Pipeline protesters win Pyrrhic victory

By Tom Dennis GRAND FORKS, N.D. — There’s a reason why Republicans soon will control not only the presidency, but also the Senate, the House, 33 governorships and both chambers in 32 states.

The reason can be found in the Dakota Access Pipeline case. With its elevation of identity politics above all else, its twisting of facts to accuse others of racism, its fanatic claim of being above the law and its wild exaggerations of environmental risk, the protest helps explain why so few Americans are willing to give the Left power.

The protesters won an important battle on Dec. 4, when their efforts convinced the Obama administration to block the pipeline. But it’s likely to be a Pyrrhic victory, not only because the Trump administration might reverse it, but also because it deepens the public’s distrust of

modern liberals’ governance.

Consider: For months, protesters have accused Bismarck residents of racism and used the charge to justify the anti-pipeline cause. That hurt: Racism is an explosive charge, and if, in fact, the pipeline had been rerouted because it was NSFW — Not Safe for Whites, in comedian Trevor Noah’s words — the project would have been discredited.

Not one syllable of such evidence surfaced. Just the opposite: Clearly, the Army Corps’ routing avoided cities, not “whites,� and put the pipeline through the rural Midwest — which is mostly populated by whites.

Why didn’t it matter that on its way toward skirting the Standing Rock Reservation, the pipeline passed near the North Dakota towns of Epping, Watford City, Halliday, Dodge, Golden Valley, New Salem and

Almont, among others? Or near dozens of other towns and past thousands more people on its way to Illinois?

It didn’t matter because evidence seldom matters, once the charge of racism is thrown.

As liberal columnist Froma Harrop recognized recently, “obsessive appeals to racial, ethnic, sexual and gender identity groupings are bad politics.� They work on occasion; they worked in this case. But they turn off voters by the millions, as the GOP’s dominance in statehouses shows.

It’s not just that protesters drove cars consuming oil enroute to blocking an oil pipeline. It’s also that by driving, they used machines that kill 33,000 a year, in order to protest a miniscule water-contamination risk. “There are 38,410 crude oil pipeline river and waterbody crossings in the

United States, including 1,079 in North Dakota,� as Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., noted on the Senate floor.

Human life involves risk, and if environmentalists want the public to believe their dire warnings about global warming, they should stop making an ordinary engineering project — a pipeline — sound like a crime.

The pipeline company followed the law, passed regulators’ muster, earned permits from the Army Corps and now finds itself blocked. That’s an outcome that appeals to some. But it’s extraordinarily dismaying for others—and there are enough of them, apparently, to have put Republicans in power across the land.

Minds must be open to community

By Meggie Foster GREENFIELD, Ind. — I felt compelled to respond to Katie Pinke’s recent column in Agweek (Dec. 5, page 6, “Do I Need to Renew My Membership?�).

I am 34 years old and an active and passionate member of my state farm bureau organization. But I also understand the realities of an aging and declining membership in ag and civic organizations across the country. I think it’s important to point out that many state organizations are getting it right when it comes to engaging young farmers and ag professionals. Indiana and Ohio Farm Bureaus are great examples of that, but there is still much work to be done.

As a young farmer, I would agree that it is challenging to propel young farmers into state and national leadership positions because they are just beginning their careers,

farming operations and many have young families at home.

From my experience, some young farmers are getting burnt out on farm bureau after years of involvement early on. After they reach the 36 year-old threshold, they are ready for a break and oftentimes promise the senior leaders they’ll be back.

For some that is true and for others, we never see them again.

My husband and I have had incredible opportunities through the young farmer program. We have experienced tremendous professional growth, and even grown within our relationship as husband and wife. My husband was recently elected president of our county farm bureau, and our county was ready for a new vision and a fresh approach to farm policy and leadership. It is an honor to be able to even have the opportunity to lead.

I understand not every member is willing to pass the torch to the next generation.

Many civic and farm organizations have realized the importance of engaging the younger generation just recently and have been playing catch up ever since. It is a difficult, but doable task.

Personally, I would like to see more organizations develop a mentor program and be more accommodating of young farmers who might also be working a full-time job. I work full-time off the farm, and my husband works full time at the farm — overtime most days of the week.

Many young farmers cannot attend day meetings, and evenings are set aside for family time. It’s a challenge, but that is one thing I have always loved about our state farm bureau organization — it is very family-friendly.

Kids are everywhere. Can we create an atmosphere and a

schedule not so traditional and continue on a track conductive to the overcommitted schedules of young farmers? Are we ready to host more web-based meetings?

Maybe not right now, but I do believe it’s a direction worth looking to.

While it is partly the responsibility of the older generation to groom and transition leadership positions to the next generation; young farmers and professionals also have to be open to the opportunity. We have to understand that if we don’t stand up for what we believe in, then we do not have a voice in creating a prosperous environment for our children to own and operate a business and raise their children someday.

The time is now.

Membership is important.

Every voice matters!

Cattle truck overturns near Larimore, N.D.

LARIMORE, N.D. — The winter storm slamming North Dakota and the upper Red River Valley caused a temporary closure of a major highway in Grand Forks County on Dec. 6 when a truck carrying cattle rolled.

The semi-truck hauling cattle rolled on U.S. Highway 2 near mile marker 325 at Larimore, causing the road to be temporarily closed, according to Sgt. Andy Schneider with the sheriff’s office.

Up to 2,000 hogs die in Minnesota barn fire

KERKHOVEN, Minn. — Firefighters from five central Minnesota fire departments worked together for several hours Tuesday afternoon in bitter cold temperatures and blowing winds to battle a barn fire off U.S. Highway 12 where an estimated 1,500 to 2,000 hogs were killed.

Grant Krieger, who owns the prop-

erty, said shortly before the fire, power had been out on the property as electrical crews worked on an in-ground power line nearby.

Krieger said he thinks the fire may have started when the power was turned back on, sparked by a space heater in the barn. Swift County Sheriff John Holtz said via email that the fire was reported around 2:20 p.m. Dec. 6.

VP of Weather Modification Inc. dies in plane crash FARGO, N.D. — The pilot who died in a plane crash south of Fargo, N.D., Dec. 1, reported an onboard fire shortly before the crash, according to a preliminary investigative report released by the National Transportation Safety Board.

Hans Ahlness, 55, was the lone occupant of the Cessna 340 that crashed near the Wild Rice River about 10 miles south of Fargo’s Hector International Airport.

The NTSB’s preliminary report states that Ahlness, who was vice president of operations for Fargo-based Weather Modification Inc., was under contract with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and was taking air samples

at various altitudes over Carrington, N.D., before the crash.

Ahlness was returning to the Fargo airport when the Cessna “overshot the runway 36 localizer,� the NTSB report states.

Shortly thereafter, Ahlness reported an onboard fire and the plane, which was at 1,700 feet above the ground, quickly lost altitude and radar contact was lost, according to the report. Evidence at the crash site was consistent with a plane striking the ground at high speed, the report states.

There was also a ground fire after impact, the report states.

Cattle jam WISHEK, N.D. — Like most days, I was in a hurry. I had a limited amount of time and a 175-mile drive to Fargo ahead of me. Except for the occasional pheasants or deer, it was just me and the open road on Highway 30 in south-central North Dakota. Since I can drive 50 miles on this stretch of highway without seeing another vehicle, I had the Christmas music cranked to keep me company.

I popped over a hill and, much to my surprise, there was a herd of Red Angus cattle being pushed north ahead of me. A man on a four-wheeler, an aggressive but obedient cow dog and a woman with several young sidekicks in a pickup were working together to herd the cows.

There was no way I could drive around or through them on the two-lane highway. I had to slow down to a crawl and wait.

Rather than just wait it out as the cows sauntered along, I pulled closer to the herd to help keep them from darting off into ditches or pastures on either side of the highway.

Another pickup pulled up alongside me. The driver rolled down his window and asked if I was here to help. I replied no, I was trying to get to Fargo. He looked at me and said, “Oh hey.

Are you Hunter’s mom?”

Hunter has been at college since early July. He’s only been home once in five months. Thankfully, we see him often when we drive to Grand Forks for University of North Dakota football games, when I visit the Agweek office in Grand Forks or when we meet him at my parents’ farm. I miss him terribly, though I don’t tell him that too often because I know it’s important for him to immerse himself in a new life chapter.

That fact I was asked if I was Hunter’s mom in a cowherding traffic jam reminded me why we choose to live in rural America and how that choice influences us to the core. As counterintuitive as it seems, wide open spaces have a way of encouraging us to slow down.

At Thanksgiving, Hunter and six fellow UND football players gathered at my parents’ farm. Most of the boys are from the Milwaukee and Madison, Wis., areas, and one is from Denver, Colo. Metropolitan traffic jams are nothing new to them; in fact, they were passing around an aerial photo of Los Angeles I-5 congestion, bumper to bumper traffic with white headlights in one direction and red brake lights on the other side. I’m certain they’ve never experienced traffic coming to a halt because of a cattle drive, though.

After a Thanksgiving feast, the football players headed outside for tractor rides from my dad and country drives in the utility vehicle with Hunter. The next morning, they enjoyed hunting coyotes before heading back to Grand Forks for practice. The wide open spaces gave them an opportunity to slow down.

Lately, it’s been easy to get caught up in the negativity that seems to overwhelm our communities, states and country.

I challenge you to slow down, even if it’s inconvenient, to appreciate where you’re planted. Take time to enjoy a community Christmas program, even if you don’t know anyone singing. The Salvation Army is always looking for bell ringers.

Toys for Tots is taking donations. I’m sure there are numerous other ways you can slow down and lend a hand in your community.

There’s no way you can attend every celebration during the Christmas season, but make time to slow down and enjoy just one or two. Invite a friend or neighbor to join you. Let’s choose to focus on the goodness in our lives rather than the bad.

