, green tomatoes before frost and ripen indoors in the dark. Warmer temperatures lead to faster ripening. Q Asparagus top growth should not be removed until foliage yellows. Let foliage stand over winter to collect snow for insulation and moisture. Q Remove plant debris from the garden to protect next year’s plantings from insect and disease buildup. Compost plant refuse by alternating layers of soil, plant material and manure or commercial fertilizer. Q Have garden soil tested for fertilizer needs every three to five years. Q Plowing and incorporating organic matter in fall avoids the rush of garden activities and waterlogged soil in spring. Soils prepared in the fall tend to warm faster and allow earlier planting in spring. Q Carve a Halloween jack-o’lantern. Q Dig tender garden flower bulbs for winter storage. Gladiolus corms should be dug when leaves begin turning yellow. Caladiums, geraniums and tuberous begonias should be lifted before killing frost. Dig canna and dahlia roots after a heavy frost. Allow to air dry, then pack in dry peat moss or vermiculite and store in a cool location. Q Complete planting of springflowering bulbs.

The hot, dry weather experienced in late summer is bringing an early leaf drop to many landscape plants. But even under the best weather conditions, the shorter, cooler days of autumn signal deciduous plants to begin their color change and eventual leaf drop. For some, this marvel is overshadowed by the chores of raking and disposing of leaves. What’s needed here is an attitude adjustment. Autumn leaves don’t have to become trash. On the contrary, they easily can be turned into valuable soil-enhancing organic matter. There are several ways to manage tree leaves at home. Green-thumbed gardeners long have known the value of recycling plant material. Dry leaves can be plowed or tilled under in the vegetable or annual ﬂower bed in fall to provide a source of organic matter. Shredding the leaves ﬁrst will speed the breakdown so that the leaves will not be visible by spring. Be sure to mix the leaves into the soil, rather than leaving them on top through the winter, to avoid keeping the soil too cold and wet to work in the spring. Tree leaves can be recycled directly on the lawn.

If you plan to compost leaves, chopping them first speeds up decomposition. Use a grass catcher to gather leaves as you mow over them. Use your power mower or shredder/vacuum to break dry leaves into smaller pieces. A mulching blade on the mower will speed this process, but even a standard blade will do an adequate job. For large leaves, such as maple and sycamore, it may take several passes to get a ﬁnely shredded product. Once the leaves are pulverized, they will break down quickly. A fall application of nitrogen fertilizer — about 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet — will help speed decomposition of the leaves and also will beneﬁt the grass plants. Fall leaves also make great composting ingredients, especially

Who’s Tough Now?

when mixed with green trimmings and grass clippings. Again, the smaller the pieces, the faster they’ll break down, so shred or chop dry leaves before adding them to the compost pile. If you don’t have green trimmings or grass clippings, add a source of nitrogen to the leaves, such as commercial fertilizer or dry cow, horse, sheep, or poultry manure. The nitrogen is needed by the microorganisms that break down the carbon in plant materials. Add a sprinkling of soil or ﬁnished compost to introduce a source of the microorganisms and water just enough to moisten. The compost

will heat up in the center as it breaks down. Stir the contents occasionally to add air and allow for uniform heating. Generally, the more often you turn the pile, the faster you’ll get a ﬁnished product. Compost is ready to add back into the garden when it looks uniformly dark and crumbly. Compost improves soil aeration, moisture retention and drainage and nutrient-holding capabilities. Last, but not least, shredded leaves can be used as a winter mulch to protect tender perennials through the coming harsh weather. Shredding the leaves will help prevent them from packing down as they get wet and smoth-

ering the plants that they are supposed to protect. To provide winter protection, apply a 3-to 6-inch layer of shredded leaves over the top of tender perennials after several hard freezes. The goal of winter mulch is to keep plants dormant through the winter, so it must be applied after the ground is cold and plants are fully dormant. The timing of application will vary from year to year with the weather, but most years will be appropriate sometime between the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. B.

