McM lake trustee denies fraud Says banker BMO was informed

By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer FERGUS FALLS, Minn. — The trustee for a lake home in Minnesota involved in the McM Inc. farm bankruptcy case has denied any fraud and said the trust should not have to cough up money for creditors of the bankrupt farm. McM — a large farm based at St. Thomas, N.D. — filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Feb. 10, 2017. The McM trustee alleged a transfer of a lake place in 2015 was improper and that value should be returned to the McM Inc. The lake property is at 41106 County Rd. 126, Detroit Lakes, Minn. McM Trustee Erik Ahlgren of Fergus Falls, Minn., working with attorney Matthew R. Burton in Minneapolis, filed a complaint on Dec. 4, 2017, asking for the value of the lake place to be returned. Paul D. Blomquist, a car dealer in Hallock, Minn., is trustee of Island Lake Irrevocable Trust. The trust’s lawyer, George Hanson of Hallock, Minn., on Jan. 3 answered the allegations. In his response, Hanson denied any fraud in the transfer of a lake place and asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to reject the allegations. The McM bankruptcy initially stated about $10 million in assets and $48 million in debts, including $43 million to BMO Harris Bank. Creditors later filed proofs showing $64 million in debts. About $9 million in crop proceeds have been paid out, mostly to secured creditors.

The contract

What goes up

Ahlgren wrote that BMO Harris Bank had alleged that McM’s financial statements to the bank were false. “Ron McMartin Jr. knew that (McM) was deceiving BMO Harris Bank, among others, and that (McM’s) financial problems would be insurmountable,” Ahlgren said. The trust said Ahlgren hasn’t proved it yet. Ahlgren said McM Inc. entered a contract for deed from the Joyce E. Warner Trust on Sept. 18, 2008. The property was on McM’s financial statements starting that year, with mortgages including primarily First Security Bank — Sleepy Eye, Detroit Lakes branch. In the civil fraud complaint, Ahlgren said McM assumed the mortgage and made a “sham” payment for equity on June 6, 2011. The McM farm “purchased” it for about $1.3 million. Subsequently, McM’s “fortunes faded and its financial problems mounted.” On March 24, 2015, Ahlgren said Security Bank transferred the property to McM in a quit claim deed in Becker County, Minn., for about $1.265 million. On March 28, 2015, McM recorded a new mortgage with Security Bank, with a $946,000 balance — a difference of $319,000. “This was a sham transaction, (McM) had no intention of receiving actual payment of that amount,” Ahlgren wrote. “Instead, in order to make the sale appear to be an arms-length transaction, (McM) and the (Island Lake) Trust created the appearance of an exchange of funds.” In the response, Blomquist denied this, and Hanson noted the claims hadn’t been proven in court.

Ahlgren said that McM had “dramatically improved the Island Lake Property,” including adding a large shop and a “bar known as the Sugar Hill Tavern.” In 2011, it was $2.033 million; in 2012, it was $2.404 million; in 2013, it was $2.498 million. During this time, McM was improving the property. In 2014, McM switched accounting firms and the “financial statement for that year reduced the value” to $1.26 million which was “then pegged as the purchase price” to the Island Lake Irrevocable Trust. According to Ahlgren, this was based on an appraisal “done for Ron McMartin Jr.,” in September 2014. Separately, Security Bank obtained an appraisal, valuing the property at $1.38 million, but the bank noted on the appraisal that it was “not acceptable appraisal,” Ahlgren said. On Sept. 30, 2015, Ahlgren said McM issued a $36,000 check to the irrevocable trust for “storage rent.” “There was not any legitimate business purpose for this check, and the transfer is avoidable,” Ahlgren said. Blomquist said that is “a legal conclusion to which no response is required” but then denied the allegation anyway. Ahlgren noted that on April 12, 2016 — after the transfer had occurred from McM to the trust — Becker County Planning Commission minutes quote Scott Walz from Meadowland Surveying “on behalf of Ron McMartin and Island Lake Irrevocable Trust.” The trust was seeking to survey Tract A, to “accommodate the existing cabin and guest cottage.” The minutes describe a “Tract B,” where “McMartin is going to construct a

future dwelling and the remnant tract has enough lake frontage to possibly subdivide someday for children to make a lake lot and rear non-riparian lots.” Dominion, control McMartin continued to “exercise dominion and control” after the “transfer” from McM to the trust. On June 1, 2016, McM paid $3,433 to an insurance company on behalf of the trust. Also, about Sept. 26, 2017, Ahlgren said Hanson said the trust records were at the Vogel Law Firm in Fargo, which is handling the McM Inc. bankruptcy, and not with Blomquist. Ahlgren described the transactions as “insider” transfers. Hanson denied that McM received “less than a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfers.” In the response, Hanson denied that Ahlgren is entitled to recover property in the transfers. Hanson said McM and McMartin Jr. had used an “eminently qualified and seasoned law firm (Vogel) to effectuate the establishment of the Trust and the subsequent purchase of the Island Lake Property by the Trust from (McM).” McM is “generally aware that many companies and residents” from North Dakota own Minnesota property and “try to limit their exposure to Minnesota estate tax through the creation of various legal vessels (like an irrevocable trust),” Hanson wrote. Hanson said the lake place by McM was disclosed to BMO, the primary financier, “prior to the transaction being consummated.” He said the price was according to an independent, licensed appraiser and that Ahlgren’s claims of civil fraud are “based substantially on the unproven proclamations of BMO.”

cle it could be attached to. “We’ll work for that. This isn’t done,” he said. He said it’s important to understand that the tax reform offers benefits for everyone, regardless of whether corrections are needed.

Section ‘199A’ The IRS tax code for several years has included Section 199 (also called DEPAP, or Domestic Production Activities Deduction), which allowed co-ops to take a deduction at the co-op level, but gave them the ability to pass whatever they didn’t use to members for deductions. The co-ops were limited to 9 percent of gross revenue or 50 percent of wages paid. Farmers and co-ops were surprised in November when the provision wasn’t retained in the House tax reform package being promoted by Republicans and President Donald Trump. Companies like American Crystal Sugar Co. of Moorhead, Minn., and Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative of Wahpeton, N.D., said the change could cost the average-sized beet grower $15,000. Hoeven — a staunch ally of the sugar industry — and 10 Senate colleagues tried in vain to push a provision in the Senate version that would “make sure there was no tax increase on co-ops and the farmers who sell to co-ops.” While Hoeven’s amendment failed, another by Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., addressed the issue for the cooperative level, but

“didn’t do quite enough for members of co-ops that were farmers,” Bernstein said. “Upon looking at it further, both House and Senate members thought we needed to take the next step and do something that helped farmers in addition,” Bernstein said. They called it “199A.” The ink was still wet while Hoeven was hearing from elevator operators about their “individual circumstances,” Bernstein said. “Basically I come back from Christmas vacation and a friend (another private elevator owner) called me,” Tronson said.

“He said, ‘Did you see the new tax law and what it’s doing to us?’ We had some farmers stop in and say, ‘I can’t haul you any grain. If I do, I’ll have to pay tax.’ This whole thing got slanted in favor of the co-op.”

