Cory Eich looks over a solar well in his pastures near Epiphany, S.D.

By Mercedes Lemke Forum News Service EPIPHANY, S.D. — The cows will come home from the pasture on schedule for Cory Eich this year thanks to the recent rains.

“It looks like for us we will be on a normal schedule. The rains played a big difference in that,” Eich says. “If it would have stayed drier we would be looking at moving it up, but right now I don’t think that is anything to worry about.”

Eich and his wife have been farming near Epiphany for 35 years. The property has been in his family since his great-grandfather homesteaded the property in the 1880s.

Through the drought this summer, Eich was thankful for rural water taps and solar wells that he started adding to his pastures nearly 10 years ago. The taps and wells have made managing cattle easier for Eich, especially during drought seasons like this year.

“Thirty-five years ago, if you would have told me we were going to have rural water taps in a lot of fields, and we didn’t even have it at our farm — yeah, what a dream,” he says with a laugh.

“That’s been a huge game-changer.”

Running a rural water tap or solar well allows more flexibility as to where water is located within the pasture as compared to a traditional dugout. Dugouts tend to be located in lower ground, and when rural water taps and wells are installed, the water can be “put where you need it,” Eich says.

This season, having solar wells and rural water taps have saved Eich time in hauling water, but they must be checked a minimum of every other day.

“This year we would probably be hauling water, so, in that sense, it’s better (with the wells and taps),” Eich says. “You always have to worry

about the mechanics and the dugouts.

Whereas with rural water, a float might get screwed up and water will be running over. It’s pretty rare, we’ve never had it quit, but you never know when it will.”

With the implementation of solar wells and rural water taps back into his pastures, he has watched this farming practice make a full circle. Eich remembers digging dugouts for cattle in pastures as a kid with his dad at a time when windmill wells were being pulled out of pastures.

“I’m old enough to remember when we dug a lot of these dugouts and when it was just the greatest thing for my dad who would say, ‘Boy this is nice.

We don’t have to worry about wells,’” Eich says.

Since rural water taps and solar wells allow for more centralized locations in pastures, over the past few years Eich has added cross fencing throughout his pastures to further conserve the grass.

Cross fencing is when the farmer takes a pasture and divides it using a fence made of either barbed wire or electric fencing. This allows the cattle to only graze on one side of the pasture at a time, giving the pasture’s grass time to rejuvenate on the side the cattle are not grazing, Eich explains.

Cross fencing makes the cattle eat grass that wouldn’t necessarily be their first choice, Eich says.

“Our goal is to have grass until summer and into harvest,” he says.

The cattle are rotated through the pastures every four to six weeks, depending on the conditions of the grass.

“The West River guys have rubbed off on me,” Eich says. “When your only commodity is grass, you kind of learn to respect it. It’s really a crop that’s the most mismanaged crop out there.”

OPINION

National parks are good for everyone? Think again resulted in statewide revenues dropping by over two-thirds in fiscal year 2016. Over 700 rural counties across the nation have seen their funding cut.

For the Alton School District, funding has dropped from a high of $414,440 in 2010 to just $133,267 this year.

There are fewer teachers in the district, and bus routes have been consolidated, consigning some students to a commute nearly as long as the time they spend in class.

It’s important that we preserve natural resources, saving wild places for our enjoyment and for the benefit of generations to come. That’s the right thing to do. But all too often we fail to take into account the costs borne by the communities hosting federally owned land.

Over 100,000 acres of the Alton School District are owned by the federal government, nearly one third of the total land area in the sprawling but sparsely populated school district.

Locals see very little revenue from tourists and are quick to tell you that the cost of policing the federal lands far outweighs any economic benefit to the local area from the forest. There is a continuing economic cost from the refusal to harvest timber, as loggers

look for other careers and places to live and school districts struggle in a time of tight state budgets.

It is impossible to communicate the frustration that local residents feel.

National monuments, parks and forests are seen as an undiluted good, one that couldn’t possibly be opposed by anybody but the most rapacious logging company or oil driller. It’s a good bet that no voter in Kansas City or New York City has ever imagined that federal lands are anything but a blessing.

This disconnect between those who love wilderness from a distance and the people who live near public lands is a real problem for our country. It should be possible to live near one of our nation’s most beautiful places without sacrificing the future of your kids. Wild places are more likely to be protected if the people who live near them see them as a boon rather than a burden.

Congress has a responsibility to that 6-year-old on the bus, and it’s time they acted.

it’s inexplicable that Congress hasn’t moved to protect rural schools.

Oregon County, Mo., is a beautiful place, with miles and miles of the best that the Missouri landscape has to offer. Back in the 1930s, the federal government realized as much and created the Mark Twain National Forest.

For decades, the forest was managed with timber harvests as a part of the expected and actual use. Timber harvests have dwindled as environmental uses became more highly valued than the management of forest resources for multiple uses. This has resulted in oak decline as the forests aged and fell victim to insects and disease. Revenues to local entities have declined as well; a law passed early in the 20th century mandates that a portion of those timber revenues goes to the local schools and county government.

In 2000, Congress responded to the declining timber sales revenue with the passing of the Secure Rural Schools Act, increasing the local share in the formula dividing revenues between the federal government and local counties and school districts. The law was reauthorized in 2006 and several times since, before lapsing again in 2015.

By Blake Hurst The kids get on the bus every morning at 6:05. That’s because their bus ride in the tiny Alton school district in Oregon County, Mo., is an hour and a half long. It’s no secret that Congress is dysfunctional, but sometimes it’s hard to put faces to that failure.

The long and arduous bus routes and the hardship suffered by 6-year-olds riding a bus from early in the morning to late in the evening are a direct result of Congress’s failure to do its job. The face of this issue is a young girl about 50 inches tall with a gap-tooth grin and a Hulk backpack, sound asleep on a hard, cold and vomit green bus seat.

We’re all disappointed when Congress fails to act on the promises they’ve made to voters. But many issues facing our nation are hard, with no easy answers or readily available solutions.

The Secure Rural Schools Act, which expired in 2015, is not a hard issue. The Act provided funding for rural school districts that host National Forests, replacing a small portion of the revenue lost to local school districts because of changes in the management of federal lands. Reauthorizing the Secure Rural Schools Act isn’t controversial, and

Planning for the future of the farm

By Shauna Farver Special to Agweek As harvest looms here on the farm and the drought wears on, we’re looking towards the future and using this time as motivation to make plans for next season and beyond.

In the near future, we’re already making adjustments for what we know will be a lean year, and we’re putting the wheels in motion to start recouping our losses as we move into the next crop year.

It’s also a time of transition for us, with our daughter off to college in a few weeks and just two years of high school left for our son, so we’re making some plans for the distant future as well. They’ve both shown interest in coming back to the farm — in fact when they were younger, they planned for our daughter to come back to run cows and our son to do the farming. One of them would live here in our house with their family, and the other at the North place. When we asked where Terry and I would be living, they said we’d be in the nursing home, so it would all work out fine!

Since we’re hoping they don’t wait that long to return — and that we won’t be relocating to the nursing home anytime soon — we’re looking for options for expansion opportunities and ways to create income potential to support three families from what normally supports one. We know that’s going to take a combination of many things, but it’s a fun challenge to start thinking about and something to help us stay focused on what comes next.

This past week, we finished putting up Conservation Reserve Program hay, and it was a heartwarming glimpse into what might be around the corner on our farm. At one point our daughter was on the swather and our son was on the baler. Kaitlin Snapchatted a picture and shared it to her Dad and I — giving us a visual not only of what the staffing logistics might look like, but also a reminder of the way technology will play a part in the progression of our family business.

The variables for a sustainable operation on the horizon are many — weather patterns, funding sources, land availability, capital requirements, whether each of our kids decide to actually come back to the farm and make agriculture their chosen trade, bringing with them new spouses and off-farm jobs to juggle — the list goes on.

Faced with the uncertainty of the present and the unpredictability of the future, it would be easy to hesitate in choosing a path forward. Instead, we’re choosing to take a page out of Henry David Thoreau’s book and “go confidently in the direction of our dreams.”

We’re buoyed by the legacy of Terry’s family that came before us, those hearty pioneers who homesteaded in an unforgiving land and forged their destiny from the dirt.

And we’re spurred onward by the conviction that for us, this place — this lot — is not just by chance, but by certain and conscious choice.

Regardless of what the fates hold in store, we’ll be working to constantly evolve and search for solutions.

We’ll rise to the challenges of each new season and greet them with feet firmly planted in the soil of today and eyes on the promise of tomorrow.

FOOD & SWINE

Lessons from the younger generation This time of the year is bittersweet in our home — school is right around the corner. I’m that token mother that cries at her kids leaving on the bus daily for the first week. I guess I enjoy when they are home, even if they squabble here and there lll CristenClark or leave messes in the house and in the barn.

Part of me needs them to be little forever, and the other part wants to be reminded that I’m raising them right. Lately this reassurance has come in a surprising way.

This summer my kids have had incredible opportunities to be surrounded by young adults who are incredibly passionate about whatever it is they are doing. Most recently, Lexi Marek, a friend I met through the #RealPigFarming social forces initiative by the National Pork Board, has been helping my kids become better showmen when it comes to exhibiting their pigs. But the takeaway from my kids in this experience is much more than showmanship skills.

