KMOT Ag Expo 2014
Ag Expo expands offerings More seminars and exhibits; hotel room outlook improves n
By Jonathan Knutson
Agweek Staff Writer
The Upper Midwest’s largest indoor agricultural show will offer more seminars and exhibits this year. Perhaps more important, at least to out-of-town visitors who plan overnight stays, the show’s host city offers more motel rooms. The annual KMOT Ag Expo is set for Jan. 29 to 31 at the State Fair Center on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds in Minot. More than 350 exhibitors and an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people will attend. Doors open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. all three days. Admission and parking are free. In recent years, motel rooms often were scarce in Minot, which has about 44,000 residents and is northwest North Dakota’s largest city. Minot’s proximity to the state’s booming oil patch boosted demand for hotel rooms, as did construction crews repairing damage from severe flooding in 2011. A year ago, the occupancy rate in Minot hotels was around 90 percent. It’s about 70 percent now, says Wendy Howe, executive director of Visit Minot, formerly known as the Minot Convention and Visitors Bureau. A spate of new construction boosted the number of hotel rooms in Minot from about 2,100 in late 2011 to about 3,100 in late 2013, she says. On the demand side, most of the construction crews have finished their recovery work and moved on, while many of the people with ties to the oil patch switched from hotel rooms to other accommodations, she says. Lower occupancy means more choice in location and amenities, too, she says. “There are just a lot more options,” she says. Even with the lower occupancy rates, overnight visitors should consider reserving motel rooms in advance, Howe says. The organization’s web site, www.visitminot.org, has more information on hotel availability.
Exhibit space, seminars
The Ag Expo has enhanced its line-up of seminars this year, says Gregg Schae-
fer, general manager. All three days offer a series of onehour sessions in the seminar room. On Wednesday, Jan. 29, seminars begin at 10 a.m., with the day’s final one starting at 3 p.m. On Thursday, Jan. 30, sessions begin at 9 a.m., with the day’s final one starting at 3 p.m. On Friday, Jan. 31, seminars begin at 10 a.m., with the day’s final one starting at 2 p.m. Topics include the weather outlook, precision agriculture, crop insurance, and crop protection products. The Ag Expo will have 55 to 60 more exhibit booths than it’s had in the past, Schaefer says. “We don’t have any new buildings. But we’ve shifted around some booth configurations, and we’re able to get more booths into buildings,” he says. Reconfiguring exhibit space also helps the Ag Expo accommodate the ever-increasing size of farm equipment, Schaefer says.
Living Ag Classroom
The popular Living Ag Classroom returns again this year, Schaefer says. The classroom helps students, parents and teachers learn more about the production and distribution of our food. It also provides information on many byproducts of crops and animals raised in North Dakota. More than 14,000 fourth-graders, teachers and parents have toured the classroom through the years. This year at the Ag Expo, the classroom will be on the upper mezzanine and open to the public with sessions at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Jan. 29 and 30.
Outlook still positive
Agriculturalists in northwest North Dakota remain positive despite lower prices for most crops raised in the area, Schaefer says. The Ag Expo comes long enough after harvest that farmers generally have determined their equipment needs for 2014. People who attend the show will be looking to update their equipment accordingly, he says. Agriculture is always changing, and products and services exhibited at the Ag Expo keep changing, too, Schaefer says. “There’s always something new. A lot of the time I don’t even know what’s new until the exhibits are set up,” he says. More information: www.kmot.com/ story/22439634/kmot-ag-expo.

