Why Trump’s trade war alarms me

REGIONAL NEWS

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

There are several things that alarm or annoy me about President Donald Trump’s trade war. Here are the three most troublesome: First and foremost, I’m concerned for U.S. farmers and consumers worldwide.

The Trump tariffs have cut into U.S. ag exports and threaten to hurt consumers worldwide. Yes, as I’ve heard many times from some Agweek readers, other countries, especially China, are cheating. Yes, as I’ve heard many Agweek readers say, let’s be optimistic that things work out in the end.

But there’s no denying the economic pain that farmers and consumers are feeling already. If you think “Trade wars are good and easy to win” — if you think the Earth is flat and the center of the universe — you’re confident the pain won’t last long. If you think trade wars are bad and impossible to win, you’re as worried as I am.

The trade war annoys me because of the partisanship attached to it. Some people support it simply because President Trump launched it, while others oppose it for the same reason. These partisans don’t seem to care about facts or the issue itself; as far as I can tell, they’re merely using it a club to bash each other. Farmers and consumers deserve better; we need better.

My other big gripe with the trade war is the level of economic illiteracy it reveals.

Earlier this year, I wrote a column about the silliness of labeling salt as non-GMO; salt doesn’t have genes, so of course it hasn’t been genetically modified. That column lamented the low level of scientific literacy, or degree of scientific knowledge needed to make productive daily decisions, that many Americans possess.

Our collective economic literacy, or the degree of economic knowledge needed to make productive daily decisions, isn’t much better. The level of ignorance — and I stress that ignorance does not mean stupidity — is especially high about comparative advantage, a sort of economic Holy Grail.

A simple example: Country A and Country B both raise wheat and make bicycles. Country A is a lot better at growing wheat and a little better at making bikes. It has an absolute advantage in both wheat and bikes and has a comparative advantage in wheat.

(Compared to Country B, it’s better at raising wheat.)

Comparative advantage causes the two countries to specialize and increase efficiency. Country A focuses on wheat and Country B focuses on bikes, with the two countries trading bikes and wheat. Doing so allows them to produce more wheat and bikes combined than than they could alone. The higher production leads to lower prices, benefiting consumers in both countries.

Comparative advantage has a downside. In this hypothetical example, bicycle makers in Country A lose sales to imports from Country B, while wheat farmers in Country B lose sales to imports from Country A. So, yes, there are losers — wheat farmers in Country B and bike makers in Country A — in this example. But the gain for the winners — wheat farmers in Country A, bike makers in Country B and consumers in both countries — more than offset the pain.

Magnify this simple example a thousandfold, with multiple products and countries, and you begin to understand how comparative advantage affects the world in mostly positive ways.

Scientific and technological advancements often are credited with the huge, ongoing improvements in the everyday lives of people around the world. And, yes, those advancements are essential. But don’t overlook the importance of comparative advantage and the overall beneficial international trade it fosters.

I won’t argue with anybody who complains that some countries are cheating in international trade. But if you complain too long and too much — if you ignore or overlook the immense benefits of comparative advantage and international trade — your scientific illiteracy or political partisanship, or both, may be showing.

Maple River Grain & Agronomy photo A pile of soybeans awaits loading onto a train in Casselton, N.D. Maple River Grain & Agronomy posted this photo to Facebook with a post that said, “The famous Casselton Soybean pile will start being picked up next week. This year we hired an excavator with a custom grain loading bucket on it. If all goes well it should be off the ground before Thanksgiving. Fun fact: The pile is almost exactly the same size it was last year.”

Casselton soybean pile draws Senate race attention, but confusion abounds

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer

CASSELTON, N.D. — Terry Johnson wasn’t sure why the soybean pile outside Maple River Grain & Agronomy became a political issue. The pile, however, became a talking point in one of the most watched U.S. Senate races in the country, due to a debate comment and a flurry of social media posts.

The pile, Maple River’s CEO explained on Nov. 5, is a regular part of the elevator’s operations. Soybeans have been piled in the same spot for several years around harvest.

“You can pile fast and pick it up fast,” Johnson said. “It’s put out there with full intentions of picking it back up within a few months.”

Johnson said the process of loading the already-sold soybeans onto a train was scheduled to begin Nov. 5, unless the rain interfered. The entire pile should be loaded onto four trains by Thanksgiving.

Trade — and soybean trade in particular — was one of a number of big issues in the race between Heidi Heitkamp, the incumbent senator, and Kevin Cramer, the state’s

lone member of the House of Representatives. Cramer won big in the Nov. 6 election, taking 55 percent of the vote.

But during a lengthy back-and-forth on trade at their Oct. 26 debate, Heitkamp, a Democrat, mentioned a pile of soybeans.

“If I had my phone here, I’d show you a picture of a mound of soybeans on the ground in the rain in Casselton. There are no bins, Kevin. Those beans will be wrecked by that rain. They’ll be wrecked by exposure to the elements,” Heitkamp told Cramer, in response to Cramer’s assertion that farmers aren’t concerned about tariffs.

Cramer, a Republican, appeared ready to argue about the unshown picture but instead switched the conversation to trade negotiations.

On Oct. 27, Heitkamp’s Twitter account posted a video featuring the pile at Maple River Grain & Agronomy, along with the text, “This huge pile of unsold soybeans in Casselton is what the trade war looks like. Our farmers can’t sell their beans & it’s hurting our economy. But @kevincramer doesn’t care — he’s SOYBEAN PILE: Page 10

Co-op soon will get to inventory taxidermy, property Lawyer to judge: Hennessey knew ‘house of cards’ was coming down

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

ELBOW LAKE, Minn. — The defunct Ashby (Minn.) Farmers Elevator has formally asked a court for permission to enter the property of its former general manager, Jerry Hennessey, to start inventorying taxidermy and other property in the wake of a multi-million-dollar embezzlement accusation that toppled the company, Hennessey’s wife, Rebecca “Becky” Hennessey, already has agreed to allow the co-op access to inventory property. He said that may happen as early as Nov. 12.

Recovering value from the Hennesseys for co-op members is a process that could take months or more than a year, said Erik Ahlgren, the Fergus Falls, Minn., lawyer for the co-op.

At the Nov. 6 hearing, Eighth Circuit District Judge Amy Doll in Grant County said she would sign the order granting access to the Hennessy property.

Ahlgren told Doll the co-op has increased its estimate of unauthorized checks by $50,000 to $4.95 million before Hennessey fled the region.

‘House of cards’

value. If the value is higher, the co-op could then sell the property and reimburse the Hennesseys for the exempt amount.

The pending divorce could affect how the co-op pursues that value, Ahlgren acknowledged. Another curveball is that to the extent the co-op can prove that proceeds from the fraud directly went into the homestead, the co-op “may be able to invade that homestead exemption,” Ahlgren said.

Ahlgren is only active in the civil law matters of the case. He had forwarded the facts to local, state and federal law enforcement for possible criminal prosecution. He declined to comment on what he knows about the status of those cases.

“I believe the reason he fled is that there was absolutely no defense” for the checks, and that they were intentional theft, Ahlgren said. He said it may be possible that Hennessey will still attempt to sell assets.

INVENTORY, PROPERTY: Page 7 “I strongly suspect that he secreted away some cash,” Ahlgren said during the court hearing. “He knew that this was coming INQUIRE TODAY! down. He had first been given notice by 866-822-9145 CoBank (which had provided financing for superiorbins.com the co-op) in early June that they weren’t 42 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE going to extend their loan as of Sept. 1. So Design • Manufacturing • Construction he had at least that three months to realize that this whole house of cards was coming Ahlgren down, and I suspect he was trying to hide assets at that point,” but Ahlgren emphasized he had no proof of that.

Ahlgren declined to elaborate whether he knew why CoBank, a Denver-based part of the Farm Credit System, had called its loan. CoBank officials did not return e-mail requests for an interview on the case or their policies.

Hennessey remains “on the run,” Ahlgren said. He disappeared Sept. 10 and didn’t answer his company-owned cell phone. Other attempts to reach him also have failed.

Becky Hennessey, who filed for divorce Oct. 11, earlier agreed with the co-op request not to sell or transfer her interest in either “real property” (land and attached buildings) or “personal” property (including vehicles, guns and taxidermy).

Introducing the “We’ve all heard that he has a large taxidermy collection,” Ahlgren said. “Now we’ll be able to see what that consists of.”

NEW Block Buster Auger He noted that one of the checks Hennessey wrote on the US Patent 9,950,872 Foreign patents pending elevator in July 2011 “coded as corn” was for a western “BadBoy Buggy,” Ahlgren said. “I’m not exactly sure of what that is, but we’re about to find out,” he said.

Ueland named Outstanding Agricultural Leader BOZEMAN, Mont. — The late Ron Ueland of Butte, Mont., a Montana State University football legend and giant in Montana agriculture, has been named the university’s 2018 Outstanding Agricultural Leader.

