COVER STORY By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer
Catherine Woteki, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s chief scientist, sees two powerful trends that both connect and conflict: ■ Global population and food needs are soaring, and the world will need to produce roughly as much food in the next 50 years as has been consumed since civilization began.
■ U.S. public sector spend-
ing on agricultural research is flat — going backward, actually, when inflation is factored in. “For much of the last two decades, we’ve had really a stagnant level of investment,” Woteki says. “In the last couple of years, we’ve had a decrease that’s been very substantial. “We are at a very critical RESEARCH: See Page 11
“My sense is we’re not heading for a calamity, but there is cause for concern. ” Philip Pardey

Too little money is being invested globally in agricultural research, experts say. Serious questions have been raised about whether the world can increase food production sufficiently to meet burgeoning demand.

power to plant or harvest their crop, free of charge. Gross grew up near Cleveland. He attended college at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks and began his career as a pilot for Pan American World Airways. Interested in helping farmers back in North Dakota, Gross started with one sponsored tractor and air-seeder, using his vacation days from UPS to help farm families, along with soliciting donations and recruiting volunteers to grow the organization. The organization since has evolved into a regional nonprofit that plants and harvests crops in five states with hundreds of volunteers. More than 200 families have been helped in North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Iowa since the inception of Farm Rescue. Gross continues to serve as the president of Farm Rescue and chairman of the board in a volunteer capacity, while conducting his full-time job as a Boeing 747 Captain, flying worldwide for UPS Airlines. Dick and Theresa Tokach are retired ranchers. Their ranch is now operated by two of their sons and their families. The Tokachs always have been active in agriculture, both holding various leadership positions in local, state and national organizations. Dick has recently retired as a Morton County Commissioner and was the recipient of the 2012 North Dakota Association of Counties Excellence in County Government Award. Inductees will be recognized March 9 in Valley City.

Recent drought may indicate transition to lower food supply, higher prices
By Daryll E. Ray and Harwood D. Schaffer In the absence of two critical issues, farm bill commodity programs would make little sense. Issue one: crop production can change considerably from year to year because of weather and disease. Issue two: over the long-haul, supply increases faster than demand. Governments as far back as second millennium B.C. Egypt and ancient China have recognized that crop failures can have a negative impact on their citizens in terms of food availability, prices and disruption to the economy. China also recognized that times of excess production could result in low price problems for its farmers. With the opening up of the Western Hemisphere to European markets, the problem of supply increasing at a faster rate than demand began to rear its head in the U.S. and elsewhere in the New World. At first, the rate of increase of new agricultural land being brought into production was the cause of this rate differential. By the 20th century, investment in agricultural research, education, and extension — much of it by governments — became significant factors allowing supply to increase faster than demand and leaving farmers to face long periods of low prices.
Increase in food demand The recent drought has reminded us that issue one is still in play, but what about issue two? Over time, will supply out-pace demand in the years ahead, as it has typically done for centuries? In recent columns, we have described developments that suggest that despite this year’s massive drought in the U.S. and maybe as a consequence of the resulting high prices, crop agriculture may once again face long periods of low prices. But other analysts see the future in a different light. In a paper delivered at a Farm Science Review on Sept. 18, in Ohio, one of our agecon colleagues, Luther Tweeten, argued that “the era of falling real prices of food is over.” Tweeten wrote, “two ‘megatrends’ are
underway, one on the food supply side and another on the food demand side.” Tweeten begins by looking at food supply, writing that “U.S. excess production capacity totaled 6 percent in 1962 and averaged near that proportion throughout the 1960s. In sharp contrast, excess production capacity in U.S. agriculture today is near zero.” While seeing the 2012 drought as “transitory,” he says that if global warming is underway, we may see “unusual weather events such as storms and drought.
If (Luther) Tweeten’s analysis is correct, commodity programs designed to soften the price and income blows caused by supply generally out-stripping demand, would no longer be needed – the yield variability issue would remain, of course.
edging a slowing down in the rate of population, sees a 2012 trend rate in the growth of total food demand of 1.3 per year. 0.8 percent per year lower than it was in 1962 and higher than the 1 per year increase in world crop and livestock productivity.
End of commodity programs He concludes, “In short, unless there is an unexpected increase in global cropland, future food demand is likely to grow faster than food supply — a considerable turnaround from 1962 when food supply growth sharply outstripped demand growth. Real prices of farm food ingredients are projected to rise on average by1 per year in future decades contrast considerably with real farm prices decreasing 1 per year on average in the 1960s. In conclusion, the above is no counsel of Malthusian despair — American consumers will hardly notice the trend reversal, but living standards will be retarded especially in poor countries.” If Tweeten’s analysis is correct, commodity programs designed to soften the price and income blows caused by supply generally out-stripping demand, would no longer be needed — the yield variability issue would remain, of course.
Adjusting to change “Of greater concern, is the falling percentage rate of increase in agricultural yield and productivity. Yields of cereals such as corn, wheat and rice that supply two-thirds of our calories increased at a trend rate of 3.2 per year in 1962 but by only a 1.2 per year trend rate in 2012!” Combining “world crop and livestock productivity,” Tweeten calculates a trend rate of 2 per year in 1962, and 1 percent per year in 2012!” Citing an International Monetary Fund study that catalogued more than 800 million acres of land worldwide that could be brought into production, Tweeten argues that “those acres will not go into gainful crops without substantial investment in roads, irrigation, fertilizers, drainage, property rights, law and order, etc. Those investments will not be forthcoming in the absence of higher crop prices. Meanwhile, about as much cropland will be lost to urban development, soil degradation, depleted water tables for irrigation, biofuel crops, etc. as is likely to be added each year.” On the demand side, Tweeten, in acknowl-
We look at the same data as Tweeten and, given the price and political incentives to increase agricultural production, both in terms of area under cultivation and investments to increase yields worldwide, we think it is likely that the relative rates of growth in supply and demand will be much as they have been in the past. That is, rather than seeing a reversal, the odds are still in favor of supply growing faster than demand as farmers and governments fully adjust productive capacity. Then the question is: would the resulting low prices cause the quantity demanded and supplied to recalibrate in a way that would rapidly adjust agriculture to reasonable profitable prices and revenues? In the past many decades, it has been lack of rapid adjustment to low prices caused by supply shifting faster than demand that has been the overriding reason for commodity programs. Ray is director of the University of Tennessee’s Agricultural Policy Analysis Center. Schaffer is a Research Assistant Professor at APAC.

OPINION
Split up farm bill, debate aspects separately
Congress must regain the trust of rural America ■
Mankato (Minn.) Free Press In 1946, George Orwell wrote an essay condemning political rhetoric, which he said was an attempt to “make lies sound truthful.” In his book “1984,” which warned of a dark totalitarian control over society, he created the Ministry of Truth, which had such slogans inscribed on its wall as “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery” and “Ignorance is Strength.” Orwell’s “1984” was fiction, but his ominous prediction of “doublespeak” by government is very much alive. Exhibit one: The farm bill. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is attacking the House GOP over its
balking at approving the 2012 farm bill, saying opposition is coming from people who don’t understand rural America. “Ever since reapportionment, fewer legislators have come from rural areas” and “urban” lawmakers don’t understand the importance rural communities play in the makeup of America. The impression is given that those who are opposed to the present farm bill are anti-agriculture “city slickers” who are holding farm interests hostage, and that merely extending the present farm bill for debate rather than agreeing to the lock on the $500 billion bill over 10 years will have a profound effect on the economy. While this plays well into sound bites for TV news, in fact the farm bill is much more than just agriculture. It involves farm policy, food stamps, telecommunications, research, energy, forestry and conservation. But more important, the farm bill is 80 percent food
stamps and nutrition programs — $400 billion, the vast majority of the bill. Logic would dictate that given the overwhelming importance determined by funding of this bill, it should be called the Nutrition Bill, or the Healthy Eating Bill. But don’t expect it to be called the Food Stamp Bill anytime soon because it plays better with Congress in selling this Orwellian “truth” to taxpayers. Vilsack says it is ideology that is blocking a “reform-minded” farm bill and without a doubt there was some reform, especially by way of subsidies and actual cuts in the food stamp program that some think is too much, while others think is too little. But ideology also speaks to the Democratic side, which wants not only an increase in food stamps, but also is blocking any attempts to turn the program over to individual states in block grant programs, thereby losing control. Meanwhile, amidst this ideological
war, there are farmers who need certainty in their business — along with other businesses in America — who are suffering and frustrated. And there is angst over drought relief looming ever so heavily going into this year. If the administration and Congress truly felt empathy for rural America, it would decouple the farm bill from all the other interests under its dome and allow an honest airing of the individual portions contained in it. That way, honest debates can be had on farm policy, conservation, subsidies and, yes, nutrition needs for our nation. To do no less — to hide or bury initiatives either side considers important but feels may be at risk — means there is no trust that voters would embrace those merits and agree to passage. But if that were the case, if indeed those elements have no merit, then they need to be laid to rest — as does Washington “doublespeak.”

T
An improvement over NAIS
he U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced a final rule establishing general regulations related to its new program for tracing livestock moving interstate. As many may know, this new program follows on the heels of the National Animal Identification System. NAIS was intended to create a program that would identify livestock throughout the country. It was a voluntary program and enrollment remained so low that the program became unviable. NAIS was unpopular, particularly to producers who believed the cost of implementing a system using implants and reading radio frequencies did not justify the possible benefits. The new rule focuses on animal disease traceability and was developed with significant input from health officials, industry experts and state and tribal governments. One of the most significant differences is that the new program only applies to animals being moved in interstate commerce. While this may seem an arbitrary distinction, the reason for this specific requirement for applicability has more to do with the limits of federal power than anything. The federal government can only regulate commerce among the states and with Indian Tribes under the U.S. Constitution. Although courts have allowed federal laws to reach some intrastate commerce, the restrictions in the Constitution limit the extent to which USDA can act with respect to animal traceability. To its credit, one of the most significant aspects of the new animal traceability program is its reliance on local practices and local control. For example, the new rule will not require producers to purchase expensive new technologies such as radio frequency eartags. National Uniform Eartagging System ear tags still will be acceptable, as will brands, tattoos and brand registrations, and owner-shipper statements. Additionally, USDA will make NUES ear tags available to producers at no cost while program funding lasts. Some of these alternative means of tracking animals may be used in place of an Interstate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.

More important, the new rule gives more control, generally speaking, to the state and tribal governments. While there are minimum requirements imposed by the federal rule, there is some flexibility offered to the local governments, particularly those that already have animal tracing programs in place. The alternative forms of registration and traceability documentation are typically acceptable “when accepted by the shipping and receiving states or tribes.” A couple specific exemptions in the new rule are worth mention, as well. There is an exemption for livestock moved interstate to a custom slaughter facility. The primary reason for this exemption is that the livestock being moved to a custom slaughter facility are already identified to the person responsible for bringing the animal to the facility. This exemption will allow small-scale producers a way to avoid unnecessary, redundant animal tracing requirements. Another specific exemption is relevant for North Dakota, South Dakota and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. According to the rule, there is an exemption if the movement occurs entirely within tribal land that straddles a state line and the tribe has a separate traceability system from the states in which its lands are located. I could not find any information on a traceability program adopted by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. If one does not exist, the new rule may offer a significant incentive for the tribe to adopt a traceability program for its member ranchers who regularly cross the border with their livestock, but remain within the boundaries of the reservation. The new program is a significant improvement over NAIS, and the emphasis on local control should help its chances for success by allowing local governments to recognize and accommodate practices already in use.