I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone from my generation (I’m in my early 30s) or older whine about how entitled, etc., the younger generations are. I may think a bit differently, as I tend to look for the bright spots. Some of the most talented minds in agriculture and beyond were born in the 90s and later.

I’ve learned that now that my kids are a little older, I cannot teach them everything in life, in farming and tending to livestock. This wasn’t an easy pill to swallow. They learn by example, and sometimes a younger, more hip example is a tad more eye-catching for them, and I’ve learned to be okay with it. By having a friend like Lexi, my kids can learn some really valuable things: 1. Handshakes matter: They’ll be reminded of the importance of a firm handshake, because Lexi could drop a 400 pound body builder.

2. Love all of the pig: They’ll become better because Lexi sets a great example of what it takes to be a great showman. She’s calculated and gentle with the animals and genuinely loves all parts of pork production, not just showing.

3. Being busy is a good thing: They’ll realize it is good to have more activities than just one. With activities becoming more and more demanding these days, this example is important to me. Not only does Lexi show pigs, she also does pageants and is the reigning “Miss Greater Des Moines,” traveling around central Iowa teaching youth about agriculture. She appeared at Halle’s classroom to talk about friendship and farmers. Way cool.

4. Be cool to the little kids: They’ll realize that it is always cool to give time to the generation younger than them. I am always so thankful when my friends take time to recognize my children. It makes them feel special and it is said that “people won’t always remember what you say, but they’ll remember how you made

them feel.” I hope they remember how special it was to have an older person be so kind to them and that they repay the favor someday.

5. Girls drive “duallys” too: If you know my son at all, you know he’s obsessed with dually pickup trucks. His dream car is a “Chevy-white-dually,” and when we drive around town he shouts at the top of his lungs every time he sees one. Lexi’s family has one that she drives from time to time. Not only does she rock the pickup truck, she sets an example as a “FarmHer” by sharing her passion of farming with other girls like my daughter. On a video shoot for #RealPigFarming, Lexi said something that stuck with me — that her parents raised her on the farm “so she felt that her gender didn’t define her” — meaning she can do anything she puts her mind to. That’s what I want my daughter to feel, too.

When we host friends at our home, I do what I know best — I cook for them. I express love from my heart through the food I prepare with my hands. One of the most raved-over meals at our weekly showmanship lessons with Lexi has been a spaghetti casserole. It is a comforting dish and that’s exactly what we want to give our friend as she navigates her new role with FarmHer and her new digs in town. She’s already asked to come over and join us when our next batch of sows are farrowing. The kids are already planning the event, and that’s what is so special.

Upper Midwest crops stabilize

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer Crop conditions have stabilized in the drought-ravaged Upper Midwest, according to a new government report.

Though drought remains a huge concern, crops aren’t any worse off overall than they were a week earlier, according to the weekly crop progress from the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The report, issued Aug. 7, reflects conditions on Aug. 6.

Corn reflects the overall stabilization in crop conditions.

In South Dakota, corn was rated 36 percent poor or very poor on Aug.

REGIONAL NEWS 6, compared with 39 percent a week earlier.

North Dakota’s corn crop was in 25 percent poor or very poor condition, unchanged from a week earlier.

In Minnesota, corn was rated 4 percent or very poor, unchanged from the previous week.

Minnesota continues to avoid the worst of the drought hammering North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.

To put those numbers in perspective, 13 percent of corn in the nation’s 18 leading corn-producing states was rated poor or very poor, unchanged from the previous week.

Here’s what the report say about spring wheat and soybeans, which along with wheat and corn, are the region’s major crops:

Spring wheat South Dakota — Seventy-five percent was in poor or very poor shape, unchanged from the previous week.

Sixty-five percent was harvested, compared with 46 percent a week earlier.

Montana — Sixty-three percent was rated poor or very poor, compared with 58 percent a week earlier. Thirty-three percent was harvested, compared with 5 percent a week earlier.

North Dakota — Forty percent was in poor or very poor condition, compared

with 44 percent a week earlier. Sixteen percent was harvested, compared with 5 percent a week earlier.

Minnesota — Three percent was rated poor or very poor, compared with 1 percent a week earlier. Nine percent was harvested, compared with 3 percent a week earlier.

U.S. average (six leading spring wheat-producing states) — Forty-three percent was rated poor or very poor, unchanged from the previous week. Twenty-four percent was harvested, compared with nine percent a week earlier.

Soybeans South Dakota — Twenty-nine percent was in poor or very poor condition, compared with 35 percent a week earlier.

questions

with ...

Leah Johnson, farmer and seed salesperson, Elbow Lake, Minn.

By Katie Pinke Agweek Publisher Q: How has agriculture shaped your life into the role you work in today?

Being the youngest by a decade in my family, my parents brought me everywhere growing up, from picking lll Leah up parts at the local Johnson Case IH dealership to traveling across the country for custom harvesting. I think traveling across the Midwest and constantly meeting new people at every farm town helps me as a seed salesperson today. I find so much joy in spending time on new farms and with new people!

Q: What is a misconception of you in your role in agriculture that you get questions about from customers or those outside of agriculture?

As far as selling Pioneer seed and being a woman in a male dominated field, I think many people don’t expect that I am also going to be farming next year.

Being 26 and not married, working full time in sales and running my own farming operation is surprising to many people. Usually I make a joke that it’s probably more problematic that I’m a millennial than a woman.

But in all seriousness, the fact that I try my best to be knowledgeable and unafraid to get my hands dirty in this business is my way to prove to myself and others I’m doing good work.

Q: When was the last time you tried something for the first time and what was it?

I recently had my first official meeting at the Farm Service Agency office because next year, I will be renting 700 acres from a neighboring farm family. The initial meeting began the process of transitioning acres to my own operation, learning

what farm programs I am eligible for and, most importantly, building a relationship with our local team of farm support staff. I hope I will have a lifetime of future meetings at our local FSA office.

Q: What do you do to encourage others? Who/what serves as a source of encouragement for you?

I definitely am a “tough love” type of person. If you picture a bubbly camp counselor, I’m the polar opposite when it comes to encouragement.

Honesty and transparency are very important to me, so when I think you can achieve something, you know I mean it when I say it.

When I’m feeling discouraged, I find if I can call my parents and just talk through all my negative thoughts, just letting it go I feel so much better. I also love to read!

Q: What organizations do you belong to within agriculture and outside of agriculture and why? What purpose do they serve for you?

I have been involved in Farm Bureau since college. I think it’s incredibly important to be involved with our legislators. Farm Bureau has been a great outlet for me to connect with my local legislators in St. Paul, Minn., and elected officials in Washington D.C. I also interned at Minnesota Corn & Soybean Growers in college, and today I am involved with our local commodity groups who focus a lot of time in consumer outreach. If I can talk to one person about the importance of farming in our local community, it is one person who knows a farmer — me!

Sisters of Ceres is a women’s-only marketing group I am a part of locally! We meet monthly to discuss grain marketing, farm management and many other timely topics. Minnesota Agri-Women connected me with the Executive Women in Ag conference in Chicago, and it was one of the best conferences I have ever attended!

I also stay active in Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority.

Leah Johnson is graduate of North Dakota State University with a degree in agricultural economics. She is a DuPont Pioneer salesperson with Red River Marketing of Elbow Lake, Minn. In 2018, she will be succeeding a neighboring farmer near Evansville, Minn. Connect with Johnson in social media at @JoyFarmgirl on Twitter and Instagram. She also has a Facebook page with her mom, Johnson Farmgirls.

REGIONAL NEWS

A boy, a ranch, a memoir ND native writes book

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer You can take the agricultural journalist out of North Dakota. But you can’t take away his North Dakota memories and heritage.

Veteran ag journalist Ed Maixner, based for many years in the Washington, D.C., area, has self-published a memoir about his early life on the Flying M Ranch in southwest North Dakota.

His “Flying M: Boyhood Memories of North Dakota Farm Life” is now available on Amazon at https://goo.gl/4fZtMm When he grew up on the ranch in the 1950s and 1960s, he often saw his life “as same-old, same old,” he says. “But I’ve long since appreciated starting my life in a big Catholic family in North Dakota’s least-populated county.”

Writing the book ​”was a fun process for me. It meant contacting and visiting with family and old friends from back home, and I learned more about my native township and county ​and its people than I knew growing up there,” he says.

But the book was a challenge, too, he says.

“I have written news stories for ​more than half a century. The difference in complexity between writing a news story and writing a book is the difference between an eight-piece wooden puzzle and a 1,000-piecer,” he says.

Maixner — who worked for Agweek in the magazine’s early years — has spent more than four decades in ag journalism and ag policy. His resume includes working as an aide in the U.S. House and Senate, editing The Kiplinger Agriculture Letter and serving as 201112 president of North American Agricultural Journalists, the professional organization for ag journalists in the United States and Canada.

He is now semi-retired, serving as contributing editor/writer for Agri-Pulse Communications. ​He decided to write the memoir when he retired from full-time work with Kiplinger at the end of 2014. “​In self-publishing one’s own book, there is a point one must ​click, ‘Publish my book.’ I have been on the way to that action for nearly two years. Still, it’s a scary moment,” he says.

