JACKSON, Minn. — It is muchrarer for the public to see modern-day ag technology being developedup-close, than it is for the public tosee machinery manufacturers ofyesteryear.

AGCO Corp. has set a new stan-dard for transparency in modernmachinery development in the re-gion. The company opened its Intiv-ity Centerand plantexpansionin Jack-son,Minn., inJune. Thefacility isjust off of Interstate 90, less than 100miles east of Sioux Falls, S.D.Among other things, it features itsimpressive Intivity Center, open tothe public for tours on Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays.

The company hosted a two-dayopen house for 600 dealers in earlyJune. Since then, about 5,000 havecome through the facility — 30 per-cent from the general public, drawnin from a billboard on the highway.

The plant itself employs nearly1,200 people in a town of 3,500. To-gether, they make about 5,000 or6,000 units of various kinds of equip-ment each year — mainly large trac-tors and sprayers.

By Mikkel PatesAgweek Staff Writer

FARGO, N.D. — Should North Dakotafarmers be able to collect prevent-plantcrop insurance payments in 2012 on ex-cessively wet acres, despite being in themiddle of a drought?

Some North Dakota farmers and otherofficials think so. They say some crop in-surance companies are unfairly refusingto recognize the prevent-plant, or PP,claims in 2012, even though they say theacres were too wet to plant.

Mike Clemens, a Wimbledon, N.D.,farmer, has held leadership positions incorn and sunflower organizations in thestate and nation. Clemens says some ofhis acres couldn’t be planted in early2012 because of carryover saturationfrom the spring of 2011, adding that tor-rential rains last summer were a “newcause of loss” for spring planting thisyear.

Federal officials say the PP rules areapplied on a case-by-case basis, and havenot changed since a special provisionsstatement was published in November.That statement specified six provisions,the only new one being that the PP acrehad to have been planted to an insuredcrop at least once in the past four years.

The statement applied to the prairiepothole states of North Dakota, SouthDakota, Minnesota and Iowa for PP eligi-

bility, says Kathy Gilbertson, a senior riskmanagement specialist for the agency re-gional office in Billings, Mont.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’sRisk Management Agency published abulletin in June that clarified the rulesagain, but did not change them. Gilbert-son says the bulletin was prompted bycomplaints from farmers upset they werebeing denied in some cases.

One long-standing condition for denialis the presence of cattails or other water-loving plants on acres for which farmershave filed claims. “That’s been in ourprocedures since 2006,” she says. “It’s notnew.”

Nearly 5.5 million acres were un-planted in 2011 in North Dakota becauseof excess moisture. As of Sept. 5, farmersin the state had reported 592,782 prevent-plant acres in 2012, according to theRMA. That number could change ifclaims are denied or if some additionalacres are not yet processed into the sys-tem.

Still too wet?Clemens says there are acres that legit-

imately should be compensated underPP rules because they’re still too wet.

“A lot of farms had 5 percent of theiracres that still couldn’t get planted,”Clemens estimates. He says farmers paidprevent-plant insurance premiums onthose acres and he listed rains between

June and August in 2011 as the reason fora PP claim on his farms. “It was about 200percent of precipitation for that time pe-riod,” he says.

Clemens is claiming acres that wereplanted in 2008, but the insurance com-pany has told him the 2007 to 2008 cropyear shouldn’t count because it was anabnormally dry season. But Clemensthinks that year may be more normalthan recent wet years.

He says records show rainfall in thearea in 2011 was 150 to 300 percent of nor-mal. Gilbertson declines to comment onhis specific case, but says these thingsare provable on a case-by-case basis.

Doug Goehring, North Dakota commis-sioner of agriculture, says he’s been try-ing to sort it out since June and that hisphone has been “ringing off the hook.”He thinks RMA should stand behind theone-in-four year planting rule. He addsthat cattails grow from blowing seed andcan be established within a year’s time,so are not a reliable guide to determinewhat’s eligible for PP coverage.

Not automaticGilbertson says the one-in-four year

provision got so much publicity thatfarmers misunderstood its significance.

“Just because you planted (in 2008 orsubsequent years) doesn’t mean you auto-matically qualify in 2012,” she says,adding that the cause of loss for 2012 had

to occur between March 15, 2011 and theend of June 2012.

Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., on Aug. 31,phoned RMA Administrator WilliamMurphy and asked him to “honor theterms of the revised rules” for PP appli-cation in prairie pothole states of NorthDakota, Minnesota, South Dakota andIowa. Nothing had changed as of Sept. 5,according to a Hoeven spokesman, whosays about 30 farmers have been in con-tact with his office about it recently. Therule was “formerly applied inconsis-tently,” Hoeven says, adding that it “un-dermines the entire intent of last year’sprogram change.”

In North Dakota, Clemens says the situ-ation is a problem from Minot to DevilsLake to Lisbon, where PP acres havebeen most prevalent.

Gilbertson says farmers have the op-tion to sign the claim or not, and go to ar-bitration. The farmer would prepare aseparate set of worksheets requesting theclaim be paid as he or she would like.She says the normal precipitation periodwas considered 1970 to 2000 until it wasupdated earlier this year to 1980 to 2010,which increased normal precipitation byabout an inch in North Dakota.

Clemens thinks that’s wrong. “We’d likea fair shake, right out of the chute,” hesays. “We don’t want to go through ap-peals procedures with thousands of pro-ducers.”

� Complete banon slaughtera positive effectfor horse welfareBy Jo-Claire Corcoran

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Iread the recent cover storyabout the proposed horseslaughter plants in the U.S. (Ag-week, Aug. 27) To say the plantsare having problems gettingopened is an understatement.

The New Mexico plant ownersalready have publicly statedthey are no longer seeking toslaughter horses. Remember,this is a plant that was shutdown in February for inhumanetreatment of cattle and recentlywas fined more than $80,000 forenvironmental violations withthe composting pile.

The plant in Rockville, Mo.,has a miasma of legal problemsthat will have to be worked outand settled before anything canopen there — horse, cattle orwhatever. Fraud, liens and otherissues are a part of a scheme bycertain parties to bilk others outof funds.

The Oregon plant? Well, the

local government is totallyagainst a horse slaughter plantopening. The waterways thereare protected. What everyoneseems to forget is we don’t raisehorses in the U.S. for food. Thehorses being sent to slaughterare obtained from sources suchas auctions, Craigslist and oth-ers, some in illegal processes.

Horse meat is not safe forhuman consumption. As recentlyas July, a kill buyer was fined forfalsifying the Equine Informa-tion Document form and know-ingly sending a horse toslaughter which tested positivefor bute and clenbuterol. Bothare banned substances. Thereare no withdrawal times forbanned substances. Addition-ally, before the defunding lan-guage was being placed in thebill, this country already wasshipping horses to Canada andMexico. No one seemed to beconcerned about those horsesthen.

The horses going to slaughterare not old, sick or infirmedhorses — they are sound, young,healthy horses per the U.S. De-partment of Agriculture records.Average ages are 5 to 9, with themajority being quarter horses.This stands to reason since theAmerican Quarter Horse Associ-ation has been offering breeding

incentives and trying to becomethe largest breed registry. Well,the AQHA succeeded, and themajority of the horses are goingto slaughter. A Government Ac-countability Office report statedthree options — one was makechanges with USDA’s Animaland Plant Health InspectionService to lift the defunding lan-guage or completely ban theslaughter and transport ofhorses for slaughter.

A complete ban is the onlyway to have a positive effect onhorse welfare.

Please explain to me howslaughtering a horse helps thathorse. Slaughter doesn’t stopabuse and neglect. People whoabuse and neglect horses do sono matter what options are avail-able. Most people do not want tosend their horses to slaughter.Abuse and neglect is directly re-lated to the unemployment rate,and this holds true for all com-panion animals. (The U.S. Foodand Drug Administration doesclassify horses as companion an-imals.) I have to question an agpublication that would promotethe slaughter of animals notraised for food, knowing themedications we give our horses,and knowing those medicationsare known carcinogens.

Is our meat export industry

worth the risk of people eatingadulterated meat from an ani-mal we did not raise for food?What happens to our beef ex-ports or our pork exports then,when other countries determineU.S.-raised meat products arenot safe to eat?

Next year, European Unionregulations for exports of horsemeat go into effect. By Aug. 1, theU.S. must have a “passport” pro-gram in place to track the med-ications and products used onour horses. This document mustbe assigned to the horse beforeit is 6 months old and must ac-company the horse for life.Every medication and productmust be administered by a vet-erinarian and documented. Thatmeans any de-wormer — if yourhorse starts to colic, you wouldnot be able to administer ba-namine without a veterinarian.If the horse receives any medica-tion from the banned list, thathorse must be deemed unaccept-able for slaughter for humanconsumption. Implementing aprogram like this would takemore funding from our govern-ment, more personnel and,frankly, we can’t afford it.

Horse slaughter holdup

� Too muchis going towaste

Bismarck (N.D.) Tribune

BISMARCK, N.D. — NorthDakota needs to have more of itsnatural gas captured and put togood use. It’s an environmentalissue. It’s an economic issue.