Can’t wait Tronson doesn’t think Hoeven knew it would have that wrong effect. He wonders if co-op lobbyists knew about it. The Osnabrock Farmers Elevator on Jan. 4 sent out a customer e-mail to alert them to the “new provision allowed on payments on COOPS,” pertaining to grain sales and dividends received. The note indicated the provision is in place until 2025. Tronson says he can’t wait a month for a fix. He says now is a busy time for farmers hauling and shipping grain. “They have to make a

change or make a statement in the next two weeks,” Tronson says. “They’ve got to make a statement that this isn’t what we intended; we’re going to make a change. Can’t they just take the politics out of this thing?” Stuart Letcher, executive vice president of the North Dakota Grain Dealers Association, estimated that about 65 percent of the state’s grain elevators are co-ops. He couldn’t immediately estimate volume percentages for the two categories. He says the NDGDA board of directors will likely decide a policy recommendation before their state annual meeting next week in Fargo. Tronson predicts that if the co-op advantage isn’t corrected, grain would migrate to the co-ops, who won’t have the capacity to handle all of it.

MN farmer recognized for protecting water quality ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jerald Morical, a Garfield, Minn., farmer was certified by the Douglas Soil and Water Conservation District through the Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program, a voluntary program that officials say protects lakes and rivers from farm runoff. Morical farms 650 acres, rotating corn, soybeans and wheat. For five years, he has not tilled the soil, which he said has helped water infiltrate the soil and eliminated gully erosion problems. Through the transition, his crop yields have stayed steady. His other practices include planting cover crops, maintaining vegetation to protect soil, minimizing soil disturbance and maintaining living roots in the soil.

Rural prosperity task force releases report, recommendations By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer WASHINGTON — The Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity has presented President Donald Trump with a report on ways to improve life in rural areas. Trump on April 25, 2017, established the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity through an executive order. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue was made the chair of the group, which then held listening sessions and took comments through an online portal. The task force was to identify legislative, regulatory and policy changes to promote agriculture, economic development, job growth, infrastructure improvements, technological innovation, energy security and quality of life in rural America. “While other sectors of the American economy have largely recovered from the Great Recession, rural America has lagged in almost every indicator,” Perdue wrote in a letter in the report. “Your charge to identify and recommend a pathway back to prosperity for these fellow citizens is one we have taken seriously.” The report, presented to the presi-

dent on Jan. 8, identifies five “Calls to Action,” each with recommendations for improvements: Achieving e-Connectivity for Rural America, Improving Quality of Life, Supporting a Rural Workforce, Harnessing Technological Innovation and Developing the Rural Economy. To achieve the objectives set out in the report, the task force also recommends the president establish a federal commission on agriculture and rural prosperity that would meet at least bi-annually and prepare regular reports to the president on its progress. It also recommends establishing a stakeholder advisory council to advise the commission and establishing a managing director to oversee both the commission and the advisory council. Many of the recommendations throughout the report involve improving cooperation among federal agencies, establishing additional task forces, reducing regulatory burdens and finding better ways to utilize existing resources. Recommendations in the area of Harnessing Technological Innovation included numerous recommendations related to biotechnology, including improving public acceptance of biotech

products and using a science-based regulatory for biotech products. “Globally, the biotechnology sector is a driver of the ‘fourth industrial revolution,’ and presents an incredible opportunity for American farmers and rural communities to thrive at the forefront of innovation,” the report states. The Biotechnology Innovation Organization in a statement said it welcomes the recommendations. “As the report states, scientific advancements in biotechnology have produced a thriving and successful industrial sector aimed at addressing our world’s most pressing challenges,” said Jim Greenwood, the organization’s president and CEO. “Further innovations in genome editing technology will unlock even more promises in agriculture production, animal health and welfare, biofuels and renewable chemical development, and biobased manufacturing.” Recommendations for improving broadband access were applauded by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association. “This task force report rightfully identifies a number of key areas that are essential to economic growth, and nearly all depend on expanded access

to high-speed internet,” said NRECA CEO Jim Matheson in a statement. “For decades, electric cooperatives have enhanced the quality of life throughout rural America. Now, co-ops across the nation are helping reinvigorate rural economies by bringing broadband access to homes and businesses.” North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum also expressed his support for the recommendations. “Agriculture and rural communities form the bedrock of our state, and the task force’s recommendations on innovation, workforce, connectivity and economic development provide a roadmap for how to help our rural areas prosper in a 21st century economy. We look forward to working with the administration to help bring these recommendations to fruition for the benefit of current and future generations,” he said in a statement.

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer Cargill is one of the world’s most powerful agricultural companies. There’s disagreement, both in and out of ag circles, on whether it uses that power constructively. But everybody, in and out of ag, agrees that Cargill is extremely smart and savvy. So when the company’s retired president and CEO says something, I listen carefully — especially when it reinforces what I already believe. A few weeks ago, Greg Page, who retired from Cargill in 2015, spoke at a Grand Forks, N.D., farm show. He said, among other things, that agriculture needs to connect better with people outside ag. That’s hardly controversial. It’s as obvious and common-sensical as bundling up to go outside in the winter and making sure our car tires are inflated properly. But making that connection won’t be easy, Page said, calling it “a wicked problem.” In trying to resolve the problem, he said, it’s necessary to avoid two extremes: on one end, planting all cropland to perennials; on the other, farmers insisting, “It’s my land and I can do whatever I darn well please with it.” Neither extreme is realistic, neither would provide a workable solution, Page said. I’m not knowledgeable about ardent environmentalists. But I suppose there are some people, a few anyway, who support planting nothing but perennials. Decide for yourself whether doing so would produce enough food to feed the world’s fast-growing population. But I’m confident in saying that the overwhelming majority of mainstream aggies will join me in saying, no, obviously not, not even close. Now the other extreme: farmers who insist it’s their land and they can do whatever they want with it. They definitely exist; I know that from personal experience. A year ago, another speaker at an area farm show — an experienced, dedicated aggie — advised farmers to consider the public relations downside of removing shelterbelts in high-visibility areas. A lot of people like trees, he said, and they get upset when shelterbelts are cut down. His advice to farmers in that situation: Replace the trees or take some other action to show the public that you care about the environment. I wrote a column relaying and endorsing that advice. (The column stressed my farm background and the importance I put on property rights.) After the column ran, I received quite a bit of feedback. Most of it agreed that, yes, public perception is too important to ignore. But I also received several phone calls from angry farmers who told me in no uncertain terms, “It’s my land, and I can do whatever I darn well want with it.” Except they used stronger, more colorful words than “darn.” I responded politely that doing whatever they want angers the public and leads to regulations and legislation that will hurt themselves and ag in general. They told me, again in no uncertain terms and in colorful language, that I’m an idiot and should mind my own business. Well, maybe I’m an idiot. But Greg Page assuredly is not. And as he said at the farm show, agriculture risks unpleasant regulations and legislation if it doesn’t voluntarily address public concerns.

Other farmers at risk, too Yes, it’s your land. I can’t stop you from doing whatever you want with it. But when what you’re doing angers and alienates too much of society, you guarantee a reaction from people who can stop you. And when that happens, you hurt all of agriculture. Don’t mess up things for the rest of us.

