Market forecast: Cloudy with a chance of hardheadedness A veteran commodity trader once urged rout that had lashed corn, soybeans, soyme to remember that “People who say bean oil, and wheat markets lower since the market is wrong are usually on the mid-June. After all, there’s a global famwrong side of the market.” ine on tap as well as reduced 2022 U.S. corn and soybean acres, right? That insight, he added, had been learned the hard way, “...as in hardheadYes, but growing recession fears and ed.” already-high futures prices quickly pushed aside the reports’ bullish news: 4 His advice came to mind as the futures percent fewer corn acres this year and market carried its June swoon into the FARM & FOOD FILE 2.6 million less soybean acres than what U.S. Department of Agriculture’s dangerUSDA predicted in March.

Likewise, November soybean would slow (or, better yet, stop) the futures market futures cracked from a contract high of $15.82 on June 9 to $13.16 on July 5, a 17 percent drop in under a month.

On May 17, November hard red winter wheat futures closed at $12.77 per bushel. By July 5, November futures were 37 percent lower at $8.04 per bushel.

Production report, to be released Aug. 12 this year. It’s hard to see how any “newly collected data” won’t “justify” changes in August. USDA’s June estimates show North Dakota’s 2022 planted corn acres 1.1 million less than 2021 and the state’s planted soybean acres also lower: 5.9 million this year compared to 7.25 million in 2021. Expect both acreages to grow. Likewise, USDA’s June acreage report noted that tillable acres “left to be planted” nationwide was a stunning 4 million for corn and 15.8 million for soybeans. For comparison, both are well over more typical unplanted acres found in June reports like those from 2021: 2.2 million for corn and 9.8 million for beans. Those strikingly large, 2022 unplanted numbers go a long way to explain both the rise in last spring’s corn and soybean futures (“Wow, where did those acres go?”) and the June swoon: Uh oh, they didn’t go anywhere; they’re still hanging over the 2022 market. None of these numbers hold much comfort for market bulls already winded after a late winter drought, a soggy planting season, an export-market disrupting war, the highest inflation in nearly a half century, a too-strong dollar, and now widespread worry over an upcoming economic recession. But they do explain why June was a bummer and July started out by making June look like an underachiever. And next comes August and its updated numbers. Which only proves that markets are like the weather: If you don’t like ‘em, wait … they’ll change. People, however, as my trader friend suggested, often don’t.

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. This article was submitted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. v

Midsummer garden checklist ALEXANDRIA, Minn. — 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,
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.

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. 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. 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. This article was submitted by Kaitlyn Czeck, University of Minnesota Extension. v
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. This article was submitted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. v
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. Linda G. Tenneson is a University of Minnesota master gardener and tree care advisor. v

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. Talent in the GreenSeam focuses on developing talent and promoting careers in agriculture and food.

Hay crop ‘really good;’ corn up to your chin
Matt Erickson It’s fair time! The Land spoke with Matt Fertile, Minn. Erickson on July 7 as he reported the Polk County fair is in full swing with daughters Catie and July 7 Sidney showing their 4-H cattle. Although the fair
has been a family tradition for the Ericksons, he has seen the number of fair attendees grow over the years. “It’s gotten to be really popular.”
The storm which hit Johnson’s farm on June 20 resulted in damaged grain bin roofs, but the crops seemed to have fared just fine. “In the last five days, even some of the toughest fields look good.”
Taking a break from all the fair fun, Erickson likes what he sees in the fields. “I got all the sorghum and millet planted.” He also started cutting his first-crop hay last week. “It was a really good crop.”
“The corn is past my chin,” Johnson said. Thankfully, the growth of corn has brought some relief. “It’s pretty marvelous what this crop can do. Optimism on the corn is sky-high. The farm received half an inch to one and a half inches of rain on July 4 weekend.
2022
“Corn looks really good.” It’s anywhere from knee-high to waist-high. The crop has grown quickly, which is a relief to Erickson as he planted two weeks later than usual. “It’s pretty miraculous.” Likewise, the soybeans are starting to fill the rows and doing just fine. “We just need to keep getting timely rains.” v

The cows are all out to pasture. “The pastures are just tremendous.” The grass is so long that it can be tough to see the calves. But Erickson is happy to see all that grass. On July 4, Erickson vaccinated around 175 calves with help from his son, Emery.

Erickson seeded alfalfa on June 14. Strong winds followed, so he was unsure how the crop would do. So far, though, it’s coming up and looking good.

