OPINION

Dicamba threatens farmers and their crops

By Annalise Dobbelstein As a Minnesotan, I am very concerned about the weed killer dicamba, as it threatens many Minnesota farmers and their crops. A farmer can spray dicamba directly on dicamba-ready crops, and those crops will survive.

The thing is, many farmers in the Midwest do not use dicamba-ready crops. So the herbicide, when sprayed, is drifting onto neighboring fields, damaging and killing non-dicambaready crops.

So far, there have been 200 reports of damage reported to the Minnesota

The herbicide, when sprayed, is drifting onto neighboring fields, damaging and killing nondicamba-ready crops.

Department of Agriculture from over 50 counties — and the state is unsure how much more damage there could be. In Missouri, farmers are reporting $1.5 million in losses from sales due to dicamba drift. There have been over 300,000 acres of soybean crops damaged by the spraying of dicamba.

Dicamba is particularly bad because it travels far compared to other pesticides. With little to no control of where the pesticide goes, it can have lasting effects on our crops. Public health is also at risk. With the chemicals spreading onto neighboring farms, we have no assurance that the pesticide is not also spreading to homes, schools and playgrounds as well.

The state should ban the use of dicamba altogether. Arkansas has already decided to ban it — to protect ourselves and our farmers, we should ban it, too.

Time for lawmakers to do their jobs

By Ellen Linderman I farm at Carrington. The rising cost of health care and health insurance premiums are taking a toll in the countryside. Growing health care costs are adding an additional layer of stress and debt for farm families struggling to make ends meet in a farm economy that is already in crisis.

This year’s debt-to-asset ratio is the highest the agriculture industry has seen in 30 years. Spouses taking off-farm jobs to provide health insurance for their families no longer covers the cost. And yet the current bill that’s making its way through congress, the Graham-Cassidy bill, would mean $211 million less for health care in North Dakota because it would block grant health care spending to the states. That would be devastating not only for our farmers and ranchers, but also

And yet the current bill that’s making its way through congress, the Graham-Cassidy bill, would mean $211 million less for health care in North Dakota because it would block grant health care spending to the states. for our rural communities and health care facilities.

Lawmakers in D.C. need to stop the health care games and do their job.

They can start by preventing insurers from cherry picking the most profitable marketplaces, which leaves many of us in rural areas with little or no choice of insurer options. Americans need affordable, accessible and quality health care — and we need it now.

Sustainable ND: SARE fellows visit the state

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Stacey Jones and Michael O’Donnell believe strongly in sustainable agriculture and are committed to learning more about it. Their first visit to North Dakota helped them do that.

“This is a great opportunity. There’s a lot to see and learn,” Jones said.

Jones is area specialist agent for greenhouse and nursery crops with the North Carolina State Extension.

O’Donnell is extension educator for organic and diversified agriculture with the Purdue Extension in Indiana.

They were among the eight extension officials who visited North Dakota during the week of Sept. 25 in a fellowship program offered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Sustainable Agriculture and Research Education, or SARE. SARE, split into four regions, is a competitive grants and outreach program. In the fellowship program, two extension officials from each region

visit different states to learn more about sustainable agriculture there.

North Dakota is a leader in sustainable ag, though state residents may not always realize it, said Karl Hopped, area extension specialist/ livestock with the Carrington (N.D.) Research Extension Center. He led the fellowship group touring the state.

“We have so much diversity in sustainable ag. Those of us who live and work here sometimes just take that granted,” Hoppe said.

One drawback, however: North Dakota’s small population works against organic farmers developing sizeable in-state markets, he noted.

Sustainable ag — of which organic is only a part — is defined in different ways by different people and organizations. Hoppe said SARE, for its part, sees three components in sustainable ag: environment, profitability and society.

“All three are necessary for sustainability,” he said.

Jones, O’Donnell and Hoppe visited with Agweek on the morning of Sept.

26 in Grand Forks. The SARE fellows made several other stops in northeast North Dakota later on the cool, rainy day. The group was scheduled to visit central and western North Dakota on Sept. 27-28, meeting farmers, ranchers, extension researchers and Native Americans.

Corn and soybeans are common in Iowa and part of the Corn Belt, and some agriculturalists associate the state with conventional farming. But sustainable ag is winning more attention in Iowa, O’Donnell said.

His advice for conventional farmers interested in sustainable ag: start small; connect into a network of people with experience in sustainable ag; and experiment initially “on your best ground, not your worst.”

Similarities Jones assists primarily large commercial growers in 28 North Carolina counties. The greenhouses she works with raise ornamental plants sold at garden centers and home improvement stores. The nurseries with which she’s involved grow trees and shrubs.

When Jones first became a SARE fellow, she wasn’t sure if what she learned in North Dakota and elsewhere would transfer back to North Carolina growers.

“But there have been quite a few times when I was visiting my growers — and while it wasn’t the exact situation, it was a similar situation — I was able to go back to something I learned in SARE,” she said. “It’s really amazing that, if even if you’re growing ornamental plants, something to do with livestock can be pretty applicable.”

Asked for an example, she said, “Water would be the largest issue.

Whether it’s runoff from a dairy or runoff from a nursery, there’s a lot of similarities with water and erosion.”

Both she and O’Donnell encouraged other extension officials to learn more about SARE and the fellowship.

The organization’s web site is www.sare.org.

“People think ranching is so idyllic, like all we do is ride horses to check cows all day.

They don’t see this part. Maybe if they did, they’d appreciate their next meal a little more.”

“This part” for Shelly Ziesch was the work she and her husband, Robin, were doing the day I visited them, tuning up the corn chopper and truck for silage season. She chuckled a little as she said it. And I chuckled as I nodded in agreement.

It’s less than “idyllic” for my husband to work 12- or 14-hour days, six days a week. (He takes it easy on Sunday and only feeds cows. In the winter, that still can mean eight hours or more, depending on snow and the general cooperation of equipment.) I wouldn’t call it “idyllic” to be up calving all night in frigid January and February temperatures, as my Dad and many, many other seedstock producers in this region do.

People off the ranch rarely know about those days. Which, really, are most days.

Grain storage and marketing a challenge for Nebraska farmers

By Michelle Rook Special to Agweek GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — With a large amount of old crop corn still in storage and another big crop coming on in Nebraska, grain storage will be a real challenge for farmers this fall.

While farmers do not expect they’ll top last year’s state corn or soybean production figures, it will still be a big harvest in Nebraska.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a record crop, but it’s going to be a good crop,” says Greg Greving, who farms near Chapman, Neb. Add to that the fact that many farmers have been storing their 2016 crop.

The problem is it creates a bottleneck in grain logistics and marketing with farmers essentially trying to market two crops at nearly the same time.

“People didn’t like the prices and they didn’t sell, so we’re going have two crops to look at,” says Bertrand farmer Dennis Gergenbach. “It’s going to be a challenge.”

Paul Hay, an extension educator at the University of Nebraska, says they are trying to get a handle on the amount of corn that’s already in storage going into harvest to help producers with their marketing.

“I think it’s real problematic if we’ve have a lot of storage already occupied and then we have a lot of corn that’s got to find a home,” he says.

Recently large supplies of old crop grain have been moving to market.

“I know a lot of producers across this state have carried over a lot of grain,” says Oakland, Neb., farmer Tony Johanson “The last month, month and a half I’ve never seen so many semis on the road hauling corn and soybeans to the elevators.”

Dave Dannehl, chairman-elect for the Nebraska Bankers Association, sees the trend among his clients.

“There has been a quite a bit of old crop coming to town that unfortunately they sat on a little longer than they cared for,” he says. “But we’re 30 days away from harvest, so many producers are looking at their storage needs. They finally decided it was time to get it sold and moved.”

Other farmers have been selling because they need to exercise on deferred pricing or basis-fixed contracts before expiration, or they just need the money.

“I think a lot of it is cash-flow needs,” Johanson says. “A lot of producers do a cash-rent agreement where they split the payments. You saw a lot of selling activity when the cash rents are due in September.”

However, even with those grain sales, farmers and elevators will have a tough time finding space for the crop this fall and will have to pile the harvest on the ground.

“There’s a lot of elevators that I’ve heard are not even completely empty from last year,” Greving says. “If you take an elevator that still has a 100,000 bushels carryover from last year, that might be another 100,000 on the ground.”

Johanson agrees that storage space will be extra tight this fall.

“As I look at on-farm storage, there might be enough, but when you start to get to these local elevators, I think we’re going to run short on storage — just from the carryover from the previous year and the lack of selling.”

A few farmers are putting up more bins yet this fall, but more will use temporary storage and wait for better prices. Dannehl says that is the strategy for many of his customers at the bank.

“Yes, storing and waiting for the rally — certainly, in our area we’ve seen a large increase on the bag storage,” he says.

Ansley, Neb., farmer Guy Mills confirms this trend and says many farmers will put that stored corn under loan.

“We are thankful we do have a government program where you can even seal the corn you know,” he says.

However, last year many growers stored the harvest and waited for higher prices with no reward. So, this season if farmers are going to store the 2017 crop they’re encouraged to put a more aggressive marketing plan in place.

“You really have to be on your toes and market it right, get your basis appreciation and then, of course, get your carry in the market,” Mills says.