TAIT AND KATE

Of course I know how to do that! business. If we don’t have the knowledge, experience or skills, we work with someone who does.

Compare rural revitalization with the old joke about a trip to the hardware store for parts. We’ll make the long story short: The one trip becomes several, because the homeowner convinced himself — or herself — he could do it himself. And, if he’s having a really bad day, the multiple trips to the hardware store become a call to a professional plumber. Ouch.

We’re not saying rural communities can’t spearhead their own revitalization efforts. But we do encourage people to: 1) do the research, and 2) evaluate what can realistically be done by community members versus what projects require skilled, experienced help.

How many rural cities decide on a whim to grab a backhoe and dig up the sewer main that’s causing problems?

Or get a group together Saturday afternoon to repair the curbs and gutters near the Jenkins’ place? Sure, they may hire locally when they can, but that’s the point — they hire someone who knows the business to get the job done right — the first time.

Rural revitalization is just as important as water, sewer and streets. Not just anyone can do it right. And, just like the failed plumbing repairs, the more tries you make at it, the more expensive it gets.

True revitalization means figuring out what a community has and what makes it tick, then building on the quality of life that’s already there.

It means change in some degree — change for the better.

There are plenty of experts who love rural communities and know how to revitalize the right way. Are you ready?

By Annette Tait & Katy “Kate” Kassian Fair warning: we’re on a tear about DIY — that’s do-it-yourself — projects. Not the kind that involve photos on Facebook or Pinterest or Instagram, but that’s a good place to start. We’ll get to the rural revitalization part in a minute… just bear with us.

First, let’s start with the DIY stuff.

You’ve seen them — the super cute photos of craft projects, cable reel furniture, pallet reclamation projects and other items that take “just a few little bits and scrap pieces” to make an oh-so-fashionable, can’t-live-without-it item for the home, yard or garden. Some are legitimately easy and truly do use a small number of things found in the average garage and/or junk drawer. Others take a degree in rocket science, quantum physics or both.

The latter projects always remind us of the signs found hanging among items offered for sale at craft fairs.

It never fails. Just about the time we’re thinking, “Hmmmm… I could do that…,” there’s a neatly framed, creatively stenciled, needlepointed or embroidered sign that reads, “Sure you can. But will you?”

And, if we will, are we truly up to the task? We’re pretty good hands with a lot of stuff. We’re both self-reliant women who are equally at home with power tools, good old-fashioned hand tools like hammers, saws and t-post drivers and multiple forms of technology. Plus we know our ways around sewing machines, glue guns and all sorts of other stuff we used to call home economics.

But there are also things we just don’t excel at. And the most important fact about that? We KNOW it.

We know the value of using not only the right tools, but also making sure we work with people who know their

Cattle graze at Jer-Lindy Farms in Brooten, Minn., on Tuesday, July 11, 2017. Milk from the cows will be used to produce cheese at Redhead Creamery, which is on the same premises as Jer-Lindy Farms.

Redhead Creamery: cheese whizzes Value-added ag can be fun

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer BROOTEN, Minn. — This is the story of a central Minnesota dairy family that wanted to add income to its operation and support the next generation.

It’s also the story of a young woman with a passion for making cheese and who, like her three sisters, is a pronounced redhead.

The extended Jennissen family and its Redhead Creamery are proof that value-added agriculture is always important and sometimes enjoyable, especially when done with family.

“People sometimes ask me, ‘What’s it like being in business with your family?’ And I tell them, ‘What could be more of a dream than having your children want to come home and being able to make that happen?,’” says Jerry Jennissen, who’s been in the dairy business since 1979.

The family’s dairy herd and 3-year old cheese company, which includes

a small on-site restaurant and retail store, is jointly owned by Jerry and his wife, Linda, their redheaded daughter Alise Sjostrom, and her husband, Lucas.

They milk 185 cows. About 7 percent of the milk produced by their herd goes to make their cheese.

“We’re trying to add value to our milk, and we are,” Jerry says.

The rest of their milk goes to Minnesota-based Bongards Creameries, a prominent cheesemaker and cooperative made up of hundreds of farm families.

“I always tell people the other 90-percent-plus of our milk goes to Minnesota’s second-best cheesemaker (Bongards),” Jerry says, stressing that Bongards has been very supportive of Redhead Creamery.

“We’re in completely different markets,” he says. “And we work together when we can.”

Alise says visitors and even neighbors sometimes are surprised to learn that Redhead Creamery features a state-inspected cheese plant.

“They don’t realize the scale of it, that it’s not something we do in our kitchen” she says.

Careers, cows Alise, now 31, has wanted to make farmstead cheese since she was 16 and took a 4-H trip to a Wisconsin cheesemaker. Returning home from the trip, she told her parents that she wanted to be part of the family business when she was grown, but not by milking cows.

“Milking cows wasn’t my thing. I wanted to do something different,” she says now.

After deciding to become a cheesemaker, she prepared herself through a number of jobs and training programs, including a seminar at the (now-closed) Ver­ mont Insti­ tute for Arti­san Cheese. She majored in agricultural industries and marketing, with a dairy food quality emphasis, at the University of Minnesota.

While in college, she fell in love with Lucas, also an ag student, who grew up on his family’s Hol­stein and diver­si­ fied crop farm in south­ern Min­nesota.

The two first met as children during an annual convention of the Minnesota Junior Holstein Association.

COVER STORY

REDHEAD From Page 12

Lucas has held several jobs in the dairy industry, currently serving as executive director of the Minnesota State Producers Association, while helping Alise pursue her dream of becoming a cheesemaker.

“It’s my wife’s dream and vision that we’re here (making cheese). I couldn’t be more proud to be her husband and her business partner. It’s been so much fun to be part of this short ride so far, and I hope it’s much longer,” Lucas says.

He says he spends a very limited amount of time on Redhead Creamery, primarily at night and on weekends.

“It’s almost more of a hobby for me, though it’s not a hobby,” he says.

“It’s a business. We control our own destiny. When things go well, it’s just so much fun. When things aren’t going so well, it’s on you — you’re the team that didn’t make it happen.”

Lucas says he hopes more Minnesota dairy producers will take on value-added operations.

The family business has won national recognition. Jer-Lindy Farms — the longstanding dairy part of the business and a play on the names of Jerry and Linda — was named 2017 Innovative Dairy Farmer of the Year by the award sponsors, the International Dairy Foods Association and Dairy Herd Management magazine.

The sponsors say Jer-Lindy Farms was one of the smallest businesses to win the annual award, which recognizes “U.S. dairy producers that apply creativity, excellence and forward thinking to achieve greater on-farm productivity and improved milk marketing.”

Employees, visitors The combined dairy and cheese operation employs 15 people, six full time and the others part time, who shift between the dairy and the creamery.

Attracting and retaining good employees is often a challenge for dairy operations, but the opportunity to work in a cheesemaking plant, too, adds variety and helps the Jennissens and Sjostroms find workers, Jerry and Linda say.

One of the employees is Jerry and Linda’s daughter, Maggie, 24, who joined the family business early this year. Maggie has a double degree in applied economics and psychology, and helps with marketing and finances. Her parents hope she eventually will become a part-owner of the business, too.

The on-site store and restaurant account for about 30 percent of Redhead Creamery’s sales. Specialty stores and restaurants, among other markets, account for the rest.

The store, restaurant, cheese plant and dairy operation offer regular tours, with many of the visitors coming from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

“Summer traffic has really picked up,” with 50 to 100 people visiting on a typical Saturday, Linda says.

Visitors’ questions are encouraged and appreciated. “People have a lot of questions, and we like to share our knowledge,” she says.

Sometimes that includes explaining why the dairy operation isn’t organic.

“We believe in science. Using the tools that science provides is the best way to farm and produce food for the world,” Jerry says.

Challenges, rewards Family members are interested in several potential changes to the business, including adding robots to reduce human labor and beginning to make butter and ice cream.

Redhead Creamery recently enjoyed a notable milestone: It cash-flowed for the month, which means more money came in than went out.

“Just because we’re doing it for this month doesn’t necessarily mean

we’ll do it next month, too,” Jerry says pragmatically that it’s an encouraging development nonetheless.

Alise says the family business, though challenging, is rewarding.

“The days can get pretty long.

But we’re doing what we want to be doing,” she says.

Buying local fuels communities and spurs growth

one for city use. The council president moved to purchase a used Case loader with attachments from the local dealership, and I seconded the motion.

It cost less to purchase used and local. However, local purchases are not always solely based on cost. Service and support after the sale can be equally important, especially when it comes to equipment that requires maintenance or repairs.

The council voted unanimously to approve the purchase. In the discussion before the vote, I said I liked buying local versus buying out of town. A councilperson shared comments that she doesn’t always buy local, sometimes because she can’t afford it.

Someone mentioned “my dime is not the same as yours.” Those words stuck with me.

Do I always buy local, personally?

No. However, I do try to purchase as much as I can in my small town and surrounding area. My goal is to buy 60 to 80 percent local in my town and surrounding rural area with the rest of my purchases online or out of town.