All it took was a 10-minute traffic jam — the best type of traffic jam — to refocus my thoughts on the goodness around me. I’ll share more about the causes dear to my heart in my community and state in next week’s column.

I’ve enjoyed hearing from many of you recently. Keep the feedback and comments coming, whether we agree or disagree.

Discipline key to farmers’ financial success

By Jonathan Knutson $JZHHN 6WDႇ :ULWHU GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Farmers and ranchers need to take out sentiment and emotion to make sound financial decisions, relying instead on discipline and sound tools, two extension specialists say. “There’s probably more emotion in farming than other business.

But it is a business, and you need to be disciplined when you make financial decisions,� said Nathan Hulinsky, a Marshall, Minn.-based educator with University of Minnesota Extension.

He and Pauline Van Nurden, a Willmar, Minn.-based educator with University of Minnesota Extension, spoke Wednesday at the annu-

al Prairie Grains Conference in Grand Forks, N.D. They led a session on “Taking Charge of Your Finances: How to Survive & Thrive� even in tough financial conditions.

The two-day event, which ends Thursday, normally attracts about 900 people. It crosses commodity and state lines, drawing people primarily from northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota — an area pounded by a winter storm this week.

Organizers decided to hold the event anyway, and attendance — scant Wednesday morning — picked up in the afternoon as travel conditions and roads, especially in rural areas, improved.

More than 50 people, the great majority relatively young farmers, attended the session on

financial planning. It was billed as primarily for “the next generation� of producers, with others welcome as well.

Most of the comments and questions at the session came from older producers.

Hulinsky and Van Nurden used material from U of M Extension’s Finpack, a comprehensive farm financial planning and analysis software package.

The material features a hypothetical, but representative, Minnesota farm family that raises corn and soybean on 1,250 acres The family wants a $500,000 operating loan for 2017 — up from a 2016 operating loan of $125,000.

It also wants to borrow $27,000 to buy a $30,000 roller: the family would put down 10 percent, or $3,000, of the purchase price. The family’s thinking is, a bigger operating loan would provide more breathing space in paying 2017 expenses and

a roller would improve soybean yields. In the past, the family had a neighbor custom-roll its soybean ground.

Participants in the session were asked whether they would approve the loans if they were bankers.

Hulinsky and Van Nurden then led the participants through a series of exercises that determined the hypothetical family’s balance sheet and income statement, among other financial tools used by bankers. “It all comes back to looking at these decisions from what makes financial sense, not what you’d like to do,�

Hulinsky said.

2017 weather outlook: slightly cooler, drier

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Daryl Ritchison didn’t expect drought in 2016 in North Dakota. He was right.

In fact, generally favorable growing conditions allowed many farmers to enjoy record yields.

Ritchison, interim director of the North Dakota Agricultural Weather Network, doesn’t expect drought in 2017 either. But he does anticipate the next growing season will be slightly drier and cooler than average.

Ritchison spoke Dec. 8 at the 2016 Prairie Grains Conference in Grand Forks, N.D. The annual two-day event, which began Dec. 7 at the Alerus Center, normally draws about 900 people. It crosses state and commodity lines and is considered by some to be the unofficial start of the region’s winter ag meeting season.

Roughly 500 people were estimated to attend this year’s event. A winter storm that hammered the area held down attendance.

Many of those who did attend on Dec. 8 rose unusually early and braved difficult driving conditions to make the trip, said David Torgerson, executive director of the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers, one of eight organizations that sponsored the event.

“They’re very dedicated,” he said of people who attended.

The other sponsoring organizations were the North Dakota Barley Council, Minnesota Barley Council, Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, Northland

Community & Technical College, Minnesota Farm Bureau and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association.

The conference covered many ag and ag-related topics, ranging from water management to nutrient needs for crops. The advance look at the coming year’s weather is considered a highlight of the annual event.

Ritchison’s predictions for the 2017 crop season include: A cooler and wetter spring, which would delay the start of planting. “I doubt many farmers will be out on April 5 next year.”

A summer with an average temperature that will be 0.5 degrees warmer than average to 1 degree cooler than average.

A summer with 80 percent to 110 percent of average rainfall.

200 to 250 fewer growing degree days than in 2016. Growing degree days are a measure of heat accumulation that influence crop development.

“You had more sunshine last summer than in most summers,” he said.

“Next year probably will be cloudier.”

“So next summer not only will we probably be a smidge cooler, we’ll probably be a smidge cloudier,” he said. “So we’ll have slightly less solar radiation by 2 or 3 percent, which also will be an impact, probably, on yields.”

But his forecast is subject to change, as new information becomes available.

“I can change my mind,” he said.

“I want my last forecast to be my best forecast.”

Minn-Dak announces payments

By Mikkel Pates $JZHHN 6WDႇ :ULWHU WAHPETON, N.D. — Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative sugar beet growers are struggling financially this year, despite producing a tonnage in 2016 — but offset by low sugar content and low sugar prices.

Kurt Wickstrom, president and CEO of Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative, speaking at the company’s annual meeting Dec. 6 in Fargo, N.D., said the co-op brought in 3.264 million tons, a record high for the cooperative. The company recently announced a net beet payment of $32.50 per ton. The co-op is down about $11 per ton from what they would have had, if not for crop disease problems and low selling prices for sugar. That payment is based on 115,000 acres times 28.4 tons per planted acre, or $106 million.

In 2016, the co-op produced a record crop of 28.3 tons per planted acre, and 32.4 per harvested acre. Wickstrom said many will find it a “challenge to break even this year, even though they’ve harvested the largest crop of their entire farming career.�

Cercospora leaf spot disease played a large factor in cutting sugar content in beets. The crop ended up at 15.75 percent sugar, which is less than the eight-year average between 17.25 and 17.5 percent. Only one crop in the past 20 years (2009) had sugar content as low. “Even though our growers sprayed five to six times this past growing season, it was just really difficult to get ahead and stay ahead because of the high infection rates,� he said.

The co-op is studying whether the cercospora-affected beets will store the same as a normal crop. The last time the co-op had a cercospora infestation was 1998. So far, the storage conditions of the beet piles are good.

The company instituted a policy of using root temperature probes when beets were being delivered, and the beets went into the pile at a cool temperature and fully hydrated.

One of the strains of cercospora disease became resistant to one of the strains of fungicide, which took the industry by surprise. “We lost an important tool in the toolbox,� Wickstrom said. “If growers spray that again next year, it’ll be like spraying water.�

The industry is working with seed companies to help find resistant genetics.

Looking ahead, Minn-Dak increased the deep-freeze capacity of the company, meaning 15 of 21 piles are ventilated. That means 1.6 million tons will have long-term processing protection, to allow safe processing “well into May.�

The co-op is also hoping federal officials that regulate U.S. sugar imports will renegotiate “suspension agreements� with Mexico, which cal-

ibrated the amount of refined versus raw sugar coming into the U.S. from Mexico. Domestic suppliers need a “more balanced position,� he said.

The refined sugar price for the 2016 crop is likely to be down $1.80 per hundredweight compared to the 2015 crop. “Right now, our market is oversupplied with refined sugar,�

Wickstrom said, noting the projected carryout or surplus remaining after expected sales, is about 17 percent of the 2016 crop. “We think that a balanced market is between 11 percent and 13.5 percent,� he said.

Wickstrom said the company plans to cut its initial planting acres by 9.1 percent to 105,000 acres in 2017 from 115,000 acres. The board will likely review the appropriate-

ness of those cuts.

The 2015 crop was “extremely disappointing� with significant pile losses and costs because of storability issues. The final payment was $35.31 per ton, based on average sugar content. The total net payment was $935 an acre, over 112,000 acres, with no unit retains.

Brent Davison, the co-op’s chairman of the board, said the crop was exceptional but the price disappointing. “I think the most hope we have in the near future is getting something done with the Mexican agreement,� he said. Solving the cercospora issue will take time, but farmers will need to tank mix chemicals they hadn’t in the past, and will have to look more closely at variety selection.

COVER STORY

$44 million facility could be a game changer

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer MOORHEAD, Minn. — American Crystal Sugar Co. is completing a $44 million sugar dome warehouse near Chicago — a new sales and marketing tool ready just in time for the holidays.

American Crystal is building and will own the transload facility, with its 160-foot-tall, 1.3-million-hundredweight dome. It is designed to bring sugar closer to the customer in the greater Chicago market, cutting costs and time.

United Sugars Corp. will lease it from American Crystal and will maintain it. The marketing and sales company held a grand opening for customers on Nov. 16, and the first loads are staged and expected to start running through the facility in mid-December, officials say.

Based in Bloomington, Minn., United Sugars is the biggest sugar marketing company in the country. It sells sugar for American Crystal of Moorhead, Minn.; Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative of Wahpeton, N.D.; and U.S. Sugar Corp. of Clewiston, Fla. Sugar is one of the signature crops of the Red River Valley, boasting what is now about a $5 billion economic impact in the region. It is the quintessential value-added enterprise, where farmers own processing facilities.

American Crystal is the largest beet sugar producer in the U.S., and its cane-producing marketing partner, U.S. Sugar Corp., is the largest producer of sugar cane in the U.S. It is owned by its employees and charitable foundations.

Matt Wineinger, president and CEO of United Sugars, says Chicago is by far the largest distribution point for sugar coming out of the Red River Valley. “It’s going to account for 20 to 25 percent of the sugar we ship from this area,” he says.

Cutting risk

The intent is to avoid the risk in logistics. In 2014, the company had to idle three of its processing factories for two weeks because they were full and couldn’t get rail service to pull the production away from the factories.

The new facility means American Crystal and its allies will be able to move sugar out of the valley, at a time when they have rail capacity and the company is full on sugar. In the past, the company has put sugar in box totes in warehouses rather than leav-

Aaron Bjerke, American Crystal’s business development manager, is trained as a construction engineer.

“United Sugars had been looking at this for a number of years,” Bjerke says. “They had been looking for locations where BNSF would have the ability to supply a new customer with

the number of cars we needed — roughly up to 24 cars a day.”

