Livestock producers on the Northern Plains fared well early this year, thanks to favorable meat prices and weather. But drought, weaker prices and rising expenses are hurting producers now. By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer
I
n a normal year, Philip, S.D., cattle producer Bill Slovek makes several thousand big bales of hay. This summer, he didn’t even hook up his haying equipment. Drought, a late-spring freeze and a summer hailstorm combined to ruin his hay crop. His pastures also were devastated by bad weather, and he’s had to rent pasture in Watertown, S.D., 290 miles away. The cost of buying hay and renting pasture mounts quickly, says 57-year-old Slovek, who’s been
ranching all his life. “This cattle deal is kind of scary right now,” he says. “If we don’t get rain this spring, things could really get bad.” Slovek and other area livestock producers generally entered 2012 with COVER STORY great optimism. Prices were high; hay was plentiful after a good 2011 crop; and the mild winter of 2011 to ’12 lowered feed requirements for animals kept outdoors. LIVESTOCK: See Page 10

Prompt passage of farm bill important
By Tom Dennis
It’s true that the “fiscal cliff” looms, and that action on the farm bill may have to wait until Washington steers away from the edge. As Jennifer Duffy of The Cook Political Report told Forum Communications, “I don’t know how they pass anything that deals with revenue without dealing with the fiscal cliff.” But it’s also true that passing the farm bill would provide a side benefit that other efforts would not. That’s because it would be a huge bipartisan achievement — and getting to “yes” on this issue would boost the odds of both sides agreeing to a budget deal. Plus, passing a farm bill is simply the right thing to do. In the spring, the Senate passed its version of the farm bill by a bipartisan supermajority vote, 64-35. It was a spectacular agreement in a Senate that was split down the middle on almost everything else. Just as impressive was the House Agriculture Committee’s 35-11 vote in support of its

own farm bill. Remember, Republicans control the House, which means Republicans control the House Agriculture Committee, too. So, the committee’s bipartisan supermajority support also counts as an exceptional achievement — and it renders all the more small-minded the House leadership’s refusal to let the bill come to the floor for a vote. Then there’s the fact that on Nov. 13, a coalition of 235 farming, ranching and conservation groups sent a letter to House leaders asking them to pass a farm bill. The groups range from the National Farmers Union to the American Forests Foundation to the Independent Community Bankers of America; as one farm-news source headlined its story, “Nearly all of ag wants farm bill action.” Last but not least, prompt passage is vital because next year brings no guarantees. The congressional coalitions that put together the bills could fall apart. Even more likely, the bills could get hammered in the coming deficit-reduction effort and emerge much reduced. As Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., told The Associated Press, “Time is not on our side. … It’s infinitely better for everyone to get these decisions made now.”
Kevin Cramer, North Dakota’s representative-elect, can and should play a role. Cramer doesn’t take office until January, so he won’t have a vote in the lame-duck Congress that meets between now and then. But he will have influence. As a conservative and a new member of the House Republican caucus, he’ll have the GOP leadership’s ear. And, as the incoming representative from North Dakota — the state with the healthiest economy in America — he’ll have his fellow representatives’ attention in a way freshmen seldom do. He should use this status to call for a farm bill agreement. Conrad, for his part, “said he spent part of Congress’ election recess consulting with Senate and House aides who worked on the legislation,” The AP reported. “Conrad said he has attempted to ‘take some sort of reasonable difference’ between the House and Senate bills, but would not provide details.” If Cramer as well as Rep. Rick Berg, R-N.D., support Conrad’s efforts, that would go a long way toward getting a farm bill passed — and, very possibly, toward averting the fiscal cliff after that.

Congressional gridlock stalls key issues
By Heidi Heitkamp
Almost one year ago, I began my campaign for the U.S. Senate. Since then, I’ve traveled to every corner of North Dakota, talking about the state’s priorities: passing a farm bill, advocating for an energy policy that recognizes the importance of North Dakota’s oil, gas and coal resources, ensuring our veterans can get access to the health care they were promised and getting our budget under control. But most of all, I talked about working to break the partisan gridlock in Washington — because few of North Dakota’s, and the nation’s, priorities will get properly addressed unless members of both parties find ways to work together again. During my time as attorney general in North Dakota, crossing the aisle to get something done wasn’t a luxury, but a way of life. Today, the issues are different, but the need to work with both sides remains. Partisan gridlock in Congress this year was so strong that it claimed the farm bill. Never
mind that the farm bill supports 16 million jobs across the country and that agriculture is one of the few bright spots in the U.S. economy. As the next senator from North Dakota, my No. 1 job is to see a farm bill finally passed and signed into law. Agriculture is king in North Dakota, and a farm bill means our farmers and ranchers will have a stable crop insurance program they can rely on heading into next season. The Senate farm bill, while not perfect, is a bipartisan bill that includes real reform — $23 billion in deficit savings and the elimination of direct payments to farmers. I will work hard to ensure that we get a bill that includes crop insurance provisions that are critical for our farmers. Just as important is an energy policy that recognizes our abundant natural resources. Here again, partisan gridlock has stood in the way. One side wants to focus on coal and oil at the exclusion of all else, while the other side wants to increase sources of wind and solar. Both sides are right. Investing in both fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas and renewables including wind, solar and biofuels will benefit North Dakota. Earlier this year, North Dakota climbed to second
place in the nation in oil production. North Dakota has the potential to lead the nation in wind energy production. Unfortunately, gridlock in Congress means the wind production tax credit is set to expire at the end of the year. Already, family-supporting jobs have been lost in North Dakota as companies grapple with the uncertainty of what comes next without the tax credit. Today, in large part because of increased oil drilling in North Dakota, our dependence on foreign oil has dropped. North Dakota, which has been fracking for years, already has rules to regulate the process of hydraulic fracturing. It’s important that federal one-size-fits-all regulations don’t interfere with a state’s ability to manage an energy process that can differ depending on local geology. Equally important is remembering to honor the promises we made to our veterans — not just on Veterans Day, but every day. In North Dakota, nearly twothirds of our veterans need to drive more than an hour to receive critical care. That’s unacceptable. We must find ways to do better, especially when winter weather makes it all the more difficult for some of our veterans to travel for care. Finally, it’s clear that we can’t
continue on the same path when it comes to the federal budget. Twelve years ago, former President Clinton put us on course to retire the nation’s debt by 2013. But since he left office, the federal government has accumulated a debt of more than $16 trillion. I’m focused on a balanced approach that will allow us to honor the promises we made to seniors who rely on Social Security and Medicare and continue to make investments in education, our infrastructure and technological innovation. That means working with both sides to cut spending, but also asking those who make more than $1 million a year —in North Dakota, that’s no more than 645 taxpayers — to help reduce the deficit. Not long after I launched my campaign, a woman I met told me she understood that candidates run as “Democrats and Republicans,” but that once the election is over, we serve as “Americans.” As part of a new class of lawmakers seeking to break the gridlock in Washington, I can think of no better guidepost. Editor’s Note: Heitkamp, D-N.D., is the senator-elect from North Dakota.

Research shows GMO foods are safe ■
Separating fact from fiction on biotechnology
By Vanessa Kummer
Much is said about biotechnology — GMOs — in our food supply. It’s sometimes hard to tell fact from fiction. The United Soybean Board wants to set the record straight regarding this important technology, which enables us to grow more on less land, using fewer inputs and conserving the soil better than conventional crops.
What is biotechnology? Simply put, biotechnology takes the DNA from one organism and transfers it into another. For as long as humans have been raising crops, we have cross-bred plants to improve them. We’ve done this by taking the pollen from one plant and physically transfer-
ring the genes in the pollen to another plant to make offspring that produce more seed or that can fight off diseases and pests, for example. Pollen contains many genes, though, some good and some bad. So, late in the last century, we identified a way to accomplish gene transfer in the lab. This made it possible to add only the good genes, or fix bad ones already in the plant, to improve its usefulness to farmers and mankind.
Is it safe? Biotech products are safe. To ensure they are safe, the U.S. government has established a rigorous approval process for biotech products that includes the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Moreover, since the first biotech crop hit the market in 1996, about 1 billion acres of U.S. farmland have been planted to biotech crops
and trillions of pounds of U.S. soybeans and corn have been consumed worldwide, all with no credible reports of harm to human health. In addition, these organizations have come out in support of biotech foods: ■ American Medical Association. ■ U.S. National Academy of Science. ■ U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. ■ World Health Organization. ■ International Council for Science. ■ British Medical Association. Why is it important to know about the safety of biotech crops? Some have questioned the safety of biotech crops. That is because there are people, some of whom are even from the academic world, who claim that research has been done that questions biotech’s safety. But it’s important to know that for any research to be credible, it needs to be reviewed by the authors’ peers and replicated in their labs.
No such “peer-reviewed” research has proven GMOs to be unsafe. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true: Peer-reviewed research shows that GMOs are safe. The 69 farmer-directors of United Soybean Board oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff. Editor’s Note: Kummer is chair of the United Soybean Board and a soybean farmer from Colfax, N.D.

Hedging words and ag subsidies ■
T
An ag columnist offers an explanation and asks a question
oday’s column comes in two unrelated parts. The first involves an explanation, the second a question. Here’s the first part: Agriculture on the Northern Plains is volatile and varied. What’s true for one producer may not be true for a farmer in the next county or township. Conditions can vary greatly even from field to field. That’s particularly true this year. The drought hit some producers far harder than others. Crop yields varied from tremendous to terrible; pasture conditions ranged from average to awful. In a year like this, one-size-fits-all statements are risky, if not downright silly. That’s where hedging words come in. Usually. Typically. Generally. Primarily. Normally. Overall. They’re all words used by journalists and others to hedge a statement, to avoid stating something so strongly that it becomes untrue. A quick example: To say that Joe Smith harvests his wheat in August is true nine out of 10 years. But in the 10th year, when weather conditions are freakish, he might harvest in July or September. So, to hedge, I’ll write that Joe Smith “normally” harvests his wheat in August. Hedging words should be avoided whenever possible. Too many of them make a sentence, or a news article, as insipid as a glass of lukewarm, watered-down lemonade. Too many of them indicate the writer hasn’t done enough research. But sometimes hedging words are needed to make a statement, or a news article, both fair and accurate. Without them, a news article can be flat-out wrong. Even careful readers can miss a hedging word. If you think a news article overstated or misstated something, look back to see if you overlooked a “normally” or “generally.” I’ve used a lot of hedging words in the past year. Given growing conditions that were even more varied than usual, I’ve needed to. All of us involved in area agriculture have needed to. In a perfect world I’d be able to write, “Every farmer across the region harvested tremendous crops, all of which were sold at record-high prices.” But in the varied, imperfect world of Northern Plains’ agriculture, hedging words are a necessary evil. Usually.
Here’s my question
A few years ago, a person outside agriculture asked me how farmers justify the federal subsidies they receive. I tried to wiggle out of answering; after all, I’m a journalist, not a farmer. But the person kept pressing and finally I gave in. My answer (minus some “um”s and “ah”s) went something like this: “I think most farmers would say U.S. agriculture provides a safe, affordable supply of food. I think most would say that subsidies create an economic safety net that protects the food supply.” If you’re involved in area agriculture, you’ve almost certainly been asked by people outside ag how you justify federal subsidies. I’m genuinely curious: How did you answer? Drop me a line and let me know. With the fate of the farm bill up in the air — and the strong possibility of major cuts in federal ag spending — the answer is more important than ever.
LATEST NEWS Alberta plant shipping beef for first time since E. coli closure
■ EDMONTON, Alberta – The plant at the center of an ex-
tensive beef recall has resumed shipping products for the first time since an E. coli outbreak forced its closure in September. The union representing workers at XL Foods Inc. in Brooks, Alberta, says the shipments include a full range of products, including ground beef and steaks. “They are shipping product to retailers,” says Doug O’Halloran, of the United Food and Commercial Workers union. “The people they were supplying before, I think they are loyal, their customers are going to come back. That is a good sign.” The union says the beef has been packaged under the banner of JBS, which took over management of the plant from XL Foods last month. He says employees at the plant are upbeat about the shipments and hopeful about the plant’s future. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says it will ask U.S. officials for permission to export beef from the plant to the U.S. Last month, the CFIA gave the plant permission to resume slaughtering cattle after being shut down for more than a month. On Nov. 4, the agency discovered new cleanliness problems at the plant and ordered corrective action. O’Halloran says after all the testing and scrutiny in the past weeks, consumers shouldn’t worry about the safety of beef from the plant.
Judge in beef products lawsuit recuses himself
■ SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – A federal judge overseeing a $1.2
billion defamation lawsuit filed by a South Dakota beef processing company against ABC News has recused himself from the case. Judge Lawrence L. Piersol will be replaced by Chief Judge Karen Schreier. Dakota Dunes, S.D.-based Beef Products Inc. sued ABC News Inc. in September for defamation over its coverage of a meat product called lean, finely textured beef that critics dub “pink slime.” The meat processor claims the network damaged the company by misleading consumers into believing the product is unhealthy and unsafe. It’s seeking $1.2 billion in damages.
SD beef jerky plant to expand; 75 new jobs possible
■ ALPENA, S.D. – A newly announced package of funding for a $9.1 million Alpena, S.D., wastewater treatment project will support an expansion at a beef jerky plant that could eventually bring 75 new full-time jobs to the small town. The South Dakota Governor’s Office of Economic Development has announced that the town of Alpena will receive a $515,000 Community Development Block Grant to make improvements to its wastewater treatment plant. Along with the CDBG grant, the town of Alpena will receive a Department of Energy and Natural Resources low-interest federal loan for approximately $1.5 million. The Alpena wastewater treatment facility has been operating at capacity and is in need of upgrades to accommodate any future growth for the greater Alpena area. The increased capacity of the upgraded wastewater system also will allow for the expansion of Link Snacks Inc. (LSI), makers of Jack Link’s Beef Jerky, the largest employer in Jerauld County. LSI will invest $7.1 million in costs associated with improvements to the pre-treatment facility. Total cost estimates for the entire wastewater treatment project are estimated at $9.1 million. Simultaneously, and in addition to the wastewater treatment facility upgrade, LSI is undergoing an expansion project at its Alpena-based production facility. The overall expansion is slated to create approximately 57 projectbased pre-development and construction jobs. This expansion will allow LSI to create 75 new full-time jobs in its production facility by the end of 2017. Moreover, the expansion will preserve the approximately 800 existing fulltime jobs currently at the LSI facility.

