when the committee’s House members head home for a month just days thereafter. That means, “there won’t be any meetings of conferees,” during August, explains an experienced farm bill watcher. But there will be an “occasional meeting of the Big Four (the chairmen and ranking members of the ag committees) behind closed doors.” Open or closed, everyone needs to hurry. Because one month later, on Sept. 30, the 2014 farm bill expires. If all this sounds familiar, it’s because it is almost exactly how the 2012 farm bill became the 2014 farm bill: two far-apart bills sleepily tackled by a slowly-convened conference committee that was then interrupted by the no-action August break which led to a difficult reconciliation process stymied by House GOP hardliners who demanded work requirements for some food aid recipients. The standoff continued through the 2012 November election and into the seating of a new Congress in early 2013. By law, that meant the 2012 farm bill process had to start over — which it did. Finally, 18 months later, the 2014 law was passed. That same pattern is emerging again because of the canyon-wide differences between the two bills. Again, food aid changes demanded by House Republicans face a unified wall of Senate opposition. Again, cuts to con-
servation programs and the removal of virtually all program payment limits in the House bill face strong opposition by key Senate negotiators. With these clear differences deeply rooted, are 2018 farm bill talks as doomed as the 2012 effort? Not yet, but every passing day makes it increasingly likely. Unlike 2012, however, today’s legislative lollygagging is occurring as White House-imposed trade tariffs, fast-swelling crops, and increased livestock production are quickly taking many commodity markets to 10-year price lows. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue has suggested he will tap the department’s Commodity Credit Corp. (CCC) to buy up commodities to prop up market prices. Currently, CCC has authority to borrow up to $30 billion for the effort. And, according to some, Perdue has an almost unlimited, unchecked power to borrow even more if he deems necessary. Holy smokes! The CCC spending $30 billion? Maybe it’s not 2018 or even 2012. Maybe it’s 1933. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the United States and Canada.

Farmfest and politics LAND MINDS, from pg. 2 care and land stewardship will go a long way in making the candidates’ visit to Farmfest a pleasant one. With so much on the line, farmers should have plenty to say at these forums. But with the year they’ve experienced so far, will farmers be festive at Farmfest or pensive? Good news would be welcome. Hollow politico-speak will not. Come early to grab a seat. I suspect the Wicks building will be bulging. To help you make the most of your Farmfest experience, The Land has
compiled a special section listing exhibits and events. There is always plenty to take in and a lot of ground to cover.