The company considered various building styles, including the Weibull structures at American Crystal facilities in Hillsboro, N.D., and elsewhere. They also considered a slipform concrete structure, familiar to farmers as grain elevators, but the dome came out on top for building and equipment costs. A set of silos would require four sets of conveyors and sweeps.

“With the dome, we have one set of screw conveyors coming to and from it, and one sweep inside.”

Track record

Domes have been built for almost 30 years around the world. Initially, they were built for non-food materials. Now, with new coating technologies, they’ve been able to make them for food use. This is the third sugar dome made by Dome Technology of East Idaho Falls, Idaho. The company has built similar sugar domes next to refineries in Guatemala and Hungary.

The American Crystal dome started with an AirForm — tough, multi-layered fabric form that is plastic on the outside — which takes about 30-member crew to inflate it.

They stretched the material across a 185-foot-diameter base and inflated it overnight under calm winds on March 29. The AirForm includes 75,000 square feet of interior surface and weighs 25,000 pounds — or about 12.5 tons.

The crews pre-positioned rebar and a 70-ton crane inside. Construction took about six months.

First, they sprayed about 2 inches of foam for insulation around the inside of the form. Then, they started erecting rebar — one-inch diameter reinforcing steel bar — and sprayed it with a high-velocity “shootable” concrete, he says. “The amount of rebar in the project, just inside the dome, was equal to 27 truckloads,” Bjerke says.

The inflators were taken off around July 4, when the concrete cured enough to hold the dome up.

The dome’s concrete is about 12 inches thick at the base and about 8 inches thick at the top. Near the top there is a circle of six, 500-squarefoot “explosion vents” — about the size of a two-garage car, each. In the case of an explosion, the vents would

“It’s an incredibly efficient structure for load,” Bjerke says.

Highly efficient The sugar comes into the facility in train cars and is conveyed up and across in “bridge tube.” The bridge puts 75,000 pounds on the top of the dome, but it’s designed to take up to 500,000 tons.

The dome includes an air lock on the top, which prevents air from passing through the screw conveyors to the air lock below it. Everything that handles sugar has dust collection explosion suppression equipment.

The new dome has temperature sensors on the bearings, alignment switches in bucket elevators, dust collection on everything, and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) cannons equipped with pressure sensors. “If a bucket elevator were to have a hot spot that would create a combustible dust explosion, it senses an explosion wave,”Bjerke says. “Those cannons are like fire extinguishers that shoot a baking soda-like product on to stop a chain of explosions.”

The walls of the dome are equipped with heat-trace cables. “The dome has about 50 circuits of heat-trace cable embedded in the concrete of the walls to keep the walls warm, so we don’t have any condensation,” which makes sugar clumpy and hard, Bjerke

says. The air above the sugar in the dome is conditioned to 55 percent relative humidity and cooled or heated to 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

The dome base has an access door for maintenance. The door weighs 11 tons and is opened with a forklift for maintenance, as needed.

The dome is built without foundation pilings.

“In the Red River Valley, it would be more of an issue because we have 150 feet of clay under us, while this facility had 35 to 40 feet of sand and gravel underneath it.,” Bjerke says.

“The dome can settle and will settle.”

A large screw conveyor lies at the bottom of the dome — 85 feet long and 5 feet tall — designed to retrieve product that doesn’t naturally flow through the floor hoppers.

Ironically, American Crystal has a lot of experience in moving sugar, but has never before had to unload a bulk rail car before, Bjerke says, so customers have offered advice.

Rail-to-truck The unload capacity is 24 rail cars of bulk sugar a day. “We’ll be able to bring in 12 cars, twice a day, and unload one car per hour,” Bjerke says. “We’ll fill the dome in about five weeks at that unload rate, which is 650 rail cars of sugar. One specialty foods rail car holds about 2,000 hundredweight of sugar.

The unload system includes special “boots” that detach and seal off the rail car bottoms into the basement “pit” below. The pit is 35 to 40 feet deep with three-foot thick walls to keep the ground water out.

They’re below the water table, but have a high-capacity sump system that takes 200 gallons per minute.

Sugar comes from the bottom of a rail car. A screw conveyor takes it across a trans-load facility. Finally, the sugar goes into a bucket elevator that is 205 feet tall. From there, it drops into a screw-tube that goes through the gangway — a 12-foot diameter tube that leads to the top of the dome. Crews installed the 140,000-pound tube with a 600-ton crane.

The sugar goes through a 30-by-30 foot head house structure at the top of the dome, which includes a magnet to ensure the sugar is pure before going into storage. It is distributed into the dome with five spouts.

On the outgoing side, the transload facility handles six trucks parked inside. Two are in a pre-load condition — two are on top of the scales, and two are in an exit position. The facility has the ability to bypass the dome and take sugar from a rail car to a truck, but that would be an exception.

Filling time

Filling time is from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28. “We will fill it and hold it at capacity — putting as much in as we take out — from February through May, when slice closes up here,” Wineinger says. “We’ll ship out of that facility to about zero until time when the new crop starts shipping in the fall of the following year.”

“The dome can be filled and emptied multiple times a year, if necessary to feed customer demand,” he says.

Bjerke says that, as a cooperative, American Crystal has done most of what it can do internally to save costs in its operations back home.

The co-op also looks back to the farm level to save costs, through cooperation with grower-shareholders. This move helps the company extend efficiency toward its customers.

“How can we increase revenue?

Increase customer supply and satisfaction and save some costs on the marketing and distribution side,” he says. “That’s really what this does.”

Additionally, Bjerke says the property is organized so that they could build a second dome, if it works as well as planned.

‘Wild ride’ in ag ahead

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer GRAND FORKS, N.D. — If you’re involved with U.S agriculture, “Fasten your seatbelt and get ready for a wild ride,” said a veteran farm policy reporter.

“The next four years are going to be very exciting” under the Trump administration, said Sara Wyant, president of Agri-Pulse Communications Co., which offers a newsletter and website with updates on farm policy and other ag topics.

Wyant spoke Dec. 8 at the 2016 Prairie Grains Conference at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, N.D. It was sponsored by eight organizations: the Minnesota Association of Wheat Growers, the North Dakota Barley Council, the Minnesota Barley Council, Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, Northland Community

& Technical College, Minnesota Farm Bureau and the North Dakota Grain Growers Association.

Donald Trump’s election, partly the result of strong support from Midwest agriculturalists, reflected a “desire for change, and that’s what people voted for,” Wyant said.

Trump’s “ability to govern may show some contrast to the rhetoric we saw on the campaign trail,” she said, noting he should be helped by Republican control of the Senate and House.

Trump listens carefully and is well prepared in those meetings, Wyant said she’s been told.

Trump’s efforts to reduce regulation — which most in ag say they want and which Trump said is a top goal — will be watched carefully by agriculturalists, she said “I’m confident you will see regulatory reform,” although the specifics of when and how that happens remain to be seen,

she said.

Wyant said she’s confident the controversial Waters of the U.S. rule, which farmers and farm groups generally oppose, will be scrapped.

Trump’s efforts on trade also will be watched carefully, particularly since exports are vital to many U.S. ag products.

Trump will have a “real focus on redoing trade reals. For the ag community, this could be really good or it could be really problematic,” she said.

Renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement could be particularly impactful on U.S. ag, since Canada and Mexico are key markets for U.S. ag products, she said.

Trump’s message on trade has been that he can make a better deal. “I believe a lot of people in agriculture will be saying, ‘Trust but verify,’” Wyant said.

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., is a strong contender for a position, possibly Agriculture Secre-

Sara Wyant presented a perspective detailing her expectations of the impact President-elect Donald Trump will have on federal agriculture policy to attendees of the 2016 Prairie Grains conference Dec. 8 at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, N.D. tary, in the Trump administration, she said.

‘Circle of advocacy’ Wyant encouraged agriculturalists to have a “circle of advocacy” in their local community.

“We have to talk to the people who are closest to us about

what is happening with technology, productivity, protection of animals, protection of natural resources, within our communities. Because if we don’t, how do we expect those in suburban or urban areas to understand what’s happening in agriculture?” she said.

Trump to pick foe of Obama climate agenda to run EPA

Reuters WASHINGTON — Donald Trump will name Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, an ardent opponent of President Barack Obama’s measures to curb climate change, as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, a Trump transition team official said Dec. 7, a choice that enraged green activists and cheered the oil industry.

Trump’s choice of Pruitt fits neatly with the Republican president-elect’s promise to cut back the EPA and free up drilling and coal mining, and signals the likely rollback of much of Obama’s environmental agenda.

Since becoming the top prosecutor for the major oil- and gas-producing state in 2011, Pruitt, 48, has launched multiple lawsuits against regulations put forward by the agency he is now poised to lead, suing to block federal measures to reduce smog and curb toxic emissions from power plants.

He is also a leading figure in a legal effort by several states to throw out the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, the centerpiece of Obama’s climate change strategy that requires states to curb carbon output.

In an interview with Reuters in September, Pruitt said he sees the Clean Power Plan as a form of federal “coercion and commandeering” of energy policy, and that his state should have “sovereignty to make decisions for its own markets.”

Pruitt has also said he is skeptical of climate change. In an opinion piece in an Oklahoma newspaper this year, he wrote that he thinks the debate over global warming is “far from settled,” and that scientists continue to disagree on the issue.

An overwhelming majority of scientists around the world say man-made emissions are warming the planet.

The Obama administration finalized the Clean Power Plan in 2015 as a key part of meeting U.S. obligations under the Paris Climate Agreement, an accord among nearly 200 countries to curb global warming. Many scientists say warming is causing rising sea levels, drought, and an increase in ferocious storms.

Trump vowed during his campaign to pull the U.S. out of the Paris deal, saying it would put American businesses at a competitive disadvantage.