Even online, I seek small, independent businesses on Etsy or other online small business merchants. One year

Buxton, ND 1-888-836-4029 701-847-3131 AgassizSales.com

at Christmas, my goal was to buy 90 percent local or made in North Dakota.

I enjoyed the challenge.

My dime is the same as yours. If I spend gas and time traveling out of town or only make purchases online, my dime doesn’t support the people around me, as the 3/50 Project highlights. I know purchasing locally might sometimes cost more but I always want to give Wishek or an area independent business the chance first before purchasing elsewhere.

Personally, our family business, Pinke Lumber, wouldn’t be celebrating 40 years of business in Wishek this year if it weren’t for generations of families supporting local business.

Local businesses shouldn’t assume or take for granted area support. They shouldn’t demand it. They have to earn it. Seeing how my husband, fatherin-law and employees work to earn the trust and business of customers, I think small businesses work harder when it comes to the sales, service and details compared with any experience you’ve had with larger businesses, big box stores or online purchases. Local businesses own the relationship more.

They are your neighbors and in my

experience care more about your sale than anything I’ve ordered arriving in an Amazon Prime box.

We each must put forth an effort to buy what we can locally. I’ve experienced resistance a few times to buying local because of personal conflict or jealousy. Johnny won’t buy from Danny because he drives too nice of a pickup.

Jane won’t buy from Dorothy because of a conflict they had at church. I know it sounds petty and a little humorous, but we all know it’s true. I’m guilty of it myself.

In my elected role, I represent local taxpayers and am proud we purchased a piece of equipment in our small town.

I think the city set a good example while being stewards of our funds.

Purchasing locally supports jobs, families, small businesses and our community — it’s pivotal for our rural community to thrive.

What local, independent businesses would you miss if they closed their doors tomorrow? Pay them a visit.

Spend your money with them. Go ahead and tell them thank you, too.

By Katie Pinke Agweek Publisher I’m one year into a four-year term on the Wishek, N.D., City Council. At our recent monthly meeting, the importance of buying local came up in disKATIE cussion as it relates to a city purchase.

PINKE According to the 3/50 Project, an independent business effort, if you spend $100 locally at independent businesses, $68 return in tax revenue, payroll and expenditures.

For a national chain, it’s $43. If you only spend your money online, nothing remains local. As much as I love online shopping and the conveniences of big box stores, I make an effort to buy local in all areas of my life, which includes my public service role.

Chamber celebrates Women in Ag

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer JAMESTOWN, N.D. — When Alicia Harstad, Courtney VanDyke and Tiffany Rudolph started thinking about holding an event specific to women in agriculture, they didn’t know how the effort would be received.

They planned an Aug. 3 event that would take up to 40 women by bus from Jamestown, N.D., to Carrington, N.D., to tour Dakota Sun Gardens & Winery. The trio set things up, then waited to see whether anyone would be interested in the Women in Ag event.

With almost no advertising, the event sold out. The evening included a scavenger hunt, dinner and wine tasting.

“We really hope people get an opportunity to network and to learn from each other and celebrate their role in agriculture,” Harstad said.

VanDyke explained she, Harstad and Rudolph are members of the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce’s Ag & Energy Committee. After realizing how many of the committees events were tailored toward men, they decided to put together an event that would be catered to — and exclusively for — women.

Women, said VanDyke, do the same on-the-farm jobs as men in many cases. According to the 2012 Census of Agriculture, Stutsman County that year had 383 farms and 392 women listed as operators on those farms.

Ninety nine of the women were considered the “principal operators.”

The event, however, wasn’t just for farm or ranch women in the traditional sense, but for women working in any aspect of agriculture. VanDyke, who farms “on the side” with her husband, works in ag lending for Bank Forward in Jamestown. Other attendees worked for implement dealers, insurance agencies, government agencies and other fields of agriculture, along with many who do live or work on farms.

VanDyke pointed out that women hold many financial and marketing roles in agriculture, as well as producing many value-added products, from homemade soaps to herbal teas.

“We wanted to be sure to recognize them and have a fun night out for the ladies,” she said.

A calm, temperate night provided an excellent opportunity for visiting and networking at the Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce’s Ag and Energy Committee’s Women in Ag event on Aug. 3, 2017.

Once in Carrington, the group was met by Dakota Sun owners Bruce and Merleen Gussiaas, who explained their own agricultural background and journey into winemaking. Then, the women set out on a scavenger hunt set up by VanDyke to look for different figurines in the gardens.

Wine tasting and dinner on the patio followed. The evening was unusually calm and temperate, allowing for conversation while tasting 10 of the wines made at Dakota Sun. Afterward, many in the group went to the wine tasting room to purchase bottles to take home. A couple of favorites seemed to be Blackberry Delight and Haskap wines.

When the bus arrived back in Jamestown, the group gave the organizers a resounding round of applause, indicating repeat events likely will find as much of an audience.

That is the committee’s plan.

“We hope to continue doing events like this in the future,” Harstad said.

They also used the event to garner nominations for their new Agricultural Women of the Year award. Nominations for the award, for women who live within 75 miles of Jamestown, are due Dec. 31. The award will be presented at the chamber’s annual Farmers Appreciation Banquet in February 2018. For more information on the award, call 701-252-4830.

MN: Sweet spot in Corn Belt on crop conditions

By Michelle Rook Special to Agweek MORGAN, Minn. — Crop ratings for corn and soybeans nationally have been running well below last year for much of the growing season and major production states are following suit.

One exception has been Minnesota, where the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s most recent crop ratings were 80 percent good to excellent for corn, down 1 percent from last week, with soybeans rated at 74 percent, up 1 percent.

The question is whether or not this will translate into high yields for the state and if Minnesota will be anywhere close to last year’s recordsetting corn and soybean production.

Dave Nicolai, University of Minnesota Extension educator for crops, says Minnesota is faring better than other areas of the Corn Belt, especially compared to the droughtstricken Dakotas.

However, even the I-states have been challenged, which is reflected in their declining crop ratings.

“Illinois and Indiana have had their challenges, too, and even parts of Iowa, so I think if you look at that situation here, Minnesota is kind of a sweet spot in retrospect,” says Nicolai.

However, Nicolai says the state is a tale of two crops, with the east faring better than the west. “The crop looks very good in a lot of the parts of the state, especially south central, eastern Minnesota,” he says. That’s because those areas have received ample moisture, so farmers there are optimistic about corn yields.

Bruce Schmoll farms near Claremont, Minn., in the southeast corner of the state.

“Actually I think we’re going to be comparable to last year if things

Michelle Rook/Special to Agweek

Soybeans in Minnesota have had some planting and emergence issues this year, but are still looking better than soybean crops in surrounding states. progress the way they are,” says Schmoll. “Our corn just tasseled out last week so we had decent weather for that — not real hot and dry. I’m anticipating we can get that 220- to 230-bushel yield on the corn side.”

However, as you move to the north and west, precipitation has been below normal.

“We had about 4.5 inches about six weeks ago, and we’ve had two or three tenths since, so we’re probably two or three inches behind,” says Ron Obermoller of Brewster, Minn.

That, combined with the heat during pollination, will result in lower yields than a year ago on corn. “Last year we had best crop ever,” he says.

“We probably averaged 210, and I’m guessing we’re already 20 bushels off of that in corn.”

In central Minnesota, dryness is also becoming a concern for Tom Haag of Eden Valley.

“Now the last two to three weeks we haven’t caught the key rains,” he says. “Our clay knobs are starting to show the stress so we know we don’t have the yield that we do in the lower part of the field.”

He says that is lowering yield potential, especially compared to 2016.

“Last year we were in that 185 bushel range. This year we’re probably more in that average,” says Haag. “We’re

hoping for 160 to 165 bushel on corn.”

If it stays dry, Haag thinks that will impact test weights.

“Right now, I would say we’re on average with test weights, but a lot depends upon if we don’t get the moisture to help fill that ear out. We will then have lighter test weight,” he says.

There’s still time for the soybeans, but farmers are not quite as optimistic about the prospects for this year’s crop because of the planting and emergence issues. In Western Minnesota, Bob Worth of Lamberton has been lucky to receive some timely rains the rest of the area has missed out on. However, the crop got off to a poor start.

“We had a lot of variabilities when we put the crop in — some couldn’t get it in on time and then we had some drowned outs, we had some replants, we had all kinds of these small issues,” says Worth. Due to these factors, he believes his soybean yields will be down from last year as well.

“We’re going to be above trendline, but we’re not going to be where we were last year so we’re probably talking about 180 to 190 bushel corn, and we’re probably talking 50 to 60 bushel beans,” Worth says.

With the variability across the state, Nicolai says average yields in Minnesota won’t break last year’s records for corn or beans either.

“South central Minnesota can help to pick up a lot of the state and move it towards trendline, but I don’t think we’re looking for a record crop obviously given the current situation and moisture situation.”

Disease threat at bay: ballplayers in a major league baseball game,” Metzger says, looking at a beet field on the Haugrud Farms Inc., near Rothsay, Minn., on Aug. 4. “If you coach them right, you can win the game. But the other team is going to get a few runs. That’s why we still see some lesions out here, but it’s well below the economic threshold.”