THE LAND — JULY 27/AUGUST 3, 2018
Soybeans making a comeback, wheat harvest soon
By KRISTIN KVENO, The Land Correspondent
Blair Hoseth, Mahnomen, Minn., July 15
The crops “are doing really well.” The Land spoke with Jamie Beyer on July 13 as she was happy with the how the crops are looking at this point in the growing season. Corn and soybeans are “85 percent good to excellent.” The corn is 75 to 85 percent tasseled. Sweet corn should be ready in 10 days.
“Nice weather, lower humidity today.” The Land spoke Blair Hoseth on July 15 as he was enjoying a pleasant, cooler evening. The weather was quite a change from the previous week when hot and humid were the norm. Even in those conditions, Hoseth was able to get the second cutting of hay done. Since the humidity and a little rain that fell last week made it difficult to get the hay dry, Hoseth wrapped it as it “saves your hay from spoiling.”
Blair Hoseth
Rain hasn’t been abundant on the Hoseth farm but it has been frequent. The forecast for the next week still calls for chances of rain, just as it has for most of the summer so far.
Jamie Beyer
The corn is “really tall, most corn is all tasseled.” Thanks to all the heat and humidity, “we’ve had corn weather this year.” It’s “way too early to estimate yields for beans” but they are looking fine. In the next few weeks Hoseth will be “getting bins ready and cleaned out” then starting wheat harvest. He doesn’t plan on anymore spraying “unless we have to spray bugs on the beans.” Though the alfalfa may get sprayed if needed as well. This week has been a little quieter on the Hoseth farm, which allowed for getting caught on things as well as welcoming a few calves that were born yesterday. At this point in the growing season, Hoseth believes that the crops “are looking as good as expected.” Time will tell what that means in yields but for now the crops are growing, the sun is about to set and the temperature is nice. Sounds like a perfect summer evening in the country.
Matt Haubrich, Danube, Minn., July 20
FROM THE
FIELDS
Pea harvest on the Haubrich farm is complete. “The crop as I figured, was low yielding.” The Land spoke with Matt Haubrich on July 20 as he was ready to plant cover crop on the pea fields. Peas were harvested on July 6 and they have now been worked over. With the two-and-a-half inches of rain that fell yesterday, he’ll have to wait awhile to get those fields planted.
Matt Haubrich
On July 8, Haubrich did the second cutting of hay and baled on July 12. “It went fine. We were dodging a few rain drops.” The wheat harvest is about two weeks away, which is a little behind the average harvest date on the farm. The wheat is “getting battered each time it rains heavy like this.” While some of the wheat has been knocked down in the rain, “I’m confident we will have the wheat upright and we’ll be combining two weeks from now.” It’s not all work at the Haubrich farm as its family reunion time on July 28 with 50 to 60 family members gathering. Every year it “keeps getting bigger and bigger.” Haubrich is hoping for a beautiful, dry, summer’s day for some good old family fun out on the farm.
Beyer didn’t spend much time on the farm this past week. Instead, she was in Washington D.C. with the American Soybean Association to meet with United States senators and representatives. There’s concern over the soybean tariffs not only among those in rural America but those in Washington D.C. as well. Unfortunately, she quickly discovered that “nobody has any solution.” Beyer did find bipartisan support to get a farm bill passed quickly, though there are only so many working days left to get it passed in the house and senate. Beyer was pleased to see that all the offices she visited were “very knowledgeable on farm issues.” However, she pointed out to the officials she visited that the challenges to those in the farm community didn’t start with the soybean tariffs. “The farm economy hasn’t been good for the past five or six years.” The opportunity to share her concerns with elected officials as well as hear what they have to say regarding the issues that farmers are facing was one that Beyer couldn’t pass up. She’s back on the farm happy with how the crops are doing so far; but the problems that are affecting farmers are still on the forefront of her mind.
Karson Duncanson, Mapleton, Minn., July 20
“Dried out, got some heat.” The Land spoke with Karson Duncanson on July 20 as he was thrilled to report that the weather was kinder to the crops these past few weeks — though two inches of rain fell yesterday through this morning.
Before the rain fell on July 19, the farm received “beautiful weather, things dried out” from July 14 to July 18. The corn tasseled last weekend and pollination is happening now. Haubrich’s happy to report, “we haven’t had that extreme heat that isn’t favorable during pollination time.” The corn crop is doing well. “We picked up a lot of heat units in June.” The rain which fell on July 19 is a bit unusual as “typically, in July we lack moisture.”
The soybeans are “filling in the rows.” Haubrich is on the lookout out for any signs of aphids. “The beans that are out there are looking OK.”
Jamie Beyer, Wheaton, Minn., July 13
Karson Duncanson
The corn is looking better. “It’s definitely turning around.” Duncanson “got the fungicide on the corn.” The forecast “looks really good” as it calls for warm days, cool nights which is “ideal pollination weather.” The corn is right on schedule for this time of year.
The soybeans are coming along. Duncanson needs to spray fungicide on the beans, though he’ll have to wait until the fields dry out a bit before doing any spraying. The beans have made a big comeback “with that warm weather we had” but are still behind for this time of the growing season. There is a little rain in the forecast for July 23. Other than that, the weather looks promising for Duncanson to get back in field and get the beans sprayed. “Things are looking better,” Duncanson said. The crops are rebounding and the weather is now aiding, not hindering that. Duncanson is hoping the weather trend continues into the rest of the growing season

It also stated, “With lower expected milk prices, milk cows are expected to average 9.395 million head in 2019 — a yearover-year contraction of 10,000 head. Yield per cow was forecast at 23,170 pounds in 2018 (15 pounds less than last month’s forecast) and 23,475 pounds

Conventional milk product sales continue to slip MIELKE, from pg. 9 in 2019 (20 pounds less than last month’s forecast).” Meanwhile, dairy margins were lower the first half of July, as trade tensions continue to batter milk and feed prices, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and Ingredient Hedging LLC. “Deteriorating milk prices across the board eclipsed favorable movement lower in corn and meal,” the Margin Watch stated. “July brought Chinese tariffs of 25 percent on a multitude of U.S. dairy imports, as well as a further phasing in of Mexican tariffs on U.S. cheese imports. Unfortunately, there are not any reported talks on either front. President Trump, however, did announce a proposal to add a 10 percent
tariff on $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The proposal will have hearings in late August and a two-month review after that — perhaps giving time for a resolution to be hammered out prior to further escalations. China did not answer the new proposal with specifics, but did promise future action,” the Margin Watch states. n The August Federal order Class I base milk price was announced by the USDA at $14.15 per hundredweight, down $1.21 from July and $2.57 below August 2017. It is the lowest August Class I price since 2009’s $10.04 and equates to $1.22 per gallon, down from $1.44 a year ago. The eight-month average is at $14.54, down from $16.37 a year ago and compares to $14.10 in 2017.

