This has led to large, modern dairies that have an increasing demand for coarse grains and their co-products. These large dairies are complex operations with heavy demands for intensive management, and there is a shortage of management talent for these operations. To help address this need, the Council and Hauxia Dairy Farm formed the Sino-U.S. Dairy Management Training Center in 2006. Less than a decade later, the Center has become a highly regarded program that has helped China’s dairy industry modernize rapidly. It has also helped build demand for whole corn silage and distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) while heightening the positive role the Council plays in the development of China’s livestock industry. Beginning Sept. 23, the Council escorted a team of Chinese dairy herd managers in this training program, to California and Wisconsin. The team members had the opportunity to discuss new ideas and view the latest U.S. technology to expand their thinking on what is possible for the dairy industry in China. The team was also briefed on quality forages and sound herd management practices. The program was rounded out with a visit to the World Dairy Expo where elite dairy cattle, cutting-edge research and modern technologies are showcased. While at the World Dairy Expo, team members transacted deals to purchase equipment this month. In fact, one of the innovative Chinese dairy owners purchased substantial equipment onsite from a U.S. supplier for immediate delivery with a follow-up installation visit by the supplier. The new equipment will help the dairy industry in China continue to enhance their dairy management practices. The Council will continue to work in China’s dairy sector to build demand for U.S. coarse grains and co-products through the Sino-U.S. Dairy Management Training Center and programs similar to this one.

Leaning On Native Bees Amid The Honey Bee Decline From Kate Wilhitem WSU CAHNRS Communications As the decline of honey bee populations garners international attention, David Crowder and Eli Bloom are turning to a different breed of bees for pollination services. Their three-year research project will help farmers and scientists understand native bee communities on small-scale farms in western Washington with support from a nearly half-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. “Scientists really don’t know what an optimal native bee community on a farm in western Washington looks like, so that’s going to be exciting to find out,” said Crowder, an entomologist who studies insect ecology at Washington State University. Bloom, a Ph.D. student who began studies with Crowder a year ago, has been working closely with farmers in rural and urban areas of King and Thurston counties. He has collected about 2,000 bee specimens from two dozen farms, a kind of “bug census” to look at the ecology of bee communities in continued on page C7 October 2014, “The Growers’ Guide” Page C5 MSU’s TechLink Plays Important Role In Combating Ebola Outbreak IN STOCK Precision Disk Montana State University Communications A Montana State University center specializing in transferring U.S. military technology to the private sector played a key role in an experimental treatment that may have saved the lives of two American medical missionaries infected with Ebola and might hold hope for thousands more. Physician Kent Brantly and aid worker Nancy Writebol were both treated in July with ZMapp, an experimental drug that had its origins in the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and was then shepherded into the private sector thanks to MSU’s TechLink and the Army technology transfer office. More than 2,600 people have died from Ebola in western Africa in recent months. Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a worst-case scenario could have 1.4 million people infected by late January. The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases developed one of the key components of ZMapp as part of its mission to protect American soldiers and public health against potential bio-warfare agents and diseases, said Laurel Halfpap, a TechLink senior technology manager. Five years ago, Halfpap facilitated a license agreement between the Army and San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical. The company combined an Army-developed antibody with two other antibodies to create ZMapp, which was administered to Brantly and Writebol in July. Both have fully recovered. “Like many inventions that start with a military purpose, there can be profound dividends on the homefront,” Halfpap said. Should ZMapp receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration, the Ebola-fighting product could be added to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, a repository of vaccines and therapeutics available in the case of a national emergency involving bioterrorism or a natural epidemic. Will Swearingen, TechLink’s executive director, credits the work of Halfpap in helping to broker the deal with Mapp Biopharmaceutical. “TechLink functions as a national partnership intermediary for the Department of Defense,” Swearingen said. “DOD, like all federal agencies, operates under a congressional mandate to transfer its taxpayer-funded inventions to the private sector in order to stimulate the U.S. economy, create jobs, increase our technological competitiveness globally and benefit the public.” With approximately 60 labs, the DOD generates around 550 patents annually, with inventions in virtually all technology fields, including medical technology, advanced materials, software, electronics and communications. Each year, Bozeman-based TechLink transfers 50-100 DOD inventions to private industry, Swearingen said. TechLink is the only organization that reviews all of the patented inventions coming out of the entire DOD laboratory system, according to Swearingen. “The DOD trusts us to select the inventions that we believe would be of greatest interest and then actively market them to companies nationwide,” Swearingen said. According to an economic impact study DOD commissioned in 2012, TechLink’s licensing and other technology transfer agreements had— over 10 years—generated more than $1 billion in sales of new products and services nationwide. Factoring direct and spinoff benefits, these agreements generated $3 billion in economic output and created or retained nearly 18,000 high-wage jobs in the U.S. To learn more about ZMapp, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web page on the drug at: http:// www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/guinea/qa-experimentaltreatments.html. 500T 40-ft.