ND officials ask public to be on the lookout for feral swine
■ BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota animal health and wildlife officials are urging anyone who observes feral swine (wild pigs) or suspects their presence to report the animals immediately. “We are asking farmers, ranchers, hunters, hikers, campers and others to report any sightings of feral swine,” says Susan Keller, the state veterinarian. “Feral swine threaten domestic pigs and other livestock because they can carry diseases such as brucellosis, tuberculosis, pseudorabies and swine fever. They can also destroy crops and property.” Sightings of feral swine should be reported to the state veterinarian’s office at 701328-2655 or the North Dakota Game and Fish Department at 701-328-6300. Keller says wild pigs have occasionally been reported in the state in the past and have recently been reported in neighboring states. “Aside from their potential to transmit diseases, their rooting and wallowing behaviors lead to soil erosion and degradation of water quality,” says Jeb Williams, NDG&F assistant chief of wildlife. “They compete with native wildlife species for food, destroy wildlife habitat, reduce species diversity, and are effective predators of ground nesting birds and small and young mammals.” Keller says it is illegal to possess live feral swine and to hunt or trap the animals. Landowners can destroy wild pigs threatening their property, but must immediately report the animals to the state veterinarian’s office. The law also requires landowners to follow instructions regarding the handling, preservation and disposal of the carcasses.

Numerous ag-related organizations in the region are asking the lame-duck Congress to retain a $5 million exemption for people paying estate taxes, and the 35 percent top rate for those taxes, as well as a 15 percent top rate for capital gains taxes. Without congressional action, the estate tax exemption reverts to $1 million per person and the top taxation rate would increase to 55 percent. The change in the exemption level had been part of the expiring Bush tax cuts in the Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010. These are “vital to America’s family farms,” say officials of the Minnesota Farm Bureau. Estate taxes destroy family-owned businesses when the tax forces surviving family members to sell land, buildings or equipment to generate enough money to pay the tax, the organization says. “Individuals, family partnerships or family corporations own 98 percent of U.S. farms.” It is a small piece of the so-called “fiscal cliff” negotiations in Congress before Jan. 1, says Amber Hanson, assistant policy director for the Minnesota Farm Bureau. Chris Radatz, the organization’s public policy team director, says the recent report of land values at $10,000 an acre in the Drayton, N.D., area indicates that more farmers every day are involved in the limits. “You didn’t think you were going to hit that range, and — boom — you are,” Radatz says. The American Farm Bureau Federation estimated the average Minnesota farmer would be affected by the lower exemption at 247 acres. But the number of acres would be lower in the southern part of the state where values are higher, Hanson notes. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. John Thune, RS.D., says 71 percent of South Dakota farms would exceed the $1 million exemption rate, equated to 431 acres. “Since many family farm and ranch assets consist of land, livestock, equipment and small cash reserves, this punitive tax leaves the next genera-
tion with little choice but to sell family holdings to pay the death tax,” Thune says. Last March, Thune introduced the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act, a perennial effort to repeal both the federal “death tax” and the “generation-skipping transfer tax.”
No reinvestments In addition, the existing top rate for capital gains is 15 percent. If allowed to expire without Congressional action by the end of 2012, the rate would increase to 20 percent in 2013. “Farming requires large investments in land, buildings and equipment,” Thune says. Any money paid to the government can’t be reinvested in the farm and community. Thune describes the estate tax as a double-taxation — “taxes already paid before” now are being taxed again. He says there is a question whether it actually adds revenue. Farmers and others who have to pay then don’t have the capital to generate new business, which means less income tax, for example, he says. Thune acknowledges that he is concentrated on the estate tax level reduction in the short-term. But there is still a focus on repeal — an idea he brought with him from his House of Representatives service. He carried it into the Senate where it was championed by Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., who is retiring. Thune says he’ll probably inherit the issue, which has been proposed but hasn’t come up for a vote because the Senate hasn’t passed a formal budget for three years. A high tax rate and low exemptions will mean some farms won’t be viable because part of the assets must be sold to pay the estate tax bill. Hanson says that while the organization would prefer Thune’s elimination of the estate tax, the political reality and budget pressures don’t bode well for that, so the organization is focusing on changing the estate tax exemption levels and rates. “The high rate and low exemption might affect millionaires in the general economy, but it also hits family farms who are in that category usually because they are ‘land-rich’ but find themselves ‘cash-poor,” Hanson says. The organization calculates that farmers are more likely to pay capital gains taxes than the rest of the population at large. Forty percent of all farmer-ranchers report “some capital gains,” which is nearly double the case for most taxpayers.

COVER STORY
LIVESTOCK Continued from Page 1
But the optimism ended abruptly after three nasty jolts: ■ The drought robbed ranchers across the region of hay and pasture. That forced them to buy hay and rent pasture, pushing up expenses. The price of hay alone has doubled from a year ago. ■ The price of corn, a key feed for most livestock raised in the region, shot higher, too, because of drought in key corn-producing states. Livestock producers expecting to pay $4 to $5 per bushel for corn found themselves paying $6 to $8 per bushel. The rising cost of expenses such as fuel also requires producers to spend more to bring in feed or transport animals to market, says Charlotte Meier, state executive of the North Dakota Pork Council. ■ The price that producers receive for their animals has dropped this year. Hurt most are feeder lamb prices, which are down by half or more. Despite the decline, the prices that many livestock producers are receiving remain high by historical standards. Trouble is, expenses are so steep that some producers will lose money this year. Sheep producers “aren’t even remotely close to breaking even,” given the combination of lower prices and higher expenses, says Dave Hinnaland, a Circle, Mont., sheep producer and a past president of the Montana Wool Growers Association. There’s one silver lining to area livestock producers’ woes: Most, though by no means all, producers enjoyed good profits in 2010 or 2011, or both. That provides a little financial cushion to offset the current tough times. On the other hand, livestock producers don’t receive nearly as much protection as grain farmers under the federal safety net, says Rodney Strand, Farm Service Agency executive director in southeast South Dakota’s Turner County. “They keep going out of pride,” Strand says of hard-hit livestock producers.
Conditions vary in region As is always the case with Northern Plains’ agriculture, conditions vary greatly across the region. Much of southern South Dakota and southern Montana were hit especially hard by drought; other parts of the area fared a little better.

For instance, parts of northern Montana enjoyed average to good hay crops this year, Hinnaland says. In contrast, parts of Minnesota were hit with record summer flooding that wrecked Slovek pastures and hayland, says Dale Lueck, an Aitkin, Minn., “We went cattle profrom one ducer. He’s also a extreme to spokesman for the Minnesota the other. State CattleWho would men’s Association. have Drought, of expected course, is a far more widethat?” spread problem than Bill Slovek flooding this South Dakota year. cattle producer The worst drought “in 50 or 60 years” hammered Turner County this year and forced many cattle producers to sell livestock, Strand says. Corn and soybean yields were only a third of normal, and hayland and pastures were hurt even worse, he says. In an electronic newsletter from the Farm Service Agency to county producers, Strand listed two websites, www.hayexchange.com and www.haybarn.com., on which hay and straw can be bought and sold. Strand notes that the winter of 2011’12 was unusually warm and dry. While producers enjoyed it at the time, “We ended up paying for it,” he says. More moisture last winter would have helped hayfields and pastures get off to a better start this spring.
As for the big hay crop in 2011, some area ranchers sold much or all of their excess hay last year at a good price — a prudent move at the time, Slovek says. Now, some of those ranchers are forced to buy hay at prices considerably higher than a year ago. If they’d known what was coming, those ranchers would have held on to their 2011 hay. “We went from one extreme to the other,” Slovek says of the swing from the big 2011 hay crop to the terrible 2012 crop. “Who would have expected that?”
The economics of it The outlook for livestock producers was bright as recently as April, says Tim Petry, North Dakota State University Extension Service livestock economist. “As of this spring, we had record prices for just about all market classes of livestock,” he says. A big U.S. corn crop was expected to hold down corn prices, allowing the boom in livestock prices to continue. “Then, in mid-June, reports of the drought started coming in, and that just had a huge impact on all classes of livestock,” Petry says. As corn prices began to soar, some livestock producers, unwilling to absorb the higher feed costs, sold some of their animals. The supply of meat temporarily increased, pushing down livestock prices, Petry says. Livestock prices have begun to improve, now that the temporary increase in meat supplies is ending, he says. Sheep producers were hit harder than their counterparts who raise other types of livestock. “The sheep industry is a whole different situation,” Petry says. “Relatively small changes in production can have a big impact. Anything that throws something out of kilter really affects the market.” Last year, drought on the Southern Plains caused many lambs to come off the range early. The animals reached market unusually early, backlogging the market and pushing down prices, he says. Another factor was lower demand by high-end “white-tablecloth” restaurants that serve lamb. Once the restaurants raised their menu prices to reflect higher lamb prices, customers were less likely to order lamb, cutting demand, Petry says. The combination of factors caused the price of feeder lambs to fall from about $200 in April to $80 or $100 recently, he says. Feed lamb prices now have begun to
rally.
Look at the entire industry With prices so high early this year, many livestock producers were preparing to expand their operations. But those plans were scuttled, at least temporarily, after corn prices soared, Petry says. As a result, U.S. meat production won’t rise as anticipated, and that almost certainly will push livestock prices to record highs in 2013, Petry says. Record-high prices are good for producers with animals to sell. Nonetheless, the U.S. meat industry suffers when high prices are based partly on some producers being forced to downsize or go out of business, he says. Producers selling animals at high prices may not make a profit when their expenses are high, too, he says. Lueck, the Minnesota cattle producer, says agricultural officials in his area have worked to make sure producers there have enough feed to last the winter. “We don’t want anybody going out of business,” he says. “Once you get out, it’s very hard to get back in.” Hard numbers are tough to come by, but anecdotal evidence suggests that few area livestock producers, so far, have thrown in the towel. Instead, many have cut back on the size of their operations by culling breeding stock. But without meaningful precipitation this winter and spring, some producers will face painful choices next year, Petry and others say.
‘Going to be a challenge’ Slovek says his operation, which in a “normal to good year” consists of about 900 cow-calf pairs, 300 yearlings and an annual bull sale, will be able to survive the winter. But he’s concerned about the outcome if pastures and hayland aren’t recharged by winter and spring precipitation. If they aren’t, he would need to continue to buy land and rent pasture. “The prices (received by ranchers) are still pretty good,” he says. “But it’s the inputs that are killing you.” Many people involved in livestock are in their late 50s or early 60s. Given their age, they’re less willing to put up with extended tough times, Slovek says. “I think you’ll see that if we have another bad year, a lot of people will bail out,” he says. Slovek says he built up the genetic quality of his herd in 30 years with the use of artificial insemination. Selling some of those cattle, and replacing LIVESTOCK: See Page 11

them later with cattle possessing lower-quality genetics, isn’t attractive, he says. Slovek also had to overwinter part of his herd at a different location in 1996. This year, however, a much higher percentage of his herd is involved and the cattle needed to be taken much farther to winter pasture — almost 300 miles away. “The drought is just so widespread this year. There just wasn’t pasture closer to home,” he says of taking his cattle to Watertown. An extended period of above-average precipitation is required to end drought. But Slovek has received only about a quarter inch of precipitation this month, and only about an inch altogether in the past four months. Given the lack of moisture and the high cost of hay and other inputs, “Next year is going to be a challenge, to say the least,” he says. “All we can do is try to tough it out.”

FARGO, N.D. — The longtime chairman of the North Dakota Senate Agriculture Committee says he expects to be a prime sponsor of legislation that follows up on the failed Measure 5 vote that would have made some forms of animal cruelty a felony in North Dakota. State Sen. Tim Flakoll, RFargo, says he and key leaders from both parties — urban and rural, east and west in the state — will be involved. “I think people wanted something to happen” but “felt there were better options than Measure 5,” Flakoll says, reflecting on the vote. He acknowledges he was surprised at how lopsided the vote was, considering how early momentum seemed to be on the side of the “yes” vote. The issue had heavy financial backing from the Humane Society of the United States. The North Dakota Stockmen’s Association spearheaded a coalition effort against Measure 5. It was defeated with a 65 percent “no” vote. It would have imposed a felony penalty for egregious abuse of cats, dogs and

horses. The North Dakotans for Responsible Animal Care coalition has been working on a bill for introduction in the 2013 Legislature. The group has been gathering support and input from law enforcement, attorneys and veterinarians, to make sure a bill that goes into the Legislature will be understandable and enforceable, Flakoll says. He says State Rep. Dennis Johnson, R-Devils Lake, who has been chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, will also be a sponsor, as well as Rep. Lois Delmore, D-Grand Forks. Flakoll says if the measure had passed on Nov. 6, he would have been reluctant to introduce new legislation on grounds that it would seem to be working against the will of the people. But because of the vote, he thinks legislation is appropriate. He expects proponents of Measure 5 will come and testify.