Seven cars of block sold on the week at the CME and 41 of barrel. Kurzawski wrote in his July 18 Early Morning Update, “There is still fear being baked into the market with the trade war uncertainty. If mozzarella exports continue to slow down, we can expect more barrels being offered on the market which explains why we have such a large spread of plus-15 cents between blocks and barrels. Also, freight continues to be a huge issue for moving dairy commodities around the country in the past year. Moving barrels from Idaho eastward to where the demand is has been much more costly and can be another explanation why we have such a large spread.” Dairy Market News says that some barrel producers are reporting slow sales this summer, leading to See MIELKE, pg. 11

Butter churners stepping back from market, stocks heavy MIELKE, from pg. 10 inventory management concerns. That said, a number of other varietal cheesemakers are seeing steady to increasing sales as the summer progresses. Spot milk prices were mostly up on the week, but there were some loads as low as $4 under Class III. The active spot milk trading range is between 50 cents under to $1.00 over Class. Cheese production varies by plant, but a growing number of Midwestern cheesemakers are allotting days off as milk becomes less available. Western cheese makers report domestic demand has been lackluster and disappointing. And while export cheese demand has been stable, issues with our largest trading partners have battered U.S. cheese sales and other countries are entering into trade agreements with competitors while stockpiles grow here. Milk intakes are tightening, says Dairy Market News, but manufacturers have plenty to feed an already active cheese production system. Contacts hope that domestic food service cheese demand can reenergize as processors prepare for a new school year and for the pizza season to come. Spot butter closed July 20 at $2.25 per pound. This is up 2.5 cents on the week, but 33.5 cents below a year ago, with eight carloads trading spaces on the week. Cream in butter churns became a Central region rarity the week of July 16, according to Dairy Market News, and as cream prices continue their upward climb, butter churners are taking a step back from the market. Some are returning cream to the spot market in lieu of churning. GDT index results were bearish on the butter side, but domestic markets continue to stand their ground, says Dairy Market News. Western butter stocks are heavy, and some butter makers are more than happy to sell excess cream rather than churn. Butter inventories have grown seasonally to the point of meeting most near-term needs. Contacts say that heat and summer vacations are cutting into retail sales, but food service demand is strong. Some processors report sales to international markets have become more difficult as the gap between domestic and international butter prices has shrunk.

Study nutrition variables when feeding hogs DDGS Much has changed over the last 20 years in the choices of feed ingredients available and the way swine diets are formulated. One of the most significant changes is the use of corn-derived dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) in diets for all phases of pork production. In 1998, when the U.S. ethanol industry was in its infancy, about 1.3 million metric tons of DDGS were produced. Only about 52, 000 metric tons (4 percent) were fed to swine. Today, more than 37 million metric tons of DDGS are produced. More than 14 percent of that amount is being fed to swine domestically and another 35 percent is being exported for use primarily in swine and poultry diets in Asia and Latin America. This dramatic increase in DDGS use in swine diets has occurred for three reasons: Existence of an abundant supply of DDGS in major U.S. pork production states; DDGS have high nutritional and economic value relative to corn and soybean meal; and extensive research demonstrating that DDGS can be successfully used at high dietary inclusion rates (up to 30 percent) in all phases of production to achieve optimal performance. Energy in DDGS Regarding metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy (NE) for swine, corn DDGS and corn contain, on average, similar ME and NE content. As a result, DDGS prices are generally highly correlated with corn prices in the feed ingredient market. However, the energy content varies considerably among sources. One of the reasons for the high variability in energy content among DDGS sources is that the majority — more than 90 percent — of ethanol plants are extracting some of the corn oil prior to manufacturing DDGS. However, research has shown that the oil (crude fat) content of DDGS is a poor single predictor of ME and NE values for swine. To manage this variability and provide accurate ME and NE estimates of the DDGS sources being

used, University of Minnesota swine nutrition researchers have developed and validated predicSWINE & U tion equations based on chemiBy Jerry Shurson cal composition. Commercial companies also use similar prediction equations to help nutritionists and pork producers compare relative economic value and customized energy and nutrient loading values for feed formulation of various DDGS sources. These approaches minimize the risk of overestimating or underestimating energy, digestible amino acid levels and phosphorus content in DDGS as part of a precision swine feeding program. DDGS provides protein Although the protein content of DDGS (27 percent) is more than three times greater than corn (8 percent), it is much less than for de-hulled, solventextracted soybean meal (47 percent). This is one of the reasons why the DDGS price is less influenced by soybean meal prices than by corn prices. More importantly, the lysine content relative to crude protein content in DDGS (2.97 percent) is about half the lysine: crude protein in soybean meal (6.20 percent) Although the concentrations, balance and digestibility of amino acids in DDGS are inferior to those of soybean meal, DDGS can partially replace soybean meal in swine diets when adequate amounts of crystalline lysine, threonine and tryptophan are supplemented. However, like for energy, the amino acid content and digestibility vary substantially among DDGS sources. Once again, University of Minnesota researchers have developed prediction equations to accurately