SOIL HEALTH MINUTE

Can you build soil health? By Abbey Wick NDSU Extension Soil Health Specialist Within the realm of soil health, there is the idea presented of “building soil health” in farming systems. But, what does soil ABBEY health mean? Can WICK you measure whether you’ve built soil health or not? Does thinking about soil health in this way lead to objectively evaluating a field and coming up with a plan to address issues you see? Lee Briese, Allie Marks (both well respected consultants with Centrol Ag) and I kicked around ideas about this topic last week as we prepared for our panel discussion at the Corn and Soybean Expo to be held Feb.13. As we provide guidance to farmers, there is a strategic way that we approach the topic of soil health. So, I’ll share this approach. First, we typically don’t think about “building soil health.” Instead, we objectively look at a field and ask “what are the issues we see?” and how might soil health building practices be incorporated into the system? Issues might be reductions in yield, bare salty areas, weed pressures or soil blowing off the field. The trick is to objectively identify the issue first. Next, set a goal. Let’s use the issue of soil in the ditch as an example. In this case, reducing erosion is the goal. To reduce erosion, the soil needs to be covered with residue (or a living plant like cereal rye). Trapping additional snow in the residue may provide more cover, so that could be used as a tool. With a high-residue crop (corn), figure out how to keep enough residue without causing issues during spring planting. With a low-residue crop (soybean), find a way to build enough residue on the surface to protect the soil. Next, use goals to develop a systematic plan for action. First, determine which tools can help achieve your goals. For example, if a cover crop could help, what is your current and next crop in rotation? Will you interseed or establish it after harvest and what will you seed to help cover the soil?

Consultant Lee Briese and Tony Wagner objectively evaluate a bare patch in Tony’s field. Then, consider the residue at harvest. Chopping head or non-chopping head? Straight cut or stripper head? Is the residue evenly spread? Make adjustments to the combine before or at harvest to get residue spread evenly. Tools like vertical tillage can help with uneven residue — don’t be afraid to use these tools, but use them on a field-by-field basis. If there isn’t enough residue to reduce erosion, set up this year to address this issue next year. For example, get more residue on the surface by having a fall-seeded or interseeded cereal rye cover crop established the year prior to planting a low-residue crop like soybeans. Cereal rye (living and residue) will help control erosion while providing residue cover that may persist until after soybean harvest. If you still need more residue, then fly on an oat cover crop into standing soybeans. Oats are a great option, because they are flexible for the next crop in rotation and winter kill. Lastly, learn. Get out in the field to see how the system responds. Determine what worked and didn’t work then tweak the system. Each year will be different, so keep that in mind. Success lies in being able to identify the issue, determine a goal, establish and carry out a plan and evaluate the response — not necessarily in the generalization of “building soil health.” Editor’s note: Wick is an Extension Soil Health Specialist at NDSU.

Left: Many of the nearly 300 exhibitors at the Dakota Farm Show displayed various technologies designed to help producers improve their margins. Right: John McMaine, South Dakota State University assistant professor and extension water management engineer, spoke about the in-field practices farmers can employ to improve soil health and water quality.

Dakota Farm Show focuses on ROI and environment being the No. 1,” Mockler says. Dave Schwans, president of N-Rich Plant Food Inc. of Humboldt, S.D., talked with growers about how their starter fertilizer product can help farmers to improve margins, by allowing them to use less overall fertilizer. “We’re trying to work more with placement, getting fertilizer placed where it should be, so that way you can back off on units. You can then have more units do a better job because you’re placing them right in furrow at a cheaper cost,” he says. Technology like AgSense offers remote soil moisture and irrigation monitoring. Farmers can control their pivots via cell phone and have data at their fingertips. “Tying into soil moisture probes, we can tell the ground if its saturated or not, so that will give you data if you need to be watering or not,” says Josh Nienhueser, AgSense central territory manager. This application also results in less water use. “Instead of like the standard practice that it’s always been … I’m going to put an inch across every acre of that field. You can vary that throughout the field based on your soil types and terrain,” he says. Precise but variable water placement in the field is not only more environmentally sound, but it also saves the grower time and money. “The more water that you pump, there’s more cost for that irrigation to use electricity or the diesel fuel to pump that. So, the less water you

pump, the more savings there is,” Nienhueser says. Seminars included topics to help farmers be better stewards of the land. “Water quality and runoff and those impacts on the environment are hot topics,” says Riles. John McMaine, South Dakota State University assistant professor and extension water management engineer, spoke about the in-field practices farmers can employ to improve soil health and water quality. “There’s been a big push for things like cover crops, which are able to capture some of those nutrients. There’s been a lot of no-till implemented,” he says. However, he also shared several edge-of-field practices farmers can use to promote water quality like buffers. “Grass waterways, anything to reduce erosion — that’s a big issue,” says McMaine. South Dakota is ahead of many other states when it comes to water quality, as farmers have avoided initiatives like bordering states have in place. “I know a lot of our neighbors, Minnesota and Iowa, have a lot of issues especially with nitrate and that kind of thing,” says McMaine. Farmers are generally trying to do the right thing regarding the impact their agronomic practices are having on water quality, according to McMaine. “I think farmers understand that they do have an impact on water quality, and, in many cases, farmers are

just trying to make a living,” he says. Schwans agrees. “They’re not going to go out and just cover fields with fertilizer just because they want to or they can. The margins are too tight,” he says.

By Michelle Rook Special to Agweek VERMILLION, S.D. — At the 35th annual Dakota Farm Show, held Jan. 3-5, farmers were once again interested in management strategies or technology that could help them improve their return on investment in the continued low commodity price environment. However, those same farmers were also looking at ways to be better environmental stewards. John Riles Jr. with Midwest Shows says many of the nearly 300 exhibitors at the show were displaying various technologies designed to help producers improve their margins. “There’s a lot of real technological discussions going on here, and it’s all focused on how do we reduce costs or be more efficient or drive yields,” he says. This year’s agronomic discussions at the show included plans for more acres of soybeans since that crop has been more profitable than corn. “The last two years, the beans have probably been $50 or $60 better than the corn has and again a lot less input costs, less harvest time,” says Keith Mockler, an agronomist for Monsanto. As a result, some farmers are even exploring the idea of breaking their 50-50 corn-soybean rotation. “We’re obviously going to see some beans on beans until this corn market rallies a little bit, but, there again, I’m going to caution anybody on doing that until it’s time to plant. The biggest challenge with beans on beans is insects and diseases, soybean cyst

Specialized facilities from Superior Grain Equipment give more options to farmers

hen you think of Superior Grain Equipment, you may think of grain bins, but the Kindred, N.D.-based company is so much more. They also build specialized facilities that o�er farmers a faster and more e�cient way to market their crops. When Ag Central Co-op in Greenback, Tenn., wanted to build a new facility, they had an ambitious plan. They wanted to be able to do several things including load or unload grain, as well and dry and roast soybeans. “Ag Central Feed is one of the primary products that we produce here at Ag Central, and our thinking was to create a market for our current members, and to buy a locally grown product, as opposed to purchasing a product and having it shipped in here,” says Brent Best, chief operating o�cer of Ag Central Co-op. What they got from Superior Grain is a custom-designed, full service facility. The equipment from Superior

allowed them to integrate many facets of a grain facility, a storage facility and a drying facility, along with the fact that they have integrated hammer mill, roller mill and roasting operations. “We’ve taken something that was very unique to this area and took a green ﬁll site and started from scratch with it,” says Randy Co�ee, vice president of sales and marketing for Superior Grain Equipment. Superior designed the facility to meet the co-op’s multiple needs, and managed the project from start to ﬁnish — something that is unique to the industry. “Taking everything from the marketing structure that Ag Central has in this area, we integrated those philosophies of what was needed at the facility to put this package together,” says Co�ee. “We wanted to be able to do multiple things throughout the system — not have a bottle neck if we were receiving beans or trying to roast beans, or corn for that matter,” says