KMOT Ag Expo 2014 Corn draws more interest Crop takes on bigger role at KMOT Ag Expo and in northwest ND n
By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer
When Duane Poynter began attending the KMOT Ag Expo in Minot, N.D., three decades ago, growing corn for grain wasn’t a realistic option in northwest North Dakota. Corn for silage, yes, but not corn for grain. Now, the latter is increasingly important for northwest North Dakota farmers — and for Poynter’s Ag Supply in Sawyer, N.D., 10 miles from Minot.
“A lot of guys have gotten into it. It’s a good, viable rotational crop,” he says. Poynter’s company, which handles fertilizer, chemical, seed and equipment, will be among the exhibitors at this year’s KMOT Ag Expo Jan. 29 through 31 at the State Fair Center on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds. More than 350 exhibitors and an estimated 30,000 to 40,000 people will attend. Ron Solberg, North Dakota sales manager for Geringhoff, a harvest equipment company known for its corn harvesting attachments, also will be among the exhibitors at Ag Expo. Based in Minot, Solberg has attended the show for many years. Even a decade ago, northwest North Dakota farmers who attended the Ag Expo had little interest in growing corn for grain. Some attendees would see
corn equipment at the show and say, “We don’t ever want that on our farm,” Solberg says. But corn has pushed north and west, both in North Dakota and southern Canada, he says. Typically, farmers there start by planting relatively small amounts of corn and expand acreage of it over time, he says. Numbers from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, illustrate corn’s rising prominence. Corn production has grown steadily in Ward County, in which Minot is located, and the rest of northwest North Dakota. Ward County farmers harvested 26,300 acres of corn for grain in 2012, nearly triple the 9,300 acres in 2008, according to NASS.
County numbers for 2013 corn production aren’t available. Northwest North Dakota farmers overall harvested 41,200 acres of corn for grain in 2012, nearly triple the 15,000 acres in 2008.
Interesting projections Other numbers, these from the North Dakota State University Extension Projected 2014 Crop Budget, have interesting implications for corn production this year. NDSU projects that corn will earn an estimated $17.85 this year in northwest North Dakota, compared with an estimated loss of $12.25 per acre this year in southeast North Dakota, an area where the climate is well-suited to corn and where the crop has been popular EXPO: See Page 4

Exhibitor thoughts
Continued from Page 3 for years. To be sure, corn isn’t expected to yield as well in northwest North Dakota; 83 bushels per acre there, compared with 117 bushels per acre in southeast North Dakota. But sharply lower seed costs in northwest North Dakota ($52 per acre, compared with $108.90 in southeast North Dakota) help offset the extra revenue from the additional bushels. Because soil and climate limit their yield potential, northwest North Dakota farmers generally plant less seed and use less high-tech seed than their counterparts in the southeast corner of the state, says Andy Swenson, the NDSU farm management specialist who prepared the budget projections. Lower land costs in northwest North Dakota ($36.80 per acre there, compared with $117 per acre in the southeast corner of the state) also help to explain the difference in projected per-acre profits in the two areas.

PULL TYPE GRADERS
When Solberg was interviewed for this Agweek article, his company was finalizing its KMOT exhibits. But Geringhoff hopes to exhibit a prototype corn head and a crop sweeper designed for hard-to-harvest corn. Poynter thinks northwest North Dakota farmers might plant a little less corn than a year ago, in part because of sharply lower corn prices. “I think corn acres will be down just a tinch from a year ago,” he says. Soybean prices have held up relatively well, which could boost planted acres of that crop in northwest North Dakota, he says. “Soybean sales definitely are up from a year ago,” he says. Fertilizing corn properly and getting a new crop off to a strong start is essential, Poynter says. After 30 years of attending the KMOT AG Expo, he remains a big believer in it. “It’s the top ag show in the Midwest in the winter, I think. It’s fantastic,” he says.