Since the election, however, Trump has said he will keep an “open mind” about the climate deal, and also met with former Vice President Al Gore, a leading climate change activist.

Trump, a real estate magnate who

‘Fox guarding the henhouse’ Environmental groups and former Obama officials bristled at the choice of Pruitt, and some lawmakers, including U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, said they would fight his nomination.

“Scott Pruitt running the EPA is like the fox guarding the henhouse,” said Gene Karpinski, president of the League of Conservation Voters, which supported Trump’s opponent in the election, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“Time and again, he has fought to pad the profits of Big Polluters at the expense of public health,” Karpinski said.

Heather Zichal, a former deputy assistant to the president for energy

and climate change under Obama, said Trump’s choice was alarming.

“You can meet with Al Gore on Monday, pledge to keep Teddy Roosevelt’s environmental legacy alive on Tuesday, but if you nominate the Clean Power Act’s leading opponent to head the EPA on Wednesday, you’re making an unequivocal statement about the direction of your leadership,” she said.

Sanders, who campaigned for the Democratic nomination for president on a promise to combat climate change, said he will “vigorously oppose” Pruitt’s nomination. The EPA position must be confirmed by a vote in the U.S. Senate.

But representatives of the oil industry, and some Republican lawmakers, were cheered by the pick.

Scott Segal, an energy industry lobbyist at Bracewell LLP called Pruitt “a measured and articulate student of

environmental law and policy” who helped “keep EPA faithful to its statutory authority and respectful of the role of the states in our system of cooperative federalism.”

U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, also a climate change skeptic, said “Pruitt has fought back against unconstitutional and overzealous environmental regulations like Waters of the U.S. and the Clean Power Plan; he has proven that being a good steward of the environment does not mean burdening taxpayers and businesses with red tape.”

Trump aides praised Pruitt’s conservative record.

“Attorney General Pruitt has a strong conservative record as a state prosecutor and has demonstrated a familiarity with laws and regulations impacting a large energy resource state,” one of the aides said on a transition team briefing call on Dec. 7.

Another large dairy farm planned for western Minn.

Forum News Service KERKHOVEN, Minn. — Riverview Dairy LLP of Morris, Minn., is proposing to construct a fourth large dairy farm west of Willmar, Minn.

Louriston Dairy is proposed for a 127-acre site in Louriston Township of Chippewa County near the intersection of County Road 3 and Minnesota Highway 40, which is about seven miles southwest of Kerkhoven.

Riverview is seeking to permit the operation for 9,500 animal units, which would consist of 8,670 dairy cows and 1,180 heifers.

The company currently operates three other similar-sized dairies in Kandiyohi and Swift counties west of Willmar: the East Dublin, West Dublin and Meadow Star operations. It also operates two farms each permitted for 5,880 calves known as Chippewa Calves and Hawk Creek Calves in this area. It also operates dairies in the Morris area, as well as beef operations in South Dakota and Nebraska.

A public comment period on an environmental assessment worksheet for the Louriston Dairy project opened Dec. 5 and continues through Jan. 4.

The free-stall dairy operation is projected to produce 84 million gal-

lons of liquid manure each year. The company has 10,500 acres available for manure application, according to its permit application.

The dairy will send 56-semi loads of milk per week to a milk processing plant. With feed and other deliveries, the site is estimated to generate a traffic count of 38 vehicles per day.

On-site housing for employees will be provided.

There are six residences located within one mile of the boundaries of the dairy farm. The location does not meet the minimum setback required

by Chippewa County of three-fourths of a mile from residences, but the owners of the affected residences have signed waivers to allow the dairy.

The dairy will require three wells to provide a capacity of 120 million gallons of water per year.

Emissions of odors and hydrogen sulfide from the dairy will meet Minnesota air standards, according to a report for the project by Barr Engineering.

The worksheet for this project is available on the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency website at pca.state. mn.us.

N.D. budget outlines need for cuts, priorities

By Amy Dalrymple Forum News Service BISMARCK — Gov. Jack Dalrymple outlined a budget proposal Dec. 7 that makes cuts to balance a budget affected by a collapse in commodity prices, but invests in key priorities, builds reserves and includes no tax increases.

Dalrymple, giving his final budget address to state legislators, noted that oil prices and agriculture prices are significantly lower since he delivered his most recent budget proposal. Before the 2015 legislative session, increasing oil production and high oil prices coupled with a strong farm economy fueled record spending and record reserves.

“The kinds of price drops experienced in our two major industries of energy and agriculture are best described not as a correction but rather a collapse,” Dalrymple said. “Our economic advisers have told us there is no similar state in the nation that could have weath-

ered such a collapse in commodity prices without serious impacts on their financial condition.”

The budget includes $4.78 billion in general fund spending, a 21 percent reduction from the current biennium. The budget serves as a two-year spending plan, beginning July 1 and extending through June 30, 2019.

Dalrymple said despite the cuts, the state will continue to invest in roads, bridges and water projects, although at a lower level than during the peak of the oil boom.

The proposal also will continues reductions made in recent years to income and property taxes and increases total financial reserves by $1.1 billion.

Dalrymple noted at the start of his speech the price of crude oil in August 2014 was $100 per barrel compared to $30 a barrel last February. He also noted the price of soybeans in May 2014 was nearly $15 a bushel compared to $8.76 a bushel last February.

Hog prices join corn, wheat at 10-year lows

CALL TODAY

1-800-6572 EXT: 1230 OR 701-780-1230

By Debra Levey Larson University of Illinois URBANA, Ill. — For many producers of agricultural commodities, prices are a key driver of their financial well-being. Wide-ranging price movements over time can vastly alter their financial conditions. According to Purdue University Extension economist Chris Hurt, it is clear the financial impacts of price movements affect many agricultural input businesses, as well.

Hurt asks, what can happen to prices of agricultural commodities in a decade, and why look at the last decade? “It was 10 years ago in the fall of 2006 that agricultural commodity prices began to head upward in what can be described as a boom/moderation price cycle,� Hurt says. “Nearby futures prices are used to compare prices over time. Measured this way, prices for wheat, corn, and lean hogs in the fall of this year fell to 10-year lows, dating back to 2006 or earlier.

Unfortunately, costs of production are not at 10-year lows and this means narrow margins or losses are likely for many producing these commodities.�

Focusing on lean hog futures prices, the low this fall was on the October 2016 contract at $40.70. Hurt says the last time lean hog futures have been this low was in October 2002. This means lean hog futures in the fall of 2016 were the lowest lead contract price in 14 years. Lean hog futures have recovered somewhat since October, with the lead contract currently trading around $50, a level that is at the lower end of the 10-year range.

Cash prices also reflect these multiyear lows. Live prices of hogs for 51 percent to 52 percent carcasses are expected to average about $36.25 in the final quarter of this year. This will be the lowest fourth quarter price since 2002 and the lowest cash prices in 14 years, the same as lean hog futures. The current quarter is shaping up to have the worst losses since the first quarter of 2008 when cash corn prices moved above $4 per bushel after many years around $2. “A 3 percent increase in this quarter’s pork production is one of the forces keeping prices low, but shortages of packer capacity seems to be another factor that is an additional downward force on low farm prices,� Hurt says. “Over time, the pork industry growth has reached a point where more packer capacity is needed. In addition, the largest hog supplies of the year tend to be in the final quarter, which puts added seasonal pressure on capacity.

It is generally thought that 2.5 million

head per week is near federal inspection capacity. In four of the past seven weeks, the number of head processed at federally inspected plants has been above 2.5 million head. “When there is a shortage of capacity in any industry there tend to be high returns to those who own that capacity,� Hurt adds. “That seems to be the case this fall as the farm-to-wholesale margin is at record-high levels. Looking at the most recent USDA data, the farmto-wholesale margin for January through October has averaged 68 cents per retail pound this year compared to 56 cents per retail pound for the same period in 2015.

If all of this higher margin were bid into the farm level price, it would increase live hog prices by $5 to $7 per live hundredweight.�

After prices average about $36 for the final quarter of 2016, prices are expected to improve to about $40 for the first quarter of 2017 with head counts that are a little smaller, Hurt says. Then, seasonally smaller supplies in the second and third quarters could support live hog prices around $50. “Two new processing plants are expected to come online by the fall of 2017,� Hurt says. “These should relieve the capacity shortage and allow hog prices to be higher a year from now, even though hog supplies will be higher. Current forecasts are for live hog prices to average about $43 in the fourth quarter of 2017. Live hog prices averaged around $50 in 2015, but will drop to about $46 for 2016 and are forecast to average near $46 again in 2017.�

With current costs estimated at $49, Hurt says this means losses for this quarter of about $34 per head and for the first quarter of 2017 of around $27 per head. The second and third quarters should be at about the breakeven point, with loses of $19 in the final quarter of 2017.

The forecast of annual losses of about $11 per head in 2016 are expected to continue for 2017, Hurt says. “More packer capacity will help hog prices in 2017. In addition, retail pork prices are expected to continue to drop and provide stronger domestic usage. Pork exports are expected to grow in 2017 as well. Nevertheless, these positive factors will not be enough to bring the industry back to the breakeven level. The industry will need to consider a reduction in the breeding herd in the last half of 2017 in order to boost prices back closer to the breakeven level in 2018,� Hurt says.

MARKETS

Wheat, corn, soybeans unchanged Wheat The U.S. 2016 to ’17 all-wheat supply and demand estimates are unchanged from November. The marketing year average price received by producers is also unchanged at the midpoint, but the range has narrowed $0.20 per bushel to $3.60 to $3.80.

Global wheat production for 2016 to ’17 increased 6.5 million tons, led by a 4.7-million-ton increase for Australia,

a 0.9-million-ton increase for China and a 0.4-million-ton increase for the European Union and Brazil.

Corn No changes were made to this month’s 2016 to ’17 U.S. corn supply and use projections. Forecast U.S. corn exports were unchanged this month, despite a sales and shipment pace that is well above one year ago.