Flakoll, who is provost of the Tri-College University, based in Fargo, was an animal scientist at North Dakota State University from 1984 to 1995, where he worked in care of beef cattle and horses for the university and assisted with research and teaching. He says he voted against the measure on grounds that he wanted “an opportunity to do something significantly better and more relevant in terms of common problems” in animal care. He says the details of the bill are still being developed. Sheyna Strommen, communications director for the stockmen’s association, says she doesn’t think the heavy thumping of the measure will lessen interest in a 2013 bill. “This group … had always planned on coming back and sitting down at the table after the last (legislative) effort didn’t go through,” she says. Strommen notes that the Senate in 2011 unanimously sup-

ported the study resolution, but that the idea lost by a vote of 36 to 56 in the House. “That vote was closer than what it was made out to be,” Strommen says. “I don’t think that hindered our resolve to come back and take a look at this issue. There’s got to be something that happens this time.” Strommen notes the measure prevailed in only two counties. Yes votes exceeded no votes in Grand Forks county by only 600 votes and the issue prevailed by only 50 votes in Sioux County. “All the other counties in the state voted no, resoundingly,” Strommen says. A Mason-Dixon poll conducted by NBC News had the measure prevailing. “It had us opposite — 60-30,” Strommen says. “We had a great grassroots effort — the North Dakota Stockmen, a lot of other animal stewards, members through the Farm Bureau, the Farmers Union — others stepped it up, talking about why this issue was important to them. I think they talked to their friends and family, and helped us get some traction.” The issue was fronted by veterinarians — mostly female — on both sides.
keter and distributor of plant protection, seed and nutritional products, has acquired the assets of Mott (N.D.) Grain. The acquisition broadens Wilbur-Ellis’ footprint in southwest North Dakota and will complement the company’s aerial application business, the largest of its kind in North Dakota, South Dakota and the region. “Wilbur-Ellis sets a high standard for acquiring profitable businesses with people who have a work ethic similar to ours, which is exactly what we saw in Mott Grain. They have been a Wilbur-Ellis customer for many years so we know they are an excellent and capable organization,” says Troy W. Johnson, vice president of Wilbur-Ellis’ Midwest Operations. “The acquisition complements our growth plan as we are committed to expanding our grower base and aerial application business in North Dakota.” Mott Grain has a history of purchasing seed, fertilizers, plant protection and other branded products from Wilbur-Ellis. The company also has utilized Wilbur-Ellis’ aerial application services. Mott Grain is the recipient of a 2007 and 2008 Dealer of the Year Award, which is given by the North Dakota Department of Agriculture. The company is also a 2008 recipient of a National Environmental Respect Award. “We’re excited to bring together the synergies of our companies at a time when North Dakota growers, large and small, need a high level of technological service and expertise to help meet the needs of their businesses,” says Todd Kautzman of Mott Grain. “And I believe that WilburEllis can bring that to the table.” According to the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, the state has more than 31,000 farmers and ranchers, making the industry essential to the state’s economy. Wilbur-Ellis, recognizing the importance of this geography, believes this growth is an important step to creating a sustainable, long-term business strategy for the company. Wilbur-Ellis’ Agribusiness Division generates $2 billion in sales revenue and has more than 160 locations in 25 states throughout the U.S.
Senators urge USDA action to curb wildfire risk
■ Senators from Colorado, Wyoming and
South Dakota are encouraging federal officials to use the timber industry to help thin forests prone to wildfires, such as the ones that raged across their states this past summer. In a Nov. 8 letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, the senators said overgrown forests, drought, vast stretches of trees killed by beetles, and more people living in fire zones have left the West at a critical juncture. They expressed support for thinning more acres near critical infrastructure and in areas where urban areas are up against forests. The senators also urged Vilsack to prioritize timber sales. The letter was signed by Sens. Mark Udall, D-Colo., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., John Barrasso, R-Wyo., Tim Johnson, DS.D., and John Thune, D-S.D.

Change doesn’t have to be dramatic and sweeping to make an impact. Bill Rishel, a registered Angus breeder from North Platte, Neb., says little gains in efficiency, functionality and carcass merit all add up. For easy math, he uses a 100-head example. “As a cow-calf producer, the No. 1 traits for profitability are fertility, reproduction and herd health,” he says. If an average herd has 90 head survive to weaning, what would five more mean? “Five additional head, because you had a little more fertility, you had a little better health or management — that’s about a $3,000 bump,” Rishel says. Calving ease is one easy place to make that gain: “Years ago the only tool we had was phenotype,” he says. “Today, when you add the genomics into the EPDs [expected progeny difference], we’re a lot further along than ever before in my life.” Tools are available to pick the right sires and drive improvements in other areas, he says. Those 95 calves move on to the industry average 205-day weaning, at 2.5 pounds of weight per day of age (WDA). At just more than $1.48 per hundredweight (cwt.), that’s $757. But what if they gained more? “That 5 percent increase, along with the five more calves — now you’re talking about some really big money,” Rishel says. Such a percentage gain in weaning weights means WDA moves from 2.5 to 2.63 pounds. That may not seem like much, he says, but figuring in all multipliers moves total calf price to more than $797, and $7,585 to the herd’s bottom line.
Factors in the feedyard A boost in gain and efficiency could show up in the feedyard, too. Increasing average daily gain (ADG) by that 5 percent would turn 3.4 pounds per day into 3.57. On a 600-pound total gain, that changes the per-head value by just $4.53, but measured on that 95 head it adds up to more than $430. Feed efficiency can have a much
longer effect, as improving from 6.2 to 5.89 pounds of feed to gain a pound of beef — just 5 percent — creates a $35 per head value difference. That’s $3,357 on the entire herd. Efficiency and quality can be achieved in tandem, Rishel says, noting one last place to make an improvement: the cooler. “Using genetic tools to make changes with highly heritable traits, now we can do something that impacts the entire industry,” he says. Citing an Oklahoma State University sire evaluation study, he says 16 bulls with superior carcass traits added an average of $3.27 per hundredweight to the carcass value. “I took that number and applied it to an 850-pound average carcass weight,” Rishel says. “The added value per carcass was $27.80.” That’s another $2,641. “So let’s add this up,” he says. The greater value from 5 percent improvements at every stop comes to $14,013.65. “If you calculate that by the number of cows, that’s actually about $140 per cow gained on that operation,” he says. “As a percent of the total carrying cost, that’s a big deal. A very big deal.”
The reward It’s not just an on-paper exercise, Rishel says, noting many top customers who have proven the better-at-everyturn philosophy works. “They just nail this every time out, due to genetics and their good management. They do everything right.” Their reward is obvious. With loads that are more than 60 percent Certified Angus Beef and Prime, they consistently reap premiums of more than $100 above average. “For those of us in the seedstock industry, it’s a balancing act to put all of these traits together in one package,” he says, but history shows an ability to move the needle in all areas. Some of today’s balanced sires are proof of that. “We selected those cattle for function and soundness and reproduction, and then when we got in the sire evaluation work, we selected for carcass traits from that population,” Rishel says. Careful selection of available genetics, tools and management by commercial cattlemen could put the 5 percent factor to work on their bottom lines.

Farm bill can achieve savings
By Don Davis
Forum Communications
ST. PAUL — A farm bill awaiting congressional action is being viewed more and more as a partial solution to the federal government’s debt and budget crisis. The farm bill and impending “fiscal cliff” are being linked because new federal farm policy could produce billions of dollars in savings. “There is a growing recognition that this could be part of the puzzle,” says Sen. Kent Conrad, the North Dakota Democrat who leads the Senate Budget Committee and is a key player in fiscal cliff negotiations. “I think the farm bill can contribute to solving the fiscal cliff because it can achieve savings,” adds U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, the No. 3 Senate Republican. Washington insiders say the farm bill, which is 80 percent nutrition programs such as food stamps, could save $23 billion to $50 billion in the next decade. While the government faces a “fiscal cliff” problem topping $2 trillion, many farm-state legislators say the farm bill would be a good down payment. Doug Heye, a spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, says no decisions have been made on how to move the farm bill or whether it will be part of the fiscal negotiations. The 2008 farm bill expired Sept. 30, so Congress at a minimum will have to extend parts of it into next year. The Democratic-controlled Senate passed its version of a new five-year farm bill earlier this year. The Republican House leadership did not bring its bill up, citing lack of votes.

Should be part of ‘fiscal cliff’ solution
D-Mich., signaled her eagerness to pair the two bills, saying the farm bill’s passage would be “a significant first step in meeting the critical deficit reduction challenges our country must face head-on this year.” “We have the votes,” says U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn. “I think we had the votes before the election. There is not a problem here other than these guys won’t put it on the floor.” Peterson says the Senate bill and the one awaiting House action are similar enough that they should not be hard to merge and go back to the House and Senate for final action. The bill’s agriculture highlight is putting more emphasis on programs such as insurance that pays farmers in case of a crop loss. Subsidies paid directly to farmers would play a much less important role than in previous years. A total of 235 farming, livestock, rural development, nutrition, conservation and renewable energy organizations collectively signed a letter to leaders of the House of Representatives recently, requesting passage of a new five-year farm bill before the end of the 112th Congress. “I think it’s going to be very hard to get a farm bill done unless a decision is made very quickly to be part of a package,” says Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Thune says he expects the bill to reach President Barack Obama’s desk, but could not promise it would happen before current farm law expires Dec. 31. “I would strongly prefer that a normal farm bill process put in place a five-year bill, hopefully by the end of this year,” Thune says. “I am very concerned about punting the farm bill to next year.”
Fiscal cliff work is expected to continue into next year.
Options
Peterson says three options are open for the farm bill: pass the House version and go into a conference committee with the Senate; the House could pass the Senate version; or farm provisions could be incorporated into the budget bill. The bill awaiting a House vote would cut $17 billion from nutrition programs, but Peterson has no problem with it going up to $26 billion. South Dakota Sen. Tim Johnson, who met with farmers during a roundtable discussion Nov. 20, is pushing for swift action on a full five-year farm bill. He says a six-month or one-year extension of the bill is an option, but the best solution would be for the House to pass it during this shortened session, and then have the two versions forged into one during a conference committee before President Obama can sign it into law. This year’s farm bill situation is unusual. The last four farm bills were passed prior to elections with rural politics driving the equation. This year, politics had the opposite effect as food stamps got in the way. Roger Johnson, president of the National Farmers Union, says the results of the Nov. 6 election should be good news for those who want to see a farm bill passed, since the balance of power stayed the same. “The outcome removed any sort of political rationale for a delay,” Johnson says. “The political argument I think is gone. Not to say it will be easy.” Editor’s Note: This article is from Forum Communications, which owns Agweek. Associated Press contributed to this article.

NDSU horticulturist to retire
■
After 27 years, Ron Smith moves on
North Dakota State University Extension Service
Ron Smith, horticulturist, has announced his retirement from the North Dakota State University Extension Service and the faculty of the Department of Plant Sciences. His retirement is effective Dec. 31. At that time, Smith will have completed 27 years as the NDSU Extension horticulturist. “Ron’s wisdom, passion for horticulture, vast array of expertise and profound effect on so many people cannot be summed up easily,” says Rich Horsley, Department of Plant Sciences head and professor in the department. Smith has taught classes in turfgrass management, landscape estimating and contracting, evolution and history of wine in America, 16 Master Gardener classes through the interactive video network (IVN), answered 40,000 to 50,000 questions in his Hortiscope column and answered some 22,000-plus phone calls.
Smith has visited 76 communities in North Dakota to deliver various programs and, in many cases, made repeat annual visitations. He has written numerous extension publications Smith and been an invited to speak on various subjects in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana. “Ron has done field studies on vegetable selection for home gardens, herb growing and use, turfgrass variety trials, integrated pest management study in landscape management, assisted in the establishment and maintenance of the RedHawks baseball field, renovated NDSU’s football practice fields and maintained them for 12 years,” Horsley says. “He also played a major role in developing and maintaining the NDSU horticulture gardens, served on many committees and attended countless meetings.”
A distinguished career
Smith joined the NDSU Department of Plant Sciences in 1985 as an associate professor, with responsibilities primarily in extension, along with teaching and research. He has won numerous awards and recognitions during his tenure at NDSU, including the Mortar Board Preferred Professor Award in 2000, Blue Key Honor Society Distinguished Educator Award in 2003, Apple Polisher Award in 2006, Agriculture Communication Communicator of the Year Award in 1991 and Award for Excellence in Programs in 1989 and 2001. Smith’s weekly Hortiscope column appears in newspapers around the region. He has answered questions in the column that were local and international in scope. He answered questions monthly on North Dakota Public Radio’s “Hear It Now” program, which is broadcast across the state. During the growing season, Smith was a weekly guest on KQLX radio and appeared on three TV “Little Garden on the Prairie” programs. Since 1996, Smith has taught the Master Gardener course every fall semester. The eight-week course was delivered through the IVN system. The 2012 enrollment was 52 students in 11 counties. Smith has been published in various
magazines, such as Prairie Home, Prairie Business, Golf Course Management, Fine Gardening Magazine and American Nurseryman. “He has written specifications for grass varieties and cultivars for the King’s Walk Golf Course in Grand Forks (N.D.); done field research with turfgrass varieties and cultivars in Fargo (N.D.) and Dickinson (N.D.); flower variety evaluations in Fargo, Dickinson and Williston (N.D); and medicinal herb research, primarily with echinacea, in Fargo, Dickinson and Williston,” Horsley says. Smith is active in several professional organizations, including the American Society of Agronomy, Garden Writers Association, North Dakota Horticulture Society, Minnesota Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, Minnesota Wine Grape Growers Association, North Dakota Grape Growers Association, North Dakota Nursery and Greenhouse Association, Sports Turf Managers Association and NDSU Gamma Sigma Delta Chapter Smith is a certified professional horticulturist and International Society of Arboriculture certified arborist. “After a very rewarding, challenging, demanding and fulfilling career, we wish Ron a long and enjoyable retirement,” Horsley says.