LATEST NEWS SD beef plant clears final financial hurdle
■ ABERDEEN, S.D. – A beef processing plant in northern South Dakota that has been operating on a limited basis since last fall has raised enough money to enter into full production. Land for the $109 million Northern Beef Packers plant in Aberdeen was secured in 2006, but numerous problems including financial issues, lawsuits and flooding repeatedly pushed back the opening date. Northern Beef, which is largely financed by Korean investors, has now raised more than $150 million, an amount that includes working capital. The plant eventually will process 1,500 cattle a day from the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota, producing more than 1 million pounds of boxed beef and beef byproducts daily.
Canada, US to recognize control areas in animal disease outbreaks
■ WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Canada and the United States
Goehring approves bird repellent for corn
■ BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota Agriculture Commis-
sioner Doug Goehring has issued special local needs (SLN) registrations to Arkion Life Sciences LLC, allowing North Dakota corn farmers to use Avipel Hopper Box Corn Seed Treatment and Avipel Liquid Seed Treatment to repel ringnecked pheasants. Goehring emphasizes that the products are nontoxic to pheasants or other birds. Goehring says using scare tactics such as decoy owls and noisemakers have proven ineffective, and that management by hunting is inconsistent. The SLN labeling allows use of Avipel as a seed treatment at a rate of 0.5 pounds of active ingredient per 100 pounds of seed. North Dakota ranked 12th in the U.S. in production of corn for grain in 2011 and is expected to climb in rank in coming years.
USDA offering loans to farmers growing for locals
have agreed to recognize each other’s control zones during animal disease outbreaks. The agreement means that if there’s an outbreak in one area, the other country will continue to allow imports of live animals, animal products and byproducts from disease-free areas. Canada’s Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz points to 2003 when mad cow disease was found in Western Canada. Ritz says cattle from disease-free areas such as Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada would still have been able to cross the border if a zoning deal had been in place. He says the agreement will still prevent the spread of disease, but minimize disruptions in the trade of healthy animals. A framework outlining exactly how the arrangement is to work is being developed. It will involve extensive consultation with industry groups, states and provinces.
Dethloff family settles
■ MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The U.S. Department of Agriculture
■ Julie Dethloff, daughter of Bill Dethloff, and owner of a
has created a new loan program to help small farmers, including growers who want to take advantage of the soaring interest in locally produced food. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says new “microloans” of up to $35,000 are de-
SWEET ESCAPE
signed to help bolster family-run farms, as well as minority growers and military veterans seeking to start a farm who might otherwise have trouble qualifying for small loans from banks or other USDA loan programs. The loans can help farmers grow niche or organic crops to sell directly to ethnic and farmers markets, or contribute to communitysupported agriculture programs. The loan also can cover the costs of renting land, seed, equipment and other expenses. The goal is to create more opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment in the farming industry, Vilsack says.
20-acre cattle operation in Bismarck, N.D., that has been in a dispute with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department over deer depredation protection, acknowledged that she had signed an agreement after a North Dakota Mediation Service session with her father on Jan. 14, but de-
clined to elaborate on it. The North Dakota Legislature expanded mediation duties in 2011 to include deer depredation, as well as mediation with various oil-related disputes between landowners and various parties. Bill Dethloff says the game and fish agency had offered $36,000 for constructing a woven wire fence around the property, but he had objected, saying the wooded area required a sturdier, panel-type fence that would cost more than $112,000 to construct. He had been convicted in 2011 of shooting 17 deer to protect a feedlot and feed.

Jordan Miller, the son of owners Randy and Deborah Miller, works in milling and manages Organic Farming, a separate but related entity. Also, the shelf life of Gluten Free Flax & Whole Grain All-Purpose Flour is 12 months. ■ Crop record: North Dakota farmers produced record corn and soybean crops last year. The Agriculture Department says North Dakota’s corn crop was a record 422 million bushels, up 95 percent from the previous year. The state’s soybean crop totaled 161 million bushels, up 40 percent over the year. Oil sunflower production was up 91 percent, canola up 60 percent, flaxseed up 126 percent and dry edible peas up 287 percent. Many of the crops rebounded from 2011 flooding. North Dakota sugar beet production for 2012 is estimated at 6.02 million tons, up 31 percent. ■ Temple Grandin: World-renowned livestock handling scientist Temple Grandin will speak at 1:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at the North Dakota State University Memorial Union Ballroom in Fargo.

REGIONAL NEWS
Taking an industry’s pulse Northern Pulse Growers Association holds annual convention in Minot, N.D. ■
By Jonathan Knutson Agweek Staff Writer
Pulse crop growers in North Dakota and Montana still have some catching up to do. The executive director of the Northern Pulse Growers Association is optimistic that it will happen this year. A freakishly wet spring in 2011 prevented many famers in northwest North Dakota and northeast Montana, where pulse crops are popular, from planting their fields, causing pulse crop acreage in the two states to plummet. But pulse crops regained much of that lost acreage in 2012 and could recover the rest this spring, Shannon Berndt says. “I think we can get back to the historic acres we’ve had,” she says. Berndt will be among the roughly 250 people expected to attend the Northern Pulse Growers Association’s 20th annual convention Jan. 21 and 22 in Minot, N.D. The event will feature exhibits and a number of informational sessions. One of the highlights this year is a farm bill update by Jim Wiesemeyer, senior vice president of farm and trade policy at Informa Economics. “There’s just so much interest in the farm bill because of what occurred, or rather the lack of what happened, in Washington,” Berndt says. Congress last year failed to pass a new farm bill, instead approving an extension of the old one. The association’s annual convention once again will be held the same week as Minot’s popular KMOT farm show, which runs this year from Jan. 23 to 25. Holding the two events so close together in Minot, northwest North Dakota’s largest city, works well, especially for businesses and groups that have exhibits at both events, Berndt says.
N.D., Mont. are leaders Pulse crops — the name comes from the Greek word for porridge — are grown around the world. While defini-
tions vary on what constitutes a pulse crop, the term generally is applied to legumes used for human and livestock food. The Northern Pulse Growers Association, based in Bismarck, N.D., represents dry pea, lentil, chickpea, lupin and fava bean growers from Montana and North Dakota. North Dakota typically ranks first nationally in both dry pea and lentil production, with Montana in second place for both crops. North Dakota farmers’ interest in pulse crops is growing, primarily because of the crops’ rotational benefits. Typically, pulse crops are grown in rotation with wheat, Berndt says. “They (farmers in the state) are looking at it as a good fit in their operations’ soil health,” she says. Montana farmers, in contrast, see pulse crops “as an option for increasing the profitability of their operation,” Berndt says. One of the advantages of pulse crops is that they put back nitrogen, a key ingredient for plant growth, into the soil. Farmers who grow pulse crops don’t need to use costly nitrogen that growing season.
Growth opportunities A pulse crop breeding program at North Dakota State University is working to develop new varieties that will help the pulses expand into areas where they’re not common now, Berndt says. The pulse industry hopes to generate more demand for its products from schools and other institutions, she says. “I really think that’s going to be key to help our industry grow on the domestic side,” she says. Berndt says commenting on pulse crop prices and profitability is difficult because prices are tied closely to quality. But the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s 2013 Projected Crop Budget estimates that the profitability of field peas and lentils in northwest North Dakota will be comparable to that of spring wheat, canola and oil sunflowers, although well below that of corn. The profitability of small chickpeas is projected to surpass that of most other crops grown in northwest North Dakota, according to NDSU.

Special to Agweek
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack confirmed here on Jan. 14 that President Barack Obama has asked him to continue in his position, and urged Congress to pass a new five-year farm bill. Speaking to reporters after a speech to the American Farm Bureau Federation, Vilsack said he could list many accomplishments of which he is proud, such as four years of record exports, the resolution of civil rights cases, the Agriculture Department’s assistance in developing the renewable fuels inVilsack dustry and the increase in broadband availability around the country. But he said his greatest disappointment is that “We don’t have a five-year farm bill.” In his speech, Vilsack noted that in polite company he says he was “disappointed” that the bill was not passed, but acknowledged he has used “different words in smaller settings.” In his speech and at the news conference, he also stressed the importance of convincing Congress to pass a farm bill this year. The drought and the looming sequester that would require an 8 percent cut in the U.S. Department of Agriculture budget both create uncertainties for American agriculture and increase the reasons Congress should act on the farm bill quickly, Vilsack said, The secretary said a new farm bill is also needed to: ■ Address the cotton trade conflict with Brazil. ■ Help livestock producers who suffered from the drought last year, but got no help. ■ Help dairy producers who only got the extension of the Milk Income Loss Contract program. ■ Help specialty crop producers. ■ Continue agricultural research. In its fiscal 2013 budget proposal, the Obama administration had proposed the elimination of direct payments, a cut to crop insurance subsidies to big farmers and small cuts to conservation, but Vilsack said of the 2014 budget proposal, “I don’t know that those decisions have been fully and completely

calamity, but there is cause for concern,” he says. Growing population — the world is expected to add 2 billion people by 2050 — is only part of it. Hundreds of millions of people globally will move into the middle class in coming years, and their food needs will grow. The combination of more people and the growing middle class is expected to increase world food needs by 70 to 100 percent by 2050. On the production side, water scarcity and limited ability to bring new farmland into production are huge concerns, experts say.

time,” she says. She’s not alone in that judgment. A wide range of experts, including the Presidential Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, say public spending on ag research is at worrisomely low levels. The “nation’s agricultural research enterprise is not prepared to meet the challenges that U.S. agriculture faces in the 21st century,” according to the Presidential Council’s December 2012 report, which concluded that the federal government needs to increase ag research inWoteki vestments by $700 million per year. The federal government spends roughly $4 billion a year on ag research now. Federal budget problems could torpedo any such increase and even cut into existing spending, many in agriculture worry. “It’s a concern,” says Erik Younggren, a Hallock, Minn., farmer and president of the National Association of Wheat Growers. Some other developed countries also are scaling back on public sector spending on ag research, when inflation is considered, says Philip Pardey. Pardey, a professor of applied economics and director of the Interna-