Ueland was operations manager for Tri-River Chemical from 1975 to 1979 before joining ConAgra, where he served as general manager of its United Agri Products California Division for several years. He was executive vice president of ConAgra’s United Agri Product Companies from 1986 to 1997.

He and others worked to start the Montana Craft Malt plant in Butte, using only Montana-grown barley.

Ueland held several leadership roles in many ventures, including serving as president of WestBred LLC, a national agricultural research and development company. He was partner and owner in International Truck Body Co., Ueland Ranches Inc., and Ueland Land Development; and president of Northern Seed Co., which has developed commercial seed varieties specifically for Montana, among other things.

During his tenure at Northern Seed Co., Ueland worked closely with MSU College of Agriculture and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station faculty in communicating seed variety characteristics and desires from the industry.

Meehan named 2018 Communicator of the Year

FARGO, N.D. — Miranda Meehan, North Dakota State University Extension’s livestock environmental stewardship specialist, has been honored for her expertise and professionalism in delivering educational programs and information to the public with the 2018 Communicator of the Year award.

Meehan communicates with her target audiences in a number of ways, including

social media, websites, news releases, faceto-face consultations, presentations, publications and news media interviews.

She was very involved in the efforts to help producers cope with the 2017 drought, which lingered into 2018. That included co-chairing conference calls with agents, specialists and representatives from other agencies such as the North Dakota Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency and North Dakota Stockmen’s Association.

Meehan earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in animal and range science and a doctorate in natural resource management, all from NDSU. Meridian Seeds adds three employees DeTienne named Outstanding Lifetime 4-H Volunteer PARSHALL, N.D. — Barb DeTienne has been named North Dakota’s Outstanding Lifetime 4-H Volunteer for 2018.

DeTienne, a retired Cenex credit manager, has been a 4-H volunteer in Mountrail County for about 34 years. During that time, she served as a 4-H club leader, Mountrail County 4-H Council member, council president, livestock camp presenter and livestock fair announcer.

She and other parents restarted the Cloverleaf Cowboys 4-H Club in an area that lacked a 4-H club. She also was instrumental in starting the small-animal exchange program in which 4-H’ers can trade or buy poultry, goats and rabbits from local producers for 4-H projects. That has resulted in many 4-H’ers being able to acquire animals at a reasonable price.

DeTienne served as the Mountrail County 4-H Council president for six years and ensured the county’s 4-H program remained strong during the years the county lacked a North Dakota State University Extension 4-H agent. She also has provided funding for 4-H programs in Mountrail and neighboring counties.

CROP CONSULTANT CORNER

Harvest, finding the end and looking to spring

By Mark Huso

Special to Agweek

LAKOTA, N.D. — Harvest is still rolling for many farmers.

Mother Nature has hit the brakes more than a few times throughout October and into November during this fall harvest run.

In October, we dealt with two different snows that dropped up to 8 and 14 inches. When that happened there were many acres of soybeans, edible beans, sunflowers, and corn.

After the snow melted, we were granted with some favorable weather that let us get majority of the sunflowers, edible beans, soybeans, but not all, and put a nice dent into some of the corn acres.

Rain showers then came through dropping anywhere from 0.25 to 0.75 inches. However, when it rains this late, we don’t get the necessary warm temperatures to dry the soil and get us back in the field the next day. Instead, it delays harvest for another two to three days.

Now some fields are wet enough that we

are waiting for the soil to freeze so the combines can travel across them and we can finish the remaining few acres of soybeans and corn.

With harvest delays, fall fertilizer applications are also put on hold. For many farmers it is part of their fertilizer plant to get it applied in the fall, easing the workload in the spring time for other operations. Fall fertility has primarily been nitrogen applications in the form of anhydrous ammonia or urea for the next year’s cereal crop. Now, more farmers are applying phosphorus and potassium for the next year’s bean crop. Some farms now have a fertilizer tool that can apply nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur or other nutrients all banded in one application. Of course, the large fertilizer spreaders can also do that in a blended fertilizer application.

With the weather and harvest delays, fall fertilizer applications are only about 40 percent completed compared to a typical fall. The way the forecast looks, fertilizer applications are done for the fall.

That does cause some concern moving into the spring of 2019. However, the concept “bigger is better” is very true when it comes to applying fertilizer.

Farmers have invested on their own farms buying in large fertilizer spreaders.

Banding tillage tools are mostly 60 feet in width and pulling a large dry fertilizer cart that allows them many acres per fill. Fertilizer retailers also have invested and their spreaders are newer and larger. The tender trucks that fill them are no longer tandem axle trucks, rather they are now tractor-trailer tenders that allow more time in the field and less time transporting loads. The spring workload becomes much more challenging if we are dealt with a late start, but we can’t worry about that in November.

What we will worry about is what will be planted in 2019. We now have five to six months to plan for the next time our fertilizer applicators and planters will be back in the field.

Farmers are challenged with lower commodity prices influencing some of

the choices they will make into 2019. Do more with less, right?

As a crop consultant, it is my job to match their vision for improving their operation and add insight to the decisions they will be making. Plant more wheat? Add sunflowers to the rotation?

What is the situation with the edible ban market? Do we do more variable rate or less? Should we plant Liberty or Dicamba soybeans? Do we need to add new equipment? These are just a few of the questions farmers are asking in the early planning stages for next season.

Garlic Bacon Cream Smothered Pork Chops

By Cristen Clark

Special to Agweek

The holidays are approaching quickly, and it is the gift-giving time of year. For the home cook, there are many gadgets and appliances that make life in the kitchen easier and elevate the cooking experience. But I’ll take “texture” over “time-saving” when it comes to preparing meals in my house.

There’s a particular kitchen gadget that has had everyone’s attention and steadfast love for a couple of years now, and dare I say that I don’t understand why. New-age pressure cookers are all the rage, and most people I know have one. I didn’t want to commit to buying one myself, so I borrowed one from a friend.

I spent a good hour reviewing all of the safety protocols and learning how to use this life-enhancing device. After the first trial of hard boiled eggs that took the exact same amount of time as my usual method, I made some pork carnitas, a beef roast, some rice pudding and soup. Egg shells peeled like magic, and I had some time savings but was spared other benefits. No doubt (with the proper recipes) there is room for this device in a busy person’s cooking arsenal, but something was missing for me.

After the arduous cleaning process, I decided to put the unit away and make a decision. Did I need a new-fangled device capable of saving me time and energy in the kitchen? Did it hold a candle to all the excitement that preceded it?

I’m not sure it delivered on all fronts for me. The very basic nature of tossing things into a pot and walking away stole something from my daily life that I didn’t know I’d miss: cooking.

The process of cooking brings me joy. I like to try new recipes and develop layers of flavors and textures in dishes I create. This new-aged pressure cooker had a tendency to muddle flavors and generate less than desired textures in the final products of some recipes. In all, I think this is probably not the gadget for me, I’ll keep my good ol’ slow cooker and cast iron skillet with standard recipes I can create in about the same time as it’d take for the pressure cooker to come to pressure.

Here’s a quick stovetop recipe for mouth watering pork chops. Be sure to cook them to 145 degrees Fahrenheit as detected by a digital, instant-read thermometer (hello, now that’s a gift idea!) for tender, juicy chops. Don’t forget to allow your skillet to come up to medium-high temperature before searing the pork chops so they get a deliciously crisp outer crust.

Garlic Bacon Cream Smothered Pork Chops Ingredients: 6 strips bacon, chopped to ½-inch pieces 4 – 8 oz. center cut pork loin chops 1 tsp seasoned salt 1 tsp ground black pepper 8 oz package fresh mushrooms, sliced to ¼” thickness 4 garlic cloves, sliced 2 TBSP fresh basil, julienned (or 1 tsp dried basil leaves, crushed) 6 sprigs of fresh thyme, leaves stripped, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme leaves) 3 TBSP butter 1/2 tsp salt 2 TBSP sundried tomatoes, chopped, drained 3 TBSP all purpose flour 1 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions: In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and bacon is cooked.

Remove bacon to paper towel-lined plate.

Reserve bacon drippings in the skillet.

Season pork chops with seasoned salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium high and sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Remove pork chops to a plate and set aside.

To skillet, add sliced mushrooms and garlic.

Add butter. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently until mushrooms and garlic are tender. Add sundried tomatoes, stir well.

Sprinkle with fresh herbs. Cook on medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, stirring, until mushrooms soften and release juices. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour all over the mushrooms, and stir the flour in on medium heat until absorbed.

Add chicken broth, and raise the heat to

medium high or high to bring mixture to a boil, constantly stirring. Reduce heat to medium, and gently simmer for 1-2 minutes until mixture thickens slightly. Reduce heat to low. Add heavy cream. Stir well.

Return pork chops and bacon to skillet. Cook on low heat, covered, until the pork chops are cooked through to 145 degrees F on a digital, instant-read thermometer.