More than 30 percent of thenatural gas produced in the stateis flared — burned off at the wellsite. That’s too high. Nationally,only 1 to 2 percent gets burnedoff.

Natural gas flaring here isn’t anew issue. The oil boom onlymakes it a harder problem tosolve. The oversupply of naturalgas drives down the price, mak-ing it harder to find capital to in-

vest in pipeline expansion.Building infrastructure to gathernatural gas in new oil fields typi-cally is a matter of playing catch-up. As it is, millions of dollarsare being spent to develop anadequate natural gas pipelinenetwork.

The irony is that the flarednatural gas could be used tomanufacture nitrogen fertilizers(anhydrous ammonia) that canbe used in the state’s corn andwheat fields. Fertilizer costshave gone from about $100 a tonin the 1990s to $850 a ton today,according to North Dakota Agri-culture Commissioner DougGoehring. Converting natural gasin the Bakken to fertilizerswould do much to bring downthe fertilizer price.

A New York company wants tobuild a portable fertilizer plantthat could be moved among oilwells in North Dakota. It would-

n’t have to wait for the pipelinesto reach new wells, and it couldreduce flaring, separate valu-able natural gas byproducts andproduce fertilizer. It seems to bea smart, innovative and practicalanswer to a difficult problem —except the company wants a $1million grant from North Dakota;a quarter of the cost of develop-ing the prototype.

The Industrial Commission —made up of state officials Gov.Jack Dalrymple, Attorney Gen-eral Wayne Stenehjem andGoehring — did the right thingrecently when it delayed a re-sponse to N-Flex LLC. It doesn’tmean the commission isn’t goingto bite. It means, we hope, thatthe commission’s staff is going todo due diligence on N-Flex andits proposal. The commissionsaid it wanted more informationon the company’s financial as-sumptions and feasibility of the

project. The state may be flush,but the Industrial Commissiongot it right in not pulling the trig-ger on that kind of money with-out a thorough review.

It’s always a worry whenthere’s only one company knock-ing at your door.

The Industrial Commissiondoes have another fertilizer pro-posal in the works. A Fargo-based company received$100,000 from the IndustrialCommission to study building a$1 billion farmer-owned fertil-izer plan in the Upper Midwest.

North Dakota is helping de-velop smart options to flaringnatural gas. It takes time andmoney. The Industrial Commis-sion needs to keep the pressureon industry to develop practicaland effective solutions for thestate’s environmental and eco-nomic future.

OPINION

By Andy SwensonFARGO, N.D. — The proposed farm

bills (with one exception) for the 2013 to2017 period are languishing in Congressand have a hole in the safety net. Itwould take a few years to expose thehole and odds now seem low that itwould occur, but it is there just waiting.

The main safety net is crop insur-ance, with revenue insurance being themost popular type of policy. It ac-counted for 85 percent of the 189 mil-lion acres of corn, soybeans and wheatthat were insured this year.

Revenue insurance uses average pro-duction history (APH) yield multipliedby price and then multiplied by level ofcoverage to determine the amount ofrevenue guarantee. Therefore, if theAPH or price declines, so will the guar-antee. The price used is determinedfrom a time period of one month.

Fortunately, we have experiencedseveral years of historically high prices,which have provided a strong crop in-surance safety net. Unfortunately, thisperiod, not coincidently, has ushered inrecord high costs. For example, the costper acre of raising wheat in NorthDakota has doubled since 2006.

The hole in the safety net will be ex-posed when there is a significant dropin prices. The crop insurance revenue

guarantee will fall, but costs likely willremain high, at least initially. This canpotentially expose producers to a largefinancial loss.

In this situation, what can shore upincome? Shallow-loss programs such asthe proposed Agriculture Risk Cover-age of the Senate farm bill and the Rev-enue Loss Program (RLC) of the Housefarm bill would only cover up to 10 per-cent of crop income shortfalls when cer-tain criteria are met.

Also, these programs have similarshortcomings as revenue crop insur-ance does, but they are slower-acting.Limited payments are made when a cal-culated “actual crop revenue” is lessthan a calculated “benchmark rev-enue.” Five-year Olympic average mar-keting year prices are used in thedetermination of the benchmark rev-enue. The impact of falling prices onthese safety nets is slower because amultiyear average price is used.

In concept, the programs that providethe last line of defense against the im-pact of falling prices and could stuffthis hole in the farm safety net are thecurrent Marketing Loan and Counter-cyclical Payment programs and the pro-posed Price Loss Coverage program inthe House farm bill.

Loan rates under the current market-

ing loan program are an old componentof the farm safety net dating back to the1933 farm bill. Its mechanisms haveevolved through time, but the loan rateessentially puts a revenue floor on eachbushel produced. The higher the loanrate, the better the safety net. From1998 through 2001, market prices wereat or below loan rates and large loandeficiency payments were made to pro-ducers. Loan rates, however, have notkept pace to protect revenue againstever-escalating production costs.

Loan rates have changed little duringthe past 18 years. In fact, the currentsoybean loan rate is lower than it wasin 1980. During the past five years (2007through 2011), loan rates averaged lessthan one-half of market prices. All farmprogram proposals have no change inloan rates.

The Countercyclical Payment (CCP)program was initiated in the 2002 farmbill after a series of ad hoc disasterbills during low price years was neces-sary to shore up farm income. Counter-cyclical payments are determined bythe relationship of target prices to mar-ket prices. If market prices are belowthe effective target price, payments aretriggered.

Unlike loan deficiency payments,these payments are not tied to current

production. Instead, payments aremade based on historic production(program yields and base acres). Likeloan rates, CCP target prices are toolow to be considered an adequatesafety net.

CCP is eliminated in the 2012 farmbills proposed in both the Senate andHouse versions.

The best chance to plug the hole inthe price safety net is the Price LossCoverage program proposed in theHouse farm bill. Producers would haveto choose between the PLC and RLCshallow-loss program if this bill be-comes law.

Like the current CCP program, PLCpayments are made when the marketprice is lower than a target or referenceprice. But payments are made on 85percent of current planted acres, not onhistoric base acres.

The PLC reference prices are muchhigher than the CCP target prices. Forinstance, the reference price underPLC would be $8.40 per bushel for soy-beans, compared with the effective tar-get price of $5.56 per bushel under CCP.

LATESTNEWSJapanese company building

grain elevator in ND� BUCYRUS, N.D. – A Japanese conglomerate is build-ing a new grain elevator in southwest North Dakota, givingthe company easier access to the wheat Japan already im-ports from the upper Great Plains. Jim Peterson, marketingdirector for the North Dakota Wheat Commission, saysJapan buys about 24 million bushels of the state’s hard redspring wheat annually. “Japan has a huge amount at stakein North Dakota production,” Peterson says. United GrainCorp., an exporter of wheat, corn and soybeans and a partof Mitsui & Co. Inc., is building an $18 million grain elevatornear Bucyrus, about 60 miles south of Dickinson. It will becapable of storing 1 million bushels of grain, and TonyFlagg, United Grain President, expects to be able to load25 to 30 shuttle trains annually. Mitsui also is building newelevators at Conrad and Culbertson in Montana, Flaggsays. The company already runs a grain elevator west ofBillings, Mont., and United Grain operates an export facilityin Vancouver, Wash. The new elevator will give NorthDakota farmers another option for selling their grain andcould improve the prices they receive, Flagg says.

Crystal union members picket board members� CROOKSTON, Minn. – As the American Crystal Sugarlockout drags into its 13th month, union members are tak-ing the fight to the doorstep of the company’s directors.Locked-out workers demonstrated in front of the homes ofCrystal directors last week, in a bid to drive home the lock-out’s human toll. “We can’t let board members live in ivorytowers when it’s under their control,” says Todd Anderson,an AFL-CIO leader who is helping coordinate the demon-strations. “In the morning and in the evening, they shouldhave to look a locked-out worker in the face.” Workers aregathering in groups of two to six in multiple locations tobegin and end the work day, Anderson says. He adds thatthe demonstrations are not meant to overwhelm neighbor-hoods with protests or picket lines. “It’s more of a vigil,” he

says. He says the demonstrations will continue indefinitely.Workers were outside five homes in Crookston, Ada andEast Grand Forks in Minnesota and Drayton and Minto inNorth Dakota.

Mediation service availablefor disaster assistance

� BISMARCK, N.D. – North Dakota Agriculture Commis-sioner Doug Goehring says the North Dakota MediationService can help eligible North Dakota farmers and ranch-ers deal with the necessary paperwork for newly an-nounced, federal disaster assistance. Producers cancontact their local FSA office to learn more about theseloans and their eligibility and can call NDMS at 800-642-4752 for additional assistance. Producers have eightmonths to apply for an FSA emergency loan. Goehringsays the Farm and Ranch Disaster Relief Loan Programthrough the Bank of North Dakota is again available forfarmers and ranchers in drought emergency areas.

