It’s time to give Minnesotans a more affordable choice for health insurance By Mark Dayton, Tony Lourey and Clark Johnson ince 1859, the Sexton family has owned and operated the Irish Ridge Dairy Farm in Millville, Minn., about 25 miles northeast of Rochester. Sheri and Vince Sexton run the family dairy today. Like generations before them, Sheri and Vince work hard every day to produce high-quality milk and dairy products to provide better lives for themselves and their family. But rising health insurance costs have thrown them into a financial crisis. Like most farmers, the Sextons have always purchased their own health insurance on the individual market. Last year, they paid $1,580 a month for their health coverage. This year, their premiums went up 40 percent,to $2,200 per month. Altogether, the Sextons are paying $26,400 in premiums this year, for a policy with a $13,000 deductible. Thanks to the premium relief the Legislature and the governor authorized in late

January, Sheri and Vince will save about $6,600 on their annual premiums this year. But even with that relief, they will still pay almost $20,000 for a health policy they can barely afford to use. The Sextons’ story is not unique. Many thousands of hardworking Minnesotans have been saddled with steep health insurance premium increases and huge deductibles — making quality health care unaffordable. Their experiences show how urgent this problem is and why we must work together to help the Sextons and so many other Minnesotans to afford the quality health care they need, at prices they can afford. Sheri and Vince told us, “Something has to change.” We agree. And we have a solution. In 1992, Gov. Arne Carlson and legislators from both parties created MinnesotaCare — a stateoperated health insurance plan that now provides over 107,000 Minnesotans with affordable health coverage for

themselves and their families. And, with less than 3 percent in annual overhead, MinnesotaCare has proven that it can be run with more efficiency and accountability than many commercial plans now being sold on the individual market. It is a nation-leading, bipartisan solution that has worked in Minnesota for 25 years. We believe that Minnesotans should have the freedom to buy their health insurance through MinnesotaCare. Their premiums would cover the full cost of their policies, so there would be no ongoing subsidies from the state. The MinnesotaCare “buyin option” would provide a more affordable choice for another 100,000 Minnesotans, who now buy coverage for themselves or their families on the individual market. Another strong benefit of this proposal, particularly for Minnesotans in rural areas of the state, is the broad networks of physicians and care providers available through MinnesotaCare.

Allowing more Minnesotans to buy in to MinnesotaCare would offer many families a real option to choose their doctor. This is in stark contrast to the single, narrow network of insurance products available in large sections of the state. Republicans, Democrats and all Minnesotans agree: We need more affordable health insurance. We also agree that there needs to be more competition to give consumers better choices while purchasing the coverage they need at prices they can afford. We ought to take our lesson from a program — MinnesotaCare — that has worked successfully for decades, and now give more Minnesotans the choice to purchase this high-quality insurance at lower prices. It is time for a real solution to rising health insurance costs. That is what Minnesotans expect. That is what they deserve. Editors note: Dayton is the governor of Minnesota, Lourey is a state senator and Johnson is a state representative.

Land is crucial to people’s survival I read a lot of articles about the proposed pipelines and existing ones. A lot of points were brought up about North Dakota’s workers getting more good-paying jobs and the lift in oil prices that will be more money, more tax money to run the state. Yes, that may be right and will help many laid-off workers. Suddenly it came to me out of nowhere. What happens to all the farmland that grows grains that are crucial to feed the world? There is bread and water that are the crucial products for human survival the North Dakota farmers raise. We can’t eat oil, we can’t drink the polluted water.

Maybe the rich people can drink wine and eat cake. (One French queen said to the poor people who were complaining of having no bread.) That is the nitty gritty of the long-term view. The world will be coming to an end, sooner or later! That is all I have to say for now. Elli Wagenbach Jamestown, N.D.

Story of organic fraud is testing Fraud is indeed a huge problem when it comes to imported “organic” goods into the US. But the problem is not with the missing “certified trans-

action certificate.” This piece of paper which is supposed to accompany shipments to their final destination is meaningless unless there’s field testing in foreign countries to ensure organic products are genuine or safe. Sadly, at present, there is none! The reason is that major food processors, manufacturers and retailers here in America are not the least bit interested in seeing the testing clauses of the USDA National Organic Program enforced overseas because it will impinge negatively on their supply chains. I grew up on an organic grain farm in Saskatchewan and worked for five years as a

USDA contract organic inspector. I now live with my wife and three kids down in Texas where I’m working to modernize the multibillion dollar organic industry. The first step is to start testing all farms covered by the USDA NOP at least once a year. The cost of such a test is less than $100.

New anhydrous ammonia rules to go into effect soon

BISMARCK, N.D. — A rule amending the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Risk Management Program is scheduled to go into effect March 14 if no changes are made by the Trump administration. The new rule will affect all of the approximately 260 anhydrous ammonia retailers in North Dakota. The new rule includes several changes in the areas of accident prevention, emergency response and public availability of chemical hazard information. It also clarifies a number of existing RMP requirements. “The North Dakota Department of Agriculture has been closely following this rule change and provided comments during the process,” Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said. “While not all of our concerns were addressed, the final rule is workable and shouldn’t have an overly burdensome effect on our agricultural anhydrous ammonia retailers.”

Goehring added that the department will be working in the coming weeks to disseminate the details of the changes by providing updates and compliance information to the anhydrous industry.

MSU Extension wins animal evacuation grant

BOZEMAN, Mont. — Montana State University Extension Service has won a $28,000 grant from State Homeland Security and Emergency Services via the Montana Disaster and Emergency Services to assist communities with planning for the evacuation and accommodation of pets and service animals and the sheltering of livestock during natural disasters and emergencies. The Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, also known as the Stafford Act, authorizes the delivery of federal technical, financial, logistical and other assistance to states and localities during declared major disasters or emergencies, according to the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. MSU Extension associate specialists Jeanne Rankin and Tommy Bass will use the grant to help communities create Community Animal Response Teams. Rankin and Bass already are work-

ing with two communities. Citizens in the Corvallis and Hamilton area came together following the Roaring Lion fire. They have an equine rescue group, livestock group and pet group who meet regularly. There also is a group working to develop a tri-county CART in Glacier, Pondera and Toole counties. MSU Extension is seeking four more groups to participate. MSU Extension also is seeking two groups who currently have livestock and/or pet CARTs in place to conduct the functional exercises. This will allow the group to test all elements of the plan in a mock emergency situation. To inquire about CART training or the functional exercises, contact Rankin at 406-465-5142 or jeanne. rankin@montana.edu.

SDSU Extension to host heifer development series

BROOKINGS, S.D. — South Dakota State University Extension Service will host the third annual Heifer Development Webinar Series, titled “Building Your Genetic Base.” “This three-part webinar series will focus on the managing the genetics of cow/calf herds with the objective of providing producers with right genetic tools for their toolbox to build

herd bulls and heifers with the desired genetics to help them meet their goals and be profitable,” says Taylor Grussing, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist. The 2017 webinar series will run February 23, March 2 and March 9. All sessions will start at noon Central time and run for one hour. Grussing encourages anyone who is interested to register, even if you are not able to watch the webinar live.

How FFA preps kids for real life T his year, our son won’t be reminding me or his piebaking grandma the night before he needs a pie for the FFA week pie social at school. I miss not having a kid participating in FFA week or winter career development events. FFA was a vital part of our son’s junior high and high school experience, one that led him to achieve many goals he set for himself during that time in his life. There isn’t a sport or an instrument that singlehandedly teaches students as many lessons as FFA. Sports and music experiences are stronger because of FFA experiences. FFA enhances academics. You don’t need to be a farm kid or even have dreams of pursuing a career in agriculture to thrive in FFA. Learning how to work for something, to be part of a team, to fail and to win are all part of real life — and all fundamental for a next generation of employees and employers. To truly build up a next generation of leaders, I encourage you to put your support behind programs, such as FFA, that make that a priority. Hunter’s freshman year of high school he set a goal to win the state ag sales CDE as a team. He won individually as a sophomore but he still hung onto his goal of winning as a team. In the midst of Hunter’s final basketball season, the Wishek ag sales team practiced early in the morning and late at night. His school and practice routine totaled 12 to 15 hours every day. Napoleon, N.D., is 27 miles from Wishek. As you can imagine from their proximity, Napoleon and Wishek are rivals, though FFA members from the two chapters often practice and travel together to contests. With a score of about 1,400 points, the Napoleon FFA ag sales team beat the Wishek FFA ag sales team by a quarter of a point in the state contest. The loss crushed Hunter maybe more than never getting a chance to play in the state boys basketball tournament. The Napoleon FFA went on to win the national championship in the ag sales CDE. The Wishek FFA ag sales team lost to the best. Despite the fact, the Wishek kids learned and prepared to be champions. They learned, as Hunter said, “how to lose with class and sometimes the reward is the process not the result.” The experience taught them more about real life than any curriculum or sport can teach. As a young FFA member, Hunter had dreams to be a state FFA officer or maybe even a national officer. College football dreams won out and he ended his FFA career this past June when he won extemporaneous speaking and his classmate Julianna won memorized speaking at the North Dakota State FFA contest in Fargo. As he walked across the stage to receive his award, Hunter broke the rules. He walked to the podium and shared his thoughts about what FFA meant to him as well as his sorrow after the loss of a great FFA member. On that day, June 9, 2016, an airplane crashed just outside our small town, killing all three onboard, including former Wishek FFA member Colbie Fandrich, the kindest kid you could ever meet. As much as we love competition, winning doesn’t really matter in life. Real life lessons come through the experiences — the painful, tragic ones as well as the happy, glorious ones. As a mom and supporter of FFA, I pay tribute to all of you in the trenches who are educating and preparing a next generation for real life through the blue and gold of FFA.