Scientists don’t believe quarantines will be required but are assessing the significance of the discovery. “We’ve been dealing with a similar nematode for several years,” said Timothy Murray, a plant pathologist at Washington State University. “This new species will have a comparable impact to the existing one and we’ll use the same treatments for its control.” Richard Smiley, an Oregon State University professor, discovered the same species, Heterodera filipjevi, in Oregon in 2008 and was responsible for the find in Whitman County, Wash. The nematode is listed as a quarantine pest by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant Health Inspection Service. The agency can potentially prohibit farmers from planting susceptible crops in infected fields. The pest affects wheat, barley, oats and other wheat-like grasses. However, Murray doesn’t think quarantines will be required. He is in close communication with the inspection service to develop appropriate responses. The recommended treatment for the pest is crop rotation and nematode-resistant wheat varieties. These practices keep nematode numbers low, thus reducing damage. “These nematodes are significant pests around the world,” Murray said. “But there isn’t really a reason to quarantine fields in Washington since the nematode is already established and our farmers know how to manage them.” Once nematodes are present, they are difficult to eliminate. Since they can’t grow on peas or lentils, significant numbers die during crop rotation. Murray said quarantine is useful in areas where a pest is newly introduced and could be prevented from spreading. But since this nematode already is established in Washington fields, quarantine is unlikely to be effective. “We estimate the new pest was introduced 10 to 15 years ago,” he said. He also said Smiley’s research has shown that yield losses due to cereal cyst nematodes rarely exceed 10 percent, with a conservative estimate that nematodes do around $3.4 million in damage each year. Murray said more surveys are needed to see how far the species has spread. The better the pest can be tracked, the more accurate the response for and from farmers. Smiley found three locations but did not look outside Whitman County. More information is available on the WSU Extension small grains website athttp://smallgrains.wsu.edu. NEVER MISSED A HARVEST!

The more than 20,000 bee species in the world have a wide range of characteristics, just like other groups of animals. Although some native bees produce honey, the ones Crowder and Bloom work with don’t produce enough honey to collect. The costs of rearing honey bees to pollinate crops, or even as a hobby, can add up for a small-scale farmer, so many farmers are interested in using native bees as an alternative. Although native bees are often less abundant, Crowder said it is possible for several species of native bees to come together and provide all the pollination services needed during a growing season. Working directly with farmers, Crower and Bloom will use what they learn about the native bee populations to focus on practical techniques to promote native bee health and communities, including flowering strips with native Pacific Northwest plants, bare ground and other habitats. “What excites me the most is in the very short term we are going to get a lot of really interesting information about these bee communities,” Crowder said. He’s also hopeful that in five to 10 years the research will have built a foundation that can drive changes in diversified farming systems for both organic growers and growers who are transitioning to organic systems.