The projected range for the seasonaverage corn price received by producers increased 5 cents on both ends to $3.05 to $3.65 per bushel, on continued higher-than-expected early season prices.

MARKETS LIVESTOCK SUMMARIES

CASH GRAIN

Cattle summary Compared to last week, the majority of the calf and yearling market calls this week were steady to 3.00 lower. Additionally, steers and heifers were very uneven with some weight groups in individual markets trending steady to 5.00 higher and instances as much as 10.00 higher while others were called from 2.00 to 10.00 lower depending on geographic area after last week’s higher postThanksgiving holiday week. A low pressure system has spread through the Plains and has brought treacherous roads in the North this week hindering producer’s ability to get cattle to market. Old man winter has shown up with a bang bringing a bone chilling wind throughout the overwhelming majority of the country. It’s so cold, that even Brownsville, TX (the southernmost tip of TX) had a wind chill this morning of 31 degrees. Most everyone in the country has had to dig out the winter gear and calendar wise, the winter solstice is only 12 days away. The recent cold weather has “hardened up” the fleshy calves that were commonplace in the market the past few weeks. In addition, pathogens that were prevalent during the mild fall would now be gone and producers can wean calves and treat flu-like symptoms easier than just a month ago. Buyers continue to pay up for quality reputation strings of cattle. On Wednesday in Kearney, NE at Huss-Platte Valley Livestock Auction two and a half loads of steers weighing 887 sold at 141.10. On Thursday at Ogallala Livestock Market, a load of 511 lb steers sold at 169.00 and in Mobridge, SD a load of replacement quality heifers weighing 535 lbs sold at 170.00.

Buyers still had confidence that their purchases would make a profit, however for the most part, they wanted to buy them cheaper in case the bulls at the CME reemerge. Packers appeared to have been short bought the past few weeks as last week’s 115.00 price was posted on Wednesday. Fed cattle trading so far this week has been isolated to Kansas live sales at 110.00 and Nebraska dressed sales at 170.00, both 5.00 lower. Packers continue to push the envelope and slaughter over 610K again this week.

Slaughter cow prices typically have a downtrend this time of year and this one is not different. Market watchers are reporting a considerable amount of cows in the wings ready to go to market, however slaughter cow plants are running at full bore with auction markets having to hold cows at their facilities a longer period than normal. Usually there is an uptick in cow prices between Christmas and New Year’s Day, however with the holidays on Sunday this year many auctions will have sales. Couple that with the boisterous amount of cows already in the pipeline, the historic price increase in cow prices may not happen this year. Auction volume included 47 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 38 percent heifers.

Stats Canada report met with doubts CRESTWOOD, Ky. — The snowy conditions farmers faced in Canada had many worried significant crop loss and damage was coming. The needed break came for many to get out and finish up harvest activity, but questions remained heading into the Statistics Canada report this week.

The report showed increased production of wheat and canola, surprising many in the agriculture industry, given the difficult fall. Adding to skepticism is the fact that farmers were surveyed during a time when crops were out in the cold and they were stuck inside wondering if a portion of their crops would even get harvested before winter.

Wheat Statistics Canada showed total wheat production up 15 percent from a year ago to 31.7 million metric tons. This is based on a yield jump to 42.8 bushels per acre on 7.3 percent less area harvested (of 21.9 million acres). Wheat prices in Chicago and Kansas City pushed to new lows two weeks ago. The Minneapolis market has held firm despite these lower markets, as demand for the higher protein wheat (both domestically and globally) remains strong. Russia’s export market finally cooled after 10

consecutive weeks of higher prices.

Look for ongoing competition for wheat exports in the future. In the near term, expect Australia to be very aggressive, as weather during their growing season has been excellent across the country. Total production is forecasted to rise by 16 percent from a previous estimate to 32.64 million metric tons, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences.

This will lead to a strong presence on the global wheat market in the coming months and it’s important to note Australia is the fourth-largest exporter of wheat in the world.

For a long-term impact, Ukraine-based agriculture company Kernel is planning a new Black Sea export terminal that has a 4-million-metric-ton

capacity. While this new facility will not be ready until 2018, it does point toward Ukraine’s ongoing presence and solidified focus on grain exports in the future. This year, however, competition might drive Ukraine’s business down.

Ukraine’s Agriculture Minister Taras Kutovy announced exports could dip from the current forecast of 41 million metric tons, but likely not by more than one million.

Durum Durum prices backed off a bit from last week. Spillover pressure from the dip in wheat markets helped take durum prices down.

Canola Canola markets continued to follow the broader oil markets to some extent, but the majority of the focus was on the Statistics Canada report. Pre-report estimates ranged from 18 to 19.8 million metric tons for total production.

The government’s report showed 18.4 million metric tons produced, falling in the lower end of the expected range, yet still achieving a record output. Yields hit a record 42.3 bushels per acre but gains were offset by a 6.6 percent reduction in harvested acres to 19.2 million acres.

Peas and lentils

Statistics Canada’s December crop report showed field pea harvest was 4 percent larger than the previous forecast in September. Lentil production was slightly lower than the last report, but still very large. In the end, 8.835 million metric tons of pulses were harvested compared to 6.423 million metric tons in 2015.

Note that 100 percent of the field pea crop and 97 percent of the lentil crop were harvested at the time of the farmer survey that the Statistics Canada report is based upon. This survey was conducted between Oct. 21 and Nov. 13. Even though October precipitation issues delayed some harvest activity in Canada, this data should be more reliable for pulses as most of the harvest work was done.

Mustard

Mustard seed movement continues to be slow, but steady. The Canadian Grains Commission reported 1,200 metric tons of bulk mustard seed was loaded for export through licensed terminals. This keeps exports on pace with last year.

MARKETS

Few surprises in USDA report Wheat

Stats Canada released its Production of Principal Field Crops report Dec. 8. Total Wheat production increased 15 percent from last year to an estimated 31.7 million metric tons. Yield was estimated at 53.2 bushels per acre, a 24 percent increase from 42.8 bushels per acre in 2015. Harvested acres were 21.9 million, the lowest in five years. The report did mention harvest delays caused by early October snowfall in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan but that surveyed farmers were asked to provide their best estimates for total crop production.

The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics raised its wheat crop forecast to 32.6 million metric tons, surpassing the previous record high of 29.9 million metric tons in 2011 to ’12. This was 14 percent higher than the September estimate.

Western Australian prices of $196 per ton are the lowest since 2009 and very competitive with the Black Sea Region.

In weather, a major cold front has entered the country with below normal temperatures in the plains states. According to weather reports, Dec. 16 to 20 poses the greatest risk. Forecasts have backed off on harsh cold for central Russia and the northern Ukraine.

U.S. weekly export inspections were 16.7 million bushels for the week ending Dec. 1. This was above the 8.3 million bushels for the same week a year ago.

Inspections for 2016 to ’17 total 498.5 million bushels, up 29 percent from the previous year and slightly above U.S. Department of Agriculture’s projected increase of 26 percent. Export sales totaled 19.4 million bushels, with 18.5 million bushels for the 2016 to ’17 marketing year. This was above the 10.5 million bushels needed to keep pace with USDA’s demand projection of 975 million bushels. Weekly shipments of 20.4 million bushels were above the 19.2 million bushels needed for last week’s report. Saudi Arabia issued a tender for 715,000 metric tonc and Ethiopia tendered for 70,000 metric tons.

For the week ending Dec. 8, March contracts for Minneapolis wheat were down 8.25 cents at $5.30, up 4 cents at $4.08 for Chicago wheat, and down 4 cents at $4.04 for Kansas City wheat.

Corn

After reaching two-month lows at the beginning of the month, buying interest came back in the market last week. We might be seeing bottom line support from acreage estimates for next year that are at 90 million acres. This is well-below the 2016 figure of 94.5 million acres. Good export inspection numbers and talk of Argentina long-term forecasts turning dry gave the bulls a jump out of the gate early last week.

A stronger dollar is bad for continued export demand, but so far export pace has not been slowed by the higher U.S. dollar index this marketing year. For the week ending Dec. 8, December corn was up 7.5 cents and March corn was up 6.75 cents.

There were no surprises in the Dec. 9 USDA World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. For the 2016 to ’17 corn crop, export projections were at 2.25 billion bushels, ethanol demand was at 5.3 billion bushels, and ending stocks were at 2.403 billion bushels, all staying the same as the November report.

Global production was raised thanks to the USDA projecting a 3-million-metric-ton increase in Brazil’s production.

Ethanol has been a bullish factor for corn demand so far this marketing year. Production has been strong and stocks have been decreasing. Ethanol exports have also been a welcome surprise. Ethanol exports in October were an astounding 131,624,802 gallons.

This is up 32 percent compared to September, and 88 percent more than last October. Year-to-date buying has totaled 825.5 million gallons, 19 percent ahead of the same time last year.

Ethanol production for the week ending Dec. 2 averaged 1.023 million barrels per day. This is up 1.09 percent, compared to last week and up 3.02 percent, compared to last year. Stocks were 18.53 million barrels. This is up 0.44 percent compared to last week and down 6.55 percent compared to last year. Corn used in last week’s production is estimated at 107.42 million bushels. Corn use needs to average 100.707 million bushels per week to meet this crop year’s USDA estimate of 5.3 billion bushels.

Corn weekly export inspections were 45.3 million bushels for the week ending Dec. 1. This is above 19.7 million bushels for the same week a year ago.

Inspections for 2016 to ’17 are up 89 percent from the previous year. Weekly export sales of corn showed a total of 58.9 million bushels with nearly all for the 2016 to ’17 marketing year. This was above the 25.9 million bushels needed last week to be on pace with USDA’s November demand projection of 2.225 billion bushels.

Soybeans Soybeans had a nice start to the week, but ended up giving up their early gains with 22-cent losses on Dec. 8 ahead of the WASDE report. As the U.S. dollar stays above 100 points, and with a fresh batch of Brazilian new-crop soybeans right around the corner, this might have escalated the decision for traders to take some profits.