NATIONAL NEWS

US Department of Agriculture report looks at size and profits of family farms By Jonathan Knutson Forum News Service WASHINGTON — Family farms are one of the most controversial topics in modern agriculture. There’s widespread disagreement on what constitutes a family farm and what doesn’t. A new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture won’t end the debate, but does shed light on family farms nationwide. Among its conclusions: ► Ninety percent of million-dollar farms, or ones with gross cash farm income of at least $1 million, are family farms. ► Relatively big farms continue to gain a growing share of ag production. The million-dollar farms now account for half of farm production, up from a third in 1991. ► Though some small farms are profitable, they’re more likely to have a higher risk of financial problems.

► Farm households in general are neither low income nor low wealth. The report, “America’s Diverse Family Farm, 2016 Edition,” was prepared by the Economic Research Service, an arm of USDA. Robert Hoppe, an ERS economist, discussed the report during an online meeting Wednesday with the news media. ERS defines a family farm as one where the majority of the business is owned by the operator and individuals related to the operator. It also uses the broader USDA definition of a farm as any place that produces and sells, or normally produces and sells, at least $1,000 of agricultural products during a given year. The small and large-scale categories are broken down further: ► Small is split into self-declared retired farmers who continue to farm on a small scale; farmers whose major occupation is off the farm; and farmers who report farming their

major occupation. ► Large-scale family farms are divided into large (gross cash farm income between $1 million and $5 million) and very large (gross cash farm income of more than $5 million.) Today, small family farms account for 90 percent of all farms, 48 percent of all farmland and 24 percent of production. But small family farms play a bigger role in some sectors than others. For instance, small farmers account for 57 percent of poultry and eggs, most under contract, and 52 percent of hay, Hoppe said. The report also found that family businesses still dominate U.S. farming. Ninety-nine percent of U.S. farms are family farms, and the latter account for 89 percent of farm production. Many U.S. agriculturalists wonder if big farms will continue to grab

an increasingly bigger percentage of overall ag production or if the longstanding trend will change. Hoppe noted that farming operations in some other countries have grown very large. But, “there are some characteristics of small farms that help them, family farms, continue,” including flexibility in working off farm and knowledge of local growing conditions, he said. “There are advantages that small farm operators and family farm operators do have.” The ERS says its mission is to “anticipate trends and emerging issues in agriculture, food, the environment, and rural America and to conduct high-quality, objective economic research to inform and enhance public and private decision making.” Read the report at www.ers.usda. gov/webdocs/publications/eib164/ eib-164.pdf?v=42709.

Durum decisions Farmers weigh risks of planting

By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer PLAZA, N.D. — Durum always has been a big part of Keith Deutsch’s life. Besides raising the crop, the 60-yearold Plaza, N.D., farmer promoted it through service on the U.S. Durum Growers Association, including a stint as the group’s president. But Deutsch has “termed out” on the association’s board, reaching the limit of his potential service. What’s more, he’s strongly considering not planting any durum himself this spring. “I might end up having a little. But I don’t think it would be much. The price just doesn’t justify the risk (of growing it),” he says. Like many durum farmers in North Dakota and Montana, which dominate U.S. production of the crop, Deutsch is frustrated with longstanding problems with vomitoxin. The toxin, which has flared up repeatedly in area durum, leads to huge price reductions, known as discounts, in infected grain. In some cases, infected grain can’t be sold at any price. Historically, durum, used to make pasta, is considered riskier to grow than spring wheat, used to make pasta. So durum fetches a premium, or higher price, to compensate for the greater risk. Now, Deutsch and some other durum farmers who have battled vomitoxin say the premium no longer justifies the risk. Farmers in areas that haven’t been so hard hit may think differently, however. Byron Richard, a Belfield, N.D., farmer, is considering planting durum instead of spring wheat in 2017. He farms in the southwest part of the state, an area that isn’t a major producer of durum and which generally avoided severe problems with vom in 2016. “We’ve avoided most of the disease problems they’ve had in the northern part of the state. So durum might be a fit for us,” he said. Gordon Stoner, an Outlook, Mont., durum grower who was hit hard this year by vomitoxin, said he’s still evaluating what to plant this spring. But while vom was a severe problem

I might end up having a little. But I don’t think it would be much. The price just doesn’t justify the risk (of growing it). KEITH DEUTSCH, Plaza, N.D., farmer on planting durum this season

for many Montana durum farmers in 2016, some producers in the state largely avoided it — and consequently will be more willing to plant it this year, he said. “A lot depends on how much of it (vom) you had last year,” Stoner said. U.S. farmers planted 2.15 million acres of durum in 2016, with North Dakota producers accounting for 1.3 million and Montana growers for 600,000. Most of the remaining acres were so-called “desert durum” planted on irrigated land in the southwest U.S.

Spreading west

Once, durum — which fares best in dry, hot days and cool nights — was grown across most of North Dakota. But the region’s ongoing wet cycle, which began in the early 1990s, led to widespread Fusarium head blight, also known as scab, in durum fields. Scab, in turn, produces vomitoxin, also known as vom, Deoxynivalenol and DON. Human health isn’t affected unless infected grain is ingested in very high quantities, but grain with vomitoxin can affect flavors in food and processing performance. So millers try to limit vomitoxin levels. As scab problems intensified, durum production has shifted to western North Dakota, which typically receives less rain and had been less susceptible to scab than the rest of the state. Northeast Montana, where rainfall usually is limited, also has seen a big upturn in durum acres in recent years. The 2016 crop season, however, brought some of the worst scab problems ever and saw the disease pop in many durum fields that previously had avoided it. Deutsch said prices and, to a lesser extent planting conditions this spring, ultimately will determine whether he plants durum and, if so, how much, “You’ve got to have the price. Right now, the prices are just so discouraging when this (vom problems) are this bad,” he said.

I can’t even fathom it, really.” He said the industry must guard against anything similar in 2017. Dominique Youakaim of Charleston, Ill., president of the National Jerger Agricultural Aviation Association, attended the event and, along with Gary Jerger of Moorhead, Minn., discussed national issues. Youakaim said NAAA includes 1,600 aerial applicators, which is about half of the total. He said the organization is heavily involved in the national re-registration of all current chemical products which could jeopardize aerial application labels for many chemicals now used, dangers from meteorological towers that collect information to prove wind quality for wind tower turbines and guarding against drone issues. Safety issues are No. 1, Jerger said, and the NAAA also is working on establishing rules that would clarify prohibitions for spraying in the Waters of the United States, often called WOTUS, a proposed EPA regulation. Perry Hofer, owner of Doland Aerial

Spraying of Doland, S.D., likened his job to a nurse in human health care. Among the issues he’s most focused on is how crop protectors can guard against pest resistance to insecticides and herbicides. Tim “Toby” McPherson, owner of Tall Towers Aviation, Page, N.D., will mark his 40th spray season in 2017. Recertification, education and updates are important, he says, as well as networking. Of his concerns, the proliferation of drones and the dangers to unsuspecting spray pilots are a major issue for crop dusters and all pilots. “It’ll be a good tool, but we’re going to have to have something that identifies them as drone in the area,” McPherson said. He’s also concerned about wind turbine farms and the meteorological towers.

Drones ahead Regarding drones, Kevin Morris, Minneapolis district director of the Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team, told conference-goers that there is increasing talk about the possibility of spot-applying some crop protectants with drones, but the liquid material is so far too heavy for most applications. “In rural communities, companies are out to sell their UAS product to farmers, and farmers don’t know to ask the questions: Are you authorized? Do you have an exemption?” Morris said. Federal and state officials are studying how to authorize drone operators to spray product. “If you look at the history of drones, that’s probably a short-term barrier,” Morris says. “It’s going to happen, just a matter of when.” 001529533r1

High-value North Dakota farm McM liquidates RRV farmer sends shockwaves By Mikkel Pates Forum News Service ST. THOMAS, N.D. — One of North Dakota’s largest high-value crop farms has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fargo. McM Inc., based in St. Thomas, N.D., north of Grand Forks, on Feb. 10 filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. The farm is one of the largest farms of high-value specialty crops in the region, including about 39,000 acres, with about 2,000 acres of sugar beets and about 4,200 acres of non-irrigated potatoes in 2016. President Ron McMartin Jr., 50, lives in Grand Forks. In November, McMartin — a large producer of red potatoes and once the largest sugar beet producer in the region — indicated he was simply down-scaling his operation and had no plans to exit the field in interviews with Forum News Service. McMartin didn’t immediately return phone messages left with him and with colleagues. His attorney, Jon R. Brakke, declined comment. McMartin had farmed up to 59,000 acres in 2012 and at one time was the No. 1 sugar beet farmer in the region with a total of 11,000 acres. He also raises dry beans, corn, soybeans and spring wheat. In November, he said the farm had grossed about $35 million in crops, which was down from a peak of $45 million in crops during the high commodity prices about five years ago.