NBA addresses commitment to bison genetics� WESTMINSTER, COLO. – New informational materialsavailable from the National Bison Association set therecord straight regarding the presence of cattle genetics inbison herds in the United States. A new fact sheet titled“What’s all the Bull About Crossing Bison and Beef?” ex-plains the commitment that today’s ranchers have to theintegrity of bison genetics and also provides informationregarding events that occurred as bison teetered on thebrink of extinction in the late 1800s. As explained in thenew fact sheet, DNA tests on more than 30,000 bison con-ducted by Texas A&M University in recent years havefound evidence of cattle genetics in roughly 6 percent ofthe animals tested. The traces of cattle genetics in somebison are largely the result of a brief experiment conductedby five ranchers who helped gather up the remnants of theonce-vast bison herds in the late 1800s, according to thefact sheet. “Some of those ranchers experimented brieflywith crossing bison with cattle in the hope of creating a

hearty crossbreed. They discovered instead that the cross-bred animals were highly infertile, had problems calvingand generally performed poorly,” the fact sheet notes.Dave Carter, executive director of the National Bison Asso-ciation, says the new educational materials were devel-oped to clear up confusion for bison consumers. “MotherNature spent thousands of years perfecting this animal tobe an integral part of the environment and the diet of thepeople of North America. Our association’s code of ethicsexplicitly prohibits members from crossbreeding bison withother species because we know that bison should bebison.”

USDA designates 7 NDcounties as disaster areas

� WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculturehas designated seven counties in North Dakota as primarynatural disaster areas because of damages and lossescaused by the recent drought. The counties are Barnes,Grand Forks, Nelson, Trail, Cass, Griggs and Steele. “Ourhearts go out to those North Dakota farmers and ranchersaffected by the recent natural disasters,” says U.S. Agricul-ture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “President Obama and I arecommitted to ensuring that agriculture remains a brightspot in our nation’s economy by sustaining the successesof America’s farmers, ranchers and rural communitiesthrough these difficult times. We’re also telling NorthDakota producers that USDA stands with you and yourcommunities when severe weather and natural disastersthreaten to disrupt your livelihood.” Farmers and ranchersin some counties in North Dakota also qualify for naturaldisaster assistance because their counties are contiguous.Those counties includes Benson, LaMoure, Richland,Eddy, Ramsey, Stutsman, Foster, Ransom and Walsh.Farmers and ranchers in Clay, Marshall, Norman and Polkcounties in Minnesota also qualify for natural disaster as-sistance because their counties are contiguous.

� Researcherscompare with

conventional foodsBy Kenneth ChangNew York Times News Service

Does an organic strawberry containmore vitamin C than a conventionalone?

Maybe — or maybe not.Stanford University scientists have

weighed in on the “maybe not” side ofthe debate after an extensive examina-tion of four decades of research com-paring organic and conventional foods.

They concluded that fruits and veg-etables labeled organic were, on aver-age, no more nutritious than theirconventional counterparts, which tendto be far less expensive. Nor were theyany less likely to be contaminated bydangerous bacteria such E. coli.

The researchers also found no obvi-ous health advantages to eating organicmeats.

Conventional fruits and vegetablesdid have more pesticide residue, butthe levels were almost always under theallowed safety limits, the scientistssays. The Environmental ProtectionAgency sets the limits at levels it saysdo not harm humans.

“When we began this project, wethought that there would likely be somefindings that would support the superi-ority of organics over conventionalfood,” says Dena Bravata, a senior affil-iate with Stanford’s Center for HealthPolicy and the senior author of thepaper, which appears in the Annals ofInternal Medicine. “I think we weredefinitely surprised.”

The conclusions will almost certainlyfuel the debate over whether organicfoods are a smart choice for healthierliving or a marketing tool that gulls peo-ple into overpaying. The organic pro-duce market has grown quickly, up 12percent to $12.4 billion last year, ac-cording to the Organic Trade Associa-tion. Organic meat has a smaller shareof the market, at $538 million last year,the trade group says. The production oforganic food is governed by a raft ofregulations that generally prohibit theuse of synthetic pesticides, hormonesand additives.

Unlikely switchThe findings seem unlikely to sway

many fans of organic food. Advocatesfor organic farming says the Stanfordresearchers failed to appreciate the dif-ferences they did find between the twotypes of food — differences that vali-dated the reasons people usually citefor buying organic. Organic produce, asexpected, was much less likely to retaintraces of pesticides. Organic chickenand pork were less likely to be contami-nated by antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

“Those are the big motivators for theorganic consumer,” says ChristineBushway, executive director of thetrade association.

The study also found that organicmilk contained more omega-3 fattyacids, which are considered beneficialfor the heart.

“We feel organic food is living up toits promise,” says Sonya Lunder, a sen-ior analyst with the EnvironmentalWorking Group, which publishes listshighlighting the fruits and vegetableswith the lowest and highest amounts ofpesticide residues.

The Stanford researchers say that byproviding an objective review of thecurrent science of organic foods, their

goal was to allow people to make in-formed choices.

In the study — known as a meta-analysis, in which previous findings areaggregated, but no new laboratory workis conducted — researchers combineddata from 237 studies, examining a widevariety of fruits, vegetables and meats.For four years, they performed statisti-cal analyses looking for signs of healthbenefits from adding organic foods tothe diet.

The researchers did not use any out-side financing for their research.

“I really wanted us to have no percep-tion of bias,” Bravata says.

One finding of the study was that or-ganic produce, overall, containedhigher levels of phosphorus than con-ventional produce. But because almosteveryone gets adequate phosphorusfrom a wide variety of foods, the re-searchers say, the higher levels in theorganic produce is unlikely to conferany health benefit.

The organic produce also containedmore compounds known as phenols, be-lieved to help prevent cancer, than con-ventional produce. While the differencewas statistically significant, the size ofthe difference varied widely from studyto study, and the data was based on thetesting of small numbers of samples.

“I interpret that result with caution,”Bravata says.

Other variables, like ripeness, had agreater influence on nutrient content.Thus, a lush peach grown with the useof pesticides could easily contain morevitamins than an unripe organic one.

The study’s conclusions about pesti-cides did seem likely to please organicfood customers. Overall, the Stanfordresearchers concluded that 38 percentof conventional produce tested in thestudies contained detectable residues,compared with 7 percent for the or-

ganic produce. (Even produce grown or-ganically can be tainted by pesticideswafting over from a neighboring field orduring processing and transport.) Theyalso noted a couple of studies thatshowed children who ate organic pro-duce had fewer pesticide fragments intheir urine.

Based on nutritionBravata agrees that people purchase

organic food for a variety of reasons —concerns about the effects of pesticideson young children, the environmentalimpact of large-scale conventionalfarming and the potential public healththreat if antibiotic-resistant bacterialgenes jumped to human pathogens.

“Those are perfectly valid,” she says.The analysis also did not take factors

such as taste into account.But if the choice were based mainly

on the hope that organic foods wouldprovide more nutrients, “I would saythere is not robust evidence to chooseone or the other,” she says.

The argument that organic produce ismore nutritious “has never been amajor driver” in why people choose topay more, says Lunder, the Environ-mental Working Group analyst.

Rather, the motivation is to reduceexposure to pesticides, especially forpregnant women and their young chil-dren. Organic food advocates point to,for example, three studies publishedlast year, by scientists at Columbia Uni-versity, the University of California,Berkeley and Mount Sinai Hospital inManhattan, N.Y. The studies identifiedpregnant women exposed to higheramounts of pesticides known asorganophosphates, then followed theirchildren for years. In elementaryschool, those children had, on average,IQs several points lower than those oftheir peers.

� Investigationcontinues into

inhumane treatmentallegations at Calif.slaughterhouse

By Tracie ConeAssociated Press

FRESNO, Calif. — Federal investiga-tors probing a slaughterhouse after anundercover video showed inhumanetreatment of cows said Aug. 31 thatthere is no evidence that sick animalsentered the food supply.

A spokesman for the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture announced that ateam of investigators at Central Valley

Meat Co. in Hanford found that no foodsafety violations occurred, though aninvestigation into inhumane handlingof animals continues.

“The USDA team conducting theCentral Valley Meat investigation hasconcluded there is no evidence to sup-port the allegation that a downer cowwas slaughtered and entered the foodsupply, and that no food safety viola-tion occurred as a result,” says Al Al-manza, administrator of the FoodSafety and Inspection Service.

The USDA closed the plant for aweek this month after an undercovervideo shot by Compassion Over Killingshowed downed animals being repeat-edly kicked, shocked, shot and pulledby the tails by workers trying to getthem to stand. Executive DirectorErica Meier says she is unsure what tomake of USDA’s decision.

“The video is clear and expertsagree: Cows who were too sick or weak

to stand up were egregiously abused,”Meier says. “These animals were exces-sively shocked and grabbed by theirtails in a desperate attempt to get themto walk to the slaughter line. Suchtreatment is not only cruel but a viola-tion of federal animal handling regula-tions put in place for welfare concerns,as well as food safety concerns.”