Dannehl cautions farmers that the rallies in the market have been very short-lived.

“Producers have to have good solid marketing plans and be ready to pull the trigger in a short amount of time because they may not have a lot of time to make that decision,” he says.

North Central Farmers Elevator, Wheat Growers to merge

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer ABERDEEN, S.D. — The member-owners of North Central Farmers Elevator of Ipswich, S.D., and South Dakota Wheat Growers of Aberdeen, S.D., on Sept. 28 finished a vote to approve the unification of the two cooperatives.

The North Central Farmers Elevator members voted for the proposed unification 911-657, or 58 percent, and “Wheat Growers” members voted for the proposed unification,1598-954, with a 63 percent majority, according to a joint news release.

With this vote, the new cooperative is expected to begin operations effective Feb. 1, 2018. Until then, the cooperatives will operate independently. The co-ops now will focus on integration, including identifying a new corporate name.

Relevance “We listened to our members and it was based on their comments that we brought this to a vote of the membership,” said Rick Osterday, North Central Farmers Elevator Board President.

“We’re pleased that they concluded that the unification of both cooperatives can bring additional value to members and ensure the long-term relevance and viability of a unified cooperative. We want to thank them for their support and participation in this important part of cooperative governance.”

“This is a merger of two financially strong, legacy-rich cooperatives,” said Wheat Growers Board President Hal Clemensen. “Our mission now is to seize this opportunity to build a new, even stronger cooperative better able to serve our member-owners. As we go forward, we will create new efficiencies, take advantage of new technologies and continue to build a strong

employee team — all in order to create more value for our members.”

The member voting period began Aug. 29 and followed a series of member information meetings since Aug. 21. Members cast their ballots through Sept. 28, for separate final meetings and forums. All ballots submitted were verified by Eide Bailly, the third-party audit firm administering the vote.

Tout savings The co-ops had said the two entities could save $12.7 million annually over the coming four years, for a savings of $50.8 million over four years.

Greg Smith, a spokesman for Wheat Growers, told Agweek that potential savings had increased from the fouryear estimate of $44 million that was made two years ago, when a merger was proposed. The annual savings for different units was $4.6 million for agronomy, $3.7 million for grain, $2.9 million for operations, $800,000

for energy and $700,000 for administration.

Smith said some critics of the move had indicated they didn’t think bigger was necessarily bette, and that they wanted the competition between the two cooperatives. But Smith said the proponents argued that larger entities offer efficiencies and advantages in ordering transportation. He added that the real competition is between the co-op and larger entities like ADM or Cargill that operate internationally.

North Central Farmers Elevator is a full-service, farmer-owned cooperative, established in 1915 and headquartered in Ipswich, with 22 locations serving more than 2,400 member-owners in north central South Dakota and south central North Dakota.

South Dakota Wheat Growers is an innovative grain and agronomy cooperative established in 1923 and today serving more than 5,100 active member-owners in eastern North Dakota and South Dakota.

Farm bill urgency: Agriculture’s silver lining

By Evan Hendershot Forum News Service There’s a bright side to the bad weather that scorched the fields of farmers this season.

Despite an improved outlook backed by a break from the early summer sun, corn production is forecasted to drop in South Dakota this year. But U.S. Sen. John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, sees a ray of hope amid an arduous season in agriculture.

“I think the economic times we’re in, in agriculture, will create more of a sense of urgency out there that we need to have some creative thinking and we need to have a budget to provide a safety net for our providers,” Thune told The Mitchell Daily Republic last week.

But the three-time farm bill veteran, who’s now working on his fourth as a member of Congress, said there’s always an underlying challenge in moving the massive legislation forward.

“It’s always hard to pass a farm bill, particularly when you’ve got members of Congress who don’t have ag constituency or farm programs,” Thune said.

While drought conditions and the subsequent difficulties farmers and ranchers have been forced to overcome this year could expedite farm bill talks, Thune has already made several efforts

to keep the farm bill in the limelight.

From March to August, Thune’s office unveiled five pieces of legislation meant to build off the most recent farm bill, formally known as the Agricultural Act of 2014. The measures have been wide-ranging, touching on five different titles of the 13-title farm bill.

Among them is a measure to raise the Conservation Reserve Program cap nationwide to 30 million acres, up from 24 million acres. When he released the plan in April, Thune said South Dakota was expected to lose 57 percent of its existing CRP acres throughout the 2018 farm bill, but his bill would provide a big boost to the acreage cap.

If accepted as part of the farm bill, South Dakota’s target for CRP acreage would be 1.4 million, 10,000 acres higher than the current 10-year average. And Thune said the bill could help avoid situations where one state is getting more CRP acreage approved than others.

“When we’ve had farmers who have tried to get land in, they’ve been turned down, and all the land that’s been going in have been going in Colorado and places like that,” Thune said.

“Makes no sense.”

Other bills would help streamline the U.S. Forest Service’s ability to rapidly salvage dead and dying trees after

severe weather events, simplify the crop insurance program in relation to multi-county farms, update the Livestock Forage Program and Livestock Indemnity Program and establish a new CRP-like program with a shorter time commitment for conservation.

With five bills already introduced and coming off a rough season for farmers and ranchers, Thune suggested the next iteration of the farm bill may move along more swiftly than it has previously.

“Most of the farm bills that we’ve written in my time in office have been in a time of good commodity prices, so this is one of the rare times when we’ve got — when we’re kind of in the tank,” Thune said. “So we’re hoping that that will at least provide an additional push to get this thing done and maybe allow us to get some new ideas into it.”

Crop insurance is king Like Thune, South Dakota’s corn growers are also well aware of next year’s farm bill talks, and the top priority is crystal clear.

Troy Knecht, a Houghton area farmer who serves as president of the South Dakota Corn Growers Association, said he wants to see the funding for crop insurance maintain its current rate.

“Whatever we can do to maintain that just as it is,” Knecht said. “We

gave up some last time, some crop insurance funding, and we’d like to see that remain the same.’

And South Dakota Corn Utilization Council Executive Director Lisa Richardson agreed that crop insurance is the critical piece to the farm bill puzzle, particularly because corn is susceptible to adverse weather.

“Most of our land in this state is covered under crop insurance, and that’s how farmers get financed,” Richardson said. “And with the uncertainty of Mother Nature, that’s our critical need.”

Beyond crop insurance, Knecht said other issues should be on the front burner.

Farm bill issues trade and CRP are also critical, Knecht said, and the Soil Health and Income Protection Program (SHIPP) proposed by Thune is of interest to corn growers. The SHIPP program would require a three- to five-year commitment for conservation while CRP requires a commitment of 10 to 15 years.

“That’s kind of what the SHIPP program is, it’s a shorter term program that allows you to do some haying out there and things like that, and I think that’s the kind of conservation programs we like to see going forward,” Knecht said.

LAW ON THE FARM

What will the 2018 farm bill bring?

Every five years or so, our federal senators and representatives take up the topic of a farm bill. Next year is already 2018, so it’s time for the farm bill to be a topic of debate.

PETER These are changing WELTE — some would say Law on the turbulent — times in Farm agriculture. The markets are a little uncertain, agriculture has truly become a global market and the news out of Washington, D.C. isn’t getting any less interesting.

In this column, I will attempt to present a good old-fashioned factbased treatment of this topic. As both a farmer and a lawyer, I enjoy a “just the facts, ma’am” approach to complicated topics. And this is definitely a complicated topic.

The first question to address: What’s the cost of the present (2014)



farm bill? According to the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, over five years the projected cost of the present farm bill is $489 billion. That’s somewhere around $100 billion annually.

Nearly 80 percent of the projected spending for the present farm bill is for nutrition programs. That leaves roughly $6 billion per year for conservation programs, $8 billion annually for crop insurance, $5 billion annually for commodity programs and $1 billion annually for other programs.

The allocation for nutrition programs is not without controversy. In fact, during the last farm bill there was an amendment proposed that permitted states to require food stamp beneficiaries to either be employed or actively seeking employment.

According to a news article by Cansler Consulting, once the amendment was added to the actual bill, the House rejected the bill on a 234195 vote. House Republicans then began to advocate splitting the bill into two parts, so the nutrition pro-

grams could be considered separately.

Again according to the news article by Cansler Consulting, “[t]he lawmakers principally behind this strategy were defeated in their re-election campaigns are no longer in Congress.”

How long has the farm bill been around? Since the 1930s the federal government has had a large role in regulation of farming, which coincides with the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl days. In fact, on a different note the Senate and House agriculture committees are amongst the oldest in those institutions, going all the way back to the early 1800s.

Although the first farm bills dealt more with direct aid to farmers than the present farm bills, the present farm bill encompasses titles relating to commodity programs, conservation, trade, nutrition, farm credit, rural development, research and extension, forestry, energy, horticulture and crop insurance.

The crafting of the farm bill is going to be politically charged. On one side of the spectrum are the groups that

believe the farmers need an effective “safety net.” This side exists in both parties, actually. In a very general sense, the more liberal faction of this side tends to believe in more direct payments to producers, whereas the more conservative faction of this side tends to believe in a crop insurance-oriented approach, requiring farmers to have “skin in the game” if they are going to receive benefits in a poor crop year.

