Co-op to ask for default judgment against Hennesseys

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

ELBOW LAKE, Minn. — In a Jan. 14 hearing, Ashby Farmers Co-op Elevator will ask Grant County District Judge Amy Doll for a default judgment against its former manager Jerry Hennessey and Hennessey’s estranged wife Rebecca.

The motion was filed Dec. 31 by Erik Ahlgren and Dorothy Bradley, an associate in another Fergus Falls, Minn., law firm.

Hennessey went on the lam on Sept. 10. After a federal IRS investigation, he was charged with mail fraud and turned himself in Dec. 4.

Hennessey’s attorney, Thomas Kelly, of Kelly and Jacobson law firm in Minneapolis, did not return a phone message from Agweek requesting an interview.

The co-op alleges Hennessey and his wife deprived the co-op of $5,446,329.27 in assets.

The couple was “unjustly enriched” with unauthorized transactions going back to 2003. Hennessey first coded checks written to himself as for “feed purchases,” but he “never sold feed” to the co-op, Ahlgren said.

Ahlgren believes Hennessey wrote $1.12 million in checks “directly to himself” from the co-op from 2003 to 2018. He wrote other checks for miscellaneous purposes not related to co-op business. He would write the checks “throughout the year” but hold them for entering into the accounting system at the “end of December in any given year.”

Nearly $1.4 million of the funds were for “personal hunting and recreational expenses.” For

Forum News Service/Agweek/Courtesy Ashby (Minn.) Farmers Elevator Cooperative The Jerry and Rebecca Hennessey home in rural Dalton, Minn., was improved and provided with two large buildings including the one at left (with the triple garage) which houses big game trophies collected by the couple around the world. The co-op soon will put the property up for sale to pay creditors.

the first time, the co-op listed the amounts for vendors. The following are the largest: ► $312,150 to Jay Link of Link’s Wild Safaris. ► $277,875 to Dickey Mueller and Mabula Game Lodge in South Africa. ► $177,500 to Chris Bilkey, in New Zealand. ► $89,400 to Sanora Darkhorn Safaris. ► $88,000 to Apple Creek Whitetails, Gillett, Wis. ► $74,500 to Joe Jakab and Point-Blank Hunts, Pittsburgh. ► $65,875 to Mulehead Ranch, South Dakota. ► $46,330 to Stone Mountain Safaris. ► $41,995 to Sam Fejes in Alaska. ► $35,000 to Atoscosa in Texas. ► $26,200 to MVF. ► $18,500 to Vladimir Melnikov, Profi-hunt. ► $16,500 to John Greef. ► $15,309 to Western Bad Boy Buggies.

► $12,500 to Chad Reel in Alaska. ► $10,000 to Juan Toquero.

Full-service bar According to the court documents, Hennessey paid at least $1.19 million to his personal credit card bills, including $219,414 in construction expenses for his personal properties, including his rural Dalton, Minn., home.

The report details the amounts, including $103,877 to Kamrath Construction, $21,780 to Plumbers Inc., $89,400 to Matt Skjeret, and $4,357 to Culinex, “all of which were falsely coded as purchases of soybeans, wheat or corn.” The checks were on the account of “Ashby Farmers Elevator Co,” but the recipient would not have seen any notation for the purpose.

The unauthorized projects appear to have included an “addition of a huge heated shed

complete with a full-service bar and home theater to house the animal trophies.” The documents for the first time show photographs of some of the displays. The Hennesseys’ last trip was to Australia in August 2018, just prior to the irregularities being discovered.

The documents say Hennessey from January 2013 to November 2017 misappropriated more than $416,245 to pay Taxidermy Unlimited, owned

by Betty and Marv Gaston in Burnsville, Minn. At least 10 of the checks for tens of thousands of dollars — up to $75,000 in 2013 — were to Marv Gaston.

The Gastons were involved in the contract-fordeed sale of property in Kanabec County, Minn.

The purchase was at 2.5 percent interest for a total of $450,000. The property included a small rambler, but also a shed that has living quarters. AG

Ashby, Minn., co-op appoints lawyer as ‘assignee’

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

ELBOW LAKE, Minn. — The shuttered Ashby (Minn.) Farmers Cooperative Elevator Co., has appointed Fergus Falls, Minn., attorney Erik Ahlgren as an “assignee” for the “the benefit of creditors,” a Minnesota process analogous to a receivership.

As assignee, Ahlgren will have powers similar to that of a bankruptcy trustee, officially acting as the company.

The “assignment” was filed Ahlgren with Grant County District

court on Jan. 3. Ahlgren will be able to ‘irrevocably” make all decisions on behalf of the co-op, which operated from 1908 to 2018 — 110 years.

Ahlgren had been acting as the attorney for the elevator since Sept. 10. The elevator officially closed for business Sept. 14 after Ahlgren found evidence that its former manager, Jerome “Jerry” Hennessey, had embezzled millions of dollars over more than a decade, using the money to go on international big game hunts and to improve his rural home.

The facilities since Oct. 2 have been leased to a new entity called Ashby Grain LLC, operated

by Wheaton-Dumont Cooperative Elevator of Wheaton, Minn.

2 Monday, January 14, 2019 / AGWEEK

Among other things, Ahlgren as assignee can pursue funds from “unauthorized checks” based on “unjust enrichment, the Minnesota Uniform Fraudulent Transactions Act,” and other statutes.

The co-op lists 43 creditors the company include these top six: ► CoBank, ACB, Greenwood Village, Colo.

— $8,063,478. ► Gold Country Seed, Hutchinson, Minn. — $332,567. ► Farm Credit Leasing, Minneapolis — $289,613. ► CHS Member Cooperatives Pension Plan, St. Paul — $242,029.

► Purina Animal Nutrition, LLC, St. Paul — $26,802. ► Ashby Equity Association, Ashby, Minn.

— $14,613.

According to the documents, other farmers who had delivered grain with payments expected at some amount of interest, essentially loans from the patron to the elevator. Those “unknown” amounts include the following: Bob Thormodson, Dalton, Minn.; David Gaarsland, Battle Lake, Minn.; Gary Thorstenson, Battle Lake; Joel Gaarsland, Vining, Minn.; John Mark, Dalton; Kurt Skinnemoen, Wendell, Minn.; Rodney Eggum, Dalton; Scott Neuman, Elbow Lake; Stanley Overgaard, Dalton; Wayne Holo, Dalton.

Farmers talk tight margins, planting intentions at Dakota Farm Show

By Michelle Rook AgweekTV Anchor

optimistic about production. “That’s the way I think the odds shake out with a slight advantage to being slightly above the trend for yields again this year,” he says.

John Riles with Midwest Shows, which runs the Dakota Farm Show, says farmers showed some tentative buying trends at their other shows at the end of 2018.

He thinks that was tied to the uncertainty in the industry with the trade war and lower soybean prices. However, he saw a more positive mood among farmers at the Dakota Farm Show. “I think people are concerned with some of the prices and that’s been an ongoing concern, but I think people are optimistic as well and hope that they can see a turnaround this year,” he says.

Mockler says they’re having some tough discussions with farmers planning for 2019 with the higher fertilizer prices and potentially higher costs for some crop protection products.

“You know there is some undertow that herbicide prices are a little higher and a lot of that has to deal with some of the trade, tariff stuff and the back and forth with China,” Mockler says.

However, he’s says he still positive about farmers being resilient enough to get through 2019 growing season.

“It’s been more profitable to be farmer than it is today,” he says, “but you know they are the eternal optimists and these growers will get through this.”

VERMILLION, S.D. — Farmers are looking at tight margins again for 2019 and are trending toward planting more corn and less soybeans in 2019. That was the talk among those attending the 36th annual Dakota Farm Show on January 3-5 in Vermillion.

Exhibitors like ‘N-Rich Plant Food, Inc. of Humboldt, S.D., which sells starter fertilizer, already is seeing the acreage shift to more corn in its early sales. Owner and President Dave Schwans says, “We’ve got about 30 percent or 40 percent of our customer base that has already raised their corn acres going into 2019.”

To save money, farmers also are looking at split fertilizer applications and that involves using a starter fertilizer, so they also are seeing an increase in sales for that reason. He says the fact that their prices have stayed stable compared to urea and other fertilizer products has been a benefit for them. Nitrogen, which is used in urea, is up $20 to $40 per acre due to higher natural gas prices.

“The product that we make has to be a dissolvable product,” Schwan says. “So all of our products, our raw material that we buy is all tech grade or food grade.

So we’re not tied to the ag market like ag grade urea, potash, etc. which fluctuate with the fuel market and the oil market.”

Seed company representatives, who are talking to farmers planning for 2019, also are hearing they’ll plant less soybeans.

Keith Mockler is an agronomist for DEKALB/Asgrow. “Right now I think we’ll probably go down that 5 to 6 percent,” Mockler says. “We planted a huge amount of beans last year just because the input costs, the cash flow was a lot better on soybeans last year.”

In fact, farmers in the United States and in South Dakota planted record soybean acreage in 2018. However, this year, the corn to soybean price ratio is currently more profitable for corn at right around the 2.3 to 1 ratio.

“Right now, it is a lot easier to cash flow a corn crop than it is a soybean crop, but it does take a lot more of your operating loan or operating cash to put a corn crop in,” Mockler says.

He thinks corn acreage in the state could be up 6 percent to 7 percent depending on what Mother Nature does this spring and also how much spring wheat gets planted.

Iowa State University climatologist Elwynn Taylor spoke at the show and provided the outlook for the upcoming planting and crop season. He says it may be too early to know if the weather will be too wet in the spring to plant additional corn acres. However, he admits much of the region went into winter with adequate to excessive soil moisture, which can hinder corn planting. As far as the outlook for the growing season, Introducing the Taylor says there is some uncertainty tied to El Nino as no clear-cut trend has developed.

“If the El Nino that we’ve been playing with for some months US Patent 9,950,872 - Foreign patents pending happened to win out and be here, that gives us a 70 percent chance of a good yield, above trendline yield,” Taylor says.