Outrage over cruelty shown in thevideo was swift as McDonalds Corp.and In-N-Out Burger cancelled pur-chasing agreements along with the fed-eral government, which bought 21million pounds of meat from the com-pany last year for the national schoollunch program and other nutrition pro-grams.

USDA’s findings mean the potentialfor a nationwide recall no longer is afactor. Company officials have beenworking to implement corrective ac-tions, including quarterly training forworkers and more frequent audits.

Video surveillance cameras were in-stalled in the plant last week.

“We have been informed that theUSDA food safety investigation is nowover and there are no food safety issueswhatsoever with our product or opera-tions. As a result, we are resuming fulloperations and production immedi-ately,” the company said in a statement.

USDA inspectors on site at slaughter-houses are trained in humane handlingand “are expected to take immediateenforcement action” if they observe vi-olations, according to USDA.

The video showed workers shockingcows on the face. One worker appar-ently attempted to suffocate a cow bystanding on its muzzle.

Some dairy cows were unable to walkor stand, and some had udders soswollen they were unable to keep theirlegs under them.

COLEMAN, S.D. — Chad Groos, 41,farms two miles north of Coleman, S.D.,with his father, Andy, and brothers Ericand Grant. Groos says his family is for-tunate this year, compared with thosefarther south plagued by severedrought.

The Grooses raise corn, soybeans andalfalfa. They milk 50 head of cows andrun about 250 head of stock cows. Theyfinished planting corn around May 14and beans around June 1, which provedbeneficial in light of the rain patternthey received.

“In the end, it was a blessing becauseit recharged our subsoil in that part ofit,” he says. The Grooses typically hopefor 160 to 180 bushels of corn, but thisyear, they’ll be in the 100- to 120-bushelrange. Their soil is relatively light.

“It seemed like the early-plantedcorn could do — should do — better,”Groos says. “It was under stress, but notas much as our later-planted corn. Ithink the early-planted corn that got inmid-April should do fairly well.”

The Grooses picked up 3 inches ofrain in the first two weeks of August,after July and late June brought littlerain.”Hopefully, the soybeans won’t getfrosted off like they did last year,”Groos says.

He says his family’s dairy is a bitolder than many and uses grain raisedon its farm, so the dairy doesn’t havethe overhead costs of many new opera-tions. “The price of milk is staying upthere, but the feed costs are going to beoutrageous for these bigger dairies,”Groos says. “It’s going to be a strugglefor these larger dairies to get the ton-nage for silage corn. Some of this shortdrought corn is not ‘tonning out.’ It’s afourth of what it normally would be.”

Crop insurance could help bringfarmers close to profits, depending onhow many bushels a farmer sold earlyin the year, Groos says. “This spring ourmarketing guys said to sell early. If this‘big crop’ came in, we’d be looking atsub-$4 per bushel prices. I think therewas a fair amount of corn marketedaround $5 because everything was indi-cating a large crop with the largeacreages projected to be planted.”

� But pricecontinues to hold upBy Jonathan KnutsonAgweek Staff Writer

Area canola growers went into thisgrowing season with high hopes forboth prices and yield. They got half ofwhat they wanted.

“The market did its job. The environ-ment didn’t help as much,” says KevinWaslaski, a Langdon, N.D., farmer andpresident of the Northern PlainsCanola Growers Association.

Canola harvest is wrapping up on theNorthern Plains and producers say thecrop didn’t yield as well as expected.Canola was planted in good order thisspring, which encouraged expectationsfor good yields.

But many fields apparently sufferedmore from dry, hot weather than antici-pated, leading to average or below-aver-age yields, growers say.

Crop disease, particularly aster yel-lows, also contributed to poorer-than-expected yields. Aster yellows, avirus-like disease that usually appearsas a yellow discoloration of leaves, isdifficult to treat with insecticides, ac-cording to information from NorthDakota State University.

Despite disappointing yields, canola’sprice remains strong at about 26 centsper pound. That compares with about22 cents per pound a year ago and 22.5cents per pound two years ago.

“We like the price,” Waslaski says.

North of the borderTwo little moisture and excessive

moisture hurt Canada’s once-promisingcanola crop, says James Loewen, grainmanager with Bunge Canada in Altona,

Manitoba.Aster yellows also was a problem in

Canada, although it’s difficult to esti-mate how much damage was done to thecountry’s canola crop, he says.

Aster yellows were carried to Canadaby the aster leafhopper, an aphid-sizedinsect. The drought in the Corn Beltforced huge numbers of the insects to

move to Canada, according to reports.North Dakota is the nation’s leading

producer of canola and Canada is theworld’s leading producer and exporterof the crop.

Canola oil continues to grab a biggershare of the U.S. vegetable oil market,while canola meal is fed to pigs and cat-tle, particularly dairy cows.

Last year, area canola growersweren’t able to take full advantage ofgrowing demand for their product be-cause of wet conditions that led to only860,000 acres of the crop being plantedin North Dakota.

This year, about 1.3 million acres ofthe crop were planted in the state.

Canola yields disappoint

Minnesota Zoo’s moose getwaterbeds for research

� APPLE VALLEY, Minn. – The moose atMinnesota Zoo now have waterbeds as partof a research project on the impact of heatstress. Zoo conservation biologist Nick Mc-Cann says moose had been on mats toppedwith straw in the zoo holding area. “The rub-ber mats may be insulating the moose. Theymay not allow heat to be conducted awayfrom their bodies to the ground below,” Mc-Cann says. “One of the questions we will askin this study is whether the waterbed will bebetter than the rubber mat at conducting theheat because water is an excellent conduc-tor of heat.” Two of the zoo’s five holdingarea stalls were outfitted with the large wa-terbeds to fit the moose. The Minnesota Zoomoose will be rotated through the holdingarea stalls each day, with data collected fromanimals on waterbeds and on rubber mats.The study is to determine how the air tem-perature, bedding surface, humidity, solar ra-diation and other factors signal to the moosethat it is “hot.” Researchers will comparehow hot moose are when bedded on the wa-terbed surface and the rubber mats.– Agweek Wire Reports

� 6 people killed in2011 explosion

By Bill DraperAssociated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Family mem-bers of four people killed in a grain ele-vator explosion last year in northeastKansas are suing employees of BartlettGrain Co., including its current presi-dent Bob Knief, less than five monthsafter federal investigators pinned theblame for the blast on the Kansas City,Mo., company.

The wrongful death lawsuits werefiled Aug. 27 in Jackson County CircuitCourt in Missouri on behalf of Bartlettemployees Chad Roberts, 20; Ryan Fed-erinko, 21; Curtis Field, 21; and JohnBurke, 24. They were killed along withtwo grain inspectors — Travis Keil, 34,and Darrek Klahr, 43 — when theBartlett elevator exploded Oct. 29, 2011in Atchison, Kan.

“It hurts as bad today as it did then,”Roberts’ stepfather, Kevin Bock, says.“The feelings don’t stop. You learn towork through certain things, but theydon’t stop.”

Bock, whose wife is suing on behalf ofRoberts, says he encouraged the otherfamilies to also sue Bartlett after theOccupational Safety and Health Admin-istration issued a report in April sayingthe grain-dust explosion could havebeen prevented if the elevator’s opera-tors had addressed hazards known inthe industry.

“Bartlett Grain’s disregard for thelaw led to a catastrophic accident andheartbreaking tragedy for the workerswho were injured or killed, their fami-lies and the agricultural community,”U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said inApril in response to the OSHA report,which sought $406,000 in penalties in

addition to citations alleging five will-ful and eight serious safety violations.

Department of Labor spokesmanScott Allen says the company has con-tested the citations and fine, and itcould take up to a year or more for it togo through the administrative reviewprocess.

Bartlett officials have called theOSHA findings flawed and vowed tofight the claims.

When contacted for comment on thelawsuits, Bartlett provided the samestatement it sent out in April criticizingOSHA’s report, though it added a para-graph saying it still believes its employ-ees acted reasonably at all times priorto the explosion.

“While we are just seeing the suit andits allegations, it appears to be basedon nothing more or less than the OSHAcitations, with which we take total ex-ception and which we, therefore, cer-tainly have appealed,” the companysaid.

Ed Dougherty, an attorney for theBocks and one of the other plaintiffs,says the families of Keil and Klahr haveobtained attorneys but aren’t involvedin the lawsuits filed Aug. 27 becausethe men weren’t Bartlett employees andtheir cases will be handled separately.

ViolationsThe Missouri State Fire Marshal’s Of-

fice issued a preliminary report in Oc-tober calling the explosion an accidentand saying there was no evidence ofcriminal activity. The OSHA report,though, came down much harder on thegrain company.

Among the willful violations, OSHAalleged Bartlett Grain allowed graindust, which is nine times as explosiveas coal dust, to accumulate and usedcompressed air to remove dust withoutfirst shutting down ignition sources.OSHA defines a willful violation as onecommitted with intentional knowing orvoluntary disregard for the law’s re-quirements or with plain indifferenceto worker safety and health.

The serious violations, defined asthose with a substantial probability ofdeath or serious physical harm, includeclaims that there was a lack of preven-tative maintenance and that the house-keeping program was deficient becauseit didn’t prevent grain dust accumula-tions.