For the week ending Dec. 8, January soybeans were down 0.5 cents and March soybeans were up 0.5 cents. Nov. 17 soybeans were down 3.75 cents.

There were no big surprises in the WASDE report, and global soybean production for the 2016 to ’17 crop year was increased slightly as a result of higher yields expected in India and Canada. Global ending stocks were also increased by 1.32 million metric tons to 82.85 million metric tons.

The 2016 to ’17 crop for U.S. soybean production is unchanged at 4.361 billion bushels and exports are also unchanged at 2.05 billion bushels.

January soybeans flirted with the recent highs of

$10.65 before backtracking from there. Stabilizing meal prices and strong oil prices continue to give beans backing. Soybeans are also getting underlying support from the palm oil market. Soy products continue to find support on the heels of strong soybean demand from China fueled by attractive crush and hog margins. After only one small-sale announcement the previous week, there were big purchases from China and Unknown last week. One of the big questions is if China is front loading all these soybean purchases ahead of Trump inauguration and the uncertainty he brings with the trade policies, or if China is just willing to buy all the excess soybeans we grow as soy product.

Soybean weekly export inspections were 70.2 million bushels for the week ending Dec. 1.

Inspections are up 19 percent from the previous year.

Weekly export sales of soybeans showed a total of 53.9 million bushels, with nearly all for the 2016 to ’17 marketing year. This was well above the 12.8 million bushels needed this week to be on pace with USDA’s November demand projection of 2.050 billion bushels.

Last week’s high of $10.65 is still resistance.

Support is the $10.20 barrier and then $9.80 after that. Major support is the recent contract low of $9.40.

Canola For the week ending Dec. 8, canola January futures in Winnipeg, Manitoba, were down $7.10 (Canadian) to $522.20 per metric ton (Canadian). The Canadian dollar traded up 0.0056 at 0.7582. This brings the U.S. price to $17.96 per hundredweight.

Cash bids in Velva, N.D., were $17.37 per hundredweight for December and January, and 17.63 for February. Enderlin, N.D., bids were $18.19 for December and January, and $18.32 for February.

Hallock, Minn., bids were $17.84 for December and January, and $17.90 for February. Fargo, N.D., bids were $18.20 for December and January and $18.30 for February.

Stats Canada released its Production of Principal Field Crops report Dec. 6. Canadian farmers produced 18.4 million metric tons of canola in 2016, virtually unchanged from 2015. Yield was a record 42.3 bushels per acre, offset by a 6.6 percent decline in harvested acres at 19.2 million.

Barley Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2, while malting barley received no quote. The Berthold, N.D., bid is $2 and the CHS Southwest bid is at $2.25 in New Salem, N.D. Stats Canada reported a 6.8 percent increase in production to 8.8 million metric tons. Average yield was a record 73.4 bushels per acre with 5.5 million acres harvested, 5.6 percent less than 2015.

Durum Cash bids for milling quality durum are $6.50 in Berthold, N.D., and at $6.50 in Dickinson, N.D.

Sunflowers Cash sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were at $14.65 for December and January and $15.20 for February.

Soybean oil was 25 cents lower on the week ending Dec. 8 to $37.26 on the January contract.

REGIONAL NEWS

Medical marijuana law too complex for deadline

By Patrick Springer Forum News Service FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota’s new medical marijuana law did not take effect Dec. 8 — the date specified by law — because officials are grappling with the measure’s complexity and sometimes contradictory provisions.

“We have not committed to any time frame yet,” says Arvy Smith, the deputy director of the North Dakota Department of Health, which is implementing the law passed by voters in the Nov. 8 election.

Other states that have launched medical marijuana programs have taken anywhere from 18 months to as many as two, four or even six years, she says. “Hopefully we will not be that far out.”

It’s likely the medical marijuana program won’t be available until after the North Dakota Legislature, which convenes in January, can pass clarifying legislation, Smith says. Officials have found “redundant and conflicting language” that needs to be addressed.

“We’d like to fix the things that aren’t clear and move forward,” she says.

Implementation likely will be rolled out in phases, with no enforcement

I know there are people suffering from ailments who want access to medical marijuana right away. We really, really think that they are dragging their feet just a little bit.

– RAY MORGAN, medical marijuana supporter and regulation until the law is fully implemented, Smith says.

There also are many practical considerations involved in establishing dispensaries — called compassionate care centers in the law — as well as growing operations, certifying caregivers as well as patients.

For instance, It takes up to nine months to turn a seedling into a mature marijuana plant, Smith says.

A leading proponent of North Dakota’s medical marijuana law says he understands the need for a delay — up to a point.

“Of course we’re truly disappointed,” says Ray Morgan of Fargo, N.D., who helped spearhead the initiative.

The health department is understaffed and dealing with budget cuts, he says.

“I know there are people suffering

from ailments who want access to medical marijuana right away,” says Morgan, who suffers from chronic pain following back surgery.

Still, he thinks they could roll out at least parts of the law, especially the provisions dealing with the application process so patients can become certified. Those patients then would be ready as soon as the program becomes effective, Morgan says.

“We really, really think that they are dragging their feet just a little bit,” he says.

Most of North Dakota’s law was borrowed from Delaware’s medical marijuana law, a program that can serve as an obvious model, Morgan says. A few minor provisions were gleaned from medical marijuana laws in Montana and Arizona.

“There wasn’t much mixing and matching,” he says. “They don’t have to reinvent the wheel.”

Officials are looking for ways to launch the medical marijuana program as cost-effectively as possible, Smith says. Health officials first estimated it would cost $8.7 million for the first biennium, with ongoing costs of $7.3 million and one-time expenditures of $1.4 million.

Funding will be required to hire staff to register qualifying patients and license designated caregivers and dispensaries. Staff also will be needed to monitor and enforce the law and to run an information management system to track data required to be reported annually as well as a verification system for caregivers and law enforcement.

To begin with, Morgan expects there would be dispensaries in Bismarck and Fargo. The law permits those who are not within 40 miles of a dispensary to grow their own medical marijuana or obtain it from a certified caregiver.

The cost of establishing a couple of dispensaries would be in the “$2.5 million range,” with each additional site costing around $200,000, says Morgan, a Fargo financial adviser.

N.D. oil pipeline shut down after ‘significant’ spill in creek

By Amy Dalrymple Forum News Service BELFIELD, N.D. — A pipeline leak caused a significant oil spill in a tributary of the Little Missouri River this week, but the volume of oil released was still unknown Dec. 6, as a winter storm affected response efforts.

The incident was discovered by a landowner, raising questions about whether the oil pipeline in western North Dakota had a monitoring system to detect leaks.

The pipeline owner, Belle Fourche Pipeline Co., is part of True Companies of Wyoming, which also owns Bridger Pipeline that had a major oil spill in 2015 in Montana that contaminated the Yellowstone River and affected the water supply for the city of Glendive.

The spill was discovered about 16 miles northwest of Belfield contaminated Ash Coulee Creek with the release contained more than 2 miles downstream, said Bill Suess, spill investigation program manager

for the North Dakota Department of Health.

“It is a significant spill,” he said.

The company shut down the pipeline and crews have been working to recover oil since Dec. 5, including constructing a dam about 4 miles downstream, according to an incident report.

“It sounds like they’ve got the creek pretty well protected from migration going downstream,” Suess said.

Winter weather was affecting the company’s ability to estimate how much oil had been released, said Wendy Owen, spokeswoman for True Companies.

“We do have a crew on the ground that is doing their best to assess the entire situation and what the next step will be,” she said.

The incident was reported by a landowner who saw oil leaking from the 6-inch pipeline into the creek, Suess said.

A labor union, which opposed a

True Companies pipeline under consideration by the North Dakota Public Service Commission in 2015, issued a statement Dec. 6, urging regulators to have stronger oversight over the company.

The Laborers District Council of Minnesota and North Dakota, which has members working on the Dakota Access Pipeline, said True Companies has a poor track record of spills and environmental incidents. Dakota Access protesters camped in south central North Dakota often cite the company’s 30,000-gallon oil spill in the Yellowstone River as an example of why they oppose a pipeline crossing the Missouri River north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.

“Our members take pride in their work, and we won’t just stand by and allow an irresponsible pipeline operator to harm North Dakota’s natural resources or damage reputation of our industry,” said spokesman Evan Whiteford, a career pipeliner who lives in Ray, N.D. “We think it’s time

for state officials to step in and force the True organization to clean up its act.”

An investigator from the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is scheduled to arrive on scene Dec. 7, the agency said.

Inspectors from the state health department have been on site investigating and monitoring the cleanup.

Suess said True Companies has a good track record of working with the health department.

“They do have a pretty good record of getting things cleaned up,” he said.

Winter weather was affecting the cleanup, but Suess said crews stayed on site most of Dec. 5 because roads were closed and they couldn’t get back to their hotel.

The creek flows into the Little Missouri River, but the river is several miles away from the spill site and there was no indication Dec. 6 the oil had reached that far, Suess said.

Enbridge confident in pipeline project after DAPL decision

By John Hageman Forum News Service GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Enbridge Energy Partners is confident a replacement of an aging oil pipeline that cuts across northern Minnesota will be completed, despite recent delays over the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in neighboring North Dakota.

Enbridge plans to replace almost all of its 1,097-mile Line 3 pipeline, which runs from Edmonton, Alta., to Superior, Wis. The project will nearly double the line’s capacity to 760,000 barrels per day. The pipeline was constructed in the 1960s, and the company hopes to have the new line in service in 2019.

Before then, it will need to go through the regulatory process in Minnesota, which provided some challenges for Enbridge’s Sandpiper, a new pipeline that was to run from western North Dakota to Superior.

The company shelved that project in early September after low prices caused a slowdown in oil production.