Metzger and field agronomist Cody Wahlstrom explained the finer points of verifying to Lance Johnson of Haugrud Farms Inc. It’s not always easy to differentiate cercospora from other bacterial diseases. Cercospora is a “necrotroph,” meaning that it is a parasitic organism that produces a toxin that kills living cells of the host and then feeds on the dead matter, Metzger says.

Wahlstrom and Johnson held up the leaves to the sun to see a tell-tale “red halo,” which indicates the toxin at work. The agronomists gave Johnson tips on how to use a relatively inexpensive hand-held microscope to look at the lesions.

“You’re actually looking for little white spikes up there — that’s the mycelium,” Metzger says, referring

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer ROTHSAY, Minn. — After cercospora leaf spot robbed sugar beet yields last year, farmers this year have largely kept ahead of it.

Cercospora is the most devastating foliar leaf disease that the region’s sugar beets encounter. Farmers deal with it every year, losing sugar, root quality and storability, as well as processing efficiency.

In the 2016 crop, environmental factors lined up to create a “massive cercospora pressure, with beets that should have looked green like ‘a field of tobacco,’” says Mike Metzger, research agronomist for Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative in Wahpeton, N.D. “Coupled with that we had the strobulurin fungicides (brand names include Headline, Priaxor and Gem) fail on us because the disease has become resistant to them,” Metzger says, adding, that Minn-Dak no longer recommends the products because “they are essentially non-effective.”

Beet growers this year have shifted to Super Tins (triphenyl tin hydroxides) and the triozoles (Eminent, Spire, Proline) “to protect those two chemistries,” he says. Minn-Dak recommends tank mix partners with every one of them.

“We have to,” Metzger says. “And so we alternate with tank mix partners throughout the season.”

Minn-Dak introduced a five-time spraying regimen in 2017 to counter the disease, while Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative at Renville, Minn., has a seven-spray program.

American Crystal Sugar Co. in Moorhead, Minn., started with a fourto six-spray regimen, but favorable weather allowed them to pull back to three- to five-spray programs this year, with most spraying four times.

Cory Skauge, an agriculturist with American Crystal Sugar Co. in the company’s Moorhead factory district, says his growers have been doing a good job of keeping ahead of cercospora this year.

Despite the cercospora impacts last year, both co-ops had large yields anyway, and both have cut back acres in 2017 to right-size their crops with factory capacities. Minn-Dak cut acreage by 17 percent after having to leave 12 percent of last year’s crop in the field and processing beets into June.

Using this year’s cercospora-fighting recipe is like using “Triple A

Judge names receiver for McMartin BMO Harris alleges fraud in $43M bank debt

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A federal judge on Aug. 8 granted BMO Harris Bank N.A.’s motion to put a receiver in charge of gathering personal assets of Ron McMartin Jr. to pay off creditor claims and denied the farmer’s effort to dismiss the case.

The bank alleges the large-scale, specialty crops farmer, formerly based in northeast North Dakota, purposefully engaged in a pattern and practice of misrepresentation to obtain or continue credit from the bank.

McMartin’s lawyer, Jon Brakke of Fargo, N.D., says he hadn’t responded earlier because he was asking for the dismissal or change in venue to North Dakota.

“Now that that has been denied, we will have to put in an answer, and you will see our rejection,” Brakke says.

He says one area of dispute is how much of McMartin’s personal assets, if any, are encumbered by the loans.

U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank in Minneapolis granted the receivership motion and appointed Philip Kunkel, a St. Cloud, Minn., lawyer, as receiver. . McMartin was the sole-owner of McM Inc., of St. Thomas, N.D The farm had operations in North Dakota and Minnesota, farming up to 50,000 acres of red potatoes, corn, wheat, soybeans, dry edible beans and sugar beets.

McMartin and McM since 2012 had accumulated debts of $50 million, including $43 million from the bank, and “convinced the bank to extend or continue these loans by providing false financial statements to the bank,” the bank said in the receivership request. In court documents the bank also claimed McMartin had failed to comply with terms of loans and had converted loan proceeds and collateral for purposes not permitted by contracts.

As of Jan. 30, BMO Harris Bank said $42.2 million in principal was due: $32 million for the revolving line of credit; $1.4 million for a hedge line; and $8.8 million for the 2016 input loan.

Trevor Peterson / Forum News Service

Ron McMartin Jr., president of McM Inc., a sprawling high-value specialty crop farm based in St. Thomas, N.D. On Feb. 2, the bank lawyers alleged McMartin had “fraudulently misrepresented — by millions of dollars — the financial statements and financial information which it delivered to the bank in support of McM’s requests for advances under its revolving credit line with the Bank, and otherwise intentionally converted or transferred the bank’s collateral, including cash proceeds thereof, to third parties without the knowledge or consent of the bank.”

McM’s corporate bankruptcy filing listed about $50 million in debts, including the $42.2 million to BMO Harris, and about $10.2 million in assets. The 40,000 acres in the farm went on to be farmed by others. (The Kenny Johnson family of Walhalla, N.D., one of McM’s landlords, scrambled to form Elk Valley Farms LLP, to handle 20,000 acres of the land.)

Brakke on Feb. 23 asked the receivership case be dismissed or moved to North Dakota. In March, the bank’s lawyer, Thomas J. Lallier of Minneapolis, called the change-of-venue request a “shameless attempt to delay this case and divert the court’s attention from his fraudulent conduct.”

BMO noted the venue was spelled out in contract and McMartin lives in the Minnesota district. As evidence, they the September/October 2016 issue of Lake and Home Magazine, which featured McMartin’s home on Island Lake, Minn. “quite possibly purchased and built with the bank’s money.”

The motion for change of venue was denied on Aug. 8.

In late April, Lallier asked Frank to confer about whether McMartin

would intend to file his own personal bankruptcy prior to a May 5 hearing.

“If a personal bankruptcy by Mr. McMartin is a certainty, it would be inefficient, inconvenient and costly for the Bank and this counsel to prepare for and attend the May 5, 2017 hearing,” Lallier said. He noted that in a March 27 state court divorce proceeding in Grand Forks District Court, McMartin “represented to the court ... that a bankruptcy filing by him is inevitable.”

Lining it up The receivership request offers a glimpse of the bank’s version of the bank-borrower relationship.

McM initially had a revolving line of credit for $25 million on his first master loan, dated July 31, 2012, documents say. McM granted security interest in all of the corporation’s personal property, the bank said, but Brakke says he isn’t sure any of McMartin’s property will relate to the receivership.

McM had interest in a list of 19 partnerships, the bank said. The company pledged 293 shares of American Crystal Sugar Co., stock and unit retains. It assigned crop insurance proceeds.

Significantly, the bank claims McMartin offered “a security interest in all of his personal property.”

On June 29, 2016, McM retained James E. Harney of Harney Management Partners LLC, Austin, Texas, as “a turnaround consultant,” the bank said. In July 2016, Harney told the bank that projected potato proceeds for 2015 would be $7 million, versus $10 million previously projected by

McM and McMartin, and the bank hired Agribusiness Consulting Group LLC to do a field audit.

Later that month, in Grand Forks, McM acknowledged owing $4 million for seed, and then four days later, another $4.38 million, and another $3 million for 2015 crop season payables that were not disclosed earlier.

“Because the 2016 loan funds had been used to pay 2015 crop input expenses, McM obtained additional input financing of more than $5.6 million for the 2016 crop from other vendors and lenders,” the bank said.

McMartin “admitted these facts” only after he was presented with credit evidence. Harney concluded that McM’s accounts receivable and inventory were overstated by at least $11 million.

Advance to arrear In early 2016, the bank received fiscal year-end statements that indicated McM had $3.39 million as an “investment in future crop” for seed, chemicals and fertilizers. But BMO said that in fact McM had obligations for the 2015 crop of $3 million and was “in arrears, not in advance for 2016.”

The bank said McMartin told them he would plant 38,761 acres in 2016, “to make it look as though cost per acre was reasonable and that McM was reasonably expecting certain revenues to be paid as a result of sales of its 2015 potatoes.” Instead, BMO contends he only planted 29,087 acres for McM in 2016. The 9,451-acre difference was owned by Ronald G. McMartin Sr., through a McMartin Ronald Sr. & Bonita joint venture.

In May 2016, the bank said McM misrepresented financial statements from the first quarter, including overstatement of receivables for potato inventory and for “investment in growing crop.”

In June 2016, the bank said McM overstated revenues. Since fewer acres were planted than the budget assumed, crop loans were more than needed, and McM overstated accounts receivable and inventories by $11 million. The bank said McMartin directed McM to use at least $3 million of loans for uses other than input costs and operating expenses.

While McMartin and McM misused loan proceeds, the bank said they also sought “additional financing from other vendors and lenders,” which may mean the collateral is encumbered by others.

Devils Lake hog opponents host tour Cite ‘crazy’ health issues, fields as ‘dump sites’

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Opponents of the proposed Grand Prairie Gestation Farm near Devils Lake, N.D., held a hog barn and manure dump site tour on Aug. 10.

The tours were organized by Lake Region Concerned Citizens, a group opposed to the farm, which plans to have up to 997 animal units — not enough to be considered a concentrated animal feeding operation. If built, it will supply pigs to other farrowing barns that would produce piglets to go to farms that would finish them for market.