McMartin’s rise McMartin grew his farm in the 1990s when farmers ran into problems with fusarium head blight in wheat and some sought to expand into sugar beets and other crops. Other acres came to him when sugar beet producers near the Red River shifted their acres to him in joint ventures in the late 1990s during flood times. Since 2003, McMartin had shifted away from beets and into red table stock potatoes. In 2007, he also rented 5,000 acres of land in the Kindred, N.D., area that became available in a land rental auction. The company recently had shifted its beet acres to a farm centered in the Grand Forks area, where he grew about 2,000 acres of beets, which is not a large figure. McMartin in late October interviews was upbeat about the future of the

McM Inc. filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Fargo, N.D. farm but alarmed at what he said were incorrect rumors about his demise in farming. Weather conditions were horrible in the northern Red River Valley in 2016, and McMartin said returns for sugar beets were poor but returns for some other crops were better than he’d expected. “We’re trying to do what every farmer in the Red River Valley is trying to do: trying to make sense with a very challenging time,” he said. “We’re changing crop mix, land base, input resources, changing everything we can to make things perform better,” he said. “Whether we’re going to have success, I can’t say, but all I can do is try.”

COVER STORY

Using regenerative agriculture to rebuild what has been lost By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer ESTELLINE, S.D. – You can see it from the road: the year-old Blue Dasher Farm LLC research laboratory is right on the east side of I-29 at the Brandt, S.D., exit. High-visibility is the perfect metaphor for what founder Jonathan Lundgren describes as “regenerative” farming practices. Lundgren, 41, is an entomologist who resigned from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in a dispute about research openness. There are various definitions for regenerative farming. To Lundgren, it means a focus on soil health, biodiversity conservation, “nutrient density of the food produced,” and profitability. Lundgren is director of the Ecdysis Foundation, a nonprofit research and education company. Ecdysis is the term for shedding skin, during metamorphosis in insects. The 53-acre Blue Dasher Farm is envisioned as a “branch site,” to be associated with a future national network of centers for excellence. “We’re trying to use science, education and demonstration” to promote “regenerative” agriculture, Lundgren says, a year into his venture. “By planting these into communities, by interacting directly with farmers and beekeepers and ranchers themselves, that’s how we’re going to rebuild what we’ve lost.”

“A high-risk specialty”

Lundgren is a national and world story. He is a former senior research entomologist and lab supervisor with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service at Brookings, S.D. He made news when he quit the agency after a dispute in which he claimed the government was trying to suppress his discussion of research. Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, based in Silver Spring, Md., is representing Lundgren in a whistleblower complaint that comes up in March before the Merits Systems Protection Board, and from there potentially to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The group is working to restore payments for the periods Lundgren was suspended for publishing

on monarch butterflies from neonicotinoid insecticides. He also claims he was unfairly punished for a travel paperwork irregularity. “Politics inside USDA have made entomology a high-risk specialty,” said Laura Dumais, his PEER lawyer. In a separate but related matter, PEER is suing the USDA in a case in which Lundgren is the basis for the group’s standing to revise the Scientific Integrity Policy for USDA. The case was dismissed as “moot” after Lundgren’s resignation, but PEER recently filed a notice of in intent to appeal on grounds that Lundgren is applying for USDA grants. That case is likely to play itself into spring or summer, says Jeff Ruch, executive director of PEER. Lundgren’s willingness to speak out has been honored by several organizations. In late 2015, he won the Joe A. Callaway Award for Civic Courage from the Shafeek Nader Trust for the Community Interest. The award recognizes people “who, with integrity and at some personal risk, take a public stand to advance truth and justice, and who challenge unsatisfactory conditions in pursuit of the common good.” Lundgren also recently received the Friend of the Farmer award, conferred by the Northern Plains Sustainable Agriculture Society at their winter conference in Aberdeen, S.D.

Four concepts

Lundgren’s definition of regenerative farming includes four general concepts. The first is no-till farming, which means “never.” “Tillage disrupts the basis of your operation and tillage is very hard on that biology,” he says. The second concept is “Always leave a living root in the ground.” The third is “More plant diversity is better than less.” The fourth is “Integrate animals back into cropping operations.” “Those four principles you can do an awful lot with — by stacking enterprises and making a farm profitable again,” Lundgren says. In 2016, Blue Dasher Farm planted 12 acres of its 53 acres to borage and Hubam sweet clover to be sold for seed. “This wasn’t corn and soybean

I’d rather make money by the pound than by the bushel,” he says. These are two crops for conservation mixes and for intercropping species. “We can support other farmers who are interested in doing this while making a premium on our own ground,” he says. “They also happen to be some of the best honey producing plants that we know of.” The 12 acres had been in the Conservation Reserve Program for the previous dozen years. Blue Dasher burned the grasses and used a partial rate of glyphosate and Select herbicide to hold back the grass resurgence. They planted the annual borage and Hubam sweetclover into the living grass. Last year Lundgren had a goal of making $1,000 per acre in net profit. The acreage produced 230 to 300 pounds of seed per acre. Lundgren says input costs were less than $500, yielding a $500 per acre profit. “We didn’t make it,” he says. “We only made $500 an acre, but that’s still a helluva lot better than growing corn and soybeans right now.” He hopes to get $2,500 an acre on the entire farm in 2017. The farm started a perennial orchard system this year on five to 10 acres. They have apples, pears, apricots, peaches, cherries and plums. These came from

Norm’s Greenhouse and Nursery in Brookings, which has been helpful in identifying species hardy enough for the area. The farm added egg production from 25 hens and will expand to 100 hens in 2017. They’ll introduce hair sheep for meat and weed grazing and will use those species as “tools to replace other input costs like herbicides.”

The front edge

Lundgren’s wife, Jenna, is the office manager and co-director of Ecdysis, with a bachelor’s degree in biology. They have a daughter and son in their teens who work with poultry and other chores associated with the farm. Farmers and beekeepers directly have offered financial support, and people around the world helped bankroll their research facility. Hundreds of people donated small amounts, Lundgren says, and the donations “are still rolling in.” The farm offers a newsletter, blogs and memberships. Lundgren gives lab tours to students, featuring his Madagascar hissing roaches and curly-haired tarantulas. Blue Dasher Farm offers a location for field study for graduate students and interns from South Dakota State University, technical colleges and other institutions throughout the country and world. They are working

to get an intern from France this year. Lundgren acknowledges the research facility so far doesn’t boast any equipment that students couldn’t find on a campus, but they do offer a “focus.” When he started Blue Dasher Farm, Lundgren says he quickly realized he had a lot to learn. “I’ve never been a commercial beekeeper, and I’ve never been a farmer,” Lundgren says. “I’ve learned more this year than I think I have in my entire career as a scientist. Absolutely spectacular: all of the different skill sets you need in order to do what I’ve been talking about, for as long as I have.” He says science can offer data to farmers about new techniques, but he says data doesn’t always drive the decision-making. “If data was all that was important we’d all be wearing our seat belts. We’d all be eating six fruits and vegetables every day,” he says. Lundgren refers to university studies that indicate farmers in Illinois and elsewhere may produce corn and soybeans at a loss. “I was talking to a local banker who said farmers are raising cattle at a $500 per cow loss right now. What’s going on? We’ve got to do something different, because the farmers aren’t the ones making money at this point.”

Farmers becoming hopeful for future, just not tomorrow By Jake Shama Forum News Service HURON, S.D. — Farmers are becoming increasingly optimistic about the future of their industry, but they see the near future as fairly bleak. A recent survey showed 71 percent of producers expected widespread good times over the next five years, a significant increase from October when 35 percent of producers expected a better future. James Mintert, director of Purdue University’s Center for Commercial Agriculture, presented those results to a crowd of about 140 people Wednesday at the 18th annual Precision Agriculture Conference, hosted by South Dakota State University Extension, in Huron. CCA has conducted surveys of about 400 farmers every month since October 2015. Mintert said the election of Republican Donald Trump as president has had an effect on the recent results. “People tend to be more optimistic about the future, the more distant future, than the current situation of agriculture, which we think reflects some of the stress going on with respect to agriculture, the downturn in the commodity prices we’ve experienced,” Mintert said. In addition, 39 percent of survey respondents expected to be better off financially in one year, compared to 11 percent at the end of 2015 and 17 percent in October 2016. That means about 2 out of 5 farmers expect to improve financially in the next 12 months, but the survey also showed about two-thirds think now is a bad time to buy buildings, machinery and other large investments. The number hasn’t changed much since October 2015, and that could further delay the adoption of precision agriculture technology for some producers. Precision agriculture is a way of managing farms for the best production and economics, said Laura Edwards, state climatologist with SDSU Extension. That can include adopting automated and GPS technologies to plant seeds more efficiently

and evenly apply fertilizer. More retailers are providing precision ag services, Mintert said. Only 12 percent were offering grid- or zonesoil sampling in 2000, but 41 percent offered it in 2015, with 54 percent expected in 2018. Satellite imagery offerings have also grown from 3 percent to an expected 28 percent. Producers have followed suit, using GPS in their yield monitors and guidance systems at an expected rate of 59 and 64 percent, as estimated by retailers. That’s a large uptick from 5 to 15 percent, respectively, in 2005, but Mintert said precision agriculture technology hasn’t caught on as quickly as other developments, including hybrid corn and Roundup Ready soybeans. Mintert believes people adopted the genetic modifications more easily because the change was as simple as buying a different bag of seeds and produced immediate, obvious benefits. “Precision ag isn’t quite that simple if you want to get the benefits,” Mintert said. Precision agriculture technology can be expensive, and it may not create an obvious increase in yields, but for a 2,000-acre corn farm, Mintert estimated an operation could invest $11,000 in equipment and receive a return of $17,800 by planting and using fertilizer more efficiently. “The investment rule is if net present value is greater than the initial cost of investment, make the investment. It’s a good investment,” Mintert said. But because precision agriculture can help producers avoid double planting and wasting seeds, some area farmers said the technology helped increase their yields, too. Brett Anderson, of Groton; Brock Edgar, of Rockham; Louie Nigg, of Peever, and Lee Lichty, of Wessington, sat on a panel following Mintert’s presentation to explain how adopting precision agriculture technologies benefited their operations. “We probably over doubled our yields on our corn, so that by itself paid for it in one year,” Edgar said.

