Then, as if the winter swim against the market tide had finally taken its toll, ADM shares dropped to $75 in two months.

Other ag companies not only followed the same pattern (higher from January through late April, then hard declines) most prices peaked on or about the same day, April 20.

For example, Deere & Co., a huge market winner Standard all round for several years, saw share prices climb from $373 30 COLORS 26-29 GAUGE durability on Jan. 3 to $441 on April 20, then sink to $320 by late June. Similarly, shares of Bunge Ltd. (an ADM competitor) began the year at $94, rose to $125 on — yet again — April 20, then crack back to $94 by late June.

Likewise, share prices of Mosaic, a world leader in potash and phosphate fertilizers, rose from $40 on Jan. 3 to $78 (on, eerily, April 20) and now trades at $50.

Standing seam architecture 30 COLORS 26-29 GAUGE look for half the price So what was going on with these strong, againstthe-tide swimmers this past winter and what happened on April 20 to convince many of these companies’ investors to get out of the water?

The simple answer is the most obvious answer: Higher ag commodity prices led to higher ag company share prices because better commodity prices often lead to increased farmer purchases of inputs

like machinery and fertilizer.

That was especially so for wheat. On Jan. 3, July wheat futures were snoring along at $7.55 a bushel.

By May, however, new crop futures had leapt to $12.80 on war news from Ukraine and reports that famine might soon follow.

By June, though, commodity traders had updated their demand and supply estimates (and rechecked their math) and began to discount famine forecasts.

Afterwards, wheat prices sank back to $9.

Wheat wasn’t alone; other key commodities began to show more … ah, bare skin.

Lumber futures prices, once the highest of flyers, splintered from their January mark of $1,330 per 1,000 board feet to just $584 on June 27. Likewise, copper futures fell from $4.47 per pound in January to their year-to-date low $3.37 on June 28.

And why April 20? On that date, reported Pro Farmer, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell “blessed a half-point interest rate hike” to “signal support for further aggressive monetary tightening…”

The key word in the announcement turned out to be “further.” Markets don’t like that word — especially when it arrives unexplained and open-ended.

But the Fed announcement marked high tide. On April 20, the Dow stood at 35,160; two months later it was 29,160, 15 percent lower. Those two months left a lot of investors burnt beet red on the beach.

So what does it mean for markets in the second half of 2022?

If wise old Warren knows, he’s not saying.

He did, however, once confess he has no special powers when it comes to making money. “If calculus or algebra were required to be a great investor, I’d have to go back to delivering newspapers.”

Poultry exhibition ban released ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Board of Animal Health released its temporary poultry exhibition ban on July 1. Animal health officials first enacted the ban in April and extended it twice to reduce the potential risks of spreading Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. The ban included all poultry swaps, fairs, exhibitions and other events where live poultry and susceptible birds were brought together and then dispersed.

While there have been no new HPAI detections in Minnesota’s domestic poultry for the past month, biosecurity is still the most effective precaution poultry owners can follow to protect their flock. There are

still occasional detections of HPAI in wild birds, which means the virus is still in the environment and poses a risk to bird owners.

Bird owners preparing for their local county fair should take some specific biosecurity precautions before and after the fair — such as handwashing, reporting sick birds to the fair veterinarian, and keeping birds isolated from the rest of your flock when returning home.

Time for a midsummer garden checklist ALEXANDRIA, Minn. — This summer has been a whirlwind of hot and cold temperatures, severe weather, too much or too little rain and definitely too much wind! For gardeners, this year has been particularly challenging.

The Extension Horticulture Team has created the following checklist to assist gardeners in caring for their plants.

Container care — Don’t let your containers dry out! Water when the soil feels dry at one inch down, this could mean you need to water daily. Fertilize your containers every 2-3 weeks.

Maintain your lawn — With our hot soil temperatures, avoid seeding lawns until the weather cools in mid-August.

Conserve water by extending the time between waterings. Instead of watering daily, water once a week deeply. This will encourage healthy root growth.

Raise your mower height to 4 inches to shade and cool the soil.