Aaron Elshaug, a local pest control worker and a member of Lake Region Concerned Citizens, says there are about 600 people in the group, though he’s only seen about 125 at a given location. He says about 35 people attended the Aug. 10 tours.

The group contends the proposed hog farm will have adverse health effects for people in the community.

The North Dakota Department of Health plans to hold a public meeting to describe the health permit process for the farm. The meeting is tentatively scheduled for 3 p.m. Aug. 23, at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake, says Marty Haroldson of the department’s Division of Water Quality.

A public hearing on the permit itself and a comment period will come when the proposed permit is established, Haroldson explains.

‘Get the facts’ Taylor Aasmundstad, a partner in the farm, says the group didn’t talk to him about doing any hosting or presentation at the tours, and the proposed farm site itself is posted for trespassing. He hopes people get the facts in the health department meetings but otherwise didn’t comment. The $6 million farm could start construction in the spring of 2018.

Janelle Howard Engstrom of York, N.D., 48, has been making Facebook posts on behalf of the Lake Region Concerned Citizens. Engstrom is a

small grains farmer with her husband, Terry Engstrom. She also owns Jan’s RV Park & Lodge at Leeds, N.D., which caters to people who recreate on Devils Lake.

Her family owns land on Grahams Island, close to the state park. She says the proposed farm is “threatening the lake, the lives of those who use it and the community as a whole.”

“There are currently 20 proposed dump sites,” she says, referring to the approximate number of farm fields the proponents have identified as sites to accept manure for fertilizer.

“Some of the proposed sites are on land in direct contact with the lake, some sites are in direct contact with land where people have their well for drinking water, and some of the sites are feet away from campgrounds and homes,” Engstrom writes in a recent Facebook post. The hog farm itself is 300 feet from an active cemetery.

A ‘crazy amount’ In her post, Engstrom quotes medical studies that indicate higher incidence of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) disease for people who “live near hog farms or fields ‘fer-

tilized’ by hog waste.” MRSA is caused by a type of staph bacteria that has become resistant to many antibiotics.

The National Pork Producers Council, an industry group, says other studies show hog farming doesn’t create an increased risk for staph infections.

Engstrom claims a “crazy amount” of respiratory and digestive disorders are connected to hog farms, and she cites reports of pig waste pollution in an Illinois creek in 2012.

Engstrom in the Facebook posting urges people to contact farmers who are offering land for spread sites.

“And as a landowner, DO NOT ALLOW them to spread waste on your land,” Engstrom writes. “Think of those who live by these sites.”

The farm will be owned locally, but Engstrom refers to it as a “corporate” hog farm.

“This corporate hog farm does not care about our community or those it is a danger to,” she said. “They care about money and nothing else.”

The Aasmundstad family has been farming in the region for decades. Taylor’s father, Eric Aasmundstad, is a former president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau, and the family lives in a home on Devils Lake.

Learning to fight the foe: Palmer amaranth trip planned

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer Palmer amaranth, a dangerous and destructive weed, is coming to North Dakota. A mid-August training trip to Nebraska, in which Agweek is participating, will help agriculturalists in the state and elsewhere be better prepared when the weed arrives.

“We’ll learn first-hand how not only the extension service but also how retailers and service providers are attacking Palmer amaranth in soybean and corn production in Nebraska,” says Tom Peters, Extension sugar beet weed specialist for North Dakota State University and the University of Minnesota.

The Aug. 14-18 trip was organized by the NDSU Extension Service and is sponsored by the North Dakota Soybean Council. About 40 people, primarily extension service officials, will attend.

“We can’t take everybody to Nebraska. But what we can do is train the trainers,” or educate a small num-

ber of agriculturalists who, in turn, will educate others about the weed, Peters says.

Nebraska was selected for the training trip because agriculturalists there have experience in battling the weed and because of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Pesticide Application Technology Lab, which features wind tunnels in which pesticide applications are tested, Peters says.

The trip includes field tours, too.

Participants will learn how to better identify and control the weed, which can damage farm equipment and cripple yields. Yield losses of up to 91 percent in corn and 79 percent in soybeans have been reported.

Palmer amaranth — voted the most troublesome weed in the U.S. by the Weed Science Society of America — closely resembles pigweed and waterhemp, especially when small, sometimes causing farmers to misidentify it and take inadequate steps to control it. And because Palmer amaranth

is a prolific producer of extremely small seed, it’s relatively easy for farmers to spread it unintentionally.

What’s more, the fast-growing weed is unusually competitive with most crops, including corn and soybeans.

The weed already has been found in southern Minnesota and parts of South Dakota and continues to spread north and west. Experts say Palmer amaranth almost certainly will come to North Dakota, as well as to Montana, northwest Minnesota and parts of South Dakota now free of the weed.

Agweek’s Jonathan Knutson and Nick Nelson will be on the Nebraska trip. Look for stories, photos and video on www.agweek.com and the Agweek page on Facebook during the week of Aug. 14 and for stories and photos in the magazine’s Aug. 21 and Aug. 28 print issues.

Email Knutson at jknutson@ agweek.com if you have specific questions about the weed that you’d like him to ask.

CROP CONSULTANT CORNER

Harvest has begun in northeast North Dakota Harvest season has started for a handful of farmers in my area.

Winter wheat is done.

Barley is just starting, and spring wheat will be coming off in big acres the next two to three weeks.

MARK Barley looks to be an HUSO average to above average crop in this area. A majority of fields had sufficient moisture, and being an early season crop, it avoided much of the heat stress we received a couple of weeks ago. More of my farmers have adapted to straight cutting barley in recent years so harvest is delayed slightly to let the straw dry down.

Swathers have been busy for those still using that practice and most of those acres have been cut and are starting to get picked up.

Spring wheat will be a decent crop for a majority of farmers in my area.

Fields near Fordville and Park River, N.D., may see some shorter yields due to lack of rainfall on the lighter soils.



In 2016 this area was some of the best wheat I had seen, but when the rain didn’t come as often this season, the sandy soil reacts quickly.

We are anxious to get into the spring wheat crop and compare some of the newer varieties. Faller and Prosper still look very strong. Westbred 9507 and 9653 appear to have filled well and standing nicely. Croplan 3530 is new for a few of my farmers, and that variety also looks to have high end yield potential.

The University of Minnesota’s latest wheat release, Shelly, is in a few fields for me and appears to have filled well. It will be interesting to see how it compares. AgriPro Valda and Ingmar will be towards the top as well.

Ingmar typically isn’t the high-yield type, but it looks very nice right now.

We still have other varieties, such as Rollag, Linkert, Mayville and Croplan 3419, and most of them look nice in the field. It will simply come down to how they yield and what levels of protein we end up with.

Canola swathing is about to start for some of my farmers. This year I

have a few more acres of those wanting to direct harvest canola, and they picked a good year to do it. Canola is standing well and seems very even in its maturing process compared to previous years.

Most farmers will desiccate the canola before harvesting it, but I have a couple of fields that are maturing so even that we are just going to let it mature on its own without any harvest aid. Not all canola escaped the high temperatures from two weeks ago. We are seeing some flowers and pods that got shut down during those hot days which will affect yield somewhat.

Soybean farmers have been busy managing the aphid pressure. Highway 2 has somewhat been a natural line this season. A majority of the fields north of Highway 2 have needed two applications in the last month, where many of our fields south of the highway have yet to be sprayed once.

The soybeans look nice right now, but to be above average we will need some moisture in the next couple of weeks.

This time of year is bittersweet for

What a coincidence. We’re in the growth business, too.

me as I anxiously await harvest and help my father-in-law take his crop off. However, I have to say goodbye to my seasonal college interns as they head back to college. This season I was very fortunate to have outstanding help to assist with the scouting season.

From University of Minnesota-Crookston, I had Jeremy Schonauer, Wyatt Huso, Logan Huso and Kamron Matejcek. From the Lake Region State Precision Ag Program in Devils Lake, I had Adam Olhauser. Brent Messner from McVille, N.D., is Huso Crop Consulting’s main employee and crop scout. I would also like to thank Ryan Twedt, a previous college intern who was able to help when needed during the season.

Wishing all a safe and successful harvest!!

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer WASHINGTON D.C. — The Upper Midwest is in the grips of a historic drought, pretty close on the heels of several historic floods.

Both extremes cause devastating, expensive problems for agriculture.

But agronomist Andrea Basche thinks an answer to improving outcomes for droughts and floods might be the same.

“It might surprise people that soil can be a part of the solution,” Basche says. “Soil can offset some of the impacts related to drought and flood.”

Basche was the lead researcher on a report entitled, “Turning Soils into Sponges: How Farmers Can Fight Floods and Droughts.” Practices like no-till farming and using cover crops or perennials to maintain year-round soil coverage could be keys to managing moisture levels, her research suggests.

Basche received a doctorate in agronomy and sustainable agriculture at Iowa State University in 2015 and is now a Kendall Science Fellow in the Food & Environment program at the Union of Concerned Scientists, a non profit science advocacy organization.

“I really got excited about agriculture while learning about climate change impacts,” Basche explains.

With climate change comes more extreme weather, like the drought currently gripping most of North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana.