KMOT Ag Expo 2014
Presenters at KMOT will address latest problems
Grain storage issues likely a show topic
n
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
FARGO, N.D. — The winter of 2013 and 2014 will likely be remembered for an Oct. 4 blizzard and possibly for grain storage problems. Ken Hellevang, a North Dakota State University Extension Service agricultural engineer who specializes in grain storage issues, says early snowstorms last fall and winter mean farmers will struggle with high-moisture grain this spring. “There was a lot of sunflower and corn that went into storage at moisture contents that are very high to moderately high,” Hellevang says. Anticipating future challenges, some farmers will probably look for equipment products to help with the problem at the the KMOT Ag Expo in Minot, N.D., Jan. 29 to 31. “There is a lot of grain in storage on the western frontier of corn, from Bismarck to Minot, where we had a lot of wet corn and sunflower that went into storage,” Hellevang says. He acknowledges that when farmers are installing larger grain bins, they’re incorporating electronic technology — cables with temperature sensors and fan controllers, into the design. Farmers should check to ensure that grain temperatures are 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit in this part of the state. Most farmers have already attempted to dry the grain before the spring warm-up, Hellevang says. “One farmer told me that whenever it’s above zero, he’s drying corn and when it’s below-zero he doesn’t,” Hellevang says. He advises farmers not to operate fans during rain, fog or snow to minimize blowing moisture into the bins. He advises opening or unlatching the fill or access cover during fan operating to serve as a pressure relief valve. Cover aeration fans when they are not operating to prevent pests and moisture from entering the bin and warm wind from heating the grain.
Mikkel Pates, Agweek
G Grain placed in storage bins too wet in 2013 may become a problem in 2014, both from mildew and from insect damage.
Crop protectants Paul Drache, regional manager for Central Life Sciences, based in Greeley, Colo., will exhibit at the KMOT show. Drache says farmers now don’t need a license to apply his insect protectants in stored grain because they are safe. Two of CLS’s products are important for Drache the market — Diacon, a
protectant with an 18-month residual protection, and Centynal, an adulticide with 100-day residual. Diacon insect growth regulator comes either dry or as a liquid. In the dry form, it’s applied 10 pounds per 1,000 bushels, spread evenly through a grain mass. “You use a simple scoop,” Drache says, likening the texture to cornmeal. The liquid is 4 ounces mixed with 5 gallons of water per 1,000 bushels. “Most farmers today have fourwheelers with sprayers,” Drache says. “That spray system technically is
enough equipment that they would need to spray it on. You just have to calibrate it.” Drache says farmers or warehousemen don’t look at predictive numbers to determine whether to treat, but primarily look at what’s there. “If they see any samples coming in with any bugs in it, they should immediately start looking,” Drache says. “We had some facilities in Kansas this last year that had stored the grain since 2011. That just goes to prove the point that the residual of Diacon holds through there.”

KMOT Ag Expo 2014 Looking up, ahead
Northwest ND’s SunPrairie in new Minot home n
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
MINOT, N.D. — CHS SunPrairie Grain is operating in a new headquarters here, ready to step into a 2014 crop year it hopes will be more productive than the moisture-reduced 2013 crop year. Brad Haugeberg, the company’s general manager, says the co-op and its Dakota Agronomy Partners affiliate will be in neighboring booths at this year’s KMOT Ag Show in Minot. Marketing, credit and finance and animal nutrition specialists will be on hand at the show. Based on 2012 plantings, production and markets, SunPrairie reported
record-high earnings of $8.1 million for the fiscal year ending Aug. 31. Haugeberg expects earnings to go down for fiscal year 2014, based on the 2013 crop. He says the average for the previous five years was about $6 million. The 2011 crop year was wet and much of the region went unplanted. The 2012 crop year was “reasonable” but the 2013 crop year was worse than 2011 for unplanted acres — “at best 50 percent planted,” Haugeberg says. “Mother Nature hasn’t helped us out here,” he says. “We seem to be ‘ground zero’ for moisture.” He says much of his trade area received excess moisture — some with 33 inches of precipitation compared with an average of 17 inches, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. “Now we’re concerned going into 2014. We know there’s going to be unplanted acres because we were wet last fall and we have a snow pack.”