However, he says if the trend should shift to a La Nina, there is a 70 percent chance of below trendline yield. Yet he is still

U.S. Diplomat Named Director of Food & Ag Development Center GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A former diplomat and agricultural economist has taken the reins of the Great Falls Montana Development Authority’s Food and Agricultural Development Center. Barnett Sporkin-Morrison, whose background entails public service, economics and international trade, now leads the region’s food and bioscience business development efforts, including research and development, ingredient production and finished products.

Sporkin-Morrison, is a former agricultural attaché with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service and the former acting senior commercial officer at the U.S. embassy in Guatemala. Following his work in diplomacy, Sporkin-Morrison relocated to Montana, where he served as the chief economist for AgFertilizers, Inc. He led strategic financial and workforce decisions and business-to-business relationship management for the Great Falls-based distributor.

Sporkin-Morrison suggests there is substantial room for innovation within food and bioprocessing – a promising area being the alternative protein movement. Derived from plant sources – including cereal grains and pulse crops – alternative proteins offer a growing domestic market for Montana’s agricultural products.

THE PINKE POST

Businesses should decide their Sunday hours, not ND government

By Katie Pinke

Agweek Publisher

Do you shop on Sunday mornings? I don’t. In fact, my home state of North Dakota is the only state with a law that doesn’t allow you to shop on Sunday mornings — nor does it allow business owners the choice to be open for businesses. Once the clock strikes noon, doors can open, but that’s only been allowed since 1991. Before then, the closed sign didn’t change on Sundays. Maybe it sounds idyllic to you because everyone goes to church on Sunday mornings. But that’s not reality.

Several North Dakota legislators have introduced House Bill 1097 into the 66th legislative session to repeal the last standing “blue law” on the books. This past Wednesday, the bill went to legislative committee where it was argued but not voted on.

As North Dakotans, we pride ourselves on limited government in this deeply red state — but we dictate when businesses can or cannot be open.

The essence behind the law is that everyone should go to church on Sunday morning and businesses should be closed to allow that freedom. The reality is it doesn’t work that way. In fact, some churches have evolved and now meet in the evenings, even during the week, to reach more individuals and families.

In this day and age, businesses should have the right and freedom to be open anytime, any day of the week and still allow their employees time to attend religious services. Additionally, honoring — or not honoring — the Sabbath on Sunday is not the government’s job. That’s between God and me and God and anyone else, not between my government, God and me.

As a rural, North Dakota small business owner, I believe it is my right to be open on a Sunday morning if I so choose. It could be beneficial for customers who can’t visit during our Monday through Friday hours. But our retail lumberyard business isn’t open at all on weekends. Other than private appointments with customers for our building services, we eliminated Saturday hours in 2008 and have never had Sunday hours. All private businesses should have the freedom to choose when they’re open for business.

In our small town, our business is still closed over the noon hour for a lunch break. We close extra days around Christmas for our employees to have more time to celebrate with their families. It’s old fashioned. It’s not the norm. We probably lose some business because of it. But it’s a risk we take to provide the best work environment possible for our employees, and it aligns with our values as business owners.

My husband’s and my values, along with our business acumen, Katie Pinke/Agweek can determine what’s best for our business, customers, and employees. Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, I can separate my government Strasburg, N.D from my faith. My Christian faith does impact how I run a business, but that’s a business owner’s choice.

If you’re a North Dakotan, contact your legislators and ask for their support and a “yes” vote to repeal North Dakota blue laws. Don’t know how to contact them? It’s easy — click on “Contact my legislators” at www.legis.nd.gov.

Your legislators are your elected voice. They represent you, the taxpayer. Speak out and share your voice. It will take you less than five minutes. Let businesses decide their own hours of operation. Repeal the North Dakota blue law. AG Pinke is the publisher and general manager of Agweek. She can be reached at kpinke@agweek.com, or connect with her on Twitter @katpinke.

Farming titan among the survivors of 80s Farm crisis

By Mikkel Pates

Agweek Staff Writer

PINGREE, N.D. — David Glinz worries that farmers are coming dangerously close to reliving the 1980s farm credit crisis.

He knows all about that.

Glinz, 73, farms as Glinz Farms LLC, near Pingree, and is the only farming survivor in an epic farming meltdown. He and his audacious father, Arvel, and his younger brother, Bruce, together controlled 75,000 acres in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.

Individually, David was farming more than 50,000 acres of non-irrigated wheat in 1982, when his banker said he’d have to pay off a whopping $20 million of debt in 30 days. He said, “No way,” and negotiated to forfeit 10,000 acres in exchange for a write-down, which forgives some debt while holding him liable for the balance of debt.

Arvel and sons The Glinzes family was the epitome of the aggressive farmers in the 1970s.

David’s father, Arvel, out of the military after WWII, started farming in Bottineau County in the 1950s and amassing 4,000 acres. He sold out in 1960 to buy 4,000 acres in the Jamestown area in a tax foreclosure for former farming titan Fay Heasley.

In 1962, Arvel made headlines (and a company movie) when he was the first in the nation to buy a John Deere 5010 tractor rated at 117 horsepower — the biggest in its day. “My dad was always ahead of his time,” David recalls.

In 1969, Arvel “ran out of cash flow” because of low prices and his appetite for land. Arvel sold his machinery. The bank turned to David, then age 28, to take a loan as primary operator of the 13,000 acres.

“I bought two, Steiger 3300 tractors for $28,000 apiece,” David recalls. He seeded 13,000 acres by running “night and day” with a 56-foot drill and one field cultivator. He proudly posed with his six Steiger tractors in 1973. In the late 1970s, he’d run 11 combines for the harvest — eight of his own and three from a custom combiner.

In 1974, Russia bought U.S. wheat and prices skyrocketed — for a year. Machinery prices shot up. David and his brother Bruce gained fame for holding a machinery auction sale that filled the Jamestown Civic Center.

“I bought all new machinery that day,” David says.

“To be honest, I didn’t appreciate it that day,” David recalls. “I just thought, ‘We’re going to do this again.’”

Arvel’s quests As a farmer, Arvel was a political lobbying juggernaut. He traveled dozens of times to Washington, D.C., and Bismarck, N.D., to lobby lawmakers and administrators for policies that would benefit farmers — including himself.

He sought more research to combat wild oats.

He pushed for a higher loan value for wheat, the commodity that was still king in North Dakota.

Eventually, Arvel rented much of his farmland to David and shifted into real estate, both farm and urban.

In 1982, even as Norwest Bank (later Wells Fargo), put the pressure on, David was still optimistic. He calculated a return from the $4.05 per bushel federal grain loan rate plus a 26.5 cent per bushel annual federal storage payment, and thought the returns would increase from that level. “In my mind, with inflation, in a year or two down the road, we’d have $4.50 (per bushel) to $4.80 loan rate on wheat.” The U.S. loan rate for several years was within about one cent of the world price for wheat.

Instead of going up, under the Reagan administration, the loan rate declined to $3.70 in 1983, $3.30 in 1984 and $2.70 in 1985.

“It didn’t work at all,” David says.

‘It was crazy!’

Loan interest rates were getting brutal — 10 percent per year on a contract-for-deed but as much as 18 to 20 percent on other loans. “It was crazy,” David says.

The land value had peaked at $750 an acre and was falling fast. Buyers with the capacity to buy it held back, thinking it would go lower if they waited, and they were right.

There was only a brief respite from a federal “payment-in-kind” program that flushed federal farmer-owned reserve grain from on-farm storage, putting money in farm pockets and sending farmers literally flying across the country to counties where they could get the best deal on PIK “certificates,” They’d use the “certs” to “redeem” stored grain in what was called the “quick PIK-and-roll” play.

A pivotal disaster for the Glinzes happened when Arvel set up Bruce in 2,000 acres in the Hallock, Minn., and Drayton, N.D., area of the northern Red River Valley. The land had been owned by Jamestown friend Freddie Mutschler,

6 Monday, January 14, 2019 / AGWEEK

who had filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 6, 1983. The land turned out to be too wet to seed.

Without today’s prevent-plant crop insurance, the Glinzes suffered a big loss.

Bruce filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 28, 1983, converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation a few months later.

Glinz, Mutschler show On March 13, 1983, Arvel staged a tractorcade in Jamestown that made headlines. He fronted it with surrogates who said they were working for “Ralph,” their behind-the-scenes boss (Arvel).

There were more than 60 tractors and farm vehicles and about 100 farmers into a tractorcade. Arvel (later bankrupted with $13 million in debt) and Mutschler ($6.5 million in debt) supplied the people to run the machines that circled banks and disrupted business for part of a day.

Maynard Helgaas, a director of Stutsman County Bank, and also the John Deere dealership at the time, after “confronting” the angry farmers at the entrance to the bank. He told the Fargo Forum that the tractorcade was his two mega-farmer customers — Mutschler and Glinz — and that they’d borrowed tractors from his dealership for the event. (Helgaas today is the father-in-law of current North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum.)

On March 18, 1983, Arvel and his wife filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They ended up with little or nothing and blamed their attorney, Frederick Dale Kraemer, who went on to be disbarred in June 1985 for federal mail fraud and other charges stemming from an unrelated case.

FARGO, N.D. — The 1980s farm crisis became apparent in Iowa and Minnesota and created flashpoints in the Dakotas.

The stage was set by a series of interrelated events — high commodity prices in the 1970s, federal trade interventions, a stronger U.S. dollar, weakened exports, and then falling commodity prices, inflation, high loan interest, and then land devaluations.

President Ronald Reagan focused on deregulation, lower taxes and cutting social spending. In 1985, Reagan’s Office of Management Budget Director David Stockman proposed a 70 percent cut in farm program spending and moved to shift the Farmers Home Administration (now Farm Service Agency) toward loan guarantees through private banks, rather than direct loans.

“For the life of me, I can’t figure out why taxpayers have the responsibility to go in and refinance bad debt willingly incurred by consenting adults who went out and bought farmland when prices were going up and thought they could get rich,” Stockman famously said, tone-deaf to the political reaction in the country.