Avoid spraying herbicides in hot

weather — Herbicides containing 2, 4-D or dicamba can vaporize in hot weather and damage sensitive garden plants. Wait until prolonged cool fall weather to spray.

Identify insect pests — If you suspect plant damage is from insects, identify that pest prior to spraying insecticide.

Once identified, you can select a pesticide that targets that particular insect.

Vegetable care — You may be seeing blossom end rot in your first tomatoes due to the hot weather we’ve had. Just remove the fruit with symptoms so the plant can put its energy into new, healthy fruit. Garlic scapes (the flower buds) are starting to appear, which means we are about 3 to 4 weeks out from garlic harvest. It’s worth taking the time to remove the scapes so the plant will put its energy into the bulb.

bread: the plucker.

Had it not been for the chicken plucker, I doubt that you would ever see me at a butchering exhibition again. It is no wonder the previous generations spoke so loathsome of plucking. Giving a chicken carcass a ride in the plucker is the most extreme wardrobe change in the history of wardrobe changes. It goes from looking like a feathered friend to looking more like dinner in a half a minute.

I am not sure what exactly my expectations were. I suppose I thought it would be a loud, boisterous, feathery mess — which it really was not. The entire process went along rather quickly and quietly, with minimal amounts of plumage floating about. I quite enjoyed getting to work alongside my brother again, as we had not done so in many years. I also enjoyed the silly banter, kindly teasing and the sense of accomplishment from a job

well done.

Maybe my youthful thought of missing out — having never butchered chickens — was not too far-fetched.

Had I turned down the opportunity, I would not have been able to enjoy the sense of community I felt when neighbors help one another. No matter how hot or loathsome a job, good hearted, neighborly company makes it tolerable.

Some folks of my generation have traded the opportunity to genuinely gather — for any reason at all — for a false sense of community found on a screen. Maybe the older generation had the right idea: even if the job was miserable, they at least had company.

I wonder if it’s time for us to start butchering more chickens.

sliced eggs. Top with about 2 tablespoons of cooked, crumbled bacon and some paprika. You can also top with any other ingredients you choose such as jalapeños or more hot sauce. n When I think of a smoker, meat immediately comes to mind.

Beef or pork, smoking it nice and slow is the only way to go. We tried this tender pork recipe last weekend, and the results were spectacular.

Smoked Pulled Pork Shoulder https://www.billyparisi.com/smoked-pulled-pork-shoulder-recipe/ Rub: 2 tablespoons sea salt 2 tablespoons black pepper 2 tablespoons garlic granules 2 tablespoons onion granules 2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons cumin/ Spritzer and sauce: 1 cup apple juice 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/2 cup water For the pork: 6-9 pound pork shoulder or pork butt, fat trimmed 4 tablespoons of yellow or Dijon mustard Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees. Place a drip pan filled with water under the grill grates.

Rub: Combine all the ingredients and set them aside.

Spritzer: Add the apple juice, cider and water to a spray bottle and shake. Set aside.

Rub mustard on every side of the pork shoulder, creating a thin layer. Add the pork shoulder to the smoker over the drip pan filled with water and smoke for three hours. Spray the pork shoulder with 15-20 sprays of the spritzer. Repeat this process for the next 3 hours every hour with the same amount of spritzes.

Once the pork reaches an internal temperature of between 165 and 170 or the top part of the fat on the bark has split, about 6-7 hours, remove the pork from the smoker. Place the pork shoulder on a large sheet of double foil, generously spritz it, and wrap it extremely tight by folding over and covering up the pork shoulder. Place the pork shoulder back on the smoker, bone side up and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees to 205, about 2-4 hours. Remove the pork shoulder from the smoker and rest in the foil for 30-60 minutes before removing the bone, large chunks of fat and pulling it using forks, claws or tongs. Serve should with BBQ sauce on the side or as a sandwich.

Now that we’re a smoker family, I look forward to diving into all food creations that utilize the smoker. If you have any recipes that feature the smoker, send them my way, I would love to expand my repertoire as well as share them with The Land readers.