Garnish with additional fresh herbs, serve warm.

Makes 4 generous servings.

California approves more restrictions on cages in livestock production Proposition 12 passes with 61 percent of the vote

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

California voters have approved a statewide measure that would place greater restrictions on the use of cages in livestock production.

Proposition 12 passed with the support of 61 percent of state voters, according to the California secretary of state’s website. The measure received

4.1 million “yes” votes and 2.6 million “no” votes.

Passage of the measure means there will “be new minimum requirements on farmers to provide more space for egg-laying hens, breeding pigs and calves raised for veal. California businesses (will) be banned from selling eggs or uncooked pork or veal that came from animals housed in ways that did not meet these requirements,” according to information from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the California Legislature’s Nonpartisan Fiscal and Policy Advisor.

The Legislative Analyst’s Office estimated that

6 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

the state will spend up to $10 million annually to enforce the measure, with several million dollars lost annually in state income tax revenue from farm businesses.

Opponents, including the meat industry, said the measure will increase the cost of food.

Supporters, including the Humane Society of the United States, said the measure will improve animal welfare.

Social media allows me to stay connected with friends — several of whom ran for office during the past year. This past week, some were elected and some were not.

I’ve followed friends’ campaigns in Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota and North Dakota. On election night and the following day, I went to their campaign pages and personal social media accounts to see the results. I searched for news stories. From afar, I was proud of the election results, regardless of the outcome.

Whether they live in a city or rural area or work on a farm, in a smalltown business or in a corporate urban office, all had shared purpose. No, they didn’t share the same purpose, but they campaigned with purpose and determination to stand up for their values, drive policy and influence change. Right up until it was time to vote, they campaigned, tirelessly with selfless volunteers and family members alongside them.

Here’s to you, friends. Thank you for running for office. We need you. We need your voice. Our cities, counties, legislative districts, and Congress need your willingness to serve. Our country needs your passion and your purpose to represent the people, to be a voice that might not be heard otherwise.

Losing is hard. But after some reflection, downtime and evaluation, I hope my friends who ran and weren’t elected will run again. Maybe there’s a different office that better fits your skill set? Find out. Don’t stop now. It takes courage to run for office. You are courageous. Do it again.

If the timing isn’t right for another run at public office, cast a wider net.

Take someone who worked as a volunteer on your campaign or someone you see demonstrating leadership in your community to lunch and ask them to consider running in the future. If not them, who?

Two and half years ago, five of the six seats on our local city council were open. I felt a tug to run. I sought guidance from current and past community leaders. I learned I didn’t need anyone’s permission to run for public office, but I needed to know why I wanted to run and why the time was now. More than anything, I felt a need to serve and give back to my community. I was elected to a four-year term.

Since being elected, I’ve learned the closer you serve to the people, the more you hear from them. In a town of 1,000 people, public service is amplified. You’re always on call — and I love it. I care about and research topics and issues I would have never known or even known to care about if I hadn’t run and was willing to serve. I’m a better listener and a more engaged citizen because of my public service.

For those of you who didn’t pull out a win in recent elections, job well done and keep going. For those of you elated in victory, job well done and keep going. The real work begins. Engage with your constituents. Get to know them, their families and their professions. Encourage others to define their issues and run for office. This is America, and we need more strong, engaged, principled voices willing to not just take a stand in a small circle of friends or rant on Facebook but to run for office.

Thank you to my friends who ran for office this fall and encouraged me in my public service by their example. Thank you to my friends who spent any free time the past few months volunteering and working on campaigns they deeply cared about. I admire you. You are difference makers for our cities, counties, legislatures, Congress and country. Keep going. AG

INVENTORY, PROPERTY From Page 3

In the divorce filed Oct. 11 in Ottertail County, Becky Hennesssy said she didn’t know when the property was purchased jointly and estimated the value at $211,100, based on their property tax statement.

They also own property valued at $640,000 in Kanabec County.

Becky Hennessey did not return messages.

Her lawyer, Jeffrey Kuhn, Glenwood, Minn., did not immediately return messages.

Becky graduated from Barnesville (Minn.)

High School in 1979. Jerry graduated from the same school in 1980. The couple were married Oct. 17, 1981, in Barnesville.

Jerry worked for his brother-in-law, Tim Bolgrean, who was managing an elevator at Hoffman, Minn., before he started as manager at Ashby in 1988 or 1989.

Seeking support “There has been an irretrievable breakdown of my marriage relationship with (Jerry) and the marriage cannot be saved,” Becky writes in her divorce petition, saying the date that was

apparent was Sept. 10, 2018, the day Jerry left the region.

Jerry’s “whereabouts are unknown to Petitioner since Sept. 9, 2018.” She said she has “no source of income and is unable to liquidate assets due to (Jerry’s) unavailability.” She has “no means of supporting herself at this time,” according to the petition. She is requesting $3,500 per month for life. Becky said she wants to change her name to Rebecca Rae Bolgrean, her maiden name.

Becky thought Jerry’s monthly income was $7,000 per month during recent recent years of marriage, or $84,000 annually, although the form didn’t indicate gross or income after taxes. (Other sources indicate Hennessey earned more than $100,000 at the co-op elevator, although officials declined to confirm that.)

Becky indicated she doesn’t own a vehicle and didn’t know whether Jerry does. She said she didn’t know whether Jerry has an interest in any other business. She said she has no retirement accounts and has no pension. She said Jerry has retirement accounts and didn’t know if he had a pension.

Becky said the couple has some debt, including $27,000 Jerry owes on a Cabela’s credit card. AG

BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring easily won another four-year term in office.

Goehring, a Republican, received 68 percent of votes, according to unofficial results from the Nov. 6 election. Democratic challenger Jim Dotzenrod received 32 percent of votes. Dotzenrod won in only five counties, prevailing in Ransom, Richland, Rolette, Sargent and Sioux counties.

Goehring, 53, has served as agriculture commissioner since then-Gov. John Hoeven appointed him to the spot in 2009. He was elected in 2010 with 68 percent of the vote to Merle Boucher’s 32 percent and re-elected in 2014 with 57 percent of the vote to Ryan Taylor’s 43 percent.

Goehring also farms in the Bismarck area with his son.

The position of agriculture commissioner pays $108,656 per year. Along with running the state Department of Agriculture, the ag commissioner also sits on the state’s powerful Industrial Commission. AG

AGRI-PULSE

Who’s got the meat?

Regulation of new products is a question

By Sara Wyant Agri-Pulse

Some of you may remember Wendy’s popular advertising campaign – dating back to 1984 – when an elderly lady questioned the hamburger that arrived with a lot of bun and little meat, prompting her to ask: “Where’s the beef?”

Fast forward to today’s marketing environment and you could have a similar campaign asking, “What’s in the beef?” Or “Is it really beef?”

Some beef advocates don’t want to see plant-based or cell-cultured products that may taste and look like meat to be labeled as such. Earlier this year, the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association filed a petition, asking USDA to define “meat” and “beef” as animals that have been raised and slaughtered because they said some of the newer products coming on the market could be confusing.

There’s also the question of which federal agency is going to regulate these newer products.

Both USDA and the Food and Drug Administration share responsibility for inspecting products for food safety. In general, USDA inspects meat, poultry and egg products and FDA inspects all other products but sometimes it depends on the level of processing. For example, FDA inspects shelled eggs and USDA inspects products made from eggs such us liquid or frozen eggs.

SOYBEAN PILE From Page 2 committed to voting with his political party 100% of the time rather than standing up for ND.” Another video and post went up on Nov. 1, also showing the pile.

On Nov. 1, Maple River Grain & Agronomy posted a veiled retort on its Facebook page: “The famous Casselton Soybean pile will start being picked up next week. This year we hired an excavator with a custom grain loading bucket on it. If all goes well it should be off the ground before Thanksgiving. Fun fact: The pile is almost exactly the same size it was last year.”

By Nov. 2, Cramer’s campaign had sent out a news release to criticize Heitkamp.

However, David McGonigal, a spokesperson for Heitkamp’s campaign, said Heitkamp was not referencing the Maple River Grain soybean pile at the debate. Instead, she was referring to a number of soybean piles she had seen seen in person and in picture while working with Aaron Krauter, who works on ag issues for her Senate office. The pile she was talking about was at a farm, McGonigal said. Krauter confirmed that he and Heitkamp had seen numerous photos of soybean piles at farms.

Johnson stayed out of the partisan fight. Both he and McGonigal confirmed no one from Heitkamp’s campaign talked to anyone at Maple River Grain.

The soybeans in the pile, Johnson clarified, are in

good condition. The plan to pile and quickly move them was made about nine months earlier. He said elevators all over the country pile soybeans, saving interior storage for longer-term holds.

Johnson said Maple River Grain has been selling soybeans. Most of the time, he explained, the beans are purchased by grain brokers, so he doesn’t know where they’ll go.