Best. With the new facility, they can roast, receive and load out beans, giving them unlimited ﬂexibility. “We wanted to be able to dry, to roast, and then to unload or load all at the same time,” says John Walker, CEO of Ag Central Co-op. “Of course, the roasting operation is what it’s all about. But we are doing some other things, such as processing corn. If we’re not doing beans, we can take corn in and roll it or hammer mill it, then send it to our feed mill for use in our own feed mill.” While this project is specialized for this co-op, Superior can build a customized facility for any need with precision and durability. “I think the durability, the strength, the craftsmanship, we certainly want our facility to last a long time. And that’s

what we looked at when choosing our structures,” says Walker. “This facility has ﬂexibility beyond what most other facilities have,” says Larry Gibson, Superior dealer representative. The Ag Central facility is a one-ofa-kind operation for miles around, giving customers services they both need and appreciate. “They can intake grain from the local farmers, they can bring beans, corn, wheat,” says Coffee. “At the same time, they can also grind and hammer mill material out that’ll give them a ﬁnished product that they can load out for feed application. And in this particular area that’s becoming very, very popular.” Superior Grain Equipment is a family-owned and operated company. Visit their website at www.superiorbins.com

COMMENTARY

President knows we need trade for agriculture By Val Wagner Special to Agweek It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, getting the chance to be only five rows away from a sitting president giving an address to one of the most influential farm organizations in our country. I was lucky enough to be able to witness the address to the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Nashville, and it did not disappoint. To begin, I will admit that I had some reservations as to what President Donald Trump’s speech would all entail. As a non-partisan organization, the AFBF does tend to line its mission and values more closely with the right, but we have members on both sides of the aisle. And a lot of the comments made could easily be considered bipartisan. For instance, one moment that stands out as exceptionally poignant was when President Trump reiterated his insistence on showing respect

After speaking at American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Nashville, Tenn., on Jan. 8, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders intended to help expand rural broadband. for our flag and the national anthem. As an organization that begins every meeting with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, it’s easy to see that we can appreciate the concern that the president has for the lack of respect

that has been shown to these symbols of our country. As a farmer and rancher in the state of North Dakota, one of the best moments of the afternoon were the comments that President Trump made regarding trade agreements and the North American Free Trade Agreement. The farm economy and its rebound for our country relies on the ability for our commodities to have fair and liberal trade agreements across the world. When President Trump first announced that he was going to eliminate NAFTA with no replacement or plan in place to replace the agreement, there was a lot of speculation as to the impact such a move would have on rural America. Although I appreciate the president’s concern as to ensuring that we have equal trade agreements that properly value our products, it is essential that we have fair trade agreements that allow for commodities to account for differences in qual-

ity, quantity and production methods when it comes to value of a product, as well as its ability to be traded. President Trump announced during his address that he will be working to ensure that NAFTA is salvaged, with the changes made that make the agreement a better plan for all involved. By working through organizations, such as Farm Bureau, President Trump has been briefed on the importance of the provisions that NAFTA provided to our rural areas. He seems to understand the seriousness of these agreements in regards to the success that we need to see on our farms in order to remain in business. No matter what side of the aisle that you may be on, I believe that most can agree that trade agreements are essential for a recovery of the farm economy. In order for our family farms to remain, we need to be able to compete in the world marketplace. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for these agreements.

NATIONAL NEWS

Farm Town Strong effort involves reducing stigma, increasing help for opiate addiction By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer NASHVILLE — If a rancher gets plowed over by a cow and ends up in the hospital, people come to help fix fence. If a farmer learns he has cancer, a neighbor will come combine his grain. But when someone in a rural area is struggling with addiction, that response may not come. And that’s something National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson and American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall would like to see change, particularly in the case of opioid addiction. “If someone is hurt, the whole community turns out to help them,” Johnson said. “This issue needs to be viewed as ‘someone is hurt,’ not something folks need to be ashamed of.” Johnson and Duvall, along with Anne Hazlett, assistant to the secretary for Rural Development at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, spoke on a panel entitled Overcoming the Opioid Crisis Through Unity on Jan. 8 at the AFBF convention in Nashville. Though Farm Bureau and Farmers Union often are viewed as rivals — the country’s two largest farm groups find themselves on opposite sides of many issues — the two have plenty of common ground, Duvall said. He explained that he and Johnson have become friends and have talked about

ways their organizations could team up for the good of agriculture. The idea to work together to confront the opioid epidemic came from Johnson, Duvall said. “It was his idea. His organization brought it,” Duvall said. The two groups commissioned a survey to learn about the impacts of opioid addiction on agriculture and rural communities. The survey showed that impacts are widespread, including 75 percent of farmers and farm workers surveyed who say they have been personally impacted, and awareness that opioid addiction hits rural areas harder than urban ones remains low. “I spent most of my life on the farm. I kind of understand how this impression is created,” Johnson said. “This impression that somehow it’s the cities that are worse off, that it’s an urban problem.” Hazlett discussed some of the reasons opioid addiction is hitting rural areas particularly hard: Manual labor increases the risk of injuries that lead to opiate prescriptions; living in rural areas tends to lead to geographic isolation; limited law enforcement resources can allow the problem to fester; and a lack of behavioral and mental health resources means few people have help close at hand when they have a problem. Duvall said one of the challenges is changing the mindset of

The panel spoke of people they knew, or knew of, who had been affected by opioid addiction. Moderator Sherry Saylor, chair of the AFB Women’s Leadership Committee, called the matter a “sobering and serious epidemic” as she recounted that she lost a “dear friend” to addiction. The man, a farmer, had suffered a back injury, and his addiction began with prescription medication. He died by suicide after struggling with his addiction, Saylor said. Two other young brothers in her town also died in connection with addiction. “This is a very personal, personal topic,” she said. Hazlett said the programs of USDA Rural Development are closely aligned with the effort Farm Bureau and Farmers Union have begun in fighting opioid addiction, including support for things like telemedicine. “This is a health issue,” she said. “But it’s also one of rural prosperity.” Johnson and Duvall indicated their groups will continue their joint effort, called Farm Town

Strong, which strives to find solutions to the problem and support for those in rural areas dealing with it. More information is available at https://farmtownstrong.org. They talked about the need to reduce stigma and to latch onto solutions that are working. Leveraging the social supports and local knowledge of their respective organizations seems likely to be part of the game plan. “What if each one of those (county) boards empowered themselves to be the loving neighbors they would be if someone got hurt by a cow?” Duvall pondered. “It likely started with that cow, Zippy,” Johnson said. “So let’s treat it the same way.” The two leaders also indicated the opioid addiction may only be the beginning of further partnership in the future for their groups. “I’m sure this is just one of many areas we can work together to make something very positive happen in our farmland,” Duvall said. Agweek is interested in telling the stories of those in rural areas affected by addictions to opioids and other substances.

Seeing the world

Nick Nelson / Agweek David Lunde, tax director for Griggs County, sits on the desk in his Cooperstown, N.D., office on Thursday, Jan. 4, 2018.