Halloween memorabilia in demand By Terry and Kim Kovel

Halloween is the second most popular holiday among collectors of holiday memorabilia. Christmas comes first. But Halloween decorations are in such demand today that there are even mail-order catalogs and pop-up stores that feature nothing but Halloween. The idea behind Halloween goes back centuries, but the first Halloween parties that resembled modern celebrations were costume parties for adults in the 1880s and 1890s. Costumes from those parties — some of the earliest Halloween collectibles — were almost always homemade. Pressed-paper “veggie people,” jack-o-lanterns and other Halloween decorations were being made by the 1900s, mostly in Germany. By the 1920s, jack-o-lanterns were made of a composition material, holes were made for the eyes and mouth and a handpainted piece of paper was glued inside to create a finished face. By the 1950s, Halloween decorations were being made of hard plastic, and in the 1990s a strange sponge-like plastic was popular for soft jack-o-lanterns. Pre-1950 Halloween memorabilia is scarce, so prices are high. But beware: Many reproductions of early paper jack-olanterns and Halloween candy containers have been made in Japan. New mail order catalogs sell copies of old pieces along with new life-size witches, ghosts,

G.W. Sheldon & Co. was a maker of felt in 1823. It was the first hat maker in the United States and was one of the largest by the early 1900s. E.A. Mallory & Sons became a division of the John B. Stetson Hat Co. in 1946. Production of Mallory hats ceased by 1965. Maybe Mallory sold hats by other makers, or maybe the hat was put in the wrong box by the owner. Vintage top hats in great shape sell for about $100. Twentieth-century hat boxes with good names or graphics are $50 to $75 retail.

These, too, will be popular collectibles in a few years. I have my grandfather’s black hat. The name in the hat is “Sheldon & Co., London.” It was in a hat box that says “Mallory Hats, Fifth Ave., New York, N.Y.” I think he had the hat when he was a member of the Shriners. Can you give me any information? Both Sheldon & Co. and Mallory were hat makers listed in the 1908 “American Hatter.”

If you receive a call from someone claiming to be from the Social Security Administration, it’s wise to be wary.

If Social Security calls, hang up By Matilda Charles

Thieves are continuing to target seniors where we’re most vulnerable. Most common is the Social Security scam. Annoyingly enough, I received one of these calls today on my cellphone. I didn’t answer, of course, so they left a voice message. My Social Security number had been associated with crime, they said. If I didn’t call them back immediately, they would call the police and take out a warrant for my arrest. And so on... While scam calls can come from any area code, sometimes they use the real Social Security Administration phone number, 800-772-1213. It’s easy for them to spoof, or fake, any number. However, there’s one big difference. No one from Social Security is going to call you with threats. If Social Security has something to say to you, it will send a letter in the mail. There are many reasons not to give out your personal infor-

mation to someone you don’t know, but the biggest ones are that your benefits can be diverted, and your identity can be stolen. To protect yourself, make use of your Caller ID. If you don’t recognize the number, don’t answer. And leave your Social Security card at home when you go out. If something doesn’t sound right on a phone call you do answer, hang up. The minute someone asks you to verify anything — your name, address, bank information, Social Security number — or threatens you in any way, just hang up. To hear what is said in these scam calls, go online to www. consumer.ftc.gov and put “Social Security scam” in the search box. Click on “This is what a Social Security scam sounds like.” You can hear a recording of a call and know what to expect if you do answer one. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

Indiana Pork president strives to make a difference Maple stresses importance of being involved By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

AMBOY, Ind. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 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 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be too busy to take on anything else. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not his style. Instead, the P urdue University graduate and partner in Maple Acres Farm is leading the Indiana Pork Producers Association â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and encouraging others to do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been involved, I will preach it to the mountain and back. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to complain about stuďŹ&#x20AC; if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get involved and do your part. Try to make a diďŹ&#x20AC;erence, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a little part,â&#x20AC;? Maple said. Maple is close to finishing his ďŹ rst year of a two-year term as president of the Indiana producers group. He and wife, Lindsey, are parents to a son, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a freshman in high school, and a daughter, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sophomore. They are 10 months apart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My daug hter just turned 16, so the scary times are happening for us,â&#x20AC;? he joked. Maple partners with