It’s no hog heaven here
■
ND pork industry has diminished
By Betsy Simon
Forum Communications
Raising pigs is no hog heaven in The Peace Garden State. “It’s a pretty labor intensive industry raising pigs, between all of the daily chores, feeding, managing the barns and taking care of the breeding stock that have to be done,” says Charlotte Meier, of Regent, N.D. Meier has served as state executive for the North Dakota Pork Council. She says there was no lack of work when she and her family raised pigs for 20 years before the family decided to give up the practice because of personal reasons. They finished their venture in the hog industry by raising about 500 pigs a year. “The farm we had purchased was set up for raising them, so it was a natural fit for us to raise pigs at that time,” she says. Not only has Meier’s litter diminished, but she also says the pork industry in North Dakota has withered over time. Although it is still possible to find larger operations across the state that raise nu-
merous hogs, she was not aware of any such operations in Stark County. “The pork industry got smaller in North Dakota, at least in part, because over time the corn used as feed for the pigs got to be very expensive,” Meier says. “It is also difficult to find a market to sell hogs around here, since the nearest hog processing plants are in places like Minnesota and Iowa. For that reason, I would say that having access to market pigs keeps some people out of the pork industry in North Dakota.” Although it is not North Dakota’s specialty, pork is the most widely eaten meat worldwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural service. North Dakota produces less than 1 percent of the nation’s total pork supply, according to USDA. The top five pork producing states in the nation for 2010 were Iowa, North Carolina, Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana. Charlie Noyce is a Dickinson farmer who has raised pigs since he was a child and now has about a half dozen pigs that his family uses for their own purposes. “I don’t raise hogs for profit,” he says. “See, you need corn or barley to fatten these pigs up right, and with the grain prices as high as they are right now, it is economically hard for farmers to raise

pigs at this time.” Noyce says it also did not help the hog industry when the slaughter house in Minot shut down after the flood hit the area last year, forcing hog producers to travel farther, often out of state, to slaughter or take their pigs to market. But the circumstances could change and make hog raising more attractive again to farmers, Noyce says. “Hogs are the cheapest big livestock, so if you have to feed, you’re better off putting it into other livestock right now,” he says. “That might change in a few months though, if grain prices go down and hog prices go higher, but at the present moment, hogs just aren’t a good investment for farmers to get into.”
Unused resources
Chip Poland, chairperson of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Studies at Dickinson State University, says the pork industry is small in North Dakota, given the resources the state has available for pork production. “We produce a fair amount of feed grains and have a fairly open landscape, which are all right variables for the pork industry. So why don’t we have a bigger pork industry here?” he says. Unfortunately, the answer is purely speculation, Poland says. “Part of it is likely due to the distance

producers have to travel to get to a processing facility, and part of it is also a lack of feeder pigs,” he says. “There is also public perception and issues associated with production, especially odor that has to be dealt with. People simply do not want to smell it, even in a rural state like North Dakota.” Poland says the state’s pig population declined as producers moved toward more modern agricultural practices, with farming operations that are less diversified than they once were. “I’ve been in North Dakota since 1994 and I’m astounded that the industry has not grown,” he says. “In western North Dakota, I would say it is not outside the realm of possibility that we could see the industry grow.” Any growth, Poland predicts, will be dependent on some factors. “But with feed costs as high as they are and the distance producers have to travel to a harvest facility and to get quality feeder pigs, there are a lot of issues that have to be overcome to grow the industry,” he says. “Those are all problems that need to be dealt with beyond dealing with public perception of the pork production, so I’m still waiting to see.” Editor’s Note: This article is from Forum Communications, which owns Agweek.

Making a match

Programs in US match fledgling farmers, landowners
By Mary Esch
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — When Schuyler and Colby Gail were trying to get started in farming, they ran into an obstacle common to many fledgling farmers: Land was expensive and hard to find. They turned to a local land conservancy, which matched them up with a landowner willing to sell at an affordable price. Now, they raise pigs, lambs and poultry on their farm in New Lebanon, N.Y., 25 miles southeast of Albany, N.Y. “We were able to come to a better financial agreement because the landowners were excited about what we were doing,” says Schuyler Gail, who launched Climbing Tree Farm a year ago with her husband, a carpenter. “It wouldn’t be the same if we bought land off the regular real estate market.” To keep land in agricultural production and help a new generation start farming as older farmers near retirement, land conservancies and other farm preservation groups have launched a growing number of landowner-farmer matching programs like the one that helped the Gails. About 25 states have FarmLink programs that match new farmers with landowners, and the programs vary in how involved they are in matches. For example, Connecticut has made about a half dozen matches since it began in 2007, but staffers aren’t allowed to get involved in leases, spokeswoman Jane Slupecki says. The opposite is true in California, says Central Valley coordinator Liya Schwartzman. In Maine, the program has facilitated 82 matches since it started in 2002, a spokeswoman says. More than 60 percent of farmers are older than 55, and the fastest-growing group of farmers and ranchers is those older than 65, Census figures show. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has set a goal of creating 100,000 new farmers within the next few years.
Urban encroachment
In New York and New England, where nearly a quarter of farmland is owned by farmers 65 and older, a new generation is eager to produce the locally grown organic vegetables, fruit, meat and milk that are in high demand at urban greenmarkets and restaurants. But the proximity to population centers

! Schuyler Gail and her daughter Tillie walk with sheep at the family’s Climbing Tree Farm in New Lebanon, N.Y., Nov. 15. Dealing with land that was costly and hard to find, Gail and her husband turned to a local land conservancy, which matched them up with a landowner willing to sell for an affordable price. that creates demand for local farm goods also pushes land prices out of reach for fledgling farmers and makes selling to developers a tempting option for farmers looking for a retirement cushion. New York state has lost almost half a million acres of farmland to subdivisions, strip malls and scattered development in the past 25 years, according to the American Farmland Trust. The organization started a series of projects to address the problem, including a network of organizations linking farmers with landowners, and developing creative leasing arrangements to make land affordable, says the trust’s New York state director, David Haight. Land prices in the Hudson Valley are around $10,000 to $30,000 an acre, he says. “While we can’t control the price of land, we can help farmers obtain land,” says Marissa Codey of the Columbia Land Conservancy south of Albany that helped the Gails find their land. The conservancy’s matching program has grown quickly through word of mouth since it began in 2009, now counting about 85 landowners and 65 farmers. “There’s a pretty steady flow of new people to the program,” Codey says. The Columbia Land Conservancy’s primary focus is facilitating leases, rather than sales. “Leasing land is not a new concept,”
Codey says. “The change we’re seeing is that so many farms are now participating in the local food movement.”
Longer leases
While a casual, short-term lease may be fine for a farmer looking for some extra grazing pasture, it’s not good for the new generation of farmers interested in organic vegetable farms and orchards. Those farmers need the security of a formal, long-term lease if they’re going to invest the time and resources needed to develop their operations. Landowner Larry Steele says he and his wife, Betty, had wanted their 89-acre property to be an active farm since they bought it 15 years ago, but they knew nothing about farming. They joined the Columbia Land Conservancy’s matching program three years ago and interviewed about a dozen farmers before signing a lease. “We were looking for someone who was committed, who had a great work ethic, who was passionate about what he did,” Steele says. “Someone with integrity that we could build a long-term relationship with.” Now in its third year, Mecca’s Great Song Farm is a community supported agriculture operation that feeds about 95 families. “We couldn’t be happier,” Steele says.
USDA links gene flow between wild and domesticated rice to rising carbon dioxide levels
■ BELTSVILLE, Md.– New research at the U.S. Department of Agriculture confirms that rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide facilitate the flow of genes from wild or weedy rice plants to domesticated rice varieties. As a result, domesticated plants could take on undesirable weedy characteristics that may interfere with future rice production. The investigation was conducted by researchers at the Agricultural Research Service. “We know that global climate change will require some farmers to revise production strategies in response to shifting weather patterns and crop demands,” says ARS administrator Edward B. Knipling. “These new findings will help plant breeders design and interpret studies on how changes in climate may affect crop response.” ARS plant physiologist Lew Ziska led the investigation. Collaborators included David Gealy, Martha Tomecek, Aaron Jackson and Howard Black. Ziska and Tomecek work at the ARS Crop Systems and Global Change Laboratory in Beltsville, Md., and the other scientists work at the ARS Dale Bumpers National Rice Research Center in Stuttgart, Ark. Weedy wild rice is the same species as domesticated rice and is difficult to control in production settings. The team conducted a two-year combination growth chamber and field study to document how atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations affect growth in weedy and domesticated rice and to observe the exchange of genetic material between the two plant types. Twenty-four-hour carbon dioxide concentrations in the chambers were set at 300, 400 and 600 parts per million (ppm). These concentrations approximated the atmospheric carbon dioxide values present during the end of the 19th century, the current value, and values projected for the end of the 21st century, respectively. When grown in carbon dioxide concentrations of 400 ppm and 600 ppm, both types of rice put out more tillers and flowers and grew taller, compared to plants grown at carbon dioxide concentrations of 300 ppm. But these changes in height, which scientists think are an important factor in pollen sharing and therefore impact gene flow, were more pronounced in the wild rice. The number of flowers produced by the wild rice grown in 600 ppm carbon dioxide was doubled compared to rice grown at 300 ppm, a significantly larger increase than the flowering increase in the domesticated rice. At the greatest concentration of carbon dioxide, wild rice also produced flowers an average of eight days earlier, a shift that apparently enhanced the likelihood of pollen transfer between the two rice types. The researchers conducted a genetic analysis of the hybrid seed offspring of the two rice varieties. The results of these tests indicated domesticated rice transferred only a small amount of genetic material to its weedy relative, even at the greatest concentration of carbon dioxide. The weedy plants transferred a greater amount of genetic material to their domesticated relatives, which differed from 0.22 percent at carbon dioxide concentrations of 300 ppm to 0.71 percent at carbon dioxide concentrations of 600 ppm. The transfer of wild genetic material to the domesticated rice line resulted in the production of seed with significant weedy characteristics that would be undesirable in domesticated rice production. – Agweek Wire Reports

On the back burner
Minn. representative concerned about Democratic House majority ■
By Don Davis
Forum Communications
ST. PAUL — The Minnesota House agriculture committee chairman for the past two years is concerned Democrats are putting agriculture on the back burner as they take control of the chamber. Rep. Rod Hamilton, R-Mountain Lake, says agriculture and rural finance issues were discussed in their own committee for years. But when Democrats become the House majority on Jan. 8, those issues will be considered with environment and natural resources matters. “My concern is it will be playing a diminished role, if you will, and we just shouldn’t let that happen,” Hamilton says. To further frustrate Hamilton, the House speaker and majority leader are from Minneapolis and St. Paul, shutting rural Minnesota out of the two top posts.
More than 80 percent of state funding will go through finance committees led by rural chairmen. House Majority Leader-elect Erin Murphy, DFL-St. Paul, says House leaders aim for balance among rural, suburban and urban areas. “Our job is to make sure we are focusing on Minnesota as a whole,” says Murphy, who grew up surrounded by farm country in the southern Wisconsin communities of Columbus and Janesville. “I have farmers in my family,” she says. “It is not lost on me that we live in an agricultural economy and an agricultural state.” When House Democrats made Rep. Paul Thissen of Minneapolis their choice for speaker and elected Murphy majority leader, it raised some rural eyebrows. It is not common for a party to make Twin Cities urban lawmakers their top two leaders. “I worry about what direction that is going to steer,” says Rep. Kurt Daudt, the man House Republicans named their leader. So far, he says, DFL leaders have been fair to him but he is concerned since he comes from Crown, a rural area just north of the Twin Cities. In the past, Daudt says, “very often the DFL will push the funding formula to be more beneficial to the urban area.” For instance, Minneapolis schools receive 50 percent more funding per pupil than in his rural area, he
says. “What makes a kid in Minneapolis worth 50 percent more than a kid in my area?” Daudt asks. “Rural areas sometimes get forgotten about.”
A promise Rep. Paul Marquart, DFL-Dilworth, promised that rural Minnesota will be remembered while he is chairman of the House Education Finance Committee. Marquart ran against Murphy in a DFL caucus election just after Election Day to give rural Minnesota a voice in the leadership circle. After losing that vote, the high school social studies teacher strongly defends Thissen’s pick of committee chairmen. “Rural Minnesota has a lot of strength on these committees, which I was very pleased to see,” Marquart says. “I think it was important that Speaker-designate Thissen wanted to make sure ... that there was a rural voice at the table when it comes to education finance.” Hamilton says Marquart “is a good person,” but he joined Daudt in concerns about lower rural funding for schools and nursing homes. Still, he is most worried about ag spending. Rep. Jean Wagenius, DFL-Minneapolis, will be chairwoman of the new Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture Finance committee. The 26year House veteran, who could not be
reached for comment, long has been a DFL leader on environmental issues. “I’m not trying to pick a fight with Rep. Wagenius,” Hamilton says. “She is a champion on environmental issues, there is no question about it.” In the Senate, Sen. David Tomassoni, DFL-Chisholm, will lead a finance division that includes the environment, economic development and agriculture. Tomassoni is from a smaller community, but one without much traditional agriculture in the area. With agriculture funding now mixed with environment and natural resources funding, Hamilton says that he fears money that has been set aside for agriculture could go elsewhere. If agriculture were to remain separate, he says, Democrats have “wonderful rural members” who could be chairman. If agriculture ends up getting a fair treatment, he adds, “I will be the first to apologize.” Hamilton wonders if putting agriculture last in the committee title was a signal of its lack of importance. “I want to keep an open mind, but I do want to raise my concerns,” Hamilton says. “If you don’t bring them up and they are not addressed right up front, then don’t be complaining at the end if things don’t go the way you want.” Editor’s Note: This article is from Forum Communications, which owns Agweek.

Good prices for feed peas
INNIPEG, Manitoba — Corn at $7 per bushel and soybeans at $13 per bushel mean feed peas are a bargain at $8.50. At the same time, the edible yellow market is stagnant. India should be buying but it’s still plagued by its dropping rupee, which lost another 1 percent this month. The price of edible yellow peas, more or less, dropped to the price of feed peas in the past month. Edible yellows are $8 to $8.50 freight on board, while feed peas top out at $8.50. Feed pea markets have the considerable advantage of paying for splits and some dockage. It’s not certain that you’ll get more from the feed market, but don’t be surprised if you do. The slowness of Indian imports at least can’t get much worse. Indian imports are one factor that potentially could be positive. The Indian winter pulse crop — the larger of its two crops — is slow to be planted. Rains have been so-so to date. India is coming off a small summer crop, as well, so its demand will presumably pick up, probably after the new year. Greens are the exciting part of the pea market. Canada sold out last year so this year’s slightly bigger crop of 400,000 metric tons moved fast from the start of harvest into an empty pipeline. Now Argentina, another big producer, is suffering an excess of rain at harvest with predictable quality consequences. That’s been the driver of the latest $1 in green prices. Greens fetch $12.50 to $12.75 per bushel freight on board. There’s little downside in yellow pea prices, but also little upside, as all commodities, including grains, are on the defensive as world growth slows. The most likely scenario is for flat markets through Christmas.