agricultural research and development for 25 years. “My sense is we’re not heading for a
Study: Investing more in ag research would increase efficiency, productivity “Total factor productivity” isn’t a term that rolls easily off the tongue. But investing more money in agricultural research would improve both total factor productivity and U.S. ag production, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The report looks at TFP, or the efficiency with which inputs such as land, labor, capital and materials are combined to produce crops and livestock. From 1948 to 2008, U.S. ag inputs barely increased, while output (production) rose 250 percent. The increase in TFP during those 60 years nearly matched the increase in output. On an annual basis, TFP rose an average of 1.52 percent from 1948 to 2008. In the same period, average annual production rose by an average of 1.58 percent, the report found. Public spending on ag research wasn’t the only reason TFP rose, but
“the force of these (other) factors is compounded by public agricultural research,” according to the report. Put simply, spending more on ag research raised TFP, helping farmers become more efficient and productive. Spending more on ag research in the future would continue to increase TFP and productivity, the report found. It examined three scenarios for public spending on U.S. ag research from 2010 to 2050: ■ In the first scenario, spending holds steady in nominal dollars, but isn’t adjusted for inflation. Average annual growth in TFP would fall to less than 0.75 percent. U.S. ag production would increase 40 percent by 2050, barely enough to outpace projected growth in the country’s population. ■ In the second scenario, spending is increased by 3.73 percent annually, enough to offset inflation in the cost
of ag research. Annual TFP growth would average 1.4 percent. That would raise U.S. ag production 73 percent by 2050, most likely enough to keep up with rising global demand. ■ In the third scenario, spending is raised by 4.73 percent annually, 1 percentage point above inflation. Annual TFP growth would average 1.6 percent. That would raise U.S. ag production 83 percent by 2050, most likely enough to keep up with rising global demand. Here’s the final takeaway from the report: The long-term growth rate of U.S. ag production will decline if spending on ag research doesn’t increase. That, in turn, likely would lead to higher food prices, serious environmental consequences and a potential drop in ag exports as U.S. farmers lose competitiveness in world markets.
To be sure, there are encouraging developments in global spending on ag research. One bright spot is private sector spending. It rose to $11 billion in 2010 from $5.6 billion in 1994 — an annual growth rate of 1.4 percent after inflation is factored in, according to a report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. The most rapid growth came in crop seed and biotechnology traits. The United States leads the world in private sector spending on ag research, accounting for more than one-third of the world total. But some of the money spent by U.S. companies is for ag research that will be applied outside the country, Pardey says. Also, much of the private-sector spending is for research on food processing, not food production, he and other experts note. Another reason for optimism, at least from a global perspective, is the fact that several countries, most notably China and India, are stepping up public sector spending on ag research. China has even surpassed the U.S. In 1960, the U.S. led the world with $1.2 billion of public spending on ag research, triple the $433 million of China, which ranked second. In 2009, China led the world with $5.8 billion, topping the $4.5 billion spent by the second-place U.S. Of course, as experts point out, America’s competitive advantage in ag lessens when other countries outspend it on ag research. Fifty years ago, America accounted for 21 percent of global public sector spending on ag research. Today, the U.S. share is only 13 percent, RESEARCH: See Page 12
PAGE 12 – Monday, January 21, 2013 / AGWEEK
RESEARCH Continued from Page 11
according to information from Pardey. And there is a third reason for optimism about spending on research. There are indications, not yet supported by hard data, that some of the world’s poorest countries are beginning to spend more on ag research, says Nienke Beintema, head of the Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators initiative for the International Food Policy Research Institute, based in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, such increases are coming after many years of limited spending and a great deal of catching up is needed, she says.
Why not more spending?
A number of factors are working against spending on ag research. The biggest may be complacency, at least in the United States. “We have the most productive agricultural system in the world,” says Ken Grafton, vice president for agricultural affairs at North Dakota State University and a former plant breeder. “We’re the envy of the world in research and production. “I suspect people become a little complacent,” he says. The United States hasn’t had food shortages since the Dust Bowl (in the 1930s), and many Americans take a stable food supply for granted, Woteki says. Spending on ag research also can be a hard sell to policymakers because the spending can take years to pay off, experts say. By some estimates, a minimum of 10 years is needed before ag research begins to pay for itself. By other estimates, as many 50 years are required before its full benefits are achieved.
COVER STORY Ag research has been referred to as “slow magic,” the benefits of which don’t occur right away, then endure for many years. But, $1 spent on ag research typically results in at least $10 of economic benefits, according to the Presidential Council’s report on ag research. Nonetheless, that slow payback can be daunting to policymakers, especially ones in poor countries, Beintema says. Investing in schools, roads and clinics, rather than ag research, may seem more prudent, she says. Public sector spending on ag research in the U.S. also is hampered because it’s not always a priority for farmers and farm groups, Pardey says. “There’s a lot of rhetoric” about the need for spending on ag research. But producers often place much greater emphasis on securing funding for programs such as federal crop insurance, he says.
Private sector spending
Spending by private companies, often in collaboration with universities, is growing. Monsanto, the agribusiness giant, in 2011 gave more than $21 million to 146 universities nationwide for research, licensing agreements, field trials and scholarships, among other things, according to the company. Last September, Monsanto announced a partnership in wheat breeding with North Dakota State University. Both Grafton and Connie Armentrout, Monsanto’s director of academic licensing, says the partnership, though still in its early stages, is going well for NDSU and Monsanto. To be successful, such partnerships “have to bring value to both parties,” Armentrout says. Grafton says the wheat-breeding partnership with Monsanto draws on the strengths of both organizations. The number of private and public
partnerships at land-grant universities probably will continue to grow as less federal money for ag research becomes available, Grafton says. “The underlying principal of landgrant universities is improving society. As long as we don’t lose sight of that, I don’t think it ( collaboration) is problematic. That’s my own personal opinion,” he says. Grafton adds that state government financial support for ag research is unusually strong in North Dakota. The public sector’s role in ag research remains vital, Woteki says. Public spending on ag research focuses on fundamental, long-term needs, with companies building on that research, she says. That’s true globally, too, Pardey says. “The world is still pretty dependent on public spending for agricultural R&D,” he says. Private-sector spending is concentrated on a handful of crops, particularly corn and soybeans, Pardey and others say. Some people wonder if private companies will cut back on spending for ag research if crop prices fall sharply. “I hope we don’t have to find that out,” Armentrout says. But whatever happens with crop prices, “We’re always looking for ways to meet farmers’ needs,” she says.
‘Maintenance spending’
By all accounts, ag research is costly. Ag research, particularly when it’s directed to production, “costs more dollars than it used to. It’s just like farming. Producers have to spend more money on their operations,” says Don Tanaka, a retired soil scientist who spent more than 20 years with the USDA Agricultural Research Service station in Mandan, N.D. So-called “maintenance spending” is part of the reason. “You have to invest to maintain past
gains, as well as to promote future gains,” Pardey says. For instance, crop diseases such as stem rust in wheat can hammer yields, reducing or even eliminating yield gains achieved from earlier research. Unless time and money is invested to battle those crop diseases, those past gains will be lost, Pardey says. Maintenance spending can account for as much as 40 to 60 percent of all spending on ag research, according to estimates.
Bringing in young blood
Many ag researchers, both in the United States and other countries, are nearing retirement age, experts say. Attracting talented young scientists to ag research can be difficult in poor countries, where other types of research may be more profitable and seem more exciting, Beintema says. Bringing in a new generation of ag researchers is important in the United States, too, and funding is the key, Woteki says. “It’s a truism in the scientific community. If there is funding for research, you’ll be able to attract good people to work on those problems,” she says. Breakthroughs achieved by a new generation of ag researchers would help a new generation of farmers, Pardey says. Unless spending on ag research increases, “The sons of today’s farmers will bear the brunt of these bad decisions,” he says. Because the United States did a good job of ag research for many decades, U.S. agriculture can temporarily withstand recent spending cuts, Pardey says. “We were doing pretty well until 10 or 15 years ago. We had a big stock of knowledge. You can nibble on that. But eventually it (not spending enough) catches up on you,” he says.

Farmers slow to react to Roundup resistance
■
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
FARGO, N.D. — Farmers in the Upper Great Plains have an opportunity to forestall an almost inevitable struggle with herbicide-resistant weeds, but most are ignoring the prophets and the reports from midSouth states like Arkansas. Richard Zollinger, a North Dakota State University weed specialist, took an instant “clicker” survey of some 300 attendees at the 15th Wild World of Weeds Workshop at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D. While he didn’t have time to fully analyze the numbers, he says the message is clear. “People are still using a lot of re-

liance on glyphosate,” Zollinger says, summarizing the survey. “They’re not really using a lot of different modes of action and they just haven’t incorporated this mentality that it’s going to take more management and probably more money to do Norsworthy the same job that we used to do.” Most farmers are still using Roundup (glyphosate) followed by Roundup, he says. The meeting included about 300 consultants, agronomists, county extension service agents and some chemical industry people. Only about 5 percent were farmers, Zollinger estimates. About 70 percent of those in the group were crop consultants and were reporting what their clients were actually
doing. The study preceded a keynote talk by Jason Norsworthy, a weed scientist with the University of Arkansas, based in Fayetteville. Norsworthy explained how farmers in his region are beginning an expensive and difficult process of clawing out of some weed resistance problems with intensive management. He says weeds have increased the complexity of weed control, have caused abandoned fields and have bankrupted some farmers. “It’s compromised conservation tillage for us,” he says, noting that one solution to some weeds is occasional moldboard plowing, to bury some kinds of seed that will deteriorate over time. Norsworthy says the resistance to glyphosate will perpetuate overuse and weed resistance in other broadleaf herbicides. “I honestly believe, as I look to North Dakota, and I look at kochia, and I look at waterhemp, you guys are heading in the same direction with those two
weeds,” he says. Farmers would be “extremely naïve” to think simply rotating from soybeans to corn will solve their problem. Among the tools Arkansas farmers are using to deal with the issue is a “Flag the Technology” strategy, where they put different colored flags in the field that identify different technology — white for Roundup, green for Liberty Link and red for conventional. Other farmers are going to a “spray the dirt” program of scheduled applications before target weeds are detected by scouting, because they’ll inevitably be too late. They should use fullstrength applications always and never partial-rates that add to the resistance problem. And they should not use early morning or late evening applications because weed leaves are pointed up or down, reducing spray effectiveness. Soybean farmers in states like Arkansas are spending $60 to $65 an acre for herbicides and another $25 an acre for hand weeding to control weeds in soybeans, Norsworthy says.

Nutrients

And now imagine you’re a corn plant.
North Dakota Wholesale Beer Association, which Greg Krieger, a board member and former president, calls a “welcome change.” One of the key proponents is Rep. Dan Ruby, R-Minot. The group also is promoting a funding bill for continuing research at North Dakota State University, along with money for marketing and education on grapes and wine. SB2146 is sponsored by Sen. Karen Krebsbach, RMinot, and will be considered by the Agriculture Committee. Krieger says the organization added “grape” to its name, in a change that was passed by the board in late October and became official at the end of November. Four years ago, a Minnesota professor spoke to the group at a meeting in Carrington, N.D., and strongly suggested a change to include the wineries. “It’s pretty obvious that most of our grapes are going for wine. That’s why we’re growing them, pretty much overwhelmingly,” says Krieger, a crop consultant and vineyard owner. The grape and wine group is more optimistic this session about passing its direct-to-retail authorization, which means a winery will be able to sell a case of wine directly to a restaurant, bar or bottle shop without having to go through a wholesaler. “Wholesalers are designed to ship big volumes and it doesn’t make economic sense for them to run down to a winery — wherever — pick up a case or couple dozen cases,” Krieger says. “It’s not efficient for them, but that was what was required by the legal framework that we were working under. We are very hopeful that will be changed in the near future. “We were really close two years ago,” Krieger says. The measure lost by one vote. In the last legislature the House passed it, overturning a do-not-pass recommendation in committee. Then the Senate took the issue to a one-vote deficit. The North Dakota Beer Wholesalers in 2011 opposed the bill for regulation, taxation and safety reasons, as well as the fear of litigation from out-of-state wineries. Many legislators are focused on it this session, Krieger says. “It shouldn’t be this hard to promote small business in North Dakota,” he says. A couple of huge wholesalers do about 98 percent of the wine business in the state. The newly named organization holds its annual meeting Feb. 8 and 9 in Bismarck. Information can be found on its website at www.NDGGA.org. The event begins with wine tasting and a wine competition. The second day includes educational seminars and a banquet.

At the MFBF board of directors meeting following the annual meeting, board members discussed the organization’s focus areas for 2013. “Farm Bureau’s policy development process began early in the year and resulted in a very productive Minnesota Farm Bureau delegate session,” says MFBF president Kevin Paap. “Farm Bureau voting delegates, farmers and ranchers from throughout Minnesota, established our public policy positions on the issues facing agriculture. Top on the mind of our delegates and members were the impacts of the 2012 elections. Roughly 30 percent of the members in the state legislature will be serving their first term. In addition, new committee structures and committee chairs have been announced.” For 2013, the Minnesota Senate and House of Representatives have combined the agriculture finance budget with the budgets for the Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Natural Resources, he says. “In the previous year’s budget discussions, agriculture was a separate finance bill.

Setting a minimum
ND dairy laws guarantee milk prices for farmers, retailers
By Christopher Bjorke Forum News Service
It only looks like a simple jug of milk. In truth, it is a regulated commodity, “vital to the public health and welfare,” in the language of the North Dakota
Century Code. It has been subject to “unfair, unjust, destructive and demoralizing trade practices” that “constitute a constant menace to the health and welfare of the inhabitants of this state.” And in North Dakota, it costs no less
than $1.73 for a half-gallon of 2 percent, $1.65 for skim or $1.80 for whole — though it usually sells for more than that. The average consumer might not think about where the milk on the supermarket shelf comes from or how the
price is set, but the product is regulated to support a market for producers, guarantee minimum “safety net” prices and prevent out-of-state producers from undercutting state dairy farmers. But that is the role of the state Milk Marketing Board, a body whose power is to “supervise, investigate and regulate every segment of the state’s dairy industry,” including licensing producers, processors, distributors and setting floors for the prices paid to the producer, wholesaler and the retailer of milk products. “The whole idea was to have dairy farmers in North Dakota, to have creameries in North Dakota,” says John Weisgerber Jr., the board’s director in Bismarck. “The idea is to keep it here in North Dakota.”
Keeping it local
The impetus of the board, according to Weisgerber, was to protect local producers and support distribution of milk to rural areas that might be ignored by larger, out-of-state dairies, which expanded in the 1940s. “You’ve got miles and miles and miles and low population density,” he says. While the federal government has been involved in regulating milk marketing for decades, the state Legislature in 1967 approved a state board as an option that would be more responsive to the interests of the industry in the state. The board’s five members are appointed by the governor and include a producer, a processor, a retailer and two consumer representatives. Weisgerber likened the milk board to the North Dakota Mill and Elevator and the Bank of North Dakota, two state entities created to improve farmers’ leverage with Minnesota grain buyers and provide favorable financing for growers. “There’s about eight states that have laws very similar to this,” Weisgerber says.

The board’s interest was protecting the viability of the dairy farmers with a guaranteed price, but during the creation of the board, processors and retailers also asked for guaranteed minimum prices, creating floors for prices paid to processors and retailers. The current price paid to producers is $22.12 per hundredweight of raw milk. The board has the power to set a maximum price for milk, but it does not now. Weisgerber says the dairy industry is a good candidate for regulation because of the perishable nature of its products. Milk has to be produced and cows need to be milked, and if farmers do not have a favorable market to sell to, they can fail and the state loses some of its dairy industry.