She said it takes no more time to focus on the positive energy than it does drama; you just have to redirect your thoughts to the good and not focus on the bad. Plus you’re healthier, mind, body and spirit, if you do. Then, because her program is focused on the “whole person,” she applied that lesson to the grocery cart, explaining that you’re going shopping for food anyway, so it takes no more energy to add good, healthy foods to your cart than it does to add what might not be the best food for

your wellness. Redirecting energy is one of the lost arts in life. Yoga is one good way to practice. Or, if you’re me, you can apply the three principles we strive to work through no matter the circumstance: awareness, empathy and presentation. We teach these principles to our ranch interns and our kids, and we try to utilize them on a daily basis in every interaction — be it with horses, colleagues or cows. When put into practice, becoming aware of the energy you’re putting off, where it

came from and how it got to the point that you feel angry or sad truly helps you learn to redirect your thoughts. One of the things I struggle with the most when it comes to “the art of the redirect” is when riding colts. Their energy isn’t a bad thing. It’s life in them, and you absolutely don’t want to kill it. You just have to put it to work for you and keep them tuned in to what you want or need from the ride. You have to effectively become their leader and keep them — and by default, you — out of trouble. You have to be aware of how the colt feels under you, what he might be noticing or thinking, empathize with what he might be thinking or feeling, and realize how you’re presenting yourself to him. If

you’re gruff or short or have a bad attitude, he’s likely going to want little to nothing to do with you. If you’re quiet as a mouse with the temperament of Casper Milquetoast, he may decide you’re incapable of being a competent leader. But if you’re kind and thoughtful, with an easy going confidence about you, he’s quite likely to jump on board. Handling colts is not much different than what some parents do with their kids. They redirect the negative energy or bad behavior before it becomes unruly. With the short attention span of a toddler, it’s pretty easy to change their mind with a distraction or a different toy, if you’re aware of the situation soon enough. But you have to be empathetic in your timing and your attitude

in doing so. This works for everyone and everything if you’re willing to put in the time to change your thoughts or actions. It’s good for colts, for kids, for dogs, for cows, for people and for the drama that may pop up in your life. As for me, I’m going to keep practicing good rides on my colts in my mind so that it’s second nature for me when I’m on them in real life. And as I continue to operate this way in the rest of my life, doing it for my colts will be even easier. Have you learned “the art of the redirect”? Is this approach news to you? Or do you feel like it’s a life-long journey? Editor’s note: Zeller is a South Dakota cattle rancher who raises Angus, Brangus and Quarter Horses with her husband and his family.

TAIT & KATE TAKE IT RURAL

Rural banking and you: 6 reasons to keep it local

mall town and community banks are fabulous! In these days of bank consolidations, many of our neighborhood and small town banks are going away — disappearing quickly into the world of anonymous, faceless, and dispassionate corporate-ness. We all know we can bank KATY online, but it’s KASSIAN so impersonal. We need that personal relationship with our bankers — it’s important for so many reasons. For one, our local bankers are anything but anonyANNETTE mous, faceless TAIT entities. These folks serve on committees and

boards, volunteer in the community and so much more. Secondly, most local lenders will tell you that they have served multiple generations of the same families and plan to well into the future. They know us. And our folks. And our grandparents, uncles, cousins, kids and dogs. And we know them. We know their kids, their golf scores, what they donated to the silent auction and their favorite tractor color. Which brings us to reason No. 3: We know that our local bankers know a business on Main Street is a good business, and that an empty building has no value. We know that, for the health of the community, they will do their best to help us become entrepreneurs, farmers and business owners, or to pursue other dreams. Fourth, our local banks understand that approving that loan for the café is still a win, even if the building isn’t worth the cost of equip-

ment as collateral. They also understand that it will take longer to pay off that same equipment in a small town because the customer base is much smaller. But they will still do their best to give the loan. Fifth, we know we can call our banker any time or chat with him at the grocery store. We rarely need appointments and often share a table with them. We also love that — so long as we’ve kept our noses clean — when we get in a pinch, we can usually call the bank and the money will be there. No questions. Reason No. 6: At the same time we also know our banker will hold us accountable. And that he won’t pull any punches. If he thinks we’re headed for trouble, he’ll tell us. Flat out, with no beating around the bush. Since the beginning, rural and small town bankers have stood right beside us, through the good times and bad. Most smaller banks or local

Now, I am sure that’s true of the giant megabanks, too — but we still believe the bulk of those big bank customers do not actually know their banker, and their bankers don’t know them. If you don’t know each other, how can you build

the kind of relationship that makes things happen? You can’t. Don’t be an account number on a ledger sheet. Be a face with a name. Work with a local banker who has your — and your community’s — best interests at heart. Editor’s note: Learn more about Tait and Kate by visiting their blog at taitandkate.com.

US legislators want businesses to do more to verify undocumented workers But the proposals bring out a wide variety of opposition and a complex mix of concerns. Many employers in the agricultural industry say they may be unknowingly hiring unauthorized workers, but fear the industry would crash without foreign labor. And employers that hire people short term and don’t rely on computers fear a new burden will be imposed on them. Sponsors of the bills say they are simply trying to turn off the immigration spigot. But if the laws succeed as the sponsors hope, some businesses are worried. More than 40 percent of farmworkers are foreign-born, and Kristi Boswell of the American Farm Bureau Federation said many of them are thought to be undocumented. She said farmers collect documents from workers but don’t always know if they are fake. “We need access to foreign-born

labor in the form of a visa program and an adjustment of [legal] status for people who are already here that are experienced workers on the farm,” she said. In the states that require private businesses to use E-Verify, the law hasn’t had the effects lawmakers were hoping for or that businesses feared. According to a report from the libertarian Cato Institute, which compared the number of new hires in a state to the number of queries in E-Verify, new employees are being run through the system only about half of the time in four states that require private businesses to use the system. Tamar Jacoby, president of ImmigrationWorks USA, said the laws can act as a deterrent. “Some of the people that used to apply with fake documents aren’t applying anymore,” she said. And that can make it more difficult for employers to find workers. That was the case for many farmers

Rebecca Beitsch Stateline WASHINGTON, D.C. — Legislators in several states are looking to crack down on illegal immigration in one of the few ways they can: by requiring businesses to more thoroughly verify that applicants are authorized to work in the U.S. They want to require businesses, or at least those that contract with state or local government, to run potential hires through the federal E-Verify system, an internet portal that checks whether people are authorized to work in the U.S. or are using fake documents to apply for jobs. Businesses already are required by federal law to check that those who have been offered a job are authorized to work in the U.S. But they aren’t required to use E-Verify. The legislation proposed demands that employers use the federal system to try to vouch for their ability to work legally.

in Georgia when the state required private employers to use E-Verify in 2011. Many seasonal workers passed through the state for opportunities elsewhere. The Georgia Department of Agriculture reported a shortage of more than 11,000 workers at the time, and a University of Georgia survey found that 78 percent of farmers had trouble finding workers that year. Tas Smith of the Georgia Farm Bureau said some farmers tried to get laborers through a farmworker visa program, but having to supply transportation and housing was cost-prohibitive for most farmers, especially when workers may only be needed for a few weeks. Now an entire block of the Southeast requires E-Verify, except for Florida, and Smith said the initial panic has eased.

big reduction in its used equipment inventory. Titan Machinery’s restructuring is meant to improve customer service, especially as farms and machinery become more complex, and make better use of the company’s scale and expertise, Bowman said. Proximity to other Titan stores was one key reason for some of the closures, Bowman said, such as a small store within 20 of another in-network dealer. “We’re sort of looking at it as we’re reducing rooftops, but our footprint stays the same,” he said, adding the company will remain committed to serving the same towns and local markets with field service trucks, deliveries and more. After the consolidation is complete, the company will have 75 stores in 11 U.S. states, as well as 20 European stores. Titan’s two stores in Fargo and three in Moorhead will remain open, as will 24 other stores across Minnesota and North Dakota. As part of the restructuring, the company’s management structure also will be revamped and streamlined to become more efficient. The plan is expected to reduce overall annual revenues by about $40 million, or less than 4 percent, while trimming expenses about $25 million and boosting adjusted pre-tax income by about $16 million per year. Bowman said he didn’t yet know how many employees will be affected or lose their jobs. Many will be offered positions at nearby locations, but some might not want a longer daily commute, and not everyone will be moved to another store.