estimate the standardized ileal digestibility amino acid content of DDGS sources for swine. This further supports precision swine feeding programs when using DDGS. More phosphorus from DDGS than corn Another unique and economically valuable nutrition component of DDGS is its relatively high standardized total tract digestible (STTD) phosphorus content (0.47 percent) compared with corn (0.09 percent), soybean meal (0.34 percent), and other grain and grain byproduct sources. Phosphorus is the third most expensive nutritional component in swine diets after energy and amino acids. As corn is fermented to produce ethanol and DDGS, the phosphorus content is not only concentrated, but much of it is converted to a more digestible form. As a result, substantial amounts of expensive inorganic phosphate supplements can be partially replaced in swine diets when DDGS is added. This not only reduces diet cost, but also reduces the amount of indigestible phosphorus being excreted in manure. The STTD phosphorus content also varies among DDGS sources. While prediction equations have been developed to estimate STTD of phosphorus in DDGS for swine, they are not sufficiently accurate. When formulating swine diets, the National Research Council estimate of 65 percent of STTD of phosphorus in DDGS should be applied to the total phosphorus content of DDGS.

DDGS can lead to significant feed cost reductions SWINE & U, from pg. 12 feed ingredients is one of the most important factors for achieving precision swine nutrition when formulating diets. Using accurate nutritional composition values minimizes the risk of over-feeding or under-feeding energy and nutrients relative to the pig’s requirements. They are also important for capturing the greatest economic value of feed ingredients by minimizing “safety margins” which are frequently used to manage uncertainty in the feed ingredients’ nutritional composition. Furthermore, if nutritionists have confidence in the energy and digestible amino acid values of the sources of feed ingredients they are using, they are more likely to increase diet inclusion rates if the sources are competitively priced to obtain greater diet cost savings. Nutrient content varies in all feed ingredients, but some animal nutritionists often complain that the nutrient content among DDGS sources is too variable for them to use compared with other common feed ingredients. While it is well-documented that the energy, nutrient content and digestibility are variable among DDGS sources, they are no more variable than the nutrient content of other common feed ingredients. In 2012, researchers conducted a feed ingredient analysis survey of common feed ingredients used in North America and calculated the coefficient of variation (CV) for several components. Their results showed that the CV of
crude protein was less among samples of DDGS (5.4 percent) than among samples of corn (8.7 percent) and wheat (19.1 percent). Furthermore, DDGS had the least variability in neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and phosphorus content compared with corn, soybean meal, wheat, and canola meal. However, as expected, the variability in crude fat content was the greatest among DDGS sources due to the fact that the majority of U.S. ethanol plants partially extract variable amounts of corn oil prior to manufacturing DDGS. Economic value of DDGS Due to the high ME and NE and digestible phosphorus content and relatively high digestible amino acid content of DDGS compared with corn and soybean meal, the economic value of using DDGS in swine diets can be as much as $60-$100 per ton greater than the purchase price. Numerous studies have shown that adding high amounts of DDGS (up to 30 percent in phase 2 and 3 nursery, growing/finishing and lactation diets, and up to 50 percent in gestation diets) maintains performance comparable to feeding conventional corn/soybean meal diets. Significant feed cost reductions have been achieved when using these high DDGS inclusion rates to the point where many large pork producers are attempting to find ways to use even greater amounts (50-60 percent) in grower/finisher diets. However, to achieve optimal growth performance and carcass composition when feeding diets containing more than 30 percent DDGS, re-examining the threonine requirements and managing excess
Protection Rule comment period extended ST. PAUL — An administrative law judge has extended the amount of time the public has to submit written input on the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s proposed Groundwater Protection Rule. Judge Jessica PalmerDenig issued the order to leave the comment period open until 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 15, or approximately two weeks longer than originally scheduled. Written comments on the Groundwater Protection Rule can be made on the Office of Administrative
Hearings’ website at www.mda.state. mn.us/gwprhearingnotice. The goal of the Groundwater Protection Rule is to work with local farmers to reduce elevated nitrate levels in groundwater. The proposed rule would regulate the use of nitrogen fertilizer in areas of the state where soils are vulnerable to leaching and where drinking water supplies have high nitrate levels. This article was submitted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.v
leucine relative to isoleucine and valine must be considered. The effect of DDGS fiber and amino acids in the gut The high fiber content of DDGS may increase the threonine requirement because of increased mucin production in the gastrointestinal tract, which occurs when feeding high fiber diets to pigs. Mucin contains significant amounts of threonine, which is lost and not used for growth. Corn protein in DDGS also contains high amounts of leucine relative the pig’s requirement, and excess leucine reduces the utilization of two other amino acids:
valine and isoleucine. Therefore, feeding diets containing high amounts of DDGS may result in suboptimal growth performance if these conditions are not properly managed in diet formulations. Research is underway to evaluate ways to overcome these challenges and further increase DDGS use in nursery and growing/finishing pig diets.