Mustard prices moved up in the past month on Canadian processor demand. There was a general feeling that Ukraine and Russia must have had a poor mustard

crop along with their poor wheat crop and therefore, European demand should pick up. Nonetheless, yellow mustard has moved up 2 to 3 cents per pound and brown by 1 to 2 cents. Oriental has been flat. Canada produced a second straight small mustard crop this year — 126,000 metric tons. There was also a small crop in 2011 — 125,000 metric tons. Crops had earlier usually been in the 200,000-metric-ton range. The once-sizable mustard carryover is shrinking. It had been 125,000 metric tons in July 2011, but will be down to 60,000 next July. American mustard production doubled in 2012, to 20,000 metric tons.
Canola drifts lower
Weakness in the bean complex, poor domestic crush margins and steady farmer selling continue to set a negative tone for canola prices. Exporter buying has been on the sidelines as the world oilseed complex contends with uncertainty over Chinese demand. Speculative fund selling has been a main feature with the futures moving below key technical levels. South America continues to have favorable conditions, which has kept oilseeds under pressure. The function of the canola market was to ration demand, and it appears commer-
cial buying interest has subsided despite the lower prices. The domestic canola crush pace has remained strong at more than 150,000 metric tons per week, but this pace will ease in the later half of the crop year. Domestic crush margins are in negative territory and we are starting to see softer basis levels in the country system. World vegetable oil prices continue to soften, which has slowed export demand for canola oil. Record high meal prices earlier in summer slowed offshore movement for canola meal and caused domestic North American demand to ease overall. Year-to-date canola exports for the week ending Nov. 11 were 2.4 million metric tons, about the same as last year; however, the domestic crush pace was 2.1 million metric tons, up 200,000 metric tons over year ago levels. Given the smaller crop, the market needed to ration demand and market is now experiencing a period of limited commercial buying.
Milling wheat futures drop
Soft export demand and lower feedgrain values caused all wheat futures markets to come under pressure the week ending Nov. 16. Spec fund selling subsided at the lower levels, but markets were unable to bounce off major support. U.S. wheat prices have been trading at a premium to world values and traders now are lowering their export projections. U.S. domestic wheat feeding also is coming in lower than expected. The U.S. wheat fundamentals will not be as tight as earlier anticipated and the market is adjusting to encourage demand. U.S. and Canadian hard red spring wheat carryouts for the 2012 to ’13 crop year are expected to finish above the 10-year average. Therefore, prices also should be trading below the 10-year-average price, but strength in the corn and feedgrains complex has kept milling wheat prices at the higher levels.

MARKETS
Grains rally on thin volume Wheat: quiet trade in holiday week
The wheat markets had small gains for the week of Thanksgiving, with December Minneapolis up 8 cents, Chicago up 11 cents and Kansas City up 6 cents. Chicago wheat found support from the higher row crop markets, and the hard wheat markets struggled to follow along because of a lack of fresh news. The wheat markets traded with small gains on Nov. 19, unable to follow the double-digit gains seen in the corn and soybean markets. Export inspections were weak once again, and traders were waiting for fresh export news. Trade was also pensive ahead of the Nov. 19 crop conditions report for winter wheat. The wheat markets traded with small gains Nov. 20. The Nov. 19 weekly progress report showed another decline in the winter wheat conditions, but traders paid little attention because of the fact that the summer harvest still is many months away. Gains were also limited in the wheat markets as a result of strength in the U.S. dollar. The wheat markets drifted Nov. 21 in quiet trade ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. Traders had little news to spark any large moves, and outside markets didn’t give much direction either. While the row crop markets were fairly active last week, the wheat markets have held steady within a narrow range. The Nov. 23 short trading day brought quiet gains of 2 to 4 cents into the wheat markets. The dollar was sharply lower, which gave support to wheat, as did the gains in the row crop markets. Exports were neutral, with decent sales, but disappointing shipments. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported export inspections of 11.1 million bushels of wheat for the week ending Nov. 16. This brings the year-to-date export inspections pace to 438.4 million bushels, down from 502.5 million at this time last year. Wheat’s export sales pace for the week ending Nov. 16 was estimated at 23.3 million bushels. This brings the year-to-date export sales pace for wheat to 582.9 million bushels, compared with 640 million for last year. Shipments of 12.1 million bushels were reported. With 28 weeks left in wheat’s marketing year, shipments need to average 23.4 million bushels and sales need to average 18.6 million to make USDA’s projection of 1.1 billion. As of Nov. 18, 84 percent of the nation’s winter wheat crop was emerged, compared with 79 percent the previous week and 86 percent for the five-year average. Winter wheat conditions dropped 2 percent to 34 percent good to excellent, 42 percent fair and 24 percent poor to very poor.
Corn: no change to ethanol mandate
The big news last week was EPA’s announcement that the RFS mandate would be left unchanged. Talk of transportation problems in the U.S. and estimates of a smaller South American corn crop also added strength. Additional market moves came from the expiration of the December options, as well as from a thinly traded market caused by the Thanksgiving holiday. For the week ending Nov. 21, December corn was up 14 cents. Corn traded higher on Nov. 19 and 20 with followthrough buying coming from Nov. 16. The EPA made a statement Nov. 16 that the renewable fuel standard mandate would be left unchanged. This encouraged buying, as corn stocks are already tight. Traders are also optimistic that a deal will be reached on the fiscal cliff and that supported the outside markets.

Some private analysts are estimating a smaller corn crop in Argentina as a result of excessive rain and corn acres switching to soybeans. The upside was limited with another poor export inspections report. Japan also reported that its corn usage fell for the ninth month in a row, as it is using more wheat in feed rations. The Nov. 21 session had corn slightly lower as the futures saw some profit taking ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The December options expired on Nov. 23 and there are a large number of positions at the $7.50 strike price. Additional weakness came from news that the Russian Ag Ministry announced it will increase grain exports by 3 million to 5 million metric tons. Chinese officials also announced that the country will stockpile its domestically grown corn. The weekly ethanol report was also disappointing. Ethanol production for the week ending Nov. 16 averaged 811,000 barrels per day, down 11.56 percent from last year. Total ethanol production for the week was 5.67 million barrels. Corn used in production is estimated at 85.2 million bushels, versus the 86.6 million needed per week to meet this crop year’s USDA estimate of 4.5 billion bushels. This crop year’s cumulative corn used for ethanol production is 937.6 million bushels. Ethanol stocks increased by 1.08 million barrels to 18.93 million barrels and stocks are up 8.5 percent from last year. USDA’s export inspections report was bearish for corn. There were 14.4 million bushels of corn reported shipped, well below the 23.4 million needed to meet USDA’s projection of 1.15 billion. This was within the pre-report estimates of 8 million to 15 million bushels. The export sales report for corn was at 37.7 million bushels, above the 16.9 million needed to meet USDA’s projection of 1.15 billion. This was above the estimates of 9.8 million to 19.7 million bushels and friendly for corn.
Soybeans: exports drive market
Commercial buying fueled gains in the soybean complex last week. The continued rapid pace of soybean exports combined with technical support to create strength in soybeans. For the week ending Nov. 21, soybeans gained 25 cents. Soybeans traded higher Nov. 19 on short covering and support from strong outside markets. The U.S. dollar was lower, while crude oil and the Dow Jones experienced sharp gains. The market was seen as oversold, as many traders thought the market has worked in most of its negative news for the nearterm. The South American weather forecast remained favorable and limited gains. The Nov. 19 export inspections were strong again, coming in well above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA’s projection. Soybeans traded higher again Nov. 20 on renewed
commercial buying and short covering. A cut to production estimates in Brazil and Argentina by a market analyst provided some support. Firm cash markets and continued strong export demand provided additional support. Soybeans traded on both sides of unchanged Nov. 21 in light trade before settling slightly lower. The forecast for southern Brazil has gotten dryer, but is not a concern yet. The forecast remains good for other growing areas of South America. USDA announced a sale of 120,000 metric tons of soybeans to China. The shortened Nov. 23 trading day brought strength into the market again, as the grains found support from the sharply lower dollar and stability in other outside markets. The export report showed heavy shipments of soybeans again last week. USDA reported soybean export inspections pace for the week ending Nov. 16 at 62 million bushels. This brings the year-to-date export shipments pace for soybeans to 496.8 million bushels, compared with 355.3 million bushels for last year at this time. Soybean export sales pace for the week ending Nov. 16 was estimated at 20 million bushels, bringing this year’s total to 993.7 million, compared with 764 million last year at this time.
Barley
USDA reported barley export inspections for the week ending Nov. 16 at 8,000 bushels. This brings year-to-date export shipments to 5.46 million bushels, compared with 5.59 million for last year at this time. There were no barley export sales reported, with the year-to-date export sales pace at 5.6 million bushels, compared with 3.8 million for last year at this time. Nov. 21 cash barley bids in Minneapolis had feed barley at $5.50 per bushel, while malting barley bids were at $7.20.
Durum
USDA reported durum export inspections for the week ending Nov. 16 at 6,000 bushels. There were no new export sales for durum, with the year-to-date export sales pace at 12.2 million bushels, compared with 12.3 million for last year. Nov. 21 cash bids for milling quality durum were $8.25 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., while Dickinson, N.D., bids were at $8.
Canola
Canola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, exchange gained around $1 (Canadian) per ton for the week. Canola had support last week from strength in the soybean complex, while the stronger Canadian dollar limited gains. The supply and demand situation does remain tight for canola, with technical support at $570 (Canadian) per ton. Nov. 21 cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at $26.68 per hundredweight.
Sunflowers
Soybean oil export sales pace for the week ending Nov. 16 was estimated at 124.1 trillion metric tons, bringing the year-to-date total to 449.3 trillion metric tons, compared with last year’s 113 trillion. With 44 weeks left in the export marketing year, soybean oil exports need to average 2.1 trillion metric tons per week to make USDA’s projection of 540 trillion. Nov. 21 cash sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were at $22.95 per hundredweight.

American Crystal union votes
■
Group will decide whether to accept contract
By Chris Bjorke
Forum Communications
American Crystal Sugar Co. management is expecting locked-out union workers to vote again on a labor contract in a little more than a week. According to a statement on a Crystal website devoted to contract negotiations, www.ACSCcontracttalks.com, representatives from management and the union’s bargaining committee met Nov. 15 and discussed management’s contract offer. Following the meeting, the website said, “American Crystal has received indications (but not a formal notification) that the BCTGM may conduct a vote on December 1, 2012.” It’s a change from the most recent meeting on Sept. 5, when representatives of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers told management they did not plan another vote. The union represents about 1,300 workers at Crystal’s sugar production plants in the Red River Valley, including in East Grand Forks, Moorhead and Crookston in Minnesota, as well as Drayton and Hillsboro in North Dakota. The company is headquartered in Moorhead. Union members have not returned to work since the company locked them out Aug. 1, 2011, after they rejected management’s contract offer. They voted again in November 2011 and this past June, each time rejecting the contract. In the most recent vote, 63 percent of voting members voted “no.” Union officials said 82 percent of members participated. Bakery Workers members, with the support of the AFL-CIO, have called for a boycott of Crystal products. Editor’s Note: This article is from Forum Communications, which owns Agweek.
REGIONAL NEWS Winslows Featured on Agriculture’s Lasting Heritage
■ Meet farmers and ranchers
on www.agricultureslastingheritage.org. One of the featured farm families are the Winslows, Scott, Jean, Colin and Katie of Fillmore County in Minnesota. The Winslow’s family farm Twin Oak Acres has been in existence since 1854. “When people ask me how long we’ve been here, I tell them we’ve always been here,” says Winslow, whose ancestors came to the new world aboard the infamous Mayflower. Ancestors of Scott Winslow immigrated to this land in 1629 and lived in New York, Massachusetts and Illinois before settling in Minnesota
and Kansas. Twin Oak Acres diversified farm was established in 1854, four years before Minnesota became a state. A small log cabin originally provided shelter to the family. A new home now sits in the same location.