Bock says the company was helpful tothe families of the victims, but eventu-ally the stream of communication fromBartlett ran dry. He says he hasn’theard anything from the company sincereceiving a letter in late June informingfamilies of a memorial the companyplans to establish overlooking the Mis-souri River and the grain elevator inAtchison.

Bock criticizes the company for notworking with the families on the memo-rial, noting that the elevator isn’t a wel-come sight for people who lost lovedones there.

“One thing I can say for the families,especially the three families that live inAtchison, is none of them like the loca-tion,” Bock says. “They don’t want tolook over at Bartlett when they see thismemorial. They’re not going to visit amemorial where they have to look overat that elevator.”

disasters urged to keep good records� WASHINGTON – U.S. Department of Agriculture FarmService Agency Administrator Juan M. Garcia urges livestockproducers affected by natural disasters such as HurricaneIsaac to keep thorough records of their livestock and feedlosses, including additional expenses for such things as feedpurchases because of lost supplies. “There are extraordinarycircumstances caused by a variety of disasters from fires inthe west, floods in Florida, Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf region,storms in the Mid-Atlantic and drought and heat affecting theheartland,” Garcia says. “Each of these events is causingeconomic consequences for ranchers and producers includ-ing cattle, sheep and dairy operations, beekeepers and farm-raised fish, and poultry producers.” FSA recommends thatowners and producers record all pertinent information of nat-ural disaster consequences: documentation of the numberand kind of livestock that have died, supplemented if possi-ble by photographs or video records of ownership andlosses; dates of death supported by birth recordings or pur-chase receipts; costs of transporting livestock to safergrounds or to move animals to new pastures; and feed pur-chases if supplies or grazing pastures are destroyed.

Technology uses lights, actionand camera to scrutinize fresh produce

� BELTSVILLE, Md. – High-tech tactics to carefully examineapples and other fresh produce items as they travel alongpackinghouse conveyor belts will help ensure quality andsafety. U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists in Beltsville,Md., have developed and patented an experimental, cutting-edge optical scanning system that would use two differentkinds of lighting, a sophisticated camera and other pieces ofequipment to scrutinize produce-section favorites while theystill are at the packinghouse. The system would provide, in asingle image, evidence of certain kinds of defects or contam-inants, according to biophysicist Moon S. Kim with USDA’sAgricultural Research Service. Defects could include cutsand bruises. Contaminants might include specks of fertilizerfrom orchard or field soil. Kim, ARS agricultural engineersYud-Ren Chen and Kuanglin Chao, and ARS biomedical en-gineer Alan M. Lefcourt received a patent in 2010 for theirautomated approach to detecting defects and contaminantson the exterior of fresh produce or other items. The scientists

work in the ARS Environmental Microbial and Food SafetyResearch Laboratory at Beltsville. The team’s system har-nesses the capabilities of a type of camera known as a high-speed multispectral/hyperspectral line-scanner. Positionedabove a conveyor belt, the scanner captures images of eachfast-moving item, such as an apple. Each apple is exposedsimultaneously to ultraviolet light from a UV fluorescent lampand near infra-red light from a halogen lamp. The near in-frared light that bounces off the apple can be captured by aspectrograph and analyzed for tell-tale patterns of defects,while the UV light beamed on the apple can disclose thewhereabouts of contaminants. The system combines infor-mation from both forms of illumination into a single imagewith contaminant and defect results. When linked to a sortingmachine, the system can signal the sorter to separate theproblem apples from others. At present, the system offers, atthe rate of about three to four apples per second, a 180-de-gree view of each apple’s exterior, Kim reports. The scientistsare working to improve the process so it will provide a 360-degree whole-surface view for thorough inspection.

� Yields and quality mostlyOK; prices come up short

By Jonathan KnutsonAgweek Staff Writer

Area durum producers appear to have gone two forthree this growing season. Yields, on balance, are OK.Quality generally is good. But prices are disappoint-ing.

“I think it’s a pretty good crop,” says Ryan David-son, a Tioga, N.D., farmer. “Yields are a mixed bag,but across the board, we’ll come up with a pretty niceaverage. And I’d say overall it’s been our best qualityyear since 2007.”

Weak prices are the big drawback, he and otherssay.

The area’s durum harvest will be nearly finished byearly September, weather permitting.

Though the summer was hot and generally dry,some durum fields received timely rains. Good sub-soil moisture — a result of heavy rains that hurtdurum last year — also benefitted the crop this year,growers say. Area farmers report yields of 25 to 60bushels per acre.

North Dakota typically accounts for more than halfof the nation’s production of durum, which is used tomake pasta. The crop is most popular in northewest

North Dakota.The state averaged 25.5 bushels of durum per acre

in 2011, when excess moisture hurt the crop, and 37.5bushels per acre in 2010. This year’s average yield isexpected to be roughly the same as last year, possiblya little higher.

Montana ranks second in production, concentratedin the northeast part of the state. The state averaged28 bushels of durum per acre in 2011 and 34 in 2010.

Gordon Stoner, a durum farmer in Outlook, Mont.,finished harvesting his durum on Aug. 29. He thinksdurum in his area will yield about 30 bushels peracre, which he describes as average or slightly above.

Though durum quality generally is good, some areaswere hit with scab, a crop disease that can hurt bothyields and quality, growers say.

“There’s more than we expected,” says Bruce Ver-linde, a Noonan, N.D., farmer.

Price considerationsDurum carries the risk of big discounts, or price re-

ductions as a result of poor quality. That makes thecrop riskier to grow than spring wheat, so farmers typ-ically want a higher price for durum to raise it.

But durum currently is fetching about 60 cents lessper bushel than spring wheat at area grain elevatorssurveyed weekly by Agweek.

Farmers will be reluctant to plant durum nextspring unless the crop’s price fetches a premium to

spring wheat, says Larry Neubauer, a Bottineau, N.D.,farmer.

Area durum growers went into the growing seasonsaying that durum prices were too low in comparisonwith other competing crops. Those complaints con-tinue this fall.

Keith Deutsch, a Plaza, N.D., farmer and presidentof the U.S. Durum Growers Association, notes thatdurum acreage has been declining for years.

He doubts the decline will end unless farmers re-ceive what think they is an adequate price for durum.

Davidson says he thinks farmers will continue togrow durum in agronomically well-suited areas, evenif durum prices continue to lag.

But farmers elsewhere likely will turn away fromthe crop if durum prices don’t improve, he says.

Many factors, including the level of this year’s U.S.corn and soybean prices, will influence the price ofdurum and competing crops at planting time nextspring.

“It will be interesting to see what happens over thenext six to eight months,” Davidson says.

Stoner says durum fits well into his crop rotationand that he expects to continue raising it. He typicallystores his durum when prices are low and sells it laterat a higher price.

“Through the years, it (durum) has been pretty goodto me,” Stoner says.

� Factors vary by crop,location and more

By Jonathan KnutsonAgweek Staff Writer

Stress is inevitable in farming, especially duringharvest. This harvest season is bringing both moreand less stress than usual.

On one hand, most area farmers have a break be-tween harvesting small grains and row crops, a wel-come change from recent years.

“It’s been an orderly harvest so far,” says BradThykeson, a Portland, N.D., farmer and president ofthe North Dakota Grain Growers Association.

At the same time, some agricultural producers arestruggling with drought and sky-high commodityprices.

Whether this harvest is stressful or not “depends onthe kind of farmer you are and where you’re at (geo-graphically),” says Ted Matthews, Morris, Minn.-baseddirector of rural mental health for Minnesota’s FarmBusiness Management Program.

For instance, producers who feed corn to livestockare stressed by high prices for the crop, Matthews

says.Stress levels also vary greatly depending on how in-

dividual producers are affected by drought. SomeMinnesota farmers will harvest excellent crops, withother producers harvesting very poor ones, Matthewssays.

Still, this harvest season, at least so far, is prefer-able to some recent ones in which wet conditionsmerged the small grains and row harvests into onelong blur. On the many days crops or fields were toowet for combining, “We sat and wished we could beout there,” Thykeson says.

This year has been different. “It began with thespring. We were able to plant in an orderly fashionand that’s continuing into harvest.”

Stress levels could rise, Thykeson and other farm-ers say.

Area producers need fall rains to help recharge soilmoisture, but harvest would be delayed and compli-cated if rain comes at the wrong time.

‘Don’t rush’ during harvestFor now, though, the upcoming row crop harvest

promises to be the most orderly and least stressful inseveral years.

Even so, some farmers will be tempted to rushthrough harvest, Matthews says.

Most producers are hardworking and competitive,so they’re eager to finish quickly, he says.

“But don’t rush. Take it a little slower,” he says, em-phasizing the need for safety.

Farm families can be stressed by many things be-sides harvest. A growing number of farm women haveoff-farm jobs, which often adds stress, he says.

Matthews, who’s worked with farmers and farm fam-ilies since 1993, says “I’ve never dealt with so manypending divorces.”