“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 See ROELOFS, pg. 10
“It’s been annoyingly busy.” The Land Leah Johnson Evansville, Minn. spoke with Leah Johnson on July 7 as she reported that all her soybean fields had been July 7 sprayed.
“The beans have struggled with the timing of rain.” Johnson walked fields last weekend and had difficulty finding flowers in the later planted fields. “We’re going to have fields that are never going to canopy.” That is a problem when it comes to weed control. “We definitely won’t see fantastic yields.” Comparing corn and beans, it’s a tale of two different yield potentials. “The corn looks so good; it makes the beans look less good.” Johnson is closely monitoring the fields for signs of pesky plants. “We can’t let the weeds in.” v “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.” See WINSLOW, pg. 10

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-

extracted soybean meal (47 percent). This is one of the reasons SWINE & U why the DDGS price is less 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 for achieving precision swine nutrition when formulating diets. Using accurate nutritional composition values minimizes the risk of over-feeding or underfeeding 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 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 compaSee SWINE & U, pg. 15

Stocks jumped to 316.2 million pounds, up 17.1 million pounds or 5.7 percent from April but 32.3 million or 9.3 percent below a year ago. Skim milk powder output climbed to 38.7 million pounds, up 3.3 million pounds or 9.3 percent from April, but down 9.8 million or 20.3 percent below a year ago. Year-to-date, skim milk powder was at 180.2 million pounds, down 27.6 percent from 2021. Combined nonfat and skim milk powder output was below a year ago for the sixth month in a row. n The Dairy Products report looked relatively bearish, according to StoneX Dairy Group. “Nonfat dry milk in particular stands out as a bear with stock levels 42 million pounds over forecast. The fact that production leaned heavily towards nonfat dry milk and not skim milk powder also would seem to weigh upon that market.” Cheese looked bullish, adds StoneX. “American cheese production was some 6 million pounds less than forecast as we continue to see very strong mozzarella production. Expect cheese exports to remain strong moving forward given the production levels.” Butter looked a bit bearish with heavier than expected production, according to StoneX, while the whey breakdown appeared bullish. “Stock levels were 6 million pounds under expectations. It looks like demand was very strong which makes sense with slightly lower prices we’ve seen of late.” Dairy product prices entered July weaker. The markets were closed for the Fourth of July holiday and July 5 was not a great reopening. The Global Dairy Trade dropped and most CME prices fell soon after. Demand is weaker than most people expected, explained Matt Gould, editor and analyst with the Dairy and Food Market Analyst newsletter in the July 11 “Dairy Radio Now” broadcast. He also pointed to the Fed raising interest rates, the slowing economy, and the loosening of our tight supply chains. When asked if exports will bail dairy out, Gould said, “That’s the almighty question.”
U.S. dairy prices have moved below the rest of the world, he said. “If you’re an international dairy buyer, you look at the United States and say, their dairy products are on sale.” So, while dairy prices have fallen, Gould says “It will not be a total plunge and we will see a floor put in here — if for no other reason than milk supplies globally remain tight.” Milk supplies also remain constrained in most areas of the United States, he said — especially in the West, where drought is a factor and elevated feed costs; “but this is true globally where we don’t have a wall of milk anywhere,” he concluded. n Speaking of exports, the United States sent 89 million pounds of cheese sailing in May. While down slightly from March and April, volume was up 31 percent from May 2021 — the highest May on record, according to HighGround Dairy. Cheddar exports were up 135.1 percent. Mexico remained the top cheese destination, with volume up 14 percent. Butter totaled 8.9 million pounds, down 8.4 percent. Year-to-date, exports are up 17.7 percent. Nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder exports totaled 177.3 million pounds, down 9.4 percent. It is the sixth consecutive month to be below the previous year, but still the second highest May on record, according to HighGround Dairy. Mexico’s imports were down 2.3 percent. The United States exported 35.9 million pounds of dry whey, down 23.4 percent from a year ago — mainly due to deteriorating demand from China, says HighGround Dairy, down 51 percent. n Meanwhile, troubles remain in the Global Dairy Trade which saw the weighted average drop 4.1 percent this week, following the 1.3 percent decline on June 21. Traders brought 51.7 million pounds of product to market, up from 45.8 million on June 21. The average metric ton price fell to $4,360 U.S., down from $4,600. Butter led the declines, plunging 9.1 percent after gaining 2.4 percent on June 21. Anhydrous milkfat was down See MIELKE, pg. 14

Ukraine had asked Turkey to detain the ship. Ukraine has called upon Turkey to explain. Events in Ukraine will continue to be monitored, but it feels like the grain repercussions have mostly been built in the market. Conab expects a slightly bigger Brazilian corn crop at 115.7 million metric tons based on a better safrinha crop. The USDA is carrying Brazil’s corn crop at 116 mmt.