However, there is some momentum with a completely different faction: the group that believes the federal farm program needs to be slashed drastically or even eliminated. Five years ago when farmers were having a series of great years, this group had momentum. So did the group that believes in separating the nutrition programs — and 80 percent of the cost of the farm bill — altogether.

Watch for more agriculture and policy news as the calendar turns to 2018.

It’s around the corner!

REGIONAL NEWS White Earth Reservation receives state grant to fight ‘food desert’ problem with food truck munity revenue-wise just not nutrition-wise.

Food grown in White Earth is being exported largely because there just aren’t enough places to distribute it in White Earth. The reservation, which has roughly 1,000 square-miles of land, has just a few gas stations (where fruit and vegetable options are limited) and a farmer’s market.

To actually get a variety of fruits and vegetables, people living on the White Earth Reservation have to travel to either Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids or Mahnomen — a trek that is about 30 miles one way, sometimes more.

“It’s a deterrent for people to spend money on gas,” said Paige. “And maybe, if they’re driving all that way, they’re buying more bulk items, more non-perishables. If they’re going to town once every two weeks, they’re not going to buy bananas because they’ll just go bad.”

So, since the people can’t get to the food, Paige and the rest of the people working with the White Earth Food Sovereignty Initiative decided to bring the food to the people.

Paige applied for the first-ever Good

Food Access Program Grant through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, which received $150,000 in funds from the state of Minnesota to distribute to areas in need of food as they see fit. They saw fit to give $39,800 to White Earth for its mobile food truck, as well as a few vegetable display coolers that will be placed in White Earth convenience stores.

“I have this image,” said Paige, thinking of the big piece of the project, the truck, “of kids using the truck to cook with native foods.”

Naytahwaush, Minn., youth shuck locally-grown sweet corn for the Harvest Pow Wow.

He’s hoping elders will see young people cooking their native foods, making indigenous dishes, and they will be proud and, hopefully, inspired to cook the dishes themselves.

The truck will be used to both cook and sell meals, as well as to sell the locally-grown produce. He says he’s hoping to pair up with the community college extension and to train students in cooking with the native crops and foods.

“Part of it is demystifying the ability to cook,” said Paige, adding that he’s hoping to be able to supply people with not only food but recipes to cook the food.

They’re still working on partnering with different farmers, stores and other organizations, and the truck won’t be operational until next year. When it is, it will be traveling around, parking at powwows, possibly the farmer’s market, as well as the few gas stations White Earth does have.

“We’ll be kind of going wherever we can...and putting the truck strategically in those places where people are already buying junk food,” said Paige.

By Kaysey Price Forum News Service WHITE EARTH, Minn. — According to the latest statistics, 90 percent of White Earth Nation in northern Minnesota is considered a federally-recognized “food desert.” Access to good, nutritious food is incredibly scarce, but junk-food options are readily available in the few convenience stores the reservation has. It’s an issue the tribe has been fighting for many years. Now, they may have a solution: the White Earth Mobile Market Food Truck.

“White Earth is a rural community and, the funny thing is, people do grow food,” said Zachary Paige, Food Sovereignty Coordinator with White Earth Natural Resources Department.

Paige listed off the many foods that are currently being grown and gathered locally (wild rice, honey, maple syrup, corn, beans, squash, potatoes, carrots, berries and venison), but stated that there is a disconnect between the local growers and gatherers and the consumers.

For one, much of the locally-grown food is currently being exported, which Paige said is still good for the com-

Beef the world’s table U.S. export brand is strong

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer FARGO, N.D. — World consumers of American beef are not always the same as the U.S. consumer, and that’s a good thing, said Paul Clayton, senior vice president of export services with the U.S. Meat Export Federation.

Clayton, based in Denver, spoke at the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association annual meeting and trade show in Fargo and offered an optimistic view of the future for red-meat exports.

The MEF is a non-profit organization that develops world market red meat — beef, pork, and lamb. It is funded with checkoff dollars with 18 offices throughout the world.

Clayton acknowledged beef exporters were disappointed with the Trump administration’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement but are hopeful they’ll follow up with “suitable” agreements with individual countries.

Similarly, Clayton said he hoped changes in the North American Free Trade Agreement will help and not hurt meat trade with Canada and Mexico.

“Let’s hope there’s some kind of upside,” he said, adding, “We had a pretty good deal, with no tariffs or duties” under the original NAFTA.

Big changes World meat markets are changing. Today companies are setting food standards beyond country standards, Clayton said. Walmart, for example, is in 27 countries and sets its own rules for food safety and animal welfare.

Sustainability standards may follow.

Consumers are shifting back toward seeing some fats as good.

Feedlot-fed beef is an unusual product for many consumers throughout the world. U.S. grass-fed beef isn’t usually available for exports, because there is a higher-priced domestic market, and it competes with foreign beef, which is often grass-fed.

Asian middle classes will continue to grow, increasing demand for beef.

In Korea, 95 percent of the consumers use computers, and social media is growing.

In India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, the cow is sacred, but they “do consume water buffalo.” Water buffalo females are kept to first produce milk before they are consumed. Bull calves often don’t survive.

“Some claim that India is the largest beef producer,” Clayton said, although data isn’t reliable.

The U.S. would have to export frozen meat to those countries and likely would export the “variety meats,” such as liver and tongue, that American consumers aren’t so fond of consuming. The value of those cuts in export markets is about $1 per pound, while U.S. consumers would pay only 15-30 cents per pound for the cuts, which also would possibly be used for pet food.

The homefront American beef consumption trends are ticking up in 2017 but are likely to flatten out next year. Clayton expects a 12-percent increase in U.S. consumption by 2025.

Very little U.S. ground beef is exported. With 320 million people in the U.S., about 100 million servings of ground beef are consumed daily.

Purchasing on the web is continuing to grow, as is the practice of food makers and grocery providers delivering to the home in the metropolitan areas.

“We have consumers that are busy,” and want to do things other than shopping, Clayton explained.

He noted that Amazon purchased Whole Foods and is creating lockers for consumers who want to pick up pre-assembled orders. International fast food markets are offering consumers the ability to order in advance.

The trend is worldwide, he said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service has 86 different certification programs in beef, some for breeding programs such as as certified Angus or Hereford, verifying genetic percentages. This can be helpful in some export markets.

Disease threats — either in the U.S. or foreign countries — are the biggest threats to U.S. meat exports, despite the fact that U.S. standards are “robust.” Technology such as GMOs, gene editing and food safety preventative chemicals are challenges.

Clayton said the U.S. lost some market share after the mad-cow-disease crash in 2003, referring to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or BSE. “We’ve pretty well recouped the volume we had prior to BSE,” Clayton said.

Mexico re-entered quickly, but Japan and Korea have been added between 2006 and 2008, and the U.S. is working to get animals over 30 months of age accepted. The Chinese market reopened earlier in 2017 and shows promise, he said.

COVER: Rancher Byron Richards stands at the top of a butte on his Beach, N.D. property.

The Beaver Creek lazily flows through Byron Richards’ Beach, N.D., cattle ranch.

Allies, not enemies Big ND ranch works with outdoor groups •

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

B

EACH, N.D. — Some farmers and ranchers view hunters, other outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife groups as enemies. Not Byron Richard. The Beach, N.D., rancher considers them potential allies.

“We have a lot in common. When we can find ways to work together, we all win,” he says of cooperation between agricultural landowners and outdoor/ wildlife groups.

Richard has put the sentiment into practice on his sprawling Richard Angus Ranch north of Beach. He and his wife, Kathy, bought the roughly 22,000-acre Beaver Creek Ranch in 2015, hoping to make it both a working ranch and a wildlife legacy that future generations could enjoy.

The Beaver Creek, surrounded by buttes, bluffs and open range, winds

through the bottom of the ranch, which is home to mule deer, whitetail deer, elk, birds, beaver and prairie dogs. The working ranch also has 800 cattle.

“What we’re really trying to do here is having the economics of the ranching operation, and also the benefit of the wildlife — and to share it with the public,” Byron Richard said.

After buying it, the Richards enrolled their renamed Richard Angus Ranch in Private Lands Open to Sportsmen, or PLOTS. In the longstanding program, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department works with private landowners to enhance habitat development and hunting access. More information is available here: https:// gf.nd.gov/plots/guide.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for sportsmen. It’s drawn a lot of praise from everyone I’ve talked with who’s hunted out there,” Nate Harling, private lands field operations coordina-

tor for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department said of the Richard ranch project. “Just about every kind of wildlife found in North Dakota is on this ranch, and hunters have really made good use of it.”

Hunting and wildlife groups often lament what they see as inadequate public access to privately owned farmland. So some of the groups have made concerted efforts to work with ag landowners across Agweek country.

The Beaver Creek project is an unusually big example. Also involved in it are the Mule Deer Foundation, Pheasants Forever, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation and National Wild Turkey Foundation.

“This is only possible because of the partner contributions,” Harling said.

Richard signed a 10-year deal in which he received PLOTS payments and other wildlife contributions totaling $664,000, as well as volunteer labor

on the ranch from outdoor enthusiasts.

In return, hunters and other fans of the outdoors have access to the land.