You can find it on the University of Wisconsin Extension forage Web page at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/forage/. Tower silage will pack because of the head pressure created, but it will pack much more uniformly if you have distribution through the silage delivery spout that will layer the silage rather than form a pile. Finally, all bunkers and piles should be covered with plastic within 12 hours of finishing chopping. Remember that deterioration penetrates well beyond the color difference at the top. With no cover, Kansas State University researchers measured 80 percent dry-matter loss in the top 10 inches. Covering with plastic reduced dry-matter losses to 20 percent in the top 12 inches. Don’t waste that amount of forage or sacrifice its quality. Harvesting whole-plant corn at the right moisture content and particle size is crucial to making high-quality corn silage that is well-utilized by dairy cows. Whole-plant moisture content rather than kernel milk line positioning should be your trigger for when to harvest corn silage. Monitor particle size and kernel and cob breakage to ensure that the forage harvester-crop processor is doing the job. Remember, if you use additives, apply them properly, pack thoroughly and cover securely to minimize storage losses. Visit http://tinyurl.com/cornsilage for more information on creating corn silage.

Build it with Direct Seed. www.directseedloans.org Following the trend of the last decade, financing for grains commodities will continue to be readily available next year. As liquidity remains high and interest rates remain low, financing risk should also remain low. At Export Exchange 2014 http://exportexchange.org/, the premiere international trade conference focused on the export of U.S. coarse grains and co-products, Terry Barr, senior director of CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange Division, will delve further into this topic. “In the last decade, we’ve had tremendous amounts of liquidity on a global basis,” Barr said. “The central banks have made significant infusions into the financial markets. The last decade has been a very atypical period with near zero interest rates and very accommodative central banks across the globe.” The last few years have also been characterized by significant increases in supplies of all grain commodities, as growing countries continue to expand operations. A larger supply drives commodity prices down, as has been seen in U.S. corn marketing with its 2013/2014 corn crop. The price dropped more than 30 percent in 2013 and another 20 percent this year. This trend, coupled with plenty of available capital, means the cost for importing grains over the next eight to 12 months will be low. Looking toward the future, expectations are that the competition for capital will increase as markets normalize from an unusually long period of high liquidity and low interest rates. “Once we get to a transitioning period with these commodity markets, I would expect to see increased costs going forward,” Barr said. “But it’s certainly not going to reach a magnitude that is going to offset all the benefits that would occur to the importer from lower grain and oil food supply prices.” Register at http://exportexchange.org/register-today to learn more about this dynamic topic.

New Japanese Feed Labeling System From U.S. Grains Council Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) has proposed revisions to its feed labeling regulations to allow feed manufacturers greater flexibility to respond to changes in the cost of ingredients. Under the old feed labeling regulations, feed millers might be hesitant—solely because of the cost of relabeling—to shift from corn to wheat or domestic rice in response to price changes. The new regulations will make it easier to change ingredients and will make Japanese feed millers more pricedriven. In the end, Japanese consumers will be the big winners. These labeling regulations focus on consistency of ingredients to ensure quality and protect livestock producers. Standards are very high and, before the revisions, lacked flexibility that sometimes added substantial costs. As global feed markets became more competitive, and as feed ingredients became increasingly diversified by type and origin, these regulations became increasingly burdensome. For example, a Japanese feed manufacturer would be handicapped by costly relabeling requirements if he actively pursued lowest-cost formulations in an ever-changing and competitive marketplace. “The new regulations are a long-awaited and are a desirable deregulation,” said Tommy Hamamoto, U.S. Grains Council director in Japan. “Feed manufacturers will be allowed a wider range in the percentage composition of various ingredients. For example, a 4 percent label for an ingredient might allow a 2 to 6 percent range in the product.” “Quality will be maintained, but it will be possible to react to rapidly changing ingredient pricing without triggering costly relabeling requirements. In addition, tailored feed compound products will be exempt from the labeling, which will also reduce costs.” The revised regulations are scheduled to be introduced in April 2015. The Council believes this revision is favorable for introducing new ingredients into rations and will continue to educate end-users in Japan about how these revisions impact them.