Trump administration sued over delay of protection for rusty patched bumble bee By Laura Zuckerman Reuters SALMON, Idaho — An environmental group sued President Donald Trump’s administration on Feb. 14 for delaying a rule that would designate the rusty patched bumble bee as an endangered species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a branch of the Interior Department, in September proposed bringing the bee under federal safeguards. The rule formalizing the listing of the vanishing pollinator, once widely found in the Upper Midwest and Northeastern United States, was published in the Federal Register on Jan. 11 and was to take effect last Friday. The Natural Resources Defense Council said the listing has been delayed until March 21 as part of a broader

freeze ordered by Trump’s White House on rules issued by the prior administration aimed at protecting public health and the environment. The group argued in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that U.S. wildlife managers had violated the law by abruptly suspending the bumble bee listing without public notice or comment. They said the rule technically became final when it was published in the Federal Register. The lawsuit seeks to have a judge declare that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service acted unlawfully and to order the agency to rescind the rule delaying the bumble bee’s listing. “The science is clear — this species is headed toward extinction, and soon. There is

no legitimate reason to delay federal protections,” Natural Resources Defense Council senior attorney Rebecca Riley said in a statement. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could not immediately be reached for comment. Bumble bees pollinate wildflowers and about a third of U.S. crops, from blueberries to tomatoes, according to the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. The bee’s population and range have declined by more than 90 percent since the late 1990s due to disease, pesticides, climate change and habitat loss, according to wildlife officials. The insect is one of 47 varieties of native bumble bees in the United States and Canada, more than a quarter of which face the risk of

In September, seven varieties of yellow-faced bees in Hawaii became the first such

insects to be added to the U.S. list of endangered species because of losses due to habitat destruction, wildfires and the invasion of nonnative plants and insects.

Noem seeks crop insurance revisions for next Farm Bill By Evan Hendershot Forum News Service WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem is hoping to see the next iteration of the Farm Bill get kicked over to the Senate well in advance of its expiration. The Agriculture Act of 2014, commonly known as the Farm Bill, is set to expire after the 2018 fiscal year, but Noem said Wednesday that discussion to renew the act is about to heat up. “Because of a three-year decline in farm income, he has made it very clear that they want to move quite quickly and get this Farm Bill passed on time and not let any policy expire,” Noem said during a media call, referencing talks with House Agriculture Committee Chair U.S. Rep. Mike Conaway. The Farm Bill supports a wide swath of programs, most notably crop insurance and conservation services, and Noem said the House

Republicans’ goal is to move the bill to the Senate by the end of the year. When the bill was approved by a 68-32 Senate vote in 2014, it was backed by both U.S. Sen. John Thune and former U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson, of South Dakota. This time around, Noem expects to see some attention given to the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program that’s concerned some of her fellow South Dakota farmers. “I’ve heard from a lot of folks across South Dakota that the ARC program needs some revisions, so we’ll have good debate on the committees to do that,” Noem said. In 2015, the ARC-County program was causing some unhappiness for South Dakotans. The program eliminated the statewide guarantees farmers had become used to, shifting in favor of targeted payments based on county yields. In some extreme cases, two

producers with land in neighboring counties received vastly different crop insurance returns. For example, Clay County farmers received $2.76 per bushel of corn for 2014 yields while neighboring Union County received $84.11 per bushel for the first year of the new Farm Bill. Aside from continuing to improve crop insurance programs, Noem expects “safety net” services like disaster relief will join conservation program expansion as the top priorities during Farm Bill discussions. And by kicking off the discussion early, Noem sees a window of opportunity to get the deal done prior to the Farm Bill’s expiration. “But I think because we’re sitting in a position where we’re starting earlier on this Farm Bill — we’ve never stopped the education process since the last one, and the new members we’ve already started talking to — I

think we are in a good position to get the next Farm Bill completed,” Noem said. Noem also spoke about two other ag-related issues on Wednesday. Shortly after his inauguration in January, President Donald Trump pulled out of the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement. Despite Trump giving the TPP the boot, Noem remained optimistic about the Trump administration’s intentions to instead pursue bilateral trade agreements. “So I’m hopeful that even though the TPP doesn’t look like it had a strong future, that doesn’t necessarily mean the negotiations are stopping,” said Noem. The fourth-term Republican representative, who’s also running for governor in 2018, also answered questions about Mexican Sen. Armando Rios Piter’s statement he would introduce

legislation to buy corn from Brazil and Argentina rather than the U.S. Noem speculated the move could be “retaliation” for recent rhetoric. Rios Piter’s intentions were announced after a Trump campaign fueled in part by repeated calls for the creation of a strengthened U.S.-Mexico border wall, which he claims Mexico will pay for. “But our hope is that Mexico recognizes the reliance on us and the affordability of our commodities,” Noem said. “We look at our trade agreements as opportunities to continue to sell more and more of those commodities to other countries, and that’s why we are focusing on new countries all the time, too.” In the wake of Rios Piter’s statements, Noem said she didn’t want recent discussions to distract from creating fair and accessible markets and fulfilling the world’s food needs.

Cattle summary

Sheep summary

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to 5.00 lower, with some instances 1.00-2.00 higher on 600-700 lb weights. Southeastern calves traded steady to 3.00 higher and feeder cattle were steady to 3.00 lower. Demand remains very good for light weight calves, and moderate to good for feeders. The spring like weather is creating a lot of interest for grass calves, with buyers continuing to be very aggressive for longtime weaned calves suitable for summer grazing programs as their availability is declining. Producers are also interested in buying good, high quality replacement heifers to improve their herds. In Valentine, NE several loads of 6 and 7 weight yearling heifers sold at a premium from 935.00-1125.00 per head. On the other hand, all of the excitement from last week dwindled for the feeder market as order buyers were cautious and reluctant to pay more for cattle as profit potential looks lower in the live cattle futures for the summer months. Feedlot operators have been profitable and are simply trying to play it safe by penciling out current feeders to fit the lower months ahead. Over the weekend, parts of the southern plains and Midwest saw unseasonably warm weather with some locations seeing record breaking temperatures. The unusual warmth has winter wheat growing again and field work spotted in areas where it’s not common for this time of year. The mild weather is expected to continue through next week. Particular areas remain abnormally dry, with some chances of moisture in the forecast for the coming weekend for the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma, which would provide relief. With spring approaching fast, farmers and ranchers are hoping to see much needed moisture in the coming months for planting and grazing cattle. Feedlot trade finally occurred Friday morning on moderate demand in the southern plains. Compared to last week, live sales were steady at 120.00, with a few early sales reported 1.00 lower in Kansas at 119.00. Trade and demand was moderate in Nebraska, with live sales trading steady to 1.00 higher as compared to last week at 120.00. Dressed sales sold steady at 190.00. Colorado live sales were steady to 50 cents higher at 120.00-120.50. A few early live sales in Iowa traded 1.00-2.00 higher at 119.00-120.00, while dressed sales were steady at 190.00. In the Fed Cattle Exchange 1,556 head were sold, out of 4,800 offered on Wednesday. Most of the cattle sold were in the southern plains with prices reported from 118.50-119.25. Pen conditions continue to be poor in the northern plains as temperatures remain warmer than usual, creating muddy conditions. Choice boxed beef closed the week at 190.49, up 2.86 and Select at 189.24, up 3.59 from last Friday’s close.

Changes in USDA report mostly supportive By Alex Norton Beeson Inc. CRESTWOOD, Ky. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture released its monthly estimates for supply and demand in the World Agriculture Supply & Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. Usually in the winter, changes are minimal as the Northern Hemisphere production cycle has concluded and supplies are mostly known. Some changes to feed or export usage can drive prices if alterations occur from the previous report. In the February report, adjustments to U.S. wheat exports and global wheat supplies were modestly supportive. But the lack of major market drivers points to the fact that the market’s focus is now on new crop (expectations for acreage planted as well as weather patterns) and some demand factors (such as export, feed and biofuel demand).

Wheat Wheat markets remain firm. From a fundamental perspective, supplies are still quite large domestically and abroad. The USDA did lower total world wheat stocks on some production shortfalls in Kazakhstan, though Australia just announced record production for the year. The bigger issue is the coming wheat crop. Planted area for winter wheat is at a 97-year low in the U.S., and dryness throughout the winter is beginning to be a



concern as the crop will soon exit dormancy. Some rain is expected to fall in the coming week, but this must be realized and continue into March to prevent a production shortfall.

Durum The durum market has maintained its quiet tone for another week. With the market well supplied, even with some strength in wheat, prices for durum have not changed significantly for several months. In the monthly WASDE report, the USDA did not make any changes to the 2016-17 durum balance sheet. Ending stocks held at a comfortable 52 million bushels (compared to 28 million bushels in 201516).

Canola Canola prices are stuck between opposing fundamental forces. On the one hand, large production from South America’s expected record soybean

crop is putting pressure on all oils. Additionally, longer-term outlook for palm oil production is improved as El Niño dryness has worked its way through the output cycle. On the other hand, some lingering woes over the canola left in the field because of rains in October during harvest time and strong demand is supportive. Look for some price pressure to follow as Brazilian production hits the world market.

Peas & Lentils Much of the pulse market’s focus is on India. As the top consumer and importer, as well as a major grower, buying patterns and policy decisions shape the market in a big way. This week, the Indian Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA) argued to the government that the ban on pulse exports should be lifted. This ban was put in place during a drought in 2006-07, to assure food supplies were adequate for the huge population. The circumstances have changed, however, as pulse production should surpass 21 million metric tons in the 2016-17 crop year. This large supply situation has saturated the domestic market and could lead to farmers receiving less than the minimum support price. Additionally, the rabi crop planting efforts are now complete, with farmers sowing 15.97 million hectares

to pulses compared to 14.37 million hectares last year, but shy of the record 16.19 million hectares in 201314. Even with below record planting for the rabi crop, combined with the kharif crop, total area is an annual record at 30.56 million hectares. From a local pulse perspective, consumption has been down in Canada. From August through the end of 2016, 118,000 metric tons of lentils have been sold, compared to 190,000 metric tons last year and the average 136,000 metric tons. On top of that, lentil exports during the same period totaled 1.44 million metric tons, which is a 90,000 metric ton drop from the previous year.