his father, uncle, cousin and her husband in Maple Acres Farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as the family operation, we are farrow to ďŹ nish. My wife and I, on our own, have 11,000 ďŹ nishing spaces, and we contract those with Oracle Pork,â&#x20AC;? he said. Like most pork farms, Maple Acres Farm has changed to maintain their sustainability in the face of changing economic times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one time, we had 7,000 sows, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kind of backed oďŹ&#x20AC; a little bit. As times got tougher, we retooled the operation,â&#x20AC;? Maple said. Maple took over as president when multiple crises were creating tense times in the U.S. pork industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really never a dull moment. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always something going on,â&#x20AC;? he said of his ďŹ rst 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have proven useful in the ďŹ ght against ASF. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? Maple said. The threat of ASF has

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dish? For Nick Maple, president, Indiana Pork Producers Association: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boneless loin chop on the grill with fresh green beans, mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any better than that.â&#x20AC;?

made producers like Maple ultra-aware of making sure that the biosecurity controls they already have in place are being strictly followed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a personal level, on our farm, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sticking with the biosecurity we have in place, making sure that people are showering in, showering out, keeping track of our guests,â&#x20AC;? Maple said. Witnessing the damages that ASF has done in China and throughout other countries in Southeast Asia is a motivation for making sure protocols are being followed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just little stuďŹ&#x20AC; that you knew was an issue, but you kind of walked a ďŹ ne line on it. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 deďŹ nitely the name of the game now,â&#x20AC;? Maple said. Mapleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I make sure everything is getting done, and that we are utilizing producersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money in the checkoďŹ&#x20AC; fund to the best of our ability to promote the product. We make sure that Indiana pork producers are taken care of, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trade issues and going to Washington, D.C., to lobby out there on diďŹ&#x20AC;erent issues or if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something here in the state that needs to be addressed,â&#x20AC;? he said. Maple credits the staďŹ&#x20AC; in the Indiana Pork headquarters for their hard work behind the scenes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an awesome staďŹ&#x20AC;. Jeanette Merritt, Josh Trenary and the others in the oďŹ&#x192;ce carry on the dayto-day operations. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome opportunity to be president, but we are very blessed to have such a wonderful staďŹ&#x20AC; making sure that this board can run so smoothly,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just getting out, not just in my community, but getting to Indianapolis and diďŹ&#x20AC;erent areas and to different conferences, so you can see and hear whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. You are not in your bubble anymore, and you can get a broader view of what this industry means,â&#x20AC;? he said. Maple also views the commitment heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This industry has given so much back to our family. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been kind of tough over the last two or three years, but our business wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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,â&#x20AC;? he said.

When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not wearing his pork producer or president hat, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing his proud dad cap. Watching his kids play the sports they love is a favorite way to unwind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Livestock Q&A: @GRILLIN_WITH_DAD

Social media inﬂuencer promotes pork By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

CHICAGO — During the month of October, National Pork Month, the Illinois Pork Producers Association is partnering with Instagram grilling super star and inﬂuencer, @Grillin_with_Dad, to help promote pork. But what does it take to be an Instagram inﬂuencer? And do this dad’s kids actually eat what he grills? AgriNews talked to Maciek Zurawski about his food traditions, his Instagram fame and if his kids really eat what he cooks.

PROVIDED PHOTOS

In addition to sharing the recipes and his grilling and smoking experiences on his Instagram page, @grillin_with_dad, Maciek Zurawski is a member of the Hardcore Carnivore Core Crew. Hardcore Carnivore is branded as “seasonings and gear for serious meat fans.”