Here are some of the examples:

Minnesota

Seeing the money and time that Arvel and Bruce spent in bankruptcy motivated David to stay out of it. But he used the threat of bankruptcy as a negotiating point. Lenders “were always scared that you’d file bankruptcy,” David says, due to high legal costs and dubious returns.

In 1983, David slimmed down to about 32,000 acres and in 1989, too, to the 13,000 acres he farms today.

As “backup plans,” from 1986 to 1991, he attended Jamestown College, thinking he might become an ag banker.

In the 1990s, David tried to right his financial ship by buying into farmer-owned value-added cooperatives that were started to add value to the region’s crops. ”The only good one was

► In 1983, the great Jerusalem artichoke promotion was still rolling in southwest Minnesota, and two ag bankers at Ruthton, Minn., were murdered.

Angry farmers organized protests first under the banner of the Minnesota Citizens Organized Acting Together, also known as COACT, and then new groups — Groundswell and the North American Farm Alliance. ► Late summer, 1984, COACT filled the First Bank of Paynesville with 100 protestors in dairy-rich Stearns County. A small COACT group protested the calling of a loan for Gerald and Alicia Kohnen and their son, Donald, who milked 86 cows on a 260acre farm near the village of Roscoe. The family had paid their note on time but was under-capitalized for the bank’s standards. Paul Wellstone, then-assistant to Democratic Farmer-Labor Gov. Rudy Perpich, was one of 37 arrested in handcuffs for trespass. In 1990,

‘Keep our eyes on the ball here’ Trade negotiations crucial for area ag

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Frayne Olson studied agricultural economics in college. But Olson, now North Dakota State University extension crop economist/marketing specialist, says, not altogether in jest, that he might have done better to study political science.

“I’m not a political science major. I’m just a poor dumb economist trying to figure out what’s going on in the world,” he said.

Olson spoke Jan. 8 in Devils Lake, N.D., on the first day of the two-day Lake Region Extension Roundup. The annual event, which typically draws more than 700 people, offered sessions on a wide range of agricultural subjects. Most of the speakers came from the extension service, commodity groups and private companies.

Trade talks involving the United States, China, Japan and the European Union — which together account for about 75 percent of the world’s economy — are extremely important for North Dakota agriculture, Olson said.

President Donald Trump’s ongoing trade war with China has generated widespread attention both in and out of agriculture. When Olson spoke at Roundup, Chinese and U.S. negotiators were talking at the vice ministerial level in an attempt to resolve the dispute.

“These are the lieutenants, the nuts-and-bolts guys trying to set the groundwork for the generals to come and make the final decisions,” Olson said of the vice-ministerial level negotiators.

“That they’re actually sitting and talking face to face is positive. It’s a good thing. Because at least we’re making progress.”

China buys many U.S. ag products, including corn, pork, beef and spring wheat. But its purchases of U.S. soybeans draw much of the attention in ag circles. China feeds soybean meal to hogs, which in turn are fed to the country’s growing middle class.

Now, after a long lapse during the trade war, China has resumed buying U.S. soybeans, though the amounts are relatively small, at least so far.

“I think they’ll continue to buy U.S. soybeans, but how much does it add up to?” Olson asked.

China could step up purchases of Brazilian soybeans. And China already is finding alternatives to corn and soybeans to feed to hogs, he said.

One of the alternatives is becoming more efficient in soybean feed rations, using less

soybeans than before. No matter what else happens, China is highly unlikely to return to its former, less-efficient feed rations, which will work against U.S. soybean exports, Olson said.

Japan, too In early 2017, Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed trade agreement involving 12 countries. The dozen included Japan, a major buyer of many U.S. ag products, and Canada and Australia, which compete with the United States for ag exports to Japan.

But the 11 other countries went ahead with the agreement, now known as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. It went into effect Jan. 1, 2019, and reduces Japan’s longstanding tariffs on ag imports over the next nine years. That will give foreign competitors a growing advantage over the U.S. in selling ag products to Japan, U.S. agricultural groups say.

Trump, who favors trade agreements between individual countries rather than multi-country agreements, has begun trade talks with Japan.

“We just started talking with Japan about revising our trade agreements. How long is it going to take for us to get a new agreement? Especially since the (main) focus is on China,” Olson said.

“Guys, we’ve got to keep our eyes on the ball here. This is going to be important for North Dakota agriculture,” Olson said.

Elsewhere …

The United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, which replaces the former North American Free Trade Agreement, also is important for North Dakota agriculture, Olson said.

“We have a new agreement in principle, but it still needs to be activated” by approval of the U.S. Congress, Mexican Congress and Canadian Parliament, he said.

Actually implementing the new agreement is crucial for some North Dakota crops, including pinto beans, of which Mexico is a major buyer, Olson said.

The United States and European Union — a major market for many U.S. ag products — also are beginning trade talks, which, among other things, will address the U.S. tariffs on EU steel and aluminum. Those tariffs are still in place and “the Europeans are pretty upset about that,” Olson said.

The European Union and Canada already are implementing their own Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, which will reduce EU trade barriers to Canadian ag exports.

That will benefit Canadian exports of canola and navy beans to Europe, two crops that are important to North Dakota agriculture, Olson said. AG

Trade issues affect dry bean market, too Europe, Mexico key markets for area crop

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — What happens in Europe, Mexico and Washington, D.C., in the next few months will help to determine how many acres area farmers plant to dry, edible beans.

“We’ll still have to wrestle with some of these trade issues for a little while longer,” said Frayne Olson, North Dakota State University extension crop economist/marketing specialist.

Olson spoke Jan. 8 in Devils Lake, N.D., on the first day of the two-day Lake Region Extension Roundup. The annual event, which typically draws more than 700 people, offered sessions on a wide range of agricultural subjects. Most of the speakers came from the extension service, commodity groups and private companies.

Given unattractive prices for soybeans and many other crops, farmers in the Upper Midwest are evaluating whether to plant more dry beans this spring. Because demand for dry beans is limited compared to wheat, corn and soybeans, planting too many acres to dry beans could lead to big surpluses that would depress dry bean prices for several years — “and nobody wants that,” Olson said.

North Dakota already leads the nation in dry bean production. Minnesota is a top dry bean producer as well, while Montana and South Dakota farmers also raise the crop. There are many kinds of dry beans, but pintos and navys — on which Olson focused during his Roundup presentation — are the most popular.

Encouragingly for dry bean growers, the domestic U.S. market is growing. Annual American consumption of dry beans peaked in the early 1940s at 9.6 pounds per person, before beginning a long decline. But after bottoming out at 5.5 pounds per person in the early 1970s, annual consumption has rebounded steadily and is approaching 8 pounds per person.

Even so, exports remain crucial for the U.S. dry bean growers — and trade uncertainties cloud the outlook, Olson said.

“We spend a lot of time talking about tariffs and trade impacts on soybeans,” but they affect the dry bean market, too, Olson said.

About 25 percent of U.S. pinto beans are

exported, with most of the exports going to Mexico. The Trump administration plan to leave the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, cut into Mexican willingness to buy dry beans. And its replacement, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, also known as the new NAFTA, still must be officially approved by the U.S. Congress, Mexican Congress and Canadian Parliament, Olson said.

“The Mexicans really haven’t come back into the U.S. market to buy pintos. My sense is, they were waiting to see what happened with NAFTA,” Olson said.

About 55 percent of U.S. navy beans are exported, with most going to Europe, where they’re consumed as baked beans and other popular foods there. But the U.S. tariffs on European steel and aluminum remain in place, which in turn affects U.S. pinto exports to Europe, Olson said.

There are ongoing negotiations on the steel and aluminum tariffs, and the navy bean market is awaiting the results, Olson said.

Greg Endres, extension area specialist in cropping systems, and Hans Kandel, extension specialist in broadleaf crop production, also spoke about dry beans Jan. 8 at Roundup.

Endres looked at recent and ongoing research involving dry beans and fertilizer, row spacing and plant population, as well as the use of rye as cover crop in dry beans.

Kandel discusseed research into dry bean varieties, including looking at varieties with the the “slow-darkening gene,” which help pinto beans to hold their color longer and make them more attractive to consumers. AG

Get a plan for nonproductive land

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

DEVILS LAKE, N.D. — Area farmers invest a great deal of time and money to make the best use of productive farmland. But their effort should include improving parts of fields that aren’t producing crops, a North Dakota State University extension agent said.

“Get a plan, figure out what you have with a soil test and start moving toward your goal,” said Brad Brummond, a veteran Walsh County extension agent.

Brummond spoke Jan. 8 in Devils Lake, N.D., on the first day of the two-day Lake Region Extension Roundup. Many of his comments were specific to Walsh County in northeast North Dakota and adjacent countries. Soil salinity — which can cut into yields or even kill growing crops — is a serious problem in parts of that area.

Identifying problem areas in a field is the first step in resolving the problem, Brummond said.

“We all talk about these (bad) spots. But these spots need to be identified. Do a little informal survey. Find out what grows (in them), what doesn’t grow. Find out how big they are,” Brummond said.

Brummond recommended “investing in a proper soil test” to help identify problem areas.

County extension agents, at least ones in north-

east North Dakota, can provide information on soil tests, he said.

Naeem Kalwar, soil health specialist at North Dakota State University’s Langdon Research Extension Center, has a great deal of experience with soil testing, Brummond said.

Farmers will use different approaches to make better use of nonproductive land. Some will be interested only in growing crops out of the problem spots, while others might consider planting salt-tolerant grass for hay, among other possibilities, Brummond said.

“There are a lot of options. Consider where you want to go,” he said.

Patience is essential.

“It (salinity problems) doesn’t happen overnight, and it’s not going to go away overnight,” Brummond said. “Any time you’re trying to affect the soil, you’re looking at time and you must have patience.”

But solutions are possible. For example, a test site near Adams, N.D., went “from bare ground” (i.e., unproductive soil) in 2014 to producing 40 bushels per acre of spring wheat in 2018, Brummond said.