Mikkel Pates, Agweek
G The flagship facilities of SunPrairie Grain, based in Minot, N.D., have been mostly refurbished, but the offices have been moved to higher ground after the flood of the summer of 2011.
Turning a tragedy into a positive SunPrairie is accustomed to dealing with adversity. On Nov. 15, the company moved into its headquarters at 1800 13th St. Southeast, just off the Highway 2 bypass in Minot. It is a move that is at least partly paid for by insurance proceeds from the flood in July 2011, which damaged the company’s older, downtown facility where main offices had been. “We have to somehow take a tragedy and turn it into a positive,” Haugeberg says. “Shame on us if we don’t.” SunPrairie’s two other facilities were damaged but have been restored. “This primarily brings together our grain marketing, accounting and department heads,” Haugeberg says, of the offices. “There are still sales and operational people where the action is at. This is an opportunity to pull all of our people from our various departments together, so there’s better collaboration — a better one-stop shop for our customers than there’s ever been.” Also in the location is the headquarters for Dakota Agronomy Partners, a
company formed in 1999 that includes a group of cooperatives including SunPrairie Grain. Today, the organization is owned as a joint venture by Enerbase of Minot, SunPrairie and Souris River Coop.
Railroad woes Besides wet conditions, transporting grain is also a cause for concern. “This whole industry is reeling from the railroad’s inability to serve us,” Haugeberg says. As of early January, he says his coop is hundreds of cars late, with some orders as far back as October. “It’s going to be a tough year for many in this industry, whether they had a crop or not,” he says. But weather is a dominating topic. “We don’t need any more snow to speak of,” Haugeberg says. “If we got an early season, that would be good. It’s going to take a lot of sun and some warm days to dry out this ground. We don’t need anything like last year, when we didn’t get into the fields ‘til the end of May. We need to get out there in April, scratching around and drying things out.”

KMOT Ag Expo 2014
Visual, data both needed By Kris Ringwall Catching fish does not always require the use of live bait. In fact, the use of lures of many types and sizes has led to the many storefronts filled with fishing gear. If one is keen on enjoying fly fishing, the artificial fly would more than likely be named and cherished. What do bull selection and fishing have in common? Not much. But, to make the point, fishermen have developed many ways to catch fish. They utilize things, such as chicken feathers, that really have nothing to do with fish. For beef producers fishing for bulls, welcome to the bull-buying season. The KMOT Ag Expo, slated for Jan. 29 to 31 in Minot, N.D., has added a livestock component this year. For bull buying, there still seems to be a strong desire or need to physically see the live bull, which is not a bad thing. But if the desire to visualize the bull takes one away from the need to evaluate the data regarding the bull, then one
should ponder some more. The tools for buying bulls are proven and certainly work. The genetic trend lines and the emergence of well-founded and well-researched bull lines that have proven performance are real. But within the industry, there still is this willingness to purchase bulls that do not have the data to support their performance. The pondering on bulls comes more in the form of a question than perhaps a direct statement. Why would a producer who is striving for calves that grade “choice” purchase bulls with known expected progeny differences (EPDs) for marbling that are at the lower end of the breed? Why would a producer want to keep heifers back as replacements and have adequate feed to support milk, then purchase bulls with known EPDs for milk that are at the lower end of the breed? Why would a producer who wants to improve herd weaning weights continually purchase bulls that are below breed average in weaning weight EPD values? In a marbling conversation the other
Welcome to the bull-buying season n
day with others, we were discussing a bull that certainly had the desired phenotype and growth genetics that would be very acceptable in anyone’s herd. However, the bull is a low-marbling bull. This bull’s EPDs did not support or have evidence that it would contribute in a positive manner to the herd’s improvement or even the breed’s status quo. But the desire remained to use the bull. Bull purchases are a personal choice. That always must and will be true. But if the data suggests that the bull does not have the EPD values that support the use of the bull for the genetically desired goal, the goal will not be met. The point is that EPDs are the best tool beef producers have to gauge the underlying genetics. The underlying genetics are totally a function of the DNA embedded in the bull’s cells. There is no magic to it. The bull will pass on only the DNA that is present. When selecting bulls, review the data first and make a list of those bulls that have the EPDs of the desired genetics.
After that, go look at those bulls. But more and more bull sales are made sight unseen with an excellent guarantee that the buyer will be satisfied. How do bull breeders make this claim? It’s easy. They stack the genetics in every bull they sell with proven sires. The package is genetically loaded, so there should be little surprise with the delivered package. The future of the cattle industry rests with the ability to engage a well-informed and somewhat demanding consumer. Placing any cattle within the market chain that don’t meet those expectation runs the risk of turning a customer away. There is no need to do that in today’s world. Use the full EPD tackle box to select bulls that will sire calves that are desirable through the whole marketing chain.