The Sandpiper decision also came after Enbridge and Marathon Petroleum Corp. announced plans to invest

in the Dakota Access Pipeline, which has been delayed by months-long protests near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in southern North Dakota. The Department of the Army handed protesters a victory Dec. 4, by announcing it would not approve an easement for the pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe.

Still, Paul Eberth, project director for Enbridge, said the company was confident in the success of the Line 3 project. The Canadian government signed off on it recently.

The new pipeline would cross a section of North Dakota’s Pembina County before running from Kittson County in northwest Minnesota to northern Wadena County, where it would turn east toward the Duluth area.

“It’ll improve the safety and efficiency of transportation in Minnesota,” Eberth said.

Asked whether he was worried that Enbridge’s Line 3 project could attract the same kind of opposition that has hampered the Dakota Access Pipeline, Eberth said. “You’re always worried about the risks that could threaten

your project.”

“But in our case, if a stakeholder is significantly opposed to our project, our response will be to increase the engagement to see if we can’t reach a mutually agreeable solution,” he said.

The current Line 3 route runs through the Leech Lake Indian Reservation and the Fond du Lac Reservation, Eberth said, but the new route goes around those reservations.

It would run near the White Earth Indian Reservation, where Minnesota Public Radio reported many people who attended a public hearing on the project in August 2015 opposed it.

The fight over the Dakota Access Pipeline stemmed from objections raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which argued the project’s construction would disturb sacred sites and contaminate drinking water if it leaked.

Honor the Earth, a Native American environmental group, has called on members of the public to raise concerns to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission over Enbridge’s plans to abandon the existing Line 3 pipeline.

Enbridge filed applications for a route

permit and certificate of need to the PUC in April 2015.

An issue summary posted on Honor the Earth’s website said Enbridge would “leave behind what is likely a Superfund site,” a reference to a federal program aimed at cleaning up contaminated land.

Eberth, however, denied abandoning the pipe would result in a Superfund site. He said the deactivation process involves cleaning out the pipe and disconnecting it from operating facilities.

“That’s typical with pipelines when they reach the end of their useful life,” Eberth said. “That said, if there are situations where the decommissioned pipe poses a threat to either the environment, public safety or inhibits the continued land use of where the pipeline is, then we may look at removing it in places. But it would be a very small segment of the overall project.”

Enbridge is responsible for its pipelines whether they are active or inactive, according to its website. It will continue to monitor the deactivated pipeline and maintain the right of way.

Minnesota women pen book of ranch life, family

By Julie Buntjer Forum News Service SLAYTON, Minn. — The miles may separate the Hondl sisters — Nadine, Colleen Gengler and Bernadette Thomasy — but the stories of their childhood on a small Steele County farm brought them together in more ways than one as they wrote a memoir about family, farming and the history that spans five generations.

It was Thomasy, a journalist and former writer for the Toledo (Ohio) Blade, who began penning her parents’ stories while bringing her own children to her family’s southeast Minnesota farm during the summers.

“Dad’s such a storyteller, so she started jotting down notes,” says Gengler, of rural Slayton, Minn. Thomasy had compiled multiple pages of notes and stories by the time Gengler retired in 2012 from a 38-year career with the University of Minnesota Extension Service in Nobles, Murray and Cottonwood counties.

With more time on her hands, Gengler asked to see her sister’s latest version of the memoirs and, upon making suggestions about additional stories to include, was told it was her turn to do some writing.

In the months that followed, a memoir of a Minnesota farm family took shape. Thomasy and Gengler did the writing, with input from sister Nadine Hondl and Gengler’s daughter, Kim, who holds degrees in English and journalism.

The culmination of their efforts is “Under Minnesota Skies,” published in the summer of 2015..

“Under Minnesota Skies” was written over a period of two years, with Gengler and Thomasy sending many emails back and forth about the content. Once they had the content compiled, they shared the draft with Gengler’s daughter.

“She encouraged us to write more detail into it,” Gengler says, adding that it fueled her to research things like the family sewing machine and statistics from the University of Minnesota’s Extension Farm Management program.

When the rewrite was done, Gengler and Thomasy realized what they had was a book that would likely be of interest to more than just their own family.

“We thought other people might enjoy this — spark an interest in something they had done and however they grew up,” Gengler says.

Forum News Service

Sisters Nadine Hondl, Bernadette Hondle Tomasy and Colleen Hondl Gengler pose with the memoir they compiled about their family’s small Steele County farm. Gengler will speak about the book and its writing during a Lunchbox Lecture Thursday at the Murray County Fairgrounds 4-H building in Slayton.

The book was published through a program offered by the Sacramento (Calif.) public library, with the printing completed just before the 95th birthday of the sisters’ mother, Dorothy Hondl.

“Our mother knew we were writing this,” Gengler says, adding that her mother read through drafts, corrected some of the stories and expanded on others. Dorothy still lives on the family farm.

“The main parts (in the book) are my dad’s and mom’s stories on the farm in the 1920s,” Gengler says. She and her two sisters also include their perspectives on growing up on the farm in the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s.

“What is interesting, I think, is we learned about each other,” Gengler says. “With my family development background, it’s says that the first child is born into a different family

than the next child. My sisters are seven and nine years older.”

As a result, each offered a different perspective about farm life.

Their mother is “very proud” of the finished book, and Gengler’s father, though he died in 2002, is remembered through the many stories he told that led to the book’s writing.

One of the stories shared in the book is about German prisoners of war who worked on the Hondl farm during World War II. The prisoners were based at a POW camp in Owatonna. Gengler says she and her sister also wrote about the progression of farming.

“Dad kept horses longer than most people did, but he was also progressive,” she says. “He had one of the first self-propelled combines in Steele County in 1951.”

The sisters also shared their stories of farm life — the ordinary things like

meal time and saving Green Stamps and working on the farm.

It’s those kinds of stories that are universal in nature and will hopefully appeal to a broad audience.

“Under Minnesota Skies” is available for purchase at The Hut Gift Shoppe and the Left Bank Cafe in Slayton, as well as at amazon.com. Gengler will also have copies available for purchase during her presentation Thursday.

The Lunchbox Series presentation is Gengler’s eighth time speaking about the book.

“This has led to so many interesting opportunities meeting people and learning things,” she says. “My sisters and I have met some very interesting people.”

Today, Gengler continues her quest to learn about her family’s history — their story — and document the memories.

COMMENTARY

Pearl Harbor anniversary a reminder of community

By Josh Gackle KULM, N.D. — This week, I’m taking a break from business of farming and ranching to reflect on the activity and people in the towns and countryside we call home.

With winter having set in quickly and harshly, we might start to wonder why we’ve chosen to endure negative temperatures and threeday blizzards.

As I sat down to write this column, I was distracted by the posts in my twitter timeline. It was full of the usual sports, news, politics, weather and market commentary I’m used to reading, but on Dec. 7 there was a particular string of comments marking the 75th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I have no military service of my own to compare to, and certainly can’t compare my life with the sacrifices of those who fought and died in World War II. But what started at Pearl Harbor 75 years ago and lasted through the end of World War II brought about a sense of unity and togetherness in this country that is hard to find these days.

I see it in our small towns in big and small ways nearly every day.

It’s a sense and spirit of neighborhelping-neighbor, service and volunteerism that makes me proud to call Kulm, N.D., my home and I’m sure you see it in the place you call home, as well.

Think of all the organizations and activities where you live that wouldn’t happen without a committed group of volunteers. I’m a bit concerned to start listing the activities in Kulm because I’m sure I’ll leave something important off

the list.

In Kulm, we are preparing for the town’s 125th anniversary celebration in June 2017 — and you’re invited. The celebration organization and planning committee — all volunteers — has been working diligently for the last couple of years to plan and raise money for this event. Even a small group of volunteers has spent countless hours writing and editing a history book in order to preserve and remember the history of our town.

Recently, the same planning committee held a Santa Claus day with kids’ activities where volunteers arranged face painting for the kids and soup and sandwiches for lunch. Also related to the upcoming celebration, Here in Kulm we were fortunate to have the support of the community to fund a new high school and gymnasium. Much of the success of that project is because of a group of volunteers, including the school board, fundraising committees and building committees. We have a dedicated group of volunteers in and around Kulm that serve on the city park board, airport board, golf course board, fire department, economic development committee, township boards, and the list goes on.

While the work and business of our farms and ranches is important and requires near constant attention, take the time to stay involved in your community — and thank all those others who do, as well.

Editor’s note: Gackle is a thirdgeneration farmer in Kulm, N.D., and former staffer for Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

While the work and business of our farms and ranches is important and requires near constant attention, take the time to stay involved in your community — and thank all those others who do, as well.

Livestock owners were prepared for recent blizzard conditions

By April Baumgarten Forum News Service GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A sudden blizzard can be devastating to livestock and pets, but it appears most ranchers and pets owners were prepared for the storm that gripped North Dakota last week when it came to protecting their four-legged friends.

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture received few reports of livestock deaths as a result of Blizzard Alivia as she moved through the Midwest Dec. 5 and 6, though there were reports of cattle drifting into other pastures, says Julie Ellingson, executive vice president for the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association.

Snowfall counts ranged from less than an inch in parts of southwest North Dakota to 18 inches in central North Dakota and the Red River Valley, including nearly 15 inches of snow in

Grand Forks. Winds exceeding 30 mph caused snow to drift as temperatures dropped quickly overnight.

The first storm of the season for some — it was the second for most in North Dakota — showed up later than normal.

“But boy, when she showed up, she showed up in full force,” Ellingson said. “You really have to applaud the people who see their animals as priority No. 1.”

Susan Keller, North Dakota’s state veterinarian, said she wasn’t sure what kind of reports she would have when she got back into her Bismarck office Dec. 7, but other than a semi crash near Larimore, N.D., that killed 13 cattle it was hauling Dec. 6 on U.S. Highway 2 and a report of a trailer that was stranded near Steele, N.D., in which several cattle died, there were no reports of dead livestock being

found in snow.