Though unproductive areas in fields are frustrating and may seem difficult to resolve, “There are ways we can address this issue. You just don’t have to walk away,” Brummond said. AG

A good fit: Corn adds value to ND farms Ethanol helps Enger family add generations

MARION, N.D. -- They’ve been raising corn on the Enger Grain and Livestock farm since the 1940s when they picked corn and put it in a corn crib.

In the past 15 years four partners brothers, Jeff and Delray Enger, their wives and sons, Justin and Brandon, respectively, have made the farm into a modern commercial size, of about 3,500 acres each of corn and soybeans.

The Engers are among 12,000 or so grain farmers in the state. Farmers planted 3.35 million acres of corn in 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Statistics Service. Corn is the third-ranked acreage crop in the state, behind spring wheat and soybeans, (6.6 million acres each).

Of course things have come a long ways since Jeff and Delray’s parents, Einar and Rena Enger started the farming in November 1945. “Economics drive how you define a family farm,” Jeff says.

Jeff’s family is headquartered at the home place, which has grown into an advanced dryer, scale and bin system. “As the yield has gone up over the past years, we had to add the advanced handling capabilities,” Brandon says. Delray’s place hosts the cattle feedlot of up to 1,000 head in hoop barn system, farmstead about eight miles away.

All of their corn is trucked 17 miles to the Spiritwood, N.D., ethanol plant which also is where they acquire distiller’s grains as a high-protein feed for their feedlot.

Shift toward corn

In the past 15 years, weather trends, corn technology and the ethanol business

Jeff Enger and his brother, Delray, and their sons, raise corn near Marion, N.D., and say an ethanol plant near Spiritwood, N.D., is integral to their success. have transformed the Enger farm.

It became wetter wetter the mid-1990s.

The Engers struggled with diseases wheat and barley and so moveed into corn and soybean as genetics improved.

They Engers started out planting 80-day maturity corn. Now they’ve gone to 90- to 94-day corn Jeff says this is in part due to first killing frost dates that have shifted to two weeks later than what used to be the norm. They also used to plant 18,000 plants per acre, and now are at 30,000 plants per acre.

In the late 1990s the Engers shifted to minimum-till systems, which conserve moisture by allowing them to seed crops into previous years’ crop residue. “We transitioned gradually as we added infrastructure,” Jeff says. “There was a time when we thought 100-bushel (per acre) corn was just great. And now we’ve probably doubled that on some fields.” Initially they were sending more than 80 percent of their corn to foreign markets. Now they o develop value-added opportunities.

Adding value

Jeff sees ethanol plant development as a key to adding value to their feedlot Initially, the farm received distillers dried grains

Jeff Enger’s family of Marion, N.D., has thrived on their Barnes County farm because of increased value-added ethanol expansion in nearby Stutsman County. from Red Trail Energy, LLC, an ethanol plant at Richardton, N.D. Jeff helped push for ethanol development as a board member for the North Dakota Corn Utilization Council and then the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.

It was a bonus when Midwest AgEnergy’s Dakota Spirit ethanol plant was uilt in 2015 at at Spiritwood, N.D., only 17 miles away.

They use (50 percent moisture) distillers grain.

Looking ahead, Enger sees more opportunity. He’d like to see more ethanol exports developed, as well as developing the 15 percent ethanol mix into fuels (E15) in the U.S.. “I know there are some threats out there,” he says, listing the struggle for market share, as well as development of electric cars.

“First and foremost, I would like to see more livestock developed within our state,” Jeff says. “I think that’s an opportunity missed. Only 5 to 10 percent of our (raw) corn is used (regionally) as feed. I would like to see that grow.

North Dakota still export 80 percent of our calves.

I think there’s an opportunity to feed

them here in North Dakota. I think there is an opportunity to grow the swine and dairy industries here,” he He calculates that Barnes County alone has the potential for feeding out 2 million hogs. Livestock has become a specialized industry that requires the “culture” to be reintroduced into places like Barnes and Stutsman counties.

“You specialize in grain farming -- corn, the soybean. But if you’re going to raise hogs or dairy, you (likely) specialize in that,” he says.

As a farmer and ethanol enthusiast, Jeff would like the public to realize the fallacies of the “food v. fuel” argument. The fact is that bushel of corn weighs 56 pounds, he says. When it is used for ethanol, 20 pounds of that comes back to the feedlot as cattle feed. That’s protein-rich meat -- a nutritious food that consumers love to eat.

Ahead, the North Dakota corn industry describes ethanol production, ethanol retailing, and ethanol promotion.

The Enger family at Marion, N.D., ships corn to Midwest AgEnergy LLC’s Spirit AgEnergy facility at the Spiritwood (N.D.) Industrial Park, and then brings home distillers grain for cattle feed.

Changing industry, changing varieties

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer

The American Malting Barley Association has made some changes in the varieties that it wants barley farmers to grow. But the changes won’t affect North Dakota farmers, said Steve Edwardson, executive administrator of the North Dakota Barley Council.

The Milwaukee-based American Malting Barley Association, the nonprofit trade association of 76 brewing, distilling and malting companies, annually releases its list of recommended malting barley varieties. The list tells U.S. barley farmers the varieties that the industry intends to use in the coming year.

The association advises barley growers to check with their local elevator, grain handler or processor to gauge local market demand before planting.

North Dakota led the nation for many years in barley production and still ranks, along with Montana and Idaho, among the top three.

Both two- and six-row barley can be used to make beer. Their respective names refer to the number of rows of kernels around the head of a barley stalk. Traditionally, North Dakota farmers have raised six-row barley, which is easier to grow in the state, but strong and rising demand from the barley industry for two-row barley has made it increasingly common in the state.

The American Malting Barley Association 2019 recommended list consists of 25 two- and eight six-row varieties. Changes from 2018 — all involving two-row varieties — are: ► The Harrington and Propino varieties are being dropped from the list. ► ABI Growler, Bill Coors 100, Moravian 165, and Thunder have been added.

According to the AMBA: ► ABI Growler is a mid-season spring barley developed by Busch Agricultural Resources in Ft. Collins, Colo. ► Bill Coors 100, released in 2016 in celebration of Bill Coors’ 100th birthday, and Moravian 165 are spring varieties bred by Molson Coors in Burley, Idaho. ► Thunder is a winter variety released by Oregon State University.

The new varieties on the list are produced in other parts of the United States. And there already are tworow varieties on the list specific to North Dakota, so barley farmers in the state aren’t affected by the 2019 changes, Edwardson said.

DELIVERS PRACTICAL WAYS TO IMPROVE BISMARCK, N.D. – Wheat growers in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming are invited to Wheat U, a one-day, information-packed educational opportunity Jan. 17 at the Bismarck Event Center, Bismarck, North Dakota.

Sponsored by BASF, Wheat U promises to deliver a wealth of profit-enhancing wheat production and marketing information.

Wheat U is structured as a combination of speakers and breakout sessions. Our luncheon speaker will be Dan Wogsland, executive director of the North Dakota Grain Growers Association. He will provide an overview of industry topics that growers will need to keep in mind for 2019 and beyond, including the recent passage of the farm bill, export markets and more.

The program begins with a panel of highachieving grower leaders, from whom 10 Monday, January 14, 2019 / AGWEEK

attendees can learn top productions tips and tricks.

Breakout sessions, repeated four times through the day, will deep dive into topics such as keeping wheat diseases at bay in the Upper Great Plains with Dr. Andrew Friskop, North Dakota State University plant pathologist. Tom Peters, NDSU, will share new thinking and new approaches to herbicide-resistant weeds that are encroaching into North Dakota.

Frayne Olson of NDSU will discuss market opportunities in the current trade environment.

Logan Grier, BASF technical marketing manager, will share with growers how seed treatments and fungicides can protect the health of wheat crops and lead to higher yield potentials. Andrew Adams, technical service representative

with BASF will focus on how better understanding of wheat growth stages can help farmers efficiently time their fungicide applications to maximize their return on their investments. CEU credits will be available.

The event concludes with a panel discussion from the local experts at Laughing Sun Brewing, who will advise wheat growers about how wheat quality characteristics translate into quality brewing.

Wheat U is free to attend and includes a complimentary luncheon, courtesy of event sponsors AGWEEK, BASF and High Plains Journal. Farmers are asked to register online at www.wheatu.com.

Two noxious weeds added to ND list

BISMARCK, N.D. — Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) and houndstongue (Cynoglossum officinale L.) have been added to the North Dakota noxious weed list.

Palmer amaranth is an aggressive pigweed species similar in appearance to waterhemp and was first found in the state in 2018. It has now been found in five counties.

Houndstongue, which does not spread aggressively like Palmer amaranth, has been found in North Dakota since at least 1911, but infestations have tripled since 2008. It is now found in at least 25 counties.

Palmer amaranth may spread through multiple channels, including contaminated seed mixes, equipment and machinery movement, animal feed and bedding, and wild birds. It is a prolific seed producer that can emerge throughout the growing season. It grows rapidly

Houndstongue is spread when its bur-like seeds are picked up by animals or people moving through infested areas. The infestations are most often found near wooded and riparian areas, making it difficult to control. Houndstongue is toxic to livestock if ingested.

The public is urged to work with local weed officers, extension agents and other experts to identify and report suspect plants.

COVER STORY

Checkoff money makes up a significant portion of NDSU ag research funding

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer

FARGO, N.D. — At North Dakota State University, the budget for research extension centers took a 13 percent cut from the state during the past biennium. Federal funding has been stagnant for decades, says Greg Lardy, vice president for agriculture affairs.

But still, work goes on at research centers across the state, where scientists breed new varieties, work on disease resistance, find new uses for products and look at methods for protecting and improving soil health, goes on.

While government funding for ag research continues to be a concern, scientists at NDSU have come to count on Lardy grants from checkoff organizations, which provides not only much-needed money but also a tangible connection to the farmers and ranchers who can use the knowledge gained by the work in labs, research centers, and fields.

Checkoff groups account for 20 percent of ag research grant funding at NDSU, Lardy says.

“It’s a very important part of our research portfolio,” he says.