Mustard

Mustard seed export movement has been slow, of late. The Canadian Grains Commission (CGC) reported just 200 metric tons cleared through reporting terminals. This brings total shipments to date to 10,600 metric tons, compared to 9,800 metric tons a year ago.

Barley

There has been little information to drive the barley market. The USDA held stocks at a comfortable 103 million bushels for the 2016-17 crop year, right in line with 2015-16, in the February WASDE report.

MARKETS

Markets back off after reaching 7 month highs Wheat

A Feb. 16 Bloomberg report said planted Russian wheat has “survived most of the cold season without major damage.” Early estimates by researchers call for the second largest crop on record at 67 to 67.5 million tons. Last year Russia produced 73.3 million tons. This news pressured the wheat complex as it was reaching seven-month highs. The most important technical chart number for wheat contracts was $4.55 March Chicago. This is the 200-day moving average. We traded up to $4.55 in Feb. 17 trade, but could not manage to close above it. The bears won this technical battle as heavy selling came in at this level. March options will expire Feb. 24. The highest percentage of put and call volume is between $4.20 and $4.30 on the March Chicago contract. The board can be pretty notorious for moving to higher volume option levels as those options reach expiration. Monday’s export inspections were among the lowest of the past year, so U.S. wheat is getting more expensive on the world market at these sevenmonth highs. The strength in the Russian Ruble is offsetting thoughts of Russia running away with exports though. The Ruble is 27 percent higher than a year ago. U.S. weekly export inspections were 11.3 million bushels for the week ending Feb. 9. This was below the 14.2 million bushels for the same week a year ago. Inspections for 2016-17 total 654 million bushels, up 26 percent from the previous year and below USDA’s projected increase of 32 percent. Export sales totaled 21.6 million bushels with 20.9 million bushels for the 2016-17 marketing year. This was above the 10.3 million bushels needed this week to be on pace with USDA’s February demand projection of 1.025 billion bushels. Weekly shipments of 14.3 million bushels were below the 23.3 million bushels needed in this week’s report. Australia announced the 2016-17 wheat production at a record 35.13 million metric tons. This was up from 33 million metric tons estimated by USDA in last week’s WASDE report. In the Feb. 9 monthly WASDE report USDA raised 2016-17 wheat exports 50 million bushels to 1.025 billion bushels. That lowered projected ending stocks to 1.139 billion bushels, down 47 million from last month’s expectations. Stocks remain the largest since the 1980s. World stocks declined 4.7 million metric tons to 248.6 million metric tons. For the week ending Feb. 16, March contracts for Minneapolis wheat were down 20.75 cents at $5.50, down 1.25 cents at $4.4775 for Chicago wheat, and down 2.5 cents at $4.58 for Kansas City wheat.

Corn

Corn prices saw some strength midweek but lost those gains as the week went on. Corn saw a reversal and followed soybeans down as both were at the top end of their recent trading ranges. March corn backed off $3.80 again and has not found support above that price. New crop corn did break through the $4 mark this week but is currently back below that price. Exports were once again strong in this week’s reports and continue to give the corn market support. Last Friday’s Commitments of Traders report showed the funds long 28,800

 contracts, the largest since July. Corn continues to show a slight uptrend with higher highs and higher lows. For the week ending Thursday, March corn was down 1 cent and December corn was down 0.25 cents. Weather remains non-threatening for most of South America. They are getting timely rains at a critical time as their crop season is at the equivalent of our mid-August crop timeframe in the U.S. Safrina planting has had a few sporadic minor rain delays, but plantings are still ahead of pace. Private estimates in South America continue to show improving production estimates. The latest pegs corn production at 86 million metric tons, unchanged from previous estimates, and Argentina up 2 million metric tons to 3 million metric tons. One negative factor that could come into the market is the U.S. threat to back out of trade deals like the North American Free Trade Agreement, as the U.S. exports a fair amount of corn to Mexico. So far, the Mexico situation has not deteriorated to a point where it has affected ag exports, but there certainly is a lot of sable rattling going on. Corn weekly export inspections were 49.4 million bushels the week ending Feb. 9. This is above 27.5 million bushels for the same week a year ago. Inspections are up 77 percent from the previous year and well above USDA’s projected 17 percent demand increase. Weekly export sales of corn showed a total of 42.1 million bushels with 30.8 million bushels for the 2016-2017 marketing year. This was above the 20.8 million bushels needed this week to be on pace with USDA’s February demand projection of 2.225 billion bushels. Ethanol stocks continue to rise and are at the highest they have been since March 2016. Ethanol production for the week ending Feb. 10 averaged 1.04 million barrels per day. This is down 1.42 percent versus last week and up 6.67 percent versus last year. Stocks as of Feb. 10 were up 1.88 percent versus last week and down 3.09 percent versus last year. Corn used in last week’s production is estimated at 109.2 million bushels. Corn use needs to average 99.026 million bushels per week to meet this crop year’s USDA estimate of 5.35 billion bushels. The 200-day moving average of $3.675 is first support. The 50-day moving average is $3.5775 and the 100-day moving average is $3.5525 for the March contract. There is good underlying support at these levels. Resistance is the recent high of $3.80.

Soybeans

Soybeans backed off this week as they hit resistance after closing at their highest price in

over a month. Strong demand and large Brazilian yields continue to battle over the direction of this market. Demand for soybeans remains the leading news and has helped soybeans keep their upward trend going. Export sales were strong again last week and demand for U.S. soybeans has not yet been erased by South American harvest pressure and Brazil’s ports that are filling up. The Brazilian real continues to drift higher and is at highs last seen in June 2015. This continues to slow farmers selling in Brazil and is keeping U.S. soybeans competitive on the global market. For the week ending Feb. 16, March soybeans were down 15 cents and November soybeans were 6 cents lower. Brazil weather continues to lean favorable for row crop development. Scattered rains are expected to fall in central Argentina in the 10-day forecast which could renew flooding concerns in some areas. South American weather forecasts have shifted now to a dry forecast in Brazil the next 7 days. Temperatures are above normal in Argentina the next 14 days and below normal in Brazil, which has been a steady pattern most of their summer. Mato Grosso’s soybean harvest is at 52 percent, well above average pace. All of Brazil’s soy harvest is at 18-20 percent versus 11-13 percent on average. Palm oil futures fell to a new 12-week low on Thursday night. This is also putting pressure on the vegetable oils. Soybean meal demand remains strong. The NOPA Crush report showed that the January crush was 160.21 million bushels versus estimate average of 159.1 million bushels, well above estimates. The soy oil stocks were 1.629 billion pounds versus estimate average of 1.51 billion pounds. This was also above average estimates and much larger than the trade was anticipating. These soy oil numbers were not so supportive, and we have seen weakness in this market after the report.

Canola

For the week ending Feb. 16, canola March futures in Winnipeg were down $6.50 (Canadian) to $521.30 per metric ton (Canadian). The Canadian dollar traded up .0009 at 0.7652. This brings the U.S. price to $18.09 per hundredweight. Cash bids in Velva, N.D., were $17.74 per hundredweight for February and $17.74 for March. Enderlin, N.D., bids were $18.33 for February and $18.47 for March. Hallock, Minn., bids were $17.92 for February and $18.13 for March. Fargo, N.D. bids were $18.40 for February and $18.50 for March.

Barley

Cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $2, while malting barley received no quote. Berthold bid is $2, and CHS Southwest bid is at $2.75 in New Salem, N.D.

Durum

Cash bids for milling quality durum are $6.50 in Berthold and in Dickinson.

Sunflower

Cash sunflower bids in Fargo were at $14.70 for February and $14.80 for March. For the week ending Feb. 16, soybean oil was $1.06 lower at $33.52 on the March contract.

American Crystal, union to talk in April Both want to avoid repeat of lockout By Mikkel Pates Agweek Staff Writer MOORHEAD, Minn. — American Crystal Sugar Co. in Moorhead, Minn., says it has settled on dates starting in mid-April for talks with the factory union on a labor contract that expires July 31. Lisa Borgen, Crystal vice president of administration, confirmed the agreement with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers local union, which provides for several dates in months leading to the end of the contract. “But we’re hoping we’ll settle early so that everyone can get on with our daily work,” she emphasized. American Crystal has about 1,200 employees in the union contract, located primarily at its sugar beet processing and refinery locations at Moorhead, East Grand Forks and Crookston in Minnesota and at Hillsboro and Drayton in North Dakota, as well as a handful of workers at storage facilities in Iowa and Minneapolis. John Riskey, president of the BCTGM local in Grand Forks, acknowledged that talks would start the third week of April: “Like we have in the past we’ll go to the table, like we always have, to get a fair agreement for our members and for American Crystal Sugar.” Borgen says that settling on the negotiation dates is “heartening,” and that the company is “looking at this as a very positive move.” Borgen denied rumors that the company is already starting to train workers that would step in as replacement workers in the case of a labor impasse. She acknowledged, however, the company has a responsibility to its farmer-shareholders to make sure they are able to continue operating the plants so that processing of perishable beets isn’t interrupted. The company is “exploring our options” with companies whose business is to run manufacturing companies or other bargaining unit companies when there is a strike or a lockout, she says. “I think our employees are aware that we’ve had those companies in, walking through our facilities, but we have not retained a company,” she says. “Our goal is to keep our people in

our plants. We believe they are the best in industry.” Since 2015, American Crystal has been making overtures to workers about efforts to make a new contract. The union complained about these overtures to the National Labor Rela-

tions Board, but the complaints were dismissed or settled but with no finding of direct-dealing. The company earlier proposed a contract extension that included 3 percent annual base pay increases for the next five years, shift pay improvements

beneficial to workers, pension increases and $2,500 signing bonuses. There is no offer on the table now. The company has said it doesn’t want a repeat of the schedule that produced a July 31, 2011, lockout of workers.