Tell us a little bit about yourself. You hail from Poland? “I was born and raised in Poland. I lived about two hours from Warsaw, the town was Lomza. We moved here in 1991, when I was 10 years old, and we came straight to Chicago. I have lived here ever since. I do have strong roots back to Poland, a lot of extended family is back there.” Your Instagram handle is @grillin_with_dad. Do your kids really eat what you cook? “I have a 5-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter. It’s a mixed bag between the two. My son is definitely the bigger carnivore of the two, so he likes all the barbecue I put out. “He always enjoys eating the meat and my daughter likes the veggies more than the meat. If I put a plate together of the meat and the veggies, between the two of them, they’ll finish it.” What does it mean to be an “Instagram influencer?” “It’s basically someone who has gained an audience of followers and you help promote certain products. You tell people what to use and how to use it, with the goal that someone will go out and buy the product or you encourage them to try something new at home. That’s what I do with my page.” Let’s talk about this partnership with Illinois Pork Producers Association. You’re partnering with them for October, which is National Pork Month. What are you going to do? “This partnership with Illinois Pork is so great because I already cook a lot of pork, so working with them is kind of a natural fit to help come up with some new recipes with pork and help promote it on my page. “I did a couple of posts for pork month, for October. I did baby back ribs, a stuffed pork loin and a crown roast.” What is your favorite pork dish to cook and eat? “I would probably have to say ribs. I’ve always enjoyed ribs and since I got my Big Green Egg and started cooking them frequently at home, I really, really enjoy eating them now that I can make them the way I like. It’s one of my favorites, even though I don’t make it as often as I should or could.” What’s a favorite pork dish that your mom makes? “I definitely enjoy them all, but — and you can probably ask any Polish person this and they would say the same thing — it’s a pan-fried pork chop, like a breaded pork chop, that is flattened out and breaded and pan fried. You serve it with mashed potatoes, and it’s the best thing to eat.” For the record, the dish is called Kotlet Schabowy, or Kotlety Schabowy. What question do you get the most about cooking pork? “They always ask what’s a good, safe temperature to cook or how to cook pork that it doesn’t dry out. Get a meat thermometer, cook it to 145 degrees and you are going to be super happy with whatever you are making.

Maciek Zurawski posts photos and videos of his meat grilling and smoking experiences to Instagram. “You don’t need to brine it or do anything crazy with it. Just cook it to the right temperature

and it’s good to go.”

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

Scout adult beetles and consider foliar insecticide

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.

GM deal with UAW Car crashes into hayride Worker pay hikes, factory closings move forward By Tom Krisher AP AUTO WRITER

DETROIT (AP) — A tentative four-year contract with striking General Motors gives workers a mix of pay raises, lump sum payments and an $11,000 signing bonus. In return, the contract allows GM to proceed with factory closures in Lordstown, Ohio; Warren, Michigan; and near Baltimore. Details were posted Oct. 17 on the United Auto Workers website as factory level union oﬃcials met to decide if they’ll approve the deal. Workers went on strike Sept. 16, crippling the company’s U.S. production and costing it an estimated $2 billion. The Detroit Hamtramck plant, which GM wanted to close, will stay open and a new electric pickup truck will be built there. Meanwhile, the Lordstown area will get a new battery factory that is expected to employ 1,000 workers. In addition, a company called Lordstown Motors could also set up a factory that would initially employ 400 workers. But neither of those would come close to the shut t er ed L ord s t ow n assembly plant, which two years ago employed 4,500 people making the

Chevrolet Cruze compact car. The deal shortens the eight years it takes for new hires to reach full wages and gives temporary workers a full-time job after three years of continuous work. Workers hired after 2007 who are paid a lower wage rate will hit the top wage of $32.32 per hour in four years or less. The deal also provides a $60,000 early retirement incentive for up to 2,000 eligible workers. The tentative agreement between GM and the UAW now will be used as a template for talks with GM’s crosstown rivals, Ford and Fiat Chrysler. Normally, the major provisions carry over to the other two companies and cover about 140,000 auto workers nationwide. It wasn’t clear which company the union would bargain with next, or whether there would be another strike. The strike at GM immediately brought the company’s U.S. factories to a halt, and within a week, started to hamper production in Mexico and Canada. Analysts at KeyBanc investment services estimated the stoppage cut GM vehicle production by 250,000 to 300,000 vehicles. That’s too much for the company to make up