The money is far from a philanthropic effort by commodity and checkoff groups, though. The research funded provides important gains for agriculture across the state.

“We really stress that this is research that is not going to sit on somebody’s shelf. This is research that will be brought ... to the farmers and utilized,” says Kendall Nichols, director of research for the North Dakota Soybean Council.

“Otherwise, research for the sake of research isn’t going to do anybody any good at all. We want research that is valuable to the farmers and creates ability for them to turn a profit or makes their life easier.”

“Research has always been a fairly large budget priority for our board,” says Erica Olson,

A top priority That’s not the case everywhere. State checkoff groups in some places have placed research

on a lower priority than other interests, including market development and marketing. For instance, The Southern Illinoisan reported in November that researchers in Illinois were struggling after the Illinois Soybean Council reduced its research budget.

Checkoff groups on the state and national levels are funded through mandatory payments based on agriculture sales. Groups, overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, set their own priorities for spending, whether it be on education, marketing, research or other areas.

COVER STORY We really stress that this is research that is not going to sit on somebody’s shelf.

This is research that will be brought ... to the farmers and utilized.

– KENDALL NICHOLS, director of research, N.D. Soybean Council

The North Dakota Wheat Commission was established in 1959. While research always has been a priority, Olson says the funding level has increased in the past decade. Now $1.2 million to $1.7 million per year — about a third of the budget — goes to research, though the total amount is dependent on crop outlook.

Olson says much of the funding goes toward breeding and quality programs.

Many advancements in wheat breeding that drive Olson yield and quality improvement happen at the public level. That isn’t necessarily headline-grabbing research, but it’s something that is important year after year, she says.

“This is the bread and butter,” Olson says.

“This is the basics of your production.”

The funding also has gone to look for ways to fight things such as Fusarium head blight, rust pathogens, and other crop diseases.

Some of the North Dakota Soybean Council’s largest funded projects also include new varieties. Unlike wheat, much advancement in soybean technology has been made by private industry. Because of that, farmers have been unable to keep back some of their own crop for the next year’s seeds. So, the council has funded research into glyphosate-resistant soybeans, which has allowed NDSU to develop two varieties. One of the varieties was planted on

16,000 acres last year, providing enough seed for 400,000 acres this year.

That’s an important way to increase profitability, Nichols explains. Seed costs are significant, and if farmers can cut into that in some way while retaining some of the important traits in modern seeds, that might be the difference between making a profit or losing money.

Another project has funded the production of a non-GMO variety.

Other research includes things like soil health and finding new markets for crops.

Nichols says one promising soybean council funded project is looking at using soybean products in dust retardant.

While federal funding remains ultra-competitive and doesn’t always focus on state-specific needs, Lardy is hopeful that the outlook for state funding may improve.

“It’s going to be a more positive session than the past session,” Lardy says of the North Dakota Legislature, now underway in Bismarck.

More than just money The support from checkoff groups comes with more than just money, Lardy says; it also means a tangible, real-world connection to the problems farmers are facing. The checkoff groups pass along issues and ideas from farmers, crop consultants, and the agriculture industry, allowing researchers to focus on things that can be put to use.

“It directly goes to issues that growers feel are important,” Lardy says.

He says NDSU has met with checkoff and grower groups to learn about priorities and increase dialogue on what is needed, and work continues on connecting what researchers are doing on campus in Fargo with what’s happening at the research extension centers throughout the state.

“Our researchers, our faculty, the scientists at the research centers, are very interested with working together with producers to solve those types of problems,” he says.

North Dakota’s research centers, scattered throughout the state, provide some benefits for

research. For instance, Nichols says the soybean council has been looking more at issues specific to western North Dakota — a relatively new frontier for soybeans.

Research has been specific to on-farm needs.

For soybeans, that has meant things like looking at whether a soybean-canola rotation poses any problems (it didn’t) or whether certain fungicides or fertilizers provide an adequate return on investment.

The groups put out requests for proposals, to which researchers respond. Then, the boards of the groups listen to the proposals from the researchers.

“It’s kind of an elevator speech,” Nichols says.

“Can you sell it to us in 10 minutes?”

But the ongoing dialogue between researchers and checkoff groups means that if farmers or the industry has a problem or concern, the groups can bring ideas to the researchers as well.

“We’ll work with them to get a research project going,” Olson says.

Ag research has been shown to return 40 percent on investment, Nichols says.

“It just shows that this money comes back multiple times to our agricultural community and benefits all agriculture,” he says. AG

REGIONAL NEWS

World Wildlife Fund works with cattle, grazing groups on grasslands conservation

By Amanda Radke Special to Agweek

Just as many environmentalists and media outlets place the blame of climate change on beef cattle production, one organization is praising cattle ranchers for their preservation of grasslands.

Kevin Ellison, World Wildlife Fund grassland ecologist for the Northern Great Plains, recently spoke at the 2018 South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association’s Annual Convention and Trade Show, where he acknowledged the value of cattle graz-

ing for maintaining critical wildlife habitats.

“There are 25 species of obligate grassland birds — birds that need grasslands for nesting and breeding — across the Northern Great Plains,” Ellison said. “Across that group of species, the average has been in great decline since the 1960s.

The main threat appears to be cultivation and conversion of habitat.”

The Breeding Bird Survey was initiated in the 1960s by Chan Robbins and is still used today to estimate the population of grassland birds.

Currently, the World Wildlife Fund is conducting bird surveys on ranches to learn more about how private ranch lands provide valuable habitat for grassland birds.

“When working with grassland birds, you quickly see that it’s the extent of habitat that matters,” Ellison said. “These birds need to have access to large intact grasslands, so if we want to have conservation impact at scale, we have to work with landowners. The majority of landowners on the Great Plains are cattle ranchers. We

want to create a viable win-win situation where the grass is used to produce beef and an income for producers and, at the same time, provides a habitat for wildlife as well.”

The World Wildlife Fund’s Northern Great Plains Program works with ranchers across the region to maintain healthy grasslands, viable wildlife populations and economic and cultural resiliency for ranchers as a means to prevent the conversation of ranching lands to cropland, energy WORLD WILDLIFE FUND: Page 15

development, urbanization and other uses, Ellison explained.

That’s why they created the Sustainable Ranching Initiative to help sustain ranching families and to bring awareness to the conservation value of ranching lands. To help ensure that grassland remain intact in the long-term, the World Wildlife Fund lends its support to sponsor events such as the South Dakota Grassland Coalition’s grazing schools, Ranching for Profit workshops, Leopold Conservation Award Program, South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association Happy Cow Tour,

South Dakota Grassland Coalition Ranch Bird Tour and ongoing participation and cooperation with South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association on the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

Through voluntary and confidential bird surveys, which take place in May and June, Ellison and his crew look at the number of grassland bird species in the Great Plains.

“We engage with private landowners to provide them with custom data of their land while compiling a list of species and number of birds in the pastures,” he said. “These surveys provide

valuable information to producers and accelerate peer-to-peer learning on management.”

Since 2015, the World Wildlife Fund has conducted bird surveys on 26 different ranches across Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota, and the organization is looking to double that number in 2019.

“We are trying to get 200 producers surveyed in this three-state program by the end of 2019,” Ellison said. “We are looking for a variety of species including grouse, hawks, owls, shorebirds, songbirds, sparrow, burrowing owl, golden eagle and western meadowlark, to name a few.

Ellison praised the management practices of the ranchers surveyed and says the organization strives to connect producers with beneficial conservation opportunities that help both the landowners and the bird species.

“It’s so important to us to keep ranchers on the land at scale to have enough grass to maintain this community of bird species,” said Ellison.

“Grasslands need to be grazed, or they will be turned into something else.”

Dakota Growers Pasta Co.,” he says. “All of the rest of them lost money.”

David and his wife Barbara went into the trucking business, running 12 hopper bottoms from coast to coast. They invested $1.5 million over a five-year period to build more than 4 million bushels of commercially-licensed storage, storing for companies like CHS, Cargill, and Archer Daniels Midland.

Ag’s epilogue Things were different for the Glinzes after the 1980s.

Bruce attempted farming again but died in a car crash on Sept. 16, 1999. Arvel continued in a real estate, owning land around Jamestown that wasn’t developed in his time. He died in August 2010 at age 89.

Barbara, who had been active in the farm, now has advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

In recent years, David joined a “peer group,” counseling program, organized by Morris, Minn., consultant Tim Schafer. The group includes nine farmers of about the same size as David from the U.S. and Canada, who are “far enough away from each other that we don’t compete with each other.”

In July 2017, a loan officer and accountant from his lending agency met with David and the group strongly told him it was time to pull back on farming.

“It was a wake-up call — tough love,” David says. “I’d been losing money the last few years,” he says, shrugging. “It seems like every acre of corn I’m losing money on.”

In March 2018, David sold 1,800 acres off and a line of machinery. He now farms about 11,500 acres. He has gone back to 30-year-old combines — five John Deere 9610s. He shifted to soybeans, which has been a challenge during the Trump tariff and trade wars.

His daughter, Sasha, 45, started into farming 320 acres in 2018 and will double that in 2019.

“When you’re not used to it, it’s hard to jump into multi-million-dollars worth of debt,” David says.

David is concerned about today’s environment of high-priced new equipment, and highpriced labor and parts. Investing in the latest precision agriculture tools is expensive. He doesn’t expect interest rates will skyrocket to the 20 percent level in the 1980s. He says even a 1 percentage point increase from a 4 percent interest rate is a 20 percent increase on bigger amounts of money.

One thing’s for sure, he says, chuckling: he’ll “avoid the temptation” of refinancing his farm this time around. AG

PUSH-BACK: From Page 6

Wellstone would go on to upset incumbent U.S. Sen. Rudy Boschwitz, R-Minn., a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

South Dakota ► South Dakota farm numbers from 1978 to 1988 fell from 40,000 to 35,000. ► In 1983, Byron Dale, Timber Lake, had an armed confrontation over his ranch loans and use of bogus “sight draft schemes,” used as a kind of fraudulent IOU. Dale later became president of South Dakota-based Common Title Bond and Trust, which tried to convince North Dakota and Minnesota farmers to pay bills using “sight drafts.” ► On Feb. 12, 1985, about 6,000 South Dakotans attended a rally in Pierre. The entire congressional delegation was there — Sens.