FOOD AND SWINE

THE $3,000 PIE

n the buffet of misinformation that graces social media about food and farming, farmers and their real life accounts are the most valuable menu offering for consumers looking for truth. After many servings of fear and sensationalism, especially when it comes to food, people are looking for a slice of reality and comfort. Much like a slice of Grandma’s pie, comforting and appreciated, so are the real life accounts of farmers, their families, and daily occurrences of farm life. This reality comes as a breath of CRISTEN fresh air for people CLARK who are generations removed from the farm, but find themselves looking for more information when it comes to the food they are feeding their families. The revelation that means the most to people who are hungry for the truth, you may ask? Farmers feed their own families the same food they grow and raise. I spend a fair amount of time chatting with farmers who want to share more about their farm with people, via social media or many other opportunities for interaction, and don’t know where to start. My advice to them? Start small. When my intended food blog turned into a food and farming blog, I had young children. I didn’t have much time to attend events and shake hands with people who had never stepped foot on a farm. However, during naps, I made time to hop on and tweet or post a picture about what was happening on our farm in Iowa. Much to my surprise



it worked, and the posts that gained the most attention weren’t ones that were heavy with information. They were simple, straightforward and typically involved some small task I’d trip over daily, like checking the temperatures in the farrowing house to ensure that our heat lamps were doing their job to keep our baby pigs warm. I still have to remind myself what the people purchasing the food we grow and raise are met with, online, on confusing food labels and more. The only thing I can do is be a sound, sane voice in the land of shares, retweets and insanity, courtesy of internet doctors and self proclaimed food experts who have no credibility. Let’s face it: the salt-of-the-earth farmers and their “good stuff” isn’t shared enough. So we need even more farmers to shake the hands, tweet the words and share the “good stuff.” We have intelligent people streaming in the grocery store to purchase food, and I believe farmers can instill even more confidence in their food purchasing decisions by being available resources.

Italy pasta labeling plan raises Canadian concerns

WINNIPEG/ROME — Canada has raised concerns with Rome about

Italy’s plan to require country of origin labels on pasta sold there, Canada’s agriculture minister said on Wednesday about a move that is alarming Canadian wheat exporters just as a free trade deal gained European approval. Rome sent a draft decree to the European Commission in December, seeking approval for labels on pasta sold in Italy that would identify

where the durum wheat was grown and milled into semolina for pasta-making. Canadian exporters and farmers fear the move would depress prices in Canada, the biggest durum exporter, as it would require Italian pasta makers to segregate supplies by country. The European Union and Canada secured clearance earlier on Wednes-

day for their contentious free trade deal.

Pests, disease seen hitting southern African food output

HARARE — Crop pests and diseases sweeping through southern Africa pose a threat to food security in a region where production has yet to recover from drought, a senior U.N. food agency official said on Tuesday, calling for a swift and coordinated response. At the start of an emergency conference called by the Food and Agriculture Organization to map out regional action, FAO southern Africa coordinator David Phiri said an outbreak of the fall armyworm, devouring maize crops in some key producer countries, had blighted the season’s prospects. “This could contribute to reductions in maize production among the most severely affected farming households and thereby presents a huge threat to food security,” he said. The fall armyworm could also affect pasture crops and livestock, he said, adding that experts had warned of a potential locust outbreak. Phiri said tomato production and trade had been hit by tuta absoluta, a pest that tunnels through leaves, while the highly pathogenic H5N8 bird flu had killed thousands of migratory wild birds in Uganda and spread to domestic poultry. Pest and disease outbreaks, including scourges such as foot and mouth in cattle, need to be tackled to help boost economic growth, food security and public health, he said. “We need to use our collective capacities to put up systems that will strengthen the resilience of our farmers and their farming systems to the threat posed by transboundary pests and diseases,” he said. However, Zimbabwe, a former regional breadbasket that has become a serial grain importer since the government’s seizure of white-owned farms in 2000, expects an improved 2016-17 maize harvest, an industry official told a parliamentary committee.

Hungry for Truth launches GMO commercial By Michelle Rook Special to Agweek SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The Hungry for Truth initiative has released a new television commercial addressing the safety of the genetically modified or biotech crops farmers raise in South Dakota. The commercial shares a positive message about these crops, which have been the center of controversy with consumers in recent years. The spot features Kimball, S.D., soybean farmer Bradee Pazour talking to moms about the safety of GMOs. Pazour can speak about GMOs because she not only raises biotech crops on her farm, she feeds them to her family. “As a mother and a farmer, this is a topic that hits close to home for me. I understand why parents want to know where their food comes from,” she says. Jerry Schmitz farms near Vermillion and is President of the South Dakota Soybean Association. He says Pazour was a perfect fit for the commercial. “We thought it would be appropriate to have someone, a mom, come and talk to people about GMOs and what she does on her farm,” he says. In the commercial, Pazour is talking

with other moms at their kids’ soccer game. One of the moms says she’s glad they brought non-GMO snacks, so Pazour shares that a GMO option would be just as nutritious. Schmitz says in the spot Pazour also confirms the safety of GMO foods. “She’s sharing with folks that she knows about GMOs and she’s checked on their safety and that she wouldn’t be feeding them to her family if they weren’t safe,” he says. Pazour cited a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that found no difference in risks to human health between biotech and conventionally bred crops. The report also found no conclusive evidence of environmental problems associated to GMO crops. The commercial addresses GMOs because it’s one of the top consumer issues identified through the Hungry for Truth initiative. Marc Reiner is a Tripp, S.D., farmer and chair of the South Dakota Soybean Research and Promotion Council. “The last two years we’ve had conversations with consumers. One of the questions that has come up is GMOs and the commercial talks about

GMOs,” he says. “People are wondering because they hear about it in the news, they see it on the internet, and so it’s something that we want to address.” Reiner says the spot not only informs consumers about why GMOs are a safe food choice, it also sends them to the Hungry for Truth website for more information. “There we can talk about why we use [GMO crops] on our farms, some of the benefits that we have and help them gain a better understanding of that technology,” he says. In its third year, Hungry for Truth has been tackling issues important to consumers, who just want to understand where their food comes from. “They have questions, and they have concerns, and we need to share with them what we’re doing on the farm, why we do it and listen to their concerns and address them,” Schmitz says. He says when it comes to GMOs, consumers with whom he has engaged have had plenty of questions about the safety of the technology. He responds with the facts. “The industry does a lot of testing, and the government does a lot of

checking on GMOs before they can ever reach the market,” he says. However, Schmitz says today’s consumer also wants more than just the scientific answer, they want a value based response. “I tell them that if GMOs weren’t safe, I wouldn’t feed them to my own family,” he says. Soybean farmers that are part of the initiative have had conversations with consumers at various Hungry for Truth events the last two years. Those conversations also have addressed food safety and labeling, pesticide and fertilizer use, sustainability and family farms. Reiner says they are trying to get more farmers to connect with consumers and start a conversation about food and farming. “Farmers are very passionate. We care about what consumers think of our farms and what they think of agriculture in our state, and we want everybody to have an opportunity to join in on this conversation.” he says. “Farmers are really excited about hearing about what consumers have to say, hearing what consumer’s questions are…. just to help bridge that information gap.”

Minn. farm loan program wins approval in time for spring By Don Davis Forum News Service ST. PAUL — Unseasonably warm weather is making Minnesota farmers itchy to get into the fields, but some have not ordered seeds while they wait to know their financial standing. Soon, they should have that answer if Gov. Mark Dayton does as expected and signs legislation to pump $35 million into a farmer loan program. Minnesota senators voted 62-0 in favor of the bill Thursday, Feb. 16, following House members’ action a week earlier. The legislation does not provide loans for farmers to buy seeds, fertilizer and other things they need in the spring, but it does help them pay mortgages and other major expenses that affect how much money they have available for spring planting. “The Rural Finance Authority is an important program and provides much needed assistance to farmers across our state, but it has run dry,” said Sen. Andrew Lang, R-Olivia, who sponsored the legislation. The authority, formed in 1986, has issued $215 million in loans to 2,888 farmers.

“It is critically important,” President Kevin Paap of Minnesota Farm Bureau said. “We are at that time of year we need to make plans and we need that certainty.” Lang said his bill is an indirect help for planting season, and Paap added: “It is just about dollars available. ... If you are going to pay the bills, you have to have that commitment.” Legislators normally fold finance authority funding into a public works bill they pass in even-numbered years. That bill did not pass last year, and finance money ran out at the end of the year. In order to resume loans, Lang and Rep. Tim Miller, R-Prinsburg, offered the bill that stands on its own. The state and banks work together to provide the loans, which usually come with 3 percent to 4 percent interest rates. The loans are available for several uses, including adding to facilities, helping new farmers buy farmland, restructuring farm debt and constructing state-of-the-art livestock facilities. “With a strong demand for restructure loans due to low commodity prices, I’m pleased the House recognized

Minnesota Sen. Andrew Lang of Olivia receives congratulations from Sen. Gary Dahms of Redwood Falls on Feb. 16 on getting his first bill passed. The legislation funds a farmer loan program. the importance of RFA loans and took quick action on this bill,” Miller said. On the other hand, Rep. Rick Hansen, D-South St. Paul, warned his colleagues that farm loan programs are not the only things that missed fund-

ing when last year’s public works bill collapsed. “There’s a lot of urgency in Minnesota in undone work that didn’t happen last year.” No one voted against the measure in the House and Senate.

questions

Rachel Gray, fourth generation family farmer and rancher, Blackduck, Minn.