with overtime or increased assembly line speeds. GM and the union have been negotiating at a time of troubling uncertainty for the U.S. auto industry. Driven up by the longest economic expansion in American history, auto sales appear to have peaked and are now heading in the other direction. GM and other carmakers are also struggling to make the transition to electric and autonomous vehicles. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s trade war with China and his tariﬀs on imported steel and aluminum have raised costs for auto companies. A revamped North American free trade deal is stalled in Congress, raising doubts about the future of America’s trade in autos and auto parts with Canada and Mexico, which last year came to $257 billion. Amid that uncertainty, GM workers wanted to lock in as much as they can before things get ugly. They argue that they had given up pay raises and made other concessions to keep GM aﬂoat during its 2009 trip through bankruptcy protection. Now that GM has been nursed back to health — earning $2.42 billion in its latest quarter — they wanted a bigger share.

LIT TLE ROCK TOWNSHIP, Ill. (AP) — A northern Illinois woman has been ticketed for driving her car into a hayride wagon carrying 14 adult passengers, injuring 11 of them. The Kendall County Sheriﬀ’s Department says a car driven by 22-yearold Kaitlin Minick of DeKalb slammed into the

rear of the wagon being towed by a tractor. The accident occurred Oct.12 in Little Rock Township, about 50 miles west of Chicago. Authorities say she was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Little Rock-Fox Fire Chief Greg Witek said many of the injured suf-

fered broken bones and some were unconscious when emergency crews arrived. Three of the wagon passengers were hospitalized in serious condition. Their conditions were unavailable. Fire oﬃcials say Minick’s vehicle ﬂipped over in the crash. She was treated at the scene.

Future of ag at home and abroad Farming is remarkable work. We begin with the dirt, a seed or a sapling, a calf or baby chick. We nurture from well before sunup till after sundown. We face unpredictable challenges, Zippy Duvall and we keep looking for ways to do better. Few businesses American begin every season Farm Bureau back at square one, Federation but that’s the cycle of agriculture. Few businesses have the well-being of so many riding on their success either. But farmers and ranchers rise to this challenge because we love what we do, and we want to ensure that our nation and our world continue to have access to a safe, sustainable food supply. Farmers are not alone in taking on the challenge of feeding a booming population. Thanks to researchers and innovators, agriculture is more efficient than ever before. We have access to smarter tools — from tractors that can drive themselves to drones that can help monitor crop health down to the individual plant. We have better seeds that require less chemicals and are resistant to drought. We even have robots that can harvest crops, spray fields and milk cows. Our farms today look a lot different than our grandparents’ — and that’s a good thing. We should always be moving forward and doing better. It’s that drive to do better that has reduced our carbon footprint and made U.S. agriculture one of the smallest industry contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. We are using less water, energy and fertilizer — all because of the strides our nation has made in agricultural technology. American agriculture has led the way in technology and innovation thanks to our national investment in research and development at our landgrant universities. Unfortunately, we have dropped off as the global leader in R&D investment in the last decade and are now outpaced by China. If the U.S. is going to stay competitive and hold our spot as the world’s leading agricultural producer, we must renew our commitment to investing in the research that has made our farms and ranches the most productive and sustainable in the world. Advancing agriculture together for the good of everyone is what the World Food Prize is about, and I am excited to be in Des Moines, Iowa, to celebrate our shared goals across the food chain as we look to the future of agriculture. Together, we can ensure farming survives and thrives in every corner of the earth. Leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs and innovators have been gathering for more than three decades at this event because we all believe in agriculture’s power to change the world. Countries that cannot feed themselves crumble, but modern farming methods and tools can promote sustainability and stability across the globe, making us all safer and more secure. Farming and ranching are family and community businesses: We know we do better when everyone has a chance to succeed. We are committed to helping our neighbors near and far because we believe a hard day’s work best begins with a hearty meal. We know firsthand the importance of sustainability because our families have been caring for the land for generations. And we want to see agriculture succeed around the world because we all depend on the remarkable work of farming for our livelihoods and our well-being.