“They may or may not be going to China. They may or may not be going to Argentina,” he said.

However, Johnson also made clear that the tariffs have not helped the soybean market, even if the tariffs did not lead to the Maple River Grain pile. Instead, the tariffs likely have led to the elevator handling fewer soybeans as farmers wait for improved prices.

“Tariffs have had a negative impact on the prices,” he said. “But farmers are putting their unsold soybeans at home.”

Johnson said the soybeans at Maple River Grain either have been sold or are being stored for farmers. He also said it’s possible that some elevators and farmers do have piles sitting outside because of the market situation.

“Some of the piles are there because elevators didn’t have the opportunity to move them,” he said.

But in Casselton, the big pile is about the same size as it was last year.

“This is nothing new for us. We do this every year,” Johnson said. AG

Soybean Seed: Smart Selection Increases Success While many farmers are ready to take a much-deserved break after this harvest season, some ag producers are already looking ahead to next year and making plans for the mix of crops and seed varieties they will pursue this spring in the hopes of increasing yields and profits. With a late, wet harvest this fall, seed quality is a concern and, according to North Dakota State University Agronomy Seed Farm Director Brian Otteson, picking the right soybean varieties for the next planting season is especially important.

“I would encourage growers to stay tuned and listen for what is coming out for springtime once the data is analyzed and new information becomes available,” Otteson explains. “There’s always new varieties coming out and growers need to do their research.”

With the less than ideal conditions this fall for harvesting, there are some concerns on what will be available to growers for seed options and quality. “There are a lot of options available, but seed supplies aren’t always predictable and I think seed quality is going to be an issue this year also with the wet fall,” Otteson says.

He recommends that with a potential shortage of some seed varieties, growers should do their research early this year.

“Research and book your seed selections

soon, especially if there is a limited supply of the seed to ensure you get what you want for next spring,” Otteson advises.

Working at the Agronomy Seed Farm at NDSU, Otteson is at the forefront of creating and evaluating new crop varieties that grown under eastern North Dakota growing conditions. These foundation seeds, as designated by the North Dakota State Seed Department, are the source of all other certified seed classes of public varieties and

10 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

establishes high-quality seed and crops for North Dakota producers.

With the data and analytics available from field tested seed, NDSU has introduced two new glyphosate tolerant soybean varieties.

Able to withstand agricultural herbicides that utilize glyphosate, these soybeans offer weed control, crop safety and increased yield potential.

“They have been very popular this year,” Otteson explains. “These are both early

varieties mostly intended for the northern regions of North Dakota. These varieties are available as foundation seed and also available at the county level as both registered and certified seed.” Otteson encourages growers interested in public varieties to check the North Dakota State Seed Department website for a list of the growers and the contact information.

Most data and information from seed variety trials will be available by midNovember with most of the information available online for growers to research and compare. This also allows growers to see information relevant to their specific growing area and conditions.

“Adapting new technology and releasing new varieties that are competitive in terms of their high yield and quality is important to the future of farming and crop production,” Otteson says. For more information on seed varieties and availability, Otteson recommends searching “NDSU Variety Trials” online.

AGRI-PULSE From Page 10

For months, it’s been especially unclear which agency would regulate cell-based meat, derived from animal cells, but a recent meeting seemed to bring agency leaders together.

In opening comments at a two-day meeting on the subject, Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue and FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb drew no lines in the sand and laid no claim to jurisdictional territory. Instead, the two leaders offered a more collaborative approach, and said comments offered during the meeting will help them get there.

“There’s been many cases where we’ve shared jurisdiction around regulation of products. I think this is going to be another one of those cases,” Gottlieb told reporters Tuesday. “Now, we just have to draw out those jurisdictional lines.”

The two agencies will certainly have plenty of comment to sift through as they draw those lines.

The joint regulatory approach was first suggested in a joint letter from Memphis

Meats and the North American Meat Institute. In a letter to the administration in August, they suggested FDA be charged with pre-market safety approval, and then oversight can be shifted to USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service once that safety is established. Perdue has previously said the two organizations “had it right” and that the joint approach suggested is “what we will work toward.”

Neither Perdue nor Gottlieb jumped at the opportunity to provide a timeline by which USDA and FDA want to have their regulatory structure settled, but Perdue offered sometime next year as an optimistic goal.

“I would think if we can get this done in 2019, I think that would be probably pretty fast for federal purposes,” he said.

While having both Perdue and Gottlieb on the record supporting a joint approach is noteworthy, it’s far from satisfactory for any side of the argument. If it’s agreed to allow pre-market approvals to be handled at FDA, the two agencies will still need to delineate just when the pre-market process will stop and when oversight would shift to USDA. Much like Perdue and Gottlieb’s comments, the industry commentary on both sides of

the debate offered familiar standpoints from a variety of organizations.

Mark Dopp, general counsel and senior vice president of regulatory and scientific affairs for the North American Meat Institute, pushed for USDA oversight of the products – which proponents argue would submit the cultured products to the same rigor and frequency of inspection as traditional protein – and sought to sell that point from a perspective of consumer confidence.

“Why do those who oppose FSIS inspection wish to deny consumers the confidence that comes from knowing cell-based meat products, a product category in its infancy, are subject to daily inspection rather than inspection once every three to five years?” he asked.

Jennifer Houston, president-elect of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, also said USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service asserting primary jurisdiction is “imperative,” echoing similar viewpoints from speakers from the National Pork Producers Council and National Chicken Council.

Where there was some call on the part of cultured meat companies to push toward FDA oversight, the Good Food Institute and

Memphis Meats both noted the necessary role for FDA and USDA in their comments.

While there’s still a number of things up in the air, Perdue and Gottlieb were not shy - stating they felt good about where the process stands. In particular, they are grateful for the chance to get ahead of a technology with a regulatory framework rather than having to adjust on the fly.

“I think this is one of those unique examples where we’re contemplating all of these things really early in the process, really in advance of the products even being available,” Gottlieb said. “That’s going to, I think, help the innovation take root and provide really clear guidance to the manufacturers, and I think it should accelerate the innovation.”

“I think the regulatory framework needs to be there to provide guidance for our entrepreneurs and innovators to work toward,” Perdue added. “We will be moving posthaste after this meeting to more clearly define that.”

COVER STORY Photos by Jenny Schlecht/Agweek The health of the soil has been a focus for a quarter century at Brown’s Ranch. Brown’s Ranch moved to no-till farming 25 years ago and has since focused on holistic management and regenerative agriculture.

On the cover: Paul Brown, left, and his father, Gabe Brown, run Brown’s Ranch on holistic principles. Paul’s venture, Nourished by Nature, markets pasture-raised beef, lamb, pork and eggs to health conscious consumers.

Brown’s Ranch focuses on soil health while diversifying operation

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer

BISMARCK, N.D. — Not many North Dakota ranches have 1,000 chickens roaming free. Not many North Dakota ranches have cattle, sheep and pigs, all on pasture. And not many North Dakota ranches have added vegetables, fruits and nuts to their offerings, along with livestock and grain.

But Brown’s Ranch has never claimed to be conventional.

“Other farmers and ranchers laugh at us because we look different,” Gabe Brown says as he pilots a Polaris Ranger around a grove of recently planted fruit trees. “We laugh at them because they all look the same.”

Gabe and his son Paul run Brown’s Ranch outside Bismarck. It’s been a quarter century since Gabe decided to go no-till at the advice of a friend. The decision has helped form the identity of the ranch and has provided ways to stay profitable even in tough times.

Gabe, 57, has mostly retired from farming.

He still helps out and provides assistance and advice. But he’s mostly handed the keys of the operation to Paul. Under the younger Brown’s direction, Brown’s Ranch has moved more into livestock and direct marketing to consumers, setting a course for the future they hope can continue even if North Dakota’s capital city continues to grow around them.

A move toward soil health Gabe and his wife, Shelly, started farming with Shelly’s parents in 1983, then bought the farm in 1991. They farmed conventionally and paid high input costs. The Natural Resource Conservation Service did a water infiltration study and found that the land could take in only half an inch of rain per hour. The rest would run off.

A friend of Gabe’s suggested he go to no-till farming. Sell your tillage equipment so you’re not tempted to use it, the friend said.

12 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

“I actually had to do it in order to afford the no-till drill,” Gabe says.

The Browns saw improvement in the soil structure, and with lower input costs, they were able to hold onto more profits. Now the NRCS has found that the land can take in an inch of water in 9 seconds, and a second inch 16 seconds after that, for 2 inches in 25 seconds.

In arid central North Dakota, that helps keep Brown’s Ranch resistant to drought. The soil

also has gone from less than 2 percent organic matter to more than 5 percent.

“Every drop of rain that falls on our operation, it will infiltrate into the soil, and then because our organic matter levels have increased, it’s able to be stored there,” Gabe explains.