Richard is a longtime Belfield, N.D., farmer and rancher. But his children, a son and daughter, have a passion for cattle. So, with the next generation in mind, Byron and Kathy decided to focus primarily on cattle and bought the Beaver Creek Ranch.

But cattle didn’t come with the ranch. To buy cattle and to finance necessary improvements to the ranch would require additional funding, Byron Richard knew.

“This (the partnership with wildlife groups) was the opportunity to get that,” he said.

Marshall Johnson, North Dakota and South Dakota director for the Mule Deer Foundation, said his organization was excited to get involved.

COVER STORY ALLIES “It was a home-run pitch from Byron,” Johnson said of the project, the largest his organization has been involved with.

The opportunity to enhance elk habitat and create more public access was too good to pass up, said Shawn Kelley, regional director of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. It’s the largest such project in which his organization has been involved in North Dakota.

Both organizations are interested in working with other ag landowners in areas where mule deer and elk are established, Johnson and Kelley said.

Payments from wildlife groups can supplement what farmers and ranchers earn from their crops and livestock, Kelley said.

The additional income can be especially important for ag landowners looking to upgrade or improve their property, Richard said.

Most other Midwest states offer similar projects in which state wildlife/fishing/outdoor agencies work with landowners to enhance public hunting access on private land, Harling said.

Agweek’s visit. Animals, other than the cows, were deep in ravines, sheltered by trees and brush from the unseasonably warm sun.

As he drove, Richard pointed to improvements, many of them accomplished with volunteer labor. The long list includes cleaning up the property, tearing out old fence and and putting in new fence and water systems.

New wells and pipelines are particularly important. In the past, before the Richards bought the ranch, cattle often overgrazed land along the creek, where they had quick, easy access to water. Pasture further from the creek had poor access to water, discouraging cattle from grazing there.

Now, cattle can drink piped-in water at tanks throughout the ranch.

That helps to restore the once-overgrazed areas and make better use of what had been undergrazed areas.

“All these improvements — we just couldn’t have done it ourselves,” Richard said.

Volunteers, many of them from urban areas, relish the chance to get out in the country and work on the ranch, Johnson and Kelley said.

They also say, and Richard agrees, that the volunteers gain better understanding of the challenges faced by ranchers.

A common concern among ag landowners is that their property might be damaged if they allow hunters or other outdoor enthusiasts on it.

Richard said problems on his property have been minimal.

been an issue. Most of them have been great to work with,” he said.

Johnson and Kelley say their organizations continually educate their members about the importance of treating land respectfully. They also point to self-policing among hunters, the vast majority of whom are responsible, to prevent damage to landowners’ property.

People with guns, but not licenses, sometimes are responsible for much of the damage to ag property, and legitimate hunters shouldn’t be blamed when that happens, Harling said.

“Illegal activity might not be done by a hunter. Just because they have a

gun doesn’t mean they’re a hunter,” he said. “Gun ownership goes behind hunters.”

The 10-year agreement is off to strong start, and Byron Richard is confident that will continue. He’s optimistic his children will decide to renew it after it expires, he said.

In the meantime, “I really encourage people in agriculture to consider these kind of partnerships as a way to bring more income into their operation,” Richard said. “It can be a win for farmers and ranchers, and it can be a win for people who enjoy wildlife and the outdoors.”

THE PINKE POST

Don’t be afraid to get outside your echo chamber How does a woman from rural North Dakota find herself at the Dole Institute of Politics in Lawrence, Kan., for a discussion group series?

As I walked into the standout facility, a KATIE tinge of self-doubt PINKE entered my mind.

Thankfully, a wave of confidence followed and I was eager to share a rural voice in the conversation.

This past summer, I was asked to participate in a fall series entitled “The Elusive Quest for the Lacrosse Mom: How Do Politicians, Corporations, Organizations and the Community Engage Women?” The series is led by Dole fellow Cherylyn Harley LeBon. I met her when we sat at the same table several years ago at Blogher, the largest women’s blogging conference in the world.

Cherylyn hails from upstate New York and lives in the Washington



D.C., area. Our lives couldn’t be more different on paper; however, at the core, our values are parallel. I hadn’t seen Cherylyn since the Blogher event, but we’ve remained connected thanks to social media. When she asked me to participate in the series and I saw the credentials of the other speakers I thought, “Why me? How do I fit in?”

My voice needs to be heard: Agriculture. Rural. Small business owner.

Mom. Volunteer. Woman of faith. It’s who I am.

Cherylyn interviewed me about my role at Agweek and in the agriculture news business; my role on the Wishek City Council and why I ran for an elected office in my small town; how I juggle work and family life; and my past as a single mom while earning a college degree.

The experience and dialogue reminded me to not doubt my role or voice. Everyone has a story. Your story needs to be heard, too.

As much as our voices need to be heard, we also need to listen. In

order to listen, we need to leave our usual bubble of people — our echo chamber. Oftentimes, we find ourselves interacting with people both online and offline who have similar interests and values.

This is America, and I don’t want all of us to think or sound alike. It’s our freedom to celebrate. I want to learn from those who are like me and different than me. Our experiences, education, whereabouts, peers, religions and families influence who we are.

When I set out for Kansas, I assumed the experience wouldn’t be much different than my life in North Dakota and my social and professional circle. For the most part that wasn’t the case. For example, at dinner, I sat next to a highly educated woman with decades of teaching and leadership experience.

Before meeting me, she had never met anyone who worked in the agriculture industry. We discussed issues in agriculture, news media, rural life and how I work remotely.

After dinner, I sat and listened to the Dole Institute’s and the University of Kansas School of Law’s “Religious Rights or Unlawful Discrimination?” program, hosted in celebration of Constitution Day. The program brought together bipartisan politics to give an in-depth look at a tough issues our country and Supreme Court are facing. Before the program started, the audience read the Preamble of the United States Constitution, adopted on Sept. 17, 1787.

My trip to Kansas was a good reminder I can remain rooted in who I am, share my passions and voice and listen to others. I left my bubble and returned home a stronger person. I now have a deep desire to bring more bipartisan, issues-based programming to my home area to engage similar and diverse voices.

Article Notes: This monthly column takes some crazy sounding ideas and applies them to the field of Ag Tech.

The purpose of this is purely entertainment, but hey, if we can spread ideas or ignite RYAN RAGUSE imaginations, how Myriad Mobile awesome is that?

Equifax was hacked about two months ago, spewing out hundreds of millions of individual records with highly personal information — including data on me.

Likely all this data is headed for the black market to be dispersed. Criminals will then purchase small chunks of this data in order to stay off the radar.

Equifax’s outdated, on-premise infrastructure was prone to vulnerabilities. This was what caused them to get hacked in such a massive way, in addition to a two-month installing delay of a new security system.

Equifax didn’t have a modern cloud infrastructure that even small farm management system companies today are deploying.

What is interesting about Equifax’s data is that even though it is data on you, it’s not your data; it’s data someone else collected about you and is now selling for a profit.

Equifax actually started in the late 1800s. Two brothers went door to door and collected information that shopkeepers kept on what customers they could trust to pay their bills back. From here, the brothers created a book with this information, and each was sold for $25 a year.

It’s at least a 125-year-old industry, and to my knowledge, no one has died because of it.

Almost everyone that reads this column has a credit score. If you are a farmer, the equivalent would be having a yield score from which landowners decide whether to rent or charge you based on the quality of yields you produce. I guess that’s like sharecropping. When did landowners become risk averse anyway?

I digress.

The fascinating part of the Equifax debacle isn’t that Equifax wasn’t using secure cloud infrastructure or that they’ve been doing this for more than 100 years, but rather the



types of responses that came out of the breach.

A company that created a chatbot — or a computer program which conducts conversations via artificial intelligence — to get you out of parking tickets (with over 70 percent success rate, mind you) created a chatbot to help you sue Equifax. It will do everything except show up to court for you.

But wow — it’s real! The chatbot works. And sometimes it takes a painful experience to make a change in order to drive technology.

But it works.

Even more, chatbots can work for agriculture, too. We also can get ahead of the curve, and do so without having to live through a painful experience like Equifax.

As digital agronomic solutions get better, data gets bigger and more abundant, and as artificial intelligence platforms get smarter, it’s only natural that chatbots become a necessity to interact, decipher and control the technology.

Chatbots could also scour news articles and information on crop yields around the globe to answer questions specific to your situation.

The bots could tell you how much to sell based on what’s in storage, what’s in your growing process and all the news happening around the world — endless opportunities for a wealth of knowledge.

You could even ask a chatbot to order inputs for you or fill out the information to make grain sales — not just generic questions.

Why waste your time filling out paperwork or talking over the phone?

Or even further, why waste time filling out an order on your phone? Just tell a chatbot to take care of it.

Another brilliant chatbot is one that negotiates your cable and internet bill for you. It exists, and I assume it works even though I haven’t tried it out for myself. So why not a chatbot that negotiates your grain offers or your custom combining rate?

Not outside the realm of possibility …

Scientist sees doubtful data

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer FARGO, N.D. — A weather expert from Omaha, Neb., thinks some of the of global warming data is based on bad science.

Art Douglas, professor emeritus and former chairman of the Atmospheric Science Department at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., spoke on Sept. 23, at the annual meeting of the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association in Fargo.