Basche’s research looked at existing studies in soil health to analyze how agricultural practices could change outcomes during extreme conditions.

The study focused on Iowa, because of Basche’s familiarity with the state and because it is representative of Midwestern agriculture.

The study looked at no-till techniques, cover crops, alternative grazing systems, crop systems integrating livestock grazing, and perennial crops, and provided estimates for what would have happened had those techniques been used during recent floods and droughts in Iowa.

“And our model predicts that by shifting the most-erodible or least-profitable regions of Iowa to systems using perennial and cover crops, farmers could reduce rainfall runoff by up to 20 percent in flood events and make as much as 16 percent more water available to crops in droughts,” the study says.

A shift to more perennials could mean more land in grass for haying or grazing, or it could include use of a perennial grain like kernza that could be hayed, grazed or harvested for a cash crop, Basche says.

Burleigh County, in central North Dakota, was among the first counties to have drought conditions show up this year and now is considered in extreme drought. Yet Menoken Farm, a conservation demonstration farm, on Aug. 9 harvested a field of peas that yielded 43 bushels per acre — on a field that used cover crops.

Darrell Oswald, manager of Menoken Farm and a district technician with Burleigh County Soil Conservation District, says some tools, like no-till techniques, have become common, and others, like use of cover crops with livestock, are catching on.

Oswald says Menoken Farm has had failures, too, but the unexpected pea yield shows how soil health principles and the use of year-round cover can provide consistency.

Menoken Farm, an effort of the Burleigh County Soil Conservation District, uses five principles for building soil health: soil armor, minimal soil disturbance, plant diversity, continual live plant/root and livestock integration.

“The more soil health principles you employ, the more resiliency there is in the system,” Oswald says. “And it’s more forgiving.”

“Every inch counts in a drought,” Basche says.

Basche’s report gives ways to get farmers onboard with changing their management techniques, including providing incentives through farm bill programs.

Basche advises experimenting on small acres and finding leaders in the community who already have found success in alternative techniques.

Oswald, also a fourth-generation rancher, says Menoken Farm tries to provide that moral support.

With the increased cost of damages from flood and drought, Basche says “we can’t afford not to” invest in solutions.

“We need to be prepared for the next drought or flood that is waiting around the corner,” Basche says.

“Farmers shouldn’t be left only with the options of early harvest or selling off livestock.”

Rothsay, Minn., seed farmers upbeat

Grateful for rains in a drought year

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer ROTHSAY, Minn. — The guys at Haugrud Farms Inc., are upbeat about the prospects for their certified wheat and soybean seed crops, as well as potential yields for their commercial sugar beet crops.

Bryant Haugrud manages the farm with his brother, Brent, and is in the seed business that their father, Harlan, 86, started about 60 years ago near Rothsay, Minn. Brent’s son, Ben, also is in the operation, as well as Bryant’s son-in-law, Lance Johnson.

The Haugruds feel grateful for sufficient rains in a year when others haven’t been as fortunate. This growing season started excessively wet, then went dry for a month, and recently has provided rains sufficient to complete the wheat crop. They’ll need timely rains for the soybeans and beets. Bryant says the sugar beet crop is looking excellent. With recent rains he thinks a 30-ton-per-acre crop is attainable on his farm.

“Right now the wheat looks really, really good,” Haugrud says. “The price of wheat has come up a lot.

It’s come back (down) some, but it’s better than what we were looking at this spring. We’re hoping for 70- to 80-bushel wheat.”

Brent on Aug. 4 was working on a tractor’s electronics and son-inlaw, Johnson, was installing a John Deere ATU 200 autosteer kit on a 9660 combine.

The Haugrud land is a mix of heavy clay to sandy spots. Some of the wheat on poorer ground may be ready to harvest by mid-August, but much of it will be harvested in three weeks. The soybeans are looking “very healthy” for the most part.

Some of the wheat in the area has lain down under the weight of recent rains “We’re hoping it’ll pop up,” he says, noting the heads are filling as its laying down.

Roger Whippler, foundation seed manager for the Minnesota Crop Improvement Association , happened to arrive the day Agweek visited Haugrud Farms. Whippler was in the area checking for seed quality and potential for oat, wheat, barley and soybean varieties. He said he’s keep-

Lance Johnson on Aug. 4 installs a John Deere autosteer system on a 9660 combine that will be in service for the 2017 harvest at Haugrud Farms, Inc., near Rothsay, Minn. ing a hopeful watch on Lang-MN, a new hard red spring wheat variety released by the University of Minnesota this year. It’s touted for a good defensive trait against scab, as well as good protein and yield potential.

Johnson says he doesn’t take the Rothsay rains for granted. His father, Roger Johnson, farming back in the Britton, S.D., area, has been wondering whether the corn there would make a crop in a year where he’s gotten only about half an inch of rain since June 1.

“I’VE RUN JUST ABOUT EVERY KIND OF SPRAYER. WE LIKE CASE IH AND AIM COMMAND PRO BEST.” Rob Wyum—Rutland, ND As a former custom spray operator, Rob Wyum knows the value of the Case IH Patriot sprayer. His 3340 sprayer is equipped with 120foot booms.

As a college intern at a co-op elevator, Rob Wyum drove a RoGator sprayer and says: “I first noticed the Case IH sprayer on a windy day. My boss came out and shut me down due to the wind. On our way back to town, we passed a Case IH sprayer still spraying. I noticed the pulsating spray application and no drift and thought, ‘They’re still going. Cool.’”

Custom spray owner After college, Rob started a custom spray business with family members and grew the business to own two 4420 Case IH Patriot sprayers. Rob says, “In the last eight years, I’ve run just about every brand of sprayer.”

Rob is now with his family’s farm, which has a long history with sprayers.

No-till since the 1980s, the Wyum family upgraded their sprayer early in 2016. He says: “Our planters have individual row unit shut-off, so it made sense to do the same with our sprayer. Combined with the corner spray volume compensation, Aim Command Pro gives us more precise spray application.

“We also appreciate the weight distribution, reliability, smooth ride and quiet cab. Our only trouble has been self-inflicted, and our local Case IH dealer’s service is excellent. Most of our problems are solved over the phone.”

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers opened the week steady to 4.00 higher. However, feeders took a downturn later in the week trading 3.00- 10.00 lower.

Southeast feeder markets were mixed, trading 8.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Early-week demand was moderate to good on active trading, with moderate at best on later week sales. There was optimism going into the week, in spite of August having a bad reputation for being tough on the markets. Producers felt confident, cashing in on last week’s gains and order buyers ignoring the negative signals in the market place. These signals could not be ignored any longer on Wednesday as the CME feeder cattle futures closed down the limit on contracts through January and live cattle futures posted triple digit losses. Buyers were forced to pay for cattle at discounts to breakeven or make a profit. Live cattle futures for August closed the week below support levels at 109.72 and feeder cattle at 141.77 on the August contract. Despite the lower market, low feed costs and the surplus of corn in farmer feeder country continues to spur demand for steers. Prices in the Northern Plains and upper Midwest continue to be the highest in the nation. Cattle producers in that area are taking advantage of the market before demand decreases as farmers will soon be busy with corn and soybean harvest. USDA’s August supply and demand report was released Thursday, projecting a higher than expected corn yield of 169.5 bushels per acre, which is still at a comfortable level to satisfy demand for cattle feeders. Corn production is estimated at 14.153 billion bushels, and corn ending stocks were estimated at 2.273 billion bushels. If these projections hold true, this year’s crop will be the third highest on record for yield and production. Feedlot trade occurred on Tuesday in Kansas with live sales trading 1.00-2.00 lower than last week mostly at 115.00 and in Nebraska dressed sales sold 2.00-3.00 lower at 185.00. More cleanup trade ensued on Wednesday trading steady to Tuesday with live sales in Kansas at 115.00 and dressed sales in Nebraska at 185.00. The Texas Panhandle started negotiating slaughter cattle on Wednesday with live trades 2.50-3.00 lower at 115.00 and Nebraska 2.00 lower at 116.00 as compared to the previous week. The last time cash fed prices and spot live cattle futures were this low was in December 2016. The cooler temperatures throughout the past two weeks has helped relieve cattle from heat stress and allowed them to perform well in the feed yards. Livestock have seen quick gains from the previous month. Choice boxed-beef closed Friday 4.01 lower at 199.60 with Select 1.19 lower at 196.12 when compared to last Friday’s close. Auction volume this week included 55 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 38 percent heifers.

USDA shocks markets with bearish estimates

By Alex Norton Beeson Inc. The U.S. government released its monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Report this week. The August report traditionally is one of the most watched and greatly anticipated of the year, as it holds the first survey-based yield estimates for spring crops. All of the previous reports for the coming new crop hold a yield that is based purely on historical statistics. The August report takes surveys from growers and U.S. Department of Agriculture officials and compiles them into a yield estimate for the spring crops, taking the actual crop and growing conditions into consideration.

This year, the weather has not been quite as favorable as the previous, with obvious drought problems all spring and early summer in the Northern Plains, and some heat and dryness stressing crops in the Corn Belt in July. For that reason, many expected some fairly large declines in yield from the estimates made earlier in the year (again, statistics-based).

Spring wheat yields fell as expected.