The fields haven’t been tilled since 1993, haven’t had fungicide or pesticide since before 2000 and haven’t had synthetic fertilizer since ‘07. Herbicide is used sparingly but as needed.

COVER STORY Gabe lists close to a dozen crops in the rotation. An apiary provides bees. They grow and sell vegetables, and a few years ago planted fruit and nut trees. They run cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens.

“So we’re a little bit diverse,” Gabe says.

The Browns run every decision they make through the five principles of a healthy soil ecosystem: ► Has the land been disturbed through mechanical or chemical means? ► Is there “armor” or residue on the soil surface to protect from erosion or evaporation? ► Is there a diversity of species? ► Is there a living root as long as possible throughout the year? ► Have animals been integrated onto the land?

Gabe, who wears a baseball cap embroidered with the words “In Soil We Trust,” doesn’t just use the five principles on his farm; he spends much of his time traveling the country and teaching them to other farmers and ranchers.

He, along with soil health experts Ray Archuleta, David Brandt and Allen Williams, have formed Soil Health Consultants LLC. The enterprise puts on three-day seminars where they discuss soil health and advise producers.

Gabe advises producers to keep an open mind, a lesson that has come in handy as he passes the reins to Paul, 31.

A move toward livestock integration Gabe and Shelly knew for years that Paul wanted to come back to Brown’s Ranch.

They placed the 1,400 acres they own into an income-earning living trust. Paul is the benefi-

ciary of the trust, and Gabe and Shelly generate income from it.

Leaving the farm to Paul isn’t just a move for the future; Gabe says Paul has free rein to do what he wants on the operation now.

That got its first test when Paul still was in college. Paul called Gabe and pointed out that while his father preached diversity, Brown’s Ranch only had cattle. Paul said he wanted to branch out, with chicken, sheep and pigs.

“What could I say?” Gabe shrugs. “It only made sense.”

Paul came back from North Dakota State University with a “head full of new ideas,” he says. “Thankfully he allowed me to try almost all of them.”

In 2010, Paul bought 100 laying hens and sold eggs in the parking lot of a local vegetable community-supported agriculture venture. He bought sheep a year later and pigs a year after that. In 2013, he started Nourished by Nature, a business that directly markets the products from Brown’s Ranch to consumers.

“I realized we were raising a product on our place that I felt was needed in this area and people were seeking out,” he says.

Nourished by Nature is sold at the Bis-Man Community Food Cooperative in Bismarck and Prairie Roots Food Co-op in Fargo, and also is sold directly to customers at https://nourishedbynature.us. Paul says their customers tend toward health-conscious people who want to know where their food comes from. Many are young mothers concerned about what their children eat.

“One thing that we like to do is have an open-door policy where anyone can come out,” Paul says. “They just need to give me a

call, and if they want to come and see how their food is raised, then we’ll gladly show them around.”

The direct marketing hasn’t just provided a wanted product to the community but also has given another way to make money.

“It’s allowed us to bring another family onto the operation,” Gabe says.

He points out that farmers usually only get about 14 cents for every dollar spent on food.

Direct marketing allows them to bring in a little more.

“Call me greedy if you want, but I want more of that dollar,” he says.

The Browns feel some constraints from the ever-growing city next door. The ranch falls within the extraterritorial zone of Bismarck, which means that while it’s not in city limits, the city has some say in its future. Paul says he jokes that “we’re going to have the coolest city

park.” But he isn’t bitter about the changes, considering it instead a way to find more customers.

The Browns farm about 5,000 acres in all.

Paul says they haven’t lost any rented land to development yet, but they know it could happen.

He wants to make the operation viable, even if all that is left someday is the owned acres.

Paul wants to continue in his father’s footsteps, managing the various enterprises of the ranch synergistically. He does some speaking on soil health, like his father, but prefers to stay on the ranch.

Gabe is supportive of whatever direction Paul takes the land. With Paul’s enjoyment of livestock, they’ve reduced their acres in crop rotation and increased the acres planted to perennials for grazing.

“This will be in production ag for as long as Paul wants it to be,” Gabe says. “He’s going to take it much further than I ever could.” AG

Cattle market outlook optimistic for rest of 2018 into early 2019

By Michelle Rook AgweekTV Anchor

The cattle market has held up surprisingly well this year in the face of big supplies and folks in cattle country remain optimistic for fourth quarter. In fact, fed cattle prices have beaten analyst projections.

“They thought we were going to go subone dollar like we did a year ago in October now, but we stayed in there $108 or $110 and that’s a good thing and that keeps people current,” Quinn, S.D., cattle producer Myron Williams says.

Yearling prices also have been running above 2017.

Kent Fjeldheim is a cattle producer and works at Herreid (S.D.) Livestock Auction.

He says yearling prices have been surprisingly strong and are at a level cattle producers are making some money. “A flat nine weight steer, you know, pushing up to $158 to $160 and the eight weights, you know, kind of in the $165 to $168 range and

the 10 weights are sure bringing in the low to mid-$150 range,” he says.

Calf prices are generally steady with 2017, but there are some higher quality calves running even a bit stronger.

“In some cases on the yearlings, $10 higher, $10 a hundred higher. On the calves maybe $5,” according to Keith Eichler with Eichler Livestock Marketing of Aberdeen, S.D. One of the fundamental factors holding up the cattle market has been strong demand, which has been reflected in higher boxed beef prices. “People are spending money,” Williams says. “It’s hard to believe with the amount of issues we’ve had with weather, I mean hurricanes, flooding and yet the boxes stay moving and that’s a good thing.”

Exports have also been running at record levels. “Our exports are up good, Eichler says. “I’m amazed at that and I don’t think people understand that they’re

selling a lot of prime meat and high choice meat to export.”

The other plus is producers are moving through the largest cattle numbers. Williams even questions if the big supply that was predicted and projected in USDA’s Cattle on Feed reports ever materialized. “You know, we’ve been still waiting for this big wall of cattle and somehow we’ve stayed current,” he says.

Market experts also say more cows are being slaughtered, and it isn’t being forced by drought conditions like it was in 2017.

“This summer, I mean, you’d see 500, 600, 700, up to 1,000 head coming to the sale on a weekly basis, at each sale barn in some cases,” Eichler says.

That combined with softer heifer prices is one indication the cattle herd is starting to contract. Steve Hellwig is a co-owner of Hub City Livestock in Aberdeen. He says, “It looks like the heifer calves are probably a little undervalued. The simple fact is, the breeding deal, we’re not retaining heifers.”

The one caution is cheap corn and the price premium in deferred live cattle futures may lead producers to feed cattle heavier. That is a concern of Joe Vetter at Herreid Livestock. “Our biggest enemy right now is probably the cheap feed. And we’re probably going to feed them too long again and too many cows are going to be put on feed,” he says.

However, market experts remain optimistic about prices the rest of 2018 and into the first quarter of 2019, and the deferred live cattle futures are reflecting that. Hellwig says, “I still have hope. ...

I think December at $118, $120 probably is a good value. I wouldn’t sell it there.”

Brad Otte, co-owner of Martin Livestock in Martin agrees. “I wouldn’t be too surprised that the fat cattle market could improve a little bit and I hope that does happen because we sure need to get some profit back into the feeding end of it,” he says. AG

Economist that called US-China trade war sees deal in 2019

By Lillian Chen

Washington Post

An economist who accurately predicted the rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China now sees a likely resolution of the dispute next year.

A trade deal may be reached at some point in 2019 as tariffs will start to hurt the U.S., Danske Bank chief analyst and China economist Allan von Mehren wrote in a report last week, just before President Donald Trump tweeted that discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping are “moving along nicely.”

Following the tweet, the strategist now sees a 60 percent chance of a positive outcome from a planned Trump-Xi meeting at the Group of 20 summit in Argentina from Nov. 30-Dec. 1, up from 50 percent earlier, he said in an email response to questions on Thursday, Nov. 1. A positive outcome would mean “a clear framework for negotiation with a list of demands and a plan to go work on them one by one.”

Tensions may yet worsen before a deal can be reached, as Trump is likely to expand U.S. tariffs against Chinese imports, Mehren said. The U.S. is preparing to announce by early December tariffs on all remaining imports from China if talks at the G-20

meeting fail to ease the trade war, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

“Trump’s goal is a deal. Tariffs are just a weapon,” Mehren said. “The tariffs and Chinese retaliation will also hurt the U.S. economy, so it is not sustainable.”

Copenhagen-based Mehren said in a December 2017 report that the risk of a tit-for-tat trade conflict over the coming year had increased and that the U.S. may take action in areas such as intellectual property rights, aluminum and steel, triggering retaliation by China. Since then, the U.S. has levied tariffs on $250 billion of imported Chinese goods. An escalation of the trade war has driven the yuan to its weakest level against the dollar in a decade and led to losses of nearly 20 percent in the Shanghai Composite Index.