Organic farmers condemn US report Claim it favors GMO
■
By Carey Gillam Reuters
Organic growers and food safety advocates on Nov. 20 condemned an advisory report to the U.S. Department of Agriculture claiming its recommendations would be costly for farmers who want to protect their conventional crops from being contaminated by genetically modified (GMO), also known as genetically engineered (GE), varieties. The groups were responding to a report submitted to USDA by a committee assigned by USDA to study how best biotech agriculture could coexist with organic and conventional agriculture. “Of particular concern in the report is the recommendation that organic and non-GE conventional farmers pay to self-insure themselves against unwanted GE contamination,” the National Organic Coalition said in a statement. “This proposal allows USDA and the agricultural biotechnology industry to abdicate responsibility for preventing GE contamination while making the victims of GE pollution pay for damages resulting from transgenic contamination,” it said. Since their introduction in 1996, genetically engineered crops have be-
come popular with U.S. farmers and now make up the majority of corn and soybeans produced in the United States. But there are a range of environmental and health concerns tied to biotech crops, and many farmers prefer not to grow them and many markets, both domestic and international, pay a premium for non-GMO crops and other products. In its report, the advisory committee, known as the AC21, said all American farmers have the right to make the best choices for their own farms, including the choice to grow genetically engineered crops, or to grow organic or conventional crops. “It is important that every American farmer is encouraged to show respect for their neighbor’s ability to make different choices,” the report said. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said USDA would review the report and consider the recommendations. He said USDA supports “all segments of agriculture.” “The report is the culmination of a great deal of hard work and complex discussion and review,” said Vilsack in a statement. “I understand that required compromises to find common ground.”
Compensation issue unresolved
USDA had asked the advisory committee to analyze what types of compensation mechanisms, if any, would be
appropriate to address economic losses by farmers as a result of contamination by GE crops. And while there was some dissent, a majority of AC21 members did not agree on any type of compensation mechanism. The committee said its members could not agree about the extent to which a systemic problem exists and whether there is enough data to warrant a compensation mechanism to address it. While the committee acknowledged there are unintended GE materials found in commercial products, they differed in their assessment of the significance of the unintended presence. The committee recommended that USDA evaluate data to better understand actual economic losses by farmers tied to GE contamination. If a compensation program is needed, the committee said it should be modeled on existing crop insurance. Coexistence agreements between neighboring farmers should be developed, the committee said. “This issue will only increase as new biotech products come to market so it is essential that the federal government step up now and establish strong policies that ensure coexistence measures are carried out by farmers, seed companies, and others who move food from the farm to the consumer’s table,” said Greg Jaffe, a committee member and director of the Biotechnology Project at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a Washington-based nonprofit.
Jaffe said he supported the report’s recommendations. The committee was comprised of 23 individuals from 16 states and the District of Columbia, representing academia, the American Farm Bureau, corn, wheat and soybean industry organizations, the organic industry, grain companies and others. The committee also recommended that USDA set up and fund a comprehensive education and outreach initiative to “strengthen understanding of coexistence between diverse agricultural production systems.” And the committee said USDA should fund and research improved techniques for mitigating contamination and gather data from seed companies on contamination. It also recommended that USDA evaluate on an ongoing basis the pool of commercially available nonGMO seed and ensure that the seed supply remains diverse. In criticizing the report, the organic growers said the committee “failed to make a single recommendation holding the patent holders of genetic engineering technologies responsible and liable for damages” caused by biotech seed use. “We urgently need meaningful regulatory change that institutionalizes mandatory GE contamination prevention practices,” the National Organic Coalition said. “USDA needs to stop dragging its heels, get serious and focus on making this happen.”
NATIONAL NEWS Hydrogels help grasses grow on remote, arid rangelands
■ LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The arid conditions in the southwest U.S. make restoring degraded rangelands difficult, but a U.S. Department of Agriculture scientist has found a way to help native grasses survive there so they can be closely studied as restoration tools. Residential development, mining operations, recreational activities and other changes to the landscape have stripped many southwest rangelands of their native vegetation. That reduces habitat for wildlife and forage for grazing, makes soils more
susceptible to erosion and even increases dust along highways, reducing visibility. Mary Lucero, a molecular biologist with the Agricultural Research Service, is conducting long-term studies at the ARS Jornada Experimental Range in Las Cruces, N.M., to see if microbes associated with hardy woody shrubs can be transferred to native grasses to fortify them so they are better equipped to restore degraded rangelands. Lucero is evaluating the competitive abilities of grasses treated with various microbes and transplanted into disturbed, arid rangeland sites. Temperatures in the area can exceed 100 de-
grees for days at a time and rainfall is scarce and highly variable, so the transplants need to be irrigated to become established. But irrigating on such remote sites can be laborintensive and costly. To enhance the ability of a native bunch grass to establish in such hostile environments, Lucero and her colleagues filled tubes fashioned out of PVC pipes with hydrated gels, buried them alongside the roots of the grass and positioned the pipes so that moisture would be available to the grass roots. Hydrogels are already used in some commercial products for helping establish grass seedlings and for cutting

back on how often a gardener has to water a garden. Lucero wanted to see if the hydrogel-filled tubes would provide enough moisture to enhance the survival rates of the grasses she is studying. Lucero’s results show that one liter of hydrogel-bound water was sufficient to support black grama grass transplants through reproductive maturity. The results show that hydrogels can be used to irrigate native grasses transplanted into harsh desert environments, and that they may be useful for restoration of rangeland habitats. – Agweek Wire Reports

Canada aims for safer food system
■
XL Foods scare did not affect beef sales
By Terry Pedwell
Canadian Press
OTTAWA, Ontario — The fallout from a massive tainted-beef recall was still being felt Nov. 20 as the Canadian government prepared to pass legislation aimed at making the food system safer. Canadian beef sales, both domestic and international, have not declined in the wake of the XL Foods scare, said Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “Not at all,” Ritz said when asked whether sales had dropped off. The minister pointed out, however, that another case of illness tied to meat from a troubled XL plant in Brooks, Alberta, was recently uncovered. “There was another case linked back ... some days ago as public health does their due diligence,” Ritz said. “That’s the total that we’ve seen to this point is 18.” The Public Health Agency of Canada said Nov. 14 that a new case of E. coli linked to the XL plant was confirmed in Alberta. The agency said the person became ill in October and still is recovering. The United States and Taiwan imposed restrictions on beef imports from the XL Foods plant immediately following the E. coli scare. American inspectors have conducted an assessment of the plant since, and Ritz said he was hoping to hear soon whether the U.S. would begin accepting exports again. Last month, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency gave the plant permission to resume slaughtering cattle after being shut down for more than a month. It is not clear when the plant will be allowed to resume shipping beef to retailers in Canada or to export products to the United States. Ritz commented after trumpeting the expected passage of Bill S-11, the Safe Food for Canadians Act, in the House of Commons on Nov. 20.
The new bill
While it’s not a direct response to September’s XL Foods shutdown, the bill will, among other things, make it easier to track food shipped from processing plants so inspectors can more quickly deal with any problems, the minister said. The inspection agency was criticized last month for the time it took to announce a recall so potentially tainted beef could be taken off store shelves. Once it becomes law, S-11 would “help find products faster in recall situ-
ations so they can be removed from the shelves quicker,” Ritz said in a statement. Introduced in the Senate in June, the bill is intended to provide better oversight of food by making inspections more consistent, giving food inspectors more power to demand information
from producers and increasing penalties for companies that put consumer health and safety at risk. Maximum fines for health and safetyrelated offenses would increase to $5 million — or higher at a court’s discretion in the case of more serious offenses — up from the current maximum
of $250,000. It also would give the inspection agency the authority to require food producers and processors to set up systems to better track their products. It’s not clear when regulations that accompany the legislation are to be completed.

Soil health
NDSU initiative in Ag Expo spotlight ■
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
One of the marquee educational topics at this year’s Northern Ag Expo in Fargo, N.D., Nov. 27 and 28 will be North Dakota State University’s new Soil Health Initiative — the biggest research investment in area soils in the past decade. NDSU is showcasing a new Soil Health Initiative, financed by a $2 million biennial appropriation from the Legislature. It supports a half-dozen soil scientists on the NDSU campus and at its research extension centers throughout the state. The issue will be on the agenda at 2 p.m. Nov. 27 in the Fargodome meeting rooms. Frank Casey, director of NDSU’s School of Natural Resource Sciences, which includes the Soils Department, has helped hire a collection of researchers whose work will be financed primarily by the state grant, but those researchers also will work on associated projects for soil health. “Soil is never a commodity people can hang their hat on,” Casey says. “When you talk about corn, there’s discussion of developing different varieties to tolerate (pests) but when you get down to it, what are you left to grow that corn in? Your limitations as far as how you can breed it meet a limit. And that limit is the soil — the land itself.”
Good research and information
The new initiative is designed to get bright researchers out on the land to understand what is going on. “We can only handle this if we have good research about the soils, good information about management of land
resources,” Casey says. Researchers at the various research extension centers will have autonomy, but also will participate in the Soil Health Initiative, getting feedback and guidance from an advisory group. The group already has attracted $5 million in grants. “We’ve turned around a $2 million investment, and we’ve made $5 million off of a grant,” Casey says, adding that the group is pursuing more. The two researchers on the NDSU main campus leading the initiative are Abbey Wick in research and Ann Marie Fortuna in extension. Fortuna is looking at establishing demonstration locations throughout the state. Wick is anxious to build a web presence and extension service materials to take to the public — specific educational aspects tied to a locale. The biggest, most visible issue in soil health has been in salinity. “We’ve had a big moisture regime that’s come in through the state, a big influx of water moving through the soil profiles,” Casey says. “As that occurs, we have depositions of salts within the soil. You can see it by white, flaky residues. It’s dissolved solutes — saline soils and also sodic soils, which is a certain sodium molecule. Sodium actually will disperse the soils and really be a troublesome issue.” After a heavy rainfall, crusting occurs on the surface. “All the structure of the soil gets broken up and there is no structure in the soil at all,” Casey says. “It seals and then it just becomes a mass — it doesn’t have any kind of structure, the nice aggregation that you would want, to hold onto soil moisture, to soil nutrients. Salts really affect that, especially sodium-affected soils. “You also have saline, which is not ‘sodic’ necessarily,” Casey adds. “But that also affects the plants because if you have a plant in the soil and if there’s a lot of solutes, a lot of dissolved salts, it can’t maintain that turgor.” Translation: It’ll wilt.

Orange juice futures surge ■
Florida has cold winter forecast

The price of orange juice surged nov. 20 as balmy weather in Florida failed to quell concern about an expected winter freeze that could damage the state’s orange crop. Frozen orange juice concentrate for January delivery rose 4.95 cents, or 4.2 percent, to finish at $1.22 per pound. Trading was light, making the price more volatile. Traders have grown more interested in orange juice futures since the government predicted in October that it could be colder than normal from De-

Reducing insecticide use by identifying disease-carrying aphids
■ ITHACA, N.Y. – In work that could cut back on insecticide use, U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists have found a way to distinguish aphids that spread plant viruses from those that do not. The researchers used protein biomarkers to differentiate between virus-spreading and virus-free aphids. The findings mark the first time that protein biomarkers have been linked to an insect’s ability to transmit viruses. Aphid-transmitted viruses decrease crop yields and reduce the quality and quantity of fresh foods. Spraying insecticides can control aphids and reduce the incidence of some viruses, but not all aphids transmit viruses, and spraying is expensive and can harm the environment, people and animals. Agricultural Research Service scientists Michelle Cilia and Stewart Gray have found they can identify diseasecarrying aphids by examining the types of proteins in their cells. Cilia and Gray work in the Biological Integrated Pest Management Unit at the ARS Robert W. Holley Center for Agriculture and Health in Ithaca, N.Y. The researchers knew from previous work that for aphids to pick up and transmit viruses, the virus must be able to interact with specific aphid proteins that direct movement of the virus through the insect and back into a plant during feeding. By studying greenbug aphids in the laboratory, they discovered that the lab-raised insects’ ability to transmit yellow dwarf viruses was linked to the presence or absence of nine biomarker proteins found in the insect cells. They then analyzed greenbug aphids collected from cereal crops and noncultivated fields and found the aphids consistently transmitted yellow dwarf virus only when they carried most, if not all, of the nine proteins. Field samples were collected by ARS colleagues John Burd and Melissa Burrows at the agency’s Wheat, Peanut and Other Field Crops Research Unit in Stillwater, Okla. The aphid does not need all nine proteins to spread the virus, but there are some that are essential.

cember through February in Florida. Buyers are also interested because futures are about 45 percent less than in January, when they jumped after low levels of fungicide were found in orange juice products. The government said the juice was safe and did not
order a recall. The Florida crop is in good condition, and the weather in Brazil, a huge exporter of orange juice products, has helped, analysts say. “It’s kind of the best of both worlds because orange juice prices have been
beaten down, so you can buy them when they’re real cheap, but you can also have the chance of some real upside if you do get that surprise freeze,” says Spencer Patton, founder and chief investment officer of Steel Vine Investments LLC.

Ag Expo fixture returns
■
Soil scientist again on this year’s agenda
By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer
Dave Franzen says he made his first “big” appearance 18 years ago at the Northern Ag Expo. His topic was “All About Ammonia.” “I’d spoken at smaller field days around the area, but that (the 1994 Ag Expo) was my first big presentation,” says Franzen, the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s soil specialist who joined NDSU in June 1994. If you’ve attended the Franzen Northern Ag Expo in the past, you’ve probably heard Franzen speak on some aspect of soil fertility. He’s given a presentation at the event every year since his 1994 debut. The 42nd annual Northern Ag Expo will be held Nov. 27 and 28 at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D. Franzen will speak at 2 p.m. Nov. 28 His topics this year include planting in dry soil, monitoring potassium levels and the development of mathematical formulas linking optical sensing devices and yield estimates early in the growing season. Much of the Upper Midwest was gripped by a long wet cycle that ended this summer. So some area farmers are out of practice in planting in dry soil. A common concern among farmers is whether fields are too dry to make use of anhydrous ammonia, a widely used source of nitrogen, or “N” as it’s often

called. Nitrogen is crucial to plant growth. “It never gets too dry to use it (anhydrous ammonia). There’s always some water (in the soil). Don’t worry about that,” Franzen says. But when anhydrous ammonia isn’t applied properly, “There’s a serious danger of it being lost to the air,” he says. “If you see or smell anhydrous after it’s covered (by soil), it’s a problem.” In that case, farmers should dig at a deeper depth or come back when soil conditions are more conducive, he says. Area farmers also should monitor potassium levels in their fields, as it is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Historically, most fields in the area haven’t been short on potassium. “The rate of normal release from soil was pretty close to what small grains required,” Franzen says. Today, however, many farmers have switched from small grains to corn and soybeans, and the latter two require more potassium than small grains, he says. Potassium typically is supplied to fields in the form of potash fertilizer. Area farmers “generally don’t put any (potash) on. But now they’re going to have to look at it a lot closer, he says. Franzen also will talk about his work involving optical sensing equipment and yield estimates. His goal is helping farmers apply the right amount of fertilizer during the growing season. “It’s not completely futuristic. We’re not the first to do it. But we’re developing it for North Dakota. This will be ours,” he says of his research. As technology improves, farmers in North Dakota and elsewhere can finetune the amount of fertilizer applied on every square foot of a field. That way, they improve yields on good chunks of the field and don’t waste fertilizer on poor parts of the field that can’t utilize it.
REGIONAL NEWS MDA program facilitates safe disposal of waste pesticides
■ ST. PAUL – The Minnesota Department of Agriculture helped hundreds of Minnesotans safely dispose of more than 18 tons of unwanted, unusable or out-of-date pesticides in 2012 through its Waste Pesticide Collection Program. During the summer of 2012, MDA worked with local officials to organize a series of collection events around the state. This year, the collection events were offered in 35 counties. At each site, residents are invited to drop off waste pesticides. The collection events typically attract a wide range of people, including farmers, ag-chemical dealerships, golf course workers, nursery and garden center staff, and homeowners. The program is funded by a surcharge paid
to MDA by pesticide registrants, and the collection and disposal was provided at no cost to any of the participants. In addition to eliminating the 18 tons of agricultural waste pesticides from the state, MDA worked with counties to collect and remove more than 103 tons of household waste pesticides so far this year. Under an agreement with the state and most Minnesota counties, MDA pays for transportation, disposal and other costs. Since 1990, MDA’s Waste Pesticide Collection Program has safely collected, managed, and disposed of more than 2,500 tons of waste pesticide. The removal of unwanted pesticides helps protect the environment and human health and limits the risk of accidental release of product into the environment. Information: www.mda.state.mn.us.