While Northern Hemisphere temperatures are warming, this is balanced by a cooling in the Southern Hemisphere.

“From northern Australia to South America, it’s cold,” Douglas said.

“Look at all of the ice we have around Antarctica, and it’s surrounded by very cold water,” he said, noting that even though the Northern Hemisphere is warm, but the “Southern Hemisphere is cold — redistributing energy across the planet.”

Douglas says people focus on ice shelves breaking off of Antarctica, but “if you study glacial geology you know that if it’s cold and snowy in Antarctica, it develops more snow,” he said.

“It puts weight on the snow. And guess what that snow does? It pushes out toward the sea.”

Further, Douglas says temperature histories in the world are short and instrumentation has changed in ways that are not fully accounted for. About 75 percent of the globe is covered with water, he said, and American founding father Benjamin Franklin in the 1700s discovered that ships traveling on particular routes traveled faster because they were on the gulf stream.

Merchant marine vessels were ordered to take water temperature data since the 1800s.

They did that by throwing a bucket overboard, lifting it up and putting a thermometer in it to take the temperature.

Boiler rooms

After World War II, most of the fleets in the world were replaced. Since the 1950s, the temperature of the water was recorded in engine rooms, where the water came in to cool the engines.

Temperatures went up.

Further, the National Weather Service changed the maximum-minimum thermometers to 12 feet above the ground, instead of the 4 feet where they’d been in the past.

“They didn’t want any comparison,” Douglas said. “They just said this is the new system: live with it. And guess what? We have global warming because of this change of instrumentation.”

The result is that global temperature change in the United States was “primarily at night,” he said. “Twelve feet up in the daytime doesn’t mean much, because you heat the ground and the hot air rises, right? The air temperature in the daytime hasn’t changed much but he temperature at night is a lot warmer,” he said. “This is something they did. This is the crux of bad science.”

Corrected it?

Douglas says the majority of the world’s scientists still see global warming because “they say they’ve corrected” for the instrumentation issue.

“But the problems are seasonal,” he says. “In the ocean the impact of going

Waters still remain warm north of the equator after an “exceptionally long” El Niño effect from 2014, 2015 and 2016. “Normally an El Niño lasts 12 to 14 months. This one lasted 38 to 40 months. That’s why we’re seeing a lot of hurricanes, and it’s also the reason the moisture has been more over the ocean than over the continent,” he said. The years 2008, 2009 and 2013 are the best analog years to compare with current conditions and offer insights into weather moving forward, Douglas said. Here is what he is expecting: ► Gulf of Mexico moisture will stay farther north than normal with

anomalous southeast flow. Expect above-normal precipitation from the Gulf to the Dakotas, improving prospects for winter wheat production. ► Expect wet conditions through the mid-section of the country in October, becoming warm and dry again by November, as well as warmer-than-normal temperatures. “Overall: not bad for a harvest situation,” Douglas says. “If there is some delay in October because of the moisture, it’ll be made up for in November with considerably warmer, dryer weather.” ► In December, expect “a lot of cold fronts coming down” and a snowy winter across the north central states, with the heaviest snows in the early winter. The north central states can expect average winter temperatures two to three degrees below normal but with a January thaw.

BRIDGING THE GAP

Finding my way back home NOW AVAILABLE IN THE APP STORE AND GOOGLE PLAY!

By Amanda Radke Special to Agweek It’s been nearly a decade since I was a college student studying agricultural communications at South Dakota State University. I’ll always remember my senior year being riddled with great anxiety about where I would go after graduation and if I would find a career that was exciting and fulfilling.

Growing up on a cattle ranch, my parents always encouraged my sisters and I to explore the world, to see what was beyond our small, rural community and quiet gravel road where we grew up. And explore I did. During college, AMANDA I traveled abroad to RADKE Argentina and lived in major cities — Washington, D.C., Minneapolis and Denver — for summer internships.

I was thrilled to have these awesome adventures, and even though I sometimes felt like a country mouse in the big city — I could totally envision myself having a fancy job in an expansive skyscraper in a glamorous city of my choosing.

But life has a funny way of surprising you. When I was 18, all I wanted to do was get as far away from the ranch as I could. Fast-forward to being 22 and preparing to graduate college, I suddenly yearned for the simplicity of country living and the challenges of raising cattle.

Fortunately, opportunity came knocking, and my parents were looking to expand the operation and welcome me into the fold. But how would the initial investment cash flow? That’s where my agricultural communications degree came in handy. I knew there were limited career options in my small town, so I created my own — freelancing for various agricultural publications and speaking to ag groups on hot industry issues.

Freelancing offered me the flexibility to write from home and set my own

hours, which served me well when it was time to feed cattle each day. I married my college sweetheart shortly after graduation, and just after our wedding, God sent us a very clear message that we were exactly where we needed to be. The ranch adjacent to my parents’ place came up for sale, and the neighbors accepted our offer. We were officially in the cattle business, with the space and opportunity to trade our youthful labor for much-needed equipment and supplies from my parents as we got started.

Seven years, two kids and a slug of cattle later, we’re still pursuing our dreams of being in the cattle business.

It certainly hasn’t been easy, and there have been times I’ve wondered if these lean initial years are going to pay off in the long-run. However, we keep moving forward, knowing that this is a wonderful way to raise children and instill in them lessons of responsibility, hard work, passion and dedication which they can apply no matter where life takes them.

As Tyler and I begin our careers in production agriculture while also balancing family time and the demands that go with raising a 3-year old and 1-year old, we’ve learned it takes a lot of patience and gallons of coffee!

I was recently asked to return to campus to speak about balancing my career as a writer with my agricultural pursuits, and it was a fun walk down memory lane to look back on the restless thoughts of a traveling teenager to later settling down in the place I’ve always called “home.”

Writing this first column for Agweek, I’m thrilled to introduce myself to all of you and show you a glimpse of my ranch life in southeastern South Dakota. I look forward to sharing many more stories from the prairie in the months to come!

Spreading the Gospel through agriculture

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer BISMARCK, N.D. — Farmers and ranchers, it’s often said, are equity rich and cash poor. Most make due just fine that way, but there are times when things get uncomfortable — including Sunday mornings when the offering plate goes by.

Ranchers, explains Keith Kost, executive director of STEER Inc., usually have equipment, land and feed. But they don’t always have a lot of unencumbered cash to donate.

But what STEER has found in the past 60 years is that it’s far less painful for ranchers to take in a few extra cows and feed them with their herds and share the profits.

“They’re not going to notice it nearly as much as if they’re going to write out a check,” Kost says.

STEER, a Bismarck, N.D.,-based nonprofit missions organizations, works with more than 1,000 farmers and ranchers in 36 states to help them support missions through farm- and ranch-related projects.

STEER will celebrate its 60th anniversary during its annual conference Oct. 6-7 in Bismarck, N.D., at the Ramkota Hotel & Conference Center.

The annual conference features speakers and exhibits from some of the organizations that derive support from STEER projects. As part of the celebration of the anniversary, the conference also will include a reunion of all past and present board members.

60 years In 1957, Rev. Ed Folden put up $1,000 and bought 14 steers. The sale of the steers yielded $2,000. The $1,000 profit was given to benefit Christian missionaries. And the original $1,000 investment still is in the coffers at STEER Inc., where it has been multiplied many times over.

In the past 60 years, ranchers and farmers associated with STEER have raised $26.5 million to send to Christian missions and organizations around the world. As Ivan Friesen, STEER’s ministry development assistant, explains, STEER has allowed ranchers to use their God-given gifts for caring for animals to serve Him, in connection to the Parable of Talents in the book of Matthew.

“We will work with what they do, what they’re good at,” he says.

In STEER’s most popular project, STEER owns cows and places them

STEER works to help farmers and ranchers support Christian missions through agricultural projects. with ranchers, who feed and care for them and calve them out. When the rancher sells his own calves, the calves out of the STEER cows are sold in STEER’s name and the profits go to support pre-selected missionaries or organizations.

STEER also has producers with projects centered around feeder calves, sheep, hogs or dairy animals. And for farmers, STEER will put up money for input costs of planting crops on a set number of acres, and the proceeds go through STEER to the selected organizations.

Kost and Friesen can list off family after family that have passed their STEER involvement down from generation to generation. Some families, they realize as they reflect on it, have been involved for four generations.

STEER has many ranchers in western North Dakota, where drought this summer shortened the lifespan of pastures and reduced the amount of winter feed available for cattle. Even as herds have been culled and cut down, many ranchers said the STEER cattle would be among the last ones to hit the trailer, Kost says.

“That’s one thing about farmers and ranchers,” he says. “When they commit to something, they stay committed.”

Continued purpose STEER is an evangelical organization in nature but is non-denominational. The organizations that find support through STEER cover a range of Christian outreach, from mission organizations that send missionaries to far-flung lands to campus and youth groups in the U.S. “It’s all for one purpose,” Friesen says. “And that’s to see the Gospel spread.”

Cru, formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ, has been the largest recipient of funding through STEER, but many organizations and individual missionaries have found support for their work from farmers and ranchers.

Often, Kost and Friesen explain, missionaries with an agricultural background or connection find the most support from people and communities they know who want to help in the only way they can — through the work they do on their farms or ranches.