001536940r1

By Katie Pinke Agweek Publisher Q: What is your role in agriculture today? A: My husband, parents and I own and operate a cow-calf operation in Blackduck, Minn. My family has been farming here for four generations. I graduated from Bemidji State University with a bachelor’s degree in education and taught for 15 years before deciding to farm full time. In the past three years we have been Gray expanding our herd and focusing on improving the genetics of our replacement heifers and feeder steers. Q: How has ag shaped your life? A: Like anyone who has grown up farming, ag becomes your life. My earliest memories are of things that involved farming such as milking cows with my mom, having a bottle lamb, lunches in the tractor and sleeping in the hay rack. Growing up on a farm taught me to work hard, value your family and community, and to pray. Those lessons served me well as a teacher and are still helping me through days on the farm today. There are challenges that we face as farmers that often seem insurmountable. We face falling prices, bad weather, crops that fail or cattle that get sick. I could not get through those things without a tough work ethic, the help of my family or daily prayer. Even when I was teaching, I knew that in my heart I wanted to be home on the farm. I am very fortunate to be right where I belong. Q: What is sustainability to you and how do you practice it on your farm? A: To me, sustainability is something that has three parts. As a farmer,

I hope to be economically sustainable, socially sustainable and environmentally sustainable. I think typically the environmental issues are addressed, but all three areas are important. To be economically sustainable, we try to make good financial decisions. We focus on smart spending and on making sure that we spend the most money on things that will give us the greatest return. Being socially sustainable means giving back to our community in ways that we can. That might mean volunteering to host a field trip for the school, helping out at church or helping a neighbor that needs it. Environmentally, we use rotational grazing practices, have buffers in place near our rivers and streams, have numerous pollinator plots and windbreaks planted and incorporate wildlife habitat plots throughout the farm. Q: What excited you about your community? A: My community is a great place to grow up and raise kids. There are so many fun events and activities to attend such as the Blackduck Backwoods Bash and the Wood Carver’s Festival to name a few. As with any community in Minnesota, there are multiple lakes and rivers to use for fishing and water sports. I know that my sons would fish every day if they had the chance. In addition to all the wonderful things to see and do, the people of Blackduck and the surrounding community make is special. It is truly a small town where people know each other and care about their neighbors and community. Q: What organizations do you volunteer your time for and why? A: I am a Common Ground volunteer and a former member of the Minnesota Ag in the Classroom Foundation board. As a Common Ground volunteer, we talk to people about food and farming. So many people have questions about where their food comes from and the appreciation being able to ask a farmer those questions. It is always fun to get out and talk to people about our industry. I’m passionate about agriculture and hope to help people understand what we do. The Minnesota Ag in the Classroom Foundation also educates people about farming. The focus is on providing lessons and curriculum to teachers in grades K through 12. I currently help the foundation by visiting schools in northern Minnesota to promote the use of Minnesota Ag in the Classroom curriculum in classrooms.

REGIONAL NEWS

Spring weather outlook for South Dakota hard to predict By Erin Wicker Special to Agweek ABERDEEN, S.D. — While the region has enjoyed a mild winter, the agriculture industry is anxious to see what conditions spring will bring. Reliable research and information might give farmers and ranchers an idea of what to expect. Laura Edwards, SDSU Extension State Climatologist, spends her days studying weather patterns and interpreting what it means for South Dakota agriculture. “Throughout this winter, we’ve seen a change of pattern every 2-3 weeks,” Edwards says. “This indicates that we could see more cold weather following this pattern, but it could stay warm. It’s a tough call.” Edwards received her Bachelor of Arts degrees in physics and French

from the University of Minnesota and Master of Science in meteorology from the University of Maryland. With the Extension Service, she collaborates with colleagues in agronomy and animal science specializations to create a weather forecast for growing conditions, calving and lambing, manage drought and be a resource in short- and long-term planning and management. Edwards specializes in meteorology and climatology and how it impacts South Dakota farms and ranches. Right now, data indicates dry conditions the next couple weeks. However, March is likely to be on the wet side. Whether the March precipitation comes as rain or snow will depend on temperatures. The climate models Edwards and other climatologists study show temperatures in March leaning

on the warmer side, which may continue into April, but that is less certain. The majority of snow accumulation is melting now, and the moisture from that snow is in the soil. “The soil moisture is both good news and bad news,” Edwards says. With the snow melting early, there is the possibility for an early spring that would allow farmers to start planting crops early. However, especially in the watersheds on the eastern side of the state, there is the possibility for areas to be too wet to get started. The precipitation expected in March also will factor into that. The James River Valley in the east central part of the state will be closer to average, and the western side of the state will be drier yet. The recent warm and dry conditions have melted a lot of snow quickly.

Without the snow cover, soil is not insulated and will warm up and thaw quicker. By April, soil temperatures should be right for planting, if nothing changes. While some conditions are yet to be seen, there is positive news for producers: Edwards is not worried about drought in the eastern Dakotas. On the contrary, the Red River Valley watershed is likely to see flooding in the Fargo, N.D., area. The most current data showed a 75 to 90 percent chance of reaching a flood state and 25 to 50 percent chance of exceeding a moderate flood state. “Conditions for the spring look positive, but anything can happen in March — that’s a wild card,” Edwards says. “That precipitation could come as rain or snow, we will just have to see how it evolves.”

COMMENTARY

Farm bill process starts once again: What could go wrong? WASHINGTON, D.C. ournalists like me haven’t had much time to “recover” from the “ups and downs” of what finally became the 2014 farm bill. But here we go again: Both the House and Senate agriculture committees overseeing development of a new farm bill are already hosting hearings. They plan to gather input and start crafting ideas before the current farm bill expires in the fall of 2018. SARA Veterans of WYANT previous farm bills don’t anticipate that this process will be as difficult as the last one, which started in the summer of 2010 and didn’t result in a bill that President Barack Obama signed until February 2014. During a recent meeting with new members of the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla. — who chaired the committee during work on the previous bill — tried to put the 2014 farm bill into perspective compared to previous farm bills. “They’ve all been so different,” he emphasized. From his perspective, farm bills have evolved over three distinctly different generations, adapting to reflect different parts of U.S. agricultural history and economic conditions. The very first farm bill, in 1933, was about supply management because we had stockpiles of excess commodities, Lucas told Agri-Pulse. Subsequent



farm bills were used to build upon the tools first used at that time. The second generation of farm bills, launched in 1996, was dubbed “Freedom to Farm” as a way to move farmers away from production controls and target prices. That’s when direct or “transition” payments were first launched and Roberts chaired the House Agriculture Committee. The third generation of farm bills — culminating in the 2014 bill — was focused on getting rid of direct payments, Lucas said. “When you have to reinvent the wheel, like we did, it’s tough,” Lucas said of the last farm bill experience. “But like 2002 and 2008, when you are refining existing policy, it’s much easier.” Lucas predicts that the next farm bill will be a refinement process, rather than a reinvention process. In order to share the challenges involved with writing a new farm bill, Agri-Pulse launched a new in-depth editorial series: “The seven things you need to know before you write the next farm bill.” It’s designed to help educate those who have never been through the process or might not have seen some of the behindthe-scenes action that our editorial team witnessed. For example, who would have thought that the farm bill would be defeated and then have to be split in the House, before being sewn back together again with the Senate version? Or that Senate Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., would have relied on Sen. Pat Roberts’ staff to write farm bill extension language — rather than relying on Sen.

American Farm Bureau Federation representative Mary Kay Thatcher, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Monsanto representative Dr. Robert T. Fraley during a plenary panel at the 2015 Agricultural Outlook Forum “Smart Agriculture in the 21st Century” in Crystal City, Va. Thatcher believes it’s possible to pass another farm bill, but it will require a bipartisan approach. Debbie Stabenow, his fellow Democrat and Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee?

Can we pass another one?

Farmers are already wondering if it’s possible to pass another farm bill, says Mary Kay Thatcher, senior director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau Federation. The answer to that question is “absolutely yes,” she says, but it’s going to require a bipartisan approach. Here’s why. When a farm bill finally passed the House, the vote was 251 to 156, with 28 abstaining from voting. Fast forward to 2017 and the new members in Congress. What if a farm bill

came up for a vote this year? “You would have about 184 of those members that voted for it in 2014 that are still around, about 134 who opposed passage, and a very good chunk, 117 of them, who are brand new,” Thatcher explained during a recent presentation to the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau meeting. “My point: 184 isn’t very far from the 218 House members that you need for passage. So, I think it’s an exceptional chance that as long as we write a good, balanced, robust farm bill, we’re not going to have any trouble passing the next one.” It’s similar in the Senate, where it was a 68-32 vote

for final passage, she added. Of those who voted for passage, 57 remain — just three short of the 60 percent needed to pass. “I think the support for a farm bill is indeed still very deep,” she added. Thatcher says a recent Congressional Budget Office report also provides a good talking point for farm bill supporters: It shows an $81 billion difference in savings since 2014. “So not only did we save $23 billion when we wrote the last farm bill, but since then, the farm bill has cost $81 billion less than we thought it would,” she explained.