Barriers to a possible trade deal remain as Beijing will continue to push ahead with its Made in China 2025 plan, the state-driven strategy to boost China’s high tech industries, according to Mehren. Still, Trump may be compelled to strike a deal if tensions start to hurt the world’s largest economy and U.S. companies are sidelined in China, he said.

Mehren’s prediction of a positive outcome from the Trump-Xi meeting this month is more optimistic

than other policy watchers. BNY Mellon strategist Lale Akoner said last week the summit won’t resolve any major trade issues. George Magnus, an associate at the University of Oxford China Centre in U.K. and former chief economist at UBS, said in a series of tweets that markets shouldn’t expect too much from the meeting.

Mehren said he doesn’t rule out Trump trying to

talk up markets before the mid-term elections on Tuesday and cautioned that time is needed for the U.S. and China to reach an agreement.

“A ceasefire is no guarantee of a quick deal. A real deal will take time to negotiate and there are likely to be setbacks along the way,” Mehren said. “Volatility is likely to remain but, ultimately, we do expect a deal to be made at some point in 2019.” AG

A lot sobering’: Ag economist’s take on farm income

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

GRAND FORKS. N.D. — Net farm income is at lowest level in 10 years, reflecting poor crop prices, and some in agriculture are talking about being in an ag recession.

Byron Parman, an assistant professor and agricultural finance specialist at North Dakota State University, said the numbers and historical perspective tell otherwise.

“We not in some kind of ag recession right now This is just normal. This is what net cash income looks like in a normal period,” Parman said.

“That’s a little bit sobering, I understand. A lot sobering,” he said.

Parman spoke Oct. 29 in Grand Forks at the annual NDSU Extension ag lender conference. He and other Extension specialists gave their insights to ag bankers from northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota.

Annual net farm income has varied greatly since 1960. In some years, primarily the mid-1970s and from 2008 to 2013, farmers overall enjoyed

strong profits. But in most years since 1960s, farm income has not been high, Parman said.

Going to back to 1960, measured in 2011 dollars, net cash farm income has been below average in 38 years (including forecast 2018) and at or above average in just 21 years, Parman said.

“I would make the case further that these big spikes (in the mid 70s and 2008-13) have skewed our average a little bit high,” which makes the current level of farm profitability even more typical, Parman said.

With farm profitability returning to more-normal levels, area farmland values and rental rates — which have declined from their highs a few years ago — will be under continued downward pressure, he said.

Rising interest rates also will affect farmland values and rental rates, by making competing investments — such as certificates of deposit — more attractive, Parman said.

Agweek’s annual cover story on farmland rental-rate trends, to be published later this year, will take a longer look at the topic. AG

Hennessey’s friend, driver: ‘He was my hero’ Seasonal worker didn’t know former boss was escaping

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

FERGUS FALLS, Minn. — Tim Leonard was awoken early on Monday, Sept. 10, by a steady knocking on the front door of his house in north Fergus Falls.

“I yelled, ‘What the hell! It’s 4 a.m.’” Leonard recalls. His alarm turned to confusion when he heard the familiar voice of Jerry Hennessey, his revered friend and general manager of the Ashby Farmers Elevator Cooperative.

There was “trouble at the elevator,” Leonard remembers Hennessey explaining. “I need your help!”

Leonard said he had not spoken to Hennessey for more than a year prior to his old boss showing up at his door. For some reason, Hennessey hadn’t called Leonard to help on this year’s harvest. He hoped the early-morning visit was about a job.

Soon, Hennessey was heading into the night in co-op pickup truck. Shortly after, Leonard followed. After a 21-mile trip, they arrived at the familiar Ashby co-op offices, where Leonard expected to confront some grain spill or mechanical emergency.

Instead, Hennessey came out of the elevator offices carrying a backpack and a cardboard box. Reportedly a diabetic, he later told Leonard the box contained four months’ worth of insulin supplies.

The two got into Leonard’s car.

“Just drive,” Hennessey said.

‘I shouldn’t be telling you this’ Leonard declined to specify his route except to say that they didn’t go north. He said his old boss wanted to take back roads, telling him they needed to avoid places where there might be cameras.

At the time, Leonard said, he had no idea that Hennessey would be accused of stealing $4.9 million from the elevator.

Earlier reports in Agweek cited sources who had heard that an unspecified friend (Leonard) had dropped Hennessey off south of Alexandria, Minn. That’s technically so, but the two may have driven much farther south.

In an Oct. 25 interview at his home in Fergus Falls, Leonard declined to confirm reports that

Hennessey

he went as far as Iowa.

He acknowledged the drive went on “a long time.”

Leonard occasionally said “I shouldn’t be telling you this,” but continued anyway, describing his encounter with Hennessey.

‘He was my hero’

Leonard, 49, grew up on a farm near Alexandria, Minn., where he was listed among the graduating class of 1987, but said he graduated in 1988. Hennessey graduated from Barnesville High School in 1980.

Leonard worked “on-and-off for 25 years” for the Ashby elevator, almost always during the harvest. Hennessey managed the place since 1988 or 1989. It was gritty, dusty work, but Leonard took pride in it.

At the elevator, Hennessey was friendly, although Leonard said he didn’t spend much time with his boss.

Leonard said he occasionally helped with jobs around the Hennessey home in rural Dalton, Minn., between Fergus Falls and Ashby. On such occasions, they would often have a beer together. He couldn’t say whether the work was paid for by the elevator or Hennessey.

He was impressed with buildings on the homestead, populated with trophy taxidermy from all over the world. He admired Hennessey’s family — his children and his wife, Becky, who was always “super nice.”

Everything Hennessey touched “seemed to turn to gold,” Leonard said. His outward success became larger than life through the years, out of Leonard’s league.

“If I shoot a deer, catch a fish, what’s that?

He’s killed one of everything on the planet,” Leonard said.

But Leonard was happy for him.

“He was my hero,” he said.

‘Like seeing Superman go down’ During his southward flight, Hennessey had little to talk about. At one point, he explained to Leonard that there was “missing grain.” Hoping to be helpful, Leonard suggested Hennessey could “call up some farmers” and get some grain in to make up for what was missing.

Leonard slowly realized Hennessey was abandoning his family and told him he shouldn’t

18 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

leave them. Hennessey replied that Becky was going to be so angry that things were beyond repair.

“It’s like seeing Superman go down,” he said.

“It sucks.”

After an unspecified time on the road, the two exchanged some heated words. Leonard told Hennessey he needed to get back to Fergus Falls. He had family responsibilities to take care of and was working on finding a job.

“I told him to get out,” Leonard said. He didn’t ask where Hennessey was going, and didn’t want to know. He doesn’t want him to come back.

Hennessey — who allegedly diverted $4.9 million from the co-op for his own use and had just returned from a hunting trip to Australia — didn’t even pay for the gas.

Hennessey “apologized for it,” Leonard said, then acknowledged the man had betrayed him.

“He stiffed me,” he said.

Where is he?

Leonard said he doesn’t go to Ashby anymore.

He said he thinks it’s common knowledge at Ashby that he was the one who helped Hennessey disappear.

He’s heard that the Hennessey family is angry with him, but can’t explain exactly why.

“I didn’t do anything wrong,” he said.

When the news reports in Agweek and else-

where started describing allegations against Hennessey, Leonard was surprised and disappointed.

An elevator employee was calling around to Hennessey’s friends to see if anyone knew where the long-time general manager had gone. Leonard told his story.

Later, the Grant County Sheriff’s Department questioned him. The case was referred to the U.S. attorney’s office, and on Oct. 25, Leonard was questioned by a special investigator. The agent took his cellphone — at least temporarily.

Leonard said the phone records would confirm that he hadn’t talked to Hennessey at all or much for the entire previous year. He speculated the agents might be looking for what cell phone tower his phone connected to on the trip.

Before he and Hennessey parted, Leonard said Hennessey told him that when he got home to Fergus Falls, he should “throw my phone in a slough.” Leonard didn’t argue with him, but didn’t throw the phone away, either.

Leonard said “everyone asks” where he thinks Hennessey has gone, at one point joking that he could conjure his old hero from a back room in his house. Leonard said he has no clue, but nothing would surprise him.

Leonard acknowledged being “a little worried” about his friend, especially relating to his health.

“I just miss him and I hope he’s doing good,” Leonard said. AG

Multiple tools to get the job done

By Abbey Wick

NDSU Extension Soil Health Specialist

With soil health, it is rare that a single tool (or management approach) will help fully do the job. If we are looking to achieve on-farm goals, such as managing salinity, then using multiple tools or approaches is critical.

Think of it as a “system”.