While organizations worldwide have benefited from STEER funds, some closer to home also have found the support of farmers and ranchers through STEER to be vital. Tim Brenner, executive director of Crystal Springs Baptist Camp in central North Dakota, says the

funds have been integral to keeping the camp going.

“There have been times when the camp could not have functioned without the financial help that STEER provided,” he says. “It enables (ranchers) to give that much needed support to the missionaries when they don’t have liquid assets to donate.”

Brenner says STEER also bonds ranchers to missions. Seeing the STEER brand, a cross on top of a triangle, reminds the ranchers to pray for the missionaries, he says.

“I can’t think of anything that’s quite like it,” he says.

As STEER moves past its 60-year mark, Friesen says the organization has plenty of money to invest in new projects.

“Our biggest need is for farmers and ranchers,” he says.

Anyone who is interested in becoming involved in STEER should contact the office in Bismarck. Kost says STEER staff can provide names of people in a farmer’s or rancher’s area who can explain how the program has worked for them. He also invites people to consider attending a portion of the annual conference in Bismarck. The conference is free, though there is a cost for meals.

Driver airlifted after potato truck struck by train in central Minn.

OTTERTAIL, Minn. — A potato truck was struck by a train in Ottertail Wednesday morning, Sept. 27, pushing the truck along the tracks for several yards before coming to a stop.

The driver, Kenneth Betts, 32, of

Richville, sustained serious injuries but the extent of his injuries was not immediately known, according to the Otter Tail County Sheriff office. Betts was initially taken by ambulance to Perham Health Hospital, then transported by air to Sanford Health Hospital in Fargo. The crew of the train was not injured.

Witnesses said the truck crossed the railroad tracks in front of the train without yielding.

The City of Ottertail is 20 miles west of Wadena.

Responders from Ottertail Rescue, Perham EMS, the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota State Patrol assisted at the scene.

South Dakota meat company in ‘pink slime’ case launches fund for ex-workers

The South Dakota meat processor that sued ABC News over the characterization of its top-selling product as “pink slime” in TV news reports has set up a $10 million fund to help former employees and communities affected by the plants it closed in 2012, it said on Sept. 27..

The privately held Beef Products Inc., sued ABC, a unit of Walt Disney Co, in 2012, saying ABC defamed the company by using the term “pink slime” and accusing it of making errors and omissions in its reporting.

Walt Disney Co. paid at least $177 million, in addition to insurance recoveries, to settle the case against ABC, according to a financial filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The settlement was reached in June after a 3½ -week trial.

BPI said in the lawsuit that after the ABC News stories ran, its revenue declined and it had to close three plants in Texas, Kansas and Iowa.

BPI said it is working with former employees to apply for assistance with the help of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce and other organizations in the affected communities.

The settlement proceeds were not needed or directly used for creating the fund, Rich Jochum, BPI’s general counsel, said in an interview.

The company felt it could not launch this effort until after the lawsuit was settled, amid concerns over creating issues that could affect the case, he said.

McMartin discloses Creditors to meet financials Oct. 18 in Chapter 7

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer FARGO, N.D. — Farmer Ron G. McMartin Jr., of St. Thomas, N.D., on Sept. 25 provided details of his financial situation as part of the Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy.

An initial meeting of creditors in the individual bankruptcy has been rescheduled for 9 a.m. Oct. 18 at Norm Mark Reporting, 300 NP Ave., Suite 201, in Fargo.

McMartin ran McM Inc., which in 2015 totaled 50,000 acres of land, mostly in eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota. McM Inc. in February filed a separate but related Chapter 7 bankruptcy. McM Inc. listed $50 million in liabilities, but $10.2 million in assets.

Sara Diaz of Grand Forks, N.D., represents McMartin in the individual bankruptcy. He lists $52.2 million in unsecured claims and property assets of about $1.5 million.

Between the two cases there are assets of more than $11 million against debts of more than $50 million, says Erik Ahlgren of Fergus Falls, Minn., the court-appointed trustee for both cases.

In the individual Chapter 7, filed Sept.

11, McMartin lists himself as unemployed and living in St. Thomas. He describes that he has about $4,583.33 in income averaged by month, without describing a source. He says he has monthly expense obligations of $26,960 — a deficit of $22,376.67 per month.

About $23,000 of McMartin’s monthly obligations go to his ex-wife Gail L. Martin, Detroit Lakes, Minn., in a property division settlement from a 2010 divorce. He also owes $88,480 in a real estate mortgage securing Gail’s home.

Income change The bankruptcy figures indicate the change in McMartin’s income as the farm economy declined on the McM Inc. farm for which he had provided personal guarantees for loans.

In the documents, McMartin said that in 2017, up to the bankruptcy filing on Sept. 11, he’d had an income of $25,800 in business income, and separate income of $11,548 and $23,000 in income tax refunds — a total of about $60,000. Also in 2017, he sold $250,000 in Ramsey Financial Corp. stock.

In 2016, to compare, he said he’d made $244,000 in wages, $59,000 from operating another business, $60,650 in gains from sales of property and $31,000 in real estate rental — nearly $400,000.

In 2015, McMartin said his total income was about $658,207.

‘17 SuperCrew McMartin claims the equity in a vehicle as exempt from creditors. He drives a 2017 Ford F-150 SuperCrew XLT pickup with premium sound and navigation, worth about $50,000.

National Bank of Columbus, Ohio, has a $47,991 claim against it. He owes $1,100 a month in payments.

McMartin lists a total of $83,876 in credit card debt to three different accounts.

He lists more than $43 million in guaranteed business debt to BMO Harris Bank of Milwaukee that he describes as “unliquidated,” meaning that a final amount hasn’t been determined. The forms don’t say whether he disputes the guarantee.

He also lists more than $60,000 in debt to Deere & Co. and Deere Credit Inc. He owes $11,776 to Ford Motor Credit on an automobile deficiency in a guaranteed debt of McM Inc. McMartin on Oct. 17 sold his home in Grand Forks for about $418,900.

He moved about $2,500 in household goods to a local warehouse. The bankruptcy doesn’t include a listing for a homestead exemption.

$400K deal McMartin said he had a 28 percent interest in RGMC Properties LLC, an apartment building at 5932 South 53 Ave., in Fargo. He lists the asset at $420,000 on $1.5 million collateral value. He said a tenant has offered to purchase the building for $1.1 million.

Bremer Bank has a claim of $591,382 against the secured debt.

According to the documents, on June 11, 2016, McMartin said he “assigned” non-voting membership rights in the apartment building to daughters, Laura R. Hagemeister and Rachel McMartin, both of Fargo, with estimated value of $200,000 each. Details of that transaction aren’t clear from the record.

McMartin also lists $961,592 in CHS patronage dividends, but says CHS, Inc., has a $665,694 claim against that.

Learning a lesson from the birds

By Jenn Zeller Special to Agweek Early mornings are good for the soul I’ve been out doing chores with the sunrise a few times in the past couple of weeks. I love that time of day. The light is gorgeous. Dew dots the grass.

It’s cool and calm. There’s something soothing about all of it. If birds happily chirping don’t make your heart a little lighter and your hope a little greater, I don’t know what will.

Those birds, you see, they work every day — building and repairing their nests, searching for seeds and bugs. Those fancy, trilling singers are often hunted by snakes, coyotes and larger birds, though we never hear them complain. We hear their cheerful song, their happy tune. Frankly, that should put things into perspective.

We are blessed to live where we live and do what we do.

We are given the opportunity to be whomever we want to be, and make whatever we want of ourselves. We can play games or be a cowboy for a

living, or become a doctor or a lawyer — the possibilities are endless. If we want it bad enough we can find a way.

Often though, it seems we find ourselves whining and complaining about petty issues, about things that aren’t important, or taking action that backfires — such as biting the hand that lets us put food on the table.

Not a day goes by when you don’t see a post on Facebook or Twitter where someone is getting after someone else, or crabbing around about something. I’m as guilty as the next person. Go check my Twitter feed and you’ll discover that I’m pretty upset about the new Hulu User Interface.

Complaining about that is not a productive use of my time.

I need a lesson from the birds.

I need to keep on being happy and find the joy in the fact that I lived to see another sunrise — that there’s dew on the ground, great horses to ride, cows to rope, good dogs to pet and a lot life left to live.

So here’s to the birds — thank you

for singing your songs and reminding us to be grateful and thankful. I need to be more like you.

Until next time, Happy Trails!

AGRI-PULSE

Secretary Perdue is still looking for help



McKinney, pledged to be a “happy warrior” for U.S. producers on trade.

“I anticipate investing significant time in many foreign countries, building trust, opening doors for farmers and processors,” he said.

He said he wanted to be known as “a high-trust, high-delivery person of our ag portfolio.”

McKinney also said that USDA should continue to push a regionalization concept in managing animal disease outbreaks. USDA urges other countries to limit their import restrictions to the specific U.S. regions where a disease such as avian influenza has been found.

“We’ve got to continue to use science and research to show that we can manage these diseases, and we have,” he told Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Minnesota Democrat whose state was hit hard by the 2015 outbreak of avian influenza.