Drainers versus sustainers Not two miles from my central Illinois home, a farmer’s next crop — a dozen rolls of eight-inch, black plastic drainage pipe — wait to be planted several feet deep in this year’s browning corn stubble. It’s tiling season in Farm & Food much of the Midwest, File that post-harvest period when earth-chewing Alan Guebert machines fight weather, mud and daylight to bury thousands of miles of pipe to move subsurface water — and whatever else — off farmland to hopefully make it more productive and, in turn, more valuable. “Why?” asks Christopher Jones and Silvia Secchi, two University of Iowa professors, in a stinging Oct. 14 essay, titled “Drain Brain.” It’s a simple question in today’s era of ag overproduction, fertilizer- and manure-laced farm water runoff and an almost totally disengaged government. Jones, a research engineer specializing in water quality and agriculture, and Secchi, a natural resource economist, ask it in reply to “a new paper that appeared in the journal Nature Sustainability where some researchers from a university 120 miles west of here” — Iowa State University, the state’s ag-focused land-grant university — “proposed a new solution to our nutrient problem: Put in more drainage tile.” That prescription caused Jones and Secchi to respond to the tiling advocates

— who they labeled “Drainers” — because in Jones and Secchi’s view, it will only add to Iowa’s enormous farm water run-off problem. What’s needed, they urge, are new and better ideas, not new and better tile. In fairness, ISU’s lead researcher, agronomist Michael Castellano, did explain that any overall tile upgrade would not only include “installation of higher capacity pipes,” but also “implementation of long-term conservation practices, like denitrification wetlands, bioreactors and saturated buffers.” Exactly right, agreed the engineer and economist. But the rub is the staggering cost — something the ISU study did not provide — for any one of those plans. For example, if the Drainer plan is implemented on three million or so of Iowa’s estimated 8 million acres of tiled farmland, “replacing all the tile would cost $3 billion.” Add to that the cost of building “denitrification wetlands” at the state recommended rate of “1- to 4-acres” for every “200 acres of farmland.” The conservative estimate of construction cost — “ignoring maintenance, operations and easement outlays” — would be about $300 per acre. That means “these wetlands would require tens of thousands of acres and cost between $10 (billion) and $42 billion” to construct. “To put this in perspective,” they note, “Iowa has received ~$20 billion in agricultural subsidies over the last 25 years.” But that’s not the biggest hurdle to the Drainers’ idea. Most of today’s runoff mitigation programs — like the federal

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program or Iowa’s Nutrient Reduction Strategy — are voluntary. Which leads the researchers to ask a second simple question: “Will farmers voluntarily give up tens of thousands of acres to wetlands?” They know the answer. “In almost 20 years, the CREP program has enrolled less than 4,000 acres, or 1 in 6500 Iowa crop acres.” As such, they add, “We assert that the Drainers’ proposal is not sustainable.” But you and I — as well as all the agronomists, economists and engineers in farm country — know that farmland tiling will not stop anytime soon. We can, however, Jones and Secchi explain, mitigate its lasting effects with newer, tougher and more enforceable water runoff rules; change ag policy to encourage crop diversification; pay farmers for “ecosystem services;” decouple current payments from production “while tying them to environmental performance;” and better manage manure application. And we need to try these options now because, even with tile, “Farmers aren’t getting the economic outcomes that they want, and the public isn’t getting the environmental outcomes that we want.” That sounds like solid ground everyone can stand on as we collectively dig into fair, workable solutions that farmers and non-farmers alike all need.

Turn obstacles into opportunities In every farming operation, it’s a fact that we’ll encounter challenges along the way. That can happen both in our daily activities and in dealing with the business side of our farm. The obstacles can range Darren Frye from the very large and confusing to the rather Water Street small and easily solvable. Solutions But what really matters is the way that we view these challenges: not only in terms of what we decide to do about them, but also in how we learn from them and use what we’ve found to make us as leaders and our operations better in the long run. This is a key mindset to take. We already know we’re going to be dealing with challenges and obstacles as we run our operations. By looking for the learning opportunity within the obstacle, we’re making the challenge ultimately go to work for us and for the greater success of our farm operation. Otherwise, we might get caught up in a “victim” mentality, viewing the challenges we face in our business as something that’s personally against us, rather than seeing it for what it really is: an opportunity for us to get better instead of getting bitter. THREE SITUATIONS I want to share three examples of when you can apply this thinking di-