Slaughterhouse settlement reached
Case led to biggest recall in US history ■
By Tracie Cone
ate fully with the Justice Department and the Humane Society of the United States in settling the litigation against the remaining seven defendants. Attorneys for the defendants and the Justice Department did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The $497 million settlement against
the bankrupt company will go unpaid, Lovvorn says. The amount was determined under the treble damages provision of the federal False Claims Act. “It’s a deterrence judgment,” Lovvorn says. “It informs other federal government contractors that when your contract says you provide humane
handling, if you don’t do that you’re likely to end up bankrupt, as well.” In the court papers, the plaintiffs alleged that the meatpacking plant slaughtered and processed downer cows from January 2004 to September 2007 at the average rate of one every six weeks.
Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. — A landmark $500 million settlement was reached in a slaughterhouse abuse case that led to the biggest meat recall in U.S. history in 2008. The civil settlement with the owners of Westland/Hallmark Meat Co. is the largest-ever penalty for an animal abuse case, and the first time federal fraud statutes have been used, according to the Humane Society of the United States, the lead plaintiff. The settlement is largely symbolic because the company is bankrupt. As a supplier of meats for the national school lunch program, the Southern California company had signed federal contracts certifying that it would provide humane treatment of animals sent there for slaughter. The animal welfare group filed a civil complaint in U.S. District Court in Riverside, Calif., in 2009, and the U.S. Justice Department intervened after research showed one of the packing plant partners had two felony convictions related to illegal industry practices. “This is a first-of-its-kind lawsuit regarding farm animals, the first time federal fraud statutes have been applied,” says Jonathan R. Lovvorn, chief counsel for animal protection litigation at the Humane Society of the United States. “When you look at the video, it’s about as far from humane treatment as you can get.” The widely circulated video shot by an undercover operative showed “downer cows” — those too weak or sick to walk — being dragged by chains, rammed by forklifts and sprayed with high-pressure water by employees who wanted them to stand and walk to slaughter at the Riverside County facility. Nearly 37 million pounds of the 143 million pounds recalled had gone to school lunch programs, and most had been eaten by the time of the recall. The recall cost taxpayers $150 million. The lawsuit alleged that the government paid the company money it was not entitled to because the company lied about meeting the conditions of its contracts.
The settlement
The partial settlement is with two of nine defendants in the case, Donald Hallmark Sr. and Donald Hallmark Jr. Under the terms, the father and son also have five years to pay $316,802, or the bulk of their remaining personal assets. They also have agreed to cooper-

New SD ag lab plans open house
Facility has multiple feed testing capabilities ■
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
South Dakota’s newest agricultural testing laboratory is settled in and opening up. South Dakota Agricultural Laboratories LLC in Brookings will hold an open house Nov. 30, says Regina Wixon, director and owner of the company. The event will run from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 1006 32 Ave., Suite 105, north of the Swiftel Center, just east of the intersection of Interstate 29 and U.S. Highway 14. Wixon says the laboratory employs more than 10 people, many key employees from the former Olson Agricultural Analytical Services Laboratory that had been located on the South Dakota State University campus. Wixon, an Iowa native who holds a doctorate in food science and
nutrition from SDSU, had worked in that laboratory until it was closed in April 2011 because of budgetary reasons. Lawrence Novotny, formerly with the Olson lab, is the quality assurance manager for the new lab. The new laboratory was opened Oct. 21, 2011, and has been gathering equipment and personnel. It is a “onestop shop” that emphasizes quality, Wixon says. It has analysis for pesticides, mycotoxins, feed, forage and fertilizer, as well as animal tissue, water, meat, drug and manure analysis. Samples are coming from all over the nation. Capabilities include liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, high-performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. “We are very wellrounded in that if you have feed analysis sample, we can do the fat, fiber, mineral, selenium and drug analysis,” Wixon says.

NDSU gets new agronomist
■
Rickertsen begins Jan. 14
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
FARGO, N.D. — John Rickertsen has been named a research agronomist at the North Dakota State University Research Extension Center in Hettinger. He will begin his new role Jan. 14. Rickertsen, 49, has been an agronomy field specialist with the South Dakota State University Extension Service at Rapid City Extension Center for 18 years. He was a research associate for western South Dakota, doing crops research including variety testing for small grains and worked in herbicide trials and a rotation study in Wall, S.D. He is originally from St. Paul, Neb., just north of Grand Island, where he
grew up on a corn and feedlot farm. He got his bachelor’s degree in agronomy and a master’s degree in 1989 in plant breeding and genetics at the University of Nebraska-LinRickertsen coln. He worked in the seed industry in various locations before going to SDSU. Rickertsen expects his research at Hettinger to further existing variety testing for small grains, as well as for alternative crops including dry peas and lentils. Agronomic studies may deal with how to best use fungicides and fertilizers in the area. Rickertsen replaces Erik Eriksmoen, who took a similar position at the NDSU North Central Research Extension Center in Minot.

Judge backs Calif. high-speed rail ■ By Juliet Williams Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A judge denied a request Nov. 16 from Central Valley farmers seeking to halt work on California’s ambitious high-speed rail project, allowing work on the $68 billion project to continue. Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Timothy Frawley denied a request for a preliminary injunction, saying that the agency overseeing the project “acted reasonably and in good faith” in trying to comply with California environmental law. Groups representing Central Valley farmers had hoped to stop the California High-Speed Rail Authority from all planning and engineering work because of their claims that the authority did not thoroughly weigh the potential environmental harms of the project. Frawley did not rule on the merits of their case, which is expected to be heard this spring, but says he was persuaded that the state generally sought to comply with California’s rigorous environmental laws, and that the potential harm to the state was much greater than the potential harm to farmers
Denies farmers’ request to halt development
along the route. The rail authority’s chairman, Dan Richard, applauded the decision. “Both the voters and the Legislature have spoken on high-speed rail,” he said in a statement. “The judge’s decision ensures that we can continue to move forward with our preparatory work to build the first segment of highspeed rail in the Central Valley, with a plan to break ground next summer.” In making his ruling, the judge acknowledged that California laws require an understanding of a project’s harm to the environment. Yet he said he did not feel there was sufficient reason to grant farmers a preliminary injunction, since actual construction is not slated to begin until July 2013.
State versus ag
The rail authority argued in court that the potential harm to the state for halting the massive transportation project was far greater than the objections of Central Valley farmers and landowners — up to $3.2 billion in federal funding if the bullet train does not meet federal deadlines, and $8 million to $10 million in higher construction costs.
WORTH THE INVESTMENT
“In this case — forgive me — we don’t really care what goes on statewide. We’re very concerned about what’s happening in our county, and what’s happening in our county is very real and it’s happening every day,” says Anja Raudabaugh, executive director of the Madera County Farm Bureau, one of the parties to the lawsuit. “My guys can’t get operating loans to plant trees next year. My guys can’t get operating loans to buy equipment for expanding their operations because they’re in the footprint of the alignment.” The decision allows the rail authority to begin buying land along the proposed route and continue with site surveys, engineering design and geological testing that began months ago. Jeff Morales, chief executive of the rail authority, says the agency takes farmers’ concerns seriously and wants to address them. With the court decision out of the way, “we can begin interacting with property owners much more directly and start working with them to address their particular concerns,” he says. The rail authority has already surveyed more than 300 parcels of land along the proposed route since Gov.
Jerry Brown signed legislation giving his approval in July. Lawmakers approved the first phase of the planned 800-mile line this summer, allowing the state to begin selling $2.6 billion in bonds for construction of the first 130-mile stretch of the bullet train in the Central Valley. That approval also allowed the state to tap $3.2 billion from the federal government. The money is contingent upon completing the first phase of the project by 2017, requiring what officials say is an unprecedented construction pace. Voters approved issuing $10 billion in bonds for the project in 2008, but public support for the plan has dwindled in recent years as the project’s expected costs have soared. The most recent estimate is at least $68 billion for the completed project linking Northern and Southern California. In one of their court filings, opponents said rail officials are spending furiously because they hope “to become so financially committed to the currently conceived section alignment that it will be unthinkable to later choose another course.”

SD lures dairy farmers from Wis.
Recruitment common in the industry ■
By Rick Barrett
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — Thirsty for milk, and the money that comes with it, South Dakota has ramped up efforts to recruit dairy farmers from other states and countries, including England, Ireland and The Netherlands. It was noticeable this fall at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, where representatives from the Mount Rushmore state made pitches to dairy farmers about why they should relocate. South Dakota isn’t alone in the recruitment game, as North Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Texas and other states attempt to prove they are the dairy industry’s next frontier. To a lesser degree, Wisconsin has sought dairy farmers from other states and countries. More often, though, Wisconsin’s status in the dairy industry has made it a target for others to recruit here. Simply put, “they want what we have,” says Shelly Mayer, a dairy farmer near Slinger and executive director of the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin. Mayer says she and her husband, Dwight, were recruited by Kansas with the offer of wide-open spaces, attractive to farmers who felt crowded by urban sprawl. “As a farm kid who grew up in southwestern Wisconsin, I miss some of that,” Mayer says. “You could say they have the open spaces and great big places, which is wonderful.” Some states have been recruiting dairy farmers for years. “I think the Dakotas are just getting more aggressive about it,” Mayer says. Two South Dakota dairy processors put up billboards in Tulare County, Calif., which has about 340,000 dairy cows, saying “All our cows in South Dakota are happy.”
The billboards followed an earlier ad campaign that touted South Dakota as a better place for dairy business because, unlike California, it doesn’t have quotas that limit milk production. “We think South Dakota is a good place to milk cows,” says state Agriculture Secretary Walter Bones. “Our state is one of those areas with tremendous untapped potential.” Earlier this year, South Dakota Gov. Dennis Dauggard went to California on a recruiting mission, telling reporters “we’re on a cattle roundup. So if you’re out there in the world of dairying and you’re looking for a place to plant your dairy, South Dakota is open for business.”
Missing amenities
But what the prairie states lack are amenities that Wisconsin has taken a century to develop, including 210 dairyproduct plants, related service businesses, technologies, animal genetics, animal health care, and an education system focused on dairy science and cheese making. “Wisconsin was the first place in the world to have a master cheesemaker program,” Mayer says. “California let people get trained here, and then said ‘come West young man.’ They were taking away our cheesemakers and our technology. But this is the place to be now.” Many farmers have deep roots in Wisconsin, too, including Waukesha County dairy farmer John Koepke, whose family has been here for 137 years and has been a farm employer for decades. “We have employed three generations of four different families. This is where the dairy industry needs to be,” Koepke says. Wisconsin has 12,100 licensed dairy farms, compared with fewer than 400 in South Dakota. Not intimidated, though, South Dakota officials have touted the opening of new cheese plants and dairy processing facilities as reasons why the state expects to double the size of its 90,000-cow dairy herd in the next five years. Some California farmers have shown interest in relocating to South Dakota
and elsewhere in the Upper Midwest as the cost of cattle feed has soared in Western states and it has become more expensive to do business because of taxes, regulations and rising land prices. “We think once they start coming, more will follow,” says Jon Davis, CEO of Davisco Food International, which has a cheese factory in South Dakota and backs the billboard campaign. South Dakota sells dairy products worldwide. Earlier this year, Bel Brands USA said it was building a $100 million cheese plant near Brookings, in the eastern part of the state, that will employ 400 people. “People have invested a lot of money in the processing industry here. The only piece of the puzzle that’s missing is the farms,” Davis says.
Tax appeal
The state’s industry has persuaded European dairy farmers to move here, and it helped a Costa Rican dairy operation relocate to the prairie, although that farm folded after a short time. Altogether, South Dakota has successfully recruited about 23 dairy farms in the last couple of years, most of them capable of handling 1,000 cows or more. The state doesn’t have a personal income tax, corporate tax, inventory tax or business tax. And, more than anything else, it has millions of acres of farmland suited for growing livestock feed. The rural landscape is one of the state’s strongest selling points. “Wisconsin is a pretty good place for dairy. But if you are in an area where urban sprawl is infringing on your ability to farm, South Dakota would be a good place to consider,” says David Skaggs, a dairy development specialist with the state’s agriculture department. “If someone from Wisconsin wants to come here, we would be all for it,” Skaggs says. “It’s just a tougher sell than recruiting someone from California.” The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has helped farmers move here, although state officials say it hasn’t been an aggressive campaign because

Wisconsin already has a well-established dairy industry that includes young farmers stepping up to take over farms that have been in their families for generations. It’s also not easy to relocate a dairy farm, since it often involves selling the old operation and going through a lengthy permit process to start a new one.
Established reputation
In fiscal 2011, the state Department of Agriculture provided assistance to farmers interested in relocating from California, Pennsylvania, Maryland and other states. Some of the help included farm visits and tours and “hand holding through the buying process,” officials say. The state also answered inquiries from farmers in Pakistan, Turkey, England, The Netherlands, Japan and Canada. When a milk quota system was scrapped in Europe, some farmers took government buyouts and immigrated to Wisconsin. “Our reputation is already established,” says Mike Powers, administrator of agricultural development in the state Agriculture Department. “People want to know why they should consider South Dakota or Colorado as a place to relocate, but we don’t have to explain that for Wisconsin.” South Dakota officials say the economic benefits of the dairy industry in their state are significant, even if they’re small by Wisconsin’s standards. Every dairy cow in the state, they say, adds $13,453 dollars a year to the economy. Davis, with Davisco International Foods, said his company would quit importing milk from Idaho if enough milk were available in South Dakota. The company says it’s one of the largest suppliers to Kraft Foods and that it exports products worldwide. It’s a daunting task to double the number of milk cows in a state in five years, even with new processing plants that make it more attractive to increase herd sizes. But, Davis says, “sometimes you got to shoot for the moon.”