Neither nominee ran into any problems in the hearing and both are likely to have broad bipartisan support. The committee cannot vote on the nominations until at least next week to give time for senators to get follow-up questions answered by the nominees.

Perdue, who is eager to get a team in place at USDA, made a surprise visit to the hearing to greet the nominees and to listen to their opening statements.

Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., and Stabenow made clear the committee was aware that Perdue needs Censky and McKinney on the job.

“Secretary Perdue and his team have hit the ground running to keep the department working on behalf of the nation’s farmers, ranchers and other rural stakeholders, but we need to get his team officially on board,” Roberts said.

Stabenow said Perdue “can’t single-handedly run the department, which is why we are here to give him support.”

Trump also nominated four other people for high level jobs at USDA: ► Bill Northey, currently serving as Iowa’s agriculture secretary, as his pick for undersecretary for farm production and conservation. ► Greg Ibach for the position of undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs. Ibach has been Nebraska’s ag director since June of

2005, serving under two different governors over the last 12 years. ► Stephen Vaden to be USDA’s chief counsel. He is a Yale-educated attorney who has been at USDA since Trump’s inauguration, first as a senior advisor to the Office of General Counsel and then as acting general counsel beginning in March. ► Sam Clovis as undersecretary for research, education and economics.

Clovis served as chief policy adviser on the Trump campaign and has been working as a senior White House adviser at USDA since the president took office.

The first three are expected to also sail through the nomination process, but Clovis has already drawn the ire of top Democrats for comments he made while working as a conservative radio commentator in Iowa and for his lack of research credentials.

The Senate Agriculture Committee has not yet announced dates for consideration of any additional USDA nominees.

Building

Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., will say only that the committee will act on Clovis “in an expeditious fashion, if that is the desire of the secretary and the president.”

The second floor of the U.S. .Department of Agriculture’s headquarters building, where the Secretary of Agriculture holds court, is still pretty quiet. It’s SARA been more than eight WYANT months since Donald Agri-Pulse Trump was sworn in as president, and his cabinet positions are all filled, including Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue.

But the next tier of positions — the deputy, the undersecretaries and the administrators that handle key policy and program decisions — are all vacant.

That could start to change soon, although the process is moving at a snail’s pace.

At least two key nominees, the deputy agriculture secretary and the new position of undersecretary for trade, easily cleared their Senate confirmation hearings last week and are waiting for the full U.S. Senate to vote.

Steve Censky, the deputy secretary nominee who is now CEO of the American Soybean Association, assured the Senate Agriculture Committee that he would work to keep crop insurance “effective and viable,” champion the Renewable Fuel Standard and provide input into development of Trump’s budget proposals.

Censky, who hails from southwest Minnesota, also spelled out three personal goals that included ensuring that U.S. agriculture becomes more resilient to climate change. The other two goals: Expanding rural broadband availability and expanding market opportunities, both through foreign trade and promoting local and regional food markets.

Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., who worked for then-Sen. Jim Abdnor, R-S.D., at the same time as Censky did in the 1980s, recalled observing him work on farm policy.

“I always watched with great interest how he handled what was a very difficult time in agriculture, a time of great crisis, with great patience, diplomacy, empathy and knowledge,” said Thune.

The nominee for trade undersecretary, Indiana Agriculture Director Ted

REGIONAL NEWS

Slow harvest pace Are fall rains good or bad?

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer Fall rains can be both a joy and a frustration for Upper Midwest farmers — the former if soil moisture needs recharging, the latter if crops still need to be harvested.

Though recent rains in parts of Agweek country have improved the 2018 crop outlook, they’ve also slowed the overall harvest pace.

The new weekly crop progress report, released Monday, Sept. 25 by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, an arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, shows that the region’s corn, soybean and sugar beet harvests lag their respective five-year averages.

The report reflects conditions on Sept. 24.

Corn North Dakota — One percent of the crop was harvested, compared with the five-year average of 6 percent.

Fifty-three percent was rated good or excellent, 31 percent fair and 16 percent poor or very poor.

South Dakota — One percent was harvested, compared with the fiveyear average of 11 percent. Forty percent was rated good or excellent, 33 percent fair and 27 percent poor or very poor.

Minnesota — One percent was harvested, compared with the five-year average of 8 percent. Eighty-one percent was in good or excellent shape, 15 percent fair and 4 percent poor or very poor.

Soybeans South Dakota — Four percent of beans were harvested, compared with the five-year average of 17 percent.

Forty-nine percent were rated good or excellent, 34 percent fair and 17 percent poor or very poor.

Minnesota — Seven percent was harvested, compared with the fiveyear average of 19 percent. Seventy-one percent was rated good or excellent, 22 percent fair and 7 percent poor or very poor.

North Dakota — Nine percent was harvested, compared with the fiveyear average of 21 percent. Fifty-two percent was in good or excellent condition, 33 percent fair and 15 percent poor or very poor.

Sugar beets North Dakota — Twelve percent was harvested, compared with the fiveyear average of 13 percent.

Minnesota — Ten percent was harvested, compared with the five-year average of 12 percent.

Conservation, climate change on the agenda Conservation is one of the most important issues in modern agriculture. Climate change is one of the most controversial.

Jonathan Knutson, Agweek staff writer, Jonathan has an opportunity to Knutson learn more about both at the Society of Environmental Journalists’ annual conference Oct. 3-6 in Pittsburgh.

Knutson, national vice president of North American Agricultural Journalists, the professional organization for ag journalists in the U.S. and Canada, received a fellowship to attend the Pittsburgh conference. He does not belong to the environment journal-

ists’ group, which has more than 1,500 members worldwide.

“I’ve always believed that all of us, both inside and outside of ag, need to broaden our perspective. This conference should give me more insight into these issues, which I hope will benefit Agweek readers,” Knutson said.

The conference also will examine the 2018 farm bill and urban agriculture, among other topics.

Look for articles from the conference on www.agweek.com, www.facebook. com/Agweekmagazine, https://twitter.com/agweekmagazine and in print editions of Agweek.

Corn harvest is in full swing, with farmers looking to feed part of their corn crop to livestock, especially with the lower grain prices across the country. Receipts were somewhat curtailed and wheat planting halted as rain and cooler temperatures moved through the Southern Plains. On Thursday at the Valentine Livestock Auction in Valentine, Nebraska, there were many bell-ringing sales. There were two loads of steers weighing 719 pounds at 182.75 and a load of 866 pound steers bringing 171.25. An impressive amount of 159.00 was paid for a load of 853 pound heifers, which was only 5.00 lower than steers at the same weight. The Phillip Livestock Auction in Phillip, South Dakota had noteworthy sales on Tuesday, with a load of 530 pound steers selling at 196.00.

Follow the leader was played this week, with feeder cattle trading mostly lower early-week, following the triple-digit losses observed in the CME live and feeder cattle futures on Monday. This was due to the Board reacting to last week’s Cattle on Feed report, as Placements were significantly higher than expected. However, the Board turned positive mid-week and provided support to the feeder cattle market. Compared to last Friday, October live cattle futures closed 2.48 lower at 109.10 and December was 115.25, down 2.18. October feeder cattle futures closed 3.87 lower at 152.23 and November closed at 154.00, down 3.62, both compared to last Friday. Cash cattle trade broke out on Thursday. In the Southern Plains, live trades were steady at 108.00. In Nebraska trading was limited on moderate demand, with a few dressed trades from 170.00-172.00. For the prior week in Nebraska, live trades were mostly at 109.00 and dressed from 170.00-172.00. Packers remain profitable and consumer demand for beef continues to drive packer operating margins in the black. This corroborates the live cash prices received the past couple weeks. Boxed-beef cutout values began the week sharply higher, for both Choice and Select cuts on light offerings; however, midweek values were sharply lower with an increase of offerings. As the week progressed, the values split with Choice trending slightly higher and Select trending slightly lower, both with light to moderate offerings. Compared to last Friday, Choice boxed-beef closed at 196.62, up 5.02 and Select boxed-beef was down 23 cents at 188.50. The Choice-Select spread closed today at 8.12, up 5.25 from last Friday. NASS released their quarterly Grain Stocks report today. Old crop corn stocks totaled 2.29 billion bushels on September 1, 2017. This is up 32 percent from a year ago. Old crop soybean stocks totaled 301 million bushels on September 1, 2017, up 53 percent from a year ago. Auction volume this week include 42 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 40 percent heifers.

EPA’s 2018 mandate uncertainty

By Alex Norton Beeson Inc. One bright spot for commodities markets over the last few months has been vegetable oils. In a landscape of generally well-supplied markets, prices have been weak (save spring wheat’s support due to hot and dry weather).

Vegetable oils have been firm for a few reasons. First, soybean meal demand has not been very strong, leading to weaker crush demand and therefore lower soybean oil output.

Palm oil stocks have been lower as Malaysian production has not hit expectations. And canola output was smaller than initially expected due to the weather stress. All of these factors had the market supported until a few weeks ago.

What has changed? Stocks in Malaysia are recovering and crop estimates for canola have improved, but the most recent pressure comes from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA is taking comments on adjusting blending requirements for biodiesel which could potentially lower the mandates altogether or allow other

biofuels (such as ethanol) to meet advanced mandate requirements.