Managing the Japanese beetle ST. CLOUD Minn. — As the growing season continues with ornamental and producing plants, we need to look towards managing pests. One pest that can cause major damage to your plants is the Japanese Beetle. They start to appear in late June to early July and can last into September. You can identify adult Japanese Beetles by their metallic green head and thorax, and their brown copper wing covers. Their larva, also known as white grubs, can be identified by their tan head and white C-shaped body. Their legs will also be visible to the naked eye.

Adult Japanese beetles will feed on leaves, flowers, and fruits of more than 300 different types of plants, making them a common pest for all growers. They often damage plants by eating the soft tissue on leaves between major veins skeletonizing the leaves and leaving a lace-like appearance. The blossoms of flowering plants are often damaged too.

The damage caused by Japanese beetles is mostly cosmetic and won’t cause any long-term injuries to the plant. However, young or unhealthy plants may become stunted, injured, or even killed from severe, persistent feeding. The larvae feed on grass roots, decreasing the grass’s ability to take up water. This can leave dead patches of grass on your lawn. Dead

patches caused by larva can be identified if the patches can be rolled like a carpet due to lack of roots.

Starting management when you first notice beetles to minimize damage. Physically removing the beetles can be the most effective practice for small gardens and yards. Knocking beetles off the plants into a bucket of soapy water will kill the beetles. It is best to do this in the morning or the evening when beetles are slow. Physically removing beetles will reduce the number of beetles attracted to your plants. You can also use a physical barrier, like an insect net, to prevent damage. However, do not cover plants in bloom because it will prevent pollination of fruiting plants.

Do not use Japanese beetle traps to manage beetles. These traps use a pheromone to attract beetles and can bring more beetles and other insects into your garden or yard.

Pesticides can be used to manage population, but it is not recommended. If you do use pesticides, make sure you are following the label and proper practices to avoid damages and injuries that can be caused by pesticides.

Restrictions in place for Chlorpyrifos Chlorpyrifos is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide (IRAC group 1B) used on nursery plants, ornamentals, wood structures, cattle, roach bait stations, and other habitats. Chlorpyrifos has been detected in surface waters in Minnesota through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Ambient Water Monitoring Program and is currently designated as a “Surface Water Pesticide of Concern.”

The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked all food and feed tolerances for chlorpyrifos and the MDA did not renew the registration of chlorpyrifos products with food and feed uses in 2022. This means that chlorpyrifos products with food and feed uses

cannot be sold or distributed in Minnesota, nor applied to food and feed crops.

Non-agricultural uses of chlorpyrifos such as on golf course turf, industrial sites, greenhouse and nursery production, sod farms, and wood products are still allowed.

For disposal of unused product contact the product registrant about return options. If they will not take the unused product, local disposal can be made through the MDA Waste Pesticide Program. Visit https://www.mda.state.mn.us/ for more details.

A third category lists plants which contain oxalate crystals in the juice or sap which can cause throat swelling, breathing difficulties or stomach upset.

Plants in this category include begonia, caladium, dieffenbachia, rhubarb leaves, calla lilies and others.

The fourth category contains plants where the juice, sap or thorns will cause skin rash or irritation such as poison ivy, Balsam Fir, bougainvillea thorns, English Daisy, bleeding heart, rubber tree and fig.

Our state flower, the Lady’s Slipper, can cause skin irritation when touched.

Several plants fit into more than one category such as Lily of the Valley, hydrangea, cardinal flower and oleander which are fatal if eaten and can cause a rash when handled. From my own experience, not all potentially skin irritating plants will irritate all people.

However, gardening is best done while wearing gloves as much as possible to prevent skin irritation as well as to protect fingernails. Skin exposure may be minimized by a thorough hand washing as well as washing gloves and gardening clothing. The oil in poison ivy, urushiol, can be a particular problem because it can remain on clothing, shoes and tools for extended periods of time. While many of these plants can be cultivated with care, some like oleander and Angel’s trumpet, Brugmansia are so potentially toxic they should not be grown when pets or children may encounter them.

Bulbs such a hyacinth, narcissus and daffodil are not ones people would think of eating, but their toxicity is the reason that squirrels will dig them up and then leave them after realizing they are dangerous.