Weather in the upper Midwest has yet to put a notable dent in available cream. Churning is busy in spite of a lack of employees. There are growing concerns that consumer purse strings are expected to tighten as gas, fuel, and grocery costs rise, says Dairy Market News. Contacts suggest consumers are less likely to buy butter in larger quantities or may look at alternatives. Cream inventories are still available in the West but demand is strong as ice cream and butter makers are running busy schedules. Labor shortages and delayed supply deliveries continues to keep them below capacity. Demand for butter is softening in retail markets as rising prices cause some to switch to alternatives.

United States can’t match Brazil’s soybean price The July WASDE report will be released on July 12 at 11 a.m. The monthly report will incorporate the June 30 acreage and stock numbers. SOYBEANS — Soybeans reacted in the same manner and for the same factors as corn this week. Huge losses early in the week in the palm oil market cast a negative tone on the markets, but then palm oil began to rally from its lowest point since mid-2021. Adding to the rebound in soybeans was the strength in soyoil and crude oil’s recovery to above $100 per barrel. November soybeans held above psychological support at $13.00 per bushel with the low this week at $13.02.5 per bushel. A weak Brazilian real keeps the U.S. uncompetitive as Brazil’s soybean harvest winds down. There was trade chatter that China had canceled five to eight U.S. soybean cargoes for new crop, but there was no confirmation. Soybeans filled the overhead gap established on July 5 with a good rally into the weekend. Net cancellations in the old crop slot of 5.9 million bushels on the weekly export sales report did little to discour-
age buyers. Total old crop commitments are 2.2 billion bushels and remain above the USDA’s export forecast for 2.17 billion bushels. New crop sales were very good at 8.9 million bushels. Total new crop commitments are 504.8 million bushels to stay well ahead of last year’s 345.3 million bushel total. There are fears of slower economic growth in China after more cases of Covid and massive testing were reported. Ideas that further lockdowns in Shanghai will slow any recovery continue to be a concern for demand. The Chinese government is considering allowing local governments to sell $220 billion of bonds and use the proceeds to fund infrastructure projects. Indonesia is considering lowering its palm oil export tax to jump-start its exports. Conab slightly lowered its Brazilian soybean production estimate to 124 mmt from 124.3 mmt last month and compared to the USDA forecast of 126 mmt. Soybean exports were unchanged at 75.2 mmt vs. USDA at 75 mmt. U.S. soybean conditions as of July 3 fell 2 percent to 63 percent good/ excellent; but are expected to show some improvement in the coming week.
ished on a strong note. Soybean prices plunged early in the week on decent weather into oversold conditions from which they recovered nicely. Volatility in money flow will keep traders on their toes. You may expect to see big trading ranges into the July report and beyond. The July WASDE balance sheet may provide continued support as fewer than expected acres are reflected into the numbers and a sharp cut in 202223 ending stocks vs. last month is anticipated. History suggests whichever way November soybeans close the first session after the Fourth of July, they will close in that direction for the month of July. But has this year done much of what is “expected?” For the week, August soybeans managed a 3.5 cent gain to $15.13.25 and November eked out a 1.25 cent increase at $13.96.5 per bushel. Weekly price changes in September wheat for the week ended July 8: Chicago wheat up 45.5 cents to $8.91.5, Kansas City rallied 32.25 cents to $9.45.75, and Minneapolis jumped 43.75 cents to $9.91.75 per bushel. v

U.S. dairy margins improved MIELKE, from pg. 14 restauranteurs reduce hours due to labor shortages and higher input costs. Grade A nonfat dry milk was down 5.5 cents July 5 and the next day fell to $1.74 per pound — the lowest since May 16. It rallied to a July 8 close at $1.7475. This is still down 5.5 cents on the week, but 49.75 cents above a year ago, on 12 sales. Dry whey saw its July 8 finish at 49 cents per pound. This is down a penny, and 1.75 cents below a year ago, with two sales recorded on the week at the CME. n U.S. dairy margins improved over the second half of June as projected feed costs decreased more than milk prices with both markets trending lower, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and Ingredient Hedging LLC. “The corn market in particular has been under extreme pressure with risk premium being removed on improved weather forecasts.” the Margin Watch stated. “USDA released the revised acreage report at the end
of the month along with Quarterly Grain Stocks. Both figures were considered largely neutral relative to expectations. The corn acreage figure was pegged at 89.92 million compared with the average trade estimate of 89.69 million and up 431,000 acres from the March Planting Intentions.” The Margin Watch cited details from the May Milk Production and Cold Storage reports, concluding, “Strong cheese production has kept pressure on the market recently;” and “a combination of high spot butter prices and strong demand both domestically and in the export market have likely led to the stocks drawdown, with cheese manufacturing diverting milk supplies from driers.” In the week ending June 25, 50,900 dairy cows were sent to slaughter, down 3,200 head from the previous week, and 4,900 or 8.8 percent below a year ago.

DDGS can provide considerable feed savings SWINE & U, from pg. 11 rable 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