Young ND aggie returns home, sorts through options By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer COOPERSTOWN, N.D. — David Lunde and his father, Nathan, sit at the kitchen table in the house in which David grew up and is living again. They talk about cattle and careers, choices and options, their lives so far and their lives still to come. And they talk about David’s adventures far from home. “It’s his Viking blood (that prompted David’s travels),” Nathan says with a smile. David (pronounced duh-VEED) smiles, too, and says, “I enjoyed my time away. In a parallel world, I might still be working overseas now. But coming back — being the fifth generation of my family in agriculture and carrying on, or trying to carry on the tradition — seemed the right thing to do.” So, David, 24 at the time and with a heart for home, returned to Cooperstown in the fall of 2016 after study-

ing and working in Colorado, France and Africa. Now he’s holding several jobs and sorting through options that include eventually taking over the family’s 80-head cow-calf operation.

someone like David Lunde: A talented young person with an adventurous streak who leaves to see more of the world, then returns home, a little wiser and more experienced. And at least one other thing about David Lunde will be familiar to Upper Midwest agriculturalists: His parents still own and operate the family ranch, which doesn’t generate enough income to support another family unit. So, like many other young agriculturalists who return home to a similar situation, David holds several jobs to make money to support himself.

David, who enjoys the outdoors, attended the University of Denver, earning bachelor’s degrees in International Studies and French. The school’s strong reputation for international studies, as well as the Colorado landscape and climate, appealed to him. His education includes studies at the University of Strasbourg in France and the University of Tunis-Carthage, where he studied Arabic. Tunis is the capital of Tunisia in North Africa. After graduating from college in 2015, he moved to Zambia (a landlocked country in southern Africa) to work for an organization that provides scholarships to young students. He held the post for about a year. Then, in the summer of 2016, David visited Cooperstown and told his parents that he was interested in remaining permanently. “It (returning) had always been in the back of my mind. But I’d been afraid to say anything because it might get my parents’ hope up,” he says. Marybeth was surprised to learn that her son wanted to return, given his education and other interests. In retrospect, “I think I may have underestimated the depth of his love for the land and the tradition,” she says. But she supports his decision.

Here’s the list:

“I don’t know how it’s going to work out yet. But I’m sure this is where I should be,” David says. Most people involved in Upper Midwest ag know, or have known,

COVER STORY “He’s never been rash or impulsive. He’s a good, careful thinker, and I’ve always trusted his judgement,” she says. “And I want him to be happy.” Her only concern is, “I hope he doesn’t get bored. He has such an active mind,” Marybeth says. David began his new adult life in Cooperstown last fall. He’s living in his parents’ house, in his old room, but plans to have a place of his own in Cooperstown by the end of 2018.

Like parents, like son Nathan and Marybeth have had their own overseas adventures. Nathan, a fourth-generation Cooperstown agriculturalist, studied nursing at the University of North Dakota before spending many years working in health care in Chad. “It was my Viking blood,” Nathan, who’s of Scandinavian descent, says of his time overseas. While in Chad, he met Marybeth, a California native who was teaching in Africa. (No, she’s not of Scandinavian descent.) She and Nathan married in 1987 and continued to work in Chad until moving to Cooperstown in 1997, when Nathan began operating the family ranch. David spent the first few years of his life in Chad, a landlocked country in central Africa. Its official languages are Arabic and French.

The entire Lunde family, which includes David’s two older sisters, is fluent in French and often speak it to each other. “It’s our code language,” Nathan says with a chuckle.

him meet county residents, either for the first time or to reconnect after his time away. “Getting to know people in the county a little better is important to me, and I enjoy it,” he says.

‘Good touch with cattle’

Nathan and Marybeth still own the cattle, and Nathan, 60, plans to remain a full-time rancher for another three to five years. But they’re looking at ways they could pass on to ranch to David. Earlier this winter, Nathan, Marybeth and David attended a North Dakota State University Extension service farm transition workshop series. The sessions helped, but the Lundes continue to evaluate what they should do. “We’re taking our time, trying to think everything through and get it right,” Nathan says. David is using the same approach. Carefully and methodically, he’s investigating his options and developing a long-term strategy to survive and thrive in Cooperstown. Value-added agriculture, which can generate more income from the same amount of land, interests him. The tax equalization position — for which he says his college education wasn’t particularly useful — helps

David, who was active on the family ranch when he was young, “has a very good touch with cattle. He’s patient,” Nathan says. “Cattle be unpredictable, but I can always count on him to be a steady-eddie voice of calm.” David’s knack with cattle is obvious later. when he and his father show visitors their cattle in a heavily wooded pasture a stone’s throw from the Sheyenne River. David is comfortable and natural with cattle — as is his father. David nods when asked if not studying agriculture in college will work against him. He understands that some people will question his educational choices, given his later decision to return home. “Yes, I could’ve gone to NDSU for an ag econ degree. And, yes, not doing that has made some aspects (of coming back to ranch) more difficult,” he says. “But I’m very thankful the experiences I had in Colorado and overseas. The perspective I’ve gained — I wouldn’t trade that for anything.”

I don’t know how it’s going to work out yet. But I’m sure this is where I should be. DAVID LUNDE

By returning when he did, rather than in, say five to 10 years, David is able to learn from his father, his uncle and his grandfather, also David, all of whom live in the Cooperstown area and are knowledgeable agriculturalists. “There was a window of opportunity that would close if I waited too long (to come back),” the younger David says. Asked what he enjoys about agriculture and ranching, he says, “I like being outside. There’s a rhythm to the work, it moves in seasons. There’s variety, diversity.” And the challenge of being the fifth generation of his family appeals to him, too. “I couldn’t think of anything else that would be more meaningful to apply my time and energy to. I want to continue that and carry on the tradition, while at the same time making my own mark,” he says.

THE PINKE POST

Seek variety over balance or organization in life By Katie Pinke Agweek Publisher While checking out at Target recently, the checker asked, “Oh, do you have a new house?” “No,” I replied. “I’m just organizing at home a bit.” She said, “Last year, I moved into a new house and used all of these drawer organizers you’re buying as we moved in.” KATIE “Well I have lived in my house for 10 years PINKE and have messy, unorganized drawers, so hopefully this helps,” I said. My daughters laughed and one said, “It’s OK, Mom. Ten years ago, you were having babies and traveling all the time for work. You didn’t have time to organize drawers!” Organized drawers? Do I have time to tackle organization now? Is this a benchmark of an organized mom? I’m comfortable with having messes in my life. We all have them, whether we choose to share them or sit down and write a column about our messes.



In the different seasons of life, we learn to survive and keep going with messes around us. A decade ago, organized drawers were not a priority when I was working full-time, traveling two to four times a month for work, trying to be a breastfeeding baby’s mama, juggling an elementary son’s schedule, supporting my husband in his career change to grow his family business, teaching Sunday school, volunteering on boards and more. Truthfully, organized drawers still are not a priority in my life. Having less stuff and more variety in my life is a priority, though. Keeping my house in better order with less stuff gives me more variety. Less stuff means less to organize and less to put away and more time for life with my husband and kids and more time to pursue a hobby, a passion, an outdoor activity or travel. For years, I searched for organization and tried to find “balance” in my life. I read about it. I longed for it. I coveted other people’s balanced lives (or at least they looked that way from the outside). But I didn’t do enough for myself to know what I needed.