Recall in the last U.S. Department of Agriculture World Agricultural Supply and Demand Report that biodiesel demand for soybean oil was increased a remarkable 550 million pounds from the August estimate. This jump in the WASDE was very supportive, but this potential change to the mandate for 2018 has put question around future demand, leading to price weakness.

Wheat The wheat market has been very quiet, lacking any major volatility for weeks. Prices have been slowly creeping higher, but not due to any significant change in supply or demand.

Buyers are simply stepping in to capture low prices, giving some support.

In the U.S., winter wheat planting continues to move along, with the Department of Agriculture reporting 24 percent completion compared to 28 percent for the five-year average.

Some rains in the coming week may slow progress a bit, but moisture will be helpful for early development and emergence.

Questions remain about the actual size of the crop, but these will soon be answered as harvest is well under way. Saskatchewan reported that 68 percent of the crop has been harvested and Manitoba is likely a bit ahead.

Alberta has been slowed by rains (with more expected in the near term) and only 45 percent is complete.

Durum

Peas & Lentils

Following general weakness from the broader wheat markets, durum prices stepped lower. Harvest activity is done in the U.S. and nearing completion in Canada. The crop is definitely smaller, given the heat and dryness throughout the Plains this summer. But, overall supplies are not so tight that the market cannot ease a bit following harvest.

Saskatchewan’s pea and lentil harvest is basically complete, but cooler and wetter weather is making the final effort difficult for farmers. In some areas, rains are welcomed while central and northern parts of the province need dry and warm conditions to finish out harvest. Moisture reserves are improving after the dry summer, but more is needed in the long term.

Canola As previously mentioned, fats markets have been on the defensive for the last week, but canola has been able to largely resist the pull lower.

Demand for seed and product remains very strong and supplies are tight as newly harvested product has not fully hit the market.

Mustard The Canadian Grains Commission has reported 300 metric tons of mustard seed as cleared through reporting terminals. Total exports to date for the 2017-18 crop year are at 2,500 metric tons compared to 2,000 metric tons last year at this date.

AGWEEK/Monday, October 2, 2017 A23

MARKETS

Surprises in Friday’s USDA report Wheat The wheat market had good gains early week with ongoing crop concerns in Australia, Russia and the Ukraine. The Euro traded to a one-month low versus the U.S. dollar which supported European Union wheat futures and in turn U.S. wheat futures. Australian wheat futures also rallied to $286 U.S. December Chicago peaked at $4.62 which would be current resistance.

Support is $4.45.

The mood was tempered late week as Australian wheat futures declined to $285 U.S. on forecasts to receive much needed rains in the growing regions of New South Wales and Queensland. Australian winter rainfall is the lowest since 2002. Also tempering the mood was a report that Russian winter wheat plantings are above last year’s 10.6 million hectares, at 11.2 million hectares.

A lack of buying interest also came from poor weekly export sales numbers Sept. 28. The average cash price across the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s eight select terminal is up 19.7 percent from the same period a year ago and net sales of wheat are down 13.3 percent.

USDA released its quarterly stocks report Sept. 29. All U.S. wheat stocks came in at 2.253 billion bushels, down 11 percent from last year but near analyst expectations.

All U.S. wheat production came in at 1.741 billion bushels down 25 percent from last year’s production of 2.31 billion bushels. Spring wheat production was estimated at 416 million bushels, which came in at the high end of expectations, but remains a 22 percent decrease from last year, making it the smallest spring wheat crop since the 388 million bushel crop of 2002.

Other spring wheat estimates ranged from 338 million bushels to 421 million bushels versus USDA’s August number of 402 million bushels. Durum production was pegged at 55 million bushels, down 47 percent from last year.

For the week ending September 28, December contracts for Minneapolis wheat were up 10.25 cents at $6.45, up 5.5 cents at $4.55 for Chicago wheat and up 2.75 cents at $4.53 for Kansas City wheat.

Corn The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is requesting comment on a further reduction of the 2018 advanced biofuel volume requirement from the proposed level of 4.24 billion gallons to 3.77 billion gallons, and the 2018 total renewable fuel volume requirement from the proposed 19.24 billion gallons to 18.77 billion gallons. The American Petroleum Institute has argued that ethanol imports into the U.S. should count as total production.

Renewable Fuels Association President Bob Dineen issued a formal statement: “We see no statutory basis whatsoever for attempting to limit biofuel imports through the use of a general waiver. It is also likely that using Renewable Fuels Standard waiver authority in an attempt to limit exports would be perceived as a non-tariff trade barrier, which would run afoul of U.S. obligations under the World Trade Organization rules.”

Dineen added that “Congress never intended Renewable Fuel Standard waiver authority to manage trade flows.” It is unlikely that cutting these numbers would reduce biodiesel imports as biomass-based and renewable diesel imports are a cheaper source for obligated parties (refineries) because they are subsidized by exporting nations.

USDA released its quarterly stocks report for inventories as of Sept. 1. Corn ending stocks swelled to a 30-year record of 2.295 billion bushels. This was slightly below the pre-report trade expectations of 2.35 billion bushels. On-farm stocks were estimated at 787 million, 25 percent higher than last year. Off-farm stocks were pegged at 1.51 billion bushels, 36 percent higher than last year. June to August disappearance was estimated at 2.93 billion bushels, down from 2.97 billion bushels during the same period last year.

Soybeans Soybean prices could not find additional support to push higher after they found their way back up to the upper end of their trading range last week. They felt pressure from good early yield reports and an improving forecast for rains to get Brazil’s planting season started. Weather forecasts for Argentina are still showing a wetter forecast, and they are already wet. Favorable U.S. harvest weather and no threats of frost were negative for prices.

The focus will turn to yields the next couple weeks leading into the Oct. 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report and South American weather will start to get more important. The Sept. 29 quarterly stock report was bullish for soybeans, as they lowered stocks to 301 million bushels, well below pre-report estimates. Pre-report estimates were for stocks to come in at 339 million bushels versus the September estimates of 345 million bushels. The USDA also revised its 2016 soybean production estimate down 10.6 million bushels to 4.296 billion bushels, and trimmed its previous 2016 soybean yield estimate 0.1 bushels to 52 bushels per acre.

This large drop in stocks was lower than any analyst was guessing, and the market reacted positively to it.

For the week ending Sept. 28, November 2017 soybeans were down 24.75 cents. January soybeans were down 24.25 cents.

The favorite phrase around the marketing community is “better than expected yields” for the early harvest.

Was everybody expecting worse than average yields for much of the Midwest? There were trouble areas in the “I” states and Dakotas, and that is what dominated the news this summer.

Soybeans looked in tough shape early in the year, but for the most part August was an almost perfect growing month for soybeans. Soybean yields are made in August.

There was cool weather early in August that helped stop drought conditions from worsening, and rains started falling just in time to save a lot of yield potential.

The USDA was in the camp of better than average yields because of August weather. There was a lot of variability around the country, and that is why this year’s production is going to be so hard to peg. Some

farmers are getting yields as good as last year, which is surprising to them, but this year’s crop is not as uniform as last year.

Overall yields probably won’t be as good as last year, but that was an exceptional year. Could the USDA be high on their September report yield estimates? There is a good possibility of that, but don’t be surprised if yields end up better than what farmers “were expecting.”

If early harvest is any indication for things to come, the U.S. won’t have any shortage of beans again this year. Early frost concerns also provided support, but those concerns are in the past now as we get into October.

Soybeans have been resilient the past couple of years, and this year is no exception. Demand continues to stay strong, and that is getting helped by a weakening dollar and Gulf bids that are cheaper than Brazilian port bids.

There is a strong appetite for bean products around the world.

During the week that ended Sept. 19, funds bought back more of their positions and are now net long for the first time since the week of Aug. 8.

Soybeans dipped back below $9.79, which is both chart support and the 200 day-moving average. Soybeans finally broke through this resistance on Friday, but could not find follow through to start the week. The pre-August report highs of $9.88 November futures are last resistance before $10.

November 2017 support is $9.58 and then $9.20 is support before we get to the recent lows of $9.07 we saw on June 23.

Canola For the week ending Sept. 28, November canola futures in Winnipeg were $4 Canadian lower at $490.80 Canadian per metric ton. The Canadian dollar is trading at .8050. This brings the U.S. price to $17.93 per hundredweight. ► Velva, N.D., $17.14 per hundredweight, October at $17.14. ► Enderlin, N.D., $17.79 per hundredweight, October at $17.79. ► Hallock, Minn., $17.11 per hundredweight, October at $17.36. ► Fargo, N.D., $17.70 per hundredweight, October at $17.75.

Losses in the U.S. soy complex, particularly soyoil, is weighing on this market. Seasonal harvest pressure also remains a bearish influence in the canola market. A cool and wet forecast could delay harvest in parts of western Canada. This could provide some underlying support.

Barley Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2.10, while malting barley received no quote. Berthold bid is $2 and CHS Southwest New Salem, N.D., bids were at $2.50

Durum Cash bids for milling quality durum are $6.75 in Berthold, N.D., and at $6.75 in Dickinson, N.D.

Sunflower Cash sunflower bids in Fargo were at $17.10, with October-November at $16.90. For the week ending Sept, 28, soybean oil was down $1.36 at $32.63 on the October contract.