Soybeans gaining ground in SD
■
Decades-long shift shows increase in acreage
By Lance Nixon
Pierre (S.D.) Capital Journal
PIERRE, S.D. — They were a blip in the data when they first showed up in South Dakota in the statistics from the year 1939. That was when a few farmers in the state planted a total of 2,000 acres of that new crop, soybeans. There’s no record of how many acres they harvested, but the next year, 1940, farmers planted 4,000 acres and harvested 1,000. In 1941, they planted 6,000 acres, and harvested 2,000. In 1954, the acres devoted to soybeans in the state surged well past 100,000 for the first time. And by 1980, when Lewis Bainbridge was thinking of growing them on his farm near Ethan in Davison County, nearly 800,000 acres of soybeans already were growing in South Dakota. “My wife and I started farming in 1977. At that time, we were still planting corn and some small grains — basically oats,” Bainbridge says. “We were looking for a different cash crop.” Though happy with the corn, Bainbridge wasn’t satisfied with either the yields or the prices for oats. He gave soybeans a try at the start of the 1980s and he’s never looked back — a story that is similar for a great many producers all across eastern South Dakota. Soybeans, a crop the first generations of South Dakotans knew nothing about, have nestled into the South Dakota landscape. The acres devoted to soybeans in South Dakota passed the 1 million mark in 1984, reached the 2 million mark in 1991, hit 3 million in 1997 and passed the 4 million mark in 1999. In 2012, South Dakota farmers planted 4.75 million acres of soybeans and harvested 4.65 million.
A good shift
Bainbridge, who is on the United Soybean Board, the group that oversees the national soybean checkoff, sees the decades-long shift to more soybeans as good for South Dakota. For one thing, South Dakota is at the western edge of the soybean-producing area of the United States. That means it is closer than most soybean-producing states to Asian export markets by railroad. More than 60 percent of South Dakota’s soybeans are exported to Asia. Some 30 miles southeast of Pierre, producer Colin Nachtigal of rural Harrold, who farms with his brother, Jason, says soybeans have been a good fit for their operation near the Missouri River. They grow them on irrigated land, as
well as on dryland acres. But as with Bainbridge’s move away from oats, Nachtigal says their cropping patterns show cereal grains — especially spring wheat and oats — losing ground to soybeans. “We’ve been growing less wheat. We really don’t do oats or spring wheat,” Nachtigal says. “On our dryland, we try to do a corn, soybean and winter wheat rotation. In 2011 we had some 40-bushel soybeans down here on dryland, which is probably the best we’ve ever had down here.” And in 2012, despite the drought that crippled dryland production, Colin’s brother, Jason, produced 85.95 bushels an acre on irrigated land — good enough for second place in his group category, and third overall in the South Dakota Soybean Yield Contest sponsored by the South Dakota Soybean Association.
Benefits and risks
A considerable amount of research has looked at both the health benefits and risks that are claimed for soybeans. The USB’s perspective, especially regarding possible health benefits, is available at www.soyconnection.com. Research is also continuing on ways to make soybeans better as a feedstock for biodiesel. One thing is clear: The crop produces far more protein per acre than most other ways of using the land. “It’s what the world’s demanding. You’ve got China and India demanding protein,” Nachtigal says. In central South Dakota, that brings some challenges. “Probably one of the biggest challenges with soybeans is that they really need some water in late July or August. That can be really tough to come by out in this part of the country,” Nachtigal says. On the other hand, Nachtigal and Bainbridge say moisture-saving no-till farming has helped soybeans move west, and seed companies have done a good job coming up with soybean lines to expand the soybean production area. Bainbridge says as positive as the soybean impact has been on South Dakota, he would like to see soybeans adding to the state’s economy in new ways. Though a USB study showed that South Dakota had 16 ethanol plants as of July 2012, adding value to the state’s corn production, it had only one soybean crushing plant, in Volga. The state could use more such soybean crush facilities to supply soybean meal as a feed ingredient for livestock operations, Bainbridge says. “I’m a huge livestock guy,” Bainbridge says. “I’d really like to see us crush our beans here in South Dakota and feed our livestock and then sell the meat, both to meet our domestic needs and for export.”

Opting out of ACRE
Farm bill will give farmers a choice
By Jerry Hagstrom Special to Agweek
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — In implementing the farm bill extension that Congress passed, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will allow farmers to opt in or opt out of the Average Crop Revenue Election program known as ACRE, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said Jan. 14. The 2008 farm bill allowed farmers to sign up for the ACRE program, but stipulated that if they did, they had to stay in the program for five years. The extension bill extended ACRE for another year, but apparently did not say whether farmers had to stay in the program, which has not been as popular as hoped. “We’re going to do what we have to do,” Vilsack said, and USDA will allow farmers to either join the program or leave it. The extension also provides for an additional round of the $4.9 billion in direct payments that crop farmers have been getting whether prices are high or low. Vilsack said USDA also will make those payments next fall, but stressed that he is uncertain whether that program will still be in place by that time. Congress, he noted, could use the direct payment budget authority as a tool to cut the deficit. Congress seems less likely to cut crop insurance, Vilsack said, because there is an understanding that this was already cut in the 2008 farm bill and through USDA negotiations on the Standard Reinsurance Agreement. He said “the deeper issue is direct payments.” Under what’s known as a sequestration program to reduce the budget deficit, most of the government programs except entitlements are supposed to be cut on a percentage basis in March, and if that happens, USDA’s discretionary programs will have to be cut by 8 percent. But Congress is expected to pass legislation that would change the sequestration law to avoid a big cut to defense spending, and Vilsack said that if Congress changes sequestration, it is likely to cut domestic agencies like agriculture even more than planned. Another possibility is that Congress would write a new farm bill and use the direct payments budget authority, which was eliminated in both the Senate and House Agriculture Committeepassed bills last year, to write a new farm program before the payments are made.

Two-year-old heifer with a seven-month-old bull calf
living in the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming welcome a congressional investigation into whether U.S. taxpayers are receiving full royalties from coal mined on federal lands. U.S. Senate Energy Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and ranking member Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, are concerned about return to taxpayers from the sale of federal coal, on the heels of media reports and studies citing flaws in the federal coal royalty collection process. “Montanans have a lot of questions about the impacts of mining our coal, shipping it to West Coast ports, and sending it to customers in Asia,” says Walter Archer, a rancher from Olive, Mont., and Chair of the Northern Plains Resource Council. “But there is no question that taxpayers deserve a full and fair royalty payment when their coal is mined. If the only way coal companies can make money is to get this coal on the cheap from taxpayers, and send it overseas, that is a very bad deal all the way around.” A letter to the Department of the Interior from the Senators cites recent Reuters news agency reports investigating how Arch Coal Inc., Peabody Energy and Cloud Peak Energy account for royalties on federal coal from the Powder River Basin coal sold to Asian markets. A study by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis found taxpayers missed out on an estimated $28.9 billion in revenues over 30 years because of failure by the Bureau of Land Management to get fair market value for federal coal mined in the Powder River Basin. “Neighbors to Wyoming coal mines, like my family, have sacrificed a lot for Wyoming to be the nation’s leader in coal production,” says L.J. Turner, cattle and sheep rancher, from Wright, Wyo., and member of the Powder River Basin Resource Council. “The least we deserve is to know that we’re not getting short-changed by the coal companies. We hope the Department of the Interior acts in the public interest and seriously considers the Senators’ concerns.” In April, U.S. Rep. Ed Markey, D-Mass., asked the Government Accountability Office to review the federal coal leasing program. The last review of the program occurred in 1984. The GAO is conducting that review, and the Interior Department’s Office of Inspector General also is investigating the federal coal leasing program.

Applying nitrogen properly
Scientists study height, optic results for corn predictions ■
By Mikkel Pates
Agweek Staff Writer
FARGO, N.D. — Imagine a future in which farmers use scientifically gathered corn crop height data to color intensity ratings and decide whether to add mid-season nitrogen. North Dakota State University researchers say it’s not that far away. An optical sensor study for predicting corn yields was one of the topics at “Soil and Soil/Water Training,” sponsored by the North Dakota State University Extension service, Jan. 15 at the Fargodome in Fargo, N.D. The training offers required continuing education credits for the more than 200 crop consultants who attended. Lakesh Sharma, at NDSU since 2011, presented early results for a corn nitrogen-rate study he’s working on for a doctorate study in conjunction with David Franzen, an NDSU Extension
soils specialist. Sharma laid out data that shows how Greenseeker and Holland Crop Circle brand technologies may be able to predict corn yields and, therefore, nitrogen-rate side-dress application requirements in corn. Franzen explained that one sensor uses red ratings, divided by near-infrared ratings, which is also known as normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI). Satellites have long been used to estimate things such as a wheat crop yield in a foreign country. “It’s kind of a two-dimensional thing, so it’s looking at biomass on a two-dimensional scale,” Franzen says. “It was originally developed for winter wheat, Bermuda grass — things that lie lower to the ground. What we’re doing is using it on corn.”
Height plus optical
The new study uses two different technologies, Franzen says. One is the NDVI. The second is the Holland Crop Circle Sensor — a tool developed in Nebraska. That has the NDVI, but also a lens that gives what is called a “red edge.” “The red edge NDVI is a kind of a
proxy for the green that we see,” Franzen says. “It goes beyond the twodimensional leaf area of a wheat crop and it puts into play something we would see going out into the field, but it quantifies it in a way that our brain can’t, really.” The first part of the project is to compare the two, and see how they work at different crop stages. The first reading taken is at the sixleaf stage. That’s important because it’s the stage when the corn farmer is deciding whether to side-dress nitrogen to maximize yield potential. The second reading offers better prediction, with the crop circle sensor, but that’s a little late, unless the farmer has had a catastrophic incident, like a 6inch rain, which could have leached nitrogen out of the area where it is used. The difference between Sharma’s work and what has been done before is that another factor — the height of the crop multiplied by the crop color readings — gives much clearer representation of the potential yield, Franzen says. The predictability gets two or three times better when the height data is added to the optical data.
Algorithm comparisons
“Scientists are developing the basic algorithms and, at the same time, we’ll be testing satellite image NDVI against our algorithms to see if they’re similar,” Franzen says. “If they are, we can use the satellite images to predict which fields a farmer or an ag industry (professional) needs to look at for supplemental nitrogen,” Franzen says. Franzen sees the system being managed like this: “When the initial fertilizer is put on in the fall or pre-planted in the spring, the farmer will put some, but not all, of his nitrogen on the field because of the risk of loss in the first six weeks or so,” he says. “They’re planning on side-dressing, or top-dressing (nitrogen). “Within that field, there’ll be a short strip — 100 feet or so, where they’ll double the nitrogen rate, maybe up to 200 pounds of N. That’ll serve as the field standard. It’ll be within the field, within the variety, so the variety differences of color don’t matter. The difference between the nitrogen-rich strip and the rest of the field tells you whether it needs supplementation or not.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
USDA final report details crop losses from drought
By David Pitt
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — The federal government released its final crop report for 2012 on Jan. 11, detailing heavy losses caused by the worst drought the U.S. has experienced since the 1950s. Much of the attention focused on corn, which is widely used as an ingredient in many foods and as feed for livestock. Farmers produced less than threefourths of the corn the U.S. Department of Agriculture anticipated when planting was done in the spring. The year-end report shows a harvest of 10.78 billion bushels, 27 percent less than the agency's initial estimate of 14.8 billion
bushels. The harvest, however, still was one of the largest in U.S. history. Farmers say better crop technology that improved the ability of corn to withstand drought saved them from more devastating losses, and production was helped by the large number of acres planted this year. USDA closed the year by saying farmers planted 97.2 million acres of corn, the most since 1937. Farmers have been planting more corn as demand has risen with ethanol production. Just a decade ago, fewer than 80 million acres were planted in corn. While the drought eventually spread to cover two-thirds of the nation, its impact varied widely from one region of the Corn Belt to another. Some Iowa
farmers saw decent results, while those in parts of Illinois and Indiana could only watch as plants withered and died after months of drought. "I've yet to run into anyone around me that wasn't ready for 2013 to come," says Earl Williams, 62, a former Illinois Soybean Association president who farms 1,000 acres near Rockford, Ill. Helped by crop insurance, he managed to break even last year, despite getting seven or eight bushels less per acre than he usually does. His cornfields took an even bigger hit, producing 50 to 60 bushels short of the 150 to 160 bushels he'd typically reap. USDA had predicted a record average yield of 166 bushels per acre of corn when warm weather got

farmers in the fields early. But the government began scaling back estimates as the drought spread across two-thirds of the nation. Farmers may have reason to be nervous about prospects this spring when they hit the fields to plant again. The U.S. Drought Monitor's weekly updates have shown few signs the drought is relenting. Sixty percent of the continental U.S. is in some form of drought, and climatologists say it would take an absurd amount of snow for conditions to change much during winter. The best hope, they say, is for heavy spring rains. Editor’s Note: Associated Press reporter Jim Suhr contributed to this report from St. Louis.