LORRICH INDUSTRIES, INC. 001022997r1
The never spill spout is a classic Farmer’s invention. John and Angelika Gehrer have a grain farm. John designed the Never Spill Spout in 2003 when he realized there was nothing on the market that met his needs. The Never Spill Spout eliminates the need for individual bin fill indicators. From a safety perspective, farmers using the Never Spill Spout will never have to climb high bin ladders to visually check grain levels, no more spilling grain or plugging augers. They are in their tenth year of manufacturing the Spout with more than 4,000 satisfied customers in Canada, the United States and New Zealand. The Never Spill Spout is installed in 20 minutes. A new “no snag” model was introduced in June 2012. They are available for 10-, 13- and 16-inch augers. The spout is longer and comes with flex spouts already. The Never Spill Spout is placed about 2 to 4 feet into the grain bin from the top. Once the grain reaches the bottom of the spout, the grain pushes an enclosed diaphragm sensor switch and an alarm alerts the operator that the bin is full. Once the alarm is on, continued filling results in the grain flowing out the side of the Never Spill Spout, preventing plugging of the auger and giving the operator time to shut down the auger. Since 2013, the spout comes with two alarms. It is louder and adds reliability. The Never Spill Spout comes with a 12 volt halogen night light placed at the discharge end of the auger. This light is very convenient for night operation when moving the auger to a different bin; it also serves as a check to ensure that the system is energized. The system is 12 volt, and plugs into the standard seven-prong outlet of tractors. For older tractors without the outlet, they can supply the sevenprong receptacle to be permanently installed on the tractor. This system insures that no additional batteries have to be bought and charged and maintained. Although they are distributing

Scott’s Manufacturing LLC Stop by Scott’s Manufacturing LLC to check out the S3 NH3 tank winch and hitch system that was designed for easy installation, safety, long life and enough power to pull even the biggest anhydrous tanks. Also look at the express hitch. Listening to farmer’s feedback, we have designed a product that will allow you to quickly and safely attach trailers, wagons, tanks or anything else you pull with your pickup. See us at booth E46 or visit www.scottsmfg.com.
With machines 20 to 100 feet wide, family-owned SeedMaster is the leader in precision air drill and tank metering technology. It all started when SeedMaster president Norbert Beaujot, P.Eng. — a farmer himself — pioneered the first active-hydraulic, terrain-following, individual row opener. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, other manufacturers mimic our opener design — but none achieve the same superior depth control, or the seed and fertilizer separation of our TruBand angled seed carbide and Extended-Wear fertilizer knives. We are now revolutionizing tank and metering technology with: Auto Calibration and Real-Time Product Weighing ■ Weigh scales display product weights in-cab as you seed, and on-
tank as you fill. ■ Avoid applying wrong rates; recalibrate on the fly or let Auto Calibration do it for you with exceptional accuracy. UltraPro Canola Meter ■ Near-singulation accuracy; eliminates plant clusters and large gaps for uniform growth. ■ Lets many farmers reduce seeding rates and achieve optimum yields for big savings. Auto Zone Command and FLIP (Full Last Implement Pass) ■ Eliminates overlap — often saving 5 to 15 percent on inputs. ■ Instantly halts product flow in up to 10 zones. ■ FLIP prevents seedbed disturbance by allowing you to seed overlap areas and headlands last. ■ Standard on all tanks. Simple, trouble-free — no lifting openers. Nova Smart Cart ■ The most accurate bulk metering with Hi-Flow Pulse Manifold and advanced dual air streams that each handle up to 350 pounds per acre on large
drills with no plugging. ■ Fits any farm with 520- to 820bushel capacity or up to 6,000 imperial gallons. Contact SeedMaster today and experience the SeedMaster advantage on your farm: www.seedmaster.ca.