Anika Pinke, age 8, in her first week of 4-H archery practice. I turned 39 years old on January 6. I took some time to reflect on what my 30s taught me. I’m no longer seeking organization or balance in my life. I strive for and need variety in my life. Variety fulfills me. Balance is boring. This past week, I had meetings in downtown Fargo, which is 180 miles from my prairie home. I spent a night away from home and drove back in the afternoon ahead of the impending snowstorm. Along the stretch of Interstate 94, I thought about the variety in my work and personal life and mostly about the variety of experiences and people who teach and challenge me to grow and be more. By late afternoon I was home to pick up my daughters from an afterschool church activity, started supper

and went to a special meeting for the city council, which I serve on. After the meeting, I stopped at our small-town civic center to see our daughters at their 4-H archery practice, learning a lifelong skill that brings variety to their lives as children and can extend into adulthood. No matter what messes or organized drawers I do or don’t have in my life, variety trumps balance. Variety brings me new experiences, to new locations and, most of all, connects me to people. Someday, when my house is old, it still won’t be completely organized, but it will have housed a variety of people and shared experiences. Pinke is the publisher and general manager of Agweek.

TAIT AND KATE

The ‘rural revolution’ is on! By Annette Tait & Katy “Kate” Kassian Special to Agweek Small towns may ebb and grow, but we’re not going away. Sure, there’s plenty of trash talk — it really ticks us off to read articles that suggest rural people should just pack up their U-Hauls and flee small towns because they are “dysfunctional, downscale communities … that deserve to die,” as a National Review article suggested. Some articles are obviously urban dwellers’ rants, but others list numbers — declining and/or aging population, lack of local services, out-migration of young people. But, as rural folks well know, research and statistics are only part of the equation. In the real world, there are all sorts of other factors that influence how things work, and it’s important to keep ANNETTE them in context. Just TAIT because we don’t have a Starbucks on Main Street doesn’t mean we “lack local services,” and ours aren’t the only young people who “out-migrate” to go to college. The rural picture is skewed by the many ways there are to define KATY “rural.” Here’s a good KASSIAN example from a few years back, when a national public transit group was trying to come up with a definition of “rural” that worked for all of the small transit projects. A representative from Maryland stood up and explained how one small project in his state had only a population of 80,000 and a budget of one-point-something billion dollars. The North Dakota representative followed him: “With all due respect, and I understand your situation is difficult in relation to your state’s population and resources, but North Dakota has a county with a population of fewer than 800, and the entire state transit budget is less than $2 million.” Both were considered “rural” for their areas, even though their statis-



tics were as different as night and day. People who have never lived the Great Plains version of rural don’t understand that the “nothingness” of great stretches of Midwestern prairie are what keeps them fed and then some. The raw materials for so much of what we consume as a nation come from the wide-open spaces of the “fly-over” states: food, electricity — wind, hydroelectric, and coal-powered generation — and the thousands — yes, thousands — of products made with petroleum. Think medications, cosmetics, synthetic fibers, sports equipment, plastic bottles and containers, and paving materials, to name just a few. These industries and plenty more rely on the people and services in small towns. Rural towns provide housing, schools, churches, gas stations, repair shops, cafes, community centers, youth programs, sports and recreation, all within reasonable driving distance of farms, power plants and manufacturing centers. They may not offer the variety of choices found in “the city,” but they provide what’s needed for everyday life. Sure, there are ghost towns in every state. Towns with only a handful of folks and no services. But there are many more thriving small towns that function as hubs for those who live and work in the surrounding area. What small and rural towns lack in funds, they more than make up for in social capital. And that, friends, often gets more done than money alone can buy. People in small communities are finding ways to “make it happen.” They’re re-imagining themselves. Repurposing old buildings and attracting new residents — remote workers, retirees, millennials, new families, outdoorsy types, people seeking the quality of rural living. They are working together to make their communities better and more attractive for all. One size doesn’t fit all. Find out what people want in your town. Figure out how your community can make it happen. Then roll up your sleeves, work together and get it done, one step at a time.

KMOT returns By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer The annual KMOT Ag Expo — billed as the largest indoor ag show in the Upper Midwest — returns Jan. 24-26 to the North Dakota State Fair Center in Minot, N.D. Agweek will return to the show, too, this time with an expanded booth presence. The Ag Expo is expected to draw 30,000 to 40,000 people. Most will come from the Upper Midwest but the show draws from elsewhere, as well, including southern Canada, where farmers grow most of the same crops as their counterparts south of the border.

Doors open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. all three days. Admittance and parking are free. More than 350 exhibitors, covering more than 1,000 booths, will promote agricultural products and services, often the newest and most technically advanced. Tight profit margins cause most exhibitors to stress the importance of tools and equipment that can help farmers operate more efficiently and productively. Typically, attendees come for two of the show’s three days, most often the first and second or second and third days, organizers say. Securing hotel rooms in Minot during

the event once was a challenge, and attendees were strongly encouraged to make reservations well in advance. But a spate of new hotel construction several years ago reduced the need for early reservations. Attendees still are encouraged to reserve rooms, however. This year, Agweek editor Leah Larson and AgweekTV host Shawna Olson will attend and be available at the Agweek booth. Jonathan Knutson, Agweek reporter, will once again attend and cover the event. Look for his stories, including one written on the show’s first day, on www.agweek.com, on Agweek social media and in the Jan. 29 print issue.

Team Beef members training hard despite the cold By Amanda Radke Special to Agweek SOUTH SHORE, S.D. — Laurie Johnson can hear the crunch of gravel as she runs down the country road near her ranch in South Shore, S.D. Bundled up to ward off the cold, the puff of air create a cloud in front of her face as she tackles the quiet road after a busy day of calving, lambing, raising two toddler boys and working as the lamb and wool instructor at Minnesota West Community and Technical College. Despite her busy schedule, she prioritizes some quiet time each day to run and to work toward goals. In 2018, she plans to run in 30 races to celebrate her upcoming 30th birthday, but she won’t be doing it alone. She’ll join more than 100 members of Team Beef, a beef checkoff-funded program managed by the South Dakota Beef Industry Council. As an SDBIC board member, Johnson not only raises beef, but she gets to be involved in the decision-making process for how checkoff dollars are spent. “It is important to me to see where our checkoff money is going and how we are affecting people and their choice to include beef in their diet,” says Johnson. “Athletes are a completely new crowd that we are reaching through this program, and since its inception seven years ago, Team Beef has been very well received.” As an active mom, Johnson knows firsthand that beef not only fuels her workouts but provides her the energy to get through her workday and wrangle two very busy kids. And despite the cold, her training regimen doesn’t take a break. She’s got upcoming races to prepare for, and she’s constantly working to beat previous finishing times.