The butterflies were freed in Yakima and Walla Walla. Each butterfly has a small circular sticker attached to a wing. He wants to know where butterflies from the Pacific Northwest go for overwintering in order to enhance conservation strategies and to determine whether Pacific Northwest populations are distinct from eastern U.S. populations. “We are beginning to get reports of people seeing them but we’d like to alert more people to be on the watch for them in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona,” James said. The butterflies released from Washington generally head to California but James believes they may get all the way to Mexico based on previous reported sightings of butterflies tagged with his email address. In 2012 one of James’ butterflies was reported from Utah, off course from California destinations but along the way to Mexico. The insects head south to spend winter in warmer areas before making a return migration in spring. The tagged butterflies will live for up to 8 months. Monarchs rely on milkweed plants for laying their eggs and providing food for their young. The larvae, or caterpillars, feed on the leaves of the milkweed plants until they turn into chrysalids, later emerging as the familiar orange and black butterfly. “As well as providing potential data points, these releases are making a significant contribution to the conservation of this American icon,” James said. In the last 20 years, monarch butterfly populations are thought to have declined by more than 90 percent due to loss of habitat. The application of herbicides may be the reason the amount of milkweed available to Monarchs in Midwestern corn and soybean fields has been drastically reduced. “We also have a milkweed problem in western U.S. too with road authorities in California and Oregon in particular routinely spraying most roadside vegetation including milkweed,” James said. The Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Food Safety, the Xerces Society and monarch scientist Dr. Lincoln Brower of Sweet Briar College filed a legal petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeking Endangered Species Act protection for monarch butterflies in late August. With the help of inmates at the Walla Walla Penitentiary who help rear, tag and release the butterflies, James and the butterfly enthusiasts who spot the colorful creatures are helping to solve a butterfly mystery.

Rust, Professor of nuclear engineering (Ret.), Georgia Tech Policy Advisor, The Heartland Institute; jrust@ bellsouth.net; 312/377-4000 “As the global temperature standstill hits 18 years beyond what the models predicted the climate activists are left with more than 50 excuses to explain why temperatures are not rising. “The ‘pause’ reveals that it is scientifically obvious that carbon dioxide is not the overriding driver of the climate. The global warming movement has morphed into a coalition of ‘climate cause deniers.’ They deny the hundreds of causes and variables of climate change and pretend CO2 is the ‘control knob’ overriding all the others.” —Marc Morano, Publisher, Climate Depot; [email protected]; 312/377-4000 “Yes there has been no warming for 18 years, but The New York Times has just reactivated it’s environmental global warming/climate change coverage team to increase coverage of what they regard as the most serious issue of our time. At the Times Web site, where it announced this new climate team, I posted this comment: “There has not been any significant man-made global warming in the past, there is none now, and there is no reason to expect any in the future. The computer models that predicted the warming have failed to verify. There has been no warming in 18 years. The ice at the poles is stable. The polar bears are increasing. The oceans are not rising. The march in New York was a political event dominated by communists and socialists who are using climate change as a devise to raise anti-capitalism hell. This is a great distortion of science with a political agenda driven by huge federal tax dollar research grants. I strongly urge the reporter group at the Times to break the really big story and research and see it through: Global warming/climate change has become a politically driven folly without any verified scientific basis. The evidence to support what I have said is there for the looking. Start with the Nongovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the work of Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace, and go from there. It can be the investigative story of your lifetimes.

When the endless computer models that predicted warming turned out to be wrong, you might think that the news media would report this extraordinary result. When Hollywood actors, economists, and others with no background in science continue to proclaim global warming, we can feel confident to dismiss them. “But the worst of this 18year anniversary of the lack of warming is the fact we have a president, a secretary of state, and others in the Obama administration who continue not only to proclaim warming, now called climate change, but suggesting that it is the greatest threat to the nation and the world. The absurdity of this should hold them up to ridicule, but these pronouncements are published without criticism. “The current cooling cycle Earth is experiencing will continue for many years to come, and its cause is nothing more mysterious than our Sun, which is, itself, in a natural cycle of lower radiation.