Genetics are driving more variety in cattle market By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WINDOM, Minn. — I caught up with Ed Yonker, President of the Minnesota Cattlemen’s Association at the organizations’ summer beef tour on July 10. Besides being a spokesman for the Minnesota Cattlemen’s Association, Yonker has a good feel for the beef business since he is a cow-calf producer just a few miles outside of Windom. “We feed out a few, sell a few for local butcher-beef and a few even go out as 4-H club calves. Personally, I’d like to add a few more cows, but we can’t find pasture around here anymore thanks to government CREP, RIM programs. There’s plenty of pasture, but we can’t use it because it’s in these various government programs. If it’s a drought year, they may let us cut it. But by that time, its too late for good pasture even.” Yonker indicated the number of cattle producers going down, but the total number of beef being marketed is going up because of some new feed lots in recent months. He was kind enough to spend a few minutes discussing the topics of the day.
The Land: What do you see as the biggest challenge facing the cattle industry today? Yonker: All the rules and regulations that we have to put up with these days. And now the various ‘humane’ society groups are also really pressuring us on how we raise and handle our cattle. Ed Yonker The Land: And the good side? Yonker: The genetics have increased so much. Our cattle are so much more efficient and productive from the cow calf to the feed lot. Thanks to better genetics, we not only have faster gaining and more productive cattle; but we also have healthier and more durable cattle. The Land: Are we seeing more breeds — even more combinations of different breeds? Yonker: Well, a good example might be the Holsteins. They are a completely different animal than the colored breeds. I buy a lot of Holsteins. I

work for American Foods and buy Holsteins every week. On the colored breeds, it seems to me they are getting closer together to each find a way to get and keep a segment of that consumer market. The Land: So are consumers somewhat dictating what’s going on in the genetics of modern beef cattle? Yonker: Consumer trends always should be watched. On some of these cattle, the rib eye is getting so big a normal person can’t eat a rib eye steak. They want a smaller rib eye so they can still enjoy their salad and vegetable also — plus perhaps their beverage and desert. The Land: Are these newer genetics leading to heavier processing weights? Yonker: I think just the opposite. In recent weeks we’ve taken a lot of weight off these cattle. We were simply getting too many 1,500-pound and bigger animals. So both the consumer and reducing feeding costs led to 1,300 pound live weights as being the new desirable market weight. Plus, we can’t afford to have them in the feedlot up to these 1,500-poundplus harvest weights. And they have to be lean. We can’t handle all that fat that comes with these heavier animals. The Land: Do you see the cattle feeding industry moving north? Are Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas no longer the ‘king pins’ they used to be? Yonker: It’s happening. We’ve got the feed up here. Plus we’ve got the buildings that permit total confinement operations eliminating the hassles of winter feeding in sub zero conditions. And big in this northward move has been the development of the ethanol industry up here which has provided a tremendous source of lower-cost feeds. GDD’s feeds now are common, convenient and feeders use them up to 30 percent of a total ration. Distillers grains are tremendous feeds for cattle. The Land: We can’t ignore President Trump and his tariff comments. Are they a real threat? Yonker: No, we certainly can’t ignore Trump. But how much is talk and how much is real world? We’re getting indications its real and markets already — especially soybeans — are feeling the pinch. Will this soon straighten out without too much damage? A lot of the time I think we’re getting the short end of the stick with a lot of our trading partners. Somebody’s got to stand up for us. I think our president is trying to do just that. If he gets it done? Who knows as this stage! v

Cattlemen give ethanol plants credit for more livestock By DICK HAGEN With feeding numbers The Land Staff Writer expanding, are stocker cow numbers also increasing?

Then perhaps we could supply those countries that used to buy from Australia and New Zealand.” Herbold says he’s okay with market weights on beef these days, tipping at 15 cwt., but mostly in that 13-14 cwt. category. “Most guys remember 2015 when 15 to 17 cwts. which got us into some problems. I sold a lot of 11 cwt. heifers and 12 to 14 cwt. steers this spring.” His take on excessive spring rains on cattle? Herbold chuckled, “Is kind of tough to grow your cattle in the mud. But as rains go, I know they’re having a great hay crop out in western Dakota where they had drought conditions for a couple years now. Hopefully they’ll have enough hay crop so they won’t have to liquidate their cows.” And is black still the predominant cooler in these feed lots? Herbold gives credit to the Angus marketing people for getting their product out to restaurants and fine food stores. “But there’s just a ton of good breeds out there anymore. Just because they ain’t black,
doesn’t suggest they aren’t good cattle. There’s a lot of good cross breeds, F1 crosses, red Angus … they do just as good, but maybe don’t get the premiums that packers are willing to pay for the CAB Blacks (Certified Angus Black).” Herbold sees beef consumption picking up. “Beef consumption I deal with relates to the economy. If the economy is good, people are going to eat beef. It boils down to that reality. Yep, I’m a bit biased because of my work in the beef industry. But I think consumers are getting a little tired of poultry and chicken. Plus our economy is doing well. So there is a huge demand stateside for beef.” Is niche marketing your own country-brand beef to selected restaurants and food stores a doable business? Herbold simply admitted it a great way to market your cattle — but getting your name established is high risk and takes time. “It’s a tough market to get into, but power to those entrepreneurs that can make it work.” v