The Texas A & M Agri Life Extension also has a list of poisonous plants and the symptoms they cause to children or adults. Several other state extension websites contain useful information. And the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service and University of Minnesota Extension websites list the damage that some plants can cause to livestock.

Consult medical care whenever poisoning is suspected.

However, agriculture was not in her college mals: working with them and seeing the results.

When asked about what he is looking for in an internship, he said, “an internship that covers as many aspects of the industry but also goes in depth into each section … and learning Ben Radke more about what it all takes to raise a pig from when they are farrowed all the way to the processing plant.”

Students are not only looking for opportunities and a fulfilling career, but different experiences in the daily operations of agricultural businesses.

Organizational leaders — how are you creating an inclusive and engaging environment for students to thrive and consider a career within your organization and the broader industry?

For those considering agricultural engineering or technology, Klimesh recommends, “While technical knowledge is critical to your career, allot time to immerse yourself in the daily operation of agricultural businesses. Nothing is more valuable when implementing technology or innovation than having a deep understanding and appreciation of how it might affect the day-to-day work.”

For students considering an internship, Radke suggests, “Absolutely do it. The information that they provide is invaluable. I would also tell them don’t be afraid to do an internship that you’re not so sure about, better to find out about it now than later in life.”

When asked about a fun fact about food/agriculture, Klimesh shared, “Agriculture is the largest employer in the world and is absolutely essential to life, as well as pretty enjoyable considering all the meal choices we have on a daily basis! It feels good to know this industry is never going away; but also that there’s so many opportunities for improvement in the areas of sustainability and innovation. Agriculture can offer a diverse and rewarding career for anyone!”

Earlier this year, I attended the Southwest Minnesota State University Ag Bowl Scholarship Invitational where Brian Knochenmus, president and owner of Ralco Nutrition, delivered an opening address to nearly 1,000 high school students from across the state. What was his message? “There is a place for each of you in food and agriculture … there’s a place for everyone.”

Well said, Brian. As someone who had no intention of returning to the region, more less the agriculture industry, I couldn’t agree more. There is a place for everyone in food and agriculture.

It begins with cows, sows and plows — and ends with feeding the world.

Matt Erickson The Land spoke with Matt Erickson on June 23 Fertile, Minn. as he reported soybean planting finished on June 10. “The beans are out of the ground and starting June 23 to look like beans.” The corn is taking off as well.



“It’s amazing how fast the corn has grown.” The 22-inch rows are just about canopied. “It’s almost knee-high.”

“We got substantial damage to our bin site.” There was destruction on all of Johnson’s corn bin roofs. Thankfully, she found the bins will be able to be repaired as soon as possible, as the parts to do so are available.

The growing season is moving right along for Erickson. “The rye is all baled up and in storage.” He has some prevent plant ground which will be seeded with sorghum stand.



As for the crops? “They are looking good … considering” — though Johnson has observed that the late-planted corn is experiencing rootless corn syndrome. This root development issue occurs when there is little or no nodal root development. Some of that corn tipped over on the June 20 storm.

In the next few weeks, Johnson will continue spraying soybeans. “We are going to ramp up to some top-dressing sidedressing of corn.”

“Talking some rain tonight or tomorrow evening.” Three-fourths of an inch of rain fell at the Erickson farm on June 20. “Right here we didn’t have any bad weather.” That rain was perfect timing.

“We’re about right.” The gusts that have been present in the spring and now summer, remain. “The wind has been a little relentless.”

Erickson is all caught up spraying. He plans to spray Dicamba on the beans next week. He’ll plant sorghum-sudangrass tomorrow as well as German millet.

He is still in the process of moving cattle to the six pastures.

It’s been a slow process, hampered by trying to get the rest of the crops planted.

“This third storm got our farm.” The Land Leah Johnson Evansville, Minn. spoke with Leah Johnson on June 23 as she reported the severe weather on June 20 June 23 resulted in 80-mile-per-hour wind gusts.