With salinity, I often say, “if you manage the water, it will help you manage the salts.” Soluble salts move in water, so it’s when salts dissolve they become an issue and accumulate in specific parts of the field and at the surface. There are multiple ways to manage water (and I’m sure I’ll miss a few): surface ditching/cleaning out road ditches, reducing surface evaporation, leaching, moving water with plants (transpiration) and tiling/ drainage. These approaches are in a specific order because this is how I run through the tools in my head when I look at a field with salinity issues.

First, I look at how the surface water is managed. Is there appropriate ditching and is there compaction in the field that causes water to pond or run-off? I ask, can the farmer even ditch or drain, is it allowed? If I’m looking at salinity along the edge of the field, I look for water in the ditch and if it is upwelling into the field carrying salts. Managing surface water or getting water in the ditch to drain is the first step, or tool, that should be used if allowable.

Next, I look for tillage management or surface residue. Soluble salts move with water from deep in the soil profile that is being pulled toward the surface through evaporation. Residue can help reduce evaporation and keep the salts away from the surface. In other words: “Avoid tilling or ripping saline spots.” If nothing is growing on a saline spot, sometimes the crusting from the salts will help reduce evaporation and keep it from getting worse. So rather than tilling it, leave it be and direct seed into those areas with a more salt-tolerant cash crop or cover crop such as barley.

I also look at residue to see how effectively we are capturing snow to leach salts from the soil surface into the soil profile. Leaving standing corn stalks (no chopping head) and the root balls intact (yes, this means no-till) will help capture snow evenly across the field and also give water an avenue to move down root channels into the soil. Doesn’t have to be whole field, just has to be where you have salt issues.

Then I think about how we can move water through plant transpiration.

This is where getting something to grow, whether it’s a cash crop somewhat tolerant to salts, such as like small grains or cover crops, come into play. If leaving residue on the surface to reduce evaporation, it’s good to have a plant there to use or manage water to avoid wet fields.

After all that, I look at whether it would be feasible to install tile in the field. I’ve been asked before if I am against tiling and the answer is no. It is a tool in the toolbox and we have a couple studies ongoing where we are evaluating tiling and salinity. I do look at using tiling in high water table situations to intercept ground water carrying salts more so than to install it to leach salts. If you want to flush salts using tile, staking other tools like reducing tillage and using plants in addition to the tile will build soil structure and increase water movement into and through the soil.

These are the steps I go through in my head when evaluating a saline area or field. A similar thought process is used when converting a non-saline field to reduced tillage. There are so many ways to come up with the multiple management approaches that will work on each farm, but consider using multiple tools for a higher success rate in achieving goals. AG

Economist: Ethanol offers opportunity Production, exports growing

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

GRAND FORKS, N.D. — With so much attention on tariffs, harvest and the lapsed U.S. farm bill, you may not have heard a lot about corn ethanol recently. But the U.S. ethanol industry is alive and well, and offers promise, a biofuels specialist says.

“There are opportunities in ethanol,” said David Ripplinger, North Dakota State University Extension bioenergy specialist.

Ripplinger spoke Oct. 29 in Grand Forks at Extension’s annual ag lenders’ conference.

Ag bankers from northeast North Dakota and northwest Minnesota attended.

Ethanol production continues to accounts for about one third of the annual U.S. corn crop. But that doesn’t mean ethanol production is stagnant. Corn production is rising, reflecting higher yields, and etha-

nol production is growing along with it, Ripplinger said.

Among positive developments in the ethanol industry: ► U.S. corn ethanol exports reached a record 1.4 billion gallons in the 2016/2017 marketing year, according to the U.S. Grains Council.

“It’s really a young market,” Ripplinger said. “And it’s only likely to continue to grow.” ► U.S. ethanol production reached a record 15.8 billion gallons in 2017, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. ► The Trump administration has begun working on regulations to allow for the year-round sale of E15 (15 percent ethanol and 85 percent gasoline) fuel in the U.S. ► There’s growing doubt that China will be able to meet its goal of increasing ethanol use by 2020, which could create opportunities for U.S. ethanol. ► California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard offers opportunities for corn from North Dakota and other Midwest states.

20 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

China is the world’s largest motor vehicle market, so its fuel consumption is especially noteworthy. In September 2017, the Chinese government announced a nationwide mandate to sharply increase use of E10 fuel (gasoline containing 10 percent ethanol) by 2020.

So far, though, China “hasn’t done much to show they will be able to achieve” its E10 goal, Ripplinger said.

California carbon The Low Carbon Fuel Standard, or LCFS, seeks to encourage the use and production of “cleaner low-carbon fuels in California” and consequently “reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” according to the web site of the California Air Resources Board.

ECONOMIST: From Page 20

The LCFS has been in place for about five years, “but it’s really starting to take told and function,” most notably “sending incentives back to the supply chain, incenting refineries and corn farmers to grow their crops in certain ways,” Ripplinger said.

For instance, producers who raise corn with no-till farming practices for ethanol used in California might receive a premium, he said.

Ripplinger plans to put together a short educational program about the LCFS to help ag lenders, extension officials and corn farmers

learn more about opportunities from it.

More information on California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard: www.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/lcfs. htm.

On the downside for ethanol, the Trump administration has approved so-called “hardship waivers” in the Renewable Fuel Standards, leading to less ethanol blended with gasoline — and a reduction in the amount of corn used for ethanol.

It’s difficult to predict what ultimately will happen with U.S. policy on hardship waivers, Ripplinger said. AG

Feeder cattle uneven with those over 800 lbs steady to 2.00 higher; under 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves sold unevenly steady. Demand for feeder weight cattle very uneven this week and mainly depended on age. Especially 6 weight cattle, who were either too young for the feedyard or too big for new wheat. Typically, this time of year, buyers are looking for cattle 60+ days weaned. However, this year due to the wet and muddy conditions in many areas 120 days seemed to be the earmark for numbers of days weaned. Demand for heavier weight cattle and those that would finish in April was very good. At the St Joe Stockyards this week 148 head of 712 lb. fancy steers sold for 175.00 and 118 head of 850 lb steers that were fancy sold for 167.10. 700 lb. steers at Bassett Livestock Auction sold for 179.00. Calf demand improved some and moderate to good.

Discounts are still there for short weaned and un-weaned calves as warm days, cool nights and wet conditions remain in many areas of the country. Though nationwide auction numbers are down from last week, some auctions saw larger head counts as a few days of open weather dried pastures and dirt roads enough to get cattle loaded and hauled to market. The trucking shortage continues. Cattle buyers looking for trucks are having to compete with other industries that can afford to pay truckers more per mile.

Boxed beef prices moved higher with the Choice cut-out at 218.78 and Selects trading at 203.66. This was up 5.07 from last Friday.

Cash slaughter cattle prices finally making a move and higher.

Texas and Kansas selling 4.00-5.00 higher from 114.00-115.00 and dressed trade in Nebraska 6.00 higher at 180.00. Cattle futures failed to take the momentum from the bulls and continued to trade in a very volatile pattern. Evidence of feedyards being current showed this week as steer carcass weights came in at 894 lbs which is a 5 lb. drop from last week and last year. Wheat plantings in part of the wheat belt is coming in at 78 percent complete, which is 10 percent below a year ago. Winter wheat emergence is 68 percent and this though the same as last year is still 32 percent below normal.

Market looks past midterms to USDA estimates

Heading into midterm elections in the U.S., President Donald Trump tweeted about good talks with China’s president and suggested that an end to the months-long trade war could be close. This caused some price support ahead of Tuesday’s midterms, even with chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow stating that resolution was not close after all. Since that moment, there has not been any more news on the matter, suggesting that it was more of a political move to rally the rural farm base for the GOP. The market has been less concerned with the results of the elections and the House shifting to the Democrats than it has been about the U.S. Department of Agriculture report on supply and demand estimates. The one key thing that could come from the shift in power for the agriculture community is the potential passing of the farm bill. This has been held up in the House of Representatives with work requirements for food aid, but the head of the House Agriculture Committee said that they will look to move forward with a vote on the Senate bill that held fewer restrictions.

Thursday’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report did hold some interesting changes, including reduced yields for corn and soybeans, as well as global wheat stocks increasing on revised data from China.

In all, the report’s results were slightly more bullish than pre-report estimates, yet prices ended the day trading slightly lower.

Wheat Wheat markets pushed lower with overall commodity pressure. The U.S. Department of Agriculture showed increased global supplies, though the gain came from revised Chinese production data. Outside of China, stocks were smaller with reductions in the Middle East,

A22 Monday, November 12, 2018 / AGWEEK

Ukraine and Australia. The U.S. balance sheet changed very little, with only a small increase in feed demand. The winter wheat crop in the U.S. is 84 percent planted, with 70 percent emerged.

Conditions are not as good as expected given the large amounts of rain during October, with just 51 percent of the crop rated good or excellent. However, final production usually has no meaningful correlation to fall condition ratings, so the market is not concerned as long as the rest of the crop gets planted.

in Canada. Sales to the U.S. and Japan have slowed considerably, limiting support for prices.