Brussels sprouts renaissance ■
Crop value increasing
By Aaron Kinney McClatchy Tribune
HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — It’s like a scene from a childhood nightmare. There are vast fields of Brussels sprouts, with workers tossing plants bearing dozens of them onto a harvesting machine. Little green balls pile up in bins by the thousands. November is peak harvest season from Half Moon Bay to Watsonville, Calif., and the sprouts are in high demand. A remarkable transformation has occurred on this stretch of coast, considered ground zero for U.S. production of the vegetable: The sulfurous orbs that were once the bane of children’s dinner plates have evolved into a prized fall treat. The value of the local crop has skyrocketed in the past decade based in part, growers and distributors say, on a steady rise in the appetite for fresh Brussels sprouts. The pungent little cabbage is riding a wave of popularity thanks to culinary creativity, changing consumer habits and scientific research. Half Moon Bay farmers John Giusti and David Lea once sold about 80 percent of their sprouts to the frozen market. But in the past decade, the ratio has flipped, and they now sell that much or more of their crop fresh. Most of the sprouts are packed in Salinas, Calif., and trucked east. The rest make their way to grocery stores, farmers markets and restaurants closer to their farms. “It’s almost like a designer vegetable now, where they’re very desirable,” says Lea, who farms about 150 acres of sprouts. “Years ago, when we told people we were growing Brussels sprouts,

The turn of events
Local farmers say the Brussels sprouts renaissance began about 20 years ago and more than 5,000 miles away. Scientists at agribusiness giant Syngenta’s labs in the Netherlands began breeding different varieties in an attempt to mellow out the sprouts’ acrid taste. The program focused on compounds known as glucosinolates, says Peter van der Toorn, Syngenta’s director of vegetable breeding. The substance is responsible for the bitterness of the

Tera Langmade says her daughter’s attitude is much better than her own as a child. She regarded them simply as gross. But when she came across sprouts in a grocery store a few years ago, she gave them another try. “I’m still not fond of them if they’re not cooked right,” says Langmade, a vegetarian. “It’s all about the cooking with a lot of vegetables.”

Rising food prices
Some Dickinson, ND, grocery prices higher than average
By Katherine Grandstrand Forum Communications
DICKINSON, N.D. — The tale has spread that it’s possible to make a fortune out in the Bakken in North Dakota, but so has the tale of how it takes a fortune to live there. “I just came back from Orlando, (Fla.) with the National Association of Realtor meetings, and just visiting with the other Realtors and what they’re hearing about North Dakota; the only thing I didn’t like was when they said that we know we have a lot of jobs in North Dakota but it’s too expensive to live here,” says Shirley Dukart, Dickinson city commissioner and realtor. “I didn’t like that feeling that we were portraying here. I know the rents we can’t control and we can’t control motel charges, housing, you know, everything is pretty much free enterprise.” Food can be a giant expense in anyone’s budget, but those coming from other regions, especially metro areas,
are noticing a larger grocery bill. Teresa and Edgar Marquez, who moved here with their daughter, Emily, from Denver, have noticed their grocery bill has more than doubled while living in Dickinson. Noting the difference between Denver and Dickinson, Teresa says, “I would say $150 every two-and-a-half, two weeks and here it’s $300 every two weeks, and then during the week, I’m still coming back getting stuff because we didn’t get it while we were here.” Katelyn Schirado noticed that prices were higher in Dickinson than they were in Bismarck, N.D. A large part of the cost of groceries is transportation, says Tom Woodmansee, Bismarck-based North Dakota Grocers Association president. “(In) Bismarck, the warehouse is here,” he says. “So obviously you don’t have the transportation costs in Bismarck that you have for Dickinson.” The further a store is from the distribution center, the higher its overhead,
Woodmansee says. Add in the higher cost of labor in the Bakken and prices creep up even more.
In comparison
Where does Dickinson fall on the grocery price spectrum? Out of nine goods pulled recently (white bread, wheat bread, turkey, whole milk, apples, potatoes, sugar, margarine and coffee) for which October’s average prices were available through the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, six were higher in Dickinson than both the national and Midwest average, which consisted of prices from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. In two instances — wheat bread and turkey — the average price in Dickinson was lower than the national and Midwest average in October, but preThanksgiving sales could be a contributing factor. Sugar prices were about even, with Dickinson and the
Midwest average at 66 cents per pound, coming in 2 cents less than the national average. The Dickinson average price was determined by gathering prices of brand name and generic goods (where applicable) Saturday from Dan’s Super Market and Walmart. Pricing comes down to supply and demand, Woodmansee says. “Our retailers are very aware of what the community needs,” he says. “I can assure you they’re doing the best they can to keep their supplies there, but they have to depend upon the support system they have in place.” The Marquez family has had difficulty shopping at peak times and has had to split shopping between Dickinson’s two major grocers. “If we don’t come early in the morning or late at night, we don’t get any choices of vegetables or fruit or anything,” Teresa says.

Colder-than-average winter likely
South Dakota State University
BROOKINGS, S.D. — The chance of a colder-than-average winter for much of northeast South Dakota has increased, according to the Climate Prediction Center. “This is change from the winter outlook that has been forecast up until this point,” says Laura Edwards, South Dakota State University Extension climate field specialist. “There have been higher chances of warmer-than-average temperatures over the winter, but a shift in climate patterns over the Pacific Ocean have changed things for us.” Edwards says the rest of the state is projected to have equal chances of above, below or near normal temperatures for December, January and February. She explains that climatologists look to the Pacific Ocean for clues in what lies ahead for the coming season. Now that El Niño is no longer developing in the tropical region of the Pacific Ocean, climate forecasters are focusing their sights on the northern Pacific Ocean. “This is akin to looking upstream, to see what might be influencing atmospheric patterns that could move towards the northern Great Plains,” Edwards says. As far as precipitation goes, Edwards says the winter months have equal
chances for wetter, drier or near normal amounts of moisture. “This does not necessarily mean we will have an average year for snowfall, but that the probability is equal for all three scenarios. Winter is our driest time of year, so we don’t expect a drought buster from December through February,” she says. “South Dakota will need an extended period of above-average precipitation to recover from the current drought.” This is reflected in the U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook. “Previously, some improvement was forecast through January for the northern tier counties from Harding to Roberts,” says Dennis Todey, SDSU state climatologist. “Now, drought is projected to persist across the whole state through at least February.” Todey and Edwards agree that there is a fair amount of uncertainty this year in the climate model forecasts for the winter months of December, January and February. “Without El Niño or La Niña impacting us over the winter season, it is more challenging to come up with a strong forecast, and the models are struggling with precipitation in particular,” Todey says.

REGIONAL NEWS NDTO hosts Kazakhstan reverse trade mission
■ FARGO, N.D. – A delegation of 15 ranchers, farmers and cattle owners from Kazakhstan toured North Dakota Nov. 10 through 22 as part of an educational reverse trade mission organized by the North Dakota Trade Office. “Livestock is an exciting component of the diverse export industry in North Dakota,” says Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley. “Our state is blessed to have the resources to provide one-stop shopping for international purchasers of commodities, machinery and intellectual know-how. We are building the foundation for an even more robust export industry for North Dakota.” A number of delegation members have purchased North Dakota cattle or are in the process of buying livestock from the region. The reverse trade mission is focused on hands-on training from North Dakota ranchers to assist Kazakh cattle owners in properly handing cattle from the Midwest U.S. More than 5,000 Angus and Hereford cattle have been flown from Fargo to the former Soviet Republic countries, including Kazakhstan, with deals of thousands more in the works. The first shipment of cattle from North Dakota flew to Kazakhstan in 2010; in 2011, livestock exports from North Dakota to Kazakhstan doubled. The Kaza-

Barges on the Mississippi River ■ By Jim Salter
Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — The gentle whir of passing barges is as much a part of life in St. Louis as the Gateway Arch and the Cardinals, a constant, almost soothing backdrop to a community intricately intertwined with the Mississippi River. But next month, those barges packing such necessities as coal, farm products and petroleum could instead be parked along the river’s banks. The stubborn drought that has gripped the Midwest for much of the year has left the Mighty Mississippi critically low — and it will get even lower as the Army Corps of Engineers presses ahead with plans to reduce the flow from a Missouri River dam. The process began Nov. 23. Mississippi River interests fear the reduced flow will force a halt to barge traffic at the river’s midpoint. They warn the economic fallout will be enormous, potentially forcing job cuts, raising fuel costs and pinching the nation’s food supply. “This could be a major, major impact at crisis level,” says Debra Colbert, senior vice president of the Waterways Council, a public policy organization representing ports and shipping companies. “It is an economic crisis that is

going to ripple across the nation at a time when we’re trying to focus on recovery.” The corps will significantly reduce the amount of water released from the Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, S.D., a move to conserve water in the upper Missouri River basin also stung by the drought. The outflow, 36,500 cubic feet per second, is expected to be cut to 12,000 cubic feet per second over several days.
Dangerous levels
The Missouri flows gently into the Mississippi around a bend just north of St. Louis. From there, about 60 percent of the Mississippi River water typically comes from the Missouri. This year, because of the drought, the Mississippi is even more reliant on Missouri River water — 78 percent of the Mississippi River at St. Louis is water that originated from the Missouri. The Mississippi is so low there now that if it drops another 5 feet, barge traffic may shut down from St. Louis to the confluence of the Ohio River at Cairo, Ill., perhaps as soon as early December. Barges already are required to carry lighter loads. Major Gen. John Peabody, commander of the Mississippi Valley Divi-
sion of the corps, says the reduced Missouri River flow will remove 2 to 3 feet of depth of the Mississippi at St. Louis. To help offset that, he has authorized an emergency release of water from an upper Mississippi River reservoir in Minnesota. But that will add just 3 to 6 inches of depth at St. Louis. Corps officials responsible for the Missouri River say they have no choice but to reduce the flow. A congressionally authorized document known as the Missouri River Master Manual, completed about a decade ago, requires the corps to protect interests of the Missouri River. What happens on the Mississippi as a result is incidental. “We don’t believe we have the authority to operate for the Mississippi River,” says Jody Farhat, chief of the Water Management Division for the corps’ Northwest Division. Farhat says the drought is taking a toll on the upper Missouri River basin. Recreation is being hurt because the water is so shallow, she says. Indian artifacts normally under water are being exposed, making them prone to looters. And if the drought persists into next year as expected, hydropower could be impacted. As a result, she says, water behind the reservoirs must be conserved rather
than released.
Urging action
Fifteen senators from eight Mississippi River states urged the Army Corps of Engineers to take steps to keep barges moving on the Mississippi. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn have expressed concerns about the plan to cut the flow. The corps also plans to use explosives to remove two rock formations on the river bottom in southern Illinois that can impede barges during lowwater periods, though that work isn’t expected to start until February. Trade groups for river interests asked Barack Obama’s administration for a presidential declaration that would force the corps to maintain the existing Missouri River flow and expedite removal of the rock formations. Without a presidential declaration, Farhat says there’s little the corps can do, given the congressional mandate to work on behalf of the Missouri River basin. “Basically we have a manual and we’re required to follow it,” Farhat says. “And there’s nothing in that manual that talks about providing support to the Mississippi River.”
NATIONAL NEWS Sugar beets benefit from scientific support
■ KIMBERLY, Idaho – U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists are helping sugar beet producers increase yields, protect their produce from disease and boost profits. The research conducted by Agricultural Research Service scientists in Kimberly, Idaho, supports the USDA priority of promoting international food security. ARS plant pathologist Carl Strausbaugh and ARS molecular biologist Imad Eujayl have studied sugar beets from the field – where a strong wind can
twist tiny seedlings right out of the ground – to the processing factory. Some of their work has focused on the root disease called rhizomania, which is caused by beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) and reduces sugar levels in harvested beets. A single dominant gene in sugar beets helps protect the plant from rhizomania, but some strains of the virus have evolved to overcome this genetic resistance. For two years, the team grew approximately 30 commercial sugar beet varieties in fields that were naturally infested with BNYVV. Then they collected samples
from each variety – all of which showed some evidence of typical rhizomania infection – and calculated the average sugar content of each variety. After harvest, other beets grown in the experimental fields were stored either indoors or outdoors for more than four months. In a post-storage survey, the scientists found that the beets stored indoors had lost as much as 100 percent of their sugar content, and that the sugar content in beets stored outdoors had dropped as much as 60 percent. The scientists also observed that the beet varieties exhibiting
the greatest resistance to rhizomania and good storability – indicated by the lowest levels of fungal growth and lowest levels of weight loss from root damage – also had the highest sugar levels. The team also developed a set of genetic markers for beet curly top virus that plant breeders could use in developing curly top-resistant sugar beet varieties. They identified 11 genetic markers that were significantly associated with resistance to curly top and found that five of the 11 markers were linked to phenotypic resistance traits.