“Crops looks good. We could use some Bob Roelofs Garden City, Minn. rain shortly.” The Land spoke with Bob Roelofs on July 1 as he reported the fields July 1 are flourishing. The corn is waist-high. “It

really shot up. It really pulled moisture out of the ground.”

The last substantial rain was three inches, which fell three weeks ago.

There’s a chance for rain early next week, which would be great news for the crops.

Roelofs is starting to spray soybeans. He estimates that 50 percent of beans in the area have been sprayed.

He has hired two high school helpers and is hoping to hire one more by mid-summer. They will help with a variety of tasks, which includes assisting in some hog site remodeling.

Roelofs has been on the Mapleton police force for the past few weeks and the transition back into law enforcement has been a smooth one. “It seems to be working well. It hasn’t taken much for me to get re-adjusted.”

“We could use a little rain. There is a chance of rain tomorrow.” Moisture is welcome, more wind is not. “We would really appreciate it if the wind would shut off.”

“We haven’t gotten a break,” Johnson explained that all three damaging storms in the area came from the southwest. This is unusual as storms mostly come from the northwest.

See JOHNSON, pg. 10

“We finally finished getting the old machine Scott Winslow Fountain, Minn. shed down.” The Land spoke with Scott Winslow on June 30 as he reported that the shed, damJune 30 aged in a December 2021 storm, is now gone,

making way for the new shed to be constructed in the next few weeks.

While storms have stayed away from Winslow’s farm these past few weeks, misfortune has not. “No big storms, but we did have a disaster.” The co-op that sprays Winslow’s corn and soybeans forgot he planted conventional corn and sprayed the field on June 17. That resulted in 70 acres of dead corn. “We had to scramble to find some seed.” He found the earliest seed he could find, 91 and 92-day. Winslow was able to get the corn in the ground that day and finished planting on June 18.

There’s a significant difference between the corn planted in May and the crop grown just a few weeks ago. “I have corn that is a little over waist-high and a little over knee-high on a dog.” Overall, though, the crop is doing well. “All the corn is two weeks behind.” At this time of year, it’s usually above head high.

Nutritional content of DDGS should be monitored closely 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, and only about 52, 000 metric tons (4 percent) were fed to swine. Today, more than 37 million metric tons of DDGS are produced, of which more than 5 million metric tons (14 percent) are being fed to swine domestically and another 13 million metric tons (35 percent) are 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 (Urriola et al., 2014; and Wu et al., 2016b) have developed and validated prediction equations based on chemical 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 provide 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 dehulled, solvent-

By Jerry Shurson 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 (6.2 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 (Zeng et al., 2017) 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, and 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. Fine-tuning DDGS in the swine diet Obtaining accurate estimates of energy and the digestible amino acid and phosphorus content of feed ingredients is one of the most important factors See SWINE & U, pg. 14

StoneX adds, “Fed cattle marketed in May grew to nearly a 2.5 percent surplus from last year. Currently, year-todate marketings are even with marketings up to this point in 2021.

Placements were expected to be slightly higher than year-ago levels, but ended up lower than expected, supporting the observation in the market that the cattle herd is contracting.”

In the week ending June 18, 54,100 dairy cows were sent to slaughter, up 3,700 head from the previous week, and 900 or 1.7 percent above a year ago.

A key question right now is whether dairy markets are supply directed or demand directed. HighGround Dairy’s Lucas Fuess reported in the July 4 “Dairy Radio Now” broadcast that milk supply in most parts of the globe is down from a year ago and has been so for a few months.

“A few weeks ago, I would have said it’s more supply driven,” Fuess said.

That kept prices supported as demand exceeded supply, but he foresees milk output topping year ago levels sometime this summer or fall. Weather has affected milk volume and components in select regions of the United States, he said. “It gets hot every summer and so far, the effect hasn’t been huge, but we will keep an eye on it.”

He warned that demand is becoming the key driver as we face “some significant economic headwinds” how the economy will shape consumer behavior, be it inflation, retail spending, or food service demand. “We are seeing warning signs on the demand side,” he concluded, “and that will likely make the market a little bit bearish the next several months.” But he doesn’t see prices collapsing. n

year ago. There were 28 sales on the week and 112 for the month of June, down from 116 in May. n Warmer temperatures are affecting farm milk output throughout the United States, according to USDA’s weekly update. Milk declines in the East were being reported in most areas as a downswing also occurs in the Central region. Western output is level to moderately elevated.