Vilsack urges support for Hagel
Says defense secretary candidate will support renewable fuels
By Jerry Hagstrom Special to Agweek
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on Jan. 14 urged members of the American Farm Bureau Federation to support former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., for defense secretary, saying Hagel would support military use of renewable fuels. President Barack Obama has nominated Hagel to be defense secretary, but the nomination has run into opposition from conservative leaders who question some of Hagel’s positions on the Middle East. Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., has said that even though Hagel had a distinguished military career and has been a friend for years, the two Nebraska senators “have very different opinions on many very important issues,” and that Hagel “has an obligation to elaborate on his past statements and fully explain his positions during what I expect to be a thorough and fair confirmation hearing.” But in a speech Jan. 14, Vilsack gave Hagel his full support. “Let me tell you why I want Chuck Hagel,” Vilsack said. “He is from Nebraska, he understands the biobased economy. He would be a secretary of Defense who could champion the biobased economy.” Vilsack also urged farmers to take an interest in other Cabinet nominations. The Treasury Department, Vilsack noted, has a new market tax credit program that could be important for rural America and said Treasury nominee White
House Chief of Staff Jacob Lew should be asked about it. Vilsack also urged farmers to get involved in the confirmations of new nominees for Commerce secretary and Environmental Protection Agency administrator, and in the administration’s expected push to reform immigration laws. The confirmation process, immigration and other issues, Vilsack said, can help rural America build “strategic alliances” with people who can push Congress to pass a farm bill. “Whether we like it or not, we have to acknowledge that the political clout rural America once had we don’t have today,” he said. “Rural communities, organizations and leaders must reach new audiences to strengthen the understanding of the agricultural sector. “I’m going to do all I can this year to work with Congress and secure the sort of comprehensive, long-term food, farm and jobs bill that will continue growing the rural economy,” he said. “But I need the help of those across rural America to reach out, to expand partnerships and to tell the story of the modern and innovative rural America that provides so much to our nation.”
Immigration reform
Vilsack suggested that farmers engage evangelicals and other Hispanic-serving organizations in the fight for the immigration reform bill. He also said that immigration reform has to be comprehensive, noting that while it would be “nice” to think that agriculture’s immigration issues could be solved separately, that idea is impractical. Vilsack called such reaching out “constructive engagement,” and cited as an example his own relationship with outgoing EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson. Although rural leaders and Republicans have criticized Jackson, Vilsack noted that she proved willing
to listen to farmers. (Jackson did not impose spilled milk and dust regulations that many farmers feared.) Vilsack also noted that after he had told U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donahue that his organization should pay more attention to agriculture, the chamber held a conference on agricultural innovation and now wants USDA’s help in organizing a conference on water.
Food stamps
Rather than raise issues about the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as food stamps, Vilsack said farm leaders should “find a way to connect” with food stamp beneficiaries and their representatives. The secretary also repeated a statement he made in December that rural leaders should rethink their opposition to the agreement that United Egg Producers and the Humane Society of the United States reached on a national program regulating cage sizes for egglaying hens. The agreement called for HSUS to end its plans to mount initiatives in states to impose the cage size regulations, which the United Egg Producers wanted to avoid, he said. Other agriculture groups opposed the agreement, however, and it has gone nowhere in Congress. Vilsack told the Farm Bureau he realized most of them were not fans of the Humane Society, but that HSUS and the egg producers had reached “common ground” and that the proposal was “reasonable.” He added, “Isn’t that what we are asking Congress to do?” Asked at the news conference how agriculture could work with a group whose goal is to end animal agriculture, Vilsack said farmers should use the situation as a way to educate animal rights activists about agriculture.

The North American edible bean crop was good. Manitoba had 138,000 acres — a big crop, plus it was very good. Ontario had a good bean crop and the U.S., while hit and miss, was also above average. There are lots of edible beans in North America. End users have been sitting back, unwilling to make any new crop commitments. The few contracts that are available are being made by local merchants, without the backing of end users. Bids are in the low to mid 30-cent area. Soybeans pencil close to edible beans and are far easier to grow.

Canary trade flat
Canary markets are stabilizing after a good run-up from last summer’s lows. Canary had dropped as low as 21 cents per pound last August, but has moved up smartly since. Trade now is generally 26 to 27 cents per pound freight on board farm Saskatchewan. Processors are buying. Production has been dropping since 2009 when we produced 197,000 metric tons. Production in 2010 was 154,000, 2011 was 129,000 and 2012 was 125,000. The carryover next July is estimated by AgCanada to be 10,000 metric tons, rock bottom. The real carryout is presumably higher since considerable canary would have been placed into long-term storage the past two years. Canary markets continue to be hobbled by the foodgrade import restrictions imposed by Mexico. It’s hard to export to Mexico with its rigid and exacting weed seed limits. With tight margins, only the bigger players even bother with exporting to Mexico any more. That’s bearish, short-term, but Mexican demand has probably not dropped by much. Canary markets are currently about flat, but charts show a strong uptrend since August.
Bean acreage to plummet

Lots of prairie farmers are going to abandon edible beans this year. North Dakota and Minnesota are on track to drop a third of their acres. Bean plantings can be highly variable and 2013 will be a low acreage year. Stocks are currently more than adequate, but unlikely to last into 2014. Pintos are a better play than blacks. China can now sell blacks directly to Mexico and has pretty well taken over that market. Pinto production, on the other hand, for export, is mostly in North Dakota, Manitoba and Alberta.
Canola market consolidates
Canola futures have been trading sideways. Fresh export demand has subsided, given the weakness in the world vegetable oil complex. Malaysia cut the export tax on palm oil in an effort to enhance exports. This will continue to weigh on vegetable oil prices. Brazilian soybean growing conditions remain optimal, while forecasts for the Argentine soybean region are on the dry side. This dryer forecast, along with Chinese demand for U.S. soybeans, has sparked a rally in the soybean market, which spilled over into canola early last week. Basis levels in Western Canada remain strong, as domestic crushers work to entice farmer selling.

We’ve seen no real slowdown in the domestic crush pace, but given the lower crop size, it is inevitable that the crush slows later in the crop year. The March May spread continues to trade at an inverse, reflecting the tight nearby stocks.
Feed barley and feed wheat
Cash barley prices in southern Alberta continue to hover in the range of $275 to $280 per ton delivered. Cattle on feed numbers through fall have been down 7 to 10 percent, which has resulted in a year-over-year decline in feedgrain demand. Given the recent drop in the wheat market, feedlots are implementing low protein milling wheat in the rations, which will also result in lower barley usage. Feed barley exports are running ahead of last year, but world values have come under pressure from more aggressive offers from Europe. Turkey recently bought 200,000 metric tons of feed barley at a $327 (U.S.) per metric ton cost and freight. Tunisia also bought feed barley at a $322 per metric ton cost and freight. This equates to approximately $200 in central Saskatchewan. These sales will be filled with European barley. Export values for feed barley and feed wheat are below domestic prices.
Malt barley
Malt barley prices in Western Canada have been in the range of $6 to $6.40 per bushel depending on location. Given the world malt values, it will be difficult for prices to increase in the next couple months. Domestic malsters appear to have their nearby requirements covered. We hear certain grain companies are currently looking for coverage on current sales. This buying interest will subside once these sales are covered.

MARKETS
Demand drives grain markets higher Wheat: fewer acres and improving demand
The wheat markets had gains of 25 to 28 cents last week. The Jan. 11 U.S. Department of Agriculture report renewed some optimism in the fundamental picture for the wheat market, which has now gained back about a third of last month’s losses. To start the week on Jan. 14, wheat markets had decent gains, with most of the gains coming in the winter wheat exchanges. Early support continued to spill over from the Jan. 11 friendly USDA annual crop production report, which cut wheat stocks. Additional support came from a lower-than-expected winter wheat seeded acreage estimate. The fundamental picture continues to improve for wheat, with tighter stocks, fewer acres and the crop going into dormancy in poor shape. An improving fundamental picture in wheat has helped convince short position holders to start liquidating positions. The Jan. 15 gains marked the third straight higher session, which pushed wheat to three-week highs. A better-than-expected feed demand estimate, combined with weather concerns in both Russia and China, has helped push wheat. Extremely cold temperatures in much of Russia and the U.S. winter wheat region has many traders thinking production estimates for those areas likely will decline. Technical buying also has helped push the market, as wheat lost more than $1 in the month of December and for the first week of January 2013. Wheat struggled to start the session Jan. 16, as technical selling took the lead. Late in the session, the strength from the soybean complex was enough to help push wheat to the plus side. Wheat traded on both sides of unchanged Jan. 17 before settling with single-digit losses. The Kansas City market had the larger losses because of some weather premium being taken back out of that market. Wheat markets had strong gains in the past week, and were due for a quieter day. Quiet trade continued on Jan. 18, with mostly light losses to finish the week. USDA reported wheat export inspections pace for the week ending Jan. 11 at 10.6 million bushels. This brings the year-to-date export inspections pace to 539.4 million bushels, compared with 621 million at this time last year. With 20 weeks left in wheat’s marketing year, shipments need to average 25.5 million bushels to make USDA’s projection of 1.05 billion bushels. Wheat export sales pace for the week ending Jan. 11 was estimated at 19.7 million bushels. This brings the year-to-date export sales pace for wheat to 729.2 million bushels, compared with 754.8 million for last year. With 20 weeks left in wheat’s marketing year, sales need to average 16.2 million bushels to make USDA’s projection of 1.05 billion.
Corn: tight stocks support cash corn
The corn market was up 15 cents in the March contract for last week, as of Jan. 18 morning trade. Corn found follow-through buying from the Jan. 11 USDA report to start the week. A lower stocks number was a surprise and brought money back into the market. The futures came under some pressure later in the week, with poor export reports and a disappointing ethanol report. The corn market traded with strength on Jan. 14 and 15, with follow-through buying from the Jan. 11 friendly report. A large increase in feed use was a surprise and the net result was a tighter ending stocks number of 602 million bushels. Export demand has been sluggish and USDA did lower its estimates, while the export inspections were poor on Jan. 14 at 9.2 million bushels. Corn shipments needed each week are now 20.3 million bushels. The cumulative shipment pace is now 29 percent of the USDA export estimate versus the five-year average of 34 percent, and are 55 percent below levels of one year ago. A