But the fact of the matter is that organic farmers use more fossil fuels per-acre and per-bushel of food produced because they’re forced to rely on tillage for weed control instead of herbicides. Hence, organic farmers emit more CO2 per-acre and per-bushel which, according to globalwarming activists, was supposed to have resulted in atmospheric global warming. “But here we are in 2014 and there has been no global warming for the past 18 years.

USCA Supports USDA Beef Checkoff Review From U.S. Cattlemen’s Association The United States Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) board of directors voted to support the Secretary of Agriculture’s stated intent to overhaul the Beef Checkoff program. Secretary Vilsack has related publicly his frustration with the lack of substantial progress being made by the Beef Checkoff Enhancement Working Group (BCEWG) and said he is considering using his own authority to make changes to the program. The USCA board feels the same frustration and officially voted unanimously not to support the proposed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) drafted by the BCEWG. USCA, together with National Farmers Union (NFU), initiated the BCEWG in 2011 at the request of the Secretary to address governance issues with the Beef Checkoff. The two groups originally requested the Secretary write a new Beef Checkoff Order under the 1996 Commodity Promotion Act. The Secretary made it clear he would not step in until the two groups had exhausted all possibilities of getting the major beef industry groups to work through the divisive issues surrounding the Beef Checkoff. The group consisted of the American Farm Bureau Federation, American National Cattlewomen, Cattlemen’s Beef Board, Federation of State Beef Councils, Livestock Marketing Association, Meat Importers Council of America, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, National Livestock Producers Association, National Milk Producers Federation, NFU and USCA. Three years of meetings culminated in a memorandum of understanding. The memorandum was designed to reflect the changes that the groups had found some degree of consensus on. It was the intention of the group that they would not move forward and sign the memorandum until it was approved by the governing body of each group involved. While all the groups have not made official decisions on the Memorandum, one of the guiding principles adhered to in the BCEWG is all the groups had to be on board to pursue any enhancement. USCA President Jon Wooster issued the following statement: “Cattle producers deserve an enhanced Checkoff program now, not a decade from now. The Secretary’s remarks concerning the Checkoff signify the Administration’s commitment to seeing this process through and enacting substantial reforms. The Secretary’s actions are needed and timely and USCA looks forward to engaging with USDA and members of our industry in rewriting a new Beef Checkoff Order in a manner that addresses the needs and interests of all US cattle producers. USCA is hopeful of achieving meaningful Checkoff reform and have been since we first initiated these discussions with National Farmers Union three years ago.” “USCA’s member-driven policy calls for very specific reforms to the national mandatory beef Checkoff, including: periodic, scheduled referendums; a complete separation of the Federation of State Beef Councils and any policy organizations; and no increase in the per head assessment until substantial, recommended enhancements are made.” “Clearly, the BCEWG’s MOU does not meet key producer concerns and the board has acted accordingly. USCA has whole-heartedly engaged in this process since the beginning, but believes the process has exhausted itself and we will now shift our focus to supporting Secretary Vilsack’s stated intentions.” “U.S. cattle producers deserve and need the most effective Checkoff program possible and too much time and energy have already been spent in the working group without a solution being reached. We encourage Secretary Vilsack to take immediate steps to implement the substantial reforms needed, which will protect the future of the Checkoff and allow it to grow and to work more efficiently in today’s beef industry environment. USCA eagerly awaits the Secretary’s next steps and we stand ready to work with him and other stakeholders to reform the Checkoff in a positive, meaningful manner.” October 2014, “The Growers’ Guide” Page C15 ORDER NOW FOR SPRING! 250 COUGAR New Model DRILL Limited Production, Order Now! 2-Rank, 50’ Drill • 5-Fold For Transport New SW12000 Cart can be ordered with two 175-bu. poly tanks.