Laurie Johnson photo

Team Beef members Laurie Johnson and Shirley Thompson pose after a race with their kids proving that moms can be active, stay healthy with beef and spend time with their kids all at the same time. “There are several winter races coming up with many Team Beef runners participating,” Johnson says. “The winter months are also a great time for us to start our training and plan which races we want to compete in. Another aspect of Team Beef is completing a webinar, which has plenty of resources to help us prepare for any beef-related questions we might receive from athletes as we hit the race trail. The great thing about these online resources is we can also use them as a toolkit to visit classrooms and talk to students about beef in a healthy diet.” Team Beef members are required to complete the online webinar, and each runner, cyclist or triathlon competitor receives a Team Beef jersey to wear when they compete. With plenty of recipes, cooking demonstrations, nutritional facts, myth busters and other advocacy resources, Team Beef

Angela Anderson, of Vermillion, S.D., is an active Team Beef member, along with her husband, Bill, and their three children. members are healthy, active, knowledgeable and passionate about the beef industry. “In 2017, we had 140 Team Beef members, ranging from youth to adults, and by competing in race events, talking to the media, visiting classrooms and putting on cooking demonstrations, they reached an estimated 25,000 people in the state of South Dakota and an additional 50,000 across the country,” says Holly Swee, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist who serves as SDBIC director of nutrition and consumer information. A 2017 addition to Team Beef was the Prime Cut program, which incentiv-

ized members to earn points throughout the year by encouraging additional beef promotion activities. The top three members earned race reimbursements and additional Team Beef swag as a reward for their efforts. “We’ve had several elite members who have competed at the Boston Marathon over the years, and we’ve also had a female runner win the Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon,” Swee says. “It’s always great to have these top competitors promoting beef, but I think what’s most appealing about Team Beef is the everyday people who represent our industry at these events. We want to appeal to athletes of all levels and ages and discuss how beef is an important addition to a healthy diet and an effective training regimen.” Swee says Team Beef boasts a variety of members from many backgrounds, but they all have some sort of connection or passion for beef. And not only does Team Beef promote the industry to athletes, but it also helps assist members in their own personal health and wellness journeys. “It’s amazing to see the reactions you get when you’re running with your Team Beef jersey on,” Johnson says. “I think it’s a true testament when you see those Team Beef moms pushing a double or triple stroller with kids in tow. It definitely takes on a whole new meaning of the power of protein that beef has to offer!” Official Team Beef events will kick off in February with the Frostbite Four in Beresford, S.D., and the February Freeze in Rapid City, S.D. Look for Team Beef members at upcoming races near you, or consider joining a team by applying online through your state beef council.

What lessons do kids learn growing up on a farm? CRISTEN

CLARK Special to Agweek



There’s no doubt that kids who are raised on a ranch or a farm with livestock have a unique upbringing. From the accidental use of colorful language in preschool to an early education of “the birds and the bees,” livestock kids have many things in common. As a mom, I have to remind myself sometimes that I am raising special little creatures. I made a list of “excuses” as to why they behave out of the ordinary sometimes to help me cope. Maybe you can relate? 1. Occasionally, though our children are clean, they still smell like a farm animal. Often, on the way out of the house to attend an activity, our kids decide to look things over one more time, despite the fact they are clean. They go out to the barn to see if their favorite sow is farrowing or to double check that the waterer isn’t frozen over in the cattle lot. It happens — bear with us. They often decide that their chore coat or favorite chore boots are most comfortable to wear, and throw them on in the haste of getting out to the car. 2. They may use some colorful language on occasion. If you have grown up on a farm, there’s no secret that colorful language can pop up in stressful farm situations, i.e., waterers breaking, cows are out, etc. Kids hear this and typically use it in the same situations down the road, but it is not uncommon for those words or phrases to show up in other places, too, (like with my kids, at preschool). 3. Birds and the bees? They may learn it here. There’s no doubt about it, on any farm where there’s livestock, there’s a potential to have questions arise about anything that looks unfamiliar to kids who happen

to be visiting. This is especially true if visits occur during breeding times or birthing times on the farm. If this discussion comes up, we’ll do our best to avoid revealing too much, but our children may speak up and let their friends know what’s really going on (as both of my kids have done, in great amounts of detail, starting in their preschool years). 4. Sometimes my kids are sad, because no matter how hard they worked, an animal died. For various reasons, most of which are out of our control and despite our greatest efforts as farmers, animals die. Personally, this life lesson is the hardest for me to help my kids through. In most facets of their life, we teach our children that if they try hard, they will become more successful or be rewarded in some capacity. The lesson of “no matter how hard you try, nothing will work” is the most difficult one for most kids to understand. Consequently, it is the most complex life lesson to teach. On the other side of the pain, these experiences make our children better, and make them appreciate the hard work, dedication and sacrifice of others, farmers or not, even more. 5. They find joy in the small moments. Because our kids experience the circle of life from an early age, they tend to seek out the good in things, experiences and people. Farm life is admittedly tough, but along with the hard experiences come beautiful ones, too. In any 24-hour stretch on our farm, our kids are exposed to a roller coaster of emotions. Parenting through that is challenging some days, but worth it. When we experience tougher-than-usual days on the farm, a freshly baked giant chocolate chip cookie always helps soothe any heartaches. Editor’s note: Cristen Clark lives on an Iowa farm where her family raises corn, soybeans, pigs and cattle. She loves cooking and writing, and sharing contest winning recipes with people she knows.

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies By: Cristen Clark www.foodandswine.com Makes 12 XXL cookies

Ingredients: 1 cup butter (2 sticks) 1 cup brown sugar ½ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon molasses 2 eggs 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt *(or 1 teaspoon regular table salt) ¾ teaspoon baking soda ¾ teaspoon baking powder 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour ¾ bag of mini chocolate chips *(use full bag if you like plenty of chocolate) Granulated sugar for rolling cookies in Directions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter and sugars together until fluffy (1-2 minutes). Add molasses, eggs, vanilla and salt. Beat 30 seconds. In a separate bowl, whisk baking soda, baking powder and flour together. Add to wet mixture. Slowly beat to combine. Add chips, mix until combined. Scoop into 12 portions (I have an XL cookie scoop that is 6 oz.). Roll into balls, roll balls in granulated sugar. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet (bake four at a time), press to 1-inch thickness (so cookie looks like a disc), add 2 teaspoons more sugar on top of cookie for a ‘snowy’ look. Bake cookies for 15-17 minutes. Remove, let cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for three to four days at room temperature.

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower, instances reported 15.00 lower while steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate for most longtime weaned and preconditioned cattle. Some locations noted a few loads and packages still coming off the cow but selling with little or no discount. Livestock markets are getting back to normal schedules after the Holidays and many willing sellers were on hand to watch their livestock go through the sale ring this week. Auction receipts on this report totaled 372,300 this week; the largest auction volume reported since 2010. Total receipts this week totaled 530,300; almost 25,000 head short of week ending July 17, 2015. However, during that week in July 2015, 65 percent of the volume was attributed to Video and Internet sales. This week, over 70 percent was attributed to the auction receipts. Lackluster futures market late last week followed through into this week and contributed to the sharp losses occurring in the sale rings throughout the country. Compared to last Friday, CME cattle complex saw the Live Cattle Contracts 0.35 to 1.88 lower while the Feeder Cattle contracts were 0.68 higher to 2.27 lower. Some analysts were wondering if convergence between the January Feeder contract and CME Feeder Cattle Index would happen this month. The January Feeder Contract settled at 144.35 today and the CME Feeder Cattle Index reported yesterday at 146.80. Lower feedlot trade on Monday this week was abnormal, however some producers wanted to get out in front of the winter storms forecasted mid-week in the Plains states. Some feedlots had limited interest to procure large numbers of cattle with another round of bone-chilling temps headed their way. In the Southern Plains and Colorado the last reported market was on Monday with live cash trades at 120.00. In Nebraska and the Western Cornbelt the last reported market was on Tuesday with live cash trades at 120.00 and dressed trades were at 192.00. Packers didn’t take on much cash inventory this week as weekly cash volumes reported were as follows: TX/OK/NM - 7,280; KS - 18,354; NE 35,014; CO - 10,709 and IA/MN - 20,926. Packers did however try to make up some ground after the holidays and harvested 611,000 cattle this week; 2,000 more than the same week a year ago. Auction volume this week included 63 percent weighing over 600 lbs and 40 percent heifers.