dryer 10-day forecast for northern Argentina and southern Brazil offers support, but it is early in the growing season and we have to see if it materializes. Corn closed slightly lower on Jan. 16 and 17. The futures had closed higher for the past seven sessions and profit taking came into play. We are also at the high end of the trading range and buying interest has slowed at these levels. News that Taiwan bought 60,000 metric tons of corn from Argentina added weakness and proves that U.S. corn is overpriced compared with competition. The disappointing ethanol report and lack of any export demand also added pressure. The 82.3 million bushels of corn used for ethanol the week ending Jan. 11 was the lowest amount for this marketing year. Argentina’s Ministry of Agriculture reported that it expects the 2012 to ’13 corn crop to produce 28 million to 30 million metric tons, up from its prior estimate of 24.5 million. Ethanol production for the week ending Jan. 11 averaged 784,000 barrels per day, down 5 percent versus the previous week and down 16.7 percent versus last year. Total ethanol production for the week was 5.5 million barrels. Corn used in production the week ending Jan. 11 is estimated at 82.3 million bushels and the lowest weekly usage for the 2012 to ’13 marketing year. Corn use needs to average 86.8 million bushels per week to meet this crop year’s USDA estimate of 4.5 billion bushels. This crop year’s cumulative corn used for ethanol production is 1.6 billion bushels. Stocks as of Jan. 11 were 20.4 million barrels, up 2.6 percent from the previous week and up 4.2 percent versus last year. USDA’s export inspections report was bearish for corn. There were 9.2 million bushels of corn reported shipped, well below the 20.2 million needed to meet USDA’s projection of 950 million for the 2012 to ’13 marketing year. This was at the low end of the pre-report estimates of 8 million to 15 million bushels. The export sales report for corn was at 15.5 million bushels, above the 13.2 million needed to meet USDA’s projection of 950 million bushels. This was within the estimates of 9.8 million to 18.7 million bushels and neutral for corn. Total shipments last week were at 9.7 million bushels, below the 20.2 million needed for the 2012 to ’13 marketing year.
Soybeans: strong demand leads to gains
As of the Jan. 17 close, March soybeans were up 57 cents on the week, while November 2013 soybeans were 19 cents higher. South American weather continues to have a strong impact on the market. Strong buying from commercial and noncommercial traders on Jan. 14 led to a sharply higher close to begin the week for soybeans. The weather forecast has been good for South America, but it is a bit drier going forward for southern Brazil and parts of Argentina. National Oilseed Processers Association crush numbers released Jan. 14 were supportive at 159.9 million bushels. Demand remains strong, with USDA announcing a sale of 120,000 metric tons of soybeans to China. The Jan. 14 export inspections came in well above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA’s projection.
Strong commercial buying had soybeans trading higher early Jan. 15, but profit taking and hesitant noncommercial traders led to the market slipping to close with small losses. Soybeans were higher Jan. 16, as commercial and noncommercial traders provided support. Demand remains strong for soybeans and traders believe China secured additional cargoes last week. Soybeans traded higher early Jan. 17 on a strong export sales report before slipping lower into midday, as the export sales were likely already priced in. Around midday, Agroconsult, a Brazilian private forecaster, released a production projection of 84 million metric tons, compared with USDA’s Jan. 11 World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates report at 82.5 million metric tons. Commercial buying continues in light of strong international demand, including a sale of 240,000 metric tons to undisclosed destinations announced by USDA. Jan. 17 export sales were well above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA’s projection. USDA reported soybean export inspections pace for the week ending Jan. 11 at 39.1 million bushels. This brings the year-to-date export shipments pace for soybeans to 855.9 million bushels, compared with 640.2 million for last year at this time. Soybean export sales pace for the week ending Jan. 11 was estimated at 59.1 million bushels, bringing this year’s total to 1,201.5 million, compared with 938.5 million last year at this time.
Barley
USDA reported barley’s export inspections pace for the week ending Jan. 11 at 8,000 bushels. USDA reported export sales of 1,500 metric tons of barley, going to Taiwan and South Korea. Jan. 17 cash barley bids in Minneapolis had feed barley at $5.15 per bushel, while malting barley bids were at $7.05.
Durum
USDA reported no durum export inspections for the week ending Jan. 11. There were no new export sales either, with the year-to-date export sales pace at 15.6 million bushels, compared with 14.9 million for last year. Jan. 17 cash bids for milling quality durum were at $8 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., and $7.95 in Dickinson, N.D.
Canola
Canola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, exchange had net gains of up to $16 (Canadian) per ton last week. Gains in the soybean market provided support to canola, as demand for oilseeds remains strong. Additional support continued to spill over from the Jan. 11 friendly crop production report, as well as from weather concerns in South America. Fundamentally, canola should be able to outperform the other vegetable oil products as a result of a lower-than-expected production estimate. Cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at $27.81 per hundredweight on Jan. 17.
Sunflowers
Soybean oil export sales pace for the week ending Jan. 11 was estimated at 12.9 trillion metric tons. This brings the year-to-date total to 686.9 trillion metric tons, compared with last year’s 190.1 trillion. Cash sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were at $22.40 per hundredweight on Jan. 17.
Dry beans
The USDA report reaffirmed the large crop that was produced in the 2012 crop year. USDA is reporting bids of $30 to $32 per hundredweight for navies and blacks and $32 to $34 for pintos in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Farm Bureau talks policy Board members discuss immigration, farm bill at annual convention ■
By Jerry Hagstrom Special to Agweek
NASHVILLE — As American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman urged Congress to pass a full five-year farm-bill in 2013, delegates to the annual convention last week gave its board full leverage to take positions on the farm bill and also endorsed an immigration reform proposal that has been worked out by a coalition Farm Bureau has joined. Last year, Farm Bureau wanted a “deep loss” program to provide benefits to crop farmers in case of catastrophic loss, but Congress never showed much interest in the proposal. Farm Bureau’s position has been that if the “deep loss” program would not be enacted, it wanted a choice between the “shallow loss” program proposed by corn and soybean growers and the “reference price” program favored by rice and peanut growers. But on Jan. 15, delegates voted instead to delete those specifics and instead say farmers should have a “choice of program options.” Southern delegates said they wanted to keep the reference price in the platform, but they lost, with 54 percent of the delegates voting for a more vague policy.
Immigration reform At a news conference, Stallman noted that the delegates had endorsed the policies of the immigration coalition that the organization has joined. That coalition favors provisions that would allow foreigners to enter the United States through contracts and also to be employed on an “at will” basis. The coalition has said that the policy must work for both the fruit and vegetable industry, which needs seasonal labor, and the dairy industry, which needs workers year-round. Stallman also noted that the delegates had a vigorous discussion about supporting raw milk, but a majority voted to establish a policy that only pasteurized milk and milk products should be sold for human consumption. Delegates approved the measure in light of the potential risks to public health and food safety posed by consumption of raw milk. Delegates reaffirmed policy supporting changes to the dairy safety net, consistent with the margin insurance programs included in versions of the farm bill approved by the House and Senate Ag Committees. In his address to the convention on Jan. 13, Stallman said Farm Bureau members “need the new Congress to show the leadership needed to pass long-term farm policy and enact the kind of reforms that the Senate and House Agriculture Committee have approved. “We just elected and re-elected leaders for a new term,” Stallman said. “We must let them know that our nation can no longer afford political drama, manufactured crises and selfserving jackass stubbornness. We have grown tired of that ‘reality show.’”

Foreign dairies eye SD By David Rookhuyzen
Pierre (S.D.) Capital Journal
PIERRE, S.D. — In the mid-1990s Wim and Nicolien Hammink decided to move their dairy operation — not across the road, but across the Atlantic. They were running out of room in the Netherlands. “We had a rented farm of 50 cows, but the future looked not bright for us,” Nicolien says. One of their three sons wanted to join the business, but expansion was impossible with high land prices, crowding from larger farms nearby and a government-imposed quota system that meant steep fees if they produced too much milk. They originally planned to move to Wisconsin, where Wim had interned years before, but they found it too crowded. On the east and west coasts, it was the same story. Farther south was too warm for the cows. But just to the west Hammink says they found a place with land at the right price, a good milk market, decent feed prices and friendly people — South Dakota. Today, the couple runs a 2,400-cow dairy in Bruce, along with a side business of promoting the state and building the infrastructure for other dairies making the same move they did. The Hamminks’ experience is not unique. They are just one example of foreign dairies opting to immigrate to South Dakota, mostly along the Interstate 29 corridor, because of near-perfect dairying conditions in the state and lack of land or government quotas back home. David Skaggs, a dairy development specialist with the South Dakota Department of Agriculture, says there are currently 23 herds, or 20,350 cows, in the state belonging to transplanted foreign farms. In the past 10 years, about 35 dairies relocated to South Dakota from other parts of the country, Canada and Europe, he says. The simplest reason South Dakota looks appealing to these farms is because there is so much available land, especially compared to Europe, Skaggs says. “They sell their land by the square foot when you can come out here and buy 160 acres,” he says.
Restrictions
A foreign dairy looking to expand not only comes up against land restrictions, but often quota restrictions where any milk produced above a pre-determined
amount for the dairy is subject to levies. If the owner of a 120-cow dairy operation has a brother who wants to join the business, that owner could pay thousands of dollars per cow just to raise his production quota. It’s often cheaper to move here, where that brother could wind up milking 1,000 cows, Skaggs says. Hammink, who saw the system in the Netherlands and other parts of Europe, doesn’t remember it fondly. “I hope it never comes here,” she says. Professor Alvaro Garcia, an extension dairy specialist at South Dakota State University, says the state also attracts dairies because it can support a large cow population. Abundant grains, corn, alfalfa hay and soybeans, thanks to a processing plant in Volga, means the area can easily produce enough feed for the dairies’ cows. South Dakota is also good because of the weather, which is similar to northern Europe. Cows prefer a colder environment and produce well during the winter months here, Garcia says. But the concentration in the eastern part of the state is about more than climate and corn — quality of life is of major concern to immigrating farmers, he says. While all dairies have investors and employees, Garcia says he can only think of one that isn’t a traditional family-run business. Many are young families and want to be near larger population centers for good education and colleges. That historically has led those families to choose the I-29 corridor, he says. “If it’s just a corporation they can set up where they want,” Garcia says. To promote these advantages, Skaggs and others from the agriculture department travel to trade shows and events such as the World Dairy Expo, held annually in Madison, Wis., to speak with attending dairies. Hammink and her husband also have joined the push. They have gone to immigration shows in Europe, conducted tours of their dairy and helped others considering the move with permit and immigration requirements, she says. But immigration has slowed down in the past several years. Garcia says one reason is an increase in the cost of feed as the price of corn and soybeans has gone up. Skaggs says a combination of unrest and unstable markets in Europe and the fear of the fiscal cliff and the expiration of the 2008 farm bill domestically may have warded off interest. But it isn’t a permanent setback. There are already dairies from the Netherlands and Quebec lined up to look at land next year, he says. “I see next spring folks from Europe looking to come over,” Skaggs says.

Some citrus damaged
Associated Press
FRESNO, Calif. — California citrus growers began to see some damage to the mandarin crop Jan. 14, while winds up to 50 mph add to the misery in cities, where residents have been bundled up against record cold for several days. Temperatures in downtown Los Angeles plummeted to 34 degrees overnight, breaking the previous record of 36 degrees set on Jan. 14, 2007. Elsewhere Jan. 14, 2013, it was 13 degrees in high desert Lancaster; 25 degrees in Fresno; 27 in Temecula; 29 in Claremont; 33 in Redondo Beach and Sacramento; 34 in Palm Springs; 36 in Van Nuys; and 40 in San Francisco. In Angeles National Forest, where overnight temperatures have been dropping into the 20s, Arcadia hiker Danny Kim, 28, was found after surviving 26 hours in the frigid West Fork wilderness. Kim was airlifted to a hospital for treatment of hypothermia. The body of a homeless man was found just before dawn Jan. 14 on a Los Angeles Skid Row sidewalk, but it was unclear if the death was caused by the record cold. The name of the man, who appeared to be in his late 50s, wasn’t released Santa Ana winds have now joined the

Threatening crops
The winds helped keep most Southern California crops out of danger by keeping the cold from settling. But temperatures dipping into the 20s threatened mandarin oranges in the San Joaquin Valley. Paul Story of Exeter-based California Citrus Mutual, an association of the state’s 3,900 citrus growers, says some mandarin-growing areas in the western part of the valley may have significant damage. Mandarins are more susceptible to cold and are grown in areas that saw some of the lowest temperatures overnight. Other citrus crops have little or minimal damage, Story says. Temperatures dropped to 25 degrees in some areas and stayed low longer than usual. Growers have been running irrigation water and turning on wind machines to ward off the cold. “It’s the coldest so far,” says the mutual’s Alyssa Houtdy. The citrus mutual’s president, Joel Nelsen, says the wind helped in Southern California areas, but the cold got to

He says there is $1.5 billion worth of citrus on the trees. “We’re expecting some damage to border rows, those rows that are farthest away from protection,” Nelsen says. “They had the sprinklers and wind machines going all night.

Managing rental agreement risks
■
ND workshops aim to help
NDSU Extension Service
Landowners, renters and other agribusiness professionals with an interest in farmland ownership, management and leasing should consider attending a farmland leasing workshop sponsored by the North Dakota State University Extension Service. Workshops scheduled for January through March are as follows: ■ Jan. 23, 9 a.m., City Hall, Forman. ■ Jan. 23, 1:30 p.m., Fireside Restaurant, Ellendale. ■ Jan. 28, 1 p.m., McKenzie County Courthouse, Watford City. ■ Jan. 29, 9 a.m., Divide County Courthouse, Crosby. ■ Feb. 11, 1 p.m., Morton County Fairgrounds, New Salem. ■ Feb. 12, 9:30 a.m., Civic Center, Beulah. ■ Feb. 13, 1 p.m., American Legion, Finley. ■ Feb. 19, 1 p.m., Walsh County Extension office, Park River. ■ March 7, 9 a.m., Winter Show Building, Valley City. Rising land values, strong commodity prices and high production costs have made it more difficult for operators and landowners to successfully determine appropriate farmland lease arrangements. The workshops are offered to help landowners and renters identify and manage the risk associated with rental agreements. Dwight Aakre and Andy Swenson, extension farm management specialists, and Willie Huot, Grand Forks County extension agent, will be the main presenters. One of the topics is a historical perspective on farmland values and rents. Concepts and practical examples of how to determine equitable rents also will be presented. The main session will help participants better understand different rental arrangements, such as cash rent, share rent and flexible cash rent. There will be a session on how producers can improve their land rental negotiations by enhancing the communication process with landowners. This includes the use of resumes, portfolios and frequent communications to keep landowners informed and educated about their operation and vision for a particular tract of land.