MARKETING
Grain Outlook Corn making a comback? The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 20. CORN — Have we finally turned a corner in corn? After setting a fresh contract low last week, corn closed higher every day of the week and had its largest one-week rally since June 2017! Declining crop conditions, despite mostly favorable weather conditions across much of the corn belt, lent underlying support, as did strong demand and an improving technical picture. However, the August forecast is looking warmer and drier. The negative factors, mainly the trade situations with our trading partners, may have for the moment been factored into pricPHYLLIS NYSTROM es. Fund selling for the week was CHS Hedging Inc. not as strong as anticipated. St. Paul Funds were estimated to still be net short 107,000 contracts, leaving them with significant room to buy. Strong export demand was seen this week with huge weekly export sales of 25.2 million bushels. The total included a cargo cancellation by EU — likely due to the 25 percent tariff they recently put on U.S.corn imports. However, the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a statement later indicating that 80,000 metric tons (3.15 million bushels) of corn was mistakenly reported as sold to Argentina. This sale did not take place and it will be corrected on the next report. This keeps us 4 percent ahead of last year with 2.3 billion bushels of sales commitments. Old crop sales are over 96 percent of the USDA’s 2.4 billion bushel projection, but are behind the 102 percent average for this week. New crop sales were reported at 30.5 million bushels, bringing total new crop sales to 213.5 million bushels. This is well ahead of last year’s 138.3 million bushels sold at this time. In other news, Argentina cut their corn production estimate 1 million metric tons to 31 mmt. Months ago, their initial crop forecast was 43 mmt! The USDA is carrying them at 33 mmt. Weekly ethanol production was 31,000 barrels per day higher at 1.064 million barrels per day with the largest weekly increase in 11 weeks. Ethanol stocks fell 625,000 barrels to 21.77 million barrels. Margins were cut in half to 5 cents per gallon. See NYSTROM, pg. 19

Livestock markets appear to be forming their own directions as we approach the end of July. The cattle market seems to have turned the corner at this juncture, trying to establish a low in mid-summer. On the other hand, the hog market appears to be headed in the opposite direction as prices have continued to tumble in the past several weeks. The cattle market, despite all the fears of tariffs in the news lately, has found a steady-tohigher price discovery in the past several weeks. This also, in the face of declining beef cutouts, the cash price has remained steady to higher over the past several JOE TEALE weeks. Granted, there is a lot of Broker overhead resistance to confirm prices will continue to improve. Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. On July 20, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the monthly Cattle on Feed report and the semi-annual Cattle Inventory report. Both reports were in line with expectations and were deemed as neutral. The next several weeks will apparently be crucial to the cattle market price direction. Both cash and futures markets will have to break out to higher levels or the continuation of a sideways price direction will continue. This should signal to producers to carefully monitor market conditions and direction in the next few weeks and act accordingly to protect inventories if needed. For several weeks, the hog market has been on a downward spiral. The futures market had anticipat-
There is a great amount of change in the tax code resulting from the tax cuts and jobs acts signed into law last December. Now that we are half way into our year, let’s examine some issues farmers will want to make sure they are up to date on. Depreciation seemed to be one hot topic for the tax reform. The first tax law modification which will warrant some planning is the change to tax deferred exchanges. Under the new law, tax deferred exchanges (also called 1031 exchanges) are only permissible on real property. Personal property, such as equipment, will have a deemed sale to be recognized to the extent of the trade-in allowance. JAN SCHAFFNER For example, a farmer trades in Compeer Manager a tractor and the dealer gives him of Tax Development a trade-in allowance of $50,000 Arcadia, Wis. on a new tractor with a price of $135,000. The taxpayer now has to recognize the $50,000 as a sale of an asset as ordinary income. However, the new asset will be able to be depreciated at the full $135,000. Second is an increased limit to the Special Depreciation Allowance (referred to as bonus depreciation) that is allowed on qualifying assets. This is now increased to 100 percent additional depreciation in the year that the property is placed in service. Both new and used assets qualify for the new allowance. If elected, this bonus depreciation would apply to all assets in one class per year. For example, if you wanted to use the special depreciation on a used tractor, you would also have to use the special allowance on the new corn head you bought. If you constructed a heifer shed instead of the corn head, you could take the special allowance on the tractor and not the heifer shed. Another example would be if a farmer built a machine shop which cost $250,000 and it was completed on Nov. 15 and there were no other 20-year assets purchased in 2018. The choice is to depreciate 100 percent (all $250,000) in 2018, thus leaving no depreciation deductions for the following years; or elect out of bonus depreciation and allow the whole building to depreciate over 20 years. By accelerating depreciation, business owners can lower their current tax liability and save current year tax dollars. However, they should stop long