He says many factors contribute, including risingland values, which increase a farming operation’s networth and the size of the estate potentially to be di-vided.

It’s hard to tell if this growing season, on balance, ismore or less stressful than recent ones.

For instance, the South Dakota Rural Helpline hasseen little, if any, increase in the number of calls, saysMarcie Moran, with Catholic Family Services in SiouxFalls, which operates the helpline.

Virtually all of South Dakota is in drought, andparts of southern South Dakota are “extremely dry,”the second worst of five drought categories, accordingto the U.S. Drought Monitor, a partnership of federaland academic scientists.

But some rural areas in South Dakota also werestressed in recent years by heavy rains and wide-spread flooding, Moran says.

Season of stress

By Dirk LammersAssociated Press

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — A long-delayed South Dakotabeef processing plant given new life when Korean in-vestors took over in 2009 is without an opening datemore than six years after it was first proposed.

Land for the $109 million Northern Beef Packersplant in Aberdeen was secured in 2006, but financialissues, lawsuits, local opposition, delinquent propertytaxes, flooding, an economic downturn and millions ofdollars in liens have repeatedly pushed back theopening date.

Laure Swanson, Northern Beef Packers’ spokes-woman, says construction of the 420,000-square-foot fa-cility is “pretty much done” but she declined todisclose when operations would begin.

The plant on Aberdeen’s south side will initiallyprocess about 200 cattle per day, eventually rampingup to 1,500 head per day from the Dakotas, Nebraska,Iowa and Minnesota.

Initial financing plans called for Brown County tosell $8.5 million in local tax-increment financing (TIF)bonds, which use expected future gains in propertyvalues to provide development subsidies. The bonds,later capped at $6.95 million, have all been sold, sayscounty auditor Maxine Fischer.

Company officials have said once the TIF moneywas in hand, the plant could complete construction,work toward its opening and pay off any remainingconstruction liens.

A check of Brown County records on Aug. 29 showed16 mechanic’s liens totaling about $1.95 million filedagainst the property since the beginning of the year,says Carol Sherman, register of deeds.

Once locally owned, Northern Beef Packers is 41percent owned by businessman Oshik Song with 69other Korean investors who each gave at least $500,000under the federal EB-5 program that encourages for-eign investment in exchange for qualifications to se-

cure permanent residency.Northern Beef Packers plans to use nearly all of

each animal, producing both U.S. Department of Agri-culture certified meat cuts and offal, which is in highdemand in foreign markets. An on-site renderingplant will open later. Cattle will be knocked out andshackled using Temple Grandin humane methods be-fore machinery pulls the hides from the carcasses.

The plant’s developers recently asked BrownCounty commissioners if the county landfill would ac-cept paunch, the partially digested material takenfrom an animal at the time of slaughter. Residentsvoiced concerns about the potentially unpleasantodor from the waste, prompting the commission to ask

Northern Beef Packers to consider alternatives.“We didn’t go as far as saying we’re going to refuse

to take the paunch, but we did ask them to continue toexplore additional opportunities or options for thepaunch,” Sutton says.

DelaysIn 2006, Aberdeen livestock businessman Dennis

Hellwig became the largest investor in Northern BeefPackers in response to then Gov. Mike Rounds’ SouthDakota Certified Beef initiative. Rounds hoped to getthe state’s ranchers premium prices by allowing con-sumers to track animals from birth, through a feedlotand to a meatpacking plant.

But just as construction of the plant was about tobegin, opponents forced a public referendum on theTIF bond plan. Voters gave their thumbs up, but thenheavy spring rains brought severe flooding, promptingmore delays.

Northern Beef Packers meanwhile used EB-5 to at-tract investors and spur the start of construction, andconcrete was poured for the roads and basement. Butby 2008, the company began falling behind on its prop-erty taxes, mechanics’ liens started piling up and theeconomic downturn dried up financing options.

Hellwig stepped down as general partner when theKorean investors asked to buy out his shares. The newowners recruited another round of EB-5 investors, butthe new investment fund provided loan money insteadof equity shares in the company.

After the plant starts processing cattle, the companywill be able to tap into a state economic developmentfinance authority and a USDA Rural Developmentguaranteed loan.

Sutton says the commission is anxious for the plantto begin processing beef.

“We’re excited to get the plant up and running,” hesays. “It’ll have a real substantial positive impact onour whole northeast region.”

By Debra Levey LarsonURBANA, Ill. — The pace of con-

sumption of U.S. corn has been slowing,as evidenced by small weekly exports,smaller weekly estimates of ethanolproduction, declining cattle feedlotplacements, and increased slaughter ofdairy cows and the hog breeding herd.

The extent of rationing required inthe current marketing year that has justbegun, however, is still not clear sincethe size of the 2012 crop is not yetknown, says Darrel Good, University ofIllinois agricultural economist.

“The average U.S. corn yield will ob-viously be the most important factor indetermining crop size, but the magni-tude of acreage harvested for grain willalso influence crop size,” Good says.

He says the likely magnitude of har-vested acreage starts with the magni-tude of planted acres. The U.S.Department of Agriculture’s NationalAgricultural Statistics Service Juneacreage report estimated corn acreageplanted for all purposes this year at 96.4million acres. “History suggests that thefinal acreage estimate will deviate, atleast slightly, from this estimate,” Goodsays. “For example, in the previous 10years, the final estimate of plantedacres deviated by as little as 37,000 to asmuch as 1.345 million acres from theJune estimate.”

The positive deviations (four) aver-aged 293,000 acres and the negative de-viations (six) averaged 650,000 acres.The recently released USDA FarmService Agency report of plantedacreage of corn in 2012 by those partici-pating in government programs hasbeen used to judge the potential change

in the NASS esti-mate of plantedacreage this year.That reportshowed plantedacreage by pro-gram participantsat 93 million, or96.5 percent, ofthe NASS Juneestimate.

“Some havesuggested thatthis report pointsto an increase inthe NASS esti-mate of plantedacreage,” Goodsays. “However,in the previousfive years, theratio of FSAacreage to theNASS final estimate averaged 97 per-cent in a range of 96.7 to 97.5 percent.The ratio based on the June estimatethis year is slightly smaller than that ofthe final ratio of the previous five years.If anything, then, the lower ratio pointsto the potential for a slight reduction inthe NASS final estimate of plantedacreage rather than an increase,” hesays.

Good says that acreage harvested ofcorn for grain in a given year is equal toplanted acreage minus acreage har-vested for silage minus nonharvestedacreage. Acreage harvested for silagehas declined over time. Acreage har-vested for silage averaged about 9.2 mil-lion acres in the 1970s and about 7.6million acres in the 1980s. That acreage

has been rela-tively stablesince 1990, av-eraging justunder 6.1 mil-lion acres andin a range of 5.3to 7.1 millionacres.

“Acreageharvested forsilage, how-ever, tends tospike in yearsof dry weatherlike that of2012,” Goodsays. “Com-pared to theprevious year,for example,silage acreage

increased by 1.3 million acres in 1980,2.3 million acres in 1988, and just over 1million acres in 2002. This ‘spike’ pat-tern was not observed in 1983 or 1995,however, when harvested acreage ofsilage was less than in the previousyear.” he says.

In the case of nonharvested acreage,Good reports an increase from the pre-vious year of 780,000 acres that oc-curred in 1980, 460,000 in 1988, 258,000in 1995, and 1.65 million in 2002. Theoutlier in the pattern of an increase inacreage not harvested for grain in re-cent dry years was 1983. The patternthat year may have been influenced bythe 21.6 million acre year-over-year de-cline in planted acreage in response togovernment programs aimed at reduc-ing the corn surplus, according to Good.

In 2012“We are anticipating that due to the

severity of this year’s drought, the dif-ference between planted acreage andacreage harvested for grain will be atleast as large as in 1980, 1988 and 2002,”Good says. “Differences in those yearsaveraged 10 million acres, in a range of9.47 to 11.1 million acres. If plantedacreage was also slightly less than theNASS June estimate, that experiencepoints to acreage harvested for grain ofabout 86 million, nearly 1.4 million lessthan the June NASS estimate.”

Under this acreage scenario, Goodsays a national average corn yield nearthe August forecast of 123.4 bushelswould result in a crop near 10.6 billionbushels.

“If the average yield is also four tofive bushels lower than the August fore-cast, as we suspect, the crop may benear 10.2 billion bushels, almost 600million bushels less than the NASS Au-gust forecast,” Good says. “A crop ofthat size would require a year-over-yeardecline in consumption of U.S. corn ofnearly 1.8 billion bushels, or about 14percent.

“Corn prices would likely have to re-main high for an extended period inorder to motivate such a large declinein consumption,” Good says. “TheUSDA’s Sept. 12 crop production reportwill provide an important update on thelikely magnitude of harvested acreage,yield, and production, and bring the ra-tioning question into clearer focus.”

Editor’s note: Larson is a news and pub-lic affairs specialist for the College of Agri-cultural, Consumer and EnvironmentalSciences at the University of Illinois in Ur-bana.