University agrees to REPORTING AGRICULTURE'S BUSINESS gluten-free food
Settlement reached with Justice Department over federal law ■
By Travis Andersen
Center in Boston and a member of the hospital’s Celiac Center. She says a former patient who was studying at another college worked with the school’s health services staff to ensure that she had the proper accommodations. “There were a lot of people who came up to her and thanked her for doing that,” Wolf says.
Not in compliance
New York Times News Service
The U.S. Department of Justice has reached an agreement with Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass., that requires the school to continually provide gluten-free dining options to students, to ensure compliance with a federal law that protects people with disabilities, authorities say. Among the settlement’s terms, Lesley has also agreed to provide a space in its main dining hall to prepare and store gluten- and allergen-free foods and to pay a combined $50,000 in damages to a group of students who have celiac disease or other conditions, the Justice Department says. “By implementing this agreement, Lesley University will ensure students with celiac disease and other conditions can obtain safe and nutritional food options,” says Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department. According to the agreement, which was reached last month, the department received a complaint in 2009 that Lesley had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, because students who had celiac disease and other issues could not “fully and equally enjoy” the dining services. People with celiac disease suffer intestinal damage if they consume food products that contain gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats, according to the National Library of Medicine. The damage can cause a variety of health problems including abdominal pain, diarrhea and unexplained weight loss. “If somebody has this, then they really need to be pretty strict” about what they eat, says Jacqueline Wolf, a physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical
The government investigated Lesley and alleged that it did not comply with federal law, according to the agreement. “The university maintains that it has taken and will continue to take positive, good faith steps to make reasonable modifications to its food service policies, practices and procedures and to work with students on a case-by-case basis to address the needs of individual students with food allergies,” the agreement states. The Justice Department did not respond to an inquiry asking how many students initially complained about the dining services. MaryPat Lohse, a senior Lesley official, says only one student is believed to have filed the complaint, even though a number of people are entitled to a share of the cash award. She declined to elaborate, citing privacy reasons. She adds that most of the dining hall changes outlined in the agreement have already been made and that the university is working to meet the remaining provisions. According to the agreement, Lesley does not admit that it violated federal law. Thomas Murphy, senior attorney with the Disability Law Center, a statewide advocacy group, says he is not aware of similar settlements involving college dining services, though elementary and secondary schools have reached such agreements. He says the Lesley case “certainly could have wide-ranging implications” for area universities and that schools should read the accord to ensure their dining services are compliant. “All students at other schools have the same rights as the students at Lesley,” Murphy says.
NATIONAL NEWS 12 spots open for college students to travel to Brazil ■ INDIANAPOLIS – Collegiate FFA, a pro-
gram of the National FFA Organization, is now accepting applications for its 2013 International Collegiate Agricultural Leadership (ICAL) program. FFA will take 12 college students pursuing degrees in the agricultural field to Brazil this spring, tentatively scheduled from May 19 through June 1. The trip will allow selected students the opportunity to study global agriculture and international marketing. Students will learn about current
international trade and cultural issues and gain awareness of how international markets for agricultural products operate. Upon completion of the program, students will give educational presentations to local groups and organizations about their experiences. The ICAL program was developed as a partnership with the U.S. Grains Council and the Grains Foundation. Students do not have to have prior FFA experience to apply. The deadline for I-CAL applications is Jan. 30. Information: www.FFA.org/Collegiate.

Biofuel crop benefits
Perennial crops show lower nitrogen losses ■
By Debra Levey Larson
URBANA, Ill. — Perennial biofuel crops such as miscanthus, whose high yields have led them to be considered an eventual alternative to corn in producing ethanol, are now shown to have another beneficial characteristic — the ability to reduce the escape of nitrogen in the environment. In a four-year University of Illinois study that compared miscanthus, switchgrass and mixed prairie species to typical corn-corn-soybean rotations, each of the perennial crops were highly efficient at reducing nitrogen losses, and miscanthus had the greatest yield. “Our results clearly demonstrate that environmental nitrogen fluxes from row-crop agriculture can be greatly reduced after the establishment of perennial biofuel crops,” says Candice Smith, University of Illinois postdoctoral research associate. “Because of the establishment variability, we were able to compare annual row crops with perennial crops. Although in the first two years, nitrate leaching remained high in the non-established miscanthus crop, once a dense, productive crop was established in the second year of growth, nitrate leaching in tile drainage quickly decreased.” Smith says this ability to reduce the loss of nitrogen into the environment will prove to be beneficial. “Intensive corn production with large fertilizer inputs leads to large losses of nitrogen into the environment, both through gas emissions of nitrous oxide and leaching of nitrate to surface waters through tile drainage systems,” adds Mark David, University of Illinois biogeochemist. “Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas, and nitrate can contaminate drinking water supplies and leads to coastal ocean problems. The hypoxic zone that forms each summer in the Gulf of Mexico is a result of nitrate leaching from the tile-drained Corn Belt of the midwestern United States — a likely location for biofuel production.”
The research
In the study, funded by the Energy Biosciences Institute, miscanthus, switchgrass and mixed prairie species were compared against a typical corncorn-soybean rotation. Harvested biomass and nitrogen, nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching in the mid-soil profile and through tile drainage lines all were measured. The researchers found that the perennial crops quickly reduced nitrate leaching in the mid-soil profile, as well as from tile lines. “By year four, each of the perennial crops had small losses,” Smith says. “Nitrous oxide emissions also were much smaller in the perennial crops — including switchgrass, which was fertilized with nitrogen, while prairie and miscanthus were not. Overall, nitrogen levels were higher for the corn and soybean treatment, as well as switchgrass, but were lower for prairie and miscanthus. Prairie and miscanthus levels were lower due to harvest of the plant biomass (and nitrogen) each winter, with no fertilizer nitrogen additions to replace it, as occurred in corn and switchgrass.” David adds that the miscanthus and mixed prairie also had wide carbon-tonitrogen ratios in the harvested material — as much as 257 to 1 for miscanthus. “Miscanthus efficiently moved nitrogen from leaves to root and rhizome systems after the growing season, where it could be used again the next year,” David says. “The lower nitrogen level suggests that the small amount of nitrogen removed by harvest in prairie and miscanthus came from the large pool of soil nitrogen and/or nitrogen fixation. If the soil is the source, this could lead to depletion of this resource without fertilization. If microbial fixation supplied the nitrogen, this would be a more sustainable input.” David says that although more research is needed to fully understand the nitrogen cycle in these new and exciting biofuel crops such as miscanthus, results from this study clearly show these crops have the potential to quickly and greatly reduce nitrogen losses that have important environmental effects, while providing a large biomass harvest.

KMOT Expo is region’s biggest indoor ag show

Agweek Staff Writer
The 42nd KMOT Ag Expo rumbles into the North Dakota State Fair Center in Minot, N.D., making its appearance as the first farm trade show of the 2013 farming season. The show runs Jan. 23 through 25. Doors are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily. The center is located at 2005 Burdick Expressway. Gregg Schaefer, Ag Expo general manager, runs the event with Jeff Emmert, his assistant manager. The show involves more than 360 exhibitors and will feature some 1,010 booths. Agweek is a co-sponsor of an exhibitors event. The KMOT show annually brings in 35,000 to 40,000 attendees, with the bulk coming from north-central and north-

west North Dakota, but also from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and beyond. It is billed as the largest indoor agricultural show in the upper Midwest, and features the latest in agricultural equipment and services innovations. “You can expect to see the latest agricultural technology and equipment, along with several other exhibits that cover all areas of agriculture in Western North Dakota,” Schaefer says. He says other shows are coming up, but none offer the 400,000-square-foot exhibitor space, or the flow for visitors and exhibitors that this show does. “Every year is the same, but every year is also different,” Schaefer says, noting that many exhibitors will use the event to premiere their new products. Daily educational seminars in the center’s seminar room will be held by Pulse USA Inc. at 10 a.m. and Farm Credit Services at 11 a.m., regarding crop insurance issues. The North Dakota Soybean Council has 1 p.m. seminars on Jan. 24 and 25 only. More may be added, Emmert says. One of the features of the event is the
annual KMOT Living Ag Classroom, which has been featured since the 1980s. Fourth graders from elementary schools in the region learn about the farm-to-fork issues involving agriculture. The Living Ag Classroom has enjoyed amazing success, seeing more than 16,000 students, teachers and parents learn about the food chain since its beginning. The KMOT Ag Show features free admission and a shuttle bus from the parking areas. An official program with maps and seminar schedule is available at the KMOT/Bremer Information Booth.

The 2013 Ag Expo will be held Jan. 23 through 25.

Where does food come from?
Living Ag Classroom helps children understand
The Living Ag Classroom teaches children how food is produced and distributed. It has become one of the most popular aspects of the KMOT Ag Expo.

Agweek Staff Writer
Even in North Dakota, where agriculture is the leading industry, many school children don’t know a lot about ag, food or farming. That’s where the Living Ag Classroom, a staple of the annual KMOT Farm Show, comes in. More than 700 fourth graders from elementary schools in north-central and northwest North Dakota are expected to attend. “As farms get bigger, there just aren’t as many ties to agriculture as there used to be,” says Gregg Schaefer, general manager of the farm show. “They (school children) don’t know as much about it as they used to.” The 2013 show, the 42nd annual, will be held Jan. 23 to 25 at the North Dakota State Fairground in Minot, N.D. About 35,000 to 40,000 people are expected to attend. The Living Ag Classroom, which began in the late 1980s, has become one of the farm show’s most popular events. Hosted by 14 commodity groups, the classroom helps pupils learn more about how food is produced and distributed. Games and displays illustrate the process of how food makes its way from farmers’ fields to grocery store shelves. “We have a lot of versatility” in North Dakota agriculture, Schaefer says of the commodity groups involved. The state leads the nation in production of many crops, including wheat, barley and sunflowers and is a key producer of many others, including sugar beets and potatoes. Most of the pupils who attend the Living Ag Classroom are fourth graders, although some of the smaller schools also send fifth graders, Schaefer says. “That’s just a good age for them to learn about agriculture,” he says. More than 16,000 pupils have attended the annual classrooms since they began. Parents and teachers, as well as the general public, are invited to attend, as well. Sessions for the 2013 KMOT Living Ag Classrooms will be held at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on both Jan. 23 and Jan. 24. The classroom will be held in the Carousel beneath the grandstand.

Packers add to beef quality
Part 1 of a 2-part series
By Miranda Reiman
Anyone who thinks ranchers and feeders are the only ones who work long hours in the beef business has not talked with a foodservice distributor or thought about a chef burning the midnight oil. Anyone who thinks beef quality only rides on the production sector’s shoulders has not toured a packing plant or learned about aging and cut shops. There are real people at every link along the beef chain, working to add value, ensure safety and make sure the meat that starts on the farm or ranch gets sold at the price point consumers demand. During a Certified Angus Beef LLC tour of ranch country last fall, foodservice professionals made a stop at the Cargill Meat Solutions plant in Fort
Morgan, Colo. “After the ranch visits [the attendees] were bubbling over with excitement about the down-to-earth, passionate people they met — and when we got to the packing plant, we found the same type of people,” says Deanna WaReiman lenciak, CAB director of marketing and leader of that excursion. “That made such an impression. “Seeing every step is so important so they truly understand what an amazing and efficient business the packing plant is. To see the overwhelming amount of skilled work it takes to get it from animal to meat,” Walenciak says. Packers also have a great influence on the quality of the cattle that come into their plants, and the beef that goes out. South Dakota rancher Rich Blair once complained to a packer-buyer, say-
ing producers are never told what kind of animal packers want. “He said, ‘Yeah we have. We’ve laid our grids out there. We’ve told you what we wanted.’” “And I thought, ‘Holy smokes, he did,’” Blair says. “He told me he didn’t care if they were blue or green, but he’ll pay me if they grade Choice and he’ll pay me if they’re CABs and Primes.” Procurement strategies and price signals tell producers they want quality, but once the ranchers and feeders have set them up for success, it’s up to the packers to maintain that potential. “You only get one chance to handle them right,” says Phil Bass, CAB meat scientist. Animal handling when the cattle arrive — things like letting them rest and not comingling groups so they have to establish new pecking orders — can impact stress level. That ultimately makes a difference in the number of dark cutters and meat tenderness. Chilling is important for food safety, Bass says, so packers have to do it
quickly, but not too quickly. If they do, a phenomena known as “cold shortening” can cause the muscle to contract, and that hurts tenderness, too. “Then probably one of the most important steps is assigning the right grades on the carcasses when they get to the sales cooler,” says Bass. “When somebody buys a piece of Choice beef, it better really be Choice.” From a packer, beef can take different paths to the consumer, to a further processor, distributor, or directly to retail. People load the trucks; drivers make sure beef is kept at the right temperature until delivery; processors take great care in aging it. Ranchers depend on hundreds of people to make sure their product shines on its final stage: the plate.