rectly on your farm. However, this mindset can be applied to any obstacles you face, whether in business or personal life. 1. Your employee screws up: Let’s say your employee really messes up on a task you gave them. First, it’s key to consciously set aside any immediate emotional reactions you may have when you hear about or discover the screw-up. Next, decide how you’re going to use the mistake as a teaching or training opportunity for your employee to learn something new. The end result? Your employee has become more valuable with the new knowledge and ability they’ve gained and will be able to apply it in future situations. They’ve ultimately become better. The bonus is that you’ve kept your relationship with them intact by deciding to contain and redirect any negative emotions you have about what they did. 2. Factors outside of your control are affecting the operation: When factors out of our direct control such as weather, markets or government policy begin to impact our farm in a negative way, we have a choice. We can decide to become angry and frustrated, or we can decide to make our operation better in order to withstand these challenges. The ultimate goal is creating an operation that’s good enough to survive and thrive despite the outside factors that are and will always be out of our direct control as farmers. This might mean internal improvements such as working on greater efficiency in a couple key areas of your business, or spending more time working on risk management plans, including marketing

and merchandising plans. Many farmers have found that working closely with a trusted market advisor is an important step in creating better risk management plans for their operation. 3. Unexpected challenges keep coming up in your operation: When a new challenge arises within your operation, consider it another opportunity to get better as a farm. Ultimately, having different, flexible ways of accomplishing goals for your operation makes you less reliant on certain ways of doing things. This helps your farm become more agile, with less risk exposure. Having to change plans quickly can often be a blessing in disguise. Learning how to efficiently design a different way to accomplish a goal can improve your creativity, which boosts your problem-solving skills when you’re dealing with other areas of your operation. The next time you come up against an obstacle or challenge in your operation, consider how you might look at it as a learning opportunity, and then come up with an effective plan to address the challenge. Whether the obstacle is big or small, there is always a way to glean something as you figure out how to deal with it. The more you take this mindset, the more you’ll likely find yourself becoming a better farmer, leader and manager along the way. You can talk with one of our advisors for the farm for some more ideas about this. Darren Frye is the president and CEO of Water Street Solutions.

DECATUR, Ill. — Farmers who want to support the nation’s military veterans, especially those injured post 9/11, now have the opportunity to do that with the seeds they plant. “We feel like this kind of a program helps to restore some of that independence to these veterans who lost some of their own independence just by their service to our country,” said Tim Birkel, director of marketing for Wyffels Hybrids. Wyffels Hybrids rolled out its Serving Those Who Served initiative earlier this year at dealer meetings and then at the 2019 Farm Progress Show in Decatur. The program offers farmers the opportunity to help build homes for disabled veterans through Homes For Our Troops, a 501©3 organization that builds specially-adapted homes for military veterans who were injured during their tour of duty in the Iraq or Afghanistan theaters after 9/11. Homes with over 40 special adaptations are built at no cost to the veterans. To be eligible to receive a home, veterans must be approved for Specially Adapted Housing benefits under the Veterans Administration. Homes For Our Troops has completed 285 specially-adapted homes in 42 states. The organization was founded by a general contractor in Massachusetts,

For every bag of W5086RIB sold, Wyffels Hybrids will donate $2 to Home For Our Troops. You can also help by purchasing a Serving Those Who Served hat or T-shirt. who offered to build a specially adapted home for a Massachusetts National Guard soldier who had been wounded during his tour of duty in Iraq. That soldier agreed on the condition that the contractor would build homes for other injured veterans. Birkel said Wyffels Hybrids wanted to give back to others. “As what we believe to be a service-based organization, we started 74 years ago with a mission of serving the American farmer. We’ve experienced a lot of growth over the last six years, six straight years of consecutive growth, and we were looking for an opportunity to give back,” he said. Birkel said the program will donate proceeds from sales of each bag of selected seed varieties toward the construction of two HFOT