Record June soybean crush is rare bright spot in market NYSTROM, from pg. 18 Crop conditions fell 3 percent to 72 percent good/ excellent as of July 15. The five-year average rating for this week was 70 percent. Ratings are expected to decline as soil moisture levels decrease, which is expected if the first half August forecast is accurate. Sixty-three percent of the crop was pollinating at mid-month versus 37 percent on average, keeping weather as a critical factor for kernel fill. This is the second-fastest rate in 18 years. Chatter about a 180 bu./acre national corn yield has subsided, although something above the current 174 bu./acre is still in the mix. On the political front this week, the Mexican ambassador believes NAFTA talks may be a done deal by the end of the year. There were some reports that a preliminary deal could be in place by late August. If so, it would take another 90 days for approval by the United States. There have not been any official talks with China since June and none on the schedule. Outlook: For the week, September corn rallied 14 cents to $3.55.25 and the December contract gained 14.25 cents to settle at $3.69 per bushel. Seasonally, corn tends to trend lower into harvest, but a recovery rally wouldn’t be unusual if the hotter August forecast is correct. Strong demand, lower production numbers in South America, EU, and the Black Sea region, and uncertain weather may keep the recent lows in place for now. Fund short covering took place during the week after growing to a record net short for this time of year, but they still hold a net short position. If underlying support continues, we could see further support from this sector in the short run. The next World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report is August 10. While not ready to sell 2019 corn production, it’s time to put it on the radar. With the trade tariffs affecting soybeans much greater than corn, next year’s corn acreage will be expected to increase at the expense of soybean acres in the United States. South
MARKETING American soybean acres will likely rise to capture the increased market share of Chinese business. Time to add one more thing to your watch list. SOYBEANS — For the first time since March, soybeans closed higher for five days in a row! We also reversed the pattern of double-digit losses on July 16. We began the week by setting a new contract low at $8.10.5 in the August contract and $8.26.25 in the November contract before rallying back on little news and thin volumes. Record June soybean crush, as reported by National Oilseed Processors Association, brought beans back from their lowest level since December 2008. The gains were extended into the week on declining crop conditions and traders wondering if all the negative trade news had already been traded. President Trump’s comments about favoring a weak U.S. dollar and lower interest rates may have played a part in the late week decline in the U.S. dollar index. This is usually favorable for commodity prices. However, his comments about putting tariffs on up to $500 billion of Chinese imports stunted the upswing in beans. This dollar figure nearly matches the amount of Chinese goods imported by the United States last year. The United States, China and several other countries affected by the steel and aluminum tariffs have filed World Trade Organization claims. June NOPA soybean crush was a record for June at 159.2 million bushels. This is the eighth month in a row we’ve set a monthly record. June soyoil stocks were smaller than expected at 1.766 billion pounds on strong export and biodiesel use. The weekly export sales report was as expected for old crop at 9.3 million bushels. Total sales commitments are down 4 percent from last year at 2.12 billion bushels, but are above the 2.085 USDA outlook. A hindrance to upping the export line for this year is the amount of unshipped sales to China. It’s uncer-

Packers have plenty of animals TEALE, from pg. 18 ed the seasonal pattern and started lower — first moving from a premium to a discount back in the middle of June. Soon the cash followed and then the pork cutout has completed moving away from the highs in each category. Currently, the futures market is oversold and could post a recovery rally to narrow the discount to cash prices. However, it would appear it would only be a rally to relieve the pressure of being oversold. The cash market appears to be weak as there appears to be enough inventory of live animals to satisfy the packers’ needs at this time. The
cutout values for pork are nearing the $80 hundredweight level which is a significant level as far as a crossroads to consumer demand. The psychological aspect of the market, which has helped keep the hog market on the defensive, has been the fear of tariffs on pork. However, as time has elapsed, the market seems to absorbed enough to satisfy any further weakness from that fear. Producers are urged to keep aware of market conditions and if needed protect inventories. v
tain whether those sales will get rolled forward or cancelled. New crop sales were higher than expectations at 22.6 million bushels, including two cargoes sold to Argentina. New crop sales are up 61.5 percent from last year at 325.8 million bushels. With U.S. soybean prices trading around a 20 percent discount to Brazil, sales to non-China buyers for new crop are record big. For example, Mexico has bought 1 mmt of new crop U.S. soybeans vs. 357 tmt last year at this point, and Pakistan has bought 1.4 mmt of old crop beans vs. just 783 tmt last year. China’s June pig herd was down 1.8 percent from last year, supporting China’s indication their soybean imports will fall year-on-year in 2018-19 for the first time in fifteen years. Soybean conditions as of July 15 fell 2 percent to 72 percent good/excellent vs. the five-year average of 69 percent good/excellent. The International Monetary Fund is pressuring Argentina to discontinue their monthly 0.50 percent decrease in soybean export taxes when it reaches 25.5 percent. The tax is currently 26.5 percent and would fall to 24 percent by the end of this year. Outlook: For the week, August beans surged 31 cents higher to close at $8.49.75 and November beans jumped 30.5 cents higher to $8.64.75 per bushel. August meal was up 90 cents per ton at $326.90 and soyoil was up a quarter-cent at $.2822 per pound. August weather makes or breaks the soybean crop. Current forecasts are hotter and drier, which should lend underlying support to beans. However, further tariffs on Chinese goods may hinder any upside potential in soybeans, but the tariff on beans is already in place, so unless it’s increased, additional tariffs on other goods should have a muted effect on soybeans. Funds covered a portion of their net short position during the week, but have room in both directions to either cover or add to their short position. For now, it looks like weather will take the lead over politics in leading price direction. If an agreement is reached with China, a significant rally would be expected, but there is nothing signaling a settlement. If the abovenormal temperature forecast is accurate, a weather premium may need to be put back into the market; but the upside may be kept in check by limited demand. We could expect additional volatility in soybeans and consolidation as we move into the critical August weather period. Nystrom’s Notes: Contract changes for the week ended July 20: Minneapolis September wheat rallied 23.25 cents to $5.55, Chicago gained 19 cents at $5.16, and Kansas City was 16.75 cents higher at $5.08.5 per bushel. Crude oil fell 55 cents for the week to $70.46 per barrel, ULSD dropped 3 cents per gallon, RBOB was 3.75 cents lower, and natural gas was down just one-half cent. The U.S. dollar index was down 305 ticks as of mid-afternoon on July 20. v