But the biggest story was about corn and soybeans. Corn yield was expected to fall to 166 bushels per acre from 170.7 but only fell modestly to 169.5.

This is still a decent crop, and the market was very surprised, falling sharply. Soybeans also surprised the market, with an unanticipated yield increase to 49.4 bushels per acre from 48 bushels per acre, previously. The entire ag complex saw lower prices

with this report, and the stage is set for a less bullish than expected tone heading into the final months of the growing season.

Wheat The wheat market has been under pressure as the bigger, global picture has overshadowed what has been going on in the Northern Plains. While spring wheat has been suffering, there remains plenty of wheat in the world.

France has recovered well after last year’s crop disaster. Russia increased planted area for their winter wheat crop and after some great weather, is now harvesting a bumper crop. These countries supply a lot of the world with their wheat (along with the U.S., Canada, Australia and other European countries). So while high-protein, high-quality wheat will remain at a premium, there is a lot of wheat weighing on the market.

In the U.S., winter wheat harvest is very nearly done at 94 percent completion. And spring wheat harvest is getting going, with 24 percent completion. Look for plenty of acres of spring wheat to be abandoned given

the poor crop, which should speed up harvest activity.

Durum The durum market has stabilized, with crop losses understood from a pricing perspective. The heat and dryness in the Northern Plains in the U.S. and nearby area of Canada has cut output potential for the 2017-18 crop.

Canola The canola market has been supported of late. Strength in the soybean oil market (until Thursday’s big decline following the USDA report) has spilled over. Additionally, there has been extreme tightness of old crop canola supplies heading into the end of the 2016-17 season. The big uncertainty remains on how bad the crop in the Southern Prairies really is compared to how good the crop is in the Northern Prairies. If it turns out that the southern crop is worse than expected, supplies will be tighter as harvest gets going and the market would be supported.

Peas & Lentils Pulse markets have some mixed drivers, making pricing difficult to predict. Weather has been an obvious issue, as production outlook for peas and lentils has been impacted by the heat and dryness in the Plains.

This expectation of lower output is a clear support. However, the dryness is allowing for quick harvest in the U.S., which is a trend that will likely continue and move into Canada.

The USDA reported 55 percent of the U.S. pea crop has been harvested compared to 50 percent usually. And while the dry weather is impacting yield, it does help with the quality of the crop that is harvested.

On the international front, India remains in the market’s focus as pulse import quotas are back in the news.

This time, pigeon pea (also known as “tur”) has been limited to 200,000 metric tons until March 2018. These import quotas diminish available markets for pulse exports from Canada and the U.S.

Mustard Canadian mustard seed ending stocks for the 2016-17 crop year have increased to 11,600 metric tons from 6,300 metric tons last year. While this does not reflect the supplies in processing or on farms, it does indicate that farmers are holding onto large stocks given the reduction in planted area for the 2017-18 crop.

Barley The USDA cut the barley yield estimate modestly in its report on Aug. 10 to 72.1 bushels per acre from 73.5 bushels per acre previously. This resulted in a small decline in ending stocks (totaling just 3 million bushels) as nothing was changed on the demand side of the balance sheet.

Barley conditions took a hit, this week: 45 percent of the crop is rated good to excellent from 49 percent a week ago.

USDA’s large yields surprises trade

Wheat The wheat market took a big hit with the release of the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report Aug. 10. U.S. production estimates came in at 1.739 billion bushels (47.33 million metric tons) versus 1.713 billion bushels as the average trade guess. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s July number was 1.760 billion bushels. Spring wheat production is estimated at 402 million bushels versus 393 million bushels for the pre-report average trade guess. This compares to USDA’s July number of 423 million bushels. Durum came in at 50.5 million versus the average guess at 56 million. With these production numbers, U.S. ending stocks for all wheat are expected to be 1.184 billion bushels for 2016-17 and 933 million bushels for 2017-18.

The real dagger was a mammoth increase in Russian wheat crop estimates up 8.6 million metric tons to 77.5 million metric tons. The former Soviet Union (FSU-12) including Russia and Ukraine are expected to have record wheat production. The FSU-12 increased to 133.7 million metric tons from 125.1 million metric tons in the July report. The net effect was an increase of world ending stocks for 2017-18 at 264.69 million metric tons. This was much higher than the average trade guess of 256.7 million metric tons. Australia numbers remained unchanged at 23.5 million metric tons despite the ongoing drought.

This summer all attention was focused on the spring wheat problem in the northern U.S. and Canada. It’s easy to focus on the bad yield reports locally and lose sight of what’s going on in the world. It’s even easier to get lost in bushel numbers versus metric tons. We had reports that the Russian wheat crop could be on the high side, but in all my years as an analyst, I have never seen such a large month-to-month increase in wheat production.

While we were all focused on whether the spring wheat number was going to be plus or minus 10 million bushels from the 393 million bushel estimate for the entire U.S. spring wheat crop, the USDA in one month added nearly the equivalent of the entire U.S. spring wheat crop to FSU-12 estimates. Think about that for a minute and let it sink in — 390 million bushels is 10.6 million metric tons. In one month, USDA added 8.6 million metric tons to the FSU-12 estimate, which is 316 million bushels.

For the week ending Aug. 10, September contracts for Minneapolis wheat were down 13 cents at $7.0325, down 14.25 cents at $4.405 for Chicago wheat, and down 11.25 cents at $4.4825 for Kansas City wheat.



Corn USDA yield numbers started a selloff on Aug. 10 after the USDA estimated a higher than expected yield. The USDA only lowered corn yields 1.2 bushels per acre compared to average analyst guesses of a 4.5 bushel per acre reduction. The trade reacted negatively to this thin reduction and large losses in the soybean complex also fueled selling in corn futures.

The USDA did not do producers any favors in their August report. I have a feeling that the data analysts at the USDA will have a lot of explaining to do if the yields turn out to be much lower than these estimates. I know the majority of producers won’t believe many of the USDA’s numbers, but weather needs to turn negative in order for the USDA to change their tune.

The USDA seems to be being cautious (which is normal this time of year) with any yield reductions as recent cooler weather and a cooler outlook for August is helping limit the damage done by the less than normal rainfalls. New hybrids and genetics may also be limiting yield losses due to the weather extremes we have seen this year.

It remains to be seen how August shapes up and if we will see some weather adversity before harvest to give this market some relief from these low prices. Even though there is still a decent looking crop in much of the Midwest, there is some worry that some corn plants are slow to mature and has been lacking heat units. Most of the U.S. saw a cool, wet spring which put this crop behind from the get-go.

So because of a slow start, the northern half of the U.S. still has two months of time for an early frost to hit some of this late planted corn fields.

Tip back and ear weights are also something that will need to be watched in the future, especially in the western Midwest. But for now, these potential issues are not widespread, so if weather continues to shape up for much of the Midwest, these issues won’t be prevalent.

Even though U.S. corn is only rated at 60 percent good to excellent versus 61 percent last week and 74 percent last year, the USDA is still expecting this year’s corn crop to be the third largest on record.

This year’s corn crop is also rated 13 percent poor to very poor versus 13 percent last week and 7 percent

last year. The pro crop tour at the end of August may give the trade a better idea of what is out there.

For the week ending Aug. 10, September corn was down 11.75 cents and December corn was down 11.5 cents. We closed just below recent support of $3.74 December and if pressure continues, December corn could be aiming for the contract lows of $3.585.

Soybeans USDA shocked everybody in the Aug. 10 report by increasing U.S. soybean yield to 49.4 bushels per acre, up from 48 bushels in July. This puts U.S. soybean production at 4.381 billion bushels and would be a 2 percent increase over 2016’s record crop. The average trade guess was 4.212 and USDA’s July estimate was 4.260 billion bushels.

U.S. soybean ending stocks are now estimated to increase to 475 million bushels for 2017-18 up from the July estimate of 460 million bushels.

On the world stage, ending stocks for 2017-18 are increased to 264.69 million metric tons, up from 260.6 million metric tons in the July report. Average farmgate prices are estimated to be at $9.30 per bushel.

Outstanding sales decreased to 198.3 million bushels, 2 percent less than the previous year.

For the week ending Aug. 10, August soybeans were down 18.5 cents to $9.3075. November 2017 soybeans were down 16.5 to $9.4025.

Canola For the week ending Aug. 10, November canola futures in Winnipeg were up $5.90 Canadian at $506.20 Canadian per metric ton. The Canadian dollar traded down to .7850. This brings the U.S. price to $18.03 per hundredweight. ► Velva, N.D., $17.49 per hundredweight, new crop $17.13. ► Enderlin, N.D., $18.02 per hundredweight, new crop $17.91. ► Hallock, Minn., $17.52 per hundredweight, new crop $17.34. ► Fargo, N.D., $18.40 per hundredweight, new crop $17.90.

Barley Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2.10, while malting barley received no quote.

Berthold, N.D., bid is $2, and CHS Southwest New Salem bids were at $2.50

Durum Cash bids for milling quality durum are $8 in Berthold and at $8.50 in Dickinson, N.D.

Sunflower Cash sunflower bids in Fargo were at $17.60., and October-November was at $16.60.

For the week ending Aug. 10, soybean oil was up 16 cents at $33.74 on the August contract.