The corn crop � Factors that influence size

“If the average yield is alsofour to five bushels lowerthan the August forecast,as we suspect, the cropmay be near 10.2 billion

bushels, almost 600million bushels less than

the NASS Augustforecast.”

MARKETS

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Crops are ripe acrossthe prairies. The only places not combining are thosegetting rain. Canola yields continue to disappoint.

Canola futures consolidateCanola futures continue to consolidate near con-

tract highs as a result of ongoing spillover supportfrom soybeans. Steady farmer selling has temperedthe upside as deliveries have surged to 300,000 metrictons per week. Commercial stocks are down topipeline levels, keeping the basis strong in the shortterm. But expect basis levels to weaken as harvestprogresses over the next couple weeks. The exportpace has been rather slow in the past couple weeksand will only improve in the last half of September.

Don’t expect the market to trade significantlyhigher in the next month. Soymeal futures are makingnew contract highs, which has been the main factordriving the oilseed complex. The U.S. soybean harvestwill get under way later in September and farmerswill be aggressive sellers at current levels. We maysee the soybean market edge higher in the short term,but the drought has not affected beans as much as thecorn crop. We expect South American soybean acresto increase by 8 to 12 percent this fall. The speculativefunds have a large, long position in soybeans and

canola. This is a risk moving forward as harvest pres-sure may spur on profit taking or long liquidation.

The soybean market has likely overextended andhas incorporated a risk premium because of the un-certainty in production. If soybean yields come inlarger than expected, the market will be vulnerable tothe downside.

Spring wheat slow to move higherDecember Minneapolis spring wheat futures have

been trading in a range of $9 to $9.62 since early Au-gust. The U.S. hard red spring wheat harvest is basi-cally finished and Western Canada is 40 percentcomplete.

Deliveries into the elevator system are starting to

increase. Basis levels are under pressure and com-mercial stocks are building. Strength in corn has leadwheat higher throughout the summer months. But thecorn harvest is moving into full swing and producersare active sellers at current levels. Despite the tightfundamental structure for corn, we expect corn fu-tures to grind lower in the short term. The market willbe sensitive to yield reports during the next month,which will increase volatility.

Fresh export interest is rather quiet because NorthAmerican values are stronger than other major com-petitors. At this time, traders continue to watch Russ-ian export policy. Government officials have statedthey will not impose export controls, but there is stilla fair amount of uncertainty.

Barley prices ratchet higherCash barley values in southern Alberta moved up $5

per metric ton to $260 last week. We continue to hearof additional sales to the Southern U.S. states, whichhas underpinned domestic cash values. Offshoremovement is quiet, with Black Sea origin trading at adiscount to fob offers off the west coast. Saudi Arabia,which is the largest importer, has its nearby require-ments covered and likely will step forward again inlate fall after the corn harvest.

MARKETS

Harvest progress pressures grainsWheat: Russia concerns in market

Wheat traded with little fanfare to start the shortweek last week, but trade with enthusiasm late in theweek. Russia was back in the news helping give wheatsome fire. But for the week ending Sept. 6, wheat sawlittle changes as December Minneapolis gained 1.25cents, December Chicago improved by 2.5 cents andDecember Kansas City improved 5.5 cents.

Wheat opened the short week with decent gains,with strength coming from soybeans and corn. Butonce soybeans started to retreat, it did not take wheatlong to slip lower, as well. Light support was a resultof the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s export inspec-tions report, which has wheat shipments stronger thanexpected. But the sell off in soybeans combined withnews that not only did Russia not implement an ex-port ban, but it reported a sale of 240,000 metric tonsof wheat to Egypt. This shows how eager Russia is tosell wheat. Traders still are expecting Russia to im-plement some sort of export reduction plan, but thiscertainly has to make them question when that willhappen. For sure, Russia now has 240,000 metric tonsless wheat in stocks and is much closer to needing toimplement the ban.

The Sept. 5 session opened and traded lower withearly selling pressure as a result of carryover sellingfrom a lower corn and soybean complex. Selling alsowas tied to pressure from improving weather condi-tions. Hurricane Isaac brought in much-needed raininto much of the Delta regions of the U.S., as well asinto parts of the Southern Plains (but not as much tothe Plains). This will help replenish soil moisture lev-els just as most producers were preparing to plantwinter wheat.

Wheat pushed sharply higher Sept. 6, retaking theleader role. Wheat was supported by news Egypt onceagain bought wheat. Egypt bought 480,000 metric tonsof wheat from Russia (300,000 metric tons), Romania(120,000 metric tons), and Ukraine (55,000 metric tons).The price of wheat this time was much higher, as theBlack Sea region seems to be getting a little smarterand at least increasing its price somewhat to get closeto the world price of wheat. This should have pres-sured wheat, but instead traders are convinced it willlead to wheat supplies declining much faster than ex-pected in the Black Sea region and ultimately forceimporters to come to the U.S.

As of Sept. 2, spring wheat harvest was estimated at95 percent, compared with 89 percent the previousweek and 72 percent for the five-year average.

Corn: yield reportsCorn continued to trade in a sideways pattern and

is unchanged from where it was one month ago. Thefutures now are looking to yield reports for direction,while the earlier harvested fields have been disap-pointing. The harvest is young, but progress is startingto pick up. For the week ending Sept. 6, Decembercorn was off 1.25 cents.

Corn traded sharply higher early Sept. 6 withspillover support from the soybean market. Addi-tional support came from disappointing yield resultsin the early harvested crop. Japan bought 180,000 met-ric tons of U.S. corn, but it is for 2013 to 2014 crop year.Buying interest moved to the sidelines on Sept. 5 andthe market closed 15 cents lower. Profit taking andtechnical selling pressured the market. Estimateswere that the crop condition report would remain un-changed from the previous week and it did, along with10 percent of the crop harvested. The cash marketalso has softened as harvest is under way.

Corn traded with small losses in the overnight Sept.6, but firmed as the day moved along and closed with 7cent gains. Buying interest resurfaced after hittingsupport levels. USDA also announced that private ex-porters sold 217,424 metric tons of U.S. corn to an un-

known destination for the 2012 to 2013 and 2013 to 2014marketing years. A private firm released its yield esti-mate Sept. 7 at 121.4 bushels per acre versus lastmonth’s USDA number of 123.4 bushels per acre.

Ethanol production for the week ending Aug. 31 av-eraged 829,000 barrels per day. This is up 1.2 percentversus the previous week, but down 7.5 percent versuslast year. Total ethanol production for the week was5.8 million barrels versus 5.73 the previous week. Cornused in production for the week ending Aug. 31 is esti-mated at 88.3 million bushels. The cumulative cornused for ethanol production for this crop year is 4.96billion bushels, compared with 5 billion USDA esti-mated for 2011 to 2012. Stocks as of Aug. 31 were 18.73million barrels, which is up 1.3 percent versus theprevious week and up 9.7 percent versus last year.

Crop conditions had 22 percent of the crop rated asgood to excellent, 26 percent fair and 52 percent poorto very poor. Corn that is dented was 86 percent, com-pared with 65 percent one year ago and a five-year av-erage of 63 percent. Corn that was mature was 41percent, compared with 15 percent one year ago and afive-year average of 16 percent. Corn that was har-vested was 10 percent, compared with 3 percent oneyear ago and a five-year average of 3 percent.

Soybeans slip lowerSoybeans struggled last week, actually losing

ground for the first time in about six weeks (week ofJuly 30). For the week ending Sept. 6, November soy-beans were down 9.5 cents.

Soybeans were higher early on Sept. 4, setting a newrecord high overnight at $17.89. Weather concernssupported the market, as recent temperatures fromSouth Dakota to Nebraska have been near 100 degreeswith little rainfall. Demand out of China remainsstrong, as the U.S. will remain the lone supplier untilSouth America’s harvest in early 2013. Crop condi-tions released Sept. 4 were expected to be stable. Soy-beans rated good to excellent stayed at 30 percent,while poor to very poor fell 1 percent.

Commercial selling on Sept. 5 combined with non-commercial long-liquidation to pressure the market.Ideas that recent rainfall and lower temperaturesmay have been beneficial to soybeans added to thenegative tone. Strong end-user demand and poor re-ports on pod-filling should provide support, but profittaking could continue as the market remains slightlyoverbought.

Technical selling continued Sept. 6, pushing soy-beans lower for another session. A private commer-cial trading company revised its yield and projectionestimates higher, putting some pressure on the mar-ket. Throughout the day, strength in the corn andwheat spilled over to soybeans to support the market.Weakness in the U.S. dollar and sharp gains in theDow Jones Industrial Average provided additionalsupport, but a lack of interest from commercial andnoncommercial traders ultimately led to a lowerclose.

Soybeans dropping leaves as of Sept. 2 was at 19percent, compared with 8 percent the previous weekand the five-year average of 9 percent. USDA’s weekly

crop condition rating report estimated the U.S. soy-bean crop at 30 percent good to excellent, 33 percentfair and 37 percent poor to very poor, which was un-changed from the previous week.