THE LAND — JULY 27/AUGUST 3, 2018
Consult your tax advisor on changes in reulations SCHAFFNER, from pg. 18 enough to examine what it may cost in future years. When looking at the current situation, it is also important to stay focused on the long haul. Ultimately, it is the taxpayers’ choice, but one should at least examine the impact in future years. Something else to keep in mind when using bonus or an accelerated depreciation method: it will reduce your Schedule C or F income. But this in turn will also reduce the amount of the new 199A deduction you will receive since this deduction is limited to your net Income on your business schedule. One last change that needs attention is the change of the domestic production activities deduction (known as DPAD) which was available to decrease
adjusted gross income. Congress allowed cooperatives to continue to pass through this deduction. However, the tax reform changed for non-co-ops on how it is calculated. They created a new Section 199A deduction which is a 20 percent qualified business income deduction This will provide a deduction to taxable income, but will not reduce adjusted gross income. The difference between where the DPAD is deducted and where the Section 199A is deducted could be a huge factor for Health insurance that is purchased through the marketplace if the individual had taken the premium tax credit in advance. Many times, year-end tax planning opportunities are discussed to ensure that the client stays within the desired income they used to apply for health insurance.
Marketplace Insurance is calculated off of adjusted gross income and not taxable income. With all of the tax reform changes, one has to look not only to this year, but to many years down the road. Because of the sunset provisions and potential tax code changes in the future, it becomes extremely important not to make major changes to your business structure without looking ahead. The key to navigating these changes is having a solid relationship with your tax consultant. Having a conversation with your tax consultant sooner rather than later will give you the best chance to be proactive with these changes and use them to your advantage.

The healing of nature
arge white pine trees are often described as towering … or majestic. You could say both of those things about two white pines in Munsinger Gardens on the east bank of the Mississippi River in St. Cloud. These two trees do tower out of a pedestrian’s sight and they are majestic. Maybe it’s that towering majesty that give them their capacity to calm the spirit. The entire garden (and it is large) has that calming capacity. Whether it’s the pale violet hosta flowers, the intense scarlet salvia, the trumpet-shaped day lilies, the dark green white cedar trees, or the tall graceful Norway pines overhead, they all have a capacity to help the visitor see that everything is unified and together — or soon will be. Not far from the Munsinger Gardens is St. Cloud’s busy and noisy Division Street — the center of the city’s retail sector. There is a constant flow of traffic, buzz of tires and exhaust, and honk of horns on Division Street. Night and day the traffic flows. But a mile away from the stress and bustle of Division Street, the Mississippi flows, night and day, past Munsinger Gardens. In a short while, sitting on the swings and benches under the shade of the great trees, the Mississippi can wash away all of the city you may have gathered up on Division Street. Munsinger Gardens, which is cared for by the City of St. Cloud, has those healing properties for many people. There is a granite bench in a pool of sunlight. Engraved on the bench is a name of a family who dedicated the bench to a loved one.
I imagine that beloved family member coming to Munsinger Gardens and sometime sitting in the sunlight and sometimes in the shade. She walks along the winding paths among splashes of bright color and the dark green of the cedars. She sits quietly and rocks on the swing and then she goes and leans a shoulder against one of the great white pines. From there she can watch the sunlight dance on the river and she is healed. I don’t mean healed like chemotherapy or radiation healing. I mean healed in the sense that she is at peace with whatever will come. Beauty can do that to you if you let it. Munsinger Gardens has that kind of healing beauty. You can find it at 1515 Riverside Drive in St. Cloud. v