Durum

Mustard seed

Durum markets were unchanged again this week. The WASDE report kept ending stocks for U.S. durum steady at 44 million bushels.

Supplies are not a concern, and the market has little to get excited about heading into winter.

Mustard seed markets have been mixed. Harvest is basically done in Canada, and demand remains decent for yellow and oriental mustard seed but a little softer for brown mustard seed.

Canola

The U.S. barley balance sheet was left unchanged in the November WASDE report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ending stocks held at 175 million bushels, a 12 bushel increase from the 2017-18 crop year.

Canola prices were pressured yet again this week. The market simply cannot hold a premium with pressure on the soybean complex, lower palm oil prices and the end of harvest

Peas and lentils Lentil demand has been weak, with the Canadian Grains Commission reporting a drop in September demand. Shipments fell to 33,600 metric tons in September from 67,500 metric tons a year ago and 69,100 metric tons in August. However, pea shipments were decent at 342,200 metric tons.

MARKETS

Can we really believe the numbers from China?

Wheat The wheat market traded choppy to sideways this week as numerous news items gave the bull camp and the bear camp ammunition.

Minneapolis December touched and backed off of $5.89 for the third time in the last two weeks but did manage to maintain $5.80. The Chicago and Kansas City markets acted in similar fashion with $5.10 to $5.13.

December resistance levels are holding firm but psychological support at the $5 levels are holding in Chicago.

Russia’s deputy ag minister reduced Russia’s all grain export prediction from 38 million to 39 million metric tons to 35 million metric tons.

A vast majority of this overall number is wheat. So roughly 32 million metric tons would be the wheat number. Current Russian exports for all grains are at 21.6 million metric tons, with wheat comprising 18 million metric tons. From these numbers alone, one would expect a slowdown in Russian exports for the second half of the season. However, another Russian official recanted this statement, saying that total exports would remain at 39 million metric tons with the wheat target at 35 million metric tons.

If the Russian disinformation wasn’t enough drama for the week, along came the Chinese. The monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report showed a large upward revision to world ending stocks. Global stocks increased 6.5 million metric tons to 266.71 million metric tons versus the average trade guess of 259.3 million metric tons and 260.2 million metric tons in the October report. The vast majority of this change was from significant revisions to Chinese wheat production for the years 2007-08 through 2017-18. Without the Chinese revision, world stocks outside of China would have decreased 0.9 million metric tons, mostly from reductions in Australia’s drought stricken crop.

The 2018-19 U.S. carryover stocks were reduced slightly to 949 million bushels versus expectations of 958 million bushels compared to 956 million bushels in the October report. U.S. farm gate prices are expected to be between $4.90 and $5.30 per bushel.

Weekly export sales totaled 661,200 metric tons (24.3 million bushels). This was above market expectations and the best number in six weeks. Total commitments of 506 million bushels are down 16 percent from a year ago. Weekly inspections totaled 12 million bushels for the week ending Nov. 1, which was slightly below expectations. Marketing year inspections total 329 million bushels, 22 percent lower than last year and well below USDA’s projected 14 percent increase.

Corn There is one question on the farmers’ minds for the U.S. Department of Agriculture: Are you really going to play China’s game in the middle of a trade war?

A day ahead of the USDA report, China magically found an extra 149 million metric tons (5.865 billion bushels!) of corn after they revised their data from the last 10 years. Really, China? Chalk it up to Chinese accounting methods? Sounds kind of convenient that this happens during the middle of a trade war, doesn’t it? They have had technical difficulties releasing their reports since the start of trade tensions, and then come out with this bombshell. The USDA decided to take China’s numbers and run with them, basically doubling world ending stocks for corn from last month.

In the October report, the USDA had world ending stocks at 159.4 million metric tons. On Nov. 8, they came out with 307.45 million metric tons, all but 1 million metric tons of this increase was Chinese stocks. China feeds almost all of their corn and soon will be turning some of their corn into ethanol domestically. The U.S. has hardly ever exported any corn to them in the past anyway, so why should their drastic increase affect our markets?

China is not a major exporter. They are not even in the top 35 countries globally if you go by 2017 corn exports by dollar amount. China also doesn’t import more than 5 million metric tons of corn per year total, most of which comes from Ukraine (which saw a record crop of 33.5 million metric tons this year). So in all reality, why should China’s corn numbers matter much?

If the trade is smart, they will focus their attention to U.S., South America and Ukraine corn numbers. It may take a couple days for the trade to digest this China stocks number and decide if they believe it or not, or if they even care. Without including China’s ending stocks, there is 100 million metric tons of global ending stocks in the world, which would be down from 100.85 million metric tons last month. This would also be 16 percent lower from a year ago. It looks like communist China is just trying to be a bully.

U.S. numbers were much more favorable as they lowered yields to 178.9 bushels per acre, down 1.8 bushels from the 180.7 bushels per acre in October. This is less than the 180 bushels per acre that was expected.

They also lowered U.S. ending stocks 77 million bushels to 1.736 billion bushels for the 2018-19 marketing year.

The USDA puts 2018 production at 14.626 billion bushels, down 152 million bushels from last month and below trade expectations. This would still be a record yield and the second largest production number in history. They kept harvested acres the same at 81.8 million acres.

The USDA lowered feed use again despite record hog numbers.

Their reasoning is a smaller crop (still near a record) and higher prices (???). They also lowered exports 25 million bushels due to increased competition from Ukraine, even though export sales commitments are up 16 percent from a year ago and export inspections are up 85 percent from last year at this time.

The USDA is losing accountability with a lot of farmers this year as they drastically raised stocks in the middle of the summer and then back pedal when the actual harvest numbers started to come in. This is a repeat of what they did with soybeans last year and what they are starting to do again this year. All this does is lower prices prematurely during the summer and then they try to fix it after the damage is done and after many farmers already had to sell their crop at harvest.

Resistance is $3.79, which we hit right after the Nov. 8 USDA report, which is a half-cent higher than the two-month high set on Oct. 15 of $3.785. Major resistance is then the four-month highs of $3.885.

Support for December corn is the month low of $3.625 and then is the contract low of $3.4245 set Sept. 18. Within 30 minutes of the USDA report release, corn bounced up to 10-week highs before bouncing down within a penny of the week’s lows but ultimately closed with a positive number. Corn was up 2.25 cents for the week ending Oct. 8.

Soybeans Soybean futures were under slight pressure this week in anticipation of a higher U.S. ending stocks number, and that is exactly what we got from the USDA report. Soybean futures dropped nearly 18 cents shortly after the USDA release, but fought their way back to close near unchanged for the day. Soybean yields did come in lower than expect-

ed, which helped keep soybean futures afloat. The USDA has soybean yields at 52.1 bushels per acre, 1 bushel lower than the October report yield of 53.1 bushels per acre. It was not a friendly overall report for soybeans as ending stocks continue to rise. It is no secret that this is largely due to the trade spat with China.

Exports were reduced by 160 million bushels, which was more than expected. From the November WASDE report, “The forecast protein consumption growth rate for China is reduced, which is reflected in the limited number of U.S. export sales this fall. Although sales to China are minimal, strong sales to other markets are expected to continue, which is likely to result in a larger share of U.S. exports in the second half of the marketing year.”

Production was reduced to 4.599 billion bushels versus pre-report estimates of 4.676 billion bushels and 91 million bushels less than the 4.690 billion bushels in the October report. Ending stock numbers for 2018-19 are expected to be 955 million bushels, 70 million bushels more than the 885 million bushels in the October report. This was 55 million bushels larger than pre-report estimates. World stocks for 2018-19 were raised 2.1 million metric tons from the October report to 112.1 million metric tons and larger than the pre-report estimates of 110.8 million metric tons.

The USDA kept harvested acres the same at 88.3 million acres. This could get lowered as 17 percent of soybeans were still waiting to be harvested in the U.S. as of Nov. 4, which was 6 percent behind average.

Harvest is once again slowed by rains and snows across the Midwest.

Weather has been favorable in Brazil as Ag Rural puts Brazil soybeans at 60 percent planted as of the first weekend in November versus 43 percent last year and 41 percent for the average. The crop planted so far is planted into good moisture and is off to a good start.

November soybeans support is the summer lows set July 16 of $8.2625 and then the new 10-year lows set on Sept. 18 of $8.1225. The psychological $8 mark and then $7.7625 lows set back in December 2008 are major support after that. Resistance is the new 1.5 month high set Oct. 15th of $8.92, and then major resistance is the end of July’s high of $9.2225. The 2018 Soybean Harvest Price Insurance Guarantee is set at $8.60. For the week ending Nov. 8, November soybeans were down 7.75 cents.

Canola For the week ending Nov. 8, January canola futures were down $7.10 at $481.80 Canadian per metric ton. The Canadian dollar was down 0.0035 to 0.7604. This brings the U.S. price to $16.62 per hundredweight.