“Always on” for team beef
Part 2 of a 2-part series
By Miranda Reiman
Cattlemen would no doubt get paid less for their product if they didn’t have dedicated foodservice distributors on their side. Not only do these people need to correctly assess demand, they must help create it. They work on education and menu creation, they help smaller restaurants figure pricing and in general provide a lot of support. They also age meat and do further trimming and packaging work for all those who don’t cut their steaks in house. When a rancher has had a long day weaning calves, he might be surprised to know his beef counterpart in the nearest urban center has kept similar hours. Take Dennis Hendrickson, district sales manager for Sysco-Boston. He’s often on the road as the sun comes up
and continues that trail until all of his customers are taken care of. “We carry [14,000] to 15,000 line items for next-day delivery,” he explains. “It’s highly probable at least one thing is going to go wrong. Whether the chef forgets to order it, you didn’t punch it in right, we were out of stock on it — which doesn’t happen very often, but it’s reality. My wife used to say, ‘Do you ever have a time when something doesn’t go wrong?’” Fridays get busy as restaurant operators realize what they’re running short on for the weekend. Salespeople often get panicked calls when chefs find themselves out of staple items. Hendrickson says the mantra among his team is, “We are right here Mr. Customer. Our job is to make sure you have every product you need to service your customer.” That’s only part of their role. Hendrickson says his clientele relies on him to provide expertise on where the market is going, to help explain new cuts and develop menu items.

“A lot of them are chief cooks and bottle washers, operators that are trying to make it,” he says. The stats are bleak — only two out of 10 restaurants do make it. But if Hendrickson has his way, that’ll change. He’s convinced that getting his customers to treat their beef purchases like an insurance policy is one way. “Do you know what the most expensive cost in a restaurant is?” he asks. “An empty seat. Once Friday night is closed down, you take all those empty seats and you can’t get those sales back.” Paying another 50 cents to $1 more than Choice beef is worth it for a premium product. “The more they get educated, they realize, ‘We have to serve good beef.’ I can charge $1 to $2 more to the customer, but it’ll get them in my restaurant,” Hendrickson says. Hendrickson’s “always on” hours aren’t the only thing he has in common with ranchers. He also feels a strong calling for his chosen profession.
At 15, he started as a dishwasher at a seafood restaurant. He worked his way through high school and a business management degree at Merrimac College. At 21, new degree in hand, Hendrickson continued his education at the school of hard knocks, helping in a family business and starting his own bar and grill. After major family health issues, Hendrickson sold The Usual Pub and Grill, but today it’s like he’s the manager of 350 restaurants. Hendrickson wants to change that reality from two in 10 restaurants surviving to at least three in 10. He also wants to keep his suppliers in business. “We have to work so that the [ranchers] of this world — their craft gets noticed,” he says.

Hay rustling
PAGE 14 - Monday, January 21, 2013 / AGWEEK
More thefts separating farmers from their chaff ■
By Jack Healy
New York Times News Service
DENVER — Across the heartland, ranchers, farmers and county sheriffs are grappling with a new scourge: hay rustling. Months of punishing drought and grass fires have pushed the price of hay, grain and other animal feed to near records, making the golden bales an increasingly irresistible target for thieves. Some steal them for profit. Others are fellow farmers acting out of desperation, their fields too brown to graze animals and their finances too wrecked to afford enough feed for their cattle. “It’s the economics of the times,” says Jack McGrath, the undersheriff in Colorado’s Weld County, where hay thefts rose to 15 last year from seven in 2011. At Mark Reifenrath’s farm in northern Colorado, the thieves struck at night. Two men driving a stolen pickup opened an unguarded farm gate by the side of the road, rolled into Reifenrath’s alfalfa field and headed toward their quarry: 800-pound square bundles of freshly cut hay. They set to work that October night, hefting two bales onto a flatbed trailer.
They might have gotten more, but an employee happened by and noticed flashlight beams bouncing around in the darkness. Something was up. He yelled out, and the men disappeared into a patch of cattails, leaving behind a half-loaded trailer. “Maybe it’s not the crime of the century, but it affects us,” Reifenrath says. Sheriffs in rural counties in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma say the spike in hay thefts is part of a broader rise in agricultural crime. California’s farmers have grappled recently with growing thefts of grapes, beehives and avocados, and sheriffs say high prices of scrap metal have made agricultural machinery — whether it works or not — an appealing target. Dubious online merchants are selling feed to farmers, but never delivering. On the range, wire fences are being clipped to allow interloping herds to poach grazing land. Most thieves make off with less than a ton of hay — about $200 to $300 worth, depending on the quality. But on Labor Day in Wellington, Colo., thieves hotwired a front-end loader and stole enough hay from Conrad T. Swanson’s ranch to fill the flatbed trailer of a semi. “It’s not like someone was just driving by and took enough to feed a horse,” Swanson says.

왖 Bales of alfalfa are dusted with snow on a field east of Park River, N.D. could do little to prevent the thefts or catch the culprits. Most of the hay is nipped at night along remote roads, from fields and barns hundreds of yards from the nearest home. Because one bundle of hay tends to look like every other one, once a bale is stolen, reclaiming it is harder than finding a needle in a — well, nevermind. To ward off the hay thieves, farmers are padlocking their gates and painting their bales with their brands. Some are splicing their hay with ribbons that mark their ownership. In Tillman County, Okla., hay thefts became so rampant that Sheriff Bobby Whittington decided to lay a trap. He bugged a bale in a particularly theftprone field with a global positioning
system unit and waited, sure that thieves would strike. Sure enough, his phone rang one night last March with the news that the tracking device was on the move. The sheriff hopped into his car and headed toward the signal. When he reached it, he found his culprits, and the bugged bale. Pulling them over, he says, he told the driver, “We need to talk about that hay bale you’ve got there.” The men were belligerent at first, Whittington says, until he explained how he had tracked them down. Before being arrested, the driver offered a plea. “He just hung his old head and said, ‘Can I take it back?’” Whittington says. “And I said, ‘No.’”

Ag Systems Inc.
Atom-Jet Industries
Ag Systems Inc. was founded more than 47 years ago by Dick Lenz. Within that time, Ag Systems has built a reputation of being a leading manufacturer of anhydrous ammonia equipment, liquid applicators, pulltype spreaders, nurse tanks and the legendary Brute bumper. In addition, Ag Systems is the oldest distributor for the Case application equipment line, covering Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. Furthermore, Ag Systems also carries the Layco in-plant equipment line, Snyder tanks, New Leader products and a wide variety of parts for the fertilizer industry. Ag Systems is headquartered in Hutchinson, Minn., and has locations in Manvel, N.D., Mitchell, S. D., and Deforest, Wis.
Atom-Jet Group first began operations on Aug. 8, 1962 under the banner Atom-Jet Industries. W.A. (Wally) Coburn, along with his two sons Clare and Jim, began a legacy of innovation with a new design of humidifiers for furnaces, setting a precedent for the future. The Coburns founded the company with a vision of creativity, quality workmanship and fair dealings — a philosophy still embraced in the organizations today. This effective strategy quickly developed Atom-Jet as a dependable resource, synonymous with success within the community of Brandon, Manitoba. In 1965, Atom-Jet Industries acquired Precision Machining, utilizing this service for its humidifiers, but also to satisfy a growing need of manual ma-
chining within the area. On Jan. 31, 1967, a fire destroyed the building, forcing the brothers to reevaluate their future. This resulted in Jim moving on, while Clare decided to forge ahead and continue the family business. Only five months later, in June of 1967, Atom-Jet Industries was rebuilt and re-opened for business and today remains in its original location. In the late 1970s, Atom-Jet Industries took another step in expansion as it began production of sprockets. This required the addition of CNC Machining capabilities, which solidified the Machining & Advanced Manufacturing Division. Fast forward to the early 1990s — Clare Coburn was looking to expand once again into manufacturing. This eventually came to fruition as a result of the revolutionary zero-till seeding technique newly adopted in Canada. Atom-Jet launched into the production of seed openers and pioneered it with the addition of carbide for strength and durability — a method now common within the agricultural industry.
In the past 20 years, the agriculture division has enjoyed international growth and is now represented in Canada, the U.S., Australia, Russia and Ukraine. This division also embodies Atom-Jet Group’s corporate vision of leadership through innovation. The research and development team within this department has collaborated to launch seven new products to market in a five-year timeline. As a result, the custom brazing carbide application division emerged and flourished, now providing solutions to a varied group of industries including oil and gas, and mining. Craig Senchuk and Barry LaRocque applied their personal experience in finance and mechanical applications to fast track the organization, guided by Clare’s vision and strong values. As a result, Atom-Jet Group has realized unprecedented growth and has been recognized as one of Manitoba’s Top 50 fastest growing companies in the past decade. In 2009, Atom-Jet Group added a new

Diamond Equipment
Fair Manufacturing’s Snocrete snow blowers feature an efficient singlestage design that requires less horsepower, has fewer moving parts and is more resilient to foreign objects than comparable two-stage designs. Each fan features bolt-on replaceable ice chopper bars and shear pin protection. Chopper bar design breaks up snow at the cutting edges for an easy feed unlike other single-stage designs that tunnel into hard packed snow higher up and don’t break up snow and ice at the cutting edges. With auto chain lubrication, Snocrete snow blowers are designed with the end user in mind, saving time and money.
Fillbrandt’s Bigg Dogg Agg
Originally started in 1964 as a machine shop, Diamond has always been associated with quality and precision truck equipment. It was a natural spin off in the 60s, since no one in the area offered this service. From frame stretching, adding axles, shortening and reinforcing boxes and hoists to custom fabrication, our work can be seen as far away as Alaska, Quebec, Connecticut and Tampa, Fla. We pride ourselves on taking on the tough projects and making them work for the customer. During the past 47 years, we have seen the farm economy go from a 13.5foot box and hoist up to a 22-foot triaxle truck or 42-foot grain trailer. Diamond is proud to represent the Jet Grain Trailer, the best trailer around. Diamond offers a full repair and installation shop, offering certified steel and aluminum welding, a full paint facility and body shop facility, so if you need a complete rebuild or restoration, we can handle it. Four generations later, Diamond still stands for quality and very competitive prices. If you are in the area, stop in. We are only a half a mile off Interstate 94. We stock popular pieces such as dump bodies, farm bodies, tag axles, grain trailers, bale beds, gooseneck bodies, pickup accessories, truck hoists, cranes, service bodies, roll tarps and a large selection of used equipment and trucks.

the market that met his needs. They are in their ninth year of manufacturing the Spout with more than 2,000 satisfied customers in Canada, the United States and New Zealand. The Never Spill Spout is easy to install; it is attached to the discharge end of the grain auger just like any other auger spout. It fits augers from 8 to 16 inches. The NSS is placed about 2 to 4 feet into the grain bin from the top of the bin. Once the grain reaches the bottom of the spout, the grain pushes a sensor switch and an alarm alerts the operator that the bin is full. Once the alarm is on, continued filling results in the grain flowing out the side of the NSS, preventing plugging of the auger and giving the operator time to shut down the auger. The NSS comes with a 12-volt halogen night light placed at the discharge end of the auger. This light is very convenient for night operation when moving the auger to a different bin. It also serves as a check to ensure that the system is energized. The NSS system is 12 volt, and plugs into the standard seven-prong outlet of tractors. For older tractors without the outlet, we can supply the seven-prong receptacle to be permanently installed on the tractor. This system ensures that no additional batteries have to be bought, charged and maintained. The Never Spill Spout eliminates the need for individual bin fill indicators. From a safety perspective, farmers using the Never Spill Spout will never have to climb high bin ladders to visually check grain levels, no more spilling grain or plugging augers. Although the inventors are distributing through a dealer network, most of their sales have been through word of mouth. Check out the website: www.neverspillspout.com and visit them during the KMOT Ag Expo in the Western Ag Service Hall, Booth 218.