In politics, Wisconsin-based Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative announced its priorities for reforming the federal milk pricing system, stating it is focused on “strengthening the relationship between farmers and processors in a way that increases transparency, fairness and competition, and gives farmers a reasonable amount of price certainty,” according to CEO Tim Trotter.

“Differences across the Federal Milk Marketing Orders require added flexibility to meet their respective needs, and current markets driving milk outside the FMMO system point to a need for a standard set of ‘contracting principles’ to build a more fair and equitable pricing system,” Trotter said.

Edge proposes 10 contracting principles which would “cover timeliness of payments, transparency in pricing formulas, incentive payments, competitive risk management and other aspects of business between farmers and processors.” Complete details are posted at the cooperative’s website.

The market took that slight increase as a very bearish input and sold off hard on report day. It felt like the market needed something very bullish to hold on, and those numbers didn’t come.

Adding to the corn market woes this week was the export numbers. Export inspections were the second-lowest total of the past 10 weeks. And sadly, the numbers didn’t improve when export sales data was released on June 30. The combined total was a marketing year low. Cancellations to Panama, Mexico, Taiwan, and unknown really brought down this week’s total.

In Brazil, the Safrinha harvest is ongoing and about 20 percent complete which is slightly ahead of average. Yields have been variable. Most estimate have the Brazilian corn crop a little lower than the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s estimate of 116 million metric tons.

SWINE & U, from pg. 11 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, Tahir et al. conducted a feed ingredient analysis survey of common feed ingredients used in North America and calculated the coefficient of variation for several components.

Their results showed that the coefficient of variation 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 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 rel-

atively 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 (Stein and Shurson, 2009).

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 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 is 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.

Wayfinding finding

isual artist and master jingle dress maker Adrienne M. Benjamin and the city of Little Falls have teamed up to create a series of artistic and historical displays which celebrate the connection between Native Americans and European settlers in the Little Falls area.

Benjamin is an enrolled member of the Mille Lacs band of Ojibwe, from the Chiminising community some miles north of Little Falls in central Minnesota.

The project is called the Wayfinding Project and the displays can be found in four Little Falls city parks and one Morrison County park. Three of the displays are located in riverside parks and emphasize Little Falls’ strong connection to the Mississippi River.

It was an adventure locating some of the parks. We recommend using a printed city map, or an app located on the city’s website. Riverside Park, at 1st St. NE, is a tiny pocket park just big enough for the three panel display and a bench to watch the river, 30 feet below, flow by. It wasn’t far from here that the Ojibwe and Dakota people signed the Treaty of 1837 which ceded millions of acres of land to the United States. The Native Americans retained the right to hunt, fish and gather on the ceded land, one of the display panels tells visitors.

Mill Park, at 5th Ave. SW, and on the other side of the river, is easier to find. It has a picnic shelter and tables, but no amenities. The view of the river gives a nice perspective of the Burlington Northern bridge and the far shore. You are just downstream of the Minnesota Power hydro-electric dam and what is one of Minnesota’s largest waterfalls.

Le Bourget park is a large park on the west side of the river — easily seen from the bridge crossing the river. The park is on Paul Larson Memorial Drive; and, because of the railroad tracks, is best approached from the west immediately after crossing the bridge.

Little Falls and Le Bourget, France (a Parisian suburb) are sister cities and the park’s name celebrates that relationship. Charles Lindberg, of aviation fame and a Little Falls native, landed his airplane, the Spirit of St. Louis, at Le Bourget airport in 1927. The Wayfinding displays are at the south end of the park.

There is another display at Pine Grove Park on Broadway Ave. on the east side of town. The parks’ massive red pines are worth a visit.

A fifth display is planned for Belle Prairie County Park, on the river north of town.

More information can be had by contacting the Little Falls’ visitors bureau at (320) 616-4959. v