Jim Abnor and Larry Pressler, both Republicans, and Rep. Tom Daschle, a Democrat. Among other things, farmers were alarmed at Reagan’s plans to reduce farm price supports. State Rep. Jim Burg, D-Wessington Springs, who had criticized the Farmers Home Administration for being too aggressive on credit, appeared on “Nightline” with Ted Koppel, explained that communities were losing farmers, but also “our banks … our churches ... our hospitals.” The South Dakota Farmers Union, led by Lee Swenson, asked for a moratorium on farm foreclosures, restructured debt, and increased commodity loan rates. ► In January 1986, Bruce Litchfield, 38, a federal Farmers Home Administration farm loan supervisor at Elk Point, S.D., shot and killed his wife and two children in their sleep, and then went to his Union County office and shot himself himself. Unnamed friends and clients were quoted by the Associated Press, saying Litchfield was frustrated that going “by the book” wasn’t helping financially troubled farmers. Sheriff Eugene “Bud” Rasmussen said that no farmers in the Union County then were in danger of losing their farms.

About the same time, Deuel County farmers applied for food stamps and heating aid. These “farmers don’t even want their own families to know they’re in trouble.” the Rev. Leonard Kayser told Newsweek. “They just fail, one by one.”

North Dakota ► Oct. 2, 1982, about 300 farmers were expected for a Farm Crisis Day on the steps of the state capitol in Bismarck. Only 40 attended in the cold rain, and it was moved to the Town House Motor Inn. Farmers, wearing red armbands, said they’d already lost 20 to 25 percent of their equity because of deflating land values. A group called the Dakota Survival League was headed by Elmer Knodel, a Drake farmer. The group wanted a

three-year moratorium on farm loan foreclosures.

Virgil Rott, a farmer from Edgeley, N.D., told a reporter he’d been pushed by lenders to install expensive irrigation on his 3,000-acre irrigated farm. Now the payments were breaking him despite 100-bushel per acre irrigated corn yields, which he considered good for the times. Rott estimated he had $800,000 in equity but was losing it fast. Rott later filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Jan. 30, 1984, owing $2 million to creditors. ► In February 1983, a group of tax protesters led by Gordon Kahl who were involved with a group called the Posse Comitatus were confronted by U.S. marshals near Medina, N.D. Two marshals were shot and killed and three others injured. Kahl died later in a confrontation with federal authorities in Arkansas. His son, Yori, and another associate went to federal prison. Like the Ruthton, Minn., murders, it was associated with the farm crisis but involved non-agricultural factors. ► Spring of 1984, North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Kent Jones of Devils Lake, a Republican, started the Farm Credit Counseling program, using Industrial Commission funds. The program was similar to a program in Minnesota and hired more than 80 counselors and advocates. In 1985, North Dakota Legislature made the credit counseling program permanent and funded it through the North Dakota Department of Agriculture. The state added a Credit Review Board, which had the power to hire negoti-

ators to deal with creditors to save farmers’ homes.

Often CRB and credit counselors were the same persons, reporting to two agencies. The counseling program was renamed to the North Dakota Agricultural Mediation Service and was authorized to receive federal funds and added formal mediation.

Almost all of the requests for formal mediation came from the creditors. ► While farmers were suffering, so were associated agriculture industries. The Steiger Tractor Co., based in Fargo, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 1986 and eventually sold to J.I. Case.

The lime-colored tractors that had seen success being exported to Australia and elsewhere with such success, would knuckle under.

A national stage The plight of farmers took the national stage with the help of celebrity musicians.

On Sept. 22, 1985, an organization called Farm Aid staged a benefit concert in Champaign, Ill., involving performers Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young. It drew 80,000 people and raised $9 million to help struggling farmers.

The Farm Aid concerts continued annually, even through the prosperous commodity price years in 2010. The organization focuses on hurricane, flood and drought relief, or particular emphasis for specific sectors (dairy in 1991, for example) when commodity prices decline. AG

period of time equal to the number of business days FSA offices were closed, once the government shutdown ends.” FSA offices remained open through close of business on Dec. 28, but have been shuttered since. During that time, many producers received MFP funds.

“Farmers who have already applied for the program and certified their 2018 production have continued to receive payments,” Perdue said. “Meanwhile, I continue to urge members of Congress to redouble their efforts to pass an appropriations bill that President Trump will sign and end the lapse in funding so that we may again provide full services to our farmers and ranchers.”

MFP was part of a broader trade mitigation package that also included domestic food purchases and international market development funding. MFP is the largest part of the $12 billion package and gives funds to producers based on production levels.

AgCountry to return $42.5 million in cash patronage FARGO, N.D. — AgCountry Farm Credit Services

will return $42.5 million as 2018 cash patronage to eligible member-owners — the largest patronage amount to date for the cooperative.

AgCountry is a member-owned, locally-governed lending institution that provides credit and financial services to more than 18,000 farmers and ranchers in eastern North Dakota, western Minnesota and central Wisconsin. It also provides agribusiness loans and leases nationwide.

AgCountry is part of Farm Credit System, a nationwide network of cooperative financial services institutions that serves rural America.

AgCountry patrons have received more than $135 million in cash patronage since 2014. The patronage program grants the board of directors the ability to distribute a portion of the association’s net income to its member-owners when financial conditions allow for it. This marks the fifth consecutive year AgCountry will pay out a patronage dividend to its member-owners.

“We continue to see a tough economic climate across Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin,” said board Chairman Leif Aakre. “Because of the strong position our association is in, it is important to give back to those who make our cooperative successful.”

“Our mission is to serve agriculture and rural America,” said AgCountry president and CEO Marc Knisely. “We are focused on fulfilling that mission BRIEFS: Page 21 001793676r1

Kassian Find out more about how Tait & Kate help rural people, communities, and businesses thrive in “Tips & Tales” at www.taitandkate. com.

By Annette Tait & Katy “Kate” Kassian * With sincere apologies to Charles Dickens Two cities, similar sizes, five miles apart on a state highway, midway between two major cities. Both have main streets, food, retail, schools, services, libraries, etc. What sets them apart is how they use their assets.

City #1’s main street is lined with vacant buildings, storage and service-only businesses — think newspaper, window installer, tax preparer, lawyer, gym, and so forth. There are only three exceptions: a retail jewelry store, a bar and a pizza joint. Very few of the businesses have any visible signs — most just have something small in their windows.

City #2’s main street is 100 percent occupied and visitor-friendly.

For the most part, it’s lined with various retail shops and eateries. In addition to window signs, most have signs on their buildings as well as hanging signs that show drivers and pedestrians what’s up and down the street. Guesswork completely eliminated.

Both cities have parks and open spaces. Unfortunately, most of City #1’s are outside of easy walking distance. In contrast, City #2 has parks within a half mile of every property on both sides of the highway. (This is included in city planning, part of which requires “a park within walking distance of every house.”)

City #1 has a local chamber of commerce. But it emphasizes homebased businesses and the larger tax base of newly constructed ventures outside of the city proper, without including existing in-town storefronts. Distrust between the older businesses and city leaders is palpable, as the only way older businesses get promoted is when they “pay to play.”

On the other hand, City #2 has an active business association that tries hard to keep its business community viable. This is readily seen in the ways businesses of all kinds work together and often share resources. This community tries to showcase ALL its businesses for the greater good — even those that aren’t members of the association.

Both communities host events throughout the year: harvest festivals, Christmas open houses, car shows and the like. But, as you might expect, the atmospheres at these events reflect the tone of the town where they’re held. Bet you can guess which community’s offerings are more popular.

Last, but definitely not least, is the “Come on in and set a spell” factor.

Seriously — how people feel is crucial.

City #1 is not overly welcoming. Not to business and not to new people, even though growth is rapid and houses are popping up overnight.

You just don’t see folks visiting with each other on the streets, in the stores, or on front porches.

On the other hand, City #2 is very welcoming. Strangers at events will come right up and ask “Are you new here?” or “Can I help you find anything?” People stop and visit in the streets. This is still true, even with equally rapid growth to that of its neighbor.

If you had to choose, which town would you want to live in? Work in?

Play in? The one that welcomes you with open arms and tries to help you settle in? Or the one that only cares about tax revenue?

We know it’s not always easy to find ways to say “Yes.” “Yes” to new business ideas. “Yes” to new ways of being “idea friendly.” “Yes” to embracing newcomers and welcoming them into the community.

But, for the health of our towns and the quality of life lived here, we need to learn. By working together, we can make sure our communities are places we want to be a part of instead of just somewhere we go to sleep. AG

Warm up and meet another farmer during meeting season

By Mark Huso

Special to Agweek

Yes it’s cold outside, but it’s warm in a meeting room.

December has already given many opportunities for farmers to get together with events such as the Ag Expo at the Fargodome, Canola day in Langdon, N.D., Prairie Grains Conference, The Conservation Tillage Conference, and Farmer 2 Farmer in Omaha, Neb. I’ve been able to attend three of these events and I’m certain there were other types of meetings also attended by groups of farmers I embrace meeting season. It’s a time to decompress from the busy daily activities April through Harvest season brings. However, it’s also a time to reflect, analyze debate, argue, agree, think forward, and help plan for 2019. All of us do something different in regard to how we run our farms and businesses. When we go to meetings there is already a mindset in place of what works and what doesn’t work. Attend a meeting and we have a chance to listen to someone that did something different in 2018 or is going to try a new idea in 2019. Then the debate begins inside our own minds. Then we may verbalize the debate with an old friend or someone you just met sitting next to at a conference. A simple “Hey, have you ever tried that?” starts an entirely new conversation.