BarleyAs of Sept. 2, 89 percent of the nation’s barley was

harvested, compared with 79 percent the previousweek and 71 percent for the five-year average.

DurumUSDA reported no durum export inspections (ship-

ments) for the week ending Aug. 31. Durum exportsales pace was estimated at 300,000 bushels. Thisbrings the year-to-date export sales total to 9 millionbushels, compared with 10.7 million for last year atthis time.

As of Sept. 2, 92 percent of North Dakota’s durumcrop was harvested, compared with 81 percent theprevious week and 48 percent for the five-year aver-age.

The Sept. 6 cash bids for milling quality durumwere at $8 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., while Dickin-son, N.D., bids were at $8.05.

CanolaCanola futures on the Winnipeg, Manitoba, ex-

change closed the week ending Sept. 6 with more than$2 (Canadian) gains. Canola strength came from astrong export market. Commercial firms were aggres-sive buyers of canola in an attempt to cover export de-mand. Rumors are circulating that China is looking atswitching some of its vegetable oil demand to canolaand that helped push canola higher. Reports of de-clining yields as harvest advances added support.

As of Sept. 2, 91 percent of North Dakota’s canolacrop was harvested, compared with 71 percent theprevious week and 49 percent for the five-year aver-age.

Sept. 6 cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at$28.81 per hundredweight.

Dry beansFor the week ending Sept. 2, the following states

were reporting dry bean conditions: North Dakota: 51percent good to excellent, 33 percent fair 16 percentpoor to very poor, a decrease of 3 percent from theprevious week, 26 percent was harvested, comparedwith 3 percent for the five-year average; Minnesota: 66percent good to excellent, 27 percent fair and 7 per-cent poor to very poor, a 1 percent increase from theprevious week, 21 percent was harvested, comparedwith 7 percent for the five-year average; Nebraska: 45percent good to excellent, 46 percent fair and 9 per-cent poor to very poor, an increase of 2 percent, 18percent was dropping leaves, compared with 19 per-cent for the five-year average; Idaho: 18 percent har-vested, compared with 28 percent for the five-yearaverage; and Michigan: 48 percent good to excellent,30 percent fair and 22 percent poor to very poor, a de-crease of 2 percent from the previous week, 24 per-cent was dropping leaves, compared with 21 percentfor the five-year average.

SunflowersAs of Sept. 2, North Dakota’s sunflower crop had 50

percent bracts turning yellow, compared with 26 per-cent for the previous week and 20 percent for the five-year average. North Dakota’s sunflower conditionreport estimated the crop at 64 percent good to excel-lent, 31 percent fair and 5 percent poor, a decrease of1 percent.

Francis began with modest stores inGrand Forks and Fargo, providing serv-ice in eastern North Dakota and ClayCounty, Minn.

A facility on Main Street in Fargo wasbuilt in 1957 and replaced with the cur-rent building on Interstate 29 in 1986.

In 1964, Butler expanded into west-ern North Dakota with the purchase ofShultz Machinery Co. and its stores inMinot and Bismarck.

In December 1988, Butler acquiredthe assets of Kearns Machinery Co. inSioux Falls, Rapid City and Aberdeen,S.D. The company now serves cus-tomers throughout North and SouthDakota.

In March of 1999, a new store openedin Jamestown, N.D. BMC has committedto providing the best possible sales andservice not only in heavy equipment,but also in agricultural equipment.

BMC opened a new training facilityand corporate headquarters in Fargo inJanuary 2000.

In May 2005, a new store was openedin Pierre, S.D., emphasizing ag equip-ment and product support for ag cus-tomers.

Butler Machinery added another lo-

cation, in Hankinson, N.D., in 2008. For-merly Green’s Implement Inc., the Han-kinson location also is primarilyfocused on ag equipment.

In 2009, a new store was opened inDickinson, N.D. The Dickinson store fo-cuses on both the heavy constructionand agricultural markets.

Corn Stalk GuideThe Corn Stalk Guide by Kaler Farms

is an aftermarket attachment for mostpoly corn head snouts. The product is

designed to move the corn stalks intothe combine more smoothly — evenwithcombineopera-tors whoare tiredor, inrows that are curved or in less-than-ideal harvest conditions — leaving lesscorn on the field. More corn collected

in the combine hopper; less corn on theground. The Corn Stalk Guide is madeof high-density plastic and is easily at-tached.

Joel Kaler is a farmer with 30 years ofexperience. He saw a need for an at-tachment that would help keep thestalks moving smoothly into the head

rather than being flung into the field bythe gathering chain. No matter howgood a combine driver anyone is, toomuch corn was being lost on the field.That led him to consider fixing the situ-ation and, after many different models,this is the one that works the best.

! NDSUdemonstrationsfeatured at Big Iron

NDSU Agriculture Communication

The 2012 Big Iron Farm Show set forSept. 11 through 13 in West Fargo, willinclude presentations and demonstra-tions by North Dakota State Universityresearchers and scientists on tillage,soil health, agricultural robotics and aquarter-scale student tractor.

The daily field demonstrations arescheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. south of theBig Iron exhibit area. The demonstra-tions will begin with brief educationalpresentations.

One part of the daily field demonstra-tions will focus on NDSU’s newlyformed soil health initiative. Six NDSUresearchers and scientists who conductsoil health research and ExtensionService efforts will use a soil pit as anaid to discuss the importance of soils toNorth Dakota’s vitality. They will dis-cuss crop and range managementstrategies land managers can use inadapting to changes in climate, crop-ping systems and environmental situa-tions.

Those involved in the soil health ini-tiative include Ann-Marie Fortuna, re-search soil health assistant professor;Abbey Wick, extension soil health assis-tant professor; Chris Augustin, area ex-tension soil health specialist; NaeemKalwar, area extension soil health spe-cialist; Jasper Teboh, soil scientist; andBen Geaumont, wildlife and range sci-ence research assistant professor.

TillageIn another part of the daily presenta-

tions, Jodi Dejong-Hughes, Universityof Minnesota regional extension educa-tor, will discuss shallow-tillage optionsfor various crop management systems.Dejong-Hughes will describe situationswhen shallow tillage is beneficial andother situations when it might be harm-ful to crop production.

NDSU and University of MinnesotaExtension Service personnel are col-laborating with tillage equipment com-panies to feature five types ofshallow-tillage machines to help ex-plain recommended tillage practices.Each tillage equipment company ex-hibiting at Big Iron has been invited todemonstrate a shallow-tillage machineimmediately after the educational pres-entation.

RoboticsThe third part of the session will be

presentations and demonstrations on

robotics in agriculture. John Nowatzki,NDSU Extension machine systems spe-cialist, will discuss current robotic ap-plications in crop and livestockproduction.

John Deere Co. representatives willdemonstrate their machine sync tech-nology that allows a combine operatorto control the location of the tractor and

grain cart for automated on-the-go lock-ing of the grain cart into position andadjusting it as needed for optimal cart-filling and unloading.

Terry Anderson, of Automation Re-search Group, will demonstrate thegroup’s autonomous tractor. It is a 300-horsepower diesel and electric ma-chine that functions in field situationswithout an operator. The tractor has no

facilities for an operator and is pro-grammed to operate autonomously infields using radio and laser signals.

Anderson will demonstrate how thetractor is programmed to know its posi-tion and operate within field bound-aries. He also will demonstrate the“follow me” mode of the tractor. In thiscase, a tractor will follow a pickup tothe field or another tractor in the field.

FARGO, N.D. — Jerry Hagstrom, Wash-ington, D.C., correspondent for Agweek,will be a featured speaker in the RedRiver Farm Network 2012 Big Iron Semi-nar.

Hagstrom, founder of the HagstromReport, an agricultural political elec-tronic daily newsletter, and a contribu-tor to Telvent DTN and others, will offera farm policy update at 10:30 a.m., Sept.12. The RRFN will run three days ofseminars Sept. 11 to 13 at its familiar Is-

sues and Events Center tent, just southof the Big Iron office building at the RedRiver Valley Fairgrounds in West Fargo,N.D.

Hagstrom says he’ll provide late re-ports on whether Congress can finish a2012 farm bill by the end of the fiscal

year in September, or atleast by the end of thecalendar year. “I willhave attended the Re-publican and Demo-cratic nationalconventions and willhope to convey what Imight learn there aboutthe prospects for thefarm bill and the elec-tions in rural America,”Hagstrom says.

Congress is under much more budgetpressure in 2012 than it was for the 2008farm bill, Hagstrom says.

“There’s no extra money for any-thing,” he says. “The bill is much moreof a regional debate and a debate be-tween traditionalists, who want to pro-vide programs for farmers and hungrypeople on one side, and those whose toppriority is to reduce the federal deficitand reduce government spending.”

Maintaining field drainage is critical in keeping every available acre of our farms productive.Sheyenne’s Cyclone Rotary Ditcher simplifies ditching by doing the job efficiently — hydraulically con-trolled delivery chutes keep dirt evenly distributed so there’s no need to go back and level. The unit alsolimits ground compaction created by traditional scraper ditching, while providing task-specific features en-gineered for faster, more profitable operation.