There was a request to help with snow removal so ranchers can get to lots and pastures to feed their livestock.

“We usually do that when there is a major storm,” a representative with the Grand Forks Police Department said.

Livestock Blizzard Alivia dropped 2 feet in some parts of North Dakota and might have made farmers realize winter is here and that they need to be prepared for future storms, Ellingson said. It also helps when ranchers get advanced notice from weather forecasts.

Still, the sudden change from warm, nice fall days to the harsh wind and temperatures of winter can be stressful for both ranchers and animals, which can face health problems in the dra-

“I don’t know if anyone is fully prepared for a storm like that,” Keller said, but there are steps ranchers can take to make sure their animals are ready for the storm, including providing some type of shelter, such as a barn and windbreaks. “That’s the main thing, so they can get out of the wind.

Ranchers also should pull cattle closer to the farm or places where it is easier to check on them. Another hint is having feed close to livestock or even supplying extra foliage ahead of the storm in case a rancher can’t get to the cattle for a couple of days.

It’s also vital that livestock have access to water, which will freeze when temperatures drop. It’s a good idea to have heated water tanks, though some producers will have to break the ice after the storm.

U.S. trade gap widens as exports of soybeans, other products drop

By Lucia Mutikani Reuters WASHINGTON — The U.S. trade deficit recorded its biggest increase in more than one year in October, as exports of soybeans and other products fell, suggesting trade would be a drag on growth in the fourth quarter.

The Commerce Department said Dec. 6 the trade gap rose 17.8 percent, the largest increase since March 2015, to $42.6 billion. Higher imports from rising domestic demand also contributed to the widening of the deficit.

When adjusted for inflation, the deficit rose to $60.3 billion from $54.2 billion in September.

“This widening of the trade deficit at the start of the fourth quarter puts trade on track to subtract a little more than one percentage point from fourth-quarter GDP growth,” said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York.

Exports contributed 0.87 percentage point to the third quarter’s 3.2 percent annualized rate of increase in gross domestic product. The jump in exports in the last quarter largely reflected a surge in soybean shipments to China after a poor harvest in Argentina and Brazil.

While the reversal in soybean shipments, which is weighing on exports, suggests trade is likely to subtract

from GDP growth in the fourth quarter, consumer spending and a firming housing market are expected to keep supporting the economy.

Rising gas and oil well drilling in response to increasing oil prices is also expected to boost growth this quarter by stimulating demand for manufactured goods such as machinery.

Firming oil prices are starting to have an impact on manufacturing.

A second report from the Commerce Department Dec. 6 showed new orders for manufactured goods rose 2.7 percent in October after increasing 0.6 percent in September.

That was the largest increase since June 2015 and marked four straight months of gains. Unfilled orders at factories increased 0.7 percent, the biggest rise since July 2014, ending four consecutive months of decline.

The report pointed to an upturn in manufacturing, which accounts for about 12 percent of the economy, after a prolonged slump that helped to erode economic growth. But factory inventories were flat, suggesting a moderate pace of inventory accumulation this quarter.

Following the trade and factory orders reports, the Atlanta Federal Reserve cut its fourth-quarter gross domestic product estimate by threetenths of a percentage point to a 2.9

A reversal in soybean shipments has weighed on exports, but is predicted to cause little effect on economic growth. percent rate.

U.S. financial markets were little moved by the data ahead of the European Central Bank’s policy meeting on Dec. 8, which could offer

new clues on its bond purchasing program. The dollar rose against a basket of currencies, while prices for U.S. Treasuries were mixed. U.S. stocks were largely unchanged.

U.S. soybean exports may be less impressive than they seem

By Karen Braun Reuters CHICAGO — The U.S. has been shipping an eye-popping amount of soybeans lately, but this year’s high expectations render the current export pace as nothing out of the ordinary.

And there are already signs the world’s No. 2 soybean supplier might actually risk an underwhelming performance by year end.

Coming off the largest-ever domestic soybean harvest, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has set a hefty export target for the 2016 to ’17 marketing year of 55.8 million metric tons, or 2.05 billion bushels.

A record 52.7 million metric tons (1.936 billion bushels) of the oilseed were shipped out of the U.S. last season.

Soybeans are indeed leaving the country at a record pace. Official export data from the U.S. Census Bureau confirms the unprecedented volume through the first two months of the marketing year — September and October — which is more than 20 percent from last year.

Through Dec. 1, year-to-date soybean export inspections totaled 26.1 million metric tons. This compares with 21.9 million metric tons through Dec. 3, 2015, and 23.7 million metric tons through Dec. 4, 2014.

Consider the percentage of annual expectations already fulfilled by looking at year-to-date inspections against USDA’s November demand estimates for the current and past seasons. In this light, 2016 to ’17 is not particularly special.

Export inspections suggest the U.S. has shipped just below 50 percent of its expected annual volume in 2016 to ’17, which is slightly lower than previous seasons. This is partly because the latest figures have an ending date earlier than in the past few years, meaning the year-to-date data contains fewer days.

But even when accounting for the difference in dates, this year’s

soybean shipping pace implied by inspections is at best equal to its predecessors — not significantly ahead of them.

The Census data also confirms that 2016 to ’17 soybean exports are not necessarily ahead of normal pace.

Some 27 percent of the annual target has been shipped through October, which is slightly higher than the previous year but only second-highest of the previous five years.

By no means does this analysis imply the U.S. soybean exporting campaign is going poorly, but there is a long way to go if the country is to ship more than 2 billion bushels

by Aug. 31.

Giving pause to cold weather ranch days

By Jenn Zeller It seems to me that once Thanksgiving has passed it’s a mad dash for Christmas and the New Year.

Personally, I think the time goes too fast! I’d much prefer it felt slower — that there was more time to enjoy the days with family, friends and neighbors. I haven’t figured out how to get it to slow down yet, except to do ranch chores in the snow.

Is it just me or does it feel like doing chores once winter has hit takes twice as long? Is it that we chop ice daily? Or because we plow through snow, or sludge and buck wind to get at the critters to feed them? Is it the extra three layers of clothing that slow us down?

My hens have nearly quit laying eggs, which is unfortunate, because a month ago I was getting 4 to 6 dozen eggs per week. And we’ve lost our window of good weather for

pregnancy testing the cows.

The silver lining in all of this — and, mind you, I’m not complaining — is that photos this time of year have an extra special beauty to them.

Happy Trails!

S.D. Cattlemen focus on tough market at convention

By Michelle Rook Special to Agweek WATERTOWN, S.D. — Cattle producers have had a tough year with lower cattle prices and volatile markets taking a toll on their business.

That was the focal point of the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association Convention held Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 in Watertown, S.D. At the meeting, members of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Working Group on market issues gave producers a progress report.

The group was formed to address the volatility in the cattle markets and the inability for cattlemen to use the futures as a risk management tool.

“We devised three different goals … price discovery, volatility and contract specs and delivery points being the third,” NCBA Working Group Chair and President Elect Craig Uden said.

They’ve been working the CME for the past year to pinpoint the problem with the cattle markets and develop solutions. Uden said one of the ways to decrease volatility is to make the contract fairer by modernizing the contract specifications. He said they want a contract that is more reflective of average weights today and considers current yield grade averages.

Brad Kooima, also serves on the NCBA Working Group. He co-owns Kooima & Kaemingk Commodities in Sioux Center, Iowa, and is also a cattle feeder. He said the market is broken.

“I mean, anybody that lived through last year where literally you got up to get a cup of coffee and the market changes $2.50 a hundred — are you kidding?” he said. “A 41-percent change in price for no reason. We only had a 21 percent change when we had mad cow, 20 percent when we had 9-11.”

Part of the problem, he said, was created when open outcry was phased out and trade went 100 percent electronic. He said the high frequency traders that use computer algorithms became able to influence the market and increased the volatility. They’ve asked CME for an audit so the Commodity Futures Trading Commission could identify who’s trading, and if computer algorithm trades are negatively impacting the market. But, CME refused.

Regarding price discovery, Kooima said officials with the CME told the working group the only way to have a viable futures contract is to have a viable cash market. So the industry is trying to improve cash transparency

and decrease the number of cattle traded on a formula basis, or contracted with a packer.

“The one idea that spawned from that, and I admit I was a little skeptical about, was this Fed Cattle Exchange,” he said. The online auction hosted by Superior Livestock takes place every Wednesday. Kooima said so far it has been well received and has included some cattle that were previously formula cattle. Plus, he believes it is giving the producers some leverage with the packers buying their cattle.

“It’s provided a mid-week snapshot of what the cash market looks like,” he said. “Otherwise we were waiting until Friday at 5:00 and the futures are closed then of course.”

But, he adds, it would be just as easy for more cattle producers to sell their cattle on a negotiated basis.

Kooima said they’re also concerned CME will push forward a proposal to change the live cattle contract to one that is settled to a cash index. “We think that’s a terrible idea, because you’ll have no way to force convergence until the last minute of the last day before the contract expires. So what about the guy that’s got cattle ready the first of the month and they’re not going to converge until the

last of the month?”

South Dakota Cattlemen’s President Todd Wilkinson said the volatility, combined with the large and swift drop in cattle prices, will make 2016 go down as one of the worst years in history for their industry.

“Certainly starting in the end of 2015 and continuing in 2016 the drop in the market has been more extreme than what we’ve experienced before,” he said. With losses as high as $700 to $800 per head at one point, there are some producers that have not weathered the storm. Wilkinson confirmed, “We’re losing some producers.”

He said there are also financial institutions that are not willing to allow producers to go out and buy the calves because they don’t have a viable way to hedge their risk.

Wilkinson also serves on the working group and expressed his frustration with CME. “I keep hearing verbalized to me that they’re willing to work on the process, but I want to see some action. We’ve got producers that are losing the battle right now because they’re not able to put those calves in their background yard and if we wait a year and a half to get this problem solved it’s going to be too late.”