Last month at the Conservation Tillage Conference in Fargo and also the Farmer 2 Farmer event in Omaha, it was great to see firsthand when differing opinions come together. Different opinions came come from just across the gravel road or from 500 miles away. The best thing we can do though is listen and value what the other person is saying and in return they may do the same. Around a supper table (yes, I call it supper) at a steakhouse in Fargo during the Conservation Tillage Conference, I heard good, fair debates and ideas between tillage practices, crops raised, equipment used, inputs purchased, and grain marketing concepts. Yes, sometimes we argued. Arms would be crossed, heads would shake, “No that’s not going to work.” But also, there was insight shared between neighbors, and between new farmer friends meeting for the first time.

And when the conversation is good, you can often hear “Another round please, he’s buying.”

Many of us serve on boards and attend meetings outside of agriculture.

Whether it’s by personal choice or there is simply no one left in your city or township you win by default. Fire and ambulance, church, hospital, school, city, water, and township boards are examples of such. In most cases we come from different backgrounds on these boards and there are debates at these meetings where people disagree but find common ground to make positive choices for the group we serve.

Farm meetings should always be just like that. You may not agree with the speaker who came from out of state to visit, but you can probably take one of his points and apply it to your management decisions.

There are still many good meetings coming up in January and February. Extension Roundup in Devils Lake, N.D., Precision Ag Summit in Jamestown, N.D., Wide World of Weeds along with Soil and Water in Fargo, KMOT Ag Expo in Minot, N.D., Crop Connect in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Precision Ag Day in Maddock, N.D., Crop Expo in Grand Forks, N.D., local café talks put on by university extension, and many others.

So go attend a meeting. Sit in a corner or meet a new farmer. Don’t be afraid to raise your hand and ask a question. I hope to see you at a meeting this winter. AG

Warm up your winter party with potato poppers

By Cristen Clark

Special to Agweek

Winter time game day parties are some of my favorite parties to host. Cold weather, great friends and a decent ball game to watch stacks the deck in your favor when it comes to having fun. Warm weather parties and barbeques have two elements, an opportunity to take in the great outdoors and delicious food. People tend to eat a little less when it is muggy and hot outside so nailing the food aspect of your party isn’t as critical as it is in the wintertime, but do make sure your beverages are ice cold. Cold weather parties find people huddled up in the kitchen around the only thing that matters, (besides each other’s company) a spread of great food and drinks.

The best parties offer up a variety of appetizers and small bites suitable for grazing and conversation. When a large meal is served, there’s a tremendous amount

of timing and forethought that happens. When there is a snack-centric party with lots of dips, snack foods and small bites, it doesn’t matter if one item needs a few more minutes to bake or chill, plenty of food is set out in flights with items being enjoyed and cleared away before the next round.

I love to host snack-inspired gatherings and I consider how many people will be there, allergies and preferences before making a menu. If the party is potluck style, I just ask people to bring what their family enjoys. Make-ahead-bake-later recipes are top of mind, as well as finger-foods and items that don’t require a plate, steak knife and fork.

Obviously, when I can incorporate two pork products in one recipe, I’m going to!

And these little pop-able bites are like miniature twice-baked potatoes. They could absolutely be served alongside a juicy Iowa chop or beef ribeye, or they can be enjoyed on game day as part of a larger appetizer spread. AG

Ham and Bacon Potato Poppers Makes 36 poppers Ingredients: 18 golf-ball sized yellow baby potatoes 2 TBSP butter, melted 1/4 tsp salt 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 cup milk 1/4 tsp seasoned salt 1/4 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 pound thick sliced deli ham, approx. 3-4 large slices, chopped to ¼ inch square pieces 6 green onions, chopped, green and light green parts only, divided 1 1/2 cup colby jack shredded cheese (bonus points if you buy a block and grate your own) 1/2 lb. thick cut bacon, cooked, crumbled Directions: Cut potatoes in half widthwise.

Cut rounded bottoms off of potatoes so they are flat and sit on a sheet pan evenly.

Brush all potato halves with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, let cool until warm. With a melon scoop, core out the center of the potato, leaving a sturdy portion at the bottom to support the filling that will be placed into the potato later.

Combine all cored out pieces of potato into a mixing bowl. Add butter, sour cream, milk, seasoned salt and ground black pepper. Mash together. Add ham and half of the green onions.

Scoop a heaping portion of the mixture into each potato vessel. Top with colby jack cheese and bacon crumbles. Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.

Garnish with remaining chopped green onion tops. Serve warm. *Make ahead version: Assemble poppers completely, omit baking step and green onion garnish. Cover poppers with plastic wrap and place reserved green onion tops in a baggie refrigerate (1-2 days max). When ready to bake preheat oven to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes, until cheese is melted. Garnish with remaining green onion tops. Serve warm.

THE SORTING PEN

Enjoying a Montana winter in North Dakota

By Jenny Schlecht Agweek Staff Writer

On a recent Monday, I found myself strolling across the street in downtown Fargo, N.D. Despite the fact that it was an early January day in one of the coldest regions in the country, I had ditched my coat earlier that morning on my way to interviews and was comfortable in just a bulky sweater. I returned home to central North Dakota that afternoon to find my husband and father-in-law scraping manure off concrete slabs, a chore that can almost never be done in the dead of winter.

The next day, I was trying to cover every piece of exposed skin I could before venturing out of the house for the 15-foot walk to the garage. The temperature had dipped to the single digits, and the wind was blowing 800 mph (give or take).

And all I could think was, I sure do feel at home this winter.

“At home” for me will always be Montana, despite the fact that one more winter here will mean that I’ve spent as many winters in North Dakota as in my home state. Still, those early lessons in what’s normal tend to hang on.

In my first trip to North Dakota to visit my intended college, the softball coach with whom I was speaking told me that he had found his Montana players, over the years, to be more likely to whine about North Dakota winters than his California players. The Montanans, he explained, thought they knew about winter, while the Californians had little frame of reference.

I didn’t understand what he meant then — because I, like his other players, thought I knew all about winter. It wasn’t until the next year, trudging between classes and practices and meals, that it dawned on me what the difference was between winter in the two states.

It can get miserably cold in Montana. And, as anyone who was around last year can tell you, it can snow heavily and often.

But, in south central Montana where I grew up, winter often is fleeting. One day you’re bundled up and the next you’re comfortably clad in a sweatshirt for a coat. My dad was out in the tractor doing fieldwork in December, and, while that is not the norm, it also didn’t seem terribly odd.

In most of the North Dakota winters I’ve experienced, winter comes to stay.

If it snows in early November, there may be snow on the ground continuously through spring (or that’s how it seems anyway). The season is relentless and can seem unending. You come to expect the roads around towns to be ice-covered and bumpy for months at a time, and all plans are penciled in to the calendar with an understood “weather permitting” tag.

This winter started in October, with heavy, wet snow that threatened crops.

But it warmed up, the snow melted and mild conditions returned. We have snow on the ground again now, but we also have some bare patches, where the dormant grasses poke out. For every bitterly cold day, we’ve had a glorious, sunny, relatively warm one to make up for it, like the light at the end of a frigid, windy tunnel.

We have three or more months of potential winter weather left, I suppose.

Continuous bitter cold, wind and heavy snow could come and unpack their bags.

But I’m going to enjoy what we’ve had so far. It truly has been a Montana winter so far in North Dakota, and I welcome it. AG Schlecht lives on a farm and ranch in Medina, N.D., with her husband and two daughters. She can be reached at jschlecht@agweek.com or 701-595-0425.

Enderlin man gets jail time for horse theft LISBON, N.D. — An Enderlin, N.D., man has been sentenced to jail time, community service and probation for the theft of a horse.

Southeast District Judge Mark Blumer sentenced Hunter Jankowski to 30 days in the

Richland County Jail, 80 hours of community service and two years of supervised probation for Class C felony theft. Jankowski’s incarceration began Jan. 7.

According to the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association, a 4-year-old dun gelding valued at $5,000 was stolen on May 16 and returned to its owner on May 21. Stockmen’s association Deputy Brand Inspector Fred Frederickson, who investigated the case, said the horse’s freeze brand was helpful in identifying the animal’s rightful owner. Jankowski was charged in May. Ransom County State’s Attorney Fallon Kelly prosecuted the case. AG

THE RIPPLE

Building trust with consumers in 2019

By Marytina Lawrence Special to Agweek

It is so hard to believe that another whole year has passed and we are looking down the calendar at 2019! I remember like it was just the other day that we were discussing the turning of the century and what that could mean for everyone. The Y2K discussion had everyone in a dither about what would happen when the clock struck 12:01. Here we are, 19 years later and the technology of today is beyond comprehension for me. My children have seen more change and advancement in their short lives than I have seen in my life of 50 years. What is in store, who can possibly know.

All of this got me thinking a lot about the farmer that I married almost 24 years ago and how technology has increased our efficiency on the farm and our ability to be more precise in our record keeping, more determined in our health management and more accurate in our genetic breeding selection. Yet still one of the major issues agriculture continues to face day in and day out is the perception by the consumer about what we do, why we do it and how we do it. Agricultural communities and member-driven organizations have jumped on the bandwagon with everyone else, utilizing social media as the marketing tool of the day.

Every morning, I peruse my social media sites to see what the latest news is, advocacy push or idea and how agriculture is fairing in the open market. It is a mixed bag to tell you the truth. Sometimes I question if all the added work is worth it. I realize many might criticize me for that statement, but there are times when I wonder if the consumer is really listening, watching, trusting anything they see on the internet. I hear all the time that you can’t believe anything you see on the internet. True or false? I am really not sure.

I had a college instructor once say to me that “perception is reality”. It took me a moment or two before that statement truly sunk in. If I perceive the sky to be pink and you think it is blue who is right. Interesting question with no definitive answer. I have begun to truly recognize that the perception consumers have about what makes food good and healthy is solely based upon what they perceive to be true. As a farmer, it is my job to understand their perceptions and what is important to the consumer before I address the origins and practices of growing food.

In 1999, most people had a healthy perception and belief that the world could stop with the turning of the clock. Not until 12:01 did anyone believe that was not the case. And with that there occurred a complete perception shift. With so much to sort through on the great information highway, we must go back to the old fashioned way of building personal relationships of trust before attempting to shift perception. Our credibility depends on it. In the next few weeks of the new year, I

am hopeful to open up this discussion for some serious thought and address some of the road blocks we hide behind in agriculture that make it harder to be trusted.