houses, one in Minnesota and one in Wisconsin. HFOT has built three specially-adapted homes for veterans in Illinois and four in Indiana. “We are launching 14 new hybrids this year and W-5086 is one from which we will be donating some of the proceeds to Homes For Our Troops,” he said. Birkel said W-5086 was selected to allow as many farmers as possible to participate and donate. Two dollars from each bag will go to HFOT. “It’s a 107-day double pro, which means that it covers a pretty wide swath in our geography. The idea is to try to get a hybrid that can cover as much geography to allow as many farmers as possible to participate in the program,” he said. With the rollout of Serving Those Who Served fairly new, Birkel said he is pleased and surprised at the response from farmers already. “I have been so impressed with the response. It’s a tremendous outpouring of support for the program, lots of excellent positive feedback on how excited people are that we are doing something like this and how much support there is in this country for our veterans,” he said.

‘The greatest loss is self-confidence’: Part II Intermarket Magazine in 1985 interviewed Roy W. Longstreet, age 84 at the time. The interview was reprinted in 2010 by Peter L. Brandt of Factor Research Services. Commodity Trading Longstreet was Insight described as “a legendary grain trader Jerry Welch and pioneer of technical analysis of commodity markets.” As a principal of the brokerage firm Longstreet Abbott, Longstreet’s specialty was a technical approach known as “analog-year research.” Longstreet had great insight on the role of emotions in market speculation. He also is the author of “Viewpoints of a Commodity Trader.” Here are my personal recollections of Longstreet from my book, “Back To The Futures,” in a chapter entitled, “The Greatest Loss Is SelfConfidence.” The column was penned on Jan. 15, 1987, and dedicated to Longstreet, better known as “The Chief.” And it was “The Chief” that hired me to work for him. “Eventually, The Chief decided to write a book about his experiences in the marketplace. After all, Longstreet-Abbott, Clayton Brokerage and Clayton Commodity Service were all a direct result of his efforts and dominant personality. “His book was entitled, ‘View-

points of a Commodity Trader.’ “But the book is concerned with more than just the markets. The book deals with self-motivation, harnessing one’s emotions and maintaining a positive outlook on life. Mr. Longstreet’s book is as much about self-improvement and human psychology as it is about commodity trading. “In the early 1970s, The Chief and many Clayton Commodity Service customers were bull-spread in the orange juice market. The Chief was convinced that the nearby orange juice products would gain in price compared to the back months. “And he was right. Thanks to The Chief, Clayton customers were soon sitting on substantial profits in bull orange juice spreads. Then, disaster struck. “Over a weekend, President Richard Nixon ordered a freeze on all commodity prices, an unprecedented action on the part of a president of the United States. It caused turmoil, volatility and chaos never before seen in the commodity markets. “For several days, the nearby orange juice contracts went limit down, while the back month contracts were steady and, in some cases, limit up. “It took us days and days to liquidate those orange juice spreads. It was a nightmare that cost most of our clients, including The Chief himself, a great deal of money. “But what really hurt was the fact that we had huge profits on those spreads. But President Nixon’s price freeze turned those handsome profits into enormous losses. It was

a mess. A few days later, I walked into The Chief’s office after the fallout from the orange juice trade was over. “I said, ‘Chief, I just can’t believe we got hit so hard in that market. We had such huge profits. To lose the money we got so quickly is just unbelievable. I don’t know if I’m cut out for this business. Losing all that money was a killer.’ “The Chief, then in his 70s, was seated behind an enormous, special made, crescent shaped, wraparound desk. He looked up and stared at me. “After what seemed like an eternity, he said, ‘The greatest loss is the loss of self-confidence. The money comes and goes.’ Without uttering another word, he glanced down at the chart that he was focusing upon intently. “I stood there for a second, feeling 15 years old and foolish. But there was nothing more for me to say. I turned and walked out of his office. The Chief never looked up as I left. Not once.” A short time after I left Clayton Commodity Service, the firm closed the doors for good and The Chief retired. However, The Chief opened a personal account with me at Commodity Insight and continued to dabble in the markets, allowing me the opportunity to talk with him daily. He passed away in 1991. To this day, when it comes to investing, trading or any endeavor, of all the advice The Chief gave me back in the olden days, I savor this above all else: “The greatest loss is self-confidence.”