Durum prices were up modestly this week. There is no major fundamental change that has occurred for the durum market to drive up prices. Simply some added buying interest added to prices a bit. Overall, the large global wheat supply and lack of demand for durum is keeping a lid on the market.

Canola prices followed the U.S. soybean oil market this week. Prices have not changed significantly and traders are awaiting the USDA reports for further direction. Demand for canola from the U.S. has been strong and could tighten up canola stocks in the USDA’s report as a result. However, with uncertainty surrounding the

ment, the strong trade could cool if any significant change to, or abandonment of, NAFTA occurs.

Pulse news has been scattered as field pea prices have been steady to start 2018. For lentils, reds have been pressured while greens have been firmer. The biggest global news is France’s sale of field peas to China. Other than that, the market has been quiet.

Mustard Mustard seed exports out of Canada were lower in the first part of the 2017-18 marketing year, below last year and the five-year average. Statistics Canada announced that 38,100 metric tons were exported from August to November, which is 7 percent below last year and 9 percent below the recent average pace.

AGWEEK/Monday, January 15, 2018 A17

MARKETS

Negative tone prior to report Wheat Kansas City spot basis has been improving recently. Thirteen percent higher protein improved 15 cents on Jan. 9. The recent cold weather has also given the market support over concerns of declining yields and potential winterkill. There is also speculation that winter wheat plantings could be lower than anticipated. All these factors are providing a firm undertone to the wheat complex. The latest Commodity Futures Trading Commission data showed funds decreased their net short position in the Chicago wheat contracts by 17,557 contracts to -128,178 short for the week ending Jan. 2. Kansas City contracts are currently net short -29,961, a reduction of 5,461. The average trade estimate on Kansas City winter wheat plantings is 22.327 million acres with the highest guess at 23.1 million acres and the lowest at 21.1 million. This compares to 23.426 million planted acres last year. All winter wheat planted acres, which includes soft red and white wheat, are estimated by trade to be 31.307 million with the high and low between 32 and 30.1 million acres. This would compare to 32.696 last year. The average trade guess on U.S. ending stocks for 2017-18 on all wheat is 959 million bushels with the range between 855 to 986 million bushels. This compares to 960 million in the December report. World ending stocks for 2017-18 are estimated at 268.26 million metric tons with a range of 265 to 271 million metric tons. U.S. Department of Agriculture’s December report estimated 268.42 million metric tons. Australia’s Bureau of Statistics released their estimate of 30.363 million metric tons for the 201617 crop. They are pretty notorious for late revisions, and this differs from USDA’s 33.5 million metric tons estimate. Keep in mind that this is last year’s crop as 2017-18 USDA estimates are 21.5 million metric tons with the challenging growing season that they encountered. So there is some head scratching going on in the trade as to the conflicting numbers from last year. For the week ending Jan 10, March contracts for Minneapolis wheat were up 7.25 cents at $6.34, up 3.5 cents at $4.3425 for Chicago wheat, and up 3 cents at $4.405 for Kansas City wheat.

Corn Corn futures started the week on a negative tone as SinoGrain, the Chinese state grain entity, announced it will start auctioning its corn stockpiles. This led to a 1.5 percent decline in Dalian (Chinese) corn futures and a 4 cent hit in U.S. corn futures in Jan. 8 trade. Dalian corn futures are at a two-year high due to a lack of quality corn.

feed mills and processors had been buying corn at a frantic pace ahead of the Chinese New Year. Corn bounced off the March $3.4675 contract low that it reached in Jan. 8 trade and once prior on Dec. 19. The good thing is open interest is increasing as traders view a contract low as a decent buy. For the week ending Jan. 10, March corn futures were down 2.25 cents at $3.49. The recent cold snap has caused natural gas prices to increase, which is cutting into U.S. ethanol plant profits. Ethanol production dropped sharply for the second straight week at 996,000 barrels per day. This was down 3.49 percent versus last week and down 5.05 percent versus last year. Total ethanol production for the week was 6.972 million barrels. Stocks as of Jan. 5 were 22.719 million barrels. This was up 0.44 percent versus last week and up 13.54 percent versus last year. Corn usage for last week’s production is estimated at 103.52 million bushels bringing cumulative corn usage for ethanol to 2.07 billion bushels. Crude oil futures gained $3 per barrel this week in its continuing uptrend. This is contributing to the continuing high price spread at the pump between E-85 and E-10. U.S. ending stocks estimates average 2.431 billion bushels with the high and low of 2.55 billion to 2.263 billion bushels. This compares to USDA’s December estimate of 2.437 billion bushels. World ending stocks for the 2017-18 average guess is 203.09 million metric tons with the high and low of 207 to 198.5 million metric tons. This compares to USDA’s December estimate of 204.08 million metric tons. South American production estimates are 94.13 million metric tons for Brazil and 41.5 million metric tons for Argentina. The high and low estimates for Argentina are very close, with Brazil showing a wide difference of opinion between 98.5 million metric tons on the high side and 86.7 million metric tons on the low side. There is concern arising out of dryness in South Africa. Although South Africa production is only around 12.5 million metric tons (similar to Canada), they use 11.7 million metric tons of that internally. Farmers have only planted 70 to 75 percent of their intended acres due to extremely dry conditions and the planting window is closing.

Soybeans It was a disappointing week for the grain markets. Soybeans were under pressure all week despite the USDA announcing almost daily fresh export sales. Soybeans are in a down trend on concerns of a negative January report. The trade is focused on the slow pace of U.S. exports that will up the pressure on the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate to trim 2017-18 U.S. soy exports. China’s soy imports are forecast to fall from 8 million metric tons in January to 6 million metric tons in February. This is down drastically from the record 9.5 million metric tons of China soybean imports in December. March soybeans dipped below the recent lows of $9.5475 and hit lows last seen the end of August. After slipping through this support, the next leg down could be $9.37 support set in the middle of August. CFTC data on Jan. 2 showed the funds heavy net short for the last three weeks, moving from net short 69,000 contracts to 86,000. For the week ending Jan. 10, March and July soybeans were down 15.75 cents. Speaking at the American Farm Bureau’s annual convention on Jan. 8th, U.S. President Donald Trump told farmers that he supports crop insurance, a change in his proposal from last year when he mentioned he would like to shrink subsidies.

Canola For the week ending Jan. 10, March canola futures in Winnipeg were down $5 Canadian at $493.60 Canadian per metric ton. The Canadian dollar was down .0009 to .8051. This brings the U.S. price to $18.03 per hundredweight. Velva, N.D., $17.94 per hundredweight, • February at $17.87. Enderlin, N.D., $18.52 per hundredweight, • February at $18.52. Hallock, Minn., $17.84 per hundredweight, • February at $17.88. • Fargo, N.D., $18.60 per hundredweight, February at $18.55.

Barley Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2.65, while malting barley received no quote. The Berthold, N.D., bid is $2.25, and CHS Southwest New Salem, N.D., bids were at $2.55.

Durum Cash bids for milling quality durum are $6.25 in Berthold and at $6 in Dickinson, N.D.

Sunflower Cash sunflower bids in Fargo were at $17.65. December at $17.60. For the week ending Jan. 10, soybean oil was down 31 cents at $33.45 on the March contract.