If you have comments feel free to contact me. I look forward to talking about the tough questions in an effort to build a future relationship of trust that we can pass on to the consumers.

there is little information for the market to find direction.

This year’s U.S. government shutdown (now the longest in history) has left the Department of Agriculture is on the sidelines from a reporting perspective until funding is restored and the government is reopened. That means that no reports mentioned above were released and export sales data on agricultural goods also is not reported. So much of the data available is based on weather, some mention of sales, and demand that is known without the government’s reporting. And there is some movement from day to day, but for the most part the lull that we usually see in early January is

continuing with little major directional moves for commodities.

Wheat Wheat prices have been bouncing around the established trading range for quite some time. And while there has been some 8- to 10-cent moves in a day, those days quickly correct and leave prices mostly unchanged from week to week.

From an export perspective, the U.S. and Canada are competitively priced with other sources, but Russia continues to be a seller despite dwindling supplies.

Weather is mostly favorable for the U.S. winter wheat crop though we do not know quite

how many acres were planted this year due to both the government shut down and wet conditions during planting.

December, which is supportive, in theory. But markets have not been able to gain much ground in recent weeks.

Durum

Peas and lentils

Durum prices are holding steady and right at the old lows. Do not expect much movement until the spring when weather can again become a driving factor. The market is well supplied and prices should not be moving more than a few cents here or there until spring.

Pulse prices have been firmer to start the year, but remain relatively quiet. There has not been much trade to get excited about, but export sales to Argentina has bolstered hopes of rising demand.

Canola

The mustard seed market started the 2019 calendar year on a firmer note. Demand has picked up for brown and yellow seed, leading prices higher.

The canola market has not been able to rally off of old lows. The main drivers include huge soybean supplies and palm oil stocks globally and the ongoing trade war with China and the U.S. The trade war does give canola some added demand, but with the 90-day negotiation window in effect and no U.S. Department of Agriculture data on exports to give insight to how China’s buys of U.S. soybeans are progressing, it is unclear what canola demand looks like in the months ahead. Crude oil has found its legs after hitting a low mark in late

Mustard seed

Barley Barley prices have been weaker in Canada over the last week. Most users are covered going forward, so there has been little trading action to get excited about. But the mild winter in most areas is leading to lower feed demand in both the U.S. and Canada, softening feed demand. AG

MARKETS

Markets awaiting trade negotiation details Wheat

The wheat market experienced a couple of days with decent gains during regular trade only to close with minor gains in an overall sideways pattern this week. All three wheat contracts ran up to their 50-day moving averages but failed to punch through them. This led to more technical selling in the Jan. 10 session.

Weekly export inspections were well below expectations coming in at 260,000 metric tons (9.6 million bushels). This was the lowest weekly total of the marketing year, which gave the market pause early week.

The U.S. dollar had a lower tone this week and has been off $1.60 since the Jan. 3 session, which should be supportive to exports.

There is a lot of export activity lately. Algeria purchased 550,000 metric tons of wheat at $261 per metric ton, with the likely suppliers being France and Argentina. Tunisia tendered for 100,000 metric tons of durum. Egypt purchased 415,000 metric tons from Russia for shipment in late February and early March. There were nine offers and Russia was the low bidder. The U.S. offer was only 60 cents per metric ton higher than the Russian offer on a shipped basis. So U.S. prices are competitive — it’s just the higher cost of shipment across the Atlantic that is giving the Black Sea region the edge.

Matif (French) wheat futures have been trading in a range of $203 to $207 per metric ton recently, and the euro has been sideways to higher, holding $113.70 levels, which should hurt European exports in the second half of the marketing year. France did announce this week that they would be trimming their export forecast outside of Europe in the coming year. The other good news from a currency exchange standpoint is that the Canadian dollar has increased more than $2 since Dec. 31, which should help U.S. spring wheat export business. This increase is certainly aiding U.S. canola prices.

The Jan. 11 crop report will be delayed because of the government shutdown, so it’s harder to determine market direction.

The tender announcements are serving as the best indicator for market movement. A couple of private analysts are stating that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will likely increase the Russian production number by 1 million to 2 million metric tons but that Australia could be revised down by 1 million metric tons. Once the U.S. government opens, there will be a lot of export data hitting the market all at once, since the last export sales report was Dec. 20.

We could see some unusual volatility for this time of year — good or bad, but I think the recent weakness in the U.S. dollar would cushion the downside in regard to the wheat market.

Average trade guesses for the January crop report show 32.27 million acres of fall planted wheat versus 32.53 million last year.

This average guess is some 700,000 acres higher than Informa’s estimate from earlier this week. U.S. and world ending stocks number estimates for 2018-19 are very close to December final numbers at 987 million bushels and 268.22 million metric tons.

Informa estimates fall winter wheat seedings at 31.513 million acres, a decrease of more than 1 million from last year. Of this 31.513 total, 22.2 million is Kansas City hard red winter, 5.85 million is Chicago soft red and 3.46 million is white wheat.

For the week ending Jan. 10, March contracts for Minneapolis wheat were down 6.25 cents at $5.64, down 3.25 cents at $5.1375 for Chicago wheat, and down 7.25 cents at $4.9875 for Kansas City wheat.

Corn Corn futures continue to be range-bound with both the bulls and the bears looking for news to push the market one way or the other. In Jan. 8 trade, the July contract hit $3.995 before backing off.

We saw the July contract hit $4.0125 in mid-December, and there appears to be an enormous amount of hedge and speculative selling interest once this contract gets around $4.

Weekly inspections came in at 502,000 metric tons (19.7 million bushels), which was well below expectations of 650,000 metric tons to 1 million metric tons. This was the lowest total of the marketing year.

Conab estimates the Brazil corn crop at 91.2 million metric tons, compared to 91.1 million metric tons last month and USDA’s estimate of 94.5 million metric tons. The Rosario Exchange estimates the Argentina corn crop at 44 million metric tons versus earlier estimates of 42 million to 43 million metric tons and USDA’s current estimate of 42.5 million metric tons. These numbers compare to the average trade guesses of 94.31 million metric tons for Brazil and 42.39 million metric tons for Argentina.

Weekly ethanol production was 7 million barrels, a 37-week low.

This is down 1.09 percent versus last week and up 0.4 percent versus last year. This is a 2.6 percent decrease in over the last eight weeks compared to last year. Ethanol stocks as of Jan. 4 were 23.254 million barrels, up 0.4 percent versus last week and up 2.35 percent versus last year. Ethanol stocks, despite the production slowdown, remain at record levels for this time of the year. With the slowdown in production, a 1.7 percent gain is needed through Aug. 31, and it’s unlikely that the USDA estimate of 5.6 billion bushels of corn for ethanol will be met for the marketing year.

Weekly petroleum data showed crude oil stocks declining less than expected to 439.74 million barrels. Gasoline stocks rose significantly more than expected to 248.06 million barrels and distillate stocks rose significantly more than expected to 140.04 million barrels. For the corn marketing year, year-over-year gasoline demand is running 1.2 percent less than the same period last year. Spread prices for E85 under E10 remain historically narrow at 27 cents per gallon in the Fargo, N.D., market.

Crude oil futures have rebounded more than $10 per barrel since Christmas Eve. Saudi Arabia stated earlier this week that they will be cutting back on production in an attempt to boost global prices.

Soybeans

Soybean futures were under pressure and took a big hit on Jan. 10, as Conab estimates came in lower than last month but were much larger than trade expectations. Conab is putting Brazil’s soybean crop at 118.8 million metric tons (4.366 million bushels), down from 120.1 million metric tons last month and 119.3 million metric tons last year. This was above the average trade estimate of 117 million metric tons. These estimates are also much larger than private estimates we have seen recently. AgRural lowered Brazil’s soybean crop estimate from 121.4 million metric tons to 116.9 million metric tons (4.295 billion bushels) due to recent heat and dryness in southern Brazil. Private analyst Cordonnier cut Brazil’s soybean crop 3 million metric tons to 116 million metric tons.

Trade negotiators from China and the U.S. have narrowed some of their differences, according to sources, which makes negotiations between senior negotiators later in the month much more likely. U.S. ending stocks are still burdensome. Even if there is a future agreement between the U.S. and China, it will take a long time to eat through the abundant soybean stocks.

The weekly export inspections report was disappointing this week and may have kept the upside limited. Soybean weekly export inspections totaled 24.7 million bushels for the week ending Jan. 3, down from 44.6 million bushels for the same week a year ago. Inspections for 2018-19 total 635.6 million bushels, down 42 percent from a year ago and far below USDA’s estimate for an 11 percent reduction. USDA export sales data will be delayed until the government is back up and running in full capacity.

Current support for the March contract is $8.77. Resistance is $9.1825 and then the five-month high of $9.4175. March soybeans got within 15 cents of this major resistance point before falling off.

March soybeans were down 14.75 cents for the week ending Jan. 10.

Canola For the week ending Jan. 10, March canola futures were down $4.90 at $480.50 Canadian per metric ton. The Canadian dollar was at 0.75605. This brings the U.S. price to $16.48 per hundredweight.

• Velva, N.D., $16.26 per hundredweight, March at $15.99.

• Enderlin, N.D., $17.46 (Nexera).

• Hallock, Minn., $16.26 per hundredweight, March at $16.33.

• Fargo, N.D., $16.75 per hundredweight, March at $16.80.

Barley Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2.60, while malting barley received no quote. Berthold, N.D., bid is $2.50 and CHS Southwest New Salem, N.D., bid is $2.55.

Durum Cash bids for milling quality durum are $4.50 in Berthold and at $4.50 in Dickinson, N.D.

Sunflower Cash sunflower bids in Fargo were at $17, with March bids at $17.35.

For the week ending Jan. 10, soybean oil was down 45 cents for the week at $28.19 on the March contract. AG Monday, January 14, 2019 / AGWEEK A19
